Apri13-2024--an army official kidnapped police personnel raiding his home in bahawalnagar...police later freed the policemen and arrested the implicated in kidnapping after thrashing them...later 60 army officials raided a police station and beat up four cops...the situation had police officials and the army in a state of conflict...
April13-2024--Justice Yahya afridi recuses himself from six man panel hearing six judges complaint...while the SJC to whom the judges wrote is the real forum to understand why judges who have all powers complain of interference and donot deal with it...Yahya afridi says it is the weakness of the judges and CJP...while other judges say it is usually political cases that incite supposed interference ...intelligence agencies and security organisations are supposed to assist the courts for fair trials...in political cases the judges can side with whichever side they supposedly mentally are associated with...lawyers , judges and security organisations technically support all sides in the political spectrum...
April13-2024--in an incident of ethnic animosity 9 passengers from punjab were off loaded and killed near Noshki...the punjabis from as far north as mandi bahauddin were probably on a jaunt to cross over to europe or iran...workers fron the south of punjab also have suffered the same fate before...

April10-2024--The dubious PCB tries to fool the people...mohsen naqvi and a five man rubber stamp selection committee...Bilal afzal the statistic guy said that we have two guys who have shown no real performance in the PSL or recent worldcups...the scores of irfan khan in the PSL are 39, 35, 16, 4, 23, 15, 27, 12...batsmen who scored over 300 were not considered while the one who scored 171 was...!...sifarishi team at best...saim ayub, baber azam, azam khan, mohd usman, mohd iftikhar, fakhar zaman, mohd rizwan, irfan khan, naseem shah, shaheen afridi, abbas afridi, zaman khan, mohd amir, shadab khan, imad waseem, abrar ahmed, ossama mir..the team will have to carry fakhar zaman, irfan khan, while other doubtful selectees are azam khan, imad wasim and mohd amir...mohd ali's performance in the PSL outshone others...while they can probably outplay newzealand but they are not a world class outfit...Azam khan also has only one 75 in his last ten outings...others are below30...30, 22, 18, 0, 9, 29, 29, 0, --, 75,1..behind the stumps he has 6c/1s...Imad wasim has one 59 in the last ten and all other are poor scores...mohd usman could standup to the NZ although he is 28...Fakhre zaman 33, baber azam 29...iftikhar 33, azam khan 25, mohd rizwan 31..mohd ali took more wickets than mohd amir although amir is more economical...imad wasim is 35...

April7-2024--people have been impoverished...estimates of eid spending...!
April7-2024--two killed in khuzdar roadside explosion...
April7-2024--The pakistani government now wants to play act that they were doing something for chinese security...The pakistanis are always more efficient afterwards...the long route from islamabad to dasu dam is a case in point...by now they should have had an airport ready to avoid road side problems...and at least told the chinese to stay in secure areas...now they say they did not have bomb proof vehicles ready..they should have used some that are in the transport pool or available with generals and politicians...several years down the same road they are now looking at a SOP for the chinese...!apparently the chinese were used to travelling in coasters and at Laho Nala near Bisham a Vitz rammed into them...a vitz would probably not be recognized normally as a threatening vehicle...all various security, military units, police systems involved seemed tobe working casually/individually and seemed to have no idea what is done when a threat could be generally imminent...
April7-2024--The cricket players might have benefited more with a standard cricketing coaching/gym than a visit to the militaries obstacle course type boot camp designed for initial military entrants...the players were seen hanging around , doing a shuffle, aimless groupies, and going around the obstacle course under no pressure or anything like even strengthening or training. last time at least they came out doing 30 pushups...but due to ramazan they seemed more like lounging around...Useless many think...they should at best have worked on thinking how to handle a mediocre new zealand A type outfit...Shaheen only thrashed them when he played three spinners...the new zealanders are used to playing good fast bowlers...in this team they have will o'rourke , ben sears, and adam milne...their batting might be weaker with tim robinson , finn allen, mark chapman, tim seifert...haris rauf they say is still injured...baber azam would do well to play three real spinners than the dubious spin alrounders who seem tobe slotted in...upto now baber azam has shown no knowledge of strategy, selection and players just play to their strengths and weaknesses... as they wish. Apparently he now has his supporters in the selection committee as coaches...too...standard coaches i think are much better than former players...i think these temp coaches wont even be able to get the players thru a set of toughening/warmup exersizes...or get injured players to regain their strengths...or exersize a players weaknesses...etc...eg. can they tell baber he usually gives catches to short midwicket or short long off areas and to keep the ball down when playing in those areas...Baber has apparently already planned to lose the T20 world cup since he does want tobe judged for it...!and to top it off he hit a ball to an experienced oldie alex hales thinking he will be slow and not upto it and huffed and puffed for a run...inevitably he was run out...saying afterwards i thought he would not be able to do it...!it is baber who is unable to judge his team players and will play them on supposed strengths rather then knowing that they are not in form or really donot have the techniques and abilities...
April7-2024--the letters are piling up but the culprit is still at large...the issue actually was threats to the pliable IHC judges who were being knocked around by the PTI lawyers...The powder sender has clearly blown up the issue...many think the IHC judges need to go back to the Judicial academy and restudy the issue...others think that the finding of cameras in a judges house might be fake...since nobody has heard of it nor a FIR filed...others think that judges maybe up for promotion and avoiding not being noticed...

