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,he even 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...Imran a very biased animosity proned person...on becoming captain he had sacked prominent cricketers Zaheer Abbas and Abdul Qadir..he did not like Abdul Qadir's praying in the dressing room...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...Imran does not accept reality...!

The Daily Pakistan Politics (aka Political Punch/Pakistan Punch) Jan 16-31, 2026


Jan31-2026--Sohail afridi spends billions of KP money on new colorful clothes as pukhtuns around him wear down to earth sodden clothes...he has afridis running for their lives without any visible disaster or even army or snow in Khyber-Tirah...he is turning into a rangeelah...! If people run from snow than various snowbound areas in Pakistan would create very large migrations...The Tribune says people started leaving aftre mosques blaired warnings...however the provincial govt was involved as it allocated over Rs4 billion for travel fare...they say Sohail Afridi who seemingly relies on propaganda runs of to karachi and islamabad for his personal concerns and lacks ability to solve local problems even in his own area...


Jan31-2026--as exports fall the primeminister as usual announces a package for industries...the government should try to solve the afghan issue which has stopped exports from KP...the industrialists who are billionaires are always complaining...Pakistan is over industrialized with 150 textile mills shut down..Pakistan lacks competitive attitudes..Pakistan also lacks expertise in many areas such as clothes stitching..Bangladesh has surged ahead on makeups  by importing cotton and making woolen madeups...here buyers still reject whole orders in problems in stitching and cutting and quality...the industrialists just do not know how to overcome problems and are only out to make a bigger profit...Government should probably focus on industries in the oil , agricultural, mining and mineral fields which have some potential...Imrans govt gave industrialists 500 billion in loans at 5% but nothing improved...

Jan31-2026--Pims Executive director says that imran was under the care of a eye specialist and his procedure went smoothly and reports and directions were provided to him..procedure carried out after his written consent

Jan31-2026--At least 37 terrorists killed across 12 locations in Baluchistan..over 88 killed in last 48 hours..10 security related men killed..recovery of stolen money and other items...

Jan30-2026--most of the treatments for CRVO (imrans eye problem)are not too lethal and include injections, laser therapy and steroids(pills)..diagnosis includes a dilated eye exam ...Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) for swelling, plus Fluorescein Angiography...usually it is just a swollen red leaking or not vein...in twenty minutes you cannot even do a dilated eye exam...but there can be complications...

 Macular Edema: Fluid buildup in the macula (central vision area) causes blurry, distorted, or lost central vision.

  • Neovascular Glaucoma (NVG): Abnormal blood vessels grow on the iris and in the drainage angle, blocking fluid outflow, raising eye pressure (IOP), causing pain, redness, and severe vision loss.
  • Vitreous Hemorrhage: Bleeding from new vessels into the vitreous, causing floaters or shadows in vision.
  • Macular Ischemia: Lack of oxygen to the macula, leading to permanent vision loss.
  • Retinal Neovascularization: Growth of new, fragile blood vessels on the retina itself, which can bleed 

  • usually after treament regular checkups are necessary... imran seemingly has no complications...if he has vision loss he will probably have to be hospitalized...he could however suffer from some blurring or floaters...PIMs is a good hospital on the style of the NHS..it at least has good doctors who work in other hospitals too...probably good to take him to a specialty eye hospital of which there a couple here...

    This probably works into the propaganda  of the PTI who have always had dire imaginations of his possible health problems

    PTI walas have been told a medical report from the doctor will be provided... PTI walas want personal physians to examine or shift him to  SKMT which is a cancer hospital...There is no harm in allowing personal physians even though everyone on the PTI side is a politician plus propaganda expert

    On the funny side we could have a new  or another mullah omar... even though that is something that could only happen  due to complications 

    Jan30-2026--liliputian middle east states deny any support to military attacks on Iran...Iran should also reciprocate the sentiments...It is unlikely that Iran has any new weapons as its factories were also bombed by israel and it could face further disastrous damages in a war..Pakistan has suggested some changes with how it challenges USA meaninglessly...respect can only be earned by turning into a non belligerent peaceful state like Pakistan

    Jan30-2026--mother-daughter die in a fall into a manhole...in Lahore...DC, Tepa, Wasa  officials involved fired from their jobs for ever...!Dawn says over 1400 open manholes in Islamabad out of 30000..At least Islamabad should cover all manholes...The guilty manhole after being covered in lahores data durbar area...


