I thank all viewers for the robust feedback to the two interviews with Tahir Khan (on Pakistan, Afghan Taliban & TTP) and Shabbar Zaidi on Interim Govt and the relations between US, Pakistan and China. From the huge response it looks that GVS News platform has finally arrived - but this is just the beginning and I plan to bring many more new and interesting discussions! One, I intend to bring counter views and perspectives to both discussions of Tahir Khan and Shabbar Zaidi; but more importantly I want to broaden our lens of looking at the world. I find the spread of American Islam a very inspiring phenomenon within the US and will like to explore it through interviews with some of the respected figures that are considered though leaders of the American Muslim community. With these ideas in the pipelines, I will agains request you to join me at GVS News, open your Bell Ringers for Notifications so that alerts can reach you whenever I post a new video.

This is Part:2 of the explosive discussion with Shabbar Zaidi (Ex-Chairman FBR under Imran Khan Govt) & long time confidant of IK. His argument that without first fixing economy through painful decisions even Imran Khan as PM will be in trouble. There are no easy or magical fixes for Pakistan's troubled economy. US help is must, US can help increase Pakistan exports by US $10 billion if it brings the kinds of quotas it provided to Bangladesh. Discussion is provocative and I will offer its counter arguments myself later and by inviting other perspectives on the same issues. Do give your comments below. Subscribe and Share our video.

Shabbar Zaidi, Ex-Chairman FBR, under Imran Khan Govt, in a very provocative discussion argues that Interim Setup is expected in Pakistan very soon and elections can't be stopped for long. However he argues that elections will not resolve Pakistan's severe economic crisis. Even Imran Khan coming into power without fixing the basic issues of economy will fall into trouble and that's why a powerful interim set up is needed. Pakistan needs US and Wests' help. Country's power centres have realised that China is not competent or generous enough to help Pakistan and their options lie with the US and its western block. US will need Pakistan to adjust its state policies towards India, China, Afghanistan and Iran. Do give your comments below. Subscribe and Share our video.

Turkey, ever since the collapse of Ottoman Empire, has very difficult relations with its Kurdish population. One of the principal reason for this has been the insistence of Kemalists that all Turks are just one unitary nation with one religion, language, culture and history. Even the Ottoman Empire did not have exemplar relations with its myriad subjects but it was nevertheless an empire. New state claimed itself to be repressing a single nation that has further complicated the matters. Kurds in any case are a embittered nation split as they are between Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria. In recent years since the US occupation of Iraq after 9/11, US policy makers have seen Kurds as their allies; this has further strained Kurdish-Turk relations and impacted on US-Turkey relations. Most Turks believe that 2016 failed military coup was sponsored by the US and these attacks in Istanbul have come at a time when US-Turkey relations are an exceptionally low ebb. Turkey that looked so promising till only a few years ago under Erdogan's leadership is now increasingly troubled and these attacks are yet another symptom of underlying troubles. This important leading country of the Muslim world needs fresh political thought to emerge out of its multiple crises. Do give your comments below. Subscribe and Share our video.

Gen. Ayub Khan's govt while designing the new capital of Islamabad in 1960's never thought that the new city will also need courts. So no space was kept for District & Session Court in the initial master plan. Even today, 60 years later District Courts work from rented property in the F-8 Markaz. Premises earmarked for District Courts are in the posession of High Court the High Court's new building is now in its final stages on Constitution Avenue. But law and justice have little to do with buildings. What's wrong with Pakistan's legal and judicial structure? A frank, hard hitting interesting and Informative discussion with Barrister Shoaib Razzaq, candidate for President Islamabad High Court Bar Association.
