CJP should bring Zardaris of Journalist Community to Book

جناب چیف جسٹس صاحب
اسلام آباد پریس کلب جسے غیر قانونی طور پر نیشنل پریس کلب کا نام دیا گیا ہے پر برسوں سے قابض ٹولے نے صحافت کے زرداریوں کاروپ دھار کر برادری کو لوٹنے کا سلسلہ شروع کیا ہوا ہے۔ انھوں نے کروڑوں کی کرپشن اور لاکھوں کی جائیدادیں بنائی ہوئی ہیں مگر انکا پیٹ ہے کہ بھرنے کا نام ہی نہیں لیتا۔یہ گروہ ہر ماہ کسی نہ کسی بہانے سے صحافیوں کے فنڈز میں خرد برد کرتا رہتا ہے جس کی وجہ سے انکی معیار زندگی شہزادوں جیسا ہو گیا ہے۔ اس گروہ کے ممبران کہیں نوکری نہ کرتے ہوئے بھی ایک رات میں کسی بھی صحافی کی پورے مہینے کی تنخواہ سے زیادہ کی شراب پی جاتے ہیں۔ یہ اپنی برادری کے حق میں بے رحم اور بازاری عورتوں کے حق میں رحمدل ہیں۔ اس بار کے الیکشن میں بھی بھاری تعداد میں جعلی ووٹ ڈلوائے گئے اور بڑی تعداد میں ان صحافیوں کے نام ووٹر لسٹ سے منہا کر دئیے گئے جن سے ووٹ ملنے کی امید نہیں تھی۔ یہ ٹولہ اب لینڈ مافیا سے مل کر غریب صحافیوں کو ملنے والے پلاٹوں کو ہڑپ کر رہا ہے جس کی اجازت نہیں دی جائے گی۔ جناب چیف جسٹس صاحب جس طرح آپ نے ملک کو کئی برائیوں سے نجات دلوائی ہے اسی طرح اس کرپٹ ٹولے سے بھی ہمیں نجات دلوا دیں تاکہ آپ کو ہزاروں صحافیوں اور انکے اہل و عیال اپنی دعاؤں میں ہمیشہ یاد رکھیں۔
شکریہ

Dear Media friends

Moin Khan, who is originally from Pakistan, has spent last four to five months on the road, spanning two continents on his Honda CBR 600 F4i sport bike. The 25,000-mile trek has taken him along the Pacific Coast of the US, through parts of Canada, with a long stretch across the Midwest ending in New York City. Khan has continued his journey in Europe riding through Germany, Switzerland, France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria.

In Romania, he hospitalized for one and an half month, due to a serious accident.

The final leg of the journey has taken him through Turkey and Iran, before riding through the heart of Pakistan into his hometown of Lahore.

He has reached Karachi and will leave for Lahore tomorrow(28th Dec) at 7:30 a.m. we should give proper coverage to this Pakistani.

For coverage his number in Pakistan

(For several years, Moin Khan had lived in Bay area, California, going to school at San Francisco State University where he studied International Business while also doing various part-time jobs. The news he would hear about his home country was rarely positive and was quite often depressing. From here, Khan developed the idea to do something positive for his country and help change the perception of Pakistan.
"You never really hear any good news about Pakistan," remarks Khan who is currently spending the night in Vancouver. "I wondered how I could play a part in improving the image of Pakistanis and I thought this great adventure gave me the opportunity to break stereotypes and tell people that Pakistan isn't really all that bad.")

