Nov30-2025-- coal prices rise on stoppage of afghan imports..local coal 'darra' prices rose around by 50%...cement manufacturers rely heavily on import of afghan coal in the north...and exports of cement...afghan imports of cement are 7% of pakistans cement exports ...Pakistans exports of pharma products were around 15% of total exports to afghanistan..Searle Pakistan earlier a maker of low cost pharma products say they make specialised medicines for Afghanistan and they will lose around Rs2 billion annually...around 1100 containers are stuck at Torkham and Chaman...Pakistans export of kinnow, bananas,potatoes,and mangoes are also around 15-20% of exports while pakistan imports grapes, tomatoes, onions, pomegranates and apricots..pomegranates, red apples and grapes from iran coming to pakistan now...ghee another major export commodity...export and smuggling of staples like wheat flour, Basmati rice, sugar, vegetables, ghee, fertiliser, and petroleum products distorts domestic prices and causes shortages and inflation...The Daily Tribune writes"Border regions thrive not on barbed wire alone but on balanced economic ecosystems." informality and sovreignity are problems and the people living in border areas are not easily controllable..thus control and restriction will always have to coexist...Afghanistan eventually has to depend onits own industries like Pakistan and will have too giveup terrorism or face increased isolation at least from Pakistan...at the moment Pakistan is finding it difficult to fix a border that weakens the state internally
Nov30-2025--rail line blownup near Quetta amongst seven low level explosions in Quetta and Dera Murad Jamali..
Nov29-2025--In an almost a repeat of his previous press conferences the ISPR chief says the afghan border fence is useless and Army unable to stop infiltration or handle afghan cross border firing...he also blames non custom paid vehicles and diesel smuggling in baluchistan for funding violence which is dubious...noncustom paid vehicles are rarely used in such terrorism even though there are a large number of them plying in KP...most terrorists travel around on motorcycles...military should improve monitoring on the border and try to stop infiltration whatever the type of border...The military avoids focus on its own work and focuses on the civilian domain of smuggling and financing as the cause...The fence was build by a previous military chief and and is 1300 kilometers long...fencing along iranian border is still ongoing...while in military war mongering any type of border can be crossed it is still military's job to monitor it...as for the equipment left behind by the USA most of it is controlled by the afghan army and it is not really used by terrorists apart from the usual US rifles and chinese rocket launchers...if the army thinks that they are being left behind in the fight because of specific weapons than obviously they should purchase newer modern weapons...US rifles can be acquired as well as night vision goggles etc...They probably need better bullet proof vests/helmets

Nov29-2025--some heat being raised on jail meetings with imran which have been refused for a month..some suggest that the jail superintendant might be using his powers as he is supposedly chief of the jail..some suggest that imran might not want to meet them...!given that they are useless in getting him released...the jail superintendant can deny meetings many say for disobedience and politicking...Otherwise they say that in Punjab prisoners are allowed five people to meey in a week with family and lawyers and thirty minutes of phone time...possibly the KP CM does not fall in that yardstick although his meeting would give him greater say in KP governance...even a condemned prisoner is allowed one meeting a week and 30 minutes of phone time..there are several PCO's(phone places) in the jail...Achakzai the dubious PTI parliamentry leader says he can bring people onto the street in all provinces...PTI runs around in circles and does not contact the government...!while the courts have ordered twice weekly meetings they have refused to declare non compliance tobe contempt of court...many suggest the PTI and imran depend on prayer and duas...!or sohail afridi should go meet the primeminister and assure him of his full cooperation or perhaps the army chief...!There is a mild possibility given some jail visible operations that Imran might agree to go overseas...the jail has been getting ready seemingly with police squads and prisoner vans moving around...government worried only that imran maybe behind destabilizing moves or creating trouble which is second nature for him...!The IHC CJ also refused to meet sohail afridi and aleema khan suggesting that it is better to not get personally involved...!

Nov27-2025--Nawaz again starts whining about the 2018 election saying those who bought imran to power are bigger criminals... he blames the iSI and judiciary for the problem...Nawaz Sharif who just passively watched as Imran did his dharna and did not seem to know what the judges were doing in the court cases...his lack of aggression/do nothing approach probably cost him that election..however whatever the judiciary and fauj/ISI and religious/ethnic groups do it is the people who have to vote to bring anyone to power...as for the currency the blame agains falls on Ishaq Dar rather than the IMF...when the currency was losing around 5% annually he took it from a Rs125 to nearly 300...that was really criminal and the excessive increase in tariffs of electricity...if one goes back far enough it was Nawaz Sharif who started dollar accounts and turned the dollar into a second currency...with so many dollars in so many hands and the afghans literally siphoning of dollars the currency volatility could not be stopped...The dollar rate in 1947 was Rs.3 to the dollar...and it was shahbaz sharif who blocked nawaz sharifs three sugar mills...to destroy him
Nov27-2025-- rumours spread by indian and afghan media suggest that Imran has passed away...government and PTI deny rumours...many say meetings are being denied because of rumours that the PTI wants to further exploit imrans incarceration by either attacking the jail or starting a dharna or hour long press conferences outside the jail...a SP police agreed to in a meeting with aleema khan to allow them to meet imran next week...many wonder what is the matter and imran might be feeling unwell..usually he has always been found healthy...others say a one man rule is being experimented and salman raja refusing to allow anyone to meet Imran...Defence minister states he used to sleep on the floor with two blankets when jailed...Imran he says has an exersize machine and Tv and gets food from outside(once a week) and has a plush bed...earlier reports suggested that he had a personal cook too...jail rotis in photos seem quite edible..the photos below are not fake but from earlier events...
Nov26-2025--Adiala jail superintendent says that imran X account not being operated from jail...authorities can inform X that the account is being used illegally...it would have tobe someone who meets him regularly...and that could point to aleema khan or salman raja...!some say it could be a journalist who puts out views similar to imrans...

