The economic collapse will force the establishment to make some change. Whether it's technocrats or even Imran Khan coming back, something will have to give. It's clear money isn't coming from China or GCC. USSR fractured under economic pressure and ethnic & civil unrest despite having much...
MQM betrayed muhajirs by allying with Zardari to topple Imran Khan's government. PTI did more for Karachi in three years than anyone else did since 2008.
PTI did the following:
1. Started Bundal Island project until PPP played Sindh Card
2. Started a new city project on federal Karachi Port...
Neither Imran Khan nor senior leadership ordered attacks on GHQ or army. It was simply public blowback to the stupidity of the establishment for potentially harming the most popular leader.
If I were against Imran, I wouldn't have done anything retarded like trying to arrest or kill him. In...
What's the point of IMF loaning Pakistan money if it knows it's not going to be able to pay it back? PDM have proven to be incompetent. In a year, exports & remittances dropped many billions and the country is bankrupt. Even if IMF loans the money, Pakistan will go bankrupt again because it's...
Thank you. He got nothing out of dissolving assemblies except getting his workers jailed & tortured. There's no such thing as rule of law, principles, constitution in Pakistan. I've always said that Imran Khan mistakenly thinks he's ruling a European country where people are fair & follow law...
There is no question Imran Khan is to blame for many of his problems.
-Giving Bajwa the extension. This set the rot in establishment as Bajwa put his men
-Making Buzdar CM
-Not replacing politicized bureacrats & police
-Filing SJC reference against QFI despite knowing judiciary NEVER go against...
I would look at how badly PTI party members are beaten as a metric rather than jail time. Remember, some jails have excellent conditions for the "right" people.
Pakistanis are great at misleading their countrymen with false dreams & hopes. Gwadar was one such scam. Just like Gwadar, nothing will come out of this except fairy tales like the country has largest gold, copper reserves, etc.
You are talking like a congress member or senator is going to hold a grudge against Khan for claiming that the US removed him? Why would they care about his claims or even remember he said that when they are occupied with far more pressing issues facing the US? They have a duty to protect human...
The maximum the Chinese will do is roll over existing loans from China. They will not give $10 billion or even half of that and they certainly won't help Pakistan pay its loans. Pakistan has probably until late summer before money runs out and they will start digging into bank accounts.
People...
Expatriates lobbying on behalf of PTI is starting to pay off. First the drop in remittances, then the 65 members of Congress writing to Blinken, Congress members calls to Imran, UK Conservatives call to Imran, etc. The pressure is building. The western capitals can no longer ignore what's...
This is the right choice if true. Murad Saeed is a young to resonate with the youth, pashtun to resonate with KPK and even other marginalized ethnic groups, and independent. He has the energy, loyalty to Khan, and willpower.
I've always said Imran Khan, being 70+, needs to groom a successor. In...
Where was the constitution when votes for VoNC were openly for sale on television or when the SC ruled to serialize votes, but ECP flat out refused just like they did for EVM? Neither PDM nor their puppets in the judiciary or ECP were playing by the rules from day one.
The sun isn't setting on...
That seems like their plan, but like all of their plans since the last 70 years, it's doomed to fail. Their plan to replace PTI with PDM failed. Instead of economic improvement, the country has defaulted.
PDM have shown that aside from stopping imports, even those inputs critical for...
As if Indians lobbying against Pakistan in the west wasn't enough, these matric pass fools running the establishment want expatriates to lobby against them as well. When are they going to administer IQ tests for men reaching the top echelons of the army?
This going to have disastrous effects on...
This is what I've been warning for months. It's not just KPK threat of breaking away, Gilgit and AJK will follow. No one wants to go back to Purana Pakistan where Nawaz Sharif blows the federal budget on Lahore and central Punjab, while Zardari rules his serfs in Sindh with an iron fist.
The...
The same was said about Bhutto & Sharif family after each fallout with the establishment at that time and yet, here they are. The establishment as we now see, is just one man, the COAS. This is why this is a failed state. One man could break up or destroy the entire country. The good news is...
What's the point after many of the factories have already shut down because of import restrictions on raw material? The exchange rate was being overvalued until recently when they were forced to stop due to low reserves.
I disagree with Imran Khan on a lot of things. However, he has taken the establishment on after they toppled his government and has surprisingly gone further than any political leader before him. The establishment permanently nuked their reputation to end him, but this has only incensed the...
The exports have gone down and will drop even further as the factories shut down one by one. The painstaking work PTI did to bring historic high exports over three years was reversed quickly.
PMLN and Dar have always de-industrialized the country in their terms as overvalued currency made...
