Correct. Look at how they reacted after the Dasu attack and how we tried to cover up by calling it a cylinder blast and later had to eat our words when the Chinese took us on by making a tough statement and telling us they would send an investigative team of their own. Recently, we had to pay...

I did not cite this figure, I was merely referring to the duration cited by @The Eagle. Do you have eyes? Bother using those to read for a change, maybe?

"wE tOoK 20 oF tHeM iN 72 hOuRs." What about the intelligence failure that could not predict and provide actionable intelligence to the security apparatus to neutralize the threat when it was in its nascent stages? A coordinated, large-scale, and complex (use of VBIED to blast the gates of HQ...

I know, but I would still suspend judgment till the end of this year. We have seen how long pipelines stretch in Pakistan and become pipedreams. I am just immensely skeptical when it comes to these matters.

Don't you dare talk about soldier wellbeing and protection, Zarvan. Don't you know how little their lives are worth? Money is important, the supply of trained soldiers is inexhaustible where shahadat manjan rather than focusing ONLY on killing the enemy and emerging victorious on the battlefield...

I am losing hope because no matter how much we fall, each point we think is going to be a tipping point proves to be a mirage. The military high command has completely given up on playing full-on offense in the sub-conventional realm. There is simply no momentum at all in the actions in IoJK...

Good news but only the first drop of rain. I am not wrong in stating what I said in my first comment.

nothing but incoherent babble mainly in that video but one needs objectivity, not unflinching devotion to realize that. I feel we are detracting from the subject matter of the post.

I know about Allama Iqbal SEZ. it was being constructed when I was a student in Fsd way back during 2012-2013. I know that it has already been operationalized. The only SEZ that has been operationalized yet. The land price escalation you referred to is an extremely troubling development. This...

In don't watch Pakistani dramas but damn beauty standards have really fallen in the Pakistani drama industry. Actors and actresses were dope during the 90s.

Covert operations of ISI in that period were a sight worth seeing (understandable considering the type of funding that was going into the ISI; external as well as internal i.e. ISI's own revenue stream), however, on the conventional front, we lost Siachin and did not respond to that at time or...

Automobile policy was the work of the last govt. They did not get time to reap its "fruits". I am not talking about low parts localization in this govt. This has been a problem plaguing the auto sector for years. it is not going to change in these 3 or 5 years (no policy incentive/pressure to...

lol okay. No comment under this thread was as out of touch, but ok.

Ask away all you want, but no one is going to invest a penny until you establish SEZs in a plug-and-play mode. Nobody is to come to make these SEZs for you, operationalize them, organize them under a single body/authority, link these with critical infrastructure/lines of communication, market...

Would be an interesting exercise to note the source of this discrepancy. Pakistanis despite living for centuries with gangetics use a different counting system.

So, Gwadar has no significance for the Chinese? The western alignment of CPEC (shortest land route from Kashghar to Gwadar) has no significance to the Chinese? I think your argument is flawed. Does Iran care about Chinese interests in Pakistan? it undermines these so its own port infrastructure...

You are stuck in the past. The Iran of Shah was a secular state and a friend to Pakistan (one of the first countries to have recognized Pakistan after independence). The Iran of Ayatollahs is an ideological Islamist state that aims to export its influence and ideology outside its borders. You...

My maternal side dwelled in East Punjab. The paternal side has been in Balochistan since 1900.

@HAIDER, I was serious. What you say about laborers is true. Our state has not invested in the quality of human resources it exports to GCC. However, the white color Pakistani workers in the GCC were mostly at par with if not better than the Indians. I came across many mediocre Indians in my...

As I said elsewhere, fortune/fate has more to do with these developments than the competence of the government. Covid-19 froze the production of our competitors in the area we are reasonable producers/exporters i.e. textiles. In textiles (I am a textile engineer myself), a customer seldom leaves...
