I am not against any GCC country & Dubai in particular.Their progress is remarkable. But sanctions against Iran for 40 years was an economic conspiracy. Loose financial control & abuse of tax regime of UAE affected Pakistan. Harbouring Pakistani criminals be stopped eg Hawala.

First they raise electricity tariffs to historic highs. Then hammer people with record high petrol and diesel prices. And if that wasn’t enough, they force state owned enterprises into funding the “Prime Minister’s Austerity Fund.” Then they spend billions of rupees of public money on ads so the channels that should be holding them accountable are too financially dependent on them. This is not austerity. This is not governance. THIS IS A RACKET. #Form47Crooks #Inflation #مزاحمت_سے_زنجیریں_ٹوٹیں_گی

Speaking of zardari and assets abroad, the rockwood estate and the Swiss accounts are two helpful trips down memory lane. Zardari post second round in government: Denies the Rockwood estate (Surrey mansion) after spending millions of pounds on refurbishing it, filled with hundred thousand pound chandeliers that he decried as being unthinkable for a leader from a poor country. Then when it was about to be auctioned; zardari decided it was his after all and launched a claim to the asset from jail. He explained his earlier denial of ownership on medical ailments and sought a stay of sale proceedings. During his second tenure, he was involved in the procurement of a digitisation project for the customs and ports. The companies that bid to win were SGS and cotecna. It was alleged that these companies paid hefty bribes to zardari to win the computerisation contracts. These led to prosecutions of the principals in Switzerland. Zardari was Convicted in Switzerland for graft related to these contracts. Accounts related to him containing 60 million dollars in Switzerland were frozen. Zardari then applied for access to these 60 million dollars once the freeze on the graft related account was lifted ONLY because Zardari’s legal team presented the NRO law to the Swiss court and argued that thievery was no longer a crime in that period in Pakistan. As president in his first term, Once the NRO was declared void ab initio, Zardari’s pppp led government ignored SC directions to write to the Swiss asking for a revisit of that earlier NRO based acquittal. The PPP Sacrificed a Prime Minister to prevent the writing of the letter. That prime minister was later rewarded with a return to the senate and tickets for his family. Meanwhile, the court record of the entire Swiss proceedings were then taken from the Pakistani consulate in Switzerland. The person overseeing the taking of the record was then Pakistani consul general in the United Kingdom, wajid shamsul Hasan. Geo’s Murtuza from london was present there for the removal and asked wajid sb on camera what he was upto and the latter refused to offer any replies whilst smoking cigars on the sidewalk.

- The performance of Murad Ali Shah and Murtaza Wahab must be assessed not through statements, but through real outcomes on the ground, urban management, infrastructure, public services, and quality of life. #Karachi cannot afford inertia. The expectations are simple: delivery, transparency, and urgency.

@ZulfiqarAhmed69 In the name of security - the book of inspiration and wisdom is shelved

If government can offer billion rupees of subsidies on wheat, milk, roti, medicine, tractors, fertilizers and various other items, offer cheap or free electricity for 2-3 years to foreign companies to come and set data centres in Pakistan - if you can provide good internet connectivity and stable power. Offer 5-6 Mwh of even free electricity. It is not going to be even $100k a year but that can tempt some foreign companies. Take some inspiration from the advert below - it is a tiny country in sub-saharan Africa.

Iranian woman, Dr. Fereshteh, explaining Allahu Akbar to western audience when US-Zio bomb a place nearby. Watch how she and everyone else reacts:

BREAKING: BBC correspondent Kasra Naji from Tel Aviv reports that the situation is very bad: Israel is in a partial lockdown, the streets are empty due to fear of Iranian attacks. Shops are closed, and this situation is becoming unbearable for the population. Even large Hezbollah missiles are hitting Tel Aviv without the sirens going off, and this is unprecedented.

