latest @Rout_PoliticsIR Timely critique on #HumanDevelopment & #ODA; my piece contrasts the #Chinese-led Development model with the Western International Economic Order and deals with #CPEC #BRI challenges and policy issues. https://t.co/gpC6VkixSw

Thanks again to my father - who will live forever in memories 💖🙏

“The only reason I’m talking to you here today is my father. It’s very important to educate fathers. We need to invest in them. Being a good role model to young people, especially as a father or husband, is way more impactful than investing millions of dollars.” – @uzmashraf

@hasaankhawar By the way yeh Bhai sb present a classic picture of our typical Paki mentality!
Couldn't read beyond a couple lines, wondering how did I pass the CSS :P

Stillbirth & #neonatal #mortality rates are about twice as high in #SouthAsia as in #subSaharanAfrica. #Pakistan, unfortunately, the country has the highest rate of newborn deaths in the world and one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the region.

@hasaankhawar Get happy!

Why the SOS mission visiting in September than the scheduled November meetings?

[Ministry of Finance, Government of Pakistan @Financegovpk]

Reform agenda fully on track, no need to renegotiate IMF programme.

[Dr. Uzma Ashraf Barton @uzmashraf]

So much for the optimism! Fingers cross!

[Mubashir Zaidi @Xadeejournalist]

Phir awaam ki sakhti.....Failing in meeting IMF targets, IMF to send SOS mission to Pakistan on 16th https://t.co/519Yij5BXp

@johntamny I know what you mean and I'm an avid reader of yours at #RCM but having lived in #Karachi, it is the lack of accountable governance. No dearth of ultra rich though.

[Dr. Uzma Ashraf Barton @uzmashraf]

Thanks to the rich and superrich here, power is a given, so is trash collection, so is drainage.. thanks to the #RuleOfLaw here that brings #accountability and empowers everyone which is missing in #Karachi @johntamny https://t.co/Tzzt8r3uSR

[Dr. Uzma Ashraf Barton @uzmashraf]

@johntamny 'capitalist production has already enabled the production of better drainage systems, better garbage collection, and much better power infrastructure'... Aren't these the few things a #govt is supposed to provide? Sadly, #Karachi is also as #unequal as one can imagine

They really believed they'd be able to keep something that deep in Indian territory...fool's paradise!

Liaqat said, "why shall I trade Hyderabad with mere mountains of Kashmir".

[Dr. Uzma Ashraf Barton @uzmashraf]

Sardar Patel offered #Jinnah that if #Pakistan did not encourage the #Nizam of #Hyderabad to join Pakistan or remain independent- then Pakistan could keep #Kashmir. Why/who rejected that offer and lost both?

[Dr. Uzma Ashraf Barton @uzmashraf]

@murtazasolangi Read; and that's why wondering!!! @KofiAnnan announced in 2009 that #Kashmir falls under chap 6 (&not under#7) hence, is voluntary adoption by both India & Pakistan. #UNSC can not force/enforce.

[Dr. Uzma Ashraf Barton @uzmashraf]

Under the #SimlaAgreement #Pakistan agreed to accept #KashmirIssue as a bilateral matter in lieu of release of the 70,000 #POWs from East Pakistan, how @pid_gov now considers otherwise? Looking for grounds.

We all have our blinders but this kind of lefty revisionism takes the cake
