My name is Bilal and i am a student of Electronic Engineering. I watched Your Interview and Many speeches and now i realize that someone has awaken from our public to speak for us.
My Question is that when Your government was in Power then the Rate of flour was around Rs.20. People in opposition used to scream on roads for such prices and now when prices have raised above Rs.35, no one cares now or people have lost their hopes.
Kindly explain the role of Judges in our politics. I bet they are playing side role in a horror movie. Besides speaking against the President and the Ex-Government they have nothing to do.
Asslamoalaikum w/w!
Dear Marvi,
I just want to acknowledge the path and trend you have set for the rest to follow by presenting your self for accountability this shows the courage and your commitment towards this country. I feel proud that people like yourself are part of our country and INSHALLAH this country will show to the rest of the world with people like you “We are the best and we can lead from the front”.
Warm regards
Hi how r u. I saw ur program on express tv and stunned to hear ur views and knowledge. Alao i am surprises to see that u have made ur own website and professionally u r a professional banker and a good manager.
I am amechanical engineer and belongs to sukkur
From where do u belog? Alao why having such bright career in banking, why u chose to be a politician?
Well Done Marvi. We Feel Proud of you. Hope 10% of our Elected Elites were as Qualitatively Educated, Aware, Interest Oriented and Responsible as you. Keep the Family Flag Flying.
I may not be a Muslim Leaguer But I’m Sindhi, Pakistani,Muslim who belives in the oneness of Pakistan but only as a Loose Federation,based on Human Dignity and not a Religious State but a Muslim State with all rights to Minorities. Let Religion be between Men & God & not a Business of the State.
Corruption be declared as a Crime, NRO’s be changed into NRC likes of South Africa. Bureaucracy be answerable to the People, Judges should go thru rigirous process before being appointed.Good Luck & God Bless

“… and that I will preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. May Allah Almighty help and guide me (A’meen).”
Above are the sentences taken from the oath of a Member National Assembly (MNA) that you have included in your introduction’s page.
Please tell me honestly, don’t you think your party did exactly opposite of it by accepting the Nov. 3 actions of Musharraf.
This is a nice step taken by you. But, one thing I would like you to make sure is that, this website should be used for interaction between you and the people, and not for your media publicity.
I m glad to see you leaving farzana raja answerless on some news channel where she could not respond to your questions about their party fake promises made during election campaign,with public for achieving power only .Like every political party in the country always leaving nation disappointed after being elected.
watching your interviews n views on politics i am surprised to see that still some good dedicated ,energtic leaders like you, are there in the country who has scientific modern ways of interacting people specially young generation.
we expect you, the only one, will definitely address the issue of latest alarming developments on our borders of afghanistan which is leaving pakistanis, the nation having no respect coz when a leader like karzai lol pointing towards pakistan forgetting all the sacrifices of pakistani nations and specially his in competency to handle the country’s situation, proves what our govt is waiting on why don’t they quit apologizing attitude why don’t they face world head to head.
Holding the light of hope may you survive longer for the nation n whole country
May Allah bless pakistan n rest of the world with peace & prosperity n give you the real strength to lead the nation as a true leader in the right direction of optimism
I am busy working on inter faith dialogue, national security strategy and strategy to manage extremism. Its a national cause in these trying times. Your comments on these would be most valuable to guide me in the right direction. Thankyou…
dear Marvi,
i am a resident of Gilgit Baltistan. I would like to extend my respect, encouragement and thankfulness on presenting the issues of GB in the parliament. it is indeed your kindness otherwise no one has spoken on the floor of assembly for GB.
regarding interfaith dialogue, as resident of one of the most effected regions of Pakistan, my suggestion would be that government should nationalize all the mosques and Imam Barghas in Pakistan, with proper training of Masjid imams and a clear direction should be given to them.
Try to engage people on commonalities between the faiths, like ethics, Humanity and social relation of man with society etc. with in the islam sects in minority are vulnerable and have reservations with the system. they must be heard and their ambiguities must be cleared.
well this is my contribution and will come up with some more in future.
Regards.
P.S. your effort is highly appreciated in the student circle of GB. Keep it up, and try to meet youth frequently instead of politician because they will steer you according to their needs.

Contrary to your statement the first Urdu poet was Wali Dakhni who is said to have said the first urdu-persian blend sher:
Khudaya babakshad bur haal-e-man
Budha houn maiN aur jawaan hai dulhan.
Marvi Ji first of all i wish you all the best for your contribution and hard work, and may Allah give you success in every positive step you take… as you are working on a strategy to manage extremism, i’d give you my personal view on this…
Who is a terrorist or extremist?
A person who ’s killing for food, religious freedom, his lawful rights in society?
Ask urself Miss/Mrs Marvi, a common person if has to wait for years in courts for justice. A innocent youth going behind the bar, gets killed or robbed and waiting for justice, Where as he sees the real corrupt gets the leadership of the country and escapes the country when caught guilty and once they return they get the leadership again. A country where we have no social and financial insurance. Being however literate I would personally even prefer a Sharia Law and Jirga system to get the results as early as possible. These people are not terrorists they are holding guns to protect their rights, they are fighting for their heritage, religious and cultural freedom.
You people are forcing them too much to adopt you people and so inviting problems to yourself. Don’t send the troops to kill them, sort out your judicial system, protect your borders from all around provide education to everyone in easy means and provide equal employment opportunities raise the common man’s life standard and it may take a few years but would result without shedding any blood. And one more thing to add here… please don’t get the people so complex ed by showing off the luxuries, stop sending your own children to foreign universities, instead raise the standard of your own here. Our most educated class, who if serves their own country could make a huge difference prefers going abroad and serve those foreign countries WHY? money maybe is one of the facts but the what matters the most is the social justice, law n order and system what attracts them. In our country, what do we have here? Just a few hotels, cafes, restaurents, bowling allays (not affordable for common man) Golf Clubs (just for a particular class) Gyms, Sport Clubs again for supreme class, grounds? too conjusted or small… attractions? ohhh hardly we have a poor zoo and indian cinema these days… what about our art and historical buildings? yes in poor condition now. Actually our government doesn’t have any master plan for the infrastructure of towns and cities. People don’t trust anyone of you now. You are frustrating the people too much, don’t you see? No planning for generating electricity, no proper water and sewerage systems, no atta no ghee… the rich gets richer and a poor gets poorer. Than our managenet class drivin huge cars and a majority hasn’t even got money to buy shoes. Isn’t it forcing them to do kidnappings, killings and robberies to enjoy those luxiries or just to provide food to their children n emselves? buT hey not to forget if they get caught they will be out behind bars, but if a big robberer from our political parties do multi billion robbery doesn’t even get noticed. Dont you feel ashamed when you see a kid begging on the road side? when a dog lies dead on roads for days? when u see people supplying goods on donkeys to make their living and a brand new Lexus/Bmw/Mercedes with a special number worth a fortune passes by it. If our leaders could rather step into their shoes and think of their feelings only then they would be called AWAMI leader.
If we just uprise the standard of lives of people we can make a huge difference. But sigh, Your government had the best of opportunities but now we have foreign forces on our borders, no economy, no industries, no investments, stock exchange fallin low… too risky isn’t it… but we still have a HOPE! Every person i bet in this country is living with one hope, waiting for that one person to come forward to solve their domestic issues and then maybe we would even someday forget the word terrorism and extremism and might even change the meaning of it that we find in oxford’s new edition today.
Hi Marvi, I am a doctor by profession, my nature of work related to Science in general and Medicine in specific have brought me closer in the loop of some Nobel Laureates, in common communication and frank hours with them, I frequently encounter situations where I am asked about the Status and Role of Women in Politics and Society in Pakistan….I had very few good examples….and that too were from much faded past….now that I have you on our side I feel we have got really strong and genuine women leadership to brag about… =)
God knows how excited and happy I was to see you that day at Sama and then Lucman’s Show…I texted all my contacts on my cell to watch what are you standing for….amazing and marvelous job Marvi…Serving such an ideal role is never an easy task.I am proud of you and whole nation is proud of you!
Thanks for being there for all the Pakistanis….We are with you and may God be with you….
There was a comment on Urdu aspect of this website. I completely agree it must be done fast. In that spirit and on that advice from all of you, I have decided to write in Urdu newspapers as well (articles). The first one is on interfaith dialogue and intrafaith dialogue. Unfortunately I havnt figured out how to post a Urdu blog on this blog so till I get round this technicality I am putting a translation in English. The original is available in Nwaqt dated 22 July. Inshalla we will have a proper website not just blog where Urdu will be available and frankly so should all of this material be available in all the National languages I have proposed in the bill. Eventually will get round to it. Tks
Salam,
This is Muhammad kamran from Geneva,Switzerland. I am persuing my master in management & Leadership. I am a frequent user of internet Blogs,TV Talk shows, and anynews related to my country,Pakistan.
You are an imressive debater and talkative person.Good to see at leaset some one talking in various political aspects.
However, i would be sad to say that you are on the wrong side of the table.Your base is based on wrong elements which are the sturbness of our pesident Musharaff.I might sound anti-musharaff to you but there are many realities and facts. You spend most of your time to defend an illgitimate person who is no in no means favourable for our people.Current surveys does show this all clearly. Second, you are with the party, PMLQ has the biggest corrupt leadership.I do have reservation about other parties, but let’s talk about you and your party here.
You are right on target when you are poiting out some work of malfunctioning Govt.Neverthless, The contribution of musharraf and PMLQ has a vibrant role in al this.I am not satisfy with current govt performance as well as the role of musharrf. Only few name i can admire in politics Imran Khan, Javed Hashmi, Mehmud achakzai, Mushahid hussain, Qazi Hussain, Aitzaz ahsan, Shahbaz sharief (good with low level governance)Anwar baig. There may be many more but these looks sincere to me.
What i suggest you is to join a right platform where you may not become a member of assemble but you will have respect among people. PTI seems to me the best whose leader is full of principle.Imran khan is the man trustworthy for pakistan and he is one of the honest and faithful politicians.
You may enjoy your seat in assembly but will never gain respect by supporting a dictator who has occupied the country and spoiled our constitution.

It was really a wonderful article titled INTRAFAITHS AND INTERFAITH HARMONY in Nawa e Waqt. Yeah, its right time to do something which can work out or prove fruitful in wiping out the lable of terrorist from Pakistani nation.
You have highlighted in your article Christianity, Islam and Budhism and remaining in other religion and stunningly leaving out Hinduism, which is one of the major religions in the world. The teachings of hinduism are also for peacful society. It is one of the most flexible religion. This is not I am sying as a hindu or being baised but its true.
So I think dialogue with the believers of hindu faith can prove healthy in this regard. Not necessarily hindus from India, but from Nepal also.
Another thing you have mentioned that ban must be imposed on the pseudo sholars like Salman Rushdi and Taslima Nasreen. I think those books should be banned which are blesphamous while other books which are worth readable should be allowed.
I think it is apt time we must develope soft image, and we must be enlightendly moderate, not westernized. Its great dilemma that we misinterpreted what Gen Pervaiz Musharaf said of this coined term. We took it as westernization rather than being enlightened moderate.
So its my requet to you to coin a new term for this so that it may be taken positively to develope the constructive thinking among Pakistanis.
The omission on Hinduism in the inter faith article is regretted and was not a deliberate miss. Enlightened moderation is a good term and doesnt need recoining, just a better understanding is required that it does not mean westernization as you pointed out.
Thanks for your kind reply and heeding my request. I too agree that we need a better understanding to understand the term enlightened moderation. I dint mean at all westernization of this coined term but what I feel mostly people took it otherwise.
We need to revise our Quaid’s words of secular Pakistan. MP Bhandara did his level best in making so but people culdn’t understand him or didnt like him to do so.
I really appreciate the effforts which are being put by the young parliamentarians like you for the well being of this nation.
May God give you courage and stramina to work more.
Hi,
Can you please reply an earlier mail regarding energy sector. Bhasha dam is not the panacea and there is a lot that needs to be done even when oil prices fall below 100USD.
Also can you raise the issue that 3.78 liters (a gallon) of gasoline costs USD 3.9 with 12% tax … why the same costs USD 4.6 with 15% tax in Pakistan? Along with a claim that prices are subsidized?
Thanks,
Zubair
Agreed Mr Zubair. I have raised similar pricing issues earlier also. I am personally working on alternative energy mechanism as part of National security strategy. Your advice will be helpful on my gmail address.
AoA
An apparently bizarre exertion by a parliamentarian keeping in view, traditional and conventional outfits however without any exaggeration, hats off to an awesome exercise by a civilised soul. Though we all are educated, I am afraid fewer meet the minimum standards of cultured entities.
Irrespective of your affiliations with whatever people are shouting about, I reckon you are wise enough to carry on composing yourself. Having said that, I and every one should fully respect the existence of different wings and let everyone to merge towards the prosperity of the nation with their pace and strength. Ofcourse controversial notions are or atleast should be to establish a constructive arena for every stakeholder and to address the demands of the nation.
I donot want to be cynical at this stage, however I love to, when fabricated applauds are on air, whispers of so-called successes are echoing and above all hollow slogans of sincerity and prosperity are sprinkling like rains in monsoon season. I fully understand the dilemma of international politics and indeed Asian spheres witness much dark clouds and I am afraid, complex forecasts.
No harsh feelings please, it’s not for you. It’s my general comment. I donot expect a sincere Politian, get something out for yourself and for your close circles but I would request not to betray the ordinary person like myself. Donot give us any hope, if the clouds donot have silver linings. We are very emotional and with every murmur, we think “He/She is the ONE”. I may continue about this sometime, if get any and would love to.
Now something about new induction in the town of conspiracies and concealed “causes”, I remember you from “Off the Record”, the one accompanied by Gen. Talat and Mr. Fatimi. I found you a bit struggling with these highly skilled blokes, though you had vigilant and sharp analyses of the facts. The next one with Mrs. Haqqani deserves to be in my collectable, you were on fire. It’s a beginning, learning is till death as we learn how to. I am sure you do get some time to see your videos/comments and find how it was and how it could be? I donot want be one of those who think they are pretty good in giving suggestions, irrespective of their disturbed lives. But I believe
“Still waters run very deep”
And there is always a time for still water to expose it’s depth.
My schedule to writing you is alarming, but it was a good fun. All the best!!!
See you later.
Take care and keep praying
ALLAH HAFIZ
Its good watching you on Geo Tv and and on Ajj Tv in two different shows. So broad, candid and shrewed were your counter arguments that it really perplexed the counterparts.
Being in opposition will really provide you a nice opportunity to learn and make you politically matured person. This tenure will make you politically ripened by the end of this so-called coalition led govt.
I do agree that if Marvi Memon is in politics its not because of her father’s “ashirwad” on her but I think you are there because of your own abilities and gutts.
Its good listening you that you know Sindhi as well.
salam,
i am dr rizwan from muzaffarabad AJK. telling u frankly i realy hate the policies of PML Q but i am really surperised to see the behaviour of MMA and your other collation partners and i very carefully listen to you at different talkshows your most of the points are valid and authentic. i wish you all the best and say keep it up its nice to see a young talent hope u will continue to oppose for constructive purposes.
you are the only one pml Q candidate who impresd me. i hope the people like you in all different parties unite and soul out this our deadly country to life again
I do not consider President Musharraf a dictator. PML has elected him for 5 years and he is an elected President. I will defend what I feel is best for Pakistan’s national interest and security. One should respect difference of opinion and refrain from emotional accusations.
salam,
hope u r fine n in best of ur health i wana tell u about a girl who belongs to muzaffarabad unfortunately 4 months back while coming back from pindi to muzaffarabad some people fired her car n she got spinal injury. now she is paralysed she is on wheel chair. but that courageous girl is determined and wana continue her study. the administration of ayub medical college is resistant for her studies . i request you to please raise the issue. she is a student of 3rd year MBBS in ayub medical college abbottabad. its not the matter of a girl but any ammendment in study procedure will help alot of handicap students who wanaa become useful citizen but our system is discouraging. please do think on it we all do alot for healthy people but no one is there to raise issues of handicap. i am waiting for ur reply . if u can do anything in it i send u detailed mail.
hoping for a positive response
take care
Allah hafiz
It is really hurting that if somebody is doing something good and mingling up with general public via this electronic facility then we must take care of our emotional affiliation.
No Parlimantarian ever dared to interact like Marvi Memon with public and replying the queries. Its something daring and gesture of goodwill on her part. So, rather becoming negative and biased we must develope a positive and constructive thinking which may help us as well our young, energetic and enthusiastic parlimentarians to do something for this country.
This Iam saying being a representative of young educated Paksitanis so please heed my words.
AoA
What a grin?
Ms. Marvi, once again exploiting the best of available political catches and her vocal cords-thanks to lozenges, her “19 hour work day” and aides. It’s difficult to explain to a layman but what a pity to convince parliamentarians about the constitutional position of Mr. President? Without blowing any controversial notion, I do concur Mr. Musharraf’s constitutional position as the President of Pakistan-it is fairly and explicitly constitutional however on moral grounds, I do reserve my rights to comment. What a wacky idea to use a word “morality” in politics, it just needs “modality”-a substitute of old friend “Routee, Kupraa aor Makan”. How come someone could forget to comment about the existence of PML (Q) in future, while doodling meticulously on papers? Probably the existence of PML(Q) is a bright hope, I am not sure for Pakistan but yes it is a bright hope and an easy stair to climb with limited visionary eyes and abundance of deceiving ears.
Dr. Firdous is unfortunate for having Mr. Zardari, her words and explanations seemed strayed. It’s what I call lack of farsighted leadership. If it had been Ms. Farzana Raja, it would not have been an easy nut to crack.
Tahmina Appa, a seasoned politician-adorable-a lady who knows when and how much to speak. She also knows how to tantalize aggressively, followed by restricting others to their sheds. I remember she compelled Ms. Marvi twice to remain in her state of silence. Though she belongs to a clan who depict dark times but still she knows how to cash the historic events including atomic explosions. There is a lot to extract from her.
Take care and keep praying
ALLAH HAFIZ
P.S: I try to express my unbiased opinion, if contaminated, my apologies. (Capital Talk-30th July 08)
I recently came across an article of yours in The News titled ‘The 100-day Betrayal.’ It’s always good to see that some intellectual gems do make it into our parliament afterall. However, I’m preplexed after finding out that you are affiliated with the PML-Q. This is not to suggest that PML-Q is any better or worse than any other parties in the Pakistani political arena. But I do have a strong, unexplained, negative bias against the Chaudhri brethren. How do you justify yourself in a party that was and is still known as the King’s party and whose leadership is written off by most political analysts as ‘lotas’.
I have also seen your website – a brilliant idea. I would like some sort of reply to the email or through a post on your website on why any Pakistani should believe you on your commitments? What makes you different than others?
Dr Rizwan,
Pls provide me more details on my gmail address so that I can help the girl you mentioned. I have been to Ayub Medical on July 26th in connection with Ayubia accident of Lorali children. Will do what I can.
Well ,1st of all thanks to Allah that some politician finally releazed the need of communication with us ,the awam, and thanks to you for implementing it 1st time .
Marvi you impressed alot cause of your PRE speech work in the form of proofs or reports you bring along with you in TV talk shows.but i feel that sometimes you don t behave in civilized or gentle way.i just saw you last time on capital talk and you talked really fine hope you would continue this .i personally feel great to listen you hope you would try to understand things apart from your POLITICAL AFFILIATIONs but in interest of humans living in this country….
i must say i have seen 1st time some politician other than PRESIDENT OR PRIME MINISTER Who made some inet webspace and this simply shows your modern approach towards politics .I wish you lots of successes on this path of politics,and pray to ALLAH that your all successes become success of PAKISTANI FOLKS too…..and never forget this weblog site ..and keep updating us about your accomplishments.
and one thing more,though i am not advocative or lover of acts done by PML q or PRESIDENT musharraf .but i am appreciating this lady for her courage to speak out loud what she thinks right or wrong .please learn to respect people s ideas and at least say thanks to this lady for her public appearance ,not a single politician has such dare to come and talk in public,or in INET platform.if some one is trying to change TREND of our politics please appreciate him or her .
I have had 3 abnoxious mails through this particular page which I have not displayed since I dont believe in promoting terrible language and twisted thoughts! My only hope is that all parliamentarians come up to the awaam’s expectations so that we are all respected. Written vulgar abuses dont achieve much. If you disagree it can be done in a civilized way too and then it can be published on the page. That is the kind of politics I want to see in Pakistan.
In response to Mr Husnain … He asked
“why any Pakistani should believe you on your commitments? What makes you different than others” … The top of my mind response is….
I hope my commitment is believed, because of the motto which I am trying to follow….
Tangible results not just talk. I am trying to walk the talk. All the meetings I have are with the same purpose. Frankly there is no need for a regular opposition MNA to have meetings with experts to get solutions to our national security including energy and food crisis. Normally thats govt’s job. I am trying to do that and trying to be constructive.
Time will tell. And results will show. So far I have had good progress on lots of issues like for example glaciers/ Disaster management; because I try and push govt towards resolution. Its a new approach. Read the article on food security, read the july 27th diary page, read even the press release trying to warn govt for not being so pro-Indian, read the northern area bill which is the first time in parliamentary history. There are many other examples but its a journey. Everyday I try hard to do something useful. Results not just talk. I am just starting the journey. I know one has to be very persistent to get results. I had to raise glacier issue thrice and scream on assembly floor to get PM to listen and before I got whip in parliament to call disaster management team to resolve issue. Persistence to keep trying till results come in. Its lots of work when one is in opposition because one cant fix issues oneself. One has to push govt to fix, because govt has the power to sign solutions. Much easier to fix when in govt.
Even a simple dinner at any ambassador’s residence is lots of work; to push for constructive collaborations between our two countries. Its not just sushi and small talk! Thats my approach.
Even though I am in opposition and will get no direct credit for my party as a result of the fixes. As long as country wins thats the real and only win. Everyday there is lots that we do which is confidential which I cant post but which is good for Pak. And hopefully one day those pages will also be posted
We all know the issues of Pak. Its pointless arguing over whether we created them or the current govt. What is important is collective wisdom in solving them…Please post solutions on this page so that I can convince govt to fix things accordingly. Let this page be a truly useful excersise for the country
before imaginations run wild…by ‘confidential meetings’ in my earlier post i mean.. opposition’s strategy meetings… those are being recorded too separately and at the right time when my hair is grey enough I will share those too. I see those meetings with leadership as learnings and history in the making. There is a logic to the madness and a logic to each decision and strategy.
As you have given us ,the awaam,a lift by connecting this way ,i want to pose a question ,would you like to do some thing for misplaced individuals ,i know its very sensitive issue but Marvi, that person could be your father or my brother ,if its their turn then one day it would be someone else turn too.i consider you as sensible human and want that you do some thing on this issue as well ,secondly if nothing can be done for them ,then at least support for their families could be arranged ,they are our Muslim brother and sisters they are our responsibility.i don’t know what are your Party s beliefs about this thing but after seeing REFLECTION of nanga parbat in your photo collection i expect a lot from your sensibilities.
AoA
Irrespective of concerns raised about the loyalty of a politician, an educated person should focus on “JOB IS DONE”, whether there appears “Choudharys”, “Mians”, “Newly born Zardari-Bhuttos” or “Mr/Ms Xs”. We are gossiping about educated stuff, are we on the right track of education? I acknowledge the participation of Ms. Memon in three committees including IT which has-I am afraid-something very little to do with education to establish the conscious of youth.
I shuffle and find Dr. Atta-ur-Rehman’s launch of IT tsunami (sorry for this word but it proved an extravagant policy) about seven eight years ago. The misunderstanding of the concept followed by the mismanagement led to thousands of Internet Café with horrendous outcomes which we had witnessed with a deep sorrow. The good we achieved, ofcourse is worth mentioning but it’s not the objective of this post. A country having about 70% habitants in rural areas have limited or no excess to basic education and rest constitutes about 50% literacy rate (definition is negotiable). I am not pessimistic, however we need to re-consider our education policy. I had a chance to have bird’s eye view of the education policy forwarded by Mr. Ahsan Iqbal (65 pages). I could not find any such policy from PML(Q) except one paragraph-of little satisfaction for me-in the manifesto under the head of “Development”. If you have any education policy in hands, would you please share the link.
I feel so much lost sometimes when I try to envisage Ms. Memon-one-size-fitting-all, something is ofcourse better than nothing. I feel sorry when I find lavish spending on the name of foreign scholarships.
We will have hundreds of PhDs by another two or three years- do we have sufficient infra-structure to accommodate them or simply we are trying to facilitate brain-drain?
I appreciate the efforts and do not doubt the sincerity of HEC, are we spending on the right lines?
Do we need to spend millions of dollars to ensure foreign qualified PhD scholars or we can spend this fortune to hire foreigners for our universities and let our universities to establish?
Do we need the cash-flow in IT or for those highly skilled programmes or we can have a balanced scheme for basic grounds as well as for highly skilled plans to raise the conscious of youth?
Take care and keep praying
ALLAH HAFIZ
P.S: Thanks for getting some time for all of us and your tolerance is highly acknowledged.
You look very energetic and enthusiastic with a spirit to do something for this outcast nation. Please do something in the education sector. I belong to Thrparkar and literacy ratio of this desert area, swelterring with the heat of illeteracy anf poverty, is terribly only 17%, where as last PM Shaukat Aziz and CM Sindh Ghulam Rahim both were elected from the same area, however, the former left the constituency. This is what we got from these treahers. I clearly remeber the sppech of Shaukat Aziz made in Mithi, dist Tharparkar, when he made hollow claims that he would make Thar as Dubai. But regret to say there are only two towns which are gifted with river water via a pipeline and rest of the inhabitants have to use the saltish water of the wells. Only four towns and few villages are electrified and remaining are still lying in the darkness of backwardness.
Your party must not forget that you have made a clean sweep by winning 4 provinicial and two national assembly seats from this forgotten territory. Arbab sahib is enjoying a lavishing life in Arabian desert having forgotten his own desert.
Majority of the hidus live in this area so they may not be ignored in this pathetic way.Its my request that you may visit Thar and see the deplorable condition of the people or not then do watch movie Ramchand Paksitani which had been shot in Thar. It clearly depicts gloomy picture of Thar.
Its very perplexing why this region is being ignored by every government- whether for being border area or govt’s biased policies against minorities. I really laud Musharraf for doing something for this region by developing network of roads and water for two towns. In actuality, these facilities were given to facilitate Chinese working at Thar Coal project, but in the long run it would facilitate the locals.
So many things to say but I think brevity is soul of wit. Therefore, some practical implementation must be done.
First of all, nice to see this website and see some educated people in our politics. But i’m not sure what are your reasons to stick with PML Q – they have done enough bad to the country that this party doesn’t deserve to be with.
But at the end i respect your vision and your contitutional right of speech & to be with any party.
You have a flare for misusing statistics – Ever considered working for Shaukat Aziz? Would you approve the kidnapping of Mr. Aziz from UK and bring him to justice in Afghanistan.
first of all i will like to appreciate ur sense of photography..nice nature pics:)
now lets come to point
my point is can u guide me how to enter in pakistani politics?i mean whts the creteria and conditions?and how we start it like how to join any party?whts the procedure and all
it will be nice of u if u guide me
thnks
It’s really startling that you just wiped away my last post from this page rather than replying me. What i wrote was true of my area and what what your ‘respected’ leaders did for this area was also true. Since you always defend your party and your support for it and for Musharraf so I felt it comfortable to ask you aboout our ‘patriotic’ leaders who are now out of country after bagging the money.
I hope there’s is no harshness in my tone but its a question which every person of my area wants to know. So let it be answered.
I have heard and seen you in many a tv interviews… you are a credit to our society.
Can you please find out about Dr Afia,missing for well over 4years…justice and humanity demands that this is corrected, a mention in your newsletter, would be a start.
Thank you,
May Allah bless us in our quest.
Wow i must say this is so nice to see a person from the parliment to be on the internet and listening to the actual ‘awaam’ – so nice of you marvi.. perhaps you should encourage other leaders to open up their blog just like you’ve done.
As for my comments on inter faith dialogue, national security strategy and strategy to manage extremism, I’d say that the extremists have reached at a point where they are no longer negotiable – they have been brainwashed to hurt Pakistan and Pakistanis. The extremists are like zombies which are ‘laa – ilaaj’ (have no cure). The only solution is, to arrest them, and if they show resistence, then (unfortunately) kill them – and at the same time, go to those places where these extremists are growing up – talk to their children and women and explain to them how those extremists are wrong.. after all, women and children may just be able to get an understanding of what the established extremists do not.
Cheers and keep up the good work.
P.S. I do not believe in any party – as all parties here are based around personal interest – but you sound like you are someone with dedication towards her country and people – so i’d pray that you take over the chaudry brethren soon and become the leader of the party.
And of course, I’d like you to re-think your decision of supporting a dictator so passionately. Do you honestly feel that a man who is ruling on Pakistan using the power of his military uniform is worth your support? Re-think.
Marvi you have all rights to protect and defend Musharaff BECAUSE with out would not have in Parliment. This shows your Loyality:)
However, I do ask, How do you feel to defend a dictator who has only 3% popularity among public. (Latest surveys shows)
You should think about this point before being a blind loyal to your master. This just my humble opinion and advice because i think you can do much better if find the right path.
Well Marvi,
before saying anything i would like to ask whether this place is also available for those who has ideological differences with u??????
To introduce myself,i am shahid from N.W.FP Pakistan.A masters degree holder in Political science and LLB.
I watched u quite a number of times over channels and i think u as a lady with a thinking mind.but i would honestly suggest that insead of going for cliche and taboo works,u better go for something genuine.I would suggest that instead of trusting the knowledge gained by books and by ”Briefings”,u must try real politics.i mean that politics which is called street politics.i know it would be difficult for a person of elite class like u but that is essential if u wana leave some mark.
At the end if u really honour difference of opinion then we can talk
AoA,
Well done mam you did a brilliant job. and i hope it will be very much to support you to find the things whatever that is …. and you make a symbol for all may Allah give us sence how to do their duties.
may Allah bless on you keep it UP……
Party Leadership must be respected and party discipline must be maintained. I have chosen to be in PML due to its links to Quaid’s original party and I am grateful for the PML giving me a chance to be a PML MNA. Leadership bashing in the emails I have received by some of you is not productive activity. I believe there is good in most individuals and one must learn from leadership the good. One must zoom into good and ignore the rest, in general in life. That gets you positive approach.
@ true paki (August 3, 2008 at 7:52 am)
Recently one of my friends, who belongs to a mediocre family, asked me about the shortcuts of getting rich.
“Only two ways, either to have a rich father or father-in-law”, it’s what normally people think at the top of their heads.
“How to be a politician?”, around the horizons of Southeast Asian politics, reality is not very much different from the above-mentioned myth. My dear, do we need to be a politician to recognise our strengths and utilise these for the welfare of our people? I am sure “not”, if we identify our circles of influence irrespective how big or small these are. Having said that, it’s not an easy accomplishment to sustain the integrity of thoughts and ideology, once the mesmerisation of power commences shackling.
@ Kapil Dev (August 2, 2008 at 2:22 pm)
I remember the budget for higher education was Rs. 3.9 billion in 2001-02, which skyrocketed to an astounding Rs. 33.7 billion in 2006-07. The reasons of such an astonishing increase are self-explanatory. We like to charge ourselves as recently labelled by Mr. Gillani before going to USA. (My intentions are not to highlight the reasons therefore I am skipping). I respect Dr. Atta-ur-Rehman a lot but I keep my right to disagree with the policies. Last year, Dr. sb. with his dedicated team of HEC was in Trieste, Italy and raising slogans of hollow successes, including 300 percent increase in research publications, nine new universities will be inaugurated soonish in affiliation with European teaching faculty, a revolution by the return of about 3000 foreign qualified Pakistani PhD students and every year about 1500 PhDs from Pakistani Universities and bla bla bla.
Has he ever thought of “Mr. Kapil Dev” who is demanding a primary school/basic education for his vicinity? It’s a shame to spend Rs. billions on something which could benefit only fraction of fraction at the cost of millions of prospective scientists of Pakistan and who knows leaders of the world. I think it’s enough for the time being to absorb and think “What’s wrong with us”?
@ Marvi Memon (August 5, 2008 at 11:37 am)
The party of Quaid’s ideology, one can quote, may be hundreds of expressions from Quaid’s life which are enough to shatter what PML (at that time used to be “Q”) had been practicing over years and what it is comprised of. I feel sorry for any alphabet of PML due to their birthplaces-GHQ, some have achieved their freedom while for some future will decide. My words start wavering, when I think to advice someone who occupies much higher intellectual position than myself so I leave it to her.
@ All
I had to, in the past, sometimes guide and direct my niece who was 6 years old about four years ago. It sounds bizarre, trying to convince someone considering she is wrong about her political affiliation, whose son is older than my younger niece. A graduate form London must have a vision, I am sure do have, to scan a range from “the best” to “hazardous”. It’s her choice to get satisfaction with “Just OK” as one could think or justified/exaggerated it to “the best”. Let’s leave the politics for politicians and think of/for “awam”!!!
Dear Marvi
I would hmbly disagree wid u regarding ur last post.u said” have chosen to be in PML due to its links to Quaid’s original party and I am grateful for the PML giving me a chance to be a PML MNA”
Well first of all i humbly disagree with ur point that PML Q has any link with Quaid’s original party.u have a right to join any party but linking it to Quaid’s original party is quite a strange satatement.in the true sense of the term it can hardly be called a party.see it was an amalgamation of a number of parties having presence in parliament(not to forget the turncoats of different partis like PPP patriots).after a five year un-intrrupted rule and three prime ministers,it had to face only one general election of 2008.And u know the result.
Moreover may i humbly ask if Marvi memon was not the daughter of Senator Nisar memon then whwther she would ever be able to get a ticket of even a union council.What was the criterion to get a ticket of women reserve seat in parliament????
Hope u wount mind my comment and querry.If anything annoying then sorry
Regards
shahid

Enough of politics and personal clashes. Let me quote Ms. Marvi Memon (August 1, 2008 at 1:35 pm)
“Let this page be a truly useful excersise for the country”
I would request everyone to help her bringing more productivity to this forum and proper delegation of tasks, and leave the cynical attitude and point scoring tactics for “Gladiators” of the political spheres.
So her Excellency “MNA Marvi Memon”, it would be great if you could update us about the recent two requests
1. By Dr. Rizwan (July 31, 2008 at 12:57 pm) about an injured/ paralyzed 3rd year MBBS student of Ayub Medical College, Abbottabad, who was compelled to abandon her studies by the administration of the college due to tragic mishap.
2. By Ms. Ambar Ghaffar (August 1, 2008 at 2:58 pm) about the missing persons.
You are not accountable to us but we would appreciate, if you could let us know that our “brainstorming” and “trusting Ms. Memon” was not a mistake. We know things are not going to change overnight, but you atleast can share whatever you have done and/or your farsighted approach in few explicit lines. I wonder such electronic gadgets like computers and PDAs are going to substitute Pakistani “street politics” in future, and welcome you being the “innovator”.
Take care and keep praying
ALLAH HAFIZ
Thankyou NSS for bringing the focus back on. I am late on both deadlines given by you all.My apologies. Need more time for them. Have my hands full with current political situation. Tks for your patience.
AoA
It’s alright. Though I am away from my soil for a short while, yet I fully apprehend the existing political whirlpool. Take your time and no need to say sorry, atleast you are one of few, who are in touch with the public and we acknowledge your hospitality.
Despite of his philosophical vision and controversial believes, Socrates is still remembered in history for defending his believes till sipping a pint of hemlock. After Islamabad declaration today, it’s a time for you guys to exhibit courage. It’s nice to hear ex-CM of Punjab and Sh. Rasheed, let’s see how things settle.
Take care and keep praying
ALLAH HAFIZ
Dear Marvi as I have watched the transparency introduced by PML-Q govt erode from the system I am becoming increasingly alarmed by the civil dictators of PML-N and PPP. I will love to discuss with you about forming a political action group that will empower and rally people at grass root level by using IT and mass media. This will be highly philanthropic, legal, in-expensive and revolutionary.
Best,
You have my email address
Just watched a clip of you speaking in Hamid Mir’s Capital Talk. Frankly, I cannot appreciate your support for Musharraf. Opinions aside, it is a fact that Pervez Musharraf dismissed the judiciary in his capacity as COAS.
In any case, you are extremely inexperienced. Your remarks were crude, off the topic, useless, and in one word: pathetic. The very things you accuse the ruling coalition of, were committed by Gen Musharraf. He has admitted selling citizens of Pakistan to the US of A.
It is an absolute waste of time and enrgy supporting you in your endeavours.
Presuming your well intentions for Pakistan, I would wish you well. However I cannot, because what you intend could reverse Pakistan.
Dear Marvi
I m not affiliated with any political party because of so many reasons. To day I saw TV talk show capital talk. I like the way you put your question and answer. Seeing you as a member of parliament make me feel good. In this show you done well. But where were you when Mr. shukat aziz was looting this country? Why did not you raise your voice? For God sake think about this country which came in to being after many sacrifices of our fore father. Please do some real thing for this country. All we are enjoying is due to this country. We have liability towards this land. Please do some thing for the people of Pakistan. India building dams and we are sleeping. CNG stations getting profits 135%. Crude oil price decrease $114 a barrel but no relief to people of Pakistan. Government announce CNG price but CNG owners charging higher rate. Where is writ of the government? I use to listen “MEHDI HASSN MILI NAGMA YEH WATAN TUMHARA HEY, TUM HO PASS BAN IS KEY” and this makes me emotional. I request you to please listen it and advise other fellows to listen.
God bless you.
Dear Miss Marvi Memon,
Today,I watched your speech and Arguments in capital talk to defend Pervaiz Musharaf.
You said that Mr.Musharf has not voilated the constitution.
I pray that you may be abducted by FBI of USA.You may be taken to Bagraam Airbase. Then US troops rape you there for five years
Then you will understand that where Mr.Musharaf has voilated the constitution of Pakistan.This shameless person has sold away ourPakistani sisters and there are still shameless women like who are defending this Rascal.
how will defend the act of Musharaf of selling Pakistani Citizens to USA.If He sells you to FBI for 1 million Dollars then it will be very good deal.
And I assure you one day he will do if he remains in the power.You are really disgusting lady defending such a rascal who sold our sisters and Daughters to U.S.A.
I think it will not be easy for you swallow.and you may remove it from website.But if you are bold and you can defend your self then you should not remove this comments and give me answer
Dear Mam,
I read all above comments there is no doubt that you introduce first time in our politics this kind of discussion where everyone have same right to tell his arguments and whatever he have to ask. But please, please don’t favor that person who is the main reason and have large contribution to collapse the country economically, socially, and esthetically and we all are known about the terrible situation of Pakistan. And as you know the next week position going to submit the charge sheet against him so I think we are afraid that he could use the sword of 58 2B so kindly you people who are the big supporter of him and still defending him let him stop to do that because this time we are could not bear that kind of things with the Pakistan. Because this will be last with the Pakistan and I am afraid too much that we can lost our prestige and our country too. Now we are all wanting the accountable him in the Supreme Court.
At last once again I will appreciate your efforts and hearing the truth.
Regards
hey
I watched your program “capital talk” with Hamid Meer.I was very surprised to see how rudely and shamefully you are defending the case of the General Musharraf. Now you are the next card after Nellofar and Kshhmala.But I am sure after some days you will be with them and accusing the General Musharraf.I must condemn your hypocritical and disgraceful attitude. You don’t deserve for the anydebating shows you actually deserve somewhere else.
Dear Marvi
please try to avoid to act againt the teaching of Holy prophet. (S.A.W)
To day Mr.Iqbal ehsan of PML(N) talking to news men gave the answer to the question about the president for giving a safe passage for his exit. He said this should not be happened and no one left without punishment of his sins. If it happens then every body should given the indemnity and all criminals in prison should be released. I thought he is a reasonable man but he is not. Because he forget about the person whom he and his party members are begging for, is the main beneficiary of “NRO”. And I think he is so innocent that he does not know about the “NRO”. Being Muslim he must know the saying of Holy Prophet (S.A.W) “nations were destroyed because they did not punish elites of society and punish severely to other people.” This NRO will be enough to destroy us as mentioned in Hadith
I’m a fan! I’ve been through your website and seen you a number of times on TV. You’re doing a great job! look forward to seeing you achieving even greater heights.
I must take this opportunity to mention that I also have tremendous respect and regards for your father.
Dear Marvi
In todays Dawn News “OIL MINISTRY ASKED TO CAP SUBSIDY AT RS.140BN” Would you please tell us what is the actual price of oil without adding any tax. This will help me to determin what kind of subsidy is our government is giving to the people of Pakistan. The gasoline price in Canada was Can$1.23 when the crude oil was above US$140. Is Canadian governemnt is also giving subsidy on gasoline? Althouh we are getting oil cheaper because less distance from exporting countries. Please do not fool people of Pakistan. Just do what ever you polititian want to do, the people of Pakistan can’t stop you people from looting this country.
For God sake stop this now and be honest with you job.
helo,
plz raise ur voice angainst the issue of oil prices as oil price has fallen to 116$ but the ministry and ogra are stil sleeping.plz wake them up n remind them that ogra meeting is supposed to take place enery week and its duty is to regulate the oil pricr not just to increase the oil price,also ask them whether they consulted parliment before making the agreement of ending all subcidy with word bank.
with profound regards
shahab
Marvi you did not respond to my last mail, I need your help to find someone who can finance a campaign by a political action group. We want people to realize how much taxes they are paying and what they should expect in return. Moreover we want them to realize that civil dictators can be worse than military dictators.
Dear Marvi!
i appriciate your efforts in regards of National Security and Pakistan’s great intrest…Have seen you a number of time on electronic media and it was great to listen you in there. So honestly, I am happy with the presence of such people in PML Q. I salute you what you , Mr president and other few people (such like you) did , doing and will always do in the graet intrest of our motherland(Pakistan)…. i want to ensure you that there are still Hundered thousand of people in pakistan, love Mr President and want to see him as a president for the rest of their life and abviousley i am one of them. So Weldone and keep Supporting him with same passion and dare. God be with you !
I’ve been watching you on the tv shows defending musharraf. I know you are a great debater, you can leave the opponent speechless but i do not know how musharraf earned sympathy from you. I am not from any Political Party I am from the group, which people call ‘KHAMOOSH AKSARIAT’ who form the ‘AWAAM’.
I have so many things to write but I am unable to write I know it will go astray. I will not say that please change your affiliation, you are justifying wrong acts with lame excuses. just imagine, Prisoner 650 is Marvi Memon, will you have the same feelings regarding musharraf and PML Q. I am not requesting a reply just imagine…..
Dear Miss. Marvi, I saw u first time on Capital Talks of GEO, and I was really impressed by your thoughts and loyelty to Mr. P. Mushharf. I am a fan of President Musharraf too. Not coz of his personality only but coz of his policies too. I had posted many mails to him on his web site, and to PLQ Leader’s web site too. I expressed my views in those about that time’s political senario. Mein syaasat say kuchh ziada waqif nahin. lekin itna bewaqoof bhi nahin k PLMn or PPP ko sachha maan loon. Since last week, when PPP announced the impeachment of President, mein kuchh views share karna chahtaa tha. there were some points i noted durring the announcement of impeachment and after that. I wonder k aapka or President sahab ka think tank in cheezoon ko highlitght kyoun nahin karta.. for instence..
1)) When PPP & PMLn announced the impeachment on the wall behind them they had the pictures of Buhtto’s but not of Qaed-e-Aazam. (((( This should be brought up, as QAED-E-AAZAM K PAKISTAN KA, OR ISKI TAREEKH KA EK ITNA AHAM FAISLAA KIYA JAA RAHA HAI, OR ITNI BHI TOFEEQ NAHIN K UNKI EK TASWEER HI DEEWAAR PAR AAWEZAA’N KAR DE JAAE. may be they will answer to it, K, QAED-E-AAZAM TO HAMAARAY DILOON MEIN HEIN, then the response to it should be, k KIYA BHUTTO, BENAZIR, BALAAWAL OR MIAN SAHAB DIL MEIN NAHIN THAY, K UNKI TASWEER LAGAANAY KI ZAROORAT MEHSOOS HUE???? )))
2)) Impeachment mein har cheez ko uchhala jaa raha hai, even that, the price rise in pakistan is coz of his policies, the load shading is coz of his policies, the appointment of PM Shokat Aziz was his wrong dicission and so on… TOU?? ((( PRESIDENT NAY “”NRO” KIYA THA, JIS MEIN WO SUB LOG JIN PAR PAKISTAN KA PAISA LOOT KAR BAHAR BHEJNAY KA ILZAAM THA, UNKAY TAMAAM MUQADMAAT ADAALAT SAY WAPAS LE LIYE GAE THAY. AGAR EK GHAIR AAENI SADAR KA HAR IQDAAM GHAIR AAENI HAI, TO “NRO” KO BHI GHAIR AAENI QARAAR DENE KI BAAT KYOUN NAHIN KI JAARAHI??? YE BHI IMPEACHMENT KA HISSA HONA CHAHIYE. AGAR SACKING OF JUDGES EK GHAIR AAENI IQDAAM THA? OR ISKO EK EXECUTIVE ORDER SAY WAAPAS LAAYA JAA SAKTA HAI, TO “NRO” BHI USI SHAKHS NAY KIYA THA, KIYA WO EK EXECUTIVE ORDER SAY WAPAS NAHIN KIYA JAA SAKTA? IS PAR PPP OR PMLn KYOUN BAAT NAHIN KARTIEN???
3)) 58-2B,, SADAR K HAATH MEIN EK TALWAAR HAI,, OR IS KO BHI WAPAS LIYA JAANA CHAHIYE, OR YE JO TARMEEM KI GAE THI, IS KA BHI MUAAKHZAA HONA CHAHIYE. AGAR IS KO SEHI MAAN BHI LIYA JAAE? TO YE TALWAAR UNKAY HAATH EMIN “MMA” NAY DI THI, KYA “MMA” KI LEADERSHIP KA BHI EHTASAAB KIYA JAANA CHAHIYE?? K UNHOON NAY US WAQT EK GENERAL KA SAATH KIYOUN DIYA THA?? OR PAKISTAN MEIN JAMHOORIAT K MUSTAQBIL KO KYOUN KHATRAY MEIN DALLAA THA????
4)) PPP OR PMLn RESTORATION OF JUDGES KA SLOGAN LAGAA KAR ELECTION MEIN UTRI THEIN, USKAY BAWAJOOD IN DONOO PARTIES NAY USKO PEECHHAY DAAL KAR, SADAR KI IMPEACHMENT KA MASLAA KHARAA KIYA OR WO BHI 6 MAHINAY K BAAD, KIYA GAURENTEE HAI, K NIYA SADAR LAATAY WAQT YE MAZEED 1 SAAL NAHI LARTI REHEIN GI??? KIYA IS MEIN PAKISTAN KA MUSTAQBAL KHATRAY MEIN NAHIN PAREGA, TO PHIR YE DONO PARTIES ABHI APNA SADAR KYOUN NAHIN ANNOUNCE KARTI, TAKEY AWAAM KO ITMINAAN REHE, K SADAR K MAS-ALAAY PAR YE DONO PAKISTANI AWAAM KI PROBLEM KO PASH-E-PUSHT NAHIN DAALEINGI..
I agree, k shayad ye kuchh itnay strong points nahin k politically is say faeda uthhaya jaa sakay, lekin hamaari awaam ki soch bhi itni deep nahin k wo qanooni complications ko samajh sakay, wo inhi choti choti baatoon say leadar ka intakhaab karti hein. Beside i think k agar in points ko sehi moqay par or sehi tareeqay say project kiya jaae, or with due attitude, to kam az kam, CAPITAL TALK jese program mein atleast ye HAMID MEER ko bhi sochnay par majboor zaroor kareingi, k in topics par PPP or PMLn ka jawaab kiya raha..
IN THE END, I HOPE U WILL READ MY MAIL. AND WILL FIND IT WORTH TO BE READ. AGAR ISKA KOE RESPONSE AAYA, TO INSHA ALLAH, AAENDA BHI AAP SAY COMMUNICATION REHEGA.
SADAR PARVEZ MUSHHRAF KO MERA SALAAM KEHIYE GA, AND I WISH HE WILL WIN THIS BETTLE. AND GOOD TO YOU AND HIM BOTH. ALLAH HAFIZ.
This message is dedicated to Amber who asked me about Dr Afia in round about way and then got sarcastic! and for those who have asked me about Dr Afia in direct way…
PML has taken a stance to defend her. I have said the same on live tv in a press conference yesterday. Our Leader of Opposition said the same on the floor of the house.
The principle we are defending today versus perhaps when PML was in govt is …whatever the charges against her, she is a Pakistani and needs to be given fair trial to prove her innocence in Pakistan. that is the principle.
By uttering foul and vicious language against me does not solve any problems. I only published that foul language quote to exlain that I feel sorry for people who are so blinded by their hatred that they loose their language balance.
Aoa
Marvi Memon or should i say venom ,How come you contested elections while your father was a caretaker minister . We don’t need to see your loyalty because obviously you were employed by the president in ISPR and then in board of investment. It’s all in the family isn’t it. Father twice federal minister because of close friendship and daughter has two posts and now Mouthpiece MNA . Well done to Musharraf. Friendship is the only merit and nepotism is the only form of government PML Q and musharraf knows. Bibi yaad hai parha likha punjab , rozana ishtihar chalta tha aur phir 18 february kp kia howa.Bibi aap ka ishtihaar bhi rozana har channel pay chal raha . Allah khair karay , pata nahin shayad musharraf sahab ka 18 february say bhi bura haal ho ga , Inshallah ho ga.
Bibi kalay kartoot jab musharraf aur Q league kay saamnay aain gay phir tv pay aana aur apnay musharraf kaygun gaana .Phir dakhain gay.
Haan akhir main aik muhawara “Jab cheunti kay marnay kay din qareeb atay hain tou us kay par nikal aatay hain”
Tumhara musharraf ibrat ka nishaan banay gi . Lal Masjid ki waja say , shortcut aziz ki waja say , america nawazi ki waja say , Dr. Aafia ki waja say . Tumhara musharraf insaani smuggler hay .
Let’s see how far you and your father go after musharraf.
Good bye good riddance
This message is dedicated to all those who have been rude and obnoxious about my defence for the President.
In life I believe in consistency and loyalty to the STATE. My opinion is obviously that President is best for the State versus all those leaders who are selling Pakistan for their own power politics under the garb of democracy. Clearly not everyone agrees with me! But that doesnt mean I loose my belief system. I will fight for what I think is right and thats my right. Just like its your right to express what you feel. Clearly my beliefs are based on certain information and yours on your information. Time and history will show who was on the right side of history and democracy.
Plus I also realize that when the going gets tough then not many people have the courage to stand up for their beliefs. And at this time those who do stand up and fight for what is perhaps not looking so popular, are targeted with all sorts of nasty lies and comments. In my opinion, its best to ignore and not get affected by such yellow dirt.
Daughter of soil name gives me the courage to fight for what I believe is right. You might not agree, but I have shown tremendous tolerance by publishing all the vicious comments thrown at me and for responding.
Dear Marvi
Respose to your coment regarding Dr. Afia. I think every body is innocent unless otherwise proved guilty. Same should be the case of Dr. Afia. And if she is innocent then who is responsible for all the misery she faced. So my advice is do not deviate from the basic principles of humanity.God bless our country and give courage to our leaders to say truth.

What is your stand on missing person. Do you think Musharraf who handed over these people whether they were criminal or terrorists from pakistan to USA was legitimate. I donot see your stand or your party stand on this issue related to Musharraf, I . Musharraf has agreed he has done that. So is it legal or as per constitution of Pakistan.(remember the oath)
what are the rights of Woman you are fighting for. Can you tell this forum what are the ten things or rights you are fighting for Pakistani woman.
What you think should be done that not only our woman has maximum rights and equal rights and yet out society do not sway to western culture and moral value. How you plan to do that.
I really want to see your perspective on this issue or if you have delivered some speach on the floor or off the floor do let me know.
A O A,
Respected Madam Marvi.
I hope you will be enjoying in the best of your health
I saw you quite a few times on different TV shows,really you have an impressive personalty plus a very sweet voice Mashallah…..but why some people always try to defend a militry dictator….!! !! !!
why….?????????
To all,
Knitted strategies, underlying realities and power politics, I feel sorry when fields are crowded rather over-crowded with players of little relevant capabilities. Very first time, when I had a look of this weblog, I thought it was going to turn the focus to real words, circumventing personal issues and party biases. We worry a lot for what we do not and/or can not do anything. We do have horrendous issues than victimising or abusing the organiser of this blog. Let the politicians to play seek and hide and try to use her presence in an effective way by suggesting for the best.
To Ms. Memon,
Whether we learn from our past or not, we as a nation always remember ruthless mishaps including the one we have witnessed regarding human trade and it’s what Mr. President unconsciously/mistakenly presented in his untimely endeavour of no literal place (It’s what I am saying after going through deeply). I donot wanna portrait a picture, but the fact is you inherit a legacy. Though politics and politician have no definite doctrine system to drive them, however we do atleast, with all differences of opinions I do believe in your personal sincerity when you speak about Kashmir and Northern issues, missing persons, education and “awaam”. You talked about “Belief System”, it demands a lot and irrespective of orientation of such a system, once you have, you should abide by the rules of game. Interesting is to find a giant elephant helpless when tied with a rope, which he could break easily. It’s what they call “Belief System”. I am sure you had heard of this myth, I will send you anyways.
Hope with all these personal allegations, you would stand there firmly with what you hear when you are alone. It’s a peak time for a lot of street gossips, hope as the clouds get thinner and fainted, you would be around/with us to think about us, the “awaam”.
salam,
I have seen you on many talk shows and is very impressed by your logical talk on different issues, but I dont feel it good for the country that talent like you is with that political lobby which has always served the establishment, generals and anti democratic and anti peoples politics. I would like to see you on the forfront of democratic struggle to make our country free from Martial laws, emergencies, black laws and expliotations of the people and small nations. Thanks.
Rahmatullah Turk,
Matiari, Sindh.
I do agree regarding your tolerance of publishing all comments – and this is what makes a good parliamentarian.
I agree that the PPP is in no way better than Musharraf but then Musharraf is in no way better than PPP.. so basically they’re the same.. power-hungry people..
I’m just not in favour of a military dictator ruling a country with a force of a gun.. and someone who is loyal to the STATE understands that the STATE never benefits from a military dictator ruling on people – Mush may have done the right thing to throw out Nawaz’s govt. but he should’ve held elections where a president chosen by people should have been elected (and please dont remind me of that pre-planned thing called ‘referendum’ that mush designed to elect himself).
You are doing a great job defending the President. I like it that you come in well prepared with your facts and then use that to skewer your oponents when they start babbling about how nothing was accomplished in the past 8 years.
You’re going to go far lady. Please don’t switch sides, go to the dark side and turn into a Sherry Rehman. We need young role models like you.
Constructive criticism: Please lose the dupatta on the head. What’s up with that? It reminds me of the phony “Islamic Period” under Zia and Nawaz.
Salam
Its a breath of fresh air listening to you on different talkshows on different channels.Believe me madam you are a nightmare for most of the politicians of Pakistan.I have been recording interviews of many politicians through out my career.even the one which did no go on air,believe me your are a leader in the making and i mean a leader no less than Benazir.
When political parties come under stress,most of the socalled leaders run to the party which is in power,your commitment to your party is adorable.God bless u
I am impressed! and now I have a soft corner for Chauhdries just because of you. Its really amazing to see our politicians on internet having their own blog. Just want to request you one simple thing. We really love our country and hope same from all of the politicians out there. We all know that all of them do corruptions, but please not at the cost of Pakistan’s sovereignty.
We might forgive everything, but we can not forgive anyone who will try to danger the sovereignty of Pakistan for filling his banks. I Love every Pakistani if he behaves like a Pakistani.
I wish you all the best in your Political career, hope to see you leading us towards more progressive and bright Pakistan.
Dear All
Every body is speaking against the president; this is all our present government wants from the people of Pakistan. To divert the attention from the actual problems, government and the allies are quite successful. Is Mr. President advised the government not to decrease the price of petroleum products, and continue the war against terror in northern area. Even he is responsible for the law and order situation in the country. He is responsible for the poor sewerage system of Lahore. And I think more rains are his fault. Our so called government needs an escape goat to put all blames on it. But the fact is that they are all inefficient and liar and greedy. We the people can’t do any thing except pray to the God.
God bless our country and save it from these ………………………..
Mohtarma Marvi Memon, Few years ago I heard you in a function held at Pakistan Institute of International Affairs as I was there being a life member of the institute. Discussion was about immigrants. I found you a very talented and informative, comparetivly in a very young age. Later on I came to USA on scholarship for higher studies of intellectual Property Rights and presently living in Orlando, state of Florida.Although your party lost government but your work and talent is highly appreciated every where. Please keep up for a good cause of the wefare of depressed people of Pakistan. Thanking you, I remain very sincere to you, Sincerely your, KHWAJA AFTAB ALI, Advocate & I.P. Attorney
Dear Miss Marvi,
it is useless to cry over split milk.

