PPP pulled out Sindh card and ended the project.

Nope. My point is once one or two groups are no longer dominating the entire country and each group has its autonomy, can each province become successful or more efficient. Bengalis have proved it. KPK improved significantly under PTI, but progress is slower than hoped because Punjab dominated...

So East Pakistan was not as successful as Punjab? Last I checked, Bangladesh exports far outstrip entirety of Pakistan. I'm sure Bengalis are glad they are no longer a colony for Punjab. As for efficient development, that's false. Nawaz Sharif brings bankruptcy every time he governs, through...

His brother Shehbaz literally asked TTP to spare Punjab from attacks as if the rest of the country doesn't matter. PMLN blows much of the budget on Central Punjab. As long as Punjab is fine and well fed, Nawaz Sharif doesn't care what happens to the rest of the country. He would allow drone...

Born & bred to rule Pakistan. That's why Imran Khan empowering middle class was intolerable to the elites & establishment.

Selections, not elections, will be held. The establishment will select people to form the government.

But are the sales benefitting the economy? Or are the sales benefitting the pockets of a few military personnel? Also, why would you sell a billion dollars worth of weapons in exchange for a $3 billion loan? Shouldn't it be a $2 billion loan, with Pakistan receiving a billion in cash for weapon...

Did you see what happened when Imran Khan tried to use federal development funds to improve interior Sindh? Zardari tacitly unleashed Sindh separatists protests that burnt and sacked parts of Bahria town as a message to the establishment, "no one, including Imran Khan, is allowed to touch my...

Sindh (With PPP) Sindh (Without PPP)

Electricity theft in Pakistan is estimated to be above 500 billion PKR or above $1.6 billion USD. Who knows how much uncollected bills there are? Do I feel any sympathy for people there? Nope.

Chain of command means nothing to GHQ and CC when foreign powers want COAS dead. They will happily remove the COAS by any means. Chain of command only matters to GHQ when there is talk of removing a COAS that topples democratically elected governments or usurps power. Then we hear risks of...

Can you please share the strategy. 18th amendment has its problems with funding that can be corrected by forcing provinces to generate their own revenue, but allows self-governance for each province, which is essential post-1971. Otherwise, Punjab will control all of Pakistan.

Iranian ego is far stronger than their actual capabilities. The only thing Iran will do is embarrass itself.

Agreed. I've met some of these voters here in the US. They still love and would vote for Sharif family because they are from Punjab and think they were great administrators. I joke with my mother, if these people think Nawaz was so great and Punjab was so prosperous, what the hell are they...

Banana Republic of Faujistan. Since when have they been a court or parallel legal system that could indict people?

To understand what is going on, one must first understand the true nature of many of the Pakistani people. There is a proverb there, "na kaam karta hai na kaam karna deta hai" or "he does not do work nor does he let others get the job done". This is why I preach that it is going to take pure...

Revolution can happen only within the establishment itself. A group of like-minded individuals, within the establishment, must come together and act in order to save the country. Even if this means eliminating other factions of the establishment that are deemed dangerous to the country, or...

Kicking the can down the road until next government comes. That is the gameplan of staff at every hemorrhaging SOE.

These days, Iran does this to itself. Iran keeps interfering in neighboring countries and spreading fire. Even Iranians who leave Iran spread propaganda. Its neighbors and even its people hate the government run by religious crackpots. The only reason why they survive is because they built a...
