The global landscape is shifting at an unprecedented pace, and geopolitical realignment is no longer an option, it is a necessity. In this evolving environment, Pakistan remains firmly committed to safeguarding its national interests with clarity and resolve.

but by national purpose and regional realities.

Pakistan will continue to engage with Afghanistan on the basis of mutual respect, sovereignty, and non-interference, while unapologetically prioritizing its own security, stability, and development.

پچھلے گيارہ ماہ میں بارہ ارب ڈالر بجلی بنانے والی کمپنیوں کو دے دیئے گئے۔
یا قریب قریب اتنی ہی رقم ہے جتنی پچھلے تین سال میں آئی ایم ایف سے قرض لی ہے۔
یعنی باہر سے ڈالر پکڑ کر بجلی بنانے والی کمپنیوں میں تقسیم۔

پاکستان کی تاریخ کی یہ سب سے بڑی ڈکیتی اور خیانت اور معاشی دہشت گردی ہے۔ چند سیاسی جماعتیں جو اس وقت حکومت میں ہیں پاکستان کا خون نچوڑ رہی ہیں۔

یہ ترانہ پاکستان بننے کے بعد بنایا گیا تھا۔۔ جب پاکستان بنانے والے بڑے ایک ایک کر کے گزر رہے تھے۔ انے والی نسل کو نصیحت کی گئی تھی کہ اس پاک سرزمین کی حفاظت کرنا۔ اج بھی استرانے کو سنیں تو انکھوں میں انسو ا جاتے ہیں۔۔

برسوں کے بعد اڑے پرچم ہلال کے۔۔۔۔

اس جملے کے اندر چھپے چھپے ہوئے جذبات محبت پیار عشق اور امید کو سمجھ سکتے ہو؟
صدیوں کے بعد اسلام کا پرچم لہرایا تھا۔۔۔ اب اس کی حفاظت کرنی ہے سر دھڑ کی بازی لگا کر۔

@ahmedalikhan01 Ahmed forget to watch Tax returns.

@MichaelKugelman Until we learn to separate party sponsored drama from real grievance, we will keep destabilizing ourselves, not for any cause, but for the interests of a handful of politicians who see the state as their personal inheritance.

[Sierra Wilco @Wilco1947]

@MichaelKugelman We have confused political loyalty with civil resistance. People show up by the millions when a politician tells them to, but stay home when teachers, doctors, and farmers ask for their basic rights. We burn our own cities to save a few leaders sitting in their fortified homes.

[Sierra Wilco @Wilco1947]

@MichaelKugelman Pakistan's protests are about power. Genuine protests are about policy.
Anarchy on the streets. Protection of incompetent and corrupt leadership. A permanent state of instability that discourages investment and governance. And absolutely nothing for the policy reforms.

[Sierra Wilco @Wilco1947]

@itxbeenishhere When we talk about protests in Pakistan, we need to be honest about what they actually are.
Over the last decade, 99% of mass mobilizations have been about two things:

1. Forcing a sitting government out before its term ends
2. Protecting a party leader from legal accountability

Correction for above data.
Rank by size:

1️⃣ Debt servicing – 42.9%
2️⃣ Defence – 16.0%
3️⃣ IPPs & power subsidies – 10.8%

Defence isn't #1. It's #2
Calling it the "biggest" is mathematically incorrect and distracts from the real drains

Claiming defence is the "biggest slice" of Pakistan's FY26-27 budget.
That's wrong.
Numbers are
•Debt servicing: Rs. 8,054 Bn (42.9%)
•Defence: Rs. 3,000 Bn (16.0%)
•IPPs/power subsidies: Rs. 2,034 Bn (10.8%)
Debt is 2.7x larger than defence. Let that sink in.

8/8The real waste isn't defence. It's debt interest and IPP capacity payments, which give us zero security, zero development, and zero jobs.

Fix debt. Fix energy. Protect defence. That's the real reform agenda.

7/8 Managing strategic projects (CPEC security, nuclear assets, maritime security)

Rs. 3 Trillion isn't excessive, it's what a country of 240+ million in a tough neighbourhood needs.
