The Daily PakistanPolitics 27 Dec, 2012--15 Jan,20


  • 01Jan-2013--while i regard politicians like nawaz sharif, imran khan and asif zardari as quite funny i would put rehman malik as the funniest guy in this government...one he tried to have motorcycles banned...than he said "i just provide intelligence information to provincial governments"...while he cant catch terrorists his first statement about all terrorism is "they came from south waziristan"..than he says "i dont really know what intelligence wala's do"...!!this from a former FIA director...?and someone who can challenge him is the former swiss letter Gilani...whose recent statement is " i really cant understand why the mqm and PMlq are supporting tahir ul qadri..."he also did not understand that he had to write teh swiss letter"...must be empty in the upper quadrant many say..?
  • 01Jan-2013--dextromethorphan a usual ingredient of cough syrups like Benadryl banned in islamabd as it is blamed for teh death of 19 people...
  • 01Jan-2013--HEC considers a uniform testing system as students now have a complicated task at a young age to just qualify for admissions to professional institutions even if they are very good students
  • 01Jan-2013--maulana Aziz of teh lal masjid appears before a one woman SC commission and suggests that protests started after the musharaf regime ordered the removal of 80 illegal mosques in islamabad...commisssion enquiring into how many were killed as government said that 103 were killed including 11 army personnel and 16 passersby......an ISi driver said that teh army shot dead his son as he came out after prayers while another said that he was told that his brother had been buried in grave 148...in which they found burnt out bones in a bag...Aziz blamed musharaf rather than teh army which generally followed a faulty strategy...musharaf had indicated that he had ordered all remaining inside the mosque tobe killed...the army just watched initially with a helicopter gunship stationed overhead which was under orders to blowup the mosque if anybody was seen carrying a rocket launcher...however things deteriorated steadily and the army finally moved in and eliminated everyone inside including unarmed women young and old...maulana aziz now says he does not want revenge even though a longlist of terrorist events followed which are regarded as retaliatory attacks...
  • 01Jan-2013--like all the other shortages created by teh Zardari-PPP regime islamabad-rawalpindi faced a severe petrol crisis with long lines which raja ashraf said was due to hazy weather...difficult to believe as petrol is not considered a volatile commodity that vanishes like gas, electricity and CNG....!!
  • 01Jan-2013--It seems that the CEC will have to decide all the caretakers to be and the only thing on PPP minds is whether shahbaz sharif will announce elections on the same day as their governments ie apart from military rule thru qadri or Kiani or someone else...such things have happened and teh SC and army could support another round of PPP accountability which everyone knows can take upto three years...!!!...national elections should be 60 days from March 16...one does not know how many days before that teh CEC will be asked to select the caretakers...The punjab government completes its term on April 8th...if there is a problem than punjab provincial elections will be held later and could be to the benefit of the PMLn if they are in charge during teh national elections...?
  • 01Jan-2013--mqm retaliates with violence as its worker is shot dead in a saddar karachi area...setting on fire cars, homes and bussinesses...a punjabi PPP worker was also shot dead...PPP sources say the mqm set fire to each and every property belonging to PPP area leader imtiaz khattak...On average 5.45 people are shot dead in karachi every day says teh dawn mostly due to political violence
  • 01Jan-2013--PPP's Ogra chief has escaped from teh country SC told...court suggests that NAB initiate procedures to bring him back from Nepal or Dubai...as Asif Zardari many say asks teh Abu Dhabi leader if he can provide teh PPP with a safe haven if required...
  • 01Jan-2013--Balochistan assembly as usual selects matiullah agha and fouzia marri as speaker and deputy speaker...BHC rejects Bhootani petition that he was following SC orders and that the procedures adopted were illegal and showed misuse of authority as voters showed beaurocrats who they were voting for...
  • 01Jan-2013--military bombs two supposed non combatant homes in tirah killing 14
  • 01Jan-2013--nine militants found dead in north waziristan which many assume tobe a military retaliation for 22 Levies eliminated by teh taleban or an internecine fight between ahmedzai wazirs and the mehsuds...

  • 01Jan-2013--PPP raises gas prices and raises rates for military, government and educational institutions...cement industry gets teh highest rate of Rs 742 per MMBTU followed by CNG at Rs656...slight increase in tandoor rates and commercial rates also rise to 636
  • 01Jan-2013--ANP jumps out of its position of ruthlessly clearing Fata of militants and suggests that teh center negotiate with the taleban...!!
