Blaming Malalaa Yousafzai for In Action of Mullah Military Taliban Alliance over Gaza Massacre.

            

Malalaa yousafzai 

A famous Punjabi saying, ‘digga khoti tooN gussa kumhar tay’ [One is fallen from the donkey but blames the potmaker] is the most appropriate expression for describing certain Pakistani ‘friends of Gaza’ busy blaming Malala for not condemning Israel’s latest aggression. Had Jalib been around, he would have poured his scorn anew, ‘Dartay hain mo’chooN wallaya ik nehti larki say’.

            What unites Ummah is definitely not Israel. It is highly contagious ignorance. Conspiracy theories to vilify Malala when she was shot at by a Talib, reached all the way to Palestine itself. Many aPalestinian declared the attack on  Malala as a mock attack. However, it is our Muslim Indian brethren often proving more Pakistani than Pakistanis.  A Facebook friend (I sometimes wish one also had the option of  Facebook Enemies) from India has also hosted a full fledge ‘poem’ (though badly rhymed) condemning Malala. No counter-check, no verification is considered necessary when it comes to ‘Western agents’.

            Our Facebook jihadis do not even read newspapers, it seems. Honestly, I heard Malala’s statement condemning the Israeli invasion on BBC Urdu before I noticed a Facebook post condemning her for ignoring the Gaza crisis. I was critical of both. Malala, I thought, should not poke her nose everywhere. Likewise, I regretted BBC Urdu’s editorial judgment. Malala is not an expert  on Gaza crisis. She is not a politician She has dedicated herself to the cause of, in particular, girls’ education. In this regard, there is a justification if she travels to Nigeria to express her solidarity with the girl-students kidnapped by Boko Haram. She may be outraged over hundreds of issues on a daily basis. But we should be spared her statements on BBC Urdu and other mainstream media outlets on topics she is hardly expert on, even if she is entitled to hold whatever views and freely express them.

            I was definitely wrong. Malala paid the price for violating Salafi-Sharia the Taliban had imposed in Swat. From now on, she will be paying the price for refusing to toe the Online-Sharia that middle-class, clean-shaven urban  Taliban (but beards in their stomachs) have devised for Pakistani women, peasants and workers.

            While Swat’s mountain Taliban attempted to assassinate her physically, their urban counterparts are trying to assassinate her integrity, commitment, and character till she recants (Will she submit?). I wish I had not written about Malala. I did not before. I still think a coward like myself lacks the moral ground to even pay tribute to Malala’s courage. But her critics unfortunately are people with few scruples. They are not angry at the OIC (justifiably ridiculed as Oh I See!) or the Arab League for betraying the Palestine cause.

            It does not bother Malala-haters that both the Pakistan government and their political leadership, from Imran Khan’s Tehrik-e-Insaf to Nawaz Sharif’s Muslim League have looked the other way as Israel devastates Gaza [I am discounting PPP and ANP since they do not represent the Urban Taliban even if their role is equally regrettable].

Since ‘ignorance is power’ in the case of Malala bashers [even Google is helpless before the power ignorance commands in the blogosphere where Pakistani middle classes operate],   I, therefore, will not blame them for not directing their anger towards Brigadier Zia-ul-Haq for his notorious role in Black September.

 However, now when Malala has condemned the Gaza invasion (please do not ask her to receive a fake Israeli bullet in a mock encounter in Gaza to prove her sincerity), should not Malala critics muster courage and express solidarity with dozens of Gazas regularly created domestically: Imambargahs, Hazara and Christian neighbourhoods, Sufi shrines, Ahmedi mosques, Hindu Bastis and whole of FATA.

            Rafeef Ziadah is many things – an activist, scholar, musician, poet. In every role, she is the voice of Palestine. During a demonstration, a western journalist asked her: “Ms Ziadah, don’t you think that everything would be resolved if you would just stop teaching so much hatred to your children?”

            In mainstream western discourses, it is usually not Israel that is posing any problem. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is explained away by an instinctive Muslim/Palestinian hatred for Jews. Islamophobic clichés strengthened by the rise of Hamas help ease the job. 

