Nov30-2024--i present two cuttings from a letter to the editor in Dawn which blames the problems in KP on the Kalashnikov, ownership of land and happenings in Afghanistan and Iran...Gandapur also threatens the country with the gun...even though the violence in the areas is endemic and more than a century old. Many still blame the former Taliban supremo as responsible for the problem...my views are that government should control politics and own the land i.e. pastures, roads and hills at least...the provincial government of today pays more attention to country politics than focusing on the problems in the province...health alone is not the only problem...
Nov30-2024 --the trouble in KP is based on the kalashnikov
Nov30-2024--seven more die in Kurram violence
Nov30-2024--KP CM seems tobe pretty dumb gunman type...he threatens to take to the street with guns if federal government applies the constitutional provision of governor rule...
Nov30-2024--PIA flights to Europe restored. Flights to begin in May...airblue to start flights to Europe too...PIA has suffered heavily due to stoppage of Europe flights...apparently PIA planes were not properly maintained (petrol leakage etc.) and there was heavy drug smuggling and pilots were said to have dubious certification...
Nov29-2024--four terrorists killed in KP in Khyber. Explosion in Turbat kills one security official
Nov29-2024--violence in Kurram continues with another 12 killed. Apparently firing going on in various villages of the area
Nov29-2024--Kp govt tries to defend the failed Nov24 demo supposedly tobe the annihilation of the Shebaz govt...while the pti tries to suggest that a hundred were killed only a few janaza's have been mentioned...the Pti's to the death demo ended after the leaders and participants fled in the night embarrassedly leaving behind a burning truck and several of their vehicles...they blamed sharp shooters although there is no evidence of that or the killing of protestors...while images of pti guns have been seen the police only fired rubber bullets from a distance. The government made much of the killing of rangers and policemen...generally the government won the show although foreign media said that soldiers had pushed a protestor of a container...container blockages and tear gas are the normal in the recent times...a drugged(ice) newsman also apparently tried to snatch a police gun and was arrested...the newsmen protested that it was a concocted story...Matiullah Jan had a previous disappearance too and is said tobe undercover for military agencies...The Baluchistan assembly passed a resolution to ban the PTI over its illegal activities...however the Shebaz govt seems frightened to impose governors' rule in KP or ban the PTI which can be done over illegal foreign funding or even the treasonous behavior of the KP chief minister in attacking the Shebaz govt at the center...the pti secretary general Salman Akram raja who had lost in the elections also resigned...and the SIC chief Hamid raza resigned from pti's political committees on vicious in fighting
Nov28-2024--Willim Hague a former respected british foreign minister elected oxford chancellor...imran khan not considered as he was a convict and in jail and had a dubious attitude towards the west and was involved in corruption too
Nov28-2024--life returns to normal after the four-day blockade and pti invasion of islamabad...over 200 vehicles impounded, 1400 arrested and 39 firearms...167 cameras damaged and 37 afghans arrested..400 also arrested in Rawalpindi
Nov28-2024--a man being apparently pushed off a container by security officials is safe but injured...apparently some say he was praying and others say making a tiktok video..many were shown tobe climbing on the containers at d-chowk where the rangers/army had positioned themselves...later the containers were seen on fire
Nov27-2024--gandapur set fire to his protest truck before escaping...while word is that ptiwalas set fire to the truck the rangers probably did it ...!
Nov27-2024--In the aftermath the pti agenda seemed dubious...Bushra Bibi exploited the weak kneed pukhtuns and occupied the convoy leadership probably sending fear into the minds of Imran and other nasty pti leaders...on the plus side the pti did reach d-chowk and almost had the police at bay before the usual gandapur escape...gandapur seemed to disappear from the protest several times...jovially some say that he would escape to have food and a brandy or two...on the negative side the PTI invaded and attacked several media houses and injured journalists and used KP government tear gas and various types of guns... the general impact was negative...around 30 Afghan nationals have also been arrested...in the end it appeared that the chief minister of a province was attacking the federal government. Many were of the opinion that his job was to attend the problems in Kurram/Parachinar where nearly a hundred were killed in sectarian violence...an orderly demo with flag waving participants in Peshawar would have been more appropriate...in the end one must say that Imran could not handle the leadership from jail and his appointed chairman was ineffective and ordinary...the pti wanted to embarass the federal government...there was little possibility of any of their demands being met...if they had preferred todo it peacefully...flag waving meetings in peshawar, karachi and peshawar would have been more efffective...the ptiworkers/pukhtuns were more interested in hooliganism and tor-phor...real talks also can achieve the endpoint rather more easily than such lashkar kashi...but pti does not want to change their isolated approach
Nov27-2024--The pti final call protest/terrorism in Islamabad is finally over...what happened last night is not too clear but the protestors literally ran away after setting on fire containers and according to reports the truck /container that carried the pti leaders...most pti leaders stayed away...apparently gandapur and the vicious Bushra Bibi escaped to KP via Haripur...KP touches Islamabad and Haripur is just over the hill...after they disappeared the protestors were seen running from the scene...supposedly attempts were made to keep the protestors here but they were not ready for that...at least 200 vehicles were left behind and according to police damage to police vehicles, destruction of metro stations, and Islamabad safe city camera's was extensive...Islamabad police was to attack the demonstrators cum terrorists during the night but apparently the pti leaders decided to disappear again...this is the third time that gandapur has disappeared from Islamabad...the main problem was difference of opinions amongst pti leaders and Bushra aka Bibi was supposedly the key leader of the protest...pti leaders suggest that she refused to follow Imran's orders and an orderly protest at sangjani was refused in place of the mayhem that followed...police arrested around 800-900 protestors and confiscated various types of weapons...at least four to five policemen and rangers were killed...while two protestors are also mentioned there is no proof of that...reports of gandapur bringing along KP stash of teargas...the protest ended on a meaningless note and according to CNN none of the nine points agenda was achieved...the government and gandapur have both tried point scoring in the aftermath/mess...