  • 01Jan-2013--The canadian mullah story turned even more devious/dubious as the other pro military/ISI rule grouping the PMlq also came out in favour of tahir ul qadri showing almost a clear PPP hand in teh situation..after numerous constitutional amendments they still want electoral reforms and an honest caretaker...politicians and mullahs not known for honesty so it is gobbledygook or machiavellian at best...many see attempts at encouraging teh army to coup indirectly and bring the military supporting groups to power or as some are calling him the "american priest"...situations similar to when ayub khan, zulfikar ali bhutto and nawaz sharif neared the ends of their rule...!!With teh PPP regarded as a sure loser they obviously would prefer a kiani rather than a nawaz sharif or imran khan in power...!!
  • 31Dec-2012--a prayer leader shot dead in possible sectarian attack in karachi
  • 31Dec-2012--two soldiers die in north waziristan explosion...gunship helicopters pound residential compounds in teh area
  • 31Dec-2012--the trouble making MQM again ditches the PPP as it announces that it will join the qadri long march on Jan14...thruout its coalition history the mqm has only caused trouble having a more street based nature...many feel that Mullah Qadri could be a PPP-ISI stooge and teh mqm would like tobe onits bandwagon
  • 31Dec-2012--PPP-PMLq alliance in trouble as PMLf moves into punjab and mustafa khar becomes the punjab leader of the PMLf...Pmlq could just as easily win a similar number of seats with an alliance with the sindh-seraiki based PMLf...both PMlq and PPP seem tobe in trouble in teh punjab
  • 31Dec-2012--remote car bomb attack on three buses packed with shiites going to iran..one bus destroyed 23 killed mostly from punjab
  • 30Dec-2012--22 levies men who were kidnapped three days ago found dead

  • 29Dec-2012--seven killed in drone attack in north waziristan
  • 29Dec-2012--three shot dead in quetta as bhootani challenges his removal in BHC..NAB says violating secrecy of oath in balochistan assembly elections is corruption or misuse of authority
  • 29-Dec-2012--given obvious PPP attempts to play up tahir ul qadri aka teh canadian mullah the PMln expresses doubts about the PPP intentions and calls for an immediate announcement of the poll date...a poll date can only be announced after a caretaker setup is agreed upon and no open negotiations on that front are visible...with tahir ul qadri suggesting that he is willing to become the dubious caretaker...?The PMLn expressed amazement at the PPP attacking teh judiciary in garhi ghudabaksh when even teh accused are saying that the PPP has deliberately slowed down the Benazir case with a huge witness list in the anti terrorist courts...The PPP's price hiking weak economy is tobe challenged by teh dubious asian tiger agenda of teh PMLn which does not take into consideration the huge energy constraints on teh economy...many suppose that the PMLn will turn the table on teh PPP's anti punjabi agenda which restricts gas and electricity to punjab's industry and consumers
  • 29Dec-2012--the offer of dialogue by teh taleban peppered with more conditions...now hakeemullah mehsud wants them to break off relations with the USA...a video suggests that he and waliur rehman who also wanted teh taleban leadership early on are supposedly alive...they suggest that they are against democracy and for an islamic system...what many find strange is that they have been fighting mostly against governments in muslim countries rather than the USA or other non muslim states...pakistan has been a US agent in the area since teh fifties and one doubts that pakistan can become free of teh US even to the extent of teh countries governance...one can only suppose that unless some sort of real negotiations take place it would be up to mullah umar to stop at least teh violence if and when the americans leave and if teh afghans can reach an agreement with thederstanding that they would get teh speakers position..Bhootani was apparently from teh PMln...!!
  • 28Dec-2012--20 levies personnel kidnapped in FR peshawar while law enforcing agencies retaliate against attackers property
  • 28Dec-2012--Asif Zardari seeks a subjugated party and duped candidates with no ideas of their own...Bilawal Zardari looks like a gimmick without ideas and giving the PPP another chance would probably mean more problems for the people than solutions...His sindh only party seems to have few chances of success without a viable country oriented populist program and one sees very few takers for his regional zardarism or what can be called a docile democracy which refuses to budge...he continued to plug teh failed Gilani and many feel that PPP has already givenup in most parts of teh country...the security was controlled by 15000 policemen and helicopters overhead suggesting that it may not be wise for Bilawal to tour teh country or for that matter Zardari...many feel that only local leaders will be spearheading teh PPP campaigns...however others feel that teh PPP rank and file could be galvanized by what upto now is just a pretty face
  • 28Dec-2012--ANP open to negotiations with taleban if terrorism is ended and government figures agree to process
  • 27Dec-2012--A taleban letter surfaces suggesting a ceasefire offered by the punjab TTP...the conditions being that the constitution be rewritten, afghan war ended and a renewed rivalry with india...they regard the ANP and MQM as enemies and the PTI, PMLn , JUI and JI as acceptable parties...The taleban have nothing to achieve with teh afghan war drawing to a close and the army isolating them in Fata...with probably a dwindling supply of suicide bombers negotiations to end teh tribal war are the only solution however teh taleban not known to have negotiating tendencies
  • 27Dec-2012--The ECP assured of full army cooperation although coming out of teh meeting CEC says new delimitations in karachi not possible...many had already suggested that new delimitations with say a 30-60% mohajir content uniformly distributed across all seats would cause a complete sweep by teh mqm...army chief probably drove home that fact...delimitations could also many say increase karachi seats due to the general increase in urban populations...with the number of voters known across teh country teh EC should theoretically create a new delimitation base creating either more seats or dividing teh population equitably across all seats...EC secretary however said that political parties still mulling suggestions and there could possibly be something new...
