75 years ago my late father worked the local coal mines in England to supplement tuition fees. Never take independence for granted. Pakistan zindabad. #PakistanAt75

Just watched a clip in which Dr. Ishrat Hussain claimed that the FBR had nearly 100 officers worth around $100 million each.
Even if only partly true, it reflects the enormous cost Pakistan has paid for decades of bad governance.
More alarming is the collapse of the very idea of public service. Large parts of the civil bureaucracy now appear less focused on governing the state and more on exploiting it.
For many, authority has become a route to wealth accumulation, influence peddling, and institutionalised plunder.
Pakistan does not just need economic reform. It needs a return to merit, integrity, and accountability. And that change must come from the top. A fish rots from the head.

Question is why would Israel make public the visit when UAE clearly does not want to acknowledge it? It suits Israel to tout the relationship but at the cost of burning UAE? nytimes.com/2026/05/13/wor…

The deadly suicide bombings in Bannu and Lakki Marwat didn’t get even a fraction of the time this so-called Pinki “drug queen” of Karachi got on mainstream electronic media .

I have mixed feelings about the 7E verdict. Personally, it reduces my tax burden. Yet, it puts a big hole (estimated at Rs.80-120 billion a year) in the FBR’s annual tax collection and even greater liability if you account for refund claims. Big question now: Who will be squeezed to replace this annual 80-120 billion gap?

Do closing commercial activity earlier in night even helps? Yes.
Did a quick simulation, and closing commercial activity by 8pm saves you about PKR 40 billion, and by 10pm, it saves about PKR 20 billion.
If you are Karachi, you just lol and move on..

While US burns cash in the Persian Gulf and Russia bleeds in Ukraine, China is winning without firing a shot and delivering technology the world actually wants.

Read past the headline sourced from a single quote from a pro-India analyst. Take that out and the piece is a glowing account of Pakistan's emergence as an indispensable global mediator. Don't judge this one by its cover. Well done #Pakistan share.google/7qBgJrsX4Wp9Nk…

No reflection. No accountability. Just attack the messenger. Theek hai janab — if FIRs against executives and freezing accounts before establishing any tax liability is your blueprint for business confidence, good luck with that ease of doing business ranking. 🇵🇰

With reference to the tweet by an honorable member of the legal fraternity, whom FBR holds in high esteem, it is nevertheless necessary to respond to the baseless and uninformed allegations made therein. 1/11

FBR issued a CEO notice to explain tax on income never received. Same officer, same day — before any reply — issues a second notice accusing the CEO of making a false statement. Days later: FIR filed under Anti-Money Laundering law. Arrest sought. Bank accounts targeted. This is not due process. This is a shakedown. @FBRSpokesperson

Stop amplifying a moment of friction. This is a trap laid by our enemies. Pak-UAE bond was built on the sweat & sacrifice of millions of workers. Wise leaders on both sides know the depth of this relationship. Don't let foreign agendas poison what our people bled to build. 🇵🇰❤️🇦🇪

کبھی کبھی کسی کو ہوش دلانے کے لئے جھٹکا دینا بہت ضروری ہو جاتا ھے۔ پاکستان نے پچھلے 10 دنوں میں یو اے ای کو 3 جھٹکے دیے ہیں۔ پہلا جھٹکا تب دیا جب پاکستان نے ایران و امریکہ مذاکرات کی ثالثی کرتے وقت امارات کو اعتماد میں نہیں لیا۔ یعنی مکمل طور پر اگنور کر دیا۔ دوسرا جھٹکا 1/6

The Serena Hotel, owned by the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development, hosted the historic US-Iran negotiations in Islamabad. While most build for profit, the Aga Khan builds for humanity. A leader with a conscience. 🕊️ #IslamabadTalks

The Serena Islamabad is owned by the Aga Khan Development Network and is a part of the Serena Hotel Chain, His Highness Prince Rahim Aga Khan is hosting the summit with his compliments free of cost as his contribution towards world peace.

Let's not forget that the 2015 nuclear deal between US and Iran was the outcome of two years of negotiations. To expect that the Islamabad mediation would succeed in 24 Hours is unrealistic. After all even a cricket test match takes 5 days.
The White House@WhiteHouse
Vice President JD Vance gives an update in Pakistan: "The simple fact is that we need to see an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon, and they will not seek the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon."

Here is what Pakistan's insiders are saying:
Diplomacy is a marathon, not a sprint. Though the gap between the US and Iran remains wide, the critical takeaway is that the dialogue broken on Feb 28 has officially resumed in Pakistan. History shows these deals take years, not days.

Insane that a country choked under sanctions for decades has infrastructure better than many Western capitals.

Did you know that Iran has a Metro station dedicated to the Holy Mary? Why is there a station dedicated to the Holy Mary in Iran, but no such station in London, New York, Paris, or Rome?

Worrying about offending a genocide-accused regime that is busy torpedoing Islamabad peace talks is not diplomacy. It is capitulation. We do not owe war criminals our silence. #IstandwithKhawajaAsif

I visited #SharifUniversity years ago. Met faculty & conversation soon flowed when they learnt I was from Lahore. They spoke with great admiration about Iqbal e Lahori. Bombing it is like Mongols burning Baghdad libraries. Imagine 🇮🇷 doing that to Harvard
