The Daily PakistanPolitics Nov 15-30, 2019

• Nov30-2019--government plans to divide the state gas orgnisations into seperate supply and transmission networks...the model is the electricity system which is largely considered a failure...the only objective of the government is to increase costs and tariffs and confuse popular opposition...
  
• Nov30-2019--a bomb explodes in a stationary rickshaw newar lahores chauburji(four minarets) chowk...claimed by a taleban offshoot...
  
• Nov30-2019--Imran Khan given his supposed intellect needlessly continues to bash the opposition even when there views are not even expressed...his attitude of confrontation/bashing and calling the opposition his enemies and mafias shows his lack of understanding and probably paucity of brain matter..
  
• Nov30-2019--students demonstrate for the formation of student unions...usually the students bodies are overrun by religious groups and ethnic organizations and so called progressives and leftists or usually overwhelmed with no centrist options
  
• Nov30-2019--The year 2019 is coming to sad end...our saddest conclusion is that Imran Khan is a cruel, sadistic and insensitive person...This conclusion has come out of inordinate price hikes created by the Imrankhaneconomics...inflation has occurred across the board from vegetables, medicines, rotis, cars...almost everything has almost doubled in price starting with the dollar...and our hero Imran Khan can only think of subsidizing the fauj and industrialists when ordinary people can now not afford more than one bulb in their rural homes...It also comes about when we see the ruins of the islamabad metro...apparently the only thing he wants are the completion of a few unnecessary road projects...people hope for a change in six months when hopefully a more aware and people loving army chief will come to power...
  
• Nov29-2019--Aleem khan a brother in law of Imran Khan and a PTI leader and two CDA chairman may end up facing a NAB investigation for usurpation of CDA acquired land...!
  
• Nov29-2019--Iraqi military guns down another 28 protestors
  
• Nov29-2019--PMLn's Rana Tanveer new head of the PAC
  
• Nov29-2019--mehngai ki zimaadaar PTI he...they have again increased the rates of electricity for domestic consumers...by 26 paisas when only 15 paisa was approved by Nepra...APtma is however protesting that they are not getting electricity at Rs11.27...the domestic consumers have no such avenues to protest even...one would suggest again that a single rate of electricity be introduced for the rich (military,bahria, aptma plus agriculture) and the downtrodden domestic/commercial consumers...
  
• Nov29-2019--In what seems tobe a major change in the rules the SC overturned the longterm notification issued by Zulfikar ali Bhutto about top military positions and their tenure...the tenure in the zulfikar ali bhutto rules was three years...that has usually stood the test of time barring coup plotters and illegal rulers of that kind...apart from that only one civilian extension was given that to General Kiani by the weak and frightened Gillani government...This is the second case of that kind by the Imran Khan government which is strongly making a case of its own ineptitude...again it seems tobe stating that ghalti ho gai PTI se...the several notifications caused the SC to take up the case...they ruled that there is no such thing as tenure/reappointment/extension i think and the government should pass an amendment to the constitution on the issue...it also ruled that General Bajwa could continue for six months until his retirement...a strange judgement to say the least...under these present rules army chiefs would serve until their retirement...the three year zulfikar ali bhutto notification technically they are saying was illegal and unconstitutional...maybe now the COAS can be called C-in-C or whatever because that too is not in the constitution methinks...and we can do away with the CJCsc too...?The government now will have to conjure up a constitutional amendment on military names, positions and tenures, extensions, reappointments etc...!there are also many jokes making the rounds of the danwa dhol(unsteady) COAS making a visit to sit on a PTI core committee meeting...so has Bajwa joined the PTI...hah..hah..ha...the COAS had run into controversies earlier by making 25 continuous visits to Dubai on weekends and accumulating a Rs.60 million account...!
  
• Nov28-2019--PTI has started grabbing land as is the usual with corrupt governance...apparently Imran Khans brother in law aleem khan owner of Park view city housing soceity which had no access road got CDA acquired land to build his access road which was donated or allocated by CDA last year...earlier he had been charged with not having a proper width access road and thus his housing soceity had been suspended...an area landlord has filed case in the IHC to get his land vacated...apparently 12 kanals of land had been given to aleem khans housing soceity...
  
