Greetings to all Pakistanis at home and abroad.
As 2025 draws to a close, we look back with gratitude and humility, and move ahead with renewed resolve.
The past year has tested our nation in many ways, but it has also reaffirmed our collective strength and self-belief.
Through perseverance, discipline, and difficult yet necessary decisions, we have worked to stabilize the economy, restore confidence, and place Pakistan firmly on the path of economic recovery and sustainable growth.
These achievements have not come easily. They are the result of the hard work, patience, and sacrifices of the Pakistani people.
I salute you for your resilience and your faith in the future of our country.
Over the past year, we responded to the aggression of enemies and countered the menace of terrorism with matchless courage and bravery, both on the battlefield and in negotiation rooms. Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir demonstrated exemplary military leadership that the whole world has come to respect and admire. We are immensely proud of our army, our air force and our navy who taught our enemy that wars are won with heart and not by hubris.
We have also taken meaningful steps to strengthen economic fundamentals, improve governance, expand social protection, and lay the groundwork for long-term development. From fiscal discipline and structural reforms to renewed momentum in investment, exports, and energy security, Pakistan has begun to move forward with renewed confidence.
Our efforts are guided by our collective resolve to build a stable, self-reliant, and prosperous Pakistan that delivers opportunity and dignity to every citizen.
This year also reminded us of the enduring spirit of our nation. We commemorated historic milestones, honoured our martyrs and heroes, and renewed our commitment to peace, unity, and national solidarity.
Innovation, technology, and human capital remain central to our national journey. We are investing in education, skills, digital transformation, and emerging technologies to empower our youth and unlock Pakistan’s immense potential. From agriculture and industry to information technology and renewable energy, we are determined to raise productivity, encourage innovation, and create jobs as sustainable growth begins with opportunity and hope for our young people.
We also remain committed to nurturing Pakistan’s rich cultural and spiritual heritage. Our traditions, arts, and diverse cultural expressions are a source of strength and pride. We must ensure that our values, identity, and social cohesion continue to flourish alongside progress.
At the heart of all our efforts lies the well-being of our people. We are expanding social safety nets, improving healthcare and education, supporting farmers and workers, and ensuring that growth is inclusive. When every household feels secure and hopeful, the nation grows stronger.
Pakistan continues to engage the world with confidence and responsibility. We remain committed to peace, regional stability, multilateral cooperation, and a rules-based international order. At a time of global uncertainty and conflict, Pakistan will continue to advocate dialogue over confrontation, development over division, and cooperation over unilateralism.
With unity, discipline, and hard work, we shall build a Pakistan that is economically strong, socially just, and resilient in the face of challenges.
The journey may be long, but our resolve is firm.
As the sun of the New Year rises, may our beloved motherland stand tall in dignity and strength. May our fields yield abundance, our homes be filled with peace, and our nation move forward in the light of hope and opportunity. May every Pakistani enjoy a life of purpose and achieve success in their endeavours. May all your dreams find fulfillment.
Happy New Year to you and your loved ones.
Donald Trump isn’t holding back,he confirmed the loss of 7 Indian Air Force fighter jets during operation Sindoor and said India has pledged for surrender to Pakistan.
It is obvious that India is lying about their kill counts.
They provided zero evidence, not even circumstantial ones.
It's also scientifically impossible for the S-400 to shoot down a maneuvering target at 300km of range.
🔹The longest disputed kill of the S-400 system was done by Russia in Ukraine, shooting down a Su-24 at 200km of range. Which is the practical limit to hit a target that's changing its velocity all the time.
🔹Surface to air missiles do not lock onto a target and then chase it.
They calculate an optimal trajectory and fly towards the most likely point of intercept.
But against a maneuvering target like an aircraft, that is doing evasive maneuvers, this predicted intercept point constantly changes.
The stated 300km to 400km range for air defense missiles are against targets that are moving in a straight line.
🔹The air defense missile only has enough rocket propellent for a dozen or so seconds of acceleration, it will glide the rest of the way.
Against a moving aircraft that constantly changes its velocity, the missile will spend more energy to turn and target the new predicted intercept point.
Which means the practical range of air defense missiles are often half of the stated max range.
🔹The Indian S-400s are also deployed ~150km away from the Pakistan border, so unless the Pakistani AWACS was flying within 50km of the border (they were not), then the S-400 do not have the range to shoot it down.
The claims of shooting down fighters at any range beyond 220km is ridiculous to begin with.
🔹It's also hilarious how India just so happens to have "shot down" one more manned aircraft than the Pakistan air force's confirmed kills. And the indians just so happens to have "shot down" an AWACS.

Why Your Salary Will Never Make You Rich (And What Will)👇🏻
Let me ask you a hard question: How many people do you know who became wealthy from their salary alone?
The truth? Almost none.
Your salary is a treadmill—it keeps you moving, but never ahead. Inflation eats it. Taxes shrink it. Lifestyle creep wastes it. And no matter how high you climb, you’re still trading time for money.
