The Daily Pakistanpolitics Oct 1-15, 2011

  • Oct15-2011--Fiza Gilani challenges benazirs position apparently in a government advert...she is known as quite a heavy fraudster after having a 200 million loan written off by ADB for companies that were just a front for the loans
  • Oct15-2011--In another drone attack four tribals are killed
  • Oct15-2011--many are labelling Admiral fasih Bokhari as corrupt as teh opposition leader called for selecting a NAB chief from an agreed panel by consensus...apparently Fasih told the prime minister that he was willing to give his entire wealth for the position...Gilani responded that i have already made billions...many suggest that Fasih emphasized that he would straighten out each and every politician
  • Oct15-2011--In a shock decision teh PPP increased electricity prices by upto 70% for median users and 35% for top level consumers in former wapda areas...punjab which will have to foot upto 70% of the electricity bill is seeing teh anti punjab animosity of the PPP in a clearer light as electricity prices are not raised for karachi...former wapda companies will approximately make upto 500 billion per year which apparently seems tobe callous and shocking...ie if it is not just for one month...even that amounts to around 40 billion in extra payments for consumers this month...That after mehsud indicated that wapda companies had over 92 billion in reserves..it is also shocking in the context that electricity from hydel is maximum during the month
  • Oct15-2011--The PPP barely survived a split in sindh as the Zulfikar mirza group backed down after the mqm agreed not to change teh status quo on local bodies...Both PPP and mqm are undemocratic as far as sindh is concerned and are subduing dissidents with the capacity to form opposition parties or groups who are opposed to the zardari clans policies...mqm has incarcerated afaq ahmed again as the PPP attempts to force zulfikar mirza out of politics
  • Oct14-2011--defeating the PPP-PMLq candidate PMLn candidate wins PPP-220 by election...support for the PPP-PMLq is falling steadily as they are seen as not solving peoples problems and only working for the rich..the PPP also seen as anti punjab and having strange policies viz the terrorist mqm...
  • Oct14-2011--ayesha malik supposedly a shabaz sharif daughter in law accused of kidnapping filipino maids child...given bail by LHC...no reason assigned for kidnapping maids child
  • Oct14-2011--war continues in the tribal areas with military killing five in shabqadar and mohmand
  • Oct14-2011--crazy PPP regime prone to sitting on money like banias(hoping that the money will lay eggs to pay for IMF loans...?) and needed projects and imports are left dangling hoping that gas will not fall short for even the minor domestic needs...
  • Oct14-2011--five die in mastung coalmine explosion
  • Oct14-2011--US drones kill ten militants in fata attacks including jamil haqqani a member of teh haqqani clan..US follows opposing paths in the war with hilary saying that they wanted talks with haqqanis and the cia killing them..the haqqani network says the USA is not sincere and talks should be held with the top taleban leaders only
  • Oct14-2011--PMLn rejects Admiral Fasih as NAB chairman on procedural grounds...PPP has shown an inability to discuss things with the opposition leader although willing to talk with terrorists and extortionists for personal gains
  • Oct14-2011--The national assembly saw some fiery attacks from the oppositionn leader when he accused the mqm of being a terrorist and fascist party with a militant wing involved in extortion, murders and creating nogo areas...The mqm members went wild and crazy ...this was in response to their attacking zulfikar mirza in the national assembly...The PPP which uses the mqm as an attack dog in karachi has refused to acknowledge the mqm's extortion related killings in karachi... Chaudhry Nisar despite having military connections accused the PPP of turning the DHA into a land mafia...he also referred to rumours that asif zardari had asked teh USA to stop a coup a week after the abbottabad attack...and offered to change the military top brass...panetta's statement that pakistan poses a real threat to US interests shows the type of relations that pakistan has with the USA while martin dempsey was more realistic suggesting pakistan, afghanistan and africa posed real problems
  • Oct13-2011--India is not a good trading partner stopping supplies such as cotton when LC's had been opened and only picking up goods such as cheap cement from pakistan...The balance can hardly be in our favour...ZAB also like Asif Zardari made the mistake of emphasizing trade...he opened 400 items for trade and teh indians immediately swamped teh markets and trade was restricted again...now thousands of items are allowed...trade is not important as india is not going to solve any problems that way...MFN to a bad trading partner is hardly a principled decision...india has shown no inclination to solve any of the real problems...
