IMF Loan and State Of Affairs

In less than eight years Pakistan is again standing at the door step of IMF after the false claims of Shoukat Aziz and Pervez Musharraf ,our economy collapsed as soon as they departed.

PM recent statement “we are lucky that we got IMF package because all were in row”gives a glimpse of dark shadows in ther minds of our rulers.

One wonders how can our PM afford such a large cabinet by giving them salaries from the IMF granted money and addind more ministers every day.

ON Nov,25 Pakistan got 3.10 bn dollars from IMF OF 7.60BN dollar package from IMF. IMF has asked pakistan to impose agricultural tax and postpone some development projects . To manage the deficit Pakistan will impose Tax in various sectors . IMF has said that next monitoring will be held in MID-March next year.

Pakistan is also looking for money from other financial giants but was linked with a comfort letter from IMF. Pakistan looking for 1.5 bn dollars from Asian development bank ,1.40 bn dollars from world bank ,500 million dollars fron Islamic development bank and about 1 bn u.s dollars from Britains Department for International development.

This is just needed for short term recovery and for medium term one government official said we need 15 bn dollars to recover and continue.

Salman Taseer a true Successor of Yahya Khan

The recent controversy about the photos of Governor Punjab has exposed his credibility and compelled the Public of this country to reconsider does he deserves to be at this honorary post?

It is well known to every one Governor Punjab was never a political man but due to his great influence in media  and Business sectors Musharraf  included in his Care taker Cabinet but later on he made him governor and PPP began to call him their man just like dogar is PPP man appointed by Musharraf.

In his latest statement Governor said; I donot fear of dirty language using people and i ask ministers not to challenge my authority. he further said “I donot write Love letters to Chief minister Punjab . IF CM has answers he should write to me and if he dont he should say he didnt have answers.

On the other hand Law minister of Punjab has said “Government is not answerable to Governor and Governor should read constitution instead of evening parties. He futher said”According to constitution ,Governor cant write letter to Government . The position of Governor is non-political,making Punjab’s a PPP fort doesnt suit Governor.

From Governor’s life style and outlook we can call him true predecessor of former military President Yahya Khan . It is our good fortune that Salman Taseer is just Governor and not President.

We Too need to be obamanian????

Nov ,5 has witness the biggest change in the winning of Obama. Countries like Pakistan can also dream of such change .

Many people think that Such change is also possible and needed in our country too but these people are often labelled optimistic by our ruling classes of today.

But , let us analyze whether there are any chances to find an Obama in our country who can overthrow 60  years of  defeat and corruption and misery . It is point of great hope and optimism that our media has opened up the minds of our lower classes and those labelled as tyrants and rude as well.

Over past decade one name that has came to lime light is that of Imran khan but his boycott of Feb ,18 elections has completely knock him out from our system but it is the time for Imran to launch mass support campaign like Obama did in his win because if our younger generation get involved in this then there will be no one  to even match him.

Obama win on Tuesday has been welcomed  by everyone around the world and President Zardari and PM Gillani has too congratulated Mr Obama.

Pakistan should start a new era of bilateral relations with America in Obama Presidency especially the fact that Obama from time to time has condemned the Bush’s policy of supporting a dictator adds to the fact that Obama wants to help strengthen democracy in Pakistan.

It will be interesting to note which policy he adopts once he enters White house but we too has to focus on out tribal areas because once cease fire is reached between all stake holders then it will be much easier for us to negotiate with America. Read more
