Impressive turnout! Latest GE polling I saw put PTI one percent ahead of PMLN in national polling, although the polling probably wasn't too accurate due to the methodology and because of a large pool of undecided voters, it still shows the resilience of PTI's vote bank, despite all the challenges.

He was a refreshing voice on TV aye. I was a diehard IK fan at one time. IMO Geo’s editorial line might have sided with PMLN, just like ARY’s sides with PTI. But I think the criticisms levied by the former against him now are very close to those things he railed against back in the late...

They should not be involved in politics anyway. Decision making even on foreign policy issues should primarily be given to the FM. They are not aligned any longer. Bajwa was pushing for this normalisation with India, IK against it, IK damaged ties with GCC Bajwa repaired, the army decided that...

That whole aligning himself with the army isn’t going so well though, huh? The army should be apolitical, aligning yourself with them or against them shouldn’t even be a thing. If that’s the case then why not contest their seats and why build an alliance with them in the first place? Whose such...

Unless the big boss tells you it’s cool, they’ll join your coalition anyway after elections. It’s not Q league’s fault Imran made enemies of the folks that built him up and made him PM.

Okay, so they didn’t have a problem with IK, nor was it a business decision, they turned on him why? Because he got successful??

I'm pretty sure making enemies with the serving government and PM, having PEMRA pull you off air, mess with your broadcast, advertisers be pulled away from you because of government backlash, frivolous NAB cases made against you personally to lock you up, etc. These are not prudent business...

It's funny, there was a time Geo was the biggest promoter of IK, especially Hamid Mir. One of the few networks and anchor that would defy suggestions and interview him.

It is arguably the best healthcare initiative in recent years, and easily one of the best policies of this government. :tup: Shortcomings however are expected and to be acknowledged. Frankly, a few years ago if someone asked me whether Pakistan was capable of having semi-universal healthcare...

Let the Chai jokes commence. BrahMos Range - 290km Speed - Mach 2.8 CEP - 300km ??? Etc.....

As sitting PM, IK has a few nuclear options up his sleeve. Let's see how the chess pieces move. Asad Qaiser is now also the most important man around, IK can use him justly to delay a vote, unjustly and unconstitutionally to delay a vote, or even to cast votes aside made by disgruntled PTI...

Bottom line, if it's true, expose them. Do that and they will never win another byelection again. I'll remain sceptical until I see some evidence.

You mean courts are enforcing due process, and IK can't act like a tin-pot dictator? quelle horreur...

The opposition are actually banking on people who will only walk on the floor of assembly and not before then. If all of these people are given away, the government can put them out of action (even temporarily) or through illicit measures. They will only feel safe outing themselves when the game...

Makes sense for them then, there's really not that much sense in NAB on top of the other agencies. And even if one were to make a case for a NAB like agency, the actual agency in practise is an abomination.

Every single one of them has used it, including self-righteous IK. It's a bs institution and it needs to be either reformed or scrapped entirely. And nothing stops today's opposition from using it against IK & co. when they are out of power. It's easy to make up frivolous cases then throw...

Nothing, and that's what's been happening. Until recently.

What do you think NAB is there to do, seriously?

He’s been throwing the opposition in jail for fun all this time. So they aren’t the issue. The people who helped him win power will keep him check when he’s out. They did literally the exact same with NS back in 93’. He’ll definitely stay a national leader with a good amount of support, but...

He already said in a speech his Obi-wan quote, “agar hakumat se bahar nikal aya to ziyada khatarnaak sabit honga”... something like that. It wasn’t meant for the opposition as much as it was for Khalid Bin Waleed minus. The opposition might try to remove him via parliament, you don’t need any...