Then how do you justify this act of these people.so you have some sense you should leave one of them.
So Madam now what you will be says? Finally END of Dictator’s why not he came to parliament and face the impeachment because he knew this time if he goes for impeachment anything can be happen with him. But I appreciate him that he accepted that he also did some mistakes very bravado man but should accountable otherwise everyone will try to do wrong and say SORRY we are all people of Pakistan could not bear the excuses because its already too much Mush. Should be accountable and punish and we want to freeze all his assets and give it to back in the account of Pakistan and please show some strength to the govt. and play your role as a powerful opposition. Because there is also too much BIG and WHITE ELEPHANT in the GOVT. every buddy knows who are waiting to sale out our country…. May Allah SAFE our country from ZARDARI. And his followers AMEEN
Regards
Now musharraf is gone while u were saying that he will not resign. what u say abt that beside saying that he did it for nation.
Why he wasted these 4-5 months n put our economy in turmoil
my name is Shoaib Khan and work as an IT Manager here in Australia for a company. First of all i would like to saulute you for the hard work you doing for pakistan with your body and sole.
i am amazed of your boldness, speeches, facing media, talk shows and best of the best you are supporter of Musharraf who is my ideal, and who grew Pakistan in last 9 years. i wish he was there till the end. but unfortunatly we live in a country which is full of corrupt people and corrupt, illitrate politician like Nawaz Sharif and Zardari.
i also read about you getting emotional on Musharraf resignation. i can understand your pain for the country.
i wish you all the best along with Musharraf and your party. and i hope you guys come back and save the country from these looters.
one more thing i don’t know how to say but you can assume that i am your greatest fan in the world.
Allah Khafiz
Last comment on 14th aug??? I am wondering peope has already forgotten Marvi:)
Well, i just came to share your grief about your master. Sad day but i hope you will not get disappointed and keep competeing in elections and we will get an opportunity to interact with you through this forum.Let’s see!!!!!
Why do not ak your so called popular MUSHaraff to come and join PML and stands in elections???
I get bored with political talk and usually avoid watching TV talk shows which are all stereotyped. However I watch your shows with interest. You are very articulate, logical and speak with sincerity and passion. You can express your point of view in a few words, which is quality of a good speaker. Being a childhood friend of your father, I have known you as a baby and as a school girl. Let me say you had germs of a good speaker from the very early age. I am sure you have a very bright future in Pakistani Politics.
Now a confession. Although I liked you very much, you never earned my respect because I am against dictators and all those who support them. But now I salute you because you have stood with a fallen man when most of his closest allies have left him. This human value I admire the most. Keep it up.
Thankyou to all those who feel I showed loyalty despite tough times. And special note for Mr Arshad who thinks President wasted 4 months of nation. It was coalition govt who put country through waste of time impeachment process which proved damaging for our economy. Time will tell all Pakistanis the coalition govt’s real motives.
i m kayoom from merciless territory of one of the most familiar part of pakistan.i m simply graduate,nowadays i m on the way to competative exams.actualy when i cam to know abt ur comments regarding the price hiking,inflation at a high,truely speaking i realised tht yet there is existence of a such sor of women who devoted herself for the moral right of people.it really hurted me lot wen i was told abt the resignation of president.i want to ask one question tht why the members of ur party r dispursed?
In Beijing, world celebrates human achievement while in Islamabad we are stuck with politics
I wish our people and our leaders would understand that having political differences should not stand in the way of appreciating progress
Thanks to President Musharraf export revenue more than doubled, foreign direct investment increased from a meager $1 billion to $8 billion, and the Karachi stock exchange was widely touted as one of the best performing markets in the world.
This is a man who gave Pakistan a free television news culture and oversaw the freest election in our history.
This is a manufactured political crisis that will embolden Pakistan’s ill-wishers and will sadly assure foreign investors that Pakistan is no place for their business.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—At the dawn of the Beijing Olympics, talk of Pakistan’s chances at field hockey glory have taken a back seat to the de-facto national sport: Politics.
Beyond the hype, it’s time to take a moment and examine the situation. It seems as if the nearly divorced coalition has decided to stick together in pursuit of the President’s impeachment.
One would be convinced of their genuine commitment, if not for the fact that the last such joint press briefing was to announce the Murree Declaration, now defunct.
But it’s important to look behind this smokescreen. After all, why would it take marathon talks if there weren’t serious problems behind the scenes?
Farooq Naik, the law minister, was kicked out of the talks—twice.
According to a report in the Daily Times, Shahbaz Sharif felt that Naik could not be trusted amidst the Sindh High Court judges’ fiasco, and asked Zardari to remove him from the negotiations not only in the Prime Minister’s House, but also at Zardari House.
I suppose it’s acceptable in political circles to ask your host to kick out his own guest.
In any case, a draft was agreed upon and presented to the nation for all to see. On the face of it, the case seems compelling for the common man: Musharraf has acted unconstitutionally, is responsible for the economic crisis, and he must go in order for democracy to flourish. A legal expert would be needed to examine the complex constitutional question, such as if the PCOs of 1999 and 2000 (both validated by the Supreme Court) are fair game for impeachment.
As for the economy and the democracy argument, things are a bit clearer.
It is hard to dismiss the vast economic improvements of Pakistan since 1999, and to float it as possible grounds for impeachment is laughable. Almost every major macro-economic indicator points to the economic turnaround of the past decade. Even if the 20-fold increase in foreign reserve levels can be whisked away as a byproduct of foreign aid, what about the results? On the business side, export revenue more than doubled, foreign direct investment increased from a meager $1 billion to $8 billion, and the Karachi stock exchange was widely touted as one of the best performing markets in the world. The National Commission for Human Development was conceived, helping achieve poverty reduction, a rise in literacy, and a 600% increase in funds for development programs. I wish our people and our leaders would understand that having political differences should not stand in the way of appreciating progress and pursuing our national interests; the economy being supreme.
As for democracy, it seems ironic that an elected President who oversaw the fairest elections in Pakistan’s recent history is being cited as a hindrance for democracy by two unelected politicians.
But even more important is the fact that the duly elected Prime Minister, as well as the leading party’s president (also an elected member of parliament) were both not present in the talks.
Makhdoom Amin Fahim has gone as far as to publicly separate himself from the Government, denounce the march to impeachment, and plead the Government to take notice of a very serious and rapidly deteriorating security and economic situation. He supposedly has even met with PML-Q leadership, which must have political analysts grabbing their calculators to re-analyze the number game in the event of some treasury members abstaining from an impeachment vote.
Critics of President Bush often rightfully say that the war in Iraq was a “war of choice.” The impeachment saga is no different. In the face of unprecedented security threats in the tribal belt, with growing reports of foreign interference to destabilize the country, and an ever-worsening economy, this manufactured political crisis will embolden Pakistan’s ill-wishers, and will sadly assure foreign investors that Pakistan is no place for their business.
No matter how impeachment goes, no one seems to win, as Pakistan is definitely the one to lose. Let’s hope at least our Olympic team can change that.
Indeed, yesterday was a very sad day for all Pakistan and President lovers. We have been deprived of a great leader in the name of democracy. But let me say, all it happens because of we silent majority who never cast its vote. If this silent majority cast its vote in Feb 2008 election, the situation might be different. He was the man who have a vision on each and every problem of the nation whether it is water, electricity, education and health etc. He took the economy on its peek and its benefits were supposed to tickle down to the poor during this five years which unfortunately have been given to the corrupt political leaders in the name of democracy. Democracy in Pakistan itself is joke, where people doesn’t know for whom they are casting their votes due to illiteracy. They have been asked just to put the stamp on such and such election symbol; where the vote is casted not on the basis of parties manifestos, but on the basis of different affiliations i.e. religious, baradri, under the influence of Sardar, Vadera, Jagirdar and so on. That’s why, during last 61 years, we are having politicians from the same segments of the society for whom the politics is business and trade who either way whether they come into the power or remain in opposition, make money and accumulate their bank balances and assets. Their parties are their properties i.e. PPPP, PML(N), PML(Q), APN, JI(F) of their family and run by the family members only one after the other. The history reveals that only 30 to 40% registered voters cast their votes which is divided into number of political parties. Keeping in view the influence of aforementioned segments, official and unofficial riggings, the party who gets hardly 10% votes claims the majority party having overwhelming majority for forming the government. The remaining 70%/60% registered voters who do not cast their vote and unregistered voters are given no value and its impact is totally ignored. The dilemma of our nation is that we were sleeping on 13th August, 1947 and when woke up next morning we got a new country called Pakistan. If we go through the history, we will find that only a handful personnel from the existing Pakistan region took the part in Independence movement. That’s why majority of us and especially our leaders don’t have national spirit. We and our leaders always keep in our minds our own interest and benefits only. Whatever has happened with President Musharaf provides us an opportunity to think about the lake of sincere leadership, our political environment, the character and attitude of our politicians and above all is this the true democracy? Our leaders are making the general public fool in the name of democracy and enhancing their wealth and assets. Now the destiny of our nation and country is in the hands two unelected corrupt leaders. President well said in his last address to the nation “Pakistan Ka Khuda Hafiz”. I strongly believe that without eliminating feudal and bradri systems, increasing literacy level and cultivating national spirit we cannot have a true democracy. It seems only my dream since the power brokers in our country can never do it or allow to to it. In fact, it seems that our country is in the grip of different kind of mafias i.e. politicians, drug, land, food/grains mafia, stock exchange mafia etc and they are playing their respective roles for their own interest and gains. General public cannot do any thing to get any relief or to get rid of them unless and until there should be a bloody revolution in which at least 20/50 lakhs should be killed. There is no other option to save the country.

I am deeply shocked to hear your views on current Pakistan politics. Looking at your educational background, one would think that you will come up with ideas which are liberal, democratic and invite others to think. But unfortunately you have sided yourself with someone who has caused major destruction to the pakistan politics and society. Future generation will never forgive what Mufharaf has done in his 9 years as the most powerfull person in pakistan’s establishment. Its shame to see such a young person like you wasting her energies for a cause which has failed time and again. I can only wish you best of luck, may be you can use your energies in more positive way. You could have done (and may have done already) much better without your father’s influance which led you to the become MNA and that is from PML Q as well……what a shame…
what do you think there is no liability on president mushraff for his previous odds done to pakistan. Following this prcedence all the criminals under trials in various courts should also be freed what about the downing of atlantic aircraft by india in the face of kargil. your comments please.
Dear Marvi,
I think you got wrong agenda with wrong people. I don’t know but when defend Dictator Musharaf, i feel pitty for you.
I have heard you on TV “Shows”. Frankly speaking your talk is not that much effective. You always cry. hmmm.
I hope you will get some knowledge with time.
Bi bi musharaf. May God take the revenge from you of slaughring thousands of innocent people!
Marvi Weldone I have seen you on interviews on Pakistan television shows, and you are doing a difficult and excellent job as an opposition member. Keep it up!
Again I have some comments swearing at me for defending ‘dictator’ and other comments which express support for President Musharraf.
I was sitting in the Assembly yesterday and looking around myself… mostly (not completely)where ever I look everyone is wanting iktidaar and perks. We discussed tourism yesterday but the burning issues of food, energy, security, extremism get left behind. Some Advisor will stand up and glorify his achievements in one small area ignoring larger picture. Another will get up and blame it all on 8 years!
I have raised all the real issues but they dont come to forefront because govt pushes them out of agenda and when I tried to link ..how can you expect tourism to increase when extremism sectarian violence during your 5 months is on rise, I got told not relevant. Very frustrating.
I have also come to another conclusion… those who see good in President Musharraf’s era cannot change their minds and those who see bad in it cannot change their minds (just yet). Its best if we use this forum for solutions of above issues.
This morning the chap at the petrol pump I go to regularly, at the shop inside, spoke up after months; saying you ask good questions in the assembly but you get no answers. I was happy to see that the debates are watched. But saddened to see the helplessness. He is as convinced as I am that the real issues are not being debated and people play politics for wrong reasons as well as the fact that this discussion in assembly doesnt put any binding pressure for resolution even if real issues are discussed. So much for parliament’s real supremacy.
I am also asked by some why should we believe you when all politicians have failed us. My answer to that is I am trying very hard to push right agenda for discussion and solution when all of what the forces are trying to do is musical chairs. The real success rate is not the talkshows or the speeches, its getting solutions to the real problems resolved by govt. That is an uphill task. The silent majority must help us. I never give up and I dont like despondency. But I am a realist.
If you say you care about the country pls help me get solutions to the real issues implemented by this govt; by writing solutions and ideas. It doesnt matter whether you hate my leadership or like my leadership. Solutions to real issues pls. Govt has wasted enough time horsetrading and pushing vendetta politics first.
Madam
It is very refreshing to have explored a website that is being run by a living “on the job” parlimentarian.
I have not been able to read all of your replies and comments but even then it is provides solace.
Since you are an educated woman and coming from a noble background we expect you to do nobler things.
Here are some half cooked pointers:
You should try to make education, healthcare and social justice your prime targets to acheive. These are burning issues and have received no importance from the leadership that is worthy and revolutionizing the affairs prevelant in this country. For starters look for cheap construction solutions for 2/3 room basic health units in rural areas 9this can also go for housing) where people are dying just beacuse of insufficient health services. Provide special funds for the “real poor” and smart kids to acheive scholorships. One way would be to hold competitive exams for all classes all over pakistan for kids belonging tocertain income group. There could be a model tests run at various locations, shouldn’t be difficult.
I am sure you have plenty of issues at hand and workin on those but at the same time lets make this site a home turf for floating genuinely realistic solutions to facilitate for basic needs of all.
Hidden Activities Of Mr. Zard……..Aari & Mr. Shar…..If
Peoples Party’s so called Chairman Mr. Aasif Ali Zardari, is looking for an exit from his party, from Pakistan’s present mess and from active politics,Most probably, people of Pakistan might get sudden news that Mr. Zardari is seriously ill and would be away for som time from active politics,(and that ’some time’ might be forever) .in fact, Aasif Ali Zardari and Mr. Nawaz Sharif are virtually dead, gone, bifurcated,Pakistan’s some channels (so-called) anchor mafia and press are keeping them alive, trying to infuse life in their dead bodies, Everyday some popular and experienced pesons Newspapers put some headlines to boost the marale of the public. in fact, some (so-called) press and media’s ugly survivel is that of Mr.Zardar and Mr.Sharif,to keep the hot issue alive, like (under observation) Mr. Iftikhar Chaudhary, who is History now,Aitezaz Ahsan, would you bet your Bar-at-Law degree on that?ZARDARI BUSY CHECKING HIS BANK ACCOUNTSThe so-called Co-Chairman of peoples part has made than a dozen visits to London, Dubai and other parts of the world on record(no one knows how many hidden,secret visits elsewhere) after the assassination his wife.The Peoples Party’s loudspeaker like Sherry Rehman, (Sher Bano) Farhatullah Babar and many other use to giving justification that, Zardari’s these trips to the public through the some so-called media by saying that since ,Zardari is playing the part of both the mother and the father to his children after the (sad) assassination of Great Benazir Bhutto, so he has to be away to take care of his children, Bullshit!
They are no more children, They have attain pubirty, They are big kid, teenagers, grown up in the West. Aasif Zardari does not need to baby sit them or push feeders in their mouths, Thease are lame excuse. Zardari goes abroad ever now and then to check his bank accounts and count his properties,thans to Presiden Pervez Musharraf’s NRO! Pervez Musharraf and his alies would die deaths that would be an example for the world.and very sorry, Let me tell you that all of we and our political leaders are ugly,corrupt,freaky, stinking, and haggard, these race of we and leaders would die miserably and helplessly in leprosy,heart attackes,cancer, diabetes,HIV, and other painful .HUNDRED(100)days of senseless and empty slogans1, How many times Nawaz Sharif and Aasif Zardari had meetings in Lahore,Islamabad, Bhurban, Rawalpindi and Dubai and London.etc?2, How many times Aasif Zardari and Nawaz Sharif left for Dubai,London on record and secret visitis other destinations?3, Who is the man in power.PM Gilani or Governing party’s so-called Co-Chairman?4, The Costs of each and every utilities soaring,Like Gasoline has juggled at 70 to 78 PKR, Dollar has jumped to 74.89 Rs agains PKR.5, The innocent 99.99% of the peoples of Pakistan have been pushed towards pain, just empt, baseless, egoistic,dirtful claims and statements by these leaders,which are being heard to masses, Aasif Zardari repeatedly says Shaheed this, Shaheed that, jeay Bhutto, jeay Benazir, President House would be echoing with the slogans of Jeay Bhutto,nothing else? President would be the party’s worker. all the lollypops, drama are being played with the struggled workers, all Bullshit, my……..? (advance sorry)6, Believe us that Aasif Zardari, Nawaz Sharif, Pervez Musharraf and other political shungens have no interet in Great Pakistan, or Peoples or their own parties as wel, but Mr. Iftikhar Chaudhary,, all otherrs and Aasif Zardari just taking care of bank accounts and properties all over the world.
7, Zardari did not choose to become a Prime Minister in the first place, as he wanted privacy and confidentiality to organize his bank accounts and properties all over the world.a little bird has told us that as soon as Aasif Zardari is free, he would kick out the Yousuf Raza Gilani from PM House.8, The man known as Mr.Ten percent(in recent past) knows that waiting for 8-9 years for Bilawal is along time, when Bilawal will finish his education and get training to enter politics, not to mention that the sword of the real Bhuttos hangs on his head. A day is about to come when Aasif Zardari has to leave the fake combine slogan of Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, when the real Bhuttos move for the Kill.A piece of our Humble advice for Namaz Sharif Learn a lesson from Saddam Hussain’s breaking neck!……………
To anum1 (August 20, 2008 at 10:53 am) and Salman Mansoor (August 20, 2008 at 11:24 am)
I wish I could comment/rectify the facts about KSE, visionary leadership, freedom of information media, mega projects bla bla bla in last nine years, however I feel we should respect to the sentiments of Ms. Marvi Memon (August 21, 2008 at 2:31 am). She is “absolutely” right when she mentioned
“If you say you care about the country pls help me get solutions to the real issues implemented by this govt; by writing solutions and ideas.”
To Ms. Marvi Memon
We have following pending questions; pls get some time to address these. Give your personal opinion, even though very briefly. I fully concur, these questions have nothing to do towards the betterment of existing situation but I am sure it would bridge the gap and prove as a deposit of trust between you and your readers, ultimately a way forward to a cordial and healthy discussion about the real issues.
1. By Dr. Rizwan (July 31, 2008 at 12:57 pm) about an injured/ paralyzed 3rd year MBBS student of Ayub Medical College, Abbottabad, who was compelled to abandon her studies by the administration of the college due to tragic mishap.
2. By Nasir (August 11, 2008 at 8:31 am ) “Would you please tell us what is the actual price of oil without adding any tax”.
3. By tehmoor (August 13, 2008 at 4:26 pm ) “What is your stand on missing person. Do you think Musharraf who handed over these people whether they were criminal or terrorists from pakistan to USA was legitimate”.
4. By tehmoor (August 13, 2008 at 4:26 pm ) “what are the rights of Woman you are fighting for.”
5. By abdul qayoom (August 20, 2008 at 8:18 am) “why the members of ur party r dispursed?”
6. saeed kayani (August 20, 2008 at 2:47 pm) Why not Mr. Musharraf to put forward for the trial for his actions like red mosque, trading of human beings, violent exercise of force in northern areas, house arrest of judges and what about Akbar Bugti (late)? If indemnity to Mr. Musharraf then why not to all the criminal facing trials at the moment?
7. NSS-Yesterday I had a look of 31 members announced by Dr. Mirza for Kashmir committee. It was bizarre not to see you in the list while Mr. Nakai and Begum Atiya etc were there from PML. I am sure Kashmir issue is one of your strengths and for such a sensitive issue, we needed a young, motivated and determined person like yourself. Were the members picked by Mrs. Speaker or forwarded by your leadership?
I hope Asif Zardari is reading all this and has something to say. If not please publish his email so we can all write to him.
Sad I am. Sad sad sad. But why do not the people in the PPP believe in these fact so clearly put up by you. So much money. so much money in the hands of only one person. he should be able to buy the ammendments in the constitution. He should be able to buy the presidency. He should be able to buy the restoration of the judges. He can make Basha Dam on his own with a little help from the Sharif brothers.
Why does he want more money. The following are someof the rumours circulating.
1. A jeweller called Kasuria in Karachi has been threatened by Zardari to extort 50 million dollars.
2.Mr. Mansha of the MCB was phoned while he was flying on his private plane to write off 28 crore loan of a friend.
3.The new Islamabad Airport construction contract has been given to a friendly company in a backdated agreement to steal money
4. Redundant and useless submarines are being purchased in collaboration with the Naval chief.
5. Useless and discredited people are being posted as ambassadors and to important positions in PIA.
I use earplugs if i have to go to a dinner or a marriage funtion because society is getting into a frenzy about Asif Zardari,s corruption.
Dear, I acknowledge and appreciate your sincere endeavour to enlighten us with, most likely, the facts about Mr. Zardari and rest of the political giants. Having said that, in connection with your previous response, I have my reservations when you expressed about trickily justified and deceitful claims of prosperity during previous regime. It’s indeed an awesome hobby to surfing internet and to find the rumours/facts are on finger tips of everyone who knows how to play. We educated blokes-because of you guys, privilege is mine - should use this forum with positive spirit and let the burning controversial realities for the blog (s) you referred. I already have requested
“leave the cynical attitude and point scoring tactics for “Gladiators” of the political spheres”
and I am sure Ms. Marvi Memon would have something to comment in the light of her comments (August 5, 2008 at 11:37 am)
“Party Leadership must be respected ……. Leadership bashing in the emails I have received by some of you is not productive activity. I believe there is good in most individuals and one must learn from leadership the good. One must zoom into good and ignore the rest, in general in life. That gets you positive approach”
So we are there with all our skills and abilities for our nation, are we???
Take care and keep praying
ALLAH HAFIZ
P.S: By no means, it explains my affiliation with PPPP. I am certain of highlighting much more about Mr. Zardari and any other politician than you mentioned, and believe me I am copiously vocal at this on a right forum.
I think you are good, rather master at English, and might have impressed Marvi Memon by using good enough adjectives, mostly sounding negative, and jargons. I think you have left no person good for this country.
Why this forum is being misused by posting long,irrelevant and good-for-nothing stuff on this blog. I think we must suggest somthing positive and constructive to Marvi that can help her drive this poor nation out of this chaotic situation.
I am saying this as an impartial and unbiased Pakistani. Hope that it may be considered in the better interest of the nation.
Thanks Mr.Salmam Mansoor for putting all answerable questions together to ease MS Marvi to answer one by one.
Mr. Raja Ashraf (minister for water & power) said the load shading will be reduced to 3 hrs from 30th august 2008.would you please ask the honorable minister to explain how it will happen. And if it was a political promise, then my advice to all such ministers is “please keep your big mouth shut”
Ilama Iqbal says” HUM KO TU MUYASSAR NAHEEN MATEE KA DIYA BHEE, GHAR PEER KA BIJLI K CHRAGHOON SAY HAY ROSHAN.
Prime minister’s house in Multan is exempt from load shading.
Please tell the people of Pakistan how much this parliament costs to the nation with out any out put.
Dear country men
This is very critical and crucial time for our country. So I request to all Pakistani to pray. May Allah the almighty save our country from evil designs of our politicians? Zardari should not be the president of Pakistan.
Ohhh My GOD!!!
i will say only one thing and request too all peoples plz do pray for our country Because…
Dua Samjhloo! ya Samajhloo Isko Gali Chaman ka DHUSMAN bana hay MALI,,,,, Now in this stitutation we are looking the role of Opposition what they will do does they will support to Mr.10% or does they will do something else to get out all of us from this worse condition may Allah safe our country Ameen
……and i thought heres a people’s blog where one can insinuate according to one’s expertise about things to be done. There are many blogs and really interactive ones where one can post “political stuff” and get the feedback. I dont think marvi’s e-mails are meant for that.
Anyhow i totally agree to Mr Manssor since there are other rumors too but the point is who cares!! When not even a single soul is honest and true to their purpose and count their efforts to rise in life more than Allah’s blessing upon them this is what happens, they think that they are demigods born to rule and thast shirk, unpardonable sin! I hope better sense prevails in all factions of PML and soon-to-happen all factions of PPP.
Madam,
U very ritely said that one can not changed his views abt Musharraf , those who support will continue so n vise versa.
I give credit to u for providing a plateform to give feedback to an MNA.Maybe some of them implemented .
so two penny from my side (maybe these are already known to u)
Problem : Real estate Price increase
Cause : Investment is done solely to wait for increase in price and hence get return
Impact : Prices are getting up and up while common man can not buy a piece of land to make home.
Solution :
Put multiple tax on residential land so that one shud buy only when one wants to utilize it.
Put additional factor when one piece of land is sold with in 6 months so to discourage resale of land files
Result :
Money which is invested on real estate will move to other productive areas like industry or stock market.
Increase in revenue
Can anyone let me know who is this is NSS???? I remembered i heard in a TV show Mr. Zardari friend were there and he said “Zardari Sahib should keep in his MIND now there is no Baynazir who will bring him out from prisons” so what does it means. As far as i understand the meaning of this do crystal clear politics and think about long term not only short term to make a money and run…. Just think

SAKHAKOT MALAKAND AGENCY.
On 14Th August 2008, my friend called me on my cell and asked me to come to Pearl Continental Peshawar and I was literally completely shattered with the events that took place there.
As any other Pakistani, on 14th august at such places one can only expect celebration, patriotic numbers, jubilance and of course Pakistani Flags every where But No Sir, the “COMIC GROUP” by the name of “JANG GROUP” was holding a seminar and ladies and gentleman look what was the topic for that seminar QUAID AUR IQBAL KA KHWAB; SADAR KA MOWAKHIZA??????????????????????????????
And now the list of speakers, whom were there as the “Intellects” of N.W.F.P, none out of those 10 were wearing Pakistani flags on their chest and only two bothered to say Jashn-e-Azadi Mubarik at the end of their speeches, where in their speeches all of them did the “in thing” these days which is called Musharraf Bashing and they started crossing limit when they started talking against ISI and MI as if they are talking about KHAD and RAW. And at that point when Haji Adeel and Latif Afridi started mudslinging Quaid-e-Azam and Allama Mohd. Iqbal, my friend and me, we both lost our patience but both decided to blast later.
Anyways me and my friend stored a lot of ammo for the question answer session but we were shocked to see that there was none !!!!!!
Well as we couldn’t do anything about it, so to condole ourselves in unison we said Maybe Next Time.
My friend had few Pakistani badges with him and he said lets just give them, these to wear, as they may not have enough time to buy one, so when we went to the SAHAFI sahib editor of JANG Peshawar and gave him the badge, he couldn’t utter a single word out of sheer embarrassment had a slight smile on his face and took it shamelessly then we went to some other panelists and somewhat their reactions were the same, but what happened with one of the gentleman there, I shall never forget that for the rest of my life, he was non other than President Peshawar Bar Latif Afridi, the champion of the RAW, PML-N and ASMA JEHANGIR architected war of “TILTED JUDICARY”,,,,,,, HE CATEGORICALLY REFUSED TO WEAR THE PAKISTANI FLAG AND SAID “MAIN ISS PAR SOCHONGA”?????
And those who don’t know he is a party member of Awami National Party (ANP), any ways later in the day I was wondering that what the hell is this, the Chief Minister of this province is from this damn party who badmouths our premiere intelligence agencies and disrespects the Founding Father and the National Poet, also disregards the National Flag??? In whose hand we are?????
From that day onwards I realized that there is just only one problem of Pakistan and that is we have mostly been into the wrong hands, we’ve mostly being ruled by Thugs, choors, Looters and such filthy unpatriotic rascals, who don’t know that what is the place of Quaid-e-Azam and Allama Iqbal.
Only two leaders are only there to name who really did wanted to do something for this Half Uneducated and Half Educatedly Uneducated population, which Habib Jalib has termed as “10crore gadhay” (now they are 16crore), who are basically “Jehal Ka Nichor”……
Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was a peoples champ but at the end it was this moment which swallowed him, he also ordered a Military Operation in Baluchistan and after the formation of the constitution it was he who did the first few amendments in it.
And at the end of his rule he was termed as Sharabi, Kababi and so on……
And the same was with Former President Musharraf, he took the Pakistan into the Next 11, turned around the shattered Pakistani Economy, healed the tarnished Pakistani image in the Inter National Arena and exposed this undeserving nation to the true essence of democracy by letting the satellite invasion hit this part of the world and issued licenses to News channels without signing any code of conduct or regulatory policy, which never happens anywhere in the world.
But look now how we paid back………
And look a Parliamentarian; in fact a “WOMAN” Parliamentarian has taken an unprecedented initiative by starting a direct people to people contact…. I mean tell me does she really need to do this, shouldn’t she just like other parliamentarians, come to the session of National Assembly just come and go in her Prado back to her house.
But instead doing this she has come to the stupid people, the local public which they call “AWAM”, thinking that they shall tell her about their issues that matters to them and give their insight into things that really matters to the common man on the street but I wonder why she doesn’t realize that these people are so sick that they are suffering from Musharraf Phobia and they are so much engulfed in hatred against Former President thanks to the 18months long therapy provided to them either OFF THE RECORD, or doing CAPITAL TALK, seeing LIVE WITH TALAT and feeling as if they are BOLTA PAKISTAN.
For God’s sake come over this now, grow up kiddos.
I literally salute to Ms Marvi for her approach towards highlighting the real issues of the common man and doing what ever she can do for it. And even going to the limit of putting her cell number on the internet to give direct access to people who are actually in need of some help, also introducing this new way of interacting with the public and concentrating on the real issues that really matters to the common man and her sincerity, resolve, desire and commitment clearly reflects itself through this exceptional move by introducing her own website where we can actually write to her.
Why do we (Pakistani) need a a president in a parliamentarian democratic system. Look at UK.
All powers must be with a prime minister. He can not do anything with approval from National assembly and Senate. All the ruling must have to be approved from National Assembly and senate with 2/3. An independent Judiciary is necessary to monitor the abuse of power. A member of senate must be elected by the people of Pakistan like a member of national assembly.
Kindly tell me the percentage (%) of Poor, Middle Class and Rich in Pakistan.
Poor(%) Middle Class (%) Rich(%)
======= ================ =======
If we have the same percentage in the National Assembly and senate, this mean we have democracy.
I want to ask question to all Pakistanis, What is the achievement of Z.A. Bhutto, Benazir Bhutto, Nawaz Sharif, Asif Zardari, Fazal-ur-Rehman, ANP leader, Iltaf Hussein.
What has been done (good) for Pakistan by these individuals.
I request a court marshal for Ayub Khan, Zia Ul Haq, Musharf and all generals who were helping them including Hamid Gul.
Why all the politician have been successful and the nation of Pakistan is the looser?
What Zardari was doing (Job) to make Million/Billions of dollars. Nation want to know.
Same is the question for Z.A. Bhutto, Benazir Bhutto, Nawaz Sharif, Asif Zardari, Fazal-ur-Rehman, ANP leader,.All the Pakistanis must have exclusive right to ask these question.
Peoples are sick and tried of politicians they are fighting for their own agendas. No body is serious about public’s problem, they have created phony (false) issues to divert the attention of the public from their (public’s) real and urgent issues, which can’t wait.
Salman says….Peoples are sick and tried of politicians they are fighting for their own agendas. No body is serious about public’s problem, they have created phony (false) issues to divert the attention of the public from their (public’s) real and urgent issues, which can’t wait….
Please watch Dawn TV tonight 29 August(10pm on Farhan Bokhari’s show to hear me say something similar…I have tried to identify the real issues of the common man and of the disasters we are going through as a country, the downward trends!!! Also the seminar of Pak Liberal Forum where I was guest speaker last week.
As a new politician I am not happy with the time wasted on politiking. the amount of pulls and pushes I have seen in the last few weeks! I am trying to keep focussed on real issues of common man and what is best for Pakistan’s national interest, meaning whatever coalitions happen in the future must be in Pak’s best interest so that governance takes place.
I wish the ballot for presidential elections was not secret so that no amount of horsetrading would destabilize systems. So that ALL party members would be disciplined and unified. I often feel that other than one odd party all other parties are full of individuals who have their own individual interests which they put over and above party interests.
Anyway, the silent majority must help us express the belief that Pakistanis want governance and stability of system. Not politiking!
I am seeing all ths politiking through a close lens. I hope that when we are in the driving seat we have a different political culture so that we concentrate on the real issues. For now, I am part of this system and if I wish to improve it, I must understand how best to change it from within. Trust me its much easier to criticize from outside; changing it takes lifetimes of persistence in progressive liberal beliefs. The struggle seems to have just started…
I want to divert the attention towards power crisis. You know the situation of power in all the cities of country. It remains off almost 18 hours out of 24. A common man wants to know who is opposing the Kalabagh Dam? These are just politicians who do their politics in the name of Kalabagh Dam. You know and you can see the data. All the first world countries are making most of their enery with their coal reservoirs. Pakistan is the fifth largest country in terms of coal reservoirs then why dont we go for energy to be produced with coal? Why dont we invest in that?
Marvi, I really like you and really appreciate your comments on the Media. But sometimes you go so much out of the way for the poor that people start getting you wrong.
Simply because the trend is not to speak for the poor.
The one who is working for the poor seems bad to everyone and we can see the amount of negative and JAHIL propoganda done against you in the AAJ TV programme Bolta Pakistan.
When we try to call and defend your position and ppl like you they don’t let us speak and cut our lines.
I hope you carry on the good work and your motivation always remain at the fullest.
My comments It appears that we are being ruled by those, who do not feel or take any responsibility for their actions and do not bother what results will be achieved by their actions. Everything is being done halfheartedly, in a disconnected manner and then just forget about it, what they said or promised yesterday. There is no will, no road map, no plan, no achievable goals in front of our rulers. I wish and hope the rulers
have sympathy on Pakistanis. If they are inefficient to handle the issues, let them vacate and allow new people to take responsibility.
One dirty bath room in a military hospital, brought down dozens of generals, civilian leadership of Army, Army Secretary included, either dismissed or voluntarily resigned. But what happened when poor people paid crores for folly of mistakes in budget regarding error in printing wrong rate of CNG. Had anybody been punished or voluntarily resigned? Any Minister resigned? shame, shame. shame.
I am seriously starting doubting AH’s intentions too. If by sitting in the PPP meetings, he can see all this happening and then digesting FN’s regular gibberish, he wants to benefit from “chit bhee meri aur pat bhee meri” kind of situation. Either case, he can claim that I was with the winners.
How much Mushtaq Minhas is paid by NS for protecting him unjustifiably?
@ Marvi u may very well be the last hope for the demoracy movement in that country for quite some time. i wish you well.
Since you and your father have been politically engaged with issues of Northern Areas, I thought you should know how your actions are percevied and received there.
Following article was published in Pamir Times a widely read online newsblog from Northern Areas.
Op-Ed: Marvi Memon on pushing a bill for Northern Areas
August 26, 2008
by Ali Al – Hakim
What was common between former President Gen. Pervez Musharraf, Aaj TV anchor Syed Talat Hussein, and MNA Marvi Memon is their sporadic and marginal interest in taking a relatively favourable stand on the issue of constitutional rights for the people of GB. In a recent TV debate Talat Hussein tried to introduce the infant and fledgling struggle for rights and justice in NA’s, by inviting few of the so called elected members of the toothless NALA. In a similar vein Gen. Musharraf who ultimately became unpopular across the country had however a soft corner for the people of Giligit-Baltistan. Karakorum University, expansion of KKH, and upgrading NALA to a relatively respectable position will certainly form part of Musharraf’s legacy in Northern Areas. I think Marvi Memon could well be one of those people who have taken upon themselves to touch the lives of our people one way or the other. She has introduced this new bill in the National Assembly apparently to kick off a debate that would perhaps pave the way towards granting a provincial status to Giligit-Baltistan. I think this must be welcomed on several grounds.
While it has been pointed out that Marvi Memon failed to take such a step when her own government (PML-Q) was in power, and the latest attempt is nothing but a parochial political game to drag the incumbent government into a tasteless battle. However, I believe that this should be of marginal interest, or of no concern to us. The proposal should be welcomed because such steps not only seek to put the concerns of GB on the national agenda but they also expose both our well-wishers and ill-wishers alike, sitting in the corridors of power in Islamabad.
Let’s remember that when Congress was founded in 1886 by a Brit, it was intended to channel political views of Her Majesty’s Indian subjects through a proper platform. Viceroys and British establishment saw this move as an apparently harmless attempt to give Indian people some sense of political participation in the affairs of the state. A. O. Hume and his compatriots might never have imagined even in their wildest dreams that Indian National Congress would subsequently emerge as a formidable political force that would unleash a great wave of resistance to British Empire, ultimately dislodging the Raj from Indian sub-continent. Like A.O. Hume, Marvi Memon and others may have ulterior motives, business, or commercial or whatever we should however consider her desire to be part of our struggle. Such bills would surely serve as wake-up calls to members of Pakistan’s slumbering political class. After all we count and remember Major Brown a Scotsman as one of our heroes who helped us free ourselves from the Dogra Raj in 1949. History, including our own in GB is full of mysterious stories in which various forces have ‘conspired to help’ us what we have wanted and willed. Now, if we want our rights, identity and political struggle to be re-asserted then we should seize every opportunity to take forces of politics on our side.
The National Assembly bill tabled by Marvi should have elicited a healthy debate that could have helped sharpen the edges of political impasse on the question of Giligit-Baltistan. Very sadly members of the Pakistani ruling class choose to truncate this important concern of ours by not taking it seriously. Let us also remember the loathsome world ’sensitive’ that has been uttered countless times by the members of the Pakistani establishment when it comes to answer a question regarding the problems of Gilgit-Baltistan. In response to Marvi’s proposal our so called Federal Minister for Northern Areas and Kashmir Affairs used the word ’sensitive’ to project our issues as if we are some sort of a sacrificial animal who must be locked up until the time for the ritual is up. I sadly note that the deceptive word ’sensitive’ is nothing but a big smokescreen that helps veil unwillingness of Pakistani establishment to seriously address issues of GB. When Kaira visits Giligit next time our people should make him realise that time of playing hide and seek game with the people of Giligt-Baltistan is over now.
Now is the time to snatch ’sensitive’ from the vocabulary of our alien rulers sitting in Islamabad who have frustrated the political journey of the people of GB to achieve our long-due and deserved destiny of equality, liberty and brotherhood. We have nothing to lose but our subjugation and we have our deserved freedoms to be won.

Al-Hakim is a good friend of mine with keen interest in the politics of Gilgit-Baltistan and with trainings from one of the best universities in the world in the area of Globalization and civil society. He has very effectively encompassed the issue of abusing the basic political and human rights of the people of Gilgit-Baltistan.
Let us appreciate the case forwarded by Marvi Memon in the fragile National Assembly of Pakistan, which in its history used power to decided most of bad than good. However, at the same time we need to be cautious of not losing driving seat of the struggle for the liberation of Gilgit-Baltistan and let again people from Pakistan to take it, who have their own selfish personal interests than the welfare and development of people of GB.
I do agree very strongly with the idea of conveying the frustrated feelings of political and economic alienation of the people of Gilgit-Baltistan to the illegitimate leaders from Pakistan. These include the infamous Minister for Northern area and Kashmir affairs or whoever comes to our region with intention to rule, should know in sure way that they are not going to keep this area as a sacrificial animal, for the cause of Kashmir.
Apart from wakening and dazzling Pakistani establishment regarding the political awareness of brave people of GB we need to knock and make aware of the violations of international human rights and abuses of the people of the Gilgit-Baltistan by Pakistani establishment.
Let’s remember this is not an easy way to venture upon it, I am quite sure of the successful achievements of this struggle, as people of the Gilgit Baltistan are not cowards and lazy. They are brave and some of the most energetic people in the world to take up toughest adventures both intellectually and physically. Thus let,s inflame the light of real freedom and extinguish the darkness of occupation and colonization of Gilgit-Baltistan.

I do fully agree with Ali Al-Hakim and true comments of Abbass Ali and would appreciate their intellectual contribution in favor of the constitutional status of the innocent people of Gilgit-Baltistan. However, the intellectuals like you people need to take a lead role to motivate and realize the mass people of GB in general and the youths in particular about availing or snatching their basic rights.
The efforts of Marvi Memon is although appreciating but it is considered by many critiques ‘too little and too late’. However, the present government is expected to follow the foot-steps of its founder leader, late Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto to bring revolutionary constitutional reforms and add the deprived people of Gilgit-Baltistan into the main stream. Otherwise sitting in opposition and submitting bills in the parliament or signing resolution in charter of democracy could be considered as drama with the people of GB. But, now the wisdom and information of the area is not less to come in the traps of the selfish rulers and establishment.
The area has no more attachment or conditionality with the Kashmir cause in both parts of Kashmir there is a constitutional set-up, while Gilgit Baltistan is tied with the KANA division and even a clerical staff is too smart to grab the rights of the innocent people.
Now we need to take right steps to the right directions in the right time and need to make advocacy for the constitutional rights at every forums such as locally, regionally and globally by approaching various human rights institutions and other civil society institutions. I do hope youth and literate responsible masses will disseminate the message of raising voices for the basic rights of the people of Gilgit-Baltistan.

As someone who is so vocal i would also like to keep you updated on how majority of Pkaistnis are not happy with the part the media played in bias news against Musharraf.
I have had very bitter emails with Hamid Mir i would like to list one so you can decide ho right i am:
Everyone supporting MUSHARRAF is a soldier and true LOYAL PAKISTANI.HATTS OFF TO YOU ALL IN FUTURE WE WILL FORM A PARTY AND GET RID OF ALL THE CORRUPT LEADERS LIKE ZARADARI AND NAWAZ AND THROW OUT THE BIASED AND MUFAAAD PURUST JOURNALISTS LIKE HAMID MIR AND SHAHID MASOO.
HYPOCRITES who urged MUSHARRAF to take action agianst LAL MASJID,WAZIRISTAN AND DO NRO than CRITICISED HIM FOR DOING SO.
JOURNALISTS WHO HAVE ENJOYED THE MONEY AND THE BENEFITS OF A FREE MEDIA FROM 2000 ONWARDS DUE TO THE EFFORTS OF MUSHARRAF AND THAN HAVE GONE AGIANST THE SAME PRESIDENT MUSHARRAF.
Where was the media in 2000?
Hamid Mir who says that he will expose MUSHARRAF why did he not EXPOSE the corruption of NAWAZ why did he not EXPPOSE NAWAZ SHARIFS DEMOCRATIC WAYS?
Would Hamid Mir like to tell us which is BETTER?
A MEDIA UNDER MUSHARRAF where from 2000 over 70 new CHANNELS HAVE OPENED,ARE THESE CHANNELS RUN BY ONE MAN,NO,OFCOURSE NOT?
THEY ARE RUN BY THOUSANDS OF STAFF WHICH MEANS THAT AFTER MUSHARRAFS POLICY OF FREE MEDIA AND ISSUEING VARIOUS LICENSES MEDIA HAS EXPANDED IN THE SPACE OF LAST 8 YEARS FROM ONE CHANNEL IN 1999 TO OVER 70 CHANNELS IN 2008 IN WHICH THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE GOT JOBS and another THOUSAND LIKE HAMID MIRE HAVE GOT PAY RISES AND TALK SHOWS LIKE CAPITAL TALK….
Hamid Mir said that ALLAH gave him his job 21 years ago?His right…But 21 years ago their was no GEO,GEO Started after MUSHARRAf,now their are 4 or 5 channels of GEO they could’n't have started their transmission without the go ahead from Musharraf to go on air in Pakistan
Its after GEO that Hamid Mir got a pay rise its after GEO that alot of behind the camera staff got their jobs.
Hmaid Mir claims GEO started from DUBAI.Let me remind him on ONE phone call from MUSHARRAF the DUBAI Authorities shut GEO down and closed the programmes of HAMID MIR and the LOW LIFE SHAHID MASOOD.Which means that originally in 2000 or whenver GEO opened if at that time the governemnt the MUSHARRAF government if it did not have the FREE MEDIA POLICY THEY WOULD NOT HAVE ALLOWED ANY CHANNEL TO OPEN INCLUDING GEO.
SO Hamid Mir and other journalists STOP DREAMING AND FOOLING YOURSELD FREE MEDIA IS BECAUSE OF MUSHARRAF YOU PAY RISE AND THOUSANDS OF BEHIND THE SCREEN JOBS ARE BECASUE OF MUSHARRAF.
Hamid where was the media better in the democratic goverments?
HAMID MIR IN NAWAZ SHARIFS GOVERNMENT WAS CALLED TO NAWAZ SHARIFS HOUSE,WAS TOLD TO RESIGN BY NAWAZ SHARIF BECAUSE HAMID MIR HAD JUST WRITTEN A COLUMN AGAINST HIM,JUST A COLUMN.
The second day when HAMID MIR refused NAWZ SHARIF SHUT THE WHOLE NEWSPAPER DOWN.IS THAT THE DEMOCRACY HAMID MIR WANTS.
WHEREAS UNDER MUSHARRAF LOOK HOW MUCH THEY CRITICISED HIM AND MADE FUM OF HIM IN PROGRAMMES LIKE “HUM SUB UMEED SAY HAIN”
THE HYPOCRACY OF THE JOURNALISTS AND EVERYONE WHO BENEFITED HEAVILY UNDER THE FREE MEDIA POLICY OF MUSHARRAF CLEARLY SHOWS.
Its our duty to expose the journalist and ZARDARI AND NAWAZ as much as we can because poeple like Hamid Mir are sell outs in search of even a bigger pay rise.
AND REMEMBER THE FAILED DOCTOR SHAHID MASOOD WHO EMPTIED THE POCKETS OF ARYONE AND THAN GEO AND CRITICISED MUSHARRAF WHILST HE WAS BENEFITING UNDER MUSHARRAFS FREE MEDIA POLICY.NOW IT WAS THE TIME TO EXPOSE ZARDARI AND NAWAZ BUT INSTEAD HE BETRAYED GEO AND HAS ACCEPTED THE HUDI(DOG BEING OFFERED HIS BONE) FROM ZARDARI AND GONE TO PTV.
HYPOCRACY AT ITS HIGHEST.
WELL DONE TO EVERYONE AND ALL PAKISTANIS LOYAL TO PAKSITAN AND MUSHARRAF SALUTE EVERYONE FOR EXPOSING HAMID MIR PLEASE CARRYON DOING SO AND OTHERS WHO WERE AGINST THE MUSHARRAF ERA,THE TRICKLE DOWN EFFECT OF MUSHARRAFS ECONOMY POLICIES HAVE BENEFITED THE JOURNALISTS THE MOST AND THEY ARE THE ONES WHO COME UNDER THE SAYING “MERA KUTTA MUJHAY HI KATTAY”…WELL SOMETHING LIKE THAT….
As the media played a vital role in damaging Pervaiz Musharraf i would liek to show the original email i sent Hamid Mir and his reply.For which he is getting evry strong reactions.

Subject: MUSHARRAF THE BEST
Hi,
Not sure if you will read this email or not but hope you do.
I hope all the media and specially you and people at Geo who were so biased against President Musharraf realise that it was a mistake to do so.
President Musharraf is the one who gave you your jobs.Under his government you channel was given the license to operate and since 1999 over 70 channels are operating in Pakistan and all the credit goes to Musharraf not Mr 10% or Mr Nawaz.
The purpose of writing this email is the frustration by a Pakistani and Musharraf supporter that you have not paid back President Musharraf in a good way.Paksitanis have become an AHSAAN FURAMOSH SOCIETY specially the journalists.
How can you invite Corrupt leaders or interview people like Zardari who you know more than me that they are corrupt and under their rule you were not even allowed to critisize them in an editorial in a newspaper let alone the way you joke about Mr Musharraf on tv.
I think yuou as journalists have failed to make the public aware of the leaders which they should’ve supported.All you have done is corrupt the minds of already corrupted and iliiterate people.
Pakistan as a whole will have to bare the cost of your media bias against the best leader Pakistan has had.
I got job 21 years ago.Allah gave me job not Musharraf.
Musharraf nenver gave us license we were operating from Dubai.
Musharraf treated us like animals.He attacked us inside our offices,he used police against us on the roads,he tried to bribe us.He is not exposed yet but we will expose him soon.
Aslam-e-Alekum,
Sister, Marvi Memon
im Aftab Ali Laghari Doing MBA from University of Sindh, Jamshoro.
I watched Your Interview and Many speeches and now i realize that someone has awaken from our public to speak for us.
Sister, When PPP came in the government
then they are only raising or increasing the prices of commodities & why they are not reducing the price of oil, even the price of oil decreased in international market.
so im saying to u why u arn’t raising these issues in assembly.
I would just like to say that you are doing a wonderful job, keep it up.
Another issue that I would like you to focus attention on is the complete ignorance by the mainstream media of the millions of Pakistanis who recognize and appreciate what President Musharraf has done for the country. We want to express ourselves, but are not allowed to on the ‘Ruling’ channels. As far as Samaa TV is concerned, I would like to see it being broadcast on SUN TV as well as to have a wider viewership…regards

“Best For Pakistan’s National Interest” hmm… Since 14th August 1947, this phrase has proved to be the worst available in the dictionary for the “best interest” of a “common Pakistani”. If I shuffle in history, before I could compile something I would commence crying bitterly.
Four military administrators also claimed to be there “Best For Pakistan’s National Interest”, retreat from our foreign policies specially from Kashmir and defence strategy is “Best For Pakistan’s National Interest”, coalitions/segregation of different ideologies is “Best For Pakistan’s National Interest”, warming the battle fields of northern areas is “Best For Pakistan’s National Interest”, selective re-appointment sacked judges is “Best For Pakistan’s National Interest”, bla bla bla I donot have any more courage to write, I only can beg authoritative “Caesars” and “Aristotles” of this golden age of Pakistan, please donot act under the veil of “Best For Pakistan’s National Interest” please. Days are not far away my friends when we would hear
“I, Mr. President, solemnly declare that my breath is “Best For Pakistan’s National Interest” what a pity…
I sometimes wonder, how come something could be/is “Best For Pakistan’s National Interest”, if the outcomes are dauntingly disastrous for the Pakistani nationals? Oh yes… it’s what they call “Farsightedness” which a common man is deprived of, they are right. I simply wish they could have such an intelligentsia who could define the word “Farsightedness” for them.
I used to be a part of “Tug of War” as an “Old Ravian” during the annual sports day of Government College Lahore. What Ms. Memon said (August 29, 2008 at 10:32 am) “I am trying to keep focussed on real issues of common man and what is “best for Pakistan’s national interest”, meaning whatever coalitions happen in the future must be in “Pak’s best interest” so that governance takes place…..The “struggle seems to have just started”…”,
another “Tug of War” for the greater interests of “Pakistan’s National Interest”, let’s see how far away we go from our destination this time as a result of this “Tug of War”, as in the past, such “tug of Wars” rarely helped us to move forward.
Take care and keep praying
ALLAHH AFIZ
P.S: Sorry, I could not keep the pace of the forum, as was mentally shattered due to some family health issues-still going on-make dua for me and my family.
With all my words, I am still optimistic and waiting/(struggling in my capacity) for a brighter sunrise which could take us out through these dark shades of our national life.
Ms. Memon, I fully understand the politicking questions and reckon you should atleast enlighten us about (if you have done something, it’s much appreciated and if you cannot do anything then Mr. Ex-President said “Pakistan Ka KHUDA HAFIZ”)
By Dr. Rizwan (July 31, 2008 at 12:57 pm) about an injured/ paralyzed 3rd year MBBS student of Ayub Medical College, Abbottabad, who was compelled to abandon her studies by the college administration due to her tragic mishap.

