The Daily Pakistanpolitics Aug1-15, 2015

• Aug15-2015--In Karachi the PPP came out strongly for military rule while the Quetta corp commander said 400 militants had surrendered and that balochis were no longer frightened...
  
• Aug15-2015--The MQm which recently demonstrated its pro indian nature and desire for a seperate status or even an an indian intervention now suggests that they are only worried for their militant workers...Not long ago they were questioning why the PTI resignations were not accepted and now the PMLn who are also led by east Punjabi mohajirs is telling them to withdraw their resignations as the law would be fully followed...All the mqm needs do is end its militancy and hand over its criminals...MQM should realize that nobody has immunity and whatever their politics they will have to end criminal involvements
  
• Aug15-2015--The Pmln or the sharifs did what no other had done before...They cut off Murree from the people on August 14 and only those who had hotel reservations were allowed to visit Murree...apparently Murree is going tobe renamed Sharifabad soon...apparently the two sharifs do not like the rush of ordinary people when they are spending time there
  
• Aug15-2015--August 14 did not go by without an incident...a petrol station caught fire near the ISI residential complexes in Rawalpindi killing three and the PMLn came out openly to suggest that ex ISI chief Lt. General Abbasi was behind the dharna..many had suspected the worst when PAT workers came out armed in Lahore and Rawalpindi...The revelation made by a PMLn minister suggests that civil intelligence recorded the generals conversations which were played out to General Raheel by the primeminister...there were other suggestions that the supposed military coups primeminister in waiting was spending his time in an askari rest house and that only one person would be killed...another dangerous occurrence came with a full page photo of General Raheel in the Dawn...attempts to inculcate a dangerous Raheel personality cult have been visible amongst retired fauji officers and mentally weak civilians...obviously a full page photo can only be the work of the dangerous ISI or the Karachi corp commander...!Lt.General Abbasi also had a runin with General Kiani earlier when Nawaz Sharif allowed him to question Kiani on why he was not being recommended...Lt. General Abbasi had than accused General Kiani of wide ranging family corruption...!
  
• Aug14-2015--seven death sentences were handed down by unknown military courts for attacks on the APS in Peshawar and Rangers in Karachi while one got a life sentence...!!
  
• Aug13-2015--In what is thought be another one of MQM's attempts to shield itself from criticism for its anti Pakistan behaviours and criminal involvements...the MQM resigned from the national assembly, sindh assembly and senate..two senators refused to resign...The speaker who has now learned enough about handling such childish behavior was immediately ready to accept the resignations but Nawaz Sharif the Punjabi mohahir stopped him from doing so...by days end it was apparent that the MQM had lost even more self esteem from their erratic behaviours than anything else...they had initially called for pakistan military intervention in Karachi and than indian military intervention...!!...no major MQM leader has even been incarcerated...many feel that the effect of their resignations was so pathetic that they were forced to ask Nawaz Sharif to intervene and save their seats...organizing polls in Karachi is easy and with an energized PTI there could be some interest in the results...without their criminal element they could be in trouble...

• Aug12-2015--The armed forces say that they are ready to meet all security challenges..many observers think that the army is afraid of taking on the Indians even in border skirmishes due to their superiority in propaganda...india refuses to handle any dispute which it regards as against its interests...it only wants to talk about things that the Pakistanis cant handle...

• Aug6-2015--In one of the most pathetic decisions from the SC in a supposed democracy the judges ruled 11-6 to allow military courts for terrorists with final oversight by high courts and the SC...military courts function on the principle that if the military says they are guilty to gallows they go...there was some discussion as to whether asif zardari and altaf hussein were terrorists or not...!!...The PMLn now has control over all methods of killing people...thru the normal judiciary, a military judiciary behind curtains, by the army, FC, police , ISI and obviously acts of god...as muslims we pray for all the dead...in na lillahe inna alaihi rajiun...The most pathetic aspect was the ruling by the CJ that the national assembly could legislate anything even the removal of the judiciary...the SC also approved the 18-21st amendments to the constitution...upto now the judges have usually ruled judiciously in civilian times while going overboard during military rules...now one must say that with judges selected by the CJ's a generally uneducated conscienceless pathetic judiciary is emerging...

• Aug3-2015--Imran Khan turns on the footdraggers and says he will decide his own frontline...Imran has been quibbling on his final eleven and not putting them thru a vote which might see them toppled...maybe he too wants someone close in front...others say his shifty eyed wife might be his first choice if he wants to go into the background...still others notice how his sister shutdown the Rawalpindi cantonment poll campaign...!...many have questioned his or Tareen's handling of the dharna phase and many also question if Imran khan really knows his men...!obviously Tareen's money and airplane are important in the Pakistani situation but there was a feeling of dragging things along needlessly...Tareen rose to fame as the financier of Humayun Akhter an ISI scion and obviously a military footdragger in a previous coup era...however what makes people worry is how a personal deal might have been made on the side by Pasha and Tareen...many notice that suddenly out of nowhere a Pasha and Haroon Akhter rose to positions of eminence in the finance ministries at the center and in Punjab...!while this might be just because of the murdering ineptness displayed by shahbaz sharif and Ishaq Dar or whether the economy went down the drain in the dharna etc...but others notice the creeping influence of the mohajir coup plotter...!!or a side deal by the very men that Imran Khan wants to fly the plane with...!!
