If George can have it, so can I.

[Ahmed Ali Khan @ahmedalikhan01]

For the last atleast 4 years Pakistan’s Military top brass has rigged multiple elections, killed multiple journalists, harassed 100’s if not thousands of women both sexually and morally by law enforcement agencies , threatened them with rape all across Pakistan just to shun voices of dissent. Put wives and female family members of political activists and politicians in jail to blackmail them, delivered a life sentence to Mahrang baloch in a sham trial by kangroo courts, put pregnant Iman Mazari a prominent human rights activist and her husband behind bars for literally a “tweet”. But Malala would never talk about that. I wonder why?

@aneelbutt87 @eversmann_hoot Yes. These so called speciality coffee places are sophisticated spots as an alternative for Quetta chai culture. A real place would be open by 8 at most.

[Zubair Ahmed Khan @ZubairKhanPK]

Great increase more and more size of already bloated Govts delivering nothing in return!

Care to tell how much Investment SIFC Brought, we know the Famours Pakistan Tobacco Export Order Fiasco you couldnt get a single approval, what is the use of this Expense?

[Jibran Ilyas @agentjay2009]

What General Bajwa and General Asim Munir have done with their institution is the most cruel and most expensive thing:

They have taken away their pride and credibility. These things might be intangibles but someone’s ability to take pride in their identify is the most prized thing for individuals. These Generals have stripped that from their people, which is very cruel and perhaps unforgivable by the victims and the Nation who once adored them.

People of Pakistan (within the country and the ones living abroad) are still in shock because of the letdown they have been witnessing since April 2022.

The fascism and injustice must stop asap! Nobody likes hating and giving ill wishes, there is a lot of power in love … May Allah guide them and fascism ends in our beloved country. Pakistan Zindabad!

@ZubairKhanPK Wait for touts and sellouts a like to defend this and sell it as for your digital revolution

[Imran @postsbyimran]

Quite a steal considering the way ram prices are going now and companies exploiting that out of their consumers. Hetzner has rubbish support anyways!

[Waqas @worqas]

I purchased this guy off Amazon last year for $960. Check what the price for the exact same thing is on Amazon now.
Consumers are being priced out of hardware. Your 401k money and savings are being used against you to create compute monopolies. This is serious.

[Imran @postsbyimran]

Moved away from hetzner recently. Their sign up is atrocious as well. This pricing is ridiculous!

[0.005 Seconds (3/694) @seconds_0]

As of today, Hetzner has tripled their prices. Only existing instances are grandfathered in.

Good luck out there. Access to the future will not be free.

[Imran @postsbyimran]

@ThisHaroon One look at his timeline and follower list, you can tell he is a sellout.

[Hussain Nadim @HNadim87]

They probably had these tweets saved in their draft for months, itching to post at the first sign of a deal.

The regime agents jumping to hog credit for the Army Chief, making sure not to even remotely credit or mention the efforts of the Foreign Office, the PM, FM, or anyone else in the country who contributed to this effort.

Reflects the entirety of what their main interest was in the peace deal: A strengthened military dictatorship at home.

[Imran @postsbyimran]

One look at the tax slabs and what revision has been offered tells you it is nothing but a penny change.

How about properly charging tax for real estate, construction and retail sector?

Property dealer mulk chala rahay hain!

[Muneeb Farooq @muneebfaruqpak]

After years of exploitation owing to heavy tax burden, Pakistan’s salaried class finally gets some relief.

The federal budget introduces noticeable tax relief across salary slabs , and importantly, imposes no new tax on salaried individuals.

A welcome step by the government. It was much needed.

[Hussain Nadim @HNadim87]

This is the only story that matters when it comes to Pakistan. 👇

For nearly 3 years former Prime Minister Imran Khan has been in a death cell, and from what the reports suggest, has gone blind in one eye due to torture at the hands of the current brutal military dictatorship in Pakistan. And for last 6 months especially he has been in total isolation facing psychological torture with no meetings with family.

This is how terrorists are treated in prison cells the way former Prime Minister, a Cricketing Hero, and someone who built cancer hospitals for the poorest in the country is being treated.

At the moment there is no proof of his life and has become a missing person by an illegitimate military regime. This unpopular regime is only able to maintain its grip on power through foreign endorsement and backing from Western liberal democracies, Arab Monarchies, and the US that find a compliant military dictator in Pakistan to be more useful than a stable and sovereign democracy.

