Why shouldn't we ban trade with a cheap enemy country who dont want to play cricket with Pakistan just bcoz they dont want Pakistan cricket board to earn few million dollars, who want loyalty of our artists just bcoz they are paying them few crores a year, what about Pakistan giving billions to you in surplus? why should Pakistani feed those scums with our billions? let us feed to those who are loyal to us..

i asked for tit for tat, if they are raising tax on cargo, we should too, we should never be dependent on Bharat and Afghanistan in first place, we should find new markets for our goods.. we in recent past sign deal with Russia for agri products exports, similarly we are planing to raise our trade with Iran from few hundred millions to $5 billion in 5 years, hope they will replace Afghanistan, i hope we should aggressively market our goods in ME too..



exports and remittance are falling in bharat too, i think its trending everywhere, as for foreign reserves you are wrong, we are at $23 billion level for the first time in history of Pakistan..

*These knee jerk reactions with trade tariffs whether it is Afghanistan, India or Pakistan does not bode well for businesses to thrive and prosper. Unless the security situation improves we will witness more of the same for foreseeable future. Having trade deficit is common between our countries because of diversity of our industries and not because we want to punish you. Economy of scale and subsidies make our products more attractive. We also have similar trade deficit with China which is five times our GDP.

*We don't have any problem playing Pakistan at a neutral venue. Pakistan playing in India and India playing in Pakistan is out of question because of security situation. We don't have any problem if you make millions as long as it promotes peace in our region.

*Your singers and artists are thriving here is ample proof we will extend our hand to promote peace.
* What Afghanistan is doing is offensive defence because they have been pushed around. They are proud people and they are showing their disdain and displeasure by hiking the taxes. It is in your own interest to make peace with Afghans and allay their fears.

i agree, btw We buy nothing strategic from bharat, it can be replaced with little hike in price, do you think those business people who are involve with Bharat Pakistan trade depend only on each other no, they know it can be close anytime, they always have alternate.. you are punishing our business, Musharraf wanted to earn big from bharat, he wanted to start business trains who can be used for cement export, but your govt rejected it, now do you know how you guys export cement? it comes in 50 kg bag, your people unload like this..

Pakistan never asked you to play in Pakistan bcoz of bad security situation, we wanted neutral venue, but BCCI decline bcoz they think they are doing favor to Pakistan..

Yet he was the architect of 1999 Kargil war while peddling peace overtures at agra summit.

When you have peace and trust then what Musharraf was proposing would have happened. All the infrastructure projects came to stand still including the IPI and TAPI pipeline,

 

[GDP Adil Khan Niazi]

The more Afghanistan will create barriers between themselves and Pakistan , the more they will push themselves away from us and in the end will result in no support from Pakistan. The kind of support which Pakistan did when Pakistan Armed Forces went into Afghanistan when Russia attacked the neighbor country.

you also backstab us whenever you found the way whether we talk about Kashmir, siachen or 71,

i am talking about 2005-6 when there was peace, we were not asking them to allow our train without any check and balance so even if there was no trust you have no reason to stop it.

Anyways we dont trust you either so should we stop whole surplus bharti trade and make lacs of your people jobless? Same happen with garment industry which was booming in Pakistan back then, when our export started to grow, bharti raised the tariffs to make them uncompetitive.. So much for fuckin MFN, which your media shows as favor to Pakistan while in reality its Pakistan which is giving favor to bharat... Which should end..

Afghanistan hikes up entry tax on Pakistani cargo trucks by 100pc

PESHAWAR: Transporters of cargo vehicles in Pakistan and Afghanistan went on strike on Saturday as the Afghan government increased entry tax for cargo transporters on both sides.

The Afghan government has introduced a 50 per cent increase in taxes levied against cargo transporters from Pakistan entering Afghanistan, raising the entry tax from 2,500 Afghani to 5,000 Afghani.

A similar hike in entry tax for Afghan transporters has increased the 1,700 Afghani duty to 2500 Afghani.

Shakir Afridi, the president of Khyber Transport Association, said the increase in entry tax from Afghanistan is "unbearable as transporters already pay thousands of rupees illegally in the name tax".

He said the transport community in Pakistan and Afghanistan have been on strike for the past three days. They have also held meetings with Afghan borders authorities on the issue. However, no positive response on the issue has been received so far.

The official said due to the strike against the increase in entry tax, hundreds of trucks loaded with goods remain parked on both sides of the border.

President Afghan Transporters Union Haji Qasim Arab told DawnNews that the transport community of both countries stands united while the jirga of the transport association negotiates with the Afghan government for a reversal of the increase in tax.

Transporters have previously complained against law-enforcement agencies in parts of Afghanistan for having a very harsh and discouraging attitude towards them.

All Transport Trailers and Truck Owners Association Peshawar President Mohammad Yousuf Khan Afridi told Dawn last month that Pakistani transporters were detained and beaten up in Afghanistan and that their documents were snatched from them.

He also said transporters were forced to pay bribes up to Rs30,000 for each visit. Afridi said currently around 200 trucks and trailers usually get to leave Pakistan for Afghanistan daily though the number of vehicles wanting to transport goods was almost double.

“We have to rush home to avoid demurrage charges and detention but the Afghan police tease us on different pretexts,” he said.

We should understand the back ground of Mr Ghani and his companions in Newyork. They always try to mock the stable govts around the world , applying taxes, military showoff etc. But the real ground situation is all together different. When ever someone concentrates on any part of Afghanistan, one sentence comes into mind : "Handle with care". Taliban understand this, and other war lords too, and thats why, Ashraf Ghani is not effective even in president house.

What is this supposed to be one liners?
That rat is probably in some remote mountains, will be issued similar visa to the afterlife like his other scums.
Question is how the entire leadership and Haqqanis doing in Quetta and Pind? Hope they are still enjoying the warm weather.

Why are you still whining about Pakistan? Your never going to change our perception of Afghanistan and its people Please focus on resolving your troubles in Helmand. Pakistan doesn't need to trade with Afghanistan. There are plenty of more lucrative markets available to us.

That is because of lack of trust. When you send your soldiers to top of Kargil, and lie about it or not acknowledge that Ajmal Kasab was your citizen, you are part of that trust deficit. When you say that you will bleed us with thousand cuts, and send proxies across the borders and call them non state actors, you perpetuate the same old hawkish behaviour.

We have not learnt to live in peace and for past 70 years we have not come to terms to accept each other and not to interfere.

We could have solved some of lesser issues like Sir Creek and Siachen but our hawks and nationalists would not allow it. We have not been able to rise above partisan politics and show maturity. What hope do you have that it will happen in our lifetime? I have my reservation....

Checkpoint the border, cut of diplomatic and military ties. Revisit in 100 years when they have evolved from tribal monkey phase fighting over different skin tones and facial features. Have you ever visited pashtun forums? These clowns are nowhere near ready to be treated like a trade partner.

Secondly what are they doing in Pakistan, force their leadership out of Pakistan, force them to negotiate, you don't have to fight them just force them out of Pakistan.

every time we have forced them to flee they get haven across the border, including Fazlullah whom we consider as a public enemy #1

Here is one for you, still in denial mode?

hand over Fazlullah, ensure the mayors of Kabul (whose loyalties are always up for RENT) stop doing india's bidding to backstab Pakistan using Afghan soil - then we'll talk
