Dr.Uzma says she was than driven to Pims which was in total darkness...she met Imran in the presence of some doctors one of which Dr. Arif was known to her...not much of a medical examination according to her... but Imran protested at not being allowed to meet his sisters and blocking of newspapers and television...two of his sisters met him after the SC judgement and he says that he was allowed newspapers and television for two days...he is apparently allowed to meet his wife once a week
Aug21-2026--Government takes Imran to Pims for a checkup in the presence of Al Shifa doctors and doctor Uzma...government was planning to take him to al Shifa but says the PTI created a situation not reported...apparently some pukhtun youth came out of a side road airing Pushto nasty slogans about mothers and sisters...He was declared fit and returned to Adiala in the early morning...a situation was created when a doctor checking Imran on Aug1 diagnosed psychological stress problems and ordered a angiography and increased BP medications and urged more family meetings...Aleema the troublemaker was sidelined and the family seemed tobe cooperating...Government said they are even ready to send Imran abroad if necessary...as government coalition totters PTi being courted by both sides...PTI seemed dubious about Bilawal attitude change...Sohail Afridi continued to issue threats

Aug20-226--Trump who is wary of war by now says he will increase sanctions on all countries that help Iran...Pakistan, China and Russia biggest Iran helpers apart from Houthis and Iraq...Trump likes verbal war which is easier...The idiotic Iranis still love warmongering and proxy fights...Trump threatens with unimaginable increase in sanctions on Iran...Pakistan has apparently $4billion in informal trade in things like rice, livestock, medicines, oil and wheat in exchange for useless Iranian consumer goods such as soggy dates, vegetables, drinks and fruit...stores in karachi full of Iranian goods...Pakistan also delivering Iranian import cargos/containers dropped at Karachi by land routes...Scott Besant says that the toughest sanctions yet applied will reduce the need for military strikes...main countries that trade with Iran are Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkey, China, UAE, Pakistan, Iraq, Oman, Russia and India

Nawaz Sharif had been given A-class facilities while Imran got B-class facilities...they say there are no A-class facilities at Adiala but A-class prisoners can get a airconditioner and food delivered...Imran gets outside food one day a week something like pizzas or a burger...he also gets a personal cook who cooks his personal meals on his orders...Benazir Bhutto another ex premier developed an ear infection in jail and worked out an agreement with martial law authorities and was allowed to go abroad for treatment...Imran however had refused tobe released and go abroad...generally i have only seen jail tandoori roti's which look excellent...Mohsin Naqvi otherwise a quick completer of projects has delayed the completion of Islamabad jail like tenth and 11th avenues just to keep Imran out of his hair

