یہ ہائبرڈ ماڈل عام شہری کو کیسے متاثر کرتا ہے؟

سیاسی نظام کی بحث اکثر طاقت، اداروں اور آئین کے گرد گھومتی ہے۔مگر ایک سوال جو کم پوچھا جاتا ہے وہ یہ ہے: اس سب کا اثر عام شہری پر کیا پڑتا ہے؟ وہ شہری جو مہنگائی سے پریشان ہے،جس کے بچوں کی فیس بڑھ گئی ہے،جس کا بجلی کا بل سمجھ سے باہر ہو چکا ہے،اور جسے یہ بھی واضح نہیں کہ شکایت کس سے کی جائے۔ جب اختیار نظر نہ آئے عام آدمی کے لیے سب سے بڑی مشکل یہ نہیں کہ طاقت کس کے پاس ہے،بلکہ یہ ہے کہ طاقت دکھائی نہیں دیتی۔ حکومت موجود ہے، وزیر … Continue reading یہ ہائبرڈ ماڈل عام شہری کو کیسے متاثر کرتا ہے؟

پاکستان کا ہائبرڈ ماڈل 3.0

جب اختیار نہ مکمل طور پر سول ہو، نہ خالص فوجی پاکستان اس وقت نہ تو مارشل لا کے تحت ہے،اور نہ ہی ایک روایتی پارلیمانی جمہوریت کے طور پر کام کر رہا ہے۔ اس کے بجائے ملک ایک ایسے نئے مرحلے میں داخل ہو چکا ہے جسے پرانے سیاسی خانوں میں فِٹ کرنا مشکل ہے۔ طاقت نے سڑکوں پر آ کر اپنا اظہار نہیں کیا، نہ ہی آئین معطل ہوا۔ اس بار تبدیلی دفاتر، آئینی ترامیم اور ادارہ جاتی ڈھانچے کے ذریعے آئی ہے۔ اسی لیے بعض تجزیہ کار اسے ہائبرڈ ماڈل قرار دے رہے ہیں۔ مگر یہ پچھلے … Continue reading پاکستان کا ہائبرڈ ماڈل 3.0

Pakistan’s Hidden Crisis: Overdue Export Proceeds and the Dollar Drain

There is a strange silence in our economic debate. Everyone talks about debt, deficits, IMF conditions, and the falling rupee. Few people talk about the problem that grows every time a ship leaves Karachi Port. Goods travel out. Dollars are supposed to travel back. Many do not, resulting in overdue export proceeds in Pakistan. The missing money never appears in our banking system. It is a quiet leak, and it hurts Pakistan more than most people realize. Exporters are legally required to bring their earnings home within 120 days. The State Bank monitors every E Form that is opened and … Continue reading Pakistan’s Hidden Crisis: Overdue Export Proceeds and the Dollar Drain

Who Was Right About Partition? Jinnah, Azad, or the British?

Partition debate Jinnah and Azad is not an argument frozen in 1947. It returns every time someone looks at today’s India and Pakistan and wonders how two nations born from the same trauma ended up carrying such different wounds. A recent comment summed it up in one sharp line:India makes Jinnah look right. Pakistan makes Azad look right. And both make the British sound smug.The comparison is uncomfortable because it touches truths we avoid. Jinnah’s Warning in the Partition Debate: A Future Shaped by Majoritarian Power Jinnah believed the subcontinent’s politics would tilt toward a Hindu-majority state. He feared Muslims … Continue reading Who Was Right About Partition? Jinnah, Azad, or the British?

Visa in Hand, Still No Flight: Why FIA Is Offloading Pakistani Passengers

.Karachi. Lahore. Islamabad.Airports where dreams take flight — or crash at the immigration counter. Lately, too many Pakistanis — students, workers, even pilgrims — have found themselves offloaded by FIA immigration officers at major airports. Bags packed. Tickets paid. Visas stamped.

Visa Holders Still Getting Offloaded This isn’t about fake documents … Continue reading Visa in Hand, Still No Flight: Why FIA Is Offloading Pakistani Passengers
