Some Ganja Supporters "Still Insist" That He Did Not "Rip Off" The Paki Exchequer . And He Paid All Family Related Expenses Out Of His Own Pocket !

Journalist posts PM house ‘outstanding bills’ as proof Nawaz Sharif paid PM house expenses, but there’s a catch

Everything in Pakiland is "clear as mud " , including IMO, Imran Khan's so-called austerity drive. :mrgreen: In the attached farticle, a Paki Journo bats for Ganja , showing pictures of some cancelled cheques as "proof" that Ganja paid his family's expenses out of his own pocket. You need a forensic accountant, (preferably foreign ) IMO, to untangle this simple mess :twisted:

China offers to play ‘constructive role’ in improving Pakistan-India ties

BEIJING: China said it was willing to play a constructive role in easing relations between Pakistan and India as Beijing welcomed the "positive" remarks of Prime Minister Imran Khan and his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi on improving bilateral ties. Begani Shadi mein Chinawala Diwana!

"We have noted relevant reports and we welcome the positive remarks made by the Indian and Pakistani leaders on improving bilateral relations," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said said while replying to a question on the statements made by the two leaders soon after Imran Khan's inauguration as Prime Minister.

"Both Pakistan and India are important countries in South Asia - Equal = Equal! - China firmly supports the two sides to enhance dialogue to increase mutual trust, properly handle (disputes) and solve their differences," Mr Lu said.

China hopes the two countries can jointly stay committed to regional peace and development, he said. "China is willing to play a constructive role in this aspect," he added.

On August 20, Indian Prime Minister Modi sent a letter to Imran Khan, conveying that New Delhi was looking for constructive and meaningful engagement with Islamabad.

In a tweet yesterday Imran Khan said that Pakistan was ready to re-start the stalled India-Pakistan peace process and said the two countries must engage in dialogue to resolve their differences, including on the Kashmir issue, and start trade.

Asked what he meant by China playing a constructive role, Mr Lu said, "I said we are glad to see the positive remarks made by the India and Pakistan on improving their bilateral relations and all their efforts that are conducive to the improvement of the relations and the peace and stability in the region. We welcome that. We will play a constructive role in that aspect."

Imran Govt May Not Find It That Easy To Convince The Swiss Govt To Part With $ 200 Billion That Allegedly Belongs To The Paki Nation :twisted:

PTI government may face setback to bring back $200 billion looted money from Switzerland
Aug 22, 2018
ISLAMABAD - PM Imran Khan led government may face a setback in bringing back looted money from Switzerland .
Switzerland has yet to ratify the revised convention on Avoidance of Double Taxation with Pakistan, which is delaying the exchange of information between the two countries.
Switzerland's whole economy is based on the principle of secrecy ( and client confidentiality ) and giving shelter to black money which has found its way into Swiss Treasury . Even the United States, with its clout , had trouble collecting - on behalf of the legal Jewish heirs - Jewish Gold, Monies And Treasures looted and salted away in Swiss Banks by the Nazis before and during WWII . After tremendous legal (and political pressure on Swiss Govt ) effort they succeeded ! What are the chances of Pakiland succeeding in this regard . Almost nil, IMO . So, Imran should look forward to the "dealer of the last resort" IMF ! :twisted:

Exiled Journo Taha Siddiqui Cautions Imran That The Fauj May Clip His Wing, If He Goes Too Far In Exercising His PM Authority :mrgreen:

