While Imran Khan is Riding Atop his 50, Million worth of Air-conditioned and Bullet Proof container in Islamabad and Given Sermons of Honesty and of Transparency , In reality PTI is a Party of People who are Most Corrupt and Dishonest then  any other party in Pakistan .

STORY OF MR SYED WAQAR SHAH CABIN CREW: 

Personal  Number 61132 of PIA.

Department Cabin Crew and Brief Work experience as Ad-hoc Flight Service Bases Manager Relationship : Son of Sister of Asad Qaiser 

This story is about Mr Syed Waqar Shah . He used to Live in a two room house in Slums near the Airport in Swati Phattak Area , and had a Honda 70 CC Motorcycle and now he owns a Premio car worth 3, Million and a 5 Crore 2000 yards home in Hayatabad Peshawar and has Job of Special Secretary to Pakhtunkwa Government of Pakhtunkwa in Grade -19 , with salary in Millions.

How he managed that while he is Junior Cabin Crew in group 5 ( Non Officer group) . Just Because he is Son of Sister of Mr. Asad Qasier of PTI of Imran Khan who is the Speaker of Pakhtunkwa Assembly and also Member of PTI as he Promised to raise Cabin Crew Union belonging to PTI in PIA.

 What Is revealed as Fact would shock you core and ask yourself does Imran Khan work for Devil or Devils Advocate that they are bending the Rules and Appointing a Person with Zero Management Experience and also a Drug Baron and with links to Drug Mafia? As Special Secretary of Pakhtunkwa Assembly on 18 December 2013.

 According to the News as reported here, 

FAKE MBA DEGREE WITHOUT ANY CLASS ROOM ATTENDANCE: 

Mr. Waqar Shah who is Son of Sister of Asad Qasier of PTI and worked as Cabin Crew in PIA before December 18 2013 , and has no Management Experience and He has Acquired an MBA degree while on Job in PIA as Cabin Crew and Delivering refreshments in the Air .

 It may be noted that MBA is a Full time degree and requires 2 years of class Room Study and he has no 2 years class Room Attendance to Prove that he did the Degree of MBA while being on Duty and Serving refreshments in PIA .

His Degree is Illegal and he has not done Any MBA study Period and has obtained this Degree from a University through a Bribe and is a Fake Degree.

FAKE EXPERIENCE IN MANAGEMENT: 

Secondly while in PIA he was Appointed as Ad-hoc Briefing Manager for which he had no expertise and Neither the Grade or Group 7 Job as he was Serving in PIA in Group 5 , and has only 4-5 Years experience only just as steward of PIA serving Tea and Refreshments .

He had also Applied for Mover Over to Group 6 on basis of an MBA , which was denied as PIA has reversed this Policy for People who are not in Management and Administration of PIA as he was Crew not management .

Against which he went to Peshawar High court but was Court Moved Against him and giving a Decision that move over is not Legal and not according to PIA Policy, he applied for Appeal which was turned down as well.

BENDING RULES OF PIA VIA BRIBES AND POLITICAL INTERFERENCE:

Mr Syed Waqar Shah was Appointed as Ad-hoc Briefing Manager the real Briefing Manager Mrs. Jannat Jamshed wife of Khyber TV Director Mr. Jamshed Khan, who is Senior to him and is in Grade 7 with more the 15-18 Years of Experience is still manager in PIA Human resource Records, as Proper Briefing Manager was posted to Catering Department on Temporary Basis to Accommodate Mr. Waqar Shah who was her Assistant as Flying Crew as Ad-hoc Briefing manager .

This was done by bending the Rules and According to Rules Waqar Shah Cabin Experience cannot be counted as Management as he was cabin Crew in Designation and not Designated as Manager as Briefing Manager job is related to Management and require Scheduling Experience of at least 10 Years which he did not have at all.

