An immensely powerful painting by Hassan Roulolamin - depicting Imam Hussain ع being ruthlessly slain by Yazidi forces; Hussain, the lone fighter being hit from all sides because he didn’t submit to tyranny and rose up against oppression - his message has become immortal

@Fahdhusain @nha_pakistan1 @MiftahIsmail NHA can’t run by federal
PIA can’t run by federal
Steel Milll can’t run by Federal
Power plants can’t run by Federal
Railways can’t run by Federal
FBR can’t achieve Targets

Federal is failed in every department but they need Karachi and Gawadar to run ..

It’s alarming

@MiftahIsmail @FahdSheikh3 I have time and again argued it with Islamic economists - they end getting enraged

[Miftah Ismail @MiftahIsmail]

In my column I argue that there is essentially no difference between Islamic and conventional banking. Both charge you fixed interest without risk-sharing. Arabic names for loan products doesn’t make you Islamic. https://t.co/2TjpM0k2UG

Thank you for restating what you have already said and quoted in the story.

I did not use “mandatory” word in the story. All the facts are already given in the article.
The consumer’s entry will be optional but the exit may not be. Once an industrial consumer is in, it cannot exit for a certain period. Secondly, what is the guarantee that today’s optional will not be mandatory tomorrow.
Users have zero trust in Power Division after it changed net metering policy despite first denying that it was not changing the policy.
Once in the policy, consumers will pay higher fixed cost, if their consumption falls below certain levels. The Power Division has admitted this too.
The policy plan has already been shared with the IMF. The IMF has sought further clarifications. The IMF was informed that to ensure power system’s financial viability, the fixed charges may be increased and variable charges may be reduced for industrial consumers.

Saad bhai’s tweet reminds me of Jalib’s eternal poem,

Maine ussay ye kaha

Ye jo 10 crore hain
Jahl ka nichor hain
Inki fikr so gaei
Inki mot ho gaei
Be Shaoor log hain
Aur teray pas hai
Inkay dard ki dawa

کچھ لوگ شاید یہ نہیں جانتے، لیکن پاکستان دنیا کا سب سے امیر، خوبصورت، بہترین اور کامیاب ملک بننے جا رہا ہے۔ ہر پاکستانی کے پاس اتنا پیسہ ہوگا کہ اسے کسی چیز کی ضرورت محسوس نہیں ہوگی۔ سب خوش ہوں گے، جرائم کی شرح بالکل صفر ہوگی، ہر شخص ایک دوسرے کی مدد کر رہا ہوگا، اور ہر چہرے پر مسکراہٹ اور فخر نمایاں ہوگا۔ بس کچھ دیر انتظار کریں، آگے مستقبل روشن ہے۔ ان شاء اللہ۔

PML-N 2.0 may be the most unpopular government in recent memory.

Higher taxes, soaring prices, squeezed incomes, struggling farmers, underpaid workers, and a generation desperate to leave.

When almost everyone feels worse off, is this really progress?

[Shahbaz Rana @81ShahbazRana]

In a 54- member strong cabinet, @Fahdhusain in this article finds only three ministers- Petroleum and Power ministers Ali Pervaiz Malik and Awais Khan Leghari, IT minister Shaza Khawaja working hard. Many key ministers do not have anything to showcase. Ministers now summon PTV cameramen in their offices to record messages and then portray it as “speaking to media”. There are so afraid that they cannot face media, what to talk about facing people buried under taxes and high energy prices. Some have taken refuge in TikTok reels.

@fawadkafeel It’s easier to read it it this way.

Outrageous! Disgusting!
Feudal Waderas in Ghotki gang-raped a girl in front of her parents, filmed it, and blackmailed her. These powerful thugs rape freely while the #Pakistani state stays silent.

According to a post from Pro-Pakistani, Govt to Bring 7-Year Installment Plans for Cars With Loans of Up to Rs. 10 Million.

This will simply worsen our balance of payment problem and depreciate the currency.

We keep repeating the same mistakes.

[jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill]

First he was possibly dead, then severely wounded, then not in a position of authority, then Iran in disarray, now he’s playing a critical role. The blockade is working. Now we have Project Freedom. Now we don’t. JD is on his way to Islamabad. No, it’s Steve & Jared. Now no one.
