The Daily PakistanPolitics Aug01-15--2012


  • Aug15-2012--five shot dead in karachi including two ST men and one mqmh activist...
  • Aug15-2012--25 militants and two troops killed in orakzai clashes...
  • Aug15-2012--dawn says that asif zardari is a very bad man as he twists and turns to avoid returning corruption extortions during benazir bhuttos government...most of teh case in teh swiss cases had already been completed and only asif zardari has to provide his viewpoint since they argued that they had not been present to present a counterpoint or rebuttal...The PPP the dawn says is trying to find a middle ground to save some face in the corruption related swiss cases...the government could write a letter or say it will write a letter in due course...others suggest that teh primeminister issue a government statement giving teh details of teh swiss cases and how they are being handled...asking NAB and all provincial governments to begin prosecutions and stating the problems in teh asif zardari swiss cases...theoretically they could also suggest leaving it for teh next government and also suggest that an election announcement is imminent...they could than present the government statement as a function and seek protection under article 248...they could much more easily write teh letter with all their fears or apprehensions included...that would leave teh way open for teh court to allow raja ashraf to continue at least until the next elections...!!The PPP government has to provide a reasonable explanation for their negative behaviour and suggest that they are working wholeheartedly on implementing teh NRO decision barring one case...?however PPP insiders would prefer that raja ashraf and even teh next primeminister be toppled so that they have several ex disqualified primeministers so that they can induct younger politicians in place of teh old fudgy duddies...?
  • Aug14-2012--Asif Zardari should have realized by now that supra constitutional acts such as turning the national assembly into a judicial body donot work nor do teh PPP's attempts to use teh national assembly to protect teh corruption of one man...the national assembly members have never represented teh people and if they go against teh constitution in law making and even constitutional amendments than the supreme court has teh authority to strike down such legislation...it is not called supreme for nothing...!!
  • Aug14-2012--In a contrasting move which many says has roots in teh attacks on teh sri lankan team in lahore one group was dropped and another included...kamran akmal and shoaib malik not that great now make comebacks and younis and umar gul dropped...with karachiite anwer ali included in teh one day squad many suggest it is another of teh PPP's mohajir-pukhtun conflict decisions...umar gul was not dropped from the 20-20 squad despite being in bad form...many suggest the four could have behind teh scenes links with teh attackers...
  • Aug14-2012--four ANP men shot dead in karachi...
  • Aug14-2012--In an Aug14 message the controversial military chief raises his head above teh bunkers to critisize teh uneducated corruption oriented PPP regime...specifically suggesting that they are responsible for the electricity crisis..many suggest that teh army might be going for another half hearted push to eliminate teh fata guerrilla leadership which has many hiding places even in an area that military says it controls 86% of...while terrorism has been reduced in most of teh country...ethnic/sectarian terrorism exists in karachi and balochistan and the fata taleban have been restricted but they have not been defeated completely...The taleban seem to find new places to hide or as a last resort they crossover into afghanistan
  • Aug13-2012--PPP's mochi ahmed mukhtar says he is willing to eat humble pie if teh chaudhries support him for primeminister and jamshed dasti says he will not relinquish his muzzafargarh seat to hina rabbani and also willing tobe primeminister which is these days just a shoe filling job..ahmed mukhtar many say has reached teh end of his political life
  • Aug13-2012--ten militants killed in orakzai bombings...FC man dies in pirkoh blast
  • Aug13-2012--while teh courts are prepared tobe reasonable to a solution of the NRO cases the PPP is not willing to study any of teh alternatives and wants another primeminister tobe kicked out like a football
  • Aug13-2012--The PPP's disqualified Gilani says he wont take raja ashraf's removal by teh courts lying down...The PPP has a poor history of demonstrations on removal as their leaders have no widespread personal popularity and have a bad reputation in governance...nothing happens if a weak primeminister is removed and teh government hardly missed a beat...teh country needs an independent primeminister who can make honest decisions without favour...he also misunderstands what going to the masses means...it means national elections on teh swiss cases issue...many suggest that teh PPP wants the courts to stop working which would also lead to further anarchy and corruption
  • Aug13-2012--two pakistanis shot dead in afghanistan across baloch border by US helicopter gunships
  • Aug13-2012--afghans meet supposed taleban deputy leader baradar who is in pakistani custody
  • Aug12-2012--pakistan army says US reluctant to seal afghan border for operation in north waziristan tobe a success...many say US haqqani tirade just to get approval for further drone attacks which many say are approved by the US president...
