So power generated on a cheaper and local fuel is more expensive than power generated using an expensive imported fuel. Proving the point once again that all state run enterprises are bleeding tumors on the economy. Somehow gas running through SSGC, SNGPL networks emerges 23% more expensive on...

They still have a long, long way to go before doing these press conferences. Try sending an email to any of email addresses mentioned on their site and your email bounces back. Service delivery needs to be improved a LOT.

Difference this time is that private hospitals are also included in the "network". Its basically like NHS i.e. a collective health insurance. Please do look it up and I genuinely hope it clears up your doubts. If you are a person with sound financial means then you wouldn't understand what a...

What charity? Tax money will support this healthcare scheme. That's how it is supposed to work--taxes paid by the people put to use for welfare of people. Wow. Brother, its certainly not that people don't know that IK is doing good. From what I have seen on social media and PDF--there are...

Not just Mariam. All the tax chors including retailers, traders, sarkari afsaraan will explode. I shudder thinking about the shit storm of propaganda that will be seen against IK. Basically you are talking about killing corruption.

Grow up. This is one of those pieces you'll read in a few years and do a facepalm. Delete it now and save yourself the embarrassment. Fall of Dhaka was a failure of policy, institutions and the people. The best "revenge" we can have is making sure people left in the federation are not left...

This "we don't accept cards" thing is such a scam. Educated middle class needs to wake up and take this up as an issue like a social movement. Boycott these thieves and I am sure within days all of these will get in line.

PKR 1Million fine is a joke. Don't know much about Metro shoes but pick any branch of Tehzeeb and I am sure they sell more than 1Million within ONE busy evening or lunch time. Fine should be around 1 Billion on these tax chors. People need to be educated that these big retailers, traders etc are...

Capacity building in FIA, cleaning it up etc are smaller challenges. Getting the ISI to agree to let go of domestic security is a much bigger challenge.

Good question. All the sugar mills are owned by politicians who make policies in parliament. Remember, these are not the normal small sized farmers who actually grow sugar cane. These are big industrialists like Nawaz Sharif, Zardari etc. So they made a very sweat deal for themselves; they buy...

Yea I don't think anyone would want to settle here just yet.

That's what caught my attention-- I don't recall seeing PM IK or anyother leader's security carrying weapons openly. You can find Pakistanis that can match any country and/or ethnic group's looks--from African to Northern European and from Mexican to Mongol :)

This uploaded picture isn't very clear. The guy has a Pakistan flag badge.

Any idea how PM IK's security is managed on foreign trips? Curious after seeing these pictures on media. What is the diplomatic protocol here? Do host countries allow foreign dignitaries to bring in their own security? Masha'Allah. فی امان اﷲ

Blame falls on those in power at that time, as Irfan Baloch mentioned in a post above, and perhaps those in power now. A single statement from ISPR or MOFA should have helped Pakistan's cause. There is no way Pakistan was not part of this game. And I am guessing there can be two reasons for...

Good luck to Iraq and its people. They have suffered enough and the entire ummah is to be blamed for their misery. Its only our internal politics and delusional leaders that allowed foreigners to invade and destroy Muslim lands. Pakistanis have lots of love for our Muslim brethren and...

Pakistan ranks 120 out of 128 on rule of law and justice. The poor state of our judiciary is know to everyone and anyone who has had the chance to interact with this system. Its plain and simple a system of zulm. The sadder part is that ask any common man in Pakistan and they'll quickly blame...

So basically cost to end consumers will go up? My understanding is that bill paying customers are currently not only paying for their own consumption but also for those stealing electricity, system inefficiencies, loopholes like capacity charges as well as general corruption all around. I am...

What implications these might be?

This is the only solution. If we really have a monopoly on production then just ban all exports and let competent and capable companies like Shan and National market it. You can't blame Indians or Koreans here. Its our own fault like with all mining activities be it copper, marble or salt...
