Jun29-2009--three killed in kurram clashesJun29-2009--akhter mengal continues isolationist attitude on baloch nationalism saying that they wont give up rights and rejecting any development...resources of nwfp and sindh have also been looted he says...resources are there to be used and will be under any circumstance...apart from ending state suppression it is mystifying what they can achieve..nwfp and and sindh have also looted teh country as a whole and can hardly be seperated from those that benefitted in teh punjab...whatever resources are there in teh punjab are also being used...Jun29-2009--Dawn claims that teh US is helping pakistan in stockpile stewardship of its nuclear arsenal...suggesting that all its support payments have gone towards nuclear development...pakistan while not having sophisticated computers has been known to use computer modelling much earlier and AQ Khan was of teh opinion that there was no need to test their warheads and even missiles...obviously pakistan has continuously worked on upgrading its warheads from teh original crude versions....AQ Khan apparently must have been a terrible salesman since nowhere apart from iran is there any centrifuge system and even the iranian system seems more russian in origin than pakistani...Jun29-2009--heat wave in the country as turbat shoots up to 49 and jhelum to 46.5Jun29-2009--As teh zardari attempt to steal canal water from punjab continued to raise hackles...the pakistan kissan mahaz blames the situation on indias baglihar for a 20000 cusec decline in flows in teh chenab...yusuf raza gilani says that shabaz sharif was involved in teh attempt to fool the punjab...why they simply did not allow IRSA to handle teh situation is unknown...the PKM says that only balochistan was being actually deprived of canal water by teh sindhi controlled government..many suggest that the sindhis should learn to work with other provinces rather than trying to implement their own provincial attitudes dictatorially...others state that punjab is almost becoming an afghanistan in sindhi controlled pakistan...with no power and control...?Jun29-2009--while teh people have no problems with a seraiki province since teh present setup is not of any great help to them either...nawaz sharif says that seraikis in government and the establishment are behind teh floatation of teh idea...many problems would have been solved if new provinces had been created in sindh, punjab, nwfp and balochistan...others would like a potohar, bahawalpur, south balochistan and hazara provinces too..ideas of a karachi province have faded since altaf started to champion sindh instead..of the rebellious mohajirsJun29-2009--several grenade attacks in gwadarJun29-2009--four militants shot dead in bajaur...Jun29-2009--sindh seems to have teh unfounded belief that the river sindh is only for their benefit and that new canals should only be built in sindh...sindh has been improving its agriculture at teh cost of other provinces say many as sindhi agricultural outputs have been constantly increasing...and that cannot obviously happen without adequate water...sindh is getting an almost equal share to punjab...sindh used to have literally no agriculture until punjabis built barrages and developed sindhs agriculture despite being constantly maligned..many say that if the kalabagh dam had been built in teh 1980's teh water problem would been better controlled with more electricity production too even if it was just a carryover dam...but sindh could not stand to think that more water would have tobe allocated to punjab...if appropriate canals had been built in punjab agricultural production could have been tripled...sindhis on one side blame that their resources are being looted by punjab and on teh other that they are not allowing coal tobe exploited so asto avoid paying them royalty...sindhis many say are teh biggest jokers in pakistan...Jun28-2009--33 dead in kurram clashesJun28-2009--air attacks target ammunition dumps, training centers and other militant facilities in south waziristan killing 16Jun28-2009--Fazlullah

Jun28-2009--The canal that zardari ordered closed teh panjand-taunsa link canal is running at less than half its capacity...The tarbela dam and its links canals were built to overcome shortages of water from india...people in teh rural areas of rahimyar khan, bahawalpur and DG khan that are fed by teh canals are taking teh zardari actions as a personal insult...Jun28-2009--pakistan tells india to fight its own terror wars as does pakistan..india itself allows all sorts of religious terrorist organizations...teh way india behaves unrealistically it is a threat to pakistan...indian army chief should not interfere in pakistani matters...if india cannot protect its territory than it should give up its sovreignity...Jun27-2009--In what many see as the evidence of indian control on the TTP..two soldiers were killed in a suicide bombing in AJK at an army barracks in muzaffarabad Jun27-2009--five killed in karachi shootout betwen police and residents of a house of bank robbers or baitullah followers that they raidedJun27-2009--government goes back to 1991 IRSA accord on water distribution...two further accords were made in 1994 and 1998...while punjabs water share has been cut Gilani falsely claimed that teh shortage was over...?Jun27-2009--MQM now wants federal government to solve karachis electricity problem..gilani deflected the issue to teh power minister who refused to be involved..Pepco giving karachi 740 MW this year compared to 560 MW last year despite increasing shortages inits own areas...The MQM's whining for just karachi has everybody disinterested or disgusted...they should share in teh sufferings too many sayJun27-2009--two killed in karachi firecrackers blastJun27-2009--school blown up in peshawar and hand grenade thrown at police
