From The News:

A coded message said, “A particular contractor has recovered 120 ‘maal’ from the Lahore High Court and shifted to Kot Lakhpat godown.” Another message said, “How much maal the Ghazi contractor has so far recovered from a particular spot and shifted to the godown.”

Insiders said the code ‘contractors’ was being used for police officers, who were involved in the operation. The code ‘maal’ (goods) is used for demonstrators, who are being arrested by the ‘contractors.’ ‘Godown’ refers to a prison where the ‘maal’ recovered from a particular area is shifted.

Remind me the days when both MQM and Army in mid 90s used some interesting codes for each others. Names like Farooq Dada(for Farooq Patni),Nadeem Commando,Arshad K-2 were common in use in Media and among officials for MQM goons of that time.

Musharraf imposes Martial law Emergency. I don’t want to say what Musharraf tried to say to justify this act by blaming Chief Justice Judiciary. All I know that billions of Pakistanis like you’re seeing above have been slapped badly. 16 corore Pakistanis have been offended by a Single Person. I repeat by a SINGLE PERSON.

When I read things like following, it makes me belief that no matter how much a Foji takes education, he always gets failed to getrid of dictatorship mentality. Following incident take place with Prof. Khwaja Masood, the former teacher of Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz. From Jang:

بریگیڈیئر طارق اسلام آباد( عمر چیمہ ) وزیراعظم شوکت عزیز کے ٹیچر پروفیسر خواجہ مسعود کو ایک ریٹائرڈ بریگیڈئیر کے ہاتھوں سخت بے عزتی کا سامنا کرنا پڑا اور انہوں نے معروف ماہر تعلیم پر سولو فوجی بیورو کریسی اور سیاستدانوں کے منافقانہ طرز عمل کی نشاندہی کرنے پر مغلظات کی بوچھاڑ ‘کر دی وفاقی وزیربرائے پارلیمانی امور ڈاکٹر شیر ا فگن نے اسکا آغاز کرتے ہوئے سیاستدانوں کو منافق قرار دینے پر سبق سکھانے کیلئے قابل احترام پروفیسر کو تختہ مشق بنایا اور اس کے بعد ایک نام نہاد ادبی شخصیت بریگیڈئیر (ر) خواجہ طارق محمود نے اس نامور دانشور کو اپنامنہ بند رکھنے کا کہتے ہوئے احمق قرار دیا اور کمرے سے نکل جانے کو کہا ۔اگرچہ وفاقی وزیر میجر(ر) طاہر اقبال بھی وہاں پر موجود تھے لیکن انہو ں نے خاموش تماشائی کا کردارادا کیا اور دونوں کو70سالہ پروفیسر خواجہ مسعودسے بدلہ چکانے دیا

Jang further reveals:

بریگیڈئیر (ر) خواجہ طارق محمود نے اپنے قریبی رشتہ دار پروفیسر خواجہ مسعود کو جمعے کی شب ایک بھرے اجتماع میں اپنی عز ت افزائی کیلئے بلایاپروفیسر مسعود معروف شاعر جوش ملیح آبادی کی شاعری کے انگریزی ترجمے سے متعلق کتاب کی افتتاحی تقریب میں مہمان مقرر تھے لیکن وہاں ایک ادبی شخصیت کے ساتھ جو کچھ بھی ہوا پروفیسر خواجہ مسعود نے بریگیڈئیر (ر) خواجہ طارق کی طرح کے مداحوں پر تنقید اور تنقیص کے ذریعے جوش کی یاد ضرور تازہ کردی بریگیڈئیر (ر) خواجہ طارق محمود نے صنف ادب میں داخل ہونے کیلئے انگریزی تراجم کاسہارا لیا ۔تاہم ان کااصل چہرہ اکثر لوگوں کے سامنے بے نقاب ہو گیا جنہوں نے ایک اور شخص کو وصی ظفر کی طرح کانپتے ہوئے دیکھا جیسے ہی پروفیسر خواجہ مسعودنے شاعری پر اپنی تقریر کا آغاز کیا تو انہوں نے موجودہ حالات اور ان کی شاعری میں موازنہ کرنے کی کوشش کی انہوں نے کہا کہ جوش انقلابی خیالات کے شاعر تھے انہوں نے پاکستان میں موجودہ حالات پر کڑی تنقید کی انہوں نے کہا کہ پاکستان میں بھی انقلاب آسکتا ہے اگر سیاستدان اور فوجی وسول بیورو کریسی منافقت چھوڑدیں ۔ بریگیڈئیر(ر) خواجہ طارق کے بارے میں گفتگو کرتے ہوئے انہوں نے کہا کہ انہو ں نے انہیں فوج میں شامل نہ ہونے کا مشورہ دیا تھا کیونکہ یہ ان سے میل نہیں کھاتی لیکن انہوں نے فوج میں شمولیت اختیار کی۔ ان کے ریمارکس سے ڈاکٹر شیر افگن اور بریگیڈئیر (ر) طارق دونوں غصے میںآ گئے ، افگن جو کہ ایک بدزبان شخص کے طور پر جانے جاتے ہیں نے آغاز کیا اور قابل احترام پروفیسر کو اظہار خیال سے محروم کرنے کی کوشش کی ۔وہ سیاستدانوں کو منافق قرار دینے پر مشتعل تھے اور انہوں نے اس پر چلانا شروع کردیا ۔ چکوال کے رہائشی بریگیڈئیر (ر) خواجہ طارق نے بھی اس لفظی جنگ میں ان کی پیروی کی ”او بے وقوف ، اس ہال سے باہر چلے جاؤ“انہوں نے خواجہ مسعود سے جب یہ کہا تو وہ سناٹے میںآ گئے بعدازاں بریگیڈئیر (ر) طارق نے سامعین جن میں ریٹائرڈ جرنیل بھی شامل تھے سے خطاب میں کہا کہ اس احمق کو دیکھو یہ ہمیں اپنا فلسفہ پڑھانے کی کوشش کررہا ہے ۔ ہم نے اسے ایک لکھاری کی حیثیت سے بلایا اور یہ ایک مبلغ بننے کی کوشش کررہا ہے ۔ بدقسمتی یہیں پر نہیں ختم ہوتی سامعین جن میں اکثر فوجی پس منظر کے لوگ شامل تھے خاموش رہے اور کوئی بھی معروف کالم نگار اور معمر شخص کی اس شدید بے عزتی پر صدائے احتجاج بلند کرنے کیلئے کھڑا نہ ہوا ۔ سول سوسائٹی کی ایک کارکن ثمر من اللہ جو وہاں کتاب خریدنے گئی تھیں یہ برداشت نہ کرسکیں اور اٹھ کر کھڑی ہوئیں ۔ ایکسکیوزمی ، بس کریں یہ حد سے زیادہ ہے وہ چلائیں ، ثمر نے سامعین کا سویا ہوا ضمیر جگانے کی بھی کوشش کی اور کہا کہ سوسائٹی کے اس افسوسناک اور لاچار رویے کی وجہ سے پاکستان مسلسل زوال کا شکار ہے اگرچہ خواجہ مسعود اپنی زندگی کے بدترین لمحات کا شکار تھے لیکن انہوں نے اس وقت بھی وقار کا مظاہرہ کیا اور کہا میں ایک درویش منش ہوں جو کچھ میں نے کہا وہ بھلائی کیلئے تھا اسکا مقصد کسی کا دل دکھانا یا کسی کو نشانہ بنانا نہیں تھا اگر کسی کا دل دکھایا ہو تو میں معذرت خواہ ہوں یہ کہہ کر وہ چلے گئے ‘ ثمر من اللہ نے کہا کہ میرا دل اب بھی غمزدہ ہے ، میں اپنی9سالہ بیٹی کے ساتھ کتاب خریدنے گئی تھی لیکن اس کے بغیر ہی واپس آگئی ۔مترجم اس قابل نہیں کہ اسے پڑھا جائے۔ انہوں نے دی نیوز کو کہا کہ اگر ایک دانشور جو کہ وزیراعظم کاٹیچر بھی ہے کو معاشرے میں عزت کا یہ مقام دیا جاتا ہے تو دوسروں کیساتھ کیا رویہ ہوتا ہوگا ۔ ایک اور ادبی شخصیت سرمد صہبائی جو اس افسوسناک واقعے کے وقت وہاں موجود تھے نے کہا کہ ڈاکٹر افگن نے ہتک آمیز انداز میں مداخلت کرکے پروفیسر مسعود کواظہار خیال کے حق سے محروم کرنے کی کوشش کی صہبائی نے دی نیوز کو کہا کہ وہ میزبان سے یا اپنی تقریر میں اعتراضات ریکارڈ کراسکتے تھے لیکن افگن اس شرمناک حرکت پر بھی نادم نظر نہیںآ ئے ۔ وہ پروفیسر کی بے عزتی کا بڑا ذمہ دار بریگیڈئیر (ر) طارق محمود کو ٹھہراتے ہیں جب دی نیوز نے اپنا موٴقف بیان کرنے کیلئے ان سے رابطہ کیا تو انہوں نے کہا کہ میں نے سیاستدانوں کو منافق قرار دینے پر اعتراض کیا تھا یہ سیاستدانوں کو بدنام کرنے کیلئے چلائی جانے وا لیے مہم کا حصہ ہے انہو ں نے کہا کہ بریگیڈئیر(ر) طارق نے ہنگامہ کھڑا کیا جب ان سے پوچھا گیا کہ بریگیڈئیر (ر) طارق نے انہیں مدعو کیا تھا تو افگن نے کہا کہ وہ انہیں نہیں جانتے اور وہ چکوال کے ایک صحافی خواجہ بابر کی درخواست پر وہاں گئے تھے ۔،وفاقی وزیر شیرافگن بھی مشتعل ہوگئے

