I understand some of the reasons why the Afghans had to be sent back, the question I want to ask is why was this done now? Given Pakistan's unstable political and economic situation, why was it done now?

I've seen this issue brought up multiple times here and I'm still not sure who has the right figures and what is supposed to be meant by it.
Does Punjab pay more tax or Sindh? Does Lahore pay less tax than Karachi adjusted for population?
What if it is one way or the other? What does...

I wanted to make a point that I think needs to be made.
There is no dishonour in a soldier going out and getting overcome by an enemy during battle. The point is to go out and risk your life and limb for your cause. Do we not consider our fallen as heroes? Is not the shaheed looked...

I find the silence of the Jihadi groups that specialised in Kashmir very interesting. I understand Hafiz Saeed is custody but he was hardly the only member. These groups have deep roots and had been training members since late 80s and 90s.
I'm sure they all didn't just disappear into...

So given the recent developments, FATF has become very important again.

The military leadership suspected/knew that this was in the works and have been planning for this eventuality. There are multiple plans of action to fight this out.

So the Indians have revoked the article that gave special rights to J&K territory. The Indians seem to be celebrating like they've just conquered Azad Kashmir and some Pakistanis are reacting like Azad Kashmir has been conquered by India.