Can Pakistan PM Imran Khan Keep Promises With Army Watching Over?
Taha Siddiqui
Aug 21, 2018
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s first address to the nation is being welcomed by all, even his opponents, because PM Khan hit almost all the right notes when he unveiled the plan for his five-year rule. From alleviating poverty to tackling a failing economy to addressing education woes, Khan appears to understand many of the issues Pakistan faces today.
But if one looks beyond his grand promises to transform Pakistan into a social welfare state, it all appears to be rhetoric, and many before Khan have propagated similar promises but have never delivered.
We will have to wait and see whether he delivers on these pledges but we should not forget how the previous provincial government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, that was run by Khan’s political party, has nothing to show when it comes to progress. Even after five years of Khan’s government there, the province today continues to face similar issues of unemployment, infrastructural weakness and corruption.
But it not what Khan addressed that is of bigger concern, but rather what he omitted from his speech that is more telling of how things may not change for the better in Pakistan.
The newly-elected PM chose not to elaborate on rising extremism and radicalism in the country, and did not outline how his government will deal with foreign and security policy issues.
Let’s first analyse why Imran Khan did not talk about ever-growing extremism and its consequence as terrorism in Pakistan, and in the region – because he does not believe this is a domestic, home-grown issue.
Khan, who was once considered a liberal progressive, has in recent years shown a streak of conservatism and hyper-nationalism, by blaming Pakistan’s terrorism troubles on international players, particularly the United States. He has come out as an apologist for militant groups, calling them ‘misunderstood’. His last provincial government funded a madrassa known to have links with the Taliban. Recently he also used blasphemy accusations to win the right-wing vote against his rival and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. He also has openly shown disregard for religious minorities and women.
He claims that he has turned "Sufist" due to the influence of his current wife !
A large majority of his followers are Pakistani youth who have narrow-minded ideas about Pakistan being under attack from international powers, due to what they are fed by a controlled school curriculum and the media. Khan continues to dangerously reinforce such propaganda, instead of enlightening the youth with introspection. He has chosen to further strengthen conspiracies, resulting in a youth population that offers no hope for change, but rather intellectual degradation. The youthia is expecting too much from The Kaptaan IMO !
Now, the reason for his second omission – not talking about foreign and security policy – it is pretty straight-forward. These two policy areas are dominated and controlled by the Pakistan Army who do not want any civilian interference in such matters. Even though many of the issues Pakistan faces today emanate from this civil-military imbalance, Khan chose to not address it at all.
Right now, is the honeymoon phase !
It is common knowledge in Pakistan how the military creates and props up political parties which are often referred to as the King’s party to continue being in the driving seat when it comes to running Pakistan as a security state.
And this time around, Khan’s PTI (Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf which translates to Movement of Justice) is being called the new ‘King’s’ party, ie, the choice for the military establishment that has overtly run Pakistan for half of its existence and covertly disrupted democracy for the other half. And indication of this is the newly-announced Cabinet by Khan, which consists of the majority of those ministers who were close to the last Pakistani military dictator General Pervez Musharraf.
Pakistan’s political history is full of such politicians brought into power by the Pakistan Army and then soon dismissed, forced into exile and even executed.
There are reports that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has written a letter to Khan to initiate a peace dialogue. Will Khan reciprocate? Will he go independent of the military narrative when it comes to India?
However, the Pakistani Generals have always been quick at reminding civilians that they have no independence when it comes to reforming the Pakistani military or addressing their flawed foreign and security policies.
And if suddenly there are leaks (to the media) about Khan’s corrupt practices – it will mean the end of Khan’s honeymoon period.The military is known for such tactics to push politicians into submission by maintaining a record of their “skeletons in the closet” and revealing them only when necessary. We might also see the judiciary being activated against Khan, and eventually he may meet the same fate as others who have challenged the military in the past – being sent home packing before their time ends in office.
Right now, The Khan is focused on the domestic front . Arranging for loan monies to sort out Pakiland's debt and liquidity problems. He has high hopes of repatriating the so-called looted money back from oversees, and from Swiss Banks ( chances are almost nil IMO !) , asking oversees Paki to come back and invest here ( they may not heed this ) and rooting out corruption in the country ( is he going to focus on fauji corruption as well . I doubt this !) . He may find out that he has inherited a headache !!!

Arab Journo Cautions The Khan Against Siding With Iran Against Saudia !

Imran must choose between Saudi Arabia and Iran
Abdulrahman Al-Rashed
Arab News
Aug 21, 2018
Pakistanis are celebrating Eid and a new prime minister. Imran Khan was a famous cricketer and a well-liked figure, but politics requires different skills than sport.Religion is a winning game for some, and here he has been trying to play it, despite his liberal and secular background. In public speeches, he attacks the West and the Western model, while he has two sons from his marriage to his British Jewish former wife. Before his swearing-in ceremony, Khan asked his two sons not to attend out of fear for their lives. Indeed, everything in his first career was Western, as he played for English teams and graduated from Oxford University.
What is the point of drudging up his so-called western background :roll:

