The Daily PakistanPolitics March 29--27, 2010

  • Mar29-2010--conflict contines in orakzai as cd shop blows up in peshawars hayatabad
  • Mar29-2010--Dawn says that pakistan has received 14 used F-16's and now wants 18+14 new f-16s...why they want 60 block 52 kits is not understandable unless the 18 to be received this year are used planes...?pakistan also getting 115 self propelled howitzers, an old frigate,and 121 refurbished TOW missile launchers and 20 old cobra helicopters...pakistan has also acquired 39 T_37's...pakistans defence in effect depends on F-16's and if the US military withdraws pakistan maybe tasked with bombing out afghan resistance in some circumstances..india many say has been kept from attacking pakistan because of pakistans F-16 fleet and its missile defence...pakistans aerial defence has improved after acquisition of aerial radars that can look deep into india and air refuellers although many think that pakistan needs to have three forward airbases to react quickly...
  • Mar29-2010--Pakistan unsure of complicated VAT system ..prefer direct GST which at least is understandable...with literally no value addition in many sectors taxes will fall dramatically if implemented
  • Mar29-2010--Obama tries to divide karzai cabinet by creating powerful and weak ministers and suggests that kabul had better get going in regaining control over security and slowdown on talking to the taleban...kabuls only chance is for the taleban to support them
  • Mar29-2010--Yusuf Raza Gilani was further upstaged when the law minister ordered the convening of a joint sitting of parliament without consulting the president or primeminister...Yusuf Raza is the weakest primeminister ever and many say Nawaz Sharif is his mouthpiece...? the constitution imbroglio turned nasty when members from hazara wanted to name teh province hazaristan or some say pukhthazar..others are saying renaming a province goes beyond teh responsibility of parliament and such wholesale changes need a constituent assembly..a 100 member constituent assembly could be nominated or elected within months...others are saying that the SC could strike down the 18th amendment as it changes the shape or sense of teh constitution...still others comment that raza rabbani, yusuf gilani and teh ANP/MQM(altaf) dont understand the word consensus and its meanings or connotations..raza rabbani apparently said that consensus means that i make the decisions...In internal party meetings Yusuf raza gilani said the party could make raza rabbani the primeminister if they wished until than i am the decison maker...
  • Mar28-2010--15 killed in shikarpur tribal warfare as electricity riots hit rawalakot
  • Mar28-2010--SC returns PPP's review petition on NRO -swiss cases
  • Mar28-2010--bodies of six truck drivers kidnapped in hangu(Toor Ghar) while going to peshawar from parachinar found in lower kurram
  • Mar28-2010--while many think that the PAF is flying over islamabad in the face of indian threats...airforce chief says we are just testing equipment over islamabad and we have a quick retaliation plan ready in case of indian adventurism whatever the reasons...suggests that 14 new block 52 F-16s are being acquired and earlier 18 will be delivered by years end and our old f-16s will be upgraded to block 52 versions in turkey by 2014...suggests that we just need some sensors from the US and can upgrade our drones to attack versions...
  • Mar28-2010--people urge the punjab asembly to reject the Vat law whether it is good or bad to show the IMF that its cannot dictate in matters of governance....IMF defers $1.2 billion tranche as bill not presented to the punjab assembly...?
  • Mar28-2010--Us drone kills four in mir ali
  • Mar28-2010--Nawaz sharif says that both sides have to agree on a new name for nwfp..PPP and ANP wanted to force a name down our throats...On judges commission he further changes position to suggest that the CJ should head the appointing commission along with appointing a seventh retired judge...The CJ thus would get two votes in the seven person commission...one suggests that people independent of the judiciary, government and parliament be appointed to the commission and only qualified, experienced and sensible lawyers be appointed judges...PPP gets easily riled up with nawaz sharif while other troublemakers like teh ANP and mqm are treated with kid gloves
  • Mar27-2010--The PPP starts a virulent anti nawaz sharif campaign as he tries to back out of the 18th amendment saying he is only interested in teh part of repealing teh 17th amendment and not literally rewriting teh whole constitution...with little interest in provincial autonomy or how judges are appointed his followers suggested the odd pukhtunkhwa khyber as the new nwfp name when they are opposed to the word pukhtunkhwa...many say it is all due to the bad mannered attitude of haji adeel...
  • Mar27-2010--an Fc colonel and four security men killed in militant attack on a camp in orakzai...the attack repulsed by air bombardments
  • Mar27-2010--In what many say is a sop to parliament yusuf raza gilani took back the meaningless daylight saving time clock advancement when no savings in daylight are possible as the sun appears early and sets late
  • Mar27-2010--In what many say is the mean nature of the present government it awarded a nazria pakistan gold medal to Lt gen mujibur rehman who was a a zia era tormentor of the PPP
  • Mar27-2010--Pakistan secures quicker supply of remaining 14 F-16's, naval frigates, gunship helicopters and remote controlled drones as well as minor allocations for power generation problems and roads in Fata from a strategic dialogue with the US...Pakistan does not seem tobe getting any funds from the US and whether they are strategic friends or a strategic priority only means that teh US is appreciative of the PPP regimes(read general Kiani) single minded fighting teh taleban for the last two years without total success...of pakistans order of 18 F-16's only four have been delivered...!
  • Mar27-2010--Girl school blown up in bajaur

how bhuttos got into politics in 1958...

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...

allah be praised