@ Thankx For Marvi give us Platform for Express our Feelings”
Mr zardari never drop the power of 17 amendment.he will be the more power ful president which is not good for pakistan.The person who accept 11 years in preson but he never give back 10% looting money.
when he was no power he get 10% and make million of dollers.Think about when he will be powerful president he must make 90% .I Love Musheruf his last word of his speech “pakistan ka khuda hafiz” was very meaning full and he is also responsibale in this :gunah kabeerah”
If Zardari being the second richest of Pakistan is still not satisfied with his wealth, I doubt he will refrain from his old habits. Pakistanis may try him once again and he will prove it. He will make sure to screw the country and as a last resort army will have to take over.
Goodness me, anybody,but Zardari for president.I know NRO was probably issued by Sir Musharraf to keep the army and ISI going strong and keep these Mullahs at bay…because if these secular political like ppp,mqm get weak then Mullahs will start dominating the political scene here and that will be a nightmare for the army and ISI.But even Musharraf did’nt know at that time that this could allow MR 10% to be our new president casuse Benazir got assasinated..not that she was an angel either.
One of the saddest day in Pakistan’s histroy was when Sir Musharraf a man of so much integrity and vision resigned …6th septemeber,2008 is going to be even worse because one of the most corrupt and indignified Pakistanis is going to become our president.As Sir Musharraf said ‘iss kaum ka ubb allah he hafiz hay’
I am fully agreed with Mr. Sajjad’s comments about Hamid Mir. I know that Hamid Mir and other journalists (Black-mailers) like him are getting funds from Isreal and India to write against honest people of Paistan. They were against Honourable President Musharraf because they want to destroy Pakistan and they have got money to do this job. One day everyone will see the unjaam of these ugly journalists.
I can’t believe the media of Pakistan.They are still out to get Sir Musharraf.Hamid Mir was at it again in his show last night,he was saying’Musharraf is more popular in India than Pakistan because he hurt the kashmir issue’ lol.This is a guy who fought 3 wars for his country and you are questioning his patriotism and honor.
And somebody tell me why Sir Musharraf needs to be prosecuted for the killing of the biggest criminal ever to come out of Balochistan ‘Nawab Akbar Bugti’..does’nt anybody in this country know how horrible a man Akbar Bugti was.These feudal politicians who are showing up on t.v have nothing, but praises for a man whos admited to have murdered more than a 100 people and was a big impediment in the development of Balochistan.These feudals and war lords like Bugti,Mengal do not want to see their people become educated and prosperous thats why they have been challenging the writ of the government.
AoA
Quite recently, Mrs. Mirza announced to visit relief camps organised for victims of tribal areas, along with a team of parliamentarians. She also mentioned about raising funds for them by the contribution of members. Has she managed to gather a team and collection from the members? My apologies, if she already have done so.
Secondly what’s going on in the parliament regarding barbarian killing of women and their burial while they were alive. Another resolution, another committee, another face-saving report, another temporary suspension of SHOs and constables and then “Game Over”, please put serious efforts to expose the concealed realities of wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Take care and keep praying
ALLAH HAFIZ
P.S: Titles make a difference but the day, knighthood was awarded to Salman Rushdie, “Sir” seems worthless. I am not biased on the basis of Satanic Verses, fact is that he does not occupy such a distinguished height in literature.
Is it a hysterical statement or a bitter reality??? This is by which different schools of thoughts have their marks…
“This country has never seen honest rulers simply because it was not created by honest people, it has always been a creation of the corrupt, to consolidate power and wealth, and nothing of honesty can penetrate the higher echelons of power in this country.”
We all have dreams. In my dreams I am intelligent, dashing, handsome, filthy rich and powerful. I am also wise and highly intellectual, with such great opinions that heads of state call me – or at least listen to what I have to say on matters of great importance. Then, usually, I wake up to reality.
Obviously I am not the only one who has wild dreams. After all, if it were not for dreams, why would people try to run for the office of president of our nation? In many cases they even do this with scant regard for reality. It is also always important to remember the difference between dreams, big dreams and delusions.
I am writing these lines in Karachi. I am here to be a guest on several GEO TV shows discussing the election for President of Pakistan. When I look at the candidates for president, I see a curious mixture of dreams, big dreams and delusions.
I say it as I see it, without regard for racial, ethnic, national, political or religious affiliation. That is also why I probably never will be offered a cabinet post by any head of state in Pakistan, elected or otherwise, or any other country.
Since none of the three Presidential candidates in Pakistan has contacted me for my advice, I have to assume it is because they believe I must be very busy. So, to be totally fair, I decided to write to each of them through an open letter in this publication. Like variables in an engineering or Math problem, let’s call them candidates Ex, Why, and z.
To President Ex – Justice (retired) Saeed-uz-Zaman Siddiqui
Sir, I have to give you credit for having a dream. Do I do not know you personally I salute you for being one of the few people in Pakistani elections that I have not heard anyone say totally negative things about. Sure, some may question your affiliation with the Nawaz Sharif party based on past events, but even your critics and non-supporters do not try to rip you to shreds. That, itself, is a major achievement.
You are a man of principle, said to have high integrity and the honor to stand up to a dictator. These are qualities that would get you elected and appointed in any other country.
Unfortunately, in Pakistan, these are the very qualities that would likely ensure you can not be elected president of our great nation. Sure, stranger things have happened. But, I thank you for dreaming and making a run for the presidency.
To President Why – Mr. Mushahid Hussain Syed
You, Sir, are obviously a man who has big dreams. I came to know off and respect you when I was a student political leader at the engineering University in Lahore. This was in the 1980s, when you were making a name for yourself as a journalist standing up to a dictator.
When I joined the ranks of the media industry, as business manager of Jang, and a writer in MAG Weekly, etc. I continued to respect you even though you were at a competing newspaper.
It is, therefore, a huge shock for me to learn that during the last 20 years you went from being an independent minded, outspoken, bold, Muslim media professional and a prisoner of conscience to someone who not only supported but became part of a dictator’s team.
It is easy for me to comment on your decisions to change sides in a political fray, but for you to change completely into the opposite of what you stood for is something I will never understand. In any case, I thank you for dreaming big, and making a run for the presidency. It will hopefully enable educated media professionals to be considered candidates for president in the future.
To President Z – Mr. Asif Ali Zardari
Sir, even though I have never personally met you, it has been my observation that it is nothing that you are understated about. We know that the other candidates have dreams and big dreams, possibly with some delusion thrown in for good measure.
In your case it is obvious that you had a dream, you have big dreams and, you may be suffering from a potent mixture of ambition, hubris and delusions of grandeur.
Apply that on top of a foundation built on a pliant political party machine devoted and dedicated more to a particular individual or a family than to their own roll in national politics, democracy or, heaven forbid, history. Result? You can almost be assured of the presidency. Congratulations.
The way I see it, only a miracle can prevent that.
Now, before you think I must be some anti-PPP, anti-Bhutto, anti-Zardari activist, let me assure you that is not the case. I have had the pleasure of meeting the late great Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in Karachi as a young teen, the late Benazir Bhutto, as a young media professional, and always been supportive of their role, as individuals, and as a family, in Pakistan’s democracy.
But, I am not a blind worshiper of the Bhutto name. Both those great individuals also failed to live up to the incredible potential, and historic opportunities, God gave them. They paid, in both cases, with their lives and the country paid either with failed experiments in democracy, martial laws or instability.
When I say that only a miracle can keep you from being President, I say that as a will-wisher of Pakistan and the Bhutto legacy – which I suppose is now more of a Zardari family name legacy. And, herein lies the problem.
Ego, ambition, hubris, cunning, ruthlessness, dreams, visions, delusions of grandeur, and perhaps even a dash of madness are not necessarily bad things – especially if they are attached to a person who dreams to change the world, to build empires for his nation, build historic monuments to man’s dreams and ability, to leave a legacy bigger than he himself ever was. Alexander the Great, even Napoleon, and many other “madmen” come to mind.
These same personality traits in more ordinary people, driven merely by desires to conquer real estate markets and build Swiss bank accounts, and to exploit opportunities for short-term gain, can only ensure disasters of history, and historic disasters.
My fear is that you have all the traits we talk about above but lack the vision to see this is a historic opportunity, not just another personal opportunity to “get more rich” and “take care of your friends”.
The sad thing is that even the staunchest Bhutto supporters, from politically connected families, to their servants and man-on-the-street type voters are all but certain that nothing good will come out of your becoming President, regardless of your beautifully worded article in the Washington Post.
You make a compelling argument for why your Presidency is essential. But, I wonder how you expect anyone, much less a jaded nation of 160 million people to believe a word you say, after your reneging even on your own signed agreements with Nawaz Sharif, and your obvious play at controlling the judiciary.
Almost to a man, the impression in every city I have asked people about you is that you are only doing this for personal financial gain at the expense of the country. They feel what may have been true or false impressions of large commissions associated with you as a nickname, will become even larger grabs of power and wealth.
As a result, the false blessing of your becoming President with a weak hand-picked judiciary, ugly constitutional amendments a gift from former dictators, lapdog lawmakers and apathetic public could become a true-curse.
The actions everyone predicts for you may ensure the total erasure of the Bhutto name and goodwill, and any chance for your son and coming Zardari generations from playing a positive, or any role, in the unwritten future history of Pakistan. The even bigger risk for your family and you would be to become “marked men” instead of leaving a great mark on history.
Therein, Zardari sahib, lies your opportunity. No. I do not refer to your opportunity to acquire larger Swiss bank accounts or longer lists of properties abroad.
You are actually blessed with truly low expectations from everyone.
From judges to generals, from journalists to generalists, from even your own voters, no one expects anything good for Pakistan under your rule.
That actually is a great chance for you personally. You, and only you, can easily, but with some soul-searching, some introspection, some staring at the mirror, some appreciation of where you stand on the crossroads of history, decide to become a truly historic figure – in a nation starved for historic leadership.
Will you, Sir, have the wisdom, decency, moral and political courage and a vision of making a real name for yourself, and your coming generations in history books.?
For your, your children’s and Pakistan’s sake, I hope so.
The nation is standing by to see what path you take. Good luck, President Zardari.
AAhhhhhhhh Today 6th September 2008 always remember in the History of Pakistan and our coming generations will make a JET BLACK DAY OF PAKISTAN (if Country will Exist)…… May Allah safe Our Country from MR. 10% (Previously) MR. 100% Cruntely…. I have no comments….
Regards
In a recent programme HAMID MIR(PIG) was once again pursuing a personal agenda against MUSHARRAF.
Rather than exposing the most corrupt leaders NAWAZ AND ZARADARI perhaps HAMID MIR is increasing his HARAM KI DULAT by taking money from them to stay quite about them.
HAMID MIR said that MUSHARRAF is more popular in INDIA because he damaged Pakistan’s stand on KASHMIR.
Its in MUSHARRAFS government that INDIA has accepted KASHMIR as a DISPUTE,its in MUSHARRAFS govermnet that their was a total CEASEFIRE ON THE LINE OF CONTROL FOR ALMOST 50 YEARS,it was in MUSHARRAFS GOVERNMENT that the KASHMIRIS from both sides who had not met each others relatives for last 50 years eventaully met their LOVED ONES when the BUS SERVICE WAS INITIATED.
HAMID MIR U HYPOCRITE state the facts just because GEO has given you a channel to speak from DONT BULSHIT
HAMID MIR NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT A LESSON THE DAYS NOT FAR WHEN HE WILL BE PARADED ON A DONKEY IN THE STREETS OF ISLAMABAD WITH JHOOTO KA HAAR AND FACE BALCKEDOUT….;
Thanks Sadia for appreciating the comments,just can’t believe how worthless and annoying people with limited knowledge become so famous in Pakistan but than again it can only happen in Pakistan…
It was funny today came across a tv programe for 6th September.Strange to see KIYANI sitting so comfortably next to Gillani.
In the programme the army spoke about the achievemnets they hace made in Baluchistan and all the army and PPP members were clapping in appreciation.
The strange and annoying thing is that the PPP and the journalists some of them were sitting their and clapping at the armies achievments in Baluchistan which is all due to PERVAIZ MUSHARRAF wheras they criticised him when he was the president.
Typical hypcrites…
BUT EVERY CRITIC OF MUSHARRAF WILL APPLUAD HIS EFFORTS IN YEARS TO COME AND TAKE CREDIT FOR THE ACHIEVMENTS THEY USE TO CRITISIZE HIM FOR…..
Even a sold-out Musharraf was better in power than the present gang of criminals.
Congratulation to Musharraf that Zardari became President because of his NRO. Controversial NRO had looters, murderers, and criminals become “saints” overnight. Injustice braought injustic.
Pakistan’s darkest day in history. ALLAH showed us earthquake as a sign. This is too dangerous for Pakistan ppl now… But ALLAH is GREAT, they (sheyaateen) can’t do anything BUT ALLAH can do the best.
Who calls election of Zardari as democracy – he gave at least three crores rupees to each of the MNA and Senator and MPA and bought their loyalties – after all when would that Swiss 60 million dollars would have been of use.
Zardari’s election was truly the blackest day in the history of democratic Pakistan and he would be far worse than Musharraf in presidency.
Those who elected him have done The greatest disservice to Pakistan for their own selfish ends. This shows we really don’t deserve democracy. Army is also at fault because they stood by watching what has happened – they would have interested behind the scenes but it looks like Pakistan Army also has become …. like those who elected this criminal and liar of the top order.
After seeing your whole web portfolio, i appreciate you on that. but still I think that I must have to confess that, you have two personalities instead on one. Making these sort of port folios, showing emotions for common pakistanis etc..but on ground PML-Q and its leadership is miles away from emotions and standing of Pakistanis. The support you led for the biggest culprit of Nation (Musharraf) will never make you nearer to a a comman pakistnis heart,
i can only advise one thing, be pure not hypocrate.
You seems to be a young blood in politics, but still you know that your father had done many things in past which is against the will of common man.
If you want to do politics of people, try to respect the national emotions….not the emotions of establishment. sorry if i’m a bit rude, but thats true emotions of nation.
saw you on t.v the other day,you are doing a fantastic job,keep up the good work.
I agree with you there Sajjad,i saw that show too where they were basically paying tribute to all the good work of Sir Musharraf in Balochistan without mentioning his name and they showed a grim looking Shahid Masood sitting in the background lol.
Rabia Huq I think you are member of the same pro Musharraf fan clubs on facebook that I am member of.I have been posting there too(aldude).
Just to let everyone know Musharraf has more fan following on facebook than any other leader of Pakistan.and that too after our biggest fanclub page with 15k members got deleted because of some ridiclous rules,i think daily times did report on that.
haha the unthinkable has happened mr10% has become president.Good things do happen to bad people in the Islamic republic of Pakistan ,tell that to the whole world.So what does God do to people who make crooks their leaders and their presidents?He keeps them a 3rd world nation?Well I hope Pakistan does well under Mr 10%(no this guy is not my president) so that the dollar can get cheaper for me to buy and I can get the hell out of here.And then one day when I am really old and wrinkly and may be someone like Marvi Memon is taking oath to be president of this country I can decide to come back.Marvi please do mention President Musharraf in your speech after becoming president.Thankyou
I have posted the Liberal Progressive Agenda which Pakistan needs to follow for its progress. (List of demands- in category section)Pls add to it since its a working document. It doesnt just belong to us the opposition. I hope it will be as much yours since civil society needs to ask govt for resolution of key challenges. Govt has no excuses left but to deliver. It depends on us whether we can scream loud enough to make it deliver. We owe it to Pakistan to get these issues resolved before bankruptcy hits us. Thankyou for your support.
A step forward in Americas Dream of a divided Pakistan…
Some months back an American report was published in which it predicted that Pakistan would become a failed state in years to come. It reshaped the borders of Pakistan, in which it stated Baluchistan would be a separate state and NWFP to be part of Afghanistan or a separate Taliban state called the “Islamic Republic Of Waziristan”.
On TV and from statements it did seem that Americans favour Musharraf heavily. But in reality especially in the last few years it can be said that Americans were getting wary of Musharraf’s strength and his ability in strengthening Pakistan’s future.
Musharraf’s steps in tackling Baluchistan and working closely with China for the betterment of Baluchistan were some what working against the plans of the Indians and the Americans.
Musharraf’s policy of banning the militant groups and clamping down on Islamic extremists was probably something the Americans and Indians were appreciating but perhaps behind the scenes it was damaging their long term plans as only an increase in Islamic fundamentalism and extremism can guarantee Pakistan in becoming a failed state and the only source of destabilisation.
The issues of tackling Baluchistan issue, banning militant groups were in Pakistan’s favour and in the long term guaranteed Pakistan’s future and its economy. A stable Pakistan and its growing economy would’ve made a nuclear Pakistan even stronger militarily and economically. At that stage it would’ve been quite hard for the enemies of Pakistan to work against it.
So the plan was not to let Pakistan move in the right direction for which you had to get rid of a strong, forward moving and bold leader like Musharraf and to bring in someone who will be the total opposite and take Pakistan back to the old days of the 90’s.
Luckily enough for the enemies of Pakistan the 18th February election were a sigh of relief as the people of Pakistan wrote their own destruction and helped them get rid of the only hope we had in Musharraf of a better, prosperous and bright and united Pakistan.
So we have the perfect scenario the most corrupt politician in Pakistan’s history as the President, a Prime Minister who can hardly look straight at the camera let alone write his own speech, a finance minister whose totally clueless and finds the national assembly a place where he can catch up on his sleep, information minister who is looking for another husband and a foreign minister who has no foreign knowledge.
A perfect team lead by Zardari which can go to any length in implementing the American, the Indian, the Karzai and the Israeli agenda, together with a sold out media.
Zardari and Co will work on American-Indian-Israeli agenda by:
• Trying to undermine ISI as mush as they can
• They will bring closer the anti-Pakistan Karzai
• Baluchistan will be given back to the Baluchistan Liberation Army so India can carry on supplying them with arms and so Pakistan doesn’t utilise the resources of the province
• Kashmir will be totally forgotten and even the Kashmir on Pakistan side can be given back to India
• Waziristan and NWFP will be given to the Mullahs who will be allowed to implement their own agenda and therefore implement sharia and establish their own state in the long run
• Sindh will be strengthened more and established as a no go area for Punjabis
• Punjab will eventually be tried to change into another Sindh
• Economy will continue to plunder and so the Americans will influence World Bank, IMF to strengthen their grip on us which was weakened during Musharraf era.
The perfect destruction team of Pakistan employed by the Americans has started work from 09/09/2008 lets see where it ends.
The insurgents in Baluchistan have stepped up, so have the Taliban in Waziristan. America has also started its campaign in the tribal areas of regular bombings and even sending in ground troops which was never possible under Musharraf.
The outflow of capital continues, the stock market continues to plunge, inflation keeps on rising, rupee keeps on devaluing, frustration continues to grow, loyalties continue to change, self interest continues to be a priority, liars continue to host talk shows.
Assalam-o-alykum,
I am personally glad to see some courageous ladies on Pakistani Political Scenario.Your dialogues on interfaith must be appreciated.I wish good luck in all your endeavours.I personally feel you start yours political journey in a wrong boat of PMl(Q), which are just gathering of thives,under the umberalla of a dictator. So in short run you avail the opertunist plateform . This indicates your political struggle will be full of troubles. This support of dictator will be always on your face, and people of pakistan gave their verdict on 18 feberaury.
i feel really sorry if my words hurt you
have a nice and wonderfull day
cheers
I am glad to see some courages ladies on political scenario of our country.you are doing well on interfaith understanding and it must be appreciated.At same time we should not forget about your political oppurtunism in the boat of musharf and Q league. These very people were rejected by people of pakistan on 18 of feb.To support a dictator will be always black dot on your shiny face. at same time i wish good luck in all your endeavours.
Just saw your program on Newsone. Our family and I were really impressed with your “Shola bayani”:).
Anyways , since you are in parliment. please please ask the government that why and gain why… since the textile industry is the largest industry of pakistan and govt. offer no scholarship to the students to study abroad.. I was admitted to NC state uni last year but could not go due to lack of funds…. please ask them why dont they want to support us
p.s. i did my BSC in Textile science from Textile Institute of Pakistan last year
Respected Madame.
With ref your program with Mubashir Lucman on 10 sep 2008 on TV 1 i would like to comment tha t both of u are not real, in my opinion mr lucman usrd the ladder of salman taseer and u of mr Memon other wise, how can u be a member parliment? and wat crieteria and wat quality u have? on wat grounds u r a member? do u or mr Memon have any consituency?so u and mr lucman talking about accountibilty is nonsensense as i think there are 100000 woman there more capable than u to be a member pariliment and more persons there to be an anchor like mr mubashar.
Hi
The website by parlimentarian is an excellent idea. Just saw your program in Lucman Show and most of your comments were balanced and impressive quite unlike other politicians. Please keep up the passion and the spirit.
It is nice to see some serious effort made by some politician for the awareness of common people. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE FAIR AND SQUARE IF YOU HAVE PUT SOME THING ABOUT UR PML Q GOVERNMENT STUFF HERE FOR ACCOUTIBILTY.
I just want to know that can Law do something about rigging in polls as it had shown and people have seen on electronic media in many parts of Pakistan. Secondly it my opinion that there should be a law according to which all parliamentarian should not contest MNA & MPA elections more then twice. They can be a Senetor as much as they like. Like that we can have different mind of people in politics. Might be like this Pakistan and the people can move ahead with less problems. People are loosing their interest in politic and the people sitting in it from long times and doing nothing. Other thing is
Ms. Marvi Memon, you seem to be relatively more informed about environmental factors – for instance your awareness of the longer-term issues (that politicians usually don’t worry about since they are more occupied with their own survival election-to-election).
For example your promotion of awareness about glaciers and possible impact of global warming.
I would like to draw your attention to another matter – the presence of Depleted Uranium in Pakistan.
This is a problem I had brought to the attention of some of the people who are now considered big shots of the news channels – Dr. Shahid Masood, Kamran Khan and others.
However I have NEVER heard anyone mention Depleted Uranium in ANY of their programs.
Although they have often lamented the loss of life that is happening now.
Depleted Uranium is a real risk and a possible environmental disaster. And this is because the U.S. drops thousands of tons of this material (it is used as cheap replacement for Titanium in many of it’s armaments – bullets in the A-10 gatling gun, missiles and bunker busters).
The danger is that it is nearly as radioactive as Uranium and contains all the isotopes usually found in Uranium. In addition it burns on impact and forms a POWDER which is dissipated in the wind and can drift downwind.
This is a MAJOR environmental disaster waiting to happen.
I realize this is not an issue that you alone can pursue, and it is already a bit late – since to actively prevent it, the muslim media should have been ACTIVELY promoting the dangers in this from some YEARS ago, so that the U.S. would have been shamed into NOT using it.
It has polluted areas of Iraq – like Basra. And everyday that the battles continue in the rest of Iraq and in which the U.S. used armament that is built with DU.
Please read up on DU on google, using terms like:
“Depleted Uranium”
“Depleted Uranium in Iraq”
“Depleted Uranium” Basra
This is an issue that I brought to the attention of media “luminaries” (more like demagogues) like Dr. Shahid Masood, Kamran Khan and others.
If they had been true readers they MUST have heard about DU – at least from the journalists they met in Iraq – Dr. Shahid Masood visited Iraq.
Yet they have confined themselves to challenging Pakistanis and the governments in Pakistan and have never created a robust portfolio of arguments to actually take their arguments to the West.
But did you ever hear them mentioning this real risk – not only to the current generation, but for generations to come ? We talk about our home country and the possibility that we have “at least our homeland”. However if these people are allowed to pollute this land as well, then what place will be safe.
Also these people do not realize the major breakdown of the Pakistan brand. If it becomes known (and it WILL become known later) that there has been extensive DU exposure in Pakistan. Then NO ONE will want our agricultural produce (esp. when they can get it from elsewhere). And only the poor and desperate will live here.
The reality is that we lack the presence of THINKING people in our legislature. People who can think forward 10 years, 20 years to see what our real problems are.

Last night I had chance to see you on TV show, after that I have few questions in my mind to share with you.
Muslim Leauge lost their election on 12 Feb 08 due to lack of party main leadership. Do you think is there really reason for loss or party was over confident in terms of elections, as ML has other very telented peopele why should change paerty leadership to telented guys like you or some other?
I would like to tell u that please ask yr leadership & others to burry the past. Please for the sake of Pakistan look for the future. Last night you were brilliant on Lucman Show, but at times i felt you were answerless cuz yr party didnt do anything on the issues raised by some callers. Anyway I pray for your future & the future of Pakistan.
aoa.

you know for the formation of pakistan one generation gave blood so we get pakistan same time is now there should be one generation to save pakistan which i think is no where so as a leader you people have to start that struggle other wise we will never make pakistan once more
because quaid-e-azam is not with us any more so kindly if you get time tell me system will remain the same every one comes to fill his or her banks thats it? you dont feel pain for pakistan think about that poor father who kill his own children why because of this situation
so the leaders gets all the blame why not you change the system aleast try silent public will be with you as visible one trust me we need visible change.if some one can do it you will see all the public with that person but that person should not be a cheater once more.

Best Regards
well marvi I like your style of talking. you are a well learned person and above all you have alffiliations with my respected president musharraf…the only one who deserved to be the president of my beloved country Pakistan.i’m suffering from acute depression since the day these plunderers, looters,dacoits and twicely tested thieves have taken charge of Punjab and Federal Governments. when would people be able to unterstand their shallow words and corrupt characters.now karzai alongwith other CIA agents will decide the fate of my country.i’m writing thesis about the deceptive use of language by political leaders and that had given me enough political insight to inerpret what’s going on around.may allah save my country from these voltures and people like you should never get tired to expose the hideen agendas of these so-called leaders.plz let me know how my president musharraf is doing these days? he has been and always will be my President as long as i live.
all the best
hi Ms Marvi,
its indeed a good idea to let people also express their point of view to one of their representatives. your family and educational background is impressive and its nice to have an educated person sitting in the assembly. I sincerley hope that you dont end up throwing bangles and “chadar” over the speaker of the house someday. However; a good family and educational background does not ensure a clean political life in this country.despite all your impressive credentials its eally a shame that you stand with a party that was nurtured by a dictator and crumbled once he disgracefully departed. i have no love lost for the incumbent regime,but still how can you so blindly support a butcher who killed hundreds of innocent children in lal masjid. all they were asking was to shutdown brothels and obsenity. how can you justify the ill intent of your premier who almost threw the steel mills away for a dime. maam for your “enlightment” mr musharaff was immensley disliked even in the armed forces. how can i say that? because i am one of them. he is the one who allowed the americans to disregard our territorial interity..i hate his guts…
search youtube for “musharraf resignation speech” (without quotes) for COMPLETE speech with ENGLISH SUBTITLES. Or just use the youtube website address above or go directly to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJzLX6GU-50
There are versions for mobile phones (3gp video 38MB and mp3 audio 3.6MB) there as well (see links in description section of video webpage).
Pass the speech video/audio around on your cellphones to your friends and family. It still sounds current in the current situation (U.S. acting up after Musharraf leaves the scene).
There is a core group of 15% of Pakistani population who have their heads on straight (if the post-resignation Gallup poll is to be believed). These are people who DESPITE the media propaganda (some say “perfect storm” effort – whether foreign or local inspired) still had the presence of mind to separate the wheat from the chaff, the fact from the fiction – constructed arguments which highlighted the negative but did not recognize the far greater positives.
Then there is a 20% group of people who were positive/negative about his resignation. These are the “we are now having regrets” crowd probably. This 20% of people can probably be turned – however they are the type of people who cannot be relied upon for good judgement i.e. they will bolt at any crisis and are people who cannot reconcile contradictory signals or stuff thrown at them by the media. And these are people who cannot understand the value of choosing the best option under the circumstances from among possibly bad/badder options.
The 63% people who were against Musharraf probably include people who do so for dogmatic reasons (belong to one party or other and not think for themselves), or for ethnic reasons (not all Punjabis – since a thinking Punjabi segment is deeply in support of Musharraf – but a certain section considers it an affront to have a “weak” Muhajir, as opposed to a “strong” – meaning idiotic – person who they can “respect”, or for people living around Islamabad, someone who belongs to a “family” who they can reach through side channels and finding him unreachable through most traditional channels are flummoxed and so find the whole situation thoroughly disconcerting), and then there are the .. idiots. And many of them are probably people who were not ready for the onslaught the media wrecked on their heads. Many of these WILL learn a less from this – and will start to mistrust the “media” much more. But these are costly lessons – which SHOULD have been taken 20 years ago. That it started only with Musharraf is late but still a good change.
Because in a country with high illiteracy, the visual medium is MUCH more of a reformer than the print media (which would always remain unreachable for illiterates). This is analogous to (if you think of computing) to the proliferation of mobile phones. And computers. Because of the audio nature of the phone it is usable by all and it achieves mass market – and BECAUSE of it, some of the same illiterates WILL get exposure to computers and WILL eventually get used to using what are essentially computers (i.e. cell phones or the next generation – as smartphone features make it into cheaper mobile phones as well).
It is for this reason that the visual media is ESPECIALLY important for Pakistan. With that advantage however also lies the danger of manipulation – because it is the same population (one complete generation has not grown up with this visual media yet even) but the means of manipulation now have reach through this visual media as well.
That is, there is the danger of foreign influence (i.e. if it is reformist that can be useful, but if it seeks to do some strategic impacting or to foment unrest then that is dangerous).
So for example you see the example of the U.S. possibly OVERpaying for the VOA programs being broadcast on Geo and AAJ TV channels. This situation is analogous to the OVERpaying that the U.S. did to the Jamaat-i-Islami printing presses in Karachi in the 1960s. The USIS used the JI’s printing presses and according to some sources burnt the material in it’s compounds. If true, this would be a “legal” way to provide funds to the JI.
A similar situation can happen if Geo TV UNDERpays to the tune of millions of dollars for some programming that they would otherwise have to pay more for – to some Indian channel for instance.
In the U.S./VOA case it can be argued that usually when Geo shows some external program they would PAY for it. Why is it that Geo is ASKING for payment for showing VOA programs. This raises the question this means that Geo probably realizes the programs contribute little informationally or in terms of content to their audience. BUT it is somethign that will create value for the promoter (i.e. U.S.). In THAT they basically are acting as agents of a foreign power.
Secondly while it could reasonably be argued that the U.S. is doing it to “reach the Pakistani people to build bridges”, there could be a secondary benefit for the U.S. strategic objectives – they CAN wind up intentionally OVERpaying to cover for what would essentially be a type of influence peddling – which may or may not be overt. But it could be CRUCIAL if it is used at certain times to exercise pressure on Geo management.
A third question also arises – that Geo presents the VOA programs as visually identical – and to many illiterates it will seem indistinguishable from normal Geo programming (for instance now they have even dropped the faint VOA logo that used to appear previously and was probably missed by many people even then).
The question that arises is – WHY would Geo want such brand dilution ? They are a running a very valuable news program channel – would any news organization volunteer the dilution of it’s brand, it’s look to show ANOTHER entity’s “identical looking” news programs in the middle of it’s news programming ?
These are all questions that should be asked by and OF the media. And they are answerable for them. The ONLY reason they are NOT getting more pressure from their viewership about these issues is that the viewership is majority illiterate (and Geo KNOWS that – it is no longer even the print business as practiced by Jang from the newspaper era). Right now Geo has TREMENDOUS leverage – to go for the jugular of the illiterate mind. They are buying time because they press those buttons. Those people ARE it’s audience and they are the ones who buy the soap and the cooking oil. As long as they are guaranteed that viewership Geo is under NO pressure whatsoever to answering questions posed to them by “concerned Pakistanis”.
In essence the “media” in Pakistan has become like the “democracy” in Pakistan – both address the most common denominator in Pakistan (actually niche channels like Dawn News and some of the business channels maybe slightly different in that).
And so it is not a surprise that the mass market media channels WILL become similar in argument and stridency as the politicians/political landscape in Pakistan – which has primarily been coloured not by the wise Islamic scholar or the thinking not-as-religious Pakistani, but will be coloured similarly by the tribal, ethnic (and in many ways pre-Islamic) culture of the villages of Pakistan.
However the media WILL remain monolithic AS LONG AS there is consolidation of power – where newspaper and satellite news are both owned by the same entity. This will lead to the creation of a few strong entities. However this is not all bad either – since this will allow the creation of media entities that are strong enough to counter bad government (and have the leverage of the print media’s local contacts). The disadvantage is that it PREVENTS the emergence of a new media which is free from the shackles of the old print media. Note that the old print media was a totally different entity – reliant on literacy in it’s customers for it’s survival (something which is short of in Pakistan). Thus newspapers – for all their competence – never achieved the mass market level and as a result never paid their employees as much and as a result did not get the best talent either. This COOPTING of the print media by the new visual media channels (by allowing satellite channels to be owners of print media groups) has allowed the induction of scores of print media people into this new media – and they have taken hold, occupying positions of power WAY beyond their capability AND THINKING. But this was probably also because of the rapid expansion of media during Musharraf’s era. If the expansion had been slow it may have produced a different type of media employee (though it could also have created a class of elitist “media people” who were unaware of the beat on the ground – as happens in the U.S. occasionally). But the fast expansion also has left a lot of print people in prime positions of power in the satellite news industry and they will continue to hamper it’s progress onto the second level (perhaps) as newer better trained people join th media groups.
Combineed ownership of print AND satellite media also is bad because it PREVENTS the creation of a strong anti-satellite stance in the print media – since satellite dominate (being a visual medium in an illiterate country), their PRINT arms would tend to dominate the other print newspapers which are NOT satellite owned. This will lead to the rapid domination of print media by satellite companies promoting the SAME satellite programming (as happens with Geo/Jang Urdu newspapers). Thus REDUCING diversity of opinion and commentary.
The coopting of print media also leads to the problem of fewer players – with the result that even if ONE of them is taken over by an outside group it would STILL look like it is Pakistani – but their strategic policies regarding what issues to cover and highlight could be subtly coloured by their masters or “business partners”.
In addition it could easily be acquired by an outside firm for a few hundred million dollars (not that much for foreign companies) – thus allowing them an instant and easy foothold into a country where the non-illiterates think they are running the country but where the illiterates are “owned” (that is, that is all they read, follow or are exposed to from the “news” side of things) by the visual media companies.
An example is the type of response one hears on these news media channels from the “man on the street” – while many will (correctly) point out the primary issues of inflation and high cost of food, there will be some who will dole out a litany of points about what has to be done:
- reinstatement of Chaudhry Iftikhar (deposed Chief Justice) and “Aazaad Adlia” (what the news channels SAY is what it would be if he was restored – which is a big IF i.e. is it not exactly the same thing – but presented enough times by media and it sounds like “the same thing” to the “man on the street” and there is NO OTHER media outlet which can disabuse i.e. reinform them of an alternate fact !)
- Musharraf impeachment
etc. etc.
Some of them are just parroting the “list” that has been bombarded by these media channels.
There should also be a classification of Pakistani media and Foreign media – channels that are primarily based in Dubai should be classified as Foreign media. But here too there is a benefit/disadvantage challenge.
A channel based outside Pakistan prevents it from falling into the most excessive of crackdowns that a government could do, but it also prevents the channel from diverging away from Pakistani issues and falling for other interests – for example like Geo with Indian commercial interests – which later prevent them from taking a challenging stance against India.
This one is a tricky decision as well – since there are advantages/disadvantages to both.
Which is probably why Musharraf did not do much to foster this distinction – in his view a “foreign” Pakistani media is actually a good change – as it allow Pakistan to push it’s ideals out to the world. It is a much more positive and pro-active way of addressing the situation, and the other alternative to “control” is rife with problems as then there are no limits to how much you will wind up crushing the media and then you might as well NOT have a media then.
Musharraf was singularly responsible for the creation of the media in this state that it is – essentially free. Although the exceptional events of attacks against Geo offices during emergency have been taken to great extremes by people like Hamid Mir (notice how Kamran Khan is not as aggressive against Musharraf) primarily for other-than-just-that attitudes among some journalists.
Regarding the attitudes of journalists – it is a well known fact that there is a preponderance of PPP-aligned people in the print media and “lawyers” because people with non-standard educational (or perhaps interrupted education) could find a niche because of their essentially independent nature of work.
So it is no surprise that when the PPP wanted to put pressure on Musharraf to get better terms in NRO they used the “lawyer’s movement” and NGOs (all too often funded by outside sources). With the NRO done, the lawyer’s movement naturally lost it’s PPP aspect and essentially became a group of 20 people (no wonder Aitzaz Ahsan has to say the demonstrations are small because they are of a more distributed nature i.e. “all over the country” now).
Respect. Mamdam
This kind of crime was rampant prior to the dawn of Islam. If it is a tradition of Baloch tribes (not all) then these tribes must be brought under the control / regulatory laws which are in compliance with ‘Shariah’ as well as within the constitution of Pakistan
“ALL PROBLEMS EXIST BECAUSE OF MUSHARRAF, NO MUSHARRAF NO PROBLEM”…..IS THAT RIGHT??????????
Not long ago in Pakistan the critic’s vast majority of them ranging from the opposition of Qazi Hussain Ahmed, PML-N and PPP to the journalists like Hamid Mir, Shahid Masood had one statement to issue and that was continuously on repeat mode. As they said:
“ALL PROBLEMS EXIST BECAUSE OF MUSHARRAF, NO MUSHARRAF AND THEIR WILL BE PEACE AND STABILITY, NO SUICIDE ATTACKS, NO AMERICAN AIR RAIDS AND THE ECONOMY WILL BOOM, MORE INVESTORS WILL COME TO PAKISTAN”
Musharraf and the well wishers of Pakistan who do utilise their brains knew that they are only political slogans and very far away from reality, as the personalities with the above statements have no charisma, no leadership qualities they are the Puray Likhay UNPURH, individuals who have self-interest above national interest and can cause all sorts of mayhem on the way to seeing themselves in power.
From 1999 Musharraf not only stabilised the economy but also in later years strengthened it so from being defaulted Pakistan stood as the emerging markets in the world.
How can someone with even a lesser intelligence level argue that Foreign Reserves in 1999 of $700m are better than $17bn in 2008? How can the critics argue that the economy size of $75bn in 1999 was better than $170bn in 2008? Either the critics l have no basic numerical knowledge at all or they are LIARS because basic maths is enough to see that $700m is less than $17bn and $75bn is less than $170bn.So how on earth can the economy be worse than 1999? Every sector and the overall size of the economy has doubled and in some cases tripled over the past 8 years.
By no means Pakistan has gone richer but at least agree that the economy has gone much stronger but obviously still needs a lot of work to keep it going.
The last 6 months has proved once gain that it was the leadership of Musharraf and the economic policies of Shaukat Aziz which made our economy a stable and progressive economy, where investors had full confidence in Musharraf and Shaukat Aziz therefore weren’t hesitant to invest.
But as soon as Shaukat Aziz left and Musharraf appeared less in command of the country the economic situation is their to be seen.
Now there is absolutely no investor confidence in the capabilities of the present government they have no direction and understanding of the challenges. Therefore the investors have withdrawn their capital, Rupee which should’ve gained slightly against a weakening dollar a few months back but instead it proves of our incompetent government that the rupee depreciated further.
Post 9/11 Scenario
President Musharraf made the right decision in supporting the world against the war in terror. It is our war not America’s probably America has woken us up because we were sleep for 50 years as we left our western borders specially NWFP and Northern Areas unguarded for 50 years. It now proves that was not a wise decision as people have freely crossed the borders over the years and it has not benefited Pakistan other than destroying our society with Kalashnikov Culture and heroin. Perhaps we should’ve guarded our western borders straight after 9/11 as it was obvious that Al-Qaeda and Taliban will cross over and start their campaign from Pakistan.
Musharraf had a good understanding of the dangers we faced with America and India sitting in Afghanistan.Musharraf was successful in containing American attacks in Pakistan as only aerial attacks were allowed only on pacific targets. Under Musharraf no Afghan troop entered Pakistani territory, no American troop landed on Pakistan soil to carryout a raid.
The dangers we are facing now are because of the weakness of the present government as the Americans do not consider our leadership as worthy of posing any challenge to them. The Americans are openly stating their policy about attacking Pakistan, American troops are landing in Waziristan to carryout raids, there has been 10 aerial attacks in a week (whereas under Musharraf their hardly use to be 10 attacks in a year).
Is this the democracy we were asking and crying for over the last 8 years? Democracy where there:
• Is no credible person leading and making the new policies, where:
• America is openly targeting innocent civilians by aerial and ground raids, where:
• Economy is plunging deeper and deeper, where;
• The rupee has no value left, where;
• China is being sidelined, where;
• Mr 10% is on private visits to London and Dubai, where;
• Load shedding, inflation, crime, unemployment is worsening, where;
• Stock exchange continues to take a dive from 17000 points to 9000 points, where;
• Investors are withdrawing their capital, where;
• Suicide bombers are still at large and strike at will(as they said their will be no suicide bombings when Musharraf goes)
When Musharraf was in power everything was going in the right direction with a bit of difficulty and their was strong leadership and a strong team to deal with the problems, but now it’s all shambles, incompetent individuals who have been given the responsibility of running Pakistan, A Pakistan which needed confident, bold and charismatic leaders like MUSHARRAF.
So, it seems after all that the critics have been proven wrong once again as a Pakistan without Musharraf will not be stable and prosper but instead will continue from 1999 again and be a failed state, a corrupt state, a state with incompetent individuals sitting in the government, a state where the enemies have once again started to threaten its sovereignty.
hi,
i am begining to think that this forum is just a gathering of people who think that two wrongs can make one right. yes zardari is corrupt but how could this acquit mr musharraf and his cronies from their crimes. he succumbed to the biggest con job of the history of the mankind(a.k.a war on terror) and commited the entire nation without asking anyone without any debate and against the wishes of a roaring majority. Turkey also rebuked such threats from US and still they are surviving pretty good. what have we achieved? truth is that this man musharraf took these decisions because he knew that he would never have to go to the public for vote. all he would have to do was to accomodate the winner with free treats like N.R.O. please for crying out loud if you worried for pakistan because you dont trust zardari then dont forget that it is your beloved musharraf who served his purpose and let this criminal to return with all pomp and show and become the president eventually. cant you see this man had no right intentions.Saying “pak ka Allah hi hafiz” just because he thinks he is the only hope we had..take a walk sir. you have harmed this country more than anyone else. honestly speaking now when i go out with my unifrom on i feel “unsafe” just because of you…May Allah expose your crimes..
Well Marvi, I am a journalist in APP English Service. The first time I saw u in a PML meeting in 2007 and under estimated u as a stereotype female just for showcasing in the political meeting. However, when I gradually started listening u it really stunned me especially during recent sessions of Parliament in PPP government u have been raising very important issues in befitting manner as I use to observe u from press gallery.
I also heard good words for u when I was on a coverage tour of Gilgit and other Northern Areas with then Information and Boracasting Minister Senator Nisar Memon in March this year. Two things I like u r ur name and ur loyalty to men of ur land which I came to know from MEHRAN TV Interview. I look forward to take a cup of tea with u…hmmmmmm?
You’re the MNA of this nation; I demand you to give us electricity in Karachi. WOuld you even care to publish my email, let alone reply. Expecting you to do something in this regard is foolishness. You guys wont do anything. All you care about is your personal accounts getting exponentially increased and that’s it! You are all losers!
May be you need to take a walk and think about your knowledge and understanding of the issues Pakistan faced and faces…
Musharraf said Pakistan ka Allah HafiZ Because of people like you who are wrong, but so proudly go around giving comments as if they are the brainiest of all.
What crimes are you talking about regardding
Musharraf?
One thing is encouraging to see that even the biggest critcics like you can only talk about LAL MASJID AND WAZIRISTAN.Which atleast proves that in 9 years of power only two negative issues LAL MASJID AND WAZIRISTAN stand out which means Musharraf was doing a pretty good job..
Lal Masjid was a issue which could not be tolerated but Musharraf did tolerate them for quite a long time infact i would say Musharraf was slow in reacting, in any civilised society Lal Masjid would not have even existed in the capital let alone the extremists going around kidnapping police offices and other foriegn nationals.Musharraf gave the lal masjid time to surrender they chose their own faith,the children if they did die?as most of them had already left the mosque, than the blame should go on Maulana aziz and his wife who kept them hostage inside with them.If you were trapped in the mosque you would force all the kids to leave immediately but if some did stay behind than Maulana Aziz forced them to stay for which he suffered heavily.
The people of lal masjid except the kids were not innocent,how can you be innocent and carry and bring guns inside a mosque,how can you radicalise kids their, how can you start implementing your agenda everywhere, how can you kill and kidnapp police officers and get away with it.
You want Pakistan to stay a banana republic where no law exists and anyone can get up and start implementing their agenda.
You talk about shutting brothels,theirs brothels all over Pakistan and have been before Muharraf came in power.Closing down brothels in one town is not going to make a difference plus the police need to do that not extremists who have been brain washed and want to take over the CAPITAL OF PAKISTAN BECAUSE THEY ARE LOYAL TO THE TALIBAN AND AL-QAEDA…..
The enlightened Musharraf was liked everywhere and specially the armed forces.AT THE PRESENT MOMENT HE IS IN THE ARMY HOUSE WHICH IS PROVE HOW MUCH THE ARMY LIKE HIM,THEY ARE THE ONES WHO GAVE HIM GUARD OF HONOUR AND THEY ARE THE ONES STILL FIGHTING IN WAZIRISTAN,IF MUSHARRAF WAS HATED IN ARMED FORCES THAN WHY IS HE STILL STAYING IN THE ARMY HOUSE AND WHY IS HIS POLICY OF WAZIRISTAN STILL BEING IMPLEMENTED.
SHEHARYAR get your facts right and open your eyes and see whats happeing in Paksiatn now?
Under Musharraf America didnt strike Pakistan 10 times a month and America didn’t send their forces on Pakistani soil, this has happened in the civilian dictatorship governements in power right now…
Next time state the facts not your personal thoughts on MUSHARRAF…………
JIYE MUSHARRAF
THE BEST LEADER PAKISTAN HAS EVER HAD…………
A couple of days back I got my Suzuki Khyber car rammed by a Toyota Corolla which was of a District Nazim Khairpur. The driver who banged the car into mine was apologetic yet at the same time unwilling to offer an amount for his mistake since my car was literally broken from the side. His car received a minor dent which I understood was a mistake of his right from the beginning. All this happened at the posh location of Park Towers in broad daylight. I spoke very softly to the driver and told him to call his master so that we could discuss matters. He did so immediately. When the District Nazim arrived in a government car (with green number plate), he showed his rude nature and aggressiveness was pretty apparent to one and all. Since I am the humble sort, I introduced myself and told him that his driver accepted his mistake and that he should offer me some amount so that I could get my car fixed. This put him in rash and he hurled abuses left, right and center. I told him I was his younger and I respected him (though there was no reason to respect such an abusive person) but he just didn’t give up. He even tried to push me away which was a shocker for me. Since I am from an educated lot, I knew that I had to back off and so I did. He sat with his two kids in his government car and took his personal car away with the same driver. In short, he knew I was humane to him so he used this to his own advantage. Is there any system within this land? Is there any law that one could look up to? Where are we really heading? The District Nazim Khairpur must know that he is accountable for his actions and words. I trust my God and I hope He will teach him a lesson which will make him mend his ways. It is just that I respected my own character and I didn’t find it feasible to stoop down to his levels that I kept quiet. May God have mercy on our country. May our leaders understand that the fire of hell is very very hot.
DEAR I DO RESPECT YOU BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE TALK TO DISTRICT NAZIM KAIRPUR WITH MORE POWER AND CONFIDENCE .YOU MUST HAVE FILE COMPLAIN AND SEND COPIES TO THE ALL TOP PEOPLES AND TO THE NEWSPAPER .ALL WAYS TAKE PHOTOS WITH PHONE CAMERA.YOU NEVER GAVE HIS NAME AND PARTY NAME .FROM JAMAL MY E MAIL IS JAMAL.SYED666@GMAIL.COM .

We love you Musharraf!
He has been an honest man with good intentions who tried to serve his country to the best of his abilities. In a country that has suffered so much over the years from corrupt and self-serving politicians like Nawaz and Zardari.
In deciding to resign as president of Pakistan, Pervez Musharraf has done the honorable thing. He has chosen the path of self-sacrifice and fallen on his sword rather than prolong the country’s crisis over his position as head of state. In doing so and putting Pakistan first, he has enabled it to move on. For that, all Pakistanis should be grateful.
General Musharraf in his historic speech to the nation, also enumerating the successes of his 8 years rule, announced to resign as President of Pakistan. General Musharraf was his confident self and his message optimistic. He bowed out with dignity and courage, to avoid confrontation, and in the best interest of the nation and the country. In his words, it was not the time for individual bravado. He received a guard of honor before he parted the Presidency
Today, our eyes and hearts cry! The man we so loved, honored, admired and cherished for his determination to deliver for Pakistan – and deliver he remarkably did! He was a man who believed & practiced in ‘Pakistan First’. The only honest and visionary leader we ever had. Pakistan progressed and prospered under his leadership. Pakistan had hope under his selfless & patriotic policies.
We love you Musharraf!
In President Musharraf’s era:
President Musharraf led a great team of economists and professionals with ex-PM Shaukat Aziz, to mark their achievements. Their achievements caused Pakistan to emerge as a geo-strategic important country with a 100% better economy! His effectiveness shall be measured by the results produced by the led! In 2006, Pakistan was the 3rd fastest growing economy of the world and world’s preferred destination for Investment!
In President Musharraf’s era:
Pakistan’s economy grew by 100% — to become $ 160 billion
Revenue grew by 100% — to become $ 11.4 billion
Per Capita Income grew by 100% — to become $ 925
Foreign Reserves grew by 500% — to become $ 17 billion
Exports grew by 100% — to become $ 18.5 billion
Textile exports grew by 100% — to become $ 11.2 billion
Karachi Stock Exchange grew by 500% — to become $ 75 billion
Foreign Direct Investment grew by 500% — to become $ 8 billion
Annual Debt servicing decreased by 35% — to become 26%
Poverty decreased by 10% — to become 24%
literacy rate grew by 10% — to become 54%
Public development Funds grew by 100% — to become Rs 520 billion
President Musharraf’s Vision and Policies
President Musharraf’s Vision and Policies helped Pakistan come out of the list of Highly Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) while setting it on path of prosperity, growth and economic reforms. While the world institutions like the World Bank (source) & (source), IMF (source) and ADB (source) have been praising Pakistan for its reforms, fiscal policies and macro-economic policies – the biased & wicked TV channels GEO, ARY & AAJ – have been projecting a negative, bleak and a hopeless picture on purpose to serve their isolated vested interest. These SOLD-OUT channels are creating despondency to drive away the foreign investment and depress over-seas Pakistanis. The contribution by these over-seas Pakistanis is instrumental in heaping and accumulating Foreign Reserves to stabilize Pakistan’s economy. Recent rumor-mongering (source) by these channels, that President Musharraf has been confined by the Army Chief and will resign soon, crashed our Stock markets (source) by 500 points TWICE! GEO, ARY and AAJ are benchmarks of ingratitude – for the leader who actually gave the freedom to come on air and express their views, and towards their own country!
For those that consider President Musharraf ..
For those that consider President Musharraf as an
For those that consider President Musharraf as an unconstitutional President:
1- PML-Q government passed a constitutional amendment in National Assembly, with 2/3 majority, also approved by Senate that allowed President Musharraf to hold dual offices.
2- Constitution of Pakistan – Article 63 clause (1) paragraph (d), read with proviso to Article 41 clause (7) paragraph (b), allows the President to hold dual office.
3- Supreme Court of Pakistan allowed President to stand for elections in November 2007.
4- President Musharraf was elected President of Pakistan, by a combined electoral of the Senate, National Assembly and the 4 Provincial Assembles
5- President Musharraf won by 58% votes in November 2007, as the constitutional President of Pakistan!
Therefore, he may still be considered an unconstitutional President (unrealistic) by those that have no regard for the Constitution of Pakistan, the 2/3 majority of National Assembly that elected him as the President and the Supreme Court decision (under PCO ex-CJP Iftikhar Chaudhry) that allowed him to take part in the Presidential elections
For us – President Musharraf is our HERO
For us – President Musharraf is our HERO – Our Leader!
There are three kinds of people: Those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who ask, ‘What happened?’” –Casey Stengel
President Musharraf made things happen for Pakistan!!!
The spirit who has seen the spectre of death cannot be scared by the faces of thieves; the soldier who has seen the swords glittering over his head and streams of blood under his feet, does not care about the rocks thrown at him by the children on streets — Khalil Jibran
DEAR SIR CAN ANY BODY KNOW PERVAZ MUSHRAF E MAIL OR WEB SITE .I HAVE GREAT RESPECT FOR MUSSHRAF .GOD BLESS HIM HE TRIED HIS BEST BUT CROUPT PEOPLE DO NOT WANT .I HAVE A SUGGESTION THERE SHOULD BE A SUPREEM COUNSEL CONSIST OF SIX MEMBER OF DEFENCE THREE MEMBER FROM JUDICIARY.ONLY HONEST AND HARD WORKING TO OVER LOOK FOR EVIL DISHONEST GUYS AND PUNISH THEM.THEY SHOULD MONITOR FROM PRESIDENT TO LOW LIFE CRIME LIKE RAPE OF 8 YEARS OLD GIRL .JAMAL
If I may answer your question (for which I am not being paid, I might add). You should have called the Islamabad Traffic Police to the scene.
Now if this was Shaukat Aziz’s tenure – he had given the Traffic Police “khuli chhutti” to fine diplomats, and parliamentarians – one even had his car lifted from the Ministry for escaping the scene of a confrontation with Traffic Police.
It seems the “honorable” former Chief Justice also had a tussle with the Traffic Police and essentially forced the police to back down – CJs have a lot of arbitrary powers it seems in Pakistan – including the ability to send serving officers to jail on a whim (please correct me if I am wrong).
In all the criticism of Shaukat Aziz, none of these idiotic media programs “taakra” etc. ever mentioned any of these things. In fact many of the PML-Q people have been reticent in their praise of Musharraf and Shaukat Aziz – because many of them did not particularly like Musharraf either – the whole Musharraf/PML-Q thing was a pretty awkward matchup – the real synergy actually existed between Musharraf and the PPP constituency – or at least that is my theory.
On one of the live call-in TV programs they had one caller who severely chastised the PML-Q parliamentarian (maybe he is part of the “forward bloc” now) for always coming on these programs and hearing criticism of Musharraf and Shaukat Aziz and then said the HE could provide a better list of achievements and then this caller started listing a whole list of them.
I do not know how the Traffic Police now manages the parliamentarians, but I would not be surprised if they have been slightly weakened with PM Gilani at the helm.
Pakistan’s defence establishment-if it can be called as an establishment-is the biggest farce ever enacted at the expense of a 170 million strong nation.
Abraham Lincoln was wrong, one can fool all the people-running into millions-all the time, by singing them lullabies, thrusting lollypops in their mouths and making them believe in trumped up and fictitious tales of valor and defence capability.
Pakistan has suffered the most at the hands of its own military, and the age olg dictum of, pakistan’s existence being imperilled by the internal dangers instead of the external ones is true, with our million strong forces being the gravest threat to our existence.
just a thing or two about Imran Khan and Mqm..all those who like Musharraf don’t think they are his alternative.
Lets start with Imran Khan first, don’t be fooled by Imran Khan,you might think oh hes not corrupt therefore he is good ,well Osama bin laden is not corrupt either so you may as well support him too.Imran Khan is a terrorist without a beard who has basically defended every terrorist act in Pakistan since 9/11. I was shocked to hear his analysis on the whole Lal Masjid incident ,he usually blames America and Musharraf for every terrorist act inside Pakistan, but since Lal Masjid incident was not liked to the war on terror ,he was a bit dumb founded so he started saying’ iss mulk mein fahashi bahut pehl rahi hay so therefore Lal Masjis people were justified’.i mean this is a guy who spent most of his life as a debauche and now that hes old ,he is aspiring to be Ayatullah Khomeni….give me a break.
He belongs to the same Mullah brigade of Qazi Hussain Ahmed,Hamid Gul,Hamid Mir etc who will put this country back to the stone age if elected.
As for MQM I am sorry to say that they are just a bunch of opportunistic thugs.I mean their main agenda in politics is to be against feudalism and here they have cut a deal with the biggest feudals in the country in pakistan people party.They might have been supporting Musharraf ,but I doubt their sincerity..infact they played a huge role in tarnishing Musharraf’s image in the country due to their criminal behavior on may,12.
Mr Sajjad,
wow some staunch supporter you are of the biggest criminal of this country.perhaps you need to set your records straight sir.as far as his popularity is concerned in the armed forces, i would not give any credence to your opinion as i am the one serving in the armed forces not you.the very fact that this criminal is still residing in army house just goes on to show how insecure he is.this creep continued to reide in army house despite resigning as army chief. it was kiyani’s right sir but no this man derived strength from such shallow actions.i can assure you sir that the officer corps of armed forces was no way less happier than the nation when this monster was thrown out. i only regret one thing though he should be prosecuted for his crimes.
you could not be more wrong when you say that us did not attack pak during his time. it is not that matter of number of attacks in a given time mister.the fact remains that this man started this horrific trend.he allowed them to use our airspace and bases. i am witness to all this. you just sit in your room and brag about his innocence. go in the military field and see what he has done.total fiasco. just for the lsut of power he sold his nation’s soul.he is singularly responsible for labeling pak as a terrorist state, because this man was a damn “coward”, only a coward needs to tell everyone how brave he is through chest thumping machismo.bravery speaks through actions.
as far as lal masjid is concerned mister sajjad you are probably on e of those people who are bred to think that a man wearing beard is an enemy of the state.Your reasoning though is not worth replying to, i would however tell you just one thing,the lal masjid operation can not be justified by anyone.you must think again before you speak for the brothel operators.there is absolutley no tolerance for such acts in our religion.unless you dont give much to your religion you must side with the martyred children.yes we can differ with the way they operated and i agree with you that there was a better way to protest but nothing can justify the bloodshed that followed.open y our eyes mr. this man installed a corrupt non elected man whose corruption is only now surfacing.his own party wont own him.wake up. call spade a spade.thats all your country asks of you.. not the support you render to this dictator.
lol this country has become a joke.imagine if somebody shows up in Zardari’s office and says’sir there is a problem of corruption in our country that we need to address’ how would that sound like ? lol…may be Zardari would say ‘oh well tell them to take 5% instead of 10%’
mr ali sid,
well you have all the right to judge people in public eye. you can do it to your hearts content.however i would just say one thing about imran khan. he may have been a playboy in the past and lived a life of a casanova.but the truth is that this man has achieved something unlike most of the pygmies of uncle sam we have. our nation is a nation with very few achievements in recent past. this man single handedly won us the world cup and if you think thats not important.plz think again. sports build up a nations chara cter. name any nation that has achieved anythi ng without being good at sports. secondly this man built a cancer hosp despite all the criticism that he was on wild goose chase.give the man some
credit. all he has said is that talk with them . you are right about MQM
DID PAKISTANIS EXPECT DIFFERENT TO THE BOMB BLAST IN ISLAMABAD…..?WELL SORRY IF U DID…………………….
Scores die as suicide bomb hits hotel
Westerners were targeted in an attack that devastated The Marriott Hotel in Islamabad, killing at least 60 people
• Did we expect the government to be competent enough to manage security of Pakistan?
• Did we expect the government to secure Islamabad?
• Did we expect that the government would protect one of the few hotels in Pakistan where foreigners feel slightly safe and where two attempts have been made already in the past?
• We expected the government to deploy all security to look after Mr 10% because he was in Islamabad we did not expect them to look after the rest of Islamabad
• After receiving credible intelligence that a truck and a car would be used to blow up the parliament did we expect the government to act and beef up security?
The answer to the above is NO for ant-Musharraf supporters the answers was YES so I’m sorry for those people who were dreaming that government can manage the affairs of Pakistan..
A government which has in the last 8 months done nothing in terms of ECONOMY, TRADE, INVESTMENT, INFLATION, LOADSHEDDING and SECRUITY but only tried to strengthen their hold and their powers this is what was expected.
A TRUCK AND CAR FULL OF EXPLOSIVES ROAMING THE STREETS OF ISLAMABAD WHILE THE GOVERNMENT WAS DECLARING VICTORY IN THE NAME OF DEMOCRACY.
People would argue that under Musharraf their were more bombings, but they are wrong under Musharraf you had a clear policy in dealing with terrorism, under Musharraf their was attempt on MARRIOT but their was enough security in place to thwart that, Under Musharraf you weren’t helpless they way the government is now A HOTEL FULL OF FOREIGNERS WAS ALLOWED TO BE HIT IN SECURITY LAPSE WHICH COULD ONLY HAVE HAPPENED IN A HELPESS, USELESS AND INCOMPETENT GOVERNMENT, A TRUCK FULL OF EXPLOSEIVES ON THE STREETS OF ISLAMABAD GONE UNDETECTED AND ABLE TO DESTROY THE WHOLE HOTEL.
Under Musharraf you had the economy moving forward even when the bombs were going off but now the economy is on a downward trend and the security even worse. The combination of both economy and security worsening is a very dangerous scenario, something which Pakistan can’t afford.
A DECLINING ECONOMY, INCOMPETENT LEADERS, TERRORISM, LAWLESNESS,A DIVIDED NATION are the factors which create a FAILED STATE,THE DANGER IS THAT WE ARE HEADING TOWRADS THAT WAY…..
But what to do now the voters have voted in the government and has to put up with any possibility, shame that Pakistan has to suffer…..
Musharraf was 1000% justified in lal masjid simple as that as every government in the world would’ve acted,Army with musharraf thats why his in the army house,simple as that no arguements,his liked thats why his their.Thats why the army still pursue his policy in the tribal areas.
You might be in the army but ur some of those who always work against the interest of Pakistan and the army.
People like u dont like Musharraf because theirs one word which you survive on DICTATORSHIP i think you dont know the meaning of DICTATORSHIP.
Don’t you see the civilian dictatorshp where ZARADRI and his family run PPP where ZARDARI dictates GILLANI and the whole party,you dont see the DICTATORSHIP of PML-N where NAWAZ and his faily is the king and all their decisions are final.
I rather have a dictator in uniform like Musharraf who is more capable, more intelligent, better speaker and gave more democracy to Pakistan..rather than the civilian dictators who gave corruption, mismanagement and a failed economy to pakistan.
So dont just repeat DICTATOR DICTATOR AND DICTATOR because all in Pakistan are dictators….
thank you very much my dear brother sajjad, we are soldirers of pervez musharraf it is our duty to expose mafias like media and hypocrate politicians. same wishes for you thank you again
Faraz
Islamabad
we must defend this great man pervez musharraf and his restless work for the welfare and progress of our beloved country , wherever we are whatever we can we shoudl do and defend this great man

Hopeless and Incompetent Individuals running the affairs of Pakistan
Rehman Malik an extremely hopeless and incompetent person in charge of security in Pakistan. Under him Pakistan should not be secured at all bombs will go off at will and the day is not far when the parliament house will be attacked as well.Rehamn Malik was in charge of security for his own leader BENAZIR if he could not protect her and as he mentioned in an interview that “he was not even aware that Benazir’s car was fired upon first” according to him “after the blast they rushed to the hospital to find out the car their following isn’t Benazir’s”. So someone who admitted being hopeless on Benazir’s security, how can he be in charge of the security of Pakistan.
The attackers of the hotel attacked at will and when they wanted as they were full aware that Islamabad is not secure anymore under the present government.
The evidence of the hopeless individuals running the affairs of Pakistan is clear despite having intelligence of a truck being used no solid step was taken to crack down or ban trucks for a limited period in Islamabad or at least in the red zone where the parliament and hotel is situated.
But instead we had all the security arranged for the one and only almighty ZARADRI.The terrorists tried a few times to attack Marriott in the last 9 years under Musharraf but due to satisfactory security arrangements they could not plan a truck bomb or any other large scale attack, but clearly now the terrorist felt more comfortable to fill up a truck of explosives and strike on the day they wanted and the way they wanted.
The clueless individuals of the government blame it on elements who are against democracy, which again shows that according to them it happened because they are right people to lead Pakistan, whereas once again its wishful thinking on governments part.
The terrorists didn’t strike because theirs democracy in the country now, they struck because the government is a weak and incompetent one in which all elements working against Pakistan have more chances of achieving their goals.
The prime minister said that the truck bomber wanted to target him and the parliament, the interior minister says that the truck bomber wanted to target the hotel, Sherry Rehman says the president was the target. Just their statements tell a story of a government in which no one is in control. The individuals in charge of Pakistan are clueless in tackling Pakistan’s issues. How long can we allow them to manage Pakistan……
Dear Marvi, salam
I’m very disturbed since last September 2007.I know you are not a psychic healer but at least I can share it with you. When twicely tested and defected looters of my country were allowed to come back under immense pressure of USA the great. I saw a dream about my respected President Musharraf long ago. I saw a small lake with two beautiful lotus flowers in it surrounded by marshland where he was standing and plucking the flower very calmly. His outfit and shoes were totally saved from that wet marsh.
I got depressed but then realized that it might be the upcoming difficulties in his life and Pakistan with the arrival of those 2 culprits and he would then overcome it. But later on, their agitation against him and leaving out his post so decently and in a very dignified manner made me understand the whole thing. He didn’t make himself dirty with them in that marsh and saving his outfit….his respect in his lovers’ eyes left gracefully without saying a word for those enemies of Pakistan(CIA’s sponsored so-called democratic leaders). If you happen to see him in near future…plz let him know how much my family love him and pray for him. May allah shower his countless blessings on him for ruling in such an honest, sincere and truthful way and may allah save our country from dishonest leaders. amin
well Sajjad i totally agree with you.keep up the good work…
dis-agree their shahryar with you and your beloved Playbody turned Mullah Imran Khan.You can’t talk to terrorist who are hell bent on killing you and want safe heaven in your county .I agree with what Rahman Malik has said ,we only have 2 choices.. we either handover this country to Taliban or Fight against them.What Taliban and ALqaeda want in Pakistan is a safe heaven… because they are being attacked in Afghanistan, they want to cross the border into Pakistan and hide here.President Musharraf send forces to Waziristan for that very reason because if you don’t do it ..you will end up isolating yourself from the rest of the world.If idiots like Imran Khan come into power thats exactly whats gonna happen….he’ll turn a blind eye to all the terrorists hiding in this country who want to plan attacks against the Westerners and pretty soon we’ll be seen playing the same role that Taliban was playing for Al-qaqda before 9/11.We are a 3rd world country with way too many economic problems to let that happen.Most of our exports go out to America and Europe,if we follow Imran Khan’s advice ..not only will we be destroyed economically ,but will also end up imposing Sharia Law on ourselves,every Mosque in Pakistan will get encouraged to do what the folks at Lal Majid were doing.
One more thing about Imran Khan he often talks about the Independence of Judiciary as if making the Judiciary in Pakistan independant will be this ground breaking event which will change this country forever.Judiciary in Pakistan is not like the Judiciary in England or Switzerland,it is the 3rd most corrupt institution in Pakistan according to Amnesty International and its deeply politicized..yes,whoever thinks this lawyers movement was about fighting for some pricniples or defending the constitution is a fool.If it was about that then why Aitazaz AHsan whos so relaxed nowadays… is a member of the party which is refusing to do the exact same thing which Musharraf was refusing to that is restore Chaudary.
Going back to corruption.A lot of these judges of the supreme court who have refused to take oath under Dogar are corrupt including the one every loves(thanks to geonews) Iftikhar Chaudary.I know that for a fact because some of my colleagues have had to deal with them ,they take bribes!.Yet some how they have been made to look like heroes in the eyes of the people.
I saw you on capital talk last night.When I saw Farzana Raja shouting last night,I could’nt help, but think how big a mistake NRO was which allowed these horrible horrible people to come back to Pakistan and win elections.I have a lot of respect for Sir Musharraf,may be he was thinking that the secular forces in Pakistan need to be strengthened.But I am sorry to say, he got it all wrong by having a dialogue and then a deal with these crooks.Few people are worse in our country than these feudal politicians in Pakistan Peoples party.I think Musharraf should have realized that his real enemies apart from the Mullah Brigade were these politicians living in exile and not so much the judges and the lawyers.Because the supreme court of Pakistan kept supporting him for a very long time and did’nt allow sharifs and bhuttos of this country to come back.
Mardana Raja shouldn’t be invited in serious talk shows. She is good for Breakfast with Nadia Khan.
Taleban is our enemy. I hope this sinks into Hamid Mir soon.
I am proud of Marvi Memon she replied all quesetions very well.
I must admit that today Marvi Memon spoke very well … may be because she is not talking as PML Q representative, but as a Pakistani.
I want to conduct a self analysis and an open, transparent, self appraisal. Corporate training has made me believe in periodic appraisals. So here goes my first political self appraisal… Enjoy
Phase 1- accountability to the people.
I initially felt that through this website and my interactions with people…and especially web pages describing my daily activities I would put myself in the awami Katera. On this count, I feel that I have managed to start this trend whereby an MNA is accountable for their time to the people. Even a simple tool such as this diary has made me more conscious of the fact that I better be doing something productive daily or else I would have nothing to say on a daily basis on the diary page. This has pushed me to do things which I consider productive for Pak’s growth. I have tried to use my time judiciously.
Phase 2 – identifying problems and keeping a check of the dysfunctionalities of govt.
My personal rating on this is as follows: I feel I have successfully been identifying the problems through media analysis and through interaction with relevant constituencies – the problems being faced by Pakistan as a nation and as a state. I have also been successfully communicating them very actively, whether through media talks or through this website or through the many talkshows I have been doing.
Phase 3 – pushing govt for resolution of these problems.
I have been unsuccesful. I accept.
Phase 4 – on govt failing to resolve, providing solutions myself and getting them implemented myself.
On subjects where I consider I have an expertise I feel I have been providing solutions. On other issues where I dont have expertise i clearly have not been providing solutions. So I would rate myself partially successful on this front.
Going forward…I sincerely believe that today Pakistan’s biggest problem is that we have a lot more experts on problem identification rather than problem resolution. Here in lies the fault with each one of us politicians which we are not willing to accept. Govt will never accept that they are failing with resolutions. They only hide behind virsa syndrome and frankly end up alienating themselves from the people. Opposition has become a bandwagon and the team lead for the problem identifiers. We are stingy with our solutions since we believe that when we come into power then we will provide those solutions since only then can we implement them.
Having said this we have an urgent need for putting together a solution based team especially since govt is not performing its role. We need to have almost a parallel shadow cabinet from the people, from the informed youth and from the intelligentsia – experts who can come up with action plans to resolve our crisis since govt is not doing this …
I need your help… I want to know if you would like to be in this shadow cabinet of informed youth so that we can fulfil our obligations towards saving Pakistan from the quandry that it is in now.
Your country needs YOU.
Here is what I am suggesting:
I am creating shadow ministries with goals attached to them:
1-Interior Ministry: War against extremism and improve law and order and justice
2-Religious Ministry: harmonize relations between all faiths and within the same faith whilst improving the quality of Muslims we produce as a nation.
3-Foreign affairs Ministry: Dignified relations with our neighbours and other powers
4-Inter-provincial Ministry: improve relations between the provinces by being fair about resource distribution.
5-Finance Ministry : improve macroeconomic conditions of Pakistan
6-Agriculture Ministry: provide food security
7-Energy Ministry: provide energy security
8-Women ministry: empower women politically, socially and economically whilst protecting them from injustices
9-Environment Ministry: improve the environment of Pakistan
10-Industries Ministry: improve Pakistan’s industrial competitiveness and productivity
These are some basic goals. Through my email interactions with a lot of you I have realized that a lot of you want to be part of the solution and help Pakistan progress. If you are interested pls send your one page CV on my gmail address along with a one pager on why you should be chosen as a shadow Cabinet Minister/expert who will provide solutions through this forum to the government. Each Ministry should have 5 experts minimum so there is space for more than just a Minister!
i m living here in saudia arabia….!! i big suporter of mushrraf and you…!! i just wana say keep doing the good job for pakistan. i really salute you and my duwas are alwayz wid u and ur family and me n my family is really proud of u and ur parents to have such a lovly and confident daughter. just take care and enjoy rest of the ramadan…!!