• Nov28-2019-- PTI governments haste in attempts to sell off two new LNG power plants has caused another 117 billion rupee subsidy
  
• Nov28-2019--The army chief extension(not an electricity cord) has risen the same question over and over again of the PTI's lack of control over its ministers who appear tobe quack politicians...several notifications show that PTI is totally inexperienced and should not have been elected given their lack of expertise
  
• Nov27-2019--The SC takes up a suomoto case on the legality and reasoning of extensions for retiring army chiefs...most such extensions are given by weak unsteady governments unsure of themselves...usually upright professionals donot seek extensions...the lacuna seemed to be that that the GHQ had issued the notification for the army chiefs extension and than the primeministers office had verbally conceded it... this was arrived at after the zulfikar ali bhutto initiated rules in which army chiefs were appointed for three years only so that other officers did not feel aggrieved and uncertain in their jobs...the case is basically whether an extension can be given or not...there was no emergency on the borders and if the extension had tobe given it should have been given to the airforce chief as the military is literally incapable of any real defensive exersize even in a war...where missiles and the airforce are the main arsenal...so can one person make any difference in a war or emergency and that also a mediocre general(known more for appointing numerous Bajwa's than anything else)...hardly unless the government is totally inept...the government basically has no real decision making capability and apparently Imran Khan turned nasty and shouted at the top general on the matter and conceded that he had did not favor any other general...The SC should actually decide whether an extension is really required and why it should not be done away with for ever...the government however is treating the case as a mere litigation on minor military act rules which can easily be decided by an ordinary magistrate...It is now thought in the political sphere that things only change when the army chief is replaced...The SC upto now has generally been thought tobe a handmaiden for the military and the ISI ...thus they have an opportunity to show who really decides things even when they are not too controversial...it could also serve to show Imran Khan that he cannot order around the SC...There are two three cases around whose decisions could upset the Imran Khan dictatorial anti people apple cart...
  
• Nov26-2019--The military ruler and coup plotter has a lot of proteges in the PTI government and according to Dawn they have acted to stop a decision against him in the treason case
  
• Nov26-2019--ECP set to begin daily hearings of the PTI foreign fundings case...filed by a dissident who thought he too would get a share in the funds but according to some they were all looted and spent by Imran Khan himself barring small allocations to some electoral processes...
  
• Nov26-2019--a Lt. general with almost no corp leadership experience has been made Chief of general staff...another orphan he is considered by some to be Bajwa's bacha(protege?)...who he has kept around himself in the GHQ for most of his tenure...! Zaki Manj becomes head of the SPD which controls nuclear weapons and missile launches...after Sattar resigned as he was superceded without reason many think...two major generals have been promoted one of whom was the karachi rangers commander and recently the ISI director analysis...he was also on the recent trip to iran with Bajwa...
  
• Nov25-2019--The PTI has apparently realized that Usman Buzdar is literally useless..and might replace him in the coming days...a senior PTI leader might replace him from the center while others say that Yasmin Rasheed might be considered...however some say that Buzdar was turning a blind eye to corruption and actually Imran Khan was himself the chiefminister and everything else in punjab..so this is also one of the clearest Imran Khan failure apart from inflation ...some have even suggested the possibility of Pervez Elahi a gujerati, sugarmill owner/industrialist/landowner who has previous experience of being a chief minister and mixing bad governance with good and fast development and loot of forest lands...he was the one who started the punjab cardiology institutes in multan and rawalpindi and built underpasses in three months...
  