            As if to introduce the journalist to the rich tradition of Arabic poetry, Rafeef responded with a dazzling poem, titled, ‘We teach life, sir!’Here is an excerpt: 

“Today, my body was a TV’d massacre.

Today, my body was a TV’d massacre that had to fit into sound-bites and word limits.

Today, my body was a TV’d massacre that had to fit into sound-bites and word limits filled enough with statistics to counter measured response.

And I perfected my English and I learned my UN resolutions.

But still, he asked me, Ms Ziadah, don’t you think that everything would be resolved if you would just stop teaching so much hatred to your children?

Pause.

 I look inside of me for strength to be patient but patience is not at the tip of my tongue as the bombs drop over Gaza.

Patience has just escaped me.

 Pause. 

Smile.

“We teach life, sir!”

Rafeef, remember to smile.

Pause

 “We teach life, sir! We Palestinians teach life after they have occupied the last sky.

 “We teach life after they have built their settlements and apartheid walls, after the last skies. We teach life, sir!”

Yet again Israel is pounding Gaza. In the realm of social media, any gesture of solidarity with Palestine earns you liberal wrath. ‘Why do a few dead bodies and a couple of bombs over Gaza bother you so much when the Taliban are massacring innocent Pakistanis next door?’ comes the reprimand. Ironically, this is exactly what the religious right does. Point out any puritan barbarity and in response puritans will cite two imperial/infidel outrages. The way politicised Islam refuses to be a ‘religion of peace’ beyond Nile-to-Kashgar, the liberalism of many Pakistan liberals also begins to wane when the victims at the receiving end of imperial or Zionist barbarisms happen to be ‘uncouth Arabs’.

The outrage over the Gaza bombings is not owing to the fundamentalists’ hegemonic sway over the apocryphal Muslim world, or Talibanisation in the case of Pakistan. Long before the Taliban were even born, Jalib used to mock the mullahs for ignoring the Palestinian cause while Faiz penned ‘Lullaby for a Palestinian Child’ and attributed his ‘Meray Dil Meray Musafir’ to Yasser Arafat.

That Palestine invokes such passions in the Muslim world and beyond mirrors, in the first place, the success of the Palestinian liberation struggle as a political project. Second, symbolised by Leila Khaled, Mehmoud Darwesh, Edward Said and Yasser Arafat, the heroic Palestinian resistance against the last surviving and violent colonial project has invoked a general solidarity worldwide. From post-apartheid South Africa to communist Cuba, Palestine has won global solidarity. After 200 invasion f Gaza, Bolivia and Venezuela severed diplomatic ties with IsraeI In Sweden, a Davis Cup match in 2009 between Sweden and Israel was played in an arena without spectators. Authorities banned any audience for fear of anti-Israel protesters. In fact, Palestine solidarity is much stronger in the west than the Muslim world. Third, history and the west’s guilty conscious/hypocrisy further stoke the Palestinian fire. I would humbly suggest: instead of getting irritated over Gaza, let us learn lessons in resistance and dignity from Palestine. Rafeef Ziadah correctly points out:

We Palestinians wake up every morning to teach the rest of the world life, sir!

(III)

            Dear Liberals! When are you going to stage a Syria-solidarity sit-in? But watch out. A demonstration against the Assad regime will land you in the ISIS camp (by the same logic you bracket the left with Hamas). A demonstration against ISIS will land you in the camp of Iranian Ayotollahs.

Severe Discrimination by and Bias of Punjabi's to Quota of Other Provinces and their Rights in Jobs and Education

In order to provide equal access to underprivileged/minority groups as well as to enhance the proportion of any under-represented class or area in the society, many countries in the world have devised effective laws and policies that promote equal opportunities and give special preferences to these groups in terms of distribution of resources and services. 

These laws are termed as affirmative actions or positive discrimination and are continuously being reviewed in terms of their implementation and effectiveness. Under these laws all the public bodies are responsible to eliminate discrimination and promote equality and publish the details of such initiatives in their annual reports. 

