    Government brings in Quran in defence of its case against Justice Isa

    Pakistan Federal Budget FY 2020-21: Analysis and Discussion Thread

    Since we are talking Defence Budget, no sane Pakistani would deny the need to spend money for the Defence and it is clear that it'll always be more than health and education, but we can always question where the money is being spent on Defence. Auditor General's office is mostly restricted to...

    Forgotten Hero of 1971 - Tajjamul Hussain Malik

    A brave soldier, and a war hero. It's shameful that he had to spent almost a decade in jail during Zia's rule, after he had been dismissed from service on false charge of a coup during Bhutto's government, which Zia himself was plotting. Sometimes I wish that Malik's plan of assassinating Zia...

    Retired Pakistan Army officer narrates a COIN Op he led in Mohmand

    I was trying to pinpoint the operation he quoted but I think it'd take some deeper digging as this was 2011. But cannot dispute the guy, he's not an anonymous account, people know him.

    Featured CoronaVirus in Pakistan - Updates & Discussion

    This is what happens when you miss the whole point. Government needs to enforce a lockdown, so people like me, who are forced to go out and people like them who are out for fun, are FORCED to stay home.

    I can't name anyone specific, but PDF needs some levelheaded mods from liberal side. There's too much balance going towards the religious and nationalistic side here that the voice of dissent is silenced. You can't ask somebody to be totally neutral, but you can make your team neutral by having...

    Featured CoronaVirus in Pakistan - Updates & Discussion

    First, I didn't blame anyone but the Prime Minister for not enforcing a lockdown. Secondly, I was in my car, my personal space, didn't interact with anyone, so the comparison is stupid. Some of us don't have the liberty to 'work from home', even on a public holiday.