Like a number of Third World leaders, his supporters also promote popular news and images about him. Furthermore, he canceled the lavish lunch at the inauguration ceremony, saying he wanted to help reduce the budget deficit, and promised to sell the state cars of government officials. Such an image gives a positive impression that is commensurate with his electoral promises, and contrasts with the image of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who was recently sentenced to 10 years in prison for corruption.
Today, Pakistan remains an important country. It is the second most populous Muslim country after Indonesia, a nuclear power, and possesses the eighth largest army in the world. Pakistan is also important in regional calculations, as Saudi Arabia and Iran have been fiercely competing to win it over. Globally, too, Pakistan has been an object of ongoing competition between China and the US.
The First Islami Atomi Takat , located in a so called "strategic part of the world " !
Although there has been recurrent talk of a close relationship between Khan and Iran, based on his previous statements, we cannot judge politicians out of power. Whatever is said, Pakistan's relationship with Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Gulf states remains deep and firm, regardless of who governs it. Let us not forget that the same thing was said about the late Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, but she proved that she never sided with Iran. Saudi Arabia, besides being the heart of the Muslim world, has the largest Pakistani community abroad, and its trade balance with it is greater.
The author, himself an Arab, is obviously "pimping" for Saudia :mrgreen:
Moreover, we should not forget that both Saudi Arabia and Pakistan share a special relationship with the US; while the relationship with Iran is no longer an option, because the PM cannot override US sanctions.
Pimping for Saudia, Part 2 !
Regardless of the internal considerations that were pushing the new PM to give such statements, it is hoped that the relationship with Pakistan will be further developed, and given a greater role in resolving regional issues, such as Afghanistan, and putting pressure to bear on Iran to stop its interference in Pakistan itself, as well as in the region. :roll:
Khan, coming from a different background to the former prime ministers, has an opportunity to develop his country's position in the Gulf; improve its balance of payments and economy by implementing a genuine reform program in cooperation with countries like his allies in the Gulf; and engage in mutually beneficial and sustainable projects.
Author is asking Imran to "cold shoulder" Iran !
In fact, we are not worried about Iran now. It cannot even get enough gasoline for its markets, despite being an oil producer. Tehran’s rulers today have enough problems to keep them busy, and the future looks even graver. In these changing circumstances, Pakistan has to play a more important role, as it is already a major regional player and must double the pressure on Iran to change its foreign policy. This will enhance Pakistan's role in the Middle East and South Asia; but, if it does not, it will not be able to play the opposite role.
Again, cautioning Immy to get NOT too cosy with Iran !

Pakistan Has No Option But To "Go Begging" To IMF Says The Financial Times Of London :mrgreen:

Imran Khan must reform Pakistan’s rent-seeking economy
Financial Times - Yousuf Nazar
Aug 22, 2018
Pakistan will almost certainly go to the IMF to finance its ballooning current account deficit, which has grown to nearly 6 per cent of gross domestic product from just 1.7 per cent in 2016. Meanwhile, the Pakistani rupee has lost 15 per cent in value against the US dollar in the past 12 months.
he IMF may place strict conditions on any bailout, which would come against the backdrop of Pakistan’s strained relations with the US. This will be the most serious challenge facing the newly elected prime minister, Imran Khan, who has been a vocal critic of American policies in Pakistan and its prosecution of the war on terror in neighbouring Afghanistan

Jalebi As "Human Rights" "Minister" Comes Out Swinging In Favour Of PBUH

Shireen Mazari condemns blasphemous cartoon competition
The News International
Aug 20, 2018
ISLAMABAD: Federal Human Rights Minister Dr Shireen Mazari on Monday strongly condemned the decision of Dutch authorities to indulge one of its parliamentarians and provide him space to exhibit blasphemous cartoons of our Prophet (PBUH), which injured the sentiments of Muslims across the globe.In a press statement after taking oath as federal minister, Dr Mazari said this action was a clear violation of the human rights of Muslims in Europe as this action is in violation of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
Clean up your own backyard in KP and Baluchistan first in your capacity as HR Minister !
While guaranteeing Freedom of Expression, Article 10 of this Convention states: Everyone has the right to freedom of expression.
Apart from The Netherlands, other EU countries are also not only signatories to this European Convention but have limitations placed on the abuse of freedom of expression enshrined in their own Constitutions. For example Article 11 of the French Constitution states inter alia, that: “Every citizen may, accordingly, speak, write and print with freedom, but shall be responsible for such abuses of this freedom as shall be defined by law.”
She hoped the Europeans would also evolve a sense of justice, fair play and respect for their Muslim minorities that they preach so avidly to others. We are committed to ensuring the rights enshrined in our Constitution for all citizens including our non-Muslim citizens. We would like to see the EU members do the same.”
Talk is cheap !