He was a Cabin crew / Air Hostess and nothing more then that , his Duties Schedule is still Active in PIA even Today ,his pay slip is still that of cabin crew , as being a Cabin crew he cant be in Management as it is a Different Department and he never relinquished his duties in cabin Crew Department till he joined as Secretary of Pakhtunkhwa Assembly on 18^th December 2013.

Neither he was a manager neither he was having 10, Year experience, the PIA bended it rules because the District Manager Mr. Sahibzada Tariq Mehmood was from his Swabi Village and a Fellow Qadiani and he was Appointed on this Post and he also took bribe of Rs 500,000 from Mr Syed Waqar Shah and Mr. Syed Waqar Shah used to Send 2000, us Dollars as Bhatta as well to High Ups in head Quarters Karachi of PIA to maintain this Post to Allot flights to his Favorites by charging US 50 Dollars for each flight.  

This Shocking revelation is true and can be confirmed from Any body working in PIA , other wise why a Junior with 4 Years experience can be accommodated in a Post for which at Least  GP-7 is and Management Experience is required according to PIA own Laws and experience of at least 10 Year and it requires an inquiry into these Matter by Competent Authorities . 

 DRUGS IN OFFICE OF SYED WAQAR SHAH :

While serving as Ad-hoc and junior Base Manager Flight service at Bacha Khan International Airport Mr. Syed Waqar Shah was found to be in Possession of Heroin in His office of which was recovered by the Anti Narcotics in his Office, and was duly verified to be Heroin of 990 Gram or 1 Kilo at 1100 hrs on 12^th of July 2012.

This is demonstrated by the copy of FIR below which is obtained from Anti-Narcotics and it clearly shows it.

When this happened the Keys to his office was in his Possession and he was In charge of his office, how come somebody can put this heroin of about 1 KG in his office without his Knowledge and without Possession of the Keys to his office , it may be Noted that PIA never did any Inquiry into this Matter in Violation of its Rules and regulations of PIA and Civil Aviation both .  

Which Points to fact that Mr. Syed Waqar Shah did have means to bribe the Civil Aviation to which the Bacha Khan Airport Belongs and also PIA where he was Serving and Also the Local PIA Top Boss who is Mr. Sahibzada Tariq Mehmood as District Manager Peshawar in PIA.

It is clear fact that demonstrate his links with drug Mafia and access to money also with PTI  who could Manipulate the PIA + the Anti Narcotics and Civil Aviation ( Run by Army and Air force Officers by Bribing and corruption )

FIR was Lodged in Anti-Narcotics Department run by Army Offices in uniform  is also has a Questionable role was why when Heroin was found in such Sensitive Places as the Bacha Khan Airport in office of Incompetent and Politically connected Person to PTI Asad Qasier Relative  Syed Waqar Shah was not changed to a case and why no further Enquiry and further Investigation was carried out ?.

Why Anti Narcotics did not complete its Investigation and why it did not catch a culprit points to political Interference and corruption, Under PTI

ILLEGAL CREATION OF JOB AS SPECIAL SECRETARY PAKHTUNKHWA :

In order to save Mr. Syed Waqar Shah Relative of Assad Qasier of PTI ( Who was Previously Jamaat Islami as leader ) a Scheme was Launched to transfer him out of PIA on Deputation via a Job In Grade -19 of Special Secretary to Asad Qasier, was not Present but was Specially created for him bending Rules , he still never relinquished his Job as Cabin crew as Junior Gp-5 Person Cabin Crew having only 4-5 Years of Service in PIA, has zero Experience in  Management Post of Briefing Manager Flight Service is now a Special Secretary .

Why such Post Is created by Imran Khan party who claims to be honest while the Facts are contrary to reality .

ROLE OF RELIGIOUS PARTIES AND PTI IN CORRUPTION :

It is concerning how ,a Job was created for an Incompetent man with heroin Popping up in his office in at 1100 hrs on 12 July 2012.

