Whether similar laws exist in the US or Europe is irrelevant. In Pakistan, we need exceptionally stringent laws to control our exceptionally high levels of corruption. The perceived disadvantages of these laws that you enumerated in your earlier post are hypothetical. Even if they are true...

Take him to court then! Nothing stopping anyone from doing that. Doodh ka doodh, pani ka pani ho jayga.

You expect too little.

Because these accusations were leaked to the media, but never taken to a court of law.

I guess it is now plain for everyone to see that it was NS's people who were behind the recent attack on Asim Bajwa, and the leak of all his family's tax/NADRA information. The fact that that Indian vlogger was the one to break the story should be an indication of whose interests are aligned...

You can wallow in your hopelessness by yourself. Why create this thread and share/spread your hopelessness?

I do not know if Lt Gen Asim Saleem Bajwa is corrupt or not. But two things are worth considering. If there is any credible evidence against him, why is he not being taken to court. Despite what some people would have us believe, military personnel (especially retired) are not untouchable...

There's no accounting for taste. That's tacky!

Unlike Pakistan, you can be sure that the real thing is going to look exactly like the renders :-)

I posted this on the Turkish Defence forum as well. Posting it here as there are some interesting comments re Pakistan. HOW AMERICA’S EXPERIENCE WITH PAKISTAN CAN HELP IT DEAL WITH TURKEY War On The Rocks Aaron Stein and Robert Hamilton August 25, 2020 In its ties with Turkey, the United...

OP: While it may worry the Turks that some US commentators are beginning to talk about Turkey in the same tone as Pakistan, I believe the equivalence is inaccurate, and the premise of this article is rather shallow. Nevertheless, it's useful to understand their thinking. HOW AMERICA’S...

I understand why what I am saying would be hard to accept, and offensive. I am certainly not saying that all Arabs have this complex. Many Arabs are confident, humble, enlightened people, who embody the essence of the Islamic character. Unfortunately, they do not wield much influence in the...

Anti personnel mines are illegal according to the Geneva Convention, of which we are signatories.

You just called 250m people brainless drones, who do not have the capacity to think for themselves. Your bigotry has been laid bare.

By far the greatest cause for the current state of the Arabs is this: The feeling of inferiority against the Europeans, and their need to compensate for it by using Islam to justify their superiority over other Muslims. This complex has left them essentially losers on both sides; on one hand...

Egypt, Iraq, and the lands of Shaam (which includes the four states of Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine)....these are the countries that have/had a large population with a sizable, educated, middle class. They are the ones without oil, and have been either destroyed, divided, or oppressed...

Mixed use development that includes both private property development, as well as publicly accessible areas, would be acceptable. What I would hate is an island for the filthy rich, with the "riff-raff" kept out. Knowing the attitude of the Pakistani "elite" I wouldn't put it past them to try...

I hope this does not work out. Its a waste to build a gated community that only the rich can afford. There is so much more that can be done with these islands.

Both Pakistan and KSA are coming into their own, as far strategic foreign relations are concerned. Like mature states, we follow our own foreign policy priorities while supporting each other wherever our interests align. Some people would argue that historically KSA has been the big brother in...

It is a strategic partnership. But it is no longer a big brother/little brother relationship. Those days are over.