These laws also specify that it is not the responsibility of those who claim unfair treatment to provide evidence but it is the responsibility of the alleged discriminator to prove his/her legitimacy. Those who ignore the implementation of the affirmative action laws are heavily penalized and the penalty could include imprisonment as well.

In this regard article 27 of the Constitution of Pakistan prescribes mechanism to safeguard against discrimination. This article authorizes the parliament to make effective legislation in order to redress the under-representation of any class or area in the service of Pakistan. 

Under this provision the parliament of Pakistan devised provincial quota system for federal services as well as for admission in federal institutes/universities so as to provide equal opportunity/representation to all the provinces. According to this quota system, the share of Punjab (including federal capital Islamabad) in federal services and admissions in educational institutes is 50%, Sindh 19% (11.4% rural and 7.6% Urban), KPK 11.5 %, Baluchistan 6%, GB & FATA 4%, AJK 2% and the remaining 7.5% for the open merit. 

Now let us see if the above affirmative action is implemented by federal public bodies in its true letter and spirit. In this regard a news item appeared in some sections of the press recently (July 2, 2014) which concludes that the ‘Senate committee on job quota failed to do its job’. This committee was formed around four years ago (Sep 2010) when some Senators from the smaller provinces complained against non-implementation of the provincial job quota in federal services. 

The committee was headed by the then leader of the house Nayyar Bokhari and was tasked to review the appointment between 2007 and 2010. The committee conducted around 32 meetings but could not produce the final report and now it has been dissolved as the subject matter has been transferred to Senate Standing Committee on Law and Justice. So that’s the state-of-the-art of the government initiatives regarding implementation of the affirmative actions to provide equity based representation and distribution of services and resources to all the provinces. 

Now the incumbent Government could appoint another committee to find out the reasons as to why the Senate’s Special Committee on Job Quota failed to do its job in 4 years? And this process could continue endlessly without delivering anything good to the masses. 

The under-represented classes and areas are continuously crying for justice. Leaving other federal bodies/institutes aside let us look at the biased and discriminatory attitude of the country’s premier education related body i.e. the Higher Education Commission (HEC). In this regard an important source of reference could be the letter written in July 2012 by the then Governor of Baluchistan Mr Zulfiqar Ali Magsi to the Prime Minister of Pakistan which says that  ‘provincial quota in Higher Education Commission (HEC) becomes 6 percent while only 0.9 percent employments have been given to the province’.

Similarly, Sindh Chapter of the Federation of All Pakistan Academic Staff Association (FAPUASA) urged the Prime Minister and the President of Pakistan to make the Higher Education Commission accountable for continued discrimination against Sindh in terms of distribution of services and resources (Press Release Jan 1, 2014).

In response to this complaint the then Executive Director who is now the incumbent Chairperson of HEC visited the HEC Regional Centre Karachi and assured FAPUASA Sindh Chapter that an independent inquiry would be held to review HECs services and resource distribution since 2002 and in the light of the findings of this inquiry a transparent mechanism would be devised for better implementation of the affirmative action. 

Unfortunately, even after six months there had been no any progress towards this aim and the biased and discriminatory policies are going on continuously. As a proof of biased attitude one could cite HEC’s own data. According to HEC’s annual report 2010-11 the percentage of province-wise distribution of scholarships is: Punjab 66.5; KPK 21.7; Sindh 5.7; Federal 3.5; AJK 1.9; Baluchistan 0.6 and FATA 0.5.These figures are clearly against the constitutionally approved rights of the smaller provinces specially in the case of Sindh and Baluchistan! 

Similar trend of distribution could easily be found for research and development grants, travel grants, number of tenure track faculty members, number of national and international seminars and conferences grants, number of Business Incubator Centres, number and location of federal Universities/institutes such at COMSATS, number of HEC funded research journals, number of Campus Management Software Solutions, number of sports events and many other projects.  

It is not only Sindh and Baluchistan but recently Vice-Chancellors of 18 public sector Universities of KPK also issued a joint statement regarding continued biased attitude of HEC in terms of job/admission quota and distribution of resources (reported in press on July 3, 2014). The Vice-Chancellors have complained that not only HEC but except the QAU, all other 13 public sector federal Universities neither implement job nor admission quota despite the facts that the major portion of funding goes to federal Universities due to biased attitude of HEC.  

