The Daily PakistanPolitics May 2-5, 2010

• May5-2010--The pro military rule PMLq surprisingly starts a movement for a seraiki province...PMLq does not have too much support in the seraiki areas and not known for population or popular politics
  
• May5-2010--If rumours are tobe believed the SC and the PPP maybe handin glove in something else..apparently the beaurocrats were asked to sendin a huge amount for their promotions...they apparently refused and the SC fired them from their new posts...yusuf raza gilani and the Sc hand in glove...?rumours also persist that sherry rehman ran away with the lafafa money of teh countries journalists...apparently she bought the Dawn surreptitiously with the money and dawn now is literally refusing to believe that Zardari or gilani may have done it and dawn has surprisingly turned pro zardari and pro PPP for the first time inits history......how loyal are the lafafa biradri...does the country distribute Rs200 million amongst journalists every year...reports also of PPP leaders stuffing accounts overseas and spending development funds on meaningless overseas investments...Nafeesa Shah apparently said that they needed money as they had to make a lot of payments...?
  
• May5-2010--Faisal Shehzad arrested for botched car fire attempt with an amteurish bomb in new yorks times square...these taleban types surely dont have any experience or real training it seems..many suggest that it could be a US setup to prove that they can nab all of them...as usual from nwfp's nowshera area and son of an air vice marshal..seems a bit too well off tobe a real terrorist...
  
• May5-2010--Shah Mahmood qureshi says we have revived old kashmir policy...was it that different...seems old policy also had the same elements of samjotha expresses and bus services and trade...india has refused to settle any issue and that will probably weigh heavily on ajmal kasabs sentencing...what surprises many is that a trained terrorist with kalashnikovs, hand grenades and bombs was arrested by a single fat indian policeman with a .303...?The only change that musharaf wanted to indian policy was loose borders and access to occupied kashmir...a northern ireland type solution it does not seem to have succeeded in being implemented due to obvious flaws and south asia not being even remotely an area anything like europe

• May5-2010--New mercedes being purchased for Salman Taseer for Rs 25 million...what a waste...!!
  
• May5-2010--Maulana Fazlur rehman attempts to revive the shattered MMA...religious groups have been devastated in politics since the MMA broke up
  
• May5-2010--Rehman Malik a veteran police wala did not realize that BB might have been injured despite being only a few hundred feet from the PPP leaders pajero and having heard the blast and bullets...refusing to even get out of his vehicle for a look see or rushing to the aid of their fallen leader......They went all the way to the Zardari house before rushing back to the hospital...are we naive or isit the PPP or the army or police...the ISI/IB/police/rangers/MI/army who are all over anything that happens during army rule ...and apparently even the ASI incharge was not present at the site of Benazirs assassination...and they think that no clue would have been found after just a cursory examination of the site ...so hose it down the PPP walas might be coming to do what...lick the blood maybe...? The car driver says that retired gen tauqir Zia was also in the black mercedes...what such a pro musharaf general was doing at the jalsa site is unimaginable...also information suggests that musharafs MI chief hoodwinked the beurocrats committee setup to find those responsible for the security flaws...?
  
• May5-2010--Mqm walas destroy a police station in korangi...
  
• May5-2010--according to rehman malik people in karachi just kill each other for no reason...the killing motorcyclists knock out an ANP activist just for fun apparently...eh rehman malik...or is it an mqm strategy..
  
• May5-2010--hackles rising in the PMLn this time at load shedding and price hikes..nawaz sharif who has had to pay a heavy price for supporting the PPP now more willing to support the people...PPP has failed miserably with its load shedding policy...Nawaz Sharif willing to admit that the PPP,lawyers and judges not really representing the peoples point of view...

• May4-2010--Yusuf raza gilani hires world bank consultant at $1000 per day plus expenses and a special consultant to force the people to pay more taxes thru VAT...the consumers are already being taxed without sense or care...PPP wants WB and IMF to sit on budget preperations and direct implemenation of VAT but requires no input from the peopel or parliament..PPP dealing with issues in a similar manner to dictatorial regimes...one doubts that teh PPP manifesto contained such nonsense as VAT and deliberate load shedding or unimaginable price hikes