Imran Khan's appeal for dialogue is duplicitous and insincere: No point in talks unless terrorism is on table
First Post
Sreemoy Talukdar
Aug 22, 2018
Posted in full
In cricket, the reverse swing is a high art. It requires talent and practice. When the ball gets old and stops swinging in the air, one side of the cherry is roughed up a little so that it starts swinging again — only in the reverse, causing batsmen deep distress. Imran Khan was a master of reverse swing during his playing days. If his call for “dialogue” and “trade” with India is any indication, he hasn’t forgotten the art.
Imran might be a freshly minted prime minister of ‘Naya Pakistan’, but he is a battered old cherry in politics. He bounced around the rocky terrain of Pakistani politics for two decades with little success. No one took him seriously. But Imran gritted his teeth and persevered as he did during his student days, slowly adjusting to cricket, climate and life in England.
Two decades is a long time in politics. It is enough to teach valuable lessons to those willing to learn. Imran eventually rang in a series of changes on the personal and professional front. He felt that to get closer to power in Pakistan, he must shed his flamboyance and (at least publicly) gravitate towards religious conservatism.
It has worked !
The globe-trotting, Oxford bred Imran’s curious private and political choices reflect this trend. He started pandering to the right-wing extremist political constituency in Pakistan and tapped into popular anti-Americanism sentiment through invective rhetoric against US ‘war on terror’. The Donald Trump administration’s series of decisions to penalise Pakistan for its duplicity on terrorism gave further ammo.
His stance on India underwent a sea change. Imran had proposed a joint civil nuclear programme to solve both countries’ energy shortage. That was in 2013. In 2018, Imran knew better. During the election campaign that propelled him to power, he ran a vicious anti-Indian campaign. He sprang elaborate conspiracy theories and termed his political rivals as “Indian agents”. He warmed up to the gaggle of ultra-Islamist parties (Pakistan military establishment’s effort at mainstreaming terror groups) and started courting the country’s most powerful institution — its army. The ball started to reverse. Imran’s fortunes brightened.
This also worked !
Corruption was another one of his key poll planks. Imran painted his rivals as the epitome of graft (with some help from the judiciary and military establishment) and projected himself as the ‘honest crusader’ who will end the culture of loot and bring glory to Pakistan. Imran has been at pains to proclaim that personal probity of leaders is enough to nurse the country back to health.
This may satisfy his urban, pro-military base but an oversimplification of ills points to two things. One, Imran is unlikely to try and implement the structural and ideological changes that Pakistan urgently needs. Two, he would rather bank on false narratives to double down on denial.
As Hudson Institute director and former Pakistan ambassador to the US Husain Haqqani writes in The Print, “Fulmination against corruption has become the economic equivalent of conspiracy theories explaining the country’s insecurity. In popular sentiment, just as conspiracies have made Pakistan weak and vulnerable, its destined economic greatness has been thwarted by corruption, not poor policy choices… Even after Khan has improved garbage collection and put all his ‘corrupt’ opponents on trial, Pakistan’s debts won’t see a drop and exports and remittances will continue to fall short.”
But even as a ‘crusader against corruption’, Imran’s image is bogus. He ran a relentless campaign against politicians whom he accused of being corrupt but showed no qualms in tying up with them later to bring votes.
The so-called electables, who now grace the National and Provincial Assemblies !
As Mehreen Zahra-Malik writes in Foreign Policy, “Despite Khan’s famous stubbornness, he’s been quite willing to ditch former loyalists such as Ali Muhammad Khan and Shaukat Yousafzai in favor of more electable candidates such as Sardar Ghulam Abbas and Khusro Bakhtiar to boost his party’s chances. However sincere his positions may be, it is clear that he is capable of intelligent, even cynical, calculations about power.”
It is in this context that we must place Imran’s hand of ‘friendship’ towards India. Imran is no friend of India. Above all else, he is in no position to change or even slightly alter Pakistan’s security and foreign policies that remain firmly within the domain of the powerful military.
It is delusional to assume that a man who has rode piggyback on the army’s shoulders to power will be able to — much less willing to — militate against the military establishment or challenge its hegemony in shaping Pakistan’s foreign policy. If this bit is clear, what should India talk about with prime minister Imran, who in reality is just the glorified mayor of Pakistan? What should be the agenda? Clearing the garbage on the streets of Karachi?
Moreover, a wafer-thin Parliamentary majority (176 votes in 342-member Lower House) will ensure that Imran remains forever beholden to the army’s machinations. Conversely, Rawalpindi will be happy to have ushered in a civilian government that will remain tied to its bootstraps. How does this arrangement affect foreign policy, or is relevant to the debate about India-Pakistan relations?
