میں ان لوگوں کی خاطر حقائق بیان کرنا چاہتا ہوں جو غلطی سے سمجھ رہے ہیں کہ PTI قرضے اتار رہی ہے یا حکومتی اخراجات کم کر رہی ہے یا بجٹ کا خسارہ کم کر رہی ہے۔ یہ ان میں سے کچھ نہیں کر رہی بلکہ یہ اس کا الٹ کر رہی ہے
یہ 2700 بلین کا خسارہ کرے گی۔ نہ صرف عمران خان اور اسد عمر کو یہ اعزاز حاصل ہے کہ پاکستان کی تاریخ کا سب سے بڑا خسارہ پیدا کیا بلکہ %7.2 آف GDP کا خسارہ (N)PML کے دور کے کسی بھی خسارے سے زیادہ ہے۔ ملک کی تاریخ میں اس شرح کے خسارے کی مثال بہت کم پائ جاتی ہے۔ پانچ سالوں میں (N)PML
نے 11،000 بلین قرضے میں اضافہ کیا جس سے مجموعی طور پہ قرضہ 14،000 بلین سے 24،592 بلین پر پہنچا۔ (PTI نے اب ان حقائق کو سینیٹ میں تسلیم کر لیا ہے جبکہ میں پچھلے سال سے یہی کہ رہا ہوں) ان پیسوں سے (N)PML نے بجلی کا نظام، سڑکوں کی تعمیر وغیرہ کی۔ لیکن PTI اس ایک سال میں 5،000 بلین

I want to set the record straight for all those who mistakenly believe that PTI is paying back any loans, or has reduced any government expenditure, or reducing the budget deficit. It is doing none of that. In fact it is doing the opposite.
PTI will run a deficit of Rs 2700 b. Not only do IK and AU have the dubious distinction of running the highest ever absolute deficit in Pak’s history, but at 7.2% of GDP it is higher than any deficit ever run by PMLN. In fact 7.2% is one of the highest deficits in Pak’s history.
In 5 yrs PMLN added Rs 11,000 b to total debt, as the debt increased from Rs 14000 to Rs 24592b. (PTI has now admitted these facts in the Senate. I have been saying it since last year). With this PMLN built power, roads, etc. But in this one year PTI will add Rs 5000b to the debt

1) Folks let’s review some circular debt numbers: On June 1, 2013, the circular debt (CD) was Rs 505 b plus there was PHPL (Power Holding co) debt to banks of Rs 340 b. Add these together, as PTI wants, then the total CD was Rs 885 b. So PMLN inherited Rs 885 as CD
2) At the time the average production was 12000 MWs. In 5 years we added 10,000 MWs to the grid, and left with average production of 20,000 MWs. In May 2018, Circular debt was Rs 423 b plus PHPL debt of Rs 603 b. Total CD 1026 b. Daily increase in CD in 5 years was Rs 77 mil
3) Today circular debt is Rs 603b plus Rs 806b (PHPL) for a total CD of Rs 1409 b. In 10 months since we left the addition to debt is Rs 383 b. So govt has been adding Rs 1277 million daily to CD. Let’s repeat: PMLN added to circular debt Rs 77m daily. PTI added Rs 1277 m daily.

