Sep21-2009--In another about turn teh ppp regime refuses to allow hafiz saeed to lead eid prayers at the qaddafi ground and puts him under arrest..this after teh indian ambassador said that they would accept just questioning of hafiz saeed in private...the indians have provided little or no evidence and teh pakistanis must at least be allowed to question ajmal kasab on teh issue as the reluctance on teh indian side to allow contact with the sole witness...things cannot work on the isolationist indian strategy..many suggest that teh pakistanis weakness will eventually lead to a kashmiri led liberation movement which would probably be something like the taleban movement inside pakistan...many suggest that since teh indians have little to gain in negotiations they will use every trick to avoid talks on real issues...the bombay attack scenario has provided teh indians with a good avoidance strategySep20-2009--several areas in nwfp announce eid on saturday based on generally erroneous shahadats..provincial government attempts to take control of provincial moon sighting committees...areas like mansehra, chitral, abbottabad and swat refuse to accept provincial controls on eid day promulgation...

alqaeda the US sees them as successes despite their involvement against mostly islamic countries and not linked to al qaeda which was becoming a force against teh west...al qaeda as a real force is almost finishedSep20-2009--Turkistan Bhittani surrenders...Sep20-2009--questions are being asked at teh higher rates being given to IPP's and RPP's which are more than two times teh cost of generation by government owned companies...with demand expected to increase teh government should provide funds to government companies to setup power generation plants...government owned power companies can setup power plants not only at a lesser cost but also power production will be cheaper...teh private sector only motivated by teh cheap motivation of higher profits have failed to compete in the real sense...rental power projects are just a mode to increase rates for the private sector which obviously generates higher corruption...Sep19-2009--In what many say is the PPP regimes offensive nature viz the people the government went in appeal against a LHC decision to reduce sugar prices...many suggest that teh judiciary is much more independent than teh rich men controlled PPP regime and more concerned at teh plight of teh people caused by the mean decisions of teh people antagonist PPP...The PPP has dropped all pretensions of being a peoples party...Sep19-2009--The LJ Al almi a new LJ faction claims responsibility for a suicide bombing on the kohat -hangu road that killed 33 and blew up over 100 shops and numerous vehicles......it could be a sectarian natured blast although police say that teh bomber probably came from teh orakzai area teh home of the new taleban chief...Sep19-2009--district nazim hangu killed in a mosque blast..blast in katcha pakka area kills one while

bara areaSep19-2009--banks to buy another 85 billion in power sector TFC's showing a very low demand for money..while teh economic situation has supposedly improved with over $14 billion in reserves...increasing remmittances..government still complains of revenue shortfalls despite 2.25 trillion in expected revenues...however PTCL landlines have fallen to around 3 million from over four million and a liberal NFC expected to further strain revenue sharing...high cost of electricity and food prices straining the limits of public tolerance...despite hoping /asking for loans and grants Zardari publically asks for trade which cannot help much even if it doubles...Sep18-2009--BHC says the countries security system must cooperate in turbat killings of baloch leadersSep18-2009--concerns

a parliamentary debate on teh issue as the PPP follows a policy of doing nothing...Sep17-2009--US army has a confused attitude towards pakistans defence...it has little todo with afghanistans internal situation which has always been troublesome..pakistans main defence problem has always been india and that has not changed..fighting internal terrorists has emerged as a challenge over teh last decade but that too is nothing new as teh pakistan army has been involved in similar operations in various provinces...If teh US had provided pakistan with strategic defence material to emerge as a regional tough boss than many problems would have been solved...however a confused policy in afghanistan and lack of complete cooperation with pakistan still seem tobe teh issues..if teh US withdraws from afghanistan its internals might change but it would not effect pakistan to any great extent and might even reduce its internal problemsSep17-2009--Gilani mixes up musharafs army coup with political, army and judicial conspirators...article 6 would solve teh issue if the PPP had the guts to bring musharaf to trial for all his various offences...Sep17-2009--Even milk is cheaper than pakistan in europe...rice can be bought for Rs17 per kilo in india...governments statements about prices in teh region and the world are meant to subjugate teh people...in europe food prices are controlled thru government interventions...teh governments price hike policies are just meant to enrich supporters and create teh same rich poor divide of previous times...teh PPP regime has literally killed all peopel interest inits governance by supporting special interest groupsSep17-2009--Asif zardari still seems confused about punjab politics... while selection procedures were probably what defeated earlier PPP leaderships...Zardari thinks that his selection process will automatically generate support in teh next elections which seems doubtful given his financial and development policies...especially viz teh punjab..Sep17-2009--american embassy security contractor arrested in islamabad for links with anti state elementsSep17-2009--terrorism charges dropped against lal masjid