April6-2024--cop escorting polio workers killed south waziristan
April5-2024--The letters to the judges were posted at the Rawalpindi GPO thru a letterbox but there are no camera's at the GPO...forensic tests suggest there are no anthrax strains but just carbohydrates with traces of arsenic...anthrax is toxic and causes severe allergic or infection like symptons while arsenic is a poison...the pictures on letters were skull and bones...as for the IHC judges many are of the considered opinion that they must really be very inexperienced and untrained in how to handle pressure and meddling and /or open threats even from lawyers...!Anthrax is used in biological/chemical weapons which were banned in 1975...anthrax can be eaten, inhaled and infused by touch causing various symptoms...there is a vaccine and treatment usually by three antibiotics...23% deaths could result..it usually spreads in animals...most reactions can occur in two months after exposure which are usually very dark skin sores apart from other symptoms...some comments suggest that GHQ is very near the GPO...while others suggest that the mean and nasty nature of the PTI could suggest their involvement as they are generally involved with judges all the time and have a anti intelligence/fauj attitude...crooked anti judiciary pukhtun lawyer sare another popular choice here...lawyers generally some say...!while others suggest sectarian and political involvements..a dok gujran post office also gets letters...latest letters dont have any powder...PM leaves for saudi arabia to pray for deliverance from the powder mafia/crooks...he supposedly now oversees security issues ...who handled security before is unknown...interior minister and army chief/CGS handle intelligence...powder such as carbohydrates or CaCo3 probably can be used in pharma firms possibly...
April4-2024--Bracewell named NZ captain for the Pakistan T20 tour...he is regarded as a good middle order allrounder and has some good players like Finn Allen, Adam Milne, Jimmy Neeham, Will O'Rourke, Tim Robinson, Ben Sears, Ish Sodhi and Tim Seifert in the team. Nine top NZ players are unavailable playing in the IPL...
April4-2024--The IHC CJ wants to revive 'X' as if he has a personal interest in it...X has been supposedly off since March 17 and the reason was supposedly that government officers were being harassed. a joint secretary of the interior ministry said that it was done on intelligence reports, but the judge refused to accept that and asked the secretary interior to appear...many regard it is an information channel for the Pti and they use it for undue criticism of government officials...X does not have any particular importance to individuals.
April4-2024--nine more judges have received powder letters including CJP and LHC CJ...again a Gulshan Khatoon and Sajad Hussain are said to be the senders. Police say post office stamps are smudged...
April4-2024--Justice Mansoor Ali Shah says that the court cannot burry its head in the sand like an ostrich in the face of complaints of meddling in judicial affairs...a system is need from a civil judge upto the SC...it seems that even SC judges have had have problems...even Justice Isa has been threatened with death...as well as tax and wealth issues...Imrans lawyers routinely threaten/pressurize senior judges especially the lawyer Hamid is being mentioned apart from Gohar ali khan who immediately called CJP to recuse...Justice Mansoor shah says the interference must end for ever which is only possible if the judge takes immediate and serious action against lawyers and intelligence agencies officials...
April3-2024--The case of 6 judges who are now blamed for causing all the problems for the people by the anthrax/powder sender have had the case postponed till April 29...!

April3-2024--4 letters were received by the LHC in lahore after 6 letters were received in IHC...the letters had a white powder possibly anthrax strains...the sender was listed as Resham khatun w/o Waqar Hussein, Tehreek Namoos Pakistan and it blamed the judges for the destruction/situation/responsible for problems faced by the people in the country and there was some threatening picture or sign....both high courts have filed FIR's in this regard..police can probably find the post office where the Rs30 stamp was stamped...could be send by pakistans chemical weapons directorate(aka ISI)
April2-2024--Justice retired Jillani recuses himself from the judges complaints commission as the SC takes suo motu notice of the matter and sets up a seven judge bench to hear the case on April3...the judge said as the SC has taken cognisance the commission is rendered needless......he says the judges have asked for a convention with the SC CJ /judges to consult on how judges can deal with intimidation,home monitoring and meddling and the SC CJ can detail how judges can deal with it...technically it is not a difficult process...the judges can easily set up an investigation into how someone from the executive or intelligence agencies interfered with them and sentence them for such acts...the matter of cameras might be more difficult to ascertain as there is not any evidence yet on who dunnit...In the US even telephone monitoring has to be approved by a court and such a mechanism can be created not for judges but mafiosi or if someone is planning a rebellion or a May9.. the judge says that while the SJC is not directly responsible for such advice the SC can adopt the advisory role itself...That leaves the government with the option of creating a law that forbids eavesdropping on judges and forcing their decisions in any way and detail things like sentencing..The SC CJ can seperately consult the judges and allow them to proceed against perpretrators...if the judges still feel threatened the SC CJ can have a full time investigator look into all the cases and describe punitive actions or a course of actions...
April1-2024--many are regarding it like an April fools joke...the dubious strategic move of making Baber Azam captain again...they suggest that it is to keep shaheen afridi and other fast bowlers fresh...Baber Azam had resigned after severe criticism of his captaincy and a seeming inability to succeed in critical situations in big tournaments...shan masood and shaheen shah afridi were given teams that were not the best in australia and new zealand...however shaheen failed miserably in the PSL9 to turn his team around and lost all but one match...while Baber was not successful either the selection committee did not have the courage to appoint Shadab who some regard as a troublemaker...now we have a captain who shirks responsibility for failure...he used to say it does not matter to him what people say and that his batting was the cause of the teams success...in a way that was true when Baber failed and also mohd Rizwan the team had problems...however the team is now much stronger and we expect them to perform better in the world T20...with all the fast bowlers available and new batsmen such as Saim and Mohd Usman and a dependable end game duo of iftikhar and Imad and better spinners also available they should entertain and try for victory by playing better rather than trying to slip in at the end...
