Small Win For Ganja Sharif At The Court

SC refuses to hold Nawaz in contempt, says citizens can comment on verdicts

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court (SC) on Wednesday dismissed a contempt plea against deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif a day after rejecting a similar petition, stating that citizens had the right to comment on judicial verdicts. Deep State is after Ganja ! But Paki Supreme Court has drawn a line beyond which he cannot be humiliated

[Gagan]

It's stunning to see Paki diplomutts and ministers claiming that IMF was no longer needed / Other sources of credit being available..

Pakis seem content to postpone the day their economy will inevitably go down the crapper, no body wants to push through economic reforms..
just beg, borrow and blackmail.. we are too pig to fail.. AoA!

May or June this year, is when they will officially be bankrupt !
They have I believe 13 billion dollars to pay off THIS YEAR !!!

This is just false bravardo on media by the Pakis.

The one rule of thumb when listening to a statement from ISPR or Pak Government is to understand that the truth is likely to be exactly the opposite.
For Eg:
1. When Pakistan says, they will stand up to the US on TV, it usually means that their COAS, ISI chief and PM are GUBO-ing to massa.
2. When they say, China is their all weather friend, and lets make no mistake, China gave then N weapons, Missiles, is digging all these tunnels for them and making underground bunkers for them. This CPEC thing is so expensive because the fauj is as usual getting their infrastructure built, while the civilians are getting 24x7 blame for expensive infra being built.
So how do the Pakistanis repay the Chinese, their all weather friend? The ISI is sponsoring ETIM, creating terrorism in Xinjinag, to have a bargaining chip with the Chinese !
3. Now they are in Beijing with a Begging bowl for 500million or 800 million in alms for repayment, but the IMF they will have to go to.
We will see another round of Echendee boosting happening on TV talk shows before that. "We don't need the IMF", "Pak will be a 1 trillion economy by 2050" and so on...

Reality is that their youth are running away from that country, because they can only become terrorists. Most of the men who are asylum seekers across Europe are Pakistani !

Paki Paper "Makes Fun" Of illegal Paki Immigrants Using "Parrot Analogy".

Europe planning to expel Deport Pakistani parrots for breeding like crazy

Amid dealing with illegal immigrants from the Middle East and other countries, European nations are planning to expel Pakistani (green) parrots from the region.According to trt.net.tr, the population of the Pakistan-origin bird has exploded in Holland. Did these "parrots" travel on the coveted Green Book European scientists have ranked them among the species, breeding like crazy in the region. Like Father like son. Having "grown'" up in an Islamic country, these "parrots" were totally ignorant of the concept of birth control.

Keeping in view their growing populations, the countries of the region has imposed a ban on feeding the parrots. Irritate from their noise, Europe is also trying to drive them out from the region. Some of these "parrots" have vehemently denied their Paki origin . And then wrong claim that they are from Afghanistan ![/quote]

This bird species has colonised several countries on every continent except Antarctica, with big breeding groups in Holland, Belgium and Germany. Some Paki "parrots" have also been cited in Greece, Spain, France and Italy !

The garden bird was one of the charming, exotic bird, with its lurid green feathers but today it has now become a pest that drives out native species. Because they do not practice Birth Control

PS: Some media reports have speculated that, as of 2017 - as many as 500,000 Paki parrots have been expelled from 134 countries including Saudi Arabia

After More Than 70 years After Its Creation, Pakistan Is Ready To Announce Its Water Policy For The First Time In Its Tumultuous History !

Pakistan to announce water policy on March 22

ISLAMABAD – The National Assembly was informed Wednesday that Water Policy would be launched on 22nd of this month, reported Radio Pakistan. ( One day before their "Big Day" on March 23 !) . Minister for Water Resources Javed Ali Shah told the House during questions hour that it is for the first time in the country’s history that a water policy has been formulated covering all aspects including water conservation and storage. He said that a steering committee will oversee the implementation of water policy.