  • 27Dec-2012--balochistan assembly removes speaker Bhootani...Raisani support falls to 47 in a house of 65..Bhootani alleges wrong procedures in which teh secretary of the assembly was also removed...The JUI-f supported teh motion with the understanding that they would get teh speakers position..Bhootani was apparently from teh PMln...!!
  • 27Dec-2012--The PPP continued playing with the death of Benazir on her 5th anniversary and continued calling the Zardari's bhuttos...The PPP claims that they had all teh information about the attacks planning but still let her go to her death..many blame her security consultants and asif zardari(to the extent that his children were also somebody elses) who was holding meetings with his sindhi friends in dubai..however rumours of asif zardaris involvement have persisted...The PPP almost a lame duck for teh past year as their support levels fell consistently as they failed to solve any problems...they now have a total animosity towards the people and seem to have brought in Tahirul Qadri to suggest some sort of army participation in the interim setup...They have no information still on who initiated the attacks on her with those being blamed including musharaf, the ISI, police, IB, pervez elahi, bilawal house staff, some sindhi mullah, baitullah masud, asif zardari, rehman malik, baber awan etc...many look at her successors as having possible motive...the uneducated zardari who slipped into teh country and dressed as a qari gave Bilal teh suicide bomber teh orders to go ahead...!!teh devious recalcitrant Yusuf Gilani who could have given seraiki nationalists or seraiki terrorists teh order to do it since he was teh surprise choice of the weak unstable Asif Zardari...or as many say it could have been ijaz ul haq or even the murtaza bhutto widow(both known to dislike her intensely)...whoever dies or gets killed is alleged to have participated with some even suggesting that Bashir Bilour had a role amongst many other candidates or perhaps professor ghafoor or the former chief minister of sindh or his brother or even zardari's father who disliked her politics and accused her of destroying his family..although many feel that the alqeda-indian agent sherry rehman told her to standup in teh sunroof and wave to her supporters...or the theory that as Benazir sidelined amin fahim in london he conspired with maulana fazlur rehman and ordered a hit.........however the PPP has failed to clarify its own role and many have tumbled amongst them while others are kept in power as the PPP refuses to remove all its failures...however teh alleged gang of twelve has not been able to provide teh information on who gave teh orders and teh trial is still under way although not much is heard about it in the press...most now believe that she died of a dent in her forehead caused by either a snipers bullet or hitting the sunroof...the ppp hauled in scotland yard but clarification was not achieved..They now say that there is nothing more to find...as they have killed baitullah masood...in a way benazir dies every day and the PPP with no policies and leaders resuscitates her thru advertisements the next(there are seven big advertisments from sindh only in just the daily dawn today)...in a way the PPP has become a government of advertisments(ishtahari hakumat) as no one in punjab will really stand up for them...the zardaris policies have isolated them to sindh and others are becoming their agents in other provinces and places...their big hope is the seraiki sooba but many state that could also be their final epitah...here lies the PPP with no bhuttos left died an ignominous death for ever...!...with zardari a big failure teh PPP now expected to turn to the son not as in north korea though...even though he apparently attends government meetings and gets the 10 SHO protection...In pakistan these days police protection can make a difference even though politicians oppose the police generally...
  • 27Dec-2012--The PPP is defined by the following news items...whopping increase expected in CNG and electricity prices...also suggestions that baloch assembly members had to show who they were voting for to beaurocrats given teh air of suspiciosness that prevails...and kaira's suggestion that it was they who are suggesting army involvement in teh interim setup and tahir ul qadri apparently just a PPP-mqm stooge..?however the PPP can make anything controversial...even polio drops...as 250 LHW's refuse to participate in a polio drops campaign in rawalpindi despite assurance of police protection...
  • 27Dec-2012--In mqm city an ASWJ strike was successful against a gun attack on their leader
  • 27Dec-2012--governor punjab says he will remain in PML-F as pir pagara to visit punjab and nawaz sharif suggests governors also be replaced before elections...professor ghafoor of teh JI dies who with bhutto met teh coup plotting ayub khan junta in 1958...and negotiated with bhutto after teh rigged 1977 elections...although PPP still claiming that they did this and that in the 1970's and 1990's...!!!

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...!