The ultimate price of a dictatorship is paid by the 240 million people in the country.

Free Imran Khan!

[Imran @postsbyimran]

Troll but accurate AF

[Taimur Saleem Khan Jhagra @Jhagra]

A budget without a plan is about as useful as Ahsan Iqbal's Uraan vision documents...

Property dealer kon hain?!

IMF Agrees to Cut Taxes on Purchase and Sale of Property in Pakistan.

They want Property Black Money market to revive again?

[Hammad Azhar @Hammad_Azhar]

5th budget by a govt not elected by the people.

[Ali Haider Zaidi @AliHZaidiPTI]

This budget should make your blood boil. Let me show you why.

Pakistan's interest payments this year: Rs. 8,054 billion.

Pakistan's entire development budget, roads, dams, hospitals, schools, everything: Rs. 1,000 billion.

Eight rupees go to debt service for every one rupee invested in this country. This is not a budget. This is a confession.

Understand what this debt is. It was not borrowed to build Pakistan. Over the years, it was borrowed by corrupt politicians who were simultaneously busy building their own empires, inside and outside of Pakistan.

Now you and I are paying interest on their corruption.

Government will borrow another Rs. 7,000 billion on top of everything that already exists.
Borrow to pay interest on previous borrowing.

This is a debt trap and we are in it.

And they took out full page newspaper adverts at your expense to celebrate it.

Now let's look at Bangladesh. Same region. Same starting point. Very different choices.

Bangladesh total budget: $76 billion. Pakistan: $60 billion.

Bangladesh development spending: $24 billion. Pakistan: $3.6 billion.

Bangladesh interest payments: $10.4 billion. Pakistan: $29 billion.

Bangladesh education budget: $6.9 billion. Pakistan, federal and all four provinces combined: $3.5 billion.

They have 83 million fewer people than us and still spend twice as much educating them.

Bangladesh defence: $3.5 billion. Pakistan defence: $10.8 billion.

We spend 3 times more on defence than Bangladesh and our interest bill is 8 times their entire defence budget.

They are spending 6.5 times more on building their country than we are. And they are paying a third of what we pay in interest.

Now look at what this has done to our people.

Pakistan's GDP and Bangladesh's GDP are almost identical, around $450 billion each.
But Pakistan has 83 million more people.

Bangladesh's income/person: $2,621.
Pakistan: $1,901.
There taka is 122/dollar
Our Rs is 278/dollar

Poverty in Pakistan: 44.7%.
Poverty in Bangladesh: 5.9%.

Literacy in Pakistan: 60% (doubtful)
Literacy in Bangladesh: 77%

Once again our interest payments:
Rs. 8,054 billion.
Our defence budget: Rs. 3,000 billion. Interest payments are 2.7 times the defence budget.

This is far more damning than anything else!

I want to say something clearly. If this trajectory is not broken in the next two to three years, the security of this country will become unaffordable.

This is not a political statement.
This is basic maths.

These numbers are not accidental.
This is what elite capture looks like.

Wake up.

This hypocrite thinks relief to real estate and construction sector is going to help common people. All an eyewash!

[Kamran Khan @AajKamranKhan]

BREAKING: Pakistan may be set for its most business-friendly budget under Shahbaz Sharif Government .

A federal cabinet source says the IMF has approved key concessions sought by Islamabad, including a possible cut in the super tax, relief for the salaried class, and incentives for real estate and construction.

The federal cabinet source claims the government has managed to strike a rare balance between IMF discipline and economic growth.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is said to have played a pivotal role in securing the final understanding.

The budget today could signal a shift from pure stabilization toward growth, investment and business confidence.

[Imran @postsbyimran]

When Russia hosted the World Cup in 2018, it had to suspend normal visa rules for the tournament. Foreigners with tickets could enter visa-free, using a scheme called ‘Fan ID.’

Russia also had to do weird stuff to keep FIFA’s sponsors happy. For example, small shops near Fan Zones and stadiums could only sell Budweiser beer on match days.

So yes, FIFA absolutely does dictate conditions to host governments when it suits FIFA. Infantino pretending otherwise is nonsense.

[Waqas @worqas]

This is usually a twitter meme but in this case it is literally 100% true. Her uncle was famous for kidnapping and raping women.

[Leyla Hamed @leylahamed]

This World Cup is going to be remembered for all the wrong reasons.