Javed Ali Shah said the groundbreaking of Munda Dam will be performed in Mohmand Agency next month. It will help generate 800 megawatts of electricity besides irrigating 16700 acres of land. He said funds are available for this project and efforts will be made to complete it at the earliest. The wording of the statement itself gives a hint that this may not happen ( "he said funds are available" )

Responding to a call attention notice, Minister for Water Resources Javed Ali Shah said that water is being distributed among the provinces in accordance with Water Accord of 1991. He said the share of Sindh province was 19 thousand cusecs but it was given over nineteen thousand and one hundred cusecs.He categorically made it clear that the government has no desire to shift the water share of one province to the other. Dus Percenti has complained that the Pakjabis are hogging all the water and depriving Sindh of its fair share

According To This Unconfirmed Report, Asif Ali Zardari AKA Dus Percenti Wants To Be President Of Pakistan Once Again !

Guru’s Game-plan: Zardari craves presidency, and he is right-on-track
by Irfan Takalvi

The gradual unfolding of Asif Zardari’s political grand-design gives one clear and powerful message: former president is seeking the top office again and he is moving towards achieving the objective, persistently.

The meddling in Balochistan in January this year and ousting of PML-N’s Zehri, which Zardari and his aides now openly boast of, was not meant to embarrass the ruling party and particularly Sharifs, alone.

Then came the senate elections on March 3 where Zardari’s ‘skills’ were openly at display. That too was not aimed entirely at preventing a decisive PML-N majority or securing the slot of the Chairman of the upper house of Pakistani parliament.

Imran Khan and his PTI ‘gifting’ their senators to Zardari though in the name of siding with the Baloch senators and PPP co-chairperson’s open snub of Nawaz Sharif’s offer regarding incumbent Raza Rabbani’s chairmanship would translate into Zardari being even more confident, and perhaps aggressive, in his designs to have another shot at presidency in September this year, when the post becomes available. This is only possible, because "Deep State" is standing behind him in his efforts to marginalize Ganja and make him redundant to Paki politics !

Zardari is not publically snubbing, rather humiliating, Nawaz without a reason. One way of looking at it is that he has some “assurances” from powers-that-be for a slice of the cake in coming dispensation. That may not be ruled out. But the political ‘aura’ on the ground also provides Zardari with ‘favorable conditions’ to play his game – the game he is good at playing – without any doubt.

Imran’s ‘surrender’ of PTI’s strength, though indirectly, in senate to Zardari would boost Mr. Zardari’s confidence. He already seems to have a feeling that PPP would have enough strength after 2018 where both PTI and PML-N would be willing to enter into some post-electoral arrangement with his party. And the price would be the occupancy of the president’s house, again

That would not matter if the premier is from PPP or not. Presidency would actually be the bargain.Don’t be surprised if we see “PM Shahbaz and President Zardari” or even “PM Imran and President Zardari” arrangement post September 2013. Politics, possibilities. Can the Sindhi get along with the Pakjabi and the pseudo Pathan. Politics makes strange bedfellows

Imran Suffers Setback . Fails To Dislodge Gulalai From Her MNA Seat

Ayesha Gulalai again defeats Imran Khan in court fight over disqualification

ISLAMABAD – The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Wednesday dismissed a petition filed by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan against the verdict of Election Commission of Pakistan which allowed MNA Ayesha Gulalai to retain her National Assembly’s membership

A three-member bench announced the decision on the petition, which claimed that Gulalai had violated party laws and should be deseated as she did not vote for the PTI’s chosen candidate, Sheikh Rasheed, for the office of prime minister after the disqualification of former PM Nawaz Sharif in Panamagate case.

The court observed that Gulalai had not tendered a written resignation, adding that politicians used to make such announcement during their speeches.

Khan’s petition furher said that a show-cause notice was served to Gulalai and she was given ample time to explain herself following her August press conference, where she imposed serious allegations of harassment against the party head. She had accused Imran of "Sexting" to her- before his marriage to the Peerni - which Imran at that time predictively denied

The ECP, however, had ruled that Gulalai had not been provided reasonable time to explain herself. It added that the appellant had failed to prove that she had resigned.

Gulalai claimed that she had not taken part in the vote due to an illness, but the PTI had submitted a record of television talk shows on which she had appeared just before the election of a new PM and announced to leave party citing harassment. Imran is not above playing "dirty politics" !