May Allah Bless u and pakistan
Just saw you recently on Kal Tak (Sep) for the first time.
Good to know that there are people among the politicians who actually understand and speak the tongue of common man.
However, from other internet sites, I came to know that you were from PML(Q) and have spoken pro-Musharraf many a times in other talk shows. I’d rather not like to comment on your personal thinking about such issues, but here is a comment by one of the viewers of your programs that I’d like to share with you: “..at least Kashmala Tariq was smart enough not to praise Musharraf, Memon does so and with gusto: political suicide, not to mention a slap in the face of all pakistani’s.”
If so, I do consider it a slap on my own face too. How could you be on Musharraf’s side on one end and be patriotic along? Seems impossible, quite.
Anyways, whatever be your agenda (personal or otherwise), good luck in all your positive endeavours for the country. What I liked most about your style of speech was that you seemed to be one of us in the way you perceived things – infact, you reminded me of one of my lady classmates, who spoke the very same way on political matters.
Best Regards.
I wanna put my hand up here Marvi eventhough I had this beautiful dream the other day where I saw General Kiyani making a speech on national t.v and all the private channels were blocked.
ASIF Zardari is batting on two strikes. Another swing and a miss, and he’s going home. The first strike was the bizarre, abortive handover of the ISI to Rehman Malik.
The second was Kayani’s rebuke the day after Asif was sworn in as president. Ostensibly Kayani’s condemnation was of the Americans, but between the lines was the real target: Asif. Get your act together, the army chief was telling his supreme commander.
Asif has stumbled badly on Afghanistan. The macho men who wanted to defy the American juggernaut on the warpath the day after 9/11 are still amongst us, still advising defiance. The day after 9/11 this was sheer foolishness. But it is no longer the day after 9/11. Seven years of the Americans in Afghanistan and reality has changed. Pick up any report on the West’s adventure in Afghanistan and you will find two things: one, US policy in Afghanistan has been a failure; two, US policy in Afghanistan will not succeed without Pakistan being on board.
In the world of realpolitik, this is known as an opportunity. So why must Asif so cravenly accept the Americans letting loose their Special Ops troops and raining down missiles in Waziristan when he can happily unleash? He had every chance at his debut press conference; instead, he bizarrely chose to speak alongside Karzai. The Afghan president is about as popular in the Pakistani Army as George W. Bush in an Al Qaeda training camp.
What is the problem in Afghanistan? In a word: Karzai. Don’t take my word for it, here’s what The New York Times had to say in an Aug 20 editorial: “Afghanistan’s president, Hamid Karzai, must rein in his government’s rampant corruption that has all but driven his people into the hands of the Taliban and criminal warlords.” What then was Asif doing at the side of a man not only discredited in the West but hated by the Pakistan Army?
Another thing: the western – read American – strategy in Afghanistan has failed. Again, don’t take my word for it. Francesc Vendrell, the EU envoy in Kabul for six years, had this to say over the weekend: “We are not destined to fail, but we are far from succeeding.” Earlier, Vendrell told Stephen Sackur of BBC’s ‘HARDtalk’: “I do leave with a sense of regret that we’ve made so many mistakes. … we’ve got to do a hell of a lot to make things right.” In the euphemistic world of diplomacy, this is the equivalent of saying “we’re a disaster.”
Given this record of western failure why does Asif have to be so apologetic for Pakistan’s failure to help out the Americans in Afghanistan? There are 26 Nato and 14 non-Nato countries contributing troops to Isaf. Each country’s rules of engagement are so complex and dense that were the Taliban to walk right up to some Isaf troops and dance a little jig, certain countries would still not allow their soldiers to shoot. Why then must Pakistan always ‘do more’?
Perhaps if Pakistan wasn’t actually doing something about its Taliban problem – somewhere, anywhere – the supine cravenness of Asif before the Americans would be understandable. Except that we are. Bajaur and Swat are being pounded mercilessly, militants are being flushed out, leaders are being knocked off. But the Americans aren’t satisfied because Bajaur is at the northern tip of the tribal belt while they are more concerned with the southern bit. Waziristan, north and south, and the Haqqani, Hekmatyar and Nazir networks exercise the Americans. Meanwhile, 300,000 Bajauris flee the bombing and Ambassador Patterson, de facto American leader in Pakistan, announces that $50,000 has been set aside for “gas stoves, pots, utensils and plastic sheeting”. Well, fantastic. That’s less than the cost of a Hellfire missile fired from a predator. So for Asif to denounce the American forays into Pakistan wouldn’t be jingoistic nationalism – it’s common sense. For one, Asif need only imagine how much less common sense than nationalism there is in the army. For another, he has an unbelievable luxury – he can. Everyone knows the Americans can’t really afford to be on the wrong side of Pakistan. Jack Straw and the French have already distanced themselves from the strikes inside Pakistan. Here’s more from that NYT editorial, with the alarmist headline ‘Afghanistan on Fire’: “Sending American troops or warplanes into Pakistani territory will only feed anti-American furies. That should be the job of Pakistan’s army, with intelligence help and carefully monitored financial support from the United States.” If all these important – western – folk think American Special Ops running around Pakistan and blowing up the place is such a bad idea, why must Asif be so tepid in his criticism?
There’s another reason for Asif to unleash against the Americans. The same NYT story on Bush’s secret authorisation of strikes inside Pakistan, also had a staggering allegation against Kayani: that he knew of the plot to bomb the Indian embassy in Kabul. In living memory, a Pakistan army chief has not been directly implicated by the Americans in a criminal plot.
This then is the scenario that Asif is confronted with: angry Americans who can only rattle the Pakistani cage so much; an army chief who is under American fire; and a failed American policy in Afghanistan. Why can’t Asif connect the dots? Figure out who’s your enemy, who’s your friend and when to take a hit for the team, friendly or otherwise. Asif should make the Americans squirm a little. The next time Patterson, Boucher, Negroponte – or even Bush – is on the phone, ask your secretary to tell them you’re on the phone with your daughter at college.
And get a better team. We were made to believe that Chaudhry Mukhtar was passed over for prime minister because he was too much of his own man. None of that is on display as defence minister. Mukhtar must still be sulking over being passed over because every time he opens his mouth someone somewhere in a uniform gets angry. Then there’s the oily Husain Haqqani. Listen to the man long enough and you’ll be confused: is he the Pakistani ambassador to the US or the US ambassador to Pakistan? So incompetent is Asif’s defence team that the intellectual nobody with the connections to die for, Rehman Malik, has come out the brightest of the lot. At least you have to hand it to the indefatigable Malik: he does try, even if he’s out of his depth.
The survival lesson for Asif is clear: push back against the Americans, or else be pushed out by the army.
whats the difference between ppp and terrorsts. both killing innocent people
“Ansar Abbasi of The News reveals that the attack on Marriot was probably targeted on US Marines, who were on a secret mission and had shifted a truckload of steel cases in the hotel on same night when General Mullen met Gilani.”
Very efficient on the part of Jang News Group to distract people from the real horror of the incident.
I hope the Pakistani people will not be distracted by the conspiracy theories of these irresponsible journalists with an agenda.
The fact is that over fifty people have been brutally killed and two hundred fighting for their lives.
Shame on Jang News Group – the likes of Ansar Abbasi and the propagandist Hamid Mir – for misleading the Pakistani people.
If this doesn’t open up people’s eyes to what our military and agencies have been doing in FATA for the last two decades, I don’t know what else will.
A high alert warning issued at Islamabat Airport today.Marvi for Godsake tell em to make a border between Wazrisitan,Fata and the rest of the country…isolate them from the rest of Pakistan.Get em out of here!.we dont need these people!.
I can’t imagine whats gonna happen to the ruppee and the economy of Pakistan now which is already under pressure if these sucicide bombings starting happening on a more regular basis in our big cities.We cant afford this anymore ruppee is trading at 78 to a dollar and our reserves our dwindling.Last year when these suicide bombings started to happen our economy was is good shape ,ruppee was at 60 and our reserves were touching 16 billion dollars ,but now with whats happening around the world on the financial front and given the situation of our economy we cant take this anymore.Our aid provider America is facing crisis ,the saudi oil facility we dont know what happened to that.This is an alarming situation which can destroy us ecnomically to the point where dollar might touch 100 against our currency.Some drastic measures have to be taken here!.
the problem with us is that we take a long time to react.when 9/11 happened in the us, the us immigration authority reacted within months and new immigration laws came into place… 7 years on no other such attack has happened in the .u.s.They are doing the same with their financial crisis now…while we have waited over 7 months to come up with an economic strategy to resolve our economic issues.
I don’t know what we have been doing since 9/11 ,we have been waiting for things to go wrong or what?9/11 happened long time ago ,we should have realized it right then that we need to make our cities safe from the repurcussions of this…that should have been our priority!…rather than apealing to the political rhetoric that these people are our muslim brothers or what have you.the people who get hanged in pakistani jails everday are our muslim brothers too,may be we should’nt kill them either.
War and diplomacy alone is not gonna solve this problem,I don’t know what Rahman Malik is doing here…a day after the sucicide attack in Isb ,Dawn t.v was showing how easy it is for anyone to get into Islamabad without being checked.
We need to do checking at all entry points of our big cities,it does nt matter what problems that can cause ..it must be done …I was shocked to see that report by Dawn T.V.Its unbeleivable how incompetant our minsiters and authorities are in dealing with situations like these.
respected marvi
AOA
i want to write something for the victims of suicide attackers and there families, i as a pakistani think that we must have to own and support the families of victims of suicide attacks who earn just 3000 or 4000 rs and lay down there precious thing, life for this country and really for “thankless” nation who axe there feet on 18th feb thankless nation who is busy in squaring one since last 61 years. thankless nation who cannot differentiate there friends and foes.
we must have to make a fund for these victim families cos it is our duty, i also feel pain in my heart when i saw only poor security guards, police sepoys and constibles and low ranks officials lay down there lives for there duty. now it is our duty to take care of there families , please highlight this issue in programs and educate our nation and in this regards i want to offer you my full support as much as i can.
i feel that by infilterating pakistani nationalism in us by media we can serve this beautiful country for which we all gave so much sacrifices, if we want to save our beloved homeland we must comeout from our provincial clolonies and parochialism, cast, creed, breed , language, sect. if we want to serve and save pakistan we must believe and think in pakistani nationalism.
i also request you to ask these plunders, looters and absconders who came into programs with you (PMLN and PPP politicians speciallu and rest in common) some questions
1- what is the main difference in the policies of respected General pervez musharraf and todays so called democratic government?
2- if these were right why didnt these nonsence politicians support these policies then ? and implementing now ? was animosity with general pervez overshadow national intrerest at that time.
3- please ask each of these morons, what agenda and vision they and there stupid leadership have for pakistan economy, foreign policy, interior policy and war on terror, also request them to stop telling us stories we are sick now by listeneing them again and again.
4- please mention one thing in your program also i as a patriot pakistani strongly feel that president pervez musharraf gave us true meaning of patriot leader, he was the man of tact and diplomacy which todays leadership lack badly. he was the man of strong nerves whereas todays leadership doesnt seems to sustain any pressure one last thing: these politicians have made a blunder(infat a ruthless creul with the nation and country) by removing general pervez musharraf, we firmly believe that general have still capability to drive out us from these worst circumstances which these inept so called leadershp lacks and find all solution in slogan “zinda hay bibi zinda hay” and in “Azad Adalia (Nawaz Adalia)”.
Thank you very much

Islamabad
marvi memon is one of the very few young & educated parliamentarian we have and she does not deserve the treatment the callers gave her today on faisal qureshi’s show. she may be bragging about the acheivement during their reign but it was all true. people should not be too harsh and could have been nice to her. our society is dominated by men and so is the parliament and all the parties im sure. plz i beg you all to curse and question those who are in power and yet are unable to do anything for the people of pakistan. And dearest Marvi Madam, we respect you and have faith in you. Please keep up the good work and prove to the nation that you are indeed here to help them.
Saw you on sama t.v with Faisal.Goodness me what was up with that kid ,better not leave everything to the youth of this country haha.
One thing I realized after watching that discussion is that people here don’t talk enough about the big issues in our country like corruption,murder,feudalism,fanaticism.Even Faisal is always more interested in talking about trafic violations and trash cans instead of focusing on the big issues.May be the problem is that if we talk about corruption or murder on t’v we ‘ll get threatened because a lot of our politicians are involved in that.Let Faisal talk about whats been going on in Karachi University for instacne where a lot of studens have died recently because of student clashes between 2 rival groups ,yet our government does not want to ban student unions.Lets talk about the corruption in government offices where somebody whos not even matric pass is making more than a Harvard Graduate would.Have you ever been to a registrar office in Karachi for Property registration?Why can’t the t.v crew of these channels show up there and expose the corruption of these people in these offices?.I’ll tell you why because they are scared to death ,its much easier for them to instead talk about the corruption of a trafic police officer.This is the problem with our society, we are reluctant take on the most evil and the most horrible because the most evil and the most horrible in our society is often the most powerful…so we find comfort in going after the weak.
okay now i wached your programme marvi. you are an awesome speaker no doubt, but i think that you can be a little too critical to the government sometimes. your approach as you have already said is changing that you will inshallah provide solutions instead of criticism.thats nice of you.
marvi i was an ardent suporter of your government before you were even there. i think well as it was showed that the macro economic stabilty was brought in but this being a private forum you should realize that it was all because of the massive 65 billion dollars pumped into the economy by the foreginers …you just cannot deny that..todays econoic situation is a result of the huge import bill imposed by the prreivous government due to an over allowance of imports which was previously termed as “the growth factor”. i think this governemnt but any government would have faced such a calamity.
thirdly it is about your party. i am sorry to say that the q league is highly unpopular in punjab atleast ans nawaz sharif is heavily popular beacuse of shahbaz sharif’s administrative abilities. and by heavily i mean literaly heavily, and that is to say that no single person have ii encountered whom would have said that shahbaz sharif or the nawaz league is much better than the q league and it would have been better of you to have jonied them for they being very honest. if it hasnt reached your ears then i would like to inform you that pervaiz elahi’s son moonas elahi has a very reputation of being a land grabber. no such reputation is from the nawaz league i ther is then do tell me.
Firstly, I would like to congratulate Marvi on starting a good practice…it may be a first drop of rain….
Although, I’m a Big anti-supporter of her party but it does not stop me from commending someone who is doing a good job.
I just wanted to highlight one point that Marvi & other readers may like to take up as an action item. Why do we leave everything on our leaders? What can we, at our own, do to to play our part in this Society?
Unfortunately, we Muslims leave everything on others (Allah or leaders) and want to get Jannah free of effort.
My suggestion is to look around ourselves and identify our area of influence, start providing support to whosoever we can. It could be as minimal as helping someone find way, cross road, keeping our houses and streets clean etc. or it could be sponsoring education for as many kids as we can afford, creating and managing our Social groups to positively influence our society.
Lets all play our part in Changing Pakistan and stop criticising others.
Reference your discussion on Sama TV. I fully agree with you. Please carry on. You are not alone like me many others are with you.
We should not allow anyone to spoil the peace of our beloved country.
aj he 1st time app ko ankahi programe main daikha.
acha lagha lakin aik baat samaj nain aai k app jo baat kar rahe theen who subjact say hat k kion the,i m not intrested in any kind of politics parties in pakistan, bcz in my mind all of that Kurssi ( chair ) k Ashiq hain .
well app ko daikha to yae lagha k app ko Politics main nain Modeling main hona chaiya tha bcz app ki photo gallery nai kafi impress kia.
Thanks and Allah Hafiz
hello Ms. Memon,
i checkd todays Ankahi with faisal n saw u exploding. u explained ver well, but i think there was one straight answer to the silly question that the girl kept on asking ie, how many schools have marvi memon established.
i wonder when can we start asking the right question. why we think that the only good thing is to build a school or a hospital. Though these things are important but an MNA should focus on policy making and strategic leadership to the nation.
u envision and speak very well, but speak of your own vision and role and not for your party. your expertise in areas of environment, law, women development are much needed at these times
best of luck
Saw your program with faisal, first up the website and the shadow parliment is a good thing keep it up.
The young lady in the program was a bit unreasonable I would give you that much. However some straight answers a bit of honesty touches people thats all.
I would like to be a part of the shadow parliment thing how do I proceed. I work in IBM Pakistan and have MSC Computer Science from LUMS so where do I start work??
Firstly, notice your presence in the last days of our President in Presidency. However, good to know yours sincere affiliation towards him when rest of the lot were performing ‘dunya dari’.
Secondly, I never meet President in my life, as for some believe with unseen or seen is alike, I, cherished him for his vision and patriotism for our Country. Further, I am neither Q leaugi (though have soft corner) nor I am affiliated with any political force on ground. I was and I am Musharaf supporter: “saviour of Pakistan”.
Lastly, for the reason of bonding stated above I will write you solutions, whenever intuited, with regards to the topics you mentioned on Talk show.
I feel pretty upset for having Zardari our president. I feel even worse for our nation to be so ignorant about his past. It’s an irony for this nation to have leaders like him. I won’t at all blame Zardari for what he has been doing. He tried his luck and won the jackpot. Good for him. He was the second richest of the country but now he will make sure he appears on the world ranking. Who will lose? The poor people who don’t even know what is going on?
The big question is if we deserve democracy?
Not at all. What kind of a nation are we? We are a nation with very weak and sensitive foundation. Our country is divided into provinces and all the people are divided into various tribes, cultures, religions and sects. Even our army has groups, Punjab regiment, Sindh regiment and Baloch regiment. Each group is proud of itself and hates the others. Recently the discussion of changing the name of NWFP was going on. Come on! Give me a break. Name is not going to make a difference until you wash their brains. Class difference is another big issue. Until we get rid of this hatred by having only one platform, we can never be one and a good nation.
Now what is the solution?
Of course its not democracy. There is a dire requirement of having a bloody revolution. It could be a tough martial law by a tough general like Hitler. Other than it there is no hope for this country. God be with us.
This is a reply i received from…. Sajjad Riaz

Working for a Safer Pakistan
As an Interior Minister I would work 24 hours a day to make Pakistan a safer place. As I live in the UK I would use the knowledge I have of the policing standards of the UK and how the UK has been able to make sure one law exists from one corner of the UK to the other. I would be focusing on making POLICE the most powerful, respectful, and fearful and ROABDAR.A stronger police throughout Pakistan will restore the confidence of ordinary Pakistanis and they will start abiding by the law and respect the police.
So as a free Justice Systems is important for a strong police force as both work parallel together a free judiciary is very important. But I will focus on Police reforms and a strong police will help the judiciary strengthen itself.
I will not go into too much detail as I will need more time and in depth research. But just to outline the main points for you Marvi I will as interior minister take the following steps:
• Call a high rank meeting with all the police chiefs from all provinces and major cities such as Lahore, Islamabad Karachi and others.
• I will asses the situation of the basic problems at lower level policing, I will request reports on the problems the police face and the lack of the resources. After meeting with all the concerned I will ask for an action plan from them on the improvements we need to make and than suggest my improvements.
Firstly I will request the federal government for a huge increase in the police budget without this we cannot go anywhere.
Major Changes which I would be starting for the POLICE:
• CCTV Cameras to be installed in all major towns and slowly all over Pakistan
• Fingerprint Machines to be kept at all major police stations
• First of all massive pay increase in all ranks all over Pakistan
• Equipped them with advance weaponry
• Better and faster vehicles, get rid of all pick-ups which are not safe
• Less police in police stations more patrolling on the streets
• Latest wireless sets and police stations equipped with computers and finger print taking machines.
• Recruit more police
• We need re-training of police in terms of their educational training:
• To improve their professionalism
• To teach them the basic skills they can use in their day to day duties like using fire extinguishers, working closer with communities, friendly attitude, speaking manners
• Enough Police available to provide security to people on their doorsteps
Police needs reforming, pay increase and benefit increase, new equipment in terms of weapons and cars will motivate them together with their re-training to be more professional and more educated.
Once a strong police force is in place a lot of local level problems and even terrorism can be kept a close eye on. Police need to be professional in identifying the problems and need to be capable in taking their own initiatives and implementing their own security plans.
Controlling Al-Qaeda and Western Border
Immediately without any delay we need to:
• Send more army on the western border to an extent that the border with Afghanistan is sealed to an extent that is possible, seal the border and don’t worry about any criticism from the Mullahs. You can’t target Taliban when they can easily cross over the border and come back and regroup gain so SEAL THE BORDER COMPLETELY.
• The army needs to spread out in FATA specially places like SWAT, talk to terrorists if they give up than fine, but if they don’t than go after them relentlessly without giving them more deadlines and until they are wiped out. NO COMPROMISE ON THIS.
• Spread the army on the borders of the settled areas and the FATA region, check the inflow and outflow in each area.
Maddrassahs and Mosques
• We should not hesitate, with the help of peaceful citizens start closing down maddrassah’s who only teach the QURAN as teaching only the Quran is radicalising young people and they can easily be turned into suicide bombers.
• So any mosque or any madrassah’s which spreads hatred against anyone and any madrassah’s which only teaches the QURAN warn it and if they don’t comply than close it. NO COMPROMISE.
VIP & GUN CULTURE
• No VIP movement in any town including ISLAMABAD, it has to stop
• No one displaying a gun in public. NO ONE MEANS NO ONE. Gun only allowed if it is licensed and the person has it for self-protection. Even for self-protection it needs to be hidden under the jacket or waist coat or shirt or blazer BUT STRICTLY NO DISPLAY OF WEAPONS IN ALL PAKISTAN EVEN THE TRIBAL AREA.
Above is just an outline to show you, it requires more time to explain in detail but it’s an outline and it will work. If I ever enter Pakistani politics than I will work my way to the Interior Ministry as I would love that challenge. I live in the UK and the normal security guards here have more training and professionalism and danger awareness than the Pakistani police.
@ Marevi Please Give us your Important Views in Recent Zardari Scandle? What is your Point of you as Political Party of 80 Million Voters.
Sarah Palin Meets Horny Pakistan President Zardari
Zardari’s recent meeting with Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin and Candidate of Vice President got good attention in international media due to Zardari’s expressions and comments he made during his short meeting.
Zardari then called her “gorgeous” and said: “Now I know why the whole of America is crazy about you.”
“You are so nice,” Palin said, smiling. “Thank you.”
A handler from Zardari’s entourage then told the two politicians to keep shaking hands for the cameras.
“If he’s insisting, I might hug,” Zardari said. Palin smiled politely in response
Notice that Sarah Palin’s demeanor and mannerism is so professional and firm. To Zardari’s “gorgeous” comment she replied with a customary, “so nice of you” remark and ideally speaking that should have been the end of the light-heartedness of Mr President’s flirtation. But no! He chooses to add another stupid remark, “Now I know why the whole of America is crazy about you”, which Sarah Palin brushes aside with a slight movement of her hand, contaminating, “Oh come on!.” But Mr President is not to be embarrassed yet and so he continues, “If he’s insisting, I might hug”. It cannot be more shameless and filthy. Zardari’s tone of voice, his eagerness to appease Sarah, his conduct is akin to the behavior of cheap, uneducated, perverted people, let alone being the president of an Islamic country. He is utter shame and a disgrace. I personally cannot bring myself to watch the video again out of an absolute sense of shame at having such a person as our president.
“Watch Sarah’s reaction on Zardari comments. She suggests ‘JA OO YAKKA’”
Awful display of manners by Mr.Zardari at the international stage when he met with Sarah Palin, his language was also cheap and disgraceful.
Remember Mushraf Last Word on His Last Address to the Nation “Pakistan Ka Khuda he Hafiz”
Marvi, Good to hear that you have website, at least someone could write to you.
I am a proud Pakistani who is ashamed of its politicians. Its them who has brought bad name to our country. Its amazing how people like you could think and work for people like Shujaat, Sharifs, and Zardari’s – may be hoping that one day things will change. Marvi, to bring change it needs courage which our politicians doesn’t have they all are bunch of thugs and thieves. When I say that, I talk about the majority not the exceptions. You talk about the change, what have you done to bring that change within your party. Mushahid, you think he is any better. He speaks well but you know he is another hypocrite. It makes me puke when I see all of them talk or things they do when they visit abroad. (Recent example of Zardari in America – Flirting with Ms. Palin as if he was in a Bar or a Pub). Unfortunately our pseudo intellectuals who doesn’t have any mannerism or etiquettes to represent this country.
It makes me sick to my stomach when I see people like you try to defend military rule, being a lay man even I know that dictatorship is not a solution for any progressive country.
I don’t see any sign of things getting better, things will be worse to get better but I am hopeful that one day all these B——- will be brought to justice. Ms. Memon you were in a party which is not any better but I am hopeful that one day people like you will form one party and will join hands under one umbrella and try to work for the prosperous Pakistan i.e. if we get that chance.
salam marvi!
i am from St Joseph college.
i really like the way u addressed……..
ya n i feel very proud that my country really have the people like u who are actually working for the progress.
yes i do believe that there is no nation perfect we have to make it.
the problem i think which we really have is that the minds of our country’s people have changed now they have stop thinking for their own nation , they only think ab8 their own life…….
n i think the solution is that we need people like u to awake the whole nation.
and I myself , try my best to awake the people
as I could beside my studies.
MAY ALLAH BLESS U
I want to say thank for what u are doing for my pakistan
LONG LIVE OUR NATION
LONG LIVE OUR NATIOM
ONLY HOPE, ONLY HOPE,
AND JUST THE PRAYERS.

salam,
Its good to see the young blood coming to the service of mankind. In supporting Musharaf, I would say that he is tainted with the innocent blood of the Jamia Hafsa martyrs, the Balochs and the Tribals. Because of him, we have literally lost Kashmir in the UN. It would have cost us less had America attacked us than supporting it and the miseries we are going thru nowadays because of his doings, every body knows that.
Any way, keep up the good work and wish u good luck.
Salam, you are doing a great job in running this blog.
I have read views of several writers on the Lal Masjid issue. It is ironic that on the one hand we talk of fighting terrorism and on the other hand, when foreigners (terrorists) get killed in the operation, we start condeming our government no holes barred. Those writers who are complaining of the excesses must know that their veiws are tainted by the ever blackmailing and revenue hungry media. People must remember that news is not what is correct, but news is what sells. Our media (specific channels) made millions on this and many other issues because it is their business!
Let me ask those saying that innocent civilians (women and children) were killed in the Lal Masjid operation in hundreds: WHERE ARE THEIR FAMILIES???? WHY ARE THEY NOT PROTESTING????
In a country, when even Munnu Bheel was protesting for the missing people of his family it was taken as if President Musharraf had done it, since it was fashion those days. There could have been many others like him. But conspicuous by their absence are the families whose so called daughters, sons were killed in the operation!!!!
GIMME A BREAK. Please start thinking logically without having hatred or bias towards anyone. LET THE FACTS DICTATE THE COURSE OF HISTORY and not misplaced priorities.
As for those who say that President Musharraf is a dictator, they must have voted for either of the two dynasties. One being led by a 20-year old Oxford student who is barely eligible to vote, and the other by two brothers, one son-in-law and one samdhi, who have naturally made it into their personal fiefdom.
Thats democracy!!!!
DEAR MARVI MEMON and other friends in the media,
There is something seriously wrong with Geo TV, AAj TV and some other channels. – either they are too obsessed with the terrorists or are funded by someone or are themselves misguided. I think it is high time the media sets it priorities right. Stop brain washing the people of Pakistan and stop siding with the terrorists and enemies of Pakistan.
Geo and some channels were the one who was instrumental in removing our last President Pervez Musharraf. They are responsible for creating political uncertainty in the country by bringing the lawyers and judges on the streets; they are responsible for interviewing stupid ex service men and stupid politicians mainly from the pml-n which has created a bad image of Pakistan around the world.
It is high time these channels stop their propaganda in favor of the extremists and terrorists and stop calling them- our people, innocent people and the war against the terrorists as America’s war. This is OUR WAR, THESE PEOPLE ARE TERRORISTS AND NOT INNOCENT PEOPLE; THEY ARE ENEMIES OF PAKISTAN AND NOT MUSLIMS.
The media can play a very important role in removing this misconception from the minds of the citizens by showing the truth and stop supporting these terrorists. Our religion is a religion of tolerance, peace and justice. So let us become clear about:-
1. THIS WAR IS OUR WAR.
2. THESE EXTRIMISTS AND TERRORISTS ARE NOT FRIENDS OF PAKISTAN OR OF ISLAM.
3. THE MEDIA SHOULD CONDEMN THE INMATES OF THE LAL MASJID AND NOT SIDE WITH THEM. YOU CANNOT NEGOTIATE WITH ARMED PEOPLE AND NO ONE CAN BE ALLOWED TO DICTATE THEIR INTERPRETAION OF ISLAM ON OTHERS.
I urge people like Hamid Mir to please realize the gravity of the situation and may good sense prevail. I also urge him to stoop interviewing fools like ansar abbasi and some ex service men whose one leg is in the grave and one outside, please stop the rapping of the judge’s issue which is finished and sorted out.
There is a big conspiracy against Pakistan, this conspiracy is being funded by someone and political parties like pml-n, some media, and some judges, some ex service men are playing in their hands. May be the intentions of Hamid Mir are good but he is being misguided. Anchors of bolta Pakistan on AAj tv are also behaving in a very irresponsible manner, dr. aamir liaquat- a religious scholar who has nothing to do with politics is mixing religion with politics and misguiding people.
I salute people like Lucman, faisal Qureshi, jasmine manzoor, rana mubashir, kamran khan. PJ MIR etc who have a better understanding of the problem and are looking for better solutions.
I hate politicians like Qusi hussain and Imran khan. They are enemies of Pakistan. They cannot see any good in anything and only want to criticize. They always talk in favor of the inmates of the lal masjid and terrorists.
FINALLY A LAST REQUEST TO GEO TV- STOP THIS PLAYING WITH FIRE, U R RISKING THE LIVES OF THE CITIZENS OF PAKISTAN FOR PERSONAL BENEFITS OR POLITICAL GAINS. THINK OF PAKSITAN AND TRY TO SAVE PAKSITAN.
MAY ALMIGHTY ALLAH SAVE OUR COUNTRY FROM THE MENACE OF TERRORISTS AND EXTRIMISTS AND PUT BACK PAKSITAN ON THE ROAD TO PEACE, STABILITY, GROWTH, SECURITY AND PROSPERITY. AMEEN.
WHAT R THE SOLUTIONS-
1. GOOD, CHEAP AND UNIFORM EDUCATION IN ENGLISH MEDIUM THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.
2. FIGHT WITH FULL FORCE AGAINST THE EXTRIMISTS, TERRORISTS AND INTOLERENT PEOPLE.
3. PEACE TREATY WITH ALL THE PEACEFUL FORCES IN NWFP AND TAKING THEM INTO CONFIDENCE, PUTTING THE ONUS OF PEACE ON THEM AND IMPLEMENTING DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITIES ON A WAR FOOTING.
4. ACCELERATE THE PRIVATISATION PROCESS AND ENCOURAGE AND GIVE FULL CONFIDENCE TO THE FOREIGN INVESTORS TO START THEIR INDUSTRIES IN PAKISTAN.
5. DISCUSS ALL THE ISSUES IN THE PARLIAMENT AND DEVELOP CONCENSUS.
ENOUGH TO START WITH!!
Well I agree with you there Karim.Although we can’t give up on the people of Pakistan.Education is the key here…a more educated Pakistan won’t vote for crooks.But even more important than that is the economy,its unfortunate that Musharraf made some strategic blunders which led to politicial turmoil and in turn hurt the economy in Pakistan…otherwise things would have stayed calm and Pakistan would have achieved a lot ecnomically in years to come.The problem with going after the bad people in our politics like Zardari and others is that it can de-stabilize the country and further hurt an already weak economy.. thats why Musharraf was perhaps reluctant to taken them on and chose to resign.And I am sure General Kiani would also let these people do their job rather than worry about their character at this time.
Msg that came on my gmail that I am posting here. Lets start using this vs gmail so that everyone can participate in discussion…

Yes Ma’am. It will be an honor to join the shadow cabinet.
I would like to state that the policies and upgrades propsed by Mr Sajjad Raza in a letter you posted on your blog are amazing. I just wish this proposition is accepted as is. It is the need of the hour and enough is enough, they have been warned many a times and since they’re retaliating like this killing innocent civilians who have nothing to do with this war, its time that some army action is taken. a severe one this time.
Empowering and educating the police is a very very good idea. You’ll also have to make sure that they don’t abuse their powers. They need to understand that with power comes great responsibility. Ensuring that they do this with the police of every city of pakistan starting with isb ofcourse. Even better if they launch this training program simultaneously in all major cities like karachi, lahore, isb, peshawar & quetta and then send these newly trained officers to train other policemen in their regions and provinces.
I would also like to see some action against corruption and ever increasing inflation & poverty in our country. You have a lot of challenges but you have our support! Please keep up the GREAT work Ma’am!
Last but not the least, I did not knew we had such great leaders in our country. I would like to see you as a foreign minister or even president some day as we need to prove to the world that Benazir was not the only woman leader we had! We have MARVI too
Salamzz….I M ZeenIa mUsHraf fRom SenT JosePh’s COllege I Am a FiRsT YeAr STudent…U have COme To Our cOllege Today I LiSteN To YoUr SPeecH and I m vErY mUch ImPressEd By U AnD By Ur mIssIonS…WhEN I Saw tEars In Ur EyEs M AlSo CrYing…..InShallah I M nOt That mUch MatuRe…But I can UnDersTand The pRobLems of Our country.. InsHallah I will TrY tO serve my countrY in The BesT way….U are a very nice personality…i cant exprees my feelingss in words….i think….that in our countryy….there is some of poeople like u who love the country….just continue ur mission we all are with u…..
marivi my solution to the ongoing religious extremism is that we have to move against the war against these militants. they will keep on pouring in and it will be a war that will span years from now. keep that in mind that all other countries facing these insurgency donot stop but get these again and again and we have to stop this war rite now because its effects have already starting to pour in our cities. protest against these war tactics. the tribal areas were never under our control and will never be . even if the militants have taken control of the tribal areasthen it is the problem of the tribals themselves. they can deal with them on their ownselves. leave them alone.
please protest agianst thse war tactics. or we will be called a failed state again. zardari sahib is doing this to get american dollars for the sake of pakistani life. are we people left to die while our politicians sit there to make these stupid decisions.
Madam, I think you should join Pakistan’s People’s Party thats all I wanted to say, I hope you would give it a thought, a person whos as qualified and talented as you wil fit in PPP. I believe Q league is not a party but it is a group of traitors ( I hope you would not mind that) and this group will surely not exsist in the next few years inshallah =)
..hey, haven’t seen any of your program, yet, but hard about you, say it a word of mouth..well..
so what are your new projects? and what is new these days??
salam
ma,am
Madam I want to ask one question in your shadow ministry which ministry solve the poverty problem & I have one suggestion for u in any talk show u should listen other argue completely and then give to answer (try to complete your answer in soft tone & minimum words).
My philosophy is move slow but continues. You r vary fast you can continue your momentum?
I want to ask to Miss Marvi Memon please discuss about that, How can we safe a muslim nation? How Can we Protect our Country our nation our Economy our people ?
I think the middle class men dont have a time to think about that things, Coz they are only thinking about thier daily batch, Cloths and house
Which things are going to be a dream for them….?
how can they protest ?
this time is a bad time for us
and they are striping a cloths of pakistanis
snatching a batch from pakistanis
killing the innocent people
and want to destroy pakistanis economy
which is going down day by day
discribe us, do we strugge for batch Clocths House ? Do we protest againts our govt and America ? Or do nothing and waiting for own time comes to death ?
A very important point I want to make here to all Musharraf and Marvi supporters out there as I am one of you also.You won’t achieve much unless you change the mindset or the psyche of the people in this country.A lot of what we are talking about here like police revamping,developmental work etc did happen under Musharraf’s era…infact Musharraf’s era was the most golden in the history of Pakistan in terms of economic development and yet very few people came out to support him in the end. I remember the time when things were going right for him and people were saying ,oh the the politics of Sharifs and Bhuttos is over and people are on his side now,I knew it even then that they were wrong because Musharraf is so different than how an average Pakistani voter is…even if our reserves had touched 50 billion dollars they still would have found a way to to dislike him.
What we need is a change in the behavior of our people who over and over again have voted for the wrong people in elections.A fundamental and a long lasting change in our behavior can only come about through education and awareness.We need to set up schools in villages and poor areas of Pakistan where not only childeren ,but also adults are given the same education that our childeren receive in posh areas.And it should be a philosophical change in the minds of the people that we should be after rather than just a change in knoweledge.may be they need to know who Aristotle was and what Immanuel Kant was thinking.They need to know about the history of capitalism,socialism and all religions of the wrold including our own.They need to be exposed to differet ideas and concepts of the world.They need to be taught what Feudalism is and how it has hurt those living in the villages.They need to know how corruption and mis-management of our politicians has hurt our economy.They need to learn why certain countries of the world are ahead of us economically and socially,what have they done that we have’nt.
This education and awareness campaign has to be spread like a religion to all corners of Pakistan because it is only through this that we can change the mindset of an average Pakistani and change Pakistan in return.
i m a banker,i happen to watch a tele prog on sama T.V in which you were invited and i consider you a good addition in Pakistani politics as we need young,energetic and educated polititions
i wan to draw your attention towards a serious issue regarding recognition of Isreal and i think you are the right person to present it in the parliment
Govt of Pakistan has removed one of the imp clause in L.C opening(for Int trade)i.e “shipment tarnsshipment through Isreali ship/port is prohabited”,would we consider it a step towards recognition of Isreal, as this clause was a part of every L.C since ever Int trade has been started in Pakistan(senior Bankers know)
regards and best wishes
On foreign policy a message on my gmail
—————————-
I want to give suggestions that in my view can affect Pakistan’s foreign policy in a positive way.
1.There is a need to shrink the quantity of political appointees in the Foreign Service. Considering the peculiar situation Pakistan finds itself in we cannot afford to have any doubt in the professional abilities of our diplomats. It will also be wise to restrict whatever political appointees we will have left to less significant capitals around the world instead of the most important ones.
2.Ideally foreign affairs and defense ministries chalk out their respective strategies regarding foreign policy relationg to sovereignty and security issues, these policies are debated over by the ministries among each other and final draft of proposals is submitted to Executive by the Foreign minister for approval. Sadly I don’t see this happening. Defense minister should represent consensus view of all departments under his ministry including the military, instead Gen. Kayani and Ahmed Mukhtar have been found to be poles apart in their statements regarding U.S. attacks. The lack of consensus needs to be addressed and defense minister should be quick to come up with consensus proposals of all departments under him, then only should these proposals be debated upon with the foreign ministry.
3.There are two major theoretical paradigms and approaches in the international system, these are realist and complex interdependence. Realist paradigm broadly says that the primary goal of a state is of survival. Security and sovereignty is the basic point of contention, it has some famous advocates like Henry Kissinger. Complex interdependence on the other hand says that as the international systems have evolved there are economic and social issues other than just security that need to be addressed which can only be done by collective effort and will of the states involved. This paradigm according to many also sees sovereignty and its violation in a more lenient manner than realist paradigm, example of functioning complex interdependence is European Union. Pakistan needs to be able to deal with different countries using the suitable approach depending on bilateral relations, ground realities and its self interest. For example Pakistan should pursue complex interdependence with countries like China and Saudi Arabia considering these countries’ long lasting strong relationships with Pakistan. Unfortunately this policy is being applied to the U.S. Pakistan government should be wise enough to adopt a policy towards U.S. that is a middle ground between realist and complex interdependence. Government should promote economic ties with U.S and be its ally in war against terror as this stance will work in interest of Pakistan , but it should be strong enough to adopt realist approach of keeping its security and sovereignty foremost. It should be understood that U.S. is not taking us along as its ally because of some sympathy that it has for us but for the simple purpose of achieving its self interest as would have been done by any other state in its place and it is not likely to abandon us if we sand up straight while negotiating.
4.Last but not the least, parliament should be one of the significant determinants of foreign policy as is the case in legitimate democracies.
well mr sajjad,
you dont seem to have a reception mode for anything that goes against musharraf.. dont be too blind in his love…i wont argue about his popularity in armed forces with you..bcos all you talk about is wishfull thinking and your own desires…whereas i am a part of the armed forces..so you can go around telling people how popular that creep is in army..but the fact remains..its my word against yours…by the way if he was so popular why did the army not rescue him out of the muck that man got himself into…ever bothered your brain about this…no i guess..because you are love stricken..
your musharraf was a man with no ethics…how can you justify his writing a book while still wearing the uniform…earning millions from simon and shusters publishing house..he said i would spend this money for poors..haha i guess he was the poorest of them all…this is what we call poor ethical sense…doing what you tell your sub ordinates not to do..hypocrate…greedy and selfish…
when did i say i approve of zardari…i hate his guts more than musharraf but why do you keep forgetting who is responsible for his ascent to presidency, sorry brother it is musharraf…he wanted ppp and benazir’s help to bail him out of the fiasco he had created by firing the judges..he knew that marvi’s party would be on he wrong side of the election resultss..thats why he ran all the way to dubai to meet benazir and ppp stalwarts…so you see he brought t his monster for his own rescue , but they turned the tables on him…this proves again that he (musharraf) is a liar , selfish and a manipulator..an d fell in his own trap..this man really had the nerve to think we would accept his lollypop of reconciliation..creep called benazir and nawaz sharif criminals and then went all the way to meet her…even robert mugabe has better ethics..
i completley support your point of view about the terrorists…we need to eliminate them…but we have to differentiate between tribals and terrorists…if we continue to be trigger happy with poor aim we would continue to turn a lot of young tribals into terrorists…i have been engaged with the operations since 2003 and there was no problem in fata except south waziristan..now the entire region has insurgencies…waziristans, bajaur, mohmand,swat,aurakzai and dir….we have to admit that there has been a lot of collateral damage….i only say that if dr afia is involved in terrorism then we must punish her ourselves..go ahead hang her but please dont hand them to us…and if you think thats not true then read your beloveds book in he line of fire(nannay ke karnamay)he himself accepts that he handed over people an d earned money…dont make this nation “impotent”.
musharraf’s foreign minister kasuri has himself admitted that they allowed drones to fly in pakistan and target people…now whats your take on this…
when you accuse zardari of indecent behaviour when he flirts with sarah palin then you must remember that musharraf also danced infront of a gathering of hundreds of civil servants…he enjoyed seeing his chairman CBR doing a mujra for him…thats also indecent…
i am sick of listening to all your hue and cry about economical progress..i am a soldier but still i wont accept all this crap….what economy even before this pathetic government had taken over, the flour crsis had set in, electricity shortage was there, petrol prices started to rise…shaukat aziz was a liar much like his mentor…where is he?made billions and escaped i guess..even ur musharaf said before he resigned that i have asked shaukat aziz o come back and defend his actions but he has not replied..wake up mr sajjad…please call spade a spade…
mr ali sid,
i never said i am very fond of imran khan..infact i think he is really stupid to hang out with qazi and jamat-e-islami…all i said was give the man some cr e d it for his achievements…yeah he may have been a playboy..but if you disapprove of that then you should be disapproving of musharraf as well..the old slut was a self styled playboy as well(remember his dancing infront of hundreds and all the stories of his drinking antics)….the fact remians that imran is not corrupt…his leadership qualities are accepted even by his bitter rivals, the man has given this country a premium cancer hospital….ifyou can have a general as a leader then you might as well try a cricketer also…the difference b etween the two is that your general led a campaign (kargil) and lost..his campaign is called the strategic blunder…but imran fought from behind and won his campaign(world up 1992)…so on one hand you have a looser and on the other a winner…aint no difficult to choose between the two for me..what about you?…if cricket diplomacy is used for resolving disputes at summit level then who could be better than imran to lead…if you can bear to see your mushy accomodating a corrupt man like zardari then have some patience for imran as well…yes he needs to reconsider his affliations with qazi but still the man has a clean chit….stop supporting musharraf please…not a single man came out on strees for him…this shows how popular he was…this country needs to go back to its roots…dont hand it over to liberal fascists like musharraf, salman taseer and co….this country was meant to be a modern islamic state not a secular state..we have no place for both taliban and liberal fascists….
When well-known and well-established criminals like these hide their crimes against humanity in the wraps of democracy, it doesn’t make them innocent or their deed benevolent. It simply pushes the world closer to more instability and turmoil because it provides an opportunity for perpetuating lies and deception and intensifying their negative consequence. Here is a quick example of how victims of their crimes int he anme of democracy are not even allowed to set their foot on the US soil: US visa urged for Mrs Janjua . On the other end of the spectrum, if would be naive to assume that Zardari’s crimes are while collar corruption crimes. They are not. While Bank accounts of Zardari and Bhutto-like criminals swell, thousands upon thousands die as a result of their crimes.
For that, Washington must finally persuade Pakistan’s leaders that this is not just America’s fight but essential to their own security and survival as a democracy. And Pakistan’s leaders must persuade their citizens
First of all well done for not liking ZARDAR AND NAWAZ, secondly I agree with you that to a certain extent it was a blunder to let NAWAZ and ZARDARI back in the country and Musharraf has paid the price for. That’s where I believe Musharraf wasn’t a dictator who hanged all his opponents but was too soft on them and also if your going to promote democracy and the people of the two big parties PML-N and PPP are crying and protesting that let our leaders come back to their country otherwise we’ll start destabilising everything and boycott the elections, than in the situation MUSHARRAF had to make some decisions..But anyway let’s say that Musharraf got that wrong and he should not have done NRO..
You say the army didn’t like MUSHARRAF, now if the army did not like Musharraf than:
1. WHY DID IT SUPPORT HIM TO OVERTHROW NAWAZ SHARIF IN 1999?
2. WHY DID HELP HIM RIG THE ELECTION IN 2002(WELL IF THEY WERE RIGGED)
3. WHY DID THEY LET HIM MAKE ALL THE CHANGES IN GOVERNMENT AND THE ARMED FORCES
4 .WHY DID THEY SUPPORT HIM IN THE OPERATIONS IN BALUCHISTAN (THE OPEARTION THEY PRAISED ON 6TH SEPTEMBER)
5 .WHY DID THEY SUPPORT HIS DECISION TO SEND FORCES IN FATA
6. WHY DID THEY NOT FORCED HIM TO RESIGN WHEN HE WENT AGINST HIS DECISION TO TAKE HIS UNIFROM OFF
7. WHY DID THEY SUPPORT HIM IN CALLING IFTIKHAR CHOUDHRY TO THE ARMY HOUSE AND SLAPPING HIM
8. WHY DID THEY HELP HIM IN SUPPORTING THE LAL MASJID OPERATION
9 .WHY DID THEY HELP IN IMPLEMENTING EMERGENCY RULE
10 .WHY DID THEY NOT MAKE HIM RESIGN AFTER HIS PARTY LOST THE 18TH FEB ELECTIONS
11. WHY DID THEY GIVE HIM GUARD OF HONUR AFTER HE RESIGNED
12. WHY ON EARTH DID THEY LET HIM STAY IN THE ARMY HOUSE WHEN AT PRESENT HIS A NOBODY
13. WHY DON’T THEY BRING HIM TO COURT FOR THE CRIMES HE COMMITTED
14. WHY DO THEY STILL PROVIDE HIM WITH SECURITY AND LET HIM DO WHAT HE WANTS
Now theirs a few things:
Sajjad Thinks:
I think they let all the above happen because they were with him and they liked his policy, I think our army is not that dumn and coward that they whole army will be on one side and MUSHARRAF alone and still they listen to this guy for 9 years, and what I think is reality and the truth
Sheharyar’s (TOY SOLDIER) Thinking:
Now if you think the army hated him and still followed his above points for 9 years than the ARMY IS A COWARD BUNCH OF INDIVIDUALS(SPECIALLY U), THEY ARE HYPOCRITES, THEY ARE TOTALLY DUMMIES(LESS THAN U) THAT THEY WORKED ON THE ORDERS OF ONE MAN(MUSHARRAF) FOR 9 YEARS AND MORE…ACCORDING TO U THEY ARMY WHICH HAS 6 LAKH JAWANS HATED ONE MAN MUSHARRAF BUT STILL FOLLOWED HIS POLICY AND ORDERS FOR 9 YEARS…U HAVE REALLY LOST UR SENCES AND TOY SOLDIERS LIKE U ARE GIVING BAD NAME TO THE WHOLE ARMY..
DUMMY SOLDIERS LIKE YOU HAVE NO SAY IN THE ARMY, YOU’RE ON THE LOWER LEVEL WHO ARE USELESS, THEY CANT RAISE ANY ISSUES WHICH THEY DON’T LIKE INFRONT OF A GENERAL BUT INSTEAD WHILE THE REST OF THE ARMY IS BUSY FIGHTING IN WAZIRISTAN, DESERTERS LIKE U COME ON THE INTERNET AND TALK BULLSHIT…HAHAHA
SHEHARYAR WAKE UP DON’T BE A TOY SOLDIER ALL UR LIFE………PEOPLE LIKE U R THE WORSE WHO FOLLOW ORDERS FOR 9 YEARS AND THAN TALK AGAINST THE SAME ORDERS THEY FOLLOW FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES…..
I accept Musharraf handed over people to the US AND OTHER COUNTRIES he accepts it and i accept it, we also say that they were foreign nationals not Pakistanis, even AFIA is American national not Pakistan, but i would say its a mistake to give her over IF they did….
MUSHARRAF did not alone go and pick up a person and handover to the US the ISI done it the ARMY knows about it, so once again the ARMY, ISI are inolved togather with MUSHARRAF…But it was good to give away people not Pakistani nationals who were committing crimes in Pakistan and if we excahnged them for money than FINE,we’re a poor country why should we suffer from terrorists, spend money catching them and than hand them over for free..NO WAY..
You say you’re sick and tired of the economy success of MUSHARRAF…..
Dummy soldiers who don’t understand their army how the hell you will understand economy, go make tea for some general, understanding economy is not for you………
Probably you don’t know that SHAUKAT AZIZ left in November 2007, other than a few mismanagement issues like SECURING THE WHEAT SUPPLY WHICH ONLY HAPPENED IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS and the other issue of ELECTRICITY which I can give a lot of arguments for but will not as foot soldiers like you are called KHALI DAMAAGH will not understand……
ARE YOU BLIND TO SEE THAT AFTER SHAUKAT AZIZ LEFT IT’S NOW THAT:
STOCK EXCHANGES IS CRASHING, since this year 2008 until now it has come down from 17,000 points to 9000, do your research, don’t TALK SHIT
DURING SHAUKAT AZIZ AND MUSHARRAF PEOPLE WERE BRING MONEY INTO THE COUNTRY, BUT NOW THEIR WITHDRAWING
RESERVES HAVE FALLEN FROM 17BN TO 10BN (U THINK SHAULAT AZIZ AND MUSHARRAF IS TAKING IT AWAY, U R DUMN)
RUPEE STAYED AT 60 RUPEES to the dollar for the last 5 years but in the last 8 months it has weakened to 77 RUPEES TO EACH DOLLAR
SERIOUSLY ARE U TOO BLIND TO SEE THIS, IN THE ARMY DID U GET HIT BY A BULLET TO UR HEAD OR SOMETHING………..
People of Pakistan are uneducated which includes you, they don’t like change, they want to stay in the same old system which they now have after voting for it in the Feb 18th Elections..People don’t understand GDP, STOCK EXCHANGE, FOREIGN EXCHANGE RESERVES that’s why they don’t realise how much the economy improved under SHAUKAT AZIZ, it came from a bankrupt economy in 1999 to a stable and growing economy when SHAUKAT AZIZ LEFT IN NOVEMBER 2007 mistakes are made which Shaukat Aziz coming from a place like CITI BANK had to come into PAKISTANS economy where 50 years of mismanagement and corruption had to be fixed in a small period of time..
PEOPLE LIKE U SHEHARYAR ARE TOO BLIND TO SEE THE CRISIS PAKISTAN FACES NOW SINCE THE ELECTIONS, THE ECONOMY IS WORSENING BECAUSE OF THE POLITICAL AND INCOMPETENCE OF THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SHAUKAT AZIZ, SLOWLY PEOPLE ARE REALISING AND WILL REALISE AND ONE DAY WILL HAVE TO CALL SHAUKAT AZIZ BACK WHEN PAKISTAN IS ON THE BRINK OF BANKRUPCY AGAIN….
THERE’S SOMETHINGS WHICH YOU CANT EXPLAIN TO DUMN TOY SOLDIERS LIKE SHEHARYAR AND ARMY DESERTER, BUT ONLY TIME WILL TELL HOW GOOD SHAUKAT AZIZ AND MUSHARRAF WERE, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE ALREADY CHANGING THEIR MINDS AND SOON THE REST ILLITERATES WILL AS WELL….
DUMMY AND HYPOCRITE SOLDIER SHEHARYAR toy soldier THIS IS A WEBSITE OF A MUSHARRAF SUPPORTER AND FOLLOWER AND MUSHARRAFS SUPPORTERS WRITE HERE AND GIVE SOLUTIONS…
SHEHARYAR IF UR IN THE ARMY GO AND FIGHT IN WAZIRISTAN STOP DESERTING, SITTING AT HOME AND TALKING RUBBISH, IF YOU ARE GOING TO TALK NONSENSE THAN I SUGGEST THAT U SHOULD JOIN UR NO HOPERS AND HYPOCRITES LIKE THE EX-SERVICEMEN SOCIETY THEY WILL BE HAPPY TO HEAR UR BULLSHIT……
SO SHEHARYAR THE DUMMY SOLDIER EX-SERVICEMEN(HYPOCRITES,MORONS,BULLSHITTERS,BARKING DOGS) ARE CALLING U, THEY NEED ALL THE USELESS PEOPLE AROUND PLEASE JOIN THEM AS WE DON’T NEED DIRT AND RUBBISH LIKE YOU ON THIS RESPECTFUL WEBSITE…
I’m a senior proofreader with a renowned software company in Karachi. Marvi, this is indeed heartening to see the young, educated people like you coming into politics and breaking the notion that politics is only the patrimony of dirty feudals. What’s more encouraging is that you’re a London School of Economics graduate. Having seen your articulation and outspokenness in various talk shows, I was compelled to browse your website, which is, to put it bluntly, unnecessarily long with quite a few typos and editing/proofreading errors. The other thing which has dreadfully inspired me is your innocent face, your lovely voice, and your eloquence tinged at times by the childlike attitude of not easily conforming to the other person’s ideas.
now seeing all these public comments i believe paki people are still in the process of blaming game.niether politicians nor the government or the so called minority of educated people in pakistan seem to look forward.we are still stuck in past.people will have to accept zardari as president which unfortunately has not been done.pakistan’s image outside is gettting worse day by day.
MEDIA-a form of communication lol
pakistani news channels -a form of critcism from both ends (government and oppostion)
we see the foreign channels like CNN,BBC and aljazeera who fully support their country in any means.however in pakistan news channels have always wanted a chance to criticize .
i have even heard and have got some evidence about some tv channel of pakistan who are american agents.
god knows well..
i would appreciate if u react on this comment and give me a response.also i appreciate for what u have done for foreign policies.
DONT U THINK THERE SHOULD BE A STRICT RULES & REGULATIONS FOR MEDIA BECAUSE PAKI PEOPLE DO NO DESERVE FREEDOM OR I THINK THEY DO NOT RESPECT PAKISTAN’S IMAGE THEY SEE THEIR BENIFITS
Shahryar give me a break ,Imran Khan’s insipiration in politics is Hamid Gul lol.Hamid Gul is a Jehadist who was actually working for AL-Qaeda before 9/11 and was the person who informed Bin Laden and co about a possible missile attack against them when Clinton chose to take them out.
Pakistan was meant to be a modern Islamic State yes and how modern is Imran Khan? who has defended every extremist in this country from Hamid Gul to Maulana Abdul Aziz.Did you know that the founder of this country Jinnah was a secular minded person who used to drink occasionally and was not too keen on getting too close with Mullahs of that time? ,just ask cowasjee whos dad was his friend.So if you want to insult Musharraf for drinking then you should go ahead and insult Jinnah too.
You mentioned Kargil and that we lost there ,well you may as well mention the other 2 wars, we did ‘t win there either so may be we should never have fought with India in any war.Winning a cricket match is not the same as winning in a war or in politics.what has Imran Khan achieved in politics?he has lost in all elections.
I do agree with you that accomdating PPP was a mistake by Musharraf,NRO was a mistake ,but it was not done so much for personal reasons by Musharraf if that was the case Musharraf would still be in power.The logic behind NRO was that there is a threat to the current set up of army and ISI from the Mullah brigade in pakistan and if the secular forces like PPP and MQM weaken politically then Mullahs will directly benefit from it…thats something that the current set up of the army led by General Kiani whos also secular minded can not afford.But I dis-agree with that on the ground that army should not be worried about democracy or democractic forces in Pakistan in the first place since politics and politicians in Pakistan have been more of a problem than a solution.
Thank you for your reply…yes i would like to help…in any field…you would feel that I could…I can bring together a few like minded people together who would also want to be a part of your action plans…i have no intention to join politics but would be interested in re-enforcing your ideas….and share some of ours…am more interested in action plan….its about time our country needs it…we can be your eyes and wings…..
Msg from Zohair with my response to him too – from gmail

Yesterday’s presidential debate showed out a clear divide in policy stance towards Pakistan. Mcain being more understandable of Pakistan’s problems than Obama (“gorgeous” Sarah Palin might have had something to doJ). To my knowledge Pres. Zardari has not had any meeting so far with democratic presidential or vice presidential candidate. I think it would have been wise on his part to have a meeting with Obama or atleast his running mate. He should have conveyed Pakistan’s reservations over Obama’s policy stance before he takes the big seat which seems to be the probable eventuality judging by the recent surveys. I don’t know whether they tried hard enough or not but its something that should have been done.
It Is a privilege to writing an email to you and I must congrats you for setting up an un presented history in our country as far as our politics is concerned by establishing a direct contact with the people of Pakistan through creating your own web site. This is something new and I must say very bold step too & I wish you all the best of luck in this regard. I am very hopeful that other politicians will take example and lead from you and they will also try to establish contact with the masses through web sites and emails.
Having said all this I would like to draw your kind attention towards the growing problem of traffic which is like other problems that our country is facing such as terrorism, water scarcity, high prices, pollution and unemployment to name a few growing into menace. I am quoting from internet source a story which appeared in the newspaper that, ” traffic jams in Karachi have claimed around 500 lives, in just two months, as ambulances could not find way to the city hospitals, due to choked roads” many more such stories can be quoted here. A study done by the World Resources Institute in 1996-1997 estimated that the economic penalty of traffic jams in large cities can exceed hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Not to be left unsaid, traffic jams are also linked to increased road rage and overall agitation/aggression/hypertension in societies, this also I quoted from internet.
The purpose of quoting these stories to you Ms is that we can pinpoint many problems to this menace such as overpopulation, mismanagement, road constructions, vendor encroachments, unlawful parking, frequent & illegal bus stops, sewage spills, lack of rain water drainage, security for VIPs, lack of civic sense etc. no doubt these problems creating or contributing to traffic problems but I want to highlight another problem which is not highlighted due to lack of awareness or because of some vested interest. Banking sector also playing its due share in aggravating this problem and they are directly involved in this menace. By introducing attractive car schemes all over the Pakistan some 7 to 8 years back and giving away vehicles on a cheap installments or on a on a very low interest rates at least initial phase of their scheme they opened the flood gates for the masses and apart from those who really needed vehicles for their personal use other took for commercial purposes i.e. rented out to hotels, guest houses, friends, relatives, NGOs etc. Needless to say that though govt and banks have started the scheme on a good note but like all other schemes people have missed the scheme to their personal motives such as to earn more profit rather then to use for their personal consumption. For this they got full support from banking staff especially from insurance department. Insurance department with the help of other bank staff, car owners, surveyors (they inspect the accidental cars) can declare partial accidental vehicles as” total loss” and later on they sell such vehicles on a profitable bases. Similar goes to theft vehicles as car owners in some cases longed false FIR regarding lost of their vehicles from places like parking, out side of the home, markets etc and again with the help insurance people and of course don’t forget police they get new car in replacement from the from same banks and earned profit by selling the theft car. In all this process banking staff especially insurance department gets handsome commission. And don’t forget who ever does this I meant customers they are professionals in nature ( such as upper class, industrialist, traders, landlords, running private businesses etc) and they do such tricks not with one bank but they do with other banks from where they already leased/financed their vehicles or they can. Salaried class normally does not involve in such crimes. I would say they commit crime and because of their ill motive we masses suffering in case traffic jams, pollution etc. This vicious cycle continues. What fact I am trying to establish here is that banking sector not only giving away new cars to its customers but they also involved in unhealthy practices which I just explained to you.
All I am trying to say is that banking sector is playing their due share in aggravating traffic problem and for this reason such schemes should be stopped immediately otherwise it will be too late. We do not need to go too far to find the example of such failure by looking at our neighboring country china. In the past China had tried this failed experiment by allowing its commercial banks to give vehicles to customers and later on when it can not sustained the traffic pressure which aggravated rapidly especially after introducing this scheme. The govt of that time had to abandon this scheme. The bottom line is that banking sector contributing little like empowering customers to buy vehicles on leased or finance basis but aggravating the situation more. Such schemes should not be allowed especially at social cost so it should be stopped at once. Otherwise if that was any good for society as a whole we would have found such examples In Europe or in USA. With no planning in place, no mass transit system in sight, there is little hope of solution in the near future.
I hope you will take up this issue too and will highlight in appropriate forums especially in parliament.
In the end I would like to take the opportunity and would like to tell you that I have great passion and interest in research especially related to social problems such as poverty, population, education, literacy etc. Ms if you have any such projects and you think I can contribute something I would be more than happy to contribute in such projects. At the moment I am here in Saudi Arabia and if some how you think I can be part of any your on going project I can come back to Pakistan and for the time I can work without any salary. I always love to live and serve my country but I could not get a decent job back in Pakistan therefore I had to come Saudi Arabia.
With this I am attaching my CV for your consideration.
I hope you will not mind my long email and I would really appreciate if you answer my email privately meant answer me on my this email I would be extremely thankful to you.
Thanks for you time and consideration.
Shoaib from Saudi Arabia.