میاں نوازشریف کی سربراہی میں جب پی ایم ایل نے2013میں حکومت سنبھالی توملک کے3میجرکرائسس تھے۔لوڈشیڈنگ،معیشت،دہشتگردی۔ان تینوں کرائسس پر میاں نوازشریف نے ہنگامی بنیادوں پر حلف اُٹھانے سے پہلے ہی اپنی ٹیم کےساتھ ملکرکام شروع کردیا۔
لیکن آج صرف لوڈشیڈنگ کےبڑےکرائسس پر بات کرونگا۔
کہ یہ کرائسس میاں نوازشریف کی سربراہی میں،دن رات کی انتھک محنت سے کیسے حل ہوااورپاکستانی عوام کو اس بڑے مسئلے سے الّٰلہ کے فضل وکرم سے کیسے نجات دلائی گئی۔جب میاں نوازشریف نے 2013میں حکومت سنبھالی۔تواس وقت سسٹم میں22812 میگاواٹ بجلی موجودتھی جوپاکستانی عوام کے لیۓ ناکافی تھی۔
پی ایم ایل این کی حکومت آنے سے پہلے تک 12گھنٹوں میں سے صرف ایک سےدوگھنٹے بجلی آتی تھی۔عوام بہت سخت پریشان تھے کیونکہ ملک میں بجلی ناپیدہوچکی تھی۔لیکن میاں نوازشریف نے حکومت سنبھالتے ہی اس مسئلے کوہنگامی بنیادوں پرحل کیایہاں @CMShehbaz صاحب کانام نہ لیاجاۓ توبہت بڑی زیادتی ہوگی۔

This is HUGE:

Fossil-fuel investments are running at terminal-decline levels, and the volume of #coal generator approvals has fallen below plant retirements, possibly for the first time since the 19th century: (thread)

Energy-watchers should check the latest @IEA World Energy Investment report released this week. webstore.iea.org/download/direc…

It contains some fascinating data suggesting that the energy transition is happening much faster than we think. (HT @TimBuckleyIEEFA for pointing this out)
@IEA @TimBuckleyIEEFA As is often highlighted by critics of energy transition, global coal generation was never higher than it was in 2018.

That covers up substantial differences though. In the past decade it fell nearly 40% in the U.S. and nearly 25% in Europe, but rose 60% in Asia:

Globally significant financial institutions are exiting the thermal #coal sector. To-date, over 100 firms have restricted coal finance, ceased thermal coal insurance and/or divested coal and coal-fired power plants globally from their portfolios. ieefa.org/ieefa-report-e…
Capital is fleeing the rising stranded asset risk of thermal coal as more and more globally significant financial institutions move to a policy framework more aligned with the Paris Climate Agreement. The growing global focus on TCFD means this will accelerate. @ieefa_institute
Since the start of 2018, 34 globally significant financial institutions have announced new coal divestment/restriction polices. In 2019 to-date, VIG of Austria, Varma of Finland, Nedbank of South Africa, Barclays Bank UK & Export Development Canada have all announced.

President Trump upended decades of U.S. policy that started with Richard Nixon when he declared that the goal of the U.S. was no longer “energy independence” but rather “American energy dominance.” This wasn’t Trumpian hyperbole. latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/…
/2 Few policies have been pursued by the administration with more cohesiveness, zeal, and success — or with more potential to yield great and lasting harm. Trump has unleashed a massive, untethered expansion of oil, natural gas and coal production.
/3 Trump's "American Energy Dominance" policy seeks to make the U.S. the world’s foremost fossil fuel powerhouse. Its origins are in the radical writings of 2 Trump campaign advisers who call fossil fuels "The Master Resource,"as I wrote in @RollingStone rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

#Köthen: Der Verstorbene hat einen Schlag ins Gesicht (an der Lippe feststellbar) bekommen, ging danach zu Boden und verstarb an einem #Herzinfarkt. Rechtsmedizin hat keinen Hinweis auf Tritte, sonstige Schläge, Messerstiche.

PK zur Tathergang auf @ntvde jetzt.
Im Netz verbreitete Audio-Datei mit angeblichem "Totschlagen" von der Zeugin selbst gegenüber Polizei weitgehend relativiert.

Nicht, dass das für die Hetzer, Neonazis oder #AfD eine Rolle spielen würde.

#Köthen
Schwere Herzkrankheit des Verstorbenen seit Geburt, mehrere Herzoperationen danach, versagensbereites Herz durch das es jederzeit zu einem Herzinfarkt kommen konnte.

Ob jemand strafrechtlich verantwortlich ist für den Herzinfarkt, ist im Ermittlungsverfahren.
