Chetak sir, there is.

But I have always felt that the local gully-mohalla childrens games have a stronger rules and honor system than international treaties.

^^^" India cannot single-handedly “block” Pakistan’s entry into BRICS," but it can veto or withhold consent, which in practice amounts to the same thing.

Rather than the BRICS, its the NDB that the jihadi's are aiming at.
The Bank provides loans for developmental work etc.
IMF is asking too many questions to release paltry sums!!
Chinese wants to promote Jihadi's memberships into this bank so that they recoup all their losses!!

Rajesh ji, the money of BRICS get issued via the NDB right?

And the NDB members each have one equal vote and no veto power.

Also the east Pakistanis are already beneficiaries of NDB (BRICS) money.

Looks like it is not the Desperate Don who is the threat to break up BRICS.

The latest flare-up came hours after Pakistan and Afghanistan reportedly agreed to extend their 48-hour ceasefire until the conclusion of talks in Doha.


Just as the conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan seemed to ease up after a ceasefire announcement, the Taliban claimed late last night that Pakistani forces carried out airstrikes on its territory, killing at least 10 people.

Three local Afghanistan cricketers were along among those killed, the country's cricket board said, mourning the big loss.

Musharraf gave control of Pak's nukes to US: Ex-CIA officer
Hemant Waje, October 25, 2025
John Kiriakou, former CIA Officer, has said that the United States threw millions of dollars to Pakistan under the leadership of former President of Pakistan Pervez Musharraf, in a way 'purchased' him.
In an interview with ANI, Kiriakou said that Pakistan was deep buried under corruption that Former Prime Minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto led a lavish life in the Gulf while the common people starved.
"Our relations with the Pakistani government were very, very good. It was General Pervez Musharraf at the time. And look, let's be honest here. The United States loves working with dictators. Because then you don't have to worry about public opinion and you don't have to worry about the media anymore. And so we essentially just purchased Musharraf," Kiriakou, who served 15 years in the CIA, first as an analyst and later in counter-terrorism, said.
He said that Musharraf then let the US do anything they wanted.
"We gave millions and millions and millions of dollars in aid, whether it was military aid or economic development aid. And we would meet with Musharraf regularly, several times a week. And essentially he would let us do whatever we wanted to do. Yes. But Musharraf also had his own people that he needed to deal with," he said.
Kiriakou said when he was stationed in Pakistan in 2002, he was told unofficially that the Pentagon controlled the Pakistani nuclear arsenal.
"That Musharraf had turned control over to the United States...But the Pakistanis in the intervening years, and remember, I was there 23 years ago...over the last 23 years, the Pakistanis have come to say that is absolutely not true. The United States has nothing to do with the Pakistani nuclear arsenal, that Pakistani generals are the ones who control it," he said.
Kiriakou said that Musharraf just kept the military 'happy,' and pretended to side with the US on counter-terrorism while carrying out terrorist activities against India.
"He had to keep the military happy. And the military didn't care about Al-Qaeda. They cared about India. And so in order to keep the military happy and keep some of the extremists happy, he had to allow them to continue this dual life of pretending to cooperate with the Americans on counter-terrorism while committing terror against India," he said.
"India-Pakistan were on the brink of war in 2002. December 2001 was when the parliament attack also happened. During that time," Kiriakou said.

Anyone understand why Pakistan government is shooting pro-Palestine/anti-Israel protestors?

from what i gather TLP is a barelvi sect radical bunch . their agenda is different from some other yahoos and very specific. they are known to have particularly destructive riots and the last one they did was 6 months ago or more. they tend to scream "labaik ,labaik" during their protests.

palestine may have been a part of the reason of the protest but was by no means the only one and it should be seen in light of other protests like those happening in POJK /GB.

i think the porki written article are trying to give it a more of a israel/palestine spin than reality . likely they wanna suck upto trump as they think they can suppress the thoughts of their awaam.

The chap who leads this movement is quite a character.

He wanted Pakistan PM to go to Geneva with Koran in hand and atom bomb in another hand and tell everyone that he will blow everythign up unless international community gives Pakistan money

An opinion piece on why Pakistan continues to be relevant.

Pakistan possesses five enduring strengths that ensure its relevance: a powerful military, a massive population, Islamic identity, an influential global diaspora, and proven alliance-building capabilities.

Anyone understand why Pakistan government is shooting pro-Palestine/anti-Israel protestors?

from what i gather TLP is a barelvi sect radical bunch . their agenda is different from some other yahoos and very specific. they are known to have particularly destructive riots . . .

