The Daily Pakistan Politics (aka Pakistan Punch/Political Punch) Jul16-Jul31, 2025

Jul30-2025--Imran sons have said that Imran is living in poor conditions and has to bathe in muddy water...and that his condition is getting worse...his cell apparently does not get electricity and he is allowed only two hours of light...according to his party Imran is perfectly healthy and gets food specifically cooked for him apart from nuts and fruit...he also shares his books with the jail superintendent...he supposedly has a tv and gets a newspaper... adiala is one of the newest prisons and has standard b class cells...he meets lawyers and family for two days and obviously there is light otherwise he would not be able to read his lawyers reports...etc. Shifting him to a multiple prisoner cell would be dubious and could create other problems...the children seem quite misinformed as he did not win the election...The defence minister says that they are allowed to visit Pakistan and i suppose they would only be arrested if the PTI went for violent protests...one day the pti said that Imran did not want them to visit...the next day it was rubbished by the secretary general...i suppose the PTI wants a heir tobe ready if the aging Imran is jailed permanently for a long duration...PTI generally lies about everything...!

Jul30-2025--thousands leave flooded villages in Taunsa and Layyah and DG khan...from overflowing rivers. People say that the river changed direction and flooded over 100acres of agricultural land after the construction of the Taunsa-Layyah bridge...rivers in medium floods and main dams have empty space to fill...

Jul30-2025--Curfew in Bajaur amid a operation for the second day...

Jul30-2025--a set of Imran petitions challenging the denial of bail by the LHC in May9 cases put off for two weeks...with the judges probably irked by the defence lawyer not appearing...while Imran was in jail but he apparently still had a mobile...anyway he had said that his workers would attack if he was arrested just as he said that his workers would gherao those who left the party...when those who had left hid in the Sindh house the workers broke down the gate...It seems that Imran communicated openly and gave seemingly terrorist orders from inside the jail... 

Jul30-2025--ECP disqualifies a Chitrali mna who participated in a May9 armed attack on a islamabad police station...three others were also disqualified a day earlier including a senator and the opposition leader in the Punjab assembly...appeal process is open says ECP...!

Jul30-2025--The sugar crisis seemed to have reached the PTI controlled PAC... they seemed unable to understand why there were no lists of owners...sugar mills are owned by all sorts of politicians and ex politicians. Even some PTI walas such as Pervaiz Elahi and former Punjab finance ministers of the PTI...Faisal Saleh Hayat...the Pepsi Akhter khans. There is also probably a Fauji or askari sugar... There is no point in knowing who the owners are...Nawaz Sharifs three sugar factories are lying closed...obviously the high rate of electricity makes the government a passive beneficiary...before they used to say that each mill makes Rs200million now it is probably much more. With the ex-mill price at Rs165 and dealers' price at Rs173... most of the beneficiaries are also ordinary kiryana sellers of the PTI variety who say they cannot sell at less than Rs198...so is the PTI going to terrorize the kiryana shopkeepers too...! so, unless u can solve the issue it is just political gerry mandering...55 mills divying up Rs298 billion which comes to approx. Rs 5.4 billion per mill...so with Zardari's eight mills and Tareens six mills u know who benefits...the most...if 42 families own sugar mills than it is quite a wide range of ownership. Imran apparently used to get 2 million from one baron annually...!

Jul29-2025--chaos in Punjab assembly as PTI mpa slaps treasury mpa...there were heated exchanges and quarrels...PTI leader Ahmed khan bhachar arrested after being convicted in may9 cases...pti mpa's walked out and protested in the compound...later PTI's two mpa's were suspended for 15 sittings and two unknowns harassed the pti mpa's outside...

Jul29-2025--floods submerge wide areas as rivers overflow in Punjab's south...Babusar road opened as search for missing tourists continues...

Jul29-2025--gunships pounded terrorist outposts in Hangu, Kohat, Orakzai and border areas of lower Kurram...mastermind of Chinese engineer's attack gunned down in Karachi's manghopir with two others...