[Gagan]

I was about to post the above as a possible outcome, but the news article says some of it

1. Immy (Sunni Pakjabi) wants to be PM
2. Zardari (Shia) wants to be President
3. Fauj knows these two will soon fight and paralyze the government, and they will rule by proxy

Zardari will beg from Iran. COAS & Immy will beg from KSA, Amreeka & China
Hubby will take 10%, Dummy will take 1% & fauj will take 50%

Now that the Iranians are visiting Pakistan, it is time to roll out talk about planning to reconsider the possible handing out of contracts for the Iran Pakistan gas pipeline
It was a shia zardari who flew into Tehran and prematurely signed the agreement with Iran, when the ISI first heard about Indian plans for Chabahar.
- Zardari wanted to bolster his shia votebank & crdentials
- Pakistan had no money for the pipeline project
- The ISI had no intentions other than to buy time and stall the Iran-India Chabahar plan

Now Pakistan is 1. Trying to stall possible litigation by Iran, 2. Trying to save their western flank

But at the same time, they are facing (and will likely give in) pressure from 2.5 masters on Iran

Pakistan calls home envoy in India for meeting to discuss diplomatic tensions

New Delhi : Pakistan has summoned its envoy in India back home for a meeting to discuss recent issues to do with the alleged harassment of diplomats.

Islamabad has asked high commissioner to India Sohail Mahmood to return to the Pakistani capital for an unspecified time. India and Pakistan are in the middle of a major diplomatic spat with both sides + accusing each other of harassing, even intimidating, diplomats.

Pakistan's Foreign Office spokesman Muhammad Faisal said that the Indian government failed to take notice of the increasing incidents of intimidation of Pakistani diplomats, their families and staffers by its intelligence agencies.

While Pakistan on Tuesday issued a demarche to India saying it was becoming difficult for its diplomats to function in Delhi, sources here said the present round of hostility was initiated by an ISI raid on a residential complex under construction for Indian diplomats in Islamabad. The ISI is Pakistan's spy agency.

A group of 7-8 men raided the residential complex last month and disconnected the electricity and water supply to the property which is owned by India. Indian high commissioner in Pakistan, Ajay Bisaria, met the Pakistan foreign secretary on February 16 to strongly protest such "multiple acts of hooliganism" against Indian staff and property.

Despite the protest by Bisaria, the power supply wasn’t restored for over two weeks. Bisaria himself had his car intercepted recently in the middle of the road as he was prevented from attending an event, sources here said.

The Pakistan Foreign Ministry claimed that the staff and their families have been facing "harassment, intimidation and outright violence" from Indian state agencies in recent weeks.

Faisal today alleged that this deliberate continuing bullying was not confined to a single isolated event and "continues unabated despite repeated official protests lodged with the Indian High Commission here, and also with the Indian Ministry of External Affairs at the highest (level)."

He said the Pakistan High Commission shared with the External Affairs Ministry photographs identifying the individuals, who forcibly halted and took pictures of the officers but regrettably no positive action was taken by the Indian side so far.

Official sources in New Delhi didn’t confirm a report in Pakistani media that Islamabad had threatened to pull out family members of their diplomats but said India will investigate the allegations. They said that Indian diplomats and their family members were regularly harassed in the recent past by Pakistani authorities.

Indian diplomats meanwhile have repeatedly complained about having to deal with unauthorised entry into their premises and also random interception of their cars. In one case, unidentified men are said to have broken into an Indian official’s home and stole his laptop.

The government, as a source said, has also not taken kindly to the fact that Islamabad Club has sought to deny membership, which is open to all diplomats, to Indian high commissioner Bisaria and other Indian diplomats.

Pakistan’s interior ministry is yet to issue the no-objection certificate required for the membership given to Indian diplomats. "Harassment is the new normal for Indian high commission personnel in Islamabad," said a source here.

Paki Student Ayesha "Upset" . Her Personal Details Leaked And Available To The Radhiwalla

Shocking: Forms of Women Who Applied to Medical University Leaked

Rabia Aziz, a student of a medical university in Karachi, got the shock of her life on March 1st.

She was contacted by a stranger on Whatsapp, who told her that he had all the details and pictures that she included in her admission form at the Dow University of Health and Sciences.
Disturbed at how easily her personal and academic information was easily discovered by an anonymous person, Rabia confronted the sender over Whatsapp.The 20-year old discovered that all the information that she had filled in her admission form on Nov 4, 2017, as well as her passport-sized photograph, was found with a street hawker by the person who contacted her. !

