It all shrinks down to economics and always. Those afflicted by problems of hunger and familial murderous conflicts (civil-military tug of war in the country) do not have the luxury (resources or focus) to aspire for the stuff that actually matters. This country's redemption lies in economic...

1. Keep support in the heart. Not burn own country to the ground for it (against those who do not care for it). Burning is both physical on the streets and setting aflame the economy of Pakistan by choking national arteries and demanding an economically impoverished country to do what filthy...

I want to understand the line of reasoning that started from political agitiation, economic strife and culminated at an "Islamic" revolution. How does a lead to b here? So, Pakistani nationalism in PAKISTAN is antithetical to the idea of Pakistan? Is Pakistan the jageer of "Ummah"? Are we back...

It would not only be good for us but the entire world as well. The addition of consumers to the global economy would assist many economies.

The poor lad had a conscience. However, military discipline is such that this could not be let go. The upper echelons are a disgrace who should actually be doing these things rather than these young officers. Does anyone know that the brave and honorable cadres who were planning a coup after the...

Great to read this. Pakistan is also on the right track at least in this avenue. Tech will be the deliverance of our respective nations by 2030.

1. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. It was an IJI coup of the 2000s. 2. An impoverished country like Pakistan has the responsibility of uplifting the economic status of its people. The Arabs blessed with oil wealth by god could take these responsibilities. There is no need for us to...

You do not want the economy to be formalized/documented? :/? This depreciation would appear benign before the one that would be unleashed when exports collapse as our trading partners in the West close their shores or remove the preferential trade regimes they have afforded us. Let us think...

🤔 While its head honchos would be found ever willing to sell their mothers even for dollars. As I said, these lofty religious slogans are sweet on the ears as long as these are slogans, once the hard facts of economics manifest themselves in the shape of runaway inflation, these slogans would...

How to serve? By surrendering before fanatical mobs? What would the aftermath look like? Have we given it any thought? PKR was in freefall before Saudis loaned money. Imagine what would be the state of our economy when GSP plus state is taken and our exports see a sizeable reduction. How would...

I hail from Balochistan, and this culture of religious hypocrisy I witnessed in Punjab when I was studying there was at a different level. Watching mujras while chanting slogans of sir tann say juda sir tann say juda.

If that is the silent majority, then that tells about the fanatical state of the "silent" majority's mind. No wonder we get terrorist sympathizers and facilitators hiding beneath every rock we pick up in this country. TLP voting power. LOL What is their economic manifesto? Do they have folks...

Calm down. 1. He struggled, but in the end, did give in. It is part of historical record that how the 2011 jalsa was engineered by Gen Pasha. 2. As I have said above, what "agreement" and its implementation are we talking about, one whose ramifications bankrupt Pakistan, destroy the value of...

True, political maturity was lacking in PTI. IK wanted power by hook or crook, so he backed anyone agitating on the streets (or who was "made to" agitate by the ring leaders who controlled both him and other agitators). Now he has that power, but the same ploys are being used against him too...

The buck never stops with the religious fanatics. You give them an inch and they force you to cede a mile next time. Have we learned nothing from handing over the entire Malakand to TTP/TNSM? Where do you think GSP plus would go once you boot the French ambassador? With crashing exports, where...

I have seen think-tanker ltn. generals taking him on their panels as chief guests and promising to get him heard in the halls of NDU. Some of the things he says about changing the character of war have merit. However, he goes too far when he makes such sweeping statements.

Don't pay too much heed to this guy. He may even be planted to keep us content. One is reminded of that famous meme whenever s/he listens to him "This and this congratulating me for this and this, Me: who has never done this and this in his life."

You would see TLP next in line as well. Ideology is a means to an end for these groups. The end is political power. They don't give two figs about Islam. Islam has its utility for them until it buttresses their political agenda. These vermin would shun Islam and sit in the lap of Hindus or...

TTA's double game continues. The problem is that if we twist their arm, they too like TTP could go and sit in the lap of the Indians. All this Jihad and Islamism is a garb. In pragmatism, these JIhadis could even sell their mums.

This is news that we should be ashamed of. The need for loans to sustain ourselves is a matter of shame. National humiliation has gotten to a stage where securing multilateral and bilateral loans is dubbed as if quantum leaps in exports have been made. PS. this would again give Saudis leverage...
