By’Mid-September’ Nawaz Sharif Is Expected To Return To Pakistan

By’Mid-September’ Nawaz Sharif Is Expected To Return To Pakistan

August 15, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News


According to Tuesday’s report from Geo News, Nawaz Sharif, the leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), plans to return to Pakistan by the middle of September.

Nawaz will depart for Pakistan from London “after a month,” according to a Sharif family insider who spoke on the condition of anonymity. In the middle of September, the former prime minister will likely return to Pakistan.

  • According to a family source, Nawaz would go for Pakistan “after a month.”
  • Within a week, Shehbaz Sharif anticipated travelling to London.
  • Sources claim that PML-N is preparing a grand welcome for Nawaz.

The PML-N leader’s trip to Europe and the Middle East, which began two months ago and concluded last week when Nawaz arrived in London, had been recommended by the Sharif family’s legal and political advisers to terminate immediately and return to Pakistan. Nawaz has been persuaded by certain PML-N members, nevertheless, to arrive in mid-September.

“Nawaz Sharif’s decision to return to Pakistan after ending nearly four years of exile is final and everything is in order,” the person who has been involved in the negotiations and preparations stated.

Shehbaz Sharif, a former prime minister, and Maryam, the senior vice president of the PML-N, have been in touch with Nawaz often over the ups and downs of his return to Pakistan.

The insider claimed that Shehbaz, the former PM of Pakistan who has since resigned, will arrive in London in less than a week to see Nawaz.

Rana Sanaullah, Khawaja Asif, Javed Latif, Saad Rafique, Parvez Rasheed, Irfan Siddiqui, and many more prominent PML-N members are scheduled to travel to London over the next three weeks to discuss and organize for Sharif’s homecoming.

According to the source, Nawaz would receive a grand welcome from the PML-N after arriving in the UK in November 2019 for medical treatment and deciding to remain after the allotted court term has passed.

The PML-N aims to mobilize tens of thousands of supporters when the party supremo lands in Lahore, according to Hina Pervez Butt, the party’s top social media campaigner and a former provincial lawmaker who is currently living in London and has met Nawaz.

The source claimed that Nawaz’s cases are unaffected by the recent Supreme Court ruling on the Supreme Court (Review of Judgements and Orders) Act 2023.

As soon as the former prime minister lands in Pakistan, the Sharif family’s attorneys will begin a thorough legal defense of Nawaz in all relevant matters.

Shahbaz revealed to Geo News last week that his older brother will visit Pakistan in September. “The decision of the Supreme Court has no bearing on Nawaz Sharif’s return,”

Nawaz Sharif has finished the five-year period of disqualification, he added.

Additionally, Shehbaz stated that the maximum time for disqualification is five years under the current statute. This ruling will not prevent Nawaz Sharif from running again. Next month, Nawaz Sharif will return to Pakistan, where he will stand trial and oversee the election campaign.

On November 19, 2019, Nawaz arrived in London before becoming seriously unwell inside a jail. The family said that Imran Khan’s administration and those who support him attempted to poison Nawaz, which caused him to suffer. He had four months of care at the Harley Street Clinic and London Bridge Hospital.

The three-time prime minister was identified as having an immune system illness, and experts in Pakistan advised him to seek treatment outside of the nation since his health was not improving despite receiving the finest care available there.

Pakistan Railway Accident

Six Railway Employees Have Been Fired In Relation With The Tragic Hazara Express

Six Railway Employees Have Been Fired In Relation With The Tragic Hazara Express

August 8, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News


Six employees of Pakistan Railways, including two 18-grade officers, were placed on administrative leave on Tuesday as a result of the Hazara Express disaster in Nawabshah last week, which resulted in at least 30 fatalities and several injuries.

In Sindh’s Sanghar district, ten bogies of the Havelian-bound Hazara Express derailed on Sunday, with Pakistan Railways (PR) authorities attributing the derailment on a broken railway line and a hot axle that prevented movement.

Saad Rafique, the minister of railways, had cautioned that it was impossible to completely rule out the potential of sabotage or a technical issue. He also deemed the railway track to be in good condition.