Salaam Marvi,
I just wanted to send you this short note to say thank you very much for your prompt and rapid response. And yes I do not mind if you put my email onto your website. And I will wait for your material on URBAN PLANNING. If I can do anything for you please feel free and let me know.
Could you please comment on the above story and RM?
Rehman Malik Nominated for Peace Award
Immediately After Rehman Malik failed yet again to protect innocent lives, he is nominated for The International Peace Award. This is SICK JOKE on all Pakistanis and we CONDEMN this in the highest tenor. This disgusting joke on Pakistan must be condemned and exposed. This is analogous to nominating Bush for the Noble Peace Prize or Zardari for the International Morality Prize and is rubbing salt on the fresh wounds of the victims of the Marriot Blast.
If anyone deserves to receive this award it is Sattar Edhi and not Rehman “Double Agent” Malik who has yet to provide security to Pakistanis and could not even protect Benazir even when her rally the day before was hit by a suicide bomber.
I can’t believe a crook like Rehman Malik is even considered. This not a joke????
but a slap on the face of ALL Pakistanis!
What “The International Human Rights Commission (IHRC)” has done is exposing themselves as a political organization working for vested interest against Pakistan and not for human rights. Shame on IHRC and RM.
I saw your website, I think It is a tremendous effort to accept challenges atleast we run from the state of denial but we have a long way down,we can do for the betterment of our country without personal obligations because we are from the country of devotion,dedication and strong skills.We could do and inshAllah we will.
Based on the following email I have decided campaign tag line to be “Pakistan our only destination and destiny”
—-
thanx for your urgent reply.
first our moto i think ” lets save our last destination Pakistan”
i have chosesn few fields like to share.
Inter-provincial Ministry: improve relations between the provinces by being fair about resource distribution.
8-Women ministry: empower women politically, socially and economically whilst protecting them from injustices
faces the challanges of local terrorism
save and bring the youth in national scenairo . and creat patriotism among them.
there few more fields which can be discussed with the passge of time.

hello marvi.its very nice to listen you on TV.you have arguments for what you say.but you know an old scientist said,if he finds a place to stand he can lift the world.same you have strong ability to produce argue,s.but you dont have a strong stance to say.just because of your party.they are now half.at last they wil be eliminated.you know it better.what i say else.please think about it.i am your fan.
sajjad you sick minded liberal fascists..you are a actually the disease that is eating this country apart..you like to sit in your drawing rooms and sip whiskey, thats why musharraf suits you..you brainless whinner..if army was so much behind that dummy soldier of yours musharraf(who surrendered to a measley secretary o state) than mr know it all why were army and service personnel involved in all the assassination attempts on his life…you are full of shit man…you know nothing…you probably wish that you were born a white but since you are not so you go for the next best thing, enlightened(brainless)moderate(atheist)brown..engineered by musharraf…go and bark as much as you can but the fact remains that the army is much happy without this creep…and for your info stupid man they are not following his policies any more..they are now firing back and kiani has threatned to fire back..did musharraf do that ..no you libo(as in liberal retard)he allowed them to venture on our land …but that does noit matter to useless lot like you..yeah i am uneducated and you are the educated lot..thats why living in uk…and i am here serving my country ..tch tch you opted for all your luxury and now lecturing us about patriotism…go and ….yourself…you are the most useless of all lots…even Q league accepts shaukat aziz was corrupt..have you haerd of stell mills fiasco and centaurus..no bcos you were busy seeing musharraf doing mujras in musical evenings…i recognise you..you make not even 0.5 % of pakistan and you try to pose like the majority…you are one of those dumb people who think that a billionaire banker would be your solution..i pitty dumbos like you…try someday to talk when you are sober and not in high spirits like your disgraced leader musharraf…you are someone who is dumb enough to think that NRO was for the good of the country…you know what people like should be banned from coming back..stay there with you true ancestors..you mr brown…you are someone who really supports a monster liuke musharraf despite all his wrongdoings, bcos he suits libo shits like you…all the booze, sleaze suits you…go and first ask your dear foreign minister kasuri who has accepted that they allowed us the airstrikes…the day is very near when libos like you and salman taseer(a political clown)zardari and musharraf would be thrown out..this country will revert back to its roots..(modern islamic state) and sink your secularism in the arabian sea…till that time i hope and pray you stay in uk bcos we can not afford brainless libo like you…
PS: you started the war of the words , i just wish it remained on a decent level but you are the one who started it…
mr ali sid,
well its a whole lot better talking with you than sajjad the reatrd.neways well you have your own opinion and i respect it but the truth is that even quaid-e-azam did not ask this country in the name of secularism..what was the common slogan in those days..pakistan ka matlab kia …la ilaaha illalaa…quaid azam always mentioned muslims and islam in his speeches..why do you think we needed pakistan if it was meant to be secular…if we had to be secular than we should have stayed with india…and if jinnah was a drinker than i can not support him just bcos he was quaid-e-azam..he was wrong if he did drink and ate pork(stanley wolpert says so)…jinnah did not single handedly secure this country..millions died and they all believed that this country would be a modern islamic state…so if jinnah thought secularism is the solution after pak came into being..it was his own idea..you can not enforce it on us…fact remains pak was sought in the name of islam…
come on an educated man like you believes that NRO was in the interest of this country…it was his own personal agenda and what happened was expected..ppp can not be trusted and the day they secured popular support they ousted mush…as you sow so shall you reap…thanks
Unfortunately we Pakistani are unsecured in our home…………..we are not immune from our enemy and even don’t know who is our enemy
One Hadeeth say: The Government is the reflection of the people or your leader be the worst amongst you”.
Live and Real Example is Current President Of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari
Zardari is the nightmare of Pakistan,
What a shame is this, a person who did not have any decent educational capabilities, who is notorious, who has let murdered his own wife to get the ultimate power is going to lead my country. I feel very ashamed.
I agree that the worst consequences now Pakistan is going to face after having Zardari as president.. PPP won only because of Ms Bhutto .He took sympathy vote… its a plotting…! he didn’t mentioned for once that he will find out the killer of his wife who took away mother from his children s.
Regarding War Against Terror
The West & particularly America, leave Pakistan Tribal Areas & Afghanistan alone!!! The history is elaborating you without any ambiguity that since the Mighty King Alexander, Conqueror of the World i.e. British Rulers, So called super power of 80s & 90s Soviet Union couldn’t take over this particular areas/country thus neither will the United States of America! Because in these areas nature of people strongly believe in REVENGE in BRUTAL MANNER, therefore, these Northern Areas of Pakistan & Afghanistan are unconquerable!!! Everybody knows that America will lose the war on terrorism in IRAQ & right now at Pakistan & Afghanistan!!! According to the West theory they were stupid enough to supply the rebels weapons they used against the Soviets and now they are being used against their own by the rebels!!! However if anyone can conquer Afghanistan. According to our/Muslim Ummah religious believe soon you will see the Armies of IMAM MAHDI emerge from Afghanistan and they will erect their flags in Jerusalem, on their way to Palestine they will slaughter anyone that comes in their way in such manner that history never has seen.
May ALLAH BLESS those displace People lets hope for the best.

Maam I want to give one suggestion about your shadow cabinet. if u want get proper result to your shadow cabinet so u first start rise question to any current issue and for there answer which solution u feel better u after improvising as a suggestion discuss in parliament.
Once again stsements like save our last destiny, you mentioned as Pakistan, where were you and PMl-Q when Mushi was sighning deals like allowed to attack our land. Isnt that the proper time to feel that more. Secondly, govt. of PPP is juts because of Musharaf, if he wont sign a deal with PPP like NRO, these PPP leaders have not enough courage to come back and face the deals.
Secondly, about your feelings of pattriotisim, ok they are very good when we read them, but where were you and your father(Ex-Govt Official) when the Buss diver of Dosti express was fired, only because he take the buss safely to pakistani lands, in the time when Shiv Senes were planning to burn it off.
Secondly, supporting MQM which is actually an ethnic party, and major cause for imbalancing in sindh.
Again, be pure and Provide facts which are logical, I think so Pakistan should be run by opposition, because whenever anybody comes in opposition they start talking Patriotic. PML-Q and Mushi has Govern the country for 5 and 9 yrs respectivly and lead us to Hell.
Marvi, I would love to help you as this is what I’ve done throughout my 29-year-old life! Right now, though, all I can do is to give you some sincere advice. First off, all you have to do is hire a professional writer to work on your website, maybe from a prestigious newspaper or magazine, who is good at both writing and proofreading/editing. Better yet, since you do not seem to have any financial hiccups courtesy to your prosperous family background, I would strongly suggest you also hire a competent proofreader with a natural flair to criticize and pinpoint even the minutest of the errors (please don’t go for qualifications such as master’s in English literature or linguistics; rather go for his/her talent, capability and interest in this field). Also, please do something to at least give your front page a decent, professional look. My mobile no is: 0322-3597760. Looking forward to continuously helping you in this regard.
and yeh libo sajjad,
and if you think handing you r people and women to us is good thinking than be prepared that someday someone would earn a couple of millions by handing over your family and women to us as well.this is just the begining..only a libo supporter of a despot shit like you can label someone as a criminal without a trial…you scum of the earth
and yeah this website is not your fathers domain…have any problem with me then go and raise your slogans somewhere else…if marvi has no problem than you libo keep your trap shut..i guess there is a big B infront of your “ghairat”..lolz
Hi, how are you? Im Syed Faheem Raza from Karachi and doing MBA beside this im also doing Job as well.
Ms. Marvi Memon you really have a very charishmatic personality and i always watch your talk show regularly whenever it is Telecast on any News Channel. I have seen the potential in you that you can really work a lot for the betterment of the country because you have confidence , ability to face the challenges but personally speaking i suggest you that you must change your from Pakistan Muslim League (Q) to any other party or if you really want to know which party you may join u can email me and contact me anytime through my email. Because PML-Q has lost their fame in public. and this is your starting of your Political carrier so plz join the good party because its not suits you to defend loosers. You deserve the best.
Ok Ms. Marvi Memon takecare and hope to hear from you, soon.
well ali sid,
you are right that winnin g a cricket match is different than winning a war…but fighting a war is also different than running a country..the problem is tht we never let the system to filter out elements like zardari and nawaz…whenever a dictator has an urge for power he just tells the people tht pak is go ing d ow n and we welcome him…dont you think tht vote shud do the talking..nth would happen to th is country…for 60 years corrupt politicians are eating this country but it hasn t fallen apart ..we must let the system to sustain and filter out dirt….
and ali sid you are right we did not win the other 2 wars but cant you spot the simmilarity between all these lost causes..everytime we lost a war we had a dictator as a ruler..p lz do not support army politics this will damage on e good institution we are left with…
this is ARMAGHAN AHMED from islamabad i am advocate and also student of I R. i like to see you in parliment you have good ideas but you don,t have the right party i want to say many more. first i will wait your anser
Ma’am, i appreciate your courage and i respect what you are doing for our country. I am not into politics a bit but when i saw my country going down the drain due to selfish acts by our current unworthy, unloyal president i was worried and i still am.
I saw you on talk show(Capital Talk), i think you are doing great you have the guts to speak the truth and bring the real face of these unworthy two face people of Pakistan infront of nation.
I see you as the next Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah, please don’t let me down and continue what you have promised to do.
I am ready anytime you want my help with research work. I am your biggest fan and supporter. Please don’t let our nation down.
I was doing research on Mr. Asif Ali Zardari after his flirty event with Miss Sarah Palin. Our Honorable President was seemingly a little bit too un-Presidential [?]. During the customary greetings between the two leaders, Zardari called Palin “gorgeous” and later even offered “to hug” the Alaskan Governor.
I found something that was also related to Mr. Zardari that shocked me a bit. Its clear that he is mentally ill.The Financial Times reports that Asif Ali Zardari “was suffering from severe psychiatric problems as recently as last year, according to court documents filed by his doctors.”
Mamm I want to give one suggestion about your shadow cabinet. if u want get proper result to your shadow cabinet(also called it shadow parliament) so u first start rise a question to any current issue or problem and ask people there opinion about that after getting those answer which answers u feel better solution or argue select them . After improvising that solution u discus in parliament and informed your shadow cabinet (also called it shadow parliament) what question u ask in parliament and what is government point of view. I thin if u flow this process u create more involvement your flower in your shadow cabinet (also called it shadow parliament) .
Assalam o Alaikum:
No DOuT that u r a beautiful and intelligent politician, but it is very sad to see that u r working for and a part of dictatorship, who destroyed the whole democratic istitutions of Pakistan, specially Judiciary, which is the sole of democracy. Politics apart, you shold think that u r working with a group of traitors who are trepaning theirselves for their selfish interest.
Use ur abilities in the interest of the nation, and plz be a part of any democratic party, not of a Dictatorship.
I hope u will think about Pakistan and will leave to defend the traitors of Pakistan specially bloddy Musharraf.
Bye
Excuse Me:
Judiciary is the *soul* of Democracy… and ur party maker Pervaiz Musharraf, the historical dictator, destroyed this honourable and democratic institution of Pakistan.
VerY Shameful 4 everyone having a part of PML(Q)… A drowning boat…

Dear Madam,
Can you please comment on post # 197 by Zainab?
Is there anything you can do to help her Ma’am?
Thanks,
Shahid”
REPLY:
I read Miss Zainab’s post and i respect her rights but Mr. Shahid it is a fact without proof we cannot blame anyone. For example if i have any personal problem with someone i can make a fake post like this and write a fake story about someone. Please do not take me in wrong sense i do not mean that Miss Zainab is lying in anyway. I just want to say she should have taken some picture i.e “Graphical Proof” or recorded what the driver said i.e “Audio Proof”. In these situations its really hard to think but for the future please be careful.
Not in the world but in the life after inshAllah she will get her reward for being a patient woman. But in this world there is no adil shahid(Vitness) or proof.
Dear Ms Marvi,
Salam
I live in Bahrain and have been watching you on various programs and very impressed by your personality and reasoning.
I am writing to you with a great concern that this morning I heard the news that Punjab government is abolishing the Local Government System.
From my understanding of the political systems and international practices, now I can safely say that this country will breakdown, and the people will be enslaved, because they do not even know their own rights. The do not deserve independence, because they do not know how to excercise self government. To keep my message short, I very painfully urge you to start a campaign across Pakistan, involving all the Nazims and city government officials of Pakistan to protect the system. I can provide you with volumes on the benefits of local government system. I couldn’t get the email address of Mr. Mubashir Lucman, whom I belive that if he understands, he will give full medis support to this cause.
There will be no Pakistan if we do not have a fully functional, independent local government system.
The enemies of Pakistan wants to destroy this.
The Local Government system is the core of democratic practices, and complies with the basic definition of democracy i.e. of the people, by the people and for the people.
In democratic system of govt. the common man is involved in decision making to run their localities through the local governments. Local government system is an essential arm of the government hierarchy similar to the federal and provincial governments, and is practiced by all the successful nations. As you can’t abolish the federal or provincial governments because these are mismanaged or corrupt, you can’t abolish the local governments as well on these grounds.
The benefits of the systen can be indicated by the fact that the development of the 7 years of Local government is more than the combined developments of the last 50 years. And this is with the limited powers with them, and the nazims are still going through the learning process.
The reason for failure of Pakistan is the absence and denial of this arm of the government for the last 50 years. Volumes can be written about the benefits of local govt. The people, intellectuals and even honest politicians do not seem to be aware of this mandatory requirement for running of democratic system, due to which we are failing for the last 60 years.
The politicians are up against the local government system, and want to clip its powers because concentration of power and money is transferred from the federal and provincial capitals to the Local Governments. I urge the people to defend this system in the same way as the lawyers have been defending their independence, because Local government is OUR empowerment. If we do not know this basic fact, then as a nation, we donot deserve to be independent.
The reason our nation has been limping since the beginning is because this essential arm of the government has been missing, and when it was set up, due to the opposition of politicians who wants to retain power in their hands, many of its essential elements were removed. Not only that we should defend what we have, but also try to restore the powers which were originally there in the plan.
I have gone through it , its brilliant idea , GEO TV does not have anything regarding One 2 One with Youth , other channels do have such programs but young lad does not find it very interesting to go for them as GEO has its own audience ………I would like to take on INFORMATION MINISTRY OR IT & TELECOM whichever you think is good , since I am myself in IT&Telecom I can do that , or I also feel extremely confident to represent anyone of us on TV or anywhere …….
We should introduce an idea of MANIFESTO COMPLIANCE RATINGS ………….
After elections , whoever wins , losses ,is in govt or in opposition , media rather then only doing than TALKING should show more of CHARTS , AV Aids to show people if their parties have committed 100 things in MANIFESTO or MANSHOOR , how much of it has been complied , how much not and why …………based on this govt , opposition everyone should be rated , also …………Graphs of MNA’s performance should be issued , who sleeps in Parliament , who is always absent etc….so people of their own constituencies can come to know if their MNA , MPA is just enjoying on their Votes or is talking about any issue……GEO or any channel should have such a program ………….and we as SHADOW CABINET can run that program , collect information and bring it ON AIR.
With reference to Mr Qambar Raza’s post, all I would like to say is that the next time some female from his family gets beaten up or even sexually harassed, he should ask her for proof. Oh and yes, make sure you get physical evidence for the torture marks too (in case of a rape).
yeah i am here liberal retard sajjad from uk,
better stay there because we dont have space for useless lot you and other musharraf supporters and frankly we can not afford it…its a relief that this incompetent man musharraf is off army’s back..and our new chief has the guts to look us in the eyes and fire back…so they are not following that cowards policies..the ir refusal to support that man tells how much we stand behind him …as for the handi ng over of people to us for money..well only a libo like you who supports a dictator can support the act of labeling people without trial as criminals…you are a disease…stay back in uk with your ancestors..we dont need you…and marvi if you dont have the guts to allow anti musharraf comments on your forum then plz stop this drama…my reply to this retard sajjad is awating moderation since last 2 days…
yes brother ramiz i agree with you..making shadow cabinets and firey speeches on tv channels is not what matters..where were you miss marvi when this troupe of clowns (aka Q league) was in power…did you do anything…no..and you stand behind musharraf becuase he let you in the power corridors..you are not even elected
….we are not fools to believe that people like shaukat aziz and you would solve our problems…
dear marvi memon.it is a matter of great disappointment that educated people like you support a dictator.even you experience of studying abroad has not taught you that dictators and despots can never take nations ahead.your dictator was no different. he was obsessed with power and did everything he could to stay in power.if someone believes that 60 odd judges fired were all corrupt and musharaf was not then i can only feel sympathy for that soul.look at you.you show so much passion and still sidin g with Q-league.you really have some confidence
dear marvi your forum is infested with sensless emotional geeks like sajjad.he definitley does not understand the intricacies of politics.i bet he is a young lad who is impressed with mushy’s “wonderland ” of ideas.former president musharraf has done nothing but harm this nation. he has weakened institutions.just because of him the army has lost its respect in public eye.judiciary is the least trusted institute and is at its lowest ebb.maybe you should create a parllel forum for kids like sajjad.
AoA,
After watching a talk show on Express TV I visited your website and I was amazed that a MNA is mantaining a website. I would not talk about your political affiliations but me being an IT/GIS professional I am really impressed. Please keep it up.
Salam0alikum,
I’m a 22 year old student frm lahore, and i have watched you in various talk shows on TV and i admire your POV over various different dimensions. Now i think we are quite aware of what our concerns are;Its high time that we move to settle those down. The problem is that we all knw wt our problems are.. but we jst dont intend to solve it. Our government (so called ours) is doing blunders and evn those are intentional. How a country will progress under the ruthless robber like zardari or may i say mr. 10% might become a mr. 30%?? its not jst it… its an ever growing curse… Its worse that our people vote for the exect same person again.. i pity our nation; They cast a favour vote over their own death sentence! (the legacy continues…)
My question: Is there a way that we survive all this time? What now for pakistan under his regime?
Hi its kashif amir i am a student in uet lahore faisalabad campus i hardly have time to listen to any tv program a few months back i saw you on geo tv(capital talk)when i listened you i was stunned i must ask where were you before…… your views are marvelous and clear but one thing is this you are In a worng party you should not be in Q league infact there is no such party for you to get fit.well
I MUST SAY MARVI GOOD VERY GOOD KEEP IT UP.
YOU ARE TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOD
Freedom of speech is great but when Sheharyar starts using his freedom to abuse other members of this forum (including Sajjad) then I will not allow filth against anyone including Quaid to be shown on my website. Thus those posts of his were not shown. I suggest everyone use this forum for solutions on how to save Pakistan from the mess rather than shout foul language at each other. Thankyou.
thanks a lot marvi for waking up,
i guess you only read those posts with critic that are against your exalted leader.if you could just bother yourself to read that retard sajjad’s posts you would understand the reason i wrote those posts.i absolutley had no intentions of using that kind of language but when you call others names without provocation then be ready for a stinging attack..here is what your dear friend sajjad wrote while concluding his post
“SO SHEHARYAR THE DUMMY SOLDIER EX-SERVICEMEN(HYPOCRITES,MORONS,BULLSHITTERS,BARKING DOGS) ARE CALLING U, THEY NEED ALL THE USELESS PEOPLE AROUND PLEASE JOIN THEM AS WE DON’T NEED DIRT AND RUBBISH LIKE YOU ON THIS RESPECTFUL WEBSITE…” if you think this is worth your approval then i am sorry you are not what you pose as…and as far as your point of writing against quaid is concerned all i said was i could not approve of drinking just because he did so..if you are so loyal to him then you should have deleted ali sid’s remarks that where he says that quaid was an occasional drinker..and if you are so concerned about quaid then you should confiscate copies of “jinnah of pakistan” by stanley wolpert…this book is distributed by army book club and paf book club…but no why would you..you would only take this opportunity to score some points…
hi marvi memon.you are doing a good job. keep up the good work.you see i have witnessed sajad and sheryar’s fight on the forum for last few days.this is immature.i have not read sheryar’s replies to sajad as you have blocked them but since sajad’s are not blocked so i can see that even he has not been very decent in his choice of words.if sheryar has used abusive language then that is very wrong, but from what we see on the forum he was provoked by sajad.i myself support musharaf but if some one does not then please do not provoke him.sajad has used very immature approach and if we use such tactics we would never be able to convince people of musharaf’s achievements.
way to go brother sheharyar,
i am also from army and i second you. we are very happy that musharaf has been thrown out of our exalted institution and we are doing very good without him..keep shut sajjad..you dont seem to know anyhting about pak
I am deeply concerned about my country’s situation and no matter what people in power say , media and all other major power players are trying to rip my country a apart. Well i wont let this happen and wont let highschool pass MNAs and MPAs.
No Goverment cant do anything, infact all they can do is take loan on interest and make it more worse.Untill we as a nation make some radical changes of our characters.
And please never bad mouth about army, or any president from army, no one can match there educational, physical qualification
miss maarvi meman please stop acting as a saviour of this nation.you are trying to project yourself like a crusader agaisnt all the ills of the society, but the charity begins at home.you never said all these things when your party was ruling.my take is that you are just over ambitious and PML(Q)is the only party that gives you the kind of importance you are seeking.if you were in PPP or nawaz league you would have been a back bencher.if you are really the crusader you are acting as then please clarify your position on above named issues.thanks
On Zainab’s post:
I have committed to take it up in parliament and on talkshows. It is a serious issue and she doesnt require to give me tape recordings!
On the brawl in progres:
I have posted quite a bit..no more pls…Gentlemen — solutions pls.. Time out on this brawl – everyone has said what they had to say – move on pls.
Msg for Amnah:
each one of us needs to be a crusader to save Pak. I speak on those issues which bother me. I clarify my position everyday in my diary, far more than any other parliamentarian chooses to do with you!
well you have not clarified your support for kings party. you are just beating about the bush madam. and yes if you have publicly snubbed sheheryar then dont just keep quiet on his point of view. i think this website needs to get rid of people like sajjad who is almost sealed for any views against his own and you seem to support his ideas as all his immature and senseless posts are allowed to be posted on this forum.so much for your heroics.
hey thanks a lot wajeeh. thanks for your support.well i assure you that i had no intentions of using abusive language but this liberal retard sajjad pushed me. this man has no respect for others point of view and in his post he clearly calls army’s elite infantry corps as “khali dimag” and still his post is considered suitable for viewing. you can see for yourself he has used indecent words all the way in his post but marvi did not bother to block his post becuase he was writing in support of her dear musharraf but since i dont so my posts are indecent.she says she wont let any post against quaid be posted on her website. then why did she not block ali sid’s post that says quaid was an occasional drinker. but i only quoted an auhtor whose book is distributed in the officers of armed forces and she says i am wrong. well tell me would you approve of drinking if you are told that father of nation did so.i guess no because we cant.our religion and teachings of holy Prophet (pbuh) come first.we have to set our priorities straight. but people like marvi are only trying to score points and have no intentions of any good.if she really cared for pak she would not have supported a looser party like q league and supported a military dictator. she obviously has a hidden agenda like musharraf. LUST FOR POWER
wow marvi has actually moderated my earlier posts..good politics marvi just like your mentor musharraf..he closed down all the channels and then opened them when it suited him..good going.you are only showing this world how dual you are.thanks though my posts would vindicate my position.
SALAM MARWI, HOPE YOU KEEP ON DOING YOUR GOOD WORK YOU ARE A GOOD HOPE FOR THE PEOPLE OF PAKISTAN PLS HELP THEM, THE WAY YOU YOU ARE DOING TO MAKE THEM AWAKEN I REALLY PRAY FOR YOU ,BUT PLEASE BRING THIS SUBJECT ABOUT THE AFGHANI MAHAJER SINCE AFGHANISTAN IS OK WHY AND WHY ALL THOSE AFGHAN PEOPLE IS STILL IN PAKISTAN AT LEAST OUR 40% PROBLEM WILL B OK IF ALL TOHOSE GO BACK ,SO PLS TAKE THIS ISSUE IN TO THE PARLIMENT AND HAPPY EID MUBARAK , KHALID

i know it may be a strong commnet for people but truth is always bitter
ubaid
i must say u have things to improve in yourself and do things i am telling u now
1. get rid of yourself from muslim league(Q)
2. ur image in TV is like warrior thats bad,give us calculations , dont fight like politicians.
3. confess you were wrong when u were with musharraf,no one like him,and your citi bank collegue shukat aziz.
4. what solution do u have for the current financial crises
i ill keep writing
wassalam
A must read about what this government is doing ,its borrowing from the state bank has increased dramatically when it promised the sbp that it won’nt borrow and that too at a time when Inflation in Pakistan is at 30%.I mean how could anyone trust these corrupt parasites given their past record?.Once a thief and always a thief.Where is this money going?
may be its going overseas so that Bilawal can buy his girl friend a diamond ring.Is this who you people wanted to replace Musharraf?
Also the loan they have received from the ADB all of it is going to be used to retire debt of sbp.
Just read!
Business Recorder:
According to reliable sources the full amount of $500 million (Rs 39 billion) will be utilised to retire the SBP debt. Government had committed not to borrow from SBP after July 1st, 2008 and retire Rs 22 billion of existing borrowing by 30th September 2008. Contrary to the commitment over Rs 160 billion were borrowed during the first seven weeks of the first quarter. With last date for tax return extended to October 31st, it would be difficult for the government to meet its commitment.
In life there will always be those who will trust your sincerity and those who will scorn it. If one believes in one self one should ignore those who distract from mission and encourage those who are part of your mission. The mission I have proposed is a positive one. Help save Pakistan.
Anyway, its Eid, and I hope that those who have called me warrior like will understand why I feel so strongly about asking for solutions at this critical juncture of Pakistan’s history. I am sorry if I get extra emotional and look angry. But I am angry and I cant hide it. I am angry because I see niyaat issues in governance/ I see sell outs on our core policies.
Thats why I started the solution route so that all of us engage in positive direction. I want to write articles about your solutions quoting all of you who give solutions. I hope you will give your feedback in such a way that its easy for me to project your positive thoughts. And I also want to talk about them quoting you all in talkshows and in parliament. Put the thoughts in such a format that its easy for me to project.
I dont want to wait for parliament to raise Zainab’s issue. Lets try and put it in print before parliament starts. Give me more VIP type issues we still face in Pakistan. Lets have a piece dedicated to this. Solutions not just the issue.
well here we have a so called warrior who is creating shadow ministries and not missing any oppurtunity to attend talk show in every nook and corner…over exposure is bad marvi..sincere advice why dont you follow imran khan..the man has opened up a university in mianwali and affiliated it with bradford university..thats practical bravado..what you are doing is something that anyone can do..talk shows, shadow cabinets, emotional speeches is something we have had enough of.. people on your forum ridicule him but the man is actually spending millions on poor people in shaukat khanum and now education and he has practically showed his devotion for the country..please follow his steps and join him instead of a party whose president is himself not elected by people..had it been some western country shujaat would have resigned from his presidentship..how can a man lead from outside the parliament..same goes for nawaz shariff….your party actually supported a non elected person like shaukat aziz to become prime minister..can i ask you why did you not tell musharraf to appoint shujaat as prime minister..well i guess he was in no mood to listen..and since musharraf is retired why dont you ask him to lead your party..after all you followed him like a leader for 5 years…haan?…makes sense to me
well sheharyar i guess your point is bought by marvi and she has allowed your posts.so now kill it man.chill….lets be constructive in our critiisism and praise both.i respect your opinion and you seem to be an educated guy. not all mushraf supporters are like sajjad.we have the patience to listen and i respect you for the fact that you are a soldier and if sajjad has called army guys khaali dimaagh then this is rude and i resent it. our armed forces are our heroes and i would request marvi to snub such remarks there are then. so please man chill and participate in all constructive activities.may be marvi can assign you the defence ministry.what do you say marvi.adios
Asslam o alaikum
i am realy happy to know that u belons a better party in every respect from others and i am and a biest supporter of President Musharraf. I think the peolple had forotten the time after General zia till to millitiry coup in 1999 and i think it was necessary because mian sab was to proud at the time and left interest of Pakistan back .Well wishes for You President Musharraf mushahid hussain chaudry bros and the whole pml q but i am also admirer of Mr Shiekh Rasheed and i will be really happy if he came back to pml q because it will be better for him and for pakistan.Eid Mubbarak to President Musharraf and i will pray for him. Be Polite and Gentle with every creation which God had made .hopefull for pml q’s better future inshallah.
U r in better party so please dont left it and see the mis manners in ppp Govt like pres zardari’s speech. i think it was the most un suitable and un uderstandable speech in un. what a time chanGed from a marvelous speaker (pres musharraf) to ???? as pres of Pakistan.
As Salam Alikum
I am student of NED University of Engineering and Technology and inshaAllah ill be completing my bachelors in Computer Systms this year.
I felt that as a Pakistani , it is my duty to post in this forum ( although i am having my examinations and i dun have time )
Miss Marvi , your idea is very good and innovative. You are one of the very few educated member of our NA.I hope and pray that you will very soon come up with some practical steps.
Now some ADVICES and Suggestions :
1)Add a weekly poll to your website.
2)Put some questions on your site that you need solutions on so that people over here can be more specific.
3)Some hundreds of people sitting in the two houses and the provincial parliaments cant change the fate of the entire Nation.
And parliament is not the only place from where you can take beneficial measure for the Pakistani people. I strongly believe that we need people like Abdus Sattar Eidhi(May Allah give him ling life and strength to keep working like this).Every Pakistani has to take responsibility and opt a role for himself how he can save his country.People reading this post should better examine their own acts what they are doing and what they can do
So if you sincerely want to work for the people , i advice you to be a social worker rather than being a parliamentarian.
4)i also believe that democracy is successful if the people who are casting votes are sensible enough to know the importance of their vote. Here education plays and important role.
5)We have been commenting for year that our literacy rate needs to improve.Yes it should definitely improve. But the educational standards should also improve. We need to have more practical knowledge in our curriculum. We need to revise the course curriculum more often. The examination and testing methods needs to be improved.The standard of government schools and colleges is poor.
Now comes the question , HOW?
(i)First of all the people there is no check and balance on the staff sitting in the Matric and Intermediate Board Offices.Just go and visit those places and you will know that in an educational institution the most illiterate people are sitting (sorry to say).
(ii)All the work over there is done on papers and they file them.(what a pity!).The entire system should be computerized.Databases should be implemented.(Allah na kare if due to any accident those piles of files are burnt or ruined then what will happen.)
(iii)The govt. schools should renovated and there should be a check on the staff and teachers there.
(iv)Now the issue is that the govt. doesnt have that much of money to spend (as they say !)so why not bring some companies to step in . Start an education program “Para Likha Pakistan”
and ask some companies and all those who are interested to step in and help the govt. out . I am sure and i know a few companies who would be eager to work on this project for their fame and publicity. (I myself as the President of one the biggest IT event of Pakistan “TechELITE” have worked on project of this kind, and companies are very eager to spend money on such projects).
Like Brother Sheharyar gave example of Imran Khan , he has already started two GIANT projects ( What ever he may be good/bad but he has worked for his nation )
So why can you people come up with some projects of such kind.
I know that the issues that i have raised over here is not a new information for you and the rest of the Pakistanis.
So Ms. Marvi please take some practical measures , be a social worker.
I also know that this might not be the right time to speak on these issues as we are facing greater problems
Request to all the Karachites :
If you are a true Pakistani and want to do something for Pakistan, join the CDGK ownership program “We own Karachi”
Stand up and deliver , we have already had enough words , its time to implement the ideas as
“The ideas are important but nothing without implementation”
I might not be able to answer or comment as i am having my exams form 6th OCT – 15 Nov
May Allah bless us with true faith and unite us.
And always be proud to be a Muslim and a Pakistani
A true patriot

Maam your idea about shadow cabinet is vary good. I have some question about this cabinet u ask people they give suggestion u to solve the problem but do u think government is sincerer to solve our problem they have any credibility in people so why people use there energy making the solution ?
I agree with that writing about any topic is vary healthy and positive activity but why people write those people whom don’t series there problem. My suggestion is maam u have vary strong people flow ship why u not providing them leadership to people want new leadership like u (Mustafa kamal, Ammir liaqut, shazad ray oand other) .
I am not saying u other people u leave Q league its depend u when u thing better leave so u can. My point of view is you should star meeting the people who want meet & listen u not a Q league leader but as pioneer of shadow cabinet u can arrange any conference or seminar where u contact them. only relationship with web not very strong and use full. You have the quality of good communication u make them understand what is good & what’s wrong.
In the and I have one suggestion that please u move slow in media if u come every show may be people brow & please you speak slowly & humbly.
lol no wajeeha all musharraf supporters should be like sajjad..sajjad zindabad ..come bite us.
coming back to solutions..i think we need to expose the corruption of this govt if theres corruption happening ..so talk to the people in the govt who you are close to and find out what they are saying or just keep your eyes open to how the govt is spending money …corruption is not an issue in our poitics remember .. it must be made an issue! especially now that mr 10% has come into power.even our maulvis are going corrupt now …that moon sighting was a fraud.
I take all your advices very seriously. I have reduced by half my TV talkshows this month.. compared to August. I will also try and be less angry on TV! In the meantime you are right about social work. You are also right about picking and prioritizing the right balance between individual injustices and policy issues. Thankyou for writing and advising…
Hahahah… i dont understand why so much educated people think very strangely, if Mushrraf was so good then why people of Pakistan voted against him and his policies, why did not he face impeachment, if u people even defend his policies, then demand da parliament to debate on his policies, A person who itself accepts that he took uncostitutional steps on 3rd November, so why u people defend that steps that he took, be loyal 2 ur country and to ur nation.*Always tell ur boss what he needs to hera dont tell him what he wants to hear.*

I mentioned Zainab’s issue and demanded justice on it in ARY Kashif’s show tonight- also mentioned Faisal’s manifesto compliance rating- and I didnt look angry- I do listen to all of you
How can a vote of be any value when the voters are uneducated naive people, thugs, righteous pepole voting one person or party, who have been choosen again and again.
1-If you want to make a change bring a educated voters clause, than i will see who gets the mandate which is so much talked about.
2-Educated respected people should be in parliment like your self. Than i will see how many you will find in remote areas of pakistan.
3- A law should be passed that only educated responsibble should be preaching islam and guidence to people
4- Arabic should be made our national language ( should be in longer term plan )
5- Any contradictions of present constitution with Holy Quran should be abolished, Infact its time for us to have Quran as our constitution.
6- Encourage local rich buisness tycoons to invest in products which we are importing, and ban all imports which are competing with local products.
7- Invest in research and development, education, technology, we need scientists, inventors
8- Do nothing after reading all this which i am sure is future of this 7 point agenda for now.
A beautiful inspirational poem taken from my favorite movie ‘rang de basanti’.
I love General Kiani and his brave soldiers ,may they come to the rescue of this nation soon Inshallah.I will fight with them.
(The poem is written as an ode to the young freedom fighters of the Indian Independence Movement, and is often associated with the younger generation of inter-war revolutionaries such as Shaheed Bhagat Singh and Chandrashekhar Azad. Ram Prasad Bismil aptly utilized the same pen name in his own poetry).
Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai
Dekhna hai zor kitna baazu-e-qaatil mein hai
aye watan Karta nahin kyun doosra kuch baat-cheet
Dekhta hun main jise who chup teri mehfil mein hai
Aye shaheed-e-mulk-o-millat main tereoopar
nisaar
Ab teri himmat ka charcha ghair ki mehfil mein hai
Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai
Waqt aanay dey bata denge tujhe aye aasman
Hum abhi se kya batayen kya hamare dil mein hai
Khainch kar layee hai sab ko qatl hone ki ummeed
Aashiqon ka aaj jumghat koocha-e-qaatil mein hai
Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai
Yuun khadaa maqtal mein qaatil kah rahaa hai baar baar
Kya tamannaa-e-shahaadat bhi kisee ke dil mein hai
Dil mein tuufaanon ki toli aur nason mein inqilaab
Hosh dushman ke udaa denge humein roko na aaj
Duur reh paaye jo humse dam kahaan manzil mein hai
Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai.
Dekhna hai zor kitna baazuay qaatil mein hai
Assalaam O Alaikum
Madam I honestly regards your opinions and as well as your educated style. I’m watching your talk shows since Gen (R) Musharraf’s era. You always explain your point of view briefly and as a young lady politician you have a unique style.
Regards
False, false and only false statements.
I dont know what is the criteria of our tv programmes.
Is this a policy of our chennals……? Not to show facts.
Where is their struggling against dictatorship gone? Madam why are they all not understanding that there is not only military dictatorship but also civil dictatorship.
I must say they are not working for Pakistan just working for their business.
Madam cant we understand that it is again another dictatorship.
What so ever people want only Zardari’s desire is fulfilled. This is one man show.
Cant our chennals able to understand that what is happening?
Innocent people are killing in our country and non graduate president of pakistan is flirting( line maar raha ha ) Zardari to Sara, ” You are so beautiful, I can even hug you”.
Zardari ye bhi bhool giya kay wo marhoom Benazir Bhutto ka shohar hay jis ki abhi pheli barsi bhi nahi hoiye.
Look at the behavier of PML(N) Nawaz Sharif, A country is burning and he has gone for UMRAH.
Where is his commitment of juditionary?
Now no one is bothered for ex chief justice after Gen (R) Pervez Musharraf.
Actually they all wanted Musharraf to be gone and they dont want justice to be resolve in our country.
Now what PPPP is saying that our atleast 50 NA seats is taken away by PML(N) using unfair means.
Please people of Pakistan request you to force media to work again for pakistan and get rid of ANTI-PAKISTANIS….
Where is Dr. Shahid Masud gone? I was not surprised when he was offer an appoinment MD(PTV), actually I was surprised when he accepted the offer. Was he actually a greedy man????
Regards
hello mam
i want to say that we all pakistanis are really proud of you andwish we had mature politician like you that would make country move forward only thing that fears me most that in 21 centuary its not the war of wepons its economic war and we now how fragile our economy is can you please tell what govt is doing in that field and how long would it take to come back on trak the same track we had in musharraf’s period.plz reply
thanks
Madam
DawkTurr Shahid Masood is a jacka$$, a failed “doctor”, a sub-standard interviewer, an obnoxious and ill-read interviewee, a pseudo journalist, an opportunist of the highest order now being paid Rs 10,00,000 and a faux Musselmaan plagiarist.
The thing is, snake oil salesman “jaanu jermans” like him propsper rather well in the ill-educated populace which has not a smidgen of logic remaining in their thought processes after having been educated through the contorted fictions of Pakistani education system.
Regards
Madam
Shahid Masood is intellectually poor. He was not capable of making money from his medical practice. Media in Pakistan is destrying Pakistan. Looking from outiside about Masood, Hamid Mir, and Media: we need Chinese model, we also look into American, Indian, and Israeli models: where language used by Media on National Security issues is a real crime. In China any one would have been shot, In the USA, arrested under Patriot Act, In India and Israel no less than China. These people are taking advantage of NRO, Nawaz’s stance against Army, and Silence on part of Mush & Defence Forces. The British style democracy with this Media and Politicians have created this mess. It has not done anything for poor. We need a change and let’s follow Chinese Model of Economic Success and Political Stability, where Armed Forces and Civil Society are Partnets in development and growth. Talking against Musharraf has become a fashion. That’s what GEO and Masood did. Let’s ask question from every looter politician what he/she has done for the people, his economic vision, and has created any job?? but loot for himself.
Regards
The real loser is Shahid masood as he is no more credible and no one will ever listen to him. Instead of “doston ka, rishtey daron ka, girdo nawah key logon ka”, iss rascal ney sirf apna khyal rakha. We have wasted last 4-5 yrs listening to his sermons, his chantings, his ramblings. We regret it now.
To Mr. SHihan And Madam Marvi…
brother u criticised on all politicion except da recent traitors and sellers of this country: perhaps u have been rewarded by Mushrraf or his dictatorship.And if not,to sub se pehle tumhai us dictator ko condemn karna chahiye tha jis ne apne country k innocent logo ko AMericans k hatho sell kar diya, just for his own sake, just to prolong his dictatorship, jis ne country ko destroy karne k liye aisee policies banai jise aaj Jamhuriat k bare bare Alambardar bhi continue karne par majboor hain. jisne mulk ki sovereignity ko bhi Americans ki harlot bana diya,
Who destroyed the whole democaratic institutions and suspended da constitution many times, he made the judiciary da least reliable and da most controverssial institution of the state,
or jo bara commando banta phirta tha, impeachment face karne ki bhi juarrat nahi thi us ma, and he devoured like rat…
And then you should condemn to those people who were with him and helped him to destroy the state and now they are dispersed b/w them… or sharam ki intiha k itna sab kuch hone k bad bhi aqal k nakhun nahi le rahe…
Ahhh…..
Jis ne bhi kaha ha 100% sahi kaha hai k
*The worst democracy is better than dictatorship*
Or NaWAZ SHArif ki app bat karte hain, us ne to Pkistan ki History ma pehli martaba yeh rivayat kaim ki hai k kisi ne usoolo per hukumat ko laat mari ho, sirf qaum se kiye gaay waday ko woh poora na kAr sakay and they even left da alliance, we should pay a High tribute to those people who have courage like this…
oR baqi bat rahi shahid masood ki to, Jb Mushahid hussain or ch. shujaat jese log bik saktay hain to woh bechara kis khet ki mooli hai… dua karo K Allah is mulk se dictatorship ki baqiat khatam karay.. tbhi jakar jamhuriat ka influence app ko is country ma nazar aay ga…
or baqi baat rahi zardari ki to i m 100% agree with all of those who think that he should not be the president of the state, but when i c if if Musharraf could be da president, so why not Zardari???? Usay to un logo ne bhi vote diye hain jo Gen. Musharraf k nawaze huay log thay, it means that there is something else in that person….
Aur Baqi Baaten to ek taraf us k nominated Prime Minister ko poori PML(Q) ne vote kia, jb app ne us k P.M. per itna bharosa kia hai, to us per aitmad karte huay kyu taklef horahi hai???
Bus dua karo bhai, or ms marvi ko Samjhao k liers or traitors k sath mil kar mulk ko tabah he kiya ja skta hai, usay sanbhala nahi ja sakta, 4 a better ambition 2 achieve, there should be Da best platform, or if u think there is no platform of this type, then stand alone, God will help u if YOU really want to help His people…
Lekin ye bhi to majboor hain, ab yeh bhi to un traitors ko treason nahi kar sakti warna seat jo chali jaay geee, seat gai to sari baten khatam…
phir Na rahay gee Marvi or na rahay gee Parliament….
BTW what do u think madam about my post????
hVe u courage to speak truth?
Bhai aap kion sad hotay hain ye in baray logo ka style hay, kia aap ko nahi lagta tha kay dr stupid monkey ppp ko aur benazir ko aur asif zardari ko oppose nahi kerta, hamay to phelay hi maloom tha kay aisa hi hoga, kia aap wo program bhol gaye jab is dr stupid monkey nay retired generals ko bola ker pakistan army aur pakistan ki security ko challange kerna shoro ker dia, me to kehta hoon aisay logo dr stupid monkey, gen gulzar aur moin ud din haider ko national security act kay tahet hang ker dena chahiye…
pata nahi hamari army ko kia hogiya hay jis ka dil chahta hay army kay khilaaf ghalat salat boldeta hay aur koiye us ko nahi pooochta, dr shahid masood aur hamid mir jaisay journalists nay journalism ko badnaam ker dia hay, musharraf kay janay ki dair thi sab kay mouth band ker diya gaye, ye sab rascals hain,
Marvi tum media per aati hu please zara media waloon ko bhi sabak sikao ye media walay hi hain jo mulk ka bera gharak ker rahay hain
yes u are right arabic language can unite us direct understanding of quran and ahadees can bring common understanding.marvi u dont have any lower level political exprience so thats y u talk big.dont u think quality primary education can do much to save our future. and i have a suggestion for u.
i believe a lecture of half an hour on any topic of quran must be delievered in every school colleges universities includding private institutions too,can be helpful to resolve the terror problem.after all i think u know one hadees inwhich muhammad(p.b.u.h) said i am leaving this quran among u and this can only keep us unite(allah forgive me if i m wrong).
ASA,
I had gone through deep depression when I heard about resignation of our great leader Mr. Musharraf. Since that day I realized more and more that I had responsibility towards my home country. But I had no clue how? And as the days passed by my embarassment increased and increased. I’m no more a proud citizen, I am not just a citizen of a third world but maybe a third grade nation. There is no more a person like President Musharraf to make us proud.
I have seen quiet a few of your talk shows and I have been amazed by the knowledge and confidence you have. Myself and many of my friends now see you as our voice.
I’m hoping to contribute to my ability on your website. I have added your website in my favourites. All I need to know if there is any way you can post your upcoming speeches and talk shows schedule on this website so we dont miss any of them and can keep our morale high.
I am in construction business for last 5 years at Islamabad and Dubai. My father is a retired army officer and had an opportunity to serve with President Musharraf in SSG. He was our only hope and we still hope if he can come back, maybe you might know.
At this time I can volunteer myself for any administrative support you might need in the cause of keeping Musharraf vision alive and serve my homeland.
i agree with sheharyar.we need people with practical contributions.imran khan is doing a lot and if he manages to make namal uni a success story like shaukat khaanum then i am ready to forgive his past. why dont you people follow his suit marvi.
To Usman CHeema And Obviously Madam Marvi..