Nawaz Sharif, in his third stint as prime minister, enjoyed greater numerical strength in Parliament compared to Imran. The PML-N chief still failed to effect even a slight change in Pakistan’s stance towards India. The army sabotaged his every effort to normalise bilateral ties. Sharif eventually paid the price for trying to alter the army’s strategy of using terror as a foreign policy tool.
When a relatively powerful civilian administration failed to normalise ties with India, what are the chances of a weaker administration succeeding in that mission? That is, assuming, that a leader who has been “selected” by the army wants to suddenly turn against his all-powerful benefactor. The chances are negligible.
On the contrary, the army will be in a greater position to arm-twist Imran on India. In another piece for The Washington Post, Mehreen Zahra-Mailk writes, “If he (Imran) has indeed come into power with the help of the military, and there is much evidence that he has, then it is likely that the military will want its pound of flesh. He will need its help in finding allies and cutting deals, and the military will want even more space to control foreign and economic policy (with a 1.1 trillion rupee defense budget out of a total budget outlay of 5.9 trillion, no one cares more than the Pakistan army about what happens to the economy).”
It is certain that Imran will be disinterested in addressing the issues that plague bilateral relations in all sincerity. His recent “peace overture” towards India is the wily, old Imran bowling some reverse-swinging deliveries at New Delhi.
In his tweet, calling for resumption of “trade and dialogue” with India, Imran deftly sidestepped the only issue that must be addressed before all other issues are brought to the table — Pakistan’s role in nurturing, sponsoring and exporting terror to India.
Behind the virtue-signaling lies Imran’s attempt to shift the onus of resuming talks (and normalising ties) on India. It is a clever move aimed at absolving Pakistan’s crimes and pretending that all that stops the nuclear neighbours from talking to each other is New Delhi’s “obtuseness”. In floating the narrative, Imran no doubt feels that virtue-signaling on dialogue will earn him a few brownie points in Washington. The former cricketer (perhaps willfully) forgets that talks cannot resume unless the precondition is met. The terms are clear.
:mrgreen: I would opine and say that Imran's Naya Pakistan is not possible without peace with India - on India's terms !
In the congratulatory letter sent to Islamabad, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has stressed on the need to make the Indian subcontinent “free of terror and violence”, which remains India’s core position on talks. In the letter, according to a report in The Indian Express, Modi “recalled their telephone conversation (with Imran), in which they spoke of their shared vision to bring peace, security and prosperity in the Indian subcontinent, in order to make it free of terror and violence, and to focus on development”.
On terror, Imran’s silence has spoken louder than words. It reminds India (or ought to) that there has been no change in Pakistan’s fundamental position on terror. It once again underlines the truism that change of guard in Pakistan’s civilian administration has no bearing on bilateral ties.
To quote from ORF senior fellow Sushant Sareen’s piece in DailyO, “There is absolutely nothing on the ground to suggest any change in Pakistan’s policy, viciousness, virulence, or pugnacity towards India. In fact, by allowing internationally proscribed terrorist organisations like Lashkar-e-Taiba to contest the general elections in violation of the commitments under the UNSC resolutions and FATF, and turning a blind eye to the huge facility being constructed by the Jaish-e-Mohammad in South Punjab, the message the Pakistanis have been sending is that India can stuff its policy on ‘talks and terror cannot go together’.”
Short of acknowledging the core issue, “dialogue process” can only mean one thing. Pakistan wants to start “talks” with India on Kashmir on its own terms. In Imran’s first televised address following election victory, his identification of Kashmir as the “core issue” and focus on “human rights violations” indicates that the Naya Pakistan founder will throw Pakistan army’s tired, old playbook towards India.
But Imran’s 'reverse swing' goes further. His address showed a willingness to equate Pakistan’s subversive terror policy and asymmetric war against India on Kashmir with its fictitious narrative about India’s involvement in Balochistan. In his rants against Pakistan being the “victim” of terrorism was an attempt to seek equanimity with India on terror.
As former foreign secretary Kanwal Sibal writes in Hindustan Times, “Khan is equating longstanding Pakistani support for terrorism against India with Pakistan’s concocted narrative about India’s activities in Baluchistan. His effort to evade responsibility on terrorism and making the issue reciprocal needs proper understanding: Pakistan wants parity with India even on culpability for terrorism.”
Imran’s compulsions in calling for resumption of trade isn’t difficult to understand. He has been handed a debt-ridden bankrupt country that is squeezed between a rock and a hard place. A choice has to be made between swallowing IMF’s bitter pill or go under more Chinese debt. He hopes to alleviate some pressure by improving trade ties. Imran must try harder. Genuine rapprochement is impossible amid duplicity and doublespeak. Sorry Imran, your reverse swing won’t work here. :mrgreen:

