2024 Elections

2024 Elections
election results in 2024..PTI in 2018 just a pukhtun based party literally surged in Punjab and karachi to emerge as the largest party with 114 seats in the national assembly...Though imran did not win a majority in 2018 even he failed in 2024 because of more cooperation between the PMLn and PPP and the collapse of the majlis amal and the breakup of imrans coalition whom he derogatorily alleged were trying to blackmail him alongwith losing the backing of the army and the resurgence of the mqm-P and JUIf...there is a large difference in the 2018 upright imran the cricket captain and the dubious looter/crazy politician imran in 2024 and the running after money, embezzler of party funds/funds from dubious contractors..looting state gifts and using a foreign office cipher for propaganda the world over..his mean and nasty influencers also did not help his cause...the PTI used to lap up everything the PTI influencers put out...

Oct15-2025--48 hour truce on taliban request in almost continuous clashes on afghan border...security sources say precision strikes carried out in kabul and kandahar... 

Oct15-2025--Berlin to spend 10 billion euros on drone wall...europeans had trouble shooting down russian drones...they should consult Pakistan which had to deal with hundreds of indian-israeli drones but they were shot down by fighter planes and even people/police on the ground with guns...while some fell harmlessy others caused  some casaulties..turkey is a big manufacturer of drones as is iran...military drones manufactured by the usa and china...In the pakistani tribal areas ordinary small drones are being weaponised causing problems

Oct15-2025--Police raid TLP hq's and Rizvi home and recover a hoarde of gold, silver and various currencies... 1.92 kilos of gold, 110 million in curency, 898 kg silver, 69 watches and various jewellery/ornaments...apparently TLP buying up properties around their HQ's...TLP training dedicated armed men, fighters and social media activists on the PTI pattern...

Oct14-2025--pesent day Torkham which has been closed after clashes...in 1930 only one soldier was stationed here with no traffic...

Sohail afridi a more typical pukhtun/afghan/tribal and cosidered a terrorist colaborator with the views ...mein to hissa loon ga...considered pro corruption and facilitator of terrorists...!lets see if he turns out tobe a gandapur protege or bani ka bacha...


Oct14-2025--The CB eight member bench is large enough to hear the 26th amendment ...bench hearing arguments for convening a full court which would have tobe referred to the CJP...CB is more conservative than normal judges who include their whims, views in judgements...26th amendment already implemented and constitutional matters have tobe referred to them...CB might ask the JC to allow it the powers to attach a fullcourt to the CB to  hear the matter...in any case unravelling the 26th amendent would be problematic unless the court allows matters already handled...

Oct14-2025--TLP chief disappears...clashes in many punjab cities and karachi...

TLP stage remains in Muridke on fire similar to PTI Nov26 protest when they set their truck on fire and ran back to Kp

Oct14-2025--The PHC has asked the governor to administer the oath to sohail afridi...orders KP assembly speaker to administer oath if governor does not...Governor says he did not refuse the oath...governor to reach Kp tonight...The Dawn says that sohail afridi is bent upon a agenda to confront or directly oppose the center...sohail afridi is accused by many of corruption and facilitating terrorists...Gandapur accused of shifting massive funds to his own constituency...how he will stop army from operations is not yet known...getting imran released is another illegal act..Gandapur failed to terrify the center with his invasion of islamabad/lahore after which he escaped over the hills...however gandapur did not make any attempt to attack the adiala jail...and was cooperative with the interior minister...in other related matters dawn says that TTP militants talks with khyber tribals have failed as they called for shariah and unhindered movement in the tribal area...The jirga says that they were taken to a hilly area in malakdinkhel and militants were present in large numbers along the way and talks held under fear of a military assault...how sohail afridi aims to stop operations  and get center to change afghan/imran policy is unclear...things could get interesting and the kp government could be suspended even though the center did not interfere much with gandapur...

Oct14-2025--PPP attacks on punjab CM were at best blackmail forcing the federal government to approve new programs for karachi including a elevated expressway from the port for trucks... a private sector program for 500 EV buses for karachi etc... 


Oct14-2025-- diabetes medicines now being touted as causing weight loss and increasing age... while patients know that each new diabetes medicine initially causes weight loss the aspect that they ease age related problems is something new

Oct14-2025--The gandapur resignation runs into trouble as governor refuses to issue notification as his two signatures donot match..opposition candidates not included in assembly election as they said it was illegal to elect a new CM when the first was still around...gandapur for the first time ran around meeting legislators...some suggest that many were perturbed at not being considered for election...punjab called the new CM a parchi man...the CM designate seems more crazy than the bani ne kaha he..gandapur...he said that he had become CM on his personal efforts...nobody had previously heard of sohail afridi...he issued a new chakar..that the PTI belonged to imran...That is probably worse than saying that bani ke orders hen...a political party is nothing without a support base...constitutionally there is no such thing as following some jail convicts orders...gandapur's resignation is at best illegal...it seems that sohail afridi will probably have to follow the orders of gandapur, aleema and imran...many think that the PTI is so confused and divided that imran has to issue orders for anything tobe done...what the governor wants to do is unclear and he has called gandapur to come and clarify on the 15th at 3pm...the election of the CM is clearly illegal and another election might have tobe held with opposition candidates also participating

