Indeed! Also, @baqirsajjad makes no mention of: 1) That PM Nawaz Sharif was dismissed from office and jailed in a sham case by a Kangaroo Court, the Judiciary acting in consort with the Army to make way for Imran who was then MASSIVELY #Rigged into power by the Army in broad 2/
2/ daylight and on Live TV; 2) He does not say that Project Imran was fathered by 4 COASs and 5 DGs ISI over 20 years; 3) Nor that Imran's sit-in In Islamabad was engineered by the Army which resulted in massive trouble for citizens, and when PTI thugs led by none other than 3/
3/ the present 'President' of Pakistan attacked and ransacked Pakistan Television; 3) Whilst he talks about the 'poor government policies' of the present government he does not tell us that the economy took a nose dive during Imran's time, the Rupee falling from 105.00 to 4/
4/ 270.00 to the $; 4) Nor does he say anything about Imran's fascism and how he went after the PMLN, jailing politicians for months on end in filthy NAB cells; 5) Nor that Imran himself ordered the attacks on Radio Pakistan, Peshawar in which priceless recordings dating back 5/
5/ decades; 6) Indeed about the rioters vandalising an Army memorial to the dead. 6) While he says there isn't an effective opposition in the National Assembly he fails to say that Imran forced his members to resign their NA seats, and also that he forced the Chief Ministers 6/
6/ the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to dissolve the two assemblies...

I admire this man: from being a Class C contractor, sitting under the shisham tree outside the Garrison Engineer's Office in 'Pindi waiting for the GE's PA's orders to go fix so and so General's loo tap/door, carrying the plumber or the carpenter to that location on his 2/
2/ motorcycle and supervising the repairs to becoming Pakistan's richest man by far, boasting 16 Generals and Air Marshals and Admirals in his stable who wait around to pour tea for him and his guests and carry his briefcase and files! AND gifting expensive Harley Davidson 3/
3/ motorcycles to high falutin' 'journalists' and 10 Crore villas each, to them AND their 'journalist' wives...
Dear @ijazkhan@iamthedrifter@Razarumi What a great show on FM @BBhuttoZardari 's visit to Goa. WHY did my friend Ayesha, indeed any of you, not say that Pak-India relations were on a 'healing path' when the gentleman Indian PM VajpayeeJi and his gentleman FM Jaswant Singh 2/
2/ visited Lahore by bus and the vile #Mushy scuttled the coming together of the two countries? That they were also from the BJP, and had the authority of the Hard Right Janata Party? And that the adolescent #Mushy mounted the Kargil misadventure JUST then?! AND that the 3/
3/ Second time @NawazSharifMNS tried to mend fences with India when the HARD RIGHT BJP PM Narendra Modi visited Lahore at NS's invite NS was termed a traitor and thrown out of office by a Conspiracy hatched between #Bajwa/#Faiz/#SaqibNisar which today sees our country in the 4/
This is #Thumbelina aka #Thumbzada aka #GutterRat who took his comatose father, the gentleman Dr. Ghulam Mohyuddin Pirzada's thumbprints on property transfer papers, was caught on CCTV, and arrested in Abu Dhabi in August 2015 until he was sprung by his ISI handlers! Do NOT 2/
2/ waste time on this low-life. P.S. Another anecdote: When Secretary Hillary Clinton visited Pakistan in 2009 and was holding a press conf. this chap stood up and repeated the GHQ line that the Kerry-Lugar bill granting Pakistan $5 Billion was an 'assault on Pakistan's 3/
3/ sovereignty' as did 2 or 3 other ISI-paid journos. (GHQ made all this noise through its assets because the KL Bill laid out clearly that the aide would be stopped if the Army meddled in politics🙃). Hillary Clinton said, 'Alright gentlemen, don't accept it'! That shut them up!
So, the 'State' of Pakistan and its Jihadis had nothing to do with Afghanistan's 'destruction'? Remember the mindless 'Strategic Depth' policy? Not too long ago the brilliant strategist Faiz Hameed was IN Kabul on the VERY day that the Taliban took over intoning ALL will be well!
2/ A telling anecdote: The respected Rustam Shah Mohmand Saib, former Chief Secretary KPK and Interior Secretary and I were in Kabul attending a peace conference arranged by the DPG of Dr. @RadhaKumar_ . A representative of the Northern Alliance came down hard on Pakistan for 3/
3/ meddling in Afghan affairs. During the break I asked him if the Pakhtun Afghans living in areas contiguous to Pakistan were as hostile towards us. 'Kamran, they hate us more than the Northerners, because all our dirty games are played in THEIR backyard'!!
Likewise his daughter, Benazir Bibi Shaheed who read a book a week. She was a speed reader and would read a 3-page note and write copious replies/instructions in 5 mins in her beautiful writing. Miss her every day with tears. Pigs, her assassins, who had her shot in the head 2/
2/ Must mention this: Bibi had flown to Karachi to give birth to Bakhtawar. Just two days after Bakhtawar's birth a file from my office, was one among many other files that were sent to her by the PM's Secretariat in Islamabad. That file landed on my desk just two days 3/
3/ later. THAT was Benazir, the truly 'Benazir'! God, how I miss her!! Must add this too. Nasim Zehra and I were recording a TV Show 'Here comes the PM' in Karachi when the horrible news of her assassination by the pigs came. The Show was suspended and she and I were at 4/
@MaryamShKhan Here is my story about Ahmad Raza Kasuri. I was in FC College in 1971 and was part of the debating team. This chap was a longtime🤦♂️ student (i.e., used to fail every other year) at GC, so was considerably older than us 15/16-year olds. We were told by my older 2/
2/ cousin and mentor that when Kasuri (Also known as the 'Duke of Kasur', an honorific he lapped up like the fool he was) entered the Debating Hall, at least five of us should offer him cigarettes. The 'Duke' dressed in a three-piece suit, would look at each packet and then 3/
3/ select a cigarette with us laughing away inside. Then five matches/lighters would be offered him and he would choose one and light up! Absolute idiot of the First Water! Many years later I was OSD to the Chief Minister, Punjab, Nawab Sadiq Hussain Qureshi and accompanied 4/