:barf: Image Headline is a pretty obvious conclusion as in the Nehru-Gandhi family fiefdom of what is the Congress Party, nothing that does not have the blessing of the Nehuru-Gandhi family can move forward. Very irresponsible of Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi to allow their Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu to hob nob with POK “President” and hug the Chief Uniformed Jihadi of the Army of the Mohammadden Terrorism Fomenting Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

Let me hope that the electorate of Punjab which has contributed so much to our Army shows Sidhu the middle finger come re-election time while the rest of India changes channel every time he comes on as compere or commentator.

Meanwhile “Uninterrupted and Uninterruptible dialogue “ Mani Shankar Iyer has been readmitted back into the Congress Party.

Navjot Singh Sidhu standing by his conduct in Pakistan indicates support from Congress leadership:

One never knows what is wearing a burqa / burka / niqab. Enough cases have been posted here on BRF of males hiding under a burqa. So rather than a Peerni aka Pirni there could very well be a Peer aka Pir behind that burka in the photograph posted by Anup Misra in the last but one post on the previous page :wink: .

Also going by Imran Khan Niazis former Mark II wife Reham Khan’s Autobiography, a burka wearing male is a possibility that cannot be dismissed. Reham Khan in that book has hinted that Imran Khan Niazi’s sexual orientation may go beyond the hetro-sexual :wink: . See the following excerpt from Reham Khans Autobiography regards Imran Khan’s sexual orientation:

“The long-term, live-in relationship with Moby was odd too. Imran would refer to him as his wife. Moby, while married for a third time, chose to live with Imran and not his own wife. I found these connections hard to understand but chose to dismiss them, deeming it paranoia. However, while cleaning the bottomleft drawer of my husband’s side table, I found empty cigar cases and huge tubes of KY jelly. When I asked what they were for, Imran explained that the lubricant and the metal cases were used together. His ‘preferences’ became clear. My look of horror produced peals of laughter from my sexually liberated husband.

I had caught my husband ‘admiring’ male genitalia through his impressive DVD collection several times. It was embarrassing to walk into the bedroom of a husband who was pleasuring himself to images of male bodies while his wife was busy cooking in the kitchen.”

^^@arunji,

This is a very useful find. Actually if this is true indeed (could be probable too, given he left jemima and reham behind).
CT mode on,
Pinki peerni, if such character ever existing, can easily vanish in the land of pure.
Of course, this info is always a leverage for those who control him (Army/China/Amerikhans). He anyways gets power and spend time in office gets to visit foreign countries free of cost. Army gets an English speaking and reasonably suave face to do their bidding. R-me has pulled a sort of coup again.
I am aware of the tradition of bakribazi and bachabazi in land of pure, but is mardbazi common too or is that haram? Should be less prevalent based on the population growth estimates?

