I don't think this whole election and democracy sham and NS coming to power is a good thing for us. I've couple of observation on the same. Please bear with me -

1. Considering that this is a 'historic' election after first instance of a civilian government completing tenure ever in Pakistan, it will create unnecessary 'feel-good' atmosphere in the peace-nicks, WKK and think-tanks across the world.

2. Except to be bombarded with messages like how people of Pakistan have rejected fundamentalists and religion based parties and voted a mainstream party into power. It is nobody's business that in Pakistan of today, there is no difference only in shade of green and not in the actual color.

3. The above will create two problems for India -

(a) India will be expected to walk the extra mile to 'support' the fledgling democracy in the country and give concessions. Give concessions to ensure that hands of fundamentalists are not strengthen. The WKK brigade in India can be expected to queer the pitch even further and raise the decibel level. For example, Siachen and Sir Creek issues can be expected to be revived where India will be expected to act like big brother. An argument on line of "Indian concession makes democracy stronger against TSPA" can be expected to be thrown at us.

(b) It gives a facade to TSPA and ISI for black-ops and other g@ndoogiri against India. If another 26/11 or related events happen, there can always be reasoning on the line that this act was done to jeopardy the brotherly relationship between India and Pakistan and NS's efforts in this regard. Indian option can be restricted with the argument of not falling into the trap of fundamentalist etc etc...

As they say, beware of the Greeks bearing gifts. In our case, we need to be beware of this peace BS for there is sure to be Indian blood spilt in this game.

Well PML-N and NS has to demonstrate that it has been able to rein in TSPA and ISI and control activities against India. If his past performance is any guide then he could be acting as ignorant buffoon when fire is lit under his a$$. His real test would come in Nov in selection of COAS and Mushy treason trial, equation with paki terror groups, his relations with Talibs and PakAf withdrawal of US. India has to watch out for increase in terror activities. . The present UPA govt is hardly in a position to offer concessions. MMS term in RS coming to end in a couple of months and corruption issues has really put paid to his plans to sell India for Nobel.

From Internet
Saturday's poll saw contests in 272 directly-elected seats for the National Assembly. There are a further 70 seats reserved for women and minorities which will be apportioned according to the parties' performance in the directly elected constituencies.
Amazing. They probably reserve these seats and appoint women and minority - because if women and minority stand for direct election - they would be killed.

And because these are appointees, they are just for show and have no mandate or power to change anything. But paki gets to tell that they have women legislators and minority legislators. Wonderful.

TV channels are reporting that shri MMSji has already extended an invitation to Badmash to visit India.
Earlier in the day Badmash was reported to have expressed his willingness to visit the Kaffir Bania land invited or otherwise.
Thappad had him on his show a few hours ago where he said multiple options are always thrown up by the back channel. There was reference to an almost signed deal.
Piss process is well underway.

Are there any references to the polling statistics? percentage polling in each province or stuff like that? I have not been able to find it.
Does anybody understand how the counting process got underway almost following closure of voting? Was 1 paki = 10 sdre at work ? Our people count with a few days gap (even for a one day affair).

rohitvats:

Good analysis. The give TSP concessions mantra is based on the fraudulent narrative that India is the so called big brother. India would have been a big brother if it held TSP by its b@lls, and then to gain hearts & minds, the big brother offers carrots.

But actually, it seems to me that its the other way around. TSP has India by its b@lls with its pigLeTs and nukes. So the more accurate narrative is that big brother TSP make concessions to India in the form of reigning in pigLeTs. Can you imagine the goodwill that will create in India? Even with a pigLeT/nukes loaded gun pointed at India, India is willing to act like big brother. Imagine how much more big brotherly India will get if the gun is pointed away?

Perhaphs MMS will hand over Kashmir on silver platter with Bakara giving live commentary; after all India & TSP are brothers onlee, so it doesn't matter who has Kashmir, so will go the narrative.

NS has already grabbed 1000 sq acr land outskirt of Lawhore. He will grab another 1000 this time.

We have a paki PM who has ties with TTP who hates TSPA. We should exploit this tactically.

I doubt. It is like opening a can of worm. The army will never allow to go to that extend. NS can only harass mushy.

It would be interesting to see who the US will choose the next army chief.

It would be interesting to see. The Indian experiment to date has shown that some form of coalitions is the order of the day, and no one group can dominate without others getting p!ssed off. Will the pigLeT-dominated TSP Punjabis manage to subdue and hold the other colonies, and of course keep India guessing as well? Thats a lot of weight on their shoulders :-). Hopefully, it will come crashing down.

The cheat now complains that he was cheated out of victory in the elections! Grapes are indeed sour for the all-rounder who is back in the pavilion,hurt retd.!