A six-person team was later assembled to investigate the incident.

In a notification released today, the Ministry of Railways stated that six officers had been suspended in connection with the disaster in accordance with Rule-5 of the Civil Servants (Efficiency and Discipline) Rules, 2020, with “immediate effect” and until further instructions.

A divisional executive engineer from Sukkur, a manager of a diesel workshop in Karachi, an assistant executive engineer from Nawabshah, a permanent way officer from Shahdadpur, a power controller for Kotri, and a keyman were among the aforementioned authorities.

The suspension comes a day after a government investigation into the collision found that the Hazara Express’s derailment was caused by a lack of fishplates and a broken track.

According to the study, “[the] accident occurred] due to fresh rail broken and fishplates missing,” after thoroughly investigating all the factors.

The panel also determined that the locomotive’s sliding was a contributing factor in the disaster.

The railway engine had already departed the area without being checked by superiors. Beyond the accident location, “little hitting spots” were discovered on the wooden terminal and iron fishplates. Therefore, it stated, “the engineering branch and mechanical branch are held accountable for this accident.”

According to the paper, sabotage cannot be discounted because the derailed carriages were pulled 750 feet.
“A thorough investigation in this regard is underway,” he insisted. “The Federal Government Inspector of Railways (a grade 22 officer) is on-site to determine the cause of this tragedy.”

Meanwhile, Khawaja Saad Rafique, the minister of railways, has denied reports that wooden pieces were used to fasten the train’s bogies.

The minister emphasized two elements in his speech to the National Assembly today that led to the tragedy and the deaths it caused.

“First, lubricants were used to unclog the two locomotive wheels that were stuck behind the engine. As a safety measure, these locomotives ought to have been completely removed, the minister stated.

He stressed that a section of the railway track between Rohri and Kotri had become problematic because of its deteriorating state, and he proposed that an investment of between Rs10 billion and Rs12 billion could be able to fix the problem. He advised the next administration to think about allocating the funding to stop similar collapses from happening again.

The minister also stated that each deceased person’s heirs will get Rs1.5 million in compensation from the government, although she emphasized that this was not a sufficient remedy.

Rafique also emphasized the need of making investments in the railway industry to ensure its smooth functioning.

IMF Agreement Is Not A “Magic Cure,” Claims Shehbaz

IMF Agreement Is Not A “Magic Cure,” Claims Shehbaz

July 2, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News


Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stated that the current arrangement is not a panacea and that he hopes it would “be the last one” shortly after the government received a much-needed $3 billion short-term financing package from the IMF.

A Friday IMF accord was set to expire only hours before the new nine-month standby agreement was announced. Now, the IMF’s board must approve the staff-level agreement with Pakistan later this month.

Although the accord provided a “much-needed breather,” Prime Minister Sharif stated he hoped this new program would be “the last one.”

  • Hours before the last package’s expiration, a nine-month standby agreement is announced;
  • The IMF board must approve a $3 billion package later this month.
  • Despite his insistence that loans do not build nations, the PM calls the current agreement a “much-needed breather.”

“This is not a time for arrogance, but rather for reflection on reality. Do countries manage without loans? Let’s pray that this is the last time we obtain a loan from the IMF and that we won’t need to do so in the future, he said to the media in Lahore on Friday after the agreement was reached.

The conversations he had last week in Paris with IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva were characterized by him as a “turning point” in a string of recent negotiations with the international organization.

As it struggles to pay off debilitating external debt, the economy is experiencing a balance of payments crisis, and months of political unrest have discouraged foreign investment.

The country is struggling to afford imports as a result of skyrocketing inflation, the rupee’s record low against the dollar, and a country-wide decrease in industrial production.

“I am pleased to announce that the IMF team has reached a staff-level agreement with the Pakistani authorities on a nine-month standby arrangement in the amount of SDR 2,250 million (about $3bn),” IMF mission leader Nathan Porter said in a statement late Thursday.

According to Mr. Porter, the agreement will be evaluated by the IMF executive board by mid-July.

