Too early for that right now. But a coup against the establishment by the Pakjabis is not possible. A coup led by Pakhtuns and Punjabis joining later? That may work.

Pakistani passport remains fourth-worst in the world: Henley index

The Pakistani passport continues to be the fourth-worst in the world, not changing its position from a year ago and providing access to only 32 destinations, according to the Henley Passport Index for 2022.

The Henley Passport Index is a ranking of all the world’s 199 passports according to the number of destinations their holders can access without a prior visa.

In the newly unveiled ranking, Pakistan is ranked only higher than conflict-ravaged Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, which occupies the bottom spot.

Among other countries from Asia, India, along with Mauritius and Tajikistan, has been ranked 87th, with its passport providing access to 67 countries.

China ties with Bolivia for the 69th spot, with each of their passports allowing access to 80 destinations.

As for Bangladesh, it occupies the 104th position — five spots higher than Pakistan — with its passport holders having access to 41 countries.

Just another day in naPak while the Punjab *ape emergency is in effect....
American Woman Gang Raped in Pakistan’s Punjab Province, 1 Suspect Held
https://www.news18.com/news/world/ameri ... 88671.html
The woman was taken to a hotel in Punjab province after which two men known to her gang raped her and shot a video of the incident.

The 21-year-old survivor was living in Pakistan for the past seven months on a tourist visa.

The daily mail has a slightly different story:

The American woman was visiting a tourist resort in the eastern Punjab province
She arrived in Pakistan three weeks ago, police said, and was assaulted this week
Local reports say the woman was a blogger, and one of the suspects was a guide
Police have arrested two men, and an investigation into the claim is on-going

From what i remember she isn't the first western hired influencer to get raped by Pakis. Remember the Cynthia Ritchie case last year ?

Pakistan seeks US support for reviving economy

WASHINGTON: Special Assistant to the Prime Minister Tariq Fatemi told US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman on Thursday

I think this Fatemi dude was special assistant to Liaqat Ali Khan too. How old is he? Like 200 years?

that Pakistan views the United States as an ‘important partner in its efforts to revive” the country’s ailing economy.

Biden finally called PM Shabaz Shariff to inform the US is honored by a beggar choosing US as an important partner.

A Pakistan Embassy press release said Mr Fatemi told the US official that “Pakistan seeks close and cordial relations with the US on the basis of equality, mutual cooperation and mutual benefit”. He told the deputy secretary that “Pakistan is an important player in promoting regional peace, security and prosperity and taking the bilateral relationship forward in a substantive manner would serve the interests of both countries,” the statement added.

Fatemi chacha reading notes from 1980.

Mr Fatemi told Sherman that Islamabad viewed Washington as “an important partner in its efforts to revive Pakistan’s economy,” the embassy said.

Spokesperson Rice, however, focused on “coordination on Afghanistan, regional stability”, but he also mentioned the need for supporting efforts to cope with “the devastating effects of [Russian President] Putin’s invasion of Ukraine on food security in Pakistan and worldwide”.

Sharifs did but not he Zardari clan. He has nothing to lose, and used it as an opportunity to groom his son as FM and build networks with western diplomats.

Even the Sharifs knew the risk and Ganja was dead set against it, but Shehbaz (with support from Zardari) was adamant as he wanted to be PM and have his son as CM of Punjab.

CalvinH · Post by **CalvinH** » 22 Jul 2022 20:37

Chota Sharif got played by the Fauj and Zardari. His ambition was used and he ended up putting himself in a corner. The pain will just get worse for him with PTI coming back to power in Pakjab.

Anujan · Post by **Anujan** » 22 Jul 2022 21:51

No, they had a difficult choice to make.

Dimran wanted Faiz as COAS and then to arrest everyone and throw them in Jail. So the switch had to be made 6 months before November, when Bajwa was retiring (Dimran wanted to announce Faiz as the new big danda six months before Jernail Bajwa retired).

So badmash and his ilk had two choices.

1. Wait for economic difficulties to catch up to the aam abdul, Dimran to become less popular and then win the vote. But meanwhile Dimran might arrest everyone.

2. Or have vote of no confidence and chuck Dimran out. They chose the latter path. Perhaps they did not know how much the dekhonomoney was in Pakistan?