  • Aug12-2012--SC to takeup review petitions on ordering raja ashraf to implement NRO decision...PPP to argue that contempt cannot be applied to raja ashraf as cabinet has not advised him even if teh court had ordered him to explain his defiance and dilatory tactics...court says that primeminister should initiate proceedings to write teh letter which is even according to the PPP a meaningless exercize...it is contempt of court not contempt of teh cabinet..PPP coming across as dictatorial uneducated politicians witj a lack of understanding of constitution and the law...The courts are not meant to follow the governments orders whether you are elected or not...
  • Aug12-2012--The stumbling ahmed mukhtar says he will chase the chaudhries out of gujerat and the PMLn will not challenge him in elections...many feel that teh PPP could front with the PMLq in punjab due to a widespread loss of popularity
  • Aug11-2012--SBP cuts key lending rate to 10.5%..Governments monetary policy has restricted investments in key weak sectors of the economy as banks are kept afloat by the SBP...despite some positives the government has just been running a monetary economy without investments in teh countries failing sectors...
  • Aug11-2012--The sindhi led PPP government again wants the countries mainstay bhasha dam delayed and wants to focus on the power sector run of the river dassu project...with only two run of teh river projects at chasma and mianwali the fuelless damless dassu project becomes more feasible although the jinnah power project another run of teh river project has been plagued with unknown delays...
  • Aug10-2012--raja ashraf and teh sindhis want us to become dependent on sindhi coal after the failure of attempts to build a dam...the sindhis have torpedoed most large dam building over teh last 30 years..At the moment there is no available coal or any coal fired plants...the coal gasification plant has also yet to take off...in four years the sindhis have not been able to excavate any coal and conversions to coal fired plants maybe problematic unless longterm supply of coal is ensured...pakistan having energy problems as their multi fuel approach has failed and they have not been able to allocate resources and develop hydel resources fast enough...The PPP regimes policies have also failed to deliver in teh electricity field...with gas being used for CNG and industrial purposes and furnace oil becoming more and more expensive...PPP has continued to back higher electricity prices but that has not reduced demand...resources unless allocated for power production are useless to teh people...teh PPP's five budgets have failed to alleviate any of the peoples problems...the PPP also seems to have problems defining their support levels amongst teh people...coming into power on benazirs dead body the PPP got about 15% more votes than expected but even that translates into about 15% of teh populace...so the primeminister really was not elected by 180 million people as he is not a popular leader or even elected popularly...The PPP support base is at best anywhere from 8-15%...
  • Aug10-2012--Imran Khan challenges taleban to a suicide duel and refuses to back down from long march to miranshah...!
  • Aug09-2012--Imran khan allying with sheikh rashid for the possibility of winning rawalpindi's raja bazaar seat?
  • Aug09-2012--Imran Khan seems to have irritated teh fata taleban as they said they would blow him up if he came to Fata again
  • Aug09-2012--with punjab paying ninety per cent of teh electricity bills shabaz sharif told raja ashraf that they should get more electricity in return than the thieving sindh and nwfp...The PPP seems tobe losing against power protestors and shabaz sharifs tent office it seems...
  • Aug09-2012--Another primeminister subdued by asif zardari's corruption...the primeminister who is the head of teh government in a democrcacy under teh PPP has become at best an ordinary peon...unable to make a decision or stand up for himself...their attempt at immature homilies falls flat as their intentions are clear...The SC in an extension to the contempt debate again issued a show cause notice to teh raja for contempt on the NRO implementation...The PPP bereft of ideas and intellect unable to function in an open democracy with the army cowering in teh shadows......August 27 seems tobe teh next date with it being possibly teh last for raja ashraf ...many suggest he resign if he aims to still participate in politics...although the weak primeminister is a useless figure in this setup and almost anyone can replace teh incumbent with few in teh PPP having any real intellect to challenge as they say the dead benazir...without the primeminister making teh decisions the SC can easily win the battle even if it is a step by step attrition to a final verdict against the some of the worst political corruption this country has seen...
  • Aug08-2012--The army says no to joint operations in pakistan rejecting US offers to lead the joint operations into battle...
