The Daily PakistanPolitics(aka Pakistan Punch/Political Punch)Jun16-30, 2022

July 1, 2022--In  a controversial judgement the LHC ordered a recount of the numbers in Hamza's election as Punjab CM minus the 25 dissident votes...so technically a second round election will be held tomorrow between Hamza and a PTI candidate...the PTI had walked out in the previous election...whether the PTI walks out again or creates a rumpus like last time is not known...The court said that anybody creating a fuss would be guilty of contempt of court...The PMLn or the former opposition coalition as of now would win with a majority of those present...Pervez Elahi is also a dissident of the PMLq as he is not obeying the orders of the parties leader...The judges should reconvene and decide on who is going to preside and who he is going to call upon if their is trouble...

June30, 2022--Dollar falls to 203...The SBP probably wont be buying too many as they have some money to spend...IMF still skittish...

June30, 2022--The shebaz coalition seems shaky as they have not appointed governors in two provinces...and the economic situation and load shedding is troubling at best...coalition partners have differences and want movement on their issues...

June28, 2022--i came across some cartoons...not all recent...

 I agree with the canadian former ministers criticism of Bajwa...obviously there had tobe some taliban around in Pakistan...many also critisize the Bajwa engineered taliban-usa agreement...Bajwa was perhaps unaware of the Taliban limitations and gave bravura guarantees on women rights etc...now they cant even go to school... have any worldwide recognition and the uSA wants to usurp their bank deposits too......bajwa has since never visited afghanistan preferring the middle east for his pleasure money hunting trips......otherwise he used to run away to meet ghani at a moments notice..!

Jun28, 2022-- arrayed in playboy type polos imran thinks that he is going to play polo/golf...but as before he is threatening lotas or turncoats...earlier he had physically threatened by gheraoing their homes......leaving parties is a time honored tradition in Pakistan and dissidents leave usually due to the dictators uneven policies or an emerging new party which the PTI once was......maybe he is getting free polos...others say amidst corruption allegations that he is actually a butcher(qasai) using SKMT funds to setup a meat processing factory...!Dawn is probably projecting him wrongly as he is not a billionaire chaprasi type i think...

Jun28, 2022--are we any different or worse than Sri Lanka...they have 3 hours of electricity load shedding ...we have 8-12 hours of load shedding)...what the point is of load shedding at night is unexplainable...obviously they cant buy oil...and we obviously cant arrange LNG which europe is siphoning off/ taking more  at $30-40/unit...!they know their problems and we continue to hide behind polemics...we should start setting up solar plants on a daily basis...the IMF deal is either wrong or unaffordable...! shifting to solar for domestic households is expensive and the governmnet should subsidize it massively...

Jun22. 2022--Hamad Azhar looses his memory(alzheimers)...says he left electricity at Rs16 while he left it at Rs25... even present government has raised it to Rs32...!The previous PMLn government had left it at Rs15...!which imran had lambasted when he came to power and raised it to Rs17...!The IMF drama has become a similar routine at the beginning of each goverment after the imran and now miftah runarounds...this goverment says that they have no money for  provincial allocations, repayments and half the imports(usually oil, edible oil, other foods, tea, FDI payments, franchise payments etc.)...!

Jun16, 2022--new oil prices...

while the world oil prices vary in the 110's...our suppliers are in the 120's...imrans liking for russian oil which is around $82-110 of which not much is available to even indians...miftah who was bent upon raising oil prices says it is blamed on imran and international prices...what benefit the extra heavy oil prices...probably  more expensive rural supplies and an across the board increase in prices...roti in KP goes upto Rs.15...The government is probably looking at a small IMF dole of $900 million and around $3billion from the chinese...the government also massively increased edible oil prices

Jun16,2022--The main accused in the conspiracy case comes out tobe the pakistan ambassador to the USA who heard " if imran survives the no trust than USA- Pakistan relations will further deteriorate"...The background is seen as the imran refusing to contact Biden on election, imran visit to the europeans villain Putin and than  Imran apparently followed the USA orders and made the no trust further easy for the opposition...he delayed it so much that there would be no possibility of an imran survival...ever since he has been harping on the conspiracy theory with him being the chief conspirator and the victim...methinks imran and the ambassador should be arrested and thoroughly interrogated...investigated...There is nobody else involved...there is no need for a commission on a one line statement uttered in an unofficial conversation...The PTI finds it difficult to stomach even an ISPR's comments...

Jun16, 2022--a CJ had suggested that when problem arise in the punjab assembly hold the session in the bagh i jinnah...with pervez elahi creating trouble and nothing else the governor cancelled the 40th session and ordered the 41st in the bagh a jinah where the punjab budget was presented...Pervez elahi said he refused to function under ministry of parliamentary and law which had been authorised to issue notifications of summoning and prorogation..

Jun16, 2022--one does not know where Mrs Imran earns money from but she has a hefty Rs.241 million...she apparently also lays claim to a property in Banigala...others say that imran paid her and farah for arranging his marriage...under strange circumstances after she divorced her first husband...
