Most unfortunate for Imran Khan to invite foreign interference in our internal affairs. But recall his govt arm twisting Parliament to amend SBP Act in 2021, because of which banks (now mostly foreign-owned) are making huge profits, even though the economy is sinking.
Ukraine war shows that nature of warfare has changed frm manpower/armour base to electronics base. Sophisticated missiles (HIMARS) are reportedly proving ineffective as Russian electronics mis-directs them. Need for us to shift defence strategy n modalities.
Those who support imports must arrange foreign exchange to pay for it or ask IMF to arrange grant financing for it.
Strongly oppose reported IMF condition to liberalize imports further. IMF appears to be acting on behalf of western companies to open up markets for them. This will further worsen our Balance of Trade, forcing us to beg for more loans n push us further down the debt hole.
Challenge Mifta Ismail's statements on Geo program (Saturday Feb 20, 10pm) re federal finances, NFC n provincial tax collection. Federal fiscal crisis is due to it's own profligacy, not NFC, not provincial govts. Provinces have collected more GST Services than FBR ever did.
Electoral promises by political parties are commendable But they will need resources to implement That will only come frm 1. Reduction of non-dev n non-combat defence expenditure 2. Reduction of oil n non-essential consumer imports Are that part of the promises?

Key to economic survival is 1. Reduction of non-dev + non combat defence exp 2. Reduction of oil n non-essential consumer imports 3. Reduction of GST Goods rate to spur industry, employment n exports Any political party not committing to above is merely making empty promises.

Debt exceeds legal limit by Rs 14.5 trillion - Business Tribune Riyasat will sink the economy, but not reduce the choking non development n non combat defence expenditures.
The quick fire suspension of UNRWA funding by western nations may not be a knee jerk reaction to unproven Israeli accusations. It may be intended to render dysfunctional humanitarian aid to force Gazans to leave Gaza for Israel to incorporate it. Is there off shore oil in Gaza?
Two realities of Western 'values' Western govts swear by 'innocent until proven guilty'; but 12 out of 12,000 Palestinian UNRWA employees, accused by Israel, are sacked before even investigation n Western govts withdraw funding to UNRWA, it is 'guilty before proven'.
Two realities of Western 'values' 1. When 'other' govts restrict criticism, it is violation of freedom of speech; but 'no freedom of speech' to support Palestine or criticize Israeli genocide.
People of GB protesting for more than a month, with no one in Islamabad paying any attention to their grievances. Baloch women n children camped in protest for more than a month in Islamabad, with no one responding to their grievances. Does Islamabad care?
Tit for that is good, tactically; Strategically though, And I repeat We are now in a state of war with all 3 of our neighbors This is a collosal foreign policy failure - a reflection of failed domestic policy. Those managing the state of affairs are driving the country to ruin.
IMF has released 705.6 million dollars UAE has rolled over 2 billion dollar deposit Three cheers for kashkolonomics!
We are now in a state of war with all three of our neighbors. This is a colossal failure of foreign policy - a direct reflection of failures in domestic policies. Those managing the state of affairs are driving the country into ruin.
"SIFC takes steps to save Rs 149b Cuts 76 .. projects, freezes .. schemes" - Business Tribune Cuts in development projects is unfortunate. Riyasat will inflict pain of unemployment n poverty on the people, but not cut its non-development, non-combat expenditures.
PIA privatisation "... 75% of the Rs 825 billion debt ... will be transferred to the new entity and the funds from privatisation and property sale would cover this amount ..." "Property sale", ah! Privatisation ultimately boils down to land grab!
PIA privatisation "... 75% of Rs 825 billion debt ... will be transferred to new entity n funds from privatisation and property sale would cover this amount ..." Does this mean that net amount Govt will receive will = Sale amount minus Rs 625 billion? Explanation is called for

