Despite what may appear to the uninitiated, it wasn't what Imran Khan was saying that bothered the Americans, it was what he was doing. No amount of lip service would have pleased them. And changing his policies and actions would have pushed the country to ruin. Which is what will happen now...

Doesn't sound like him. The voice is similar but the accent is off.

If the No Confidence vote is allowed to go ahead, and PDM is allowed to form a government, they will do everything (and I mean everything) in their power to prevent IK from forming a government in the next election, let alone gain a two-thirds majority. So that will definitely be a major blow to...

If he gets a clear majority (big if), I'm curious as to what he would do with PML-Q. They are allies, but have proven to be unreliable.

Why did Qasim Suri chair the session today? Where is Asad Qaisar?

This is haram. Even listening to it for entertainment is not permitted.

Any argument has to be based on facts, and your facts do not hold up. The economy is not where it needs to be, but it is on an upward trajectory. The economy is definitely better than it was under NS or Zardari. All the parameters reveal that. As for our foreign policy, I have been around for...

If it was a hypothetical question, then the answer was also hypothetical. The relationship with Saudi Arabia and UAE is fine. Not sure what you're on about. The way to handle such an absurd question was to make it clear that it is out of the question i.e. it is non negotiable, which is what...

Honest question. MQM took 7 seats from Karachi. If they ally with PPP, who is deeply unpopular among most Karachiites, will they be able to retain those 7 seats? Or will they lose support to PTI in the next election?

He's just buying some time. He will call early elections. Clearly, he no longer trusts them. There will be no seat adjustment in the next election.

Easy to say that. But had he not used electables and made alliances with the likes of MQM and PMLQ, he would not have been able to form a govt. Forming a govt in 2018 was absolutely essential, as it saved the country from default. In the last 4 years, the fx reserves have gone up, CAD is down...

What gives you the impression that he was waiting for Biden's phone call? When he said it felt like when he won the world cup, he was talking about the reception upon his arrival, not because he had won anything. I think you're a wee bit biased.

Don't MQM supporters hate PPP? How will they react if MQM leadership decides to go with PPP? That would give PTI a huge advantage in the 2023 election. I think MQM supporters would pick PTI over PPP any day, if they had to pick one.

Qureshi is busy with domestic politics.

It is incredible that IK was able to pull this off. Over time, if allowed to remain in place, it will be recognized as one of the greatest gifts that IK has given to this nation. In the short term though, people still do not realize how revolutionary this is. The opposition knows this. That's...

In 1998, the US launched a number of Tomahawk missiles into Afghanistan. One of them fell inside Pakistani territory. It is claimed that the technology was helpful in the development of Pakistan's own missile technology. The Americans vowed to not make the same mistake again, and made sure to...

I don't understand. If Benazir and Zardari were grooming this guy for leadership, why did they not take the trouble to get him an Urdu tutor when he was younger? They certainly have the money. The only reason can be that they see the awam with absolute contempt, not even worthy of being spoken...

Thanks to the host, Ayesha Naz, for making him look like an idiot. He wanted to look like he is making fun of IK. But she exposed his real state of mind when she said that he's really upset. This is what they do. They try to hide their rage behind sarcasm and insults. Reminds me of Maryam's...

Well, a pension fund is a saving scheme. And this is being done at the government level for everyone, not just government employees. So it's a good thing. Something as comprehensive as the the NHS maybe a long way, since it requires a higher tax to GDP ratio. But something along the lines of...

This is election fund raising. All those bribes don't appear out of thin air.
