I mean forget about the bloody stent! I had mine placed 20 years ago and by the Grace of the Almighty Lord haven't looked back! An anecdote: So, got admitted to the AFIC with Maj. Gen. Noori as my cardiologist. The stent was duly placed and as I was happily coming to in the 2/
2/ Recovery Room a Havildar of the AMC came and whispered in my ear, 'Sir Aik saw athaees (128)!' As he went away my cousin Nina Apa came to me and asked me in her gentle way, 'Mike, how are you'. 'Fine Ninpa', I said. See how good the Army is; its all done in 128 Rupees'.Fool!3/
3/ The amount was 128,000.00 Rupees!!!! As I found out there were no doctors fees or stoppages (admission for a few days and food etc., with some of the best nurses in the World! Up AFNS - may you do even better!). The cost was just for the imported stent! God bless the AFIC! 4/
4/ And General Noorani who now runs a State of the Art Cardiac Centre in Rabwah. Second to none. May he Live Long and Prosper!

Of course not! He is a paid ISI Troll who even runs a run-down ThinkTANK in his fancy Office cum Residence in Islamabad and invites #DeepState-friendly experts from abroad. I was invited just once by Sheroo in @P_Musharraf 's time when Swat was up in flames and this foreign 2/

@OfficialDGISPR My Dear General Iftikhar: Kindly pass this message on to the COAS: My Dear General Bajwa, Pakistan is today in dire straits because of the unlawful dismissal of the elected government of the PMLN and the consequent #Rigging of Election 2018 in broad daylight On 2/

Well, Major, I should have thought that brilliances like yourself, and our Rommels and Guderians, whould have foreseen the collapse which will have the very worst effects on our struggling and coming apart at the seems country. You were warned repeatedly as @realZalmayMK was 2/

It is shocking to see that seasoned journalists and academics give no marks to the cruelty of our Institutions such as NAB which can throw innocent people into jail cells and throw away the keys. For God's sake Ladies, have a heart. Show me ONE 'democratic' country that would 2/

@Razarumi Just saw you interviewing Ejaz Haider Re: the present 'Selected' @ImranKhanPTI/Bajwa/Faiz #SHITSHOW. So, when it came to a huge crowd in Faisalabad, the Heart of Punjab, demanding the resignation of Faiz, the last of 'Selected's' #DGISI nannies, the byword is 'Course 2/

Mariana I am going to attempt to suggest to the new ISI Chief (if there IS to be a new one, that is 🤣) some steps he could take to civilise the ISI. Want to join me? C.c. @nayadaurpk @Razarumi @murtazasolangi E.g. If you must beat some one up, use a retired police Moharrir 2/
