  • Jan10-2011--Government making a mockery of even its own budget committments as Pakistan railways says it has no money to pay for fuel and the government not providing the money allocated in the budget...Railways says that 30 freight trains waiting for fuel at various stations and over 4000 filled bogeys waiting at karachi...many suggest that the sindhi orientation of the government causing upcountry problems in delaying freight trains, oil supplies and restricting gas supplies during winter...
  • Jan10-2011--Dawn suggests that Latif Khosa the Benazir lawyer who has been unable to keep his job and been removed from at least three positions is headed for his fourth or fifth appointment as governor punjab in this government..earlier he was the bone of contention between the SC, Zardari and Gilani...many suggest that the SC fix lawyers representation amounts/wages as whoever goes to Latif Khosa he suggests millions as the payment he will take to represent them...is that the only type of governor that the PPP can think of...
  • Jan10-2011--Gilani and nawaz sharif agree to discuss their agenda's...many suggest that Gilani has a poor understanding of the peoples problems or development needs of teh country...meaning that his knowledge of economics might be totally zero...he might be on teh same page with altaf hussein and nawaz sharif but the peoples pages has been torn out of his memory...
  • Jan10-2011--The PPP has outlived its utility..The muslim leagues,ethnicists and martial laws have warped their brains...They donot know whether they are behaving like chinese capitalists or america's Lugar allies and they hardly know the difference between an indian and a pakistani...or whether a cricket match has been bought or sold...or did salman butt spot fix or mohammed amer
  • Jan10-2011--strange things happen when an elite force policeman kills a governor..Zardari immediately jetted of to karachi and three ministers had tobe sent to get him back...and Gilani "jo sirf amreeka ki baat manta he" on drones and taxes and price hikes(everyday hilary clinton phones and says increase sugar prices or wheat prices or electricity sales taxe or atta prices or petroleum prices or RGST only effects a few people...the most famous hilary comment has been "isnt electricity too cheap in pakistan dear gilani"...!!!..no that is in china and india responded zardari...)...but he reversed the petrol price hike...and said the mqm are my friends(enemies)(most allied of allies) and nawaz sharif's agenda is on my head and eyes...others say that a strange phone call in the middle of the night in punjabi saying "we are right behind u" prompted gilani to suggest i really have never been to 90 or refused nawaz sharif anything he wants...?...some are saying the punjab elite force is now more powerful than the army and the ISI or even amreeka...?..if i can remember teh elite force was created to control law and order...this is however the first case in which challenges to a law have been taken care in this manner...the elite force now follows around ministers and governors...earlier the police was heavy handed on the people and opposition politicians but was always helpful to those in power...ie. why it is called the elite police force...used to protect the elite...?..Such fright in the corridors of power has never been caused by the army or the taleban's suicide bombers..many are suggesting that the american army chief is flying in to plan an operation against the punjab's elite force...when the matter was referred to the pakistan army chief he responded we donot have enough firepower to control punjab's elite force...american reinforcements and modern drones are needed to rectify the problem...many suggest that the countries problems are really not going tobe solved by privatisation or restructuring(ongoing since the early eighties)...many suggest that the Nepra and Pepco chief also be provided with eilte force protection...The country has slowly been sliding downhill in all deptts eversince teh privatisation exercise started...the private sector might be able to provide KFC's and Mcdonalds burgers but are unable to solve teh countries main problems...
  • Jan 08--2011--five killed in north waziristan drone strike...
