2024 Elections

2024 Elections
election results in 2024..PTI in 2018 just a pukhtun based party literally surged in Punjab and karachi to emerge as the largest party with 114 seats in the national assembly...Though imran did not win a majority in 2018 even he failed in 2024 because of more cooperation between the PMLn and PPP and the collapse of the majlis amal and the breakup of imrans coalition whom he derogatorily alleged were trying to blackmail him alongwith losing the backing of the army and the resurgence of the mqm-P and JUIf...there is a large difference in the 2018 upright imran the cricket captain and the dubius looter/crazy politician imran in 2024 and the running after money, embezzler of party funds/funds from dubious contractors..looting state gifts and using a foreign office cipher for propaganda the world over..his mean and nasty influencers also did not help his cause...the PTI used to lap up everything the PTI influencers put out...

The Daily Pakistan Politics (aka Political Punch/Pakistan Punch) Oct16- Oct31, 2025

Oct24-2025--reluctant federal cabinet approves banning of TLP...opposing politicians have been unable to get along with theTLP which has been gaining influence in many election constitutencies as other religious groups start to lose out...many other religious groups followers were openly supporting the PTI...

 Oct24-2025--IHC asks the superintendent , adiala to restore two weekly meetings for  PTI...punjab govt asks for restoration of jail manual..while jail superintendant says meetings not allowed when lists not sent by salman akram raja...salman akram raja also accused of not stopping speeches at jail gate...the childish sohail afridi reached the jail immediately but sat on the ground outside as meetings not allowed...aleema khan and salman akram raja are trouble makers...court also allows political nonsense in PTI's jail meetings...

the beautiful jail at adiala... with a new wall

 Oct23-2025--Pakistan t20 and odi squads...t20 squad includes complete failures saim ayub, salman agha, usman khan while relatively success fakhar zaman put in reserves...wasim jnr and salman mirza not even used...!...usman tariq, baber azam, naseem shah, and abdul samad recalled...usman tarik who stops at the wicket can be called a surprise callup alongwith usman khan...rumours have it that naseem shah had alleged that the captain had asked for money tobe kept in the team...mohd rizwan always a good t20 player but present politics keeps him out...hussain talat who saved one match and failed in three dropped alongwith the sifraishi big hitter mohd haris and hasan ali...mohd naeem should have been called up instead of saim ayub...there are enough alalu talalu spinners...he should concentrate on batting for a decent score...

Oct23-2025--Pink van women police station inaugurated for women in Rawalpindi to file FIR's and get driving/arms licenses...

Oct23-2025--The CB should only ask for comments on the matter at hand rather than listen to inane views why  four PTI mna's voted onit...it is the CB job whatever their status...even the CJP was appointed under the 26th...it wont matter even if it is overturned as status quo/ante will be maintained/restored...the court will just have to go back to how it worked before...there is no restriction on  judgements in the 26th and only appointment matters have been changed...the CJP will have tobe replaced by the senior most judge who is pretty crazy as it is...the government will only have to redo the amendment...anyway the court technically should only ask for specific things tobe changed or specify what things in previous law hindered making the 26th...the objections seem minor...the only major change is making the CB, and changing how judges/CJP are selected/appointed...the court could restrict the oversight of judges by the JCP...!

Oct23-2025--PPP behaves like a enemy towards punjab and the PMLn ..they have a deep rooted animosity towards the PMLn and sharifs and expect them to behave like an ally...Bilawal if he wants can distribute Rs100 billion of sindh govt money amongst the flood affected thru BISP which is a penny ante distributor of federal government money of charity/dole... Bisp only has a records of about 3% of the poorest people...however the only think that comes from them is a inane stream of irrelevant criticism...if their security guards have been withdrawn they should go to talk with the local SHO...they live in Sindh and critisize Punjab...why should an empty building be guarded anyway...now they dont like the new LG laws and want to know who will buy the wheat in the center...the federal govt can restart Pasco in  a matter of minutes...the people dont want expensive wheat...should PMLn come and ask to sit with you in Sindh and question your working which u rule as a fiefdom...they also want to know how so many people were rescued with so few boats...allah ka karam he...this does not depend on the PPP's loot and ghasoot and truck mafias......the PMLn was in the field not sitting in their drawings rooms like the PPP's bhuttos and their defeated elements

 Oct22-2025--Apparently the TLP had 3800 financiers whose accounts have been frozen...123 mosques taken over and 23 seminaries geotagged and some taken over...100 bank accounts of TLP identified..JUIf threatens to overrun capital..azma bokharis say that they started dead bodies propaganda similar to the PTI/that the grave of their founder had been shifted and said that no mosque was being demolished...center seemingly reluctant to ban TLP which has political influence all across the country

Oct22-2025--Punjab announces that alost Rs100 billion required for flood releif...Bank of punjab to open window for Rs50000 instant withdrawals against flood relief 

Oct22-2025--anti government judges who have been making political statements resent new strict code of conduct which prevents their dubious politics...they forget that previously the JCP had even more powers 

Oct21-2025--The shiite bosses appoint shaheen shah afridi as the one day captain...Mohd rizwan was an adequate captain with a relatively good record... one would have considered afridi as a  good appointment for captain inT20's for which he has experience...

