We cant progresss inPak with the current mindsets in our bureacracy- i have just had a hot talk with assembly staff who have not sent invites out yet for Friday meeting! I rest my case- so much fixing to do in terms of systems-
Foreign policy- SCO ddiscussion wth Imtiaz dr Riffat n ever baig on hum tv
IT cttee meeting on electronic crime ordinance- anusha from pmln and myself were the main blockers of this anti human rights legislation which duplicates pak penal code and is trying to create pak into a police state by giving fia the powers- we did what we cld to block it from going ahead in original form- the amount of legal work we have done (anusha basically- me in supporting role) i dont think anyone has in this cttee- for every line of the bill we had an issue- an alternative- a recommendation- in the end after 5 sessions i think chairman got fed up and passed it into a sub cttee of which we are NOT members- justice fakhrunisa and another mna are members- we will wait for their detailed report- but we will not give up-
i have been told by my party leadership that they need me to finish the white paper on govt one year by sunday! i will start saturday and finish sunday! crazy workload but then this is my job so i cannot crib about it.
i am now sitting on delta work- i have decided to lock myself into my offc till this is done- no other work till friday!!

Changing mind set won’t be an easy task as long as ppl in govt dept doesn’t have the fear of getting fired from the job due to such behavior.
I thought Electronic crime ordinance has become part of law. Infact FIA and other security agencies are enjoying great deal of power due to this ordinance.
Best of luck for your delta work and the party white paper. Hopefully you will be able to find something good to mention in the white paper as I am unable to recall anything like that.
hope to see diary in your busy and hectic schedule.
