@AAMIRHUSSAIN79 It’s a picture not a biopic stop living in make believe world

اگر مشکل حالات میں اپنے اعصاب پر قابو پانا سیکھنا ھے تو ان تصویروں میں دو چہرے ہیں ایک حافظ صاحب کا ایک اسحاق ڈار کا ، حافظ صاحب ،جے ڈی وینس کو مذاکرات ناکامی کے بعد رخصت کررہے ہیں لیکن انکے چہرے کے تاثرات سے لگ رہا ھے کہ وہ اس مذاکرات سیشن کے بعد پھر اس جنگ کے خاتمے کے لیے کوئی مشورہ دے رہے ہیں مطلب آخری لمحے تک کوشش کرنا ، حوصلہ/ہمت نا ہارنا ، نئی راہ تلاش کرنا ، جب کہ اسحاق ڈار کے چہرے سے لگ رہا ھے کہ مایوس ہو کر ہتھیار پھینک چکے ہیں ۔۔۔

@javedhassan What are you talking about? Real people’s portfolios went up - it’s a realised financial gain en-mass which was triggered by the PK PM’s tweet. Stop being a serial pessimist - it may have worked in the past but negative perspective = intelligence isn’t appreciated any longer.

So, God forbid the negotiations don’t succeed and the market falls 4%—are we to assign responsibility just as readily? By the same logic, it is hard to treat short-horizon increases in market capitalization as evidence of meaningful wealth creation. These are, first and foremost, valuation effects—driven by shifts in discount rates, risk premia, and sentiment—not a discrete expansion in productive capacity or national income. Calling this ‘trillions in wealth creation’ risks overstating what are, in essence, paper gains. The relevant metric is not the market’s day-to-day fluctuations, but whether there is a sustained improvement in fundamentals: investment, productivity, and policy credibility. Absent that, such moves are better understood as transient repricing rather than durable economic progress.

@ayeshaijazkhan @MahmoodAudah @thealiwarsi A journalists job is unbiased enquiry - stress testing truths and falsehoods regardless of their own point of view. Why would you expect otherwise? That’s one of the very problems of today’s society.

@MahmoodAudah @thealiwarsi He was trained by Imran Khan’s ex-wife, Jemima Goldsmith, and still often does propaganda for her, against Pakistan.

Mehdi Hasan played the fraudulent “anti-semitism” card against Corbyn when he was about to de-Zionise the UK. He condemned the Palestinian resistance during a perfectly legal operation. He’s now repeating neocolonial talking points against Iran, when it’s under a barbaric attack from the most evil child trafficking, child killing, depraved, genocidal supremacists on earth. It’s obvious who this serves, especially during a war of aggression, and no amount of “journalistic neutrality” will hide it. People are sick of propaganda - and it gets more sickening when it comes from those who claim to stand against it.

@omar_quraishi It’s a platform for global audiences to hear Pakistan’s perspective. Think TRT World, Press TV.. don’t have to be so cyclical about everything.

Another English news channel launched in Pakistan But where’s the audience? Those people who watch news in English are not going to watch Pakistani channels in English but CNN, BBC or Al Jazeera English or Sky And if I want news about Pakistan I will watch the Pakistani news channels English Channel based in Pakistan ki jagah kahan hai

@SkyYaldaHakim Some objectivity in your reporting would go a long way - at best pakistan was a conduit of western foreign policy. And Pak didn’t fly the taliban in from space, they’re very much part of the rich Afghan social fabric. It seems introspection is not one of your strengths.

Pakistan spent decades backing and sheltering the Afghan Taliban — its defence minister acknowledged that to me on camera. Now it says Taliban-ruled Afghanistan is providing sanctuary to militants attacking Pakistan. The consequences are unfolding in real time.

@MarioNawfal One question I would love the answer to is, does Khan regret using similar tactics whilst he was in power as not only was due process not followed then but it also paved the way for him being where he is today.

