  • Chandrachur Singh
    Chandrachur Singh “The opposition - a consortium of nearly two dozen parties - has not been able to rally people around economic distress despite raising it as a prominent election issue. The problem with the opposition is that it is a coming together of parties with divergent views whose only agenda seems to be to dislodge Modi. To the people, that doesn't seem to be a good enough agenda. The fact that the opposition has not projected a face against Modi is also an issue. Rahul Gandhi is slowly emerging as that leader, but in terms of perception, he is still far behind Modi.” 19 hours ago
  • Neelanjan Sircar
    Neelanjan Sircar “A large part of what the BJP [Bharatiya Janata Party] does is thinking about how to centralise all political attribution on Modi. Its campaign promises are pitched as Modi's guarantees. This is the strategy of a party where the leader is a cult figure and the party is the vehicle for the leader. Whether it's economic distress or even issues like violence in Manipur, Modi is not directly sullied. People may blame other leaders of the BJP. In regional elections, as a consequence, BJP might be voted out. But it is not anger against Modi.” 19 hours ago
  • Benjamin Netanyahu
    Benjamin Netanyahu “The idea that we will stop the war before achieving all its objectives is out of the question. We will enter Rafah and we will eliminate the Hamas battalions there - with or without a deal, in order to achieve the total victory.” 20 hours ago
  • Nour Odeh
    Nour Odeh “For a while, there was a lot of cautious optimism up until this morning, and then the prime minister announced he will order an invasion of Rafah with or without a deal - in essence trampling all of these ceasefire talks. This is what the families of the captives had feared. This is what the negotiators feared. Netanyahu's comments came after he held meetings with the most right-wing members of his coalition government, including Itamar Ben-Gvir. It's interesting, every time Blinken comes to the region - catching the tailwind of some optimism - something like this happens, and he ends up going home with nothing to show for all this political momentum.” 20 hours ago
  • Randall Kuhn
    Randall Kuhn “Put simply, the situation in Gaza is it's completely intolerable at this point. We're on the border of famine and for us as a university, we have to reckon with the fact that every university in Gaza has been destroyed. As a professor, I find it repugnant to sit by while Palestinian professors are being killed, while academic buildings are being bombed relentlessly.” 20 hours ago

“I was impressed by Khan's anti-corruption platform and was tired of the status quo. But then I saw that while Khan publicly talked about the poor, privately he surrounded himself with wealthy investors.”

“As far as governance was concerned, the government had totally failed. There was disgruntlement for the past two years. The party [Balochistan Awami Party (BAP)] was not happy about its share in the federal government and the ministerial portfolio it has been allocated.”

“Pakistan has been the victim of the war in terror over the past two decades and has been the only country that was speaking the truth. Pakistan had told Nato and the US not to try to achieve a military victory, but that the allied forces had aimed for a total triumph. We said they live in a bubble and don't have the pulse of the people and it was corrupt. We cannot signal to the Afghans that the only ones that matter are those that are fortunate enough to be associated with western and international organisations. If the world repeats the mistakes of the 90s, the results will not be better than last time. If we again find the easy path and say, 'We are done and out of here,' the international legitimacy of the western world will disappear in one second. We will have a humanitarian crisis, we will have instability and we will have a security vacuum that terrorists may fill, again targeting Pakistan first and the western world second. We were never asked when the deadlines for troop withdrawal were agreed. We were talking about a 'responsible withdrawal', which means political settlement before the withdrawal. he west of turning Pakistan into a scapegoat, when the real problems on the ground - a lack of trust, corruption, an army not able to stand up - were completely ignored. The result is an embarrassment for everyone, a capitulation, an army with no will to fight, and President Ghani fleeing away … The world should stand up now and say we will learn lessons, something has gone horribly wrong and we will not look for scapegoats.”

“Pakistan will not take an isolated decision of accepting the Taliban government [...] we are in contact with other countries and will make a decision in line with the world powers. It is good to see that not many losses were incurred by people (during the offensive).”

“This is absolute nonsense [the report that Pakistani fighters have crossed the border into Afghanistan to aid the Taliban]. We do not have the capacity to have any more fighting within our borders, any terrorism within our country. When we were in the height of that war on terror, which Pakistan joined, there were suicide bombs taking place all over the country. The businesses collapsed, tourism collapsed. So what we do not want to be as part of any conflict.”

“Pakistan-China relations are very unique and special. Over the past seven decades, the two countries have formed a close and friendly brotherhood. Today we are strategic partners and cooperate in almost every field. This year is a milestone in our relationship as we are celebrating 70 years of the establishment of diplomatic ties. Our bilateral ties enjoy support at the highest level and have been nurtured over the years by successive generations of our leadership and people. This is the essence of our strong ties. We hope that in the next 70 years, we will take this relationship to even greater heights.”

“Our interaction with Chinese officials, that version of what is happening in Xinjiang is completely different to the version of what we hear from the Western media and the Western governments. Because we have our very strong relationship with China, and because we have a relationship based on trust, so we actually accept the Chinese version. What they say about their programmes in Xinjiang, we accept it. The CPC [Communist Party of China] is a unique model. Up until now, we were told that the best way for societies to improve themselves is the Western system of democracy. What the CPC has done is that it has brought this alternative model. And they have actually beaten all Western democracies in the way they have brought up merit in their society.”

“If India is willing to revisit some of the decisions that they took on August 5, 2019 [India revoking Indian-administered Kashmir's special constitutional status], Pakistan will be more than happy to engage, sit and talk out our differences and sit and, through a dialogue, resolve the outstanding issues.”

“When you decide on your future, and when the people of Kashmir, God willing, decide in Pakistan's favour, I want to say that after that Pakistan will give Kashmiris the right that if you want to be independent or a part of Pakistan. This will be your right.”

“While some were unfortunately trying to politicize the virus, Pakistan stood shoulder to shoulder with our Chinese friends. We shared what [personal protective equipment] PPE we could with China, and our president paid a visit to Beijing at the height of the epidemic with the express intention of demonstrating solidarity with our iron brother. Over the course of seven decades, our fraternal ties have evolved into an 'all-weather strategic cooperative partnership,' finding few parallels in the modern history of inter-state relations. Both countries have progressively enhanced their engagements in diverse fields ranging from political and economic ties to ever-increasing cooperation for enriching cultural and people-to-people exchanges.”

“They have to understand that our relationship with China is not a zero-sum game for them. They (the US) should come, compete and invest. Pakistan traditionally has had the opportunity and has built bridges between the two. In this environment, where there is a change … Pakistan can be a bridge-builder.”

“I have learned through our intelligence sources and they have picked up this information that India is planning a surgical strike against Pakistan. This is a serious development and I also have knowledge that they have tried to seek tacit approval from important players who they consider to be their partners. I want to tell India very clearly that Pakistan is fully prepared to respond and to defeat their designs. We will do it effectively as we did respond immediately and effectively in February 2019. And we will respond effectively if they choose this path.”
