Jun18-2009--In what many say is a growing realization of increasing indian orchestrated terrorism in pakistan...zardari many say was stunned/stumped by manmohan refusing to meet him any further many say.. manmohan singhs stubbornness in attitude thinking that pakistan is lamely going to focus on providing security to the indians..terrorism in india is india's own concern and it has to solve many regional independence issues to get out of it...pakistan has shut down whole organisations to satisfy teh indians but their whining continues because pakistan is not tough and harsh in negotiations with them...india has allowed political groups to kill sikhs, kashmiris, and christians without even denting teh power of those hindu groups...india many say will have to start reciprocating on kashmir...there is no other way...otherwise another group/groups will start to form in teh years to come...manmohan seems to have lost in the indian power struggle and is now no more than a chaprassi/courier for the hindu nationalist power groups...?many suggest that teh increasing terrorism in punjab is indian orchestrated...mainly directed from indian punjab and indians stationed in afghanistan

Jun18-2009--Karachi was plunged into darkness by storms that tripped the jamshoro-hubco and jamshoro-dadu power tramsmission lines tripping all power generation units...in such a situation restarting the generating units and stablizing an unsteady power load is always a problem unless a clear process to restart the system is planned and practiced...Pepco says that it was supplying upto 800 MW to KESC which if it was thru one power transmission line becomes a liability in such a situation...many say karachi's power system should be integrated into that of teh rest of teh country...

Jun18-2009--transparency international says musharaf local governments corrupt even though they were one of the few government deptts actually involved in people related real work...no corruption charges have yet been proven by the new governments......the new governments have brought local government work to a halt...many say transparency international statements politically twisted in nature...most corruption in pakistan is centered around fraudulent peopel who frighten people into payments...while customs now donot harass flying passengers they still rip off on cargo shipments looking for illegal drugs forcing gratification...power sector visibly uncorrupt...most corruption is centered around contractual work where contractors overcharge to make payments to officials...petty corruption has decreased but wholesale corruption by politicians in which entire budgets are grafted away...that happens in all government deptts...

Jun18-2009--The government is standing onits head says finance secretary salman siddik...though IMF said that it had made no such conditions he says we will still raise power prices by 17% irrespective of anything...government raised power prices heavily last year and it only contributed to unnecessary inflation raising production prices and other prices...