How the wheel has turned.The Sherrif of the "Poonjab" and now Pak,is free adn on a veritable high,while his nemesis,Gen.Bandicoot,Mushy-the-rat,villain of Kargil,coup commando,is now lkanguishing in a Paki jail. It is going to be most interesting to see what the Sherrif of Pakistan is going to do with him.MY guess is that he will first convict him of treason,award him the death sentence and then pardon him in a deal with the Paki army ,where they take a back seat...at least until they behave true to fashion once the inevitable corruption of the Sherrif's henchmen hits the fan.

In case it has not happened already ; expect nice words composed in Queen's english from MMS welcoming return of Democracy and some such $hit in TSP. Badmash obviously will be invited for our ma da puttar has to visit TSP before his term ends. All in all syooper desperate attempt at getting the nopel prije.

Nandu wrote:Imran Khan is still relatively young as politicians go. To create an upstart party and not only take the lead in a province but establish themselves as a solid opposition group in the national assembly is no mean feat.

I hate the SoB, but that is no reason to trivialize what he's done.
:mrgreen: That is what SDREs like you get impressed by :P Because you equate that with the dramatic emergence of BSP or BJP storming into the national scene. To a lesser extent DMK storming into Tamil Nadu with decades of dominance against Congress, or AIADMK suddenly emerging with decades of dominance against DMK. But remember we are talking about Pakistan here where popular support is the last factor in winning seats.

Immy's party is made of all the usual suspects and dregs from other parties who jumped on the bandwagon thinking that he is the Army's blue eyed boy (he might still be) and they get to sit on the gaddi for a while. Classic example is Shah Mahmood Qureshi, he saw that he was being sidelined by the Zardari cabal. He was on the losing side of the fight with Good Haqqani in the Raymond Davis case. He wanted Raymond Davis prosecuted (or atleast a bit more baksheesh extracted from massa -- which was the Army's line), as opposed to the Good Haqqani approach of getting into Massa's good books to break the back of the army. He quit the party, expecting Army to overthrow Zardari and that never happened. He then joined PTI expecting Immy to become PM, that never happened. Almost everyone in Immy's party has the same story.

Why am I bringing this up? Remember PML-Q? It split off from PML-N, based on backroom dealings by Mushy and his ISI and won nearly half the seats in 2002 elections. Now that is stunning. From zero to ~130 seats! and in the current elections they have won ..... zero so far!! That is because the dregs of PML-Q having seen the writing on the wall, rejoined PML-N and PTI.

It is the same set of migrant vagabonds who go from one place to another trying to guess who the Jihadi-Fistula-Pasand party is. Nothing to be impressed by. If Immy gets discarded like a used condom a few years from now, he will win a total of zero seats.

Support for Immy has been manufactured -- he has been in politics for many many years now, suddenly what has changed? The only parties with "intrinsic" support are the PPP and PML-N and MQM (to a lesser extent). ANP has been decimated (not in the elections -- literally decimated, their candidates shot). Leaving just PML-N and PPP to slug it out in the national state. PTI is just a Jihadi-fistula creation, which will erupt from time to time and then subside.

Also a change in paki gov or army chief coincides with terrorist attack on India. We should be extra watchful for next 6-8 months.
As per Al-Bin-Sourci, GCC and especially KSA is on India's side w.r.t Indian interests in the subcontinent. So it is definitely going to help the fact that Badmash is KSA's Badmash.

I predict a peace-treaty between India and Pakistan within one year (before MmS goes home) where Pakistan will remove nukes pointing India, terror stopping and PoK coming back to MmS, because KSA will force Badmash to do so.

Even before the counting was over,with Imran calling the election a fraud,the PMO was off the mark inviting the "Sherrif" to Delhi! Talk about indecent haste ! Are we so desperate to invite a Paki PM over here after decades of chicanery and perfidy from Pak? The perpetrators of 26/11 enjoy a charmed existence,Sarabjit's soul has scarcely met his maker and this quisling of quislings,snake-oil Singh,India's"Corruption King", shamelessly invites the new Paki PM even before the mourning period of an Indian martyr is over!