🚨🇵🇰 EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: IMRAN KHAN’S SONS BREAK THEIR SILENCE Every once in a while, I conduct an interview that could shape the politics of a country. This may be one of them. Imran Khan, who I spoke with just weeks before his arrest, was one of the most popular leaders of our time. Often called the “Trump of Pakistan,” he had an approval rating above 60%. But when he turned against the country’s powerful military establishment, the cost was immediate. He was shot. Then jailed. Then banned — not just from office, but from television, radio, and social media. And yet, even from behind bars, even with his name erased, his party still won a majority in Pakistan’s latest elections. It didn’t matter. Today, he sits in a 7x8 cell designed for death row inmates. No light. No lawyer. No access to doctors. No due process. His sons, Sulaiman and Kasim Khan, have spent their lives out of the spotlight, far from the chaos of Pakistani politics. But for nearly 2 years, they’ve watched their father — wounded, silenced, and locked in solitary confinement — be forgotten by the world. They haven’t seen him since he was shot. Phone calls, when they come, arrive at random — sometimes at 4 a.m. — and last only 20 minutes before the line goes dead. They stayed completely silent through all of it. Not because they didn’t care — but because they were afraid speaking out would make things worse. But now? Now it’s been too long. Now the silence feels like betrayal. Now, they’re speaking — because this might be the only thing left they can do. And they did not hold back. To Pakistanis: do not lose hope. To the international community: do not turn a blind eye. Thank you @elonmusk and @lindayaX for X and your fight for free speech. Disclaimers: This interview was conducted prior to the recent clashes between India and Pakistan. I am not alleging the Pakistani military or Government was behind Imran’s assassination attempt. Also note: Urdu voice over of the interview posted below as a comment. 01:26 — “He’s literally in the dark.” No visits. No lawyers. No calls. No light. 02:16 — “He’s completely alone.” No contact. No doctor. No way to know if he’s okay. 03:19 — “A death cell… for terrorists.” 7x8 feet. Blacked out. Designed to erase the human spirit. 04:09 — “First two days were hell.” He survived 10 days in pitch darkness by forcing himself into a Zen-like state. 05:55 — “The line cuts at 20 minutes.” Half the time: lessons. The rest: he asks about our lives. 06:50 — “We get a 4 a.m. message.” If we miss it, it’s months before we hear from him again. 08:04 — “They’re trying to break him.” No light. No doctors. No calls. But he refuses to fold. 09:16 — “He won’t take the deal.” Not without his people. Not if it means betraying them. 13:22 — “We’ve run out of options.” Legal routes are gone. Silence no longer helps. This is our last card. 15:19 — “They banned his name.” On TV, radio, and online — we became the code for our own father. 17:01 — “We never spoke to Grenell.” But we’re grateful. And we’ll speak to anyone who’ll listen. 18:27 — “It’s 100% political.” False charges. Fake trials. A democracy on mute. 20:51 — “Yes, people have been taken.” Supporters, journalists — vanished. Tortured. Broken. 22:06 — “He told us to stay private.” But now? We have no choice. 24:03 — “We thought it’d be a few weeks.” It’s been nearly two years. 26:26 — “He reads. He teaches. Then he listens.” Each call is a lifeline. 28:05 — “They blurred him out.” Even the 1992 World Cup photos — he was erased. 31:00 — “I’ve grown more in 2 years than 20.” That’s what he tells us. 32:20 — “It’s getting desperate.” New threats. Talk of a death sentence. No end in sight. 32:57 — “We asked him for permission.” He said: Do it. 35:00 — “The last time we saw him, he’d been shot.” Three bullets. Still standing. Still smiling. 36:45 — “We’re told not to come back.” We might be used to break him further. 38:16 — “Respect the vote.” PTI won — even without its symbol, even in silence. 39:38 — “Selling exotic fruit?” That’s what they jailed him for. 40:53 — “Some family members were scared.” But we have to try something. 42:07 — “He’s not done.” Still learning. Still fighting. Still planning. 43:12 — “He’s 70. He was shot. And they deny him a doctor.” This is not justice. This is torture.

