If India can fetch 34 billion dollars in 2013, Pakistan in 2018 can also easily get $ 20 billion, by this scheme in which even foreign banks give loans at 1% to expatriates for investing in home country, at much higher rates.

If India can do it in 2013 why can’t State Bank of Pakistan lure inflows of billions of dollars through discounted foreign-currency swaps or IMF is the only panacea for our economic woes?

In 2013, the Indian central bank lured inflows of about $34 billion through discounted foreign-currency swaps, helping lift the
rupee from a record low.

FCNR swap deal: What it means for NRIs

Recently the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announced several measures to stabilize the Indian
rupee against the US dollar. Among them was a swap deal on FCNR deposits where the RBI has opened a window to the banks to swap fresh FCNR dollar funds, mobilised for a minimum term of three years at a fixed rate of 3.5% per annum for the tenor of the deposit. The swap window will be open until November 30, 2013.
What does this mean and will it impact Non Resident Indians investing in FCNR (B) deposits? We find out.
What is an FCNR account?
An FCNR account is a term deposit account that can be maintained by NRIs and PIOs in foreign currency. This account can be a good option for Non Resident Indians (NRIs) looking to invest in India without worrying about currency risks.
The funds in an FCNR account must necessarily come from your overseas funds. FCNR deposits can be maintained in ‘permitted currency’ which means any a foreign currency which is freely convertible and includes US dollar, Pound Sterling (GBP), Euro, Japanese Yen, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, Danish Krone, Swiss Frank and Swedish Krona among others.
What are the features of FCNR accounts?

You can open an FCNR account for a minimum term of 1 year and maximum term of 5 years. The interest rates vary between terms and from currency to currency. Rates may also vary between banks. For instance, the rate for a 1 year FCNR deposit in US dollar would be in the range of 3-4% while the same for a deposit in Australian dollar would be 6-7%.
This interest is tax free in India. However, you may be subject to tax in the country of your residence for such interest.
Balances in FCNR can be freely repatriated outside India. You can also use the balance in FCNR account for making local payments in India.
How do banks manage FCNR funds?
Banks raise FCNR funds in various foreign currencies. They then sell the foreign currency in exchange for Indian rupees at the prevailing exchange rate and use the Indian rupees for domestic lending. When the FCNR deposit becomes due for maturity, banks would need foreign currency to pay the depositor. Waiting until the date of maturity to purchase foreign currency would leave the bank open to exchange rate risk. In order to protect this risk, banks hedge their FCNR commitments by entering into forward contracts. To explain with an example, if an FCNR deposit was opened today for a term of 1 year, the bank would enter into a forward contract to buy the foreign currency after a year at a fixed exchange rate. Currently the forward rate is at a premium of around 7% per annum. That means, if the exchange rate today is Rs 65 per dollar, banks would enter into a forward contract to buy the dollar at Rs 69.55 per dollar. This way, the bank hedges any uncertainty arising out of exchange rate risk.
What is the FCNR swap deal?

The swap deal was introduced as a means to encourage banks to attract more US dollars into India. The RBI has promised banks a forward rate at a premium of 3.5% per annum for all fresh 3-year FCNR deposits raised between now and November 30, 2013. So instead of hedging at the rate of 7% per annum, banks are getting this swap deal at 3.5% per annum. This acts as an incentive for banks to raise fresh FCNR funds as it lowers the cost of hedging.
This swap deal is open until November 30, 2013 and only for deposits opened in US dollar for a period of over 3 years.
Will this benefit NRIs?

NRIs are likely to be swarmed with offers from banks to open FCNR deposits. For an NRI, the FCNR deposit itself can be an attractive proposition because the interest rates on US dollar deposits are in the range of 3-4% per annum as compared with rates as low as 1% in the US. Further, this interest is tax free in India and there is no currency risk.
The swap deal may not necessarily impact NRIs directly unless banks decide to share their gains and increase the interest rates on these deposits.
However, according to reports, what is happening is that foreign banks are rushing to lend funds to NRIs who can invest the money into FCNR deposits. For instance, an NRI would invest $100 of his own funds and borrow $400 from the US branch of his bank. The interest rate on the loan would be say 1%. The NRI would then open an FCNR account in the Indian branch of the bank and earn interest of 4%. At the end of year 1, he would make a total interest of 4% on his own funds of $100 and a net interest of 3% on the borrowed funds of $400. That makes a total interest of $16 or 16% of the original investment. For banks too, this is a win-win as their loan gets covered by the FCNR deposit and they get access to funds at a lower cost.

