Why not have a roving President who loves to remain away from
country, in fire or out of fire? He can throw few buckets of begged
dollars to give his input no matter what it costs to national
sovereignty and its pride. He must remain an absolute ruler more
despotic than his NRO mentor, Musharraf. He must trespass parliament
resolutions at will, delay inordinately passing peace accord on
nazame adle to appease Obama, adjouring parliament suddenly to
circumvent giving guideline (can he think of some giving him any
advice) before he left to meet his mentors in USA and brother Karzai,
enemy of Pakistan. While 15 lakh people of Swat, Malakand, Buner,
Dir etc region have been made refugees, he hops stops and jumps in
foreign capitals to get ton loads of fresh oxygen from his fond
cities.
Because, when he comes back, he cannot walk ten feet outside the
President prison house without costing nation one million dollars
for every occasion. Everything happens under the watch of PPP-AZ
toadies, MQM, MMA, ANP. Unfortunately Long March stopped at
Gujranawala gave the worst ever incompetent clout of PPP-AZ, MMA,
MQM, ANP government more opportunities to destroy national peace
into present tragedy where disintegration, insurgencies, separatism
movements starks us and poor have been plundered by few looters due
to the rampant corruption, misgovernance and incompetence. Let there
be new Long March to get country rid of the enemies, corrupts of
nation within and outside to save our independence. May Allah save
Pakistan, Amin! —Hyderabad
Presidential tour
Col Riaz Jafri (Retd)
There is a mixed reaction about President Zardari’s recent visit to
USA. Whereas the official spokesmen rate it as a great success,
others find instances in it to criticise. I for one found him
conducting himself reasonably well so much so that during the last
leg of his tour the President was exuberating a little over-
confidence than required. While addressing a small gathering or a
press conference yesterday in London Mr. Zardari used expressions
like, “I have asked my ambassador to ——-“ and “My Embassy here has
done ——“ probably conveying his total control over the affairs.
I though the Embassies and the Ambassadors were that of a country
and not of the Head of the State (unless he/she was a monarch). In
any case we don’t have an embassy or an ambassador in the UK. We
have a High Commission and a High Commissioner there. I hope, we are
still in the Common Wealth?! —Rawalpindi
Wither hockey coverage?
S Zafar
Pakistan has luckily reached the final of the Asia Cup Championship
2009 currently being played in Kuantan, Malaysia. But what a shame
that no television network, be it local or international, is
telecasting the tournament depriving tens of hundreds of hockey
lovers from the thrill of the game. Ironically, Pakistan’s national
game has come to such a pass that no TV channel is interested any
longer in showing this game for the passionate hockey lovers. Not
only that, our good old Radio Pakistan which used to make
arrangements of the audio coverage of the sports tournaments from
every nook and corner of the world in the past has given up this
policy for quite some time now. Furthermore, there is no website
which could keep the hockey lovers current on the match-to-match
situation of this important tournament. —Karachi
Ostriched democracy
Salman Ali
We are always right, our leaders gave sacrifices of lives, my
democracy, we inherited a worst economy and dictatorship, I do no
not know, I was in prison, India is in every Pakistani, Taliban
threaten me and world, last but not the least ‘I’ etc are the themes
PPP-Z rests its claim to rule more dictatorially than Musharraf. He
used kings party ML-Q, MMA, MQM, 58-2B, 17TH Amendment, blew to
winds respects of institutions and parliament, despotically
trespassed the constitutional norms of his non-partisan office etc
to prolong his rule and pattern goes on. However, there was yet one
redeeming feature of strong opposition of, ML-N, JI, TI, PPP-BB
later NROed into docility, till Mr Zardari threw out his NRO mentor
Musharraf to become totally subservient to USA, UK, NATO, India to
become worst ever dictator.
The worst goes on happening on national fronts; economic, security,
political, electricity, infrastructure, agriculture, industrial,
foreign affairs, FATA, Bolichistan, Swat due to the failed, in
sagacious, incompetence and flawed policies of PPP-Az dictated by
the President beyond his constitutional role with opposition voices
outside parliament mainly of Imran Khan or JI. MQM, MMA, sycophants
continue to remain steadfast with ruling party to let parliament
trampled under the diktats of President’s wishes. Unfortunately,
ML-N repeatedly stung by PPP-AZ breach of national promises remains
docile or tight lipped to pin point the horrendous wrongs of Mr
Zardari who cannot step out of his president house without costing
nation one billion rupees and opts to remain out of country lurching
it crisis to appease his mentors, USA, UK most of the time.
On Swat though entire nation is behind defense forces but ninety
percent are the wrong decisions of President’s policies responsible
for worst crisis in frontiers of Pakistan and Bolchistan. This party
must go and fresh, free, fair elections to save our country.
However, there should be earliest end to Fazalullah insurgency so
that two million refugees go back to their homes before it becomes
another volcano. God bless Pakistan. —Multan
What is the solution?
Sony Cheenabi
As you all know of the tragic quagmire of political, socio-economic,
insurgencies that sinks us deeper and deeper every day. Who is
responsible for it? It is incompetence, misgovernance,
inefficiencies, rampant corruption, loot and plunder, sky rocketing
profiteering and prices of bare essentials killing poor, casinos of
stock, estate, estate development, commodity, money markets,
unmerited appointment in institutions, cabinets, prevaricating
restoration of judges till 15th March 9, President acting most
partisan, indulging in worst partisan politics, ultra vires of
constitution, disrespecting parliament supermacy, appeasing USA, UK,
India, Afghanistan to execute the agenda of NRO mentors USA.UK and
holding on to 17th amendment, 58-2B etc.
This has also triggered present insurgencies, unrest, disintegrating
tendencies inflamed by India, Afghanistan, UK, USA. Another tragic
thing is that present government has lost is complete trust for
handling domestic and foreign affairs, breaching, backtracking on
pledges. The best and immediate solution of present quagmire is that
present government and President must go and caretaker national
government is formed to save the country from disintegration as
aimed by India, UK, USA. Musharraf must also be tried for his
treacheries. —Mandi Bahudin
