Making an issue out of non issue.
There are much bigger and better topics to focus on as journalists for the betterment of the society.

وزیراعظم @CMShehbaz کی توجہ کے لیے:
اسلام آباد کے جمز میں مرد و خواتین کی مشترکہ ایکسرسائز سے اخلاقی و معاشرتی مسائل جنم لے رہے ہیں۔ متعلقہ حکام فوری طور پر خواتین اور مردوں کے لیے علیحدہ اوقات مقرر کریں اور اس پر سختی سے عمل کروائیں۔

Talks failed but history will remember the lengths Pakistan went to, to get it settled peacefully. We have punched miles above our weight & gave the world a glimmer of hope against all odds. We were the only avenue that gave hope to millions & millions of mothers & children who dreaded destruction. Proud of our diplomats. We know it’s a good news for a specific faction of anarchists in Pakistan but then again, until they get hold of affairs, let’s cherish what we did in the last two weeks for peace. Congratulations, Pakistan. And good luck to the world !!

With the greatest humility, I am pleased to announce that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon and elsewhere, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
I warmly welcome the sagacious gesture and extend deepest gratitude to the leadership of both the countries and invite their delegations to Islamabad on Friday, 10th April 2026, to further negotiate for a conclusive agreement to settle all disputes.
Both parties have displayed remarkable wisdom and understanding and have remained constructively engaged in furthering the cause of peace and stability. We earnestly hope, that the ‘Islamabad Talks’ succeed in achieving sustainable peace and wish to share more good news in coming days!

Proud to have contributed to a landmark policy under the Punjab Kissan Card initiative — a game-changer for small-scale farmers across Punjab.

As part of the GoPb’s Finance Department core team, I concentrated on eliminating predatory lending practices by middlemen mafia.

Myth 001 :

Pakistan's public sector expenditure is too high; therefore need to move towards smaller footprint of the public sector.

Fact Check:

Pakistan's public sector expenditure, though inefficient and wasteful and in need of major redirection, is definitely not higher than most of the comparable countries or developed countries.

In terms of total public sector expenditure as percentage of GDP , we are less than 20 % while USA spends roughly 37 of its GDP and India 29 % of its GDP.

Pakistan's real problem is low tax/GDP ratio: less than 11 % compared to India's 18 % and Norway's 44 %.

If Pakistan's richer classes start paying taxes at the level of its eastern neighbour, we would collect 25 billion US dollars more in revenue.

First order effect: Government would borrow 25. billion dollars less from the banking sector.

Second order effect: 25 billion dollars of more credit for the private sector; more economic activity, more employment, more taxes and even more revenue. A virtuous cycle of prosperity starts.