  • Aug08-2012--four balochistan constabulary die in IED blast in Kech district
  • Aug08-2012--In one of the biggest corruption scandals this country has seen under teh PPP the PPP's rishtadar former OGRA chief Tauqir Sadiq accused by NAB of causing losses of Rs83 billion...NAB however has been unable to arrest tauqir and other members of Ogra and most of teh accusations apart from embezzling/setting up/relocating 306 CNG stations are controversial government decisions...Rs.137 million spent defending tauqir sadiq's illegal degrees
  • Aug08-2012--In a contest on teh sidelines imran khan looking like a charity bakra...khawaja asif has got his goatee it seems...imran khan admits to having no knowledge about finances and does not understand that off shore accounts mean tax evasion and money laundering...many say imran khan charity kha kha ker phit gaya he...he will have to divest himself from his charity many say...tobe electable...?he too apparently wants teh SC to study the logic of political blame mongering, insinuations, characterization,innuendo and libel as well as honest criticism...many say in this case there maybe some meat under teh table...just like teh PMLn's former junior khosa who is running into further allegations
  • Aug08-2012--PPP unable to understand the logic of teh constitution , democracy, corruption and immunity...the article 248 gives immunity for functions of teh government not murder and corruption...The country has moved on and illegal actions of teh national assembly and government will be struck down by teh courts...The PPP which wants to save its corruption still does not want to write teh swiss letter...and that leaves both sides in a bind...The SC has set a precedent and it should theoretically be followed unless teh PPP agrees to a commission to exercise teh powers of government on behalf of teh SC...raja ashraf looking increasingly like a qurbani ka bakra too and should be gone before eid ul azha...?Kaira,ahmed mukhtar,raza rabbani, sherry, shehnaz waiting in the wings...
  • Aug07-2012--nato truck driver killed in jamrud as killings continue in karachi
  • Aug07-2012--raja ashraf says elections are teh only answer but PPP highups frightened of defeat...if elections are teh only answer announce them immediately within thirty days...however teh courts will still be there after teh elections and the present type of ineffective coalition is a failure...asif zardari cannot say i am corrupt because of the power of teh people...
  • Aug07-2012--The ethnic bhagora terrorist calls for winding up parliament while PPP wants an independent parliament...unless parliament works honestly under the constitution and preserves teh character of teh constitution teh SC can even undo constitutional amendments...PPP cant railroad legislation to save martial law administrators and its own corruption and than say they can do what they like in parliament...that is not how democracy works...the army, judiciary and national assembly have to work in an integrated manner...u just cant use legislation to refuse to carry out a court judgement...all legislation has tobe according to teh constitution...if teh PPP wants a new constitution they will have to elect a constitutional assembly again...
  • Aug06-2012--two nato tankers torched in khuzdar
  • Aug06-2012--PPP unable to read teh writing on teh wall in teh contempt case...The SC verdict on teh contempt law is not a joke or against teh constitution...apparently teh SC has not struck down a constitutional amendment yet...Raja Ashraf thought tobe more straightforward than Gilani has upto five or might be six weeks to write the letter or find an alternate solution on teh swiss cases
  • Aug06-2012--Nawaz Sharif says he will solve the circular debt issue first and turn pakistan into one of the ten big economies in the world...a country that cant build its own car,excavate its own coal,build its own microwave, power generator or provide electricity to even teh domestic sector needs to scale down its industrial and oversized housing sector and live in a sustainable environment..teh ten big economies buy from china and keep their environment clean..prices for chinese manufactured goods are a tenth of pakistans.....he will have to work on electricity prices which are unsustainable and teh highest for domestic usage and work on one sector like urban transportation which is at teh root of a failing system..hopefully he might have more of an effect on the countries ethnic, sectarian and tribal terrorism...might be they will consider not running the ministry of finance like a bank and stop teh state bank from subsidizing banks at teh cost of teh economy

  • Aug05-2012--three killed in balochistan including a mastung cleric, a doctor and a nato truckdriver
  • Aug05-2012--PPP many believe is behaving like a caged animal trying to protect its illegal individual corruption in teh case of teh swiss letters...if it really believes that teh NRO beneficiaries the most prominent of whom is asif zardari... the president can easily pardon everyone on teh NRO list or get a new NRO approved by teh national assembly since it has teh votes...

  • Aug04-2012--The Contempt of court law 2012 which was passed by parliament without much thought, in haste and with mischief aforethought has been declared ultravires of teh constitution...basically under article 25 --equality of citizens...article 63(1)g and article 204(1 & 2)...other aspects include disrespect of/to teh judiciary and interference in decision making...many suggest that the monarchical and dynastical politics of the PPP has been jolted and the country could easily be looking at another premier soon if they donot suggest a way out of the swiss letter situation...many suggest that the PPP is just making a fuss about nothing and writing teh letter to teh swiss and handling other NRO cases was not that big a matter of ego...others suggest that the PPP lacks a strategy or political vision and has been run on a day to day basis without any overall policy by people who are at best not teh best minds in teh country...