It is pertinent to note that the non-implementation of the affirmative action is the violation of the Constitution of Pakistan and may lead Pakistan’s already fragile federation towards a serious national crisis! It is the time that the government pays heed to this very important issue and learning from other countries moves toward more positive discrimination to compensate the loss of the under-represented classes and areas.

 To this aim a joint committee consisting of Senators from smaller provinces and representatives of the University teachers may immediately be constituted to conduct a thorough review of HEC and prepare 5 year strategic plan for the future.

How President Carter, Pakistan Trapped Russians into Invading Afghanistan Via Taliban

JANUARY 15, 1998

SHARE ON FACEBOOKSHARE ON TWITTERSHARE ON GOOGLEMORE SHARING SERVICES202

Brezeinski Most was Advisor to US President for last 50 Years and he is Made behind the Taliban and Mujahideen and American Establishment  

Zbigniew Brzezinski:
by Alexander Cockburn And Jeffrey St. Clair

Q: The former director of the CIA, Robert Gates, stated in his memoirs ["From the Shadows"], that American intelligence services began to aid the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan 6 months before the Soviet intervention. In this period you were the national security adviser to President Carter. You therefore played a role in this affair. Is that correct?

Brzezinski: Yes. According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahadeen began during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, 24 Dec 1979. But the reality, secretly guarded until now, is completely otherwise: Indeed, it was July 3, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And that very day, I wrote a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention.

Q: Despite this risk, you were an advocate of this covert action. But perhaps you yourself desired this Soviet entry into war and looked to provoke it?

Brzezinski: It isn’t quite that. We didn’t push the Russians to intervene, but we knowingly increased the probability that they would.

Q: When the Soviets justified their intervention by asserting that they intended to fight against a secret involvement of the United States in Afghanistan, people didn’t believe them. However, there was a basis of truth. You don’t regret anything today?

Brzezinski: Regret what? That secret operation was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it? The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter: We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war. Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war unsupportable by the government, a conflict that brought about the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet empire.

Q: And neither do you regret having supported the Islamic [integrisme], having given arms and advice to future terrorists?

Brzezinski: What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?

Q: Some stirred-up Moslems? But it has been said and repeated: Islamic fundamentalism represents a world menace today.

Brzezinski: Nonsense! It is said that the West had a global policy in regard to Islam. That is stupid. There isn’t a global Islam. Look at Islam in a rational manner and without demagoguery or emotion. It is the leading religion of the world with 1.5 billion followers. But what is there in common among Saudi Arabian fundamentalism, moderate Morocco, Pakistan militarism, Egyptian pro-Western or Central Asian secularism? Nothing more than what unites the Christian countries.

* There are at least two editions of this magazine; with the perhaps sole exception of the Library of Congress, the version sent to the United States is shorter than the French version, and the Brzezinski interview was not included in the shorter version.

How Pakhtunkhwa Rivers are Dried up To Supply Water to Punjab and Islamabad Under PTI and MMA (Mullah Military Alliance) Agents of Punajbis

PESHAWAR, Feb 22: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government on Friday demanded the review of Ghazi Barotha hydropower project due to objection to its design.

“Ghazi Barotha project should be revisited because its execution is not in line with the original design. The undue spanning of canal has caused severe water shortage in parts of our province. We’ll not allow anyone to steal our water,” provincial information minister told a seminar at the Peshawar Press Club.

Watan Welfare Society (WWS) organised the seminar titled ‘Water Supply Scheme to the Twin Cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi’.

The minister said Awami National Party had strongly resisted the construction of Kalabagh Dam and would go all-out to get the Ghazi Barotha project’s design reviewed as per the original plan.

He said the agreement of Ghazi Barotha hydropower project had been violated due to increase in the spanning of the relevant canal and therefore, water of the canal should be re-diverted.

Mr Hussain said it was unfortunate that rivers in the province had dried up but the Ghazi Barotha canal had a good flow of water.

