Maybe India can help by lining up sacks of wheat hain?

Crowd at Wagah Border parades thinning out
Soaring inflation and security concerns are affecting the splendor of Wagah Border – a celebrated relic of the partition of 1947 – as the crowd continues to shrink in comparison to those who attend the parade from across the border.

Analysts believe inflation is the main reason behind this. They also believe that the young generation is no longer interested in aggressive parades.

Thousands of citizens from both sides of the border come to attend this parade in the past. The stadium built by Pakistan has a seating capacity of 10,000. However, only 1,500 to 2,000 people are found in the audience these days, with Sunday being the only exception when the number reaches 3,000.

On the other side of the border, the stadium built by India has a capacity of 25,000 spectators and the regulars are relatively more than Pakistanis. :((

I have watched a few of his shows on Pak economy which are pretty insightful. He is part of the DC circuit so does have decent contacts . He also a Memon. After partition Jinnah invited the Memon traders to move to Pakistan and gave soft loans to start business, many of them became rich businessmen in Karachi

What I find interesting is that in his other shows he talks about the Facist BJP/RSS and the ‘Dar ka Mahol’ but it seems the opposite from his visit .

Pay close attention to Hina Rabbani. I have been on PeeAref for close to 20 years now so have heard 400 times about "Strategic stability in the subcontinent"

"Strategic stability" is a code word for "Give Cashmere to Pakistan, otherwise Pakistan has no option but to send terrorists to India. Make sure India does not retaliate conventionally, otherwise Pakistan will have no option but to use nukes". You might have heard other incarnations of "Strategic Stability" like "Cashmere is nuclear flashpoint" and "India and Pakistan have fought 4 wards over Cashmere".

If you take a larger look at what is happening in military parity and military attitudes between India and Pakistan, it is truly frightening for Pakistan because "Strategic stability" is no longer present. The previous technique of maintaining near parity by being a MUNNA and the previous reliance on WKKs to not retaliate for terror attacks is not working anymore for Pakistan.

Hina has misunderstood the reasons. She thinks "Strategic stability" going down the pakistan is because
a) Somehow west loves India and hates Pakistan because of Islamophobia (Pakistan has always been a condom of geostrategy. Nobody is going to be attached to it for 24 hours a day)

b) Somehow west is selling arms to India but not Pakistan. This has a couple of problems. First India pays cash. Secondly She can complain all she wants about the west selling arms to India, but in a few years even that will become irrelevant as indigenous platforms come online --- Even considering one segment, arty, the number of platforms will be more lethal and numerous than any time in our history. Not to talk about things like fighter jets.

I would agree with her that "Strategic stability" of the form that Pakistan had imposed upon India is getting affected.

The only strategic stability since 1965 is called the US.

As India develops ever greater leverage that stability will slip away even more.

What else explains the lack of some Muslim threatening holy war on India over the last three years?

Indian-owned ship MV Lila Chennai rushes wheat for Pakistan from Russia
WASHINGTON: In an ideal world, India would be rushing aid to a broke and beleaguered Pakistan as it teeters on the brink of bankruptcy and default. :roll: Absent that, an Indian-owned ship, MV Lila Chennai, has steamed into Gwadar port carrying 50,000 metric tons of wheat from Russia amid reports of 40% inflation and growing food shortages in the country.
The consignment is part of the 450,000 mt of wheat being imported by Pakistan. MV Lila Chennai is one of 40 ships owned by Global Marketing Systems Inc (GMS Inc), said to be the world's largest buyer of ships and offshore assets for recycling, founded by Dr Anil Sharma, a former US business school professor, who is currently based in Dubai.

Thanks to the stupidity of Bakis and the clarity of the Modi govt, this talk of "Strategic stability" is no longer relevant and has become purely academic. Why? India proved twice that any major terror attack will provoke an irrational response from India. Pakis were proven to be nuke nude. Kashmir' problem is more centered around retaking POK and GB which India has a real chance to do when this economic crisis of the Bakis worsens and the godfathers have failed to come to its rescue.

Terror commander Syed Noor Shalobar shot dead in Pakistan by unknown gunmen
In a massive development, terror commander Syed Noor Shalobar was shot dead in broad daylight by an unknown gunman in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region.

