  • Mar09-2013--raja ashraf says he deserves a shaoaib suddle commission to get him off the hook of the 28 billion RPP scams...that means raja is crooked but teh commission would say so was arsalan iftikhar and yusuf gilani and so was asif zardari...!

  • Mar08-2013--The PPP in sindh launched an operation in lyari after two intelligence personnel were found killed in a graveyard..however no operation was launched after teh abbas town blast...after teh attack given mqm and shiite behaviour with gunmen in the streets many felt it could have been a failed mqm attempt to announce a unilateral declaration of independence...with farook sattar threatening attacks in other parts of teh country and teh sindh police suddenly playing dead many feel that the mohajirs are still bent on dividing teh country...
  • Mar08-2013--The PPP's terrible discordant economic policies continue...increasing gas prices for the poor to middle income and giving the rich agricultural lobby a huge Rs16 billion electricity subsidy...
  • Mar08-2013--As if the excessive price hikes by teh PPP were not enough Nawaz Sharif wants to double taxes and obviously increase prices similarly ..not a solution that has not been already tried...taxes have gone from teh millions to teh trillions without any solution to teh economy in which teh entire federal deficit is equivalent to the doleout to teh provinces...solving teh energy crisis seems tobe a long term task for them too and if load shedding in gas and electricity in punjab continues for another two years they will have lost teh support of teh people...if a solution is not arrived at...which shahbaz sharif says will cause him to resign...!
  • Mar08-2013--General kayani who can be described as a failure alongwith asif zardari/rehman malik apparently discussed their failure over five years to end terrorism in teh country...while suicide bombers might now be a vanishing breed the more devastating car bombs have taken over and both teh PPP says are untraceable...The PPP has been unable to deal with security problems in balochistan, sindh and KP...instead of dealing with those problems and solving them they kept attacking teh punjab...the PPP should have been attacking teh sindh and balochistan governments which were failing in their jobs...attacking organisations in punjab is obviously not teh solution...operations should be mounted in quetta and karachi rather than running death squads by teh mqm and intelligence/corp commanders...many say general kayani who should be applying for LPR seems keen on staying on even after teh PPP...The PPP could help teh country a great deal by appointing a new army chief and transferring teh police chiefs in sindh and balochistan...the sindhi natured PPP has not been able to appoint police chiefs on merit and have kept trying to promote sindhi's and seraiki's...their avoidance of arresting killers in karachi and dealing with the balochistan crisis have caused teh country to suffer...
  • Mar07-2013--Brig Ali Khan teh General kayani nemesis who suggested that teh army chief be replaced after abbottabad had also asked all generals to giveup their agricultural lands and plots that they take as perks to defend teh country...The military than court martialled him for being a hizb ul tahrir spy...In similar contrast Imran Khan suggest that he will confiscate all illegal properties of nawaz Sharif and Asif zardari...however polls suggest that imran khan may be losing his magic...as he captures sardar sikander hayat from teh PPP in Attock...
  • Mar07-2013--Another three shot dead in karachi as nine are killed in a military-militant clash in orakzai
  • Mar07-2013--The PPP in what many see as its attempt to belittle nawaz sharif and teh punjab assembly passed teh 24th constitution bill in teh senate to create a bahawalpur janoobi punjab province which has little chance of success as it theoretically cannot pass teh national assembly and teh punjab provincial assembly..there was no discussion at any stage either in teh senate or teh committees...such a bill should at least have seen all members of teh senate speaking on it but it was bulldozed without any effort at even a nominal democratic process ...bahawalpur opposes its inclusion in teh province...The PPP has tried to bypass its own mandate as well as the people in making such a totally anti constitutional and anti pakistan amendment...The PMLn and the punjab assembly had opposed teh new province commission formation and they termed it anti pakistan...The JUI-f did not participate in discussions and voting while teh PMLf and PMLn walked out...many regard it as a last ditch effort by PPP to save some seats in teh three divisions of bahawalpur, DG khan and multan and districts of bhakakr and mianwali ....the attempt to placate bahawalpur by naming it as teh capitol have not apparently succeeded...DG khan too many suggest is baloch dominated...The mqm and PMLq showed that they have no mind of their own as mushahid hussain said that it was like opening a pandora's box and destroying teh four state concept of pakistan and doing things without thinking of teh consequences...zafar ul haq termed it anti punjab and anti pakistan and zafar ali shah said that the PPP was playing with teh nations security and would love to see punjab go up in flames...many see it as having teh potential to create extreme ethnic unrest and upheavals in punjab...whatever teh PPP does the seats even in seraikistan will be divided beteen teh big three parties with a possible few for teh PMlq...wih the national assembly almost dying the bill has little chance of success with opposition from teh PMLn in teh punjab assembly almost certain to kill it...