Nov26-2024--Kurram death toll rises to 73 as sporadic clashes continue
Nov26-2024--The pti convoys apparently four in number are at various places in Islamabad...at the moment there seems no method to stop them...a encounter could take place at d - chowk or near it...police estimates that the numbers are around 30-40000 protestors...police methods can only slow them down...pti claims rangers shot dead two of the protestors but there is no confirmation of that
Nov26-2024--Interior minister says despite reaching an agreement to congregate at sangjani twice the lashkar kept moving forward...government looking like novices against the terror/mob tactics of pti...interior minister says that tear gas being fired by pti and he is sure that a behind the scenes hand is controlling the mob...the previous experience of 2013 suggests that several retired generals might be controllers ...interior minister says he has handed over control to the IG to-do whatever he wants and the military has taken positions at d-chowk...
Nov26-2024--reports on tv channels suggest that the pti jaloos or convoy or lashkar has started to arrive at Zero point...arrests might not work on the paranoid pti followers...the government has little pressure to stop the protestors unless it is ready to use at least rubber bullets...cynics or observers suggest that only aerial bombardment can stop them...
Nov26-2024--latest media reports suggest that two policemen and four rangers killed by miscreants...technically the pti...a car ran over four rangers on Srinagar highway...article 245 applied in Islamabad and the army called to protect the red zone...a situation may be reached when there is total collapse of law and order and martial law has tobe applied...both president and acting president have left the country. Pti protestors have injured 70 policemen in skirmishes and pictures show they looted police equipment
Nov26-2024--Interior minister debunks talks rumors...he says pti fired on police at various places and if we had fired back they would not have progressed beyond pathargarh...he said pti was asked to hold protest at Sangjani but no response was received...he says its differences amongst pti leaders...goher ali khan apparently visited Imran twice and media says Imran sent a recording for workers and Bushra /gandapur

Nov25-2024--The pti lashkar from peshawar has not yet arrived in islamabad...no influx from the punjab side noticed...The bridge over the indus is almost unpassable with tens of containers stashed onit...the pti can come from the kohat side or the ghazi bridge or even hazara or murree side and various motorway points ...reports on tv channels suggest that talks are underway to decide on what is being referred to as a dharna point where Pti will be allowed to gather after an agreement is reached...supposedly the pti groups are using all available routes to islamabad...minor demos were broken up at faizabad etc..around 800 pti arrested in punjab..one policeman killed supposedly by pti mobs in hakla..pti says they will take some days to get to islamabad

Nov23-2024--seven terrorists killed in baluchistan areas...three terrorists killed in Bannu
Nov23-2024--it is obvious that bushra bibi is not an ordinary housewife...apparently imran married her because it would make him primeminister...Pti leaders say that they or imran have excellent relations with the crown prince and that bushra did not mention saudi Arabia...who else would dare to phone the army chief over imrans barefoot walking is unclear...imran did have dubious relations with saudia as he did not believe that the crown prince was not involved in the complete disappearance of a american journalist from turkey...most pti walas deeply antagonistic against saudia as they are about everybody else
Nov23-2024--death toll in kurram convoy attack rises to 43..schools bazaars closed in parachinar..a curfew was imposed and mobiles systems shut down...the area has a history of sectarian violence...the convoy had 200 vehicles and came under heavy fire in area of Bagan..situation say officials extremely tense..
Nov22-2024--in what is being called an outburst a new reason for imrans removal has been aired by bushra that people didnt like imrans walking barefoot in medina...and that phonecalls against imran had been made to bajwa on that..she suggested that caused the overseas run conspiracy...this has not been heard before...it is probably another attempt to foist bushra on the party who apparently has taken over the KP administration...many suggest that bushra was airing her opposition to the saudis..others assume that the phone calls were coming from liberal mafiaosi and others opposing shariah...shariah does not have anything todo with walking barefoot in medina a hotbed of shiite clerics early on...only gunahgar people walk barefoot for atonement...usually it is the shiites who rundown the saudis...the interior minister said that arrangements to control pti gandpurism is ongoing but protests can only be held in designated areas...however many regard gandapur as a lame duck with his tail between his legs after bushra's release..supposedly most roads/motorways out of kp will be blocked as will bridges and motorways in punjab... hundreds of containers line the streets in rawalpindi and islamabad...a similar statement was aired by bushra earlier when she suggested that she was the heir apparent but it was not regarded as problematic