    Jan30-2026--In what seems a combined military-CTD/police operation five militants killed in Domel, Bannu operation alongwith three civilians

    Jan29-2026--Pakistan Army to use mediocre drones for foward monitoring...Army chief considers this a  major transformation...Army should get into military drones equiped with missiles too...

    Jan29-2026--a supposedly late night night visit to PIMs by a convalescent Imran confirmed by government..while the report had suggested eye damage and several hours of treatment minister says only 20 minute procedure was conducted due to a coagulated /bloody/swollen vein in the eye...!The french president had a similar complaint recently..one of the Niazi sisters threatened everyones eyes...! such a cruel woman...

    Jan29-2026--Minister and Discos finally giveup trying to belittle and create trouble for solar users...last months bills had apparently wiped out all their solar units accumulated..the dubious natured minister has now ordered a correction of the bills..Discos are not paying anything to solar suppliers and whatever is supplied is disappearing into nothing...most solar users are  in the 8-15 KW bracket apart from rich generals , ministers and bussinessmen...it hardly matters how much they generate as it has provided discos an almost free source of power...they complain that they cant control the system which is not the Discos responsibility anyways...they already charge around Rs.3000 extra for nothing in exchange...

    Jan29-2026--Tirah evacuations by Sohail afridi seem very suspicious...militants are known to live in the remote hills of Khyber and tribals want them out...however sohail afridi is trying to get federal approval for the evacuations even though afridi's seemingly regularly come down from the hills on the afghan border thruout history when its gets too cold...many think that sohail afridi wants to give handouts to his clan in the guise of military operations...others suggest that they are being moved to various cities in punjab to handle feb 8 troublemaking..some afridis were even protesting tree cutting in islamabad suggesting with evil in mind that they were choking  irrespective that islamabad is a tree paradise comparatively...nothing grew in the hilly stony islamabad before it became the capitol...many planted trees died because of deemak especially the maple trees...many others thing the secrecy oriented evacuations are meant to relocate the TTP/militant friends of Sohail afridi...earlier tribals suggested that militants were swarming over remote khyber mountaineous regions..however islamabad and the military say no large scale military operation is ongoing or planned in the forthcoming days...the defence minister said that IBO's are the way forward and Sohail Afridi tried to insinuate that a planned military operation had caused the evacuations...there are some reports that tribal jirga's a year ago are being blamed in which tribal elders wanted operations...the military it is suggested participated but were only listening...Sohail Afridi is hell bent against the center and military operations and one finds it strange that he is taking cover against supposed operations for his dubious evacuations...

    Jan29-2026--FBR says lifestyling tracking found a mere 38 cases where they suspected declared incomes were way below declared incomes...even poor people spend lavishly on weddings as even dresses now cost upto millions and gold is not a Rs100 per tola as it was in 1951...it would be strange if FBR turned up at weddings and wanted accounting of dress, gold and food costs..!surreptitious surveillance without court orders is seemingly illegal...

    Jan29-2026--Supreme Court judges told not to change rape charges to fornication...one SC judge had even questioned a murder committed in sexual lassez faire suggesting that illicit relations were the cause of many a murder and rape...  

    Jan29-2026--at least 15 muslim countries out of 26 have joined Trumps BOP..absent are big military coglomerates China and Russia and many latin american and european countries...europe cozying up to India while Britain and Canada nearing good relations with China..Xi also says that relations with India like a big elephant with a firy dragon...

