Sindh seems to be battered beyond any near term respite. Sad to see people cry after having lost everything in a matter of days :(

Pakistan is not the only country with corrupt politicians. Almost all developing countries have a similar story. Your accusation about my intentions are unsubstantiated. I will not try to change your mind there because Internet is a free place and we are all entitled to our biases. But I'm...

I think EU and US will give Pakistan some trade concessions to restore its economy :cheers:

Only a fine line separates neo liberalism and libertarianism in terms of how much government involvement they tolerate to influence the economy. From his interviews, I see that Miftah leans towards libertarianism. But while functioning within a government, he has to listen to his boss - the...

I can only guess that PDM wanted to not let PTI game the appointment of CAOS :undecided: Miftah has only been in the office for 4 months now. He was saying that Imran's fuel subsidies must go from day one of taking the office. His party did not let him because of Imran threatening to stir more...

Very in depth analysis. You can be a cop :super:

Those tattoos are also gangster like no? Must be a khalistan guy. Plenty of support for that movement in Canada, although I've not seen such violent people. :dirol:

Just saw the full video on YouTube. The fellow has a wad of $100 bills in pocket that he is thrilled to show off. Must be in some gang. Mama raised him well :laugh:

Funny video. The abuser clearly has mental issues. Hopefully the retard gets put in an asylum for treatment. Regular jail will only make him worse. I'm curious about what set him off that tirade though 🤔

The money is actually from US Government. It does not include NGO or private donations.

Canada 🇨🇦 announces $5 million in funding for humanitarian assistance in response to flooding in Pakistan https://www.canada.ca/en/global-affairs/news/2022/08/canada-announces-5-million-in-funding-for-humanitarian-assistance-in-response-to-flooding-in-pakistan.html

Did Imran express any opinion about allowing trade (of essential goods) with India to help reduce the impact of this shortage? :undecided:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/toronto-organizations-help-pakistan-1.6568717 Canadian NGO is asking for $50 million federal aid from Canada to Pakistan :cheers:

By OCP, you mean Overseas Pakistanis? I don't think that your numbers add up. 1) Pakistani remittances are already higher than that for most countries on per capita terms and % of GDP. The general trend is that remittances will increase when PKR drops in value to take advantage of the lag time...

Long Live India - Bangladesh friendship! :cheers:

Actually, I've been checking Miftah's twitter every now and then in recent times. You can blame the spirited discussion on this forum for my curiosity about what Miftah has to say on related topics. This particular tweet of Maryam came as some suggested tweet below comments. It was by...

Pakistan went to near default because Imran's fuel subsidy violated Pakistan's agreement with IMF. Without IMF program, Pakistan would not be allowed to roll over its other debt that was to be returned this year. The money ( $1 billion ) on its own is not the real importance of IMF program. It...

That is an important war for American geopolitical interest. However, this contribution is true altruism. You see that no other country will match American aid to Pakistan in this time of need. In 2010, US contributed $150 million to Pakistan in multiple tranches. It was the largest...

As always, the Americans are most generous in helping people around the world during times of natural calamity. :cheers:

I've been reading a few interviews from Miftah. He is a libertarian from what I see. I like this fella's social and economic policy outlook and that is why I post in this thread. I don't mean for anything more than that.
