The Daily Pakistan Politics (aka Pakistan Punch/Political Punch) Feb16-28, 2025

Feb28-2025--12 federal ministers, nine state ministers, three advisors and four SAPM's added to government. ministers and government not people oriented and are generally useless to the people

Feb28-2025--The PTI's attempts to create an opposition monolith with tiny political fragments now wants new elections. A pathetic suggestion in general

Feb26-2025--Aquib Javed says they selected the best team...there were no spring chickens or under19 players in the team...both decaying allrounders had no performances behind them...even our under nineteen spinners can spin better. So how does inexperience or pressure come into play. When this team had failed against New Zealand twice just days ago so why did an enquiry change not take place...why not take experienced spinners who are definitely better than Khushdil at least. Even an under nineteen opening batsmen could have performed better...Pakistan only team not able to score 300 apart from Bangladesh in CT. When top players can only score twenty than it is time for them to go. To the cricket graveyard...top players carry the team...but here we are dragging them around.

Feb26-2025--judges question Imran's lawyer as to why they are lying about Imran's jail conditions when he can write two-page letters. Imrans crazy lawyer wants to apply international conventions when it is difficult even to follow the constitution here...

Feb26-2025--judges daughter acquitted in a case when she ran over two waiters of Savour foods killing them in a LHC vehicle. She then fled the scene. The father was recently made a SC judge...!

Feb26-2025--a union man who was sacked from a Kabir Wala multinational beverage company in 2015 sets himself on fire outside LHC...apparently the company appealing against decision by a labour court (NIRC) to have him reinstated...he was saved by police with a fire extinguisher.

Feb25-2025--Pakistan bar council rep resigns from Judicial Council. Ahsan Boon probable replacement

Feb25-2025--a spectator ran onto to the ground in Rawalpindi - Bangladesh/New Zealand match and tried to grab a player. As tv cameras looked away the man was arrested and released on bail by private security...



Feb25-2025--bhasha/diamer  dam affected people protest at Chilas continues on 9th day. Wapda said compensation to 18000 acres owning people paid in 2020...the protest has 31 demands including free electricity to diamer district. Other demands include 80 % royalty of diamer dam and 30% royalty on Dassu dam for GB...discounted electricity for GB, financial package for 3000 families, plots, education health, sewerage projects, jobs for local people and regularization of daily/contingent wage employees...


Feb25-2025--in a case in the SC... appeals against the Army Act decision on civilians...  judges say that PTI tendency to attack military could lead to chaos or anarchy. Another judge says that military courts working under parliaments sanction..PTI/Imran's lawyer which attacked military targets on May9 and later in speeches pathetically says country cannot have both normal and military courts. If military can be tried under Army Act than so can civilians...

Feb25-2025--The anti-Punjab PTI says it will oppose the six new canals for Punjab's Cholistan..Irsa has already approved 450000 cusecs for Cholistan a largely barren sandy area. Sindh already developing its deserts...with almost half of the countries water resources...the offtake will be from barrages in Punjab like Sulemanki...although everyone says canals will be on Indus. Punjab usually takes only water from Indus in emergency like situations thru a small 6000 cusec link canal...others say the semi developed cholistan area will be confiscated -- occupied by the Army for its agriculture division

Feb25-2025-- four security men killed in north Waziristan check post attack. Three militants also killed. Ten terrorists were killed in a Khyber encounter on Monday. Six security men also injured in blast on 29 truck convoy carrying blaster copper from copper mine in saindak..MRDL running saindak mine for the last twenty years.

feb2502925--The Suzuki Alto model VXL AGS now costs Rs 3.240 million. Its Fx model was started in 1985 at Rs50000!

