Sep03-2009--In what some say is saudi interference...while others say are saudi attempts to keep teh peace more in the terrorism related field than any other...when musharaf left after being theoretically kicked out it was said that he could participate in politics after two years but now that seems impossible and he wants to avoid teh judicial attacks on his military rule which could suppress him for years if not the rest of his life...others say that the recent terror attacks in pakistan, saudia and afghanistan might have caused teh saudis to realize that musharaf might be behind them..the new taleban chief has started another round of terror attacks and many suggest that musharaf might still be in control of the network in india...many suggest that teh saudis who study pakistans governance may not like teh PPP style of literally creating problems for teh people day in and day out and might be looking for a knight in shining armour as a stop gap measure if they can foment a coup...?others suggest that teh saudis also might have a soft corner for teh taleban who have been clobbered by the PPP regime...Sep03-2009--LHC suspends its order lifting curbs on AQ Khan as teh government is swayed again by meaningless american concerns..Sep03-2009--Nawaz Sharif backs out of confrontation again and suggests that the PPP scrap teh 17th amendment as a first step...he says if teh saudis have any concerns about musharaf he will hear about them when he goes for umrah otherwise advising against saudi interference..Sep03-2009--In islamabad two motorcycle terrorists struck by firing at the religious ministers car killing his driver and injuring two others as he left office...religious minister quite brave as he has no security and even teh office is in an open place...the office is quite near the ISI office and a kalashnikov was recovered from outside teh ISI office...as well as two from the place of teh incidentSep03-2009--16 militants killed in Bara operationSep03-2009--Yasin malik says that gilgit and baltistan were part of azad kashmir under teh constitutionSep03-2009--Nawaz Sharif says that problems cannot be solved by changing governments...in teh present instance that seems true as the PPP is unable to solve any issue..many suggest that the PMLn should at least raise and discuss with teh government peoples concerns since constitutional changes seem difficult for teh docile dual natured PPP...Sep03-2009--two militants killed in swat...Sep03-2009--the JI wants talkative former intelligence officers apprehended...especially those that were behind teh jinnahpur mqm consiracy...(the mqm many say was formed by the interior ministry in zia's times (as was the afghan taleban) to subdue the PPP which it did adequately until benazir reconciled with an ill altaf...)they also say that teh US bought 18 acres of land in teh diplomatic enclave for just one billion for a marine house..pakistan they say should avoid american contract security firms like Blackwater...Sep03-2009--PPP minister in sindh accused of selling jobs while teh primeminister many say wants 15 million from his wife to have her loans written off...
Aug26-2009--The taleban finally agreed that Baitullah was dead and appointed the orakzai chief hakimullah who led three tribal regions--(khyber and kurram as well...)as teh next taleban chief..hakimullah has led a fierce anti US campaign in the orakzai, torkham and peshawar areas creating problems along the nato routes, alongwith several high level kidnappings...teh army has been reluctant to go in strongly in only two areas ie orakzai and south waziristan...hakeemullah 28, being a junior was facing opposition from both seniors as well as waliurrehman but that opposition has apparently been settled as waliurehman has been given control of south waziristan...the new strategy of the taleban is yet to be seen whether pakistan gets ravaged alongwith teh US occupied afghanistan or the taleban start concentrating more on afghanistan...The taleban strategy which started after the lal masjid seige saw major suicide attacks inside pakistan turning the whole north west of pakistan into a sensitive troubled area causing a major army offensive in the FATA and PATA areas of nwfp...The army which has had a long relationship with the tribal areas and the taleban had to finally take off its gloves and combined with US drone attacks has brought some sanity back to the region...Aug26-2009--Sindh which can be said to be pakistans most developed province in terms of,oil and gas deposits, jobs, education, health services and industrialisation is teh biggest complainer of the NFC award...even the two smaller provinces donot complain as much as do teh sindhis...they now want the NFC award to be based on revenue collection(which contains even basic taxation of other provinces in teh context of large corporations and countrywide organisations),backwardness, geographical factors,area and population...many say that all taxation forms should be included including those already allocated seperately to provinces in the divisible pool...things like sales taxes, royalty, oil and gas surcharges which are supposedly paid for by teh common man should not be tabulated seperately as sindh wants all solutions that should benefit it rather than every province...according to a general understanding population is the only criterion in teh constitution but several varying parameters are already enjoyed by provinces like sindh which is already getting much more than its population share...punjab has suggested that sindhs share be reduced to less than thirty per cent and nwfp and balochistan be compensated on an individual basis until their basic needs are fulfilled...Aug26-2009--construction company employing pakistani engineers bombed in kandahar killing over 40...

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--Altaf Hussein who has forgotten conveniently teh situation that they had brought karachi to what with ethnic seperatism,murders, robberies, bhatta,torture cells, nogo areas etc.. even if we forget their aims of seperating karachi from sindh and turning it into a hongkong...aims of secession were widely known and control of foreign interests was also known...how such a history of violence can be wiped out when altaf hussein supported the lal masjid and tribal areas devastation...it is quite contradictory...obviously the military had to act as altaf husseins men had already started attacking teh military and police which continues into teh present day politics of karachi...while General Asif Nawaz clearly sought verbal approval from Nawaz Sharif...it is rumoured that he queried nawaz sharif in punjabi..."keh peh jawan ne"(should i attack them)... teh situation in karachi at that time was even more serious than that in teh tribal territories...As politicians have realized after the bloody tribal war it is the army that has the resources to deal with open secessionistic activities, ethnic, political or religious warfare...The countries politics is such that nobody will accept ethnically outside political interests not in karachi and not anywhere else..an organization that shies away from renaming itself properly and using notions of its earlier ethnic hatred oriented politics inits name which was clearly geared against pakistan...feudalism does not exist in karachi and altaf husseins domination over teh mqm is also feudalistic as is the nature of its present allies..The ISI and the MI are designed to fight such politics otherwise pakistan would be in tatters in no time...as are other forces of terror which politicians are now well aware off... 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...
