I warmly congratulate the US & Iran for having reached a peace deal that provides for an immediate & permanent ceasefire, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, as well as a framework for further negotiations. This represents a critical step towards the peaceful settlement of the conflict.
My deep appreciation goes to Pakistan, Qatar, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and other regional countries, for the constructive role played in supporting the negotiations that led to the peace deal.
We welcome the agreement reached on the Memorandum of Understanding between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran. We extend our thanks to our brothers in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, as well as to all regional and international parties that contributed to creating the conditions conducive to reaching this understanding. We look forward to all parties engaging in the forthcoming negotiations in a positive and constructive spirit that will help consolidate this progress and build upon it.
We reaffirm that the State of Qatar will remain a steadfast supporter of these efforts and of all endeavours aimed at strengthening security and stability at the regional and international levels through dialogue and peaceful means.
Following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED. Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.
The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June in Switzerland.
We would like to thank the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran for their commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict. We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to our brothers in this mediation effort, the great leadership of State of Qatar, for their support in reaching this agreement. I would also especially thank the visionary leadership of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Republic of Türkiye for their immense contributions in this regard.
With the agreement now in place, mediators will facilitate a series of meetings this week. These pre-implementation discussions will lay the foundation for the technical talks and the official signing ceremony.

We would like to thank United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran for their ongoing commitment during the negotiations, and we extend our sincere appreciation to our brothers in the region for their support. We are confident that this historic peace deal will form a strong foundation for lasting peace.

یوسف نذر صاحب کی بجٹ پر ایکس پوسٹ
بجٹ تقریر آپ کو یہ نہیں بتائے گی:
پاکستان میں امیر اور بااثر طبقات کو دی جانے والی 8.7 ارب ڈالر کی مراعات اور سبسڈیز پر نہ تو شاذ و نادر ہی بحث ہوتی ہے اور نہ ہی یہ پارلیمانی منظوری یا نگرانی کے تابع ہوتی ہیں۔ ان اعداد و شمار کی وسعت کا اندازہ اس بات سے لگائیں کہ یہ رقم وفاقی حکومت کے پورے ترقیاتی بجٹ سے بھی زیادہ ہے۔ یہ پاکستان کے صحت اور تعلیم پر سالانہ مجموعی اخراجات سے بھی بڑھ کر ہے۔ اور سب سے حیران کن حقیقت یہ ہے کہ پاکستان ایک ہی سال میں ٹیکس چھوٹ کی مد میں جتنی رقم چھوڑ دیتا ہے، وہ تین سال کے دوران آئی ایم ایف سے لیے جانے والے قرض سے بھی زیادہ ہوتی ہے۔
یہی اس نظام کا طریقۂ کار ہے۔ عوام پر ٹیکس لگاؤ، طاقتوروں کو استثنیٰ دو۔ منظم مفاداتی گروہ ٹیکس چھوٹ کے لیے لابنگ کرتے ہیں۔ انتظامیہ ایس آر اوز (SROs) کے ذریعے انہیں یہ رعایتیں فراہم کر دیتی ہے۔ پارلیمنٹ کبھی اس پر ووٹ نہیں دیتی۔ ایف بی آر شعبہ وار مجموعی اعداد و شمار جاری کرتا ہے جو حقیقت کو واضح کرنے کے بجائے زیادہ چھپاتے ہیں۔ آئی ایم ایف اصلاحات کا مطالبہ کرتا ہے۔ حکومت وعدے کرتی ہے۔ مگر ٹیکس چھوٹ برقرار رہتی ہے۔ بوجھ عوام اٹھاتے ہیں۔ اور یہ چکر مسلسل چلتا رہتا ہے۔
ٹیکس اخراجات رپورٹ 2025 ہمیں یہ تو بتاتی ہے کہ ہم سالانہ 8.7 ارب ڈالر کا نقصان برداشت کر رہے ہیں، لیکن یہ نہیں بتاتی کہ اس سے فائدہ کس کو پہنچ رہا ہے۔ تاہم، ہم جانتے ہیں۔

میرے گھریلو ملازم کے گاؤں میں ٹرانسفارمر کل جل گیا۔ لیسکو کے ایک پرانے مہربان ceo کو فون کیا کے کسی کو فون کریں اور مہربانی فرمائیں ۔ ملازمین نے ٹرانسفارمر مرمت کردیا اور 80000روپے لیے اور مرمت کردیا۔ گاؤں والوں نے چندہ جمع کرکے لیسکو کے ملازمین کو ادا کردیا۔ رسید کسی نے نہیں دی۔ باقی آپ اندازہ لگا سکتے ھیں ۔ یہ حال ھے کہ ایک سابق بجلی کا وزیر سفارشی ھو اور موجودہ کابینہ کا رکن بھی ھو اسکی سفارش پہ بھی واردات سے گریز نہیں کیا جاتا۔ عام صارف کا کیا حال ھو گا۔ رقم کی باقاعدہ ادائیگی ھوئ ھے ۔ لیسکو رسید سے انکاری ھے
