Blank Box on The Ballot Paper

Ballot-paper

Election Commission of Pakistan has announced that there will be a blank box without any candidate’s name or election sign. The voter will have the option if he thinks none of the candidate is suitable for the job he can stamp on the blank box.

That is a good move. Election Commission also said if fifty percent of the people who voted in that constituency stamped on blank box then the election will be considered void. That is also a good move.

There is a need to extrapolate this practice at the national or political party level.

This election is not going to change much but Dr. Tahirul Qadri has created some awareness among the voters about the corrupt politicians and political system in Pakistan. Our political leaders particularly Nawaz Sharif ridiculed him.

Badam Zari of FATA

Posted on: March 31, 2013 4:46 pm Written by: Leave a Comment print for hard copyEmail This Post


Badam-Zari-of-FATA

Badam Zari is a house wife in a remote area Arang of FATA. She has submitted her nomination papers for standing in the elections for national parliament. We salute Badam Zari for her courage to come out and fight for the people of FATA. That is the type of people we need to come out. Obviously, she will face a lot of hurdles but this is the responsibility of our media and political leadership to give her full support. We particularly expect Imran Khan (PTI) to at least give her full moral support and help her to get elected. She is the real person for real cause. Our media goes for hype like they created hype for Malala.

What Malala has done for the country or for the people of her area other than getting a couple of gun shots from Taliban. There are thousands of people who were killed by Taliban nobody talked about that. Unfortunately, our TV Channels are more interested in making money by doing anything which increases their viewership.
Badam Zari is the woman who needs our support.

Next parliament must gave the FATA a separate provincial status so that they have their own assembly to solve their own problem.

Stop ruling them. Let them rule themselves. That is the only way forward for the progress of these remote and unfortunately backward areas.

Nomination Papers Submittal Date Extended

Posted on: March 31, 2013 12:38 pm Written by: Leave a Comment print for hard copyEmail This Post


Nomination Papers Submittal Date Extended

Today March 31, 2013 is the last date to submit the nomination papers for 2013 elections. This date was extended for two days from the previous date. General impression is this was done to give the chance to prospective contenders to get the bills and dues cleared before submitting their nomination papers. This may be correct.

But the insiders say this was done to facilitate the political parties to give them more time to decide about their candidate to submit their papers from which constituency.

Would you call this is a fair practice? Absolutely NOT.

Do the political parties have any influence on the working of Election Commission? What does it show you.

Did any political party or anybody for that matter asked to assign more days for scrutinizing the eligibility of contenders except Dr. Tahirul Qadri. He went to Supreme Court also to get this thing implemented but Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudary, Chief Justice did not like his idea and through him out the Court.
Pakistan Zindabad. Aiy Qaud-e-Azam tera ahsaan hey ahsaan.

Breaking News – Najam Sethi Asked Nawaz Sharif for PMLN Ticket

Posted on: March 31, 2013 11:14 am Written by: Leave a Comment print for hard copyEmail This Post


Najam-Sethi-Asked-Nawaz-Sharif-for-PMLN-Ticket
Can Najam Sethi be a neutral care-taker Chief Minister of Punjab?
Do Najam Sethi supports PMNL’s Agenda?
This is a breaking news released by one his own professional colleague.

Shaheen Sehbai of Jang newspaper stated in a program ‘Sawal Yeh Hey’ at ARY News channel that Najam Sethi and his wife met Nawas Sharif three times to get PMLN ticket to stand in the upcoming elections. Nawaz Sharif did not think Najam Sethi is electable so he refused to give him the party ticket for election.

When Zardari learned about that he proposed Najam Sethi’s name as care taker chief minister. Now Nawaz Sharif was facing a dilemma. He knew Najam Sethi is pro PML-N but in his opinion Najam Sethi is not electable. So he accepted Najam Sethi’s name as care taker chief minister. Probably Zardari thought Najam Sethi may be pro PML-N but he is wise enough not favor him for future reputation. Zardari may have offered him some future position. We don’t know.
Another thing is very strange. Najam Sethi is more like a secular minded person how he went to Nawaz Sharif to get a PMlN ticket when PMLN is purely a rightest party. Nawaz Sharif has condemned suicide bombs attacks but he never condemned Taliban even they have accepted the responsibility.

The question is, does Najam Sethi supports now Nawaz Sharif’s rightest agenda. Only Najam Sethi can answer this question. Irfan Siddiqui another columnist who writes a column in Jang newspaper he has mentioned in his column, his son who is a banker in Dubai stated his observation that Najam Sethi has shown more balanced or neutral view point towards political parties in his TV program.
Was there something cooking behind the scene which we did not know? For sure.