This is Hira Suhail Ahmed Memon from Karachi.I’ve been listening to the talkshows you’ve been attending…Why are you so much against an elected government?????Mushi man was a non-constitutional president and a dictator…not even an elected President…and you talk about her achievements…huh…bullshit…but you always forgets the sacrifices of the present government and the civil society and the students and the youth…u talk about the present governments failures??????and what about the tear gases and lathi charge your dear mushi man did on us?????i’m still having problem in breathing…dear lady i’m not a nonenity…i belong to quite a high-named family…we are from no parties…we are simple students who were supporting CJ and protesting against an un-constitutional President…was protest a crime in your government’s eyes????ooops…sorry i forgot…i mean WAS PROTESTING A CRIME IN GENERLA MUSHARRAF’S REGIME DAYS?????and if it was so…then why you want us…the youth now to protest against the present government?????Lady…i’m being very frank…that you are following the footsteps of Musharraf…who is hated by 87% PAkistanis at the moment…
and yess…btw you were right we have strong disagreements and we disapprove your party affiliation…plz dont say that it’s your constitutional rigjt to select and support party of your choice…because an army dictator’s supporter is always against the constitution of Pakistan…and if you are in favour of Musharraf the you cannot do a single thing for Pakistan…he was nothing more than a traitor…and if one is denying that…he is kidding him/her self then…or maybe that person doesn’t know a single thing about democracy or constitution or law…or maybe ignore these things…a person who supports musharraf means doesn’t give a damn about people and their rights and their votes and their respect and power…well i shouldn’t have said it all because your party has been taught well in 18th feb. 2008’s elections but i think you are talking a bit more than is needed…that’s why leaving a message…and i can bet on it if one more army dictator is going to offer you and your party important offices…you are again going to sell your self-esteem…
goodbye and takecare
and remember onething 87% Pakistanis doesn’t hate only Musharraf…they hate pml-q also…they voted against them…so stop barking and try to help the present goverment [pppp and pml-n and anp and mqm etc.] to work for the welfare of the present government…
Assalam Alaikum mam !
eid mubarak
I would like to express my opinion about two topic , first of all muslim leaque forget pass and be a good pakistani give your hand forward toward Muslim leaque (N) if you people like to built up strong pakistani forget all pass and enter new version, second point about terrorism in pakistan , in our northern area Fata and swat, if we like to stop this procedure and cut out supply we must built up mine in our border and inform our kabaily people that 2 years no one cross border till we built up and finish terrorism in pakistan, we built up and set mine in our afghan border and also mention american and Nato force that 2 years we can’t help you and supply stuff , kindly arrange another sources, because we try to finish terrorism in pakistan so we cut out our border all way no supply and no border crossing , we fight in our area and you people fight in your area that way picture come out who do terrorism ?
kindly mention this point in media that the only way we can stop terrorism in pakistan
and another thing make force that area people and they can look after their area and clear from terrorism , because no army finish terrorism ever in that area.
that area people make force and provide satefy of that people , only our army look after our border and fata border that people come in islamabad and other area
and i have another topic too about Hajj program
Big corruption in that program and i have proof , if you needed i ‘ll provide you that pervious and current minsitry do corruption in Hajj program and sale hajj quota
thank and best regards
God bless you mam
if you reply me then i’ll write you more suggestion
Of late, my wife and I have been keenly watching your very sharp but apt remarks at the bad governance of the PPP lead government. So far so good! But what about the past follies of your mentor general Musharraf who, a CIA agent and the one who wanted to perpetuate his rule on one pretext or the other, sided with the Americans, and, look at the quagmire that we are in today. You have all the right to blame the present government of nincomph poofs but you must also admit the mistakes of your “NAB zada Q league”! Even Musharraf admitted in his parting speech that he had committed mistakes (read blunders).
As reported in the column “Such gup” in the Friday Times, aren’t you one of those who were doled out money by the ex-president from his discretionary funds for engaging with media?
You, from Qleague, have been vociferously cricising the PPP govt but what’s your call the latest news that so called “Qatil League” has decided to join the PPP!!!??? You are all proving to be “perpetual lotas” once again!
The fact that you were part of rubber stamp assemblies, under a puppet PM and directly benefitted from the dole outs of a dictator, should not be taken as a qualification to bombard us with your “personal” views which are at variance with your own party.
So much has happened in the country since the chickened out dictator left but he is silent to the extent that one presumes that he is already dead! No comments on suicide blasts – his legacy -, no eid mubarak to his “aziz hamwatno”! Isn’t he a prisoner now just like he had imprisoned the deposed CJ and Dr. AQ Khan?
My advice to you is; remove the shackles of the past, start with a new slate and then address the general public with the courage and conviction of a new Marvi!
I respect President Musharraf for his many achievements for Pakistan. I criticize current government for what I see as anti-Pakistan policies. Both are my rights.
Before accusing anyone of accepting supposed media dole outs please get your facts straight. I am proud to confirm that I am certainly not one of those people mentioned by Such Gup Friday Times.
We clearly dont agree on many aspects of our country’s politics but thats ok. It is PPP who called us Qaatil, certainly doesnt make us Qaatil if they call us Qaatil. It is PPP who is now eating their own words and extending hand out to our party for joining govt not other way around. Would request you to avoid such accusations also. Millions of Pakistanis did give us their votes and I am sure by calling us Qaatil you are hurting their rights too.
In my opinion President Musharraf was no dictator because he was elected by PML majority votes. He certainly is no prisoner since he is moving around meeting people quite freely. If he is silent publicly about Pakistan’s state of affairs for now I respect that. Thats his choice for now.
These arguments that you have presented are fairly non-productive. Because with your abuses neither are you going to change my mind nor by my response I will change yours. Best you use this forum to give ideas on solutions only. This is the new culture we the new generation of politicians and the youth are trying to inculcate in our politics. Would appreciate you espousing that too!

ha ha ha
achievements of Musharraf????????
Let me give u true achievements of mushrraf which are
Terrorism in Pakistan
bombing in waziristan
provincial dishormony
operation in Baluchistan
brutal murder of Akbar Bugti
brutal murder of Benazir Bhutto
economic plunder in the shape of whaet,sugar and other commodities
orgainised criminal scandal in the shape of stock exchange
depriving pakistan of its national assets such as steel mills,ptcl etc
But do u know his biggest achievement?????
His biggest achievement is marvi memon who belongs to the memon community of karachi.her father is a senator elected from sind province but marvi memon has become MNA over the quota of Punjab province.wow what a remarkable mockery with the notion of Provincial autonomy.when it become clear that PML Q is going to be perished in Sind,she was blessed by Musharraf with a seat reserved for Punjab women folk.
So plz stop behaving like a true champion of democarcy.u might have good contacts with tv cahnnels but let me assure u how big fiasco the elected government becomes in future,the PML Q must not dream of Musharraf era coming back.
I know u will mark my comments as aggressive and abusive.u may post certain remarks in ur favour through some fake IDs at this forum.yet deep inside u it will be clear to u how right i am.byeeeeeee
Maj (R) Talat Khurshid & Madam Marvi
Major Sahab first of all you should criticise yourself not only for misused of this forum as well as acted like Lt Gen(R) Gulzar and Lt Gen(R) Moin Uddin Haider. Madam Marvi has arranged this forum to google out solutions of blunder of problems specially producing by PPPP govt since Feb 18.
For God sake maj sb what the hell you have done in Pak Army you know very well and the result of your splendid service is your retirement as just a Major and now you are showing yourself an excellent analyst.
I think you need to go through from the current situation when:-
US seals again n again entering in our country land.
US planes are bombarting in our mother land on daily basis.
Composition of ISI is now changing.
China is now looking to India.
India is treating you.
Your President meets Indian PM and indian stops throwing water.
In the UNO Address your President didnt like to talk abt Pakistan’s security rather than his own security.
American’s candidates of President and wise presidents are declaring Pakistan a top terrorist country for world.
In this critical situation your president is flirting Sara Palon, forgot BiBi.
Red Cross declared Pakistan a War Zone.
Your economy is almost destroyed.
No one is ready to help you out.
Maj sb first criticise your self than others, now these are the problems if you have any solution than suggest it….Nothing Personnal
Mr. Ramiz and Madam Marvi
Mr Ramiz you type of people destroying pakistan, I will not discuss what the hell you spoke out about the past and for your information I’m not a person who got any benefit by Gen(R) Pervez Musharraf.
Mr Ramiz how could you forget the entry of Nawaz Sharif in National Politcis, just recall your memory, that was just because of Gen(martyr) Zia Ul Haq. A man who is born in the Military Academy can be a true politicain…? absolutely not
When the first time Benazir became a PM what she did, interfared in ISI(immediately changed DG ISI) and she disclosed the names of sikh leaders who were working for their “The Land Of The Pure”, The Khalistan movement is a movement in Indian Punjab to create “The Land of the Pure” as an independent Sikh state in all Punjabi-speaking areas, which include Indian Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and some other Punjabi speaking parts of states like Gujarat and Rajasthan.” You might not be knowing that in Zia’s era ISI giving training and aid to sikh movement via Sir Creek but Benazir destroyed each n everything.
What Nawaz Sharif did in second period of Benazir, he used his punjab govt to throw out Benazir from govt to opposition and what he did in his second tenure, should it not be called civil dictatorship???? Immediately he changed DG ISI than a chain of changes like Justice(R) Sajjad Ali Shah(An attack on supreme court), COAS Gen(R) Jhangir Karamat, he again kick out the seniority of Lt Gens and selected fifth senior Lt Gen Pervez Musharraf as COAS, was it not a civil dictatorship???? what is Zardari dont you how fame he is???? A killer, A bankrupt, Money Laundry scandel, Mir Murtuza Bhottu case, Mr. 10%, Gold Smuggler, the most benficail of Benazir’s assasination, now a civil dictator and a flirter……..
Regards for Madam
Ms Marvi
Thanks for your very prompt response! Are you always sitting on the PC or there is a “shadow Marvi” responding to our emails!!??
Respecting Musharraf for his achievements and criticising the present govt are your rights…. fair enough but what are or were the General’s achievements?….Selling his own “aziz hamwatnos” to America, hunting with the hound and running with the hare (killing some of the so called Talibans and sponsoring others?), 9 March 2007 and its aftermath, sugar, wheat, stock exchange, steel mills scandals, Jamia Hafsa, to name a few, and above all, an unconstitutional step of declaring emergency and packing up of the judiciary and last but not the least…. shameful NRO for the perpetuation of his own rule and how he was bitten back by the illiterate public when his party was voted out!
Its good to know that you are not one of those who were doled out money by the ex-President. By the way can you name those personalities who were the recipients of this dole out?
If its PPP who is asking for your party’s hand then why doesn’t your party refuse to join them? The impression is that Q league is also itching to join because of the fact that you people can’t stay without ministries!!
I used the words.. “so called Qaatil”…. but who would explain for the washing away of the forensic evidence from the crime scene after BB’s murder? None other than Musharraf who was “heading” the Q League.
Musharraf got majority votes from a dying assembly but more than 80% of the public dismissed him with their votes… so which one is important… the NABBED assemblies or the FREE people??!!
Musharraf is silent because he knows that he will be booed where ever he will go.
You were very candidly giving solutions to problems on tv channels…. and you want us to give solutions to you as well… why?
1. Ask your party not to join the PPP
govt
2. Join the movement for the restoration of the sacked judiciary and enhance your stature in the eyes of the public.
3. Admit mistakes, follies and blunders of your govt of the past and start with a clean slate.
4. Align yourself with the mood of the public and do not I repeat do not go contrary to the wishes of the people which was the hall mark of your mentor Gen Musharraf.
5. Contrubute in alleviating the sufferings of the common man.
6. Do come over in talk shows but then tell us what concrete steps you have taken now…. not what the govt should do. You were in the govt for 8 long years…. you did nothing!!
7. Take up one of the issues… health, education, clean water, maternity and child care etc etc as your primary responsibility and let the people see for themselves. Actions speak louder than words.
Last but not the least, I did not see the “youth Marvi” in the past 8 years… If every young politician like you starts on his own then we would be a divided nation. How about joining hands with another leader like Imran Khan. Hope you don’t have any pre-planned hate material against him???!!!
We can talk for days and nights about who did what and what not. We have constitution which is beleived and referred more than Quran by some. We have an ordeal system called democracy which is imposed over us, by, dont know who.
Why are we all supposed to follow the constitution and democracy? An ordinary man has no use of constitution. It is Mr. Iftikhar who needed it or power hungry leaders to talk and talk about it. If constitution is so important and effective then why dont we ordinary people get justice from courts. A court decision requires common sense but here the courts require to fill up the case files and tackle the nuisance of lawyers and judges.
Democracy cannot feed us, roti, kapra aur makan, none can be and never was provided by democracy. Everyone who has been on this forum should know this forum is not offered by any politically “elected” person. Infact there is not a single elected political memeber in assembly who has such a potential and calibre to even offer this forum. All they have is election offices only during campgain and then they are gone for good. Atleast here we have the basic right to talk our hearts out.
There is a huge mis conception about civil society. I simply dont understand which civil society are we talking about and hearing about on media. The real civil society is here on this forum and people around us who we get to meet. They have never been on any rallys or protests.
I am civil society, I dont want to hear about the constitution and democracy, I need respect for my homeland, for my motherland, for my nation.
u are new generation politician,ok, but u dont have any low level political experience like local bodies member,so i cant understand how can u resolve the problems of the people u never encountered,tell me how can u improve the education in our country,have u ever visited any government school
Two quick answers since I have my hands full with work …
Nobody other than me responds to all of you. No ghost writers. It takes time but its important to be direct with all of you. I respond thru blackberry sometimes so its immediate.
Anyway I have visited many govt schools. Latest was Manora where the children had died. Those who read diary pages would know more about my day to day activities. Those who are on a hate spree wouldnt.
If everyone’s experience in parliament was the regular average stuff you wouldnt have the wealth of expertise required to lift this nation out of its current state. If technocrats have made it to parliament lots of people are happy about that. Some are not!
Anyway, solutions thats all we need.
I dont censor comments. Nor am I moronic enough to get people to post things in my favour on my website! What you see on the website is what people have to say..some good some bad..some useful some useless.
Maybe I should start filtering so that we only see solutions on website, but I dont think that is voice of the people. So I shall continue posting all of what you send however useless or useful it is for Pakistan.
regards sir maj talat,
only a true soldier talks with such grit…you are right sir..we have had enough of these people…miss marvi and her father have always been in power..when there was an elected assembly she had a reserved seat and when the caretaker govt took over her father came in …but what have they done..nothing sir…and then there is a man imran khan..you can call him a playaboy or self styled mullah but he has done practical work..and its sickening to see that whenever someone confronts him, its always that old paternity suit they talk about..as if they took bath in ganges river..these people speak of freedom of speech and yet they supported that dictator when he clamped down all media..freedom of speech is all what mushy thought its not…
hahaha yes marvi now you look more like mushy’s camp.. he also thought that except him everyone was talking useless..go on and filter the ones against you this will only prove what a dual personality you are..regards
My team is in the process of putting together a solutions document based on only those solutions given on this forum. Would be interesting to see the document and also the names of those who have truly contribted and those who have merely used this forum to spread hatred and write useless comments!
Your article in daily The News, ‘Why China’ on 4th Oct. ‘08 was indeed an excellent effort to put forward the concerns of millions of Pakistanis as to why this government is giving a cold shoulder to the repeated positive gestures by the Chinese government.
As we know that our current survival exists only and only in very warm relations with China, our leaders look in doldrums whether to go with US or China. Situation looks same like Mr. Liaquat Ali Khan faced in early 1950s, when he was between ‘a rock and a hard place’ with US on one end and Russia on the other. After some fifty odd years, the destiny has again, given us an opportunity and great nations learn from their history (I hope our leaders have learned it too!).
I have certain suggestions to bring them to your notice and I request you to please raise them in the assembly, as your party and Mr. Musharraf have done a commendable job in taking Pak-China frienship to new heights. I expect the same from you even in the opposition.
As a telecom employee, I know how China is helping us in building up partnerships in telecom industry and bringing foreign investment in Pakistan, consequently creating more and more job opportunities for the people of Pakistan and introducing them to some of the latest state-of-the-art technology. However, it is not enough until Pakistan becomes a self-manufacturing state, having some manufacturing plants, taking into consideration the exponential growth of telecom sector in Pakistan. Worth mentioning here is the fact that Pakistan is one of the top five countries of the world where telecom industry is flourishing so rapidly and perhaps has the highest population-to-mobile subscribers ratio with nearly 50% of the population using mobile phones. In this scenario, if the taxes on imports of the telecom equipment is increased by may be upto 70 to 80% and duties on the telecom equipment being manufactured within the country are taken-off, investors will definitely seriously look into building manufacturing plants in Pakistan, as Pakistan is one of the hottest telecom markets of the world and no foreign investor would like to lose Pakistan as a telecom market. By that time, hopefully, Pakistan will get out of the energy crisis and China is expected to be the country which would be more than interested in building up of manufacturing plants at larger scale as they already are investing billions of dollars in this industry and are the highest investing country in Pakistan with no other country nearing even closer to them.
I am very much hopeful that as a patriotic Pakistani and member of a great political party and supporter of a great leader, Mr. Musharraf, you will actively participate in bringing this issue into the limelight.
May Allah bless you with courage to serve Pakistan and take Pakistan to the new heights of glory and may Allah make your voice credible to bring a change in this country.
Your idea of Shadow Cabinet is good. I propose that you may like to prepare a team on a certain area of expertise, which can then be headed by two leaders. One can be a person with some expertise and the second can represent youth. This all could be made possible through this virtual world of internet.
One part of the team can initiate the identification of problems and the other part can findout the solutions. However, there can be no bar on anyone to join either group at any time. These solutions could be gathered in the form of a paper which can then be published or presented before the House.
I really thankyou for your initiative, through which people even like me can also think that we can contribute something to this land being in my own position.
Ma’am, m doing this mail to u for just recognising urs performance as an political activist n member of our prestigious National Assembly….
The way u r participating in different talk shows of channels like geo n express news n giving a realy tough time to the ruling party as well as defending ur party’s instance is just simply fantastic n appreciable, inspite of knowing the fact that normally politicians dont ever do this for sure interest of country mostly to sab dikhawaa hi hota hai n peoples have lose there hopes on poiliticians realy……but u seems that perhaps u have some simpathy for our country.
May ALLAH bless u n urs family too n give u soo much courage which is needed to continue the way u r performing urs rule INSHALLAH.
Sorry to fill up ur inbox every now and then, I hope it does not bother all that much.
I am seriously concerned about the criterion of distribution of ministries among d/f individuals. In current system I don’t see professionals running the ministries that urgently require professional help. Different portfolios are occupied by purely political appointees. We also in the past have had the experience of thorough professionals( non political figures) as ministers that has not also been of avail. According to me members of cabinet should be individuals that are professionally, academically equipped for their portfolios and at the same time are politicians. Professional expertise will enable them to derive strategies for different situations, their political background will keep them connected with the public and the masses, they will be aware of public pulse in shaping their policies. This is a combination that is adopted all over the world and we see graduates of oxford Harvard hired by political parties.
Bottomline is our political parties lack professionals and we as a nation lack professional politicians. It is about time our mainstream parties start to have professionally qualified individuals as their members rather than landlords and jagirdaars.

Dear Marvi,
I like too much your talk show but in your debate there is no weightage due to that you belong to that party which have no roots in public and this party is developed buy a army dictator.
so if you join some other political party definitely you achieve your goal.
The most important thing which I want to ask you is that please speak for the independent of judiciary cause without independent judiciary there is no chance to solve our issues.
If iftikhar chaudary is chief justice of Pakistan than we think that judiciary is independent cause 85% Pakistani wants iftikhar chaudhary.

False, false and only false statements.
I dont know what is the criteria of our tv programmes.
Is this a policy of our chennals……? Not to show facts.
Where is their struggling against dictatorship gone? Madam why are they all not understanding that there is not only military dictatorship but also civil dictatorship.
I must say they are not working for Pakistan just working for their business.
Madam cant we understand that it is again another dictatorship.
What so ever people want only Zardari’s desire is fulfilled. This is one man show.
Cant our chennals able to understand that what is happening?
Innocent people are killing in our country and non graduate president of pakistan is flirting( line maar raha ha ) Zardari to Sara, ” You are so beautiful, I can even hug you”.
Zardari ye bhi bhool giya kay wo marhoom Benazir Bhutto ka shohar hay jis ki abhi pheli barsi bhi nahi hoiye.
Look at the behavier of PML(N) Nawaz Sharif, A country is burning and he has gone for UMRAH.
Where is his commitment of juditionary?
Now no one is bothered for ex chief justice after Gen (R) Pervez Musharraf.
Actually they all wanted Musharraf to be gone and they dont want justice to be resolve in our country.
Now what PPPP is saying that our atleast 50 NA seats is taken away by PML(N) using unfair means.
Please people of Pakistan request you to force media to work again for pakistan and get rid of ANTI-PAKISTANIS….
Where is Dr. Shahid Masud gone? I was not surprised when he was offer an appoinment MD(PTV), actually I was surprised when he accepted the offer. Was he actually a greedy man????

I agree with that writing about any topic is vary healthy and positive activity but why people write those people whom don’t series there problem. My suggestion is maam u have vary strong people flow ship why u not providing them leadership to people want new leadership like u (Mustafa kamal, Ammir liaqut, shazad ray oand other) .
I am not saying u other people u leave Q league its depend u when u thing better leave so u can. My point of view is you should star meeting the people who want meet & listen u not a Q league leader but as pioneer of shadow cabinet u can arrange any conference or seminar where u contact them. only relationship with web not very strong and use full. You have the quality of good communication u make them understand what is good & what’s wrong.
In the and I have one suggestion that please u move slow in media if u come every show may be people brow & please you speak slowly & humbly.
TO Mr Shihan:
*Khuda ne kabhi us quam ki halat nahi badli, na ho jis ko khayal aap apni halat k badalne ka*
or tumhari ek bat ka jawab dena chahta hun, k tum ne mujhe kaha ha k i m destroying Pakistan, Allah karay k tum jese log hE sahi lekin Pakistan ko sanbhalain zarur:
Lekin Jab tak is mulk main Dictatorship ki baakiat PML(Q) , Dogar Court or bohat sari surat ma mojood hain, muje to kia kisi ko bhi pakistan ko tabah karne ki zarurat nahi hai, America ko bhi nhai, Understand Mr???
tumhare ideal ka dialogue court kar raha hun jo woh awam ko emotional karne k liye kehta tha, bloody liar, ek taraf Mulk ko tabah karta gaya or doosri taraf kehta hai,

bloody fraudiya…..
“i respect President Musharraf for his many achievements for Pakistan”. marvi what achievements are you talking of.see the state pakistan is in today.your mentor musharraf is responsible for it lady.i am surprised that people still think you can bring change. you are a person who supports a dictator.he destroyed institutes.pushed the country to the brink of a civil war.you in your talk shows talk about soveriegn territorial integrity and yo ur foreign m inister says you people allowed US UAV’s to strike inside pakistan. “In my opinion President Musharraf was no dictator because he was elected by PML majority votes”.what majority votes.that dummy assembly was almost through with its term.who gave you the mandate to impose an incompetent man over us for next five years.that assembly had no mandate.even your president shujaat hussain,kasuri,sheikh rasheed wasi zafar noone was re-elected and you elcted a president.how could you.and as far as bitter comments are concerned, you must answer this nation for your 5 years…you cant escape just by labeling some comments as useless.you are answerable to people.this is not your corporate world.people want explanations.
hey whoever you are.give us a break,new leadership like mustafa kamal.the henchman of altaf hussain,the biggest criminal. murderer.a person who openly opposed the idea of pakistan in india(see the video)and marvi’s party stood with him for 5 years.amir liaquat, a pseudo intellectual.misleading people about religion and who is in controversy over s aying insulting things about sahaba(RA),if this is your new leadership then may Allah be with you.
I just would like to request to you that whatever you say or whatever you do PLEASE KEEP ONE THING IN YOUR MIND, WE HAVE TO ANSWER TO ALLAH ALMIGHTY, AND NO ONE ELSE.
If there is no Pakistan, there is nothing left !!!.
Miss Marvi ,
i hope you read all the posts , n if you do hats off , bcz it took me an hour to read all the post of a single day
@ Miss Amnah
please be constructive , find your own role in the society and do it , blaming will only lead us to more blames more fingers pointing at each other and nothing else
But one thing is for sure even an ANTI MQM cant deny this fact that Mr. Mustafa Kamal has done a lot for Karachi ( do i need to proove this ?)
and if you blame someone please do give proofs (if you have paste the links over here )
its just my advice ,
tc
Allah Hafiz
Hi Amna:
I was truly amazed and disappointed to read your biased mail against MQM, and more so about Mustafa Kamal who has literally changed the face of Karachi. Reading your venomous mail, I can safely assume that you’re a nationalist and, ideally, an extremist! Or maybe that you’re not a non-Karachiite. True, MQM’s track record is not such that it should be awarded any gold scores, not should its leadership be termed as “intellectual” or “educated” in true sense of the term. More ominously–and maybe–rightly so, it has been termed as a party of “bhai log” or “underworld”, which may have a semblance of truth and veracity. However, gauging all its people with the same yardstick is not fair, and reflects an acute dearth of understanding on your part about the ground realities. There’s simply no disputing the fact that Mustafa Kamal has turned out to be an extremely able and competent mayor and his services for the city has been widely appreciated by all and sundry, both by a Karachiite and a non-Karachiite. What’s more heartening is that Ardeshir Cowasji, the hard-hitting columnist and MQM’s harshest critic has been all praises for the man. My only advice to you, therefore, is that instead of using your heart to present your vitriolic and senseless arguments, make use of your brains and be aware of the facts and figures. No other political party in the checkered history of Pakistan would have served this city–and country–better than MQM. And also, try to pull yourself from the vicious trap of religion, and have an inclusive approach to deal with things.
Its nice to see you as an educated female in Politics of Pakistan. In such politics, where unfortunately people don’t understand what is real dictatorship and what is democracy..
I run my small company of Website solutions http://www.zuhainnovation.com, and student of BBA in Faisalabad. I have few ideas related to youth empowerment and young entrepreneurship promotion. I have no access to government. Even yahoo.com and businessweek.com wrote about me as a young entrepreneur from Pakistan. And i did not receive a single appreciation certificate from Government of Pakistan. You can see all my achievements of last 2 years on my blog: http://www.hassaankhan.com .. I’m looking forward to hear from you …..
hi syed adeel ahmed,
well first of all i would request you to use YOUR brain sir. your mayor has not been able to control the street crime in the city.the street crime is ever increasing.what did he do to prevent the massacare of 12th may..nothing..bcos his boss the altaf bhai wanted the blood shed.what has MQM done for khi?.turning it into an underworld..they are actually using khi to blackmail other parties into accepting them into their folds.they are power hungry and have no ethics.they stood with q-league for 5 years and then when they could not offer them anything they simply changed boats.for me MQM is a party of thugs and oppurtunists and it is lead by a man who openly opposed pakistan in india(if you saw the video on geo tv).i have my own opinion and i want you to keep your opinion to yourself and dont call others brainless because tehy dont agree with you. and secondly sorry to say that but it seems you have been bred in a way that you consider religion a trap, and i am bred in a way that i consider religion a way of life. i can only pitty a “syed” like you who considers his faith a vicious trap. DOWN WITH MQM AND DOWN WITH ALL HYPOCRATES WHO DO NOT HAVE THE COURAGE TO STAY AWAY FROM POWER FOR ONE DAMN TERM
hi omar feroze shaikh,
i guess you did not see the footage of altaf hussain’s speech in india(delhi) which was showed on capital talk. well you can always find it on youtube, if you have the resolve and courage to see his true face.best of luck
Salaam,
Ms Memon,
I am interested in joining the ministry of economics and health.
The first time i heard you i thought, wow a representative of the people… Keep it up
Thank,
First of all, I would like to appreciate your policies & good thoughts about Pakistan. May Allah bless you always.
I have recently read a report from BBC.com that Mr. Zardari has said that he had given permission to US to launch attacks in Pakistan. He further said that “Indian freedom fighters” in Kashmir are “terrorists”. Please check this link. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7653687.stm
I don’t understand are we running a one man show here? Mr. Zardari didn’t consult Parliament or Nation before making such a statement. Can someone please ask him what our national policies are regarding Kashmir and War on Terror now?
Allah has provided you a great platform and I expect you to raise your voice on this issue.
Salam,
I hope you’ll be fine. today i read that you have been become the incharge of Q League of N.A. This sounds very good that a highly educated personality will perform her duty in a well organized manner. i belong to N.A. and living in islamabad. we are always available for any kind of help.

——– my response———
During PML govt the issue of dams was raised twice- awareness was created- consensus was not achieved thus decision was not taken-except to work on 5 dams-
this govt has backed off and doesnt even want to do that- i am a water expert and have researched extensively on the subject- I speak on the same whenever i get a chance in parliament. Check speeches section and browse through- whether on Indian water issues or our own self created-
I agree with you that we failed to create consensus. But this govt has not even tried. anyway, the dams there was consensus on should be fast tracked immediately. We should push for that in phase 1. the issues are technical and not political. every govt makes them political. Till technically you cant convince all provinces of certain facts we will see in action on this front. There are technical deficiencies and at the right time we will discuss these.
For the moment i am trying to push for those dams which have no consensus issues and are technically OK. There are royalty issues for Bhasha Diamir which need resolving, whether the headworks fall in NWFP or Gilgit-Baltistan (GB). We must give to GB if we are taking land from them for this purpose… Anyway more on it later. Need to run for a meeting
Assalam U Allikum!
Dear Marvi.
How are you?
i wish you all the best for your hard work, and may Allah give you success in every step(if really positive ,if really for all pakistanis , not for fame) you take

Is it the avidity of fame???
and please please iss baar koi naya drama naa karian paki’s se bz we breaked already alot.we want to request you that plz plz plz leave PML(Q) bz u have good thoughts and PML(Q) have fake promises,fake personalities so if u love pakistan then leave fake company.thanx
Best reagrds,
Saud
I really liked your view on Hamid Mir’s show and your honest criticism. I am only writing to you because you are one of the very few educated and patriotic Pakistanis in the National Assembly and I have been told that you take positive criticism seriously.
Many have a lot of admiration for your hard work and determination. However the minute you start supporting Musharraf, people stop taking you seriously and it undermines your own credibility. Musharraf was a dictator, who was extended legitimacy through a sham election and, in his last days, he was one of the most hated people in the history of Pakistan – as the rest of this message will hopefully show.
It is a well known fact that the 2002 elections – which gave Musharraf legitimacy were rigged to the core – as confirmed by the architect of the rigging himself (Maj-Gen Ehtesham Zamir in this News Item : http://www.thenews.com.pk/top_story_detail.asp?Id=13159) and also by many international orgaisations (http://www.ipcs.org/countIssueBrief.jsp?issue=59 ). Musharraf was hence never legitimately elected and lies on your part have already hurt your party’s position. According to the last survey conducted by the IRI (details can be seen here: http://www.iri.org/mena/pakistan/2008-07-16-Pakistan.asp / PDF document here: Graphs and Charts ), following was the approval of your party people. None of them were more popular than 10 % ! This was also manifested in the election results (Page 48 of the above document).
The highest in the ratings were for Nawaz Sharif:
Nawaz Sharif 82 % positive
Two people who have been a victim of your government :
AQ Khan 76 % positive
Iftikhar Chaudhry 65 % positive
And even Asif Zardari and Yousaf Raza Gilani had higher approval ratings than anyone from PML-Q , 45 % and 64 % respectively. (Page 48). This is simply because of your party’s unending support of Musharraf and his coup against the judiciary of Pakistan.
If the PML-Q truly wants to be a party of the people it must take up the cause of the people. The reason why Nawaz Sharif is popular today and why Musharraf is not is because pretty much all of Pakistan wants the Supreme Court to be returned to Nov 2 position. Contrary to what you politicians might think, the restoration of the Nov 2nd judiciary is an important issue for us Pakistan – the same poll suggests 86 % of Pakistan considers restoration of the Supreme Court through an executive order an issue important to them (Page 22 , IRI Charts and Graphs, Pakistan July 2008). Since the PML-N is the only party that is championing the cause of the people it has won the populist thunder. And of course it will help them a lot in the next elections.
The current disagreement between the PPP and PML-N over the judges issue is a window of opportunity for the PML-Q to regain its lost position and return back with a bang. If the PML-Q apologises to the nation for its support of Musharraf and its complicity in destruction of Pakistan’s court – which 86 % say is very important to them – many like myself who would are completely anti-PML-Q will start taking your party more seriously. After all the sole objective of a political party is to work for the desires of the people and this is exactly what your party will be doing by taking up the judges issue in its agenda.
Pakistanis tend to have a very short term memory and are oft-forgiving. They forgave Nawaz Sharif because he took up the issue most important to them and it comes as a little surprise that he is the most popular politician alive in Pakistan today. If the PML-Q is able to present a resolution for the restoration of the Nov 2nd in the National Assembly and gets it approved from the house, it will be remembered as the party which saved Pakistan’s judiciary and not cronies of a failed dictator – as per its current image.
This, of course, is written only for your own good and the future of your party so you should probably take it seriously. All stats and newspaper items are credible and representative of Pakistani sentiment and appropriately cited.
Assalam alaikum
Maam
i have some opinion why not you make young party and like Pak youth party and itself run that party , in my though mostly young generation youth come in your party , your pervious party can’t do what you like and though , PML mostly are munafiq , two face people so its better you make young blood party those change system rather then only talk , may be you know young blood more powerful then old people those take out poor people blood.
second in my opinion ,only give seat of those people who really want to help pakistan rather then take out blood of poor peoples, give MPA & MNA seat only those give time and money to their own country, like state bank issue Dollar or foreign currency certificate and businessmen buy that certificate with guarantee, we select MPA or MNA selection wise , first they show their all property and bank balance openly and after 5 year audit through media and offical audit company
its only way we regret munafiq in our track otherwise again and again same munafiq come and take out blood of poor people
sorry if you mind that i point out your party and other party munafiq nature
we can built up our pakistan more strong and safe place foreigner for tourism
Dear Amna:
First off, controlling street crimes is not the sole responsibility of the mayor. He, or the chief minister of the province, can only direct the law enforcement agencies to pre-empt or contain such incidents and apprehend the culprits. So the responsibility basically lies with the police, not the mayor. And by the way, what proof do you have that MQM was only responsible for what happened on May 12? Were the other political parties on the very day not active and armed? Is MQM the only party to have the stockpile of weapons and to blame for all the sins the others may have committed. Here, it should not be taken to mean that I’m in any way in favor of the MQM. Not in the least. In fact, I myself have been sternly opposed to its policy of coercion and resort to force and its gung-ho approach to dealing with even some of the trivial matters that otherwise could be resolved through dialogue and negotiation. All I’m trying to say is that it’s not fair to shift all the blame and pass the buck on MQM. As regards your point that MQM has been the coalition partner of PML-Q, I would like to ask you if there’s any harm in having done that. Isn’t it what you call politics? People who were once Jammatt-e-Islami bedfellows have now joined PML-N; people who once were staunch supporters of PPP have now coalesced with some other political party. So, politics is an altogether different ballgame, and, as you rightly said, smacks of utter hypocrisy and double standards. Again, for all this, is passing the buck on MQM justified? Anyways, it has been nice to interact with you. I hope my logical and rational arguments would have done enough to help you shed off the wrong perception you’ve developed about certain things. For further clarity on religion, politics and other sensitive issues, could we have a conversation on phone? You can see my number on the page.
Excuse me Madam Amna i think you have some personal argumetns with the MQM other wise there is nothing like it… anways if somebuddy force you to do like this so what you will do.. I mean of some one attack on you so what you will do for your own safety… this is the same whatever MQM did…. and let me know which party have’nt the weapons and so called AMMAAN COMMEITY… and its start from the Jamat-e-Islami and PPP and your BUZURG they will let you know the history of those party who took the armed force in the politics.. specialy Jamat-e-Islami (Jin ka Islam say koi WASTA hee nahi hay)
Dont mind and regads and one thing also i am not supporter of MQM i am just analayzing the TRUTH
Faheem
Pakistan’ economy is sinking like the titanic and all this govt can do is wait and watch.Ruppee is about to touch 79 today against the dollar as a lot of business people including myself decide about their future in this country.Our Bank reserves have dropped down to 8.1 billion dollars ,a decline of around 680 million in just a week.Government borrowing has gone up by more than a 100% in the current fiscal year compared to the same period last year.. that too when govt promised that it would cut down its borrowing from the sbp.This is clearly an alarming situation for the business community in Pakistan ,we are not sure whether to keep our money in ruppees or buy dollars as some experts are predicting that ruppee will depreciate to 90 against the dollar in the coming weeks.The saudi oil facility has not materialized ,some reports are saying that saudis are not happy with the ouster of Musharraf.Friends of Pakistan conferrence has not produced anything meaningful …and with the our biggest provider of aid America in financial crisis and attacking us on our borders ,i think all hell is about to break lose here economically .I hope I am wrong and our economic situation does improve in the coming weeks.
Musharraf did not elect to be the President. He was made President by chain of events initiated by the most stupid of all prime ministers’ in the history of Pakistan.
I am tired of people some how blaming the action, but forgetting the people who created the situations where people like Musharraf are forced to take actions which are not legal.
People condemn Musharraf for aligning Pakistan with the USA. Why are you not condemning Gilani and Zardari for doing the same.
Do you know why they are aligning with the USA, the reason is that every one in Power knows that the expectations and needs of the Pakistanis ( investment to create jobs, health technology for better health, strong defence i.e. armament for the army, ships for the navy, planes, engine parts, oil refineries, infrastructures aid (world bank, ADB, project loans and grants needed for the development of Pakistan) food aid in emergency situations and higher education, access to knowledge all flows from the western world and the tap of this reservoir is controlled by the USA.
Even the Saudis wont sell you oil on deferred payments unless USA allows it ( some muslim brotherhood this is).
Musharraf let it be known in plain language that this is the cause and its in our interest to befriend USA. He dreamt a future and took actions to provide that future for Pakistanis.
The politicians keep saying that they will solve our problems. They never give us a plan for a better future. They dont talk about creating a middle class. They dont talk about education, they dont talk about health, they dont talk about poverty eleviation, they are wasting time on acquiring power.
Musharraf delivered on every promise he made. Now people will say he didnt keep this or that political promise. I would submit that he did a lot in eight years in a country where in 1999 there were less than $300 million dollars in reserves, that the salaries had not been paid to teachers and governement employees salaries were in arrears. We were paying 4 billion dollars yearly in debt repayment. With no income. Everyone in Pakistan was selling their property and trying to leave for good as they had lost faith in a future where they could live and bring up their children in country with a future.
Musharraf gave that. Foreign investment started trickling in, and became a stream. Last year there was close to $7 billion dollars in foreign investments therefore, the Pakistanis didnt know that there was a trade deficit.
The government could go to financial markets and raise any money they wanted because the international financial instututions had faith in a future of Pakistan.
One year later, how things are different.. not because we have a president who is inter fail, or a prime minister who is more comfortable talking about indian movies actors than policy. Not because they dont have a enough elected people in their party who can hold portfolios and run ministries.
Not because the governement spends more time abroad and are running the country on a part time basis. I dont think it is also not because they dont even represent the aspirations of PPP or PML(N) PML is not in power so i am not including them.
Honestly, they were running the government for eight years and there was development all around and modernization all around. But then we are not judging parties on ability to deliver. We judge parties on ability to hold our interest, emotional and ethnic affiliations.
PML has to do the same… so Marvi has passion she doesnt reason, she accuses and she screams and she gets our attention.
Shujaat mumbles so we dont like him.
Musharraf was not elected by people, nor is zardari or Sharif.
The people in national assembly are 80% the same people as in the last national assembly. Then the question is how come such huge change in numbers. The members changed parties before elections or after elections. The same people who elected Musharraf have now elected Zardari and gilani. Why do people in general call this selection of the same people legitimate and that of Musharraf not so when the same tools (money, influence, promise of power) was used to get the vote.
Hope you are fine. Please keep up the good work to save Pakistan. I have high regards for you and Presdient Pervez Musharraf. Pervez Musharraf is a man of honesty, integrity and perseverace. After leaders like Quaid-e-Azam, Liaquat Ali Khan and Allama Iqbal, Pakistan and the nation was once again blessed with a leader in the shape of Pervez Musharraf. He has said a number of practical sayings like “Courage needed to reconcile is far greater then confrontation.” For those who are using all their resources to mailne and defame you and Pervez Musharraf, I feel pity and have nothing to say to them but they are like “People derink sand beacuse they are not thirsty, they drink sand because they don’t know the difference”. I stand with you and Pervez Musharraf. Pakistan Zinda Baad.
Today, is the first day when I visited your website. Its good to know that we have some really educated people in our parliament who can utilize their edcation and experience in a goal oriented manner. I am really impressed by you and pray that Allah (s.w.t.) protect you from all evils. Ameen
I am an expatriate Pakistani living in Saudi Arabia. I want to contribute to your Shadow Parliament though my political affiliation is different from yours. I have an MBA degree from Long Island University, New York and MSc from Karachi University. Currently, I am working at King Khaled International Airport Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
As you said we have to save Pakistan and I am sure we can do this task if we are united. We can put pressure on our leaders in government who are not capable of holding their positions. Keep it up Marvi we are behind you for your support.

Dear Madam.
AOA
I feel very despondant and wonder to see you arguing against america and its plocies .The memory of Pakistani people is not as weak as you think. How can we forget that you allowed american and NATO forces to make operation in FATA , Swat and Waziristan . Your ill policies led the country to this dangerous situation. When you are in the government you forget that you will have to be accoauntable before the sacred court of Allah Almighty where no one can deceive . Your so called leader (seller of people of pakistan including daughter of the land) Mr. Pervez Musharraf and his
collegues demaged pakistan due to erronous plocies . The nation will never forgive you .
I do know my comments will not affact you because you don’t have “Zameer”.
I watch some programs where you spoke as a guest. Your statements and suggestions shows your understanding towards the gravity of problems which our country is facing.
I support your suggestion to add Arabic Language as a subject in education. Along with this, I would suggest you to add Chinese Language as a subject. By doing so, Pakistan would be able to have much stronger relations with out TURE Friend i.e. China, a country which has the fastest growing economy in the world.
If you have the same opinion, then please spread this suggestion on every platform. You can also present a bill in the parliament as well.
One more thing, please keep highlighting the name of Musharraf alive in positive fashion. Our great Hero!
I saw capital talk, then come to know about your web. Look, perhaps you are sincere with the country, you can proof more if you condemn the wrongs of Q & Musharraf, no matter you are from Q. I think no need to protect Qasoori and others when he or spokesman needed to change statement? Qasoori is Qasoori and marvi is marvi, Anyway god bless Pakistan.

“Terrorist Network is getting stronger in Punjab” Governor Awais Ahmad Ghani.
TALIBAN made their presence felt in Southern Punjab after letters were found threatening women that acid would be thrown at their faces if they did not wear veil. ( 31st July The Nation)
Solution: To counter terrorist networks in Pakistan is not difficult task. You don’t need rocket science to figure out its solution. Our Local Government System offers us its best solution. In near future we will have local governments elections, before these elections we need to bring few changes in it. My suggestion is that there should be a counter terrorism officer in every Union Council. This counter terrorism officer should not be an elected member rather he should be selected by elected body of UC for maximum four years. Govt should train these officers to get better results. (This solution can’t be applied on Tribal areas; this is only for settled areas)
Qualification of Counter Terrorism Officer
He (better He not She) should be a retired military personnel or served military for minimum 5 years.
He should be the resident of that particular UC for minimum 10 years.
His functions should be:-
He should have a proper record (including copy of NICs) of numbers of people living in his UC.
Not a single house can be sold or given on rent without bringing into his attention. For this he should coordinate with property dealers in his UC, it will help him to have information about owners and paying guests of his area.
He should coordinate with police station of his area.
If he spots any danger in his area he should inform higher authorities, higher authorities doesn’t mean police station, for this purpose ministry of Interior has to establish counter terrorism departments at district levels. This department should have a special anti terrorism squad with sophisticated weaponry and training. On information (more importantly conformation) of that counter terrorism officer, this squad should take a proper action.
To counter terrorism is very easy task especially when general people are against it and I am 100% sure that people of Pakistan are against it. I hope my suggestions will not go in vain.
It is said that there are three types of people in a society, one: Conformist, second: Reformist and third: Rebel. Conformist and Rebel are the extremist elements of the society. Conformists are fossilized people, they are those people who contend with whatever the society offers them and they don’t strive for change. Unfortunately for Pakistan majority of its inhabitants are conformist. Let me admit, being a passive person I belonged to conformist group of this society coz I believed that whenever change comes it radicalize core structure of the society and radicalization brings deterioration, now I am a Reformist, credit goes to CJ Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudry and Penguin Revolution. I explained to you this grouping of the society because I want to bring your attention towards a colossal blunder which you guys such as Imran Khan, Marvi Memon, Faisal Qureshi and few more (enlightened reformists) are making. Fortunately I have been closely following you guys for quite a while and I have marked out a basic blunder in your noble movements to reform this society. The blunder which you guys are making is that you are targeting those people who are already Reformed. If they listen to you, write to you and “Follow You” then it means they are reformed, don’t waste your time on them just make them part of your solutions not your target. Can you please tell me how many rebels and conformists you have been able to reform?????????? 1, 2,, 3,4,5,6,……..1000…..? You think rebels and conformist are also listening to you, but believe me REBELS and CONFORMISTS don’t listen! one has to “make them listen”.
You need to tell rebels that stable change never comes with agitation or violence, it also doesn’t come rapidly, it’s a disciplined process and one needs to be very patient to bring about a stable change.
You need to tell Conformists that change is always “the best”, yes it deteriorates but deterioration is the first step of construction; remember the “Big Bang”!!!!!
Respectable MNA Marvi Memon! As you are one of proactive member or proactive legislative of our parliament I want to bring your attention towards a massive problem with our constitution. The problem is that our constitution is silent on accords or pacts which govts of Pakistan make with different countries and international organizations. In US constitution if president makes a pact or signs an agreement he requires Senate to approve the pact with 2/3 majority to promulgate it. If Senate disapproves certain pact it goes null and void. US senate has been practicing its veto power for a long time, in 1919 when Willson asked Senate to approve Versailles Treaty the Senate rejected his agreement and America couldn’t become member of League of Nations (League of Nations was brain child of Prez Willson and his own country was not its member). Recently our country is facing big incomprehension regarding different agreements made by past and present govts. Such as; US and Ex FM Qasuri claimed that Musharaf and his govt signed an agreement with US on limited operation inside our tribal belt but Musharaf denies it. Had our constitution given our parliament this power to approve or disapprove agreements then this confusion would have been avoided. I request you to move a bill which gives our parliament veto power on agreements and pacts.
Pros and Cons of this right
Pros:
It will make Parliament supreme in letters and spirit, superior than govt.
It will give ownership to a certain agreement.
There will be no confusion whether an agreement was signed or not.
It will give parliament power to keep an eye on foreign and defense policy.
Countries like US will not be able to blackmail our govts.
Cons:
Presenting and passing an agreement is very lengthy process, if both Houses of Parliament have to evaluate it then it will take long time to approve or disapprove it, this process can prove to be a set back for certain agreements and pacts which need swift execution.
Marvi Memon Sahiba, I want to join your “Solution Hunt”, in above paras I spotted a problem and gave you solution. I hope you will consider my humble request coz you are part of Parliament and parliament exercises its powers through its members. In future I will give you more solutions if you encourage me. You can have opinions on this issue through your write to Marvi memon page.
I was really shocked to know that you are a member of PML (Q), which is working under supervision of Pervez M or Ch. Shuja’at or Pervez I. It was really strange for me that you are a foreign qualified person and working with those three persons who are lacking mental strength. Neither they have their own vision nor decision making power.
I will pray for you and all educated personalities.
Ms. Marvi,
We need to improve our technical education
I think people at times forget or fail to understand the importance of it.
So we need to build more technical schools
At current, there is a dept. in St. Patricks High School doing this job.
Another important issue is that hundreds of new private schools have opened in every nook and corner and nobody is keeping a check on them , i dont know how they get registered.
they dont have enough capacity , their teaching staff is poor , and they don’t even fulfill the basic demands.
a layman is unable to differentiate between these type of schools.
In this way kids are not getting the basics that a primary education should provide.
please look at this matter aswell as i already put this point before that only our education can improve the situation that we are facing now
Has the education minister appointed someone to solve these issues or will they still remain neglected
I appreciate the effort that you’re putting in here by making everything manifested. However I have a couplf of questions, which I would like you to answer:
1. Do you actually get paid to do the talkshows or is it pro bono work?
2. Since you have been attending quite a few iftar dinners and the like with President Musharraf, would you like to apprise us his welfare, what is he up to, what are his immediate and long term goals, what he plans to do next, etc.
The next time you meet President Musharraf please tell him there was someone by the name of ‘Jahangir’ who wanted to meet him badly during his Presidential reign but couldn’t due to a host of reasons. I would love to have a photograph with him some day, Insha Allah – can you make it happen? *please*
Msg for Jahangir
–
1- we certainly dont get paid to do talkshows. Its a mode of getting our political views across to the people.
2- President Musharraf is relaxing for now and is fine mashala.

Since you are into main stream , you are more aware of these things then us command men.
Asalam-o-alaikum,
I am here just to say that I heard you and other ppl like several times on different news channel.
I wonder that all of you know each and every thing that what is in the intrest of pakistan and what is not, what is good for the ppl of pakistan and what is not. But when these all ppl including you come in power then why you forget all of ur speeches? Our country is standing no where. We feel embarasment when ppl say oh you are the ppl who are begging from the world..
But It is also good that you started you r web site. At least we common ppl can tell you abt our problems. Believe me we dont want money, we pakistani want respect and nothing else.
what are these people doing on the economic front?Pakistan is about go bankrupt..helloooo anybody out there? everybody is worried about their economy around the world these days..and they want to spend time talking about fata and a few stupid suicide bombers in the parliament?.
What happen to the privatization of some govt organizations like PSO,kapco and others?They cancelled 4 transactions in april,2008 just for poitical reasons which could have fecthed Pakistan 4 to 5 billion dollars .Why have nt
they gone to imf yet.what are the waiting for!?
This is shocking …look what happening to the ruppee ,its about to touch 81 in the open market,just yesterday it was trading at 78.8.
And Mr Zardari is asking for 100 billion dollar in aid from foreign countries ?is this guy on crack?may be he thinks foreign countries are like Sultan Rahi if they don’t give him money ,he can order their killing.All this guy is good for is making stupid statements and flirting with blondes..wow what a leader.
Hope you all had a Happy Eid.Good to be back after Eid……
SHEHRYAR I HOPE U HAD ANOTHER SAD EID AS A SCUM LIKE U ALWAYS WILL…
I BET THE EX-SERVICEMEN SOCIETY DIDNT WANT TO TAKE A DUMB PERSON LIKE YOU ON BOARD…
You had no answers to what i said to you, you only replied back with rubbish and only rubbish as your full of that and your finding this forum to dash out your rubbish..
Morons like you are the biggest JAHILS AND LOW LIFEs of PAKISTAN…
This is site for Musharraf supporters and Marvi had done a geeat job so dont criticise her…keep your stupid and cheap remarks to yourself…
I would love to stay in the UK rather than come to a country which has retarted and scum bags like you, in this society people like you wouldn’t exist, you have no good arguement, you just post stupid and rubbish comments…
The facts are that your a picece of shit, a low life scum bag and the biggest UNPURH and JAHIL ever existed in Pakistan..
Its jahils like you who have made sure corrupt politicians and cluless people like xardari and nawaz come back into power again…
You have no life at all, you state your in the army but i doubt it your probably a low life scum sitting in front of the internet all day who has no one around him..You probably spent your eid spreading rubbish on the internt as well,sad that low lifes like you even get a chance to speak out….
EVERYONE WHOSE AGAISNT MUSHARRAF SHOULD GO TO A DIFFERENT SITE AS PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE HYPOCRITES…I HOPE AFTER MUSHARRAF THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT THE CLUSELSS ARE DOING GOOD FOR PAKISTAN AS THIS IS WHAT YOU EXPECTED…
JAHIL AND UNPURH LIKE SHEHARYAR DESERVED TO BE GOVERNED BY THE LIKES OF ZARDARI…..
SHEHARYAR THE RETATED TOY SOLDIER GO CLEAN MUSHARRAFS BOOTS WHICH YOU USE TO………
Its funny and cracks me up to see your reply as a JAHIL and UNPURH shouldnt call others the same…
Youre anchesters were from INDIA and Prob HINDUS so why don’t you go back to INDIA U HINDU AGENT…
Modern Islamic State HAHAHA with people like you it will be a Taliban state you MORON LOW LIFER…
Kasuri admitted because MUSHARRAF DID ALLOW THEM ACCESS which is fine, if we can use the AMERICAN Technology to target Al-Qaeda so be it, if its hard for our soldeirs(SOME R USELESS LIKE U) to get to a certain cave than let the Americans Strike with MUSHARRAFS permission…So the Americans were allowed to strike a few times a year when they asked MUSHARRAF first in a no go area like WAZIRISTAN where even the Pakistan army was not allowed to enet than fine atleast Musharraf had a clear policy..not like the present jokers who say no one can strike us and the same day the Americans strike and kill so many..
SHEHARYA AND OTHER DUMN JOKERS R U BLIND TO SEE THAT UNDER MUSHARRAF WAS NEVER TARGETED 10 TIMES A WEEK, UNDER MUSHARRAF AMERICANS DIDNT STEP FOOT ON OUR SOIL, WITH UR DUMNESS ARE YOU BLIND AS WELL…
The army which hates Musharraf still continue to host him in the ARMY HOUSE and still follow his policies in FATA, THE STUPID BRAINLESS CREEP LIKE SHEHARYAR ARE U TOO CONFUSED???IS IT BECAUSE U HAD A CHILDHOOD WERE U WERE SOFTNED UP BY UR UNCLES OR SOMETHING…UR CLEARLY MENTAKKY RETARTED BY THE ABUSE SO SUFFERED IN PAKISTAN FROM UR UNCLES OR THE ARMY…HAHAHAH
I WOULD SUGGEST THAT SHEHARYAR U SHOULD GO IN THE ARMY HOUSE AND CLEAN MUSHARRAFS BOOOTS AS HE MISSES THE WAY U USED TO SHINE HIS SHOES IN THE ARMY……………..
MARVI HAS GIVEN EVERYONE A CHANCE TO GIVE THEIR VIEWS ON THIS SITE, DO YOU KNOW ANY OTHER POLITICIAN WHO HAS DONE THAT..????
THE PEOPLE WHO DIDNT BRING BACK THE PML-Q AND THEREFORE MUSHARRAF HAD TO GO AS WELL…LOOK AT THE CURRENT SITUATION…TELL ME ANYTHING WHICH HAS GONE POSITIVE IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS, ITS A LONG TIME TO FIX PROBLEMS…
ITS THE PRESENT GOVERNMENTS TACTICS TO TAKE SO LONG ON FORMING A COALITION IT WASNT THE IDEA OF MUSHARRAF…
WHILEST THE TOOOK SO LONG FORGING FAKE COALITIONS THE ECONOMY WHICH NEEDED ATTENTION WAS SUFFEREING…
CANT PEOPLE SEE THE CRISIS HAVE WORSENED IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS, UNDER MUSHARRAF YOU HAD THE MAIN PROBLEM OF SUICIDE BOMBINGS BUT DESPITE THAT FOREIGN INVESTORS WERE COMING TO PAKISTAN AND THE ECONOMY WAS STILL GOING GOOD, BUT NOW U STILL HAVE THE SUICIDE BOMBING ISSUE AND THE SITUATATION LOOKS MORE WORSE BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT WHO SHOULD’VE POINTED FEW PEOPLE TO CONCENTRATE ON THE FINANCE MINISTRY SPENT TIME IN DUBAI AND THE UK INSTEAD…CAN NO ONE SEE THAT…OR R WE ALL GONE BLIND BECAUSE WE HAVE DEVELOPED A GRUDGE AND HATRED AGAINTS THE LAST GOVERNMENT…..
LOW LIFERS LIKE SHAHARYAR NEED TO WAKE UP AND NOT LIVE A SAD LIFE UNTIL THEY EXIST..LOOK AT THE REALITIEAS…
WHAT CIVILISED SOCIETY WOULD BRING BACK CORRUPT LEADERS LIKE ZARADRI ONCE AGAIN..
WHAT CIVILISED SOCIETY EXPECTS THEIR LEADERS TO LIVE ABRAOD WHILST THE ECONOMY NEEDS URGENT ATTENTION…
WHAT EDUCATED SOCIETY WOULD ALLOW THEIR MINISTERS WHO ARE ALREADY NOT COMPETENT ENOUGH TO HAVE THREE OR FOUR MINISITRIES WHILST THEY CANNOT EVEN HANDLE ONE…
WHAT SOCIETY WOULD LIKE THEIR LEADER TO REPRESENT THEM IN THE UN AND TALK ABOUT HIS WIFE AND CARRY A PICTURE OF HER..
WHAT SOCIETY CAN LET THEIR LEADERS FLURT WITH FEMALE LEADERS WHILST THEY STILL MORN THE DEATH OF THEIR WIFE…
WHAT SOCIETY REJECTS DEVELOPMENT WORK DONE BY A PREVIOUS GOVERNMENT AND SELECTS PEOPLE WHO AHVE LOOTED THEM…
WHAT SOCIETY STANDS UP FOR CRIMINALS AND TERRORISTS WHO HAVE THE LATEST WEAPONS AND WANT TO IMPLEMENT THEIR OWN VERSION OF ISLAM…
ONLY A SOCIETY FULL OF SAD LOW LIFE, MORONS, RETARTED FREAKS, JAHILS LIKE SHEHARYAR THE TOY SOLDIER…..THATS WHY PAKISTAN IS WHERE IT IS TODAY AFTER 60 YEARS…THAT TELLS ALOT ABOUT HOW INTELLIGENT PEOPLE LIKE SHEHARYAR ARE…
SHEHARYAR APNI UKAAAAT NA BHOOOL….YEH NA HO K B4 U KNOW U GET TAUGHT THE LESSON OF UR LIFE…UKAAAT MAIN REH UKAAAT MAIN………..
PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE UP AS THEIR HYPOCRACY AND JAHILNESS IS WORSENING PAKISTANS SITUATION….
THE LAST GOVERNMENT IS LONG GONE, SHAUKAT AZIZ LEFT IN NOVEMBER 2007 WITH THE GOVERNMENT AND DURING THEIR TIME PAKISTAN SAW THE BEST ECONOMY EVER, FACTS WHICH THE INDEPENDENT OBSERVERS POINT OUT…
THE PREVIOUS GOVERNMENT TOOK SOLID STANDS AND MADE THEIR POLICIES CLEAR ON BALUCHISTAN, FATA AND LAL MASJID..THE RIGHT STEPS WERE TAKEN BUT AS THEY INVOLVED THE ARMY AND BLOODSHED THEY WERE NOT POPULAR DECISONS BUT WERE THE RIGHT ONES…AS WE CAN STILL SEE THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT AND ARMY FOLLOWING MUSHARRAFS FOOTSTEPS IN FATA…
THE LAWYERS WERE THE TURNING POINT IN THE LAST GOVERNMENTS BAD IMAGE, BUT THEY HAVE NOT ACHIEVED ANYTHING OTHER THAN DESTABILISING PAKISTAN….THE RESULTS ARE PROVEN…TO BE FAIR TO THEM THEY CAUSED ALOT OF DAMAGE TO PML-Q AND MUSHARRAF BUT AS A WHOLE THEY DAMAGED PAKISTAN FURTHER…THE RESULT IS EVIDENT THAT THE 16 MONTH MOVEMENT RUNNING AROUND THE JUDGES, STRIKES,PROTESTS…WERE DAMAGING THE ECONOMY AND HAS LED TO NOTHING EXCEPT THE SAME JUDGES THEY WERE FIGHTING FOR HAVE ACCEPTED ZARDARIS OFFER AND RETURNED TO THEIR POSTS….AND HERE WE WERE BEING DECEIVED AGAIN THAT THE LAWYERS HAVE RESTORED THE JUDICIARY AND PAKISTAN WILL HAVE A HONEST JUDICIAL SYSTEM….
Atleast people like Marvi and her father ahve contributed postively in Pakistani politics.Specially Marvi having her own website where even JAHILS like you can leave you dumn comments and also the shadow cabinet idea is a good one so keep your filthy and stupid comments away from her….
You need to look at yourself in the mirrior even the army threw you out because you couldn’nt even shine shoes properly what idea can you come out with…lol…WELL YOU GOT NO BRAIN CELLS…..
So well done Marvi for your hard work, for your ideas and appearing on talkshows and tirelessly working for the solutions to Pakistans problems and also thanks for allowing BRAIN DEAD PEOPLE LIKE SHEHARYAR to leave comments as such individuals are low lifers and have no where to go in society except finding sites like yours and leaving their dirt on here….
GO GET A LIFE SHEHARYAY….U REJECTED MEMBER OF THE EX-SERVICEMEN SOCIETY AND U SHOE SHINER OF MUSHARRAF……………….
So many people especially a few KHUR DAMAAG FAUJI who recently were rejected from EX-SERVICEMEN SOCIETY are coming and leaving the most amazingly stupid comments, people like Sheharyar and other few retired army no hopers who served under Musharraf are suddenly coming out and barking like bulldogs..
It’s funny and very strange that people have gone too blind in their ignorance and in their JAHILANA THINKING…
ITS GOOD THAT ZARDARI IS PAKISTANS PRESIDENT BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT PEOPLE DESERVE, A JAHIL TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF SO MANY JAHILS….SOUNDS FINE…
A Man in uniform brings so many changes to a country which was going down hill and which so many civilian DICTATORS that even the liberal and democratic personalities like MUSHARRAF are called dictators just because they have a uniform on.
Perhaps if the so called democratic forces of Nawaz and PPP were good enough and had democracy within their parties and worked for the country rather than their families and perhaps if they tolerated the MEDIA,JUDICIARY, POLICE, PEOPLE and their own party members when they were in power than probably any army general would never come to power…
But as we saw MR NAWAZ SHARIF despite winning tow third majority bulldoze the JANG GROUP, THE JUDICIARY, THE MEDIA and even the COAS what else did we expect than another coup…
I think people who just call MUSHARRAF A DICTATOR because he was in uniform but fail to see his achievements that he achieved more for democracy than the civilian dictators are BLIND WITHIN THEMSELVES, THEY ARE THE UNPURH JAHILS, THE ILLITERATES AND MUFAAD PURUSTS……..
Under the DICTATOR MUSHARRAF you had a democracy which gave us:
1. LOCAL LEVEL GOVERNMENTS LIKE THE NAZIMS, mostly positives came out of this as people had someone at local level to listen and solve their problems, I know allot of places where the nazims carried out a lot of development work…
2. VOTING AGE, under the dictator the youth was empowered the voting age was brought back from 21 to 18..i’m sure some JAHILS LIKE SHEHARYAR WOULD SAY THATS NOT TRUE…but dogs carry on barking
3. MORE WOMEN RIGHTS BILLS PASSED
4. WOMENS RESERVE SEATS INCREASED IN PARLIAMENT
5. MINORITIES SEATS INCREASED IN PARLIAMENT
6. LOCAL ELECTIONS TOOK PLACE TWICE
7. ASSEMBLIES COMPLETED THEIR 5 YEAR TERM
8. FUNDS INCREASED FOR ALL PROVINCES SPECIALLY BALUCHISTAN
9. OVER 70 TV CHANNELS???? OVER 70?? WHERE PEOPLE LIKE HAMID MIR AND OTHERS CAN CHAT SHIT ABOUT MUSHARRAF NON-STOP.
The above are some steps a DICTATOR took which the civilian DEMOCRACY COULDN’T TAKE….
Now just because someone has a uniform on doesn’t mean he can’t work for democracy because President MUSHARRAF did more than the likes of Nawaz and Zardari..
So have NAWAZ and Zardari got democracy in their parties? Certainly not…ZARDARI governs from DUBAI and NAWAZ governs from LONDON…at least MUSHARRAF governed from ISLAMABAD…
The only issue the vast majority of the corrupted illiterates can’t forget are LAL MASJID, FATA AND LAWYERS….
LAWYER’s lets not even start as they are no where to be seen now and ZARDARI has handled them well, only issue where Musharraf lacked…
FATA AND LAL MASJID are national security issues and shouldn’t be politicised, if that was MUSHARRAF’S policy than why does the government and army still follow it?????If they think it was a wrong policy than simple withdraw all your forces from FATA and let the TALIBAN AND AL-QAEDA do what they feel like, whats the problem, IT REALLY IS THAT SIMPLE..If the government and the army don’t withdraw from FATA than it means MUSHARRAF WAS RIGHT, SIMPLE AS THAT..BUT THAN AGAIN IT’S NOT SIMPLE FOR FAGUTTS LIKE SHEHARYAR AND THE EX-SERVICEMEN SOCIETY…..
After seeing the situation in Pakistan it becomes obvious that people deserve the likes of ZARDARI as this is according to their intelligence level…
Theirs TWO things the PPP AND NAWAZ LEAGUE CRITICISED MUSHARRAF AND PML-Q ON:
1-ECONOMY
2-WAZIRISTAN
1- ECONOMY – -A progressive and stable economy of Musharraf was seen as a bankrupt economy by the present government and perhaps the people..SO WHAT HAS HAPPENED NOW..IT HAS GONE WORSE AND WORSE BECAUSE AS PEOPLE VOTED WRONG AGAIN AND BROUGHT IN A GOVERNMENT WHICH IS TOTALY USELSS THEY HAVE EMERGED AS STRONG CANDIDATES TO BANKRUPT PAKISTAN RATHER THAN FIXING THE PROBLEMS THEY USE TO POINT OUT….
2-WAZIRISTAN–THIS WAS MADE A BIG ISSUE BY THE PPP AND PML-N..THEY WON ELECTIONS ON THIS BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY ARE ELECTED?? THEY COME FACE TO FACE WITH THE REALITY AND A POLICY OF MUSHARRAF WHICH THEY NEVER LIKED ALL OF A SUDDEN IS BEST FOR THE COUNTRY……………NEVER YOU HAVE ALL THE GOVERNMENT WORKING ON TELLING THE PEOPLE THAT THE ISSUE WE CRITICISED MUSHARRAF FOR WAS INFACT RIGHT FOR US AND ITS IN PAKISTANS INTEREST TO FIGHT WITH AL-QAEDA AND TALIBN IN WAZIRISTAN..HOW IRONIC…..
SO the outcome is that the ECONOMY which MUSHARRAF WAS HANDLING THE RIGHT WAY THE PRESENT LOOSERS CANT EVEN GET THEIR STATEMENST RIGHT ON IT and the issue of WAIRISTAN WHICH MUSHARRAF GOT RIGHT SINCE 2003 THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT WILL FOLLOW THE SAME POLICIES AND STEPS AFTER CRITICISING IT AND WASTING TIME ON IT FOR SO LONG…
SO INTELLIGENCE CLEARLY SHOWS MUSHARRAF WAS A DIFFERENT CLASS WHAT MUSHARRAF SAW 5 YAERS BACK THE PRESENT NO HOPERS ARE SLOWLY REALISING AND THE STUPID BRAINLESS PEOPLE WHO STILL CRITICISE MUSHARRAF WILL SOON REALISE AS WELL……
Kindly moderate the comments made by some members. I feel some people are playing it way below their expected levels. Let’s just be constructive for a change and have criticism in a positive manner.
Using words like unparh, jahil, etc wont help solve our problems. Please have some decency within your ranks. Request Ms. Marvi to moderate accoirdingly and ban some members who violate them.
wow sajjad’s tirade against me reminded of dog.Man’s best friend.sajjad is truly musharraf’s best friend.however dog remains dog,despite being man’s best friend.sajjad the emotional retard people like you never learn and never reach anywhere.and your bak bak resembles barking more than anything.you retard you talk of musharraf’s democratic nature.i will answer your half hearted false claims because after that you need to go through a neuro procedure.
1. women rights: a man who called mukhtar mai an oppurtunist, not even having any comapssion for a rape victim..if this is your idea of women rights sajjad the retard then i guess you have rabbies.
2.reserved women seats: reserved seats have only served as a tool to favor people who have no public standing.awarding punjab seat to a woman from sindh speaks volume of the spirit behind the act.get it retardo.no get yourself vaccinated.
3.assemblies completed their five year term because they were his personal domain.it was anassembly that was ready to elect that man second time.despite having no mandate.listen to what gen ehtesham says about 2002 elections.moron sajjad the retard from uk.stay there you good for nothing shit.
4.fund for balochistan and operation to eliminate all opposition as well thus pushing the province to the brink of civil war.get it .i am sure not.beacuse you lack sense like all faithful mutts.
5.70 channels that were all closed when that criminal took illegal steps of imposing emergency.bcos he believed in freedom of speech.hahaha.joke of the century.but joker dogs like you would never accept that retard sajjad.
pakistan’s biggest enemy are people.oh sorry mutts like you who are trying to tell ppl that they have to choose between musharraf and zardari..whereas we can get rid of all of them..i would really apprecite if someone can takethis reatrd doggy of musharraf to some vet..you have the nerve to call army ppl khali dimagh and i am sure you are some down graded servant of goras..doing some menial job there ..washing toilets,delivering pizzas or taking gora dogs for walk and you have the nerve to call PAK ARMY khali dimagh.just stay there are bark as much as you can sajjad the retard..lolz barking dogs seldom bite..and even if they do its not their fault.they are dogs after all. and yes marvi if you decide to censor my post then please do take a look at sajjad’s post before doing that.regards(not for you retardo)
well sajjad sure knows what musharraf misses so much..are you his keep..sajjad the retard and from what you write it is quite apparent who is shinning musharaff’s shoes..hahhaha.you and your ancestors..lagta hai nahar wali haveli se he musharraf ke personal khadim hain..you lack dignity and grace..i am so sorry that i have to communicate with a person as downgraded as yourself..its my misfortune..but still i would love to kick your backside to your home..retardo..goron ke naukar…i think your lonely musharraf would really appreciate your comapny..who doesnot like shoe polishers and lickers like you retard…wether i was abused or not but you sure were given some good time by your uncle mushy..that is why you are repaying him…now i know why you are so fond of him..
hey marvi.i want to tell you that you are doing a great job.keep up the good work.by the way i read some remarks from sajad.this is utterly uncalled for.how can you allow such things on this forum.i request you to throw out such rubbish.decent people use this space.i hope you would keep attending more talk shows so we can get to know about the progress you are making.best of luck
oyee musharraf ke wafdar janwar.himat hai tou pakistan aa ker pakistan ki fauj ko khali dimagh keh ker dikha.ehsaan faramosh kuttay.army ne is mulk ke liye kia nahi kiya.iss liye takay hum tum jaise bhagoron ki bakwas sun sakain.tamam muhib-e-watan log please is pagal ko jawab dain.
ukaat tu apni na bhool sajjad..musharraf ke zaati ghulam.more loyal than the king..tu yahan aa phir tujhe yeh soldier teri ukaat bata hai..impotent dog of musharraf
hahaha guess what our beloved finance minister Naveed Qamar got fired.Shaukat Tareen is now our new finance minister.So the government has admited that they have been doing a poor job of looking after the economy.they may as well bring back Salman Shah whos still the best out there.he could do a much better job than these politically motivated finance ministers.
State Bank has taken a long time to react to the recent meltdown of ruppee,they ‘ve just injected 100 million dollars into the interbank ,they should’ve done this yesterday.they allowed rumors to circulate around that govt was ready to freeze foregin currency accounts and what not. foreign exhange companies stopped selling dollars and forced people to pay more than they should ve for foreign currency.the difference between interbank rate and open market rate went too high. unless there is some aid coming from somewhere there will continue to be pressure on the ruppee because our exports are expected to decline to0 with imports in teh coming days with the slowdown in america and europe
hey diseased sajjad what society allows a man to install an unelected man as prime minister you thick headed retard
what society allows a man to allow foreigners to target ppl in his own country you b–hair–t.
what society allows a man to impose emergency twice just to save his own rule you dirt bag
what society allows a man to pardon all thieves on his personal whims.you stupid mutt..hey sajjad the mad biting dog..haan?
hello ms marvi.there is a lot of indecency on your website.can you please tell this moronic sajjad to stop being over enthusiastic about Ex-president.it appears as if he is employed by the general.i personally think that we need to get rid of people like zardari and gillani.they are doing nothing for this nation.
shut up sajjd.you also big mouth like your mushraf.improve your knowledge about this country then come to discus.he was a dictator and a corrupt man.his son is funding obama’s campaign.where did he get so much money from.and he is living in a big farm house.army dont give so much money.this proves he is corrupt.MUSHRAF MURDABAD AUR MUSHRAF K CHAMCHAY(SAJJAD)HAI HAI
I am equally dissapointed with the indecent brawl that takes place on my forum. When I moderate I get attacked for cutting on freedom of speech. It seems that most of you want me to moderate these two gentlemen. So maybe I should. Interestingly when one of them writes on my gmail account direct its no brawl its solutions. Anyway, no more low level hits at each other pls. Just solutions.
how are you and your kid??hes cute mashAllah:)…i really appreciate what you are doing whenever i get to know that you are giving any speech i do watch it and family as well…because i can say that my whole family supports Mr.Musharraf and PML-Q to an extent….well i wanted to talk to you about some pages which i made where youth is actually awake and now really wants to do something for Pakistan and will help you in knowing what youth wants…we as youth of Pakistan beleive that if we unite we can change the situation of Pakistan because all we want is Pakistan…we want to make this country develop and for that i am building a website where i am going to unite youth of Pakistan from all over the world…but we dont have any source for our back up or anyone who can take our thinking infront of everyone…or anyone who can assure us that we are save…that is why some of them dont agree on this fact that it will be save if we take this step…i dont care about my safety and also some friends of mine all we know is that we are going to bring truth infront of everyone and Allah protects those who fight for that which is right i am 21 and my other partners are also around this age…we need a leader and a political background to tell those who are scared that we are save and to guide us…well i hope you got my point i made some videos..so i thought i must also show that to you…i am a member on http://www.facebook.com its a socialising website..there i am going to start a new group for those who are making videos based on truth and i am going to provide production to them because all i want is to tell everyone is truth..and i need help for that…i hope you will…i am giving you the links please if you have sometime then do check them:)…thanx for your time…Allah Hafiz