Rabia says that many other people contacted her over Whatsapp. All of them told her that they had her number because it was mentioned in her documents and wanted to alert her in case her information was being misused without her knowledge.Rabia was fortunate in the sense that she was alerted by people who saw her documents lying about.
However, hers is not the only case of this kind. Some of the people who contacted her also sent screenshots of other admission forms belonging to other women.Appalled, Rabia decided to go public. Wrong move IMO. Should have let the matter die down !

Ms. Aziz, who went public with her story on Facebook, recounted a similar experience that a friend of hers faced as well. Her post has gone viral and has been shared thousands of times.

The administration at Dow has stated that it is looking into the matter. According to the Vice-Chancellor at Dow, Saeed Qureshi told media that they first learned about this breach of privacy through social media as well. He added, There are two ways an incident like this could have taken place. Either it’s someone from DOW trying to sabotage the image of the institute and scaring aspiring students. Or the forms were not properly discarded.

The VC also added that at Dow, application forms are processed for disposal after a year of their receipt. He stated that forms from 2015 were burned only recently and the ones from 2016 were in the process of being burned.He expressed his confusion as to how application forms and pictures from 2017 (such as Rabia’s) were leaked and available with paper (radi wala) sellers on the road. "Reputed University" does not have a shredder.

Mr. Qureshi says that the university will take all possible steps to resolve the situation and ensure that such an incident does not occur in the future.Regardless of the university’s actions now, the simple fact is that information of female applicants was compromised and there needs to be strict action. In a society like ours, life can become hell for women if their private information is leaked and falls into the wrong hands.In such circumstances, an internal investigation is not enough. The HEC needs to step in and make sure that the culprits, whether it’s the university with shoddy processes or rogue employees, are brought to justice. And it also needs to make sure such an incident never occurs at any other university in Pakistan. Incidents like this are one more reason for Paki Ayeshas to stay home in Purdah behind the four walls of their home

Not expecting improvement in ties with India: FM Asif

Foreign Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif on Thursday said is not expecting improvement in relations between Pakistan and India due to the constant ceasefire violations by India.

“India is violating ceasefire agreement time and again on the Line of Control and working boundary. In such circumstances we are not expecting improvement in relations between the two countries,” Asif was quoted as saying by Radio Pakistan.

The foreign minister’s statement came a day after three UN observers narrowly escaped the Indian army’s attack along the Line of Control (LoC) in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) with two civilians being seriously injured in the incident.

After news of the incident broke, protesters gathered in the Abbaspur market and staged an anti-India rally condemning its aggression.

Islamabad has been urging New Delhi to respect the 2003 ceasefire arrangement, investigate the incidents of ceasefire violations, instruct Indian forces to respect the ceasefire in letter and spirit and maintain peace on the LoC. However, the violation of the truce has still been continuing.

In January, while expressing concern over the situation developing along the LoC between Pakistan and India, the UN Secretary General António Guterres stressed the two nations to resume talks.

An obsolete policy
But, wait! The fault does not lie with the pakis....read on!

Pakistan may not have reached the point of isolation yet, but it is certainly stranded.

You start having trouble with all or most of your neighbours. And instead of making new friends you make enemies. Your friends are treating you not only as an ally but also as a threat. And you are being left behind by a changing world that is beginning to regard you as a problem.

Take the example of China and India. Bilateral trade reached $84.44 billion in 2017. There are also stirrings of change in their overall ties. The moral is that in this changed world, disputes are not standing in the way of economic cooperation.

Unfortunately, our foreign policy is beating to the rhythm of an extinct world.

Our national priorities, power structure and governance remain imbalanced: security is prioritised over economy;

Militant groups may have been considered strategic assets by the establishment but they are also serving as political assets of the civilians. Look at the company we will be keeping in the FATF grey list as a result.

But...but...but... who ij reshponshible? And, the finger points to...

This is exactly what India, often with the help of Afghanistan, wants us to remain trapped in to keep competing with it at the expense of economic progress, stability and human welfare in Pakistan.

Afghanistan Asserts Itself : Imposes 400% Custom Duties On Paki Products !

Afghanistan imposing 400 percent more taxes on Pakistani products
14 Mar, 2018

*LAHORE: *Pakistan-Afghanistan Joint Chamber of Commerce and Industry Secretary General Faiza Zubair while talking to members of the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) said smuggling should be dealt with firmly as it was equally destructive for both countries.