This Job was Created by Acknowledgement of Jamaat Islami head of Jamaat Islami Mr. Siraj Ul haq as Finance Minister of Pakhtunkwa and special budgets was Allocated for it from poor Pakistan tax payers money at that time.

Role of Asad Qasier in corruption is more the Evident .

ROLE OF CIVIL SERVANTS IN CORRUPTION :

Also the Aviation Secretary under which both PIA and Civil Aviation and ASF works, he  is Involved who did not do Investigations of Drugs at Bacha Khan International Airport in Mr. Syed Waqar Shah Office.

Also the Director Civil Aviation who Allowed this Transfer of this Drug Baron and also un Experience and not Qualified Person while not doing any Investigation of drugs in his office .

Thirdly the Anti Narcotics did not do its Job after Launching an FIR and Nabbing the Culprit of this National Shame.

How a PIA corporation Steward was deemed fit to be Transferred from federal Government to Provincial Government of Pakhtunkwa of Unqualified and Inexperience Person and with Moral turpitude of Heroin and Drugs in His office worthy of being a Special Secretary ?

 Those who allowed this and without going into the Personal file and looking into this matter is also Criminals and are liable to Answer to people of Pakistan .

Furthermore in a Nutshell

      

1.  PIA        
2.  Civil Aviation
3.  Anti Narcotics
4. Police
5.  ASF
6. Media of Pakistan

Did nothing to Punish or do any Inquiry into this Matter, OF Grave concern and which made his office a  matter of shame and his office at Bach Khan Airport closed for 2 days and also not reported in media but still the high ups are not pushed about it .

Why such Shameful person as Mr Syed Waqar Shah is rewarded in Pakistan just because he is related to Asad Qasier of PTI and he is Secretary to Speaker Pakhtunkwa Assembly and is assisting him in Haram Khori and also selling the Jobs in his constituency and also making Haram Illegal money , he has kept a Steward of PIA as his Personal Secretary while he is paid from hard earned tax Payers money .

Is it because of his Political links? This is answer that has to be asked from those responsible.

ROLE OF MEDIA IN CORRUPTION :

When this was happening Samaa TV reported about this but the General Media Neglected it and was not reported by order of Whom here is clip:

DOUBLE PAY SLIPS REWARD FOR A CRIMINAL:

His PIA Pay Slip is Given Below: 

His Pay slip is showing Flying Allowance as he was Cabin Crew in Flight Services Department till the Last day that is 18^th December 2013 when he Joined as Special Secretary of Pakhtunkwa on Deputation and it also shows lack of PIA in Punishing him or making an Enquiry into his Alleged drugs recovery from his office according to FIR shown above and also that of Civil Aviation who Posses and Administrate the Bach Khan Airport and his office is under Civil Aviation.

IT may be noted that he continued to take salary from PIA while he was taking salary from Pakhtunkwa Government at the same time . what a Shame for People of Pakistan .

WHY PTI IS REWARDING A CRIMINAL :

Mr. Syed Waqar Shah Son of sister of Assad Qasier wants to be Next PTI , Head of Union of PTI as Cabin crew and this Is reason a Criminal is facilitated like and this and has been confirmed by his close friend and he want to be their President , and this explain the Weight behind him of PTI and Assad Qasier .

Furthermore in TOR , or Terms of Reference it is written that he is assisting the Speaker Asad Qasier in his work in constancy of construction and other Administrative things like what ? how can a Steward do construction he is not even a Civil Engineer ?

This is Joke of Highest order and is not Naya Pakistan or Tabdeli but it is Status quo

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Pervez Khattak signs the budget document at Civil Secretariat, Peshawar on Saturday. — INP



PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has raised the ratio of provincial taxes by making amendments to various laws pertaining to the stamp duty, professional institutions, business establishments, agriculture income and salaries.

Finance Minister Sirajul Haq presented the provincial budget for fiscal 2014-15 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly on Saturday.

