The Daily PakistanPolitics May16-31, 2015

  • May31-2015--According to Dawn Nawaz Sharif has woken up to the threats of afghan(NDS) and Indian(RAW) intelligence agencies and has told the simplistic faujis that they should strike back
  • May31-2015--PMLn economic leaders think they can fool the people all the time...while oil prices are still around $60 they have attempted to raise prices and taxes on oil...when prices fall they say the impact will be in many months when they rise even a few dollars they say the impact is immediate
  • May31-2015--generator imports double to $162 million in April 2015...used mostly by domestic users and small commercial places they are an apt figuration for the governments apathy to electricity generation and its victimisation of domestic users who pay the highest rates and suffer all the loadshedding...
  • May31-2015--seven eliminated in operation after mastung carnage...three more bodies of victims found...UBA claims killings for its militants...government says that mostly pukhtuns killed after the china corridor was turned into the pukhtun corridor...the corridor now follows a path almost parallel to the afghan border and avoids all baloch, seraiki and punjabi areas...many have been joking that the pukhtuns have drawn a line thru all pukhtun majority areas that could be the new border with afghanistan...!!!
  • May31-2015--local body elections held in apalling conditions in KP...five killed in charsadda and women did not vote in upper and lower Dir...KP government said police had been handed over to the ECP...while polling officers say that police refused to control the riff raff or troublemakers
  • May28-2015--The army chief many suggest is pretty naive when he thinks that it is RAW that is behind terrorist actions and border violations...It is the indian government that is behind most terrorist acts in the region as well as kashmir...
  • May28-2015--Army and PMLn to focus on anti sunni seminary policies as their basis for NAP...they want to change/distort basic islam/ history just like the shiites who are attacking their religious opponents in the middle east...the government has to realize that funding seminaries can only be controlled if they nationalize them otherwise they usually collect enough each friday...if every sect can do whatever it wants than these conflicts cannot be controlled...the wealth of politicians and military men must also be comparable to ordinary people if things are tobe controlled
  • May28-2015--judicial tribunal allows opening of election bags to retrieve forms
  • May27-2015--three policemen in a police mobile shot dead by four motorcyclists possibly mqm terrorists near azizabad in karachi
  • May27-2015--six TTP suspects killed in Orangi while four gangsters killed in Lyari by Rangers
  • May27-2015--The Election Commission will get a go ahed to unseal all sealed election bags to retrieve the form 15---140000 of them...this form shows used ballots and what has been done to the unused ones...excessive ballots were printed and the court would like to hear how many of them are accounted for...Nadra has already declared that bad thumb imprints donot cancel a vote if an ID card is valid...That leaves the PTI with bad usage of excess ballots as the only reason for another election tobe held if the court can muster its courage and announce that technically dhandli took place even if the returning officers/polling staff did not do it on an organized basis or at the behest of the PMLn, the caretakers or the even more uglier pretext of a judiciary organized dhandli(former CJ iftikhar chaudhry will than look like one a eyed bandit instead of an aggressive judge)
  • May27-2015--protesting lawyers attacked the punjab assembly and set on fire a fibre glass security shed...lawyers in a spate of bad ugly behaviours blocked roads, burnt tyres, damaged public property in other areas of the province, manhandled policemen and harassed other people...
  • May27-2015--if Nawaz Sharifs comments are anything to go by the budget will just be rhetorical with a wastage of over 4 trillion on doing nothing as usual...one fails to understand why people will want to pay taxes when the budget has nothing init for them...!!!an economic policy that is meaninglessly based on more revenues and more revenues and more revenues is just bad economics as the money use is uncontrolled and useless to the people...the military must realize that they, the politicians and rich classes are just wasting peoples money for personal wealth and aggrandizement...the gap between these three classes and the people is much greater now than it ever was before...
  • May23-2015--pakistan win first t20 after several controversial umpiring decisions that were all against zimbabwe...driver of srilankan cricketers attack bus now owns three buses...!
  • May23-2015--one killed in a quetta blast as the Balochistan assembly speaker is forced to resign
  • May23-2015--maulvi blows himself up at a charsadda mosque
  • May23-2015--In the judicial commission Nadra poured cold water over PTI hopes by saying that a vote does not become invalid if the thumb imprint is unclear while Fafen said that they had clearly predicted 218 results
  • May22-2015--ten killed in north waziristan airstrikes
  • May22-2015--In pakistan fiscal discipline only helps the rich...however the IMF chief told the dirt poor in a shantytown in Rio de janeiro that fiscal discipline will help them...!!!
  • May22-2015--after almost succeeding the sindh chief minister lost two ministries...a new home minister suhail anwer siyal from larkana while murad shah picked up the ministry of panning and development...The chief minister failed in both deptt.'s..now he can sleep in his office...!