I try to summarize in English. A brig Tariq Mahmood translated the work of Famous Urdu poet Josh Maleeh Abadi. He invited his relative who is a wel known scholar and teacher of PM Shaukar Aziz. Prof. Masood criticized society by saying that Pakistan could also have a revolution if Army, politicians and bureaucrat quit hypocrisy. As you know that a dictator never listens anyone else, Brig Mahmood started abusing Prof.Masood by saying, O Silly man! get out of here. That lamer was invited as a writer and trying to be a preacher and showing off his philosphy.

Obviously it made Prof.Masood stunt and he had nothing to say against this demonstration of bad manners. Ironically no one had courage to say anything against the Foji.

Guys, when I read this, I was simply shocked! Where are we heading to? what’s wrong was said by the teacher? was He wrong? Ain’t we not hypocrite? Why to come out and teach lesson of tolerance when we don’t have one? I believe we all have become part of a society where all rules,regulations and laws are set and expected to be followed by those whom we disagree or despise.

Unfortunately Pakistan is going to be a big ‘Army Mess’ where Pakistanis are being turned to Foji who have zero tolerance and follow religion of dictatorship and guys I am not an outsider. I am also being forced to become part of it . Maybe many of us don’t know about it that we’re turning to a beast who couldn’t cope with things properly. Why? I have no idea at all. Are people protesting or standing up against it? I don’t know. am I saying anything against it? Prolly yes and these days I am being cursed because I want to stand up against such dictatorship and hypocrisy, a Civil Dicatorship and hypocrisy which is spreading like wildfire among our youth. The youth which is getting ready to feed next generation of Pakistan. Forget about Pakistan itself, first they gotta deal with their own kids.

Zainab referred an article of Dr.Najam and asked something like that. I replied Zainab that intentionally or unintentionally we are becoming a nation where we want others to follow which we wish, will never do any attempt to apply same on ourselves. Why are we being make something like that? I do have an aswer but lengthy enough which requires a seperate post or a series of post. The horrible thing is that we are becoming part of it, slowly and gradually and we don’t even have idea. We Pakistanis are at war and we don’t even know about it. Probably our enemy is unseen who is playing with our minds and defeating us. This physcolical war is leading us to no where and so far we have came out as a loser nation.

Remember Musharraf’s famous Women Protection bill which was proposed to fool our elite and liberal class and making them to believe that all women’s issues have been sorted out by their messiah Mr.Musharraf who helped him to getrid of cruel Hudood Ordinance ?

But it’s also not a hidden secret how much our President cares about Women or Pakistani Women. Mr. Shaukat Aziz, the PM of Pakistan were always sweet and soft spoken with ladies and displayed his soft corner for women when he met Dr.Rice 2 years back.

I already shared in the beginning of this year what actually meant by “Women Rights” in Musharraf’s dictionary. That was just the beginning. Last month and then current month I came across two pieces of info which just strengthened my belief about Musharraf’s menality about diginity of Women.

First news is about a french scholar who was visiting Pakistan due to her research work and her stuff was stolen in Thatta. Later it was found that the lady was beaten like hell when she went to police station to inquire about her stolen material.

This was Jang news almost a month ago. What’s written there is beyong the exception. The male officials including SHO torutred the woman so much that she got fainted due to severe beating. Later officials locked the woman up in jail. I find no updates what happened to her and where’s she now.

The second news is actually two images about female supporters of PML(N) who were protesting on 12th October,2007 against Musharraf’s 1999’s military coup. This is something which I had see in papers, the practical implementation of Women Protection Bill.

