Impressive expression of Solidarity with Palestine in the Heart of the West, in The Hague, where International Court of Justice is located!

Here we go again: yet another scandal, this time a daylight robbery, so soon after the PIMS tragedy, Sugar Mafia, HEC outrage on Afghan students, another Ponzi Scheme has come to light, actually, the ‘Mother of All Scams’ costing BILLIONS of DOLLARS: all these reflecting an Unholy Alliance, in fact, the TERRIBLE TROIKA of Politicians, Bureaucrats & Vested Interests/Lobbies! System failure is in Islamabad: failed policies, flawed mindsets! The answer lies NOT in blaming provinces or creating new provinces, but Reversing Wrongs where these emanate from: ISLAMABAD! At the very least, LIST of recipients of these $ 5.6 billion freebies to friends MUST be made Public!

I don’t get it - the Australian High Commissioner can go to Gilgit Baltistan and get a selfie taken with the magnificent Rakaposhi but Pakistan is apparently unsafe to travel and Australian citizens should “reconsider travel” to it

1. Pakistan cut diesel by Rs32.63/litre after one meeting with refineries.
2. Over the previous five months, Pakistan consumed about 3.23 billion litres of HSD.
3. If that Rs32 had been embedded across the national diesel pool, the consumer burden could be around Rs103 billion.
4. The question is simple: If Rs32 could disappear today, why was it being charged yesterday?

Heartiest congratulations on Pakistan’s Independence Day, grateful to be living in a free country! Allama Iqbal envisioned a free Muslim State, the Quaid-e-Azam, through his remarkable leadership, unimpeachable integrity, brilliance & unrelenting determination made it possible despite strong opposition by British imperialism, ably assisted by his noble sister, Madar-e-Millat Fatima Jinnah, who mobilised millions of women! Remembering the poignant words of Yasser Arafat while meeting him for an interview in 1990: ‘you Pakistanis are lucky you had a great leader who led you to freedom & independence, we Palestinians are still struggling to survive’! With developments in Modi’s India & Revolution in Bangladesh, the Two Nation Theory again stands vindicated!

Karoline Leavitt has one of the hardest jobs in the Administration — dealing with the relentless attacks from the fake news media. She did the job with grace, wit and a smile on her face. She’s been one of the most effective voices in articulating and defending the President’s agenda, and I’m incredibly grateful to her. I’ve had the opportunity to get to know Karoline over the past few years, and I know how difficult yet rewarding a constant job like this can be for a young parent. We’re sad to see her go, but I know she’ll continue to do great things.

پچھلے 5 سال میں بغیر بجلی بنائے کپیسٹی پیمنٹ کے نام پر سات ہزار ارب نجی بجلی گھروں کو ادا کئے گئے ہیں یہ رقم 25 ارب 18 کروڑ ڈالر بنتی ہے
پاکستان کی معیشت کو ڈبونے کے لئے ایک یہی چیز کافی ہے

This is Norway's Foreign Minister, arriving in Pakistan on a commercial flight, carrying his own luggage.

This is why Norway is a welfare state. Nothing happens in isolation.

Happy Independence Day, Pakistan! The United States was proud to be one of the first nations to recognize Pakistan’s independence. Over the past eight decades, our friendship has only grown stronger. To our friends across Pakistan celebrating today, we wish you peace, joy, and a wonderful day with loved ones. From Chargé d’Affaires Natalie A. Baker and the U.S. diplomatic mission in Pakistan: Jashn-e-Azadi Mubarak! #USAinPakistan

یومِ آزادی مبارک! امریکہ کو یہ فخر حاصل ہے کہ وہ قیام پاکستان کے بعد اسے تسلیم کرنے والے ابتدائی ممالک میں شامل تھا۔ پچھلے اسّی سالوں میں ہماری دوستی اور بھی مضبوط ہوئی ہے۔ آج جشن آزادی منانے والے پاکستان کے سب دوستوں کے لیے ہماری طرف سے امن، خوشی اور اپنوں کے ساتھ ایک زبردست دن کی نیک تمنائیں – ناظم الامور نیٹلی اے بیکر اور پاکستان میں امریکی سفارتی مشن کی طرف سے جشنِ آزادی مبارک !

Historic Makkah Joint Defence Agreement signed 🇵🇰🇸🇦🇹🇷
#MakkahDefenceAgreement

[Shehbaz Sharif @CMShehbaz]

Honoured to sign the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement alongside my dear brothers, HRH Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and H.E. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Three brotherly nations, united by faith, friendship and a shared resolve for peace and security.

May this historic pact, signed in the shadow of the Haramain, remain a shield of peace for generations to come and may it bring prosperity for our three brotherly countries as well as for the Ummah.

I would especially like to express my deep appreciation for Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir whose untiring efforts and utmost dedication contributed immensely towards this great cause.

Bugün Suudi Arabistan Veliaht Prensi ve Başbakanı Muhammed bin Selman’ın nazik davetine icabetle Mekke-i Mükerreme’ye bir ziyaret gerçekleştirdik.

Ziyaretimde aziz kardeşlerim Suudi Arabistan Veliaht Prensi ve Başbakanı Muhammed bin Selman ve Pakistan Başbakanı Şahbaz Şerif’le bir araya geldik.

Bu vesileyle üç ülke olarak Ortak Savunma Anlaşması imzaladık.

Kolektif caydırıcılığı temel alan bu anlaşma, güvenlik ve savunma iş birliğimizin ilerletilmesine, savunma sanayisinde ortak projeler geliştirilmesine ve terörizmle mücadeleye katkı sağlayacaktır.

BM Şartı’nın 51’inci maddesinde tanımlanan savunma hakkını da teyit eden anlaşma, hiçbir ülkeyi hedef almadığı gibi bölgemizin huzurunu, refahını ve istikrarını amaçlayan tüm kardeş ülkelerin katılımına açıktır.

Türkiye, bölgesel sahiplenme vizyonu doğrultusunda çatışma ve krizlerin uluslararası hukuka saygı temelinde, diyalog ve diplomasiyle çözüme kavuşturulmasına yönelik ilkeli tutumunu kararlılıkla sürdürecektir.

Ziyaretimizin, istişarelerimizin ve imzaladığımız anlaşmanın tüm bölgemiz için hayırlara vesile olmasını Rabb’imden niyaz ediyorum.

Diesel Regional Watch:
Pakistan raised HSD another Rs3.37/litre today, 28 July, from Rs383.46 to Rs386.83/litre. Petrol, notably, was cut by Re1.

[Rana Atif @Rana_Atif101]

Procuring wheat from other country at 4675 per 40 kg and giving our own farmer 3000 per 40 kg. Economic management at best. No wonder we are in this economic mess.

پٹرول سستا ہونے پر مہینے بعد بھی نہیں پہنچتا تھا

مہنگا ہونے پر روزانہ پہنچتا ہے۔

بھارتی چیف جسٹس اور حکومت صرف"یوتھ"کو کاکروچ سمجھتی تھی

جبکہ ہماری یہ حکومت ساری عوام کو"کاکروچ"بھی سمجھتی ہے اور چ بھی۔

تیل،بجلی،گیس،آٹا۔۔مہنگا
یا شارٹیج
زیادہ عوامی ردعمل آئے تو
احسان عظیم کر کے چند دن لیے کے لیے تھوڑا سا ریلیف دے دیتے ہیں
اور چند دنوں میں
پھر واپس۔۔پرانی ڈگر پر آ جاتے ہیں۔
4 سال میں بہتری کے بجائے بدترین معاشی بدتری کی طرف گئے ہیں۔