  • Jan 08--2011--PPP kickout delayed...The PPP backs down completely in sindh and the mqm continues its on-off attitude by moving onto the government benches in the center...Democratic governments/systems cannot function without real opposition as teh PPP dictatorial nature falters and stutters on....In the punjab PPP could be on the opposition benches soon as they are a failure in their quasi appeasement mode...many suggest that the PPP appoint strong governors in all provinces who can control the problems that are occurring everyday with teh PMln and mqm...American ambassador says that we try to dictate government policies..explaining teh sovreign failure of the PPP regime on drones and economics...The american policies of price and tax hikes are crushing the pakistani populace and not affecting as robert munter says a few...!!many say if american aid is needed to repair just shrines than pakistan really does not need such aid...USaid distributing lugar aid in small distributed amounts which does not solve pakistans huge problems in the development arena
  • Jan 08--2011--The PPP which thinks after rather than before stops onion exports to india via wagah as onion prices in pakistan rise
  • Jan 07--2011--after a failure to lure teh PMLn and PMLq to save his government Yusuf Raza Gilani literally on his knees reverses teh petroleum price hike and begs MQM to come back to teh coalition...Government literally trying every financial trick in teh book to create an image of a financially troubled country when that is not teh case...after failing with teh RGST teh government tried to again hike taxes thru a petroleum price hike...but fell afoul of teh JUI over Hajj corruption and teh mqm too followed suit as teh PMLn issued an ultimatum and teh PMlq was willing to support a no confidence move...what is left of teh credibility of teh Zardari-Gilani governance after the additional killing of teh punjab governor and expected/possible removal from teh punjab cabinet of the mute and duped PPP ministers is quite apparent to everyone...The punjab governor also apparently ran afoul of the pro blasphemy law federal cabinet which had earlier fired upstart sherry rehman...!!!mqm a rival for the nura kushti champions the PMLn and PMLq expected to crawl back into teh federal cabinet...
  • Jan 07--2011--Azam Swati a JUI minister who was removed from teh cabinet says Gilani and his son are the most corrupt rulers in the last 63 years as the SC heard testimony in the hajj scam as accusation of large scale corruption by teh DG hajj and others...Rehman malik also involved in hajj scam as he removes accused rao shakeel from teh ECL another gilani protege
  • Jan 06--2011--As the choices for new governor of punjab were thought about many suggested that Zardari pick a more respected figure than he has been able to think about upto now...others said that both the governors appointed by him are now dead...On the PPP side there are few with any generalized respect barring perhaps aitezaz ahsan...many suggest that teh PPP can not take a chance on losing another senate or national assembly seat and probably a provincial figure will have tobe appointed...some suggest Tanveer kaira who has been working with teh PMLn government as the possibility of the PPP ministers being dropped from teh punjab cabinet looms...PPP has to realize that a governor cannot win them much support in the punjab...The PMLq did a quick about turn as many started to suggest that they might be behind another political murder and were now willing to support a no confidence move if moved by teh PMLn who dont want anything todo with the federal government...many suggested that Taseer had been eliminated by teh government itself for some internecine reason like corruption or terrorism or might be be he was being considered to replace yusuf raza gilani or even that the mqm had paid for the murder to take revenge from teh PPP for something...others suggest that smaller religious organizations than the taleban might also be more willing to use murder as a political tool as sunni political power is seen on the wane...The interior minister also supported the murderer in a way by saying that he too would kill anybody vilifying the prophet...and that no change is being made to the blasphemy law...a small victory perhaps for malik mumtaz qadri...!!
  • Jan 06--2011--The PPP workers found it difficult to bring people onto the street to protest teh Taseer murder even though lahore was deserted on his burial...most political and government leaders stayed away from the funeral due to teh controversial circumstances not wanting tobe targeted by their own security or suggest support for an unpopular cause...many suggest that security clearances were not available as teh government initiated a quick recheck of their police security personnel......a country which has seen nothing but murder, mayhem, price hikes and utility shortages for the last few years is almost unable to be even sad at another death..people find it difficult to understand the PPP attempt to politicise the murder...when it took place in almost teh calmest corner of pakistan where even diplomats are not frightened to walk around...and to show the countries polarisation lawyers greeted the arrival of the murderer in court and showered petals as some groups justified the murderers reasoning...while taseers son said that he had earlier had his own father killed...while still others said that another of benazirs killers had bit the dust and that all the numerous companies that taseer ran as teh PPP made life difficult for the people were on the verge of bankruptcy...many said that he was a front man for investing the money of corrupt politicians in punjab...Taseer who had joined teh musharaf-pmlq before benazirs death was seen by many as a controversial choice..industrialists, bussinessmen,waderas,generals have little love for the people anymore and teh country literally cant mourn anymore...
  • Jan 05--2011--while nawaz sharif wants removal of corrupt ministers many say the federal government is a burden on this country with its wasteful spending spree's unchecked by parliament... six or seven ministries are all that are required while health and education should be shifted to provinces totally...many say inter provincial coordination, law, interior,defence,communication, finance,water and power and petroleum are the only ministers that should remain with state ministers for education, health, information,transportation...
