- Mar23-2010-- government attempts a fresh move to stop SC from ordering reopening of Swiss cases by seeking a review..many say reopening of cases meaningless unless pakistani courts can give a clear verdict that the money was being laundered or was being paid as illegal commissions...zardari and benazir said that it was not their account...

- Mar23-2010-- karzai opens talks with hekmatyar
- Mar22-2010-- ANP-PMLn at loggerheads over Nwfp name...PMLn thinks it should not be controversial...while ANP thinks PMLn is playing brinkmanship...anyway without the PMLn the 18th amendment maybe doomed..many say that Nawaz Sharif thought that Asif Zardari would be a Corazon Aquino...while others think that the SC might force Zardari out office..PPP thinking Of Fehmida Mirza unless she is an ahmedi as the next primeminister with possibly the controversial Gilani whose cousin Dawood Gilani is involved in the Bombay attacks as a lacklustre president...If the 18th amendment fails nawaz Sharif to jettyison PPP from punjab government
- Mar22-2010-- iran says that pakistan not moving onits 1135 MW electricity offer..Iran which has been acting like a mean profiteering shopkeeper wants an expensive 7 cents per unit which would mean about 2 million dollars per day...many in pakistan think that since irans production cost is minimal it should not charge such huge profits...pakistan unwilling to fork over 700 million annually for electricity when we dont even get a powerhouse for it...with gas purchase and petroleum products purchases pakistan would have to pay iran billions every year with almost no iranian investment in pakistan ie apart from pushung sectarianism...
- Mar22-2010-- a new larger turbine at tarbela would be almost a meaningless investment as it would at best be used for a few days...Pakistan should realize that with all the water being used for agriculture at a fast pace dams will not help much in energy generation on a huge scale...pakistan wants the US to fund its dams and possibly provide nuclear power stations...with most energy shortfalls in winter and early summer dams will in effect be useless for the purpose unless water is properly conserved over teh year

2024 Elections
election results in 2024..PTI in 2018 just a pukhtun based party literally surged in Punjab and karachi to emerge as the largest party with 114 seats in the national assembly...Though imran did not win a majority in 2018 even he failed in 2024 because of more cooperation between the PMLn and PPP and the collapse of the majlis amal and the breakup of imrans coalition whom he derogatorily alleged were trying to blackmail him alongwith losing the backing of the army and the resurgence of the mqm-P and JUIf...there is a large difference in the 2018 upright imran the cricket captain and the dubious looter/crazy politician imran in 2024 and the running after money, embezzler of party funds/funds from dubious contractors..looting state gifts and using a foreign office cipher for propaganda the world over..his mean and nasty influencers also did not help his cause...the PTI used to lap up everything the PTI influencers put out...Imran does not accept reality...!

How it all started...coups and politics and islam and democracy...
how bhuttos and imrans uncle(a general) + profesor ghafoor(JI) got into politics ---the ayub coup was a gath jor between sindhis and pukhtuns to topple the majority provinces of Punjab and Bengal in 1958...
debacle in Dacca
another imran uncle---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...
