The Daily PakistanPolitics (aka Pakistan Punch/Political Punch) Sep16-30, 2023

Sep30-2023--a  suicide blast killed a DSP amongst 53 other participants of a rabbi al awwal rally in  mastung

Sep29-2030--In AJK anti electricity protests gain strength as people torch bills and throw them into rivers...

Sep29-2030--caretaker fM says over 200 TTP men arrested in Afghanistan

Sep29-2030--Farukh Habib a PTI anti police/army leader alongwith his father and brothers arrested in Gawader from they were expected to  go into iran  for exile...he is supposedly from Murree...probably on the run since may9

Sep27-2023--A colon(breast /urinary/bone etc.) cancer injection Avastin(monoclonal antibody) Swiss manufactured has been administered by our generally technically deficient doctors to 68 diabetic eye patients all over Punjab who have developed varying degrees of vision loss/blindness. Government has allocated beds for them in three major hospitals for treatment...the manufacturer says that it is not designed for diabetic eye problems. A senior Pakistani doctor who is the health minister in Punjab says it is non-conforming/off label use and only 1.2mg is injected or infused into eyes...the use is now banned...they say the small quantity injections are being repackaged here...Dr Javed Akram (specialized healthcare) and Dr Jamal Nasir (primary healthcare) Punjab ministers are heading a 10-member committee...

27-Sep-2023--the disappearance of a television anchor has been resolved after four months...seemingly he might have been kidnapped/taken by two PTI workers who are as yet unknown...it was generally believed that he might be in police custody, but police say he willingly left leaving jail in a vehicle...The courts must apologize to the police if the disappearance was a willing process to evade being accused of arson activities...apparently the judges were threatening the police and their patience was wearing thin...

27-Sep-2023--Kakar now says that he does not know who will be minused in the elections. Imran and Nawaz sharif both will/can probably have situations where they might not be able to participate...Kakar first said that he did not know whether Nawaz sharif will be handcuffed and that would be the police responsibility. Usually only the FIA is present at the airport...Now Sarfraz Bugti the dubiously short interior minister has said that he would be arrested on arrival as no trouble could be allowed at the airport...That places the Nawaz sharif position in a quandary given the different voices in the caretakers, judiciary and PMLn...technically he has to surrender to the courts...who can grant bail/send him to jail...the situation is different from the past returns of politicos...that leaves the army with the position of taking any position wrt to the two...The army chief has reiterated that nobody would be allowed to take the law into their own hands like the PTI...!

26-Sept-2026..a judge who has previously declared several judges referred to the SJC as honest has sent his opinion to the  CJ on ten complaints against Justice Naqvi...who is accused...apart from certain observations made in a judgement he also set aside the treason judgement against musharaf..he is also accused of manipulating his tax returns and selling properties to legalize other dubious incomes...something that seems typical among judges and lawyers...!

Sep26-2023--a dubious caretaker Kaker NAB case according to them closed on merit..the case was about corruption and corrupt practices  in a baluchistan nGO...!

Sep26-2023--Khawar maneka the former husband of imrans wife has been arrested for illegally building 26 shops and a marriage hall on 4 canal land of a graveyard, haveli lakha and renting them out for 26 million and not paying any taxes and municipal dues...!he also tried to leave the country but was on a no fly list...

Sep26-2023--The PMLn narratives fight is confusing as they are on all sides...

Sept25-2023--all their(baluchistan) gas or most of it has  been going to karachi since 1955...

Sep25-2023--Kakar in response to american queries came out a bit  and said that those jailed for arson and other offences such as cipher etc. could not make an election unfair..it is the general idea that imran will have to contend with several sentences...but with a  SC which has his supporters he will probably go into the elections with cases sort of pending...he also reiterated that the ECP chief was imrans appointee even though he does not have to follow anyones orders...he even ridiculed thoughts of military interventions in elections...

Sep24-2023--there seems some unease in Nawaz sharifs demand for accountability in ousting him by bajwa, faiz hameed who mounted an anti PMLn campaign also in the imran era and crooked CJ's saqib nisar and asif khosa...they point to what happened to musharraf who was also put up at a flat in london..even if he could get them into exile that would be a success...the army chief already has faiz hameed under isolated house arrest but is supposedly friends with bajwa...The CJ's were imran men or opposed personally  to nawaz...a full fledged military team was sending in questions and responses to...the cases concerned...but thats what generally happens in Pakistan

Sep24-2023--Solangi predicts lower oil prices while ejaz gohar says dollar to fall to 250 as the army chief fights economic terrorism on the borders...!oil prices however inching towards $100...

Sep24-2023--CDA seeks subsidized plot for ECP chief when he has already received one plot..Kakar on his way to London supposedly to meet Nawaz Sharif to discuss handcuffs...!

Sep23-2023--as expected the cruel Kakar increases electricity tariff by Rs3.28 for six months without any adequate reasons

Sep23 Shebaz sharif on a sudden visit back to London to straighten out brother on issues...he had just returned

Sep23-2023--continuing on the IMF theme of tax the rich and put everyone on BISP...many think that nawaz sharif, shebaz sharif and the fledgling Kakar should be held in contempt by the people for the electricity tariff mess..Nawaz Sharif started the IPP's and created the biggest problem in capacity charges...shebaz sharif increased electricity charges to Rs50..and the new suit everyday  Kakar introduced the meaningless quarterly charges..charging the three under NAB would be a big day for consumers...many think the rich power producers should also pay their share and capacity charges should be reduced by 10% every year...new agreements should not include any capacity charges...that should bring some relief to rich and poor consumers...others think that Sajjad Ghani, all Disco heads and the Nepra chief should also be charged under NAB for dereliction...still others think that the armed forces and power sectors salaries be reduced by 10% to pay for the electricity tariffs...!and we should put up the IMF people at B&B's...

