@5Naureen Very pertinent observation indeed. My understanding too has been that he neither supported theocracy nor secularism. His ideal state was somewhere n between the two concepts.

The Chinese Consul General in Karachi hosted a reception to welcome the new Chinese Year. I delivered keynote address on Pakistan-China relations. It was pleasure to meet vice chancellors, dignitaries, Chinese families and friends.

Many of us are dazzled with the protocol extended to Gen Ayub Khan in the US in 1960s. Here is a video footage of Afghanistan’s king and queen’s visit to US in 1963, where they too received similar protocol. The protocol largely depended on how useful a person was to US interests

Hussain Sajwani is a prominent UAE businessman. On President elect Trump’s invitation he announces $20bn investment in US
We couldn’t be prouder to witness our father, @HussainSajwani, announce a $20 billion investment in the U.S. data centers market through @Edgnex_Official with President-elect @realDonaldTrump 💙 This investment reflects our strategic global growth at #DAMAC Group and underscores our commitment to innovation and leadership in the digital economy.

The question is very pertinent. The answer comes from someone with deep insight of the issue. An enlightening discussion
Is Pakistan Stuck in Its Own Chains? Why are our companies so small? Why do we lack big dreams and the courage to take risks? Is it outdated governance, fear of innovation, or just plain complacency? In my conversation with Dr. Nadeem ul Haq, we asked tough questions and explored bold answers. It’s a bit longish, a bit boring, a bit foolish, and a bit of common sense—but for those who have the time and interest, it’s worth a listen. 🎥 Catch the full discussion here If you care about Pakistan’s future, you don’t want to miss this. #Pakistan #Economy #Leadership #BigDreams #Reforms #SIAlytics

I worked with Ms Benazir Bhutto in many capacities: her biographer, head of her think tank, development consultant and her personal associate. I highlighted them in a tv interview (in Sindhi) recently.

In Youth Parliament session on Quaid e Azam, the youth asked interesting questions. One question was whether QA was popular politician like ZA Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto or he was like Asif Ali Zardari. Another question related to his birthplace. I described QA’s personal traits as a young man. Few glimpses of the show

Happy birthday to ZA Bhutto. What he did in five years of his rule in 1970s is still relevant to Pakistan. For instance, 1 foundation of Pakistan’s nuclear program, 2 close ties with China, 3 the Constitution of 1973, 4 Islamic summit conference, 5 Pakistani workers to Middle East to earn remittances, 6 launch of National Identity Card scheme, 7 peace with India and bringing back POWs. So much in such a short time. He was a great leader

It was indeed a pleasure to engage with our youth in a program organised by dear friend Rizwan Jaffar’s Youth Parliament on Quaid-e-Azam.

My mother used to say that death was the ultimate reality of life and when one’s time was up, let the spirit walk away from this world with ease. Her instructions to us were that beyond usual treatment, not to put her on ventilator etc. She passed away peacefully in 2005.