Oct21-2025--Sohail afridi has almost the same set of complaints as earlier PTI regimes...police does not get latest equipment...in 13 years of PTI governance at least police equipment matters should have been addressed…bulletproof vehicles(ex Un vehicles) given by mohsen naqvi to police are old…federal government policies on terrorism causes terrorism...terrorism results from TTP attacks mostly after they ended their own ceasefire in 2022...!federal government does not share terrorism resources...federal government says they have given them over 550 billion and bullet proof vehicles are the same as they have...anyway he can get the bullet proofing updated...there are a few firms that do that work......if they think there are problems in handling terrorism why do they not take their own measures to stop terrorism... Gandapur had said that stopping terrorism is easy...it only steadily increased during his time...corruption is blamed on the PTI by its own system...as for monetary resources, the KP government gets quite a lot...if they have a paucity of resources they should impose more taxes...police since they dont have to handle political work should be free to handle opponents in beaurocracy(election officials) and the only other work left is traffic policing and controlling terrorism...most anti terrorism work is done by the army and everyone is free to call on paramilitary head , local corp commander and army chief...the interior minister only handles some administrative matters, protests and intelligence matters...leg work, ordering work in CDA and running around checking is his responsibility...if the police are not performing adequately replace their chiefs...usually in Punjab CTD handles terrorist activity and Punjab police have a lot of independence to perform

Oct20-2025--Federal government announces wheat policy...there will be no restrictions on wheat movement which were protested by KP and Sindh...provinces and center can buy up to 6.2 million tonnes as a strategic reserve... The price will be Rs.3500 per 40kg according to international markets...

Oct20-2025-- after 13 hours of talks in Doha, Pakistan and Afghanistan agreed to a permanent ceasefire, respect for sovereignty, a permanent mechanism to discuss violations and to meet again on Oct25...according to the agreement both sides will not attack each other's forces and infrastructure and will not support groups attacking the government of Pakistan…there were some problems with the use of the word border tensions which was replaced by tensions between both countries... Pakistan has faced a wave of increasing terrorism after the TTP ended a ceasefire in late 2022...in the last two days, at least two suicide bomb laden vehicles ...a rickshaw and non-custom paid car were intercepted and defused...

Pak- Afghan talks were mediated by Qatar and Türkiye...
 

Oct19-2025-- SJC revises code of conduct for judges...they will now not be allowed to speak, write, debate or comment on controversial matters and on political questions even when questions of law arise...judges are not to interact with the media especially on issues liable to spark public debate or undermine institutional collegiality and discipline. When allegations are made public against a judge, they maybe placed in writing before a committee of the CJP and four supreme court judges for a response. Judges may not discuss administrative matters or reveal communications relating to personal or official matters. They are also prohibited from presiding over and attending social, cultural and diplomatic or political functions. Soliciting of conference or meeting invitations from foreign or international bodies is now a misconduct...such meetings received personally must be routed through the relevant CJ....judges should also decide cases on merit alone and possess the moral integrity and intellectual capacity to resist internal or external influence or when legal powers are lacking seek an immediate institutional response. Any attempt should immediately be reported to the five judges committee and relevant CJ...CJ's are to send reports before a three judge committee within two days...cases are to be decided as early as possible and adhere to fair trial and due process...if a CJ or committee fails to act in time the five judge CJP committee to take up the issue....!

Oct19-2025--Police intercepted an explosive laden rickshaw in Bannu killing three terrorists, foiling an attack on a police post...another rocket and gun attack on azam Warsaw police station foiled

Oct18-2025--Government says Pakistan got just $600 million aid in 2022 floods while losses estimated at $2.9 billion in 2025 floods

Oct18-2025--Kp cm does not attend federal meeting in which CM's were invited as Sohail afridi moved the IHC for a meeting with imran which they called legal and ethical while there is no constitutional provision for such meetings/talks as imran has no position related to KP in the party...such meetings are used to douse any opposition from local party position holders and the KP assembly  

Oct18-2025-- after a gun and bomb attack on Khaddi fort a military installation in Mir Ali / north Waziristan, Pakistan launched strikes on the hafiz gul bahadur hideouts in paktika...rebel casualties said to be 104 including key commanders...talks with Afghanistan to take place in Doha mediated by Qatar as truce period enhanced...although Pakistan said that truce not to effect anti terror/hideout retaliations 

Oct18-2025--eight militants killed in operation in sultankhel(lakki marwat) while TTP commander TAriq Kochi gunned down

 Oct17-2025--Baluchistan merges police and Levis (tribal paramilitary) in six of seven regions...only in Sibi which comprises Dera Bugti, Sibi, Kohlu, Ziarat, Harnai they have not been merged

Oct17-2025-- Sohail afridi not allowed to meet Imran as he waited outside the jail for two hours...a PTI committee, the CJP and probably the Punjab/jail authorities have inputs on this...the PM has greeted the new CM and hoped to worked together...apparently the PTI is not in an aggressive street protests mode now...while there are no reports of new Firs being recorded against him, he says that federal government and its agencies filing firs against him... Imran, who might be nearing the point where the courts release him on bail, still making efforts to get out of jail somehow...! The PTI seems to want imran to come out to meet them and then go back in as if jail is a home of some sort...afridi says he will set up an advisory council to include senior politicians and experts while a cabinet will be formed after consultation...