  • Oct13-2011--PMLn shying away from confrontation on NAB appointee...Nawaz sharif and chaudhry Nisar should meet the appointee before making a decision ...many say that nawaz sharif suggested that the admiral is extremely stubborn
  • Oct13-2011--In what seems to suggest that the PPP is tired of being in government they try again to shut down commercial areas at sundown and go off on two day holidays...load shedding must be shared by everyone not only the non vip's...the government, vips, elite, army and industrial sectors must share the burden to ease the situatiojn...The PPP regime has the nasty habit of foisting all problems onto the people when they have no ideas how to tackle them...since most of the electricity is used by the industrial sector their staggered holidays must be significant enough to cause load shedding tobe reduced...government should ask all industrial users or high end users to arrange their own power and fuel supplies...reduction in demand creation should also be enforced by reduction in housing estates, new industries in useless sectors..shutting down high end users for a longer duration and all street lights and neon/ad lighting...power stations should be allowed to arrange their own fuel supplies and all petroleum supply companies should be allowed to import furnace oil...many suggest that the governments take teh lead and clear all their own bills first
  • Oct12-2011--three nato oil tankers set on fire in dasht killing two
  • Oct12-2011--a case has been filed in teh LHC accusing yusuf raza gilani of spending over Rs500 million of government funds on his homes in lahore and multan..it also accuses other leaders of keeping assets abroad plundered from public money...LHC CJ asked respondents to submit their assets in and out of teh country
  • Oct12-2011--one killed as rockets fired at government compound in orakzai during visit of KP governor
  • Oct12-2011--controversial zaka ashraf whom the SC wanted removed from his post as he was not a banker apparently appointed PCB head...zaka ashraf apparently wrote of the 200 million loan that gilanis wife took to setup non existent plants...loan taken during the military rule of zia ul haq...SC however also moved to take notice of irregularities and corruption during the tenure of zaka ashraf at the ADB
  • Oct11-2011--reports suggest that shabaz sharif's police officials terrorized a women and her daughter who claims tobe the wife of hamza shabaz...infact they had an ATC judge arrest her for terrorism...The LHC released teh women and ordered an inquiry against the ATC judge...
  • Oct11-2011--The current stoppage of load shedding is just due to the conditions and fright of punjab possibly going haywire says naveed qamar suggesting that no pro people measures are going tobe taken if demand rises...many suggest the stoppage of needless construction projects in the housing, building,commercial and industrial sector and they only be allowed if they setup their own power plants...PPP will have to organise the next elections during the end year period to avoid complaints about electricity...the PPP a pretty crazy organisation wants praise for doing their job and that too after riots...if they had invested in bhasha in 2008 it would be near completion now ...neither has any housing been built at the bhasha site nor the needed new road...in fact most people say that the remote site will also have worker problems all of whom will have tobe imported from nwfp
  • Oct11-2011--The PPP which only opposes baloch militants and taleban and those also it avoids handling suggests that parties involved in the karachi mayhem kick out militant groups...The PPP which is friendly with one of the most militant organisation in teh country involved in murders and terrorist acts all over teh country is unable to deal with that openly...
  • Oct11-2011--Zulfikar Mirza's peoples aman committee was banned by the interior minister which bodes ill for other terrorist organisations such as the mqm, anp, ST etc...many say that the people who donot want criminals in the mqm are themselves heading terrorist groups...others say that the malee ankh group led by khurshid shah and sharjeel memon could join zulfikar mirza in a splinter sindh PPP group which could attract twenty to thirty mpa's...the sindh PPP has upto now not had a real split with senior leaders unable to capitalise on differences with benazir...zulfikar mirza is the first to get teh support of over twenty mpa's...but sindh PPP members are still frightened of the bhutto powerbase in sindh which literally turns power brokers into dust...many are however unable to get along with the pro mohajirism of teh zardari clan...
  • Oct11-2011--The controversial suggestion of making a retired admiral who must be around 70 years old the NAB chief got mired in trouble as it was revealed that he had problems with nawaz sharif over musharaf's appointment as well as navy matters...many suggest that the admiral is possibly a relative of asif zardari...!ostensibly appointed by nawaz sharif as naval chief he should have been a shu in but the possibility of his being a zardari relative and having been at odds with nawaz sharif are problems...obviously musharaf could not get along with him either and he did not last long even in a military regime...!
  • Oct10-2011--four bullet riddled bodies found in khuzdar...kurram tribes agree to reopen tal-parachinar highway...one killed in three blasts in troubled baloch areas..transporter amongst four shot dead in karachi
  • Oct10-2011--Zulfikar Mirza bounces back with his aman committee amid allegations of corruption against his colleagues/mqm and suggests that altaf hussein the cowardly englishman study what he has been doing for the last 22 years...says manzoor wasan has started selling thana's...he vilified the frightened zardari for his inept policies...The mqm countered by saying his family came from georgia...!!