She said the regulatory duty imposed by Afghanistan on Pakistani goods was 400 times more than the duty imposed by Pakistan on Afghan products, adding mutual trade could not grow in the presence of such a duty structure. Rather than requesting Afghanistan for reduction in rate, Pakistan should also increase the duty . They need the cash !!!

Speaking on the occasion, LCCI Acting President Khawaja Khawar Rashid said bilateral relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan were very important for peace and development in the region.“If relations between the two countries are not good due to some internal or external reasons, they directly affect bilateral trade and transit trade,” he remarked. No kidding ! Afghanistan no longer a captive market for Paki products

In 2016-17, the trade volume fell to $2.9 billion, but he voiced hope that it would reach $3 billion by the end of 2017-18.

Turkish tariffs weigh down Pakistan’s exports

KARACHI: Increase in duties on Pakistan’s exports by Turkish authorities drastically reduced the country’s outbound shipments to Turkey, a senior industry official said on Wednesday, stressing need for free trade agreement (FTA) between the two countries to improve bilateral trade.

Vice President Mazhar Ali Nasir of Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) said export of Pakistan to Turkey was $873 million in 2011, but it fell to $323 million in 2017, whereas export of Turkey to Pakistan amounted to $214 million in 2011, which rose to $352 million in 2017.

“Turkish authorities increased duties on Pakistani exports from six to 24 percent, which is a great barrier and caused a drastic reduction in export of Pakistan to Turkey,” a statement quoted Nasir as saying. He was meeting with Turkish Consul General who visited FPCCI.

FPCCI vice president said Pakistan and Turkey are time-tested friends and their economic ties are based on longstanding and deep-rooted bilateral relationship providing economic and political support to each other. One of the so called Time-Tested Friends has given the the Other the "Order of the Boot"

“There are tremendous opportunities and trade potential between both the countries which can be exploited by the help of FTA,” he said. “Unfortunately, the bilateral trade volume has decreased to $675 million in 2017 from more than a billion dollar in 2011.”

Nasir lamented that Turkey awarded trade incentives and tax concessions to various countries except Pakistan. Pakistan and Turkey are also active members of Economic Cooperation Organisation (ECO) and both agreed on implementation of various concessions in duties for enhancement of regional trade.

Vice president FPCCI said Islamabad-Tehran-Istanbul cargo train should be made financially viable for trade promotion. He also suggested early implementation of ECO visa sticker scheme to facilitate the businessmen of all ECO nations to enhance business relations and people to people contact.

Nasir called for a joint business council meeting between chambers of both the countries to discuss the impediments and bottlenecks of FTA and find solutions to remove all non-tariff barriers.

Hate mail in London urges people to ‘punish’ Muslims, bomb mosques



Families living in London have reportedly received anonymous letters containing hate material targeting Muslims, it emerged on Tuesday.

The letters titled ‘Punish A Muslim Day’ were being sent to families in East London, asking them to celebrate the day on April 3, 2018.

The letter details a point system for each act of hatred against the Muslims and also suggests a reward for it.

For example, abusing a Muslim is said to have 10 points, pulling a Muslim women’s hijab is worth 25 points, throwing acid is marked 50 points while burning or bombing a mosque is a whole 1,000 points.

The Muslim population living in London believes that this is a part of a larger campaign of hate against the Muslim community.

According to authorities, at least six communities around the United Kingdom have received the letters, which are being investigated by the country's counterterrorism forces.

In a Facebook post, Naz Shah, a member of UK Parliament, wrote that members of her community are very distressed. “I would appeal to the wider community to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the police,” she wrote.

It's not clear who sent the letters or what they're trying to accomplish. It seems, though, that the writers targeted predominantly Muslim communities.

Muslims living there believe that Islamophobia is already at high and worrisome levels in the UK.

It Is Less Than A Week And PIA Is Again Back In The News

Over 600 PIA Employees Have Fake Degrees

The national carrier has made the headlines again. 659 Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) employees have fake degrees, National Assembly’s Senate committee was informed.

Out of the total 659, 391 fake-degree holders have been dismissed while there are ongoing cases against 251 employees and further investigation is being conducted against 17 people. Right 'sifarish' will get you off the hook .