have burnt with anxiety through the last couple of years, helplessly watching things getting out of the hands of Musharraf and your party.
Nobody need tell you the reason, but I strongly believed the situation could easily be turned round. It had to be done at any cost!
I am forwarding to you one of my mails to Ahmad Qureshi during those last days of Musharraf, to give you a better picture of what my point of view is.
Ahmad! Just tell me when we can meet. There’s so much to talk about. And all just for Pakistan!
Beyond Musharraf and politics. Time is running out.
As for the President, he always needed an entirely different public face to be “people’s president”. And if his media team
really had any competence, conviction or sense of loyalty, they must have failed to educate him on media matters or persuade
the headstrong boss to learn a few tricks about wielding the media, a Frankenstein Musharraf created and championed with great pride
but never seriously saw the need to teach and tame this reckless, brainless beast. Anyhow, if the President can now be receptive for a change,
and malleable enough, we can still teach him how to enamor the public and win them over, using this very media to our advantage!!.
This is the last hope of turning the tables on all his opponents.
Playing on the public sentiment, Dr Qadeer or Bush or Ch. Iftikhar, each can easily be manipulated as pawns for a double win… rescuing the President
and guaranteeing a Pakistan we would like to have for your son and mine.
President’s star voice must be heard loud above the clamour of the front row rowdies. So he has no choice now but to shift to the badly needed offensive mode,
to have any meaningful impact. And he has to talk to the people from a higher moral ground. Be proactive and not reactive or defensive. It’s he, versus the dim-witted, self-seeking, incorrigible political platoon of mischief mongers, riding the shoulders of hired, headless, unprincipled, avaricious, bullying
media mafia. As you know, they need to be humbled and reined in, not just in our country but everywhere, in true spirit of democracy, to break loose their
stranglehold on public rights and resources.
A person like Musharraf coming into power was sheer coincidence or at the most a highly rare possibility. There’s little chance this can come about through the
prevalent election process, given the psychographics of Pakistani voters and the country’s political culture. So this was a stroke of luck and a chance for Pakistan
to get a jump start and take a leap of a half century or more towards progress and development.
Ahmad, the President stands for a fast-track approach to Pakistan’s bright future.
The ignorance, myopia, insanity of the vociferous majority must not be allowed to prevail!
BOTTOM LINE: Media ( primarily television) is the key to achieving our goals that need immediate attention. Again, TV is crucial to run a strategic multi-pronged long-running action plan.
I’ll continue with more details.
It was brifed to the Standing Committee of Senate on Defence by the Secretary Defence that Pakistan cannot live with further sanctions.
He was quite correct on one side as far as we base our colony-ization with USA & UK. On the other side we can have a good relaionship with Iran.
Basic problem of Pakistan’s economy is its standing on fuel and oil rather power. Once the Oil prices are high, it escalates overall prices.
Iran is rich in oil. Balochistan has been using Iranian Oil for a long time when the pice of oil was nearly 40-50 in the rest of Pakistan and it was being sold in some parts of Balochistan for 20-25. This whole thing can be formalized. The other thing we can do is that we can work out more rigorously on the alternative energy solutions. I know a couple of professionals who are ready to work for the homeland and present solutions.
We need charasmatic leaders now. We donot need anyone saying ” I have’nt got a magic stick”, if you havent got he magic stick then why are you the President of Pakistan. We represent masses, we need results. Either empower us or do it yourself.
a point I want to make about a news item i posted earlier which said ‘this govts borrowing has gone up by 100 billion at a time of high inflation and that too after promising the sbp that they won’t do it.Well our new finance minister has just admited to that…hes come out strongly against this govts irresponsible borrowing and has made it clear that he won’t allow this anymore..lets see if he follows up on that…my big question is where has this money gone?,we need to know what happens to every single penny that is borrowed!
again it goes to show that Economy has not been a big issue to this govt and it has taken a back seat to politcal ambitions,infact they have been willing to hurt the economy of this country to score political points….now that they have screwed up the economy,they are are going around the world to ask for bheek.i hope they do get that otherwise Pakistan will go bankrupt
Not being completely sure that you’ll get this mail, let me just briefly tell the purpose of getting in touch with you,
which obviously relates to your public and political role. I am a media professional and social enterpreneur.
I understand the pragmatism, the psychological benefit and the historical wisdom of
being rooted to one’s geo-cultural territory. This translates into holding one’s country as dearly and desperately as a lifeline.
I see a possibility of our joining forces to actualize the change that Pakistan so badly needs. If you write back, I’ll share with you some
substantial ACTIONS towards this end.

I saw the page it looks good, as you get more feedback you should start forming a team and than as you wanted divide their ministries and let them work and concentrate on that, we should be your voice and you should be ours.At the moment i would not like to give any ideas to the present government as they will try to claim its their policies.But i think we who support you stand behind you in any possible way at any time you need us…
Salam my name is Syed Aziz Shah.
i have no interest in politics but i always see you on TV channels and you mentioned your website.

As this is federal government institute so you would you please take practical steps in recognizing our degree and reallocate our fundings as all of us are under immense financial pressure.
and please do give political answers like other people.its a serios issue and we people cant contact big poeple like Policians.

Working for a Safer Pakistan
I will not go into too much detail as I will need more time and in depth research. But just to outline the main points for you Marvi I will as interior minister take the following steps:
· Call a high rank meeting with all the police chiefs from all provinces and major cities such as Lahore, Islamabad Karachi and others.
· I will asses the situation of the basic problems at lower level policing, I will request reports on the problems the police face and the lack of the resources. After meeting with all the concerned I will ask for an action plan from them on the improvements we need to make and than suggest my improvements.
Firstly I will request the federal government for a huge increase in the police budget without this we cannot go anywhere.
Major Changes which I would be starting for the POLICE and protecting our cities in more detail…..
· CCTV Cameras to be installed in all major towns and slowly all over Pakistan
· All major government and multi-National Company buildings to have bollards erected around them and cameras installed
· If any important building is on a major road than one lane infront of the building not be used by public
· Each major hotel and building need to have two massive and solid gates and barriers at a good distance to each other only after proper clearance form one barrier the vehicle to be allowed to pass the second
· All mini trucks and big trucks to be checked before entering the city specially entering a major security zone
· All illegal people in a city specially beggers to be registered or moved
· Certain areas where potential terrorists can reside to be identified
· Special undercover police and patrolling to increase in major towns during day
· Regular checking of vehicles at night, regular checks for fake number plates
· All cars need to be registered and have tracker devices fitted in
· Special police units to be set up to focus on foot patrolling and police presence in major public areas
· Police to organise and give green signal for major events taking place
· No protests or demonstrators allowed during working days as our security and economy cant afford disruptions
· Any political gathering or protest to be staged on a non working day at a specified location preferably indoors or within a walled area
Policing
· First of all massive pay increase in all ranks all over Pakistan
· Fingerprint Machines to be kept at all major police stations
· Equipped them with advance weaponry
· Better and faster vehicles, get rid of all pick-ups which are not safe
· Less police in police stations more patrolling on the streets
· Latest wireless sets and police stations equipped with computers and finger print taking machines.
· Recruit more police
· We need re-training of police in terms of their educational training:
· To improve their professionalism
· To teach them the basic skills they can use in their day to day duties like using fire extinguishers, working closer with communities, friendly attitude, speaking manners
· Enough Police available to provide security to people on their doorsteps
· Educated people to be given key positions
· Their promotion has to be linked with their performances
· Each police stations to be ranked and given more grants and pay rises according to their performances
· SP, DSP and other major ranks should not be allowed to come under any influence of the local powerful and rich people in making decisions, the law has to be followed whether dealing with rich or poor
· The uniform of the police needs changing from the old backdated one to a better well coloured and better material, this is very important for self confidence, a uniform which makes an officer look smart and improves their personalities, the doted black shirts and khaki trousers are not attractive at all, they even further damage the police. So, good material and different colour to be used for their shirt and trouser
· No more carrying of the long wooden sticks, as we are all humans and ourt police need to treat us humans and not hold sticks as if they are dealing with animals, so the sticks have to go
· Bullet proof jackets to be worn at all times at all cost and everywhere, as a lot of police officers are at risk of flying bullets and attacks from unknown people
· Police need to be taught discipline of how to move around when patrolling and even at events like a cricket match. Standing together in large numbers, holding hands, tilting on each other, talking and doing gupshup will not be allowed. More professional approach needed, need to spread out as standing in a group is a visible and easy target for suicide bombers and other attackers, gupshup, standing too close, tilting on each other and holding hands is a serious non professional and non educational issues which effect their security skills.
· In all major cities like Lahore , Karachi a close eye needs to be kept on people and cars entering the city, regular checks need to be carried out specially at night time, close eye needs to be put on areas where criminals and terrorists are likely to reside, the flow and display of weapons need to be prohibited
· Police need to shut down unnecessary shops selling weapons specially those selling without licenses
· Police need to be given special orders on checking shops or factories and other places which sell any item which helps in assembling a bomb, all the shops doesn’t matter how many they are need to be registered with the police and any shop selling any item which can help in making a bomb need to be questioned and take all the necessary ID details from the buyer.
Police needs reforming, pay increase and benefit increase, new equipment in terms of weapons and cars will motivate them together with their re-training to be more professional and more educated.
Once a strong police force is in place a lot of local level problems and even terrorism can be kept a close eye on. Police need to be professional in identifying the problems and need to be capable in taking their own initiatives and implementing their own security plans.
Controlling Al-Qaeda and Western Border
Immediately without any delay we need to:
· Send more army on the western border to an extent that the border with Afghanistan is sealed to an extent that is possible, seal the border and don’t worry about any criticism from the Mullahs. You can’t target Taliban when they can easily cross over the border and come back and regroup gain so SEAL THE BORDER COMPLETELY.
· The army needs to spread out in FATA specially places like SWAT, talk to terrorists if they give up than fine, but if they don’t than go after them relentlessly without giving them more deadlines and until they are wiped out. NO COMPROMISE ON THIS.
· Spread the army on the borders of the settled areas and the FATA region, check the inflow and outflow in each area.
· Look for potential areas specially in Southern Punjab where terrorist are hiding and have enough followers and support
· Need to target all banned outfits which are now operating under a different name
· Specially order need to be passed on to the Nazims of each village and the police of each area to keep a close eye out on any activity which raised their suspicions
· People all over Pakistan need to observe their neighbours and should inform the police if they have any doubts about any activity going on
· No one should be allowed to give out any literature which is encouraging Jihad and hatred against any other
Maddrassahs and Mosques
· We should not hesitate, with the help of peaceful citizens start closing down maddrassah’s who only teach the QURAN as teaching only the Quran is radicalising young people and they can easily be turned into suicide bombers.
· Nazims and local village elders hould be given the task on inspecting maddrassas and what they are teaching
· From local level the unnecessary building of maddrassahs hould be stopped, different maddrassahs for different sects should not be allowed within sight of each other
· Madrassah should register itself
· It should not advocate hatred for others
· All education should be compulsory in a madrassah both DEENI AND DUNYAWI
· Any madrassah just bent on teaching the QURAN can do so on evening class basis or on the weekened, no madrassh should be allowed to get young kids to stay their learning the Quran and nothing else all their lives, they are taking their future away from them and only giving them one option of becoming a extremist maulvi who grows up and spreads hatred everywhere
· The source of the funding should be the government if not than the source of the funding should be known to the local government representatives
· The planning permission should be taken from the local government or local villagers before building the madrassah
· Any madrassah spreading hatred against anyone should be closed down
· Any mosque spreading hatred against any other sect or person should be told to stop doing so
· Spread of too many mosques and madrassah should be stopped as they are mostly empty and most are built to spread hatred against each other
· So any mosque or any madrassah’s which spreads hatred against anyone and any madrassah’s which only teaches the QURAN warn it and if they don’t comply than close it. NO COMPROMISE.
VIP & GUN CULTURE
· No VIP movement in any town including ISLAMABAD, it has to stop
· No one displaying a gun in public. NO ONE MEANS NO ONE. Gun only allowed if it is licensed and the person has it for self-protection. Even for self-protection it needs to be hidden under the jacket or waist coat or shirt or blazer BUT STRICTLY NO DISPLAY OF WEAPONS IN ALL PAKISTAN EVEN THE TRIBAL AREA.
· No extra police manpower to be deployed for VIP movement or political rallies
Above is just an outline to show you, it requires more time to explain in detail but it’s an outline and it will work.

[WRITTEN IN GREAT HURRY]
A word or 2 about the war on terror ..there is way too much rhetoric out there in the media regarding ‘the war on terror’…when Mush was in power the rhetoric was its all Musharrafs’ fault,musharraf this ,musharraf that.All these idiots from Afsand yar wali to politicians of ppp were blaming Musharraf for terrorism. And when they came into power they announced that talibans were angels from heaven and we should not fight them,so they decided to sign peace deals with them..but what happened?all these peace deals were violated and now they are being forced to do what Musharraf was doing,but only more vigorously.
Now the media has turned against them too the same way it turned against Musharraf for fighting this war.They are saying ‘oh this is not our war’ why are we fighting america’s war?.
A simple answer to that is ..DO WE WANT TO ALLOW SAFE HAVENS IN OUR COUNTRY FOR TALIBAN AND AL-QAEDA? because thats exactly why we are fighting this war,talibans and al-qaeda want safe havens in Pakistan.Do you think Musharraf just woke up one day and decided to send forces to Waziristan for no good reason as Imran Khan would have you believe.If we allow
safe haves for taliban and al-qaeda then we would be playing the same role as Taliban was playing for AL-qaeda before 9/11.
And it just does’nt end there,talibans just dont want a safe haven in Pakistan ,they want to impose shariah law in Pakistan…apeal to the religious bigotory out there in our culture as theres plenty of it and de-stablizie Pakistan as a result.What happened in Lal Masjid could easily happen again in another Mosque In Pakistan ,and if it starts happening again and again in more Mosques then you can sure hell say goodbye to everything which is civilized and sane in this country and plunge into stone age.
Another thing I want to talk about out is the glorification of these retards in our media…how often have you heard Imran Khan and other idiots saying ‘oh you should just look at the history of these people ,they are so fg brave that nobody can win a war against them’…..are these religious bigots of our society actually suggesting that we should hand over this country to Taliban because they are brave?…..WELL EXCUSE ME SIR,BUT SCREW THEIR FG BRAVERY AS FAR AS I KNOW THEY ARE THE MOST BACKWARD, ILLITERATE, FD UP GROUP OF PEOPLE IN OUR REGION…ALL THEY HAVE BEEN DOING IN AFGHANISTAN IS FIGHTING FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS
and now they expect us to be a part of their war?..they want us to sacrifice our livelihood for their retarded ambitions ?I say they leave us alone here in our cities ,their country is afghanistan not Pakistan ,,so go fight there there you bastards,why are you here?we dont want you here get out?
YOU GET YOUR A$$E$ KICKED IN AFGHANISTAN SO YOU RUN ACROSS THE BORDER TO PAKISTAN TO KILL INNOCENT CIVILIANS?IS THAT WHAT YOUR FG BRAVERY ALL ABOUT THAT RELIGIOUS BIGOTS IN OUR COUNTRY OFTEN REFER TO?Please leave and take the religious bigots in our country like Hamid Gul,Imran Khan,Shahid Masood and a few other twisted idiots with you.
Madam Marvi AOA
Actually nowadays I’m very busy in my domestic issues that is why I’m not writting you but this is I’m informing you that I’ve a practical idea to minimize the current security threats to Pakistan and to the big cities of Pakistan like Karachi, Lahore & Islamabad. If you ask me about the idea then I can show you full multimedia presentation but that is absolutely confidential, I cant discuss it publically.
Thanks n Regards
Read your article “Pakistan’s Growth Is Linked To China”
It was great and thats what we needed President Musharraf worked so hard to get more closer to China, the Karakoram projects, so many official visits from both side, JF thunder, and specially the GAWADAR PROJECT , President Musharraf made sure that we don’t let Leaders like Akbar Bugti hold Pakistan to ransom and not let us move forward, thats why it was crucial to break away Akbar Bugti’s hold on Baluchistan as it was effecting the long term economical goals of Pakistan….With President Musharraf in power i think China was in more upbeat mood in strengthening Pakistan but now it seems that every project and the relationship with China has come to a standstill….
Atleast Kiyani on Musharrafs advice visited China as his first official tour…people don’t realise what musharraf was working on a stable Pakistan in the long run, free of militancy and taliban and al-qaeda threat, it had to take bloodshed but you have to sacrifice alot to gain alot, only a stable pakistan, a militant free, taliban free, al-qaeda free Pakistan can achieve its long term financial goals if we fail to address any of these issues than no country including China would want to invest in Pakistan as every developing and developed country in the world has one law existing from one corner to the other, no country with places like FATA and Baluchistan and parts of Sindh and Punjab where certain individuals rule and own everything can be economically stronger in the long run because with lawlessness and areas like FATA you always have troubel spots…
Every developed country has gone through the same stage, over the years strong governments have always eliminated the resistance forces who resist against the LAW OF THE LAND…no group or individuals should be allowed to dictate the STATE…
Pakistan cannot afford to have states within the state, one law which everyone agrees on and the same policing and judicial system needs to exist from Karachi to Quetta, Quetta to Peshawar, Peshawar to Waziristan, Waziristan to Swat, Swat to Kashmir, Kashmir to Islamabad….One law for everyone,for every inch of the land, same policing, same police stations and judicial sytems…Only than we can become a NATION and develope………..
So, the so called elected government of Pakistan after giving out victory statements a few months ago regarding “how successful their government is and how the suicide bombings have gone down” slowly but surely realise the reality that terrorists were given the government time not accepting defeat.
The marriot opened the eyes of the government that infact they were living in dream land, it was only a matter of time before the terrorists used the weaknesses of the government and strike with full force, which they did at the marriot bombing.
Government wasn’t paniking when civilians were dieing in bombings they still were firm that terrorism has gone down since they came to power, but all of a sudden as soon as the politicians start getting targeted like Asfandyar Wali and the PML-N candidate..the panic button has been hit, so now that their lives are being threatened they are literally shitting it….
The PML-N who was reluctant to even give any policy statment against the terrorsits are suddenly woken up running around trying to beef up their protection after one of their own got hit a few days back, so now you get a statement from Shahbaz Sharif that “we have to eliminate the terrorists”.Atleast the terrorists have even woken up the likes PML-N..
Now we have a in-camera parliament session, what ever that is…Is that because the present self-interested are realising a problem which they banked on during the elections to get votes…
Good on the terrorists to make a self-interested bunch of individuals realise and wake up to a problem which they ignored over the last 4 years as they had to score political points and be involved in blame game.
Fighting with terrorists needs the unity of every single person in Pakistan specially those in parliament they need to act more responsibly.
So lets see the outcome of the joint in camera session, i think if they have any sence left it will be the same statements which Musharraf mentioned 4 years agao “Terrorists are a threat to Pakistan, we all need to unite and we will win and eliminate them”
Just a shame that its taken attacks on politicions for them to realise this, if they all would’ve united by putting party policits aside 3,4 years ago than we would not have been in this mess, as Musharraf alone and the army alone cannot solve this problem…
SO THE STATEMENT AFTER THE JOINT SESSION MEETING WOULD ONCE AGAIN BRING US TO SQUARE ONE AND AGAIN THEY WILL UTTER THE WORDS ALONG THE LINE OF MJUSHARRAF’S WORDS THAT…..
“THE TERRORISTS AND TALIBAN ARE A THREAT FOR PAKISTAN AND WE NEED TO UNITE IN ELIMINATING THEM”
The only difference according to the government would be that we are the ELECTED ONES…So the elected ones are following the same policy which A DICTATOR initiated…WHATS THE DIFFERENCE THAN….WELL I SUPPOSE DIFFERENT FACES BUT SAME SHIT…….
W.r.t. Pakistan- our only destination and destiny, let me say: They all need work. Developing policy for any of them wont do any thing. Reason being, we don’t have systems.
Even if I bring you PHDs to make a policy it wont work. As it hasn’t for last 62 years.
First think we need to do is to set up systems in our ministries, organize our working.
How? simple 3 step process:
1) Planning: we need system for planning on daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and long term bases.
Make that, Goal Oriented Planning. We need to Plan on bases of S.M.A.R.T, i.e. specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-tabled.
2) Working: We need to create systems for our office work and decision making very systematic. Our Office procedures laid down and explained and our staff and the nation should know what kind of rights both have.
Here, let me suggest the first step could be automation of the process which should be completely computerized. So no one can tell me that files are lost or stuck ‘in’ some one
3) Implementation : Promotions, pay raise and any benefits shall be given only if a government employee has achieved a certain goals based on S.M.R.T, as discussed above. Again make it a system. From laborer to chief secretary every one will get the same system.
Lastly, If you want to make this process very fast and need a catalyst for a situation like we are in? Do additional three steps :
1) Train Your Police! : Less People More facilities! Hiring 1000 police men wont do any good if 10 of them have gun and 990 have DUNDA? Get 20 hired give them 20 cars give them pay for 40 and facilities for 30, i assure you these guys would do much better then 1500 police men.
2) Judiciary! : Again completely computerized and automated. Hang the one against whom a corruption case is proved. (Can say this just for the fun of it) Do this via supreme judicial council, as the constitution says not the supreme court.
3) Education: I am not talking about schooling! Tell people what there right are. What government have to provide them. How can they walk into a government office and tell their servants to serve them. Also tell them what will they get if they pay taxes. Be S.M.A.R.T, this means, give them what you promise them… and they will pay tax, i promise!
Do all of the above.. and if we don’t become the “Greatest Nation In the World” as Quaid Said, then hang me please.
All of these three’s are obviously based on : Unity , Faith and Discipline.
Another freak in the name of sheharyar producing utter nonsence the guy must be a loner low life belonging to the GUTTER SOCIETY of Pakistan sajjad you are correct a guy abused badly all his life by his uncles polished shoes in the army living in as a scum and a bum chum in his kachi abaadi somewhere in waziristan FAGGUT.
Marvi, please bring back Musharraf and save this country from the pseudo democrats, plunderers, and fake leaders. Musharraf was the only savior; he was the only solution to the myriad problems facing Pakistan today; he had a personality, charm, poise and charisma and a good sense of humor; he was an honest and dedicated man, a hardcore military strategist. This fudged democracy had led the country to nowhere; leadership is nowhere in sight and looters are ruling the roost. For Heaven’s sake, use your resources and bring him back.
Power crisis Feared by 2008-09
By Aamir Ahsan Khan
DM HS&E
Gul Ahmed Energy Ltd.
The country is facing energy crisis due to rising electricity demand which enters into double digit figure following increasing sale of electrical and electronic appliances on lease finance.
“The country may face energy crisis by the year 2007-08 following healthy growth of 13 per cent in electricity demand during the last quarter, which will erode surplus production in absence of commissioning of any new power generation project during this financial year,” informed sources told The Nation.
As per Pakistan Economic Survey 2003-04, electricity consumption has increased by 8.6 per cent during first three-quarter of last fiscal year. However, a top level WAPDA official maintained that electricity demand surged up to 13 per cent during last quarter.
The survey said household sector has been the largest consumer of electricity accounting for 44.2 per cent of total electricity consumption followed by industries 31.1 per cent, agriculture 14.3 per cent, other government sector 7.4 per cent, commercial 5.5 per cent and streetlight 0.7 per cent.
Keeping in view the past trend and the future development, WAPDA has also revised its load forecast to eight per cent per annum as against previous estimates of five per cent on average. Even the revised load forecast has also failed all assessments due to which Authority has left no other option but to start load management this year, which may convert into scheduled load shedding over a period of two year, sources maintained.
The country needs a quantum jump in electricity generation in medium-term scenario to revert the possibilities of load shedding in future due to shrinking gap between demand and supply of electricity at peak hours.
According to an official report, the gap between firm supply and peak hours demand has already been shrunk to three digit (440 MW) during this fiscal and will slip into negative columns next year (-441 MW) and further intensify to (-1,457 MW) during the financial year 2006-07.
The report maintained that the difference between firm supply and peak demand is estimated at 5,529 MW by the year 2009-10 when firm electricity supply will stand at 15,055 MW against peak demand of 20,584 MW.
Chairman WAPDA at a Press conference warned about the possible energy crisis and stressed the need for ‘quantum jump’ in power generation. The experts say it could only be possible through a mega project of hydropower generation, otherwise the gap between firm supply and peak demand will remain on the rise.
They said the power generation projects, which are due to commission in coming years, are of low capacity and will not be able to exceed the surging demand of the electricity.
They say no power generation project will commission during this fiscal year and the total installed capacity of electricity generation will remain 19,478 MW to meet 15,082 MW firm supplies and 14,642 MW peak demand.
Giving details of projects, the sources said Malakand-lll (81MW), Pehur (18MW) and combined cycle power plant at Faisalabad (450MW) are planned to be commissioned during the year 2007. Mangla Dam raising project would also add 150 MW capacity to the national grid by June 2007. Besides this, Khan Khwar (72MW), Allai Khwar (121MW), Duber Khwar (130MW) and Kayal Khwar (130MW) are expected to be completed in 2008 along with Golan Gol (106MW) and Jinnah (96MW). Moreover, Matiltan (84MW), New Bong Escape (79MW) and Rajdhani (132MW) are expected by 2009 while Taunsa (120MW) is likely to be completed by 2010.
WAPDA has also planned to install a high efficiency combined cycle power plant at Baloki (450MW), which is expected to be completed by 2010. In addition of these, power plant 1 & 2 of 300 MW each at Thar Coal with the assistance of China are also planned for commissioning in 2009, sources said. Moreover, efforts are also under way with China National Nuclear Corporation for the construction of a third nuclear power plant with a gross capacity of 325 MW at Chashma, they added.
Respected Marvi,
I read your colum on “PAK NATIONALIST”.You raise the issue of CHINA why Mr.Zardari gov is ignoring our strategic ally…why you are not raising this issue in Parliament…But,I would say there is no Parliament because,when issues are not going to be discussed in Parliament..It means there is no Parliament at all.Dynastic gov right now..????
I would say,X-President make a big mistake “war on Terror”.He did not define ,He did not take the nation into confidence,He did not take the Parliament into confidence….Really,Today the Problems due to non visionary policy on “war on Terror”…How X-President was percieved, Pakistan Tribal belt will remain in peace…OK..you give them bases…after that you did not make any protest when INDIA was going and establishing their Counsilates…That was the right time, you should be taken the harsh stand..we will not support you and shun your supplies..But you remain quiet…so,resultantely after some period UN HOLY faces of HINDU & JEWS ZIONIST’S are shown in the form insurgencies in our Tribal belt…X-President was not Tiger…and not having the heart like Tiger.
on your website you have placed Quid-e-azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s Picture and Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain’s picture ……. although i have nothing chaudhry sahib but i think instead of him there should Alama Muhammad Iqbal’s pic
I have moderated / meaning not shown 7 messages which were swearing at Shehryar using words which were similar to what he had himself used for Sajjad. I have shown 3 which were critical but not as abusive. If I were to allow those 7 I have blocked I am sure I will have Shehryar putting another 7 or more equally abusive ones. I have been extremely patient on this brawl.Plssssss…. No more!
Its not my job description to be doing any of this moderation. Everyone needs to wake up and stop behaving so immaturely against each other. Dont take advantage of my belief in freedom of speech. I hate to block and moderate but abuses etc are not acceptable against anyone. Why cant we tolerate difference of opinion. Just because a bunch supports President Musharraf and another doesnt, does not mean we get abusive.
Remember I am one of those few parliamentarians who not only has a blog but who he is managing her blog comments and inputs HERSELF. My aides dont go through these comments or fiull diary pages etc. I do it myself so that I get a pulse of the people direct… Its a waste of my time and yours to be subjected to such language and brawls. I have such important issues I want to discuss with all of you. Instead I am having to read nonsense against individual forum members. and …Instead here I am lecturing on how to disagree with manners with each other.
Anyway, I have lots to say..turn to diary pages for more real news on the country…which is what we should be communicating with each other on through this forum.
I propose the following policy measures if implemented, we may have a long-term chance of coming out of this mess. Though I am convinced that the Zardari-led
government would never do this in good spirit. I don’t believe that these measures would yield the desired results if implemented in isolation; Their success
is interlinked.
1. Take the FATA MNA’s into confidence and hold a major conference inviting leaders from various tribes in those regions;
2. Work out a detailed step-by-step truce plan with those leaders and hold them accountable to it.
3. Cary out targeted attacks against those who refuse to join in.
4. If the pact is broken by a party, find out why as there can be loose cannons. Make sure that the tribe is clearly violating it and its not being sabotaged by a third party. Carry out targeted attacks
and then bring those leaders back to the table.
5. Cary on massive scale campaign in the region through air by dropping short to the point flyers and short continuous radio broadcasts about the crime
that certain of them are committing and encouraging local tribesmen to turn over anyone they suspect;
6. Clearly tell USA that violation of our territory would not be tolerated at any cost and will be retaliated;
7. Make a case in all international forums that terrorism in Pakistan is being exported from Afghanistan and India;
8. Stay engaged with USA by encouraging them to share any hard, fact based information so that we can take action;
9. Build very strong relations with China and Russia. This does not mean just visiting them. Gaining China’s trust back is very important. Relate to them
the possibility of the repercussions for the future and work towards providing China future incentives such as a clear route to the Gawadar port. Negotiations
with China need to stay private.
10. Initiate on-ground development programs in FATA, NWFP and Balochistaan by building schools for boys and girls, and other medical and infrastructural
programs. Fund these through Eadhi foundation, Imran Khan’s foundation and the Aga Khan Foundation. Give them enough money so that they can carry out this
project in true sense and not just do it for propaganda purpose. Direct all Zaqat money for this purpose for next 10 years.
I believe by implementing the steps above, we can have a feasible possibility of reversing the course of destruction.
I have seen you couple of times on TV channels. I think you are doing very well and have established your credibility. Keep it up. ( I hope and pray at the end of day you don’t end up like Kashmala Tariq) What I would suggest that when confronting those idiots either the paid anchors or the liars of the opposition, you have to keep your points ready on a single piece of paper to avoid delays and lack of concentration because what I observed is that those anchors take that opportunity to go to others. You have to be more blunt to put your point of view and get equal time.
Your article “Pakistan’s Growth is linked to China” is well written and you have presented the facts very clearly. Why Asif Zardari is ignoring China is very clear. Those who orchestrated the NRO do not want Zardari to go near China. Had President Musharaf been still there, by now we may have been able to sign a similar nuclear deal as that of USA with India. The entire free media and the rich Gunja from Punjab spent lot of money only to concentrate against one person and sent the country into turmoil. They call themselves patriotic. Some of our close friends like Saudi Arabia, China and Turkey etc are keeping a distance from Pakistan after Musharraf left. I still remember when President Musharraf said “Khuda Hafiz” Pakistan. Most of the Pakistanis here in the Middle East know what he meant? He knew that the country was facing a grave situation.
It is unfortunate that an honest man has been replaced by the most dishonest person in the history of Pakistan. This is the beauty of Pakistani democracy. An honest man could not be advocated well by his inefficient team but a dishonest and most corrupt person is being advocated well by his party members. They are trying to prove him the most innocent person. All those who are advocating him are NRO certified. This was the biggest blunder of the person whom we loved so much. The person in his team, I admired most has been and is Mr. Nisar Memon. He is amongst very few politicians who doesn’t mince words. He talks with clalrity and authority. So many times, I wanted to write to him but I did not have his email address. May Allah bless him long life and good health.
On October 3rd Ahmed Quraishi wrote an article about SMS and Emails being sent against Zardari, who apparently has asked FIA to arrest those. I have a question what he will do with International Media on whose websites there are tons of stories. Is he going to appeal to UN? He is good at that.
In the last, Marvi let me tell you that I am about 65 and seen many ups and downs, practically traveled all around but one thing is a must and that is those who break their promise do have to pay dearly. Wait for the time.

Mid Ramzan whenever I watched Pakistani Channels on TV I found a flair of patriotism reflecting in your talks and I thought of sharing my views to which you may also not agree but since they are my views based on personal experience therefore I stick to them honestly.
Coming with political background starting from student days to active national politics a few years back I introduced myself as a failed citizen of a failed State, (which you will protest, I know) My experience in Pakistan’s politics is painfully rough full of Munafiqats. So for last many years after quiting active politics I pen my thoughts on current issues, which are published in some of our national press and abroad.
To say belated Eid, I enclose a copy of my article ” Eid mubarik, Pakistan? “, which you may like and find very near to your approach.
It is always a pleasure to watch you speaking with fervour, and with patriotism.
I am sending to you my latest column about the adracadabra of our current President. It is quite similar to Bushism, that I hope you already know about.
Kindly do let me know if you like it.

Respected Marvi Memon,
Now a days you are in opposition so,as a analyst and with your
political vision…how do you see the future of this current gov.
would it complete 5 yr’s are not.By keeping in view the severe
challenges.
Your article “Pakistan’s Growth Is Linked to China” carried by the News International and emailed to me is very thought-provoking and portrays sincere patriotic sentiments. My compliments
Many people gave us many Ideas, of which, some are truly excellent. These ideas when evolved, becomes Ideology. Pakistan was an Idea, and it did become an Ideology, finally the devotees made it a reality.
I am not sure, but from where I see, you are following an Idea, now an Ideology called Pakistan First. I am proud of your efforts and surely of you hard work. Let me say, Welcome to Pak1stanFirst.com
You are very intelligent, dedicated and hardworking daughter of Pakistan. But let me say here, as a true loyalist to the ideology of Pakistan First, if I were you, I would clam down a little, get more devotees along and build up a team. Who would prepare our nation for this ideology to become national.
I hope when next elections comes along, this nation will be voting for reasons it should!
I believe, you will let me have the honor of conversation?
Hello Marvi, Assalaam o Allaikum,
Its so Refreshing to see an educated, nationalist Pakistani woman in our politics. Your articles definately reflect your indepth knowledge, good vision and nationlistic trends.
May Allah help you in your mission. I also happen to write situational reports and would like to share a closing comment from one of my report with you. Your comments either on the forum or to my email would be most welcome. This is something I had written before the Olympics had kicked off.
Pakistan, despite being a nuclear power and one of the hottest pieces of real estate in the world is facing issues that only the Banana Republics went through in South America. The coalition partners in the new government are behaving like a disgruntled couple and its seems like only a few unresolved issues are keeping them from splitting. The PPP co-chairman, Mr. Asif Zardari is busy cleaning his dirty laundry along with discovering and claiming his belated wife’s remaining assets. The junior coalition partner Nawaz Sharif of PML-N is so blinded by his hatred of Musharraf, that he is ready to sacrifice his own country for the sake of revenge. The only issue seems to matter to him is the reinstatement of a politicized Chief Justice and impeachment of President Musharraf. Rising inflation, failing economy, flight of foreign capital, deteriorating law and order situation, poverty and many other issues seems to have taken a back seat for the present government. The US must be content with their progress as they have not been able to capitalize on the strong leverage that the previous government built through Pakistan’s position in the war on terror. The US was well aware of the previous government’s Achilles heel (Military Government) that they didn’t give in to their demands without conditions. However, this democratically elected government doesn’t have that weakness and if desire, they can use that leverage for Pakistan’s benefit without conditions.
Until now, they have gotten away by claiming the inheritance from the previous government theory. Lets see how long this excuse lasts.
The new government’s relationship with Army has also reached new lows, specially after their recent faux pas. As if the ISI, worthy of belonging to a super power didn’t already have a hard time reporting to a stooge PM that they want to make it subservient to someone like Rehman Malik? Imagine Gen. Kiyani, a man who has gone through the grind called Pakistan Army thinks when he salutes to someone like our PM, a man who was simply picked up because he said, “How High” when Zardari said, “Jump”.
Its occurring to common people that the Army’s reaction is rather soft on this issue. However, beware, be-really-ware, for ISI never forgets.
In regards to facing external threats, Pakistan seems to be on the right track. What we must realize is at the moment, we are engaged in a low intensity conflict against a proxy army in our northern areas. This war must be fought and won only by us at all cost and nobody should be allowed to carry out any action on our territory. The US has all the ingredients of becoming an Imperial power except one, the Cannon Fodder. As compared to other big empires, they happen to have a low tolerance for casualties and it’s only a matter of a five to ten years before they lose their taste for battle, decide to pack up and leave.
Until then we need to keep our country together at all cost, I repeat At All COST!.
I am very impressed by the updated activity log and the dedication you give to every issue.
Rather than giving you more advice, I will just say:
May Allah give you the energy to work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to work for the betterment of Pakistan, and may people support you in this mission rather than create roadblocks.
Basically Pakistan is agricultural country which must produce commidities at least for domestic use then for foreign exchange.
But we are failed in achieving most easy targets.
coming to solution, agricultural lands must be limited to people who having agricultural background “model of india”.
Rather than wasting money over subsidies, you better to spend that money to make every field planted.
we don’t need any rocket sciece for development of Pakistan but just honesty. Sorry to say, we people are quite unaware of this magic.
Regards,
i have watched you in different dabate programmes at tv. you only make empty slogans.your criticism is only destructive.i only want to say that the era in which we are, we cant affort it. its time to opt for uniform policy of consensus.We as nation reaping the fruit croped by your party under the illegal taker of miltary dictator.Crises of flour,terrorism,unemployment,strenghening of feudal lords by introducing nazim system etc is the gift of your party.i advice if you are really sincere with the nation then leave the Q league which dont have any revolutionary manifesto. this party is purely pro-establishment.this party is brain child of musharaf which is to fade away soon.otherwise it is just empty whistle thunders much.no body consider Q league as a political party.
Dear Marvi Memon Nothing is moving forward. Every one is criticising everyone else.No one has given a solution of the problem. Some people have no idea of the gravity of the situation. Pakistan was a very peaceful country. It is shocking that many guests I have noticed in several programmes who are not prepared to condemn on Camera ther perputrators of Suicide bombing. Either they are with the bombers or with Pakistan and by Pakistan means people of Pakistan. The Army has no foreingner all thorough breed Pakistanis. I could never in my wildest dream support the ones who are fighting against my Army I donot give damn what nationality or religion they are.
Wakeup Pakistanis and support Pakistan to hell with the bomber and the criminals. At the moment it seem that the present Government is fighting the enemy (the one who kills pakistanis). On has gone to Australia on a big mission as Haroon said to get some member for his party and charity for the hospital. The national issue of 170 million people does not interest him the other one is on the train, it is a joke. Those who are not arround at the time that their country needs them most are not true patriots. Sorry but that is the way I look at it.

Hello
i m umar i m student of B.A i m studing in A.I.O.U Islamabad i
also have intrest in the journalism and i also have the subjects
related to journalism. I read ur column in nawa-e-waqt i like the way
u r doing the job nd trying to help the gov. may god bless u. I think
the main problem of our people is the low rate of literacy in our
country acording to my information the literacey rate is less than 80%
the people have no sense that who will be the representative from
there side in the national assembley or in the provincel assembly we
chose the same person in every elections whome we had hosen first but
they don’t work for us and our country so first we should have to
increase the literacy rate nd tell the pople of our country that what
is right and what is wrong . i also join the shadow cabinet but latter
. my english is not so well so if there is any mistake i m sory for
that.
Good to see your bold and daring step for knowing public opinion in their specialized fields.
It can be first and most essential step for progress of Pakistan if you get power.
I need to introduce myself now. I am 26 years old business graduate, technical analyst, now engaged in cotton and other trading business from last few years.
we need to focus over 1 major and most important challenge. Solutions are free of cost but only a little motivation, dedication & honesty required from related authorities.
Economics:
1. Concentrate over cotton crop to achieve 20 to 25% growth in foreign reserves, reduction in jobless people by 20-30%, increase in per capita income 5 to 10%, 10% growth in GDP, and increase in education for 5%.
Figures are based upon Multiplier and Acceleration theory. If you want me to prove it then I will do it within 3 days with proper facts & figures. Meanwhile export of cotton bales must be banned.
2. Focus over developing hybrid seeds. Our lands are producing 30 to 50% less than other countries. Poor and weak seeds are major factor of this under utilization. You need to amend roll of Punjab Seed Corporation & other private firms. There is corruption noticed in this most important sector. No doubt corruption exists in all over world but this sector shouldn’t be compromised. This little sector can add maximum value.
I know you are not in power but these 2 steps cost nothing, I hope you will convince related authorities for greater and mutual interests.
If you give me green signal then I can identify many other areas which having unlimited potential and no additional cost required.
If needed, we can get rid of $45 billion external debt in 5 years. Just honesty, devotion & dedication required.
Just tell me why are we fighting with our own people.
after the US recession, Afghan president has agreed to talk and negotiate with the Talibans. also it seems that US will call back its troop from Iraq. But they have left Pakistan in difficult situation and Pakistan will be only one who will be fighting some one elses war.
This present governement has failed to protect the interest of his people. in the era of Musharraf, things were being negotiated.
there were talks b/w both the governement that ok we will let your forces enter Pakistan but in return how much aid will you give to us?
Now the governement says ok do what ever you want.
Madam Marvi AOA
I letarally need your king attention, I’m informing you that I’ve a practical idea to minimize the current security threats to Pakistan and to the big cities of Pakistan like Karachi, Lahore & Islamabad. If you ask me about the idea then I can show you full multimedia presentation but that is absolutely confidential, I cant discuss it publically.
Thanks n Regards
The answer to the question is partly indicated by the general tone of responses here from Paks. Their posts for the most part are very complimentary and appreciative. In Musharraf, they have a leader who they can be proud of for a number of reasons.
It’s a good sign for Pakistan.. Future Presidents will be judged against him. Will they reign in the radicals? Will they step down when it is time? Will they just be kleptocrats and nothing else? Big important questions for the future!
leslie Farkas
i have just posted a comment from a BBC link discussing Mr Musharrafs resignation.It expresses how we the surpporters are feeling.WE owe Gen Pervez Musharraf many times over and have a right to express this view. Keep up your goodwork Marvi.
Miss Marvi,
In your shadow cabinet an important ministry of population control must be added.
It is absolutely essential, we control our population, or else we will run short of natural non-renewable resources. Available water and agriculture-able land would not be enough to feed our people.
N-Haq
nice to meet you over here ,i would like to share few suggestion through this platform
If we like to control financial situation of our country then we must be sincere and honest don’t like our MNA and MPA type people’s
We must bring our money back from overseas and foreign countries.
Government make policy that all politication if they like to participate then they show all legal and ilegal bank balance and properties inside pakistan and outside.
and their money will be in pakistan rather then foreign countries bank.
why only poor people suffer in this country why not rich family and politication.those take out blood of poor people. why we wait till that time come ! people come out in street , beat and take back their amount from those people
like INkalab way. that is totally worse situation so why not our Government listen quite momment of inkalaby peoples.
Also make policy if anyone in Rich family like to share Goverance and rules in Pakistan so they give time and their money for certain period like 10 billion to 50 billion for MNA and MPA seat and they also qualify that field too. so when people think that our ruler are also sincere then they also work hard and give full energy to their country
We also make policy to international level that we are one nation and independent . we cant follow anyone instruction what so ever.
Only our professional people make policy with pakistani peoples choice too
because Pakistan not only Government, polication , and ruler family peoples country , Pakistan 18 crores people country,
why our government and army scare that we can’t fight with american,we don’t want fight till they attack us and make big mistake. Then they know it Pakistani peoples nature and power
we are not afghani, iraqi, irani or arabic people we are pakistani and we know our values and culture and above we are sincere Muslim those know own Izzat and others.
Outside countries peoples must know that in Pakistan they don’t fight with army but they face Himaliya and K-2 type people passion to fight of their own Mother land.
we have 7 lacs army and 2 crores young people with arm they own very well to protect their motherland.
we must respect all country people whether they are muslim or not, but we wait till anyone do mistake and try to attack our respect then we are Himaliya no one touch us.
God bless our Pakistan forever
Now again we come to some proposal to end terrorism in our country first of all to stop all kind supply and enteries of afghani people , make policy till one year no one cross border at any cost better we fix mine at border so no one cross border and no supply for Aghanistan then we can stop terrorism otherwise we doing polictis only about terrorism
thanks and best regards

Madam
You are the most courageous lady we have in the Parliament. I agree with you all the way. Why Musharraf was removed is something we all know and can do nothing about. But your remarks about his policies and leadership qualities is like a breath of fresh air in an otherwise “frozen” parliament. I have always said that Zardari is overdoing his loyalties to America at the cost of Pakistan. Ignoring China at the behest of America may cost us the only friend we have. Make no mistake about, we have NO other friend. The ones we call “muslim friends” will back off at the first hard glance from America.
Keep up he good work; we need ppl like you in the parliament.
Regards—————————Zubair
Being a die-hard fan of Gen Musharraf, I have also been following the statements of few remaining pro- Musharraf politicians like you. I really appreciate they way you put forward your point of view with facts and figures. Just read your article through Ahmed Qureshi’s mail-group regarding the relationships with should have with china. It Is indeed very disappointing the way our govt has ignored china in the recent months. Our loss I must say. We are looking for help from countries which are not able to help themselves.
Being a patriotic Pakistani and a person who decided not to leave this country no matter how the situation is I just wanted to inquire about the in-camera briefing session about the situation in fata and nwfp. I understand you will not share anything about it as you all are under oath but a patriotic person has the right to know if the presentation had been satisfactory and whether Pakistan army is actually making any progress. Further how conclusive were the evidences that RAW has been supporting these insane fighters in Fata.

” The PPP Central Executive Committee which met at Islamabad on Friday with party chief and President Asif Ali Zardari in the chair, unanimously asked Zardari to continue as party Co-Chairman for an indefinite period ” was a nerve wrecking news repot of the day. It is ultra vires of constitution, against the oath of the President: though PPP cares dime for pledges as ‘political statement’. The President is already violating constitution by continuing with his partys’ highest office and liable for impeachments along with his party members touting such non-democratic slogans. I would request Supreme court takes suo moto notice against such constitutional violations by President and PPP which should be disqualified. That makes one understand why deposed CJP and deposed independent judges were not restored. PPP-Zardari is only making mockery of constitution, democracy, freedom of expression. Where Mushraff faltered after nine years,PPP-Zardari has begun by their worst despotic practices which could put Yaha,Zia and Mushraff to shame. Only God knows how it will end, if the beginning is so despotic. The way they have crushed poor by their worst economic policy tells their fraud of being peoples party but infact anti- poor party.Machavellian politics: name of the game of deceptions and lies: destroy poor.