  • Oct10-2011--senate elections which the PPP aims to dominate at any cost have caused a PMLq dissident to suggest that the punjab assembly be dissolved...this could result in new elections in the punjab in ninety days or governor rule...new elections in the punjab could wipe out teh PPP and reduce their senate seats by upto three or four...PPP also looking for fata senate seats which it probably wont get unless it gives the fata mna's ten ministries...some suggest that punjab elections could confuse teh PPP into calling early elections and bringing a sensible government into power...many suggest that the PPP has been criminal in causing incessant load shedding,refusing to control karachi mayhem, terrorism and literally destroying teh countries economy by looting trillions...PPP responds that the sharifs have literally looted the punjab treasury thru sasti roti(10 billion) and have been unable to control dengue with defogging only in a few areas in the badfly affected punjab
  • Oct10-2011--In another confusing move Zardari offers to appoint a sleepy looking retired admiral as NAB chairman and offers consultation to the opposition leader...the judiciary and opposition wanted a judge appointed rather than a military man....
  • Oct9-2011--two anp workers shot dead in karachi
  • Oct9-2011--with inflation overall still very high government eases interest rates to 12%
  • Oct8-2011--In another demonstartion of mqm's cruel murderous nature a journalist was murdered in lahore whose brothers online newspaper The London Post printed a story that the british police had stopped altaf hussain from escaping to south africa as the noose tightened supposedly around the mqm killers of imran farook...who voluntarily went into pakistan police custody...
  • Oct8-2011--nawaz sharif urged the mqm to hand over its indian trained terrorists who had brought the pathetic sindh government almost to its knees...many notice the similarities between the indian terrorist ajmal pahari who eliminated 100 people and ajmal kasab...many say contract killers literally roamed around karachi asking people if they wanted someone killed...however nawaz sharif seems confused on the issue of new provinces which most provinces and people dislike...kiani and sindhi ministers have been talking about "maily ankhen bhore denge" literally a criminal act in itself...why should punjab be divided when teh constitution and people oppose it...
  • Oct8-2011--After three years of almost continuous load shedding and price hikes the unpopular people duping gilani says he has suddenly controlled load shedding...This ocurred after extreme load shedding riots in punjab which many say were designed to divide the punjab along seraiki-punjabi lines...many suggest that gilani-zardari-kiani have a deep cruelty motivated animosity against the people almost on the lines of the taleban suicide bombings...Gilani after doing literally nothing(apart from the vanishing money trail) for three years now says he will speed up power projects...also announced that the bhasha dam already started by musharaf five years ago will be restarted again...no major work has been carried out on the dam barring the building of a wapda residential colony...dam work to start many say in two years and could be completed by 2019-2020..many say the dam became popular again amongst the sindhi rulers after two years of destructive flooding in sindh...
  • Oct7-2011--WHO says dengue is not a killer disease which demonstrates the absymal quality of healthcare in pakistan and that the deaths are probably due to other causes...
  • Oct7-2011--In what can best be stated tobe enmity with the people the PPP regime announces wind power tariff at an astronomical high rate of 14.66 cents...wind power does not require any fuel and the rate can at best be described as criminal...
  • Oct7-2011--PMLn national assembly leaders and some from the PMLq-likemminded, fata and JUI also held a token sitin at the presidency whose occupant they regard as the troublemaker in chief who has guided the PPP to nothingness...
  • Oct7-2011--The Supreme Court inits decision on how to handle the karachi situation completely avoided the actual issue and roamed around suggesting various administrative issues...it said banning the troublemaker in chief the mqm is not its job but that of the federal government...there has been no evidence of police politisization in karachi against teh mqm which in fact has not even been troubled after the police and rangers were reactivated...the sindh government wants to blame the ST and JSQM which are minor political groups...The PPP has denied participation in killings but not in bhatta gathering while teh mqm and ANP have agreed that they have participated in both ethnic warfare and bhatta gathering...The ST and JI have also denied gathering bhatta...If the sindh government does not act against the actual troublemakers which are rehman malik, mqm, sindh government and ANP and possibly killers directed from the presidency than the silence of teh lambs is a better description of teh SC decision...The police and rangers quickly controlled things when rehman malik and the mqm were thrown out of the equation showing the influence of the perpretrators...television descriptions of bhatta gatherers show the type of people involved...criminal elements should be handled normally by the police and political involvements should be handled by the sindh regime...rumours of huge amounts kept overseas by the mqm, its governor, altaf hussein point to some of the participants in karachis criminal bhatta groups...most of the political violence has been between rehman malik's non judicial killers, ST and the mqm plus the lyari gangs which were initially controlled by PPP supporters such as rehman dacait etc...The police should act aginst all troublemakers...In the old days the police had a list of ghundas who were picked up whenever something happened in their areas...now police want the people to think that target killers and land mafia and bhatta gatherers were the cause of the problem and not ethnic warfare including ethnic cleansing...typecasting problems and solutions for political purposes will not solve anything unless the police act against all criminals irrespective of whether they belong to the mqm or not...The sindh government should display some courage and initiate actions on all troublemakers and criminals...