The TFTAs are clever. They do not impose arbitrary civvie leadership on the abduls. They try to figure out who is popular and then prop them up. They perhaps determined that Dimran was becoming unpopular. Now they perhaps downhill skiied because they figured out Dimran is still popular.

Bart S · Post by **Bart S** » 22 Jul 2022 23:33

Note also that TFTAs don't let any party get an absolute majority by themselves, they ensure that whichever party they 'select' has to depend on smaller parties (MQM pro-Army faction, PML-Q, and others propped up by the TFTAs) to make up the numbers and hence the TFTAs get to play kingmaker at all times.

CalvinH · Post by **CalvinH** » 23 Jul 2022 01:35

I am not sure if Faiz issue was used to scare PMLN into accepting the government or if Chota sharif used it as an excuse to fulfill his ambition. My feeling is that Chota Sharif got played for his weakness and was given this excuse to get a broader buy in PMLN.

TFTA was planning to take down Dimran. After vote of no confidence they could have called for re-elections and let PMLN win. PMLN would have come back and appointed a different COAS. But this option was not taken.

CalvinH · Post by **CalvinH** » 23 Jul 2022 01:43

Chota Sharif is getting PMLN destroyed for his personal ambition. Look at the classic case of Pakjab assembly. PMLN is doomed both ways. If they are able to keep his son in power than they will be labeled as the establishment party. if they lose than PTI would make their life hell in center with power in Pakjab.

They completely lost their narrative of being an anti establishment party to Dimran. At a time when it could have been used the best.

There was a vote to elect CM of Pakjab in Pakjab assembly

Hamza Shehbaz (chota badmash Jr) won 179 votes
Chaudhry Pervez Elahi (PTI, Dimran's party) won 186 votes

So naturally the deputy speaker declared that Hamza Shehbaz won the election and made him Pakjab CM

I am not making this up.

https://tribune.com.pk/story/2367253/el ... ab-cm-slot

Elahi wins election, but Hamza gets Punjab CM slot.

The deputy speaker in the Punjab Assembly, Dost Muhammad Mazari, has declared Hamza Shehbaz winner of the chief minister election who bagged 179 votes against 186 of Chaudhry Pervez Elahi after rejecting 10 votes of the PML-Q citing a letter from the party head, Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, who barred his party MPAs from voting for the PTI candidate.

Speaking on the floor of the house, PTI leader Raja Basharat challenged the deputy speaker’s ruling, saying as custodian of the house he could not reject the lawmakers’ votes.

“Chaudhary Shujaat is not authorised to prevent members from voting… he does not have the authority to stop any member,” he said.

Establishment basically screwed PMLN over by getting them to pass unpopular reforms demanded by the IMF and then calling elections, while they had apparently initially promised them a longer run. If they go to elections in a couple of months, they might get totally screwed.

Dimran looks like the out and out winner here, though some people in Pakistan are claiming that the establishment might be the actual winner as they are planning to use this political feuding to bring in a presidential system and take over control, with Dimran being a pawn/useful idiot as they had originally intended him to be.

However, whichever way any of this actually goes, Pakistan is certainly the loser.

In the end they will be bailed out by US, IMF and other sugar daddies as usual. But here's something for their benefactors to ponder upon, the cost of keeping Pakistan afloat will continue to increase with each passing day. The paki economy is where India was in the late 80s, difference is India had and still has a sound social and familial system that incentivizes education and hard work , compare that to Pakistan where they live, breath and eat religion and nothing else. They have no future, atleast not until they are broken up and the islamic genie is put back in its bottle. With Afghanistan done and dusted Pakis have not much for rest of the world other than offer itself to periodically needle India. As India continues to rise economically and politically, it will put more cushion between itself and Pakistan making the later's services less and less attractive.

Imran opposes ‘sale’ of national assets

ISLAMABAD: A day after the federal cabinet approved an ordinance pertaining to the sale of national assets in a bid to overcome the economic crisis faced by the country, Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan opposed the legislation and said the “thieves” should not be allowed to sell the assets.

On his Twitter account, the former prime minister said: “How can imported government brought to power through US conspiracy, led by ‘crime minister’, whose family along with Zardari have volumes written on their corruption, be trusted with the sale of national assets and that too through bypassing all procedural and legal checks.”

