Federal cabinet gives nod to imposition of emergency in KP; summary sent to president

[Forsvaret]

You can absolutely scrutinise the military's commercial interests and demand transparency without automatically opposing every organised development initiative associated with it. The question should be whether an initiative delivers jobs, skills, industrial capacity and tangible benefits to ordinary Pakistanis, not whether it carries a military-associated name.

There have been massive "development projects" like these during past military dictatorships. What has establishment to show for it in the long term socioeconomic health of the country as a whole? South Korea for example has been a military dictatorship in its past. But it didn't continue to remain on a self-destructive path like Pakistan...

Same came be said for "mega development projects" in civil admin... What does our much vaunted "Democracy" brigade have to show for their PR dance campaigns?

And besides, I keep hearing about Pakistan's "self-destructive" path for many years, fast-forward to 2026, Pakistan is still here.

But do keep, keeping on...

The more important question is: What has the 18th Amendment actually delivered? Provincial governments have enjoyed substantial autonomy for years, so we should be asking what they have achieved with those powers and how they have improved governance, public services, and the socioeconomic conditions of their respective populations?

Countries do not vanish in thin air — even after enduring a destructive war for years. Anyway, my point was that a dictatorship isn't inherently bad if it can show for it in the long-term sustainability of a country as a whole. South Korea was a dictatorship. China is a dictatorship. And yet both countries are miles ahead in socioeconomic development compared with Pakistan. If only Pakistan had such a benevolent dictatorship...

The even more important question is: What has three military dictatorships of the past actually delivered? What is the current one really delivering?

Again all I hear is the same old repeated broken record I read in other threads. Nothing new, time to get some new material.

I respect this line of inquiry, we as a nation have always been lax when it comes to holding all those in power regardless of their office or affiliation to account.

And often the more difficult conversations are drowned out by the popular "whinge of the day". Pakistani political discourse is very much like Yummy 36... 36 flavours, same old tired box.

See how the goons of PTI KPK government not only ripped off the nation of hundreds of billions of rupees but also supported the TTP/TTA terrorists in Afghanistan.

Calling other chore and dakku is cheap. The actual dokkus are these youthias.

No wonder all these youthias went bonkers in trying to create fuss out of 'minerals'.

Please provide evidence to support your claims. Don't just keep farting without any evidence.

Ok, then please respond to this "enemy" propaganda : Military establishment brought IK / PTI to power in 2018. Also: PTI / IK is doing "enemy's" propaganda since 2022.

Wait! Didn't you just earlier say that these minerals aren't actually buried in the ground but being "used" for terrorism in Pakistan? So which one is it? :

Kid, you need to grow up. Stop talking childish.

I don't think it is very difficult to understand Imran's playbook:
1) Use the expats Pakistanis in Western countries especially with some prominent names to try to influence the American policy to help Imran
2) #1: Not publicly owning that but not disowning that either--and doing so for many years.
3) If even the Indians or the Afghans (or the Israelis, though I don't have evidence of that yet): Then welcome those without explicitly owning such help.
4) With the 'Law of Diminishment Returns' taking over, even the current Spokesman of PTI Mr. Shaukat Yusufzai FINALLY distancing PTI from the likes of Dr. Shehbaz Gill and the likes by calling them 'BhagoRas' (cowardly fugitives). Too late, Mr. Yusufzai, too late! You are only doing so now that the expat 'Pakistanis' influence has run its course.

What my posts point toward since April 2022, when I started to part with my way Imran Khan, is a total condemnation of another Mujib ur Rehman of Pakistan re-incarnated as Imran Khan. My posts in the old PDF of around or before the April 2022 are there for people to see. I was not and will never be putting some person above Pakistan's interests.

Pakistan Hamesha Zindabad! And Pakistan's enemies, like Imran Khan, Hamesha Murdabad!