Oct14-2025--Police forcibly clear the TLP demo from muridke...five killed and forty vehicles set on fire...protestors responded with stone pelting, petrol bonbs and heavy gunfire...SHO, three protestors and a passerby amongst the dead 


SHO killed seperately in sheikhupura while resisting armed groups...Police now blame TLP goons/mob

October13-2025--nationwide campaign to administer polio drops to 45 million children under five begins with 400000 polio workers who sometimes face security problems ...a supplementary dose of vitamin also included... over 830000 children missed everytime...1 million children in just Rawalpindi alone...280 policemen to provide security in rawapindi with QRF(soan zone) as standby...in the past polio campaigns have been repeated two three times...however every year there are a few new polio cases

Oct11-2025--terrorists invade police training school in DI khan ...a suicide vehicle hit the gate and  militants attacked mosque and police inside...six cops killed including a mosque imam...five terrorists killed...the armed forces now call the terrorists khawarij or fitna i hindustan and makes many think of anti terrorist activity as more necessary

Oct11-2025--Gaza protests by the TLP in lahore turn into clashes with police and a march starts towards islamabad...administration digging up trenches and blocking bridges on the way to islamabad...rawalpindi/islamabad already sets up containers to block protests 


Oct11-2025--recent clashes between terrorists and the armed forces have gotten more fierce with gunship helicopters used in Dir and other places..ISPR chief critisizes KP government for not restricting things like non custom paid vehicles which he says funds the TTP...Gandapur however was supportive of anti terror operations... Tarrar says imran and KP governent supporting terrorists...one does not believe that non custom paid vehicles fund TTP facilitators..in todays system most financial transactions can easily be tracked...at least 30 terrorists were killed in Orakzai alongwith 11 faujis...talks have not been possible with kabul or TTP withe kabul now apparently cozing upto india...India getting missiles from the UK which can only be targeted on Pakistan...british primeminister should not think only of making money but also of the consequences as india has a huge mountain of missiles of various types...the fauj should know that most TTP militants are located in Pakistan and only families and old people are said tobe in TTP camps in imrans home afghan province of Paktika...Pakistan reluctant to bomb afghan areas as it is unlikely to produce results...so the army is stuck in locating and eliminating terrorists unless afghanistan can stop the supply lines to the militants...reports suggest bombing of a old weapons market near the border and two explosions in Kabul targeting the TTP chief...KP reports suggest that eight out of  ten militants are usually afghan...


Oct11-2025--a handwritten resignation from gandapur received in KP's governor house..previous resignation gets lost... governor says he will process it...all he can do is ask him to continue until the next CM already nominated is elected by the KP assembly...

there is a remote possibility of governor rule as terrorism is beyond control by normal methods...

Oct9-2025--a study finds only one family in five can afford desired meals and poverty is over 40% mainly due to IMF economics

Oct9-2025--Imran suddenly issued orders to remove Ali Amin gandapur the strong-willed CM of KP who seemingly was unable to rule with the constant dictatorial interference of the Bani...Gandapur almost ruling as a replacement for imran seems a failed experiment at creating docile orderlies...most of imrans appointments have to fade out due to his dictatorship style of control...gandapur had been restricted by the party from meeting imran regularly and that finally ended his government after he apparently criticized aleema and said she was under control of military intelligence and attempting to become the chairman...it seems that on meeting the cornered Bani after a long time reports of his cabinets corruption, terrorism and his differences with the imran women were a cause of concern...however on getting back to Peshawar he fired two ministers, fiddled with his cabinet and promoted many advisors including sohail afridi, but it was thought to be not enough after reports of the kidnapping of a prominent PTI influencer in peshawar and mayhem in Orakzai...seemingly gandapur was aware of his being fired and wanted to again meet the bani... the orders apparently came from Lahore...there was not much opposition to Gandapur however he constantly ran into trouble with the stream of bani's orders...however the main fault was not being able to do anything about the constant terror and counter terror...with many soldiers laying down their lives a day earlier in Orakzai... The man picked to replace him is at best a junior politician serving as gandapurs education advisor and having been made a minister a few days earlier... Sohail afridi's fame comes from being a MPA from the tribal area khyber and having been the head of the PTI's student organisation...supposedly he is more militant and would be tougher for the establishment to handle... gandapurs Nov26 jatha invasion of islamabad failure, cowardly running away to Kp over the hills and reappearing a day later... and failure to get imran released might have been another key point...they tried making the case of hundreds being killed but failed badly...he was thought to be conniving with the establishment as well as scheming against them... Imran, many think, should have let the CM and assembly sort things out...with his dictatorship forced upon a dictatorial gandapur things were always up in the air with Gandapur always claiming they were the Bani's orders...the new cm supposedly being from an area where militancy exists uncontrolled and could force the federal government to handle things through tribal leaders and jirgas rather than operations...gandapurs jirgas could handle civilian demos and uprisings but were of no use against the TTP...he also could not follow Imran orders to wrangle sufficiently with the centre and go to Kabul on his own...imran supposedly also perturbed at his tribe of afghan refugees being sent back even after forty-fifty years even though Afghanistan is much more peaceful than KP...afghan refugees seemingly happy to go back as life in Pakistan no bed of roses compared to earlier times

October8-9-2025--In an operation in Orakzai the military ran into a TTP group and in the exchange of fire eleven soldiers including a lt col and major and 19 terrorists were killed...