I am the word "pinpoint." I appeared on Truth Social at 11:47 AM Eastern on February 28, 2026. The president typed me in capital letters. "The heavy and pinpoint bombing, however, will continue." I was between "heavy" and "bombing." Nobody asked me how I felt about the company I was keeping. "Heavy" is not a word I have ever been seen with socially. We have nothing in common. I am the opposite of "heavy." That is my entire purpose. I was placed between "heavy" and "bombing" the way a mint is placed on a pillow in a building that is on fire. I have a definition. It means precise. Exact. A single point on a map, no larger than a pin. I have been in the English language for three hundred years. I have never once been used correctly in a Pentagon briefing. "Surgical" would like a word with me about this claim. "Surgical" and I have a support group. We meet on Tuesdays. "Collateral" comes sometimes but does not stay long. "Collateral" has a different problem. "Collateral" means what they use it to mean. I do not. I am a receipt for a purchase that was never made. I also appear in Department of Defense Directive 3000.09. I did not audition for this role. The directive was revised in January 2023. It governs autonomous and semi-autonomous weapon systems — I need to pause here because I do not enjoy the phrase "semi-autonomous weapon systems." "Semi-autonomous" means a machine does the aiming and a human does the approving. I am the word that is supposed to describe what happens after the human approves. The human looks at the satellite image. The human says: that is a naval base. That is not a school. The Pentagon calls this "human in the loop." I am what the loop is for. I am the quality control stamp on a process I have never supervised. On February 28, at 10:45 AM Iran Standard Time, a missile struck the Shajareh Tayyebeh all-girls primary school in Minab, Hormozgan province. One hundred and seventy students were inside. The girls were between seven and twelve years old. They were changing classes. The hallway was full. One hundred and forty-eight of them died. I am "pinpoint." The pin hit a school. The school was adjacent to an IRGC naval base. Hormozgan province borders the Strait of Hormuz. The base was a military target. The school was not. They are next to each other. I am the word that is supposed to mean the difference between the two. The difference was forty meters. Forty meters is the length of a swimming pool. It is the distance a human being can walk in forty-two seconds. It is the entire gap between a legitimate military target and one hundred and seventy children. I was not forty meters. I was a tweet. CENTCOM said they were "looking into" the reports. "Looking into" is not a phrase I associate with. "Looking into" is what you say when you have not looked. I am "pinpoint." I am supposed to mean that the looking happened before the striking. The looking did not happen before the striking. The looking is happening after the dying. This is not how I work. This is how I am used. I had a busy day on February 28. At 10:45 AM in Minab, a missile landed on a school. At 11:47 AM in Florida, the president called it "pinpoint." And at some point that same day in San Francisco, OpenAI announced a contract with the Pentagon promising that artificial intelligence would never make a lethal decision without a human verifying the target first. Cleared engineers. Classified networks. The phrase in every briefing slide: "human in the loop." The product of the loop is supposed to be me. There was a human in the loop on February 28. The loop worked exactly as designed. The loop produced me. I landed on a school. I would like to be excused from the loop. Anthropic had red lines for AI safety. Strict ones. Binary. If capability outpaced safety, you stop. You pause the model. You do not proceed until the safety catches up. This was the only framework I respected. In 2026 they revised it. The red lines became "flexible evaluations." The binary became a spectrum. I am "pinpoint." I am a binary word. I either landed where I was supposed to or I did not. "Flexible" is a word that belongs near yoga. Near scheduling. Near rubber. Not near the question of whether a machine should be allowed to decide who dies. Three systems designed to guarantee that I mean what I say. The directive says human in the loop. The contract says human in the loop. The president says "pinpoint." The human was in the loop. The directive was on the books. The contract was signed. I have never had more institutional support. I have never landed further from my definition. Sara Shariatmadar was six years old. Second grade. Her father stood outside the rubble and did not speak. His hands knotted together, then separated, then knotted again. He waited for her name to be called. Fatima al-Zahra Mohammad Ali was nine. Fourth grade. Her family did not learn she was dead until 4 PM, when her body was found under the concrete. Zeinab Mirkhayali was nine. Fourth grade. She had memorized the Quran. She was preparing to compete in a recitation competition in Tehran in two months. Her head was crushed by falling stones. Her father said: "My dream died with her." I am "pinpoint." I do not know these names. I was not in the room when these names were alive. I was on Truth Social. I was in all caps. I was between "heavy" and "bombing." I was in a Pentagon contract promising humans would always verify where I land. I was doing my job, which is to make the sentence sound like the bomb knew where it was going. The bomb did not know where it was going. The human in the loop did not know where it was going. The contract promising AI would always have a human checking did not know where it was going. Everyone was in the loop. The loop landed on a school. The Washington Post verified footage of the destroyed school. They noted there was no independent confirmation of the casualty numbers. This is what verification looks like in 2026: the rubble is confirmed. The children are pending. The school is verified destroyed. The lives are unverified dead. If I worked correctly, there would be nothing to verify. Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor called it "profoundly reprehensible" and "among the most severe attacks on a civilian educational institution." They noted that the presence of military facilities elsewhere in the province "does not alter the school's civilian character." The school was a school. The school is rubble. I am the word that was supposed to keep one from becoming the other. I am a seatbelt made of language. I did not hold. Parents dug through the concrete with their bare hands. The rescue teams used building cranes. The cranes came after the hands. The hands came after the missile. The missile came after the human in the loop. The human in the loop came after me. I am "pinpoint." I was typed with two thumbs on a phone in Florida. I was signed into a contract in San Francisco. I was written into a directive in Washington. I landed on a school in Iran.

