- Jul10-2019--The mna's are just as crazy as the government...The PAC now wants passports and ID cards tobe verified by the ISI and MI(meaning handover of Nadra to the GHQ)...Pakistan is already a military monitored and run state and increasing the difficulties of people in matters of passports and ID cards is almost total harassment(ie apart from benami's and biometric verification)...!Is'nt the ministry of interior enough who also seem tobe under the thumb of the ANF
- Jul9-2019--the first PTI finance minister did not understand the basic mechanics of inflation and cost of living...now a private sector FBR chief says increasing revenues will not raise the cost of living and it is not like raising taxes...how raising revenues by around 50-55% will not effect the cost of living and inflation is difficult to understand...maybe they studied economics in the primeministers university in the benami property of Banigala which actually belongs to some woman called Jemima...!The primeminster a haywire crazy akin to Donald Trump now wants to stay in his chacha da puter ambassador to the USA's residence on his personal visit to the USA...sure seems tobe frightened of being picked up the USA secret service or monitored bathrooms...the government has only two avenues of taxes sales tax and the electricity bill...after increasing the electricity tariff by around Rs.10 per unit they now want to further raise electricity prices...even than various surcharges and fuel price adjustment continues suggesting the lack of any logic behind increasing electricity process...
- Jul8-2019--the judge at the center of a video scandal suggesting that he was forced to give a judgement against Nawaz Sharif by behind the scenes forces(ISI +Army +Imran Khan + hawai forces) says that it was concocted from various conversations even though he is a friend with Nasir Butt who made the video...he also says that Nawaz representatives also tried to bribe/threaten him several times during the trial...why he did not inform the authorities of that is unknown...he says despite threats from both sides he gave an honest verdict with God as his witness...it is also apparent that the PTI regime is censoring television channels...Maryam says that the judge must have been forced to issue this statement too...!
- Jul7-2019--In a sensational claim the PMLn suggested that Maryam Nawaz was now the party leader as she played a video purportedly made of an accountability court judge who stated that he had been forced to give a judgement in the Azizia reference
- Jul7-2019--Sheikh Rashid says that the PTI's committment to democracy is dubious and that a 37 member forward block is ready in the Punjab assembly...he says that PTI plans more arrests of PMLn leaders like Rana Sanaullah and they are looking for some seven more members of the PMLn to make an effective forward block...however they have not been able to entice any members in the national assembly...PTI developing a Trump complex many say...It seems that the PTI is hellbent to make the seraiki sooba despite no public support...people are praying that the PTI loses it's support in northern and western punjab after the formation of the narrow vision seraiki sooba
- Jul7-2019--many suggest that Rana Sanaullah was in the process of smuggling cocaine to Columbia which itself is a cocaine producer and smuggling center
- Jul5-2019--The PTI intentions in the benami crackdown might not be the best and there seems tobe dubious ulterior motives...Benami properties can't just be confiscated as they are someones properties...they can only be confiscated if there is proof of corruption, political or criminal wrong doing...the 10% offer to whistle blowers seems to show that the PTI is misguided and wants to go after properties themselves...there have been reports of PTI politicians being deeply involved in properties and even Imran Khan apparently used to go around looking for choice properties...some PTI politicians complain that they are not allowed to buy properties...!
- Jul5-2019--The ANF is either being funny or have just arrested Rana Sanaullah for political reasons...they seem tobe worried about other participants in the heroin smuggling chain...it seems pathetic that they seem to have allowed heroin to be smuggled just because there were females around...Rana could be possibly be an undercover agent...there are not usually too many in the chain of heroin smuggling...the supplier and the courier or mule are usually the main participants...with heroin usually manufactured in Fata a supply chain apparently has hoodwinked the ANF or it could be just a sting operation...obviously the ANF wants to protect part of the chain otherwise they should be picking up other participants if they have all the information...seems a hoodwinking attempt by the army and Imran Khan...!the value of the heroin is meaningless and just picking up the courier and the heroin is of no use...the suppliers will find another mule...to disrupt heroin supply the chain has tobe disrupted significantly and the factory targeted...!
- Jul5-2019--while critisizing previous government for taking massive loans the PTI is now saying that they are going after $60 billion in loans over the next few years...!!!
- Jul4-2019--The PMLq an offshoot of the PMLn says it is not threatened by Imran Khans attempts to form a forward bloc in the Punjab assembly...they say it has the hallmarks of the South Punjab sooba mohaz
- Jul4-2019--hitmen kill two inside the lahore airport
- Jul4-2019--The latest in a long line of amnesties has ended with government saying 110000 benefited from generally small cities of Punjab...the government has immediately started targeting possible benamis in various cities...the targeting generally focused on PMLn politicians...no information on whether Jehangir Tareen got his english property legalized...since he is a politician he will surely have to face legal charges...some state that he has already transferred his sugar mills to his son..!
