Honorable Joe Shearer, My sincere thanks for your very incisive analysis of the future of armed services. I would not dare to argue with military professionals on military matters. I would instead seek your indulgence to share my thoughts about the shape of the armed services of the latter...

I am not a military professional hence my comments may appear to be amateurish and too bookish to the military professionals. However for whatever its worth, here is what comes to my mind. Von Clausewitz, the famous Austrian military philosopher & a veteran of the Napoleonic wars had defined...

Sir, For your kind info, there is a formal procedure for the appointment of judges in Pakistan. Quote This comment pertains to judicial appointments in Pakistan. It explains how the traditional or pre-18th Amendment process of appointing judges gave the judiciary clear dominance over...

Hon Sir, Undoubtedly C390 is an excellent cargo plane. It is faster and more economic than the C-130 models currently in the PAF. However, did you consider its cost? C390 unit cost was $50-million in 2016 dollars. (https://www.aircraftcompare.com/aircraft/embraer-kc-390/). Once you add on...

I had not heard of Sister Ruth Lewis before her sad demise, but what I heard from the media makes her out to be a kind & compassionate human being. I hold everyone with the milk of human kindness in high regard and worthy of respect. May she rest in peace.

There are so many comments on my post that I have decided to reply to all the honorable members’ queries in one go. Chahbahar, like Gwadar, is a very old port. Since this is the only port of Iran outside of the Hormuz Straits, the Shah of Iran started its development in 1970 and established a...

The terms used here are primarily meant for the use of Oil Exploration/Production staff and not for the laymen. I have a fairly good idea of what these terms mean. In simple English; the announcement says that Mari Petroleum Company has found gas in two geological formations SUL (Sui Upper Lime...

All these are new developments due to the changing political landscape of the region. None of these are due to any diplomatic efforts on the part of Pakistan. In my humble opinion, all events /developments/paradigm changes that are beyond the control of the affected parties should not be the...

For the record, exploration for oil & gas has been going on in the KPK region for at least 20 years. There have been quite a few discoveries albeit each one small in size. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa–The New Geological Frontier for Oil, Natural Gas, and LPG: by RAZIUDDIN (RAZI) (CEO KPOGCL) "Today it...

I have visited the Hagia Sophia thrice and each time marveled at its magnificence. The church built by the emperor Justinian was completed in 537 AD and for almost one thousand years (until the Basilica of Rome was completed in 1506) Hagia Sophia was the greatest church in the Christendom. I...

Honorable Sir, What has Pakistan gained thus far as a consequence of the denial of the Afghan Transit Trade through Wagah? Nothing, except the wrath of the Afghans and a deepening resentment of India which borders on outright hostility. In my humble opinion, Trade not only brings peace but...