He was instrumental in carrying out terrorist activities in Jammu and Kashmir. He was working at the behest of ISI and was responsible for recruitment. Following this incident, the security of the terror commanders in Pakistan has been beefed up as this comes amid the infighting going on among the terror groups.
Notably, he was the third commander to have been killed this year after Al Badr Commander Khalid and Hizbul Commander Imtiaz Alam. All three have been involved in carrying out terrorist incidents in India. Khalid Raza was at the top of the list of terrorists who took responsibility for spreading terror in the valley and used to plan terrorist conspiracies. He was gunned down outside his own house in Pakistan. While Bashir Ahmed was associated with the terrorist organization Hizbul used to infiltrate terrorists into India from Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK). He was killed in Rawalpindi.

Difference between Indian and Paki elite - enchandee?

Hanging out with Pakistan’s 1%
Australian anthropologist rubbed shoulders with Pakistan's wealthiest people for 14 months to understand how they live

Her research points out that the wealthy in Pakistan are not a homogenous group, but divided along various lines such as region, ethnicity, religion, and business sector. Armytage argues that these divisions are important for understanding the micro politics of wealth in Pakistan, as they shape the ways in which the wealthy interact with each other and the society.

“Much like the global elite of which they are a part, the Pakistani elite direct the legal and regulatory structures that determine wealth flow and opportunity within the country, while simultaneously operating outside of, and above these structures,” she explains. “There are two groups of established elite. Firstly, those who acquired their wealth pre-partition through land grants and other perks from the Mughal empire all from association with the British and through benefitting from that particular regime, and also in the first couple of decades after Pakistan. Then there are those who acquired their wealth mostly post-1977 in relation to the military regime of the time and other regimes that followed.

Within the established elite group, there are a couple of different groups. There is the group of mainly middle-class Gujrati traders who Muhammad Ali Jinnah relied on to establish the new Pakistani nation and that becomes really important when we look at Pakistani elite today. They were called upon to help establish the industry that Pakistan needed. At the time of Partition, all the industrial infrastructure of united India remained in India and an enormous vacuum needed to be filled to justify the needs of the new Pakistan. So these middle-class groups were lured over to Pakistan by Jinnah and his government and given tax concessions and other perks to make business lucrative for them. As a result they really thrived within that community. Most of those traders moved to Karachi while the established elite settled in Lahore, which is closer to the Indo-Pak border that they crossed over.”

Another interesting deduction Armytage makes is that Pakistani elites don’t like to dominate and be competitive in the world because they enjoy being big fish in a little pond :mrgreen: (or fat pigs in the gutter )

Since most of her research done in 2014 was a turbulent time for Pakistan, many people told Armytage they couldn’t possibly move overseas permanently, because it would be dull without the excitement of Pakistani politics and being in the centre of the constant drama.

Imran dodges arrest after Islamabad Police show up at Lahore residence with court summons
Umer Farooq | Ali Waqar | Rana Bilal, March 5, 2023

PTI Chairman Imran Khan on Sunday addressed his party workers and supporters at his Zaman Park residence in Lahore despite being “unavailable” to the police present outside to arrest him.
The Islamabad Police along with their Punjab Police counterparts arrived at Imran’s residence earlier in the day to take Imran into custody for his persistent absences from Toshakhana court hearings.
The 70-year-old former prime minister, who has been recovering from a gunshot injury from an assassination attempt in Wazirabad last year, has thrice skipped indictment hearings in an Islamabad sessions court in the case.
What we know so far
Islamabad Police arrived at Imran’s Zaman Park residence in Lahore around 12:30pm to arrest him
They were met by a large amount of PTI workers, who massed outside his residence on Fawad Chaudhry’s call
Non-bailable arrest warrants were issued by a sessions court judge for Imran’s persistent no-shows in Toshakhana case hearings
Police say those who obstruct arrest will be prosecuted
Islamabad police chief says won’t go back empty-handed
PTI is threatening mass protests if arrest goes through
Rana Sanaullah says Imran’s arrest was on court orders, and not the government’s
Imran addressed party workers at Zaman Park residence as police await outside
Party approaches LHC for protective bail
Imran’s speech
Addressing the crowd of PTI loyalists, Imran said he had never “bowed before any man or institution, and will never let you do so as well”.
Imran said he had called the public to Zaman Park to pay tribute to them for the way they participated in the ‘Jail Bharo Tehreek’ (court arrest movement). “I did not call you for my support but to thank you,” he added.

