Funnily enough. Pakistan tax the salaried class more and more because it can’t tax the untaxed. It charges high tariffs from those who pay their utility bills because it can’t recover dues from those who steal electricity. Better be a thief to survive! 😂😂😂
My son had a minor dog bite. Took him to one of the MTIs near us. To our utter surprised, we were told that one can’t get all five anti rabies PEP from one hospital and therefore, we would need to take him to five hospitals!!! Should I laugh.
@Jhagra
plz ask.
If somebody can help me understand this: Government is obliged to pay the IPPs their capacity charges whether we use or don’t use electricity. Right? What is then the fuss about shutting down markets early to save 1500 megawatts of electricity???

Visited my mentor and elder, Rahimullah Yousafzai this morning. Heartening to see him in good spirits and regaining health. May Allah grant him good health and long life. Amen
Dear Mr. Prime Minister, a small observation: Pashtuns didn’t attack the state, TTP did. Just like Punjabis didn’t attack the state the Punjabi Taliban did. Pashtuns were mauled, maimed, killed and displaced. And I know you know this. Regards

Sirajul Haq saib as finance minister in the MMA government didn’t shy away from getting loans and grants from international lending bodies. He told me then that he would use the interest-based loans to make toilets!!!!
NAB brought the only PhD in Sanskrit, in Asia from Germany, a Fulbright scholar and a gold medalist in archeology, Dr. Samad, to court for employing low paid workers to ward off illegal excavations. What a shame! Why should anybody serve here!
I remember breaking down in tears as news flashed about the shahadat of my brother,

Ghayyur, on this day. Let’s remember the 1522 brave men and women of the valiant KP Police force who laid down their lives to protect us.

In a major political escalation, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa cabinet has officially authorized
@AliAminKhanPTI
to lodge treason cases against top PMLN,PPP and JUI leaders in Dera Ismail Khan.
@Jhagra
My office boy would never have dreamt of getting surgical treatment at one of best private hospitals in Peshawar and stayed at private rooms! It is truly transformative. Empowering the poor!
There is an anchor who would scold Gen Mush for not taking action against Lal Masjid and its cleric but changed sides and blamed Mush for taking action. He did the same against CJ Isa, whipping up religious emotions and then ridiculed him for bucking down.
#Fazlur
Rehman to lead the protest at GT Road Peshawar today. He has seized on the

to take on the

government. Political opportunism. This isn’t about this or that party. It’s about Pakistan and it’s image. But who cares?!!!

Whatever the reason, whatever the objective, the resurgence of militancy in parts of

It’s funny how

Son of a dear friend is fighting for his life at Ayub Medical Complex with no doctor to attend to him. Had to call Commissioner Abbottabad, Chief Secretary and Secretary Health to seek help. This is the downside of MTI system.
@Jhagra
Those who question how Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s brother “illegally” landed a job in Karachi, should ask why Establishment Division, Islamabad and Establishment Department, KP processed and approved his deputation to
#Sindh
.
Maulana was a full beneficiary of the PDM government, enjoyed cabinet portfolio, a Governor in KP and defacto caretaker government in the province. He can not exonerate himself from its doing.
آج مولانا فضل رحمان نے بتا دیا کہ جنرل فیض اور جنرل باجوہ نے پاکستان سے غداری کی ہے۔ ان کے خلاف کاروائی ہونی چاہئیے۔ افسوس کا مقام ہے کہ جنرل باجوہ اکیلا نہیں تھا۔ جنرل فیض بھی شامل تھا۔
Khyber Pakhtunkha is struggling to pay salaries on time. It would be next a miracle to increase salaries by 35% in the coming budget. No one has a clue as to what to do. Who brought this province to the brink of bankruptcy?
@SHABAZGIL
Gill sahib, had you know that Safi is a Mohmand tribe living in Pakistan and Afghanistan, I am quite sure you would have avoided using such language against a whole tribe to settle scores with Saleem Safi.
So
#PML
N has rejected
#ElectionsPakistan2018
but is still trying to make a government in the Punjab.
#PPP
has also rejected results but would would rule Sindh. Fazl, Asfand can take a hike. Political opportunism at its best!
Never in my life have I ever seen so much division, hatred and toxicity. Will it take a foreign aggression or mass-killing at the scale of APS to unite? Do we have unite in grief and not happiness? M sad. Really sad.
He mocked them “Railu Khatta”, and his President is now going to grant Darren Sammy honorary citizenship. How words come to haunt u. Always think before you speak!!
If today’s events in

