@AsjadBukhari1 @MirMAli The flip side of this, supposedly, bold and creative initiative was that many societal vices became acceptable via humor ☹️

In Pakistani media history 1970s marked the first time state-owned PTV began questioning bureaucracy through light humor and satire. #TalMatol_PTV #PTV_Classic

@kalsoom82 @Invest2Innovate @i2i_ventures @MizNaQ Wow, it's been 15 years - we first met about 15 years ago in Karachi at some conference at Habib University - and you told me about what you were setting out to do. Thanks for the dedication, focus, and all the great work you do!!

👋 friends. Some news: After 15 years of supporting & strengthening Pakistan's startup ecosystem, @Invest2Innovate , the org I founded in 2011, is shutting its doors and closing this chapter. (Just so it's clear 😅: @i2i_ventures, the VC fund I run w/ @MizNaQ, is still very much alive & continuing forward.) This news might feel bittersweet to some, but we wanted to celebrate the legacy of what Invest2Innovate has achieved in the past 15 years: supporting 1200+ founders, 190+ entrepreneurial support orgs in Pakistan & the region, training 200+ angel investors, releasing detailed insights & data-driven reports benchmarking Pakistan's startup ecosystem & its growth, and work that extended beyond PK -- Bangladesh, Nepal, Cambodia, Vietnam, Iraq, Lebanon & more./

Nothing will fix Pakistan’s economy unless this suffocating, predatory and intellectually bankrupt taxation regime is torn down and replaced with a fair, rational and growth-driven system. This is not taxation, it is economic strangulation.
Najam Ali@najam_ali

I have made an attempt to calculate the Total Economic Tax Burden of various countries and compared it with Pakistan. You can see we have put our citizens under crushing burden of taxes and inflation. I had promised @shazbkhanzdaGEO to calculate it.

Orbital views of Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The bright spot in the center is the Kaaba, Islam's holiest site, visible even from space.

@Hassan_A_Niazi The pathetic state of the people does not point to any balance achieved at the political and government level. Nothing has worked!!!

This amendment is not about efficiency or reform. It is about control. It dismantles the balance that was achieved by the 18th amendment and creates an authoritarian constitutional scheme.

There is so much wrong with the 27th amendment that a thread is necessary before the government's spin doctor's begin trying to fool people. This proposal marks the gravest attack on judicial independence and civil supremacy since Pakistan's return to democracy. 🧵

So long as Pakistanis with dual nationalities declare their global income in Pakistan and pay the net taxes in Pakistan - they should get voting rights in Pakistan.

@MehlaqaCAPJ Maybe we should build an organization #Political_Forces - much like the Armed Forces - but totally focusing on developing politicians. Similar to an Arts/Performing Academy or any other vocational school. Worldwide, lawyers and wealthy businessman have taken over politics....
