@xmubashir Pakistani motorcyclists' aversion to using indicators is one of the great mysteries of this country.

Motorcyclists in Pakistan have a death wish. This is routine, cutting across highways through these self-made median cuts, no signal, not even looking at oncoming traffic. Just yesterday a speeding car in front of me barely avoided two riders doing exactly this.

Chachu Nadeem PIDE walay positioned himself for years as an untiring champion against corruption, bureaucracy/DMG, while he was squatting, all along, in a building that is emblematic of the systemic graft, corruption/elite-capture that he's been waging an imaginary Jihad against!

@Napoha_ Another exhibit of a major disease afflicting the Pakistani polity: the split loyalties of many of its citizens.

The absolute irony of Baqir Mian calling out his countrymen while he himself has been acting like a shill for the regime in Iran.
The point made in the tweet only holds if Baqir had himself a reliable narrator.
Which he has NOT BEEN.
Baqir Sajjad@baqirsajjad
Surprised by how some in Pakistan have taken offense at Iranians refusing dialogue unless the US lifts its blockade. Wasn’t Pakistan supposed to be neutral in this?

@RizWanKenobi_ Pakistan's rich have never been interested in fixing the country's problems: they lust only after bovine comfort and foreign passports.

For me the worst thing about the solar revolution is that it insulates the rich from all the electricity issues, so they have no incentive in fixing the system. The poor can neither afford solar nor own property to install it on. It's expensive to be poor.

Peshawar rooftops covered with solar panels because of extreme loadshedding. Pakhtunkhwa produces 5600 MW electricity while demand is 3000 MW. We generate MORE than we consume. Yet Pashtuns still suffer because our power is sent to national grid instead of helping local needs.

@policytensor Nor can you ever become a great power with an infantile attitude towards neighbouring countries. Not many cases, maybe none, of mass hysteria on such a scale.
English
You can’t be a great power without boldness, without the willingness to stand up to bullies.
Sushant Singh@SushantSin
At a time when so many Indian analysts, columnists and thinktankers justify India's timidity and pusillanimity as strategic pragmatism and what not, @suhasinih is asking the Modi govt to develop a spine and draw a red line on unilateral US sanctions.

@Sajidaminjaved Also, the huge amount of speculative activity currently in the Iranian Rial is being handled entirely by the parallel black market. Legal exchange companies don't deal in Iranian rial. So much for the SBP's writ.
English
@Sajidaminjaved The parallel black market is thriving at the moment. It pays sellers 3-5 rupees extra per dollar. As for buyers, try to purchase 3-5k dollars from any exchange company: you will be refused 9/10 times.
Institutions asleep at the wheel as usual. Or complicit.
English
Exchange rate must not be any on’s wish.
Simply, its is price of currency that must be adjusting to economic fundamentals.
Accumulating depreciation by ad hock overvaluations is dangerous and we have paid huge price in form step fall and parallel black currency markets.
Shahbaz Rana@81ShahbazRana
Central bank implies 5% currency depreciation based on the REER that is shared below. But experts like @ashfaqtola and DPM Ishaq Dar believe rupee should be more stronger. The Tola Associates sees value at Rs251 and it has demanded that The SBP must present the pricing model rather than merely providing the REER notional value.

@70sBachchan You know Robin doesn’t actually think that, it’s just pure cynicism and signalling.

"And if the United States is now the world's biggest oil and gas producer, are we just a "gas station masquerading as a country"? Or does our more diversified economy somehow make us a real country?"
Co-sign, these phrases drive me crazy.
Emma Ashford@EmmaMAshford
This phrase drives me crazy. What does it mean to say "a gas station masquerading as a country"? Does it mean that the millions of people who live in these states don't have lives, hopes, preferences? That any state whose primary export is oil is meaningless?
English
@dmuthuk Knowing what is going on in the world, I expected better from you.
One thing is certain, due to the small-mindedness of Indians such as yourself, there is no chance that India will become a 'superpower' in this century. Keep dreaming.

The second US Iran summit is likely to take place in Pakistan early next week.
The first summit happened in Islamabad Serena Hotel. Hotel spent lot of money for hosting the summit. The hotel owner is telling press no one has paid for the cost incurred by him for summit. In simple words, nobody is settling the bill.
These are usual Pakistani things.

@mirzaiqbal80 Another red flag is that all payments have to be by cash: no cards or wallet transfers.
English
TCS was once known as a reliable and fast courier service in Pakistan, gaining the trust of countless customers. However, over time, their service quality has significantly declined. Despite charging a premium for their deliveries, the service they now provide falls far below expectations. Customers are increasingly frustrated with delays, poor tracking, and inconsistent delivery standards. It’s disheartening to see such a reputable company lose its edge, especially when customers continue to pay a hefty price for services that no longer meet the standards they once promised.

@faraz_lhr Mr Naqvi is in charge of the FIA and seems not to know that many top officials of FIA take monthlies from hundi/hawala/illegal currency operators all across the country to allow them to operate.
English
Mohsin Naqvi tells businessmen he is aware of the money they laundered abroad under his watch. Requests them to "use an app"/invest in Roshan Digital atleast 30% of the amount. Threatens them if they dont. Peak unintentional comedy x.com/AsadAToor/stat…

Interior Minister @MohsinnaqviC42 called on the business community to bring back “20-30 per cent” of their wealth to Pakistan ahead of the upcoming budget. dawn.com/news/1991683

Loved a lot of the elements of this speech from @MohsinnaqviC42.
Pakistan needs to take actionable steps to create a whole new generation of business leaders. This will only happen with availability of institutional entrepreneurial finance. There is no other way. Otherwise we will have the same community that has a monopoly on capital.

This announcement came as a shock for everyone. Why :
1. First the amount of 100 billion dollars. Staggering by any standards. No one ever knew Pakistan was that rich. That comes to literally 3 billion per month every single month over 3 years.
2. If my understanding is correct this is money laundering? What does it say about our controls, systems & all those institutions which are supposed to control and under whose watch such a staggering amount continued for 3 years.
3. Just as a reminder, our total IMF loan is only 7 billion dollars spread over 3 years. And as a condition of this loan, IMF controls literally all our financial / economic decisions. Why would we need IMF if we have so much abundance of dollars?
English
@Real_MZubair All networks and individuals engaged in illegal transfer of money abroad and FX trading are thriving despite dumb SBP actions in recent years. The FIA is also complicit.
Go and try to purchase a significant amount of FX from an exchnage company and 9/10 times they will refuse.

Imagine the number of Pakistanis who have landed at an airport globally in last 24 hours for pure orchestrated propaganda from Pakistan. No credibility. No honesty. Most of Pakistani population haven’t seen an airport abroad in their life and don’t even have a passport.
