INDIA-PAKISTAN relations resemble nothing more than a game of snakes and ladders, with more snakes than ladders. That tendency was worsened recently by the Imran Khan government taking yet another U-turn on its policies, this time on reopening trade with India, making everyone wonder whether it was even worth trying to get the relations with this troublesome and erratic neighbour on an even keel.
First, the clearance for importing sugar and cotton from India was done by Pakistan’s Economic Coordination Committee headed by Finance Minister Hammad Azhar, who had attended this meeting on his very first day in office. Till then, it was Prime Minister Imran Khan who was holding charge of the Finance Ministry, after the unceremonious exit of his predecessor Hafeez Sheikh after less than two years in office on March 30. But he was luckier. Another Finance Minister Asad Umar lost his job in just eight months.

Gilani s win in Senate could spell end of PTI govt: Rana Sanaullah
LAHORE (Dunya News) - Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior leader Rana Sanaullah has said that PTI’s assembly members have contacted PML-N and former Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani for tickets. If the former PM wins a seat in the Senate, it would be difficult for the PTI government to survive.
Speaking exclusively with Dunya News program ‘Ikhtalafi Note’, the PML-N leader said that Senate election adjustment in Punjab was not the result of any negotiation or settlement, only the covering candidates withdrew their nominations.
