Aug22-2025--In a surprise reversal the ISPR chief has denied the Dawn News that the army chief has demanded a sincere apology for political reconciliation...maybe he wanted the indians to apologize sincerely...maybe the somersault by the CJP has caused this denial...however ISPR says that may9 is not only the militaries case but the nations and the perpetrators must be held accountable...apparently the field marshal made no political statement in Brussels or said anything about the PTi.. The PTi however says that now only one case of the dubious anti state Bani is left...
Aug22-2025--The CJP in a disputed and dubious decision allows prearrest bails to the may9 culprit Imran...the decision based on the unknown principle of consistency...all previous organizers of such riots or revolts against the state mainly military infrastructure were shot dead...i refer to heads of the Taliban and PPP's al Zulfikar and Murtaza Bhutto...no bail is given even to a supposedly terrorist coordinator woman leader in Baluchistan...!allegations of criminal conspiracy require scrutiny say the CJP...The frivolous or alleged mistreatment of Imran and Bushra in jail disregarded...apparently mistreatment is only allowing four books and disallowing newspapers and tv...pathetic...better treatment only given to Nawaz Sharif who was a a-class prisoner...he was allowed an air conditioner and meals from home...no information on how asif zardari was treated in jail...! Benazir and her kids used to go and meet him without problems...! Imran apparently approved/organized the riots at party level, and he had enough time after arrest to give the go ahead...there is also a newspaper statement in which he said that his workers would run riot...while local leaders ran the riots shah Mahmood Qureshi the supposed coordinator...

Aug20-2025--finally the rains came to karachi and karachi was literally flooded for a day with cars stranded and motorcycles wading round...the major disasters seemed tobe flooded underpasses however deaths still mounted to around ten...in various isolated incidents...the mayor said they could only handle 40mm of rain while it flash rained about 150mm...despite only a day of problems the mqm was crying the loudest as usual...saying the mayor had not cleaned the gutters and nullahs...karachi should follow Rawalpindi who make it a point to clean the nullah Leh...before the monsoons...
Aug20-2025--KP's woes were not over as a flash rain floods poured down from the tarbela moutains.24 dead...problems in gadoon amazai, Swabi, Topi… floods apparently also hit south waziristan, tank and Abbottabad (bridge destroyed) ...KP not organized for such widespread disasters and outside help is badly needed by them...landslides and washing away of bridges/roads major problems...90 roads destroyed of which nine repaired by paramilitary which are deployed all over the place...excavators being hired from wherever available...
Aug19-2025--more lives lost in KP floods...many go missing, in torrential downpours, landslides, flash floods...17 dead in Swabi and two in Nowshera...rains play havoc in Dalori and gadoon amazai...rainwater from india inundates Ravi and various villages...five more dead in AJK...flash floods in Kalar Kahar inundate Jhelum district town of Lillah sharif and kundwal village...road swept away......
Aug 18-2025--the Pakistani team for the next two tournaments in UAE has only difficult matches with India and Afghanistan...However, Hesson has not addressed key weaknesses like Salman agha's lack of performance and mohd Haris - thinks he is a joker with lack of performance and dropped catches behind the stumps...Rizwan still better than joker Haris even if Baber Azam is dubious...They are now saying that the two are no longer in contention foe even. Keeping a former failing captain Shan Maqsood in category D is even more shocking......Hesson is depending on the same old team plus Sahibzada Farhan and Salman mirza...he has not ironed out Saim's flaws...mohd Haris, Salman agha, Hussein Talat and Khushdil are dubious selections when you have three spinners who have recently done well...he has also added two fast bowlers Salman mirza and mohd Wasim as the three main frontliners are aging and cannot be relied upon... making a total of six fast bowlers...Hesson should realize that security is not in numbers but in brilliance and reliability...Hesson should also teach Salman agha to project a good body image...rather than be known as dilloo dalloo agha! if good and bad performance are the same than why drop Naseem shah or even Baber Azam...at least Naseem shah can vary and swing. He can move the ball...nobody has faced the wrath of selectors like Rizwan and Baber Azam whose t20 record is one of the best...Rizwan probably axed because of his partnership with Baber Azam
Aug17-2025--Has God given the Field marshal authority to protect this country (read that as government...!) Apparently, that is what he thinks and that he says is enough for him...in a column in Dawn it is projected that he said that in Brussels... that there will be no change in this government as it was being suggested that one of his proteges move out of the way for him tobe president plus possibly another military puppet Bilawal as prime minister...! he apparently has discussed the issue of why with the two in question...! he again said that political reconciliation is possible if there is a sincere apology (read that as him being a simpleton and lacking understanding of the terrorist stubborn nature of some politician.) He also warned Kabul of pushing the Taliban into Pakistan...here i would like to state what is rumored in Pakistan in another context...it is said that Imran on a tour to Russia went dancing (shown on TV) upto Putin and told him that he could invade Ukraine...! the same day Russia invaded Ukraine...! This is with reference to the complicated negotiations between Putin and Trump...in exchange for some region in Donetsk they want Zelensky to sign onto a freeze in the Ukraine war...apparently Zelensky will want security guarantees... obviously not from Russia...! his earlier deal for Crimea provided for German guarantees in 2014...it might be difficult for Zelensky to go along with the tones coming out of the Trump-Putin meeting...Trump cannot be trusted regarding to Putin as he seems tobe frightened of both Russia and Israel
Aug17-2025--the death and devastation has been severe in Buner, Swat and Shangla apart from AJk and northern areas...whole families have been wiped out and some areas see a lot of infrastructure like houses and roads destroyed...In swat the grid station is flooded, and electricity is out for two days apart from gas in some areas... blaming climate change and blaming the populace for such events is just a mere joke as most people were living their lives...the increase in rain intensity and targeting specific areas is new...otherwise a class eight geography book from the 1960's has this period from mid-June to mid-august or early September listed as the monsoon season...it is probably necessary to tell or order people not to venture out in rains and go to hill stations like Murree and Gilgit/Skardu and be scared and worried of what the rains will do...or live in dangerous areas...a people whose children regularly run around outside enjoying the rains...after the harsh summer...not much can be done apart from improving disaster services in specific areas and be wary...Gandapur says he wants weather radars...he has enough provincial wealth to install radars himself and should not depend on the federal government or the UN. Weather radars are also available on the internet. There is no way to tell God that enough is enough...please give us controllable rains and floods...and tell rich people that they don't have to drive around just because they have cars and destroy the environment...people should remain indoors in the rain and possible floods although that is not much protection when boulders rain down on you. The government should probably start warnings that people who are possibly going tobe affected move out of such areas......holidays and rainy days and money are just meant to be enjoyed is the norm...It also demonstrates the urban/riverine flooding in Punjab and the village nature of flooding of KP/GB/AJK...There are mass funerals/burials in Buner...In AJK people are harvesting floating logs from the Nauseri dam after flooding...it seems that NDMA alone can't handle things, and the army is required to-do things in such specific area disasters...

Aug16-2025--religious groups start rebuilding mosque that the interior ministry demolished because its corners cut into the islamabad portion of Murree Road...government should take back the Rs40 million seminary built in exchange...? government has agreed to rebuild the mosque...there used tobe two other mosques also in the area that have disappeared...!