Juk28-2025--aid finally arrives in starvation haunted Gaza...2.2 million Palestinians reaching starvation point...six die due to starvation...


Jul28-2025--seven people killed amongst protestors at the brigade hq's in Tirah who were protesting the death of a young girl...while the pm accused the Khawarij others said soldiers opened fire as the situation turned violent...tribesmen want Taliban to leave area while the PTI wants military to...

Jul28-2025--1000kg of donkey meat along with 60 donkeys confiscated from Tarnol. a foreigner also arrested...donkey hides are said tobe exported to China and now also donkey meat...other option is that donkey meat meant for local foreigners...

Jul27-2025--five militants killed in KP operations

Jul27-2025--GB seeks aid for flood rehabilitation...seven districts affected...diamer and babusar worst affected...villagers flee Rajanpur, Bhakkar, Layyah, Muzaffargarh as low lying areas flooded

Jul26-2025--Pakistan quickly announces squads for the west indies cricket tour...It does seem that whoever the selectors are they are blind to those who are failure prone...Hussain Talat and Khushdil shah seem to get the most favors...the galling thing is that the two new fast bowlers who were successful were dropped...other failures such as Mohammed Haris who dropped four catches and was seemingly unable to see the ball while batting still remained in favor...! Salman agha also seemed tobe a out of sorts failure earlier being outshined by Fakhre zaman as a captain...Shaheen shah made a comeback of sorts into the t20 squad and Baber Azam and mohd Rizwan made it back into the odi squad...Salman agha also survived as t20 captain...Naseem Shah also struggled into the odi squad. Saim too was a failure but still in both squads... Hasan Nawaz got into both squads while the best opener Sahibzada Farhan did not make it into the odi squad. Saim unable to understand that there is no point in aerial shots into the same positional fielders' hands...a thing he has done in several matches and twice in Bangladesh...! The players only success seemed to be in politics... To cover their failures...Abrar who was said to have minimum batting talents still remained in the odi and t20 squads

Jul24-2025--with over 24000 boat migrants arriving in England this year the UK government announced sanctions against known people smugglers/smuggling gangs from all over including a Chinese boat making company which advertised migrant boats...

Jul24-2025--thousands stranded after landslides block KKH...Nullahs all over Pakistan were flooding. In Lahore it looked like Venice allover...with the mall flooded at Beadon road and surrounding areas and around twenty to thirty other areas...almost all Punjab areas were receiving heavy rainfall barring a few in the south...136 dead in just Punjab and the rest mostly in the northern areas...cloudbursts are being blamed in many areas...another five dead in KP

Jul24-2025--the sugar crisis continued...with government blaming sugar mills and dealers. Kiryana merchants refused to sell at a loss...earlier they say a hefty 7.5 million tons sugar was exported...now imports are being attempted but sugar won't get here before September with traders refusing to bid. This scenario repeats every few years...Government will have to allow higher rates and people should just stop using sugar if they can't afford it... just like electricity and gas and food and mutton and beef...there are around 80 sugar mills which depend on sugar cane...crushing season is around the end of the year...

Jul24-2025--Imran's relatively old children have gone to the USA after a long line of senior pti walas including a former president and Imran associates like Gill and Zulfi failed in getting an anti-Pakistan animosity drive from Donald Trump...Zulfi and Gill left Pakistan after a anti army campaign...Zulfi had also been run out of England...the release Imran campaign failed in Pakistan after lies spread by the gandapur camp about Nov26 and even senior leaders who went as far as saying that Imran likes sodomy and they had seen him with a cut on his face...! Gandapur many say is attempting to be the replacement founder long with Imran's dubious (strange makeup) sister who insists to being a Punjabi of a Puktun brother from Paktika. Everything with gandapur ends with bani Ke orders hen...! the police, jail staff and special court judges are really angels compared to the rowdy trouble making arsonists of the PTI...