- Jul4-2019--in a strange announcement five army soldiers apparently have been the target of IEDs in several places near the Chamb LOC...these blasts took place within 500-600 meters of the LOC and have been blamed on the indians...the indians are not known to have IED experience and most IED blasts took place in the KP and Baluchistan
- Jul4-2019--Imran Khan has at times shared the platform with Hafiz Saeed of the JUD...however things have changed and he has initiated cases against the JUD leader and and his twelve accomplices in terror and illegal collection of funds in five punjab cities...and not in any other province...!
- Jul4-2019--Imran Khan it seems is hardly able to grasp the similarity of his actions with those of the PMLn...he says he was targeted as a victim ie they victimised him...when his banigala is technically still owned by Jemima Khan...and he apparently took 200 million in loans from Jemima(scion of a jewish billionaire) and had an off shore company tooo...! and he is still facing an illegal helicopter use case..poor soul...that obviously has damaged his thinking and all of his policies are to target the opposition in whatever way he can..he in that process he is ruining peoples lives too...
- Jul4-2019--apparently the army chief was dancing up and down with joy at having nabbed Rana Sanaullh thru two military run organizations ie the ANF and PC...apparently he was carrying a large package of heroin supposedly to be smuggled into india on the orders of an indian cricketer...at least 25 vehicles were used to nab one individual...the heroin was not shown and everybody can draw their own conclusions...the government said that they had nothing todo with Rana's arrest...!he is the punjab PMLn's president...!Imran had said that he would drag Rana by his moustaches to jail
- Ju4-2019--The army chief turned the latest Corp commanders meeting into a political gathering when he told bemused Corp commanders that the government that he was a key supporter had the best governments economic policy and all the problems were former government follies...he forgot to tell them that inflation would be high and cost of living would degrade peoples lives...the government even refused to negotiate IMF conditions and told them that they would do what they wanted even before the loan was approved...that has led to the dollar going sky high..he also forgot to tell them that the government had already taken $17-20 billion in loans which comes to Rs2700-3100 billion...he also forgot to tell them that the previous government was in the same position and they took an IMF loan in 2015...similarly the governments overshoot of revenues by Rs2 trillion can only be funded by foreign loans...!The government is apparently planning to take more loans..Bajwa seems tobe a government economic expert who looks at things from only their perspective and seemingly has a low level of individual intellect in economics...you might say he is like an IMF expert unaware of consequences and similarity with previous governments..how the IMF thinks that cost/quality of living will improve is hard to even explain...!some say his speeches are written by a government politcician...!
- Jul1-2019--The government has changed the last day for illegal or hidden assets to 3 Jul...according to the unelected Hafeez Sheikh around 85000 asset declarations have been filed...whether there are any substantial ones it hardly matters as assets are not directly taxable unless bought or sold...!and they generally have no bearing on the economy...it is just the difference between wearing a suit or a kameez shalwar...the kameez shalwar wala will definitely be a non filer...with so few declarations of which most will not be new filers the government hue and cry about people not paying taxes seems pathetic and uncalled for...If Imran Khan had been living on a poor rawalpindi street he might have been able to understand the difference...for ordinary people pakistan will never be developed...Pakistan whatever it does will never be developed because its governments are made up of half educated heathens...not because its people dont pay taxes..such shoutouts from the government started in 1951...when the revenues were a few million...now the revenues are 5.5 trillion and still the government is saying the same thing...governments actual spending is still almost 2-3 trillion more than its revenues...that is where the crux of the problem lies...for all the nepra's, nadra's, ogra's unless the government reforms it's attitude pakistan cannot become developed...ever...
- Jul1-2019--The PTI seems tobe still in katchi jamaat ie a school on mats where the takhti rules...it is still trying to break away PMLn mpa's...apparently they donot know how to even count...various PTI members had various counts like 2, 9, 15 PML mpa's who secretly met the prime minister...apparently to approve the chief minister who technically is not very popular...only two said they had met the primeminister to get approved schemes that Buzdar apparently had refused...
- Jul1-2019--things making the rounds are the names of the biggest money launderers...the consensus is on jehangir tareen, chaudhry shujaat who once used to rival nawaz sharif and somebody called general Kiyani probably a former army chief...the government seems to wash its hand off the asset declarations forming a three member beaurocrat committee to handle those who do not...!...tattle about their assets
news,views, issues, concerns and a blog...most of the information, cartoons and pictures are picked from the countries press and are not individual comment in their entirety... contains comments and daily news headlines with a twist and some photographs...all related to pakistans current politics,government policies and the grapevine
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 dubious 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...

How it all started...coups and politics and islam and democracy...
how bhuttos got into politics in 1958...
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...
