The Daily PakistanPolitics May1-15, 2016


  • May14-2016--The afghans who had shutdown the torkham border after the Pakistan army setup a fence and started to clear the area now want it opened...Pakistan too seems to now want a more regulated border rather than the uncontrolled mess that it has become
  • May14-2016--The SC also seemingly backed out of forming a commission saying that the commission would only demean the SC...However it seems that Nawaz Sharif has backed out of the commission and the weak generally thought tobe pro Nawaz sindhi SC chief seemingly has backed out of fright at having to ask the countries elite what they were doing with companies in panama...the list of owners are not that many and the court should just have asked them to explain in a week what they were doing by forming behind the scenes companies...what zardari and company were doing was clear but what were these chakarbaaz sharifs doing in panama...?
  • May14-2016--Imran Khans reluctance had been showing on the TOR issue and the reason has now come to light...he too owned a Niazi Services Ltd in Panama and used it to purchase a flat in London...he has clarified that he was interested in sports consultancies and that the company would have saved him a lot in taxation... Qadeer Khan's family also are named as owners of Wahadat ltd in the Panama leaks...However unlike Nawaz Sharif who has not issued a clear statement of explanation apart from blaming the opposition...The Nawaz Sharif/Pervez rashid attitude of answering everything with the comment that the PPP did it too or the opposition are enemies of the state has destroyed any remaining credibility in the Nawaz Sharif family especially after the fauji cuptan son in law was revealed to have 215 acres in punjabs south...!with gifts of pajero's bmw's and donations of over 200 million a year coming from England there is literally nothing left to explain anyway...anyway four to five flats in mayfair are not the one room flat that Imran owned over a shop...!!!
  • May11-2016--legal overseas Pakistanis sent home over $16 billion in the first ten months which is more than the countries reserve of $15.9 billion
  • May11-2016--five Rangers men suspended in custodial death of an mqm hit man ...Rangers claim to have arrested more than 800 target killers mostly mqm associated...
  • May11-2016--three more military court death sentences stayed by the SC...there is usually no info available on court proceedings and counsel argued that legality was not followed by allowing a lawyer to represent the accused..nor was any documentation presented before the courts or made available to the convicts
  • May11-2016--three different aspects have emerged on the Panama Leaks front...The CJ has not yet acted on supposed government advice to form a commission...he probably could be waiting for the government and opposition to settle their TOR differences......many suggest that instead of a commission a tribunal be formed to investigate everyone who has emerged as having supposedly illegal offshore accounts...the sharif brothers have benefited to the tune of Rs700 million from the offshore accounts...while the sharif daughter and son in law have been living it up in Dubai...Ishaq Dar too supposedly owns two high rises in Dubai and is a Nawaz Sharif relative...The army has declared Nawaz Sharif to be a national security risk and the army chief has delivered his advice to Nawaz Sharif to solve the issue quickly or else...according to Imran Khan advice Nawaz Sharif will try to get off the hook by addressing parliament and claiming that is an investment in a foreign company which is not true...parliament is the countries only toothless tiger unless Nawaz Sharif uses his address to resign...!!Khurshid Shah however has another angle that the Sharif regime negotiate on the TOR...Nawaz Sharif has lost considerable prestige even amongst his own followers as corruption suitcases seem tobe mixed into the picture...!earlier it had been hoped that he would resign and the country could move ahead after decades of martial law related governance but the PMLn did not agree with his apparent successor Ishaq Dar...however Ishaq Dar is seen as too closely related to Nawaz Sharif as well...Nawaz Sharif's almost forty recent visits to the UK seem tobe panama related...Nawaz Sharif's slowness in settling the issue seems related to his getting old and a known inability to make a quick decision...others say the government also acted illegally is Rs11 million advertisments in which they say the corrupt are the primeministers children and not the primeminister
  • May11-2016--US and afghan forces got released Ali Gilani and seven Fata employees after a raid on a khan said hideout in paktika..earlier the afghans had confirmed that ali gilani was in a safe place
  • May11-2016--two policemen killed in quetta blast on the sariab road
  • May10-2016--another 259 prominent Pakistanis names have been disclosed as having companies in virgin islands, Singapore and the cook islands...earlier the cayman islands were famous alongwith some british offshore islands...Nawaz sharif now says that his sons raised a 7 million pound loan to buy four London flats...? everyone is coming up with strange reasons...mir khalilur rehman says his offshore company is bankrupt while sharmeen obaid says her mothers company is perfectly legal...all such people must be banned from public office at least...!
