  • Jan15-2013--Dawn which generally seems to have pro shiite leanings suggests that the war against balochistan's hazara's is due to the nationalist-religious mix and teh rise of a baloch LG faction run by asif chotu and having militants like usman kurd, ramzan mengal and gul hasan...militant organisations fight for organisational superiority thru terrorist incidents...teh attack had certain aspects similar to fata and DIK incidents...many others suggest that terrorists in karachi and balochistan are teh same with the karachi faction more anti sunni than teh baloch faction...many suggest that while teh nationalist terrorists go after teh punjabis the LJ goes after hazara's who have most of teh jobs in balochistan...hazara's said to be iranian immigrants to afghanistan who migrated to balochistan in teh 1880's after persecution in afghanistan...that could possibly make them targets of teh afghan affiliated taleban too...many suggest that iran funding small shiite groupsing yto achieve political superiority while shiites blame saudi funding of sunni militants

  • Jan14-2013--In what can best be described as qadri magic...PPP's joke with pakistan's governance finally ended as governor rule was imposed on balochistan...After raisani refused to return from exile in dubai where he had stated that "punjab and terrorists do not let him do anything..."raisani who can best be described as a "kaghzi sher" had started out without an opposition as all the mpa's had been allotted government positions...democracy cannot function effectively without a viable opposition...balochistan barring the seperatist terrorism and bugti crisis had been relatively peaceful but as teh PPP non governance emerged with its price hikes, gas and electricity shortages...terrorism and sectarianism took off in balochistan with quetta literally having a terrorism a day philosophy and was only a close match to karachi and fata in a total lack of governance...with teh PPP restricting parliament only to legislation PPP governance steadily drifted into an avoidance of reality...with terrorists striking at will and coalition partners dubious and street opponents the PPP's philosophy of monarchism, dynasty rule and non resolution of problems literally is now grovelling in teh dust...democracy just cannot mix with dynasties and monarchist tendencies...there have tobe some aspects of populism and popularity...PPP's mein philosophy and "we have also suffered" slowly slided into non effective governance with the judiciary-Gilani bouts ending any aspects of what was considered as General Kiani'strongman rule...PPP cliches and speeches started to sound hollow and teh terrorists started getting bolder with balochistan slowly sliding into some sort of LJ/iran linked anti hazara terrorism orientation...literally hazara's were being shot in the street until the latest extreme violence which led to a hazara led shiite protest with coffins on teh streets...many feel that rehman malik often refered to as "Benazirs hangman" was a major cause of the the internal security failures alongwith teh extension ridden General Kiani...with PPP increasingly looking like a has been and wanting elections tobe delayed as long as possible everyone was looking for their demise even before teh elections...The 18th amendment which they had said would not allow provincial adventurism has finally failed...The PPP policy of die and let live or "kahin qatil..kahin mqm...kahin police...kahin FC...kahin army... kahin terrorists" just does not work..It just seems tobe a replay of teh Bhutto remarks ..."idher hum udher tum"...The attempt at weakening teh federation and strengthening the provinces only works to some extent in punjab and for teh zardaris in sindh..the smaller provinces weaker economically and no really popular political parties have had to fight for their lives against terrorists and secessionists as punjab enjoyed its preeminence in facile development...pakistan can only work with a strong and controlling center and an overall development mechanism...

  • Jan12-2013--In what can be described as a major coup for raja ashraf he was able to frighten altaf hussein with teh quetta incidents and as they say in politics mqm ran with it's tail between its legs from tehrir square even before it had started...The cold and ongoing threats of numerous bombings was enough for the karachi based mqm to run back into the PPP coalition...however according to latest reports tahir ul qadri has refused to giveup...altaf hussein's supporters had already refused to travel to islamabad and many say they just saw it as an opportunity to collect more funds...tahir ul qadri in typical shiite style sought common cause with imam hussein and said the government was visibly involved in terrorism and he would brave teh threats even as teh cold persisted in islamabad...islamabad administration many say preparing to defuse teh protest march as courts turn down attempts to legally stop the march...

  • Jan11-2013--Rehman Malik's if's and but's on teh Qadri march...many say PPP wavering on stopping marchers at rawat and golra sharif...The PPP now a very weak party is unable to match the huge jalsa's of teh opposition in the punjab as it's lacklustre performance continued with literally a total stoppage of gas to domestic consumers for teh third straight winter as prices of atta climbed to Rs850 for twenty kilo's...
  • Jan11-2013--The anti pakistan altaf hussein attacked teh quaid e azam for taking over as governor general of pakistan...he also threatened an on-off again movement for a seperate province if local polls ere not held...in karachi at least local polls have become meaningless as it is the richest and most advanced city which anyone can manage...he also seemed to suggest that he is under threat from terrorist mqm workers as he refused to come back to pakistan despite there being no governmental restrictions which were imposed on teh earlier absconders the PPP and PMLn...altaf hussein has made a mockery of his coalition with the PPP by ordering assassinations, riots and now wants to threateningly march on islamabad...coalition partners are not supposed to demonstrate against teh government as they are part of it...

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...!