    Jan28-2026--center says they have not asked for any evacuation from Tirah or announced any operation.. and provincial government behind displacement and setting up displacement camps...many think that sohail afridi trying to dole out aid to people facing hardships due to cold and snow...usually tribal elders supported campaigns handled by police and CTD...why provincial govt has setup  relocation centers all over the place when it is being forced by somebody else...they are suggesting that corp commander held talks with tribal elders when usually such matters are dealt with by the the provincial govt, police and CTD...There has been violence in the area and tribals say that militants have control of remote mountaineous areas...Sohail Afridi who has been isolated as he refuses to meet army or federal govt officials and prefers to send letters...he has recently asked for 58 billion rupees again in a letter which the govt thinks will be wasted on Feb8 events...if any losses occur anywhere in the country sohail afridi should be held responsibe and money deducted from Kp payments...

    Jan27-2026--five terrorists killed in Pishin say CTD.. 

    Jan27-2026--The Punjab governent again take steps to stop conflicts after the PTI stated that they would be flying Qaidi #806 and PTI kites...section 144 has been imposed in lahore to stop the use of the cultural event for religious or political purposes..Kites can only multicoloured or uni colored and no political slogan or picture or party flag will be allowed...it prohibits the use of any image or picturof any person, holy scripture, religious place, flag of any country or  political party......only Gudda or patangs are allowed and maximum sizes have been announced...this to prevent imran kites or PTI flag kites...manufactures have been announced and even type of strings that are allowed...violatorsof the law in lahore could face five years in prison and fine of 2 million...while those manufacturing banned material could face five to seven years and fines of upo 5 million...These rules are for lahore and probaby PTI kites can fly in other cities...

    Jan27-2026--Rashid Latif says  greater pressure on other bowlers by dropping Haris who has been the teams main wicket taker among spinners and Shaheen...Haris has been the highest wicket taker with 184...the team is spin heavy with five to seven spinners/spin alrounders and at least three occasional wicketkeepers who have not kept much...batting may largly depend on the openers and Fakhar...Salman Agha is generally a ten to 15 runs scorer...but has improved at number three in last two mactches

    Jan26-2026--three killed in panjgur operation...In bannu firing on police vehicle...two militants killed

    Jan25-2026--death toll of gul plaza climbs to 79 and only 23 identified...one buried in absentia..fire at a 19 storey building in gulberg, lahore causes three deaths...

    Jan25-2026--Government says they or the armed forces have not asked for the depopulation of Tirah...Sohail afridi had tirah natives lining up to migrate...govt says that weather or other matters might have caused it and said that tribals themselves want militants removed...military operations try to keep civilians isolated..malikdin khel a khyber area supposedly has a large force of militants...Tirah supposedly snowbound...

    Jan25-2026--Lahore to be divided into two districts

    Jan25-2026--afterselling PIA for nothing government goes after countries main airports.. 

    Jan25-2026--ICC which is headed by an indian has brought in Scotland in place of Bangladesh for the world t20...a bangladesh player selected by an IPL team had been riduled and threatened and forced tobe removed from the IPL team...what can be more threatening than that...Pakistan still thinking of withdrawing in sympathy

    Jan25-2026--As expected the duo of  Iman and hadi were sentenced to  cumulative seventeen years under three peca regulations and fined Rs36 million each...They were convicted of calling Pakistan  a terrorist state, in numerous social media posts between 2022 and 2025 in which they accused the Pakistan army of carrying out acts of terrorism and disappearing people...and spread the terrorist  agenda of BLA, TTP, BYC and pashteen movement...

    “She propagated a narrative that aligned with hostile terrorist groups and proscribed organisations and individuals. Her contents incited ethnic hatred, undermined public trust on state organisations and portrayed the armed forces as being behind terrorism and forced disappearances.”

    Imaan’s tweets made between 2021 and 2025...  “portrayed the agenda” of the banned Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

    Judge Majoka stated: “Both the accused persons are advocates by profession and they have full knowledge that the  Pakistan is not included in the list of terrorist states but they have intentionally in their tweets mentioned  Pakistan as a terrorist state, which in fact is the agenda of BLA, TTP.”

