Agriculture users have the worst bill payment rate at 60% (national average 92% excluding agri). The share in consumption is 10%. Losses in PKR were 72 bn in FY22, at heavily subsidized rates. With all subsidy abolished, just shudder at what's in store for FY23.
OMG, in less than 100 words tweet @ArifAlvi did what no one could do in last decade. Atomic bomb exploded. Besides immediate annihilation of many it’s lethal radiations will continue to kill & maim in years ahead. No matter what happens now Alvi earns deep respect of many
زہر دیتا ہے کوئی کوئی دوا دیتا ہے
جو بھی ملتا ہے مرا درد بڑھا دیتا ہے
کسی ہم دم کا سر شام خیال آ جانا
نیند جلتی ہوئی آنکھوں کی اڑا دیتا ہے
پیاس اتنی ہے میری روح کی گہرائی میں
اشک گرتا ہے تو دامن کو جلا دیتا ہے
کس نے ماضی کے دریچوں سے پکارا ہے مجھے
کون بھولی ہوئی راہوں سے صدا دیتا ہے
وقت ہی درد کے کانٹوں پہ سلائے دل کو
وقت ہی درد کا احساس مٹا دیتا ہے
نقشؔ رونے سے تسلی کبھی ہو جاتی تھی
اب تبسم مرے ہونٹوں کو جلا دیتا ہے

Abductions, opening straight fire at home, what is next? None preached violence nor participated in any such incident. All that is being done is legal recourse to courts for constitutional rights and democratic freedoms. Those who don't have a legal defence against subjecting civilians to military courts are adopting violent tactics with impunity. PDM parties can look the other way but this will come to haunt them. Those who decried the birth of hybrid regime under PTI are now normalizing and mainstreaming it themselves.

A quick 🧵on how de-dollarization can happen with more use of Yuan... WITHOUT the Yuan becoming a global reserve currency. A lot of experts get this wrong.
It doesn't have to be all-dollars or all-Yuan
Yeah, like Buddha said, there's a "middle way."
Like shown below:
This is the time for those who have spoken, agitated, and advocated against this impunity to unite.
It doesn’t matter what someone’s past arguments and actions have been.
Only unity on a single point agenda focused on rule of law can help take the country forward.

You gotta give it to Babar Azam for sending Nawaz at such a crucial moment. Nawaz changed the entire match with his blistering batting. Warna Naval officer ne koi qasar nhi chorhi thi.
