@Fahdhusain hits the nail on the head!
IMF will be blamed during the budget season but——
“The system as it is constructed in its present form will never change. Will never reform. The governing elite, regardless of which party, which institution or which civil services batch they belong, have too much invested in this rotting system to change it. Tinker it, yes. Reform it, no”
@PakiSwift Judging by the heavy PPP/SSU presence in Skardu, the estb seems to have chosen PPP. However, fair elections would likely yield a hung parliament, with PML-N having a slight edge because they hold the center. Ultimately, people vote for whoever controls the development funds.
Many in Pakistan don't know this, but the people of AJK are not Kashmiris.
Ethnic Kashmiris live in the Kashmir Valley or in different cities of Punjab. Most of the Kashmiris of Punjab, having arrived here decades or sometimes centuries ago, have assimilated fully, while the recent arrivals, the post-1947 migrants or people who came here in the 1990s, are culturally and politically still Kashmiris and are termed as refugees.
It's their representation in the AJK assembly (which is theoretically a representative assembly of the whole of Kashmir) that the people of AJK want scuttled.
The people of AJK are ethnic Paharis and, in the case of Bhimber, Punjabis. Their antics should never inform or affect our sentiments and opinions about Kashmiris of the occupied valley.
Both are two different peoples, having nothing in common except a British/Dogra-created ahistorical vassal state of Jammu, Kashmir, and Aksai Tibet, which was a forced union of the ethnically different regions of Kashmir, Jammu, Aksai Chin, and modern Gilgit-Baltistan.
People of AJK are Paharis/Punjabis, and people of occupied Kashmir are Kashmiris.

@devgru1980mi@conlin_lauren SSP is deeply compartmentalized your right hand wouldn’t know what your left is doing. He worked for the USAF and AFRL. Officially retired on paper, but with SAPs, layered SCIs, linked with SSP, continuity of command is everything.