In the Mohammadden Terrorism Fomenting Islamic Republic of “Naya” Pakistan it is apparently haraam for Mango Mohammads to shower rose petals on a vehicle containing a three time Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic outside a jail but it is halal for Lawyers to shower rose petals inside a Court on a murderer who bull cutleted / Qadrified / Wajib ul Qatl Pakjab’s Governor:

Now we know why PundrahPercenti did not want the railways ministry.

Railways Ministry faces a Rs37-40 billion deficit: Sheikh Rashid Ahmed
Railways Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed on Thursday during a talk with the media in Rawalpindi said that the railways ministry faces a debt of Rs37-40 billion left behind by the "previous corrupt, dishonest government" which had been "tooting its own horns claiming that the industry is doing well".
Sheikh Rashid said that the ministry has roughly 20-25 acres of land which private companies "are welcome to invest in for 20 years and build plazas, stations and food streets".
"We do not want any delay [...] we are willing to rent out the railway tracks even,"
According to the minister, the first train to run will have a 10 per cent discount offered to customers for a period of one month.
Yup! Renting tracks and 20 acres of land will solve all your problems, "saddam hussein" lookalike sa'ab. Call your buddy Laloo "discount" Yadav.

Now, what's wrong with this picture, hainji?

Saudi crown prince expresses support for new govt in meeting with Gen Bajwa
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman on Tuesday evening met Chief of Army Staff Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa and conveyed his wishes and support for the newly elected Pakistani government
"Both discussed wide-ranging issues of mutual interest including regional security," the tweet said.
Ambassador of Saudi Arabia to Pakistan Nawaf bin Said Al-Malki was the first diplomat to have met Khan even when the poll results were still pouring in.
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose (or, the more things change, the more they stay the same). :roll:

I'm the dim has capitulated in front of the army, which is now leading the foreign policy matters especially when dealing with the saudis. Even the saudis know where the real power lies in pakhanistan.

Govt trying to bring Aafia Siddiqui back home, says Qureshi :((
Express Tribune
Aug 22,2018
Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has said that the government is trying its best to bring Dr Aafia Siddiqui back to Pakistan. “Despite the fact that governments must take stock of legalities, we are trying our best to bring her [Dr Siddiqui] back,” he was quoted by Express News as saying on Wednesday.
-The Al-Qaeda Sleeper Agent (AKA The Daughter of Pakiland ) IMO, the chances of her ever returning to Pakiland are less than zero !
-Now add this mantra ( "we are trying our best to bring her back") to the other "broken record" of (i) the core issue (ii) India "stealing" our water !

Asad Umar Seems To Be " The Agent Of Change" ( And Flavour Of The Month !) In Imran Khan's Naya Pakistan

No employee of PIA, Pakistan Steel Mills and PM House will lose job, Asad Umar
In The News
Aug 21, 2018
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Finance Minister Asad Umar has said that the first decision of the new cabinet was to form a high powered taskforce to recover unlawful wealth stashed abroad.In a tweet message, he maintained that those who have stolen public money and hide it abroad is loud and clear.He visited the finance ministry and held a media talk. Finance Minister Asad Umar asserted that PTI will make revolutionary changes in economy with support of the people.He stressed tax base will be increased for revenue generation by revamping the FBR.Finance Minister said the looted wealth of the country will be brought back and people’s money will be spent on people. He noted that all decisions will be made in parliament.
The "usual honeymoon" period is 100 days . After that, the reality sets in . So, let this minion of Immy talk loudly from the top of the roof , before his balloon gets busted after 3 months !
“After approval from the cabinet, bonds and sukuk will be issued for overseas Pakistanis. The task force will present its report in two weeks. No information is yet present regarding the foreign assets of Pakistanis but they have done $8 billion investment in Dubai alone,” he explained. All the steps can be successful only with the cooperation of people, added Umar.
Ball is in the court of the awaam. Already, preparing the ground for failure :roll:
Asad Umar said the newly elected government will create employment opportunities for youth as part of its election manifesto.He went on to say that Karachi being the largest city and financial hub of the country is engine of the economy.Finance Minister said all out resources will be used for generation of revenue. He said our immediate focus will be on giving relief to pensioners and widows.He ruled out the possibility that the employees of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), Pakistan Steel Mills and Prime Minister House will lose their jobs.
IMO, the bhooka nanga public of Pakiland ( specially the "youth bulge" ) are "expecting" too much from this brand new govt !!

