"Agar khata hai toh lagata bhi hai" is the opinion of the masses. They have voted for their Quaid before and will do so again. If he comes back to Pakistan, expect rose petals showering his motorcade and sweets being distributed through the streets. @ziaulislam

Please calm down people. Gwadar should welcome all investment. Pakistan should welcome US investment. That would also mean no US support for Baloch separatists as they would threaten that investment. Sadly, I think no US investment will come, especially to Gwadar. The ambassador's visit is...

Young Indian Muslim men should strengthen their bodies and learn martial arts to defend themselves from mobs. Stop crying for help which will never come.

Muslim men in India need to put on a bit of muscle and start learning some effective martial arts to defend themselves. Crying on Twitter to invoke sympathy is useless. When India's hindu majority are already resolved on eliminating muslims, who are they looking to for sympathy?

There are probably men in Pakistan who will take their pants off for that guy if it meant getting a US visa. Pakistanis sell themselves and others pretty cheap. Decades of foreign powers controlling Pakistan through the Pakistan Army is proof of that.

Pakistan's foreign policy has always been to blindly obey foreign powers at the expense of its own people and sovereignty to gain their respect, only for the same foreign powers to disrespect Pakistan even further.

The slowdown in military activity already was happening before the bailout. Bajwa was infatuated with the idea of peace with India. Some say Imran Khan opposing that was one of the many things that sent Bajwa over the edge. However, if the IMF had mandated reduction, we would have known like we...

Hopefully not. I'm certain those running Pakistan don't care as they might be getting incentives or are not smart enough to fully understand the long-term economic implications of this agreement. Just like when they didn't care when making the Reko Diq deal and other contracts that screwed...

The US will bail out Pakistan through the IMF as it did this time. Yet why weren't conditions requiring a reduction in defense budget or nuclear weapons production forced upon Pakistan whereas Sri Lanka had to reduce the size of its military? The reason is simple, the US wants Pakistan to...

FTA with China was an economic disaster for Pakistan. Pakistan exports fruits, nuts, and maybe meat to China. Everything else they don't need. FTA with UAE will be bad too. It's going to drive up imports and worsen CAD. It will also enable Indian goods to enter Pakistan FTA are for two...

While the future of Pakistan is grim, I still find a good laugh at the thought that an entire country's economic future, it's social fabric, the cohesion between its ethnic groups and the chaos that would ensue if not preserved, everything is thrown aside just because the ego of one man. And...

Agree with what you are saying. It has to be civilian led. However, FATA was only recently integrated with KPK, which has struggled to mainstream the area quickly enough and with a limited budget. It needs a bit more time & money. Recall Imran Khan speeches on 3G phone network in ex-FATA. Also...

Relocation had already happened in Balochistan. Pashtuns might outnumber Balochis living in Balochistan. No need to aggravate situation. To placate Balochistan, the following steps can be taken by Pakistan government: 1. Build cost-effective apartment developments near industrial centers in...

There was an era of peace after Raheel Sharif and one of the largest border fences had been constructed since that time. How the hell do they still have these problems after India has left the western border and you fenced almost all of it? Either there is incompetence in the establishment or...

No one will buy PIA with its astronomical debts and judges that will stop you from firing ghost employees. It's better for it to file bankruptcy and shutdown after assets are sold for cash. Airport rights, routes, facilities can be leased to Emirates or highest bidder, after being transferred to...

The problem is that you can completely turn around PIA, purchase brand new fuel efficient aircraft, add more routine flights, improve service quality 200%, reduce staff, fix all its problems, make it way more profitable. However, the massive debts will still be there and it will be a LONG time...

Privatization always comes up as a strategy to tackle the issue, but never happens. It's just a delay tactic to wait out the government in power. The only solution is to dissolve PIA completely and sell its aircraft. This way, the government won't be hemorrhaging anymore money operating the...

@Signalian So can the guarantor of finance help out here?

The only revolution that can come into this country, is through the army itself. Before people shoot this down with arguments of mutiny in army being dangerous precedent, explain how removing democratically elected governments is any better? How is Pakistan better than the banana republics in...

People will kill their children, even set themselves on fire, but they won't ever dare to attack their rulers. It's like Pakistanis are genetically designed to be slaves. No one has even bothered finding Bilawal Zardari in Karachi and punching his face. No one has even bothered punching Nawaz...