Since last November, the administration has been trying to satisfy the terms of the bailout arrangement by making hurried modifications to the national budget. According to Mr. Porter, it ended on Friday, and the new pact builds on the IMF’s initiatives under the earlier accord.

A $1.1 billion advance payment would be made under the revised agreement, according to Finance Minister Ishaq Dar, immediately after the IMF board meeting this month.

The agreement will also make other finance available on a bilateral and international basis. Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and China, longtime friends, have already committed or extended billions in credit. The IMF stated that this “will support near-term policy efforts and replenish gross reserves.”

According to Tradeweb statistics reported by Reuters, Pakistan’s sovereign dollar bonds were trading higher after the announcement, with the 2024 issue seeing the greatest gains, up more than 8 cents at little above 70 cents in the dollar.

Shorter-dated bonds had the biggest increases, showing ongoing doubts about the nation’s longer-term budgetary picture.

Later, on Friday night, PM Shehbaz tweeted that the new IMF agreement was a “much-needed breather” that will aid the nation in achieving economic stability. He stressed, nevertheless, that “loans are not used to build states. I ask God that this new program will be the last.

Miftah Ismail, a former finance minister, wrote in a tweet, “We must acknowledge that this IMF accord affords us yet another opportunity to make significant reforms. The people of Pakistan will continue to suffer for the structural and governance failings of their governments if we don’t implement these changes, leaving Pakistan at the mercy of multilateral lenders.

Pakistan’s poor progress in fulfilling the conditions set forth by the IMF for an agreement has drawn criticism from Michael Kugelman, head of the South Asia Institute at the Wilson Centre.

He stated that Islamabad has postponed politically hazardous fiscal policy actions that the IMF had been hoping to see for months.

Sindh Will Start Its Coastal Evacuations Today Because Of Cyclone Biparjoy

Sindh Will Start Its Coastal Evacuations Today Because Of Cyclone Biparjoy

June 12, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News


The government has made the decision to evacuate the residential areas and other human settlements close to Sindh’s shore as the risk of tropical storm Biparjoy, which is currently existing in the Arabian Sea, increases.

All relevant agencies have been placed on high alert to deal with the storm’s effects as Biparjoy continues to intensify after developing into an Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm (ESCS). The storm is expected to strike Sindh’s coastal districts on June 15 (Thursday).

  • The location of Cyclone Biparjoy is 660 km south of Karachi.
  • Authorities talk about storm-related preventative actions.
  • Directives have been made in response to the Biparjoy danger to avert deaths.

It is very likely to move nearly northward until the morning of June 14 before shifting to the north-northeast and crossing the Saurashtra and Kutch and adjacent Pakistani coasts by noon on June 15 as a very severe cyclonic storm with maximum sustained wind speeds of 125–135 kph gusting to 150 kph.

A decision to evacuate neighborhoods was made on Sunday at a meeting presided over by Karachi Commissioner Iqbal Memon while keeping the risk in mind.

Sardar Sarfaraz, the chief meteorologist for Sindh, as well as representatives from the Pakistan Navy, the Met Department, the Health Department, and all other local and municipal organizations were there.

The meeting’s attendees talked about taking preventive action against the cyclone.

At a post-budget news conference on Sunday, Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah announced that 10,000 people will be relocated as part of the plan.

The conference instructed the deputy commissioners for Keamari, Malir, South, and Korangi to make sure that everyone living in the aforementioned regions had been evacuated by the deadline and sent to safe locations or relief camps created to help evacuees.

At a post-budget news conference on Sunday, Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah announced that 10,000 people will be relocated as part of the plan.

The locations under threat will also be cleared of any cranes and other construction equipment that may have been erected there.

While staying in the relief camps, the evacuees will have access to all amenities.

At a post-budget news conference on Sunday, Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah announced that 10,000 people will be relocated as part of the plan.

The commissioner informed all city agencies to prepare for Cyclone Biparjoy’s impending danger at the meeting. He gave the order for all pertinent organizations to finish making plans for the cyclone’s aftermath.

