The real story as stated in an article by Irshad Bhatti is: جعلی پائلٹوں کو گراؤنڈ کرتے کرتے پی آئی اے کو ہی گراؤنڈ کر دیا، جو کام غیر نہ کر سکے وہ اپنوں نے کر دیا۔ 24جون، قومی اسمبلی، کراچی طیارہ حادثے کی تحقیقاتی رپورٹ پیش کرتے غلام سرور خان نے یہ کہہ کر دھماکا کر دیا کہ 860پائلٹوں میں سے...

Thanks for asking me. IMHO, any change in gov't should only be thru the parliamentary 'No Confidence' motion. Hence I regret my inability to agree with your proposal. Sorry.

Most members know that I am a liberal, anti-mullah & anti-extremist. I am also proud to be as much free of bias against non-Muslims as is possible for a Muslim. I have no problem with PTI Gov't paying for the construction of a Hindu temple. I do however question the need of building a temple...

In my humble opinion, the main problem with K-8 is Speed. Ideally, you need a trans-sonic or supersonic aircraft for a "Lead-in" fighter trainer. Often an advanced trainer able to fly at least at 1000 Km per hour if not more; K-8 at max 800 Km/H top speed is too slow. A more powerful engine may...

When one thinks of a ‘Tough ‘substance, it is implied that item/thing or the object is strong enough to withstand a lot of pressure/force and also rugged enough to survive rough use for a long time. Hence in my view, a tough person, in addition to the physical strength and ability to take the...

We can debate about handling or mishandling of the PIA pilots affair till kingdom come, it would make no difference to the plight of Pakistani pilots & aviation personnel who could lose their job with the foreign airline as a result. The whole Pakistani nation has been shamed, something that...

Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics is a quote most probably by Sir Charles Dike sometimes in the 1890s. This refers to the misuse of statistics to support/ prove your point of view; akin to calling a glass half empty or half full in accordance with the situation. All the misapplications...

Hon Sir, My info only comes from the newspaper articles, thus it is bound to include personal bias of the writer. You are obviously more knowledgable in Pakistan Tax matter than me and I thank you for the detailed analysis.

Nowhere did I mention this data was for 2019-2020. I compared the two consecutive years because Pakistan's fiscal year is from July - June. PTI took over in August 2018; therefore they were in power for 11 months of the 2018-2019 fiscal year. The proper comparison should always be from the...

Sorry Sir, According to the official "2018-2019 Year Book of the Ministry of Finance yearbook, There was a 0.4% negative growth in Tax collection. Quote FBR Revenue Collection vis-à-vis Target FBR has collected Rs. 3,828.5 billion during FY 2018-19 against Rs. 3,843.8 billion during FY...

Honorable Morpheus, You are right when you refer to the period after the Musharraf era. However, I do remember GOP achieving up to 95% of the budgetary targets. But you say “Has any previous gov achieved the tax target, revised or not revised?”. In my opinion, a presumptuous statement...

Sir, This is what is called a "SPIN" to the actual situation. Before PTI stalwarts jumping with joy; they should realize that the Revenue target had been revised downward 3 times since the 2019-2020 fiscal budget was announced last year. Quote It may be noted that FBR’s tax collection target...

Sir, No one would suggest covering up such a serious situation, it is the question of how it is done. Since the crash report suggested pilot error, a less painful way would be to ground the suspected pilots right away or all of the PIA pilots if needed and ask them to re-take their Commercial...

Sir, I agree with you 100%. The info I was able to get is the same. The problem stems from Pakistan's Civil Aviation Authority instituting 8 additional papers sometime in 2012/2013. Here is a long article of which a friend sent me a link...

The word Communalism is derived from Community. I would, therefore, define it as the fostering of cohesiveness within and allegiance to one's own ethnic, linguistic, religious, or sectarian community and discrimination of those from other communities. Whether within or without the national...

For the record, according to my info, Air Chief Marshal Anwar Mujahid Khan is from Zafarwal, Dist Narowal. I don't think his mother tongue is Urdu. Additionally, Minister of Planning Asad Umer is the son of Maj Gen Ghulam Umer mentioned in the Hamoodur Rahman report. Are you sure that he comes...

Honorable Death Professor, Yes I do know the difference between Afghan Taliban, TTP & Al-Qaida but anyone who truly believes that these organizations are not linked is seriously mistaken. To the best of my info, Al-Qaeda is still a banned organization in Pakistan. "Lashkar Jhangvi...

I am aware of a large of Urdu speakers who migrated from Urdu speaking areas into Sargodha. Additionally, I once went to Lalian (Dist Chiniot) to attend a wedding, it was then full of migrants from Ambala (Haryana) who spoke a dialect of Urdu. There may have been no Urdu speakers in Punjab...

"Touche"

Sir, I may be involved in anti-Pakistan propaganda according to you and Pakistani News Channels may have maliciously highlighted Imran's' comments. But what would you say that this has been picked up by the up by our eternal enemy Indian media? Here are links to Hindustan Times & The Hindu...