proves anything, it is that the
#Taliban
face a vibrant educated and vocal youth. It will be difficult right-rope walk for the Taliban to keep its ranks satisfied as well as the general populace of the country.
PK is all set to launch his own KP-based party and is busy assembling a group of “electables.” Many are from his soon-to-be former party. He is aiming to lead the next government in the province. A tall order but not impossible.

BRT on March 23. CM Mehmood Khan to issue a statement tomorrow. Bold decision. Good to take responsibility and speak the truth than lie about it.
Staying on the subject. Why colleges require students to verify DMCs from BISEs and universities. Why can’t they just email and get the verification themselves? Why can’t BISEs and universities give online access to them?
@kamrankbangash
It is getting uglier and it is getting dirtier. Desperate games of throne! What a mess it is turning into. May God have mercy on

All roads leading to University Town and Hayatabad

’s economic downfall didn’t happen overnight. No IMF package will work until we make some tough decisions, restructure and reform. Stop jeering and celebrating rupee free-fall. If this country goes down, we all will go down with it.
So Amir Muqam’s nominee Chief Executive PESCO is on his way out and Maulana’s nominee is on his way in. Summary waiting for PM’s approval. Maulana is milking the PDM government with both hands. Make hay while the sun shines, as they say.
@EngineersPesco
Out of the three new inductions as advisor in KP caretaker government, one is the district president of PML-N, Mansehra and the other is a JUI (F). It is a pukka pukka PDM government.

Very unfortunate incident in Swat. First of its kind in the valley. Vigilantism all around. Have been saying it. When you allow and encourage the mob to take over, the mob wouldn’t stop at one thing. The withering state of the state. I am sad. Very sad.
To all those ridiculing and insulting
@SaleemKhanSafi
, plz respect dissent. Have known him for two decades. You may agree or disagree with his views but he has held forth. Plz also read his articles on MNS. He nearly risked losing his job.
How about

presenting an alternative budget? They have figures on their finger tips.

Just fail to understand why it is mandatory for students of age 18 and above to furnish domicile certificates when they have CNICs to provide the same very details with regard to birthplace, district, province, address etc.

Punjab seems to have a problem distinguishing between undocumented Afghans and Pakistani Pashtuns. Seven of the deportees at Torkham today had CNICs and were returned to Punjab.
The root cause of the controversy over
#DGISI
is Late Bhutto’s executive order creating political wing. Do away with this and politicians will have zero interest in who runs it. It’s about control of the political wing rather than the ISI.
One can challenge and disagree with some parts of Bajwa’s farewell speech but he acknowledged mil’s pol role in 70 years was unconstitutional. Will CJ SCP also admit to “judicial engineering” in Pak pol history?
I know Afzal Latif sahib. He has served in Peshawar. An upright and honest officer. Not surprised at his posting out. He has the gumption to say “No” to his political bosses.
What saddens me the most is reading comments in chat groups and here at X celebrating Pakistan’s failures. Due to our skewed political biases we forget that Pakistan’s failure is our failure. Criticism and celebration are two different things.
If Sheikh Rasheed had an option, he would have dumped IK long time ago. I have never had any doubt about it. His very political survival is tied up to
@ImranKhanPTI
and guess what IK knows it! 😂
This caretaker government has no moral authority, if it had one, to continue in office beyond the constitutionality-mandated period. It is an unelected PDM government and it should call itself one.