  • Oct6-2011--Things many say moved quickly after the PMLn reached an agreement with the PMLq and Mqm to launch a no confidence vote against what many see as a reluctant two timing lame duck primeminister...Gilani has been slow and dancing to crisis after crisis rather than following a a pro people agenda...however the PPP has a lot to offer to the mqm and the PMlq which could theoretically be wiped out in the next elections
  • Oct6-2011--In what might be a belated reaction to a disjointed sifarishi naval chief who could not handle things appropriately..Asif Sandila appointed naval chief...navy more in the news due to the orion attack on a karachi naval airbase where one gunman probably destroyed an airbase and attacks by probable rebels on naval transport vehicles...navy however put up a good show in handling a few flood relief camps...reports suggest that one of teh reasons that the mqm jumped back into the government could be the superceding of eight mohajir major generals by general Kiani who preferred the more stable punjabis
  • Oct6-2011--four shot dead in quetta by motor cycle gunmen
  • Oct6-2011--In another about turn the drugged looking mqm rejoined the government as the PMLq backed out of resigning from the government...that is the result of the almost coordinated riots that broke out in punjab as the PPP deliberately mocked the punjab with 12-16 hours of electricity load sheddings...while teh PMLn jumped into the fray attempting to stay on the peoples side the PPP backed out from its disastrous policy of deriding the punjab and its leaders...however the mqm and PMLq politics was hit for a six and they subsided into the position of mere hangers on...The PPP quickly realised that it had no choice but to drag along the chaudhris and the mohajirs for any chance of surviving the next elections...although there were some whinings from the PMLq legislators of attempts at replacing the conniving conspiracy prone chaudhry shujaat... The PMLn also happy tobe a bit more violent than their usual nature...The sindh government took the greatest risk as the mqm in the government has always meant trouble in karachi...but probably zulfikar mirza's exit makes its an ordinary affair...whether the dubious qaim ali shah can control the ethnic warmongers still remains in doubt...
  • Oct5-2011--soldier killed in a missile attack in south waziristan and a hotel set on fire at the gomal dam site
  • Oct5-2011--The Dawn says the US has stopped all military and non military aid and the pakistan government has not responded by ending its slavish relationship...Karzai too went on an anti pakistan india visit as he was unshackled from teh pro pakistan burhannudin rabbani...making many feel that india may be involved in both afghan and quetta violence...many feel it is high time that the military changed any US source of hardware such as helicopters and f-16s...the government can change to european models and even russian...The relationship with teh US is highly flawed and completly counter productive for pakistan...depending on the USA is just more trouble
  • Oct5-2011--The PMLq and Mqm both with very little leverage on teh PPP also started to actup as PMlq legislators handed over their resignations..however by the evening it started to look like nura kushti with teh pro establishment PMLq not expected to get out of government however many feel that the PMlq wants more senate seats and teh Mqm wants its karachi oppponents like afaq ahmed kept in jail...
  • Oct5-2011--14 hazaras shot dead near quetta in an attack on a bus
  • Oct5-2011--The sindhi federal ministers of power and petroleum had better realize that people are sick and tired of their incompetence...while the PPP backed down quickly it is apparent that the country is drifting without any control process...This is just like the abbottabad incident when the military was left watching as the americans invaded and left them a laughing stock for the weary public...riots which were spreading quickly in the punjab as the PPP regime choked off electricity supplies subsided as the government changed priorities and restored some generation...punjab is not like karachi and will take action both on the street and at the ballott boxes
  • Oct4-2011--In what is being seen here as a deliberate attempt to destabilize the punjab... riots broke out as the PPP government choked electricity supplies across the punjab ...initially the riots were seen as the work of raja riaz while some saw the hand of the terrorist mqm while some said they were spontaneous eruptions against government high handedness..however even Nawaz Sharif belatedly asked his workers to join the protests...there have been rumours that raja riaz was planning violent protests...a reluctant Nawaz Sharif who is seen as an establishment type with a lack of knowledge of economics and even how Wapda worked until the military snuffed it out...The PPP regime like Nawaz Sharif has been choking funds from key priority areas as the primeminister refuses to handle the country and its economics. Gilani is a small town leader frightened of straightening out errant and slow plodding ministers...Gilani lacks public support and is not too keen to even take an interest in teh countries public problems primarily electricity, gas and price hikes...however the riots caused the PPP regime to quickly change tack...a solid wapda type organisation would not allow so many power stations to be taken out of production at once...however the ministry of Power and a divided public and private generation system has no system wide managers to ease problems...many suggest that teh international donor driven wrong policies of privatisation and price hikes and subsidised private power houses has caused a stalling of teh system as teh government is unable to understand how to tackle the problem due many think to a lack of ability...Gilani only understands politics and does not know what todo about anything else causing a slowness of governance and decision making...