Dear Mr. Imran Khan Sahab

AoA.

Sir,

We take this opportunity to wish you all the success in your forthcoming visit to China.

In this regard, it is suggested that in order to bring Chinese investments in agricultural sector in Pakistan, your government may decide to immediately form a subsidiary company under Zarai Taraqiati Bank of Pakistan, with main task of funding, assisting and collaborating Research and Training with Agricultural Universities and Agricultural Research Institutes of Pakistan, to take Pakistan from primitive agricultural practices to the modern agricultural levels, for bringing a revolution in the country; which according to Mr. Asif Sharif [ I call him Pakistani Steve Jobs & a priceless genius of Pakistan] who is a world renowned, highly experienced & qualified Pakistani expert in modern agricultural practices, has the authentic potential to generate (within 2-3 years) an exportable agricultural produce surplus of over $20 billions. Few examples of which (according to Mr. Asif Sharif) are given as below.

~ We can produce sugarcane free of cost by multi cropping. Wheat covers the entire cost and sugarcane is totally free.

~ Production cost of wheat is Rs.950/40 kg, adding overheads, it costs Rs.1700. International price is less than Rs.800. Only in Sindh, we have 1.7 million tons wheat piled up since many years, rotting outside. On top of that it doesn’t meet international quality standards.
We can produce certified quality wheat at less than Rs. 100/40 Kg., instead of Rs.1700/40 Kg.

~ Over 70% water savings even on rice crop. Traditionally 5,000 to 7,000 litres of water (huge usage of already scarce water) is used to produce 1 kg repeat 1 Kg of rice.

In my humble opinion, Mr. Asif Sharif may also be included in your team of experts or appointed CEO (as he possesses vast corporate experience of multinational companies with travel experience of around 100 countries) of the proposed subsidiary of the ZTBL, which also has the potential to generate about 5 million jobs in the above referred agricultural revolution.

Mr. Asif Sharif and Dr. Ikram ul Haq, who is a world renowned Pakistani expert in Taxation and Law having tangible/solid contacts in Chinese Party circles as well, and can lure their businessmen for investment in agricultural sector in Pakistan, may also be included in your official entourage for visit to China.

Mr. Prime Minster we have at least seven other options to avoid IMF loan..!

“ae tair-e-lahoti us rizq se mout achi – jis rizq se aati ho parwaz me kotahi”

Dear Mr. Imran Khan Sahab,

AoA.

Sir,

Tonight almost entire TV news channels of Pakistan were constantly playing your different speeches of few months back, wherein, you can be heard giving rock solid commitment to the nation that you will never go begging to the IMF for loans; and that a leader never lies with his public; obviously for the reasons which must have been in your knowledge about the research which concluded that suicide rates increased in the country’s which got loans from the World Bank and the IMF. In my opinion this phenomenon may have been occurring due to the reasons of higher unemployments created by the induced privatisations sans availability of any social support net work, increase in prices of items of daily use due to the devaluation of the currency and depression created because of the increase in utility rates and discontinuation of subsides, which are the fundamental demands of the loan giving agencies, to the already economically devastated and bankrupt countries.

Sir, if I were the PM and my economic managers would have suggested for resorting to IMF for a loan with strings of privatisations, massive devaluation of the currency, as happened with Pakistan on Tuesday 9 October 2018, when suddenly in the morning parity of PKR with USD took a dip to 137 from 125 (which according to one of your own speeches further burdened Pakistan with about $10 billion for just seeking a loan of $6-8 billion), increase in utility rates and removal of subsidies etc., I would have immediately replaced my entire team with such economic professionals, who could empathise with the pains and miseries of the teeming millions and had abilities to find alternative ways to meet the financial requirements of the country, which in my views are many, as explained below:

1 (a). Pakistan was economically devastated in fighting the American/NATO imposed War on Terror (as a front line State) suffering over $ one trillion losses in the shape of losses of human lives, financial and opportunity costs and damages to its goodwill and infrastructure; one example of which is that during this period Bangladesh moved ahead in education, family planning (1% population growth) and exports (45 billion USD/ year) which consisted mainly of textiles, by getting competitive edge over our textile industry, with zero percent tax for BD produced textile items (in developed countries) like towels and bedsheets etc., while Pakistani textiles were charged 20% tax, resultantly our products became uncompetitive and exports reduced from 25 billion USD to 20 billion USD per year.

