The Daily PakistanPolitics(aka Pakistan Punch/Political Punch) Oct1-15, 2022

14 , October, 2022--the governments foreign exchange reserves have fallen to $7.59..many suggest that the government too maybe exchanging dollars due to the high rate...the government has lined up funds from donor agencies therefore maybe feeling free to spend...while the world is not big on loans to Pakistan... pakistan generally depends on donor agencies , Arabs and the Chinese who would be approached for rescheduling if Pakistan runs into trouble...the covid rescheduling has just ended and pakistan would be looking to avoid further loan repayments

14, October, 2022--imran who is very brave in confrontation with the spineless PDM suggests that he was just an orderly(chaprasi) when in government...and the orders came from someone else...apparently there is no change in the PTi attitudes so the orders may still be coming from hawai sources...he also suggests that there should be a balance between a strong military and a strong government...the military says it has withdrawn from politics but the ISPR chief was not told to refrain from commenting...in fact he has been promoted to a lt general  which seems underserved at best...one feels that there can only be one dominant force in the country




14 October, 2022--The federal government wary of Imran's control over the judiciary has asked the SC to control Imran's attempt to runover Islamabad again...and bring 24 lakhs people and provide no path to the PMLn/PDM to escape...the federal government  has already warned the provincial governments not to provide any manpower...in the last dharna attempt it was thought that the KP police overwhelmingly provided the bulk of vehicles and manpower but they ran away before entering Islamabad while the federal government controlled the crowds coming from Punjab...the government is building new gates near Serena Hotel and D-chowk which will remain open but will be closed during a uprising


14 October, 2022--the swat low level violence is taking center stage...while imran aka liar says that the establishment/agencies are behind it as they are involved in silencing the unrepentant media...swat a really backward area in remote mountain territory which has been a local tourist spot where people would go to cool their heels or avoid the rigors of fasting in summer.....some say it might be the TTP...however news coming out of Banigala suggests that imran, swati, nishtar, faraz and malala may be the key person behind the violence...swat has had almost a real insurgency led by a local mullah and the armies SGS or guerrillas/commandos pummeled them into exile...however Swat was a PMLn area before and that makes it fair game for the PTI...malala going around in a imran ismail bullet proof type vehicle while others say her tour is guided by the MI...the military had arranged for her medical treatment earlier...nobody knows why the provincial government is not hands on..in swat

13, Oct, 2022--a special court acquitted shabaz sharif and hamza sharif  from a FIA 16 billion money laundering case...this case apparently filed on the personal orders of imran to blackmail...many regard the acquittal as the result of govermental power but there was really no case

12, October, 2022--imran complains of dirty  videos being made of him(hav'nt see any though..what can be dirty about him...ugly face i suppose)--probably they deliver them directly to banigala...during his term he had vicious videos made of maryam nawaz epecially...The PMLn has had a weak team on social media while the PTI had mean nasties muscling in a plenty on social media...

12, October, 2022--Punjab home minister resigns...!apparently Pervez Elahi has run off to london...!

12, October, 2022--In what seems like a bolt from the blue 12 major generals promoted to lt generals...most seemingly bajwa or raza loyalists...according to Dawn about seven lt generals have recently retired or died...two are in waiting for the retirements at the top...dawn says that it included the slots for retirements of three last year...and one is for the possible retirement of asim munir...who could also become army chief...and one or two probably for any resignations on the top appointments..this has killed any hopes of the next army chief from bringing in his own team...

8, October, 2022--there is little to choose these days  between right wing extremists like imran and conservative communists...u can recognize the imran type carrying the balloons(putin and somebody else  have similar birthdays..).both sides attempting to free themselves from the US might...to whom they sold themselves earlier...


6, Oct, 2022--The chief pakistan selector seems tobe the person responsible for making bad selector decisions...no team depends onits bowlers to make big contributions...all of the england team batted properly at least two times...fakher, haider ali, asif ali, khushdil, nawaz and shadab are all failures over the last two series...they just have not seized their chances...u cant suddenly play your batting failures up the order...even nawaz only succeeded once...look at england ...moin ali  a literally good batter comes in at seven...to build a team the failures have tobe dropped and better prospects tried...batting once in a while does not really make anyone selectable...

6 October, 2022--Maryam Nawaz Safdar has immediately left for england after getting her passports back from the courts..she says the process is  set for her father to come back and she will convince him to get his operation...

6, Oct, 2022--In a major change of direction the PTI says their resignations from the assembly were a mere tactic...this suggests that they generally regard imran now as crazy...at best they should have just walked out for a few days...the speaker has only forwarded 11 resignations to the ECP who have announced new elections on these seats in which imran is standing on all seats.The PTI now is asking for the 11 seats tobe declared illegally declared empty while it is also in the SC to accept all the 123 resignations en masse..the speaker apparently only recognized 11 signatures...one mna was reinstalled by the courts...so with two women imran contesting on eight seats...if they really want to re-enter the national assembly they should go to the speaker and withdraw their resignations...

5 Oct, 2022--Imran leading his few supporters in his rendition of the "Heil Hitler" salute...as opposition grows in his party to meaningless confrontation and nothing new in his speeches or politics...It is supposed tobe a oath that they will participate in the next round of his theatrics...his meaningless jalsas are gettting less populated...people increasingly think his cipher and azadi jibes are meant to subjugate and isolate them further from the world...the pti which is generally a pro jewish semi liberal right wing extremist group with terrorist types of ali amin gandapur...everybody had different interpretation of how a oath should be taken...khattak and shah qureshi apparently have frozen shoulders..imran now increasingly reliant on the courts who are taking up his cases of the new NRO and resignations...many liken imran to having gangster type ideas and behaviour...


however other things have overshadowed his politics...a purported secret meeting with the Army chief in which he complained of being hounded from court to court...the army chief however said that they dont want  further participation in politics...Maryam Nawaz says he was seeking a NRO for continuing the ladla's exemption from NAB cases...with the federal goverment now increasingly reliant on the Army for protecting islamabad from the onslaught of imran supporters what happens is perhaps dependent on the army and whether they can stop things without opening fire

5 Oct, 2022--the dollar after a fast rising streak under Miftah is seeing a fall from grace...it is said to around Rs222 and Dar says that the dollar 's natural value will be around Rs200...reasons they say is falling imports and some selling and the SBP's investigation of the countries top banks for hoarding dollars and sending them abroad thru credit cards...

debacle in Dacca

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...

allah be praised
