Not on corruption charges. That's a 'privilege' for thieves.

You are right there, but I have often pondered about this and I have come to the conclusion that the best politicians are the cunning ones, that evade OR play politics, example:
Churchill, Washington,Mr. Jinnah.

World politics is about action , my favourite leader has always been Nelson Mandela but SA is going nowhere after him, directionless and prone to hate.

My fav Indian leader is Sardar Patel he did go to Jail but he quickly knew when to become decisive.

Is it fair to blame Mandela? Or, for that matter, Jinnah in 2024 for the current challenges Pakistan is facing?

It’s not but they set up examples of Sacrificing and greatness instead it should be of cunningness and smartness for people to follow.

World affairs is brutal and in all honesty Pakistani Politicians or Army did well up until 1971, it’s later they lost the way.

Until 1971, the Pakistani army was supported and positioned as an anti-communist force in the region, which contributed to its success at the time.

In the 1980s, Pakistan also experienced progress under General Zia, though his policies led to the radicalization of the masses. Similarly, while India is currently thriving, its own process of radicalization may not immediately harm the economy. However, the resulting moral decline within the Indian population could eventually be exploited, much like it was in Pakistan.

That said, there is a key difference: the vast majority of Pakistanis would still be unlikely to elect a religious extremist as their Prime Minister.

Imran Khan is demonstrating both intelligence and shrewdness by refusing to yield even an inch to the Pakistani establishment.

There is a reason for that, Pakistan is majority Muslim, there is no demographic change possible, in India it’s very much possible so, if India was also above 95% one religion there wouldn’t be an issue on that front.

For Pakistan the challenge is to have less religious Muslim as a PM, like Mr.Jinnah

The difference between Zia and Modi is simple, there is massive improvement on science push for women and men under Modi…Zia can’t be equated with Modi , but more along maybe 0.5 Yogi.

Questionable.

Pakistan had some of the most fertile land in the world, great scenic areas for tourism and great deal of money from US by playing up the USSR bogey (started with Jinnah). Thats not doing well. Doing well is getting destroyed in WWII and building yourself up like Germany and Japan

PM Shehbaz attends Bangladesh’s 50th UN membership anniversary

NEW YORK: Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif attended a ceremony celebrating Bangladesh’s 50 years of United Nations membership at the invitation of Chief Advisor Dr Muhammad Yunus.

Accompanying the Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif were federal ministers Khawaja Asif, Atta Tarar, Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, and Special Assistant Tariq Fatemi. Dr Muhammad Yunus warmly welcomed Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the Pakistani delegation.

Both Pakistan and Bangladesh, during the event, agreed to enhance cooperation in various sectors and discussed expanding bilateral relations.

It is pertinent to mention here that Bangladesh officially joined the United Nations on September 17, 1974, becoming the 136th member state. This milestone came after the country gained independence in 1971, following a brutal liberation war.

The relatively young South Asian country, Bangladesh, has made remarkable progress in various sectors, since joining the UN, including human development, economic growth, and social reforms while being a strong advocate for global issues such as climate change, poverty alleviation, and women’s empowerment.

Bangladesh’s commitment to multilateralism is evident through its active engagement in UN forums and its election to the UN Security Council for terms in 1978-1980 and 2000-2002.

Meanwhile, in a conversation with journalists at the United Nations, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed concern over the situation in the Middle East. He said the recent attack in Beirut, describing it as an attempt to escalate the conflict.

While warning the international community, the prime minister said that attacks on Lebanon could have devastating consequences for the peace-loving world. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif emphasized the need for global condemnation of Israeli actions, stating that these attacks are pushing the conflict beyond the Middle East and could have severe repercussions worldwide.

When asked about resolving the crisis, Shehbaz Sharif said that a two-state solution for Palestine is the only viable path. He called for an immediate ceasefire followed by the implementation of a two-state solution as the only way forward.

Not sure if America helped but Bangladeshi people wanted Hasina gone. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Hopefully BD will have Dr. Yunus or someone equally competent as the next PM. I would even be okay with BNP. Just no more Awami League rubbish.

People dont realize how battered Japan and Germany were after WW2. And they way they built back - jeez nothing short of amazing. One visit to Germany or Japan can show people. And in Germany you can see both the pre WW2 historical buildings culture and the present modern contemporary cosmopolitan country. I love visiting Germany anytime. And Japan - they are so efficient and dont waste an inch of space ! Going from Texas where everything is so big and then to Japan where everything is so efficient was just such a different vibe. Just 2 cool nations though !(y)

Land corridor is needed for sure.


there are rumours that Gandhiji was willing to ensure that there was a land corridor between the two sides of Pakistan.

I hope India fulfils his legacy.

Free movements between our nations.
Lots of trust needs to be built before that.

Will that happen in our lifetime. Let’s see.

Honestly do our people deserve good things?
