    An Afghan Brigadier General has joined the Taliban today

    Their ranks are mostly assigned on the basis of who can pay more and earn more. Imagine a sarkari department in Sindh--thats your American trained ANA/ANP.

    Pakistan warns of dangers of using militias against Afghan Taliban

    Afghanistan needs Pakistan to survive. And Pakistan can't thrive without Afghanistan. Hope both populations realize this soon. There is no other solution-we can't keep playing puppet master forever or keep our border fenced forever. Things will boil over from Afghanistan in to Pakistan--be it...

    Moeed Pirzada is right: Pakistan's problem is education

    Its not just us in Pakistan--entire South Asia, Africa and Middle East suffers from this complex. Ruling elite in our regions has managed to keep alive the colonial tradition of "everything local is shit". So here in Pakistan we have brown sahibs in bureaucracy, military and Government. And they...

    Firing in Redzone Islamabad

    Nai bhai. Do char chittar marnay hain puls ne. Treatment complete hojani hai. Everyone in Pakistan has a culture of wielding guns. Walk in to any village in Punjab and everyone and their dog has an automatic weapon.

    Firing in Redzone Islamabad

    Not really--at least not anymore. Licenses are restricted and bullets are counted. That being said, a significant % of population is heavily armed already legally. Don't have exact numbers but going by the circle around me I'd say at least 70% rural households and minimum 40-50% urban households...

    Akbar Bugti’s widow lodges FIR against PM’s nephew

    "PM's nephew" is only meant to grab headlines. This man is a notorious lawyer who was involved in attack on that hospital in Lahore as per news. And from what I have heard IK has no link to him since he became PM.

    Seems like some crazy guy trying to get media attention. I hope LEAs are able to resolve this without any bloodshed.

    A tweet claimed Karachi's food is the best in Pakistan and Lahoris have a lot to say about this

    To each their own but for me Karachi foods are too spicy. Heard a lot of Student Biryani back in 2010 or so and tried it. Lumps of spices. Literal lumps. Never again. Now I am sure there are better places in Karachi so this is by no means a generalization.

    Horse patrols have been launched in Peshawar.

    But CCTVs and actual policing and justice doesn't get our brown sahibs on the TV.. Horse tranquilizers. You and the horse both.

    Pakistan received $60bn against exports, remittances in FY2020-21

    Stating the obvious here, and this is why the US is so protective of USD. Imagine a legislator elected from Swabi, Pakistan presenting a bill to block transactions of two companies in the US. This is what the US can do--kill any company anywhere on the planet through legislation. Another example...

    Pakistan received $60bn against exports, remittances in FY2020-21

    I think there is no shortage of policies, Government bodies and capacity in private sector. Focus should be on governance and implementation--judiciary and FBR need a massive overhaul and clean up. Otherwise our IT companies will keep their HQs in UAE/Ireland etc and bring peanuts back to...

    Indian HAL to train 6 Nigerian Army pilots for flying helicopters

    Win win for both countries. I think Indian trainers will learn just as much from the Nigerians. Both are equally good aviators though I would give the Nigerians an edge as they operate in difficult terrain.

    TikTok ban: Fawad says 'judicial activism' has cost Pakistan billions of dollars

    Dismantle this entire judicial system and start from scratch. Qazi (Chief Justice) should be under the Caliph (PM) in our system--people elect the PM and PM is the one who bears the brunt of injustice in society. Chief Justice in current system is not answerable to anyone--this needs to change.

    Can we drone strike in London? PM Imran Khan asks in NA

    Just watch desi liberals and Toon league brigade's behinds on fire after this. They'll be in more pain than actual Londoners after this statement. You can disagree with IK on a lot of things but the man speaks his mind. His question is very valid; if you can choose to obliterate an entire...

    US BASES IN PAKISTAN: TOP POLITICAL, MILITARY BRASS TO SIT TOGETHER ON JULY 01

    Topi drama to show Uncle Sam that hey we tried but these pesky civilian politicians are not budging. Please don't stop the dollars. Pretty please.

    Decision to arrest tax evaders, list of 1.5 crore people prepared

    If it were up to me then definitely yes. But seems like acquiring wealth and/or influence, legally or otherwise, earns you a lifetime exemption from taxation in our country. Everyone from truck drivers, lawyers, traders to ecommerce websites wants to live a tax free lifestyle.

    Decision to arrest tax evaders, list of 1.5 crore people prepared

    This is one of the areas where PTI's performance has been even worse than previous Governments. Forget small/medium traders, what exactly is stopping them from going after big name shopping stores, malls, restaurants, pharmacies etc? Just in Pindi/Isb you have Savour foods, Tehzeeb, D Watson...