Pakistani elites dont move permanently to overseas despite dual citizenships because the source of their money is in Pakistan and they have to be in Pakistan to do the wheeling dealing or keep this money source secure from other family members. Most of the Pakistani elites despite having resources lack business sense to establish themselves overseas in true sense. Buying franchises whether Papa Johns or 7-11 is the only model they know.

So the open loot of Pakistani resources continues. Pakistan can never improve till this elite class remains. Their objectives are opposite to what makes a successful state. They have created a ecosystem that lives on the droppings and is happy to sustain the ecosystem. From bureaucrats to media to Karachi traders. INC was taking us the same way in India but Indian values for education and pursuit of knowledge kept an aspiring middle class going and this middle class is shaping the India of today. Pakistan has a negligible middle class to drive any meaningful change.

Yawn - PPP hints at quitting govt over unkept promises
Pakistan Peo­ples Party (PPP) Chairman and Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has said it will be too difficult for his party to remain part of the federal government if the centre does not fulfil its promises of giving relief to flood victims of Sindh.

“We [will] take up this issue in the National Assembly,” he said, adding that he would also speak to the premier to fulfil the promises made to the flood victims, otherwise it would be very difficult for the PPP to be part of the federal government.

Pakistan: 9 policemen killed in Balochistan blast after ‘suicide bomber hits truck from behind’
This is the latest in a series of attacks on police personnel in Pakistan.

By: Express Web Desk
Updated: March 6, 2023 12:55 IST


An ambulance carrying victims of the suicide attack in Pakistan's Bolan in seen in this video screengrab.

A bomb blast in Pakistan’s Balochistan province killed nine policemen and injured several others, local media reported on Monday.

The incident occurred on the Kambri bridge in Balochistan’s Bolan area, bordering the Sibi and Kachhi borders, as per a report in the Pakistan-based daily Dawn. It said that initial investigations point to a suicide attack, but detailed inquiries are being made into the incident.

The explosion occurred near as members of the Balochistan Constabulary were returning from duty, reported Express Tribune, adding that the vehicle the policemen were travelling in overturned in the impact. The Balochistan Constabulary is a special section of the urban police that provides security in sensitive places and for important events.

“The suicide bomber was riding a motorbike and hit the truck from behind,” senior police official Abdul Hai Aamir told the AFP news agency.

Photographs on social media showed gory images of an overturned white and blue police van with bleeding bodies strewn on the road. Kachhi SSP Mehmood Khan Notizai told Reuters another 15 policemen were wounded. This is the latest in a series of attacks on police personnel in Pakistan.

Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Abdul Qudoos Bizenjo condemned the attack and expressed condolences to the families of the deceased.

Thanks for this. I watched the whole thing and had an epiphany: no wonder that our inbred Lootyens class want all this aman-ki-asha and organize candle marches in Wagah, because it is probably somewhat similar here. And no wonder the Bakis hate the NaMo Govt - because they don't understand it at all (unlike the previous Lootyens driven regime).

I think that you are right, and also a big reason is that the Lutyens crowd on our side are full of Punjabi elites (think Kuldeep Nayyar, Jyoti Malhotra, Gujral etc, MSA being a honorary Pakjabi having been born and raised there :D ) with a similar mindset so Pakis find it easy to form a connect with them and then manipulate them.

My guess would be US is arm twisting Pakistan into playing a bigger role in Ukraine war - increased ammunition supply and may be even boots on the ground.
What's interesting is the comment by India during G20 about misuse of IMF funds by some countries to pay for Chinese loans so India is also likely working behind the scenes in delaying IMF deal for Pakistan.

Multiple signals so far that something is happening regarding Pak nuke assets:
1. Recent report about how how 1998 like conditions are being created for Pakistan w.r.t IMF deal.
2. Hina Khar's verbal diarrhea
3. Statement by senator Rabbani about nuclear assets under pressure.

Surely not a coincidence?

Lootyens are close relative of the Pakistani elite. Rent seekers and middleman thriving on an ecosystem that is closely connected through relationships, nepotisms and sycophancy, and corners disproportional amount of national resources. Which is then distributed as per the levels in the ecosystem but everyone gets something. Which they use to contribute back to the growth of the ecosystem.

They get first dibs on any new schemes, licenses, privatizations etc. and are privy to insider information and right connections to make a cut for themselves in every deal.

