The Daily PakistanPolitics-June25, 2009
Jun25-2009--In what many see as a major scandal the PAF fired upto a 100 personnel for involvement with Dec 2003 attempt on musharaf...giving six death sentences...The airforce many say has a much greater conscience than the brute force army...teh involvement of so many can only be described as an ISI failure whose job it is to monitor armed forces personnel...Those removed say that they even removed those that voted no in teh dubious musharaf referendumJun25-2009--Indians lack of consistency was apparent in a request for leniency for sarabjit an indian terrorist whose review was rejected by teh SCJun25-2009--two killed in Tank as baitullah and zainuddin groups fight it out... Jun25-2009--upto eighty were killed in the drone attack on Bekh Mary Langara with several commanders killed while baitullah escaped moments before the attack which suggests that someone amongst teh top leadership of teh taleban might be an informantJun25-2009--In a move which shows teh extremely sindhi nature of teh current regime a water distribution meeting(actually the job of IRSA) was held at bilawal house without any real punjab participation which apparently restricted water to teh punjab...most water accords apart from teh first one have been caused by sindh complaints of doing this and that...Tarbela in teh seventies used to fill up by Jun15 and the excessive withdrawals for sindh many say are teh cause of water problems and reduced electricity generation which is more important than agricultural produce...if the zardari regime wants to make a change for teh better than they should allow tarbela to fill early...Jun25-2009--and in karachi...a policeman posted in islamabad shot dead in ...five suspected militants arrested after firefight...two mqm-h men shot dead ..two watchmen from dera bugti on a motorbike killed by another motor cyclist..prayer leader disapearance causes court concernJun25-2009--shabaz sharif tobe praised for ending teh extortionist nature of exam fees being charged by education boards in punjab to teh tune of almost a billion...federal government should also end its extortionist nature and end teh petroleum levy and sales taxes on electricity...Jun25-2009--17 killed in Kurram clashesJun25-2009--three policemen die in mortar attack on peshawars arbab tapo police checpostJun25-2009--swat almost clear says army as seven militants are killed in swat and dirJun25-2009--two killed in quetta by motorcycl killersJun25-2009--government to pay Rs24 billion to ease the debts of Hubco..kapco..people have to pay extortionist electricity bills as teh government pampers privatized entities..Jun25-2009--some jokers suggest that teh 1973 constitution which survives because nothing that replaces it will be successful either as everyone has their own views about teh constitution in various areas... many suggest that since all governments recent and past do/did whatever they wanted whatever teh laws and constitution..one prominent lawyer and people in teh army thought that coups were legal and that army chiefs had teh constitutional right to takeover or become president...the SC even allowed one coup plotter to rule for three years...others views change with teh situation they are personally in...a shampoo might not be enough for a bald head many say...their are too many amendments that make one think that precedents are better than a constitution..what difference does it make if teh president or teh prime minister has teh power to dismiss parliament since both are not answerable to the people...the parliament too should not have teh right to transgress its authority and approve things that were illegal under teh law such as coups and martial laws...many suggest a major change that secessionist, rebellious or anti country groups and parties be banned immediately...why allow the propagation of anti state politics...others also suggest taht the government be bound with teh overall good of teh people and not the policies of foriegn countries or institutions...many also suggest that teh constitution is so damaged that various groups use it for changing priorities and helping out their personal provinces for example what right has zardari to hold meetings in sindh when he never has held even one in punjab or nwfp......might be the primeminister and president should have four wives from four provinces as in canada...the primeminister also rushes off to his area and finds things in lahore not available to him in islamabad...although many doubts exist as to what they are...others suggest that it might be time for another constituent assembly as parliament is not really authorized to rewrite teh constitution...others suggest that teh SC be given teh right to overthrow bad constitutional changes...as far as financial distribution is concerned many donot accept teh sindh views as it has done quite well and wherever there are more people there are more cities and more problems so population should be the major divider for fiinances ..however whenever or wherever there is a need teh federal governments should provide funds or reappropriate as teh federal government does not develop on a population basis...technical help should be freely provided by all governments to each other and parliament can always be asked for special development resources...in effect if government does not function for the betterment of teh people nothing will matterJun25-2009---SC gives a correct decision at last..G-6 quarter squatters tobe evicted...turn it into a park many say...zardari regime looking for free expensive places to give to its near and dear ones in islamabad...dont clutter islamabad many say...the supposed zardari owned lakeview motel to become a sheraton and be given possession of teh islamabad golf course or new adjacent land from teh shakarparian green forest......such things can only achieved by teh high or mighty or bahria..or a CDA chief..?