Benazir Bhutto writes to General Ashfaq Pervez Kiayani

My dear Kiayani (saab), Salamalakum,
I hope you find this letter in good health and high spirits. Please accept my sincere condolences for the martyrdoms of the soldiers of our armed forces and those who died in the recent 'doctored and self inflicted' floods. I am quite satisfied and pleased with the hard work our armed forces are doing in the rescue and recovery front as well dealing with the criminals, drug dealers and Indo-US sponsored Tehrik Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
I am gravely concerned about Karachi situation and this statement 'inviting military to takeover' from outsourced MQM leader Altaf Hussain. It is a conspiracy against the Armed Forces. It would be a 'kiss of death' for the army and country to get into politics. I must say MQM (Altaf) has become a 'whore' working under foreign protection as well as entertaining them. Well you know how they transfer money in London from Karachi and which 'Tycoons' of Karachi provide money laundering. They are a bunch of selfish billionaires now who have lost their path. Their 'empowering the poor' ideology is worth following but now they are a 'mafia' of contract killers. 
I read in The Frontier Post, few years ago that when Pakistani and Indian forces were eye ball to eye ball, Altaf Hussain issued an internal memo to his party workers stating that: 'MQM workers to be remain neutral in case of war between Pakistan and India'. I know General Musharaf wanted to eliminate them but than he had to sleep with them on Yankee's request. 
Kiayni Saab, I frequently discuss Pakistan situation with Papa (Zulifqar Bhutto) who told me last night that greatest danger to Pakistan's sovereignty is "$$ dollar infected corrupt elite". Papa said, 'he is disgusted with Asif (Zardari) as because he is spearheading and main protector of these elites'. I must say some of your colleagues are also in this bunch and you know it very well.   
Papa (Z A Bhutto) got upset with the over influence of Qadiyani minority in Islamabad. He asked me to tell you that, "just before my judicial execution with US ropes and local hands, I told colonel Rafuddin (security chief in prison): "These Qadiyanis want the same influence in Pakistan as Jews in the USA i.e. 'all policies should be approved by them". I also told Rafi: 'I believe that God will forgive me for just declaring them non-Muslims with the approval of Parliament. If we look at their beliefs, surely they don't believe in the finality of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). (They have declared us all non-Muslims long time ago.) I just put the record straight. Papa said, 'my belief in God has proven to be true and here I am in heaven'.  
Kiyani saab, I must tell you that though 'Yankees' liked you to be a mediator for Musharaf but I liked you for other reasons since I knew you when you were my young Military Secretary. I find you a true patriotic son of the soil and brave soldier'.  
Kiayani (saab) I am very gravely concerned with the fact that 'Yankees' did not allow Pakistani Shabaz Air Base in Jacobabad, on Pakistani soil used for flood relief for Pakistanis.  What kind of contract you have signed which can not be revoked in extreme emergency i.e. life and death of Pakistanis?  
Kiayani (Saab), this is something that is for your ears alone. Papa (former Prime Minister Z A Bhutto) was quite cross about. He said: 'Tell me, after what they did to me, even to Ziaul Haq, let alone yourself Pinki (Benazir Bhutto), after all that sad and sordid saga of betrayal after betrayal, why our people are not able to come out of Yankee's Jadoo (magic)? Haven't they read Ayub Khan's aptly titled 'Friends Not Masters'?
I do understand Papa went on, Kiayani is in a tricky situation: he cannot so easily free himself from the bear's embrace but in Hamid Karzai he has a good role model. Karzai is a poodle that not only barks it can also bite. When it bites, they throw more bones at him. The point is, tell Kiayani, if he doesn't detach himself from this deadly embrace, they are going to ditch him any way as they are going to ditch their own president, Barak Obama. I am so far away from the ground where (Gen) Kiayani stands, nevertheless he has to act well before he is ditched.   
Smoothly 'Piyar Nal', he should try to walk away. The Yankees need Pakistan more than Pakistan needs them. You only need a small dose of cool courage.
I would like to suggest few things: 
  1. I would start survey for the future dams immediately.
  2. It will be a great idea if our army remains engage in reconstruction, rebuilding of the infrastructure i.e. rail, roads, bridges and communication lines.
  3. Specially urge to improve rail network as it is the most important and cheapest way of transport for the poor. May be you remember that after the WW-II Lawrence of Arabia destroyed the rail link,  even now Saudi rail link is only few hundred miles?
  4. You must be careful with selfish gold mining companies from Chile and elsewhere operating in Baluchistan, have same kind of 'dad'. They are also fanning this violence in Baluchistan as well as reportedly funding drone companies. Have a guess about who are buying world's gold and why? Is it a preparation for WW-III?   
  5. Why don't you ask our Chinese friends to assist us to improve our rail network? The ANP is on Lawrence of Arabia agenda to tell you the truth. 
  6. The idea of allowing or inviting foreign donor agencies to do the projects directly in Baluchistan and other sensitive areas sounds very fishy and may become a bigger problem.      
  7. I want you to be careful with the 'Indian gang' sitting with Asif (Zardari) as well as Nawaz (Shairf)'s flirting with the Indians.
Kiayni (saab) between you and me Asif (Zardari) only under stand (jota) shoes language. I am told an old shoeside bomber attacked him in Birmingham with his both shoes. Papa said, 'according to the local police there was a women's shoe also found at the scene'. I used to do target practice on him with crystal vases and my shoes which he always enjoyed. That is how he got that stupid 'grin'. 
Can you please tell Asif (Zardari) not to get blackmailed by this 'ambitious idiot' Rehman Malik. He wanted to be President of Pakistan and then he asked to make him Governor of Punjab.
I know Asif continued with Musharaf's Indianised Suliman Taseer and Eshart Abad Khan of MQM. Well Asif invited every one back in his party whom I kicked out of Bhutto's party. This shows how much he loves me?
Please can you give my sincere regards to your wife (bhabi) and children? I will be in touch and hope to hear from you soon.  
Best wishes and take care

