Khan’s announcements to give up official residence and convoy of cars is already having a transformative impact on his followers in Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf
As Imran...
Following the transaction which is expected to be completed by November, Dassault Reliance Aerospace Ltd will become an associate company, with Reliance retaining a 49% stake.
From Munir’s point of view, a few bumps here and there is par for the course. He isn’t going to drive his dumper truck to its doom. He wants to use it as a weapon.
Haqqani is one of the most ambitious and dishonest people ever existed in the history of Subcontinent. This piece like most of his life is not only factually incorrect, it is purposely created to tarnish and defame one of the most hardworking, empathetic, beloved and accomplished leaders ever.
Imran reached here neither because he is a cricketing legend, nor did he accomplish this because of any windfall or shortcut. There’s a 22 years long struggle drenched in blood and sweat. Imran is everything Haqqani is not and never will be. I can write a book on the devilish character this b is and he has no clue the monumental tasks Imran undertook and the revolution he has brought in the region. Keep your fingers crossed and soon you will see.. Peace.. Z
Look who is talking ??Look into your own country ??Who you selected as PMO INDIA??Narendra Modi .The rest we know .The whole world is against the Imran khan specially India who is run by extremist now a days .Imran khan is the best PM OF Pakistan since its history .He is not like Nawaz sharif who bows down to other countries for help .He looks into the eyes of his enemies .This made India very upset and they are propagating hatred and false info about Imran Khan.Look into your own country ??Where it is heading ??
Before we look into our own country, you look into who this writer was and his nationality. Enlighten your Madrassa brainwashed excuse of a brain. We and Modi are doing fine, thanks for worrying.
Wake-up Mr . For the property of my country is to address corruption first. The rest will take off don’t worry !!!
Who was stopping haqqani’s patron saints nawaz and zardari from trying to increase exports? Haqqani’s gives a new meaning to intellectual dishonesty. Such hired foreign narrative peddlers pick and choose content to paint a certain picture.
Yeah, Hussain Haqqani is the one to talk. Wasn’t it already obvious when he was the ambassador to the US from Pakistan while being a U.S. citizen? Whose interest was he serving then? And whose interest is he serving now. He keeps talking in a manner that would appease the West. Why the heck should Imran Khan find the US war on terror to be of any importance? The truth is that Imran khan could teach the US what is in the best interest for U.S. as well. He said Pakistan would be an ally in peace. United States policy makers are corrupt too and they don’t acknowledge it either that peace is in the best interest of U.S. as well. War is only in the interest of interest groups who run the politicians who run the government which runs to country.
Haqqani has long been a pet of anti-pak elements and such venom doesn’t even register a minor note on any person who knows his treachery. His voice has converted into pitiful rants and will die a slow painful death into oblivion. A befitting end to a person who has sold his country
Imran Niazi not paying full income taxes & try to show he is honest man. His both the sisters have Billions of rupees in UAE. but they have no any industrial or productive business. His party come into power with the help of Judiciary & forces. He dont allow re counting of votes. How he arrange daily 5400 jobs till 1825 days where economy is al ready in problems. His party appoint daily 5400 persons in PIA/Railway/FIA/FBR/OGDC/Pakistan Steel/PEPCO etc . Those department are already White Elephants.
An opposing view is welcome but from a turncoat who let in terrorists in to Pakistan as its Ambassador in Washington, reading tecycled trash by a person who has been harboured to further foreign policy agenda of USA reeks of sewage.
Something strange happens when an outsider takes an insider-only-leadership:
The Left suddenly becomes xenophobic towards former ‘good countries’.
– Russia is evil
– Pak is evil, military rigged elections
– Modi is evil making Hindu Pakistan.
Now all three are discting and non-comparable but what unites them is solidarity of hate by Global Left! Left hear means: Democrats, PPP, INC. These enities will try every means to make sure the conflicts in the world keep going so they can take moral high ground and retain political power.
The author says corruption is not the biggest problem policy is. Yet a simple pedestrian debunking lies in the fact that corrupt officials are the very suppressors and antagonists of good policy. The author also ingores influences from western regime change operations in Pak.
It is unfortunate how a person’s bias may blind him. Just read Author’s book Reimagining Pakistan’ and compare it to Khan’s speech content. They are strikingly similar in raising common man’s problems addressing social issues and making Pakistan a welfare state. Bias got better of What’s left in Mr. Haqqani! Huh
An exiled person having no strength to face the courts criticising newly elected Pakistan PM. Speaks the language of his masters who now become irrelevant due to their era marred by incompetence and corruption.
Very well written. I have doubts though that the military and judiciary will somehow try to be Ny less partisan just to address their credibility issue. If that was a concern, they wouldn’t have indulged in such blatant misuse of their powers in first place.
Mr Haqqani had issues with the pak military ever since they exposed his nefarious designs to harm the country’s image and now he has developed IK phobia. His all writings are biased and thus predictable since the only point he wants to make is ‘pak military is responsible for all evils in the world’. While he enjoys his life in USA and keeps pleasing his new masters, he needs to stop poking his nose in pak’s matters unnecessarily. I guess he even did not hear IK’s address properly bcz the points he has made, most of these were included in IK’s address. IK talked about productivity, yield increase, exports etc. I am sure IK will give details of his foreign policy and how to curb extremism also. Give him time, we can only criticise after 3-4 months. But Mr Haqqani’s survival is only based on bashing the military and IK, so his desperation is understandable.
