Aug25-2009--The government seems to be more interested in taxation for teh sake of taxation as is demonstrated in teh sugar case...while it is an essential food item which are generally exempted from taxation teh government makes Rs12 billion from it annually...reduction in taxation is referred to as a loss to the government which is obviously incorrect as the opposite would be taxation is a loss to teh consumers or people...the government which has been earning from sugar sales and imports should end its massive involvement and should only involve itself with the sale price...according to dawn millers are still earning Rs13-14 per kilogram and teh provincial and federal governments are also earning profits...teh government should end sales taxes on sugar as well as teh profits that it earns...benefiting the people is the last thing on the mind of the federal government which is bent upon benefiting each every stakeholder barring teh ordinary public...

Aug25-2009--undercurrents of disapproval for the anti people yusuf raza gilani in the PMLn being aired by the press...not many approve of yusuf raza gilanis primeministership..he is seen as less than perfect in the copycat role of military governance left behind by musharaf...with no personal popularity he is seen by many as attempting to copy the attitudes of previous primeministers as zardari prempts him in politics, foreign affairs, appointments and financial fields...he is left to deal with minor political matters and attempts at showing that he has some decision making role... Aug25-2009--PMLn says it did not approve of teh actions of the military in karachi...in 1992...while karachis law and order had deteriorated to such an extent that rangers, police and army all together were finding it hard to handle the situation...the corp commanders were in charge as they remained until altaf hussein fled and teh situation only eased after massive police raids and operations...
