COVID Blessing for Pakistan's economy

[BATMAN]

I have stated this many times in past that if intention is to fix Pakistan's economy, first step should be to stop money laundering /smuggling of Iranian oil.

Since govt. did nothing to check pockets of people traveling out of Pakistan, especially land routes, where not even bags are checked and some case not even passports are stamped. There COVID has brought an end to those $ carriers.

However, as per my reports money laundering through Hundi/Hawal is on peak.

Still the partial closure of money laundering, plus the charity payments from over seas Pakistanis with start of month Ramadan, has raised Pakistan's currency value during the lock down period in Pakistan.

So at least for economy COVID came as blessing.

If borders remain closed for couple of more months, Pakistani currency will continue to crawl upwards against $.

I dont think so smuggled iranian oil plays that big role. Its not like much, the quality is not that good. Money laundering though plays a big role.

Our politicians are too cowardly to finish IP pipeline which is an even bigger problem

If it was up to you.. You'd proudly engulf the entire nation in despair, just so you could destroy 1 Iranian check-post and consider it a 'victory'. Your obsession with Iran seems to have no bounds; I'm not saying their saints, but calling Covid 19 a blessing, whilst it's affecting not only 10's of millions of Pakistanis' livelihoods.. it will also potentially have heavy fatalities and as for the economy, no country will leave unscathed.. seriously get your head out of the Arabian desert for once, and start acting like a proper Pakistani.

It does. Almost all balochistan use it and the bad part is that it is tolerated by the provincial government.

Iranian support of Indian RAW Terrorism from their soil to Balochistan is a bigger problem.... In my opinion.

My friend works in karachi fishery. He told me that irani diesel is still coming because navy officers and coast guard are getting paid heavily per ship.

I just wanted to highlight, smuggling from India & Iran is totally protected by high ranking officials in Pakistan bureaucracy and security apparatus, who work more freely during democratic regimes, while as a society we are totally brain washed to accept smuggled goods from Iran and India.

Iranian oil smuggling was big thing during Zardari rule, it was not only oil but also the other petroleum products like bitumen for roads construction. I also agree, that oil smuggling today is fraction of what it used to be, and it's sales are not country wide, as it used to be few years ago, but still parts of Balochistan still use Iranian oil.
Scary part is that the country wide mafia, who used to distribute Iranian oil in every nook of Pakistan fearlessly, is still there and this mafia will do all to ensure delay in fencing of Iran border.

Similarly on other side, it's India from where Pakistan have smuggled verity of products, medicines, chemicals, cosmetics, spare parts and sold openly, without any objection from state.
Smuggling from India is so much state sponsored that much of commercials are Indian made and are played on state tv.

Bottom line is Pakistan is a country, which is being toyed by union of Indian and Iran.

No one in Pakistan dare to ask, where are the annual $22billion remittances, and i can tell you at least $10billion is lost to Hundi Hawala, which is another way of money laundering, while Khalifa of Pakistan is doing nothing to stop any form of money laundering and quite clearly none of the opposition party is willing to point out at it, as they are the benificiaries as well!
I have friends sitting all across the globe, who either use Hawala /Hundi or know the people who use this channel, simply because there's no other alternative provided by state of Pakistan as it was provided by govt. of General Pervez Musharraf.

It does. Almost all balochistan use it and the bad part is that it is tolerated by the provincial government.

Bro... during Zardari rule, every time we went to buy tanker of bitumen, we were offered to buy Iranian bitumen by the mafia present around the refinery, even more dangerous was that this business was so deep settled that even if you decide to buy Pakistani bitumen, they will deliver you Iranian bitumen, with papers from Attock oil refinery, chances are it will be a mix of Iranian bitumen and Pakistani bitumen.
Imagine, if this business was going on at doors of attock oil refinery, than no wonder Iranians have reach to the parking lot of our AWACS etc. and to our defense information, which might be useful for Indians.

My friend works in karachi fishery. He told me that irani diesel is still coming because navy officers and coast guard are getting paid heavily per ship.

Explains much.. why ill fated patrols at Iran border become victims to technically un explainable IED attacks and why some media houses waste no time mislead public on such cases, by pointing fingers at Saudi Arabia or UAE for example.

Blaming people without evidence is hall mark of IRGC puppies in Pakistan, and we all understand it's your holy duty and this is why all the smuggling and money laundering exist, which is hurting Pakistan and Pakistanis badly, yet all you care about is check posts of an internationally designated terror organization!
If Pakistani politicians were Pakistani nationalists, they would have stopped people travelling to /from Iran back at least starting from February 2019, but they rather sacrifice all of Pakistan to serve the holy men of Qum.

I mentioned economic blessings... humanitarian crisis was self imposed by the current regime.
Economic blessings in sense that we receive foreign aid, charity and sudden end to $ carriers.

As far COVID death toll is concerned, i trust the figures and it's saddening part, but if we look at broader picture the over all death rate is decreased, in other words the COVID deaths score is neutralized by the reduction in other form of deaths.

Iranian support of Indian RAW Terrorism from their soil to Balochistan is a bigger problem.... In my opinion.

In that direction, only solution is to engage India in broader terms.... once Indian is no more, no other regional state would dare to host any anti Pakistan elements.
27th was God given opportunity... wasted, but it helped us to identify the stooges within our national fabric.