One More Confirmation That A Personality Cult Is Being Built Around The Person Of Imran Khan !

What’s wrong with pictures of PM Khan’s morning walk shared by PTV? Here is reality
ILAMABAD – Pakistan Television’s (PTV) official Twitter account posted pictures of Prime Minister Imran Khan having morning walk with Information minister Fawad Chaudhary and senator Faisal Javed.
But, here is a catch in the pictures shared by the state-run television need to be noticed. The images were taken around nine months ago when Khan was enjoying the morning walk with his close aides at a farmhouse owned by Jehangir Tareen Khan.A video of the morning workout was also posted online in November 2017.
Image
After the active social media users spotted the mistake and grilled the government-controlled television, PTV took down the Twitter post as it is now unavailable.
And the serious part of this , is that The Kaptaan is not doing anything to stop this "hero worship". After all , in his previous avatar ( as a cricketer cum playboy !) he craved those thing. So, it makes sense at least IMO !

Naya Pakistan Or Purana Pakistan . Honour Killing Is Firmly Entrenched In The "Culture Of Pakiland !

Honour killing : Woman shot dead by brother in Sialkot
Aug 23, 2018
SIALKOT – A woman was killed at Abiyala village of Sambrial tehsil of Sialkot on Tuesday in an apparent case of honour killing.According to local media, Nida Bibi (18) died on the spot when her brother Haider Ali shot at her in her room.The suspect had the suspicion that his sister had developed relations with a man of the same village, the police said. The suspect fled away after committing the crime.
Airport police have registered a murder case (No.201/2018) under sections 302 and 311 of the PPC against the suspect on the report of victim’s father Rehmat Ali.Police shifted the dead body to hospital for autopsy.
According to statistics, some 500 women are killed every year in Pakistan at the hands of family members over perceived damage to ‘honour’.
A joint session of the Parliament had already unanimously approved anti-honour killing and anti-rape bills moved by PPP Senator Farhatullah Babar back in 2016, but still, the implementation of laws in letter and spirit is the need of the hour.
Imran Naya Pakistan to fix this :roll:

Hero Worship, Personality Cult , Ego Messaging . All Have A Part To Play In immy's Naya Pakistan :mrgreen:

Naya style of a Naya PM
The News International
Aug 23, 2018
... He looked relaxed, confident and connected to the people. He clearly set the tone and outlined his vision for his government.
The new PM has announced some immediate measures as part of his austerity drive,
He outlines his plan for doing something different in the field of education, health, tourism, human rights
His nominated ministers, governors and chief ministers will also have to adopt the same way of life. Imran is PTI, PTI is Imran !
Now, his strong cabinet has also taken oath and while there are chances that few more ministers and advisers may be inducted .Austerity , where are you :roll:
While everyone appreciated his ‘austerity plan’, it is also important that he should abolish all ‘secret funds’ of ministries ISI :roll:
...Imran has high expectations from overseas Pakistanis. $ 200 Billion :roll:
All in all it was a very promising speech and as some PTI ministers assured that people will soon notice that ‘tabdeeli’ has come and will stay.
And if not tabdeeli, Ganja can always be blamed :mrgreen:

Massa To Bring Pashtun Khalilzad Back !

US to bring back Khalilzad as special Afghanistan envoy: sources
The News International
Aug 23, 2018
WASHINGTON: US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is expected to tap Zalmay Khalilzad, an Afghan-born former US ambassador to Kabul and Iraq, as his special envoy on Afghanistan, two US officials said, the latest signal to the Taliban that the United States is serious about talks to end its longest war.
One possible drawback for Khalilzad, the former official said, is that he has been publicly critical of neighboring Pakistan, whose cooperation is crucial to any peace effort.
Pompeo’s decision to tap Khalilzad shows the administration is “serious about getting a peace process going,” said the former official.