  • Mar07-2013--Karachi descended into chaos as mqm gunmen took to the street and burnt buses and killed a tailor to enforce a shutdown of teh city...however as teh army chief studied teh situation teh mqm backed out of its strike call and teh city returned to normal...It shows that teh mqm is a terrorist oriented party and only military might restrains them and teh so called rehman malik policy of containing the rowdy militant/terroristic nature of teh mohajir ethnic party is a total failure...
  • Mar06-2013--The mqm retainer/afficionada rehman malik who runs one policy to contain teh terrorist mqm...another to contain teh Taleban in Fata and now apparently wants death squads in punjab too...Mqm's farook sattar says they can run death squads all over teh country...rehman malik wants another policy to contain the LJ who are relatively peaceful in punjab...many say rehman malik is suggesting running death squads in teh punjab after their failure in karachi...the PMLn is wary of upsetting the fragile sectarian balance in punjab...
  • Mar06-2013--PPP quickly names mqm's sardar ahmed as sindh opposition leader in a move seen as contrived to get a supportive caretaker setup
  • Mar06-2013--a raja afzal scion drops out of PPP and suggests that he will stand as an independent on one jhelum seat..while masood sharif a former PPP intelligence chief drops out of teh PTI to stand as an independent from karak...one says supporters did not like their move to teh PPP while other says imran khan resistant to change
  • Mar06-2013--An ANP mpa kidnapped in balochistan as teh PMLn backs out of one of its two nominations for teh caretaker setup...The PTI says it did not reccomend razak dawood and shoaib suddle as caretakers
  • Mar06-2013--The PPP continues to play chakri politics with teh nation and now wants a same day dissolution of teh punjab assembly however the PMln says it is dependent on cooperation from teh PPP in sindh, balochistan and KP caretaker setups and they have suggested that teh PPP accept a JUI-f nominee in teh KP...
  • Mar06-2013--A PPP dissident and brother of teh former PPP chief minister in balochistan Nawab lashkari raisani joins teh PMLn...
  • Mar06-2013--The zardaris continue to try to fool the people on seraikistan...the only people to rule pakistan in teh recent past have been teh PPP and military and they are responsible for denying any area funds...the country had little funds anyway and still major projects seem to have been carried out in teh seraiki areas even compared to north and central punjab...The PPP should be wary of suggesting that as a reason for creating new provinces as that would than be applicable to sindh and balochistan too
  • Mar05-2013--A new poll by Pildat-gallup suggests that despite PPP support picking up a few percentage points teh PMln is running away with countrywide support of 41% followed by PPP at 17% and the PTI falling to 14%...Pildat is run by a former IJT students union boss...!many feel that teh PPP is trying to project its next government as possibly being better than the its present disastrous rule...recently revealed information suggests that rehman malik leads as an energy defaulter amongst ministers as well...!...many however feel it is just BISP vs. a motorway to swat/mass transit bus service/free laptops...obviously no one is interested in a paris in lahore or a 60 storey perviz elahi tower or bahria town skyscrapers on a karachi island...! and the possibly more innocent PTI which still wants to fight corruption...the PTI probably does'nt realize that 10 million more industrial workers will probably need around 50000-80000 new industries...the country barely has electricity and gas for its present setup...mant feel that jobs will have to come from other avenues...politicians have to realize that teh country has to control energy needs...sustainability imran khan...!
  • Mar05-2013--The burial of the abbas town blast victims brought karachi to a halt and almost ended in chaos as vehicles were set on fire in sohrab goth and shiites were involved in gunfire with the rangers as the police could not get near teh blast site...teh mqm made matters worse by urging people to take teh law into their own hands...the mqm is seen as a total failure in not being able to handle karachi with its preaching of mohajir ethnicity and anti taleban biases...teh protests were as usual misdirected as teh PPP supporting MWM had no body to protest against barring the banned LJ...The SC however put a stone inits slingshot against teh weakened or withering PPP rule in sindh...sindh over teh past few weeks has seen elements of localized sectarianism with bomb attacks on shiite dargahs in the interior and the shooting of a shiite navy officer in karachi ...teh navy officer and a dargah custodian also died of their wounds...sindh is ruled by teh apparently shiite shah's and there has been a war against teh taleban and ASWJ which is blamed on both the govermnment and the mqm...seminary teachers and ASWJ workers are regularly shot dead by death squads blamed on PPP rulers and teh mqm..earlier teh government and teh mqm were involved in an ethnic war with teh baluch and pukhtuns...
  • Mar04-2013--LI bases bombed in tirah by teh airforce killing seven...sindh is riled by teh shiite shah's and ther has been
  • Mar04-2013--terrorism continues in all PPP ruled areas showing teh paucity of handling ability amongst teh rulers...car blast between two residential buildings in a shiite neihbourhood of karachi...45 dead...no reactions by shiites against teh government as in quetta...many think that rehman malik not correct in singling out punjab's LJ as most terrorism is based on mostly local terrorists...Punjab has generally been able to keep teh lid on terrorist activities...while sindh, balochistan, Fata and KP have been unable to...The PPP attempts to rule in a vacuum have proved counterproductive...THe center must control police activities and must not be a mere dull spokesman like rehman malik...it is not teh punjab's responsibility but teh centers...The center is just sitting onits chairs looking around as everything happens autonomously with the judiciary poking fun at their corruption and pathetic appointments...governance is just not possible like that in countries that are barely able to manage polio vaccination campaigns...
  • Mar03-2013--4 shot dead in turbat and car burned with bodies inside...
  • Mar03-2013--karachi despite one party rule has not seen a day of peace in teh last few years mostly because teh mqm cannot deal with anything and is always involved in political wrangling against one ethnic or sect/religious group...there usual tactic to keep teh support of their duped ethnic desperados is to have a falling out with their coalition partners and avoid any responsibilities...another twelve killed in karachi
  • Mar03-2013--As usual teh mqm and PPP continue their meaningless drama's while raja ashraf orders a worthless reversal of a minor oil price increase...The PPP regime has done literally nothing to tackle the enormous price hikes during their rule...the dollar has gone from 62 to almost a hundred...atta has gone from Rs15 to Rs42..cooking oil from 780 to 1049...kernal basmati from 90 to 160..fresh milk Rs75 from Rs40...Packed milk Rs95 from Rs44...mutton is Rs600 from Rs300..petrol Rs103 from Rs62...beef around Rs400...similarly most other common consumer items prices have been almost doubled..

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...!
