The Daily PakistanPolitics Mar1-15, 2014

  • Mar15-2014--The treason court orders police to arrest musharaf and produce him in court if he does not come to teh court on teh 31st...
  • Mar15-2014--two terrorist blasts in quetta and peshawar created further problems for teh stalled talks...teh indian group ahrarul hind claimed responsibility... nine killed in peshawar and ten in quetta...in quetta it was a cycle blast while in peshawar it was a suicide blast at a petrol station...teh group called ahrarul hind might not actually be involved...since both are different type of blasts or it might just be a reincarnation of teh TTP's armed wing...many suggest cycle blasts are usually indian orchestrated while suicide blasts are generally taleban groups...The police in peshawar say it could be teh lashkar e islam group of Bara
  • Mar14-2014--The ISI says it was intercepting information about threats to musharaf...however most believe that teh ISI is just helping out musharaf as no such info has come from any other source...many believe that teh ISI must be demilitarized for credible threat assessments...The ISI others suggest just issues threat assessments on what it believes rather than any real information...upto now they have not been able to intercept anything about teh numerous blasts in teh country...if musharaf feels threatened in teh heart of ISI territory than literally each and every person in teh country who have no protection at all must feel threatened...The kind of security provided to musharaf should be enough protection many say...unless he is executed by government forces for his treachery and treason...!...if they have info on some musharaf guards than they can easily be replaced...!
  • Mar14-2014--The government again raises prices for electricity bills in February usually charged to the highest domestic users to Rs20.24...!
  • Mar13-2014--four soldiers die in an avalanche in GB area
  • Mar13-2014--The treason court which threw out a musharaf lawyer for unabated contemptuous behaviour to probe an intelligence agency on teh reasoning for its threat assessments of an attack on musharaf...many suggest that musharaf be jailed in adyala where teh case can be safely held...
  • Mar13-2014--The fall of teh dollar below Rs.98 is said tobe due to teh government literally stopping the mopping up of dollars from teh secondary market while remmittances have risen to $10 billion in teh last ten months...and that the government has already made the loan repayments for this year...that could have caused teh kerb and interbank market to refuse to raise rates when there are enough sellers and no big buyers...however teh dollar fall could reach a stage where it would again be attractive to purchase and the rates would than start to rise...the dollar has long been a safe haven in pakistan and its fall could trigger further selling by longtime hoarders...?
  • Mar13-2014--The PMLn regime has apparently cowed down teh military to react to taleban actions within limits set by teh government
  • Mar13-2014--14 killed as rival gang attacks a crowded market area
  • Mar13-2014--The government replaces its taleban committee with present and former mostly pukhtun beaurocrats headed by the secretary ports and shipping who has served in three of teh Fata agencies...rustam shah mohmand survives...the odd member seems tobe a primeminister's aide on law and order with experience in balochistan...the remaining member being a representative of teh KP governor who is an additional chief secretary of Fata...rustam mohmand has served as chief secretary KP in teh past and as ambassador to afghanistan...that shows that teh problem would now be handled as an administrative regional problem and limited to Fata and its relationship to KP..others suggest that tribals and teh taleban prefer beurocrats as negotiators and teh present set have sufficient experience in teh region...many say that the irfan siddiqui taleban committee said that they were frightened of the mean revengeful nature of pukhtuns and tribals...
  • Mar12-2014--the sindh minister for relief works fired despite teh chief minister saying that there was no problem in thar...
  • Mar12-2014--dollar falls below Rs.100...one can only assume on high remittances since government reserves are absymally low...others suggest that it might be a PMLn antic to show that they can raise and lower rates at will...others suggest that many will have been forced to sell as rates declined...mostly exporters who are known to hoard dollars overseas
  • Mar12-2014--Musharaf who immediately starts feeling threatened whenever he is going tobe indicted to face teh music on friday..!
  • Mar12-2014--CII rules that u can marry a girl at any age...!and there can be no restrictions on a second marriage
  • Mar12-2014--an FC soldier and a militant killed near sui in an exchange of fire
  • Mar11-2014--PTI names mpa Gulzar Khan for taleban talks committee while CM says teh taleban can be allowed to open an office in KP...The hoopla over talks has died down after teh collapse of teh first government committee
  • Mar10-2014--The PMLn government is bent upon shifting responsibility in teh Taleban talks to teh army or teh KP government...after the army refused they now want teh KP chief minister or governor to handle the talks...theoretically teh KP governor is teh head of teh Fata administration and many feel that a seperate governor for Fata might be an initial solution in teh process...surprisingly teh government committee has all but been disolved without any explanation...!
  • Mar10-2014--BNP-M leader and guard shot dead in Khuzdar...!