  • May10-2016--new Pakistan cricket coach suggests that he will make the Pakistanis more aggressive and brave players..he says they will grow roots and have the wings to fly...most players usually decay in the Pakistan team until they are near being dropped...fitness and discipline tobe maintained..at the moment at least three top players are unfit...players have their own understanding of fitness and apparently Shan Masood is the most fit technically...Mickey Arthur has correctly diagnosed one aspect ie the weakness in ability and courage...he says he will encourage players to play irrespective of the situation...also says he will try to train an assistant Pakistani coach who can takeover when he leaves...with no real team structures in Pakistan coaches donot develop and at the moment the Peshawar coach should be on top...!as to how he corrects faults and makes the players braver is unknown...he says that bowlers and fielders have to try and coordinate in taking wickets...aggressive fielding is also necessary...
  • May9-2016--ethnic and sectarian flareups in Karachi...after an mqm hood was eliminated in custody a sectarian confrontationist Khurram Zaki shot dead by four motorcyclists...possibly involved in anti mullah Aziz demos in Islamabad..FIR names unnamed killers and blames ASWJ head who denies involvement
  • May9-2016--The nature of cricketers is to expect failure rather than success says wasim akram whose suggestion as coach Mickey Arthur cannot he says be expected to do wonders instantly...unfortunately if he is a Peter Moores type whose only success was in test matches than he will obviously have to include hastening or quickly producing results...a good coach can quickly show results by changing styles, strategies and selections...a major change took place in Australian and English sides when coaches and strategies were changed...but it is also necessary to have change orientation at the PCB who should stop promoting favorites and players who donot deliver...we must stop believing in one match wonders...or orders from the top
  • May9-2016--The PMLn especially the "yes sir" brand of Pervez Rashid and crooked minorities are so frightened of the sharifs ending up in jail that they wont accept any change to the TOR on Panama Leaks...there is no problem in handling any panama leaks dealing with other minor characters accept Nawaz Sharif and his family...Nawaz Sharif ran into further trouble in his vacation city of Murree as it was revealed that he was wasting a whopping 430 million on upgrading his personal residences...the sharifs and others muslim league leaders like mehtab abbasi, shahbaz sharif and Mrs Nawaz sharif have several residences each in Murree...while in the old days only children of bigwigs spent time in government rest houses now childish natured leaders like Nawaz Sharif spend most of their weekends and sometimes even afternoons in Murree...Pervez Rashid quickly shifted the funds to the upgrade of the governor house which Nawaz Sharif refuses to stay in...earlier the sharifs had spent Rs11 billion in roads to their raiwind estate...a sparsely populated area outside Lahore famous for a Tableeghi weekend gathering resort...
  • May8-2016--NAB gets fourteen day remand of suspended Balochistan finance secretary who had apparently stored Rs750 million in his home...Nawaz Sharif however who alongwith his brother received Rs700 million from suspicious Panama sources is still at large....!!
  • May8-2016--Raheem Swati arrested for the murder of Perveen Rahman of the Orangi project
  • May8-2016--Islamabad airport project consultants seem tobe unqualified with one being homeopath...while consultants are usually experienced engineers the ones listed for the airport seem to have experiences way out of context...another problem that has surfaced is that the two runways are only 200 meters apart and should have been a kilometer apart...anyway even if simultaneous landing and takeoffs are not possible planes can land and takeoff in succession...
  • May7-2016--maybe Nawaz Sharif should read the comments of John Doe who exposed Mossack Fonseca...the founders, employees and clients of Mossack Fonseca should have to answer for their role as shell companies are formed not only to evade taxes but also to carry out a wide array of serious crimes
  • May7-2016--The impression that the governments in Pakistan are corrupt came thru loud and clear when Rs600 million were found in the home of the balochistan finance secretary...The advisor finance resigned...!!