 

Can you see guys? this is the freedom which our liberal women wants, this is what Musharraf wants. Don’t you see how much a group of women(policewomen) feel freedom to swing another woman because she was protesting against Musharraf? No No! trust me guys I am not being sarcastic at all. I am simply appreciating the freedom which is being demonstrated by these women.

Mr. President, these women are idiots, have no sense at all. They don’t know you have established women police cell with more power so that they have access to offend take care other women just like our policemen do. Don’t listen to them. After all you are actually a Saffak Maseeha of Faiz Ahmad Faiz.

Last year I shared a piece of info about the facilities enjoyed by a Pakistani Minister. Many people said that it’s fake and impossible but today I was shared a news by Khurram, who commented on my earlier post. According to today’s Dawn:

In a country where the public per capita health expenditure is measly Rs360, the government spent Rs65 million on overseas treatment of just 18 bigwigs mostly for diseases that could be treated within the country and that too at a fraction of the cost.

it further reveals:

some 18 politicians and bureaucrats benefited from the facility on the special approval of Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz, spending an amount that was enough to run a tertiary care hospital for a whole year and 13 times more than what the government was spending on prevention and control of non-communicable diseases (high blood pressure, diabetes, heart diseases and stroke), a major cause of mortality and disability in the country.

the story got started by Sher Afgan when he convinced the PM that his heart can’t be cured in Pakistan. Well, the ignorance often demonstrated by Afgan niazi can’t be treated anywhere on earth. Anyways, he got succeeded and managed to go abroad for treatment.

The interesting piece of statment was given by MQM’s Kunwar Khalid Younis:

MNA Kunwar Khalid Yunus, who got the highest allocation of Rs11 million for one-year treatment in United Kingdom, said he only utilised Rs4.5 million and remained under treatment for just three months and was continuing his medication at Agha Khan.

and when he was asked that why didn’t he think about poor Pakistanis first, what he replied is simply priceless.

Don’t you think that after being a parliamentarian for almost two decades I deserved this much privilege

Boht Aala Kunwar Sahab! Let me remind you that your Quaid-e-Tehrik Altaf Hussain always whined that MQM belongs to Middle class of Karachi and MQM understand the pain of middle class. I am seriously confused whether Pakistani middle class has made so much improvement that they could enjoy such luxury or MQM’s planning for such elite middle class future class or you’re just fooling us?

Our so called educated and enlightened liberals never get tired of praising West and their women by saynig they are Independant and more broadminded than ours but when I read news like following then I’m forced to believe that women in West are still living in ancient times when there was no concept of Education. According to BBC

Jurors in the US state of Missouri have convicted a woman who strangled an expectant mother and cut the baby from her womb with a kitchen knife in 2004.

How cruel!! I don’t know what to say.. just “West Zindabad!”

You could consider this post a sequel of my last post in which I tried to summarized different online news.

This morning I read following news in Dawn and despite of serious and tragic nature of the news, it made me to grin that how government officials are trying their best to make stories up to prove their point of about 10/18 incident. According to Dawn:

KARACHI, Oct 20: Police have found evidence suggesting that the suicide bomber who targeted the Pakistan People’s Party leadership on Thursday was not alone but was accompanied by four or five accomplices, while a second severed head has been found from the crime scene

How did they find out? well very easy(may be more difficult for them than Einstein to find out different time frame reference in Universe?). The equation is:

Number of Suicide Bombers is directly proportional to number of head founds at location. If suicide bomber is S and Head is H then you could have some equation like:

S=i x H

where i= Universal Constant for Ignorance

p.s: It’s not clear as yet how did they figure out that those guys were more than three while they have just found two heads? Projection? I don’t know that whethr our officials are good at Statistics as well?

ISLAMABAD: Senators and MNAs received a unique gift of 100 condoms each on the eve of Eidul Fitar from the Ministry of Population in a bid to encourage population control at the top level. “Yes, the condom packs have been distributed among the male parliamentarians. Each MP has been gifted a pack of condoms containing 100 condoms,” said an official of the ministry.

A PPP MP said:

I will take up the issue with the speaker and move a privilege motion if need be. We are all educated people and know the benefits of contraceptives, but this move is meant to humiliate the MPs

Source: The Daily Times

ehe Humiliate?

I think if such step would have taken around 60-70 years ago then we wouldn’t have experienced politicians like Altaf, Benazir,Musharraf,Sharifs etc.

