The problem is that is incident will now be blamed on IK. All TV channels and govt officials will peddle the narrative that IK ruined US-Pak relations.

Mohataram He still has significant support. Dont know if it will go with him on Nov 29th since Pakistani culture is worshipping the rising sun. Had a chat with some of his 'supporters' and they blamed everything on IK. 'They' claimed IK was sabotaging all efforts of reconciliation with...

Thanks for replying. Ayub Khan is no angel. Interesting fact - he dismissed Gen Azam Khan as he was very popular in E. Pak just so he cannot challenge him. So, Pakistani leadership is inherently petty and greedy. Point is that establishment during Ayub Khan's regime was more economically...

Mohtaram Bottom line is the state is weak and as Moeed Pirzada says that Pakistani civil military bureaucracy does not have the capacity to make decisions based on sound analysis. They go by short term goals like modern weapon supplies and aid. Every war has a price. After soviets left, no...

True. Ayub Khan despite his serious maltreatment with Fatima Jinnah and East Pakistan was still laser focused on critical economic infrastructure. In 1960, Pakistan became the 2nd most industrialized nation in asia after Japan. He directly controlled the govt and had no puppet PMs to take the...

This seems be a fall out of the failure of peace talks. https://tribune.com.pk/story/2368852/taliban-brokered-ttp-talks-end-in-deadlock https://www.scmp.com/news/asia/south-asia/article/3174589/pakistan-warns-afghanistan-not-shelter-militants-death-toll

And nobody should trust them. Typical political insurgency operation underway against KP govt. You will see them more active against PTI and nothing against PPP, PML-N and great maulana. In an armed insurgency, target is attacked from multiple groups who play hide and seek or shoot and...

They have been given a task to destabilize KP. Why no provocative rallies in Islamabad? Nothing on indian bjps provocative remarks, nothing on Shahbaz's meeting with Macron. Why? Those using them are using a very very sacred name for a dirty trick.

According to them IK also created Alqaeda and TTP and sheltered OBL in Abbottabad. IK is also responsible for civil war after soviets left afghanistan. IK also refused to disarm mujahideen after the soviets left. IK is also responsible for massive smuggling at the Afghan Pak border. Peshawar...

Sadly, I have to agree. If you hear people going to incubators for startups majority of them will tell you how corrupt illiterate uncles in bureaucracy treat their ideas. One told me that he was asked to submit his request letter to NBP with a recommendation letter from a MPA just for inquiry by...

Mohtaram The message is to PTI not TTP, and others. In Mr. Bs assessment PTI is a destabilizing agent while TTP is not. Reminds me of an old interview of Sarfraz Bugti in which he said that in Pakistan traitors are always rewarded and treated with respect by the state itself. If we look...

They are their supporters see them as a Royal family of Lahore who have the right to rule Pakistan or at least Punjab as they seem fit.

Translation is that the army will be used against the people if IK brings long march to islamabad.

Pakistan's decline began with the demise of Ayub Khan's regime. Focus shifted from economic to strategic.

mohatarm Raheel Shareef actually recommended former Multan corps commander ishfaq nadeem. Gen nadeem was known to be not too much interested in politics. His mistake was he had no relation with royal sharif family while bajwas father in law had business relations with sharifs. Im no fan of...

We must face facts. All these characters introduced post Ayub Khan wanted to retain power and for that they needed money hence the corrupt dynastic politics. Even this is acceptable if they really had brought some reforms in the country which they didnt. We might blame Ayub Khan for numerous...

Interestingly, when Zia dismissed his own appointed Junejo and accused him of not implementing Islam, he retained Nawaz Sharif as CM Punjab as if Nawaz Sharif was implementing Islam perfectly. Another interesting fact that just in 4 years Nawaz Sharif became CM Punjab. Amazing. Bottom line...

Moeed Pirzada in his view explains reasons of regime change in Pak and a major goal of US policy makers vis a vis South Asia.

Actually, it was Nawaz Sharif and PML-N that is at the fore front of peace with india. They want to do business with them and are supported by Mian Mansha in their endeavor. Nawaz Sharif's contacts with indian businessmen like Jindal are very well known. Even now Mariyum Nawaz's leaked audio...

Pindi is desperate. Dar will carry out extensive privitization with full support from Mil establishment. Target is one and only to atleast damage IKs chances of coming to power.