Sep22-2023--The Election Commission has defined a possible election schedule of 54 days sans a election date...why everyone is afraid of a date is unclear...apparently Jan28 will be the possible election date in that scenario...The ECP has left the whole months of Oct/Nov for complaints/objections against delimitations as the preliminary delimitations list will be published on Sep27......if everyone just accepts the delimitations the elections could be held two months earlier i.e., end of November i.e., almost within 90days...! or objections to delimitations could be held simultaneously with the election schedule or be dealt with after the elections...

Sep22-2023--The IMF chief apparently told the dumb Kakar that she wanted him to tax the rich...he responded u mean Punjabis...!he has only mounted a electricity theft campaign against a few people in Punjab...here in Pakistan they i.e. the establishment and rich politicians regard everyone as rich barring four or five million people(Pakistan's population is around 225 million)...we would be happy if the IMF chief could come to Pakistan and define who she thinks is rich...below is the  luxuriously rich IMF building in Washington...!There is none who is poor inside the IMF building...so i must say that the IMF has no idea about real poverty ... there is only a poor classification in Pakistan... those who use less than 200 electricity units(before it was 100 units and before that 50 units) and those who qualify for BISP...She should be more clear in her classification of who should be taxed...There is also a classification of filers and nonfilers (people who file for income tax and who do not...nonfilers are taxed more). Generally many regard 30-40% people as below the poverty line...the people would be very happy if the government policies were reflective of aiding people in the general poverty bracket...there is another classification that recently emerged those earning Rs.40000 a month do not need free atta...!


Sep20-2023--Discos despite the massive tariff hike and 74% of power generation from cheap fuels seek Rs1.83 in FCA in Oct bills..This seems clear cut fraud ..many think the discos are using the FCA for whatever they want even massive bills non payment which many think is expected to increase...

Sep19-2023--The supposedly Putin run PTI  came out of hiding to protest selling of munitions to Ukraine by Pakistan to get desperately needed IMF funds with US help...The Intercept story a popular place for PTI propaganda denied by Pakistan foreign office...PTI says they want strict neutrality...similarly many point out that the buying of russian oil would also aid the russian war effort...The ukrainians are not in need of pakistani type small arms and bullets etc....as the fight  is more in the realm of drones...however indians say Pakistan Ordnance Factories (POF) is all set to send 159 containers of 155mm artillery shells, M4A2 propelling bag charges, M82 primers, and PDM fuses to Ukraine...Pakistan is known as a production hub for the types of basic munitions needed for grinding warfare...PTI has again started its anti US  campaign targeting Donald Lu..many think that the pTi is an almost anti US  communist agent...Ukraine has a long history of ammunition/military sales to Pakistan..Pakistan acquired 300 T80UD tanks from Ukraine thru Poland and they also supplied us tank engines...apart from the ammunition sales the pakistanis will also repair ukraines T80ud tanks for $86 million...in exchange pakistan will also get knowhow to repair MI17 transport helicopters...the intercept story points out that because of all this Pakistan could delay elections and rough up the PTI...

Sep19-2023--Qazi Faiz Isa took over as CJ of the SC in place of the much reviled Bandial who was not even allowing judges to dissent...he went straight into a 15 judge full court on the  Practices and Procedures law aired directly on television...while 15 judges looked too much  for the simple law its opponents said that it reduced the authority of the CJ and only the CJ could make the rules.....the judges seemed to fade as there was not much to wrangle about on the case and seemed to suggest that it has more todo with the CJ than the court...however it seemed that the judges started to support the law as time wore on...the opposition kept insisting it was not a law and ridiculed the suggestions of the legislature in cutting the CJ down to size...however the new CJ seems to have no problems consulting senior judges on admin matters and consulting on initiating  184(3) and giving a right to appeal to its judgement on suo motu...lets see where this goes...a more open court that is not authoritarian in nature is a good idea...Isa thought the full court would interfere with normal cases.. they could easily wind it up saying there is no reason to challenge the law on fundamental rights or for other reasons...

Sep19-2023--LHC issues non bailable warrants for Islamabad IG 

Sep19-2023--ECP says that delimitation maybe complete by Sep26..a new monitoring system to take care of complaints and transmitting results put in place to replace 2018's RTS...voters, candidates and others will be able to make complaints and candidates could be immediately disqualified...!results could be transmitted via online, offline or hardcopy ...!..

Sep19-2023--Nawaz Sharif and his supporters should straighten out their views on the interim shebaz sharif government...reducing the population to the level of paupers and than saying they were doing it for this and that reason is totally unethical...The people too can shift support when they are going to be subject to the same sort of policies...the people can no longer wait for four years or ten years...suggesting that they will kick their supporters in the butt tobe in government seems tobe a silly point of view...The people should realize that Nawaz Sharif will run the same type of IMF run price escalation government like shebaz sharif...as dollar moves towards $100 whoever comes to power will  prove tobe a another Kakar. or even worse a shebaz..fighting the demons of the past like asif saeed khosa, saqib nisar, past isi chiefs and army chiefs will prove counterproductive...the people  hardly care about fighting military and isi chiefs as imran has already found out...and there is not not much u can do about past SC chiefs...

How it all started...coups and politics and islam and democracy...
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...!