The only thing Indian lootyens lack is an all powerful power brokering mafia like Pakistan army that all players respect and which contributes to the sustenance and longevity of the charade. It takes its own share which is growing more and more but it maintains a balance between different powers lest they end up destroying everything through infighting. Sonia Gandhi came close to becoming that power center when she ruled with 146 seats.

The West is repeating an old mistake - partnering with Pakistan to fight a war. The UK has signed a defence pact, Poland & Canada are coordinating with Pakistan to supply ammunition to Ukraine. No compunction about working with a terror state? No lessons learned from Afghanistan?

India's moves in Afghanistan have scared the pakis schitless.
India’s alarming expansion in Afghanistan
The burgeoning relationship between the Taliban and India is sure to raise eyebrows in the region, particularly in China and Pakistan, who have heavily invested in Afghanistan’s peace, security and economic development. For the region as a whole, which has legitimate interests in Afghanistan, this move is likely to have significant ramifications. In mid-2022, India reopened its embassy in Kabul, and Delhi is now looking to further increase its diplomatic influence in Afghanistan. A proposal to open a consulate in Kandahar has been met with approval from the Taliban, and it is anticipated the Indian consulate in Kandahar will open soon after receiving procedural consent from the Taliban. And the announcement is expected anytime.

All of the region’s neighbours, including Pakistan, China, Central Asian States (except Uzbekistan and Tajikistan), Iran and Russia, have Taliban embassies that are currently operational. The Afghan embassy in Delhi is still staffed and controlled by former regime-connected diplomats, and the embassy and its consulates in India are now the top priorities for the Taliban to seize. To this end, they have lobbied Delhi vigorously to recognise Taliban officials as the legitimate representatives of the Afghan government.
The Taliban will accept the Indian consulate in Kandhar in exchange for accepting the Taliban representative in Delhi. Delhi’s acceptance of a Taliban representative will be a step towards the Taliban’s partial recognition. India is also closely monitoring how Iran and Russia have handed over consulates and embassies to Taliban government.

The increasing thaw between the Taliban and Delhi and India’s expanding diplomatic clout in Afghanistan has a direct impact on Pakistan’s security on its western border. The planned opening of the Indian consulate in Kandahar will serve as a reminder of the security challenges that were present during Ashraf Ghani’s era. Balochistan’s instability was directly affected by India’s presence 25km away from Pakistan’s Chaman border.

The launch of the Kandhar consulate is a strategic move by both India and the Taliban, granting them a powerful diplomatic tool. As the relationship between India and the Taliban begins to thaw, the Taliban may use the thaw with India as leverage in their negotiations with Pakistan.
This will be especially concerning for Pakistan, as the two countries share a 2,670km long western border.
In this context, the new Indian consulate in the region will be used as a hub for Indian intelligence operations, such as providing safe houses as centres for terrorism in Balochistan under the guise of diplomacy, while India focuses on southwest Afghanistan. It has been revealed that the TTP, the BLA and terrorism in Balochistan were all directly funded and handled by the same Indian consulate along the Pakistani border during the former President Ashraf Ghani period.

The planned consulate in Kandahar will have a significant impact on China, as India and China have long-standing adversarial relations. China’s primary concern is the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), the main project of the One Belt One Road Initiative, which India is likely to attempt to undermine with renewed vigour. With the Gwadar port set to open in the second half of 2023 and be inaugurated by President Xi, the situation is becoming increasingly tense.

For India, this move could be a game-changer in the region, as it grants them a tactical understanding of how to leverage terrorism against Pakistan in Balochistan. The last thing Pakistan needs is for the Afghan Taliban to turn a blind eye to conceivable Indian sponsored kinetic activities in the southwest of Afghanistan while the terrorism in Balochistan gains more momentum.

India has already been utilising Iran’s Chabahar port and has been sponsoring Baloch unrest from there. With the opening of Kandhar consulate, India is one step closer to achieving its strategic goal of encircling Pakistan. This presents a formidable challenge for Pakistani decision-makers, as India’s diplomatic influence in Afghanistan continues to grow along with its intelligence capabilities and operational bases.

For all countries in the region with vested interests in Afghanistan, India’s expanding influence should be a cause for alarm. As India’s presence in the region intensifies, so too does the risk of conflict and instability. This is a situation that must be closely monitored as the repercussions of any unrest could be far-reaching and catastrophic, with its potential to spill over into other areas.