@skeptbeliever @hasanleader @DrAwab You say billions so I’ll assume $2 Billion as minimum (10% of Dr Sb’s estimate). Even at $2b the company would be trading at a 92.5% discount. You have uncovered a gem here, pls sell everything you have and buy sapphire. Kindly post once done 👍🏽.

@OfficialZeeShah @hasanleader @DrAwab The market cap is of current prices. It totally ignores PE ratio and does not remotely represent actual valuation of companie. If u take into account the PE ratio and controlling share impac, the actual value would indeed be in billions.

Empowering Investor Confidence — by Harassing Pakistani Businessmen The very prominent Pakistani businessman Shahid Abdullah of Sapphire Group was prevented to travel to Dubai because the immigration authorities claim his name was on the No-Fly list Sapphire Group has upwards of $20 billion in assets and investments across Pakistan brecorder.com/news/40332822/…

@elonmusk Quite similar to Pakistan, both were poised for default just a few years ago. PK’s stock market is now up 125% YoY, US bonds 4th top performing in the world, current account and fiscal surplus.

Government reform brings prosperity to Argentina!

@skeptbeliever @hasanleader @DrAwab The combined market cap of sapphire groups largest companies is circa $150 Million USD, representing 0.75% of the stated value. Where is the other 99.25% coming from? Along with social media the beauty of internet is also that you can independently verify info, pls do that too.

@hasanleader @OfficialZeeShah @DrAwab That's only textile. You still need to add sapphire electric, sapphire wind power, sapphire dairies.

@Pakistanomy Omg $20 Billion’s’! Shahid Abdullah must be the secret sole owner of 50 of Pakistan’s top 100 largest publicly listed companies! Sensationalism of Pakistan 👌🏽

This is beyond believable! He will slowly start moving his assets abroad and no one will notice. However, Pakistan will lose a great mind and $20 Billions, just because of this stupidity.

@asadnasir2000 A more relevant comparison to GDP would be turnover.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS:- The market capitalization of top 6 IT companies in the Nifty 50 index surpassed the entire GDP of Pakistan by $18 billion. IMF data shows Pakistan's GDP at $338.24 billion. The market capitalization of the top 6 Indian IT companies stood at $356.21 billion.

Fantastic initiative by the Mir Khalil ur Rehman Foundation to help the common man understand Pakistan’s economic issues and reform agenda. This is the need of the hour, constructive dialogue on the path forward and unity on the reform agenda 👏🏽 👏🏽 #UnitedWeProsper #DividedWeFall

@AbdulRehman0292 dawn.com/news/amp/18234…

Two important roles have been taken away from new finance minister within a few days of his appointment‼️ PM Shehbaz Sharif will himself chair ECC (committee where all important economic decisions are approved). Foreign minister, Ishaq Dar, will head committee on privatization. Privatization will be an important pillar of new IMF program & Ishaq Dar will be leading this important initiative.

@najam_ali @CMShehbaz dawn.com/news/amp/18234…

Muhammad Aurangzeb has given more hope to the business community, more credibility to the PMLN govt than anything else since the formation of the govt. It will be unwise and foolish for PMLN leadership to waste this opportunity. Sir @CMShehbaz if you have chosen to trust a competent and sincere person, then give him the support and authority he needs.

@AmanNasirX Agreed however must add eighteen is a good project and adding value through quality real estate. 18 hole golf course, A grade office space, supermarkets, sports facilities and majority sold as built properties opposed to redundant plots as a wealth store.

@AlcibiadesThe (2/2) magically solve all of our problems.

@AlcibiadesThe (1/2) I disagree, technology has just augmented what was already there. We have always leaned towards conspiracy theories (India, Israel, America) opposed to objectively solving our problems. And secondly we love a Messiah, we want one magical man, to come and

An accurate account of where we are and how we got here. Unfortunately as a nation we prefer sensationalism and conspiracy theories to sensible realities.
