The Daily PakistanPolitics (aka Pakistan Punch/Political Punch) May16--31, 2023

May30-2023--the Pakistan 1973 constitution writing committee is now in plaster statues at the senate museum..prominent maulanas of the time and abdul hafeez pirzada were key particiapants


May30-2023--Sheikh Rashid says he was not on talking terms with shehzad akber who was also associated with the interior ministry...everybody has some knowledge of the qadir case and the interior minister not knowing about is surprising...the travelling of a brief case from Bahria  to imran was documented

May30-2023--Imran fires of 10 billion notice against health minister who said that imran had no fracture in his leg and was faking it...traces of alcohol and a illegal drug were also found in his urine..and that his mental stability was questionable...Imran has shown a surprising recovery from his leg injury since being checked by Pims doctors...before he was moving around on a wheelchair...

May30-2023--Imran summoned by punjab JIT to investigate his involvement in the corp commanders house attack case..imran and chaudhry fawad have been prominent in saying at various times what would happen if imran was arrested...others say that the orders for the May9 attacks were given six months ago by party leaders..the JIT to meet today at Qilla Gujjar singh police station

May30-2023--CJ Bandial says he was just trying to defend the courts power against the audio leaks commission...many feel that he has done it out of fear of audio leaks which were supposedly meant to affect his judgement...he supposedly indicated that most leaks came from something called 'indibell'...he could easily have done it after the audio leaks commission had concluded its job...a  commission can only verify audio leaks and see who was behind them...

May30-2023--The Jehangir tareen group has again resurfaced to try to absorb the almost  70 PTI walahs who have quit the Pti  under the current situation..some are very prominent types and could provide the JT group a bigger stake in the next elections...it is not the PMLn who needs leaders even though they too like the PPP would like to pick a few...there are already several prominent types in the JT group...they just probably have to select a matching name and start running...Jehangir Tareen had been disqualified for not mentioning a 12 acre property he owned in england...the new party could be called JTi...as jehangir tareen could appeal his lifetime disqualification..otherwise aleem khan , PTI discards could be in the running ...people mention the chaudhry shujaat factor however it does not have a key leader leading it...however if the Pti somehow falters the PMLq and JTi could be challenging the PPP and PMLn...as Punjab is the only province that could divide the votes and seats

May30-2023--the corp commander house raid by the Pti is becoming the real focus of imrans opposition even in the PTI...shaitan ibn shaitan imran called rana Sanaullah a certified criminal and insisted that his defence confirmed  women were being raped in prison...the most prominent apart from imran's usual chaprasi types seems tobe khadija shah...prominent daughter of salman shah and grandaughter of former army chief asif nawaz janjua...there are apparently 32 pti women criminals in jail for the attack on the corp commanders house..the punjab government sent in officials to check the jail and said that the women are held in a women only prison with a female doctor and two female health workers...some 11 women are still on remand

May27-2023--the government apparently cancelled a zoom meeting that imran had arranged with a group of UK mp's...methinks such a meeting should be arranged with government participants if a real tone is expected...in this connection two journalists are said to have disappeared ..one had been apprehended by the police while the others assailants were not identified...Sami ibrahim is said tobe a key military antagonist 

May27-2023--Imran now suddenly wants talks with the powers that be...supposedly according to him that means the army...upto now talks have been i think held twice...the first time they arrived at a decision on a amendment to the NAB law and imran and azhar torpedoed that..the second and recent was the talks on the elections...only a decision on holding elections on one day  was reached after which the Pti walked away...talks can only be held when both parties can benefit...imran seems to have a party floundering on his one man views about opposition to the army and he generally continues to insult everyone...he also denies responsibility for initiating one of the most terrible violence , arson and military assaults in pakistans history...so what does he want to talk about...whats happening is a reaction to his own actions...if there is no one hiding in zaman park than he should get the search over and done with..only pervez elahi of his leadership has not been found by police...so he must either be an escape artist or hiding at zaman park and probably some of the corp commander home attackers...

May27-2023--Justice Bandial who is himself involved as a target for audio leaks has suspended the audio leaks commission saying it insults the higher courts..i dont think the commission could have been any higher in the setup and its job technically was to check the authencity of the audio leaks...the CJ should have allowed it as it would have given the court a halo and stature that it has lost in due course...but the action focuses doubt on the judges intentions and role...

