  • Aug23-2013--The byelections many suggest see some very evil natured strange coalitions remerging as teh PTI could not handle a propaganda barrage from its opponents...however losing NA1 and NA71 teh PTI won strangely two PA assembly seats in rajanpur and DG Khan while the PPP won one PA seat from Okara...while teh PPP still remained inconsequential in northern punjab it reemerged in two personality cult areas...The Election Commission however ordered repolling on two NA seats NA5/NA27 in lakki marwat/ nowshera where women were not allowed to participate.

  • Aug22-2013--many feel that the indian atrocities along teh LOC are meant to subjugate or humiliate an already demoralized nawaz sharif team as a captain was killed across teh LOC near skardu...Nawaz Sharif seemingly has an unrealistic estimation of teh indian nature and attitudes
  • Aug22-2013-two bomb blasts in chaman(railway station) and mastung kill three as the biggest byelections take place
  • Aug21-2013--a lot of fun is being made of the Nawaz Sharif speech especially by the media(pro PPP channels such as ARY etc.) and political opponents...it is almost as if his speech writer was opposed to him...i would just focus on one point that of negotiations...The PMLn must realize that talking to the taleban, india or USA and afghanistan will never produce results as they start negating the process almost immediately...talks with such countries and organizations will be usually useless and have no effect or results...india, afghanistan and teh USA have a general anti pakistan nature and attitude...about india they must realize that paki bashing is not some sort of political stunt meant for electioneering but a manifestation of the actual mean indian nature...that is being mean and nasty to pakistan as well as kashmiris and muslims in india...the result of talks since teh seventies has not achieved a thing...even if u tell them that we would accept the LOC plus siachen and kargil as a solution of teh kashmir issue they would still not accept it given their anti pakistan attitude...and obviously their infringements on the LOC continue...Nawaz Sharif should realize that he is the head of teh government in pakistan and must castigate teh indians for destroying the peace and attacking teh pakistan army...many say he probably thinks he is the head of teh UN rather than liliputian pakistan...take his other statement that the gwadar port would be of benefit to the entire region...pretty pathetic, cowardly and unrealistic many suggest since only one ship has visited teh port upto now...

  • Aug21-2013--Musharaf indicted for the murder of Benazir...while teh PPP regime eliminated baitullah mehsud for her murder and many say a string of others as well...others feel that there was an intrinsic link in the murder between the zardari group of teh PPP, musharaf and the swabi murderer or suicide bomber...the PPP regime however visibly avoided indicting teh bombers, associated people and the musharaf regime given their many say fondness for the musharaf regime for having toppled nawaz sharrif

  • Aug21-2013--two missing baloch found dead in karachi
  • Aug21-2013--nepra reduces electricity prices by 30 paisa for July...while the hydel mix is pretty substantial in june, july and august the decrease in prices seems insignificant despite the decreased use of other more expensive sources
  • Aug20-2013--recent floods suggest an everwidening area being effected mostly in punjab and smaller areas in KP, balochistan and sindh..
  • Aug20-2013--The by elections on Aug22 are creating some furore as imran khan moves to enforce his popularity with several key tests like NA1 peshawar, NA48 islamabad, NA71 mianwali and others amongst teh 46 seats..
  • Aug20-2013--pictures on teh internet show that the islamabad gunman was a zardari man and appears in several pictures...while information from the police suggest that they wanted him to come and talk at a home...the police now suggest that teh guy was probably linked to some setup
  • Aug20-2013--an ashen faced(bad makeup)Nawaz Sharif continued to suggest in his first speech that he seems unable to make decisions on simply running key state firms such as PIA, steel mills, appointments etc, handling terrorists(whether to hang them or not), defence(india related), foreign policy(he says there is need for a change)...does that suggest bad advisors or a lack of management expertise or old age...? while being unable to figure out teh difference between black and white...the only thing that he seems clear about is building roads and many feel that he does not have teh money to build them...it took twenty years to build the motorway from khanewal to peshawar and he wants to extend that to karachi and swat....the other thing that he wants todo is build houses for his middle class supporters...the poor really cant afford 4-6 lakh rupee houses...apparently the ashiana scheme upto now has built houses for the semi rich...many feel that he should let teh private sector handle that...the other things that he seems to have handled because of timely rains and some chinese assistance is to handle the things that teh anti punjab PPP refused todo...one wonders what is the big thing in making circular debt payments...apparently around 1800MW of teh 6600MW Gadani coal fired power plants seem tobe the only new move...however many feel that he might go under if he lets the sindhis run all over him on gas for punjab and power stations...in rawalpindi a shortage is starting being felt already...i am sure teh country can import urea and shutting down the factories will not make a difference...his governments needlessly raising electricity prices seems unnecessary...in winter teh shortage of electricity will again become apparent...his inability to make key appointments such as the foreign minister, defence minister...announce his choice for army chief etc. and also other appointments has slowed down his government...if he does not want to run key organizations than he must immediately privatize them so that the effects good and bad are apparent by the end of his five year rule...His first step that of selecting key advisors has not been completely apparent...so if he cannot make decisions easily than he has bad advisors who are not doing their jobs or are too old and have no new thinking...but selling teh banks that seem profitable does seem a luxury but he must realize that he must not create monopolies...many feel that the PMLn might be thinking of sajjad ghani rather than the top two as the next army chief...while others still suggest that the status quo kiani might be retained for the next five years...would the seniormost lt. general than goto the courts which favor seniority in teh appointment process...? To be a clear chief executive he should at teh first step be making all his appointments and than start the process of running teh government...he should also make the people feel that they live in pakistan and not in some province or city...India is really not that important to us as they won't give us what we want...with their quibling it is best to import even onions and tomato's from china and iron ore from australia or brazil...on karachi he obviously either goes with teh sindhis or mqm...one feels he should let teh sindhis handle karachi apart from any federal inputs on law enforcement...creating LG governments just to satisfy teh mqm is obviously no solution..the other aspect maybe to convince the mqm that they live in sindh or create a seperate karachi province and to stop all the troublemaking by all concerned sindhis, mohajirs or any others
  • Aug19-2013--floods in most punjab riverine areas as rivers flood in sindh as well
  • Aug19-2013--death row prisoners get a repreive as president refuses to sign death warrants...talks tobe held after zardari returns from his holidays...many suggest that teh PMLn might have used the tactic to avoid hanging taleban convicts who had threatened retaliation