Lol never reas such biasrd and pathetic puece of writing which doest prove anything other tham how beautifully wrotter has tried to put a delusion in the best current leader happened to pakistan.
He has no mercy for corruption, no nro, no fool proof and false and eye wash projects (e.g metro and bloody orange train)
And yes he will be strengthening the institution of pakistan so that after getting that much education journalists don’t get sold so they will be teached ethics hope so coming generations will be better.
Theocracy survives in Typically Uneducated Societies. GOD & GUN, Heady Cocktail wt Military . Difficult to Understand power of Economics,Science Technology, Research.
The article smells of pre conceived negative notions about PM. The shape of media has transformed completely than how it was in previous regimes. the media in its current form cannot be subjugated.
The writer’s efforts to deter the motivation and ideas of the ruling PM of Pakistan is beyond comprehension.
The secret revealed to PM in 48 hours about previous govt self financed monarchy style of livelihood is itself a bigger question. This is how the culprits are being caught. The ex govt has to show a trail of source of expenses that enabled the ex prime minister (nawaz shareef) to have a lifestyle of a rich king.
The author is seeing the trees and not the forest. Sure, sanitation may not be the root problem in Pakistan. But did he honestly expect Imran Khan to discuss complicated policy in a national address primarily intended for ? What about Khan’s emphasis on poverty alleviation, Police reforms, government provided health insurance, strengthening of local government. These are pretty fundamental issues discussed by Khan during his address. Apparently, none of this matters for HH. He might not have heard these things because he was busy jotting down things to criticize, which is what he is paid to do by the neoliberal ‘think-tank’ he works for, and in his self-assigned role as a ‘dissident.’
Sure, successive Pakistani governments (including the PPP, the author’s own party, which his wife is still a member of) enacted terrible policies. However, there was a lot of negligence, inaction and corruption by them too. His political boss (who made him ambassador to the US), Zardari is notorious for his corruption (he is called Mr. 10% in Pakistan). No wonder that HH thinks that corruption is not the biggest problem facing Pakistan. Not addressing national problems through inaction, and allowing problems to fester, is as bad as having bad policies, which is exactly what PPP is famous for. Conveniently, HH ignores his own political party’s record on this. It doesn’t fit his narrative. Their own base is the dirt poor city of Larkana, which is a source of shame for most people in Sindh.
Sure, many Pakistanis think that Pakistan was created by God. Although, HH should not be the one to throw stones, as he is working in an Israel-supporting think tank. Never heard him calling out the folly of calling Israel a land God ordained for the Jews. It is a genuinely apartheid state now.
That’s so typical of a doom and gloom journalist, while in the past, he was not happy that Pak leaders were not addressing country’s low human development indices, now that IK agenda is about that, he is pointing something else. So HH,go in hibernation for 1 year.
If somebody thinks corruption is a low hanging fruit, well he is in some kind of illusion!
Less than 2% pay taxes. Certainly the powerful and mighty don’t. May be Imran Khan can come clean with his tax returns to start with and that of his colleagues.
Yes, education is a big issue and is worth tackling but as pointed out here, it is a provincial subject and he does not have much say in the matter.
What is it that the world is concerned about when it thinks of Pakistan?
Terrorism.
Pakistan, over the last 2 decades, has become the epicenter of terror. Almost all terror attacks around the world seem to have a direct or indirect link to Pakistan. It certainly will be a big issue when PM Khan talks to PM Modi of India. Khan will be told that the perpetrators of Mumbai attacks have not been prosecuted yet and roam free in Pakistan. Not just that, many of these internationally recognized terrorists are now being manistreamed into politics!
Imran Khan has a unique opportunity. A lot is riding on him but he is in an unenviable position. If he can’t deliver, he faces the wrath of his hero worshiping supporters (aka “Youthias”). And chances of his delivering on his promises seem slim.
Hussain Haqqani writing as a statesman is the ultimate tragedy. A proclaimed offender wanted by the Supreme Court of Pakistan, who shamelessly admits delivering service to other countries while enjoying benefits of being Ambassador of Pakistan in United States, gives advice & lectures on Pakistan national interest……May Allah have mercy on this poor country.
Mr Haqqani writes with a bitter tone and the entire slant of his article is negative. There are many things to criticise Imran Khan the candidate just as there will be even more things to criticise on Imran Khan the PM- but focusing on the low hanging fruit- tax collection, reducing corruption and malnutrition, investing in education and human resources and improving their own lot- rather than focus on foreign policy nuances (did discuss peace) was probably the right message to start off on and inspire his 200 million fellow countrymen. The author sits discredited in exile pining to be relevant again. My only request- let Imran make his mistakes, then you can criticise him. Thank you.
Within the existing constraints, PM Imran Khan is Pakistan’s best bet. While retaining its hold over security related issues, the military leadership ought to allow him freedom to deal with issues over which a civilian government has complete freedom, starting with the economy. There is the depletion of the country’s foreign exchange reserves, early indications that the pattern of Chinese investment is burdensome, throwing the eventual success of the CPEC in doubt. He has spoken of 25 million Pakistani children not being in school. Even if it is symbolic – like Mahatma Gandhi picking up a fistful of salt – getting rid of 522 out of 524 domestic servants, shifting to a modest house, fewer limousines, all this sends out a reassuring message that I have not come here to have fun at public expense. PM Imran Khan deserves a honeymoon.
