2024 Elections

2024 Elections
election results in 2024..PTI in 2018 just a pukhtun based party literally surged in Punjab and karachi to emerge as the largest party with 114 seats in the national assembly...Though imran did not win a majority in 2018 even he failed in 2024 because of more cooperation between the PMLn and PPP and the collapse of the majlis amal and the breakup of imrans coalition whom he derogatorily alleged were trying to blackmail him alongwith losing the backing of the army and the resurgence of the mqm-P and JUIf...there is a large difference in the 2018 upright imran the cricket captain and the dubius looter/crazy politician imran in 2024 and the running after money, embezzler of party funds/funds from dubious contractors..looting state gifts and using a foreign office cipher for propaganda the world over..his mean and nasty influencers also did not help his cause...the PTI used to lap up everything the PTI influencers put out...

The Daily Pakistan Politics(aka Political Punch/Pakistan Punch) Aug16-Aug31, 2025

Aug30-2025--This is with reference to frequent appeals in courts from various family, lawyers and politicians to unnecessarily meet a jailed convict Imran...as for family they can freely meet once a week...as can lawyers needing advice on cases...however meetings of the KP CM is considered unnecessary as they are fully authorized to legally decide matters in Kp...on party matters there is a elected chairman and a secretary apart from a council which can decide matters...there is usually a leader of the opposition who can decide matters in assemblies...it is therefore unnecessary and frivolous for everyone wanting to meet Imran especially those who donot need to ...Imran has no problems in jail barring not getting a newspaper or electricity being turned off. He should be able to tolerate such frivolous ordinary hardships like other prisoners...in Rawalpindi the frequency of electricity being turned off is considered usual and that happens once or twice a day and sometimes even for half a day...

Aug30-2025--two security men killed in Tirah and Landi Kotal attacks while two terrorists killed in lakki marwat...two GB scouts killed in attack at diamer check post

Aug30-2025--Chenab, Ravi, Sutlej overflow simultaneously and massive flood waters cause the blowing up of dykes to alleviate threats to major population areas like Jhang and Multan...half a million people evacuated... worst Sutlej flooding since 1955which was compounded by the bursting of an indian dam...the Ravi flooded housing societies in Babu Sabu area...Sialkot airport closed due to flooding...shakargarh road overflowing...Kartarpur water drained

Aug29-2025--another rainy spell the 9th in this season to start today...flooding rivers escalate woes...Punjab says this the worst flood in decades and it is reeling from the effects on livestock, people and infrastructures...around 1400 villages inundated. Chenab expected tobe at dangerous level at head Trimmu...Inaugural NFC session put off. 17 lost their lives... housing societies flooded by Ravi

Aug28-2025--PTI to continue negative tactics and now they want to be relieved from parliamentary panels including PAC...PTi has a yes, no attitude on byelections based on the mentally disturbed attitudes prevalent in Imran's chaotic mind...the chaos process now has Imran in a somersault blaming army chief Asim Muneer for his incarceration and seeking an apology...opponents say absolutely not...!...Imran has a long history of troublemaking, and he started the Imran is our redline philosophy in the dharna days when the army ordered him out of islamabad...he is also involved in starting the war on Ukraine and trying to blame the USA for the PMLn bid to mount a no trust against his faltering regime...during the dharna he attacked the parliament uprooting its gate and necessitating calling in the army. Than he also wanted to hang one person in the national assembly who may have been Nawaz Sharif, he attacked  the prime ministers house and tried to occupy the PTV hq's...later he directed his party to physically attack dissidents and even attacked the Sindh house uprooting the gate.....than he brought in kp workers to fight police  in Lahore who wanted to deliver a warrant at his house in Lahore resulting in riots and vehicle burnings...than he ran away to hide in Kp like car thief's used to-do to avoid arrest...he then warned that his workers would attack if he was arrested...the May 9 attacks resulted in riots all over the country and they are said to have resulted from Imran's plans...most of the attacks were against army targets. The army moved in on the third day of riots and the PTI than faded from the streets...Things have been relatively calmer after his incarceration...even though there were two invasions by KP lashkars on Lahore and islamabad by PTI's Kp govt...this proves that he is himself the creator of all the chaos and his incarceration...there have been three army chiefs during this process...even in jail he is a mess of complaints and troublemaking...trying to prove that the jail admin is creating problems...at the behest of the army chief...!