  • Oct3-2011--electricity load shedding of an unimaginable proportion caused widespread tensions and riots in punjab while lahore saw the burning of a lesco office and police vehicles...load shedding in most places was almost 12 hours and available electricity had fallen below 10000 MW...This is the result of one must say the crazy sindhis and seraikis who are allowing the situation to worsen day by day...they must realize that teh situation can only improve if they do something about it and a radical change in policy is one of teh many options...the system of a private power sector propped up by the government and the rest managed by state utilities is not working and teh government must do something about it...nobody is going to come running to help...the ministry of power and the private sector has been unable to control things ever since teh dismantling of Wapda which one must say managed things creditably...prices of electricity have since skyrocketed but load shedding has gone up steadily ...management of things in a system including the money minting private sector, state sector and PSO with governments refusing to cough up resources is almost like assuring a systems destruction...the government should go back to a system of being managed by a Wapda like entity with full control...private power sector should also be allowed to work onits own as teh government cant manage it with subsidies...electricity is now more important than agriculture and water and gas management...gas to industries is a total wastage and must be shifted to electricity production...CNG stations must be shut down for good and the private sector/power stations be allowed to import fuel themselves...priorities have tobe changed with a changing situation...the private sector just cant manage a system that they know nothing about and experienced power engineers be made the heads of power utilities...resources must be quickly arranged the government sector must pay their bills...in the extreme a nationalisation of the power sector be thought about...the country must use its own resources and the governments should stop federal and provincial investment in sectors that can be managed by teh private sector...governments should realize that the funding of the state sector is necessary just as the private sector which gets loans for every project from banks...one has not seen any private sector that has been funded by personal resources...even teh biggest private sectors use bank loans for expansion...if some sector is in the state sector than its needs have tobe managed thru revenues...education, housing, roads, textiles can all be managed thru the private sector without need of state funds...priorities must be based on teh countries needs...u cant create more electricity requirements and not invest in the power generation sector...
  • Oct3-2011--afghanistan says that the rabbani killer came from chaman while the pakistanis respond by saying that he was an afghan insider who stayed at a government guest house and the handler an afghan who had been roaming around kabul and kandahar
  • Oct2-2011--four policemen killed in an IED bomb attack in mansehra
  • Oct2-2011--Pakistani diplomacy collapsed again as afghanistan now wants talks with pakistan as it accuses teh ISI of eliminating burhannudin rabanni
  • Oct2-2011--In a seemingly hasty move an ATC judge sentenced to death Mumtaz Qadri...this can be seen in the context of the benazir murder which is still in court...protestors burnt tires , damaged vehicles and tore the benazir picture at her memorial
  • Oct1-2011--With all the gadgetry from space, ground and drones aswell as ground troops and artillery admiral Mullen unable to explain how fighters come from pakistan to strike hundreds of miles away...obviously teh US admiral is using the haqqani network for propaganda purposes to subdue an underdog pakistan which is unable to even protest properly teh americans enmity...many suggest that pakistan too should use tough and harsh language for teh US to carryout its financial obligations otherwise there is nothing in the relationship for pakistan
  • Oct1-2011--a drone kills three including a mullah nazir militant showing that there are hardly any alqaeda left in fata and most of them are low order taleban mostly involved in the tribal areas...while three including twom levis men shot dead in kalat
  • Oct1-2011--militaries financial shenanigans highlighted as three ex NLC generals tobe tried for stock market scams
  • Oct1-2011--instead of the french paying commissions to pakistani scum it might seem that pakistan may have been paying french senior politicians for military deals...
  • Oct1-2011--suspicious US embassy construction site sealed in I-9

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

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...!
