اس کھیل میں تعیینِ مراتب ہے ضروری
شاطر کی عنایت سے تُو فرزیں، مَیں پیادہ
بے چارہ پیادہ تو ہے اک مہرۂ ناچیز
فرزیں سے بھی پوشیدہ ہے شاطر کا ارادہ!
— علامہ محمد اقبال
Nadra effort was key to identify tax evasion. Unexplored tax dividend was harnessed through integration of diverse databases and application of sophisticated #AI algorithms. Pakistan has technical capacity and talent to unearth tax evasion and build system of wealth tax /2
#Pakistan chose to trust a consulting company over @NadraPak to identify tax dodgers from withholding tax #data and ‘defenders’ of electronic data don’t see it a problem.
Isn’t it mind boggling that McKinsey will do the same job that we did successfully in 2022! While begging for dollars, why on earth we need to act like an oil rich country? /1

What would you do if a foreign military knocked down your door, beat up your mother, imprisoned your father, & stole your house?
What would you do if you were told for the rest of your life you would have to live in a cage, besieged?
@m7mdkurd on 75yrs of violence & oppression:
For years the IDF has attacked and killed Palestinians at leisure, their supporters chanting: 'Death to the Arabs.'
Do the oppressed Palestinians have a right to resist the non-stop aggression to which they are subjected? Only one answer: Yes!
The Palestinians are again fighting for their lives, refusing to live in the prison known as Gaza, controlled and policed by Israel with Palestinians killed and maimed, unreported, day after day. Now their resistance, to which they have a right, is called 'unprovoked'. Read on:
@IlhanMN: Just Because You're an AOC Wannabe Doesn't Mean You're Obliged to Be an Airhead
Trying to free 1,000,000 children, who have been held hostage in Gaza for nearly two decades, is, according to Ilhan Omar, "senseless violence."
Zelensky’s hypocrisy is mind bending. Ukrainians can resist Russia who breached their borders 1 year ago but Palestinians cannot resist 75 years of Israeli occupation and subjugation?
Calm is when Gaza is bombed, villages are invaded, homes are bulldozed, journalists are shot, ambulances are attacked, mosques are vandalized, schools are tear-gassed, and Palestinians are massacred
Calm shattered is when Palestinians finally respond
Sir Abdullah Khan Sumbal.... one of finest officers of PAS and more importantly a very kind hearted human being... a virtue truly fading away from our society. . RIP...
Players change…same game being played. Lots of heat, no light. Ultimate cost will be borne by people at large…again as usual. People should read Stefan Dercon’s Gambling on Development for an important perspective.
@SahilBloom Agree… but it is challenging for aspiring individuals in third-world countries e.g. relocate to other cities or countries for a better livelihood versus staying back and living with Parents + high inflation and traveling cost.
PTCL, Nayatel, Storm Fiber and Wateen install thousands of routers at their customer premises each year.
A router can be designed, produced and installed with an open source software in Pakistan easily.
But as usual, we would prefer to import.
Op-Ed: "Pakistanis are experiencing the most severe cost-of-living crisis in their lifetime. The speed and magnitude of the evaporation of purchasing power and decline in living standards over the past 10 months is unprecedented."

Harsh Truth: You'll literally never know what you want to be when you grow up.
The idea that you should know what you want to do with your life by the time you are 20 is one of the worst lies we are told.
I spent years stressing out over my lack of a clearly defined path...
But then I realized that most hyper-successful people still have no idea what they want to do.
They just have a bias for action that has allowed them to capitalize on opportunities and compound effectively over time.
If you have a bias for action, you'll always be fine.
