In 2008, the PCB imposed a fine of PKR 7 million (approximately $83,000 at the time) on Shoaib Akhtar for criticizing the board’s policies. The amount was deducted from his total earnings. He later challenged the decision in court, and in 2015, the court set aside the verdict. Subsequently, the PCB refunded the amount to him.
Comments tell you one reason why; people are sharing examples of awful roads that are death traps for pedestrians, what makes this road attractive is how walkable it looks so no your 6 lane highway with no signals and no easy way to get to either side on foot are not it
@Ammarzaheer Quality gap has been there for more than a decade but mentally stronger versions of our team have pulled upsets every now and then ab tou wo bhi possible nahi lagta at all. No more one minute down, next moment up - we are consistently drowning in mediocrity
Dont let consultants who worked on short term cosmetic projects and came out with a shiny resume tell you how impactful their jobs were when you can see the city (and country at large) has only gotten worse year on year. Raise your fucking bar FFs
I find it funny when anyone (but specially PMLN) try to make tall ‘development and governance’ claims. shareefs have been within power corridors for 40+ years, and the country has NOSEDIVED in all metrics that matter, left in the dust of almost all South Asian countries
“Ignorance is bliss” would apply if a false claim had been made. None was. I did not attribute the project to any party, nor did I deny the role of others.
The intent was simply to highlight KP’s infrastructure and natural beauty, especially in response to a growing narrative that the province has “nothing to show.” The aim was visibility and correction, not political ownership.
Development in Pakistan has always been the result of continuity across governments. CPEC is not the product of one party alone, just as KP’s progress cannot fairly be described as zero, nor is it without shortcomings.
PTI is the first political party in KP’s history to be elected consecutively three times. Such repeated electoral support does not emerge in the absence of performance, even if that performance remains open to critique and improvement.
PTI’s performance in KP has not been perfect, but it is also not as bleak as often portrayed. A balanced view serves the public better than extremes.
As a federal minister, this was an opportunity to de-escalate the ethnic and provincial polarization we are witnessing. Turning it into a partisan exchange only deepens divisions. That is the real difference between public office and paid political amplification.
Lahore; the flagship PMLN project is one of the most unlivable cities in the world; that shaves off years off of all of its residents lives every year due to smog. A burning concrete jungle with awful car centric planning, designed to connect few elite conclaves to each other
Imaan Zainab Mazari-Hazir and Hadi Ali Chattha fight for the disappeared, the brutalised, and the underserved. In terms of courage, they've gone charging where angels fear to tread. That is a far greater service to Pakistan than any by the authors of their sham trial.
Why you should care about their case, whatever your politics, is because the deprivation of their liberty will soon mean the deprivation of yours.
Please raise your voice. Their petition in the Supreme Court must be heard, and these absurd charges dropped.
