Pakistan Richest...

An email is circling these days about the richest Pakistanis ( http://www.teeth.com.pk/blog/2007/12/08/pakistans-rich-list-of-2008 ) and first thing you'll notice after going through with this list is not how they've struggle to achieve this but how easily they might have done that... I am not suggesting that it was walk in a park for them but reality is, they got all this money not because they worked hard with dedication and honesty, or there was a vision behind all this...

The lot includes Politicians, smugglers, land mafia owners... Not all of them are corrupt, many in this list are from honorable families (meaning those who've done something for this country as well) like Muhammad Ali Habib family, he gave Quaid-i-Azam Rs 80 Million cheque in 1948 when Pakistan government was penniless owing to delay in transfer of Pakistan’s share of Rs. 750 million by the Reserve Bank of India.

There are other good names as well but reader like me, will immediately realize that why so many politician or corrupts are listed there, why?

Musharaf, not leaving Pakistan

Another question which was raised after Pres. Musharaf resignation on August 18, how soon he will be leaving Pakistan like all other premiers? So far, my predictions about him never have gone wrong except the time he resigned. Maybe I was the first one who suggested in a gathering when he was promoted as COAS of Pakistan that if Nawaz Sharif try to remove him then he will not going to sit back like his predecessor, he will going to kick back and kick back strong.

I didn't predict this because I knew him very well but for two reasons. I never wanted Army to keep quite, if he tries this misadventure again and secondly, I've learned from somewhere he was a trained SSG and likes action... And what happened afterwards is now part of history as well.

The irony of this country is that whenever a coup takes place or new government comes (we curse the old and put welcome the new with flowers), moreover we put such high ladder of expectations for them that just after couple of years or say months, we start criticism them for not doing anything.

Anyways, my main topic is whether he will leave Pakistan or not... My opinion, I doubt if he will.

Is Zardari making right choice?

In some on my past blogs, I clearly stated earlier when there were rumors of Zardari putting his name as Prime Minister of Pakistan, and I was certain that this move will never help PPPP as party because the role played in India by Congress leader - Sonia Ghandi is increasing the popularity of her party by working behind the scene and strengthening party base throughout India.

Though one can not match the positions in which Zardari is currently in; there were over 30 active cases running on different courts in Pakistan including charges of murder, corruption and mass misconduct during Benazir two terms of PM. Ironically, all cases were made during Nawaz Sharif government. All political cases were withdrawn after introduction of NRO and only thing which can save him from anyone challenging this presidential order is, if becomes the president of Pakistan.

As Supreme Court of Pakistan can not call President, so any case which might come in-front of Chaudery Ifithar (once he is reinstated) challenging NRO or re-opening of Zardari cases, it will be disqualify itself as no hearing can be conducted on sitting President.

Whether this is a good move or not? Whether he deserves the presidency or not? Without going in to any details, he should have put PPPP and Pakistan's interest over his own...

My President Resigned Today...

Bad day for me and for my country!

President Pervez Musharaf resigned today, I wasn't expecting that but at bottom of my heart knew, he was left with no option but to resign (otherwise he would have invited more destabilization economically and politically). Many in Pakistan were jubilant on his decision but for me, it wasn't. He has done more good to Pakistan than any other politician or army ruler (except for its founder).

My best wishes to him and hope that he will not leave Pakistan and face all charges laid against him. He was a true spirit behind Pakistan's successful economical and political strength shown in last 8 years. He is a fighter and let history remember him like that as well.

Long Live Pakistan!