Jul23-2025-- the first three box-tired tram being assembled in Lahore which will carry 250 passengers up and down the canal...apparently it has been gifted without charge...!


Jul23-2025--In what seems tobe a complete farce Pakistan lost the second t20 against Bangladesh after the last three wickets had brought them close to winning after another top order batting collapse...the slightly silly looking new coach Hesson raised his hand in a stop sign and low and behold the last two wickets fell...!

Jul23-2025--India planning nuclear missiles that can attack the USA and also bunker busting bombs...Modi had all praise for the style of the US/Israel attacks on Iran and wished he could do the same against Pakistan...! Pakistan should realize that talks are a conduit for failure/the failed and prepare for the next war...! here the pathetic anti people PM is seen saying he is ready for talks...for god's sake she can't arrange talks for u... ask her for free visas to the UK...rumors about the exit of Nawaz sharif spreading...

the British ambassador Jane Mariott looks skeptically at Shabaz insisting on talks with the reluctant indians and PTI...Modi says he taught Pakistan a lesson while Pakistan says they defeated Modi and his fighter jets...India now arming its aircaft carriers with Rafales too. However, Migs 21/22 have been grounded and india will start replacing them with Tejas which have israeli technology. India also looking to purchase F-35's and make SU 57's locally...!

Jul23-2025--four terrorists killed in Kalat

Jul23-2025--deaths in the present rainy spell rose to 234...many were swept away including four in islamabad where a raging nullah saw at least two cars swept into it while a car was swept into the Soan..there were many problem's in the northern areas as long lines of cars were blocked due to landslides...many Kp rich seem to spend this time in Gilgit, Hunza and Skardu...many tourist vehicles were swept away while people were stranded in remote places due to blocked roads and the army spent all day ferrying them to safety...In Punjab it was raining almost everywhere in the north and Azad Kashmir as rivers and dams' levels rose...rainy areas have spread this year

Jul23-2025--two anti-terrorism courts in Lahore and Sargodha announced their decisions handing out ten-year sentences on May9 Pti arson/violence/disturbances to many PTI leaders involved in the may9 violence...Shah Mahmud Qureshi let off amongst six others...the court said with some dubiousness that Shah Mahmood claimed he was in karachi that day...being the number two in the PTI most thought that he was the handler behind decision making to attack military infrastructure...Imran had earlier said that attacks were planned for his arrest by the party...there was even a news story that Yasmin Rasheed had ordered workers to attack the Corp commanders' office cum residence...Pti calls the courts tools of the establishment which is a clear contempt of court. PTI unable to prove that these are military decisions and have never got anywhere in wanting talks with militaries top brass...

Jul23-2025--In another upset the deputy speaker of the Punjab assembly reinstated the suspended PTI members...many surmise that the chief minister is going soft and she should replace the speaker for backing down against consistent rowdyism a normal PTI trait...

Jul17-2025--three terrorists killed during joint operations in Bannu by police

Jul17-2025--extensive rains in Punjab areas of Rawalpindi, Chakwal and jhelum...possibility of Mangla filling up although inflows are low.

 Jul17-2025--There is some confusion about the newly formed federal constabulary...inits existing role it carries out military operations, police like duties and provides security in various situations like Muharram, floods, emergencies and polio campaigns...while most of its soldiers and officers are seconded from the military there seems tobe separate hiring and training as well...the government says it will now be deployed all over Pakistan and get remunerations like the armed forces...it is divided into platoons, companies and  wings...at the moment it has 41 wings. The federal government will bear all costs from now on...some suggest that problems with PTI demos and unnecessary activism might come under their purview too...! some say 13 wings tobe stationed in islamabad

Jul17-2025--government seems unable to control sugar prices which are reaching Rs.200...government has notified a exmill price of Rs165 which makes a retail price of around Rs.189...government also allowed an import of 50000 tons...and wants a retail price of Rs.175

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...
