One could argue that because we were always told to blindly love the army, now when its flaws are being exposed the reaction is especially hurtful. In that context the current outpouring is understandable and also a potent reminder to those higher up that lies eventually catch up with you no...

This reaction shows the protests outside the residence are getting to them. This isn't Pakistan though, they are restricted and trying to act like tough guys in the hopes people will get scared and leave them. I'm sure the value of the street has dropped and the neighbors are furious with Nawaz.

Don't forget the Turkmens https://www.rferl.org/a/turkmenistan-border-guards-skirmish-taliban/31638582.html At this point China is the only neighbor they are not clashing with and that's probably due to the geography of the Wakhan.

Basant was something else and Lahore has not been the same since the ban. Used to be the highlight of the year for us, especially comparing our hands the day after in school/college to see whose hands were in a worst state. I think in general Lahore was at its peak up till the late 60s. Since...

Whenever one reads "takes notice" you know nothing is going to happen. Political jargon to appease the media/masses.

Pakistanis generally treat cricket matches as a family event. You will find women, children, old people coming to games along with the men. The priority for these fans is to get their family to safe places rather than engaging with thugs.

Hope sanity prevails. The institution will suffer serious consequences for the foreseeable future if no mechanisms (either inside the army or via the political executive) are found to curtail the transgressions of a COAS.

Yes last time we won 8 medals was in 2002. Most of the medals then were also in weightlifting, boxing and wrestling. Our hockey is a shambles now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistan_at_the_2002_Commonwealth_Games

I know many of you are doing this already but just a reminder that please do report the spammer. It becomes much easier for us to take him down faster than us going through all the latest posts.

The spammer seems to have received a lot of money today. Very active :lol:

Even in last election major rigging took place in amongst other Lahore. At that time many did not believe us when we said this.

Why don't they organize protests, shut down cities. In other countries such a powerful business community would be able to wreck havoc but Pakistanis don't protest and demand their rights. I am not talking about one off dharnas. I am talking about sustained protests over long periods of time...

They have been caught inbetween the imperial ambitions of Serbia, Greece and Bulgaria though. They should have been part of Bulgaria to begin with but Serbia strongarmed them into Yugoslavia and engrained a new "Macedonian" identity into them. How does one undo this?

It's standard protocol, all ambassadors receive this treatment e.g. below the ambassador of Sudan.

The entire industry is in crises mode. They were not prepared for the post-pandemic period and are critically understaffed. Here in Scandinavia, SAS (Scandinavian Airlines) posted big losses and will not seemingly get anymore bailouts from the Swedish/Danish/Norwegian governments anymore.

In the future these same companies will think 10 times before entering the Pakistani market.

The only possible positive aspect of getting these crooks into power was a removal from FATFs list. They didn't even manage that! Talk about being utterly useless. The future is bleak ...

He compromised his principles in order to attract "electables" to his side as his previous politics was giving him no results. Ultimately neither did this strategy as these same "electables" jumped ship when it mattered the most. The term "nazuk moor" gets thrown around casually in Pakistan but...