The Harsh Reality…
David Ogilvy once said,
"Don’t bunt. Aim out of the ballpark."
Most professionals bunt—they rely on incremental raises, bonuses, and promotions. But real wealth isn’t built by earning more; it’s built by owning more.
The Escape Plan
The richest people don’t work for money—they make money work for them. How?
Invest in Assets – Stocks, real estate, businesses. These grow while you sleep.
Compound Relentlessly – A 20% annual return turns ₨100,000 into ₨1 crore in 25 years.
Break the Employee Mindset – Salary is safety, but ownership is freedom.
BONUS:
The government after many years just gave you a gift – an extra 7,000/month in your paycheck.
How? By reducing tax rates on salary. Even if you spend like before and invest this 7,000/month and increase this amount by 10% every year, it will compound to become 7 crores in 25 years.
Your Next Move?
If you’re ready to stop bunting and start hitting home runs, the door is open.

Because your salary won’t make you rich. But your decisions will.
عمران خان کو برسوں سے بڑے قریب سے دیکھا ہے۔ ان کی larger than life شخصیت ، خوفناک نرگسیت پسندی اور بڑی بڑی باتوں سے ایک بات واضح ہے کہ اس ملک میں ہر قسمی وزیراعظم چل جاتے ہیں اگر فوج کےچند جرنیلوں کا ہاتھ آپ کی کمر پر ہو۔
خان صاحب صرف چندہ اکھٹا کر کے خیراتی ہسپتال،سکول کالج یا ٹرسٹ تو چلا سکتے ہیں ، ملک چلانا یا دنیا ساتھ چلنا ان کے بس کی بات تھی نہ ہے۔ کوئی بھی بندہ اپنی قابلیت سے بڑھ کر کوئی بھی کام یا عہدہ پکڑے گا تو وہ اپنے ساتھ ساتھ اس ادارے، تنظیم اور ملک ساتھ بھی زیادتی کرے گا اور تباہی مقدر ہوگی۔ خان صاحب کا اگر Tragic Flaw ڈھونڈنا ہو تو وہ ایک ہے کہ وہ اپنی صلاحیت سے زیادہ کا عہدہ قبول کر بیٹھے تھے کیونکہ جنرل باجوہ کو 2019 میں مدت ملازمت میں توسیع ، جبرل فیض کو 2022 میں ان کے بعد آرمی چیف بننا تھا اور آئی ایس پی آر کے ایک سابق جنرل کو جنرل فیض بعد ڈی جی آئی ایس آئی لگنا تھا۔
اپنی اپنی بے پناہ بلکہ بے لگام خواہشات کے غلام ان تین جرنیلوں کو اس کام کے لیے اس وقت مفید بندہ اکیلا عمران خان ہی لگا تھا۔جبکہ دوسری طرف اپنے تئیں عمران خان ان تینوں جرنیلوں کی بے لگان خواہشات کو اپنے مقصد کے لیے استمعال کررہا تھا تاکہ وہ کسی قیمت پر وزیراعظم بن سکے۔
تاریخ میں اگر کسی (فکشنل ہی سہی )کردار سے عمران خان کا موازنہ ہوسکتا ہے وہ انگریز ڈرامہ نگار کرسٹوفر کا ڈاکٹر فاوسسٹس ہے۔ وہ ڈاکٹر فاوسسٹ جسے چاہے اپنی روح کا سودا شیطان سے ہی کیوں نہ کرنا پڑے لیکن دنیاوی خواہشات/عیاشی کا پانا اس کے لیے اہم تھا جس میں دنیا کی خوبصورت خاتون ہیلن آف ٹرائے کا حصول بھی شامل تھا۔
عمران خان اگر سمجھے تو اس کا دشمن کوئی بھی نہیں تھا۔خان کا اصل دشمن ڈاکٹر فاوسٹس کی طرح اس کی اپنی بے پناہ خواہشات ہی تھیں جس کے لیے وہ ہر لحمے اپنی روح کا سودا کرتا چلا گیا۔
وہی بات کہ عمران خان چندے سے ہسپتال، سکول کالج یا ٹرسٹ چلانے کے لیے بنا تھا۔باقی کے کام اس نے فالتو میں پکڑ لیے تھے جو اس کی صلاحیت سے اوپر تھے۔
اگر آج اس تنہا، سرد اور اداس رات میں جیل کے سیل میں عمران خان کو کسی پر غصہ کرنا چاہیے تو وہ خان صاحب خود ہی ہیں۔ آج رات وہ اپنے کٹہرے میں کھڑے ہو کر جج،جیوری اور جلاد کا کام کریں جیسے کبھی رومن سیاستدان بروٹس نے میدان جنگ میں رات گئے اپنے خیمے میں اپنے خلاف اپنی عدالت لگا لی تھی۔
اب تک عمران خان صاحب کے خلاف ہی عدالت لگتی رہی ہے۔آج رات زرا منظر بدل کر عمران خان اپنے خلاف خود ہی عدالت لگا کر تو دیکھیں کہ کیا فیصلہ آتا ہے۔