1(b). In view of the foregoing, rather than going for borrowing from IMF we should seek (with diplomatic help as well) a moratorium on repayment of loans for five years and side by side implement the following scheme, to build up our foreign exchange reserves, so that economic crisis could be overcome with some out of box thinking to tackle the economic crisis from both supply and demand sides:

1(C). Immediate launching of a scheme for payment of 3% to 5% PA profit (payable bi-annually) on Foreign Currency bank deposits in Pakistan (backed by the sovereign guarantee of the GoP) with a suitable, but attractive fixed period, as suggested below:

~3% PA profit on deposits up to 2 million USD.

~3.5% Profit on deposits over 2 million USD and up to 3 million USD.

~4% profit on deposits over 3 million USD and up to 4 million USD.

~4.5% profit on deposits over 4 million USD and up to 5 million USD.

~5% profit on deposits over 5 million USD.

~The profits on the above scheme should be payable in the USD and should be exempted from ALL taxes and other deductions, as is also the case with Euro and Sukook Bonds, issued by the GoP.

This is a fool proof scheme, sans any risk, [if at all if fails, government will bear no loss] which can boost up our foreign reserves, in a very short time, on extremely cheap rates, as compared to the foreign loans and international bonds, which were sold by the previous government of PMLN, at even 8.25% interest rates: plus undisclosed Tax Exemptions of at least minimum benefits of around 7% (Pakistan will be repaying USD 910 million for USD 500 million Euro Bonds) for which the then PM Mian Nawaz Sharif was requested to hold an inquiry, to fix the responsibility of the culprit(s), who allowed the sale of Euro Bonds, on such a criminally high interest rates.

2. May approach REBO Bank and IDB which offer funding at extremely low interest rates of 1% and 2% respectively. Here it must be remembered that although, IMF needs 0.9% interest to cover expenses on loans, yet, harsh conditions it charged 3% interest to Pakistan on its last loan to Pakistan.

3. May have tried to get funds from the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), which is operated from Beijing, China.

4. May consider pledging gold with China or any suitable country for obtaining loan against gold, as India did in July 1991, when Reserve Bank of India pledged 46.91 tonnes of gold with the Bank of England and the Bank of Japan to raise $400 million.

5. As detailed proposal has already been submitted to you vide emails titled “Suggestions to recover Pakistani wealth stashed abroad” link:- https://www.snayyar.com/suggestions-to-recover-pakistani-wealth-stashed-abroad.html#sthash.mBhTyTki.dpbs

6. Billions of USD can be easily generated by selling the government lands recently taken back from the encroachers or the government may consider selling the prime properties of President House, vast chunks from the hundreds of Kanals of PM House, the Governor House Lahore or the Prime value land of GOR-1 in Lahore, where in a suitable area, a luxurious world class residential tower can be built, for the residence of the government officers.

Sir, concluding, I would strongly stress that before giving the go ahead for getting strings attached IMF loans, just ponder for a moment that the voters have given their mandate to you, reposing their full trust in your promise that Imran Khan will never lie with his supporters.

May you always have the Blessings of Allah (SWT) to serve Pakistan for a long time to come.

Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad

Subject:-Suggestions to recover Pakistani wealth stashed abroad

Dear Mr. Imran Khan Sahab.

AoA.

Sir,

This in continuation of our trailing emails of 29 August 2018 on the subject mentioned above.

We can bring savings of expatriate Pakistanis back to provide them dollar denominated saving instruments; perhaps bearer in nature, or no questions asked.

Say our current euro bonds are junk rated and trading at a discount rate of 8% or more, but not accessible to local populace or retail customers abroad; mostly institutional.

Just give a local bond at 5% to any and everyone interested, which is far more than any such rates in the world, hence, you glean in pakistani money from our diaspora, as well as, locals.

The caveat is no questioned asked to the source of money.

Best Regards,

Hamesh Khan S. Nayyar Uddin

Dated 29 August 2018
Dear Mr. Imran Khan,

AoA.

Sir,

Please refer to our trailing email dated 29 August 2018 on the subject mentioned above.

In this connection, Mr. Hamesh Khan and myself would like to further add the following:

The main difference between our proposed amnesty scheme and the recently floated amnesty scheme which expired on 31 July 2018 (wherein it was not mandatory to bring the foreign Pakistani wealth into Pakistan) is that we have proposed that any relief of whitening the Pakistani wealth stashed abroad, with payment of tax equal to the 2 to 10% of the total amount, will only be permitted, if, that total amount is transferred back to Pakistan.

