The problem is not the market side of it. What I am suggesting is actually standard practice prettt much everywhere in the world where they have markets and produce electricity. In Pakistan, the problem is that we have signed these horrible IPP agreements and they are based on expectation of...

For somethings, there are positive externalities that just make them a good business decision for the govt to do. In that case, fine. Things like internet give rise to public access to information which helps the govt. and the market. And improves the economy in general. Property taxes can be...

Yeah but you have to invest it said pylons and have the political capital to go through with punishing whoever is guilty. it shouldn’t happen at the level of making market manipulations. Set the market price. It should be the same for every single person. If someone is poor, the govt can give...

Capitalism is brutal but as a principle, it’s a good idea. If you are poor and can’t afford to pay for a lot of electricity, you ought not to consume that much. It’s harsh but it seems right, doesn’t it?

Bad idea- you encourage consumption this way. The best way to do this is to hand disco companies to private companies and let them figure out how to recover cost with a mixture of policy and required investment.

Dawn editors are being a bunch of hypocrites. They are the ones who cheerled the return of PDM in he first place. Fahad Husain became the advisor to PM.

But that is the same as saying that a Muslims that commits sins regularly and constantly becomes a kafir. No, he just becomes a sinner. As long as he accepts that thing as a sin, he stays a Muslim. Outside of the Khawarij, the other sects don’t accept that comitting sins makes you kafir

Under what rule? The Quran says marrying a pagan makes you a zaani (fornicator) not an apostate (kafir). Mind you, if you say that marrying a mushrik is a-okay, that might be a another thing after it has been made clear to you that the Quran has ruled on this already.

They need to privatize the rest of the distribution companies too. Will help some what

So patwari is a Gali but youthiya is a-ok?

Again your patwari brain is not able to understand words written. I write one thing- your bughz Imran makes you see something else. PTI had stabilized the economy. After they were removed overseas pulled out their investments and remittances and the rupee started to fall. Miftah let it fall...

This is your patwari myopicism that doesn’t let you understand the picture then. When he took over in 2017, Dar had already totally screwed up the economy. Only way out was to remove the rupee peg, and start correction. Ofc, he didn’t want to do complete correction so left the bulk of it for...

If these leftists really cared about woman empowerment, they would push for broad socio-economic development. It is a fact that as you do this, you get better outcomes from females.

18th amendment was passed fairly recently. What about before that? Btw, KPK was able to develop during PTI time thanks to 18th amendment. But they clearly need more time. Joining FATA into KPK is a good idea and long term it will have positive outcome. Balochistan is separate story. There...

What the heck sort of logic is this? I say you don’t have the counterfactual, you say it is the truth? If you leave an area undeveloped, then ofc, they will develop a culture that is associated with that. With education, civil engagement, things change. You think Punjab was any different...

The worst disease of all- the Prophet called Jahiliyya, literally, is this ethnic regional tribal mentality. It numbs a people to all logic, all rationale. And everyone in Pakistan is guilty of it.

People vote for PMLN because of ethnic, regional, tribal biradri thing. This vote bank is just temporarily suppressed- it has not disappeared yet. Having said that, the polls suggest a PTI sweep in Punjab at least this time around. OP is right. N league brought the country to this situation...

No a Muslim man can marry woman who are people of the book (Christians and Jews) and the woman do not have to convert. This is the overwhelming majority position. Please note that marrying a convert like IK did with Jemima is not controversial at all. All who find it controversial should go...

Miftah might be the one of the few N league folk who have a degree of (semi-)competence. He had handled the economy after the remittances fell post PTI removal and gotten IMF program - yes rupee went from 175 to 225 but he had stabilized it and kept it floating on the market. Unlike Dar- 225...

All you all claiming Baloch and Pashtun culture is barbaric don’t have the counter factual. In a real country, the state would provide development and level the playing field. It would provide socio economic development to these regions. Not take their resources and then blame them for...