  • Aug18-2013--Nawaz Sharif continues to show an inability to handle indian propaganda and vicious tactics against pakistani offices and products
  • Aug18-2013--militant killed in swabi, two militants killed in bolan and an AWSJ worker guned down in karachi
  • Aug18-2013--floods in indus, chenab, ravi,and sutlej causing disruption and damage...teh indians as usual were teh cause of some of teh floods as teh nasty manmohan singh had a poor pakistani doctors painting exhibition vandalised in ahmedabad...i dont think it will make much of a difference if we have modi or rahul gandhi replace him given that he is just as anti pakistan as the new rivals
  • Aug18-2013--Imran Khan adopts the usual petty PPP defence that he has been defeated by unknown umpires and rigging rather than peoples votes even though he has only challenged the results on four seats that too not in any legal forum...he says he will make a difference in teh slow moving KP governance and will cancel all mullah fazlur rehmans diesel licences
  • Aug17-2013--CJ appoints seniormost judge T. H. Jilani as acting CEC..many regard it as an inappropriate appointment as the CJ is due to retire this year and he also has to takeover as acting CJ during travels of the CJ...

  • Aug17-2013--heavy floods in indus and chenab
  • Aug17-2013--ANP women leader shot dead in peshawar
  • Aug17-2013--a debate is on...on the islamabad gunman's handling with teh interior minister saying that he ordered them to handle it without violence...however as the gunman was moving towards unconditional surrender in moved zammurad khan the PPP's bait ul maal head who tried to grab the gunman but fell to the ground and was saved by the gunmans inexperience and a hail of gunfire from the police...The PPP which has become a cowardly party with corruption seeping into its top leadership many say could be looking to appoint zammurad khan as teh deputy chairman...the novice bilawal bhutto has shied away from replacing the parties deadwood including people like zardari and gilani...a brave leader could regenerate teh PPP's enthusaism although many suggest that teh PPP will never reemerge on the national scene given its failure in three out of four provinces...while some say zammurad showed bravery others say that it was hamaqat on teh same scale as the mad gunman's...
  • Aug16-2013--DSP among five killed as police intervene in a land dispute in karachi's safari park area...sindhi nationalists say the killed were their men
  • Aug16-2013--experts suggest that an indian submarine probably exploded after they tried to fire a cruise missile...!
  • Aug16-2013--Indian shelling across teh LOC continues
  • Aug16-2013--In a drama spread over several hours a lone gunmen held the islamabad security officials hostage carrying out inane negotiations...finally a PPP leader Zammurad Khan saying he did it out of personal outrage walked upto the family who seemed tobe smiling at his intervention and than tried to grab the gunman who avoided him and ran away firing...with the situation in grave danger of becoming serious teh islamabad police shot and injured the gunmen and than whacked him with gun butts...the gunman wanted islamic law and the release of his son by an arab wife who was detained in teh UAE...
  • Aug16-2013--The National assembly on a PTI request agreed to study around 40 seats across pakistan to check teh possibility of fake votes or even orchestrated rigging
  • Aug16-2013--manmohan singh who has orchestrated cross border firing at pakistanis on teh LOC almost daily and attacks on a bus to pakistan and embassy urges pakistan to stop any sort of anti india activity in pakistan...while he allows every sort of anti pakistani activity on the borders as well as inside india...the hypocrisy of manmohan singhs statement is evident from the activity they orchestrate in pakistan from training camps in afghanistan and refusal to stop LOC firing...they have also refused to talk about an incident inside occupied kashmir which is divided by an indian built fence...whenever india is willing to adopt a rational attitude on disputes and kashmir...pakistan steps up but as soon as an agreement is reached on any issue the indians stop negotiations for one reason or teh other

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...!