It has not even been a week since the last time PIA made it to the news – only recently, two PIA crew members were arrested in Paris on allegations of drug smuggling. The carrier keeps coming to the limelight every now and then, and usually due to the wrong reasons. In recent times we have seen news regarding smuggling cases, management inconsistency, poor performance, and irregularities at PIA. Rats in the aisle and stale food served to passengers should also be mentioned

The company slogan, “great people to fly with” is contradictory to recent events showcasing the unending poor performance of the national aviation company. Its privatization has been one of the main concerns for the privatization committee but has proven to be a daunting task. Union is powerful !

Privatization may be the only way out in order to prevent the carrier from flooding itself in more debt and losses.

PIA’s new CEO, Musharraf Rasool Cyan has provided a glimpse of hope as the airline has been actively trying to improve its public reputation by launching new campaigns and forgoing VVIP culture. Sycophancy is ingrained in the Paki culture , so the VVIP culture is bound to stay !

He added that a significant portion of the carrier’s market share is lost because it lacks modern “data analytics” which other companies are actively using. Mouthing "buzz words" without explaining what it actually means !!!

Another Paki "Assemble And Paint Job" Confirmed By Defense Intelligence Agency Of USA

Pakistan is the First Country in South Asia to Test the “Ultimate Nuclear Missile”

Pakistan successfully tested the first-ever MIRV nuclear missile of South Asia back in January 2017, says the United States of America.

United States Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) has confirmed that Pakistan successfully test-fired a ballistic missile with multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRV). The nuclear-capable MIRV missile got its first successful test launch back in January 2017.

Pakistan Army announced about the test-fire, however, many doubted the claim saying that Pakistan lacks the technology to develop the missile. However, the doubts have been put to rest by the United States report confirming the test of MIRV missile. "Testing" does not mean that the Pakis developed the missile from A to Z. Most likely the whole thing was imported , assembled and repainted - either from China or NOKO !

DIA submitted a report about worldwide threats to the US Congress and it says; In January 2017, Pakistan conducted the first test launch of its nuclear-capable Ababeel ballistic missile, demonstrating South Asia’s first MIRV payload.

MIRV missile is a small-sized warhead capable of delivering nuclear payloads at different locations in one go. This technology is often referred to as the Ultimate Nuclear Missle system since it allows for long-range and destructive attacks. Some experts even call it “the most dangerous nuclear threat no one was talking about.”

MIRV comes in handy during counterforce attacks and defeating the opposition’s missile defenses. Pakistan is the second country in Asia to have confirmed MIRV capabilities. The US confirmed that China had the technology back in 2015. France, Britain, Russia and the United States also have MIRVed missiles. With this, Pakistan has gained an upper hand against India’s military and nuclear capabilities.

Pakistan is also the only Muslim country in the world to hold any kind of nuclear warheads. Typical Paki hyberbole and boasting

Further Evidence Of Chinification: Chini Deans Announced For A Paki University

In a first, Chinese deans to oversee Pakistani varsity

LAHORE: Punjab Tianjin University of Technology (PTUT) which is going to start its regular classes from March 19, is all set to introduce new disciplines of automobile engineering and cloth design engineering for the first time in Pakistan as no other technology university is offering such programmes.Also, this is the first ever technical university established in Pakistan where the faculty would comprise of the Chinese deans and heads of departments (HODs). Three Chinese deans and at least 10 HODs would soon join the varsity, said a university officer, adding that the recruitment process for the faculty comprising at least 35 teachers has also been completed. Medium of instruction Mandarin

He said that the UET Lahore made all the recruitment while recruitment for the non-faculty staff was underway. He said that the PTUT would introduce new disciplines like automobile engineering and the cloth design engineering for the first time in Pakistan.

The PTUT was established in Lahore in collaboration with three Chinese Universities. The Punjab governor had also promulgated an Ordinance in November 2017. In this regard, an agreement regarding was signed between the Punjab government through TEVTA with three Chinese Universities on November 1, 2017 in Tianjin, China. The IC&I further wrote that all the necessary work has already been done regarding the preparation of curriculum, course designing and the establishment of laboratory etc. Who is funding this "new experiment" ?