    “Both the accused persons portrayed the armed forces as being responsible for the acts of terrorism in the country and alleged that the state and its institutions are working in collusion with the proscribed individuals and organisations.”Imaan Zainab Mazari the accused claimed that the state runs torture cells and that dehumanisation, alienation and uncalled for crackdown/violence are the state-standard response to the peaceful Baloch voice”

    They have been convicted  under sections 9 (glorification of an offence), 10 (cyberterrorism), 26-A (false and fake information) of the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (Peca).

    the judge said they were appearing on video link in another case.. they had been arrested Friday and remanded in Adiala jail...Before the judgement they boycotted the proceedings  and said that they were not being given food or water... the judge than reserved the judgement

    while Imaan Mazari is the main convicted ...her husband seems tobe an innocent unknowingly led astray... and should not have been given such a severe sentence just for retweeting her tweets..even in court she belittled the court and its judges, and even the ISPR chief suggesting the judgements were coming from the army..she also said the ISPR chief had called her a traitor and should not have done so as he is 'govt ka admi/state servant"..The case had been filed by the NCIIA in August 2025 by  Sub-inspector Sharooz Riaz whose complaint was that Imaan “consistently disseminated highly offensive, misleading and anti-state contents on social media”, with the “active connivance” of Hadi.


    Jan24-2026--Auto sales jump 76% as interest rates decline to 11% from 24%...In 2020 184000 vehicles were sold

    Jan24-2026--Punjab schools to have 175 holidays and 190 working days says a committee on LHC orders 

    Jan24-2026--Government passes domestic Violence bill in parliament which has some strange clauses(just heard it on Tv)...you cannot use abusive language(gali galoch) against wives and children and keep your wife with others...!

    Jan24-2026--US armada headed to middle east...Trump hopes he does not have to use it as iran threatens executions and a nuclear revival...Iran threatens regional US allies with all out war...Iran says it is more prepared and may have procured more anti aircraft and mobile systems...previously its missiles were in underground silos most of which were used up..earlier it had silkworm anti ship missiles 

    Jan24-2026--Interior minister on tour of Somalia which is strange..recently the president also started overseas visits...

    Jan24--2026--five killed in suicide blast at peace committee members house where a marriage was taking place in DI Khan...there seems tobe a ongoing war between tribal peace committees and tribal militants

    Jan24-2026--snow blankets northern areas with 9 dead...KKH blocked...9 of the same family killed in chitral after a house collapse during an avalanche..one nine year old survived...15 inches of snow in Murree...quetta has lowest temperature of -13C..snow in GB, AJK, Chitral, Khyber and Quetta...snowfall in Chitral for 36 hours

    Jan23-2026--lawyer husband wife Imaan mazari and Hadi chatha arrested by islamabad police for a case in early 2022 tweets and another case of  a scuffle outside the high court involving a bar official..court treating them lightly as they try to portray themselves as agrieved...Imaan mazari was involved with the pashteen group protests in islamabad  which was later banned and later with a baluch group

    Jan23-2026--Islamabad police seek army/SSG officials to train newly formed SWAT team

    Jan24-2026--five killed in suicide blast at peace committee meeting in DI Khan

    Jan24-2026--snow blankets northern part of country with 9 dead..KKH and other roads blocked...more snow and rain expected.. 

    Jan23-2026--19 countries have signed the BOP charter... It is unclear whether the UK and France have joined while Russia is studying the invite...permanent members have to pay 1 billion dollars giving it a UN security council type look...of the nineteen more than ten are muslim countries

    Jan22-2026--a court case shows the problems that the government has with the usually aggressive Imran X account run by unnamed people... Imran has little to-do with it as he is not allowed internet access...however PTA says X has refused to suspend the account several times…the judge says he can hardly do anything as the lawyer whether an official attorney or not has no input from Imran...The PTI is trying to get imrans cases restarted which got them some contact with Imran..The court however whatever it does is not going to be able to force X to follow its orders unless the government stops activities in Pakistan by Tesla like Starlink...The government could be stopping jail meetings and slowing down court cases to just stop the X- account...!

