VULTURES PERCH WHERE EAGLES DARE - Insaf Blog
There are glaring aspects of Pakistan’s economic negatives that despite repeated rejoinders constantly go unnoticed. Why is it that from 2005 onwards, Pakistan’s economy suddenly began to become non-productive and in reds? This is despite the fact that astronomical amounts in local and foreign currency have been injected into the system. This includes over 30,000 billion in public and...

Next generations dream of a better Pakistan - Insaf Blog
"There was a generation that sacrificed and gave us a homeland - They even contributed to build it within meagre resources. Then came a generation that elected the likes of Zardari, Nawaz, Altaf, Fazlo and gave the next generation an impression that loot, ethnicity, corruption, fighting for basics is your destiny. This 3rd generation of Pakistan became detached to Pakistan, its...

OPENING SALVOS NOT BATSMEN - Insaf Blog
Asad Umar has resigned as finance minister of Pakistan. He was provided an exit he availed gracefully. My advice to him would be to stick to the core and resist temptation to become a sacrificial lamb for red herrings. The widely acclaimed poster boy was never cut for this job. Finance is a middle order position while opening batsmen are the home led growth and production. With his...

Waqt Chahiey - Insaf Blog by Hboor Fatima
وقت چاہیے. پاکستان لا الہ الا اللہ کے نظام کے نفاذ کے لیے دیکھا جانے والا وہ خواب ہے جو ستر سال پہلے پایہ تکمیل کو پہنچ چکا۔ خوابوں کو حقیقت کا متضاد سمجھا بھی اور کہا بھی جاتا ہے؛جو کہ سچ بھی ہے۔ الحمداللہ چشم فلک نے اقبال کے اس خواب کو جناح کے ہاتھوں حقیقت بنتے ہوئے دیکھا۔ گویا اس کو پانے کے لیے مسلمانوں کو عبرت ناک سزائیں برداشت کیں ۔ املاک تو گیا سو گیا۔۔۔۔۔...

Healthy criticism or mudslinging? Insaf Blog
Ever since PTI came into power, a strange and peculiar behavior has been observed spurting among a few fellows from our journalism community. As resentful as it may sound but a community that is ethically responsible for bringing the truth to masses holds a secret dark history which dates back to the era of Sharif’s, real and fake Bhutto’s and other minor political crooks. On one hand,...

Production and Consumption-led growth - Insaf Blog
The Minister of State for Revenue, Hammad Azhar’s article ‘The Economy in 2019’ is a brave attempt to justify many hard decisions of his government. Do his explanations of a consumption led growth, fiscal ill-discipline, domestic borrowing, exchange rate overvaluation, fiscal deficit and import export imbalance serve the ends of arresting the rot? This is an over simplification like...

A little piece of Heaven in Pakistan - Insaf Blog
While the chattering, thumbing, typing, opinionated, full stomached, overly wealthy, overly stupid and ignorant, so called elite of this country bitches and moans every day on WhatsApp and Facebook in drawing rooms and meeting rooms, many angels quietly slog away at making a difference in the life of the extremely vulnerable, poor and most at risk, in Pakistan! They impact the lives of...

Our hopes and aims are still high - Insaf Blog
ہمیں فخر ہے کہ ہم تحریک انصاف کے فرنٹ لائن مجاہدین میں رہے ہیں۔ آپ ہمیں نہ بتائیں کہ خدانخواستہ ہم پی ٹی آئی کی جیت کے لئے لڑنے پر شرمندہ ہیں۔ ہرگز نہیں ہم نے یہ جنگ چار ماہ چھ ماہ اور آٹھ ماہ کے پروپیگنڈوں کے جواب دینے کے لئے نہیں لڑی ۔ ہم نے یہ جنگ آٹھ ماہ سال کی ڈیڈ لائن کے لئے بھی نہیں لڑی۔ لیکن حیرت ان پر ہوتی ہے جن کی صبر کی ٹرین تین ماہ بعد ہی پٹری سے اتر گئی تھی اور...

Tried them all - Time to give HIM a chance - Insaf Blog
ایک لڑکا پولیس والے کے پاس دوڑتا ہوا آیا اور دور سے ہی کہنے لگا ۔ سر جی ساتھ والی گلی میں میرے ابو جی کو ایک شخص مار رہا ہے ، پولیس والا فوری ساتھ گیا دونوں کو چھڑوایا ۔ تھوڑی تفتیش سے پتا چلا کہ لڑائی تو کافی دیر سے ہورہی تھی ، تب ذرا رعب سے لڑکے کو بولا ۔ ابے تو پہلے کیوں نہیں آیا تھا میرے پاس ؟ سرجی وہ بات دراصل یہ ہے کہ پہلے میرے ابو جی اسے مار رہے تھے ، لڑکے نے جھجھکتے جھجھکتے جواب...

Fighting with oily hands is always slippery - Insaf Blog
Oil Price is a global phenomenon & our too much dependence on oil is a local phenomenon. We are a unique country in the world which is producing 30% plus energy through oil & that too imported oil. I had hoped that PTI could declare emergency on alternate energy. Unfortunately most of our energy experts in national energy task force comes from IPPs besides strong influence...

FANTASIA & FIRE - Insaf Blog
In war games, Fantasia is an imaginary rouge enemy Military diplomacy, strategic positioning and structures of commands are a well deliberated and articulated exercise that sometimes goes unnoticed to the public. Like diplomacy, these are like the unseen icebergs sunk below the water. Appearances are deceptive. Deep below lie the jagged and abrasive ends of political realism. The...