  • Jan 05--2011--Sindh raises chilli prices at kunri to Rs275 a kilo from nearly 190 a kilo...
  • Jan 05--2011--After the failure of taseer as governor many suggest that the PPP appoint a more congenial soul who can get along with everybody...kaira, badr considered better than the abrasive baber awan
  • Jan 05--2011--food convoy torched and looted in parachinar..school bus bombed in turbat
  • Jan 05--2011--nawaz sharif gives three day ultimatum to the government to agree to implement his agenda or get out of the punjab government...while an independent accountability commission would be a new thing since even teh courts are not independent one should see the history of the whole issue to see its uselessness unless the people involved in corruption at any level are removed from power...most other issues have already outlived their need and nawaz sharif should methinks change his agenda to at least include some benefits to teh populace...
  • Jan 05--2011--Governor punjab salman taseer killed in a shooting in islamabad...governor involved in various controversies with the PMln and recently the blasphemy imbroglio...said to have a wife and son in amritsar..a conservative bussinessman and supposedly liberal politician linked to the PPP, PMLq and imran kahan with supposed arab sources of funding...recently he disappeared for days without information...apparently shot dead by accompanying elite force policeman for tauheen i risalat near kohsar market..a member of benazirs economic taskforce he gave her the controversial advice that privatisation would end teh countries foreign debt..it actually tripled...later he quit the PPP over differences and was made punjab governor when he went to see zardari to condole benazirs death...zardari apparently thought he was a great bussinessman ..a controversial person he apparently bought teh Pace deptt store from imran khan and set up teh pace hotels and apartments group...he is probably more famous for running an english newspaper and a television channel..!!!He was the only governor appointed by Zardari who has been unable to appoint his governors in the other three provinces..PPP attempts to create a hoopla around the murder despite no mystery and many suggest that the PPP did it to get out of a political quagmire...many see it as a resultant of the gilani-shujaat meeting and say taseer had to pay a high price for a Rs450 rupee cup of coffee...!!
  • Jan 04--2011--Mqm mulls moving into the opposition in sindh which has no opposition at present...
  • Jan 04--2011--Army says it is converting the sui cantonment into a military college
  • Jan 04--2011--mqm's nazimabad sector incharge shot dead in karachi...mqm which has been literally absolved of everything by the PPP regime and has distanced itself from the PPP after being accused of protecting and running killers now wants an investigation of this killing..in an earlier attack an ANP official was shot dead while later a sindhi truck driver was shot dead
  • Jan 04--2011--electricity losses in punjab lowest at 14.1% while they are 37.6% in Sindh and 35.3% in KP...balochistan at 18%
  • Jan 04--2011--gilani desperately seeking PMLn and PMLq support as they try to blackmail MQM into returning to teh Zardari fold...PMLn and PMLq not willing to form a coalition to topple PPP...Nawaz sharif gives an ultimatum that his agenda too should be implemented or the PPP will be forced out of the punjab government...Gilani obviously unaware of the limits of his governing coalition...zardari refuses to become an impartial president...PPP's harsh unnecessary economics will have tobe dismantled substantially for any reasonable coalition to be stable...The PPP's inability to initiate proceedings against Benazirs killers as well as any reasonable effort to investigate teh Bugti killings has shown them tobe only in power for the prestige of governance...They have developed a harsh anti people image favorable only to the rich agricultural/industrial lobby with unexplained favors to state sector workers /army...
  • Jan 04--2011--The analysis of the PPP rule upto now shows their immaturity and taking their coalition for granted...Gilani many think is good at politiking but a bad primeminister unable to control anything...it is only the opposition fright of the army chief and forming a coalition between conflicting parties that keeps him in power and the strange PMLn logic of forcing PPP to rule for five years... The PPP think that the people will be satisfied with mere politics while they crush their living standards by price hikes, taxes, non development, gas and electricity shortages, making basic foodstuffs unavailable by cost enhancements... and a total following of teh IMF attitude/ethic with a donor related/imported finance minister...The mqm on the other hand like teh other PPP coalition partners has been a complete failure in government as in the past and been unable to support any people measures prefering teh altaf hussein threats(which a mohajirish terrorized zardari succumbs to as if out of fright and as a form of coalition threatening politics to get the mohajir ethnic agenda thru which is not anything that the people support or want...Their attitude of being unable to present views in the cabinet or to the finance minister suggests that they have an opposition mentality and are unable to participate in policy formation to any popular level...The ANP with only 13 seats has however has had most of its agenda implemented despite its unpopularity...The PPP mandate with only 127 seats out of 342 seems akin to dictatorship and they have at best outlived their utility...upto now no realistic solution to any of teh countries problems has emerged and their constitution gimmikry is regarded as a favor to themselves rather than any promotion of democratic values...gilanis latest suggestion that the people are only good for votes and they have todo nothing in return and they are only subjugate to a parliament which is at best a rubber stamp affair with the nura kushti champion nawaz sharif and a mute PPP camp...is a measure of their democratic attitudes...
