    Afghanistan situation is volatile, out of Pakistan's control: Moeed Yusuf

    I was recently watching Dr. Hussain Nadim (IPRI), who works directly under our NSA, talk about how an inclusive government in Afghanistan is probably not possible, he did say it was his personal view, I think I agree with it. Afghanistan never had any inclusive government, and Taliban...

    Latest: Journalist Arshad Sharif, with his colleagues, allegedly beat journalist Siddique Jan

    Even though Siddique Jan types are always provoking others, violence in any form shouldn't be tolerated. Should be investigated by the authorities.

    Pakistan Needs a Proactive Afghanistan Policy As the United States and its NATO allies withdraw from Afghanistan, the stalled intra-Afghan peace deal is all but dead in the water. For Pakistan, this means formulating a policy that takes into account the near-certain possibility of increased...

    Are we going back to Musharraf days? Who allowed such negative documentary about Pakistan?

    I think they'd allow our media to go to their country and make a documentary about their ills. The question is, is our media even interested to do that? You completely ignored my point about Mullah Abdul Aziz. Why is a terrorist roaming free preaching hate and even allowed to speak to press?

    Afghanistan after American withdrawal: Four scenarios

    SCENARIO 1: THE EXISTING ORDER IS PRESERVED Under this scenario, the existing political and social dispensations in Afghanistan would be maintained, with minimal changes to the constitution and the preservation of existing formal civil liberties and human rights, including the rights of women...

    Are we going back to Musharraf days? Who allowed such negative documentary about Pakistan?

    That's least of my worries actually. Things are bad and they should be highlighted. I think the documentary could have been a bit more unbiased. It showed Pakistan as some ultra religious society. But overall, whenever there is bad, we shouldn't be offended by it. Accept it, and work for a...

    Are we going back to Musharraf days? Who allowed such negative documentary about Pakistan?

    Wait a second. Did they actually put some part of what the press officer asked to remove from Captain Sher's interview?

    PM Imran Khan's WaPo OP-Ed: Pakistan is ready to be a partner for peace in Afghanistan, but we will not host U.S. bases

    Good to read this. So our stated policy is that we wont accept Taliban overrunning Kabul. And if they do, we'll be with other International powers to condemn them.

    Shahbaz Sharif is right in a point of view devaluing PKR from 130 to 155-168 had no impact on Export.

    I guess the problem with this argument is that Asad Umar had no option, we were short of dollar and to keep the exchange rate stable, we needed to inject more dollars in the market. You can argue that the way rupee was made to fall, was disastrous, I mean a lot of economists including out...

    Shortfall reaches 5,000MW as power outages hit Pakistan amid ongoing heatwave

    What hydro project do you think would have been able to overcome power shortage before a waiting period of at least a decade? Simple question: why is Government calling it power shortage if as you say, is a distribution issue?

    Shortfall reaches 5,000MW as power outages hit Pakistan amid ongoing heatwave

    Wasn't this Government accusing last Government of installing excess power, how is that we are facing a shortfall now if excess power was in the system? Sounds like bad summer planning.

    Breaking news: Senior journalist Hamid Mir apologized for defaming army generals

    The personal comments were uncalled for, but were historically correct. It shows that one of the top journalists of the country cannot stand the pressure from the people who cannot be named. Those who attacked Asad Toor have still not been apprehended or identified, even after the Interior...

    Arabs recall Pakistani pilots’ gallantry in 1967 war

    Nice. He did reassure me about a few things when I met him before the pandemic. I think I probably shared those on the forum.