    Jan22-2026--with exports failing to show growth in the last two months and stalled for many years, Shabaz Sharif might be trying to believe in false impossibilities as he looks to exports for growth...human resource exports are the only possibility while no other new avenues look promising...textiles, rice, sports goods, kinnoos, carrots, some oil, IT and other small bits and pieces are not going to get to 60 billion dollars in three years...The government possibilities include copper and gold and some stones/petroleum finds but there is no progress on those fronts

    Jan22-2026--Pakistan could possibly boycott 2026 World T20 cricket championship in sympathy with the ousted Bangladesh...with the good form of India, New Zealand, Australia, England...and having been recently thrashed by Sri Lanka they stand no chance anyway...!

    Jan21-2026--Shabaz Sharif joins Board of peace for his (personal) strategic pragmatic reasons...Pakistan aims to help Gaza and stop genocide in Gaza where, 60000 people have been killed by Israel... Canada too has joined but refused to cough up 1 billion dollars and Trump kicked them out...PTI's shiite pro iranian leader calls it incorrect and indefensible...a possible allocation of troops could have them fighting the Israelis and Hamas…without arms Hamas would be a paper tiger and at best a non-aggressive policing system...seven Muslim countries have also joined…most from the US group...while one sees no major achievement for Palestine... Shabaz Sharif at best a weak dubious leader would not have a major role anyway, and he just wants to be around things and Trump... The UN's inability to even deal with or talk about Ukraine, Gaza, Venezuela, Sudan, Iran, Yemen, Lebanon, Congo, Rwanda etc. gives the board some credibility… The UN works better in other fields than stopping war, handling tensions between countries, internal/external wars of destabilization and occupation of other countries...however, what BOP do in Gaza and to Palestine will show whether separate boards for separate world problems are any help… Trump will only be around for a few years, and everyone knows that ex USA presidents are almost nobodies... Pakistan could be sucked in to the Israeli - USA nexus of politicking and aggressive wars and become a hanger on as Trump dictates things...he wanted a riviera in place of Gaza initially with the Palestinians ignominiously ignored and hidden in alleyways and other countries like Somalia... However, Shabaz likes being on the world stage, shown by his constant foreign trips...an aftermath of their military engagement with India and border troubles with Afghanistan...however he could emerge as a Muslim leader to standup for Muslim rights and problems… The US and Israel just like to bomb and exterminate any problems as do other European countries when dealing with any opposition or militancy(usually of some shade of Islamism)

    Jan21-2026--upto or around sixty bodies and body parts have been pulled out of the GUL Plaza fire building say police with 30 bodies just from one shop called Dubai crockery...death toll at 71

    Jan21-2026--Trump says he is attempting to replace the UN with the "Boar of Peace"…he is dubious in his intentions as he supported the Israeli war too... The UN failure to address things is due squarely to the major powers supporting their favored sides even if they were evil warmongers...the US was always supporting/blocking for Israel in the UN too... However, it is possible there could be a divisive US and some of its supporters - 'board of peace' and a Europe/Asia/Africa run UN...

    Jan21-2026--Hockey cannot improve with the methods advocated by stalwarts...scrutiny of clubs and financial accountability...hockey is a different game today…the four quarters require speed and stamina...our featherweight hockey players are just not strong enough...they must be able to maintain a fast running speed in all quarters otherwise they will be knocked out by china, Japan and Malaysia...

    Jan21-2026--PTI again insisted on protesting/troublemaking/politicking when visits to imran were denied...apparently they resorted to Quran khwani (not done on the street normally)... Aleema khan apparently has never read the Quran and did not do so at the protest...the protest moved to Rawalpindi where the police dispersed the small crowd...apparently the meetings are being denied because of politicking at the jail which is not allowed...most probably the authorities don't want further problems on feb8 because of Imran's possibly nasty troublemaking orders... Police as the PTI might be aware can handle much larger gatherings if they prefer troublemaking...