According to the Finance Bill, the government has levied an annual tax of Rs330 on all those persons engaged in any profession and trade having an income of Rs10,000, but not exceeding Rs20,000. “A person whose income is between Rs200,000 and Rs500,000 will be liable to pay Rs10,000 tax per annum,” it stated.

Employees of the federal and provincial governments drawing pay in basic pay scale 1 to 4 have been exempted from tax. All employees from BPS-5 to BPS-20 and above will pay tax. The BPS-20 and above grade officers will have to pay Rs20,000 tax a year.
Ratio of taxes for many private entities increased

All limited companies, modarbas, mutual funds and other corporate concerns with paid-up capital and reserves in the preceding year and with income not exceeding Rs10 million will have to pay a tax of Rs18,000. Each will have to pay Rs100,000 if the income exceeds Rs200 million.

Persons other than limited companies, owning factories, commercial establishments, private educational institutions and private hospitals are liable to pay tax. Any commercial establishment having 10 or more employees will have to pay Rs10,000 tax, while private hospitals having up to 50 employees will have to pay Rs50,000 tax a year. Each of the private medical colleges and private engineering institutes running degree programmes will have to pay Rs100,000 tax.

Private business educational institutes having up to 100 students will have to pay Rs70,000 and private law colleges Rs100,000 tax, while education institutes charging monthly Rs5,000 per student will have to pay Rs100,000 per annum.

The government has also levied tax of Rs4,000 on holders of import or export licence, who has an income of Rs50,000 in the preceding year. A clearing agent or approved custom house agent will have to pay Rs10,000 per annum. An IATA approved travel agent and hajj and tour operator will have to Rs15,000 annual fee each.

The government has also levied tax on restaurants/guesthouses and professional caterer, who will be paying Rs15,000 annual tax. The wedding halls will be charged Rs30,000 a year. Specialist doctors and dentists will have to, respectively, pay Rs20,000 and Rs15,000 professional tax a year. Besides this, diagnostic and therapeutic centres, including pathological and chemical laboratories, are also included in the tax net.

The petrol/diesel/CNG filling stations, video shops, real estate shops/ agencies, car dealers and net cafes, chartered accountants, vehicle service stations, transporters, members of stock exchange companies, money changers, jewellers, cable operators, printing presses, pesticides dealers, health fitness centers/gymnasium, departmental stores, electronic goods stores and tobacco whole sellers have been levied with various ratios of taxes ranging between Rs1000 and Rs15,000.

On the one hand, the government has announced 10 per cent increase in the salaries, on the other it imposed various taxes on the salaried class. Finance Minister Sirajul Haq, during his budget speech, said that it was a tax-free budget, but taxes imposed on services and trades belied his claim.

PTI one year report card- Worst Government in History and a Disaster

By Shah Zalmay Khan

It was early June 2013 - the first week after PTI took over government in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa when I wrote this:

Elections season 2013 is over, PTI has got two proving grounds now - the first a coalition government role in KPK and the second an opposition role at federal level. Our performance in both these proving grounds will brighten or darken our prospects in future politics especially 2018 elections. What should PTI do to ensure it reaps the greatest dividends in both roles? The answer is

PTI must synchronize both these roles so that its opposition voice at federal level should aid its governance at KPK level.



Pervez Khattak: Change PTI can believe in, No?

A year has passed since I wrote these lines and now I feel is the right time for introspection - has PTI been able to implement what was needed?

There are many achievements to quote, frankly. Improvement in police/patwari system, a positive change in governance style, minimized top-level corruption, some brilliant law-making, inspirational social services initiatives, sound health and education initiatives, to count a few.
But is that enough? Has PTI been able to do what was expected from it by its electorate (read Pakhtuns) who stood up to Imran Khan's call for CHANGE?

I, being a Pakhtun PTI voter & supporter, would sadly say NO (partially). PTI has not been able to do ALL that was expected - not because it lacks the capacity but perhaps because it has not done the proper homework.