He said it was surprising that the province had been deprived of its water resources though Council of Common Interest, which was the right forum to discuss such matters, had never approved the Ghazi Barotha project.

The minister said the project had led to the drying up of many tube wells in Swabi and thus, causing severe shortage of water in the area.

“After 18th Constitutional amendment, provinces have got more powers. Now, no one can occupy resources of others,” he said.

Earlier, WWS chairman Dr Mehsud told participants that the CDA chairman and China Machinery Engineering Company (CMEC) recently signed an agreement of water supply project to Islamabad and Rawalpindi on June 5, 2012 without taking Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on board.

He said the government and bureaucracy in the centre were bent on taking control of water reservoirs of the province.

“Bids are being made to create problems for the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Kalabagh Dam, Akori Dam and supply of water to Punjab from the province are a few instances to mention in this respect,” he said.

Mr Mehsud said the Ghazi Barotha project was designed during the Musharraf government by CDA and Rawalpindi Development Authority without permission from Indus River System Authority and the KP government.

He said the former provincial government of Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal had opposed the project and even the provincial assembly in 2007 had adopted a resolution unanimously against the supply of water from the Indus River to twin cities.

“As a result of that resolution, work on the project came to a halt. However, CDA and the Chinese firm recently signed an MoU for supplying 200 million gallons of water from Ghazi Barotha to Islamabad and Rawalpindi on daily basis,” he said.

Speakers Dr Said Alam Mehsud, Shahab Khattak, Mukhtar Bacha, Maryam Bibi and Ijaz Hoti expressed surprise that if the provincial government had not approved the project, then how its MoU was signed.

They demanded of the provincial government to take up the matter with the centre to ensure that the local residents were not deprived of their resources.

World Legendary Hero,s are Zeros by Pakistanis if they are from Pakthunkhwa as Pashtuns

By Shaan Agha
Published Jun 13, 2014 06:18pm

Pashtuns Jehangir Khan only Sports man in History of World to Win 555 Matches consequently and so is Yunis Khan who Gave us World cup after Imran Khan another Pashtun Legend and Shabaz Khan a Great Legend and yet we are so Baised and make them Zeros .



L-R Cricketer Younis Khan, squash legend Jahangir Khan and hockey star Shahbaz Ahmed.



As I warmed my chair to watch the Roland Garros final, I was warned by my Rafa crazed wife that dinner would only be served if Rafael Nadal went on to win a record 9th French Open title in his 5th consecutive bid. No man in history has comparable success or has dominated a single surface as has the 'King of Clay'. Novak Djokovic too was gunning for a career Grand Slam.

The scoreline stood at one set a piece going into the third, but the body language of the two players suggested that there was now a clear favourite. Nadal was on his way to win his 14th Grand Slam, only three shy of Roger Federer’s record 17. Djokovic said that beating Rafa at the French Open was not just the most difficult thing to do in Tennis, but perhaps in the entire sporting world; Nadal now has a 66 -1 Win/Loss record in his 10 years at the Parisian Slam.

As my wife ecstatically celebrated, I too was happy to witness a feat that might survive the test of time, and I was also relieved that dinner would finally be laid. During our meal we discussed how Rafa’s dominance and his aura of invincibility on red dirt bore a stark resemblance to a Pakistani legend that graced the squash courts and ruled them for over a decade; we reminisced the era of Jahangir Khan.

From 1981 to 1986, Jahangir was unbeaten in all competitive play. He won 555 consecutive matches, the longest winning streak by any athlete in any top level professional sport. He won ten consecutive British Open (the Wimbledon equivalent) championships, remaining unbeaten at squash’s most prestigious tournament between 1982 and 1991. Jahangir was, and for many will always be, the undisputed 'King of Squash'.

Unfortunately, the air that Jahangir created in the world of squash did not translate into the national stardom one would have expected or hoped for. I personally grew up playing squash and tennis at a club in Karachi that Jahangir sometimes visited, but he was always found in the Billiard Room and never at the squash courts. I seldom saw people stopping and asking for autographs or taking pictures with the legend. I now realise, I don’t have them either, next time though, I will make sure I intrude his stride and get one of each.