    Jans20-2026--Nepra says that grid issues causing high electricity prices and load shedding...before Nepra always cited fuel...says some of the transmission lines and transformers are overloaded in various grids...in winter obviously transformers are not the problem, and they say the weather is...replacing the bigger transformers or adding something and reducing load on transmission lines is their job -- NGC...bigger transformers have to be ordered from abroad and some transformers can be shifted around in various grids…Nepra is saying it cannot order cheaper 1700MW from the south because the north Lahore 500KV grid infrastructure is incomplete…obviously parallel 500KV and 220KV lines might also be needed...it says at times electricity from 1300MW Sahiwal coal-fired plants (pollution causing) and 2000MW from Karachi's nuclear plants cannot be used... Replacing SCADA should be easy enough, although there are not many alternatives as it is basically a unique software, or you can look for updates… It looks like a political problem as there is resistance to applying innovative or new methods and replacing technically bad power generation systems...

    Jan19-2026-- another bridge blown up in north Waziristan.

    Jan19-2026--It seems that the kinnoo and potato can not reach their markets as exporters say sending through Iran would take 25 days for them to reach markets in Central Asia and Russia…ship and air transportation seem the only way...PAF could provide their C-130's...the other method is to keep them in cold storage and harvest as late as possible...the government could buy the products and sell them to the people at lower rates...there seems a very low production of cotton but rice exports have reached number three in the world...seemingly sugar cane might be replacing cotton in the fields...however massive floods may have caused some of the problems…however Indian water blockade might affect things next year too...

    Jan19-2026--TheTTAP again thinks that inane propaganda against elections, amendments and incarcerations/court cases will get them somewhere...according to the election act the only remedy is to file petitions in election tribunals...PTI has been unable to present much of case and the TTAP is similar...The PTI leaders and Imran were involved in May9 and other malpractices... The PTI has had similar bad strange views about the last three elections

    Jan19-2026--The Gul plaza fire smoulders on as death toll rises to 29 with 35-fifty still missing after almost two days...with enough machinery available the fire has was put out very slowly...it points to some weaknesses in experience even though fires are frequent in Karachi...it also points to the inherent weakness in high rises and enclosed plazas...they should have tried to evacuate people from the top floors...deep digging is being avoided until the building cools down...some body parts are separate and cause a need for DNA testing...

    Jan18-2026--fire that erupted at Gul Plaza in Karachi still ongoing after more than a day...6 dead... 

    Jan18-2026--nobody stops anyone from speaking their language or wearing their hats...so Mr Achakzai is talking "aeen baeen shain"...they only protest when people talk Punjabi too them...the country is not only for politicians and one has to consider the armed forces, police and judiciary as pillars too...you cannot rule by sitting in assemblies and not recognizing elections, security, law and order and realities…nobody can do without the police and army and the ECP...people even in jail have to follow rules...one doubts that people who run away with state money and gifts and mount propaganda campaigns against the country/army can be considered leaders... The PTI cannot win a election alone...at the moment the only other possibility is a PTI-PPP coalition...!nobody can guarantee that the next election will be respected even if it is conducted by a national government...do the pukhtuns realize what they have done to his country and are they willing to rectify their excesses which are even now ongoing...in a federation we get only pukhtun opposition leaders…who some say lack proper sense

    Jan18-2026--Speaker NA says no anti-judiciary, anti-armed forces and anti judges remarks will be allowed in national Assembly

    Jan17-2026--25 people killed in two traffic accidents in Kot Momin and Ormara

    Jan17-2026--Rana Sana says despite their efforts the PTI did not want talks, and they are going ahead with preparations for Feb8 which would be handled administratively 

    Jan17-2026--karachi port fire destroys goods in 20 containers 

    Jan16-2026--The problems in Yemen, both in the Saudi run south and Houthi (Shiite)-Iran run north, continue... Yemen has been united as well as separate in the past...


    Jan16-2026--15 terrorists gunned down in KP in various operations in Bannu, Kurram and DI Khan

    How it all started...coups and politics and islam and democracy...
    how bhuttos and imrans uncle(a general) + profesor ghafoor(JI) got into politics ---the ayub coup was a gath jor between sindhis and pukhtuns to topple the majority provinces of Punjab and Bengal in 1958...

    debacle in Dacca

    debacle in Dacca
    another imran uncle---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...!