Aug28-2025--large swathes of Punjab inundated by rainfall and river overflows...15 dead in Punjab floods, five in Sialkot, four in gujerat three in Narowal, two in Hafiz Abad and one in Gujranwala...two soldiers die...hundreds of villages affected across Punjab, Ravi and Sutlej areas...Kartarpur inundated and 409 mm rain in Sialkot creates massive urban flood conditions ...The three rivers are flooding due to heavy rainfall and massive releases by india...army to assist in eight districts...Qadirpur headworks on Chenab was in flood condition and said tobe in danger as water passing was beyond its capacity...many think that india planned the release of waters to create chaos in the already precarious flooding situation



Aug25-2025--Punjab rushes evacuations as rivers Ravi, Sutlej and Chenab overflow in possible flood mode... a key failure seems tobe the publics behavioral response as they donot take precautions to avoid at least loss of life...In karachi despite warnings of impending rainfall hundreds of cars and motorcycles were stranded as rainfall flooded main roads...other key failures is construction near riverbeds and having no safety equipment...in fact the first deaths were due to a torrent on a swat river where tourists from Sialkot enjoying at the riverside were left stranded in the flooding and drowned...many talk about planting trees...these things take ten to  fifteen years for trees to plant and grow and there too many areas... government tree plantation shifted towards cities where they are of no effect in landsliding, hill torrents or cloud burst ...tree plantation in targeted areas could be helpful in kp...but trees are not a panacea...as they would create another problem of wild fires...glofs a more recent problem and caused many think with extreme heat which vaporizes huge ice structures that are called glaciers...many people know of glaciers who have been to Naran and walk or drive over a glacier to get to the Saiful Malook lake...

Aug25-2025--PTI speaker in KP attempts to administer Oath a second time to newly elected members who refuse and walk out...

Aug25-2025--five security men killed in clashes in KP

Aug25-2025--PTI now facing the consequences may9 mayhem...another 75 sentenced to upto ten years in prison for and confiscation of properties for attacking the interior minister's house...in Faisalabad

Aug25-2025--Imran failing mentally as he issues several orders on each issue...there are several orders on participation in by elections...firstly not to participate to avoid defeats. Then asking party to form opinion...who want to participate as SIC... he also has two opinions on appointing new party leaders in assemblies. a strong leader usually has one opinion which he projects...his party leaders also mentally troubled and usually resign at the first signs of personal opposition...!

Aug22-2025--south Punjab facing the wrath of overflowing Indus and Chenab rivers...thousands displaced as homes, crops and farmland face destruction. KP death toll mounts to 393...in some areas of KP food distribution required as 60% populace face loss of livelihoods...further rains predicted...

Aug22-2025--some areas get mobile internet on BC interference

Aug22-2025--11 injured in south waziristan clashes. Dozens of militants killed in a blast at a remote mosque allegedly. Bajaur operation continues

Aug22-2025--In a surprise reversal the ISPR chief has denied the Dawn News that the army chief has demanded a sincere apology for political reconciliation...maybe he wanted the indians to apologize sincerely...maybe the somersault by the CJP has caused this denial...however ISPR says that may9 is not only the militaries case but the nations and the perpetrators must be held accountable...apparently the field marshal made no political statement in Brussels or said anything about the PTi.. The PTi however says that now only one case of the dubious anti state Bani is left...bail does not mean that the cases are being ended. The higher courts have to adjudicate on the sentences given by the lower courts.

Aug22-2025--The CJP in a disputed and dubious decision allows prearrest bails to the may9 culprit Imran...the decision based on the unknown principle of consistency...all previous organizers of such riots or revolts against the state  mainly military infrastructure were shot dead...i refer to heads of the Taliban and PPP's al Zulfikar and Murtaza Bhutto...no bail is given even to a supposedly terrorist coordinator woman leader in Baluchistan...!allegations of criminal conspiracy require scrutiny say the CJP...The frivolous or alleged mistreatment of Imran and Bushra in jail disregarded...apparently mistreatment is only allowing four books and disallowing newspapers and tv...pathetic...better treatment only given to Nawaz Sharif who was a a-class prisoner...he was allowed an air conditioner and meals from home...no information on how asif zardari was treated in jail...! Benazir and her kids used to go and meet him without problems...! Imran apparently approved/organized the riots at party level, and he had enough time after arrest to give the go ahead...there is also a newspaper statement in which he said that his workers would run riot...while local leaders ran the riots shah Mahmood Qureshi the supposed coordinator...

Aug21-2025--Achakzai and Swati tobe opposition leaders in NA and senate...ECP has disqualified Omar Ayub and Shibli Faraz...after being sentenced in various cases...

Aug20-2025--CDA emerging as major corrupt organization...100 CDA official grilled for corruption over 10 years...says Mohsen Naqvi...!

Aug20-2025--finally the rains came to karachi and karachi was literally flooded for a day with cars stranded and motorcycles wading round...the major disasters seemed tobe flooded underpasses however deaths still mounted to around ten...in various isolated incidents...the mayor said they could only handle 40mm of rain while it flash rained about 150mm...despite only a day of problems the mqm was crying the loudest as usual...saying the mayor had not cleaned the gutters and nullahs...karachi should follow Rawalpindi who make it a point to clean the Leh nullah …before the monsoons...

Aug20-2025--KP's woes were not over as a flash rain floods poured down from the tarbela moutains.24 dead...problems in gadoon amazai, Swabi, Topi… floods apparently also hit south waziristan, tank and Abbottabad (bridge destroyed) ...KP not organized for such widespread disasters and outside help is badly needed by them...landslides and washing away of bridges/roads major problems...90 roads destroyed of which nine repaired by paramilitary which are deployed all over the place...excavators being hired from wherever available...