All major metropolitan hospitals had been instructed to be on high alert, and control rooms had also been set up.

Additionally, a control room has been established by the Mirpurkhas commissioner’s office to keep track of the cyclone situation.

By the afternoon of June 15, Cyclone Biparjoy is forecast to make landfall as a Very Severe Cyclonic Storm (VSCS) in the coastal belt of southeast Sindh between the Indian Gujarat and Pakistani Rann of Kutch coastlines, according to authorities on Sunday night.

According to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), the storm might bring about strong gusts, heavy rainfall, and flooding in the province’s coastal regions.

The NDMA instructed the relevant authorities to launch a local language awareness campaign to warn inhabitants of coastal regions about the weather and discourage them from going to the shorelines.

Boating on the open sea should be avoided by fishermen. In an emergency, heed their instructions and work with them, it continued.

After a brief visit to PIC for heart testing, the former chief minister of Punjab moved back to jail.

Elahi complained of chest problems and was sent to the Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) for diagnostic procedures and a doctor’s assessment. We are awaiting the electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiography results for him.

He has reportedly been sent back to prison, according to reports.

A court magistrate in Lahore sentenced the former chief minister to prison on June 4 for a 14-day judicial remand following his arrest by the Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) in a case involving bribery and unlawful recruitments. The court had turned down the plea for physical remand made by ACE.

Following the dismissal of the accusations against him by two different courts on Saturday, this was his third arrest in two days.

Elahi is one of the PTI leadership’s surviving members who continues to support the group. The majority of prominent party figures, including Fawad Chaudhry, Shireen Rehman, Usman Buzdar, and Maleeka Bokhari, have announced their resignations, with others saying they will never return to politics.

The COO said that on an urgent basis, rapid arrivals and departures could be made to isolated places around the nation via the air taxi service. He stated that there were around 29 airstrips spread across the nation for ticketing and landing reasons, with almost eight of them being completely operational.

He said that both a foreign and a Pakistani corporation were contacted when creating the program. He remarked, “It is highly delightful that the results of the Pakistani company’s developed application are outstanding,” and he said that the program will be employed for the service.

Asim Nawaz, the CEO of Sky Wings, asserted that they were also receiving inquiries from foreign firms interested in investing in the company.

Along with the nine public and private airports in the nation, the service would also be offered from Rahim Yar Khan and Balochistan, he continued.

The service would be progressively extended countrywide, according to CEO Nawaz.

The CEO asserted that the Sky Wings Electric Air Vehicles (EAVs), which are a part of the aviation fleet, have a top speed of 300 kph and a maximum flight height of 14,000 feet.

Budget Pakistan 2023-24
Pakistan News

What Actually New Budget 2023-24 Is For ???

What Actually New Budget 2023-24 Is For ???

June 10, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News


The budget for fiscal year 2023–24, like the majority of recent budgets, places a significant emphasis on borrowing money to finance expenditures, despite the fact that a sizable portion (more than 50%) of current expenses go towards debt payment.

Despite a narrative that indicates otherwise, the process taken to create this year’s budget wasn’t particularly novel, but some of the actions were.

The government has significantly raised the amount of money that may be sent from outside Pakistan without any questions being asked about the source, which is one of them.

A “bar on asking nature and source of unexplained income/assets” is proposed to be placed on this ceiling, which would be raised from Rs5 million to $100,000 (approximately Rs30 million). This action is most likely an effort to increase the nation’s diminishing foreign exchange reserves, which are now less than $4 billion and barely cover a month’s worth of imports.

In an effort to stop the flow of dollars out of the nation, the administration has also suggested raising the withholding tax rate on payments made to “non-residents through debit/credit or prepaid cards” from 1 to 5 percent. If this proposal were to be ultimately accepted, all foreign online purchases (including those from Netflix and Amazon) would become more expensive.

Another new initiative put up by the finance minister aims to make it easier for small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) to receive bank loans.