Anyways, the news is hilarious! :-). Secularism stupidity at its best!

I must repeat that I never liked the existanc of Nasim Ashraf as a chairman of PCB and I had shared the reasons here and here. I have been reading for a month now about current cricket crisis in Pakistan specially after the birth of ICL(Indian Cricket League) ,managed by Zee network India. The league has attracted many famous players around the world including Pakistani players like Mohamamd Yousuf,Inzy,Imran Farhat,Azhar Mahmood and Razzaq. The league is rapidly becoming a threat for Cricket boards and both ICB and PCB are sending touch messages to ICL but Indian court ordered ICB not to take action against ICL players.

So far I was least bothered about this entire Saga untill I read today a news in Jang that PCB’s constitution papers got lost somewhere. I was like, What? According to Jang:

Can you believe it? Ashraf was doing Topi Drama about the constitution that A.G Office is delaying in the implementation of the PCB constitution while in reality they don’t have document of the constitution?? Do you think it’s is too much? No it’s not. Another Jang news:

Dawn reports that Senat’s standing comittie on sports asks PCB to give a detailed report about salary structure of PCB officials while The News reports that standing comittie got mad on the absence of PCB’s top officials who didn’t appear infront of comittie. How could they appear when all of them having fun out of Pakistan?Many of you would have been reading how senior players are reacting on pathetic attitude of PCB towards them and players like Inzy,Imran Farhat and now Razzaq expressed their concerns about attitude of PCB. Inzy who were known as a coolest captain of Pakistan have got pissed so much that they have threatened PCB that if PCB tries to poke its nose in the middle then they would go in courts and you all know how SC has been taking action against wrong things being done by Musharraf and Co and there are chances that PCB would be in trouble if Inzy goes in court.This is not enough! Razzaq also lashes out and says that he will not change his decision unless the current setup is dissolved.

Things are really going very worst for Pakistani cricket and I don’t see any hope unless Supreme court takes Suo Motto Action against Ashraf and his goons. We are going Kenya and I think Kenyans will beat us. I also got chance to read Razzaq’s interview in today’s Jang. I do agree with him. Respect comes first than anything else.

I know it was me who was happy on the death of Bugti. Offcourse the dictator was not exposed fully to me at that time and I took his step as a Positive move for Pakistan. I was happy that Musharraf killed an enemy of my country. I think entire opposite now. Let me explain what I used to think at that time and what are similarities exist in my different perceptions.

The reason I hated Bugti and loved Musharraf was very simple. I had seen Musharraf as a savior of Pakistan. I don’t know whether I shared before or not, I was big fan of his speeches, the way he used to speak and adressing others. I became his fan afta his India trip where he beautifully tackled Indian media. It was quite natural that I became fan of his policies as well.

I had been reading lots of stuff about Bugti. Offcourse he was not saint at all. I was very much excited that , Yayyy , we killed our enemy . I didn’t know at that time that real enemy is the person who is called Musharraf in the world. I didn’t take serious the comments made by my respectable readers here and I thought they are just being anti Of musharraf. In short, I was just being an ignorant. But, was I really being ignorant? allow me to share my point of view. My point was, I wouldn’t like any one who goes against my country and support those who save my country. Very simple thought and there is nothing between lines. Now, who met the criteria? AN year back it was Mushrraf whom I think is the only right man which meets the criteria of a good man and Bugi as a bad man.

Time passed and then month of December came when we lost Bangladesh. I had decided to study about this issue. Prior to make posts about Bangladesh, I used to think Mujeebur Rahman as enemy of Pakistan but when I read in detailed about the entire drama set by Yayah and Bhutto, I found Najeeb a victim of pathetic politics of Pakistan. I found that Najeeb was not an enemy neither he wanted a seprate state, he was just forced to get a seprate state. My posts about 16th December tragedy are here and here.

The way my thinking got changed about Mujeeb, it got changed about Bugti as well. I don’t say I know much about bugti, I really don’t know much but my criteria of savior of Pakistan was not later followed by dictator Musharraf. Killing in Waziristan, Lal Masjid tragedy, missing people case, CJ saga ,ridiculing Islam in the name of enlightenment and moderation, these things were not exposed much at that time. So whether it was ignorance or innocence, I feel sorry for it and I admit my mistake. I don’t know much about Bugti but time will sure expose the real culprits, just like it exposed the real culprit of Fall of Dhaka. All I will say, may Allah keeps this state safe from enemies and from so called saviors of this country-Ameen.
