- Feb15-2017--The pakistani authorities want to mount a ruthless operation against the potential terror threats Of JuA without any specific information with reference to the lahore blast...The army chief also wants the PSL final in lahore despite the potential threat...The police suggest that threat information was received which was totally non specific..which obviously becomes meaningless...related information suggests that shehryar khan maybe the key man behind the recent spot fixing scandal...Sarfraz Nawaz says he is being threatened with suspension of pension after accusing the top PSL heirarchy of corruption and fixing..!Removal of the islamabad united openers makes them less of a threat to counter the PCB favorites Quetta Gladiators...?Shehryar khan who has come out in support of the stumbling aging skipper Misbah seems also tobe opposed to appointing Sarfraz a one day sepecialist as test skipper...!many others have supported Imad wasim or Baber azam but both have not been in too great form of late...with Baber azam also doing relatively well in the shorter formats
- Feb14-2017--suicide bomber blows himself up outside the punjab assembly where a chemists/druggist protest was going on...13 killed...one DIG and an acting DIG amongst the six policemen killed...attack possibly to retaliate against recent police actions against LJ or house arrest of hafiz saeed...JuA claims responsibility...a breakaway mohmand based taleban faction...recently interior minister was critisized by SC judge Isa for being soft on the JuA

- Feb10-2017--In what looks like a bad case of maladministration the pakistan army promotes another 37 brigadiers to major generals despite over 50 superceded major generals lying around...!if the superceded major generals can work on DG level positions they should be promoted or otherwise summarily retired...!since most DG level positions are occupied the new major generals will not find positions to gain experience...and in theory should not have been promoted...!!
- Feb10-2017--six suspected AQIS and TTP militants killed by police in encounter near karachi...police still uncovering or killing militants involved in peshawar APS college atatck
- Feb10-2017--The ECP tells PSP that it cannot use national flag during meetings as a party flag...!
- Feb10-2017--The SC stopped three sharif family sugar mills to from cane crushing declaring that they had shifted the mills to the south punjab a cotton growing area despite a 2006 bann to do so...despite various court orders the shahbaz sharif regime amended the 2006 order which the court declared tobe a conflict of interest only meant to benefit the sharif family...it referred the case back to the LHC CJ for a final judgement...!
- Feb2-2017--A PTI mna has asked to find out the expenses on Jati Umra which is the primiministers camp office...?apparently the chief minister punjab has spent Rs364.4 million of punjab government money to build a wall around Jati Umra...she also wanted to know who paid for the expenses of 2700 policemen assigned to the primeministers family...!The sharifs are apparently running four homes on government money...
- Feb2-2017--most stents are of US/european make...none are imported from korea or china so where do the substandard stents come from at the Mayo hospital...they found irish and german ones...the problem CJ sahib is not substandard stents as there are 68 approved varieties...nor is it possible to insert a stent without need..most blood clots have tobe compressed and a stent installed...the only problem is the high cost...cardiologists in government hospitals are just minting money...!in most cardiology deptts and hospitals agents are standing around to supply a stent...!
- Feb2-2017--Nawaz Sharifs Qatari policy of Panama defense is in danger of unraveling after it was revealed that Nawaz Sharif went on a two hour road trip with the qatari ambassador while recuperating in england...most argue that the only topic discussed was loans and money for the sharif's expenses...!another hoopla being batted around was a horse that Nawaz Sharif was unable to gift to the Qatari ruler for which he had even arranged an airforce plane...another report was of 16 pakistani-bangla employees of the qatari ruler arrested in balochistan after they broke thru a checkpost...!
- Feb2-2017--with agriculturists long having enjoyed ADBP loans of around 6-8% three PMLn legislators suggest that the government is favoring industry over them...ADBP supposedly has around Rs80 billion to lend to small and medium farmers...!
- Feb1-2017--The ISPR spokesman comes on strongly to condemn discussions in the public sphere...The army chief annoyed at not being consulted on Hafiz Saeed wanted to know from Nawaz Sharif the reasons for the sudden change in policy...apparently three years into their current reign they found that the PPP had made serious mistakes...!however initially Nawaz Sharif said that he was in the dark about the policy change and things would become apparent in a few days...The ISPR chief seems quite adamant on imposing his own censorhip on the media...suggesting that discussions in the media caused problems between the army and the government...a few days ago he referred to a news item questioning the allottment of 60 acres of land to Raheel Shareef tobe army bashing...he forgot that the initial criticism had come from within the army causing Raheel Shareef to hand over the land to the shuhada foundation...!!
- Feb1-2017--The actions against Hafiz Saeed come on the dubious grounds of a change in national interests...something that only the ISPR spokesman is aware of...!According to Maj. Gen Asif Ghafoor our institutions are inherently weak and discussions weakens them further..one sees clear hints of a selective pathetic attitude common amongst the uneducated army...asif ghafoor probably needs tobe sent on a course to study policy and learn how to address issues...maybe a stint assisting the foreign office spokesman would benefit his mindset...!
- Feb1-2017--The Nawaz Sharif economic henchman says that fears about a 60.2% debt to GDP ratio are overblown and says that the ratio was the same in the PPP era...since according to him debt has fallen to 9.75% annually so somehow the GDP must have shrunk considerably...!!
- Feb1-2017--one of the Panama judges undergoes an angioplasty and apparently the doctors mistakenly inserted an unapproved Korean stent...!judges tell hussain lawyer that withholding evidence is a big gamble...!The SC is also these days concerned at the use of unapproved stents and the various types involved...initially stents were very expensive but now are apparently 10% of the cost with cheaper variants available...however doctors even at government hospitals continue to charge upto two lakhs per insertion of a stent...a stent is almost always required as there is no way to open an artery without compressing the clot...!