Oct17-2025--dust pollution from construction sites causing pollution problems in Lahore...with work being stopped, the government should ensure that dusty areas are hosed down or covered... The basic reason for smog is that earth becomes warmer and the atmosphere is colder and particles/smoke seem to rise into the atmosphere from dust as well as burning of agricultural waste and fog... Lahore is surrounded by rice growing areas which burn waste to quickly set the stage for winter sowing... This problem started way back in the 1970s when Lahore had morning haze lasting up to around midday...supposedly a smog machine has been imported while mulching is being advised instead of burning and mixing with the fields for which machines are also available

Oct17-2025--The M-5 which had been washed away at several places by Sutlej floods in Jalalpur Pirwala, Lodhran and Uch Sharif on Sept17 has been restored after a month with diversions to avoid areas still being restored…a four-kilometre stretch had been severely damaged causing a 14 km section to be closed down...

Oct17-2025--Punjab asks federal government to ban TLP and has imposed sect 144 across the province up to Saturday...seven seminaries in Vehari have been sealed and TLP mosques are being taken over and handed to the Auqaf dept... generally restricting protests and demos and other measures to takeover unlicensed arms and arresting people attacking police…accounts of TLP to be frozen and Friday protests to be scuttled...seven mosques and TLP seminary handed over by police to auqaf dept. ...


Generally the harsh measures are against the TLP but could be applied to anyone trying to bring out rallies or enforce strikes or protests...social media accounts of TLP are to be closed or suspended…guns and Kalashnikov's can be found in almost all/most homes and nobody really can do a province wide clean-up...afghans to be brought into the tax net... combing operation against illegal residents who are to be checked or enumerated...!

Oct16-2025-- numerous infiltrators (30-45) killed in mohmand operation as afghans try to force their way into mohmand...operation carried out in Pakistani territory

Oct16-2025--Punjab looks to ban/neutralize TLP…outfit involved in 25 attacks on places of worship. More than 2700 in custody as 72 cases filed…first and second tier leaders in custody

Oct16-2025--CB judges on 26th amendment try to create a bigger court or full court...are eight judges not enough, which is the full court as far as the CB is concerned...it seems to be an attempt to bring in maverick anti-government/anti-26th judges like Shah...as far as the laws are concerned the JIC or CJP would have to be involved even though there is no judicial requirement for more judges on the issue...it is not as if these judges don't know who is authorised to create legislation and things like a few opposition legislators supporting the amendment hardly makes any difference...technically the full court would have to include the CJP and would he work as a junior to the CB chief...

Oct16-2025-- Imran offers to mediate Afghanistan conflict if released on parole…(more credible mediators available) many in the PTI had been joking that the afghans would be sitting in Peshawar in a few days...while some suggested that sohail afridi should have flown to Kabul to straighten out his kabuli relatives...sohail afridi apparently on his way to adiala jail saying he had never met imran in jail…PHC gives him a few days of protective bail and asks him to present if there are any FIRS against him on the 18th...(apparently he has firs related to anti narcotics)? I doubt anyone in KP can arrest a CM... Gandapur probably had cases everywhere, but no one arrested him either...34 militants killed in KP military operations...


Above, smoke rises from a supposed Pakistani airstrike in Kabul...airstrikes also claimed in Kandahar…also above typical photos of military men who carry out operations...

Oct16-2025--nine new police stations in outskirts of Islamabad while many police stations being redesigned ...preparations under way to run EV buses in Rawalpindi... Islamabad already has EV buses

How it all started...coups and politics and islam and democracy...

How it all started...coups and politics and islam and democracy...
how bhuttos got into politics in 1958...

debacle in Dacca

debacle in Dacca
total humiliation...India had steadily destabilized east pakistan over twenty years playing on ethnic, financial, development and military concerns...pakistan was not that rich at that time and the ethnicists played on phsychosis generated by cyclones, floods, tea and jute...the army and west pakistani politicians could not accept a bengali dominated government and a small army contingent could not defend against the mukti bahini and the indians as teh US withdrew its support as usual...When teh going gets tough teh US chickens out as usual...!! The indians have continued teh same themes in karachi, sindh and balochistan but similar tougher responses have not allowed their success although pakistan is now at best a divided land with a pathetic center...!!While it left pakistan numb at the time many now feel the seperation was a proper solution as east pakistanis did not get along with pakistan and they would be better able to solve their problems with india...others still pine away for the lost land of rivers, tea and jute...others suggest that india should handover kashmir in exchange...while some still want to repatriate those considered pakistanis and left stranded in bangladeshi camps...others however heave a sigh of relief as teh problems with the remaining provinces are generally insoluble.....and ethnic regionalism or provincialism mixed with economic and racial nonsense is not a pleasant mode of politics anyway...

allah be praised