  • May7-2016--Nawaz Sharif is coming across as pretty corrupt as he fails to handle the fallout from the Panama Leaks...recently he announced no electricity loadshedding and cheap gas for the countries industrial giants in fertilizer production...some suggest that those industrialists might have been behind buying out his failed Ittefak industries...! he announces big projects with a speed unknown amongst politicians...but benefits for ordinary people are never even considered...when people will get low cost electricity and no load shedding is something not even near the Nawaz Sharif mind...an LHC judge farukh irfan Khan has a panama company too and lawyers say they will boycott his courts...
  • May7-2016--in what many regard as a do nothing move the PCB which was unable to even attract a Pakistani coach has landed Mickey Arthur...not too popular after his Australian stint where he was kicked out he is the second coach who has previously coached south Africa...Pakistan have usually tried some half baked low reputation coaches...Arthur is a level 4 coach and he was kicked out by south Africa and Australia in different circumstances....he was unable to handle the high profile failing Australians but was earlier successful with the resurgent south Africans...he eventually fell out with both the Australian and south African captains...what stage Pakistan is in is hard to determine...he will have to work with selectors to replace failures and bring in specialists in various formats...Pakistan has good players in domestic one dayers who have failed to attract any attention...Pakistani's do well in tests where the slow pace and spin orientation works for them however the faster paced short formats causes Pakistani's immense problems which brings us to the suggestion that younger players should make the short format teams and specialists in one dayers should play one dayers...
  • May6-2016--Azam Saigol made PIA chairman..The private sector has not usually been able to run PIA
  • May62016--Azhar Ali has no clue on how to turn around the failing one day team and hopes the coach and selectors can do something
  • May6-2016--Interior minister says the Rangers should not investigate the mqm death in custody on their own...Rangers who had apparently arrested an mqm hitmen suggest that patient died of cardiac arrest...The body condition suggests that either patient had been in hospital for weeks or was beaten up badly in the two days he was in custody..or he was injured somewhere else and handed over to the Rangers for MQM's political purposes...many suggest that the PPP and the army chief have been trying to help the floundering MQM
  • May6-2016--the inhumanity in Pakistani society has gone a step further...while lovers or elopers have always found it tough to survive...however in Abbottabad a girl was kidnapped trussed in a car and set on fire for helping a couple elope...!!
  • May5-2016--ordinary hardworking muslims have been so harassed and subjugated by minority and foreign advocacy propaganda that the PMLn has decided to announce that actually Pakistan was created by hindus and Christians...!!!Christians especially were not very obvious in the independence struggle...!and hindus still oppose Pakistan...
  • May5-2016--ex senate chairman booked for assaulting a policeman at the Office of District and Sessions judge...many in the PPP have a poor attitude towards being controlled as do most other political groups
  • May5-2016--PTI alleges PMLn infiltration into their rallies for female intimidation...It could however be the PMLn ally the JUI-f instead or other extremist organisations
  • May5-2016--The soft army chief issues instructions to investigate the death in custody of a mqm militant or supposed farook sattar hitman
  • May5-2016--The PMLn regime due obviously to its nefarious involvements is opposing the suggestion of a grand tribunal that tries all those involved in the Panama leaks...a court in Lahore is already trying a case of the massive foreign investments by the Nawaz Sharif types...!People like Nawaz Sharifs sister own huge high rises in Dubai...
    li>May4-2016--The PPP which itself barely survived the swissgate and surreygate in the Zardaris attempt at Panamisation is supposed by the Dawn to make hay out of Panama gate...while Nawaz Sharif is looking like a corrupt useless ruler that is also what he has done all his life attempting one crookery after the next...!!!Crooked politicians who are never brought to the book are a way of life in pakistan
  • May4-2016--11 TTP men sentenced to death by the army chief
  • May4-2016--The MQM is now so associated with militant behavior that the death of a farook sattar hitman in the custody of Rangers now does not create even a ripple
  • May4-2016--The Pakistan airforce has again been caught on the wrong foot in the matter of acquiring dilapidated old F-16's...The US thinks that we are so desperate that we will pay whatever it asks...as for handling militants even cheap military trainers can be outfitted to handle the bombings and strafing...the US however thinks that they can exact political concessions such as the meaningless Haqqani rhetoric and release of Dr Afridi...apparently the Osama house had already been identified and Dr. Afridi was just a gimmick...The foreign office thinks they can acquire F-16's from elsewhere and that the JF-17B can even be outfitted with French avionics and engines of the Rafale quality..many suggest that the army chief should request the US house committee chairman to come and suggest more places to bomb in Fata...since Pakistan does not have many places left onits list and is doing combing operations in the countries middle or the middle of the indus river...!!!
