Don't project your own lack of intellect on ALL Pakistanis. I have lived in the gulf as well and I do not share your insecurities. Most Indians were average and at most at par with Pakistanis. Invest in honing your skills rather than indulging in self-pity. You can grow as a human being if you...
Jundallah used to kill a dozen IRGC personnel routinely in Seestan. It might be time to rekindle relations with these elements and direct their energies towards Chahbahar in general and communication routes moving to and from that port city in particular. If CPEC's Western alignment would not be...
This is a serious strategic concern. You have here a country that is hosting elements hostile to you. That is hosting intelligence assets of your mortal foe. That has Pakistani Shia fanatics on its payroll who snoop for it on Pakistani military installations. That has had its eye on Gwadar since...
Pivot towards geoeconomics is a pipedream with nearly 50% of the country having no law and order. Perhaps a jolt would be given once these elements spread violence to large cities of Punjab. However, I am not completely sure that would happen, as their agenda is to prevent China from becoming a...
With the backing of a superpower and at the back of Afghans. Regardless, we lost a huge piece of territory that was more accessible to us than the Indians under him. Mixed record, in short. Anyways, let's not go on tangents.
Listen to this smug SOB. The road to Gwadar is not secure. We have security. Advising China to use Chahbahar too. Also, do note who he is speaking with. ANI is the veritable arm of Indian intelligence.
Elite is clueless? I would posit that not only the elite but the masses have been kept clueless/ignorant to incompetence. Asif Ghafoor's "musbat reporting" directive for the broadcast media is persisting. Nobody even opens their beak without ISPR's express permission. Everyone on Twitter knew...
Iran is much of a friend to Pakistan as Afghanistan was under Karzai and Ghani. One of the troubles with Pakistan is that religion plays a key role in people's lives. Their religious identities trump loyalty towards the state. Due to that lobbies exist in this country who are ever willing to...
I have asked this question on this forum and elsewhere repeatedly, why is Chahbahar not burning? It is a well-known fact that Iran is hosting BLF militants and their leadership (not to say they do not have a mass presence in Balochistan too). Indian presence in Iran much like Afghanistan in...
Not only this but a coordinated attack in Hub as well at the same time. Let's bury the past and move on yielding result after result. This is a serious escalation in the Balochistan militancy scene. The public has no clue what is happening in tribal and adjoining settled districts of KP and...
Industrialists would only go for large-scale expansion once they have the policy in hand that promises some consistency for long periods. If quick-paced growth in exports that is of any consequence is desired policy has to be announced. Right now, these are ad-hoc benefits that are being given...
Miftah was responsible for the printing and low interest rate at the same time escalading the already deteriorating situation. He did nothing or even remotely cared about about putting in place the strict fiscal and monetary constraints that were needed but further opened the flood gates...
The imbalances have become more critical. A country that once used to export its surplus agricultural produce now has a food import bill of 8 billion USD a year. As far as energy imports are concerned, gas reserves were to exhaust one day. The power mix is being changed which has reduced the...
So you actually believe that power shortage was created the day the Zardari govt took office? Interesting. I have no love lost for PPP but Iftekhar Choudary was striking down their efforts to install capacity right and left. You seem to have been quite young back then to remember all this.
