Thank you for exposing Pakistani army "Gadar" Generals like Hafiz Munir.
British Author Tariq Ali used the term 'Army Party' many years ago. Pak Army is the smallest political party with the biggest guns.
کہہ دو میرے ان بندوں سے جنہیں حالات ناممکن لگ رہے ہیں کہ میں ہر شے پر قدرت رکھنے والا ہوں (القرآن)
Sorry but 😅😂🤣
Ms Ayesha it’s always great to see you here. Your knowledge and wisdom is appreciated. Proud of you! So much to learn from you!
Decision by Isthara.
Decision neither by Military 🪖 nor by political governments
What prosperity has given us peace and prosperity ☀️
Islam shariah does not 🚫 empose Taxes customs,traffic ⛔
Wajahat Bhai
Asif from UK London
What a word
Political Army
It's a new word
Stand with Imran khan the leader 🌹
If this ever happened in the USA (which is extremely unlikely) then the US President would have fired the Army chief within a minute and that Army chief would have been in the jail for rest of his life.
Kindly Bring "Ayesha Siddiqa" more on The show whenever she is Free ....She Is Such an Excellent intellectual.... I hope ke Pakistan main Kash Aisa Mahool Hota Ke mam ayesha Jaisy Intellectuals yahan Bhi Reh Skty.....
I love it when she said our military is a political party in pakistan. Stay always blessed Wajahat.
Wajahat we salute you that you provide a platform where truth and bitter reality of today's qabza mafia of pakistan is exposed we should keep on struggling against this
Pakistan had applied for BRICS membership in 2023. If Pakistan will supply weapons to Ukraine then Russia will oppose this membership.
maangne ke liye membership ya kuch dene ke liye?
It's too much horrible situation 😭😭 Pakistani awaam kidher jaain , ham to totally loser hain , aik hope of light hay woh b bujhanay peh tulay hain 😢😢😢
Excellent show. Gratitude to ayesha siddiqa for her input. Post kargil china trip was news to me.
اللہ پاک اپ دونوں"مس عائشہ صدیقہ" اور"وجاہت سعید خان"کو سلامت رکھے ۔امین
Ameen suma ameen
Excellent show with your guest WSK ❤🎉
A very good and important discussion! Points for us to think about
Wajahat S KHAN, it's so good to see you back on your mahaz with full zeal&zest. Stay safe ,Aysha Siddiqa, the best analyst ,who's one of the best,stay blessed you both.
Awam ko apni adalat sadkon per laga deni chahye agar Pakistan ko bachana hai toooooo ...
Miss ayesha gave a very good analysis. It seems that she had a very good understanding about the issues in pakistan.
Madam has full appreciation of the entire situation of the country. Discussion was elaborate and informative. There doesn't seem any immediate breakthrough to restore democratic rights.
What about our own country? Peace and rule of law in our own country. Whose responsibility is that?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hmmm I guess the day Pakistanis learn to write “peacekeeper” and not ‘“peackeeper” . People who can’t responsibly upload a UA-cam header in thumbnail, you believe they can take responsibility of a country?
When was Pakistan foreign policy with anyone other than the army, for it to be hijacked ?? 😅
عائشہ صدیقہ اور وجاہت خان کو سلام
Thank you WSK for your efforts and hard work. You have inspired many others like a candle lighting other candles.
Always good hearing her,thanks
Because Pak Army is the Viceroy General of new American Crown after 1947.
After a long gap, Wajahat, what an excellent analysis.
Zabardast analysis.. Great show
Pakistan's foreign policy has historically been dominated by the military establishment, particularly the army, rather than civilian political leadership.
The military sees itself as the guardian of Pakistan's security interests and has resisted efforts by civilian leaders to normalize relations with India over issues like Kashmir.
The military has cultivated strong ties with China and the U.S. based primarily on security, economic & political factors.
There is a convergence between the military's security policies and U.S. interests, leading to robust military-to-military ties rather than civilian government relations.
The military has frequently interfered in domestic politics, removing civilian governments and staging coups to protect its institutional interests.
The Pakistani military, especially the army, plays a dominant role in shaping and executing the country's foreign policy
True 100%. Unfortunately. Look where it led our beloved Motherland to. Devastation all around. Total chaos. Hate for army is unbelievable. Universally ridiculed. During Imran khan tenure for the first time we started to face the world with our heads held high. Alas 😢

