  • Apr10-2013--Najam Sethi obviously likes holidays so a five day week in punjab...although it can hardly solve teh electricity problems unless industry also staggers two day per week holidays
  • Apr10-2013--SC refuses to arrest the constitution wrecker pervez musharaf suggesting that they are not going to do anything radical in this sphere
  • Apr10-2013--The controversial ISI/police caretaker interior minister ran into further trouble when he said that he would vote for nawaz sharif...earlier he did'nt want to use the army fearing that its reputation would deteriorate...The army has been involved in everything so there is nothing new that they will be doing...
  • Apr10-2013--Dawn says Imran Khan offers "cancer ka ilaj", arranged cricket matches with india... massive price hikes and taxation, no solution on electricity problems and development in a 100 days and the "end of corruption" in 90 days...he says his cancer hospital is better than teh ittefaq hospital while the PPP cannot point to any zardari or benazir hospital...The PPP was cancerously slow inits decision making which resulted in the judiciary attacking their unprincipled attitudes...the judiciary won that battle 3-1...however nawaz sharif might have teh edge in public projects of a larger dimension such as the motorway to swat and a bullet train from peshawar to rawalpindi or lahore for a start...teh PPP offers nothing new and it could not even finish ongoing projects such as the zero point overhead loops and teh new islamabad airport...no major highways were visibly completed even in sindh although three were apparently started...and their only projects in punjab the two highways to chakwal were blocked by teh judiciary...and dawn also suggests that imran khans policy advisors might be asad umer, jehangir tareen and shireen mazari with the politics controlled by javed hashmi and shah mahmood...mostly south punjabis...he probably needs to add a couple of sindhi's, pukhtun's and a baloch...one area thinking he must realize does'nt usually work... imran khan should know that from teh PPP experience!...however many suggest that imran khan given his newness to power might be able to solve some of teh countries chronic problems such as karachi, balochistan and fata...on sectarianism he seems on teh shiite bench like teh PPP and nawaz sharif might have teh edge...

  • Apr9-2013--politicians want security beyond normal measures...recent occurrences include general kiani sending military guards to england for musharaf...approval by raja ashraf of 250 policemen to guard him and 100 policemen to guard yusuf raza gilani...other politicians usually get a vehicle and a few police guards while judges get a police guard at their homes and one travelling with them...commissioners too get police guards and most politicians are assigned one policeman...that is the only activity that the police carries out...the rest includes minor investigations of blasts, robberies and other crimes such as immigration problems etc. Akhter mengal has complained of telephonic and physical threats by invisible forces which are usually carried out by political opponents but also blamed on teh security agencies...such things are normal occurrences in sindh and punjab especially karachi where there are other extortionists as well which include criminal/religious and ethnic desperados...musharaf recently was assigned three police commandos..!General Kiani has an imperial guard with two guards sitting at the ready with weapons in an open hilux..PMlq leaders such as chaudhry shujaat had at one time nine police vehicles stationed at their residences...

  • Apr8-2013--NAB asks the MOP to disconnect 150000 electricity connections if they donot payup by April 4...?load shedding has increased substantially and one can only understand that teh government is refusing to provide fuel as the current production is horrifically low...many say the military, karachi and VIP's eat up most of teh 7000mw available and adding line losses and theft reduces power for teh honest consumer usually teh domestic type to around 3000MW
  • Apr8-2013--akhter mengal has a fairly well attended jalsa in quetta and calls for an end to teh military operation, release of prisoners and abolition of death squads ...many say the process was initiated by teh current interior minister when he was in teh ISI and as an IG and he could bring it to a close...?
  • Apr8-2013--In decisions that are not uniform musharaf was kicked out by three RO's while teh chitral RO allowed him to contest in NA32...however that too could be overruled by teh SC which is hearing five serious cases of breach of discipline and law against the former coup plotter...Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan was stopped in NA 53 and PP7 but allowed in NA49...Pervez Ashraf also known as Raja Rental was knocked out in NA51...in the degree verification process...mir israrullah zehri, tariq magsi, nadir magsi including several others were disqualified over fake degrees...The courts could however look into disqualifications by one RO and approval by another since teh information is the same and only the objections differ...many others also were rejected due to dual nationality and false assets declaration including ghazanfar gul in gujerat, shahid akram bhinder in NA97, Imtiaz safdar warriach in NA98, sheikh waqas in NA89 etc...three Niwanis rejected in NA73/74 and PP49...there have been numerous rejections by RO's this year and election tribunals will have a lot to do to settle teh appeals...

  • Apr6-2013--the courts and FBR get embarassed at teh RO's asking the candidates to explain their finances and basic islamic understanding...teh RO's have apparently been upstaging teh judiciary as usually corrupt people get thru the nomination process...the RO's who are asking the candidates to recite darood and surah's and questioning expenses on foreign travel has delighted many people where most people still suffer abject poverty...politicians lie about everything under teh sun...including their wealth and even whether they can recite an ordinary surah...people have been delighted even more than teh actions of teh failed represssive judiciary and many feel teh failed army and ECB...upto now neither teh courts have been able to control corruption amongst politicians nor generals and neither have teh ECB been able to weed out the troublemakers...although they have disqualified one for propagating against pakistan's ideology...
  • Apr5-2013--a returning officer in chakwal rejected the papers of Ayaz Amir a vitriolic journalist and former PMLn mna for deriding pakistans ideology...In Chiniot NA87 the returning officer rejected the papers of three politicians...syed faisal saleh hayat, syed abid imam s/o of syeda abida hussein also involved in electricity theft and PPP's Syed Abbas shah for not paying their water and electricity bills..returning officers are asking candidates to recite quranic verses and darood and asking about their utility bills, loan defaults and expenditure on foreign travel...!
  • Apr5-2013--In what looks pretty much like PPP orders jamshed dasti was jailed for a fake degree alongwith a KP former minister and a bahawalpur PPP mna...the PPP candidate in muzaffargarh probably jumping up and down in delight...while teh courts have restricted government decisions such as jobs and projects that effect teh outcome of elections but teh ECP has not restricted teh courts for such devastating individually last minute decisions...
  • Apr5-2013--The interior minister turns out tobe a controversial ISI spook who ran the balochistan ISI network says teh dawn...he says election incidents could dent teh bullet proof reputation of the pakistan army and he would not put them out on election day to protect their bullet riddled identity...The ECP has already asked teh armed forces to station troops in and around sensitive polling stations and even station one soldier inside the booths...?many suggest that the armies activities in balochistan and east pakistan have been critisized sufficiently but probably no one would even think that their presence on polling days should be avoided rather than risk trouble...most people now accept that serious law and order situations need teh intervention of teh armed forces whether political or otherwise...however teh FC and rangers are also said tobe sufficiently armed and trained now...the new interior minister malik habib khan also wants to replace teh islamabad IG,DG FIA, DG passports and coordinator NCTA...however his choice of a DIG who assaulted the CJ is considered controversial...IG islamabad bani yamin has had a generally good reputation but obviously having worked with the controversial rehman malik he will be unable to get along as generally happens...

  • Apr2-2013--hazar khan khoso working at a slow tortoise pace installs his 15 member cabinet...including amongst ministers at least one who sold her farm to musharaf some say illegally...suggestions are widely seen amongst commentators asto the loyalties of hazar khan khoso who was a judge during a largely military ruled era...many suggest he might be a musharaf stooge seen also in teh slowness of teh SC to act on musharaf's varied criminal actions...in which i just refer to teh lal masjid and the judges incarceration...

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...!