  • Jan 03--2011--Gilani immediately changed his tune to nawaz sharif, nawaz sharif while yesterday he was saying that the mqm does not oppose me as the mqm moved onto the opposition benches in the national assembly...probably trying to force teh PPP to accept his diktat altaf hussein in a major change of heart pushed teh PPP into a minority status at teh center...legally asif zardari should ask the primeminister to take a vote of confidence which only nawaz sharif and the PMLq can save the PMLn protege yusuf raza gilani who many say has turned against teh ideals of teh PPP and has adopted a consistent anti people policy..PMLq,Mqm and JUI-f could possibly form a block of votes creating three big blocks in the assembly while opening the possibility of nawaz sharif joining the government if PMLn is given the primeministership..earlier attempts by teh PMLn to form a government were rejected by teh mqm...The only possibility for a PPP government surviving is teh acceptance of a joint primeministership candidate with PMLn...elections could be round teh corner if coalition attempts fail...nawaz sharif given his reluctance tobe part of a government could allow the PPP to rule on in a minority status if his views on major issues are implemented...
  • Jan 02--2011--another four gilani approved drone strikes in north waziristan kill 19
  • Jan 02--2011--Yusuf Raza Gilani seems tobe heading towards an election defeat as he announces the Gilani doctrine of "mein kuch nahin kar sakta..." drops his sunni religious coalition on the blasphemy issue and announces his drone philosophy of 'drone attacks will stop on their own',army/airforce only to fight rioters, terrorists and militants, mqm bhi ghud theek ho jaigi..terrorism aur sectarianism aur ethnicism bhi ghud khatam ho jaingi.....high taxes and price hikes needed to build high security walls around my and zardaris houses in multan and naudero and the CJCOSC offices and islamabad mariott...mehngai ka bhi kuch nahin kar sakta,indians bhi ghud hi kashmir ka solution denge...unemployment meri zimadari nahin,18/19 amendment ka pata nahin kiya faida hoga..party ke logon ke kehne pe appointments karta hun...jab job khali hoti he to jehangir badr or zardari or qaim ali shah aur multan phone karta hun ke kis ko lagaon..koi PPP wala jobless na mile to amir hoti ka banda laga deta hun......awam jain bhar men... men sirf parliament ka ghulam hun...
  • Jan 01--2011--The PPP literally succumbs like a whipped pup with its tail between its legs to mqm's troublemaking attitude/viles again and allows them back in to teh coalition as well as accepting their dictation on all sindhi issues such as withdrawal of LG legislation and reinstallation of commissioners...Zardari apparently ordered the sindh home minister to forget about their killers and save my government...?
  • Jan 01--2011--PPP's policy of price hikes continues with a stunning 9% hike in petroleum prices...transportation costs play a major role in food prices...
  • Jan 01--2011--Opposing the governments attempts to deride the blasphemy law a countrywide strike closed bussiness centers and stones were pelted at the Zardari residence in karachi while calling for the removal of punjab's anti religious governor...many suggested the PPP's pathetic liberal top order gets swayed by minority concerns and liberal women while forgetting teh sentiments of the majority ethnically as well as religiously.....
  • Jan 01--2011--Rehman malik many allege losing his memory as he was unable to recite surat ikhlas at a cabinet gathering and was booed by colleagues...

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

allah be praised
allah be praised...i do own forty factories but the people think i am a pauper...i really donot need sarkari umra's....please allah i did not promise imran khan the government when he fell off the platform...cant u make him my slave and not ask for recounts...!