This brings us to a grave question that desperately begs to be answered by the Pakistani public. Why did a man of Jahangir Khan’s stature receive such mellow national celebrity status and relatively less popularity than his achievements and accolades warranted?

One can reason that squash is not a big sport; the cash flow does not allow the glitter and in Pakistan, glamour, it seems, is reserved for its only one true sporting passion: cricket. While all of the above could provide rational to the lack of fame or fortune for great Pakistani sportsmen, the rabbit hole is a lot deeper.

For many years, Pakistan produced the most talented and skilled stock of hockey and squash players in the world, but the lack of larger than life heroes has meant a dearth of aspiring followers. Economic non-viability and shortage (or mishandling) of resources has deprived sports its fare share and halted its progress, but it is the absence of inspiration for the Pakistani youth that has jolted its foundation and become the core of the prevailing quagmire.

Posters of Jahangir and Jansher Khan, or Samiullah and Kalimullah are from bedroom walls of the past. An entire generation in Pakistan has grown up without idolising a star from the sports Pakistan once ruled, many kids of today have never picked up a hockey stick or a squash racquet in their life. While squash and hockey are on an extremely slippery downward curve, cricketers too have lost the fan fare they once enjoyed. Sadly, instead of glorifying the players, the administrators have contributed in decimating the stardom of its most important asset.

The most recent victim of reproach at the hands of the authorities was Younis Khan who was initially demoted to a “B” category contract by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). With a Test batting average of 51.92 and 23 hundreds, Younis ranks among the best batsmen the country has ever produced. He captained Pakistan in all forms of the game and led the team to a glorious World T20 championship. According to reliable sources, a disappointed and dejected Younis had decided not to sign the contract, even if it jeopardized his future with the Pakistani team.

Also read: Nadal – God must’ve had a plan

The legacy of Younis Khan goes beyond statistics and numbers. Not as talented as his peers Inzamam-ul-Haq and Mohammad Yousuf, he has been able to achieve as much, and even more on certain accounts. He was one of the few who maintained a clean slate in a team rife with corruption and politics. He belonged to a small group of Pakistani cricketers of his era that went without a blemish on their integrity or accusations of disrupting team spirit.

Younis should have become the corner stone for a generation of cricketers to follow, the symbol of hard work, honesty and perseverance. Instead of being decorated with badges and medals of honour, he was made to look like an old man trying to cling onto a cricket contract at the twilight of his career, and more embarrassingly his self esteem.

What message was the PCB giving out to young cricketers? Who would want to be the next Younis Khan, if he was portrayed as a struggling, unsatisfied man trying to fight for his basic rights?

The decision of Najam Sethi to reverse the atrocious call on Younis Khan’s contract was much needed and has been welcomed by the entire cricket fraternity. Most importantly, Sethi is putting in place a clause that will automatically award an "A" category contract to any player that has represented Pakistan in over 300 matches and captained in all three formats.

PCB for once has taken a step in the right direction. Organisations, institutions and countries work most efficiently when there are adequate functional systems in place, and not through the whimsical accord of the powers that control them at a given time. With this new clause in PCB’s contractual framework, the chances of such mistakes being repeated should diminish.

In a recent lash out at the Pakistani public who apparently misbehaved on social media, Wasim Akram said he had a job in India and could not come to Pakistan to sell “amrood” (Guava), clarifying that he was a patriotic Pakistani. It is a tragedy for Pakistan that someone who should have been a national treasure needs to come on TV and explain which side of the border his loyalties remain. It is the job of the entire country to develop and maintain a climate where stars understand their responsibilities and they receive public love and respect in return. But far too often in Pakistan, both fail to maintain that balance.

While Nadal was recently named as the adopted son of Madrid, the highest honour given by the city hall in the Spanish capital, the Karachi Building Control Authority (KBCA) has sealed the newly-built Jahangir Khan Sports Complex on Kashmir Road in Karachi. For right or for wrong, the Pakistani legend is sadly an accused outlaw in his own country and the Spanish maestro is their most adored hero.

Dreadfully, the Pakistani hockey team has also failed to qualify for the World Cup for the first time in its history.