Having said that - the logical question is: Why I think PTI has not done enough? Well I have my reasons for believing so. I narrate each point in some detail.

Net Hydel Profit (NHP)

Few facts about this issue are in order, before moving any further:

Article 161 (2) of the constitution guarantees the payment of Net Hydel Profit (NHP) to the province where a hydel project is located. The formula for payment of NHP was devised by the famous A.G.N Kazi Committee and is known as Kazi Committee Mechanism (KCM).

According to the KCM formula KPK's share in NHP for 1991-92 was Rs 6 Billion (with a provision for annual increase in accordance with electricity tariff increase), however, the Govts of Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto flouted this consensus committee decision and NHP for KPK was capped at Rs 6 Billion for years.

During the MMA government (2002-2007), KPK took a stand on the issue in Supreme Court and thus an Arbitration Tribunal was formed to resolve the dispute which ruled partially in favour of KPK govt and decided that an annual increment of 10% over the capped amount of 6 Billion be paid to KPK govt. 

It was agreed that Federal government will pay an amount of 100 Billion as arrears for the capped NHP amounts from 1991. These amounts were to be paid to KPK in 4 equal instalments of 25 billion each. The annual NHP for 2013 alone (according to the arbitration decision) amounts to more than Rs 40 Billion.

Sadly the Federal Government is using delaying tactics even after the mutually agreed arbitration decision and only 6-8 Billion per year is paid as NHP instead of 40 Billion.


But the real shocker is yet to come - for the first time in last 23 years, federal government has NOT paid even the 6 billion to KPK this year. 

And guess what? PTI and KPK government have not pursued this issue the way they should have. 

This is the biggest violation of the federation's spirit and PTI has taken this without much hue & cry. PTI - specifically KPK government - must answer why it failed to get KPK's basic right for Pakhtuns? If they cannot safeguard a legally protected right of Pakhtuns, how will they fight for their political rights? Key questions arise:


How much hue & cry has been made on this issue in the media (except few passing references here & there)?

How many times have letters been written to concerned federal circles and the same followed up through official channels & supported by sufficient media campaign?

How many times has Imran Khan specifically talked about this issue in the past one year? How many major protests have been done on the issue?

How many times has KPK assembly (under PTI) passed resolutions against this injustice with Pukhtoons?

How many times have PTI MNAs raised this issue forcefully in the NA and staged walk out or boycott of NA proceedings to press their point?

Why has KPK government still not knocked the SC door against this blatant violation of the constitution?There is NO - I repeat NO - justification for federal government to not pay the NHP amount to KPK. But it exposes the inefficiency or laxity (or both) of PTI and KPK govt too, in having not sufficiently pursued the issue..

Load-shedding

A few facts of KPK electricity generation/demand are in order:


KPK's electricity production = more than 4000 MW of highly economical hydel power (Tarbela, Warsak, Malakand I, II, III, Khan Khwar, Allai Khwar, Duber Khwar, Gomal Zam etc).
Peak production of KPK (summer) = Around 4400 MW.
Peak demand of KPK (also in summer) = Around 2500 MW.
What KPK gets from PEPCO (summer) = Just 1000-1400 MW.
During winter KPK's power production drops to as low as 2200 MW but so does its power demand (1000-1200 MW)Summary: At all times of the year - KPK's power production exceeds its demand by at least 1000-1500 MW (means surplus whole year - no shortage).


Now coming back to the problem. KPK faces the worst loadshedding all round the year (situation worsens in summers). Industrial activities (if any left) in the province have come to a halt & people have been made psychological patients by the long unscheduled power outages (18-20 hours in some areas). PTI (and its KPK govt) were expected to raise this issue with federal government and also in the Council of Common Interests (CCI). PTI did raise the issue occasionally - but only half heartedly and without the essence of a planned strategy - this has not been made a core issue. PTI MNAs (especially those from KPK) have NOT done enough to follow this issue up in National Assembly either.

