CIA? No need. Pakistan takes care of itself, all by itself.

Pakistan may face more economic misery if election result unclear​

Feb 10, 20:38
The possibility of a political stalemate in Pakistan leading to delays in both reforms and crucial foreign funding has sparked a selloff in its international bonds and fuelled analysts' fears of further economic misery for the country.

Results coming in from Thursday's election saw an unexpectedly strong showing for independents - mostly supporters of jailed former prime minister Imran Khan - trailed by former prime minister Nawaz Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the Pakistan Peoples Party of Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari.

Sharif has already claimed victory, but his party remains far short of the necessary number of seats to form a government on its own.

The election, which was itself much delayed, comes at a pivotal moment.

Pakistan is in an economic crisis, with dwindling foreign currency reserves that will be further strained by a $1 billion bond payment due in two months, while its $3 billion funding programme with the International Monetary Fund expires on April 12.

"Pakistan will be entering into more severe political and economic instability if no party emerges with a simple majority," said Sajid Amin of the Sustainable Development Policy Institute, a former adviser to the ministry of finance.

'In Karachi, robbery was committed, not theft': Siraj​

Feb 10, 21:11

In a strongly worded post shared on his official X handle, Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Sirajul Haq denounced the purported electoral rigging, labeling it a direct affront to the integrity of the vote and public sentiment.

Describing it as the most egregious instance of rigging in history, he claimed that results were manipulated in favour of PML-N, PPP, and MQM, particularly highlighting the situation in Karachi as akin to robbery, not mere theft.


Expressing his firm stance against such manipulation, Haq declared his personal participation in the protest in Karachi, emphasising that robbery of the people's mandate is unequivocally unacceptable.