The Pakistani government, media, corporations, institutions, and the civil society have failed to build systems or create an environment that could have nurtured and popularised national heroes. In fact, these stakeholders often play a part in defaming, slandering and marginalising the country’s most prized possessions; the damage of which is far reaching and beyond mathematical calculation.

There are some things money can’t buy; national pride, the psyche of an entire country and inspiration that can alter social fabric. A hundred thousand rupees more or less on a cricket contract are of little significance because there is no price tag that can absorb the emotions of millions who aspire to adorn national colours.

Respect cannot be expected if one is not willing to offer any. And if Pakistan wants its sporting culture to regain its lost glory, the Green Blazer has to hold the reverence it inherently desires.

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.

MORE THAN 200 PEOPLE DEAD DUE TO ROAD CONSTRUCTION DELAYS – PAKISTAN

By Malik Achakzai

QUETTA, Pakistan (Inzuna) – A big cloud of dust swirls above our Corolla as it gets onto the road. Black shade surrounds the car. Nobody can see the traffic coming towards us, and we are not sure the cars coming at us can see us.

This scary scenario is a daily occurrence for those who drive on the Kalat-Quetta-Chaman section of Pakistan’s National Highway, N-25. The road has been under construction since 2004 and delays in its completion have caused hundreds of deaths.

The highway is considered to be one of the most important trade routes between Pakistan and Afghanistan. N-25 stretches from Karachi, Sindh to Quetta, Balochistan and then on to Afghanistan where it turns into N-40 connecting it to Iran, Turkey, and then Europe. The road is also linked to a highway that is used to transport goods in and out of the important port city of Gwadar in Balochistan.

“Many construction companies are changed and billions of rupees are wasted in the tenure of each company,” said Noor Ahmed Kakar, president of All Balochistan Goods Truck Transport Companies Association, while speaking with Inzuna.

According to the association’s records, more than 237 drivers, conductors and passengers have been killed in road accidents on the N-25 due to delays in construction and diversions on the road. “And some of the sections which are built are never of the quality mentioned by [the] National Highway Authority,” Kakar said.

As of January of 2014, 759 kilometers of road have been finished on the N-25, a Pakistan-based USAID spokesperson, who requested anonymity, told Inzuna.

USAID has committed $90 million for the highway’s construction and is planning for its completion in 30 months’ time. The money will be disbursed to the government of Pakistan and the National Highway Authority of Pakistan (NHA), which in turn hired Frontier Works Organization (FWO), a civil engineering firm based in Rawalpindi, to finish construction of the N-25.

But in the meantime, misfortunes continues to persist.

“These [roads] will be washed away by rain water and heavy load carriers in months. The asphalt will be pressed down into holes because of poor quality construction products… I don't think this road will remain very long under heavy NATO and civilian truck transportation,” Kakar told Inzuna.

He said that the National Highway Authority (NHA), the governmental department in charge of Pakistan’s roadways, is giving “false promises” to finish the road.

He also explained that “the dust has proven to be unhealthy both to those living beside the road and drivers and passengers.”

Haji Nasir Ahmed Bacha, an ex-provincial minister and tribal elder of Balochistan, told Inzuna that a private road construction company started work on the N-25 before 2004 but did not have any government security. Consequently, “influential groups and individuals pushed the company not to work and always demanded heavy bribes", he said.

Noor ul Hassan Mandokhail, general manager of the NHA, corroborated Bacha’s assessment while speaking with Inzuna and said that “money seizures and a lack of proper funding caused road building delays.”

After the US invaded Afghanistan, Bacha said, “Pakistan wanted to slow down NATO supply carriers. Pakistan felt some sort of fear due to NATO forces presence in Afghanistan.”

However, now that the war effort is winding down and NATO forces are returning to their respective countries he said that he believes delays to road building will stop.

Bacha is confident that the FWO will deliver the necessary fixes to the highway securely as the company has much needed militaristic capabilities.

“No ‘mafia’ can stand in the way of semi-military companies. They [the FWO staff] cannot be pressured by groups and individuals demanding heavy bribes,” Bacha stated.