Tarbela

Some people (mostly PMLN) say Tarbela dam was built with federal investment, so its electricity is federal property too. This is the most lame thing ever heard (and accepted sadly). A few info bits about Tarbela dam are in order here:


Opened 1976. Peak production (summer) ~ 3500 MW.
Average ~ 2500-3000 MW (least is 1800 MW when run-off river only).
Annual output ~ 15 billion Kwh (units).
Annual profit ~ Rs 50 billion.
KP gets Rs 6 billion NHP (10% p.a raise acc to AGN Kazi formula never given)Federal government's investment has already been returned as financial break-even has been achieved in 1990s. Federal government has been earning full profits for the last 2 decades (since 1990s). Now the asset should be KPK property since it is KP's land & water resources that were originally utilized.
A legal issue that KPK govt should somehow pursue (if possible) is that Tarbela Dam was built without consent of KPK govt, technically (since NWFP was part of 'One Unit' at the time of starting of Tarbela project). Is it legal for the federal govt to undertake such a mass-scale project (without consent of the concerned province) involving eternal utilization of resources (in this case water & land) of a province and from which federal govt will later earn profits without sharing it with the concerned province? I am a not lawyer myself so I can't deliberate any further.

The point to stress is that PTI and KPK govt have failed to properly take up and pursue this issue too. Whenever there is loadshedding problem, PTI reps let PMLN's rant about 'Bijli Chori' overshadow this grave injustice faced by Pukhtoons.

Out of scores of feeders across KPK, if there are line losses or theft or recovery issues at a few feeders (as Abid Sher Ali says), then why 16-18 hours loadshedding is faced by people in the feeders where recovery is nearly 100%? PTI reps have failed to logically counter Abid Sher Ali's rant (perhaps due to lack of sufficient homework) and so PMLN gets away with its blatant lies on the issue and PTI can't sell its truth even.

Provincial Electricity Generation


KPK is blessed with abundant water resources and sites have been identified for small and medium hydropower projects at several locations in Malakand and Hazara Divisons. Some projects (nearly 1000 MW) are already in the feasibility, implementation or completion phases. If utilized fully, KPK alone can give Pakistan thousands of MW of highly economical hydel power. Yes KPK has an ambitious provincial energy plan under way that aims at adding at least 1000 MW to KP's production by 2018 and another 2000 MW by 2022. However, there are barriers - legal, financial and political.

The main legal barrier is that provinces can't undertake projects exceeding 100 MW (so PMLN guys are simply upto BS when they taunt PTI saying why KP doesn't produce own electricity - it can't, legally).

Main financial barrier is that KP govt's own resources are limited even for projects of upto 100 MW so it needs loans from institutions like ADB or WB. However, provincial govts on their own can't seek loans from international institutions - they have to route it through federal govt. And here is where the political barrier (the biggest props up).

The main political barrier is that PMLN's federal govt can not afford to see PTI's provincial govt deliver on its promises - its a sort of political suicide. So federal govt has turned down PTI govt's requests for the needed foreign sponsorship for its energy projects.

But my issue is with the conduct of PTI and KP govt on this issue too. How many people know about these facts? If public doesn't know - whose weakness it is? PMLN will understandably play its games (I don't blame them because their survival depends on PTI's failure in KPK) but why PTI is sleeping on the issue? Why PTI has not taken up this serious violation of federation's spirit at every public/legal forum - is beyond me, yet again.

Micro Hydel Plants - Sustainability Questions


The hilly districts of Malakand and Hazara Divisions have hundreds of micro hydel power (MHP) stations where electricity is generated and consumed locally by the communities with support from govt / NGOs. A major problem with these projects is technical and management sustainability i.e. the implementing agency / government forgets about the MHPs once they are commissioned. Since the technical awareness and expertise of the communities is limited, the plants run into trouble soon, with nobody to assist technically. KPK government should have run a project to identify all such ailing MHPs and apply the lessons learnt from the AKRSP (Aga Khan Rural Support Program) model whereby continued technical assistance is provided to communities in order to manage scores of MHPs in Chitral and GB. This way KPK government would have been able to reduce the sufferings of populations living in isolated hilly communities (not too late for that even now frankly).

