Haqqani was in my department in Karachi University, he was ideal person to me he was president of Jamat Islami. I was in first year. I asked him to write something for me so he wrote ( piece of paper is still with me) میرے خدا میری ملت کے نوجوانوں مین! میری دعا ہے میرے ہم خیال پیدا کر. (23 دسمبر 1980)
I am ordering all of his three books after this podcast. He is such a knowledgeable personality.

No country says to its ambassador “hum apkay khilaf sazish kar rhe han”. They ‘interfere’ (which was written in nsc meeting), people conspire, and that’s where you see all of a sudden there comes no confidence motion, pti politicians, mqm and other coalition partners do what they were supposed to do. Why? Khan was already losing his battle what was the point then?

We have to appreciate and bring Hussain Haqqani and likeminded people in mainstream.
very fruitful podcast. really changed my perspective
Certainly, one should see all sides of the story and then analyze the issue. The problem in Pakistan is that we are emotional and don't want to see logic or rationale because it's doesn't require any effort to label someone as traitor rather than thinking, pondering and analysing the other perspective.
Shazad bai what a marvelous speaker and his delivery skills are gem....kindly bring forth this sort of people who have been affiliated to relevant domains... unfortunately mainstream media brings the same typical politician who don't comes up with any solution...

Get off of KZread and Twitter and go check see the popularity. Imran khan is a demagogue. A good story teller, narrator, icon. Like a snake he knows how to catch his prey by appealing to the masses. Naya Pakistan, riyasat e madina and seerat e nabvi. Not to forget the saga of 35 puncture Now letter gate.

Mr. Haqqani used to be a Jamat e Islami activist. However, Mr. Haqqani completely transformed himself. We need more Pakistanis like him for our countries to work together.
such an insightful talk. keep sharing such talks. can anyone recall poetic line of habib jalib quoted by HH?

Good discussion! But why our youth is suffering from Messiah complex? Isn’t it because our two main political parties failed to deliver and the people were desperately looking for a Messiah ?
Good discussion. Thanks
Interesting discussion. He has some good points. Pakistani politics needs some educated advisors. I don’t think IK is the solution to Pak problems. Thanks for sharing
42:07 Respectfully disagree sir. The British would obviously say that cause lower pay is in their interest, multiple studies have proven education and good pay reduces corruption while lack of either contributes to corruption. Even today caste is sighted as reason to oppose affirmative action / raising wages / improving working conditions. The rationale of the privileged being that "they" don't need any better, it's "their" own doings that are responsible for the way things are.

That lower wages are responsible for corruption in the first place and any privileged class keeps wages low as it benefits them. I understand Hussain's point about the existence of corruption, but not him bringing up British justifications without rebuttals. The British Raj economically exploited the colonies and to justify exploitation like low wages to their own people, the British elite spin narratives like "corruption is in their blood". Meaning wage increase isn't required or won't do any good, this ofcourse is BS.
Excellent episode.
Great discussion