May27, 2023-- strange contradictions in the Pti and Imran behaviour...he says the PTI is not responsible for the violence and arson on May9...than why is he worried about arsonists being tried under the army act..senior leaders of his party were present at the corp commanders house and the attack on GHQ...his secretary general of 13 months  could not control the parties violence or the meaningless 11 month PTI protests. it is now well known that imran left the government in collusion with shahbaz sharif orders.....people like peace and quite and general security and the army under article 245 somehow succeeds in providing that...so why the opposition to the army on the streets...he says his party is not involved...senior leaders of his party led protests and blocked key roads in KP and assaults on military infrastructure..somehow there was no element of anti government protests...mostly it was focused on an anti state/infrastructure(burning metro stations and police vehicles/anti military attitude...party hacks know how the funds were expropriated by imran for himself...khata khud he aur kaam hum karte hen...case in point...he flies to madina in a plane with wife and supposed friend who some say was his wifes handler...  whom he also took to davos, switzerland...saying he would handle the economy/israel...while ordinary workers have to walk to medina...!many also point to his sudden healing of a fractured or painful leg...

May26-2023--twin blast in zardalo, Harnai kill two..Harnai is a restive coal mine area in balochsitan..an SHO killed in an operation near dera bugti..a soldier lost his life in Tirah..while polio team attack injures three police officers

May26-2023--Martyrs Day...who do u think is the primeminister..imran says it is an undeclared martial law...article 245 is just for calling out the army in aid of the civil government...the days of violence he perpretrated necessitated that...things continue to evolve and move on...the govt trying to get hold of all the arsonists and military attackers ..PTI losing leaders at a fast pace...a commission on audio leaks..the CJ tries to take notice saying his nani's audio is an internal matter...imran trying to hang onto a favorable judiciary for dear life..government resisting the idea of banning the PTI like other militant organizations...and imrans tinka ka sahara...if u leave the party i  will remove them from the parties whatsapp..who cares about that..imran continues his one man dictatorship of his party


May25-2023--imran again refers to an ideology as yet unknown saying that parties cannot be crushed...while large parties donot suffer as much there is always a withering of the wine under a sustained assault that depicts  characteristics of the parties illogical behaviour like May 9 when the party literally went up against the state not the government...while imran tries desperately to seperate himself from the perpretrators he is losing supporters by suggesting that he and the party were not responsible..his anti military assaults have floundered from  earlier thoughts that he might have been hard done by the establishment...!

May25-2023--Today is the first Martyrs day in Pakistan after the military declared May 9 as a black day in response to Pti violence...The military largely unnerved by the Pti hostilities said that they would not allow the honour of their shaheeds to be degraded/diminished/tarnished...upto now Mar23 and Sept6 and 7 have been military pomp and shows and remembrance of wars when shaheeds were publically remembered...there have been some dubious attitudes towards naming internal casaulties of the military, police and paramilitaries as shaheeds as the fight is against internal/pakistani  insurgents and militants and includes civilian casaulties...this has been complicated with political agitationists being declared shaheeds/heros by their organizations like the PPP,  Mqm and recently the PTI who have also recently claimed 25 shaheeds...all that aside one would suggest that real military shaheeds be given a seperate  burial ground in the capital where they can be revered...most shaheeds have been buried in their own areas...some with memorial towers/monuments...people do revere and remember the shaheeds of the 1965 war..but other wars like 1971 and insurgences are best forgotten...the sole outstander being captan karnal sher sher khan of mardan who died in the Kargill war...and considered a brave warrior...Wikipedia lists 15 conflicts in which Pakistan was involved including internal insurgencies..the PTI also desecrated the monument of karnal sher khan... Pakistanis do remember their dead and converge on graveyards on a specific day to wash and clean and pray at their ancestors graves...

May24-2023--PTI should understand that even in cricket vicious bouncers can be bowled...and u duck and weave or hit it for six..however what u dont do is to start digging up the pitch, attacking the umpire and beating up the groundsman or camera man...or set fire to the pavillion

May24-2023--rumours mill apparently has  imrans trusted pirni as receiving calls from primeministerial aspirants...most would like to find out if she could project them to power and what the cost would be...imran and bushra are considered to have a great love for money...while imran apparently married her because she said that he would profit or benefit...while the monetary profit and becoming primeminister  was  successful... probably she sold him out towards the latter end of his political career and created immense problems for him...popularity and government are two different things...maybe imran would have been better of an as an actor..