Ishaq Dar brought up a central bank program that allows SMEs to refinance their debts at a 6 percent markup during his address. But he emphasized that banks are reluctant to lend to SMEs since they frequently lack a credit history.

The finance minister stated that this will be fixed by the government taking up 20% of the risk for loans made to SMEs under this program.

The budget for this year also included incentives for IT experts and services, giving Pakistani freelancers who provide IT services to overseas businesses the status of a cottage industry. Therefore, independent exporters won’t need to submit a sales tax report.

Additionally, “old and used vehicles of Asian makes above 1300cc” imports are no longer subject to set duty and tax ceilings.

This implies that reconditioned 1300cc automobiles from China and Japan, which have a considerable market in Pakistan, would probably cost more. Smaller vehicles like the Mira and Alto would not be impacted by this change.

This implies that reconditioned 1300cc automobiles from China and Japan, which have a considerable market in Pakistan, would probably cost more. Smaller vehicles like the Mira and Alto would not be impacted by this change.

The budget offered, among other important sales tax or customs duty exemptions:

Customs tariffs on nappy and sanitary product raw components are exempt.
Customs charges on prawns, prawns and juveniles imported for breeding in industrial fish farms and hatcheries are exempt.

The prohibition on buying second-hand clothes has been lifted. The exemption of contraceptives and their accessories from sales tax.

For nonresident individuals who possess a National Identify Card for Overseas Pakistanis/Pakistan Origin Card and purchase real estate using foreign remittances sent from overseas, there is a 2 percent final withholding tax exemption.

For a builder, a 10% tax liability reduction or Rs. 5 million, whichever is less, and for a person, a 10% tax liability reduction or Rs. 1 million, whichever is less, for three years of self-construction of a home.

In contrast, there were several actions that may affect the average person’s finances:

The elimination of the sales tax exemption for foods sold in large quantities under brand names or trademarks.

An increase in the lower rate of sales tax on supplies produced by point-of-sale shops selling leather and textile items from 12 percent to 15 percent.

The suggested tax rate for electric power transmission services is 15%.

0.6 percent advance adjustable withholding tax will once again be applied to cash withdrawals made by inactive taxpayers.

An increase in the rate of withholding tax on payments made to non-residents using debit, credit, or prepaid cards from 1 percent to 5 percent. (Taxpayers who are not active pay two to ten percent).

It is suggested to impose a federal excise levy of Rs 2,000 per energy-inefficient fan and Rs 20 per cent of the value on incandescent bulbs.

Dar Again Eliminates The Option Of A Default

Dar Again Eliminates The Option Of A Default

June 3, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News


Reforms are promised by the finance minister for “long-term improvement” of the nation.

Ishaq Dar, Pakistan’s finance minister, again ruled out the idea of a default on Saturday and pledged that changes are being prepared for the “long-term improvement” of the nation.

The finance czar promised to work with other government officials to help the nation overcome its present economic difficulties while speaking to a delegation from the Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Islamabad.

Dar said that the Ministry of Finance will start a revolution in agriculture and create a sovereign wealth fund. He added that he is committed to take actions that have previously been disregarded and that the IT industry would also be a priority of his.

The group was also told by the finance minister that there is “no technical justification” for the IMF program’s postponement, which is unprecedented.

He insisted that Pakistan was an independent nation with trillions of dollars’ worth of assets.

Dar said that the nation has over $100 billion in foreign liabilities, but just one asset, its gas infrastructure, is valued between $40 and $45 billion.

The business sector was also urged by the finance minister to make fair expectations for the 2019 budget, and the administration promised to work with them.

Dar’s remarks came a day after a cabinet member said that Pakistan’s request to lessen the need of arranging $6 billion in new loans had been denied by the global lender, leaving the government with little choice except to attempt to resurrect the arrangement.

Minister of State for Finance Dr. Aisha Pasha stressed that Pakistan’s only choice was to return to the IMF in a policy statement delivered at the National Assembly Standing Committee on Finance.

