You can't legislate what's in their brain and in their heart. How about you stop calling them kafir which leads to THEM being killed and oppressed? Sunni Pak muslims are not the ones being killed and oppressed because an ahmadi thinks that ahmadis are also muslims. They have every right to use...
Missed this absurdity. This line of thinking is the same as when people think wearing jeans is the first step towards being a prostitute. On top of having leaders set an example on something that's one's own personal business? Classic example of the extremism in self-styled liberals of Pak.
Because those expanded domestic routes are not feasible. Not yet at least. No one cares if Dera Ghazi Khan is not served by an airline, there are trains for that, and Multan is not far off. Add to that the cost of having to maintain a station with support staff, station manager, air traffic...
CPEC will go ahead with the original Chinese plans of helping the Pakistani energy, industrial and agricultural sector instead of the politics-induced but economic white elephant projects of metros, bullet trains, and motorways that noon league thought was/is going to be bring development. Those...
maybe those causing the problem should off themselves instead of PM IK not availing the brightest Pakistani there is in economics, after all nothing is bigger than Pakistan... period.
People overplay the security situation card AND the expat card in a high tech development setup. None of these engineers will be working on the side of the road or in an high visibility environment - they're going to be working in a closed setup in the middle of nowhere where they are protected...
the usual u.s blabbering. However what a poster has said about SMQ is correct. He's worthless and represents no new thinking in how to deal with others and uphold Pak's interests.
a prudent and much-needed decision. the distortions, and there are many, need to be sorted out. they might hurt politically but IK has said he's not a politician.
The bluster and posturing from pompeo and co. was reassuringly missing from the talks. Good that Pak didn't overreact with its own bluster. Good that Pak didn't make any promises or assurances, not that the u.s. was in any position to ask for them. Pak's interest in afg is for the instability...
Like i said, pompeo and co. were playing to the gallery of sounding tough. They'll again mouth off when they land in delhi. They've got an appearance and "credibility" to keep up. Pakistan, as usual, reacted and lost track of what it needed to convey about its national interests and the need for...
Chaudhry is busy sounding like an apologist buffoon. Ghafoor is busy taking selfies and giving himself awards. Bajwa is more concerned about how peaceful looking he is rather than looking after Pak's interest. Hayat is taking free foreign trips as it's coming close to retirement time. Mukhtar is...
leaving the rest of your spiel, the highlighted statement is has no basis in reality. Neither do the supposed compulsions the nyt article trotted out. Somehow he reached out before the govt even took place, and before the reasons given (fatf etc) ever took place? Just a story written to expand...
You're unhinged. What any of what you say has anything to do with the best Pakistani economist in the world in a position to help with Pak's economic situation in an advisory role in Atif Mian who considers himself to be Muslim is beyond me or anyone with a brain...
American became a...
You can believe that but that's none of the state's business. It's a gigantic waste of time and resources for the state trying to define who is muslim or isn't. One shouldn't be bothered with such trivial matters in the first place. Notice i didn't say that you don't have a right to call them...
Naltar Valley is (still) beautiful, but it's depressing to see the lush green mountains and valleys i used to visit in the 90s turned into bald, brown, and rocky natural sores due to deforestation. There could be (and were) tens of Naltar Valleys if proper land management is instituted.
Point is that the GoP is terrible at setting out and achieving its own interests because it always gets boxed in by others when the agenda is being set in the public domain. Point is that not only are they playing their domestic audience, they're playing Pakistan's domestic audience AND the...