Official sources in the Planning and Development Department told The Nation that at least one billion rupees have been demanded to commence the classes at PTUT. They said the amount will be used for establishment of labs, payment of salaries and other similar operational expenditures for the commencement of the classes on March 19.Officials said that the Industries, Commerce and Investment (IC&I) department had written a note to the P&D chairman demanding sanction of Rs995 million to run the newly established Punjab Tianjin University of Technology. By the sounds of it, seems that right now , the "University" is going to be on paper onlee due to the fact that "demand" of one billion rupees is not likely to be met by March 19, 2018

Initially, a steering committee headed by Minister Education and Chancellor’s Committee of PTUT were supervising the process of the establishment of the university for ensuring that the International Standards are met in all aspects. After promulgation of the Ordinance, Vice Chancellor, UET Lahore has been appointed as Acting Vice-Chancellor of PTUT on January 18. The Punjab governor has also constituted a Chancellor’s Committee headed by Education Minister Rana Mashood Khan. The committee has been empowered to exercise all the powers to take executive decisions of the university. New admissions in the university are being supervised by the UET Lahore also. Buzz words all to hide the fact that funds are still lacking !

The lC&l Department in compliance of meetings moved a proposal for funds to run the PTUT amounting to Rs995 million for the Fiscal Year 2017-18. "Move a proposal for funds" does not mean that the funds will move , because there are no funds

Exiled Paki Journo Talks About Journalistic Taboos In His Homeland

Reporting on military, religion, a taboo in Pakistan, says journalist in exile Taha Siddiqui

Reporting on military and religion is a taboo in Pakistan and defying the convention can make things worse for a person, said a Pakistani journalist.
Journalist Taha Siddiqui, who has been living in exile in France, told ANI, "From an outsider's point of view, you can see that the Pakistani media talks a lot about their politicians, social issues, women rights and that seems as if the media is very vibrant, but when it comes to military and religion, you cannot talk about them and if you do so, you immediately become a target. " "These topics are a taboo in the country," he added. Pakistan Army wants to give a (false) impression that minority religious rights are not a issue in Pakistan ,the military is not "interfering" in Paki politics and the Paki Military has nothing to do with persons "disappearing" in Pakistan . Anyone who does not believe in this fiction is targeted . And that is what happened to Siddiqui. He was literally chased out of the country

Siddiqui, who has been critical of the military establishment, himself escaped his abduction on January 10 this year, when he was on his way to the airport in Islamabad.

Talking about the incident, he said, "Eight to ten armed men, who were well dressed and English speaking, tried to stop my taxi in a broad daylight at 8:30 am, they tried to take me away. Somehow, I miraculously escaped from them and then went to a police station, registered a police case.""I have been receiving threats for a long time from the Pakistani military, my friends in journalism and family members have also received such messages, that I should stop being critical of the Pakistani military and its policies," he added. He did not heed the message; therefore he is in exile . In other cases, the intimidation by the Deep State is "outsourced" so it cannot be attributed to them. At least one journo is in Canada . Another well known Journalist ( Raza Rumi ) sought temporary refuge in Massaland and now has returned back , after lessons being learned !

"But fortunately, I got out of it and escaped then. Later on, I was told that they might come back as this time they failed in their mission and couldn't complete their assignment," said Siddiqui. "It was best for me to get out of the country and currently, I'm living in exile in Europe." Where there is no journalistic action to report !

The Pakistani journalist further said that the attack on media in Pakistan has been intensified in past two-three years.
"You know journalism has been under attack for a long time in Pakistan, the nature of the attack and intensity has increased, especially in the last two-three years," Siddiqui said.

He mentioned one of such incidents happened this year when activist Raza Khan, who was doing 'Aaghaz-e-Dosti', the youth-led voluntary initiative for India-Pakistan friendship, was abducted and he is still missing. He was very active on social media.

According to a report published by the United Nation's Press Freedom Index, Pakistan is consistently ranked low in the index. It is currently ranked 139 out of 180 countries.The country has seen enforced disappearances of journalists in the recent days. - He and Hamid Mir are "lucky" to be alive after targeting by Deep State. Sabin Mahmud and Saleem Shahzad were not so lucky and were therefore eliminated

US Water Expert Sounds Alarm About Pakistan's Coming Water Crisis

Pakistan’s long-festering water crisis is threatening to upend its politics
March 15, 2018