Aug19-2026--The SC decision even if reviewed shows perhaps political change of some sort...On the ground PPP almost out of the coalition and PMLn must now rule alone...PPP should ask president and governors to resign...PTI probably more willing to change provincial borders.. If elections are held tomorrow PPP will be wiped out in Punjab...a presidential election could have a person emerge acceptable to most groups...PPP now opposing passage of bills in the national assembly so the Speaker should ask them to sit on opposition benches
Aug19-2026--UAE stops all commercial and financial transactions and trade with Iran after Iran fired ballistic missiles at them...Iran threatens to fire ballistic missiles at US fleet...US should be wary as Iran supposed to have 2000 km missiles...distance to US is 7000-8000 km...Trump declares Hormuz tobe newest state...Iran's missiles have not changed much since 2009...might be improved four drone types and to cruise missiles and at least three underground missile facilities...Iran's missiles technically failed against Israel...some not exploding and others fizzing out...most of the missile test launches were carried out under Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's time...the upper picture is from 2009 and the lower one from 2025
Aug19-2026--In a decision that overrides rules three dubious(based on rumours) SC judges allowed VIP treatment to Imran of the PTi at the expensive and posh Al Shifa hospital in Islamabad ..while the decision might be welcomed by other prisoners more ill than Imran it will cost upto 3 lakhs a day which will probably come out of millionaire Aleema's pockets...Rumours swirling that interim decision made earlier and they were just awaiting payments...the crookish Saqib Nisar also was around they say...Rules provide a medical board recommendation for hospitalization at a government facility...Al Shifa which was quite popular among middle class people had started out charging Rs400 for consultation but now they charge heavily even in emergencies...doctors had diagnosed psychological problems, sleeplessness and low to medium hypertension when checked on Aug10...at least hypertension is a common ailment allover Pakistan...Imran has a history of schizophrenia and probably similar problems before coming to jail...supposedly he had a stent installed after falling at an election rally...he has generally swollen eyes a general indication of heart and kidney problems...his recent eye problems have abated doctors say...most of the pictures shown of him looking ill have no time or date...At 74/75 he is no spring chicken...Dr. Uzma... Imran sister met him for 45 minutes but no such relief for bechari Bushra
Aug18-2026-- a healthy diet for children includes milk, possibly juices and some solids...Pictures shown by Dawn for malnourished children also suggest a lack of some vitamins primarily A and D and stomach issues...the Sindh government and wherever such issues arise should initiate medical checks and at least provide vitamin drops, liter of milk a day and some foods and see to it that they live in a healthy environment (get regular baths) where ordinary foods like daals, rice, banana and carrots are available
Aug17-2026--Reuters says that Iranians worried about further sanctions causing further economic distress and that jobs are scarce...Iran also has a Citibank called Bank e Shehr(American influence)…the Iran war is now at best a propaganda war and the MOU has expired...ie apart from Shiite attacks on Saudia and South Yemen and Iran attacks on tankers of its enemies...Trump praises the defensive Islamic NATO as a initial bulwark against Iranian extremism(Shiite warmongers)(or proxism)..many Pakistani leaders work as Iranian proxies e.g. the whole family of senate chairman Yusuf Gilani...even the CDF and Mohsen Naqvi are accused of being proxies...some retired military men say Pakistan has had military contacts with Iran over decades and some say Pakistan even supplied them P/P2 centrifuges though Iranians improved them and call them P6's...
Aug17-2026--This is classic divide and rule stuff...Eventually there will be no Punjab to hate and big politicos/political parties wont have influence everywhere...the administrative units shosha is easy but things might get worse after..in Punjab relatively peaceful and prosperous...Saraikistan, Potohar and central provinces are easy or even add bahawalpur which was a promise...however afterwards what happens as factions and interests fight each other...in KP peaceful Hazara and tribal provinces are necessary...Hazara could be joined to potohar given similarities between Hindko and Punjabi etc...anyway something has tobe done about Qabailistan...In Baluchistan north(or south) Pakhtunwa and probably coastal Makran and Baluchi provinces...Sindh is a problem as Urdu province raises hackles and probably north and south Sindh...Sindh cant live without karachi which loots the entire country...In Rawalpindi they say that every day billions are transferred to karachi...So initially a constitutional amendment could do that but later provincial wars and ethnic/political fight outs for control are inevitable...It would be better for such units tobe created under Province control...all divisions could be elevated to semi provinces...The army already fighting in two provinces ..would it be needed in more provinces...!one must realize that linguistics is not the only problem...most Pakistanis understand Urdu and even English...doing is one thing...twisting PTI and PPP arms... but sustaining is quite another...or arm the army with missile drones and let them use them to control terrorism...The president could approve direct missile attacks as Obama used to do in Dalbandin drone attacks...
a permanent mechanism for the national assembly to look into specific provincial problems and if necessary shifting such provinces to federal control temporarily or again dividing them into further provinces could act as a barrier to trouble and troublemakers...or just the deterrent amendment to trouble as the 28th amendment...This amendment could work in parallel to the present arrangement when a province itself wants to divide and just needs national assembly approval...the deterrent mechanism could just as an example need a simple national assembly majority...the amendment could also change the present arrangement of 2/3 majority to a simple majority
a possible solution could be to elevate minister for provincial coordination to a Provincial Czar who could help ease provincial problems between ethnic groups and relieve them of financial distress...!
Another suggestion that initially just move Fata, Gawader and Karachi to federal control...and Sindh could be left twiddling its thumbs...or Sindh still gets all NFC funds...!
This is what they want to do to our dear Pakistan...possible new maps...These maps are off the internet not government maps
