The Daily PakistanPolitics (aka Pakistan Punch/Political Punch) Nov1-15, 2023


Nov15-2023--IHC stops imrans  in jail cipher trial

Nov15-2023--In what seems tobe a prepared instant reaction to baber azams exploits of almost total failure the PCB fired baber azam as captain from all three formats after he supposedly resigned...Shan masood a doubtful selectee made test captain..this had been talked about during new zealands last tour...Afridi made t20 captain and all coaches transferred to the national cricket academy if they want...bowling coach resigned...mohd hafeez barely out of his playing days made director of cricket...no one appointed to the one day captaincy...the PCB probably prefers failed spinner shadab khan or failed wicketkeeper batsman sarfraz who dubious cricketer mohd hafeez said he liked playing under......however one thinks they are  too close to the reasons for failure  and they might look at the possibilities of mohd rizwan, fakhar and imamul haq...!shadab khan is also a niazi and could have the same destructive anti pakistan  arsonist ideas as the other niazi imran ...The PCB should look for a more brilliant spinner and probably brighter middle order players..one blames baber azam despite his steady innings as he was just not as blazing as indian players, warner, quinton etc...Baber Azams record seems a mixture of wins and losses and clear failure in big tournaments...his win percentage as captain is less than  50%..probably only a slightly better captain in t20's...

                                      Tests played  49-wins 10-lost six(wins losses as captain)(as captain played  20)

                                  Odis played  117-wins 26-lost 16(wins and losses as captain)(as captain played 43)

                                  T20's played 104-41 wins-lost 23(wins and losses as captain)(as captain played 71)

Nov14-2023--three killed in DI Khan oil firm attack..two security personnel also killed in north Waziristan

Nov14-2023--imran also arrested in toshahkhana and al-qadir trust cases

Nov14-2023--This not a crime review...baber azam would only be indicted for a crime if he sold out to bookies or virat kohli or bet against his team...if baber azam is too young than he should gain experience as a player first...it is not that there is just one mistake ...he just did not analyze the other teams properly and whoever wanted to... thrashed pakistan at will...maybe he should retire and open a tire shop whose ads he is appearing in every day...!...sic...just for example if u look at where shubman gill plays all the balls he hits are almost above  the same level...so it would be appropriate not to bowl short at him...that sort of thing is researched by the coaches and Baber Azam was obviously not given the benefits of a specialist batting coach...!The job of coaches is not to watch the match and wince and frown but to work  before the matches...

now in this photo baber azam looks like a jailbait...but not a criminal... how abdul razzaq quizzically suggested that it happens when Aishwarya bears a virtuous child...!what razzaq meant was that there is always some bad intention/intentions somewhere...! eg being a pakistani u like virat kohli than there is something anti pakistan in intent at least...

Nov13-2023--Justice retd arshad husein shah sworn in as KP caretaker CM

Nov13-2023--Butler survives despite a poor one day worldcup...stokes goes for an operation and malan/woakes/adil rashid also dropped despite a goodish  record...it seems that there was some controvery between the english teams senior players bringing on a laikadaisical nature at times... mark wood one of the fastest bowlers did not like being dropped whenever ...england probably needed phil salt and ben duckett...to stir up things...as both openers dropped or rested...england also suffered from reece topleys injury...and stokes injury...harry brookes/moeen ali also did not deliver...

Nov12-2023--today Dawn comes up with the view that Nawaz does not want the ladla tag...everyone likes being a ladla......apparently the situation seems that bilawal maybe a ladla in sindh but we are the kings in Punjab...Bilawal obviously does not know his history...zulfikar ali bhutto(a ayub khan minister and tashkent rebel) exiled the sharifs first after nationalizing their sole factory and when the coup came nawaz sharifs father called him 'puttar fauj agaye he wapis ajao..."...the fauj returned his factory and the rest is history...however he still blames them from delaying pakistans and his industrial/lawyer(he dropped out of george mason) destiny...the hostility towards the sharifs is historical in the bhutto's or PPP types...than the activist punjab judiciary and ziaul haq hanged bhutto...since than sharifs collaboration has been almost continuous leading to the IJI coalition and changa manga after he made his fortunes in punjab politics...but the ups and downs have been their alongwith two exiles, coups and constitutional topplings ending with benazirs assassination... a period of calm ensued with the prominencof a dubious judicial activism that was directly against politicians and primeministers... which ended with the PTI riots in May2023...the animosity and chagra with nawaz sharif may have ended and probably the fauj now seems comfortable with nawaz after the imran imbroglio...the fauj does not want to mix governance or its control with arsonists and typical anti fauji attitudes but who will tell that to the pti supporting judges...while primeministers always get into some trouble with the fauj and the iSI... Nawaz hopes to smoothe his way into some  sort of power...however the ladla's always need the peoples votes...and Nawaz will have to work on his core group supports which were upended by the pukhtun afghan anti sharif  coalition...probably a different election and Bilawal probably lacking zardari's experience might be looking at the anti fauj vote in the  PTI ranks and attracting his supporters/ lotas back from the PTI...  which i suppose several parties want to attract and divy up...i dont think that the PPP can gain much support opposing/ridiculing  Nawaz Sharif and taking punjabis for fools...they have seen the pukhtun dynasty crumble and probably a new situation will eventually develop and if Nawaz Sharif succeeds... he'll be the  kingmaker or primeminister again...!The contest at this stage is between Nawaz and Bilawal and it remains tobe seen what happens eventually in terms of the PTI and imran...