  • Mar10-2014--The typical PPP attitude to avoid responsibility is apparent in teh Thar situation...while teh aspect of politics is there in the mysterious Thar drought the sindh PPP's suggestion that children and people die every year and it has nothing todo with drought is at best a joke...if there is no drought than why teh need for food aid and medical aid...television pictures showed healthy women but weak and seemingly malnourished children who probably need milk more than wheat and rice...unseemingly there were no donations of milk, water and baby food...!
  • Mar9-2014--The Dawn feels that teh PMLn is unable to prioritize funding for projects and even programs such as a child hospital in rawalpindi have had funding stopped...funds for around 40 massive programs mostly in balochistan also stopped
  • Mar9-2014--the PMLn is trying to placate the army with more than Rs.100 billion in additional development funds for next year...The army must realize that meaningless investments in new military hardware are useless...!while some suggest jokingly that teh only thing they might really need is a chinese drone system...!
  • Mar9-2014--with the PMLn again becoming mixed up in handling gas resources viz CNG, industries, fertilizer and power plants Dawn suggests that there will be astronomical load shedding in early summer...many feel that teh government must categorically shift industries and CNG to other sources of energy and use gas for power production
  • Mar8-2014--The treason court rejects all musharaf objections tobe tried under article six for imposing an emergency and incarcerating an entire judiciary...!...teh trial court however conceded that as teh trial proceeds any other participants in teh events can also be brought to trial..musharaf has suggested that numerous other military generals, beaurocrats, lawyers and politicians participated in teh decision making while others suggested that musharaf dictated almost everything and only listened to a few close confidantes..others have suggested that even a former chief justice and MI/ISI chiefs were involved in such dangerous decision making as attacking teh lal masjid, and attempting to avoid civilian governance and anti judiciary acts...!!
  • Mar8-2014--television channels and hawks in teh PMLn are suggesting that a military operation is being prepared if the TTP does not become a peaceful organisation with some even suggesting that an operation can be launched instantly...most aspect future operations to largely be aerial bombardment as on teh road teh military has suffered a lot of losses by IED's and hit and run attacks unless they can identify some TTP headquarter...?others suggest that the TTp could also become one of teh countries myriad undercover intelligence organisations if teh PMln is successful...!
  • Mar8-2014--the rupee has recorded just a Rs2-3 fall but Dawn suggests that exporters are lining up in droves to sell their dollars...many feel that with literally nothing being spent by teh government and raising of electricity prices to around Rs.20-21 should bring teh dollar down to Rs90 with the expectations from a free privatisation process (meaning sell without liabilities...)...The privatisation guru now suggests that selling profitable units is not a foolish idiotic process although teh government will supposedly not gain anything by it...earlier reports have privatisation objectives as selling loss making enterprises to save government revenues for who knows what...government has been making massive investments in railways, PIA and steel mills but apparently cant find acceptable buyers...upto now teh UAE state, one british and saudi company have been teh only outside buyers...many feel that if teh private sector is so good than they should sell to pakistani concerns so that future profits can benefit teh country in some aspect...
  • Mar8-2014--reports in the press suggest that teh army is uncomfortable with many aspects of governance even with civvies handling negotiations even though the military has itself conducted negotiations with Fata militants earlier and even signed agreements...however negotiations are yet to take place directly and many suggest that most issues are related to teh government rather than teh military apart from teh violent component...others suggest that it is easier for the military to stay in teh background and have just some aspects of a veto power...many suggest that persons like ex general Jehangir have studied teh process of negotiations and diplomatic handling of such issues...while others suggest that teh military/ministry of interior can talk much more easily by identifying some of their undercover operatives and controlling governments military offensives
  • Mar7-2014--It is pakistan that is termed extremist and india that has religious extremist organisations like teh RSS and charges kashmiri students for sedition for supporting pakistan in cricket matches and expels them from universities...!
  • Mar7-2014--a hitman and five associated terrorists arrested in karachi
  • Mar7-2014--The PPP and PMLn in another behind teh scenes work agree to force the appointment of a hindu judge as CEC by passing a law to bypass an earlier law...!such CEC's are sure todo runarounds and teh PPP is known to have not been happy with an earlier supposedly honest judge as CEC...The PMLn is prone to pro hinduism with many suggesting that musharaf and nawaz sharif are extracts of hindu families...
  • Mar7-2014--electronic voting technologies many suggest are teh only way to bypass human involvement in election frauds...
  • Mar7-2014--The PPP is so consumed by its egotists in Sindh that it forgot to notice a supposed drought in Thar
  • Mar7-2014--Nawaz Sharif suggests that teh TTP oppose terrorism by condemning actions of its support groups...condemning is supposed to absolve those from suspicions of participation generally a meaningless exercise...The government side is suggesting that they are so close to teh TTP that a new committee comprising teh interior ministry and army can handle negotiations directly...?with chaudhry nisar even suggesting that fast track negotiations are possible...earlier army handled negotiations have failed to stand teh test of time and probably a suleh e hudaibiya type overall solution is needed...