Aug19-2025--more lives lost in KP floods...many go missing, in torrential downpours, landslides, flash floods...17 dead in Swabi and two in Nowshera...rains play havoc in Dalori and gadoon amazai...rainwater from india inundates Ravi and various villages...five more dead in AJK...flash floods in Kalar Kahar inundate Jhelum district town of Lilah sharif  and kundwal village...road swept away......

Aug 18-2025--the Pakistani team for the next two tournaments in UAE has only difficult matches with India and Afghanistan...However, Hesson has not addressed key weaknesses like Salman agha's lack of performance and mohd Haris - thinks he is a joker with lack of performance and dropped catches behind the stumps...Rizwan still better than joker Haris even if Baber Azam is dubious...They are now saying that the two are no longer in contention foe even. Keeping a former failing captain Shan Maqsood in category D is even more shocking...Hesson is depending on the same old team plus Sahibzada Farhan and Salman mirza...he has not ironed out Saim's flaws...mohd Haris, Salman agha, Hussein Talat and Khushdil are dubious selections when you have three spinners who have recently done well...he has also added two fast bowlers Salman mirza and mohd Wasim as the three main frontliners are aging and cannot be relied upon... making a total of six fast bowlers...Hesson should realize that security is not in numbers but in brilliance and reliability...Hesson should also teach Salman agha to project a good body image...rather than be known as dilloo dalloo agha! if good and bad performance are the same than why drop Naseem shah or even Baber Azam...at least Naseem shah can vary and swing. He can move the ball...nobody has faced the wrath of selectors like Rizwan and Baber Azam whose t20 record is one of the best...Rizwan probably axed because of his partnership with Baber Azam

Aug17-2025--Has God given the Field marshal authority to protect this country (read that as government...!) Apparently, that is what he thinks and that he says is enough for him...in a column in Dawn it is projected that he said that in Brussels... that there will be no change in this government as it was being suggested that one of his proteges move out of the way for him tobe president plus possibly another military puppet Bilawal as prime minister...! he apparently has discussed the issue of why with the two in question...! he again said that political reconciliation is possible if there is a sincere apology (read that as him being a simpleton and lacking understanding of the terrorist stubborn nature of some politician.) He also warned Kabul of pushing the Taliban into Pakistan...here i would like to state what is rumored in Pakistan in another context...it is said that Imran on a tour to Russia went dancing (shown on TV) upto Putin and told him that he could invade Ukraine...! the same day Russia invaded Ukraine...! This is with reference to the complicated negotiations between Putin and Trump...in exchange for some region in Donetsk they want Zelensky to sign onto a freeze in the Ukraine war...apparently Zelensky will want security guarantees... obviously not from Russia...! his earlier deal for Crimea provided for German guarantees in 2014...it might be difficult for Zelensky to go along with the tones coming out of the Trump-Putin meeting...Trump cannot be trusted regarding to Putin as he seems tobe frightened of both Russia and Israel

Aug17-2025--the death and devastation has been severe in Buner, Swat and Shangla apart from AJk and northern areas...whole families have been wiped out and some areas see a lot of infrastructure like houses and roads destroyed...In swat the grid station is flooded, and electricity is out for two days apart from gas in some areas... blaming climate change and blaming the populace for such events is just a mere joke as most people were living their lives...the increase in rain intensity and targeting specific areas is new...otherwise a class eight geography book from the 1960's has this period from mid-June to mid-august or early September  listed as the monsoon season...it is probably necessary to tell or order people not to venture out in rains and go to hill stations like Murree and Gilgit/Skardu and be scared and worried of what the rains will do...or live in dangerous areas...a people whose children regularly run around outside enjoying the rains...after the harsh summer...not much can be done apart from improving disaster services in specific areas and be wary...Gandapur says he wants weather radars...he has enough provincial wealth to install radars himself and should not depend on the federal government or the UN. Weather radars are also available on the internet. There is no way to tell God that enough is enough...please give us controllable rains and floods...and tell rich people that they don't have to drive around just because they have cars and destroy the environment...people should remain indoors in the rain and possible floods although that is not much protection when boulders rain down on you. The government should probably start warnings that people who are possibly going tobe  affected move out of such areas...holidays and rainy days and money are just meant to be enjoyed is the norm...It also demonstrates the urban/riverine flooding in Punjab and the village nature of flooding of KP/GB/AJK...There are mass funerals/burials in Buner...In AJK people are harvesting floating logs from the Nauseri dam after flooding...it seems that NDMA alone can't handle things, and the army is required to-do things in such specific area disasters...

houses buried in the rocks

it was just a stream. But the flood came down with force and boulders...

mass burials...

a road wiped out after the flash flood in Mingora...

Aug16-2025--internet services suspended in Baluchistan till 31st... transport services also suspended...?

Aug16-2025--religious groups start rebuilding mosque that the interior ministry demolished because its corners cut into the islamabad portion of Murree Road...government should take back the Rs40 million seminary built in exchange...? government has agreed to rebuild the mosque...there used tobe two other mosques also in the area that have disappeared...!


Aug16-2025--300 booked, 25 arrested for attacking two Ahmadi places of worship in Faisalabad...

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...!