Pakistani Militant, Price on Head, Lives in Open
At his Lahore compound — a fortified house, office and mosque — Mr. Saeed is shielded not only by his supporters, burly men wielding Kalashnikovs outside his door, but also by the Pakistani state. On a recent evening, police officers screened visitors at a checkpoint near his house, while other officers patrolled an adjoining park, watching by floodlight for intruders.His security seemingly ensured, Mr. Saeed has over the past year addressed large public meetings and appeared on prime-time television, and is now even giving interviews to Western news media outlets he had previously eschewed.He says that he wants to correct “misperceptions.” During that stretch, his group was focused on attacking Indian soldiers in the disputed territory of Kashmir — the fight that led the military’s Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate to help establish Lashkar-e-Taiba in 1989. But that battle died down over the past decade, and Lashkar began projecting itself through its charity wing, Jamaat-ud-Dawa, which runs a tightly organized network of hospitals and schools across Pakistan.The Mumbai attacks propelled Lashkar-e-Taiba to notoriety. But since then, Mr. Saeed’s provocations toward India have been largely verbal. Last week he stirred anger there by suggesting that Bollywood’s highest-paid actor, Shah Rukh Khan, a Muslim, should move to Pakistan. In the interview, he said he prized talking over fighting in Kashmir.“The militant struggle helped grab the world’s attention,” he said. “But now the political movement is stronger, and it should be at the forefront of the struggle.”Pakistan analysts caution that Mr. Saeed’s new openness is no random occurrence, however. “This isn’t out of the blue,” said Shamila N. Chaudhary, a former Obama administration official and an analyst at the Eurasia Group, a consulting firm. “These guys don’t start talking publicly just like that.”What it amounts to, however, may depend on events across the border in Afghanistan, where his group has been increasingly active in recent years. In public, Mr. Saeed has been a leading light in the Defense of Pakistan Council, a coalition of right-wing groups that lobbied against the reopening of NATO supply routes through Pakistan last year. More quietly, Lashkar fighters have joined the battle, attacking Western troops and Indian diplomatic facilities in Afghanistan, intelligence officials say.
But a more hopeful possibility, floated by some Western and Pakistani officials, is that Mr. Saeed would lead his group further into politics, and away from militancyWestern intelligence officials say Lashkar’s training camps in northern Pakistan have not been shut down. One of those camps was the training ground of David C. Headley, an American citizen recently sentenced to prison by an American court for his role in the Mumbai attacks.“There’s a strategic culture of using proxies,” said Stephen Tankel, an American academic and author of a book on Lashkar-e-Taiba. “And if that’s the tool you’re used to grabbing from the toolbox, it can be hard to let go.”
For all his apparent ease, Mr. Saeed has to walk a tightrope of sorts within the jihadi firmament. His support of the state puts him at odds with the Pakistani Taliban, which, he claims, are secretly supported by America and India — a familiar refrain in the right-wing media. “They want to destabilize Pakistan,” he said.But that position leaves Mr. Saeed vulnerable to pressure from fighters within his own ranks who may still have Taliban sympathies. Western security officials say Lashkar has already suffered some defections in recent years..“If he continues in this direction, the issue is how many people he can bring with him,” Mr. Tankel said.But ultimately, he added, much depends on the Pakistani Army: “The army can’t dismantle these groups all at once, because of the danger of blowback. So for now they are putting them on ice. It’s too early to tell which way they will ultimately go.”

True,he would've been a dog's dinner within the year had the Paki army not been sleeping with Uncle Sam in Af-Pak and on '
"rent" too.The pilgrimage to the IMF as first act of the new regime will show how bankrupt the nation is.With the Yanquis fleeing from Af-Pak too,barring holding onto a few key air bases,one would imagine that the fighting will wind down.It won't,as the Talibs will embark upon their "Kabul chalo" tour.

As for J&K,we will be witness to a desperate Dr.Singh,who has already sent out invites in indecent haste to the Paki tribals, clutching at the straw of "piss",to save his skin and that of the party.The peaceniks and quislings in the UPA and its supporting cast of chatterati and castratti must be delirious at the sight of the Sherrif's victory.They will be back in business after the "unfortunate incidents" of Sarabjit and co. The arse-itch of Dr.Singh's "back channel" diplomacy needs a good scratching!

This presents the keen watchers to calibrate their models.
# A new man at the top (with jihadi connections)
# How far is the next attack on the kaffir banias?
IIRC, in last few weeks one of the DDM channels had a former RAW guy (retd col) who (for the first time I think) talked about connections between visits of paki leaders/cricketers and attacks. He was cut short pretty soon. Similar connections have been talked about here.
Will Badmash's next trip coincide with jihadi itch scratching? Not that I imply zero connection with him. It might well be his declaration of return to the gaddi.