The bigger impact of our proposed amnesty scheme relates to physical repatriation of funds stashed abroad to Pakistan, which will reflect as investment into the economy.

Tax regime of 2 to 10% will be a pittance compared with physical fusion of money.

In many a recessionary time, pumping money by the central bank is the panacea of all economic woes.

Investment and resultant Productivity invariably spurs Economic Growth.
Investment is a central factor in determining the gross domestic product, which is the aggregate measure of a country’s economic output.

As societies invest more, they increase their capacity to produce more goods and services at lower costs, meaning greater productivity and economic growth.

Investment, in short, drives increases in productivity and growth.
Economists define investment as spending on inventories, structures and capital, defined as equipment used for producing goods and services.

Investment fuels rises in productivity.
Because investment is a component of GDP, increasing investment can fuel economic growth as measured by annual increases in GDP.

Investment and economic growth rate data for various countries over a period of time, gives a very good insight on economic growth.

Countries with higher rates of investment, such as Japan, South Korea and Singapore, had the highest economic growth rates for extended periods on account of higher investments. These indicate a positive correlation between investment and economic growth.

Hence bringing back money tantamount to savings that gets infused into economy for larger growth.

Dear Mr. Imran Khan,

AoA.

Sir,

This has reference to the following titled news item published by the daily “Express Tribune” of 28 August 2018.

PM seeks suggestions to recover wealth stashed abroad:

Link:-https://tribune.com.pk/story/1789207/1-pm-seeks-suggestions-recover-wealth-stashed-abroad/

The above news item explains the following challenges which may be faced by your Task Force:

– Review of all cases of unlawfully acquired assets pending before the government departments and organisations.

– Review the existing mechanism, international agreements, coordination of government of Pakistan with sovereign governments.

– Work out modalities to fast track recovery of undeclared offshore assets.

– Only legal way to get back the offshore assets was to use the Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) framework.

– Pakistan has not signed legally binding MLA treaties with key jurisdictions like the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, the United Arab Emirate and Malaysia.

– There was also lack of enabling domestic MLA law, which will become an obstacle in retrieval of assets.

– There is lack of robust interagency coordination.

– Another challenge that Pakistan will face is that it will have to establish that these were bona fide cases of recovery of assets and these were not politically motivated cases.

– Pakistan will also have to first lodge criminal cases against such individuals in local courts.

In view of the foregoing, there remains no doubt that the job of the Task Force set up to recover unlawfully acquired foreign assets is such that it will involve years of efforts to achieve any success.

As such, it is suggested that a plan B as detailed below, may be simultaneously launched to bring back foreign wealth of Pakistanis by an incentive scheme on the lines of the Indonesian model, which helped Indonesia bring back $366 billion.

In this regard, please note that under the last/latest offshore and domestic tax amnesty scheme, about 5,300 Pakistanis availed the offshore scheme and declared over $8 billion assets. But the repatriation to Pakistan remained less than $70 million.

The below mentioned suggestion is based for an estimated recovery of around 150 billion USD that too without involving any legal or administrative expenses spread over a large period of time.

PROPOSED SCHEME

Bringing back wealth has to be a collaborative process and will not yield results otherwise.

Indonesia which has a similar tax to GDP ratio as ours was able to repatriate US$366 billion through a voluntary amnesty scheme.

The main peg of the scheme was caveat of “no questions asked”.

It was a year long scheme with a varying tax rate of 2 to 10 percent.

Raising revenues through taxation is simply one aspect of revenue raising; the DECLARED MONEY VELOCITY is what spurs the economic expansion with sustainable results.

Policy makers can directly increase revenues by increasing tax rates on the rich, reducing tax breaks, expanding tax base, improving enforcement and levying new progressive tax.

Indirectly increase revenues through policies that increase economic activity, income and wealth.

One key overlooked aspect is fiscal responsibility through spending cuts, belt tightening on establishment cost across the board; but all of the aforementioned can only be achieved through a shared sacrifice psyche of the nation.

Among others, We need to work on savings and investments.

Policies that increase the number of people in work force, number of hours they work, skills, physical and intellectual capital.

Improving economy isn’t an insurmountable challenge, but the political will to push through, with less popular decisions, will test the leadership.

Excellency Mr. António Guterres,

Greetings.