• Nov25-2019--while the USA is not supplying even aid on the level of the chinese their criticism of CPEC is almost the same as that heaped on CPEC by Imran Khan and the Dawoods...!And Asad Umar who was a Dawood employee says we will reject all US criticism...Asad Umar's having countrywide economic planning expertise many cite as doubtful and dubious...many suggest he work on unemployment/social security and the dole for the real poor such as the elderly and sick and uniform economic development in the country...he should focus on downtrodden areas, health and education systems...industrialization and CPEC can be taken care of by the government...the country is sick of agriculture, roads and industries...others have critisized his selection of Asim Bajwa an army officer formerly running bodyguards for islamabad and the ISPR to run the CPEC Authority being planned by the government...many suggest that an industrialist be selected for the job given what CPEC is doing
  
• Nov25-2019--Imran Khan is showing a deep interest in the foreign illaj(treatments) of Nawaz Sharif(former chum) somebody he has known for a long time...recent reports suggest that his carotid artery and arteries in his heart are also near blockage...while pakistani doctors are also as crooked as possible they usually cannot lie totally about someone with problems of the heart and diabetes for quite some time...however one must understand the mind of the simplistic idiotic dumb Imran Khan...he wants hospitals tobe run in the expensive style of the SKCH's...the cost of medical tests at SKCH's is the highest in the country...eg...the SKCH requires Rs16 billion to run just one hospital although Imran Khan has built two other cancer hospitals from its funds...in that case Imran Khan's punjab and KP hospitals should allocate at least Rs10 billion per hospital for them to provide some sort of adequate treatments to the poor...treatments at SKCH are said tobe extremely expensive or the most expensive in the country and even more expensive than the Agha Khan hospital...these charity oriented people sure like looting anybody who they come across
  
• Nov25-2019--The PTI's crooked nature is coming to the fore as it critisizes the SC and the CEC for its problems...The CEC has been helping the PTI not face a problem in the foreign funding case and dragging it along for almost five years. The evidence clearly suggests that the PTI was receiving funds from foreign entities as well as pakistani expatriates who are also foreign persons technically...PTI records are poorly maintained and they have also presented cooked up lists...while the decision is difficult it will have tobe made and has nothing todo with the PMLn and the PPP...if the CEC makes the decision it could lead to the banning of the PTI and probably restrictions on their finance officials/top leaderships...the PTI should be prepared and register another party which they can join if the PTI is banned for espionage related foreign fundings...a new election could also remotely be called if the ECP thinks that a deliberate attempt has been made to mislead the ECP and the country as well as evidence of receiving funds from foreign corporations, foreign individuals etc...obviously this decision could still be made even after the retirement of the CEC who has at best been mild in his decisions...The PTI core committee has directed Jehangir Tareen to register a new party under the name of PTI-2 and headed by Jehangir Tareen...others suggested that a new name be chosen as the name PTI would be the subject of revulsion...for taking money from foreign countries and foreign corporations...!however the CEC could rule that foreigners cannot be considered foreign countries or refer the matter to the SC for adjudication...the CEC should make the decision before his retirement many say...as a new CEC would have to rehear the arguments...
  
• Nov24-2019--PTI members accuse Sania Nishtar a musharaf era crooked politician of gender bias and being slow to change...many think she is wasting resources on non social security issues and is not including the PTI poverty stricken in the dole...many accuse her of corruption in the sale of her vegetable gardens/orchards area home in islamabad to the crooked former coup plotter Musharaf...!The PPP had got most of its members wives registered on the dole...the PTI rank and file also expected similar treatment...however the millionaires running PTI have shown no concerns for the peoples problems in matters of social security preferring to dole money to bussinesswomen and undergraduates...Sania Nishtar says she is carrying out another survey to identify the people in poverty(PTIwalas)...no such survey is apparently under way according to some PTI sources...anyway a countrywide survey would be a substantial undertaking...
  
• Nov24-2019--Pakistan stunned as Alice Wells suggests that CPEC will hurt pakistan by increasing the debt burden...while CPEC is around $20 billion it was supposed tobe around $60 billion but the PTI threw the spanner into the wheel...she also said that it would foster corruption and repatriate jobs and profits to china and would increase unemploymnet...China also mocked pakistan by suggesting that it find other country resources
  
• Nov23-2019--army SSG officer shot dead in islamabad...!
  
• Nov23-2019--Chinese envoy says no corruption in Pakistan or in CPEC...!
  