Nov26-2025--lawyers trying embarass FCC by suggesting that they need a bench larger than 7 to review a seven bench SC judgement...there full court which is equivalent is five at the moment...so whatever the case it is a paradox as the SC cannot handle constitutional matters even appeals...another lawyer tried to suggest that they cannot handle appeals of decisions made in the SC...the answer is the same that the SC is no lomger empowered in constitutional/fundamental rights cases...still another lawyer has moved the FSC to declare the 27th amendment unislamic...they say they might strike down immunity clauses...!
Nov26-2025-- a by-election victory and such a sweeping one shows that there is reality behind it...whether it is delivering despite floods and PTI's campaign to prove that they are being victimised even outside the adiala jail or just the loss of support by the PTi as they have little too offer apart from protests on amendments and incarceration...the government says they have met imran hundreds of times and all they want is to be seen as being pushed into the dust of extinction...The PTI could easily have put up a better show with better candidates than wives and nephews...and just avoiding a election shows their bitter defeat in ordinary maneouvering of politics...

Nov18-2025--The economist article on Bushra Riaz Wattoo Maneka aka imran ki pirni/biwi is deemed correct in its connotation of duping the people in twisting minds on the religion theme with a special side dish of black magic and spells and voodoo...u can see imran in his marriage picture proudly showing off his sort of second hand trophy wife in seven purdahs while other pictures show her in relatively more normal dress patterns... Imran's wife brought him a lot of support from a section of the populace not too keen on him initially kicking out his best friends...it was widely rumored that his wife had suggested a January 1 marriage if he wanted to become prime minister...however the image of both imran and his wife suffered badly as their governance ended…with his wife's friend flying around with the chief minister and making land purchases and looting a billion from transfers and appointments of which the Imran's supposedly got a share etc...and the money mongering looting duo languish in jail ...PMLn said that the deception of the fake spiritual setup and the so-called mysticism that concealed darker intentions that eventually collapsed... The article said she misled the simpleton duped imran who accepted his wife’s claim to be a mystic and that she could read faces, he would ask for photographs of potential candidates, which would be sent to Bushra Bibi for a decision. Earlier imran was relatively normal being shown praying alone in mosques ...! The problem shown in his pathetic dua postures...running around with beads and not looking like someone who could be hooked by a supposedly religious mind twister...dua/darood is typical of a semi rural uneducated culture here...as the typical pakistani wife she first distanced imran from his supposedly best friends or associates...only the dupes or blind followers were soon left in the party...The dubious response that the writer was typically anti PTI seems incorrect…what eventually happened does not explain all the things ,whether voodoo is sufism is not clear to many...! the writer said that she had left out a lot of material...i found the following interesting apart from the use of her by the ISI...
It is true that many of the details of Bushra Bibi’s occult-sounding activities come from members of the Khan household who lost their positions after she arrived. But the picture they paint is detailed. Safeer, Khan’s driver, said that soon after she moved into Khan’s house he was told to buy 1.25kg of beef, which was passed around her husband’s head three times while she chanted incantations. The flesh, according to Safeer, was then thrown on the roof to be eaten by the birds. Next, red chillies were circled around the former cricketer’s head. (They were set alight to ward off bad spirits that had been left by his second wife.)
The driver said he was also instructed to procure the severed heads of black goats each day, except on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, when he had to buy dead black chickens instead. He delivered these items to Bushra’s maids at 10 or 11 in the morning; in the afternoon the remnants would be returned with an instruction to leave them in a graveyard. Azim Rana, a butcher near Khan’s home, also recalled getting odd orders from the household—each morning he would be asked for beef, black animal heads and, from time to time, live black goats which he claimed he would personally deliver and dispatch with a special knife provided by Bushra Bibi.
In Pakistani terminology, Bushra Riaz Wattoo would be described as a witch...or a pirni..!
Some suggestions in the article that imran became more popular in jail don't seem correct...
While sacrificing black goats is common, the other parts are typical black magic and casting of spells...even ordinary women believe they can cast spells religiously or sect wise etc. usually it is common to pray for enemies to be destroyed... However, women are prone to using influence whichever way they want/can, with the husband being a favorite target...most of the article is describing what happens in Pakistan... Imran's and Bushra's philosophies or supposedly Sufism depended on individual/group animosities......if u want to read the article, click the link below:

Nov17-2025--NFC session delayed as economic gurus seek reduction in provincial shares...the government was unable to get a constitutional amendment on the issue...with dwindling funds, the government has to take 6 trillion in annual loans to assuage the provincial greed... Government wanted to reduce shares of bigger provinces and increase centers share and also increasing smaller provinces needs…the NFC award from 2009 will therefore be carried over again...as it is a percentage it will normally increase anyway...government should freeze NFC payments on this year or last year's number...and end percentages...