Sadly, the focus of PTI govt today is on the hullabaloo of installing new MHPs (350+ being quoted) while the already installed hundreds of plants are slowly dying due to government indifference. 

While this may be politically rewarding in the short run but they do not contribute towards solution of the problem in the long run. About time KPK government took the bosses of relevant departments like SRSP and PEDO to task and asked them one simple question:
"Ever heard of the term sustainability"?

Security Issues especially in Peshawar Valley

PTI was elected by Pakhtuns due to 3 main reasons:

1. Eradication of Corruption.
2. Change in SYSTEM of governance (Patwari/police/health/education).
3. Peace, security, law & order

While PTI endeavours in the first two areas are satisfactory - peace & security have remained largely illusive so far. Though efforts have been made to improve security in the province, fruits of the same are not clearly visible especially in the capital Peshawar and nearby districts of Charsadda and Swabi. In fact Peshawar suburbs on the FATA border (on three sides) are becoming 'FATA 2.0' practically. What are the reasons for this apparent failure? Lets analyse the same briefly:

FC (Frontier Constabulary) is the force that is supposed to act as a buffer between KPK and FATA by manning the exit/entry routes of FATA and posts on the 1000 km long KPK-FATA border. But guess what? Around 200 platoons of FC are attached on duties outside KPK i.e. Islamabad, Karachi etc. 

This means thousands of KPK security personnel are performing duties outside KPK while our own province is burning; sounds like a big terrible joke. 

ANP govt failed to settle this issue in 5 years & same is the case with PTI till now. Peshawar High Court has already given a judgement to this effect in November 2012 but still KPK govt has not been able to get these soldiers back despite being in power for 1 year. Note: People generally confuse this FC (Frontier Constabulary) with another force, also named FC (Frontier Corps). Difference is that Frontier Constabulary is entirely a civilian force led by police officers while Frontier Corps is a para-military force led by serving army officers.

Peshawar is the heart of Pakhtun lands - a place where Pakhtuns from every part of KPK and FATA (and even Afghanistan) turn to when they face trouble in their home town. 

However, law & order in Peshawar has worsened steadily over the past few years (yes during PTI's one year too, despite efforts). Kidnapping for ransom, target killing, extortion and organized attacks on Peshawar suburbs especially those on Khyber/Darra border are becoming a norm. 

PTI and KPK government were expected to take up the issue of attacks into Badhber, Mattani etc (in Peshawar) and into Shabqadar (in Charsadda) from within limits of FATA (under federal control). 

Irony is that militants can openly cross over into KPK from FATA to attack border villages but KPK police can NOT pursue them into FATA when they flee upon return (due to legal/jurisdiction issues). 

This has made law & order in Peshawar and Charsadda a joke and PTI performance (as a party on federal level) and as a provincial government has been disappointing on the issue, to say the least.

Some good lawmaking has been done by PTI in KPK to restrict the boarding / lodging / movements of terrorists (e.g the Restriction of Rented Buildings and Hotels Ordinance). However, implementation of these laws is not visible. KPK govt should have made Peshawar a test-case for implementation of these laws and ensured that every rented accommodation or hotel is accounted for. Not the case sadly - and no one else is to blame for this, except PTI.

Identity Question of Tribal Pakhtuns - Mainstreaming FATA





Though PTI could grab only 1 MNA seat in FATA, the sentiments of FATA Pakhtuns for PTI or Imran Khan were/are no different from KPK Pakhtuns. Being a tribesman myself, I can vouch for the fact that people love Imran Khan just like a son or a brother. So when PTI won a share in National Assembly and government in the Pakhtun land (KPK), the tribesmen expected PTI to become their voice. And Imran Khan did prove to be the tribesmen's voice on the issues of drones and indiscriminate operations (full marks on that). However, one area that PTI absolutely failed to address is the identity question of Tribal Pakhtun.


