@mustafaakin Therapy could quickly turn to trauma, if there is power fluctuation

@NusratHussain02 Good point actually.

Learned this in Thai, where you've to stand up during their king's anthem before movie starts in cinema. Not standing is considered rude.

Anthems are traditions, abiding by is voluntary but one of those where err on the side of caution is served better.

@NusratHussain02 Everything aside. Just letting IK complete tenure was it.

@MayubM @Taimur_Laal Our own lack of productivity is keeping us on the receiving end.

Another way to look at it is from Turkey point of view, they have not been dependent on Saudi as we have been, yet they chose this alliance.

Stronger defence brings economic value as well.

[Umar Farooq @umarfarooq]

@MayubM @Taimur_Laal Its only realistic to be expected to contribute in ways that you can when you've been on the receiving end for the most part viz. financial support

[Umar Farooq @umarfarooq]

@Taimur_Laal Pakistan has to honor its pacts. Period.

[Umar Farooq @umarfarooq]

@sabeer Its a failure of leadership on both sides. 1947 was supposed to end and settle the communal issues, not convert them into permanent hostility. There is zero common sense in continuing this cycle of anger.

[Umar Farooq @umarfarooq]

@MeherJazibAli Thanks. That explains it.

[Umar Farooq @umarfarooq]

@MeherJazibAli Any evidence to evil / exploitative practices / unfair contracts ?

[Umar Farooq @umarfarooq]

@Asad_Ashah Our bureaucracy has discovered this method of approving with dissent. In some cases they haven't read the file, thought through the contents, just followed what the process demanded. To cover the lack of interest in their work, write a dissent note so it cant come back to bite.

@icelandcricket Don't be too sure. House of cards is more stable.

@Cricknight07 Relegate to associates

[Umar Farooq @umarfarooq]

@faizanlakhani Team doesn't deserve this level anymore, should be relegated to associates.

[Umar Farooq @umarfarooq]

@Asad_Umar And any idea about the kind of people PTI incarcerated ?

While this may very well be unnecessary and wrong on its own, your government wasn't any better.

[Umar Farooq @umarfarooq]

@najam_ali 1) A major challenge is the capability gap in the bureaucracy to execute the intent and direction. 2) Overall low productivity in the country will take time to improve and our governing system mostly finds itself short on time

[Umar Farooq @umarfarooq]

@hashurtag It is difficult for most people to disengage cause from subsequent action. He is clear that while cause is 100% legit, capability should have a bearing on action.

[Umar Farooq @umarfarooq]

@nawabasadjutt Right. So next time when you need investment, no one shows up because you just cancel contracts when they start going out of favor.

For anyone visiting Islamabad, your trip isn’t complete if you don’t see Lahore

[Syed Muzammil Shah @SyedMuzammilOFL]

What a country !! Took a loan from the IMF, then stopped a potential World War, also attacked Afghanistan, talked ceasefire with China, then became a Global Peacemaker, also stood with Iran, then condemned attack on KSA, then negotiated with Trump while the nation watched PSL.