Severe loadshedding cuts rice mills capacity to 50pc
NoDzitt,Misce Shmidt Shtike Mice Shitt
The severe power breakdowns and continued gas suspension to industry have reduced the rice milling capacity to 50 per cent thus reducing availability of export quality rice.“Unavailability of gas by the SNGPL is resulting in late drying of paddy and unless paddy is not dried, millers could not husk it to convert it in to rice,” observed rice millers. They said that current higher prices have knocked us out of the international competition against our neighbouring country India. “We need to keep regional parity in-tact. The Indian Basmati is way cheaper than our Super Basmati. One of the major reasons of price increase is the role of non-traders into rice trade, they added. They said that investors invest money on food stocks creating artificial scarcity of commodity for their vested interest of higher profitability. Industry was of the view that uur long grain is higher in prices than Vietnam while Basmati is higher in pricing than India; hence buyers across the globe have alternative options to buy. Punjab Government should advise a strategy that each grain stored outside rice millers premises shall be seized and liquidated in market on public interest, they added.
They also termed higher discount rate in Pakistan compared to regional competitive countries like India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka as another reason of decline in exports. Rice Export Association vice chairman Samee Ullah Ch stressed the need to boost our competitiveness by reducing the discount rate specifically for the export oriented industry and lock it with the regional parity.
He said the volume of Pakistan rice was stagnant to six million tons over past five-years and called for developing R&D for higher acre yields.
He disclosed the Association was setting up a ‘rice technical training institute’ for producing trained manpower in post-harvest techniques. Punjab government had promised to allot five acres of land soon in this regard. He urged the federal government to allocate at least Rs 200 million from Export Development Fund (EDF) for the construction which included complete rice milling facility to training staff with updated technologies of value addition and hygiene.
Reap vice chairman also demanded that association should be given representation on the EDF board and making it binding on commercial counsellors to meet Reap representatives prior to their appointment in foreign offices to draw a strategy for enhancing rice exports. He said Pakistan and Iran official trade was at halt since the United States had put economic sanctions on Iran. Banks in Pakistan were no more opening letter of credits for goods to Iran, he said, adding that “India is having no such issues with Iran and having good trade ties at the state level. We need to have Currency Swap Arrangement/Barter Trade Arrangement/LC Transaction Arrangement with Iran.”

Separate Karachi from Pakistan if you don't like MQM mandate: Altaf
Future PM of Karachi and Sindh
KARACHI: In a reply to allegations pertaining to poll rigging being leveled against MQM in Karachi and Hyderabad, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Chief Altaf Hussain said if the ‘establishment’ doesn’t like the mandate of his party, it should go ahead and detach it from the rest of the country.“Separate Karachi (from the rest of the country) if you dislike its people’s mandate,” Altaf Hussain said to the ‘establishment’ while addressing his party workers and supporters via telephone at his party’s Headquarters, Nine Zero.He said, ‘instead of abusing Karachi and its people, separate Karachi from Pakistan’ and warned the ‘establishment’ that they were playing with fire. “If you didn’t stop playing with fire, it would burn down the entire Pakistan,” he snapped, and at the same time added that he was not issuing any threats to anyone. He warned the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to reach a decision with honesty or else they will not be able to find any shelter.The MQM Chief dared anyone who is opposing his party to come up with evidence and warned that if opposition was not stopped, he would not take long to let his associates free to act on their own. “How can I control them and for how long,” he added.The MQM Chief alerted Karachiites to get ready to stand up against the bullying and that soon a call will be issued to them in this regard. “Altaf Hussain should not be blamed if a war breaks out among the people,” he warned, adding whoever attempted to conduct propaganda will face a war.
He said ‘we will see how many big shots come out to engage in bullying’.
“The nations which are put against the wall usually choose to build their separate home (land),” Altaf Hussain warned.He said if only one province is considered Pakistan, then the entire country would suffer damage.He said if a member of his party has gone out of line it is because of the latter’s own choice. However, he added, that there was no place for criminals in his party

Imran Khan's support base is made up of 'Burger jihadis' i.e. upper middle class 'youth' supposedly fed up with krrrrrruption and dreaming of a 'Naya Pakistan' where a hug and kiss on a TTP jihadi's beard will make all worries go away. He benefited in KPK/NWFP because his TTP buddies killed or scared off enough ANP people. So basically his Tsunami had all the force of a Muslim Shower, maybe we can now call it the Susu-nami

In places like Karachi a lot of IK's support base was also the new middle class - people who became property owners during the Mush years and have since sought some empowerment and are tired of the corruption they then encountered in the system. Now they're alleging that Karachi was rigged and want to demonstrate. Meanwhile, MQM supremo is getting a do qaumi revelation and threatening separatism. Perhaps this may increase polarization. If it does, then a tsunami would have come indeed.

PEPCO (pakistan electric power company) has several DISCO (distributing company, their official name...no kidding). No wonder electricity is a joke in pakiland.

Even as the Islamic Republic of Pakistan's panders to Mohammadden terrorists like Hafiz Saeed a demonstration of the IED Mubarak variant of the IEDology of Pakistan kills seven in Quetta but misses the Inspector General of Police who is reckoned to have been the target:

i was reading some where that ganja loins votes are almost all in the punjab, with the regions doing their own thing. however the seat assymmetry favouring punjab has worked well for ganja loin

in a way this could be the start of a more formalised balkanisation

following on from rohitvats and other's analysis - i wonder what price kiyani has extracted from unkil for allowing the civvies to complete their herrowic demmowcratic process? more F16's?