  • May4-2016--when a primeminister is corrupt than this is what happens...The opposition offered an alternate Panama TOR and sent it to the government and the CJ...The government has already allowed the CJ to make any amendments...Many feel that since government ads have already admitted that Panama shenanigans is corruption but the culprits are the children not the chakri money minting primeminister...recent history shows that the only beneficiary of the Panama companies have been the sharif brothers...even so the government could immediately have asked the attorney general to initiate cases against Mariam, shabaz sharifs wife and the Hasan and Hussain brothers...since they are not so high and mighty to need a commission to determine their guilt...The opposition seems to have their own guilt complexes and could not agree that it is a fit case for the primeminiter to resign and accept culpability and responsibility...But as many know Nawaz Sharif is weak and has no conscience whether it is smuggling, money laundering, tax evasion, handling protestors, beating up mqm hitmen or anything else related to money mongering...despite all the hue and crying about victimization the sharifs have seemingly amassed a substantial amount of wealth and properties here and in England and in Dubai...they have at least three factories and at least five residences apart from england and Raiwind which they also acquired illegally thru government force...they also have a hospital and a medical college but still go to England for even minor ailments...the last medical visit to england was caused by a minor scratch on his throat...!they recently sold their old company for Rs6 billion..probably could not sell anymore ittefak wheat thrashers...the TOR's should mention the oft repeated suitcases...the last suitcase apparently was tobe sent by Khawaja Asif...?and what off the sister or brother in laws Dubai skyscrapers...!!!maybe everyone should be victimized...might be that way the poor would at least have a job...if not a skyscraper...!
  • May3-2016--In his first outing as selector Inzamam comes across as ordinary and seems tobe following orders rather than demonstrating any brilliance...one fails to see the relevance of iftikhar ahmed in the openers when u have a relatively consistent in form Fakre Zaman who has scored centuries in all three formats with an average of 40.86/54.43/31.31..if u are not considering t20 players than many of the fitness camp should be dropped...the utility of two 33 year old new batsmen seems a bit odd when u say that u are looking at the future although with an average of 40 asif zakir should be in the t20 team...also having aging players like misbah(42) younis(39), dried out shoaib malik(34 and bad recent record) and zulfikar baber(38) seem's odd... shezad has a good test record while sami aslam has a vey good one day record...salman butt too has a good recent record and should be a test probable...In fast bowlers hasan ali while taking wickets in all three formats has a poor recent record...people like afridi/umar akmal should be said goodby to for good...the two alrounders are also at best ordinary with bilawal being prone to injury whenever he bowls a few fast deliveries..as for discipline younis khan and yasir shah(chloratidone) are poor selectorial examples...the team seems to have been prepared by the previous selector Haroon Rashid...there can be substantial improvements in the team given the inzamam selectorial principles...asking for inane instant unreasonable support and not providing the technical brilliance necessary in selection also seems a bit too much to ask for...Inzamam should have the courage to invite opponents and discuss the pros and cons of selections and consider any new players that are thrown into the ring...Inzamam obviously is not looking at the future or considering discipline as the basis for selection
  • May2-2016--Pervez Rashis is coming across as pretty stupid many think...first he says they should consider the botoxed panama scam ridden Nawaz Sharif as a buzurg...while age 72 is one criterion the lifetime of illegal activities including coup plots, smuggling, tax evasion, foreign accounts makes him more of a criminal than a buzurg...anyway can Pervez rashid tells us which rascal gave Nawaz sharif and Mariam safdar gifts such as a Pajero and a BMW...since that is not known the chief justice should just add it to the TOR...since a gift to a government functionary has tobe taken over by the government...!!!Nawaz sharif is the biggest chakri and at times even asif zardari looks ordinary in the comparision scales of criminality...

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...!
