Accounting has always been a valuable professions. Accountants can legally save or reduce taxes and such people are demigods. ACCA/CAT was a crazy when I was a student. CA was a dream.
When I joined A F Ferguson & Co & the ICAP in 1979 & 1983 there was a big gulf between local & foreign qualified. When I left in 2019 AFF was a prosperous local firm of locally qualified people. Our generation worked hard to prove that in accounting profession Pakistan excels.

A slap for a slap.
An eye for an eye.
Maula Jutt philosophy of 'Touch my face and I'll slit your throat' is the new norm in Punjab.
Dare to raise your hand against a helpless woman who leaves her home every day to earn an honest living, and be prepared to face the same humiliation. She will have the right and the opportunity to slap you back. No one, no matter how wealthy, influential, or powerful, can now intimidate, exploit, or harm an ordinary citizen with impunity. The State will stand firmly with the vulnerable and respond decisively to those who misuse their power. The days of the powerful getting away with abusing the powerless are over. The State will hit back!

It is my Great Honor to endorse America First Patriot, Vivek Ramaswamy, who is running for Governor of the Great State of Ohio, a place I love and WON BIG, THREE TIMES, in 2016, 2020, and 2024!
I know Vivek well, competed against him, and he is something SPECIAL. He is Young, Strong, and Smart! Vivek is also a very good person, who truly loves our Country. His opponent, Amy Acton, is a Radical Left Dumocrat who wants massive Tax Increases, Open Borders, Men playing in Women's Sports, and Transgender Mutilization of your Children. Amy Acton is Reckless, Radical, and Dangerous! On the other hand, as your next Governor, Vivek will fight tirelessly to Grow the Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Champion American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our now very Secure Border, SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Strengthen our Military/Veterans, Ensure LAW AND ORDER, Advance Election Integrity, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment.
Vivek Ramaswamy has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Governor of the Great State of Ohio. GET OUT AND VOTE FOR VIVEK — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Many countries such as the UK dont have a constitution. The court verdicts serve as a precedent. In Pakistan, the Federal Constitutional Court (FCC) has asserted its superiority, stating that Supreme Court past judgements are not binding on it.

It's a disgrace, though unsurprising, that Dawn still gives space to these pseudo-intellectuals. He probably wakes up in the middle of the night and screams 'PTI, PTI'. I was at peace when I unfollowed him on every platform. You should do the same.
Smoker's corner: "PTI’s popularity was methodically cultivated, mainly by the military establishment. Indeed, the party effectively mobilised a real sense of grievance among urban middle-class voters who were exhausted by the perceived ‘corruption’ of traditional parties such as the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP)."