May24-2023--Khawaja Asif says banning Pti being considered..questions are being asked as to whether the Pti is against the state, government, military or the entire concept of the country...while Faisal Wavda blames ex ISI chief for al qadir trust corruption...what we know is that the money and land deeds were sent directly to imran thru shahzad akber...

May24-2023--six militants killed in south waziristan operation

May24-2023--today imran came up with a statement that he would step down if (unknown adjudicators think that he is the problem)...since he brought the country to this juncture with his year long insidious protests, wild attacks on the military, USA and Bajwa and recent  arson, riots and physical assaults on military installations..it would be a normal conclusion that he is responsible...it would definitely ease  things if he replaced the parties chairman and resigned from politics...in statements recently he has also opposed elections in October questioning what they would solve...elections are not a panacea but a means to bring in a new government...imran should realize that the dictatorship of a few is not a government...that could lead us to a military coup or a government by a Bajwa type...we could even bring in Raheel Shareef who is a milder sort of general...

this is the way security men holding bullet proof shields escort imran in islamabad...these days

May23-2023--PTi inits head butt first and thinking later attitude has a initiated a case in the SC to oppose the use of the army act... specifically prosecuting attacks on military infrastructure under the army act...that would at least ensure that some rioters get preventive detention the only deterrent that is available in pakistan...they also oppose the summoning of the military under article 245...that was regarded as one of the only methods to stop violence, arson and riots...they also want the court to look into the crackdown on the party...many think the governments actions are justified ...since the party planned and executed the riots to almost perfection one does not oppose that either...the governments actions against some of the Pti's top leaders has resulted in many jumping ship/positions...jumping ship is one step that Pti leaders can take to avoid harassment and jail...however those just stepping down from Pti positions will  flow  with the  tide...however many leaders are stepping away from the Pti because of its assaults on military infrastructure...as Fawad chaudhry said Pakistan may not survive without its army...

May22-2023--Imran has done another tumble and now says that he is completely happy with Donald Lu and wants other US officials to give statements against the government...he also says that he will help arrest PTI arsonists and rioters despite protesting that 10000 are under arrest..government on the other hand showed its weaknesses by agreeing to not charge civilian rioters under the military act...only those who acted against  army installations will be charged under the army act...imran wants us to believe that yasmin rashid had gone to the corp commanders house to stop pti rioters fron entering...earlier a pti walahs audio said she had urged them  to set fire to the corp commanders house...imran now has also done  a tumble on military relations saying he supports the militaries defence objectives and his previous allegations would weaken the army...he for the third straight day said he would be arrested..he has been talking to the administration on searching his huge palace for hidden arsonists and rioters and military attackers..he again said that he would be attacked by a fanatic...

May22-2023--Dawn suggests that exports can be increased and used instead of loans... what we have seen is  that exports are stagnating, imports are increasing and  that there were only an increase in exports post the covid era otherwise there is stiff competition..however there is a potential for substantial decrease in imports if Pakistan maintains status quo...there is literally no room left for more export oriented industries with higher prices...the dollar rise has already shown no comparable effect on exports...

May22-2023--two soldiers and three militants die in exchange of fire in Tank.

 May20-2023--Imran continues to parade his views on arson...assault on military offices and bases and riots as some sort of demented ideology...just compare his parties treatment by judges of a supposedly weak frightened terrified mind...The Gawadar bachao movement  consisted of demos of peaceful sitting people...the maulana who organised them has just been released after 4 months...compare this to the three days of imran or less of other PTI leaders...if this is not some sort of bias or akrabaparwari than i donot know english...the peaceful protests in gawader were considered a threat to the chinese who i think must regard the people as some sort of opponent as does the military...the military chief who at least supposedly went to gawader and ordered some face saving acts as opposed to the nasty corp commander...there...imran one must say must take responsibility and stop his partymen from such violent and terrible attitudes...shirin mazaro spent the entire day asking the UN to take actions against Pakistan...there is now no doubt that the Pti had already prepared a plan of widespread arson and riots on imrans arrest that was enacted by shah mahmood qureshi...fawad chaudhry was to be the other leader of the riots but he supposedly backed down...

May20-2023--JI emir survives a suicide attack on his convoy in Zhob...!

May20-2023--Shahid Karim another of the PTI judges sets aside at least the acceptance of 53/72 PTI mnas resignations...and asked them to individually meet the speaker.

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...

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...!
