Absolutely incorrect. I am a frequent visitor to Turkey. Turkey is one of the few countries where Pakistanis are given brotherly respect. As far as Taxi drivers are concerned, some do try to fleece passengers but their dealing isn’t Pakistan specific. Please avoid disinformation
ترکی میں ٹیکسی ڈرائیور وں سے لیکر پولیس تک ہر دوسرا بندہ پاکستانیوں کے ساتھ زیادتی اور لوٹ مار کرتا ہے ہم ترکوں کو اپنا بھائی سمجھتے رہتے ہیں وہ ہمیں چونا لگاتے رہتے ہیں پاکستانی سفارتکاروں کی ترکی میں کوئی عزت نہیں ہمیں کچھ غلط فہمیوں سے نکلنا چاہئیے

While the senior most Judge of SC becomes the CJP, how come junior High Court judges are handpicked by the CJP, ignoring sitting Chief Justices of HC, for nomination as Judges of SC? What is the justification to ignore CJs of SHC & IHC? This negates the independence of judiciary
Using name of the Quaid should not be allowed. Under the list of prohibited names by SECP, names of Famous/Distinct Personalities can only be used by the permission of competent authority. Permission to use Jinnah in the name of any commercial venture should not be granted.

Celebrating receipt of $3 Bn Saudi loan at 4% interest which can be recalled on 72 hours notice in case of “default” or without assigning any reasons? So practically we can not use it .. it’s like fooling ourselves by paying $120 million (Rs 21 Bn+) just to keep useless money

Personally I am against bans on media however if for a change, ALL news channels in Pakistan are taken off air for 23 hours everyday and only allowed to broadcast from 9PM to 10PM for next few weeks … the people might become more productive. 😊

Pakistan’s Economy has serious structural issues. No political party or leader has the potential to correct the course
ONLY way out is for ALL pol parties to put aside differences for few yrs & join hands to reform the economy. I know its too much to ask but there is NO OTHER WAY
Stellar performance by value added sector of Pakistan in 2021: Growth in Apparel Exports in 2021 to USA 69.1% & EU 27.89% beating growth of both India & Bangladesh. Let’s keep it up In-sha’Allah Pakistan needs every Dollar

Ad hoc measures to get IMF program back on track, which only burden the ordinary citizens and existing taxpayers won’t work & can’t be supported. Time has come to tax the trading and real estate earnings, end undocumented cash economy, privatise SOEs, cut down Gov size.
Thank you everyone who has congratulated /appreciated
@InterloopLtd
export performance during FY24. While export value for Interloop appears to be correct, I am not sure about the authenticity & correctness of the list being circulated and Interloop’s position. In my view
Energy prices have become totally unbearable for even middle class. Failure to privatise the inefficient SOEs, a flawed energy policy and even more importantly imposition of heavy taxes to cover for keeping the blue eyed Real Estate and Traders out of Tax net is playing havoc.

Just left after attending Lunch hosted by PM in honour of Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng. During informal discussions found Chinese diplomats very optimistic about investment in Pakistan and exports of goods to China, especially in food including meat.
We are all Pakistanis - there are no minorities. Why should we be differentiated based on beliefs, cast, creed or religion. Even State has no business to do so.

IMF’s objective is to reduce fiscal deficit. Instead of burdening the salaried middle class why the govt doesn’t go after the rich tax evaders & also tax the Real Estate instead of granting amnesty & this burdening the middle class with taxes
Had a conversation with a top executive of one of the top most global brands. He says Pakistan has lot of potential for export but needs to fix a few small things:
1) Improve the International Airport (Lahore)

You have risked burning pol capital to save the country from default. All the arguments against super tax doesn’t hold good when the country is on the verge of default. Let us stabilise and then start growing. Stay firm.
Everyone talks about the benefit of direct taxes and now that we have done that, and imposed a one-time Super tax from 1% to 10% on companies and individuals earning a minimum of 15 crore, why so much consternation? This year we will have a tax to gdp ratio of 8.6%, one of 3/n
To me, who believes in supremacy of Parliament & sanctity of Constitution, who wants to see Pakistan as a moderate & pluralistic Republic, postponing elections will set a very dangerous precedent. No matter how pertinent the reasons are, elections must be held as per constitution

Time has come to:
1) END ALL Selective Privileges, Subsidies, Cross Subsidies, Tax exemptions- from everyone irrespective of one’s status, position or job & from every sector.
2) Govt & Govt agencies to get out of business which is not for public good
3) Tax EVERYONE

A decorated soldier, who was respected by all, has taken his life to protect his honour. Is it too much to ask:

3: put names of concerned NAB officials on ECL
#AsadMunir
Absolutely affluent class must be ready for additional taxes. However it is imperative to tax agriculture real estate and all those who are affluent, including traders & professionals, & either not paying taxes or very little taxes. Otherwise capital will flow to untaxed sectors
The Tobacco industry will be paying a Super Tax.
Cement. Sugar. Steel and Automobile manufacturers will also be paying 10% Super Tax for a limited time.
It's time the affluent segment along with Govt steps up instead of salaried class to help steer Economy in right direction.
Restoration /increase of Tax on salaried individuals with salaries up to 200,000 PM is not a good step when retailers & traders are being let go with a small fixed tax. No steps visible to make professionals like designers, lawyers, doctors etc pay full tax.
Who is stopping you! Go after the tax evaders. There is a parallel economy of Trillions of Rupees. Instead of burdening ordinary people Govt must come down hard on the rich who evade taxes. STOP giving amnesty like the one granted 2 Real Estate sector which has created distortion
Finance Minister Shaukat Tarin urged unregistered potential taxpayers in the country to start paying taxes before "we reach you" with details of their assets and the amount of tax they were liable to pay.
Met Winston today while strolling Old Bond St. in London. He appeared more interested in my cigar (Late Night Churchill) than the political drama in Pakistan 😀
There is absolutely no way this airline can be restructured. Trying to restructure it will further increase the misery of the economy. There is not even any Public Good involved in trying to keep this terminally ill company on ventilator.
PIA's restructuring plan presented by it's management👇🏻
- Allow PIA to keep FED paid by customers, Rs15Bn per year.
- Wave PIA civil aviation fee, Rs20Bn per year.
- Make banks agree to wave interest on loans, Rs50B+ per year.
First use tax payers money to achieve Rs500Bn+
