The Daily PakistanPolitics Sep1-15, 2012


  • Sep15-2012--The LHC bench considering asif zardari for contempt has put off the hearing till Sept 21 when they will hear his lawyer...apart from not writing teh swiss letter on SC orders he is also refusing to give up teh PPP co chair on LHC orders...he would be replaced by his son so at best his son would be incharge who apparently spends more time in france than larkana...and who thinks the sindhis problem is filtered drinking water rather than anything else...!
  • Sep15-2012--protests against US religious insults in major pakistani cities...The US inability to understand that such insulting attitudes will cause serious problems is portrayed by the idiotic hilary clinton who says film was insulting but it should not have resulted in teh killing of an ambassador when US warships have started to move towards libya when only....!!
  • Sep15-2012--The PPP has strange norms...In punjab they blame everything on shabaz sharif...they even have a sharjeel memon who keeps blaming nawaz sharif for happenings in sindh...However in sindh teh chief minister is not blamed for anything...neither terrorism nor sudden LG division of sindh or even industrial incidents of teh baldia kind..however teh sindh industrial minister who should have been arrested for allowing such things to happen has resigned...he gets praise from teh mqm instead of blame and castigations...
  • Sep15-2012--to keep control teh army chief has reinducted NLC generals involved in a 1.8 billion rupee scam and after initial investigations is considering possible army justice...!!
  • Sep15-2012--one of teh PMLn's possible caretakers nominees has dropped out...sardar attaullah mengal thinks it is a joke and not tobe taken seriously...
  • Sep14-2012--ten labourers gunned down in mastung by the united baloch army, six tribesmen killed in khuzdar
  • Sep14-2012--strike in sindh against new LG law
  • Sep14-2012--the PMLn has in its possible caretakers Asma jehangir, shakirullah jan, nasir aslam zahid, mahmood khan achakzai,qazi hussain ahmed, rasool baksh palejo and attaullah mengal...PTI reccommends teh controversial Shoaib suddle and abdul razzak dawood...the names are pretty controversial and probably nasir aslam zahid would stand an outside chance of success...
  • Sep13-2012--death toll in karachi factory fire rises to 258...showing teh pathetic sindhi political apathy to governmental work compared to killings and political fighting...rescue services seem to have been unable to save the victims... all exits were apparently locked...some saved their lives by jumping from second floor windows...the building seems to have been a fire hazard...similarly in DG khan teh khosa's despite high profile jobs have been unable to deal with teh areas problems as the area suffers repeated flooding problems..preferring infighting with teh chief minister...!
  • Sep12-2012--four 132 KV power pylons blownup in charsadda
  • Sep12-2012--The governments inability to understand the power sector and its failed reformed system in which wapda control on teh power sector was dismantled was again apparent as a man on extensions was appointed teh acting wapda chief...and the acting LESCO chief a junior whose appointment was suspended by teh LHC as the ministry of power and primeminister can no longer appoint distribution company chiefs...sharafat sial who took teh case to court suggested that he was removed illegally...it is the same thing as the governments suggestion that coal will somehow solve teh countries energy problems...it is only building capacity to meet all electricity demand that will solve teh issue...in these months 40% electricity comes from cheap hydel but still teh government raises prices showing teh confused Nepra situation...and load shedding continues despite teh ability to generate maximum hydel energy...
  • Sep12-2012--General Kiani who is sometimes referred to as teh PPP or NRO general has his reappointment on a generous extension by the PPP been challenged in the government controlled IHC...by retired armed forces officers under the army act...Theoretically General Kiani cannot serve beyond 20 April 2012 his date of retirement...who suggest that his reappointment for three years is illegal...they also suggest that he was teh NRO negotiator and teh reason why teh SC/LHC is hesitant in kicking out Asif Zardari because he gauarantees teh NRO even after parliament and teh SC refused to approve it...The army chief might thus be above teh other institutions power wise...
  • Sep12-2012--With the ephedrine scam being linked to teh numerous pharma companies in teh country ANF says that PMLn mna hanif abbasi obstructing investigations who seems tobe teh owner of several pharma companies...
  • Sep12-2012--SC might rue restarting reviews as malik riaz now challenges the arsalan review as SC issues new decisions in a review for teh first time inits history...usually reviews are restricted to rejecting the opposition to a judgement and no new issues are raised or allowed tobe litigated...many suggest that the SC has started to behave like a sessions court in teh matter because a son of teh CJ is involved...
  • Sep12-2012--43 burnt alive in two factory fires in lahore and karachi
  • Sep12-2012--heavy rains cause floodings in nasirabad, jacobabad, dg khan, rajanpur and some areas of of sindh