Pakistan has reportedly supplied ammunition to Ukraine through contracts with US private companies, while maintaining a stance of neutrality in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. However, there are conflicting reports on the extent of Pakistan's involvement.
Pakistan signed contracts worth $364 million with US firms Global Military and Northrop Grumman in August 2022 to supply 155mm artillery shells to Ukraine.
These shells were allegedly transported via British military cargo planes from Pakistan to Ukraine through Cyprus and Romania.
Pakistan's arms exports also increased by 3,000% in the fiscal year 2022-23, potentially indicating supplies to Ukraine.
However, Pakistan's Foreign Office has consistently denied providing any arms or ammunition to Ukraine, stating that Pakistan maintains a policy of "strict neutrality" in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
While Pakistan may be supplying ammunition to Ukraine covertly for economic reasons, it also seeks to maintain ties with Russia for potential oil imports and to avoid antagonizing a major power.
This apparent double game highlights the complex geopolitical dynamics at play for Pakistan.
Ultimately, the extent of Pakistan's military support to Ukraine remains unclear, with conflicting narratives from different sources.

Hats off for both of you. Great
Energetic WSK👍
It reminds me of Europe in Middle Ages with feudalism , our army chief is the lord whose knights pbuild their army by exploiting the peasants. We the people of Pakistan are reduced to the level of medieval peasants.
We work and pay crazy indirect taxes to increase the strengths of the knights and the grandeur of the lord.
Pakistan seems to be heading backwards rather than forward in history.
Always excellent

Very good updates and analysis
Great Analysis Wajahat Bhai!! We are ruled by East Indian company now
Very good and informative
One of the best programs.
Amazing analysis
Zabardast analysis
A new phase of ‘development’ is also underway in the name of Green Tourism / SIFC. Their aim is to promote tourism in the country specially in Gilgit Baltistan. GBians are strongly and boldly standing up against it. The context of East India Company is quite relevant here.
Very informative analysis
ABSOLUTELY
Favourite topic
You are great sirr
Welcome back😊
Always happy to see such intelligent women analysts :)
Great episode, please do a followup of the topic if there are any updates.

Zabardast analysiert!
Well said

Brilliant 👌 that's why your absence can't be tolerated 👏👏👏
You both person perfect 👍 god bless you friends ❤
This is why they are called " Company"
Excellent analysis. I completely agree they are the country. We all are just renters.
Apko abi smj aa rhi state in a state hamy tu khan na sb dekha dia ankhy khol d khatam hogy shok salute krny k inki izat ka ab khayal e jata rha demagh9 sy kasy ya Pakistan ko manage kr rhy
Asalamwalekum inko abi aor apki eyes IMRAN KHAN ne kholi mager hum pathan KPK ke log specially sabka trible areas ke logon ko last 22 years se Army ki asliat ka pata hai.
U hv rightly challenged Ayasha on some points. Internal pressures of IK n the masses on estb is at a level never experienced before n getting higheir as judiciary is also reacting n it is getting difficult to contain Imran in bogus cases. Country is going down n near to crash making people frustrated who now know estb n their bogus govt r the mainly responsible for the country failure. Internationally also no body is coming forward to put money on Pakistan. Army underhand policies n money making has brought no benefits for country development.
Ukraine is why Chief is in army
This was a beautiful discussion, I usually find ayesha boring, for various reasons.
But today, she talked sense without the usual self loathing.
Heart breaking and sad.
The moment you announce Aisha Siddiqa is joining you i left ur vlog.
Y , she's a great lady
Do U like the Truth or Falsehood
@@user-uv1eb9eo3r yes agree with you totally
@@user-uv1eb9eo3r yes agree with you totally
WSK ❤️
Nice ❤
It is called East India Company, but fully autonomous as it functions with no responsibility of appraisal and taxation. It’s like a rise of machines with it own artificial intelligence to survive and counter any incoming threats. 😅
جزاك الله
Love you bro 🌷 really appreciate you efforts ❤️
Thanks Wajahat for your insights and great vlogs
Very good 😊
Landreforms should be the priority even for military government !