  • May22-2015--The minister of finance seems tobe quite stupid or he things the people are stupid...first he bewails the loss of revenues from falling oil prices(wrf to electricity generation) forgetting the benefit to the entire government(in all other sectors) and the country of cheaper fuel...Instead of helping the people with lower electricity prices he wiped out the subsidy...and refused the benefit of fuel price adjustment to low end users...with an additional gas tax the government increased its revenues by around Rs.300 billion which are bound to create more suffering to the populace...obviously the subsidy might not have been needed also due to falling oil prices the benefit should have been given to the people...one questions the anti people attitude in the Dar /sharif mindset
  • May22-2015--The government says that it questions western analysis that pakistan was prepared to help the saudi's develop nuclear expertise to counter israeli/iranian aggressiveness
  • May22-2015--questions are rising as to how the four masterminds of the safoora killings were nabbed...the police chief who was showered with Rs50 million says that the evidence from the bus led them to the hideout...not worth Rs50 million really...five were shown escaping on two motorbikes...many suggest that the bikes were spotted and they were nabbed after an encounter...others suggested that mukhbari came from JUI chief maulana fazlur rehman...!the mastermind apparently also involved earlier in a hyderabad kidnapping case...a lot of hoohaa is being raised on their being educated...educated people are usually not followers in crime but they can do such things on their own...others suggest that the police like the ones in punjab are blaming all the unsolved terrorism cases on the alleged troublemakers...possibly the fifth rider was a police undercover who escaped...!today one television was reporting that one of the four was a fan of victim Sabeen Mahmud...
  • May20-2015--while pakistan tries to beefup security for the zimbabweans they also try to beef up their T20 team after losses in the worldcup and bangladesh...however many thought they should have included Belal Asif and Usama Mir in place of some of the oldtimers...one specialist spinner could have been added in place of the six seamers and Belal Asif seems better than most of the driedup alrounders/oldtimers...
  • May20-2015--Nawaz Sharif frightened of inaugurating the fits and starts rawalpindi-islamabad metro from a rawalpindi site...The metro which seems tobe having quality construction problems in the rawalpindi areas still seems far from totally complete...however the PMLn which is seen tobe handling governance badly this time will go for an inauguration on the 29th...
  • May20-2015--PMLn and PPP adopt a mammoth Rs.145 billion gas tax increase without reason as they donot seem to want a pipeline that it was supposedly meant for..The government taxes people for everything but gives them nothing...most governance is meant for politicians, the fauj and industrialists non of whom do anything for the people...many feel that they now want to build an LNG pipeline for industrialists with the money...
  • May20-2015--Police say they have caught four of the eleven that attacked the ismaili bus saying while they were a new multi ethnic group they were still religious extremists...usually extremists make a dependable claim within a few days...The aims of the group seem unclear as they reportedly have also attacked the police, sabeen mahmud, americans and bohra's apart from this ismaili attack...religious extremists in karachi are usually pukhtun...they say one 0.9mm bullet matched one that was fired at a rangers official five months ago...while earlier police reports mentioned four participatory motorcycles they have now included a white car as well...such multiple assassin acts are usually targetted retaliatary attacks although many still consider it to be a shakedown given the immense riches collected by the ismaili's although many point to the closed door sectarian nature of the sect...they regard themselves as different from the shiites as their jamaatkhana's mention that they are only for ismaili's and shiites...!the shiites generally have their own imambargah's
  • May18-2015--seven dead in peshawar rains
  • May18-2015--the information minister who over the past has shown no tolerance for the remarks of opponents suggests that soceity should tolerate his sectarian remarks and that there is some unknown conspiracy against him by seminaries
  • May17-2015--Rangers claim killing four BLA militants in karachi
  • May17-2015--drone attack kills six in north waziristan
  • May17-2015--banner calls by some religious organizations for hanging the mulhad, dheriaand zandeek information minister who called seminaries centers of illiteracy...earlier the PMLn's punjab governor had also claimed tobe an illiterate...!many are questioning the government attitude where they bann collection of small donations but give the countries biggest bank to a sectarian organization...!!!
  • May17-2015--the karachi corp commander seems tobe calling for the removal of the chief minister and governor of sindh saying that some infrastructure is missing in karachi...if karachi does not have an infrastructure than one wonders what the rest of the country is suffering...he also calls for human sacrifices which at best are meaningless to any solution...islam technically forbids human sacrifices...he suggests that he has the means for improving things across the board in karachi...seemingly he seems tobe propagating things that he cannot do...many feel that the military should handle the difficult tasks such as militancy, gunrunning, dacoities and murders...white collar crime will automatically go down if guns and major criminals are removed from the scene...the military cannot change governance in totality and the best way is to bring in governors and chief ministers who are not status quo oriented...if the military wants to handle everything than martial law is the only way...!
  • May16-2015--police have made no headway in the ismaili attack and are still trumpeting that it is a peaceful community although they were involved in violence earlier in GB and an attack on a mosque in rawalpindi...They have to realize that the IS is not an organized force in pakistan and there are just allegiances which change with time...the police will have to look for other reasons which could be in the financial, retaliation and revenge modes..the action looks surprisingly similar to other acts done for extortion or corruption...many feel that the Musharaf and Zardari factions could be blackmailing the Agha Khan for payments after completing the Habib Bank deal...musharaf is known to have been part of the deal in negotiating an american loan and zardari is a known corruption ogre...just mere terrorism is not much of a cause unless someone wants military rule...The military however seems to have restarted its Shawal offensive in Fata where the Taleban are still holed in and some claim that it is a new wave of terrorism...with sindh having an almost open border indians too can be accused as can the ethnic's...the military has to realize that to deal with RAW and hostile indian forces retaliation across the border is the only way...The problems they have faced with local insurgencies and terrorists are already apparent...The use of the ISI to counteract terrorism seems almost impossible as they usually have no prior intelligence...trying to bug, place informants and use electronic surveillance is no help given the widespread nature of the problem...usually they get information only after the fact...the only other way is to incarcerate leaders and keep violence prone people in jail
  • May16-2015--Airstrikes kill 15 in bombing shawal area of north waziristan...reports of a heavy troop buildup in the area

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...