Sincerely
Benazir Bhutto (Pinki)
Former Prime Minister of Pakistan

Journalists community is blaming for fraud and rigging in the NPC Islamabad election held on 26 December 20111. If we see the electorate list than number of people will be established out siders and hundred will be seen out of profession.  Qualification is another issue. New elector list should come up to as early as possible because people are making shaggy dog stories on winners these wnners should also look into that why car dealers and property dealers are members of the NPC.

Economic indicators positive, stock market most profitable: Arif Habib
Stockbrokers need seasoned leaders like Tariq Sayeed: CEO AHG
Unnecessary intervention in capital markets unacceptable: VP CACCI
Willing to pay taxes, not extraction, simple tax regime to attract investors

Islamabad: Dec 27

Leading stockbroker of the country Arif Habib on Tuesday said economy is improving but we are faced with a bigger problem of perception which needs to be changed for the sake of national development.

Speaking at a reception held in his honour by Ruhi Farzana Shafi, he said that our capital markets are one of the best in the world providing 31 per cent average return in the last ten years but it is also facing issue of image.

Arif Habib, Chairman and CEO of the Arif Habib Group said that interference in the capital markets haven't helped bring improvement.

He said that there is no Capital Gains Tax in most of the countries and system is not frequently altered in developed countries.

Calling for unity among stockbrokers, he said that we will not be able to get due rights as long as we are divided.

Arif Habib asked founder president of SAARC Chamber of Commerce and Islamic Chamber of Commerce Tariq Sayeed to lead the stockbrokers so that they can get their voice heard and their concerns addressed.

The former chairman KSE said that experience, national and international exposure, lifetime services and ability to convince authorities make an asset of Sayeed for the community which is facing multiple issues.

He asked to agents to elect Tariq Sayeed, Ayla Majeed and Muhammad Sahwani as directors of ISE for the upcoming elections scheduled on Dec 31st.

Speaking at the occasion, Tariq Sayeed, VP CACCI said that when CEO of a group who is managing assets in excess of Rs 40 billion says something about economy, it means a lot.

Insisting on universal best practices, he said that he is against proxy system in the capital markets which is not practiced anywhere in the world.

The veteran business leader said that he supports tax on stockbrokers but would not endorse extortion or unnecessary intervention.  

Tariq Sayeed further said that he will do everything to get stockbrokers their due rights including empowered boards and simple tax regime which will ensure flow of local and foreign investment.

Better regulation and supervision will reduce volatility, enhance capital mobilising ability, fair trading, better information disclosure and fuel rapid rise which was witnesses in 2002-06, he said.

He called upon the brokers to forge unity which will pave the way for integration of all the stock markets which to benefit all the stakeholders.

He lauded the services of outgoing President FPCCI Ghulam Ali hoping that he will continue to serve the business community.

Others present on the occasion included President FPCCI Ghulam Ali, Chairman FPCCI Capital Office Hameed Akhtar Chadda, Chairman Media FPCCI Malik Sohail, former Chairman ISE Abdul Waheed Jan, Mian Mahmood, Abdul Aleem Piracha and MM Hassan.