SCOTT MOORE

Beneath the headlines, a massive water crisis is unfolding in Pakistan that has profound implications for the country’s stability and security. Rapid urbanization and conflict combined with corruption, crime and years of mismanagement have left a massive proportion of the population without access to clean water. And now, this long-festering crisis threatens to upend Pakistan’s politics.Perhaps the strangest thing about Pakistan’s water crisis is that until recently, the country had been doing well in connecting more of its citizens to water supply and sanitation networks. From 1990 to 2015, the percentage of the country’s population with access to clean water increased from 86 percent to 91 percent. But in a reversal of what happens in most countries, almost all of this improvement occurred in rural areas—the percentage of urban residents with access to clean water actually declined from 97 to 94 percent over the same period. Pakistan is going to announce its first water policy in over 70 years on March 22 of this year !!!

Pakistan is urbanizing at a rapid rate of over 3 percent annually—the highest rate in South Asia. The causes of this fast-moving urbanization are deeply troubling, with climate change and the fight against Muslim extremists acting as key drivers. Given this ever-quickening tide, Pakistan’s cities have had trouble providing basic services, including housing and water, to new urban residents. And education and transport and hospitals and the list goes on and on . A "new trend" has been to "outsource" these social needs to foreign govts

But the problem is worse in the water sector because rampant corruption and mismanagement keeps prices high and coverage rates low. Because Pakistan’s cities can’t keep up with growing water demand from new residents, many urban-dwellers are forced to buy water from private tanker trucks. And because tankers often bring water from far away, prices are high, and tanker “mafias” raise them still further by illegally siphoning off water from municipal sources and reselling it at extortionate prices. These criminal gangs represent a serious challenge to Pakistan’s local authorities. As a Karachi official admitted, “These illegal hydrants are established by armed people, so it is very difficult for . . . staff to just dismantle them.” But authorities have also been accused of turning a blind eye to tanker mafias: no less an authority than the Chief Justice of Pakistan’s Supreme Court was quoted as saying, “there is someone behind the scenes at work who is minting money from [the tanker mafias].” Maybe, they are too politically powerful to touch

Unfortunately, Pakistan’s water bomb has multiple triggers, and if it explodes it may well send the country into an even greater political crisis. In addition to its water quality woes, Pakistan is at risk of growing water scarcity as a result of climate change, which some observers have warned could exacerbate existing insurgencies and make a military coup more likely. Nor are the consequences of a water crisis confined to Pakistan’s domestic security. As long as the elites get their electricity and their water, who cares for the "bhooka and nanga" Aam Abduls

During a December conference, a Chinese diplomat reportedly complained that the country’s chronic water shortages were hindering Chinese investment as part of the China—Pakistan Economic Corridor, the country’s highest-profile development project.

Chini desalination plant near Gwadar not to solve the problem

If Pakistan is to tackle its water woes, attitudes like this will have to change. For the United States, such reluctance is concerning, and adds other set of risk factors to an already difficult relationship with a volatile nuclear power.Unfortunately, Washington’s current spat with Islamabad leaves it with few good options to make the case that providing basic services, especially water, are essential to maintaining Pakistan’s security and stability. But it should try. So, this" bleeding heart water expert" is urging US intervention to solve the water crisis

The U.S. government’s recently-released Global Water Strategy prioritizes investment in water and sanitation as a tool to advance U.S. national interests, and can be used as a framework to help Pakistan address its water crisis. As President Trump himself acknowledged, “Water may be the most important issue we face for the next generation.”

Paki Water Experts Sound Alarm About This Domestic Water Company Of Pakjab

Why a clean drinking water project in Punjab is going nowhere

Within a year, Punjab Saaf Pani Company ( Orwellian Name to fool the Abduls ) came into existence — like dozens of other companies in other sectors. Registered under Section 42 of the 1984 Companies Ordinance as a non-profit corporate entity wholly owned by the government of Punjab, it is to be run – at least in theory – by a chief executive officer (CEO) selected from the private sector by the chief minister on the basis of his or her management experience in the water sector. It is also to be overseen by an independent board of directors, mostly chosen from the private sector — again by the chief minister.

Mai Bibi has been bedridden for ten years since she lost the ability to walk due to water poisoning FROM THE SAAF PANI COMPANY !!!

PTUT sounds like a pindi channa blast.
Will automobile engineering involve water kit car technology, car bombs?
Will cloth design engineering result in better 'image of Pakistan' bedsheets and towels?