There is no doubt that your excellency personally deserves the award of Nobel Peace Prize and I profoundly congratulate your excellency, on the re-emergence of UNO, under your dynamic leadership, as a potent and fearless organisation, which is firmly standing up against the genocide of the hapless people and Human Rights violations, all over the globe.

In the veracity of my above statement the following two monumental reports of UNO are living testimony of the sudden turnaround, being noticed in the performances of the UNO, with special reference to the attention towards the protection of the Human Rights of the weak and subjugated humanity.

1. First-ever UN human rights report on Kashmir calls for international inquiry into multiple violations

2. Myanmar military leaders must face genocide charges – UN report

In continuation of the above, an email was also sent (link provided below) addressed to the Prosecutor International Criminal Court dated 16 September 2018 titled “Fit case for war crimes trial of the leaders of the Indian government and its forces commanders/troops for genocide of Kashmiri population living in Indian Occupied Kashmir” contents reproduced as below:

Quote. “As it may be already very well in your knowledge that UN has described the 8,00,000 Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar, as one of the most persecuted minorities in the world, being tortured, displaced, faced travel and trade limitations, murders, now Rohingya Muslims face child-limitation policies as well.
Similarly, over 10 million Kashmiri Muslim population living since 1947 under Indian occupation forces, are the most persecuted MAJORITY in the world. The list of humanly unimaginable atrocities perpetrated for the last almost seven decades, is so long that its compilation will be more voluminous, than the final print edition of 2010 of 32-volume set of Encyclopaedia Britannica.

Quote.

“We invite your kind attention towards war crimes being continuously committed and perpetrated by the Indian Army’s leadership and troops under command and orders of the top Indian civilian government leadership in the geographical area of Kashmir under occupation of the Indian forces.

This illegal and unlawful Indian occupation of Kashmir, for a period of over seven decades, is an internationally and UN recognised dispute, as per the security council resolutions, which called for allowing/giving the right of self determination to the Kashmiri population, which is being continuously denied by the Indian government, despite of the fact that the UN military observers are posted both in India and Pakistan. As such, the presence of UN military observers proves beyond any shadow of doubt that Kashmir is NOT and has never been an internal issue/matter of India and that it needs to be resolved as per the relevant UN Security Council Resolutions.

During the above mentioned period of over seven decades, the Kashmiri population has been waging (as allowed under the UN charter) relentless struggle for their right of self determination, paying heaviest price in the history of mankind, in the shape of deaths, injuries, rapes, blindness by attack of pellet guns, abductions, jails and worst imaginable torture perpetuated by the Indian security forces.

In this regard, we take this opportunity to bring to your notice the latest case of war crime committed by the Indian occupying forces in the Indian Held Kashmir, as reported by the daily “The Express Tribune” dated 15 September 2018 titled “

Keeping in view of the fact that from today your excellency is visiting India, where the only untenable argument about Kashmir you are going to get is that it was an integral part of India and it was their internal matter.
Now the question is (even if their untenable argument is accepted for a moment) no law permits Indian authorities to subjugate Kashmiri people with unleashing worst holocaust for over seven decades, when Kashmiris have already decided to live with Pakistan, which is daily manifested by the fact that Kashmiris martyred (on daily basis) are burying their dead wrapped in Pakistani flags.

Moreover, if UN can decide and recommend war crimes trials of Myanmar Military Personnel (where Rohingya Muslims were already their internal matter as no UN Military Observers were posted in Myanmar) why not UN is recommending war crimes trial against the responsible persons of the Indian government authorities which is now using CHEMICAL WEAPONS against the hapless Kashmiris and where UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Mr. Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein has already stated in his report that there is an urgent need to address past and ongoing human rights violations and abuses and deliver justice for all people in Kashmir, who for seven decades have suffered a conflict that has claimed or ruined numerous lives.

Moreover, Indian argument also does not hold water (that Kashmir was their internal matter), because under the UN resolutions about Kashmir, the UNITED NATIONS MILITARY OBSERVER GROUP IN INDIA AND PAKISTAN is working; which is a undeniable testament of the fact that Kashmir is a disputed issue between India and Pakistan and all UN documents and Map’s show Kashmir as a disputed territory and not as an Indian territory, where millions have been killed by the Indian Forces over a period of seven decades, just because Kashmiris were and are demanding their Right of Self Determination, exactly as per the Charter of the UNO.

