• June 20-2010--There has been a big brouhaha over the punjab health secretary a lowly grade 19 fella cancelling a Rs 1 billion world bank project to distribute funds and medicines to aids sufferers...The NGO called nai zindagi turns out to be run by controversial PMLQ senator SM Zafar's(said to be involved in the Benazir murder and is now being called the chief PMLq hit man) son and the government has shown empty buildings that they have hired..it has been learnt on good authority that all the family of SM Zafar are employed in Nai Zindagi with the son getting a six lakh salary...apparently all the aids sufferers also belonged to the PMLq...and the NGO had no record on who was getting medicines and aids help...transparency international please check this at least...it is the world bank and NGO's that are corrupt not the pakistanis
  
• June 20-2010--the general feeling is that the Benazir ki photo hakumat is over given the terrible policies of the supposed PPP...their supposed reconciliation is also for themsleves as a debate in the national assembly laid bare their anti punjab attitude on teh kalabagh dam as the sindhis and Kp's fell over themsleves in trying to oppose the kalabagh dam illogically...their failures are compounded as shabaz sharif spends everything in lahore impresssed by the mqm's karachi only attitude..hoping might be international organisations will also praise him like teh dummy nazim of karachi...many people when asked what has the PPP been upto over two and a half years...they sadly comment sindh mein Benazir ki qabar bnwa rahe they shaid...!!others say they have been unable to build even a Benazir mazaar in over two years which raja riaz said he would build with the hard earned money of brickmakers...!!others comment that they have been fighting continuously with the SC which thinks that it has the sole authority to order the government and make administrative decisions...still others say that they have been sitting tight in islamabad while teh americans and Kiani's fauj deals with the taleban...that brings us to the budget which gilani said he couldnt change as it was for teh sindhis and that was his best effort..the budgest flaws and allocations were evident of the governments lack of committment and interest in financial governance ...electricity problems apparently have to resolve on their own...in the vein of waiting for allah...the government is seen tobe trying only to placate sindhis and mohajirs while nwfp is happy with KP and the baloch probably delight at killing a punjabi a day...others say they daily change strategies on how to deal with the SC's interference...many have said that the government is made up of fools which causes their erratic behaviour...one minister who is an ally of the primeminister who has fifty new suits made with a tailor sitting around for another order of fifty suits says they are reducing poverty by increasing prices at an astronomic rate so that the poor can neither eat nor want electricity...others say that the minister of interior has gotten the new suits made with bullet proof Kevlar...when u have kevlar than what is that under your suit gilani..smuggling heroin many say... the economists seem unaware that loans and taxes increase prices and that increases poverty...the phd in economics however thinks that workers salaries if raised to Rs9500 a month will increase unemployment...while a fifty percent hike in faujis/beaurocrats salaries will only trouble the FBR..while industrial workers have to work beaurocrats and faujis are just sitting around doing nothing...i think a higher salary will not make workers work harder but they might be able to eat a roti a day and industrialists are not known to lose profits over some wages..the result will be higher prices not unemployment as the same number of workers will be needed to screw a bulb before or after...many suggest that it is going tobe three years of doing nothing soon...todays news is that the americans have been warned that if funds are not available the war effort will suffer...this despite a hefty army budget...they apparently said go buy iranian gas...?..two days ago they said Holbrooke said the gas deal was an internal matter now he says they have warned pakistan over teh deal...