  • Sep9-2012--The PMLf, PMLq, NPP and ANp all resign from teh sindh government opposing the PPP position of only listening to teh mqm on teh local body issue...The PPP with its position in sindh brittle at best has preferred teh mqm support base to keep it in power and has preferred to allow teh mqm almost total control in karachi and hyderabad...many wonder at what teh PPP has achieved in almost four and half years of talks...altaf hussein goes bonkers on strike call on 13th...
  • Sep9-2012--Security forces have regained control of teh bajaur border after teh taleban fled...
  • Sep9-2012--ANF declares PPP's Ali Musa Gilani and Makhdoom Shahabuddin as absconders in teh ephedrine case

  • Sep9-2012--india and pakistan continue their animosity prone relations with india insisting that pakistan buy a manmohan singh visit thru concessions on terrorists...while teh indians refuse to solve or discuss anything else meanwhile or as usual...visa's tobe now processed in 45 days instead of three months with bussinessmen to get year long visas based on wealth...india wants pakistan to put them on a pedestal without really being nice enough while hina rabbani khar wants bygones tobe bygones...kashmir too many question..when the indians cant even forget bombay..?
  • Sep9-2012--Rimsha masih released on bail in burning papers case and police shift her and her family to a safe place via helicopter...the case has been fought on religious biases and everyone has become an accused as well as a complainant..many feel that the case could easily have been decided appropriately without teh liberals and christians mounting an international propaganda campaign...basically it is hurting religious feelings and teh burning of teh quran that is supposedly prosecutable and the judge could easily have decided that there is no basis for prosecution..however torn pieces of teh quran can be legally burnt...others feel that christians attempt to use teh process for land grabs and foreign visa's or foreign relocation while the local religious groups use it to show teh governments contempt for religious issues and raise religious sentiments/fervour...
  • Sep8-2012--1434 people get Rs112.3 billion of bank loans written off in PPP era...UBL wrote off 28 billion and HBL and MCB 16 billion each