Your excellency it will not be out of context to inform that in the month of September 2018 the details of the casualties of Kashmiri youths caused by the of Indian forces are as below:

– 42 Killed.
– 231 Injured (including pallet gun injuries).
– 399 Arrested.

The above mentioned latest details of just a single month (September 2018) proves beyond shadow of any doubt that Indian government is determined to exterminate with impunity, from the face of this Earth, the entire youth and young generation of Kashmiris, in a systematic, planned and organised manner, even putting to shame the holocaust caused by Adolf Hitler.

In view of the foregoing, and considering that Kashmir has now become a flashpoint, between the two nuclear power neighbours, which has endangered the peace of the entire world, your excellency is requested to use your authority as the Secretary General of the United Nations, to immediately call a meeting of the Security Council, to address the following issues:

– Looming imminent danger of a full blown nuclear war between Pakistan and India over Kashmir crises.

– Initiative for commencement of war crimes trial against Indian government’s responsible personnel.

Concluding, it is also requested that your excellency may take any suitable action, applying your own independent mind during your current three day visit to India, without being influenced by the false propaganda of the Indians, who yesterday brought this world further closer to the brink of a nuclear armageddon, by firing on a civilian helicopter (legally flying much inside Pakistani territory) which on board had the Prime Minister of AJ&K’s government.

Today the main reason for a low/disappointing score of our team was that we played 175 dot balls (29.1 overs) out of 300 balls (50 overs).

In first 10 overs of our innings when only 2 fielders are allowed outside the 30 yards circle, we scored only 28 runs against Indian score of 53 runs.

Test match strategy, planning and mindset can never work in an ODI game, where name of the game is attack, innovation, positive approach in team selection, batting, bowling, fielding and staying one step ahead of the opponent’s game plan and strategy.

Keeping in view that the ODI world cup is almost around the corner, Shoaib Malik should be immediately appointed captain of the Pakistani cricket team for all the three formats; and a power hitter wicket keeper batsman inducted in place of Sarfaraz Ahmad, who unfortunately, seems to have passed his shelf life; and because of his non-performance, the team has also lost its balance.

Fit case for war crimes trial of the leaders of the Indian government and its forces commanders/troops for genocide of Kashmiri population living in Indian Occupied Kashmir

‘Barbaric conduct’: Viral picture shows Indian soldiers dragging body in IoK 

Just a misleading propaganda, where all the concerned knows that CSF payments are NOT aid, but reimbursements for use of GLOC facilities through Pakistani area, by the US and the NATO Forces.

Moreover, for Pakistan such unfriendly acts by the US governments are not a surprise. Few decades ago they not only confiscated F-16 planes duly paid in advance by Pakistan, but also demanded and got payments for storage of those confiscated F-16 planes.

Then Pakistani nation and it’s armed forces will never forget killings and maiming of our dozens of dozens officers and men by US bombardment of Pakistani post named SALALA, where these troops were specifically posted for eliminating the terrorists which were moving across the Pak-Afghan border. Those US military authorities totally forgot, before allowing the killings of Pakistani troops that how this very Pakistani Army shed their blood and sweat to protect the lives and honour of the US troops, who were under deadly attack and were being lynched in the streets of Mogadishu, Somalia.

The moral of the story is that if any nation wants to live in peace, it must not be a friend of the United States, because US has a history of not honouring promises with and remembering any sacrifices of a its friendly nations.

Moreover, we Pakistanis should also remember what the US is doing with Iran after signing of the framework for a Comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear program in 2015 by France, Germany, the European Union, Iran, United Kingdom, United States, China and Russia and above all, by even after certifications of IAEA inspectors reporting compliance of the agreement by Iran.

You give these Americans an inch and they will take a foot. As such, the Americans must be told to PAY MORE for all the due compensations (remember CSF payments were NOT compensations) of our sacrifices of men and material in the almost two decades old WOT (which is more longer time span than the length of the combined time of the WWI & WWII), including the free use of the airspace, which was many times more than the combined sacrifices of the 49 members of the NATO countries.

Last but not the least, the Pakistani leaders must keep in mind that America has completely lost the Afghan war, as per the definition of victory and defeat stated by Henry Kissinger that the conventional army (US Forces) loses if it does not win. The guerrilla (Taliban) wins if he does not lose.

Hence, we must play our cards smartly and boldly, to again do favour to our defeated friends, for an honourable exit from Afghanistan, which is not possible, without our help.