If she is not with Hamas then they must come up with some clarification.
This beautiful 12 year old girl with autism was kidnapped from her home by Hamas terrorists and was taken to Gaza. Noya, is sensitive, kind, funny and a massive Harry Potter fan. @jk_rowling can you help us get her story out? Share this and help us bring Noya home ♥️…
Countless people have been migrated from wad. Businesses have been shut down. Media /so called journalists and fellow politicians are completely mute in highlighting this issue. The agreement to ‘solve’ the issue only favours the death squad. Every possibility to harm my people…
Do you agree?🇮🇱
@kaiserbengali Gov of 🇵🇰 must be biggest land holder . Surplus land parcels from diff gov bodies / companies shud be transferred to a land holding company formed by gov , who can put to commercial use these parcels. By this way, gov can fetch better price & also control end usage of land
This is unfortunate #JournalismIsNotACrime
BREAKING: Israeli air strikes in south Lebanon have killed one journalist and wounded three others including two Al Jazeera journalists.
May he rest in peace 😔
Rest in Power Reuters cameraman and journalist, Issam Abdullah, killed in the last hour by Israeli bombing in the south of Lebanon. He was surrounded by cameras & other journalists, wearing press vests, who have also been injured. Is this Israeli self-defence too?!
Rabbi Elhanan Beck: Jews are not extensions of Israel. The Jewish people belong to many nationalities around the world. Israel’s government does not reflect our interests or represent our values. Judaism is a religion. Not a nationality It’s antisemitic to suggest otherwise.
Stop this madness. Hamas should not harm women and children in their custody and Israel must stop targeting hospitals, mosques and schools. bbc.com/news/world-mid…
Don’t kill the innocents. Raise your voice for the little children . #StopTheWar #Gaza #Israel #hamas
The Israeli regime is using white phosphorus on Gaza again. This is a poisonous chemical substance dispersed in artillery shells & bombs. It ignites on contact with oxygen & burns when it comes into contact with skin. When inhaled it causes serious damage to internal organs.
BREAKING| Israeli military forces use poisonous white phosphorus weaponry on heavily populated districts in the north of Gaza.
Gaza is NOT an open-air prison. Prisons are for people convicted of crimes. Gaza is an open-air concentration camp. Stop downplaying it.
Spare a thought for Afghanistan, where an earthquake in Herat has now killed well more than 2,000 people, with the death toll expected to further rise. 11 nearby villages had every home destroyed. Afghans need far more help than they’re likely to get. cbsnews.com/news/afghanist…
2,050 dead and 1,240 more hurt after a massive earthquake in Herat. Yet another natural disaster and deadly tragedy in a country that so much of the world has forgotten about. Aid cuts, including UN food aid cuts last month, could hamper relief efforts. cnn.com/2023/10/07/wor…
Why Hamas praised National poet of Pakistan? Dr Muhammad Iqbal had attended the General Islamic Conference in Jerusalem in 1931 at the invitation of Grand Mufti of Palestine Haji Amin Al-Husseini. He always opposed the division of Palestine. tribune.com.pk/story/2271651/…
For yrs now , my family, like all Gaza families, have our “emergency bags”, always ready to pick up when we’re forced to evacuate. We leave everything behind. Our bag mainly includes our medicines, docs, chargers of mobiles, some personal belongings, and hygiene kits.
I urge you to take a moment and view the magnitude of this disaster from a different perspective. The loss of life has already surpassed two thousand, and these numbers continue to rise with each passing moment. It is crucial that we raise awareness about this devastating…
Western newspapers won’t tell you about the massacres committed by the Israeli army. Zionism is always justifiable—settlers can kill, kidnap & steal, as well as institutionally monopolize violence as if it’s a fact of nature. But dare a Palestinian resist…
Was waiting for this: 1. Selective arguments by Western leaders of self defence should no longer hold moral and legal validity. 2. One is not a terrorist when defending themselves, their lands and their homes. Isn’t that what Ukraine taught us?
I am shocked by this morning's attacks by Hamas terrorists against Israeli citizens. Israel has an absolute right to defend itself. We're in contact with Israeli authorities, and British nationals in Israel should follow travel advice.