  • Sep8-2012--PPP's mqm based new LG law angers ANP and PMLf which call it a virtual bifurcation of Sindh...ANP's sindh minister resigns and ANP walks out in anger from NA and senate..PMlf to also quit sindh government
  • Sep8-2012--SP police shot dead in quetta..LJ claims killing
  • Sep7-2012--Sindh government advisor shot dead in karachi
  • Sep7-2012--SC orders freezing of information ministry secret funds which teh ministry uses to buy journalists, place government sponsored news and some say even run a secret television channel...or even propaganda campaigns..!
  • Sep6-2012--the withering wafting PPP rule causes the pliant deferential LHC to again issue fresh notices for Sept 14 to asif zardari on holding of a political party office as AG does not appear...one does not know what the LHC wants to do as contempt and illegality of dual offices are different effects...The LHC should rule on dual offices and ask the asif zardari to relinquish his party office or go home for good...
  • Sep6-2012--The PPP regime which has tried to suggest that terrorism, ethnicism and sectarianism will die out without doing anything introduces a new variation to doing nothing..the suspect Fair Trial Bill or in effect a new variant on what the intelligence agencies should already be doing...it suggests that the agencies can invade the peoples privacy in their homes ,communications and computers if required and a person can be jailed for six months by a judge in his chambers on such evidence...however many people donot know that a passenger's conversation on a plane can be recorded...however the agencies have been unable many say to position undercover agents within sectarian, ethnic and terrorist organisations and one maulana says the terrorists still function or restart on agency orders...!!many also say that ISI still organises terrorist events...Upto now the judges have refused to put people behind bars who teh intelligence agencies say are terrorist..many observers suggest that some of teh sectarianism is due to shiite organizations in fighting which cud also include teh government sponsored ismaili's...The government has been unable to apprehend motorcycle killers in karachi and balochistan despite all modern paraphernalia...It is teh desire to get off ones haunches and act to interdict terrorism, ethnicism and sectarianism which will cause the effects of creating militant warlords in various spheres of internal and external policies to end in teh long run...the bill controversially makes pakistanis susceptible to agencies wrangling even overseas and on planes...
  • Sep5-2012--Imran plans a cautious Oct 6 invasion of Fata with some foreign observers...while seven militants are killed in the bajaur war and teh foreign office says "drones...never heard of them"...
  • Sep5-2012--The shiite dominated PPP and media(civil soceity) have shown a malicious trend that while the religious laws on blasphemy are wrong when a christian girl is involved they serve their purpose when a supposedly sunni maulvi gets caught in teh web...while teh christians prefer to use teh occasion to attempt land grabs even though there have been no particular evictions from teh area concerned..many suggest that teh 2.5 million hindu/christian votes are what teh politicians are after..!in punjab teh minorities support the PMLn while they go for teh PPP in sindh...!
  • Sep5-2012--The mqm seemingly has given up its demand of more powerful status local governments in karachi and hyderabad since they are now in harmony with the antagonistic sindhi PPP..even though teh PPP has not caught any of the motorcycle killers whether sectarian or ethnic or balochi...while the slow and sleepy sindh governor could still not issue the new ordinance...many feel the PPP has been seeking one of teh two top positions in the mohajir areas including mayor of karachi...and mqm eyeing more provincial ministries...!
  • Sep5-2012--punjab assembly passes resolution against the punjab only breakup commission...one can hardly understand how parties without any mandate on the issues can start breaking up teh countries provinces...The PMLn has an unsteady but popular position in that the commission if only dealing with punjab should have only punjab members as teh PPP has not engaged anybody else in matters of other provinces...also the position of early elections when teh scheduled date is seven months away hardly makes sense...The PPP has been unable to deal with matters in most provinces despite having in teh coalition the problem allies...!
  • Sep5-2012--many feel that the threat of a disqualification under a SHC ruling to hold local body elections has forced teh PPP and mqm to agree to suddenly hold local body elections in sindh...many feel that asif zardari could face removal if he does not retire from teh PPP chairmanship...According to teh PMLn the PPP has never held local body elections before...while kaira suddenly after four and half years comes out for local body elections which he says are a provincial matter...?many suggest that an independent caretaker setup and teh increasing possibility that teh PPP maybe wiped out in the next elections has forced teh PPP...The PPP is regarded as a general failure in keeping peace in most troublespots...in the country
  • Sep4-2012--curfew in north waziristan as terrorism escalates...
  • Sep4-2012--In a major escalation taleban attack a US consulate SUV in peshawar with a suicide car killing possibly two americans...
  • Sep4-2012--with elections around teh corner almost teh PPP wants to make a show of cornering teh PMLn in behind teh scenes negotiations on breaking up punjab and caretaket setups...The PMLn wants a commission to takeup new provinces in all provinces...things wont be brought under control unless teh country splits into very small provinces and most of teh real problem areas are outside teh punjab...?
  • Sep4-2012--Asif Zardari worried about poll outcome even in sindh...urges mqm to agree to LG polls without devolving provincial subjects...many feel that PPP might be willing to accept MQM dictation...others want mqm to go alongwith reopening of mqm cases under NRO to appease SC...!
  • Sep3-2012--another nine militants killed in bajaur border war
  • Sep3-2012--PPP fails to live up to mqm expectations of a karachi province within sindh...refuses to devolve provincial subjects...PPP had expected teh mqm to agree to LG polls as new electoral rolls could make teh PPP suffer...no possibility of pre election LG polls...
  • Sep2-2012--fighting continues in the salrzai area of bajaur as another five die...
  • Sep2-2012--AG also critisizes the SC verdict on arsalan review and says that teh court should recognize teh independent status of teh FTO and should listen to teh AG's views...