• Nov23-2019--PTI government says that military stopping oil exploration in many areas...OGDC to drill a well for shale in sindh...oil production was 89030 barrels per day and gas 3935 million cubic feet per day...The energy mix of the country is 34% gas, 31% oil, 9% LNG, 1% LPG and rest from other sources...There have been 394 discoveries with 85 of oil and 309 of gas...LNG shoring up winter gas shortfalls says SNGPL
  
• Nov23-2019--Marium Aurangzeb diagnoses Imran Khan with a mental disorder and suggests that he being a shiite is involved in hate speech...the PTI walas including Imran thought that Nawaz Sharif might keel over and Imran Khan could than be charged with manslaughter aka homicide...so they quickly released him from jail and waited and waited...alas he did not die and flew off to London...Now Imran Khan is questioning his own intelligence and Nawaz Sharifs illness...he says Nawaz Sharif bounded up the stairs of the plane while others suggest that he used an elevator...It is possible for an ill man to run up the stairs...his debilitation was of low platelets not muscle dystrophy...!The PTI has no real relevance to being in power and they think that barking about Nawaz Sharif all the time and corruption will get them valuable support...Imran Khan has probably never heard of the word paranoia...maybe he should refer the issue to his military phsycologist/phsychiatrist aka military phsycoanalyst...!!! come to think... since Nawaz Sharif did not plan to come back he did want a 7 billion rupee loss for no reason...!!!apparently Nawaz Sharif had only 20 dollars left in his account and his doctor paid for the air ambulance aka emir of Qatar...!others are suggesting that the corrupt rulers gave Imran Khan at least four plots and he used tobe very chummy with them than...probably did not know about their corruption related activities...than...!!!
  
• Nov22-2019--Imran Khan many say is an extremely devious, troublemaking, lying and a devil like character...In urdu that translates as dokebaz, makaar, jhoota, shaitaan...he apparently planned the exit of Nawaz Sharif alongwith the army chief and Shabaz Sharif after the Qatar ruler had made a plea for his release...!he openly lied to the people and the courts...and than also blamed the courts to cement his lies and devious chakri plans...however Nawaz Sharif is so immune to insults and victimization that he still might come back in a few weeks to trouble the government...chalaki and makari mein nawaz sharif and asif zardari are mere children against the evil devil of the PTI...!
  
• Nov22-2019--PTI appoints General Nadeem Raza as CJCSC...many suggest that the superceding of Sarfaraz Sattar who headed the SPD and had a good career is due to sectarian and ethnic conflicts in the PTI...
  
• Nov22-2019--many suggest that the visitors to Kartarpura are very low in numbers...!
  
• Nov21-2019--government policies are clearly designed to benefit rich industrialists through meaningless tax relief and subsidies...the people generally domestic consumers of electricity and ordinary consumers being charged/taxed excessively for the governments largesse to the rich...there must be something wrong in the minds of Imran Khan and his economic unelected advisors...why the ordinary populace cannot be subsidized is something that is difficult to understand by ordinary people...in such circumstances...Imran Khan following an anti people agenda...many suggest that the people mistakenly elected Imran Khan ...as he has turned into a front for his unelected advisors, IMF and Nepra...!
  
• Nov21-2019--CJ warns Imran Khan that they are not afraid of him...this is after his contemptuous comments on the SC to follow orders or he will give them more resources...Things will be clear in the TV attack case decision of what the judiciary thinks...Imran Khan showed a duplicity of attitude in the JUI dharna and the SC as expected will let him off lightly in the TV attack case which apparently for the PTI was a political case...Imran Khan is also a moneyed takatwar and has not faced the wrath of the courts yet...However if anyone else had said such things about the SC he would have been charged with contempt...buying the SC is much more contemptuous and is similar in nature to telephoning the judges thru the iSI and distributing money to the judges...the end of corruption has not arrived with Imran Khan because the PTI is encouraging corruption and their partymen are threatening people with occupying their homes and getting them arrested by the FIA...and ministers are buying 8 crore rupee homes...There are also reports of some supposed general attempting to occupy a home by threats and occupying vast tracts of developed rawalpindi for faujis DHA...Zardari obviously has not been able to make a case of 'i am almost dying..."yet but he is trying his level best and playing his sindhi cards...obviously zardari can be tried anywhere in the country...but he is not yet convicted...The CJ however seemed very mild and conciliatory and willing to take money from the government!...The TV attack case was not based on political motivations but on actual circumstances...and if imran is still complaining about nobody listening to him and going about doing their own thing...than the PTI government is not going to last very long...for imran khan-- nawaz sharif's return after four or more weeks will probably be crucial...!it seems his allies, unelected advisors(technically they cannot sit in the cabinet) and his partymen are on two sides of the coin...
  