Or did Zardari sent Najam Sethi to Nawaz Sharif to ask for PMLN ticket. We don’t know but may be.
What do you think. Speak up your mind and write your comments please.

Who Funded The Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudary’s Reinstatement Campaign?

Posted on: January 20, 2013 4:50 am Written by: Leave a Comment print for hard copyEmail This Post


Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudary's Reinstatement Campaign
On TV talk shows Khawaja Asif and Saad Rafiq both of PML-N  were asking questions who funded the big gatherings of Dr. Tahirul Qadri and Imran Khan. What they were implying was this is funded by establishment. Indirectly, they were accusing Pakistan Army. Well, that is fine. They will get the answer by those respective parties. But we have another question.

Who funded the big jalsas chaired by Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudary and where Ali Ahmed Kurd used to shack is head with long hairs and Hamid Khan presently of PTI used to say they will tear the uniforms for generals?

That would definitely be of interest to people of Pakistan to know about that.

Was it Pakistan Army?
Was it Pakistan Peoples Party?
Was it Pakistan Muslim League (Qaaf)
Was it MQM?
Was it Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz), or
Nawaz Sharif, Shahbaz Sharif & Company?

After reinstatement:

Who got the benefit of that?
Who used to say solution of all the problems of Pakistan is to reinstate Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudary as Chief Justice of Pakistan.?
Which problem(s) have been solved by reinstatement of Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudary?

Do you know the answer? Please let the other people also know about that.

US$ 60 Million Money Laundering Case against Asif Ali Zardari in Swiss Court

Posted on: November 8, 2012 2:28 pm Written by: Leave a Comment print for hard copyEmail This Post


Money Laundering Case

Letter to Swiss Authorities Has Been Sent to Bern. Will This Letter Re-Open the Case?

The Answer is No.

The letter which was supposed to be sent to Swiss Court according to Pakistan’s Supreme Court’s instructions has been reached to Pakistan Embassy in Bern and most probably will be delivered on Thursday to Swiss Authorities.

Is there anything going to change?

No.

This is just paper compliance to Supreme Court’s instruction.  PPP released very late after sacrificing one prime minister, Yousaf Raza Gillani that the letter will not re-open the case so there is no harm in writing and sending the letter.

The lawyers familiar with the Swiss Court system including the attorney who was representing the government of Pakistan in this case earlier said until the  case is ‘actively pursued’ in a Pakistani court, Swiss Authorities will not take any action to reopen the case. Then the question is why this boo ha ha. Simply because PPP’s legal team did not know or familiar with the Swiss legal system.  Many Pakistani attorneys mentioned this fact on different TV discussions. PPP’s whole thrust was on the point that president has immunity against any case in the courts inside or outside of the country. But Aitzaz Hassan was not willing to contest this point in the Supreme Court. The result is evident now. But it seems he was afraid Zardari’s election to president may be challenged because there is a money laundering case against him. This was the responsibility of Nawaz Sharif to take up this point but he is neither able nor capable to do that.

That raised the belief that PPP and PMLN have agreed in principle that they will not go against each other. Essentially that was the essence of so called ‘Declaration of Democracy’ commonly known as ‘Misake Jumhooriate’ between Benazir Bhutto of PPP and Nawaz Sharif of PMLN.

Nawaz Sharif Sympathizes with Americans of Pakistani Origin

Posted on: October 31, 2012 2:01 pm Written by: Leave a Comment print for hard copyEmail This Post

Nawaz-Sharif-Sympathizes-with-Americans-of-Pakistani-Origin

After watching the news of devastation caused by the super storm Sandy in the USA, Nawaz Sharif head of PLMN told to Americans of Pakistani origin that they should not consider themselves alone at this time of stress. PMLN is with them. He advised them to contact Pakistan Embassy in Washington, DC.

Do the Americans of Pakistani origins need any sympathy or help from Nawaz Sharif or from Pakistan Embassy? Do they care of Nawaz Sharif’s message?

The leader who did not bother to go to Sindh and other parts of the country to offer any form of material help to people there when they were badly affected by torrential rains and flood what he can do for the people living ten thousand miles away in the US. And what Pakistan Embassy is going to do for the families back home in Pakistan when there is no electricity and phones and Internet is not working.

Our leaders are always looking for an opportunity to play politics. American government is there to take care of all the Americans and not only Americans of Pakistani origin.
If Nawaz Sharif really have something to say send a letter of condolence to the families who have lost their lives and show some concern with the government of the United States of America. But do they care of Nawaz Sharif’s message?