  • Sep2-2012--in the famous christian girl blasphemy case a muezzin accuses prayer leader of adding torn pages of quran to the girls burnt pages...prayer leader arrested...teh court should first decide what is blasphemy and burning torn pages of religious text is not...many suggest that blasphemy should be only charged in really serious cases...
  • Sep1-2012--Dawn mocks Imran khans statement that he will control corruption in 90 days...Ayub Khan banned all the major politicians suggesting they were responsible for the political and corruption mess...The military coups attempted to bring in younger leaders to change teh situation but eventually the old order would reemerge......The only political leader to make some overall attempt was ZA Bhutto who fired 303(an old style military gun) officers in his first attempt...to solve loan defaults he tookover almost the entire industrial infrastructure...Imran Khan would probably have to fire a much larger number to have an effect and that too if teh intelligence agencies have proper data...later attempts were the zia era political victimisation...politisized Ehtesab bureau in teh Nawaz Sharif era and later on NAB and teh swiss cases in teh musharaf era which tried to get back unpaid loans and corruption payouts...the PPP nowadays only tries to blame nawaz sharif or the punjab government and usually fails...PPP attempts to use accusations to get others to backoff have usually backfired resulting in the NRO controversy...some attempts were made by teh military to control electricity theft at the higher end too...however the PPP has literally brought all system attempts to a zero as several of its top leaders are accused of corruption...The SC attempts in teh rental power case, moonis elahi corruption, hajj-gilani corruption also saw only minor movement on the issues...the latest of which is the CJ son's corruption who extorted funds from the bahria town in exchange for no movement on cases against them...?Many feel that teh arsalan case is a fit case for teh Supreme Judicial council as all teh judges would have to participate in slowing down bahria town cases...!!..In the ayub khan era most corruption was blamed on low level officialdom while slowly and steadily almost everyone from teh armed forces, politicians, contractors and beaurocrats are now blamed alongwith some political parties and industrial families who have institutionalized it to achieve riches and join in teh loot maar of the upper echelons in pakistan's soceity...The police while always being blamed have lost much of the prestige and power as well as teh will to collect...Imran Khan has also to realize that the police actually is the basis for the governments to survive in this country as they provide teh protection...Many feel that the muslim league has always gotten away with corruption while others usually have been forced to at least face cases...One of the major ways for a new government to gain control over corruption is to prepare and appoint as many new faces as possible and remove the known corrupt from the beaurocracy immediately as a first step after taking power...
  • Sep1-2012--Mullahs protest Unicef attitude in KP that they are paid for cooperation on EPI vaccinations...while Peshawar HC wants Fata brought under teh jurisdiction of teh superior courts
  • Sep1-2012--Singh snubs Asif zardari who was begging for the indian to visit who as they say became highhanded and suggested that he should create the right atmosphere...many have suggested that teh PPP attempt to suggest that Manmohan singh will make some major concession on kashmir during his visit seems to have failed...
  • Sep1-2012--NAB questions teh SC judgement transferring the arsalan extortion case to the Tax Ombudsmen former IG Suddle...it says it will investigate its own procedures...many feel that arsalan iftikhar thinks he should be treated like a VIP as does teh bahria town chief...many feel teh SC judges have stepped away from known procedures in attempts to protect a judicial son..Theoretically NAB is not authorized to investigate teh higher judiciary and it should have been given to teh FIA to investigate...which included mostly checking up on records...

  • Sep1-2012--raja ashraf says we too are now defacing teh constitution like teh martial law addicts by including literally what would be considered heresy in constitution and the pakistan resolution terms...like the unpopular seraiki province being forced down punjab's throat...earlier the teh PPP had forced the name change of nwfp...many suggest that major changes in teh constitution should be put to a referendum...the constitution is now a hodge podge and the PPP is literally killing teh pakistan resolution which was teh basis of pakistan...new provinces will create further schisms in teh already known problem areas of development distribution, water distribution and financial distribution...The country has already been brought to a standstill as teh PPP refuses to fund power generation schemes to fill the huge void created over teh years of financial misallocations...many suggest that the 1973 constitution was completely different to what is in operation now...many feel that teh PPP, ANP and MQM are attempting to breakup punjab to alleviate the feeling of weaknesses in teh smaller provinces which have always been jealous of teh punjab...!!however many feel that it could increase the bases for anarchic reactions on a differential basis...

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...!