• Nov21-2019--Shabaz Sharif resigns as PAC chief
  
• Nov20-2019--A journalist who usually slept in his car in a hospital carpark found dead...he had been dead for several days showing the hospital security in a very bad light
  
• Nov20-2019--The IMB a polio monitoring body takes an unserious view about the polio crisis in pakistan saying 80% of worlds new cases have been reported from pakistan..many here think the governments attention is toward minor issues and major issues such as dengue and polio get sidetracked...the food security minister mehboob sultan has been made federal minister for states and frontier regions...this ministry was held by the minister of state for interior and narcotics shehryar afridi...most ministers are just hangers on and not involved in real life work...
  
• Nov20-2019--Nawaz Sharif flies off to London in a qatari air ambulance looking hail and hearty compared to the previous days...he leaves the government in turmoil as the various PTI factions wrangle over government and court decisions...in a climbdown the much weakened Imran Khan retakes uppity Asad Umar into the cabinet as minister of Planning who gets shunted to the food security ministry...Imran Khan has few defenders of his attitude and has been rumbling in anger and disgust...Imran Khan should understand that there is only an $8 million fine imposed by the SC and there are sufficient assets belonging to nawz Sharif to cover that much...The killings of hundreds of demonstrators by extremist shiite regimes in Iran and Iraq shows pakistan tobe still a calmer place despite similar pressures in governance and peoples disgust at government policies...People have been suggesting some military quarters looking at the possibility of a martial law especially with the army chief visiting iran at a wrong moment for both countries embroiled in contrasting issues..the dictatorial and suppressive Imran Khan would probably love the no opposition rule in iran which brings the iranians in direct confrontation with its suppression prone rulers...

• Nov19-2019--forgetting his own circus on a container Imran Khan condemns JUI gathering in islamabad who are a much milder ave for the UK today after government and people...it is now the consensus opinion that Imran Khan was guilty in holding the darna too...Imran wants the CJP to restore trust in the judiciary...many have a much better opinion about the courts than they have of his government...
  
• Nov18-2019--PTI double minded about Nawaz Sharif leaving the country...they thought he was all but dead...now they think that they made a mistake by allowing out of the jail...

• Nov16-2019--There seems tobe some confusion at who will replace the CJSC who is retiring after a shouting spat with the PM...The senior most seems tobe Lt. Gen Sarfraz Sattar who seems tobe qualified enough...others suggest that Bajwa could be shifted to CJSC for Imran Khan to appoint his first army chief...!waiting in the wings is the apparently shiite Nadeem Raza who could be the favorite for the next army chief...!

• Nov16-2019--The PTI's mean natured/ nasties trying their best to not let Nawaz sharif go abroad...who goes to the LHC to remove the condition of a Rs7.5 billion bond which probably is around his entire wealth...just giving such a bond would probably require a herculean effort requiring days as there are few who can actually give such a bond...!
  
• Nov16-2019--Imran Khan has a strange mentality he says saving one billion is austerity and than in the same breadth he wastes 200 billion by saying the economy is better and doles it out to the crooked exporters who underinvoice and rip off the countries dollars...!...if a countries economy is better than the benefits should be to the people and not to a few small time industrialists/crooks...the benefits should show in electricity prices and lower prices and more jobs and not more budgets for the useless army...he suggests that he is wasting another Rs200 billion on undergraduate scholarships and in two years he should have a gratified pliable 200000 educated job hunters...!