What are we (we tribesmen ask)?

Are we Pakistanis at all? If we are, why Pakistan's constitution is not applicable to our land?
Why we are still living under the colonial instrument of oppression known as FCR?
Why the 70 Lacs of us are being treated as criminals - acceptable collateral damage? Why our land is the staging ground for 'Strategic Games'?


Two generations have been ruined in the latest war just because our land is 'Lawless' - and that is what gives everyone the justification to attack, bomb, drone, shell & maim us; be it the terrorists, the military or the US drones.


Coming back to PTI's indifference on the issue (yes I call it indifference because one year is a long enough duration for at least some activity in this regard). I have pointed this out before, am pointing it out today and will keep doing so in future too:


PTI has failed (till now) to put ANY concerted efforts into giving us tribesmen our identity, our name, our basic rights. No resolution by PTI's KPK assembly; no resolution by PTI's MNAs in National Assembly; and no protest by Imran Khan over our 2nd-class citizenship status in Pakistan. Period.


Conclusion

With all that written above, I may have painted a very bleak picture of PTI's performance. That is not, however, the case.
PTI has done some wonderful work in the areas of governance and system reforms which I have been highlighting in my writings. Laws like RTI, RTS, Ehtesab Law will go a long way in making KPK a better place to live in hopefully.
Pakhtuns will never forget how Imran Khan went an extra mile for peace in our lands and even got himself dubbed as Terrorism-apologist by the warmongers. Imran Khan's unflinching stance on drone attacks and NATO supplies issues will never be forgotten.
Pakhtuns will forever remain indebted to Imran Khan for his personal interest and KP government good management in trying to save our generations from the crippling diseases like polio through 'Sehat Ka Insaf' initiative.
Initiatives like 'Tameer-e-School' aimed at improving the education-related infrastructure (left in shambles by previous governments) will go a long way in the development of Pakhtuns as an educated and aware nation.



Initiatives like building sports stadiums at district/tehsil levels will also ensure that Pakhtun youth utilizes their energies in positive activities, instead of going astray on the paths of militancy or drugs or crimes.


So not all is bad in KPK actually and the questions I raised here on behalf of Pakhtuns don't mean we have lost hope in PTI or Imran Khan. Results of by-elections for 4 NA seats and 5-6 MPA seats held in KPK over the past few months (except NA-1 where several factors were at work) are proof that PTI enjoys full trust of Pakhtuns. What I have highlighted in this blog is just a sincere introspection from an Insafian's eyes - to help PTI correct its course on some issues that require immediate attention.
Having said that, PTI should also remember one thing:

The two biggest temptations for any Pakhtun are Islam and Pakhtu. Pakhtuns rejected the grandson of 'Fakhr-e-Afghan' Baacha Khan - who tried to use 'Pakhtu card' - and also the son of respected Mufti Mehmood - who tried to use 'Islam card'. Instead they trusted a non-Pashto speaking modern man Imran Khan ONLY because Pakhtun believe in federation of Pakistan and in delivering on promises (which Asfandyar's ANP or Fazl's JUI could not). So basically the lesson is: you get only one chance to win the hearts, minds, trust and the recurring vote of Pakhtuns. Otherwise, even being a Bacha Khan's grandson or Mufti Mehmood's son can't save you from humiliating defeat. Nobody gets a 2nd chance in KPK - that is what last 2 decades of KPK's political history tells us.


And the only way out for PTI, as I also stated soon after elections, is:


PTI must synchronize its dual roles (as opposition in NA and as govt in KP) so that its opposition voice at federal level should aid its governance at KPK level.I rest my case.
