The Daily PakistanPolitics Nov 14-15, 2009

  • Nov15-2009--At peshawars pishtakhara checpoint a suicide bomber blewup killing 12..peshawars main entrances from the tribal areas need proper checking and car scanners...government should provide similar security steps that it has for islamabad...blocking entrances with walls as has been done in rawalpindi cantonment should also be considered...People too are not just fodder for teh governments and talebans policies or wars...they should at least try to get in touch with the taleban to see if teh war can be limited to direct conflict...
  • Nov15-2009--government offices major defaulters of electricity payments says Iesco including the senate and presidents secretariat...
  • Nov15-2009--The PMln, PMlq and MQM hold demos in gilgit baltistan accusing teh PPP of rigging...
  • Nov15-2009--15 militants killed in swat and malakand as seven are killed in south waziristan operations
  • Nov15-2009--Gen Petraus says that although they donot talk about drone atacks in pakistan they are conducted with host nation consent and suggests that US policies of incremental force now supported by everyone in pakistan
  • Nov15-2009--In what many see as an unconstitutional process Nwfp says that federal government has not delivered the Rs 10 billion of hydel profits...Yusuf Raza gilani who has not sought national assembly approval for the huge payment and neither is there any allocation in the budget...nwfp says that teh arbitration during the nawaz sharif era gave them Rs24 billion annually plus a 10% annual increase...they say that they should thus receive Rs157 billion this year...This seems a gross distortion of teh constitutional provision of payment of royalty on hydel generation ...how that has been converted to net hydel profit arrears is unclear...constitutionally wapda has to pay teh hydel royalty and they have been doing so under two earlier arbitrations... The PPP regime is walking down a slippery slope and getting national asembly approval for such dangerous decisions/steps is teh constitutional path...already nwfp is asking for 50 billion more than the 110 billion they agreed to over five years and they just donot seem to have their thinking clear on this issue...if they have to pay for mangla and ghazi barotha and bhasha than most of the budget will be spent on such matters and mangla was built in 1964...wapda has not been running the tarbela power station on a profit and loss basis and many related projects have been funded in teh area with another two generators planned...a comprehensive discussion and change in constitutional provisions would thus be needed for teh payment...Nwfp threatens to boycott teh PPP's next controversial NFC session...others suggest a suo moto inspection of the issue by teh SC as teh government is clearly going against teh constitution in the NFC award as well as teh hydel royalty issue...
  • Nov15-2009--12 militants killed in orakzai strikes
  • Nov15-2009--sugar barons guilty of forming a cartel says competition commission
  • Nov14-2009--In what is being seen as an attempt to humble pukhtuns and their provincial government the taleban continued their offensive against peshawar by blowing up an ISI building killing 11...The ferocity against peshawar is being seen in teh context of the south waziristan operation and probably teh blockage of taleban in the Fata area...another bomb blast in bannu blewup a police station killing seven...many now surmise that the plan to destabilize pakistan is teh same as followed by indians since the fifties against pakistan in any area that is vulnerable...that includes creating negative feelings about the ethnics, finances,army, politicians and police and unnerving the people into submission..especially making people feel that teh army and police are ineffective and teh politicians corrupt and frightened...with a weak ineffective federal government relyng on playing up to ethnic prejudices and provincial feelings the feelings of insecurity are heightened...teh pukhtuns and their other followers have to realize that guns, explosives, revenge, jirga judiciaries and cruel punishments solve nothing in teh long run...earlier the pukhtuns provided a false sense of security by functioning as area guards all over teh country in a security vacuum while the militants in Fata trained to move in and out by robbing cars from right under peopels noses and training on teh streets on how to fool people and make them blind to the dangers of theft, terror and dangerous individuals ...
  • Nov14-2009--CNG stations called off their strike as many felt the strike was a deliberate attempt to playup PPP's politics ..however many felt that it created less traffic congestion as some suggested a two day holiday for petrol as well
  • Nov14-2009--opposition alleges rigging in gilgit Baltistan elections as PMLn says that PPP wants to be in all governments and is unable to sit in the opposition a charge similar to the breakaway factions of the PML during military rules...PPP many say attempting tobe india like inits attitude even though they regard gilgit baltistan as a part or province of kashmir...some accused kaira of divide and rule tactics...by attempting a bander bant
  • Nov14-2009--the anti pakistan lobbies seem active again as china is charged with nuclear proliferation...many suggest that teh charge is true as many pakistani scientists were given nuclear training in china...even though many suggest that pakistan had achieved basic nuclear knowledge by the mid sixties and achieved theoretical capabilities by the late sixties...as the west intervened to stop practical conversion of knowledge the pakistanis roughed it out to achieve nuclear capabilities by the late eighties...obviously involvement of smuggling of scientists, knowledge and material such as nuclear triggers and electronic devices and obviously having to do some designing of its own by developing special steels and some gas valves...
  • Nov14-2009--US says it has no specific proliferation concerns about pakistan
  • Nov14-2009--Pakistan frightened of a hasty withdrawal of US troops even though many suggest that pakistan might be able to better fill the vacuum of power in afghanistan than the US and its indian allies...having previous say contacts with the taleban whom the US is frightened to fight directly and are only literally pummeling away into thin air...
  • Nov14-2009--Obama visits tokyo which the US has not vacated since its occupation in 1945 and which is a contrast to afghanistan where the US has not even been able to implant even a proper government yet..US influence in asia has waned as its policies are seen as intransigent and dictatorial to teh region...teh ineffectiveness of US military might to even frighten weak and economically devastated countries like afghanistan as other countries like china, malaysia,pakistan,indonesia,india, korea develop an independent power and industrial base...The US should try to form an asian Nato rather being seen as imposing its military might from afar...denuding powerful countries of military might and economic/political sway is proving dangerous for a world where the US apparently only supports israeli style policies which cause extreme reactions in a region of economically emerging countries but which are shorn of any political might and are usually devastated emotionally by US interference and total derogatory subjugation..while earlier US opponents were technically and economically powerful recent US enemies seem tobe economically weak and politically inefficient/ineffective...if the US takes as long as it did in japan and germany than afghanistan will be occupied long into this century and obviously the US will find it difficult to maintain just an okinawa in the region...The US only allows facial economic development and no projection of any sort of military power or even dual centers of political power...
  • Nov14-2009--The government is levying taxes thru wapda..a new one allowed by teh courts is teh Neelum Valley project surcharge despite the government having received loans for the project...While the people have paid for wapda and natural gas projects they turn around and apply even higher electricity/gas rates due to their and teh governments inefficiencies...electricity rates have gone higher and higher since teh government started its policies of privatisation and breaking up a relatively efficient wapda..
  • Nov14-2009--eight nato oil tankers were seton fire in bolan, balochistan killing one driver

    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...