Dr. Pasha claims that Pakistan asked the IMF to take into consideration lowering the $6 billion external funding demand based on fresh data on the current account deficit, but the Fund declined. The other $3 billion was to be arranged after the staff-level agreement, she said, but the IMF insisted on “demonstrating the $6 billion.” She went on to say that there was an understanding to arrange $3 billion before the agreement.

The statement from the ministry of finance shows that the IMF has not altered its position despite a call from Prime ministry Shehbaz Sharif to IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva.

The IMF has already paid out $3.9 billion of the overall $6.5 billion rescue package during the previous four years, with the remaining amount depending upon the conclusion of three outstanding assessments.

Imran Khan On His Next Court Appearance”80% Chances That I Will Be Arrested”

There are 80% possibilities that I would be arrested when I go in court in Islamabad on Tuesday for a number of bails, the former prime minister stated in an interview with international media, according to ARY News.

The PTI leader mentioned his party’s purge, saying that over 10,000 employees, including top leadership and women, had been detained.

According to Dawn, the Chief of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) informed the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Saturday that he may join the investigation into the Al Qadir Trust Case the following week. Khan stated that he can show up on Tuesday at 11 AM for the case’s inquiry.

In his answer to the anti-graft watchdog’s call-up notice, Imran pleaded with the NAB to confirm the previously indicated time for him to join the probe.

Imran Khan, the PTI chairman, was recently taken into custody by Rangers from the Islamabad High Court (IHC) in the Al-Qadir Trust case. Imran Khan is out on bail till June 2. Workers for the PTI staged demonstrations following Khan’s detention in a number of cities throughout the nation, including Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore, Karachi, Gujranwala, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar, and Mardan.

Imran Khan’s pre-arrest bail in three counts brought against him following his detention on May 9 was allowed by a counterterrorism court in Lahore on Friday.

The Punjab Government Gives PTI 24 Hours To Turn Over “Terrorists” Residing In Zaman Park

The Punjab Government Gives PTI 24 Hours To Turn Over “Terrorists” Residing In Zaman Park

May 17, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News


According to the interim information minister, 30 to 40 “terrorists” participating in the “May 9 mayhem” have sought sanctuary in the former prime minister’s home.

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) was given 24 hours to “hand over terrorists seeking refuge in Zaman Park” on Wednesday by interim Punjab Information Minister Amir Mir.

He said at a news conference that the former prime minister’s Zaman Park home had provided safe haven for 30 to 40 “terrorists” who took part in the “May 9 mayhem” after PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s imprisonment.

He said that those who attacked the Corps Commander of Lahore were among those hiding out at Zaman Park.

The Punjab Police is to receive these terrorists from PTI. The PTI leadership has been given 24 hours by the Punjab interim government, according to Mir.

“PTI is acting like an anti-state party and its Chairman Imran Khan has been targeting the military for more than a year,” he continued.

The Punjab interim Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi, according to him, “has given a free hand to police to capture the arsonists,” and the violent events that followed Imran’s arrest last week were planned in advance.

The minister emphasized that the Punjabi government had enacted a “zero tolerance policy” for anyone who planned, encouraged, and committed acts of violence.

“The federal government, military leadership, and Punjab government have decided to punish the attackers,” he said.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif declared earlier this week that “perpetrators, planners, and facilitators” of the violence on May 9 should not be spared at any price.

After presiding over the National Security Committee meeting, he stressed in a televised speech that “even the prime minister of Pakistan should not be allowed to pardon the culprits.”

He grieved that the Lahore Jinnah House (Corps Commander House) had been damaged and set on fire by the offenders.

“Jinnah House is sacred, and it was destroyed during the wave of violence,” claimed PM Shehbaz.

The PM said that “terrorism” applied to the attack’s perpetrators, planners, and facilitators.

After Imran was detained, riots broke out across Pakistan and turned violent.

At least eight individuals were murdered and close to 2,000 people were jailed.

Hundreds of demonstrators attacked and set fire to government buildings, police cars, and other public vehicles while rampaging through army sites. They also blocked key roads leading into and out of all major cities.

After Imran’s release was mandated by the Pakistani Supreme Court on May 11, the demonstrations subsided.
