No Quaid pic but PPP flags all over Islamabad on Quaid Day
Posted by K. Shahzad in Inside Story on December 27, 2010
On 25 December major portion of capital city Islamabad the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) flags were all over the city but didn’t saw even one picture of founder of nation considering 25th of December was birthday of our great leader/founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Flags are there to remember a former PPP politician Baynazir Bhutto who was killed 27th of Dec 2007.
According the Capital Development Authority (CDA) rules any banners or holdings etc can’t be hanged out there more than three days in the city of Islamabad, but people in ruling party seems to break these rules by themselves as last year same flags seem out there on roads for moths till they torn up by weather and winds. Similarly this year on Islamabad highway these flags were put up many days earlier and will remain lots more days for sure.
Keeping the flags issue on side they would also have put up some pics of Quaid-e-Azam and his sayings – which are great motivation to Pakistanis as nation – out there but that just didn’t happened. Current leadership of country have forgotten the real leaders of country and made some of their own and pic spots in meetings or other events are also taken by these re-created leaders instead of the Founder of nation.

Power tariff to be raised 2 percent every month
Posted by K. Shahzad in Inside Story on November 2, 2010
A meeting held with IMF officials in Islamabad. IMF have criticized the progress of our government in raising the taxation and power tariff over recent past. 35 percent power tariff hike was to be adjusted in this year’s power tariff increase, now this will be adjusted by adding 2% of power tariff hike every month. Already past month have seen such 2% hike and 2% for this month as well will be added this month. This will continue till next eight months and policy is to be revised in next budget.
Continues power tariff hike is no good for the country, as this means continues inflation as production costs of all goods depend on power. Power tariff goes up, production costs go up, so the inflation. So who is responsible for this all, off-course the impracticable and faulty policies of this government which have led country to again lend from IMF.
Seems like current government does not even have policies and plans, things are just moving and getting worse each day. Its time for the current political party in government to start planning things and make them right if they want to be elected from some part and time for people to wake up analyze and choose the right or better people next elections.
Every murder is not target killing claims government
Posted by K. Shahzad in Inside Story on October 31, 2010
Currently target killing is the biggest problem of Karachi. People are scare of leaving their houses and going to public places in fear that they will even be able to come back safely or not. Now for months the conditions are same and getting worse day by day, government which was supposed to take some solid measures to put an end to such a violence seems to come up with excuses every now and then.
Now in a recent conversation with media the interior minister said that every murder can’t be said the target killing. Yes this is very true you can’t categorize every murder as target killing but you can’t use this as an excuse for Karachi as the massive amount of killings in that city are the target killings.
And even despite those killings are target killings or just murders it is responsibility of those who are in power to stop such a violence. If the correct measures would have taken on time, the target killing of Karachi would have been very much thing of the past but we are just used to listen these kind of lame excuses.
Its target killing or not, it does not matter at all, everything which matters is how the current people in power are handling these things, they better take care of these things soon or wait for people to finally decide to wake up and not to choose them in next elections. Allah Bless this country.
20 more Parliamentarians with fake degrees
Posted by K. Shahzad in Inside Story on October 24, 2010
What a disgrace that this country is being run by illiterate idiots who can’t even honestly complete their own education honestly. How on earth such illiterate parliamentarian can run the country.
Latest in this regard is that Election Commission have summoned 20 more parliamentarians, among them 13 are from Punjab, Sindh and Baloachistan Assemblies and the Members of national assemblies are Jawad Hussain, Deewan Aashiq, Mir Ahmed N. Bugti and Hussain Bukhari. Way back in July this year the number of these fake degrees was reached 47 and now we have lots more such cases.
Real insult to injury is that how these evil souls reached to assemblies. Didn’t we have a procedure to check the documents of before even they qualify to get elected. Yes we do have procedure but current happenings are clear proof that its very much far from anything effective. A desperate need to bring that verification system up to the mark is still there, hope election commission gets the degrees of candidates verified before they are cleared to take part in elections but not after they have been in government for years and made lots of mess.
May Allah Bless this country & people living in it and keep all kinds of corrupt evil living souls away from power.
Bloggers from Pakistan where is the bright side
Posted by K. Shahzad in Inside Story on July 5, 2010
I have been an active Internet surfer from long time ago, so have been monitoring the bloggers from Pakistan from long time. In fact their role was very much good in pointing out the evils of society. Bloggers even came forward and presented the stories which were avoided by media in fear of losing their financial gains or liberty to operate.
I see lots of positive criticism on the Pakistani blogs, specially the one which is related to politics, I also see posts which point out the evils of society and I also see the pictures which depict something which is happening wrong somewhere. I know this all content on Pakistani blogs is intended for good, intended to correct the things and I am perfectly good with this.
But the problem kicks in when I notice that the goods of society are no more depicted or presented on blogs. Everyone tries to change the world by pointing out the evils but not one or less of people come up with a post which is showing a good part of society.When I am saying this all I am also including myself in this. The point is that I have to grab the attention of fellow bloggers to letting the world know about the good part of Pakistani society.
By good part I mean the care we people still have for each other, by good part I mean “when an accident happens on a highway, people think nothing but rush in to help”, by good part I mean “when on some highway or a city road a vehicle gets stuck, you will see a number of people who are available to help you out” and these were two very basic examples our society have lots much good to offer. Where is that content, show me that content, show me those pictures and videos.
A person living in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad or any other city or village of this country does not need any online content, photo or video to know these good things but the people who are outside of this country do need this stuff. Even the negatives are posted to take the things on correct path, but the international web user is always getting the negative content about this content, what would be his/her thoughts and feeling about people of Pakistan.
So my point is that to have the balance, we have to redesign ourselves to offer the content which is already based on positive stuff in the society with obviously not giving up on pointing out the evils.