Govt adviser’s ‘disowned’ trip raises eyebrows in Washington

WASHINGTON: Islamabad’s decision to send a prime ministerial advisor to the State Department to seek US support for its efforts to revive the economy, and then disown his visit as a “personal” one, has surprised many in Washington’s diplomatic circles.

Tariq Fatemi, who is currently serving as special assistant to the prime minister, arrived in the US capital last week and held brainstorming sessions with officials at the Pakistan embassy, including the ambassador.

On July 21, he met US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman at her office and on the same day, Ms Sherman posted a brief message on her official Twitter: “I met with Special Assistant to the PM of Pakistan Ambassador Fatemi to reaffirm our shared goals of expanding relations through enhancing economic and commercial ties.”

But on July 22, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Islamabad disavowed the meeting. Asked at a news briefing to share the agenda of the talks, the spokesperson said: “Mr Fatemi is on a private visit to Washington and [the] Foreign Office did not play any role in his meeting with US officials”.

This caused considerable consternation to the American side, and Washington circles expressed concern.

In the US capital, Pakistan is increasingly being seen as a country where domestic political concerns often override relations with other nations, even if it is with a superpower like the US.

Diplomats — including at least two former Pakistani officials who have served in the US — point out that this has happened twice now: once during the so-called Cablegate controversy and, now with the visit of a senior Pakistani official to Washington.

“In the first case, a secret diplomatic cable was used to whip-up public support for a government that was facing a no-trust move,” said one of the two senior Pakistani diplomats.

“In the other case, the government sends a senior official to Washington, apparently to seek support for its efforts to revive the ailing economy but then disowns it, apparently because it fears annoying some quarters.”

Pakistan detects 14th polio case of the year

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has reported its 14th wild poliovirus case this year, with the latest victim being an eight-month-old girl from Miramshah tehsil of North Waziristan district, a National Institute of Health (NIH) official said on Wednesday.

“This is the third wild poliovirus case from Miramshah and the 13th from North Waziristan this year,” the official told Dawn.

All 14 victims are aged under two years, whereas the only case outside North Waziristan was reported from Lakki Marwat last week.

The health ministry said in a statement polio campaigns had proven to be successful all over the world, with over 99pc of the world now polio-free. The only two remaining polio-endemic countries — Pakistan and Afghanistan — have reported 15 cases this year, with 14 cases detected from Pakistan between April and June and one case from Afghanistan in January.

The strange case of the cricket match that helped fund Imran Khan’s political rise

At the height of his success, the Pakistani tycoon Arif Naqvi invited cricket superstar Imran Khan and hundreds of bankers, lawyers and investors to his walled country estate in the Oxfordshire village of Wootton for weekends of sport and drinking. The host was the founder of the Dubai-based Abraaj Group, then one of the largest private equity firms operating in emerging markets, with billions of dollars under management.
At the “Wootton T20 Cup”, over which Naqvi presided from 2010 to 2012, the main event was a cricket tournament between teams with invented names: the Peshawar Perverts or the Faisalabad Fothermuckers.

The guests were asked to pay between £2,000 and £2,500 each to attend, with the money going to unspecified “philanthropic causes”, Naqvi said.
It is the type of charity fundraiser repeated up and down the UK every summer. What makes it unusual is that the ultimate benefactor was a political party in Pakistan. The fees were paid to Wootton Cricket Ltd, which, despite the name, was in fact a Cayman Islands-incorporated company owned by Naqvi and the money was being used to bankroll Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, Khan’s political party. Funds poured into Wootton Cricket from companies and individuals, including at least £2mn from a United Arab Emirates government minister who is also a member of the Abu Dhabi royal family.

Not COAS job to seek US help in securing IMF loan: Imran

Former prime minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan has said that it was not the army chief’s job to approach the United States over the International Monetary Fund (IMF) deal.

“If these reports are correct that [Chief of Army Staff] General Bajwa is seeking America’s help in getting IMF [loan] it means that the country is getting weaker,” he said in an interview with the local TV channel on Friday. His statement comes as COAS Gen Bajwa reached out to the US administration with a request for help in securing an early dispersal of a tranche of bailout package from the IMF in an effort to stabilise the dwindling economy of Pakistan.

According to security sources, the army chief spoke by phone with US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman earlier this week.
