Putting this up here to show the stark difference between the facilities/ training/ support Neeraj Chopra had and what Arshad Nadeem had and so that moronic Brigadier can shove it… (2 parts to each vid)
Part 2 of Neeraj story
Part 1 of Arshad Nadeem’s story. Just the visuals should be enough
Part 2 of Arshad’s story. And that Brigadier has the temerity to blame social media usage for Arshad not getting gold. 🤦🏾‍♂️

So apparently the closed door meeting yest by the army top brass with journos and others was intended to push for developing a narrative for the world re: Afghanistan. A few thoughts about what apparently transpired at the meeting…
1. Good luck trying to develop a credible narrative while beating down any voices of dissent within Pak media. Credibility is developed over years and years. No one will believe any narrative coming from the kind of toadies the establishment is fond of pushing within Pak. …>
… Incidentally, this is something that has been said again and again. But those in power forget again and again. They suddenly wake up at times of crises and realise that they need precisely the same credible voices they’ve been suppressing all this while. …>

A fictional story: In a mythical land far far away, one senior army officer was assigned the task by his masters to ensure that their favoured group won regional elections. He complied but decided to get some personal benefits as well. He told a billionaire who lived elsewhere…>
…he’d get him made the next chief in the region, as long as he supplied a billion. The deal was struck and as advance payment 100m was paid out to the officer. Ostensibly this was to be used to buy candidates and to aid in the election of supportive candidates. But the smart…>
…officer pocketed the advance and then told other candidates he could get them tickets if they gave him 5-10m. The whole scheme collapsed when some of the potential candidates raised a hue and cry. The army was forced to recall the officer and he now faces an inquiry for …>

Have heard a very shocking story from a very reliable friend. So my friend who recently travelled to Turkey as part of a delegation told me that his travel agent told him before travel that his PCR test had already been done. He said he was flabbergasted. Turns out the travel...>
...agent had got fake negative PCR results from a well known lab to satisfy the paperwork requirement. “You can still get your own if you want,” the agent said, “but for our purposes it’s done.” The agent justified this by arguing that getting the paperwork done for the whole...>
...delegation would have been too cumbersome otherwise. But the story does not end here. On the return trip, he was again informed that the PCR test results were already done. Apparently the Turk agent had a lab in Turkey too providing fake results.
Consider what this implies.

Shaukat Tarin who is coming in as convenor of new Economic Advisory Council says on @GeoASKKS “nobody can tell which direction economy is going.” Strong words from someone coming in to government, which undercut the hifalutin claims of the government itself.
He also says the government has destroyed the economy by its earlier wrong decisions.
Says he feels we need to renegotiate with the IMF because common person is crushed.

According to media reports Imran Khan has rejected putting up Islamabad’s F-9 Park as collateral for the Sukuk bond. Finally, some sense.
Also according to media reports he said it would be better to put up elite clubs like Islamabad Club as collateral instead. Now everyone’s trying to link it to the omelette. 😂
Of course, ARY has taken the quip at face value, lol. arynews.tv/en/cabinet-mor…
