The Daily PakistanPolitics (aka Pakistan Punch/Political Punch) Nov1-15, 2024


Nov11-2024--as the court decision nears on Imran running away with money and land being an underhand corruption payment from absconding contractor types. Their sort of stand-in leader gandapur has started a new shosha of the final call to be given by Imran...the final call for a supposed all-out agitation till the end or supposedly the fall of the current government or collapse of the agitation...In that case Gandapur says he won't return supposedly from Punjab which is the only PTi battlefield...until the end...up to now the Imran remnants have not been able to mount any sort of viable continuous agitation and have ended up running from the battlefield...so the scenario could contain an immediate dissolution of the KP government on the basis that Gandapur has disappeared plus incarceration of as many Pti  leaders as possible...how Imran is going to give the final call is not yet known...however the thinking is that Imran is trying to somehow frighten the government and courts into not handing down  a further judgement in the 90 billion extortion case...The government response up to now has been that Imran wants some sort of NRO or be allowed to leave the country to live with his foreign friends like Trump/Jemima etc... However, even an NRO has to be worked out in talks which are not something that the PTI does very well...up to now they have always run from talks or cooperation or agreements...The government thinks that at least the Punjab police can handle the agitation...Their May9 catastrophe also did not last more than two-three days...most of the troublemakers/agitators/arsonists in earlier agitations like May9 came from the KP...the government should be ready to protects its infrastructure and come down on agitators with a heavy hand...such agitations are usually funded by unknown foreign sources like the US or other dubious organizations

Nov9-2024--the government says that electricity prices tobe reduced to Rs.26 for incremental use in winter...it is a strange argument that economy benefits from winter lower electricity prices...actually prices should be lowered in summer when more electricity is produced by the hydel system...it shows that the government has confused ideas + inflated electricity prices without reason on dubious IMF orders...technically electricity should be charged at around Rs.20..for all consumption...in a slow economy there is little incentive when u have to pay full rates for current consumption. The confusion is how to fool the people all the time...if incremental electricity can be given at 26 that means that the inflated prices of around 50 are foolish and without basis...anyway it is just a ruse for ordinary people for whom Rs26 is also inflated, and the government is just trying to help the rich segment of society such as industrialists for whom any price is affordable...

Nov9-2024--SJC meets and dismisses complaints against judges irrationally...saying complaints need to provide relevant materials/evidence...the SJC also considered the complaints of IHC judges with regard to meddling...no evidence provided by the judges too...so will judges be charged for not providing real evidence. The SJC should investigate complaints against judges by appointing someone to investigate...

Nov9-2024--suicide blast at Quetta railway station kills 26...authorities say 14 military men and 12 civilians were blownup...

Nov8-2024--Trumps election victory throws relations into a spin as government says they will cooperate with the Trump administration...PTi also again starts social media blitz suggesting that nawaz sharif close to Biden while they will try their wiles on Trump to get imran released...Pti finds/thinks it impossible to beat the cases that imran is up against...their modus operandi is generally that imran is being  maltreated despite getting food being cooked specially for him...in normal circumstances a prisoner gets two rotis and a plate of  daal or curry...imrans food consists of  myriad items and he is always chewing on something...the PTI and judges fail to realize that a prison is not a rest house...

Nov8-2024--SC judges get a 14 lakh increase in emoluments...they will now make around 2.5 million a month...

Nov7-2024--British police do nothing in PTI attack on Pakistani diplomatic vehicle in which former SC CJ Qazi faez Isa was travelling...British police have turned a blind eye to PTI men hurling abuse and harassing Pakistani politicians...British police probably do not understand PTI's dirty foul-mouthed language

Nov7-2024--seven lose their lives including four FC men in south Waziristan upper and Tirah

Nov7-2024--Trump elected USA president...The democrats probably will not put up a woman candidate again. Being a woman and the democrats controversial views made kamala lose a lot of Bidens vote bank all over the place...however the small margins added up to defeat her...if she had come up thru the primaries it might have helped her understand how things mattered to the people...many voted against just because they were finding it difficult to afford things due to inflation...democrats believe that they have a right to many minority votes which they will get without being asked however the white men over all defeated her thinking...she could not make people thing that her black and brown roots made her the right choice...others think her laughing style made her look like an unserious person not suited to the presidency...

Nov7-2024--schools and colleges closed in 18 districts of Punjab due to smog

Nov6-2024--The JCP met and appointed Justice Aminuddin Khan to head the constitution benches...by a vote of seven to five... The CJP was in the minority as the senior  judges suggestion was that the constitution benches should consist of the full court with the CJp heading it ...The seven judge constitution bench consists of Justice Aminuddin khan, Justice Ayesha A. malik, Justice Jamal khan Mandokhel, justice Naeem Akhter Afghan, justice Muhammed ali Mazhar,  justice Hasan Azhar Rizvi,  and justice Musarrat Hilali... being judges from all provinces...three senior judges and the PTI leaders opposed...one member was absent...the three judge committee that will decide which cases go to the constitution bench consists of CJP, justice Mansoor ali shah and justice Aminuddin khan...the constitution bench duration is for sixty days...whether it will be renewed or changed after that is not yet known...The judges appointed to constitutional benches include judges from both sides of the reserved seats judgement ...as well as two who served on the judgement of the Bat symbol...judges are usually independent minded and cannot be expected to support the government in all cases...a controversial case might be the review of the reserved seats judgement and whether the SC or the bench will hear it ...the reserved seats judgement was widely perceived as the judges trying to mend something based on their thinking than the law...

Nov5-2024--Government roadrollers six bills thru parliament...changes made to give the chiefs of staff a five-year tenure...government perhaps afraid of the next army chief...retirement age of chiefs of staff 64 also abolished...reappointments or extensions also tobe for five years...country might be stuck with present army chief for another seven years.

how bhuttos got into politics in 1958...

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...
