- Apr21-2010-- After two years in power yusuf raza gilani still needs to think about how to handle the unending power crisis...a ban should be imposed on high rises, new housing estates, commercial complexes and new industrial units which alongwith teh agricultural sector use most of the electricity...after twenty years with no sign of reduction in line losses the ADB and other donors still think that is a problem alongwith transmission system improvements...while reduction in usage is obviously important in needless sectors the changing of the decision on the extraordinarily high cost rental power must be considered strange and should be at the cost of teh government...the people are quite sick of higher costs and government should realize that higher electricity tariffs solve nothing...The only solution is to have electricity production in line with needs and to fill dams quickly rather than waste water for useless agriculture...domestic needs are a fraction of teh total and they must be filled at whatever cost otherwise nobody is going to wait for this government to find new ways to say they dont know how to handle the electricity crisis..saving electricity means nothing...electricity cannot be saved...government offices should go without airconditioning and sindh must learn to pay its bills...if teh federal government funds lakhra than will sindh down the line say that these are our own provincial resources...punjab needs to spend money on electricity generation too rather than waste it on free tractors...many suggest that punjab should spend peoples money to setup 1000MW every year and IPP's should be allowed to double their capacity...without adequate electricity the punjab cannot advance and a punjab Power consortium should be setup...
- Apr21-2010--lawyers fight it out on whether the SC can strike down the 18th amendment...while teh SC has not struck down previous abhorrent amendments it should start to take responsibility and show parliament what it is doing wrong...parliament did not even consult the people or experts and just that is enough to strike down the whole amendment...otherwise there are many aspects opposed to democracy in the 18th and it is a major distortion of teh original constitution in other aspects...if tommorrow the parliament says that teh SC is hereby dispensed with or the president and primeminister are no longer necessary and the army chief can handle the remaining responsibilities than what will the SC do...it is time that the parliament is told that they can amend but not rewrite the constitution...the number of articles amended in such extreme haste shows the irresponsible nature of parliament and its members...
- Apr21-2010-- The army also gets into the compensation act by allocating 20 million for those accidentally killed in sera wela area on faulty intelligence..61 were killed as the army chief apologized to the always at war kukikhel tribe...The government compensates everyone for losses apart from ordinary people whom it tries to cause more losses and problems...

- Apr20-2010--Asif zardari signs eighteenth amendment after he could not arrange dancers to celebrate due to security problems...earlier the PPP which has no sense of the peoples problems thought they would be hailed by the people but the way they went about the hazara issue, party elections and the nwfp renaming brought little to cheer from a public that has seen them hurtle from problem to problem without adequate solutions and intellect..earlier they tried to arrange a festival on constitution avenue for the signing but were frightened by possible blasts...while nawaz sharif attended the signing there were conspicuous absences...The US influenced/affected gilani earlier tried radio speeches and many suggest that a signing in the presence of the leader of the opposition would have been more appropriate...The amendment has fallen generally flat with the public amid rumours that yusuf raza gilani asked Obama for one million dollars to tide him over personal financial problems...apparently Obama told him to talk to the US ambassador who can dispense about $80000 per important politician...apparently the nwfp chief minister suggested that he attend a renaming rally in peshawar but asif Zardari declined...!!