  • Aug03-2012--The AG is increasingly arguing against teh judiciary rather than about or in favour of teh contempt law...many suggest that his accusations of bias against teh judiciary are contemptable...he argues for wholesale immunity in article 248 but suggests that Gilani did not claim teh immunity against contempt...judges still question as to why they did not appeal teh contempt verdict if the government felt it was unjust..others feel that the PPP too was fed up with teh do nothing Gilani and on review it was felt teh court could send him to jail...many feel that governmental immunity cannot be overall and many actions that are criminal such as contempt, corruption, murder and applying SC rulings are excluded...however the immunity can only be claimed for normal governmental functions...many feel that attempts by teh government not to leave contempt decisions to teh courts are ultravires
  • Aug03-2012--NAB almost disbands arsalan JIT team
  • Aug03-2012--In what appears tobe a meaningless exercise teh ISI chief holds talks with his US counterparts such as Lt. Gen Doughlas E. Lute and teh CIA chief who hold totally opposing anti pakistan views...The US wants action against teh haqqanis while pakistan visibly wants drone attacks stopped which would mean reduction in terrorist activities inside pakistan...even if teh Haqqanis are conducting terrorist activities in afghanistan they would need a base there rather than in pakistan...most current reports suggest the exact opposite of US views and show increased infiltration into balochistan and northern pakistan...others suggest that the pakistani governmental view has all along been that the terrorists will all eventually die in operations...most Haqqani operatives should in theory all be dead if they were participating in all operations in afghanista...
  • Aug03-2012--rehman malik admits to complete failure in controlling law and order in balochistan saying that they have no way to control teh US, afghans and teh BLA apart from the LJ...there have been many suggestions that brahmdagh bugti participates in terrorist activities after shaving his beard all over pakistan but has never been caught...in 2011 over a 1000 people have reportedly been killed by teh BLA in balochistan alone
  • Aug02-2012--seven militants killed in orakzai alongwith one soldier
  • Aug02-2012--two low intensity blasts in lahores badami bagh as police claim killing of seraiki head of TTP in southern punjab
  • Aug02-2012--mixing bussiness with charity with politics with corruption and extortion...!..the beggar used tobe the epitome of charitable giving in pakistan...but with reports of millionaire beggars making teh rounds teh elite turned to charity collections alongwith maulvis, terrorists and supposed healthcare providers...charity became selective and not only for the real poor...teh rich(singers, poets and politicians) wanted foreign health cover at government expense while teh local elite wanted free dialysis and hepatitis injections...now the biggest charity concerns are run by teh countries rich and famous and there are really no beggars left apart from many say domestic servants...many say imran khans charity picks up funds by frightening people of death from cancer...after picking up Rs45 million in charities from sialkot Imran Khan ran into teh corruption ridden foreign investment debate after the PMLn revealed that he had invested SKMT zakat funds thru an offshore address in dubai and muscat and that they had lost sixty percent in value but teh simpletons who run teh Shaukat Khanum Trust said that teh arab seth had assured them that they would get their funds back...Imran Khan who many believe plays on both sides of teh wicket is apparently going to gangup up with difaa e pakistan afficionada sheikh rashid...!!Imran khan riposted that they were not SKMT zakat funds but from a foreign donors endowment fund meant for investment..ie foreign donors gave him $30 million which he kept and invested abroad...PMLn said that if that was the case than he could easily have invested it in high end securities...similarities to asif zardari...anyone...although asif zardari's millions came from kickbacks and corruption payments...many believe that politicians should have only one job and that mixing politics, private bussinesses and charities is fraught with evil intentions...the difference is very thin between legal and illegal--political and charitable donations(barring swiss accounts)(CIA and ISI are usually teh main sources apart from MI6 and RAW)and some say the same about corruption and extortion payments...is it alright to let a sick child die of malnutrition because he/she does not have cancer or the PPP government wants social sector benefits to go to rich landlords(thru price hikes) and bussinesswomen thru BISP loans and politicians children thru education funding...?..many believe that imran khan would do well to run from the platform of the Shaukat Khanum Trust rather than PTI as there is really nobody who believes in any sort of justice or insaf...even than he could say that i am not using charity donations for politics...my bussinesses and charities are run by different people and in different ways....the same applies to nawaz sharif and asif zardari in different contexts...
  • Aug01-2012--Pakistan will continue to have problems with teh USA as they sign a nato supplies agreement with supposedly defence ministry approval..however the new US ambassador Olsen said that he will focus on a crackdown on teh Haqqani network showing that agreements have no worth for the US..maybe they should also sign an agreement with US on other aspects of US involvement in afghanistan...the defence ministry now only has a token political input...
  • Aug01-2012--The favoritism of teh SC also knows no bounds when it comes to teh first judicial son as a SC bench suspended teh JIT for two days as teh arsalan lawyer said that a police SP was favoring the BT 's riaz malik...evidence a clip showing both standing together..hahaha!...teh arsalan evidence is really becoming a joke as teh JIT wanted to go off to the UK to gather evidence...talk of UK summer visits by teh CJ's family and now the JIT also doing teh same...
  • Aug01-2012--two grenades fired at sariab police station in quetta as CJ says FC can restore law and order in balochistan in a week

How it all started...coups and politics and islam and democracy...
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...!