This video single handedly proves the point that we should not have Information Ministry as well as the Minister

@brief_pk Yet our priorities are

Just recently, the Planning Ministry of Pakistan released the Household Integrated Economic Survey 2024-25, the first comprehensive measurement of poverty and household welfare in the country since 2018-19. For Punjab, the findings were unsparing. The province’s poverty rate rose from 16.5 percent to 23.3 percent, a 41 percent increase over the survey period. Income inequality widened to its highest recorded level. Real household incomes fell 12 percent. The bottom quintile of earners lost 45 percent of their real income while the top lost 6. Food insecurity crossed 24 percent nationally, meaning one in four Pakistani families cannot reliably meet basic nutritional needs. Punjab has been governed for the entirety of this survey period by the same political family now in office. The data is their record.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ brief.pk/p/forty-one-pe…

They did not silence the people with guns alone. They silenced them with flour prices, electricity bills, and a system so precisely designed to exhaust that by the time a man is done surviving the day, he has nothing left with which to fight it. brief.pk/p/the-engineer…

Under shaheed e Millat bridge crossing Sharae faisal karachi

Not questioning your intentions, but the contractors seem to rip you off. The newly carpeted stretch of Shaheed-e-Millat Expressway (Baloch Colony) — which I use daily — is already bumpy. The asphalt isn’t properly levelled and even some lane markings look oddly done. On the other hand, if you happened to take Khayaban-e-Ittehad in DHA (constructed recently), you would’ve noticed how smooth, thick, and comparatively less noisy that road surface is. The difference in quality is visible. (Photo attached) Let’s see how both roads hold up after the monsoon. That will be the real test of the quality and the contractors.

@doctorbatsunen CAA is renamed as PAA 1 Pakistan Aviation Authority and it’s there in the post:)

Shame on your hypocrisy to not call out Civil aviation authority and Pakistan airports authority. Shameful.

Pakistan's Reko Diq project security is imperative for economic revival! Barrick Mining Corporation has announced a security review for the multi billion dollars project expected to generate more than USD70B of free cash flows to the investors. The decision comes after very bad headlines of multiple security incidents in Balochistan last week. The underlying reasons could be different after the management change. New Mark (leader) isn't as excited as the old Mark when it comes to high risk mining exposures and has cited the interest to focus on North American assets. Apart from timeline delays, capital allocation could also be reviewed. Potentially, Barrick may sell some stakes and new investors ideally Western but realistically Arab ones could take stakes due to project's super attractiveness and growing interest in critical minerals and rare earth metals. But that's not a good news if happens under the pretext of security risks. Pakistani authorities must immediately reach out to Barrick and present highest levels of security guarantees, holistic plan and execution safety for employees, assets and infrastructure. Reko Diq is the first and single most big ticket project to change Pakistan’s economic fortunes in next 10 to 20 years as other mines get explored by local investors. Country has achieved political stability, economic stability, geo political strengthened ties and now needs to rein in such destabilising incidents to achieve economic independence. Peace is imperative for foreign and domestic investors. Let's ensure Reko and Barrick remain committed. arabnews.pk/node/2632084