Nov12-2023--in what could provoke a constitutional crisis the KP chief minister has passed away...no clear method on how to appoint a CM in a caretaker setup...azam khan made a career out of the caretakers setup...the previous appointees are now out of government...

Nov12-2023--Asad Umar who has been treated with kid gloves by the establishment has retired completely from politics...he had been kicked out of the pTi by imran after resigning as the PTI secretary general..he says he disagreed with the policy of confrontation followed by imran...asad umar was at odds with imrans attitude in the past too...

Nov11-2023--court orders unfreezing of Nawaz Sharif and his families assets...his assets include shares in four companies, eight accounts, a landcruiser, two mercedes, two tractors, properties in murree and changla gali and agricultural land in sheikhupura and lahore measuribg 88 kanals and 105 acres...PPP's latent hostility against the PMLn comes to the fore with Bilawal labeling it as the kings party and wants a level playing field...probably it shows the desire for the backing of the establishment...technically only one party and smaller support groups are supported by the powers that be...it is just like the PPP wont allow the PMLn into interior sindh and the PMLn too has the desire to safeguard Punjab as its turf...

Nov11-2023--Justice Mazhar Naqvi objects to composition of the SJC even the Cj as chairman...apparently the judge is also involved in audio leaks and is being investigated by a CJ Isa led audio leaks commission......There are a whopping 29 complaints against the judge and he also complains that the complaints have not been provided to him...! the composition of the SJC is a constitutional setup which include CJ SC , one or two seniormost judges and two provincial high court judges...

Nov11-2023--Solangi says that future governments will have no options to change things...something similar to what shebaz sharif wanted...!however if u look at the recent three governments all had different policies...just look at afghan policy...so a new government has to follow its own thinking...

Nov10-2023--PIA whose problems just go on increasing is supposedly going to be privatised... ..something that was planned over and over again...PIA whose net worth is almost zero seems unable to even pay for fuel...most of its planes are old and the rest are on lease...its schedule uncertain ..government supposedly will take up its debt and useless employees will be let go...nobody has any sympathy left for around 20000 employees...so if its other units are seperated  than its just some old planes and buildings...the new owner probably wont need the buildings too..so if u ask anybody for a bid they might look at u in surprise as most arab airlines have over a hundred newer planes ...even Egypt Air has 67 new planes...The name PIA just means failure...most airlines have their own international network and that only leaves PIA's domestic setup...best sell it some local airline if they can manage...china air and qatar airways could do it as a charitable act...other options include fauji foundation...or might be muslim commercial airways...!airlines like turkish airlines and thai air fly to almost destinations daily...

Nov10-2023--health minister in two ministers and the center are a bit dubious in intent..in sindh the health minister cancelled the contract for robotic surgery systems for three government run hospitals..the chief minister  a dubious former CJ type said he he knew nothing and went off to the SIUT  to find what sort of robot did surgeries...the health minister said he was interfering in his deptt...in punjab which has two health ministers they ran a charade in which a dubious cancer injection was injected into the eye and more than sixty patients went blind...the centers health minister trying to reinvent the bHUs by repairing numerous BHU's which were lying unused or in disrepair or had no staff... with the intention that islamabads two hospitals would be relieved of their burdens...this is an old theory which failed repeatedly...the dispensary type bhu's were either lacking staff or basic medicines..unless BHU's have basic things like blood testing, x-rays, ultrasound and most important a couple of doctors and ample medicines they will fail again...he also wants to charge the affluent at government hospitals...while the health minister in kp has withdrawn private hospitals from the sehaat card...

Nov9-2023--CJ Qazi faez isa backs down on a complaint  against loot and plunder by Faiz hameed ex isi chief  and redirects the complainant to the army institution and lower courts......complainant accuses faiz hameed of malicous raids and occupation of his housing soceity with Rangers and iSI men involved and looting cash and 400 tolas of gold in iSI raids...!in another complaint a women said that the  complainant had looted her properties...one wonders when a fundamental right can be invoked...only when imran and the PTI are involved...!when the countries supposedly top class intelligence agency does bad things to an individual does not that violate the citizens fundamental right of security...!Isa seems tobe on dubious grounds on this one...