  • Mar7-2014--In another faux pas chaudhry Nisar suggested in teh NA that police shot dead a judge in an islamabad terrorist incident by wild firing with a 9mm weapon...Police usually are armed with kalashnikovs and television comperes suggested that the judge was killed by a kalashnikov bullet/s and that cant be incidental...!
  • Mar6-2014--IED blast hits FC vehicle in Kurram killing six soldiers
  • Mar6-2014--taleban negotiators meet amid incidents of violence...in akora khattak teh home of maulana samiulhaq...dawn says that government committee might be changed to include army and interior ministry officials who can deal with some issues instantly..reports that jundullah and islamic army of uzbekistan are refusing to support ceasefire while teh lal masjid mullah has condemned teh mindless violence at teh islamabad kutchery...new type of bomb making materials used in islamabad with rumours about indian and army involvement...!many wonder where teh bombers get RDX and C4 which are plastic explosives...commercial TNT used in a mix in islamabad blasts...investigators only have sketches which are difficult to identify given many similarities in generalized dress and appearances in the regions
  • Mar5-2014--two killed in firing on Nato containers in jamrud
  • Mar5-2014--as government resumes taleban talks five missing persons produced in teh SC
  • Mar4-2014--In what is sure to create further turmoil terrorists believed to belong to an attock group called teh ahrar ul hind attacked teh islamabad kutchery with guns, hand grenades and two suicide bombers...killing a district and session judge, women lawyer and nine others...said tobe a faction of teh TTP it sounds quite similar in name to teh mqm many say...it took place as nawaz sharif was meeting teh military top brass in which teh iSI chief conspicuously wears civilian suits...the interior minister reacted by suggesting the TTP identify teh participants who are said to have retaliated for the judges decision against teh lal masjid or non conformance with sharia...also in another incident two FC men died in teh Bara area as their jeep ran into an IED...many suggest that teh attacks on teh islamabad courts could have been carried out by assassins/terrorists on hire as it benefits the political views of teh opposition..islamabd has generally been a peaceful place barring a few terrorist incidents...!
  • Mar3-2014--two killed in lyari blasts
  • Mar3-2014--Iran which said yesterday its border guards were released said today that it was not sure...local reports suggest that teh iranian guards were actually iranian smugglers...many feel iranian's are attempting to playup sectarian and political differences on various issues such as syria and teh gas pipeline...pakistan reluctant to give iranians a political success in matters of the pipeline where teh iranians are playing hardball on pricing and financing
  • Mar3-2014--Interior minister announces a halt to airstrikes while military suggests that airstrikes will takeplace to counter any terrorist activities that take place...The military pounded Bara killing five and other areas for teh killing of 12 polio related killings a day earlier...Gul Bahadur says he will not take part in talks as they have an earlier peace agreement in north waziristan...There seems a slight change in government strategy in that they will bomb if a terrorist incident takes place whereas earlier they had said drone attacks and other retaliations were not situational but according to individual involvement...At the moment there are no signs of total TTP control over terrorist outfits
  • Mar2-2014--The taleban in a dramatic move announced a month long ceasefire in attempts to force the government to end its bombing campaign
  • Mar2-2014--ten militants killed in sui area after a gunfight with the FC
  • Mar2-2014--In what many regard as imaginary kite flying teh military spokesman says that they have cornered teh Fata militants in North waziristan and only need a mopping up operation...with supposedly 10-15000 militants teh militaries supposed numerical strength of 150000 should be enough...however many suggest that there is only one corp in the area and teh FC which could total around 30000 soldiers...The military is also thinly spread in an area not conducive to ground operations...the taleban tactics of IED bombs plus suicide and car blasts are thus not easily controlled...unless both sides return to peacetime behaviour not much can be solved
  • Mar2-2014--12 policemen died in two blasts while escorting polio workers near a taleban controlled area in jamrud
  • Mar2-2014--bomb kills three FC men in Kalat in a IEWd blast that hit two vehicles
  • Mar1-2014--Chaudhry Nisar apparently wants to redesign the ISI and call it the Directorate for Internal Security with control over teh countries myriad intelligence agencies...The ISI has generally failed to handle teh countries internal insurgencies and have been found to have no information or undercover operatives to handle teh situations..Chaudhry Nisar on teh other hand says that we will bomb(ie targeted strikes) but not push teh army into a ground operation in which they might land into insurmountable difficulties or obstacles...
  • Mar1-2014--Jamshed Dasti on teh other hand suggests that Mna's pleasure activities in islamabad include alcohol, marijuana and mujra's while others deny indulging in such pursuits

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...