Feb24-2025--Virat Kohli patted Baber Azam on his rump twice and that was the end of Baber Azam...he seemingly is making a habit of selling out...The Pakistani team batted first and as usual got out in the 240's... under fire for a bad selection and not producing bowling and batting heroics they stumbled to the remote chance that somehow Bangladesh would beat New Zealand. Pakistan just not attuned to batting even on flat pitches...they just do not know how to make shots. Flailing around they just stumble to defeat. One has to just look at New Zealand...almost everyone has scored a century...and then people like josh Inglis...never made even a sixty before but trashes England to a century...it would be better to select under nineteen batters and spinners than this...it would not hurt that much.

the hurt that the Pakistani cricket team causes its young fans is devastating (see above picture)


Feb21-2025--Fakhar Zaman who was coming off a 15-month layoff got injured in the first CT match. The Pakistan team whose selection has been widely criticized...will now get senior opening batsman Imam Ul Haq as a replacement. The team's selection criticism largely surrounds not selecting top spinners and bringing in needless flailing allrounders and Saud as a spare opener...Pakistan had been doing well with rooky left arm spinner Sufian Muqeem. Some were also making a case to draft in an under 19 opener ...Those fears have however proved correct up to now...with players like Harris Rauf and Fakhar zaman getting injured who do not play regularly and part time spinners just rolling the ball...

Feb21-2025--the CJ of the IHC Sardar Muhammed Sarfraz Dogar granted bail to 120 PTI miscreants in Nov26 troublemaking. On Nov26 the PTI in an illegal manner brought govt vehicles and people from Peshawar and attacked Islamabad...The PTI even brought KP tear gas shells, government vehicles and killed several policemen and Rangers...they were even seen looting govt property and destroying safe city cameras

Feb21-2025--two cops killed and four attackers in armed attack on a police post in Quetta area

Feb21-2025--a police operation in rebellious areas of lower Kurram yielded 18 miscreants and 12 facilitators...goods looted found from five houses. On Monday 30 trucks carrying food were looted and while 19 trucks set on fire...several drivers and security men lost their lives...another convoy had also been looted in mandori with losses of lives.57 people nominated for Feb17 attack on convoys. Some drivers rescued

Feb21-2025--the duped IHC judges who first complained that they could not control intelligence interference refused to accept their Cj's ruling on seniority...they want a fresh oath for the transferred judges and want them placed at the bottom of the seniority list. Nobody will want a transfer if their seniority is not maintained...the transfer has created a unified cadre per se... there is nothing in the constitution about seniority and the SC judgement was not about transferred judges. The IHC judges have filed case in the constitutional bench...their arguments seem ordinary at best. Technically seniority for transferred judges will have tobe based on when they first join any high court even if they are required to take another oath...

Feb21-2025--rain after almost four months ends dry spell in Rawalpindi area

Feb20-2025--Pakistan collapsed to 260 all-out against New Zealand in the first champions trophy match. This is the third loss to New Zealand in a row..they let NZ bat first as if they could chase another +300 target... with no consistency they failed miserably. The stand-in opening batsman Saud could not get going...The team is left with Salman ali agha as a replacement opening batsman! in batting Pakistan failed to make a hundred in 20 overs and 160 in 30 overs...they do not have a plan on how to bat. Matt henry and o Rourke started out brilliantly. Matt henrys first five overs yielded just nine runs...their spinners turned the ball more than Pakistan's part timers. Probably the faulty selection had its effect. Not having another specialist opener in the side or a specialist left arm spinner...if Pakistan lose to India than they are out. chances depend on either New Zealand/India winning three matches and the other three sides winning one each... 

Feb19-2025-in two separate operations 34 terrorists killed.30 in Sararogha, south Waziristan and four in   Kohat-Nowshera...

Feb19-2025--Three PTi senators suspended for current senate session...They were raising a ruckus/using dirty language over the withholding of a vote count on a PTi bill on Monday. According to reports the bill could not be passed without government approval according to article 74 of the constitution...so the bill has been deferred until govt approval...apparently Gilani has not attended any session since his order to produce a jailed PTi senator was not carried out...

Feb19-2025--several lower Kurram villages including Bagan tobe evacuated for a search operation...

Feb19-2025--seven Punjab bound travelers off loaded from a bus in barkhan area and shot dead

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...