Nov9-2023--Kakar leaves no doubt that he is on the warpath with afghanistan as well as the people of Pakistan as terrorism has grown 60% in two years..He terms afghan leaders remarks on deportation as threatening. He is attempting to deport illegal afghans in Pakistan and setting up holding centers...afghans term the pakistan process as cruel but they are not controlling supposed perpretrators of terrorism in Pakistan supposedly the TTP...

Nov8-2023--mirpur observes complete strike against inflated power bills...as caretakers health ministers  anti people venom lands on affluent patients in govt hospitals...who will be charged...real affluent people dont go to government hospitals..many regard the peoples problems are mostly related to three or four groups...Discos, pharma companies, Nestle and the hospital system...

Nov8-2023--PMLn and mqm-P agree to cooperate and form an alliance after the polls...MQMp says at the moment it is just a seat adjustment...PMLn looking at alliances in provinces as the PPP/PTI and grumble about the situation...specifically the PPP wanted an alliance with the PTI while the PMLn wants to avoid the iPP/PMLq...JUIF, PTIp could come out in front in KP with the PTi as  a third force..the PTi looks badly positioned in sindh and Punjab too while many think that the IPP  and PMln could fight for the spoils in the Punjab...

Nov8-2023--two more cops killed in DI khan when armed men attacked a camp office of an oil company

Bov8-2023--Kakar turning Discos into terrorist looters and plunderers as he gives them powers to loot and plunder the premises of electricity thieves and impose fines equivalent to five years consumption...

Nov7-2023--The PPP's general animosity against the PMLn has started to become apparent..PMLn says it should stop crying and face it in the polls...on the one hand bilawal seeks a level playing field and on the other says he will win in all provinces and the center...a contradiction....many have suggested that the army favors bilawal however nawaz sharif seems to have some control...too

Nov7-2023--Army colonel killed in fierce gun battle in Tirah with three terrorists.

Nov7-2023--The PM office does not interfere in intelligence agency working...although supposedly political feedback has been noticed at times...the PM office said there were laws that allowed the intelligence agencies to monitor civilians such as Investigation for fair trial 2013, telegraph act 1885 and the electronic crimes act 2016..

Nov7-2023--Sania Nishtar moves 'Pakistan Future Council Bill 2023' bill for economic advice which was defeated 25-16 in the senate...PMLn has been a trumpeting a similar logic in which economic policy remains constant.

Nov7-2023--government seeks agreements with NCA about the transfer of funds by Bahria Inc...from shahzad akber who is in exile...the government wanted know about other huge amounts transmitted by the bahria family and companies...

Nov5-2023--nine terrorists killed in cleanup of attack on mianwali airbase with some damage to junk aircraft...attack claimed by a TTP affiliated outfit  TJP...

Nov4-2023--In a gawader ambush militants attack two security vehicles killing 14 soldiers...almost in a wave of terrorist incidents at least 17 soldiers were killed in baluchistan and kp...incidents included a remote controlled bomb explosion in di khan, gawader militant assault, a security operation in lakki marwat and remote blasts in di khan that left five dead...

Nov3-2023--ECp announces a Feb8 election date after consultations with SC and president...major political parties call for a unclear level playing field...free and fair elections...elections can be open , transparent but everyone has to depend on the votes they get...there can technically be no fairness in that...Bilawal Bhutto tries to cozyup to the PTI as their punjab members look at a possibility of a  coalition with the leaderless pTI...specifically the punjab is going be a tough place to contest for the PPP ...IPP holds its  second  meeting in hafizabad  after jahanian and suggests a 50000 wage, subsidies on electricity, and reduction in  petrol prices...this technically the second public electoral gathering after nawaz sharifs jalsa in lahore...most parties have problems with cases in courts and nobody really knows who controls the processes ie the courts, police or caretakers...or the army aka establishment..what the PPP is asking for is unclear as they have less problems  than others...but they probably will have more problems getting votes in Punjab which is not a controllable phenomenon...


 Nov3-2023--Pakistan go into their crunch match against New Zealand who have lost their last three matches and have two top bowlers matt henry and lockie ferguson injured apart from injuries to key players kane williamson, Mark chapman and james neesham..they have called up Kylie Jameson also returning from injury...Pakistan had a tough time playing kylie jameson the last time they played him...not much should be read into pakistans victory over bangladesh who have lost six of their last seven matches...both new zealand and Pakistan have a poor recent record in india...but new zealand have consistent top three batsmen...while Pakistan need to win their last two matches New Zealand , Australia and afghanistan need to win one to stay ahead of them...afghanistan have won four of their last five matches but have to play top teams australia and south africa...pakistan might play four seamers and go with iftikhar ahmed to open with his off spin...pakistani pacemen have taken most of the wickets upto now...however they could post a good total and make New Zealand chase...lately they have made a hash of that...the new zealand batting lineup is top heavy and they can only get going if they play aggressively...their middle order is injured and they might have to depend on spinners to make up the team...

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