Here is my take.

The Government was shooting at the TLP rioters because the latter's destination was the US Embassy in Islamabad.

Pakistan cannot afford to be seen as allowing such a situation to develop after having done all the hard work in turning around the relationship with the US. Too many people have too much to lose if anything untoward happens to the US Embassy, because the Berelvis are as violent and jihadi extremists as the Wahhabis or Deobandis. The 1979 attack on the Islamabad US Embassy, though allowed to happen by Gen. Zia-ul-Haq, couldn't be allowed to repeat in an entirely different context now. Then, the Americans needed Pakistan more (as Jinnah claimed) while now it's the other way around.

But, this is where it gets interesting. The TLP have traditionally enjoyed the goodwill of the Army simply by the fact that the Berelvis are the majoritarian Islamic sect of Pakistan. They dominate West Punjab and hence the Pakistani Army.

The protests around the visit of the Punjab Governor Salman Taseer to meet the blasphemy-accused Asia Bibi in prison (that later led to the assassination of Taseer by a Berelvi) in 2010, led to the formation of this extremist party. The 2006 Nishtar Park explosion (which was engineered by the Deobandi Sipah-e-Sahiba or SSP, the mother of all Pakistani Sunni terrorist organizations) which wiped out top Berelvi leadership coalesced the Berelvi sect and the hanging of Mumtaz Qadri, who killed Salman Taseer, galvanized Khadim Rizvi into creating this group in c. 2015.

It was in 2017 that it hit a jackpot. The then PML-N led government introduced a change in the Khatam-e-Nabbuwat (The Finality of Prophet Mohammed), a declaration that Pakistani Muslims have to make in certain situations. This is a tool to declare Ahmediyyas as non-Muslims. A change from, ‘I Swear . . . ‘ to ‘I Believe . . . ‘ was exploited by the TLP to the hilt leading to Pakistan coming to a grinding halt. The PML-N government, led by PM Khaqan Abbasi, asked the Army for help. Army refused and adding insult to injury asked the PM to talk directly to TLP and amicably resolve the issue. Gen. Bajwa (of Navjyot Singh fame, among other things) was the COAS then.

Riding on this ‘fame’, TLP contested the general elections in 2018 under a shortened name Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP), as it was earlier known as Tehreek-e-Labbaik Ya Rasool Allah Pakistan (TYLP), and became the third largest party in terms of votes polled (ahead of PPP) though it didn’t translate into as many seats in the National Assembly.

Shortly thereafter, in November 2018, an alleged ‘blasphemer’ of Christian denomination, Asia Bibi was released by the SC which ignited the TLP rioting even more. Initially PM Imran Khan said that his government would not budge in but like his predecessor, Khaqan Abbasi, he caved in and negotiated a ‘deal’ with TLP. Accordingly, Asia Bibi was put on Exit Control List (ECL) and the government filed a review petition against the judgement in the Supreme Court. There was again no support from the Army to the civilian government and even a possible covert support to TLP, which forced the Imran Khan-led PTI to negotiate with this extremist party.

So, TLP may not have overt support of the Pakistani Army like LeT or JeM but it has covert support like Hizb-ut-Tahrir (HuT). But, PA is now beholden to Trump & Witkoff and hence the turn of fortunes to TLP. This happens in Pakistan as for example, when the Punjabi Taliban turned against and attacked Musharraf and the Pakistani establishment after the (in)famous January 12, 2002 speech by him and the subsequent events including the Lal Masjid one.

Saudi aid:

Saudi Arabia has pledged to extend a $1 billion oil financing facility to Pakistan during the current fiscal 2025–26, while also rolling over $5 billion in deposits, officials from the Ministry of Finance confirmed on Monday.

According to ministry officials, the $1 billion oil facility will help Pakistan meet its energy import requirements and ease pressure on its foreign reserves. Officials said, the Kingdom will also roll over $5 billion in time deposits currently placed with the State Bank of Pakistan. Of the amount, $2 billion is due in December and $3 billion in June of 2026.

....
The Saudi deposits, carrying a 4% annual interest rate, have been renewed each year to support Pakistan’s external account. The total value of the deposits stands at approximately Rs1.45 trillion, extended as budgetary support. Officials said the continuation of these facilities underscores Riyadh’s commitment to Pakistan’s economic stability amid persistent fiscal challenges.