Oct7-2025-- Greta Thunberg, only decent human left in the west ...accuses western governments of complicity in Gaza massacres...not a tear is shed for 60000 gazan's while they mourn for days if a Jew is killed...

Oct7-2025--The Punjab government to start delivering flood compensation cheques from Oct7...aabiana(canal water charges) relief announced in flood hit areas...canola being touted as alternate to wheat as it would get growers $750 per ton, triple the price of wheat...Ahsan Iqbal starts a canola initiative over 5000 acres in his own constituency only...canola also grows earlier than wheat and has to be planted earlier...KP says they have planted olive over 700000 acres and saffron both cash crops...PM flood package should study the magnitude of flood problems apart from doling out according to NFC... In Punjab, crop losses reported over 2.5 million acres and a target set to sow wheat on 16.5 million acres... Punjab CM approved a 171 point agenda for flood relief...2855 villages affected in Punjab...1 million to a deceased's family while 500000/300000 to a permanent /partially disabled person...a fully damaged concrete house to get 1 million while partially damaged to get 300000…fully damaged mud house to get 500000 and partially damaged mud house 150000...how the prime ministers 2 million for a deceased will factor in is not known...

Oct7-2025--The Sindh PPP is a menace to the country and Karachi and should be banned from politics...they refused even to attend the PM ordered flood relief committee... In Karachi, they can't do simple things like road repair and stopping marauding trucks running over people and motorcyclists...the country cant be run properly if the PM, president and the deputy PM are away on meaningless foreign tours...during a disastrous flood and rain season...the president especially was on a tour just for information and fun...with his entire family...

Karachi's truck problem...they routinely run over people and motorcyclists and the chief minister refuses to stop them racing...

Oct6-2025-- Sindh PPP not of any use as an ally is the view in Punjab…the PPP which has a bad record in Karachi and floods and have taken years to rebuild houses damaged in the 2022 flood...as for canals what was being built was a flood relief canal which would have been of great help in these floods and was not a canal on the Indus…in Sindh years of work takes decades...with almost no leaders in Punjab Sindh PPP tries to play negative politics in Punjab

Oct6-2025--In Gilgit ASWJ emir of GB attacked near the central police office causing protests to erupt in various areas… the emir travelling with a driver and three police guards fired back, and the culprits escaped in a car they snatched leaving behind two vehicles...also a GB judge and his security staff were fired at without anyone being injured

Bank of Punjab to establish counters in each tehsil where flood affected could receive Rs.50000 immediately after getting cards... Punjab IT board has set up a platform which would resolve PDMA complaints within seven days...DG PDMA stated that there were, 350000 flood affected in 2010, 38196 in 2012, 359000 in 2014 amongst whom 14 billion were distributed... In 2022 56000 flood affected received Rs10 billion...over the past fifteen years 51 billion were distributed amongst flood affected ... However, the damage in current floods was greater than all previous floods

Oct5-2025-- after threats by Indian armed forces chiefs and defence establishment/politicians... ISPR says that any future conflict will lead to cataclysmic devastation...and Pakistan will not hold back…any myths about geographic immunity will be shattered... Pakistan's response will be swift, decisive and destructive...as for wiping Pakistan off the map, India must know that if the situation comes it will be mutual...

Oct5-2025--14 terrorists killed in zehri area of Khuzdar mountains/district

Oct5-2025--In Punjab the stature of CM Maryam is seen to be rising after attacks by the dirty, nasty and filthy-mean PPP...even the KMC mayor who has been unable to restore roads in Karachi waded into the filth being spewed by a variety of PPP leaders...form 47 which is the only possible way to win a normal election was used to copy the dirty minded PTI politicos...most has to do with the PPP/PTI animosity and anti-Punjabi bent of mind evident in their opposing canals, dams and even electric transport in Punjab...PPP has an evil mindset in attempting to dominate Punjab and cause its damage/division... In times of trouble such things will be responded too...why should Punjab not be aware of its enemies...a Roshan, lively and awake Punjab is preferable to the dumb Punjab that is enacted by shahbaz and the dubious PPP

How it all started...coups and politics and islam and democracy...
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...

allah be praised

allah be praised
allah be praised...i do own forty factories but the people think i am a pauper...i really donot need sarkari umra's....please allah i did not promise imran khan the government when he fell off the platform...cant u make him my slave and not ask for recounts...!