Fundamentals of Fundamentalism
From Mushir Anwar: mushir.anwar@gmail.com
For awareness please pass on to as many people as you can print media or any language, it’s a must convey message
FUNDAMENTALISM is a political movement to capture power and acquire control over national resources in the name of religion. Its apparent aim is to establish a theocracy based on a literal interpretation of religious laws by rejecting and outlawing all social, political and intellectual developments that have been evolved over the centuries and returning society to that ancient age which in the fundamentalist view was pure and uncorrupted by developments of any kind. The fundamentalist group wants to impose absolute, total and unchallenged rule of religious leaders in the state and society through enforcement of a selected set of religious edicts and commands.
In an excellent essay appearing in the latest (45th) issue of Irtiqa that goes in to the real aims and objectives of the so called fundamentalism, Wajahat Masood discusses the nature of the movement in as much as it has nothing to do with religion per se or observance of its higher principles, spiritual values of compassion, truth and justice. Therefore, he argues, opposing fundamentalist does not mean opposing religion as such.
Fundamentalist groups exist in all major religions of the world and in their political inclinations they are not vary different from each other. Wajahat Masood discusses how fundamentalism rose in the wake of the renaissance that weakened the power of the clergy in European society, and in Asia and Africa on the arrival of the colonialist turning local religion authorities against modern thought and its liberating influence on society. Then the industrial revolution with its concomitant social and economic complexities drove people to yearnings for the lost simplicity of rural life. The fundamentalist stance derived much strength when at the end of colonial rule new representative national structures failed to bring about the promised betterment in the life of the people. The concept itself grew among a group of Christian sects in America that felt threatened by the force of modern knowledge and related social developments.
Masood explains that the fundamentalist movement is basically a revivalist, reactionary and fascist programme with vary little scope for changes in society that may come about through human efforts or initiative. Human society develops with the evolution of an integral structure of institutions, laws and values and civilizes human nature while on the other hand fundamentalism seeks to reverse the direction of change and feeds society on fascist ideals of power, war and conquest and ultimately towards a return to the raw human instincts. A fundamentalist rule necessitates an insecure world.
The most interesting and illuminating part of Masood,s exposition is the definition of the 24 basic constituents of the fundamentalist’s agenda. I will briefly mention them:
1. The fundamentalist interpret religious commands, beliefs and principles literally and consider knowledge to be complete and final with no scope for discovery and change.
2. Fundamentalist does not believe in human equality. Those who do not share their belief system are inferior and deserve different treatment.
3. Fundamentalism does not trust human intellect and wisdom. It, therefore admires compliance and conformity and discourages critical thoughts.
4. Fundamentalism prefers the group over the individual and holds ends sacrosanct over the means. To keep its supremacy and control it considers free to take itself even those measures that may clash with the basic tenets of their belief system. An example is the resort to suicide bombings which is repugnant to Islam.
5. Fundamentalism is basically misogynic. It restricts females to roles with in defined boundaries under men’s control.
6. Fundamentalism denies to man his endowed possibilities and constant accountability kills human initiative and drive for progress.
7. Fundamentalism establishes the rule of a minority group over majority.
8. Fundamentalist leadership is imposed from above.
9. Fundamentalist decision making is not transparent and there is no clear procedure for transfer of power. Things are done in the interest of the state.
10. Fundamentalist claim the right to interfere and have the last word in all matters.
11. Fundamentalist rule cannot give equal rights to unequal citizens.
12. Fundamentalist governance is undemocratic, does not seek consensus and rules by decree.
13. Fundamentalist rule out freedom like speech, writing, assembly and organization.
14. Fundamentalism lacks the flexibility needed for political survival and the system ultimately collapses. (This is the GOOD news.)
15. Fundamentalist regime permits torture, accountability and sectarian disharmony as state policy and governance principle.
16. Fundamentalist rule thrives on fabricated anti state conspiracies.
17. Fundamentalist regime keep looking for super human characters: A character in a Brecht play says, “unfortunate are people who do not breed heroes; another remark’s, Unfortunate is a nation who is always in need of a Hero.”
18. Fundamentalist society uses secrecy and lies in place of transparent dialogue.
19. Fundamentalist rely on casuistry facts when face with embarrassing facts.
20. Fundamentalist fan sectarian, racial, linguistic and cultural animosities.
21. Fundamentalist exploit cheap slogans and promote negative thinking.
22. Fundamentalist governments soon get packed with sycophants and mountebanks of all varieties.
23. Fundamentalists adopt isolationist policies instead of joining the world community.
24. Fundamentalist’s regime is a threat to regional and international peace.
Masood has not simply made a list of the abovementioned characteristics but discuss them in great detail which makes his essay a must reading for any one who suffers from any redeeming doubts about the anti human nature of such regimes, particularly those elite thinkers who secretly nurtures the dreams of Pakistan’s Talibanisation
I believe my name is vary much there & I choose to produce this article in response to friends letter entry number 499 &also as my personel opinion & feelings too.Its vary much our war & we can not blame Pervaiz Musharaf or America or any other element for that.It will be just like as if we are trying to hood wing our self which will not be the solution of problem.Thanks Regards
Had a long essay but let me keep it simple.THANKS TO SHAUKAT AZIZ that he left a economy and thanks to MUSHARRAF that the only credible people incharge of the economy are MUSHARRAF and SHAUKAT AZIZ supporters GOVERNOR of STATE BANK appointed by Musharraf and people like Hina Rabbani Khur who worked with Shaukat Aziz are still their,before i go further,IF SHAUKAT AZIZ’S polices were wrong than why is his finance team still their?
Lucky Shaukat Aziz left Reserves of $17bn because that has helped in the last 9 months, whilst the government cant find a finance minister and while theY pursued their personal agendas the bills were paid from these reserves, so despite people withdrawing their money, oil doubling, local investors running to Dubai,Stock exchange crashing,no more foreign investors coming to Pakistan! its Shaukat Aziz and Musharrafs work which has meant that the reserves still stand at $9bn or so and we still have money to pay for bills for another 3,4 months..THIS IS THE TRICKLE DOWN EFFECT?ISNT IT?
If Shaukat Aziz and Musharraf left a economy which was given to them in 1999 a mere $500mn reserves than PPP and PML-N couldn’t have afforded to relax for 9 months….
Shaukat Aziz turned around the economy with his intelligence and his worldwide reputation but look at the current losers..
First of all they cant even find a finance minister, ppp asked for pml-n’s finance minister whose equally crap, than the guy who ppp had for the last 9 months sleeping on the economy has been changed after all that time wasting and when everything has started to collapse because the government has been busy running around LONDON, DUBAI AND SAUDI ARABIA..WHAT A JOKE..
Under Shaukat Aziz and Musharraf’s tenure i never heard anyone say:
1-ECONOMY IS COLLAPSING OR WE ARE GOING BANKRUPT THEY NEVER USE TO BEG FOR $100BN AID
2 – WE NEVER USE TO CRY INFRONT OF SAUDI ARABIA FOR FREE OIL OR OIL PAYMENT DELAYS
3 – WE NEVER USE TO BEG TO IRAN FOR ANY OIL
4 – OR RUN TO AMERICA EVERY MONTH FOR HELP
5 – I NEVER SAW ANY PROGRAMME WHERE THEY ARE ASKING PEOPLE TO BRING BACK THEIr MONEY FROM ABROAD(FOR ZARDARI TO TAKE AWAY)
RUPPEE VALUE AT 77, STOCK EXCHANGE AT 9000 POINTS, RESERVES DOWN, INVESTORS RUNNING AWAY, OUR MINISTERS GIVING NEGATIVE STATEMENTS..NEVER BEFORE..ONLY IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS..
Its basically incompetence at its highest,a government which cant even find a finance minister after being in office for 9 months, a government whose ministers give negative statements everyday THEY ARE THE ONES WHO ARE RUINING EVERYTHING NOT SHAUKAT AZIZ…
The economy is still better than what Musharraf inherited in 1999..so why dont they stop crying and work on it…
I THINK NINE MONTHS IN TODAYS WORLD ARE TOO MUCH TIME TO FIX A PROBLEM, THE GOVERNMENT HAS TO GO OR PAKISTAN GOES DOWNHILL……..
SOLUTION TO THIS:
1- DISMISS THE GOVERNMENT
2 – (A)-ELIMINATE THE PARTY SYSTEM, NO PARTIES ALLOWED AS IF THE LEADERS ARE JAHIL AND STUPID HOWZ THE PARTY GOING TO BE..WHAT PARTIES? WHICH HAVEN’T EVEN GOT A FINANCE MINISTER!!!
(B) – PARTIES ARE CREATING TOO MUCH HATRED FOR EACH OTHER AND WORKING ON POWERING THEIR FAMILIES AND THEIR FRIENDS.TOO MUCH LOOTAY IN PARTIES.
3 – NON-PARTY BASED ELECTIONS, NO PARTIES AT ALL, FROM THE CANDIDATES WHO WIN THE BEST QUALIFIED SHOULD BE CHOSEN AS MINISTRIES NOT FOR THEIR MONEY BUT THEIR ABILITY…AS THEY’LL BE IN ONE TEAM THEY WILL FOCUS ON PAKISTAN RATHER THAN THEIR PARTIES
4 – PRESIDENTIAL SYTEM TO BE BROUGH AS FIRST PRESIDENT MUSHARRAF WAS DOING EVERYTHING(RIGHTLY) NOW U HAVE ZARDARI CONTROLLLING EVERYTHING(WRONGLY)
5 – EVERYTHING DEBATED IN OPEN PARLIAMENT SESSIONS AND THAN DECISIONS MADE
I THINK THATS THE BEST WAY FORWARD, THE PRESENT BUNCH ARE TOTALLY CLUELESS THEY NEED TO GO……
MUSHARRAF & SHAUKAT AZIZ ZINDABAD
MUSHARRAF SUPPORTERS ZINDABAD
MARVI IS GREAT – (REALLY NO JOKE)

It’s refreshing to see that our politicians trying to reach public via blogging. Unfortunately you didn’t think about it when you were in power otherwise you could be more ‘attractive’ for Awam.
I read your article about China-Pakistan relationship where you are suggesting that our govt should go for China rather US.
Fine, it sounds sweet but would you like to tell what your govt did in past 7 years to take advantage of this “friendship”. I find that we suffered a lot due to power crisis. I see there was no engineering and science contract between two countries where Pakistanis could go China and participate in some “crash course” in every field so that they could serve back in home.
Why do we cry when have no power? Why don’t we change our own attitude?
people people the fact is that pakistan’s debt before 1999 was 2950 billion us$ from the advent of this country and during musharrafs 8 yeras the borrowed money was 2500 billion Us $.so you can not call yourself rich by borrowing money and stuffing it in your pockets.shaukat aziz was a con artist.he did his job and vanished.wake up to the reality.
(Part 1) Be True to Yourself, only then you can be true to nation and others.
When we talk of security zone in Pakistan we have to think on broader terms. Like firstly we have to decide a strategy on regional terms. Every region has its own requirements. We have NWFP, Balochistan, Sindh & Punjab. Then, we must see the neighbors surrounding them. Not necessarily the plan that will work for NWFP will be effective in other province too. So it should be a strategy with diversified aspects. Not the main check posts be only checked but all the cars must get a clarification status from all the entry posts.
Our MNAs/MPAs should go in their own constituencies and also the MNAs/MPAs on reserved seats at the grass root level and analyze the problems that helps in originating the terrorists bud from that area. It will be a long term effort. What an MNA can think and can struggle for may be a simple Pakistani (who has to struggle hard for living) cannot.
It is our war, only we can think of it with pure heart. It is our house burning only we know from where we can bring water to extinguish the fire. Every province has it own economic needs we must think of ways to accelerate the employment or means of earning there.
Once we come over inequality and injustices i say it with conviction that most of the evils will come to an end. We have to be in things to bring and sort out the conclusions. You are wet only once you are in water. Do not claim that you know about things when you have never been a part of anything.
For a nation to be strong it has to be responsible. For responsibility, awareness is required. For awareness, will is must and when you have a will nourish it by having faith in Allah
Because ultimately to HIM we all will return. And that would be a start of another life there.
I think, Marvi, you should block this page as it’s being used for exchanging catharsis and vitriolic barbs coupled with some very abusive language. Lately, I’ve had a chance to read some extremely idiotic, juvenile and ameteurish thoughts by some bloggers here. The mushroom growth of crappy and mediocre TV channels seems to have taken their toll on the young, impressionable minds of the “educated” people of this country.
I visited your Photo Gallery, I felt that the date should be written with every photo, what you suggest, also I read different page of the web, will commit latter.
“Write to Marvi” is the important part of your web page, but I feel that your responce should be with question, on many places I found your reply after 3/4 messages, Hope you will rearrange this page.
can you upload your “Talk shows” on your pages, because many peoples wants to watch repeat telecast or want to watch after listing the comments of other. same as for news upload the reference of the news (with cutting if possible)
Ex-President Musharraf Receives Visitors At Army House
In his latest appearance, former President Musharraf receives students from LUMS Lahore and NCA Rawalpindi. Here, one of the students, Amyn A. Ghulamali, says the former President was gracious and upbeat. He answered questions about his government but did not blame others where responsibility was his own. According to this student, Mr. Musharraf left his latest visitors with the impression of ‘a simple God fearing patriotic Pakistani.
adnan says: shutting mouth of others can’t hide reality. Please start facing reality rather burrying head in sand. agreed.
I ask all of you at 2.52am when I cant rest because I am worried sick about my country and lack of leadership to deliver this country from major crisis the following….I am perhaps more worried than you because of my vantage point and the responsibility on my shoulders…
I ask you….what is facing reality? is it allowing abusive language for sake of freedom of speech?… despite the fact that I agree with Adeel that “this page as it’s being used for exchanging catharsis and vitriolic barbs coupled with some very abusive language. some extremely idiotic, juvenile and amateurish thoughts by some bloggers.”
yes I allow it because I do believe in freedom of speech. However I am convinced that within each of those bloggers who are indulging in juvenile behaviour at the expense of time of a nation in crisis there is plenty of patriotism.
Pakistan wake up…
give useful suggestions at this crisis time so that leadership doesn’t fail you and you don’t fail your leadership!
I am convinced I don’t need to moderate because I will get useful suggestions only from now on. I have faith in your patriotism. It doesn’t matter if we don’t agree with each other’s politics. We agree with not doubting each other’s patriotism I hope….
Madam Marvi AOA
Marvi this is my third msg to you but you are not replying to me, I dont know why? Anyways I’m trying again……I letarally need your kind attention, I’m informing you that I’ve a practical idea to minimize the current security threats to Pakistan and to the big cities of Pakistan like Karachi, Lahore & Islamabad. If you ask me about the idea then I can show you full multimedia presentation but that is absolutely confidential, I cant discuss it publically.
Thanks n Regards
AOA

The Mr. 10 percent of the yesteryears is finding it hard to get any largess from the United States and other donor countries because of his own reputation and due to his recent going back on promises and his utter disregard for the promises. Zardari has been instrumental in becoming the replacement of Musharraf but fails miserably to act in right direction in that regard.
Zardari is extremely confused as at one side he mixes up the the freedom fighters of the Kashmir with the terrorists pouring in from the Afghanistan from the tribal region. In his desperate efforts to please the masters in Washington and India he is hell bent on doing anything with any thought to the consequences.
Well my name is danish soomro and i have done masters in economics & finance. i m 25 yrs old always thinking how to serve Pakistan coz we youngster always participate in protests against govt. but never come with development ideas which leads to socio-economic development. I have made a company name Young Entrepreneurs. we are providing the platform to ones like me who want to do something for thier homeland.
After that i have designed a project which will definetly increase the forex exchange earnings, social development, unlimited job creation and woman empowerment. Economic growth of every country currently based on the equal ratio of male and female particitipation. On the other hand Pakistan is 80% based on male participitation while highly educated females they are just gettin married and living normal life and wasting their qualification and skills, further our culture doesnt allow females to move out easily and use their talent. Like pathan families they dont allow their females to go out but we never know there are many marwi’s hidden in their families.
So we say ok fine if they wont allow them togo out, we will go to them we will provide them job at home.
But how we will generate jobs as current situation not allowing foreign investment. We can see downsizing rather creation of new jobs
But we have the solution by using term Outsourcing and tenchnique Globilization.
I m looking forward to hear from you. I m trying to reach Syes Mustafa Kamal to propose my complete proposal.
unfortunately still not getting any appointment. I m here for 3 months to implement something in jan i m leaving to london for more higher studies.
Firstly, I would like to deeply thank you for giving me the opportunity to finally contact ’someone’ regarding my concerns. I am an International Relations student at Wilfrid Laurier University in Canada. For a few years now I have taken a strong interest in Pakistani politics, and have kept track of the drama and events unfolding.
I would like to briefly address one of the persistent problems of most Pakistani governments since 1947. We never really had a clear, direct and ideologically legitimate foreign policy. Without a clear foreign policy, do expect stronger powers – particularly in the West – to shamelessly meddle in our domestic affairs!
For example, Pakistan has maintained diplomatic, ‘brotherly’ and ‘friendly’ relations with China, Saudi Arabia and Turkey since her inception in 1947. Now tell me, how would you rate our bilateral economic trade and strategic relationship with each of those states?
Sadly, even our relationship with China has been lackluster. Despite some 60-years of relations, we have not tapped into the Chinese market nor have we imported their low-cost industrial technology. Hence we rely on the West for our exports, we rely on the West for manufacturing technology.
Posting a solution will require greater depth and time, and I will post it later. However I would like us to simply recognize our own lack of clarity and re-assurance towards our partners.
mr irshad…wht the hell u doing here thn son?? go and support zardari and his family…!! marvi u and ur company and mr mushrraf the true leader…!! we are wid u marvi ji…!! god bless u..!! Ameen..!
as you being a young parliamentarian,asked me to bring in to your notice the issue of CSS age limits affecting a large number of people…..madam i am a CSS aspirant and enthusiastic to become somebody out of nobody by being a CSP……madam,the present age restriction is of 28 years which was brought down from 30 years by our former president under the guidence of NSC,according to my knowledge….madam, it is indeed an irony as it is helping a especial strata of the community who has the resources,connections and ability to finish their masters well intime to avail all the three ligitimate chances whereas the people belonging to the middle class need some time to reach to a level where they can leave an impression to reach the unlimited heights.Albeit bachelors is required to appear but one surely needs to have masters,in the relevant subjects to catch the eye of the examiner as its a competitive examination and every single number counts………apart form this,the nation requires to be served by those,chosen from the best of educated. lott..it is important to mention here that Benazir Bhutto’s first government managed to relax it to 30 years after perceiving the unjust………madam,there was great hope with appearence of a democratic regime in the corridors of power,to once again,correct the ills of the past…but unfortunately,nothing in this regard ,so far has been done…….people dreams are being shattered and they have started believing if only the faces at the helm of the things have been change and the rest is all same……madam,i must mention here,in the month of april,under the chairmanship of Senator Abdul Ghaffar Qureshi,the standing committee on cabinet secretariat directed the FPSC to increase the age limit to 35 years…reference to this could be seen in news as i read in the The Nation…..the chairman of FPSC made a recomendation to relax the age to 30 years atleast to the establishment division…..according to my knowledge,the concerned authorities,in the establishment are paying no attention to as they didnt put forwarded the summary for the approval of PM and lingering on with it to the level where they could say that now its too late to do any thing and will look in to the matter next year…..madam,it is a typical bureaucratic way of playing around the politicians and ultimatelely,the people have to suffer…madam ,i personally wrote to the honourable prime minister,president,opinion pages of different news papers but so far ,all my pledges have fallen on deaf ears,……no news paper even considered my opinion and published it …..but there are people who raised this point in the opinion pages…one such efforts was published in DAWN on 13th Oct and was seconded by another fellow but it was surely not brought in to the notice of those who are concerned………..madam,i dont have the connections to let my self heard where it matters the most…….after loosing all hopes,my looks fall upon Mr Quraishi’s email and only because of his sincere guidance,i am able to mail to you…….madam, FPSC is about to announce the rules for CSS 2009…….any of your sincere effort in this regard can bring joy to the faces of many……all that is required is to relax it to 30 years as a precedent is also available
our country is going through a quagmire at the moment and all that we need is fellows who have the courage to tackle the issues head on…madam, there r deserving aspirants who are side lined bcz of the unjust of the past……kindly give your contribution in this regard so that you are appreciated,respected and cheered even more.time is very cruical in this regard and i expect alot from u .
your well wisher
shafqat cheema,
I am hearing a lot of things from different sources about Zardari being crook again,some of them may be rumors ,some of them may be facts ,but all of it has to be investigated.
1.I have learnt that Mr Hashwani owner of Marriot hotel in Islamabd which was bombed has been made to pay 50 crore ruppees to Zardari as extortion money after he refused to give his Murree P.C Bhurban hotel to him.
Now its a well known fact Zardari tried to do the same to Sultan Rahi AKA Maula Jutt for his Holiday Inn Hotel in London…Sulatn Rahi did not compy and was later gunned down on a highway.
The following are some of the other rumours circulating about Zardari’s evil behavior.
1. A jeweller called Kasuria in Karachi has been threatened by Zardari to extort 50 million dollars.
2.Mr. Mansha of the MCB was phoned while he was flying on his private plane to write off 28 crore loan of a friend.
3.The new Islamabad Airport construction contract has been given to a friendly company in a backdated agreement to steal money
4. Redundant and useless submarines are being purchased in collaboration with the Naval chief.
5. Useless and discredited people are being posted as ambassadors and to important positions in PIA.
Few days back it was the death anniversary of Noon Meem Rashid who once wrote:
(read carefully because this is rather difficult Urdu but every verse is worth writing in gold!)
Ajal in se mil
ke ye sada dil
na ahle salat awr na ahle sharab (read “sirf Ahle sharab”)
na ahle adab awr na ahle hisab
na ahle kitab
na ahle kitab awr na ahle machin
na ahle khala awr na ahle zameen
faqat be yaqeen
ajal in se mat kar hijab
ajal in se mil
barho tum bhi agay barho
ajal se milo
barho to tawngar gadao
na kashkol dryoza gardi chupao
tumhein zindagi se koi rabt baqi nahi
ajal se hanso awr ajal ko hansao
barho bandagane zamana barho bandagane deram (worshippers of mammon, find meaning in wikipedia)
ajal, ye sab manfi insan hein
manfi zyada hein insan kam
ho in par nigahe karm”
NM rashid was an angry man when he wrote these words I dont know for whom , Today this applies to most of our “Jamhoori Leaders” who came to power through “Heavy Mandate” of our innocent, illiterate & poor “Awaam”.
N M Rashid was angry, but I am angrier!
ruppee touching 90 in the open market against the dollar…gya pakistan haha…we are about to become fn Somalia or something and these frs can’t get over benazir shaheed and what her father did for this country.her father’s era was the worst for Pakistan economically because he nationalized the industries …oh no hold on not according to that their ‘tatoo’ Kaiser Bengali he think’s Bhuttos era was one of the best for Pakistan economically and Shaukat aziz’s era was the worst…what a prick .
what will we do now? ..wheres the aid coming from?China will give us what?may be zardari can give us more than what china can from his foreign bank accounts ,but he won’t because thats saved for his mafia organization ppp .
they probably just need 2 billion dollars to bring the ruppee back to normal.default on foreign payments has become a high possibility for the state bank now.
miss memon
i think u speak extreamly foolish. dont joke with the people of pakistan. they are not intreseted in hearing the bullshit u speak, if u have any sense (any at all) then tell us the majors that should be taken in order to prevent all the things that r destroying our nation.
i know u wont have any!!!!!!
secondly, for god’s sake do something on your own once and stop reading the points that ur masters have given u.
u talk about so many points criticising the govt. why didnt u give these points at the time when ur own govt was there?
i think that u dont have any sense at all. u never ever give answers to thoes who are against u. and i m hopefull that my letter shall not get an answer as well.
i would also like to prove ur cowardness as u are getting ur website been used to criticize president zardari.
shame on u marvi venom!!!!!!
mr ali sid i would take this oppurtunity to inform you that the submarines produced(not procured) by pakistan are agosta 90b.these are the state of the art submarines with stealthy capability of staying under water for prolonged periods without having to come on surface. these machines have given us an edge over indian navy as far as submarine warfare is concerned.so zardari did not buy these.and if he did we should actually thank him.and please dont blame naval chief for something he has not done. thanks
Well Sara Khan i read ur comments above and understand your feelings at the same time. Appreciate if in the first place you your self would have learn to have a control over your self before you choose to comment over Marvi, perhaps you could have choosen a better manners and a better language which most likely could have given a better sense consideration to your comments and some respect for you.
Beware i am no fan of Marvi and it was totally my own choice and will to point you a simple thing which you must pay attention.Even in a free society like UK where i live with total freedom of speech certain codes of conduct are still exersise which reflects a society suitable for democracy to be exercised,let us not prove ourself other way arround.
Thank you with respect and Best Regards lv..cheers
I think you need to wake up! The Zardari group promised so much and gave LESS than nothing. In fact, the Dar-nomics undertaken by the PML-N – specifically Ishaq Dar – slammed the heaviest blows to Pakistan’s then vibrant economy! The security situation has further degraded and foreign forces – i.e. U.S. and India – have stepped UP their aggression.
Like all those ousted by the Western world, Musharraf STOOD UP to the U.S. Perhaps in his last days, but mark my words his return would begin a new era for Pakistan. No other leader has brought Pakistan so close to China, and yet Zardari can only shamelessly beg for money for his own Swiss accounts.
Zardari doesn’t deserve anything less than the pressure Marvi Memon has thrown. In fact, the ethnocentric and feudal fascist hawks of the PPP ought to be brought to justice for their crimes…especially for the recent attacks against ethnic minorities in Hyderabad Sindh.
Reform in our way of governance is paramount…the current system has brought us nothing but misfortune. It is time to look within our true source of reference for answers…not crawl to the British, Americans, etc.
I am Muneeb, working in a multinational company. Electrical Engineer and having served for 5 years in different departments of MNCs, really know how they (MNCs) make profits and what are long term and short term benefits for these MNCs.
I must say that i am really impressed with your personality. Great charisma!! keep it up.
I have heard that we have done a contract with chinese power company to invest in Pakistan. And heard of really great numbers to be invested in Pakistan energy sector. Great to hear that but if you anlyse the long term impact of such investments in Pakistan, i think its hurting us a great deal.These chinese companies are taking all the money from our homeland. Although we might end up in getting 1000 MW of electricity but at the cost of paying 70% of our electricity bills to these companies. Pakistanies hardly get anything out of it except soaring electricity prices… Why dont we invest ourselves in such profit making businesses?? We take hefty amounts of loan from IMF to genertae activities that will bring our growth in the future but i am really unable to understand that why dont we invest in our Energy sector?? I am sure that if we will invest in energy sector, it will be better for hundreds of smaller companies that will be involved in construction phase and then in the future we will get all the profits, which would otherwise go directly to Chinese companies. Because they hire their own subcontractors for all the construction works and they bring their own material from China. So all their investment figures go back to China.
Unless we apply Term laws in Pakistan … such:
Nobody can become MNA more than 3 times (each term of 4 years), Nobody can become Prime Minister for more than 2 terms (each term of 4 years) and Nobody can become Senator more than 2 terms (each term of 6 years, plus senators are also directly elected by the people)
We will have Personalities ruling us and not the system.
Political parties must have a secular mendate, and must have elections (primaries) for each and every post that is contested in general elections.
Rationale for this approach is that Politicians do not become demi-gods … which they are right now …
As soon as we get our house in order our problems will disappaer, And sine politicians will never do this plus extra secruitny and transparency I would like to mendate … We will need our Army one more time!!!
I havebeen seeing your programs on various private TV Channels but had no media to contact you. Yesterday I read your letter in the News wherefrom I got this web page.
Whenever I hear u, my blood pressure shoot up horizintally for the reason that educated people like you also speak for the dictator. The people like you, who have always personal interests attached to your actions, have played havoc with this country. This country which need education the foremost, get 2% of the GDP in the budget where defence, which has delivered zero results gets 37% (ostensible) portion. The poor people of Pakistan cannot take u into account but for God sake be afraid of the natural justice and the God, if you believe in Him, whose Lathi is beawaz. I understand the people like you get your due from the divinity but you don’t understand. For God sake stop this rubbish and take petty on those poor who have no house, no drining water and no right to live but we do not allow them to die.
It is commendable that people have access to their leaders.I am ordinary citizen of pakistan.My aim of writing u is only to convey the feelings of ordinary citizen like me. What is happening with nation since 2001. A military dictator handsover the soverignty of Pakistan just on one phone call.Military became rented.kill or handover people and get dollar. and alaas our leaders supported military like u madom. we the people helpless.
the crisis of wheat has intensified and it sured started by Mr aziz,would u demand in parliment to bring him in parliment for questioning atleast u all worked under his command
congratulations to all our hero pervaiz musharraf decides to join active politics welcome sir we are anxiously waiting for you in politics we are your soldiers it is your ehsan that you give us true meaning of pakistani nationalism hats off to you for your restless work for this nation
I am a fresh garduate from Baqai Medical University and am currently working as a medical teaching and research doctor at Altamash Institute of Dental Medicine.
I am a staunch supporter of Mr. Musharraf.I have always supported his ideas and way of governance in whatever capacity I have been,as a student and now as a young professional.The economic and overall situation has worsened since his exit.Most of Musharaf’s policies have to be continued.Policy on war on terror. Economic reforms etc
The story of Pakistan’s remarkable economic turnaround during the last 6/7 years is hardly known with any clarity or authenticity.
Pakistan’s GDP growth rate has consistently averaged 6% plus during the last few years.Per capita income had shot upto almost $850.
Incidence of poverty had declined from 34% to 25 %,Unemployement rate had gone down to 6.2 %.The size of our economy almost doubled.
Pakistan was on the verge of default in May 1998.
Exports have almost doubled attaining a level of $18 billion in 2006.
Forex reserves have risen to $ 13 billion/$14 billion
In recent years oil and gas exploration activity stepped up and constant discovery and production from new gas fields have given a a boost to growing needs of energy.
Telecommunication has seen a boom since private sector companies were allowed licenses to operate cellular phones.
Long distance loop monoply of PTCL has been broken
$8 billion investment was brought in Pakistan in 2007.
It is assumed that approx 64 billion enetered Pakistan during the last 7 yrs.
Despite all these reforms Pakistan is still facing challenges. More than 1/4th of the population livs below the poverty line.Access to quality education and healthcare is limited. There is high unemployment and underemployment.But we have to work even harder to overcome these deficiences and constraints.
To bring economic stability I think no 1 the Govt should come up with a concrete plan.(to bring in credibility) Everyone has promised Pakistan that they will give them money but no friend of Pakistan has yet given any.
We need to provide them with a solid economic plan and policy so that they can trust us.
Some economic measures like tax on agriculture, taxes on real estate transactions and taxes on stock markets should be taken.
A major share forex goes in oil imports. We have to reduce that cost to survive. Maximum concentration should be on oil exploration(minerals), we know we have it in our country.We have to do the utmost efforts to do this, whatever it takes its the question of our survival. And in the mean time look for alternate energy sources like solar energy, CNG etc etc to meet our energy demands.
We need to ban ( or inc duty) the import of luxury cars and items in our country, to save feul and forex.

My Dear Marvi Memon Sahiba , ASSALAM-O-ALAIKUM
I keep saw your many TV Channels talks really liked it.
First of all Registered my e-mail in your website
and Inshallah I will keep on given you different news about
Pakistan.
I have educated from CADET COLLEGE,PETARO From Class 8 to Class 12 lateron got Graduate from KARACHI UNIVERSITY
my batch mate is ASIF ALI ZARADRI KIT NO 991 /JINNAH HOUSE CADET COLLEGE,PETARO 1966-74
Now I am Planning to written a Bio-Grapahy on my batch mate ASIF ALI ZRADRI he joined in Class 7 and myself joined in Class 8
in the year August 1966 and my last meeting taken place at the Hospital of NRB ISLAMABAD CHAIRMAN’S HOSPITAL(DR ASIM HUSSIAN)DR.ZIAUDDIN UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL CLIFTON KARACHO ON 13/7/2004 When Asif Ali Zardari was released on BMW cases.
actually DR ASIM HUSSIAN AND CH.ZAKA ASHRAF PRESIDENT & CEO ZARAI TARQATI BANK ISLAMABAD both are my batch mate
I was truely Sad when ex President Sir Musharraf resigned. I felt that it was a sad and dark day for this nation as the only hope for betterment and for a proper standing in this world resigned.I still have hope left, my heart always goes out when i think about General Musharaf as he was the best and he will always be the best in my eyes, in my heart and in my mind.He believed blindly in this countries betterment, without any selfishness, he gave honesty and sincerity to the people of the nation, expecting understanding and acceptance in return, majority of this nation lacks common sense and the understanding for what might be good for them and their future generations, its our loss, now the worst is yet to come and yet to be faced. But we as the Youth of this nation can gather and show ou rsupport for Sir Musharraf and his policies.
I would also like to appreciate PML-Q & the coalition parties who helped President Musharraf in his bad times.
I am living in Lahore. So i wont be able to attend the meeting which is scheduled to held in karachi on 18th October. So please do contact me whenever you’ll visit Lahore next time as i’ll always be the first one to come and meet you. I have watched various talk shows in which you participated and defended your (PML-Q’s) and (Musharraf’s) policies. I personally think that you have great ability to interact with people and make them understand your points very clearly.
I have an excellent idea for solving the present currency crises. My analysis is that people are buying
foreign currency from Pakistani Rupees in hope of earning huge exchange difference. As a nation, we
have greed to earn huge amount of money in short term. The result is every single person busy in
buying foreign currencies in demand.
To control this menace, you are requested to please suggest to the State Bank Governor or Ministry of Finance or any one who can take decision on the following measure:-
1. That with effect from 1st November 2008 a Currency Trading Tax of 5% is proposed on purchase or sale of any foreign currency.
2. All currency vendors and exchange houses must be effectively monitored to implement this law.
I am sure you will have a dramatic rush of US Dollars. Can you please confirm receipt of my this email
and comment about your opinion about this idea.
Naseem G.H. Chagani
President
Software Development Services
This is in reference to your article in the news,
Leadership as they say can command respect, it can never demand it. To steer Pakistan out of this crisis leadership needs to be looked up to, deemed as trustworthy and respectful by the elites sitting in their drawing rooms and general Pakistanis in the dhabas.
Khomeini galvanized iranis to bear the brunt of 8 year long brutalities of war with iraq, Jinnah infused muslims of india with courage to face atrocities for separate homeland, Bhutto sahib galvanized a down and out nation to stand up from ashes.
Masses can be galvanized and inspired to face crises and take blows only by leadership that enjoys dignity and unambiguous track record. Unfortunately the leadership options at our disposal are rightly perceived to possess none of the mentioned properties. Extremists are getting the better off us as far as the psychological warfare goes.
One just hopes the prince turns out to be better than the king. I out of desperation and naivety hope Bilwal Bhutto zardari, hamza shahbaz sharif and moonis elahi can capitalize the prized asset they will have to start off with once they are at the helm, a clean slate.

zohair
I came across your website and its a good idea that you have one. I know your father worked for IBM and the new IBM slogan is Stop Talking- start doing
You will mostly find doers in the corporate sector of Pakistan.
I am writing with respect to the energy problem of Pakistan. Simply stated foreigners are unwilling to invest as they do not trust the government i.e do not trust WAPDA will pay for the electricity which they could provide.
The potential for Wind Energy exists in the lower SIND region. Did you know that there is wind corridor that passes from lower SINd into Rajistan. ANd INDia has set up WIND turbines which produce 10,000 MW while we have been talking about the potential for the past 5 years.
You can enable this by getting the media to put up a timeline from program conception to completion for WIND energy. And lets go ahead and add 10,000 of alternate energy to the national grid.
Cost of Wind is $3 per WATT. So a 1000 MW would require an investment of a billion dollars.
Your questions are right! a-Are our national interests different to those of foreign powers? b-Are our national interests different to those of the militants? Sooner Pakistani leadership answers it better it is for them..Though there is another question…who is really the supreme commander now?

If Pakistani Govt would:Start local employment schemes by using the locals of each area—It could employ the poor and the neediest into municipality and development: Under a standard program for all the country.This would develop the country’s infrastructure and provide millions of jobs. The key being only locals of each area should be employed into their municipality.
This would further develop a record of each municipality and would serve as a head count board also.
All municipality must register its residents and issue a health card drivers licenses and of-course a Identity card.
A self Help Program run by each municipality: Each residents pays for his section of the side-walk [ across their house] Along with a green patch outside each house [if extra space available]
1] Start a program to build side walks in all urban and rural built-up areas.
2] Garbage incinerators like kilns maned and run under the supervision of the municipality.
3] Garbage pick-up points in all municipalities.
4] Public showers in all municipalities again maned under the municipality.[the ha mams of the old]
5] Allocation of public parks mandatory under govt rules and municipality.
6] Street sweeps under the municipality.
7] Gardeners to maintain the parks and green patch outside each house.
Sobia Saleem.
The Govt of Pakistan should directly buy all cash crops and distribute them to its stores in all municipalities. In this way we would have avoided hoarding middle-manning and would have fed our citizens.
In the second phase all municipalities should ensure that each resident of its municipality gets a ration of oil/wheat/rice/dals/onions/garlic ginger on a card on a weekly basis and in this way the govt ensures that no resident is hungry or starving ever.
did nt know you were in Karachi .
anyway regarding this economic crisis I just want to say that these people shoud act soon..they still seem a bit uncertain about what exactly they have to do while the time is running out.Our reserves won’t last beyond decemeber if aid does’nt come in.
Shaukat tareen in today’s press conference vaguely talked about plan A,B and C.He is hoping that we don’t have to go to the IMF because friends of pakistan will give us money to come out of this mess.Well first of all Mr Shaukar Tareen has no idea how much they will give us if anything and when they will give it because we need aid soon.I don’t know if they have already started talking to the IMF or are they going to wait till the friends of pakistan conference? ..this is really
wasting too much time because it will create futher panic among people here and more dollarization could take place…this govt has already wasted 8 months and allowed this economic crisis to go from bad to worse…not to mention in april,2008 they cancelled about 5 billion dollars worth of gdrs which were in the pipeline for political reasons out of jeolousy.
I want to mention one other thing, theres this rhetoric being played out all over the media that Shaukat Aziz is responsible for this crisis because he created an import based economy which is absoultely ridiclous.Shaukat Aziz improved the brand image of Pakistan which attracted foreign investment,the jump in foreign reserves to 16 billion dollars would not have been possible without that.
The present economic crisis happened because :
1.Oil prices and food prices went up all over the world which caused pressure on our import bill
2.Our finace minister Ishaq Dar in April,2008 cancelled transations which could have fetched us 5 billion dollars out of jeolousy and hate for Musharraf
3.We did not have a plan in march or april of 2008 when high oil prices started putting pressure on our economy…while other countries in the region like India,China were devising strategies to deal with high oil prices ,our ruling coalition was farting over tea parties discussing Musharraf and the chief justice.
4.not only did our govt not act at that time ,but our finance minister Ishaq Dar started issuing irresponsible statements which hurt the investors confidence and flight of capital started.
Pakistan requires land-reform…though it is too late and pointless to conduct a forceful eviction and confiscation of land in the country. The other solution would be market-based reform in which the State buys land at near-market rates.
Perhaps the State can nationalize enough agriculture to properly feed the whole population…i.e. produce crops and redistribute it at utility (below market) rates. The feudal lords who the State bought off from can use their new wealth to either leave Pakistan for good…OR conduct manufacturing ventures.
Ideally the feudal lords can set-up ventures with foreign firms to produce consumer goods for the Pakistani market as well as cater to regional markets in Central Asia, Middle East, South Asia…and perhaps even tap into Africa.
If the State nationalizes staple industries such as agriculture, textile, etc, as well as gas, minerals and coal…Pakistan would have total control over its wealth. Secondly, the tax system can be replaced with the Pakistani people buying off the State (food, gas, electricity, etc)…the State can generate huge revenues.
The private industry can and should focus on manufacturing in consumer goods, automobiles, ships, aircraft, etc.
In any case, initial costs to conduct market land reform could be acquired from China, Saudi Arabia as well as the E.U. In fact…the E.U. promised grants if the elections went smoothly…what happened to that money?
Present Govt should be ashame of themselves…
why r they blaming previous govt for all da destruction happening in our country?
when previous govt was in power…
there were no such issue like WHEAT CRISIS etc..
and even USA could not target pakistan as MUSHARRAF was strongly standing for pakistan..
but now on one hand they say that we wont attack pakistan.. and on da second hand their planes are roaming in pakistani areaz..
MUSHARRAF ko DAMS bananay diye hotay tou kabhi ELECTRICITY crisis nahi hotay..INDIA se itna paani aata hai.. wo sub WASTE hota hay :@
kash hum logoun mai aqal hoti tou hum sahi ka sath derahay hotay..
abhi bhi time hai..
this govt should build DAMS..
atleast last govt k saaaray PENDING projects hi complete ker dein apni will POWER se tou PAKISTAN ka BHALLA hojayega..

You are a talented and dedicated woman. But, you are hanging out with the wrong crowd. If you are serious in reading the ideas then
(http://marvimemon.wordpress.com/) then it would a waste of my time to have it posted in this open forum. I might have a few but I need to send them directly to you. Good job nice presentation through your website.
Dear Marvi.
Salam.
Being a democratic person , i hope u would not mind my comments.
I never like ur party and policies at all. I still say that u r wasting ur time and knowledge. Pls review urself and join another party. Thanx
Yes, As post-572 suggests you need to join another party but which one? look at the present days political parties ….all are crap…..full of idiots. Where minister of Education has no education ….MNet get their way to assembly either by using money or relegion. You find US agents all around in Jinnah cap, pagari, topi, and sherwani.
Madam, if you realy want to save Pakistan … impart education …speacially in rural ares.

It is so painful to listen to Commissioner, Indus Water,Jamat Ali Shah self assumed pearls of wisdom on his idiotic defense against Indian violations of Chenab waters on making of dams.Yesterday,his idea that we shall demand –water for water and no compensation for loss of cultivation consequently crops, dollars or rupees [as if are surplus in food and cash rich country] :sounded as ‘ tooth for tooth’ when India has made us toothless by her wicked machinations by executing her self serving projects on Chenab- Jehlum and afterwards turning into ‘ controversy’ for us to loose or traditionally agree to their stance. Similarly Governor State Bank sounded belonging to richest country where people-casionists: twenty times a day may convert one instrument into another, fly dollars to middle east – as dollars are flowing out of State Bank. The two statements show the uncontrolled and uncalled authority the state functionaries are perhaps enjoying without any central policy guiding it. The last eight months of present GOP show the worst example of state management of national issues on our bloodline-oxygen: name any issue, food,water,economy,money, securtity,domestic or foreign affairs.Every state functionary is at his own and to the complacence of all political parties especially the sleeping coalition partners who are happy being in golden-chairs.The poor have been made made into horrible example of deprivations.

for all those who feel the only productive thing to do for MNAs is to build schools … a suggestion …read Oct 19 page and many others.
We have a bigger responsibility to point out issues and then campaign for their solutions through better legislation. and we also need to concentrate on our own focus areas.
In environment if there is a serious issue which needs attention then I try and focus on that and project solutions to govt through active campaigning on floor of house and projection in media. this in long run can achieve many big goals.
As you said in Post 565 about garbage pick up vans, i guess there are plenty of vans under supervision of CDGK (Karachi) But the fact of the matter is that they arent working upto the standards they should be working. What is suggest is that this shouldnt be under CDGK, a contract should be given to PVT company because our government system lacks standards, and PVT companies can manage things well.
Public Showers:
Public Washrooms cannot be managed by the muincipalties how will they manage public showers? Public washrooms are in such a bad condition that you cant even drive near by.
Street Sweeps:
I see sweepers sweeping the streets every morning but what they do is that they sweep the streets and they just create heap of garbages under every electric pole that is on the road. And then they would never return to pick that mess up. Maybe they would once in a month. What i suggest is that we need to educate the workers of the muincipalty , we need to show them how the system works in foreign countries, and then we even need to educate the people that they shouldnt litter the streets. There are people who would clean there house and then they would throw the garbage on the road adjacent to their main gates. Pakistan should be treated as their own home, and each and every citizens duty is to keep his/her country neat and clean.
Again in all cases the bottom line would be that we need to educate the masses, This is the only way our country can prosper.
Long Live Pakistan.
An information to share with you guys that our leaders will now make trade of this project and get the money to fill in their bank accounts.!
Estimated Thar Coal Reserves are around 850 Trillion Cubic Feet.
Equal to 400 Billion Barrels of oil .
Which is equal to oil reserves of Saudia Arabia and Iran Together.
Investment Required is $4 Billion.
By only using 2% of that coal reserves, Pakistan can generate 20,000 MW of Electricity for almost 40 years.
Current government clims the project to fail coz we hav bin told that the coal reserves have excessive moisture.
But infact new power generation technology needs coal with heavy moisture!
Just think how they will rip our homeland and how they will fill up their accounts!
sad!
Just want to mention something here to those of us who are in love with democracy.China has no democracy ,it has been ruled by the same communist party for the past 60 years and look where it is now..it has become the 2nd largest economy of the world.It enacted reforms in 1978 which brought huge success..One of those reforms was Land Reforms:where they successfully
re-distributed agriculture land on a family owned basis to poor farmers in rural areas,it brought huge growth in the agriculture sector and reduced poverty by 20%.This is something that our ruling class would never want to do because most of them come from a feudal background.Land reforms or tax on agriculture may be want IMF wants us do ,but it will never happen not untill this feudal class goes out of power…and for those of you who think that can happen through democracy… good luck!.

My name is Bilal and i am a student of Electronic Engineering. I watched Your Interview and Many speeches and now i realize that someone has awaken from our public to speak for us.
My Question is that when Your government was in Power then the Rate of flour was around Rs.20. People in opposition used to scream on roads for such prices and now when prices have raised above Rs.35, no one cares now or people have lost their hopes.
Kindly explain the role of Judges in our politics. I bet they are playing side role in a horror movie. Besides speaking against the President and the Ex-Government they have nothing to do.

“… and that I will preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. May Allah Almighty help and guide me (A’meen).”
Above are the sentences taken from the oath of a Member National Assembly (MNA) that you have included in your introduction’s page.
Please tell me honestly, don’t you think your party did exactly opposite of it by accepting the Nov. 3 actions of Musharraf.
This is a nice step taken by you. But, one thing I would like you to make sure is that, this website should be used for interaction between you and the people, and not for your media publicity.

I m glad to see you leaving farzana raja answerless on some news channel where she could not respond to your questions about their party fake promises made during election campaign,with public for achieving power only .Like every political party in the country always leaving nation disappointed after being elected.
watching your interviews n views on politics i am surprised to see that still some good dedicated ,energtic leaders like you, are there in the country who has scientific modern ways of interacting people specially young generation.
we expect you, the only one, will definitely address the issue of latest alarming developments on our borders of afghanistan which is leaving pakistanis, the nation having no respect coz when a leader like karzai lol pointing towards pakistan forgetting all the sacrifices of pakistani nations and specially his in competency to handle the country’s situation, proves what our govt is waiting on why don’t they quit apologizing attitude why don’t they face world head to head.
Holding the light of hope may you survive longer for the nation n whole country
May Allah bless pakistan n rest of the world with peace & prosperity n give you the real strength to lead the nation as a true leader in the right direction of optimism
July 16, 2008 at 5:22 pm

September 10, 2009 at 8:30 pm
dear Marvi,
i am a resident of Gilgit Baltistan. I would like to extend my respect, encouragement and thankfulness on presenting the issues of GB in the parliament. it is indeed your kindness otherwise no one has spoken on the floor of assembly for GB.
regarding interfaith dialogue, as resident of one of the most effected regions of Pakistan, my suggestion would be that government should nationalize all the mosques and Imam Barghas in Pakistan, with proper training of Masjid imams and a clear direction should be given to them.
Try to engage people on commonalities between the faiths, like ethics, Humanity and social relation of man with society etc. with in the islam sects in minority are vulnerable and have reservations with the system. they must be heard and their ambiguities must be cleared.
well this is my contribution and will come up with some more in future.
Regards.
P.S. your effort is highly appreciated in the student circle of GB. Keep it up, and try to meet youth frequently instead of politician because they will steer you according to their needs.
September 11, 2009 at 8:08 pm
tks – govt is misleading on the new package as i clear
October 9, 2009 at 9:19 am
I know it is misleading. we are trying to activate youth politically in Islamabad and hopefully there will be a demonstration in near future.

July 22, 2008 at 1:15 am
Marvi Ji first of all i wish you all the best for your contribution and hard work, and may Allah give you success in every positive step you take… as you are working on a strategy to manage extremism, i’d give you my personal view on this…
Who is a terrorist or extremist?
A person who ’s killing for food, religious freedom, his lawful rights in society?
Ask urself Miss/Mrs Marvi, a common person if has to wait for years in courts for justice. A innocent youth going behind the bar, gets killed or robbed and waiting for justice, Where as he sees the real corrupt gets the leadership of the country and escapes the country when caught guilty and once they return they get the leadership again. A country where we have no social and financial insurance. Being however literate I would personally even prefer a Sharia Law and Jirga system to get the results as early as possible. These people are not terrorists they are holding guns to protect their rights, they are fighting for their heritage, religious and cultural freedom.
You people are forcing them too much to adopt you people and so inviting problems to yourself. Don’t send the troops to kill them, sort out your judicial system, protect your borders from all around provide education to everyone in easy means and provide equal employment opportunities raise the common man’s life standard and it may take a few years but would result without shedding any blood. And one more thing to add here… please don’t get the people so complex ed by showing off the luxuries, stop sending your own children to foreign universities, instead raise the standard of your own here. Our most educated class, who if serves their own country could make a huge difference prefers going abroad and serve those foreign countries WHY? money maybe is one of the facts but the what matters the most is the social justice, law n order and system what attracts them. In our country, what do we have here? Just a few hotels, cafes, restaurents, bowling allays (not affordable for common man) Golf Clubs (just for a particular class) Gyms, Sport Clubs again for supreme class, grounds? too conjusted or small… attractions? ohhh hardly we have a poor zoo and indian cinema these days… what about our art and historical buildings? yes in poor condition now. Actually our government doesn’t have any master plan for the infrastructure of towns and cities. People don’t trust anyone of you now. You are frustrating the people too much, don’t you see? No planning for generating electricity, no proper water and sewerage systems, no atta no ghee… the rich gets richer and a poor gets poorer. Than our managenet class drivin huge cars and a majority hasn’t even got money to buy shoes. Isn’t it forcing them to do kidnappings, killings and robberies to enjoy those luxiries or just to provide food to their children n emselves? buT hey not to forget if they get caught they will be out behind bars, but if a big robberer from our political parties do multi billion robbery doesn’t even get noticed. Dont you feel ashamed when you see a kid begging on the road side? when a dog lies dead on roads for days? when u see people supplying goods on donkeys to make their living and a brand new Lexus/Bmw/Mercedes with a special number worth a fortune passes by it. If our leaders could rather step into their shoes and think of their feelings only then they would be called AWAMI leader.
If we just uprise the standard of lives of people we can make a huge difference. But sigh, Your government had the best of opportunities but now we have foreign forces on our borders, no economy, no industries, no investments, stock exchange fallin low… too risky isn’t it… but we still have a HOPE! Every person i bet in this country is living with one hope, waiting for that one person to come forward to solve their domestic issues and then maybe we would even someday forget the word terrorism and extremism and might even change the meaning of it that we find in oxford’s new edition today.

Hi Marvi, I am a doctor by profession, my nature of work related to Science in general and Medicine in specific have brought me closer in the loop of some Nobel Laureates, in common communication and frank hours with them, I frequently encounter situations where I am asked about the Status and Role of Women in Politics and Society in Pakistan….I had very few good examples….and that too were from much faded past….now that I have you on our side I feel we have got really strong and genuine women leadership to brag about… =)
God knows how excited and happy I was to see you that day at Sama and then Lucman’s Show…I texted all my contacts on my cell to watch what are you standing for….amazing and marvelous job Marvi…Serving such an ideal role is never an easy task.I am proud of you and whole nation is proud of you!
Thanks for being there for all the Pakistanis….We are with you and may God be with you….

There was a comment on Urdu aspect of this website. I completely agree it must be done fast. In that spirit and on that advice from all of you, I have decided to write in Urdu newspapers as well (articles). The first one is on interfaith dialogue and intrafaith dialogue. Unfortunately I havnt figured out how to post a Urdu blog on this blog so till I get round this technicality I am putting a translation in English. The original is available in Nwaqt dated 22 July. Inshalla we will have a proper website not just blog where Urdu will be available and frankly so should all of this material be available in all the National languages I have proposed in the bill. Eventually will get round to it. Tks

Salam,
This is Muhammad kamran from Geneva,Switzerland. I am persuing my master in management & Leadership. I am a frequent user of internet Blogs,TV Talk shows, and anynews related to my country,Pakistan.
You are an imressive debater and talkative person.Good to see at leaset some one talking in various political aspects.
However, i would be sad to say that you are on the wrong side of the table.Your base is based on wrong elements which are the sturbness of our pesident Musharaff.I might sound anti-musharaff to you but there are many realities and facts. You spend most of your time to defend an illgitimate person who is no in no means favourable for our people.Current surveys does show this all clearly. Second, you are with the party, PMLQ has the biggest corrupt leadership.I do have reservation about other parties, but let’s talk about you and your party here.
You are right on target when you are poiting out some work of malfunctioning Govt.Neverthless, The contribution of musharraf and PMLQ has a vibrant role in al this.I am not satisfy with current govt performance as well as the role of musharrf. Only few name i can admire in politics Imran Khan, Javed Hashmi, Mehmud achakzai, Mushahid hussain, Qazi Hussain, Aitzaz ahsan, Shahbaz sharief (good with low level governance)Anwar baig. There may be many more but these looks sincere to me.
What i suggest you is to join a right platform where you may not become a member of assemble but you will have respect among people. PTI seems to me the best whose leader is full of principle.Imran khan is the man trustworthy for pakistan and he is one of the honest and faithful politicians.
You may enjoy your seat in assembly but will never gain respect by supporting a dictator who has occupied the country and spoiled our constitution.
Hope you will take the right path

Salam-Namaste
It was really a wonderful article titled INTRAFAITHS AND INTERFAITH HARMONY in Nawa e Waqt. Yeah, its right time to do something which can work out or prove fruitful in wiping out the lable of terrorist from Pakistani nation.
You have highlighted in your article Christianity, Islam and Budhism and remaining in other religion and stunningly leaving out Hinduism, which is one of the major religions in the world. The teachings of hinduism are also for peacful society. It is one of the most flexible religion. This is not I am sying as a hindu or being baised but its true.
So I think dialogue with the believers of hindu faith can prove healthy in this regard. Not necessarily hindus from India, but from Nepal also.
Another thing you have mentioned that ban must be imposed on the pseudo sholars like Salman Rushdi and Taslima Nasreen. I think those books should be banned which are blesphamous while other books which are worth readable should be allowed.
I think it is apt time we must develope soft image, and we must be enlightendly moderate, not westernized. Its great dilemma that we misinterpreted what Gen Pervaiz Musharaf said of this coined term. We took it as westernization rather than being enlightened moderate.
So its my requet to you to coin a new term for this so that it may be taken positively to develope the constructive thinking among Pakistanis.
Regards

The omission on Hinduism in the inter faith article is regretted and was not a deliberate miss. Enlightened moderation is a good term and doesnt need recoining, just a better understanding is required that it does not mean westernization as you pointed out.
July 26, 2008 at 1:13 pm
Salam- Namaste
Thanks for your kind reply and heeding my request. I too agree that we need a better understanding to understand the term enlightened moderation. I dint mean at all westernization of this coined term but what I feel mostly people took it otherwise.
We need to revise our Quaid’s words of secular Pakistan. MP Bhandara did his level best in making so but people culdn’t understand him or didnt like him to do so.
I really appreciate the effforts which are being put by the young parliamentarians like you for the well being of this nation.
May God give you courage and stramina to work more.
We need Paksitan and Paksitan needs you.

Hi,
Can you please reply an earlier mail regarding energy sector. Bhasha dam is not the panacea and there is a lot that needs to be done even when oil prices fall below 100USD.
Also can you raise the issue that 3.78 liters (a gallon) of gasoline costs USD 3.9 with 12% tax … why the same costs USD 4.6 with 15% tax in Pakistan? Along with a claim that prices are subsidized?
Thanks,
Zubair
July 27, 2008 at 5:48 am
Agreed Mr Zubair. I have raised similar pricing issues earlier also. I am personally working on alternative energy mechanism as part of National security strategy. Your advice will be helpful on my gmail address.

An apparently bizarre exertion by a parliamentarian keeping in view, traditional and conventional outfits however without any exaggeration, hats off to an awesome exercise by a civilised soul. Though we all are educated, I am afraid fewer meet the minimum standards of cultured entities.
Irrespective of your affiliations with whatever people are shouting about, I reckon you are wise enough to carry on composing yourself. Having said that, I and every one should fully respect the existence of different wings and let everyone to merge towards the prosperity of the nation with their pace and strength. Ofcourse controversial notions are or atleast should be to establish a constructive arena for every stakeholder and to address the demands of the nation.
I donot want to be cynical at this stage, however I love to, when fabricated applauds are on air, whispers of so-called successes are echoing and above all hollow slogans of sincerity and prosperity are sprinkling like rains in monsoon season. I fully understand the dilemma of international politics and indeed Asian spheres witness much dark clouds and I am afraid, complex forecasts.
No harsh feelings please, it’s not for you. It’s my general comment. I donot expect a sincere Politian, get something out for yourself and for your close circles but I would request not to betray the ordinary person like myself. Donot give us any hope, if the clouds donot have silver linings. We are very emotional and with every murmur, we think “He/She is the ONE”. I may continue about this sometime, if get any and would love to.
Now something about new induction in the town of conspiracies and concealed “causes”, I remember you from “Off the Record”, the one accompanied by Gen. Talat and Mr. Fatimi. I found you a bit struggling with these highly skilled blokes, though you had vigilant and sharp analyses of the facts. The next one with Mrs. Haqqani deserves to be in my collectable, you were on fire. It’s a beginning, learning is till death as we learn how to. I am sure you do get some time to see your videos/comments and find how it was and how it could be? I donot want be one of those who think they are pretty good in giving suggestions, irrespective of their disturbed lives. But I believe
“Still waters run very deep”
And there is always a time for still water to expose it’s depth.
My schedule to writing you is alarming, but it was a good fun. All the best!!!
See you later.
Take care and keep praying

Its good watching you on Geo Tv and and on Ajj Tv in two different shows. So broad, candid and shrewed were your counter arguments that it really perplexed the counterparts.
Being in opposition will really provide you a nice opportunity to learn and make you politically matured person. This tenure will make you politically ripened by the end of this so-called coalition led govt.
I do agree that if Marvi Memon is in politics its not because of her father’s “ashirwad” on her but I think you are there because of your own abilities and gutts.
Its good listening you that you know Sindhi as well.

Marvi,
You should be ashamed for defending a dictator.
July 31, 2008 at 8:39 am
Mr Asad,
I do not consider President Musharraf a dictator. PML has elected him for 5 years and he is an elected President. I will defend what I feel is best for Pakistan’s national interest and security. One should respect difference of opinion and refrain from emotional accusations.
June 20, 2009 at 9:12 pm
agreed. Pakistan needs the leaders like you.
May Allah Bless you.

APPEAL To ALL
Dear ALl,
It is really hurting that if somebody is doing something good and mingling up with general public via this electronic facility then we must take care of our emotional affiliation.
No Parlimantarian ever dared to interact like Marvi Memon with public and replying the queries. Its something daring and gesture of goodwill on her part. So, rather becoming negative and biased we must develope a positive and constructive thinking which may help us as well our young, energetic and enthusiastic parlimentarians to do something for this country.
This Iam saying being a representative of young educated Paksitanis so please heed my words.
Regards

What a grin?
Ms. Marvi, once again exploiting the best of available political catches and her vocal cords-thanks to lozenges, her “19 hour work day” and aides. It’s difficult to explain to a layman but what a pity to convince parliamentarians about the constitutional position of Mr. President? Without blowing any controversial notion, I do concur Mr. Musharraf’s constitutional position as the President of Pakistan-it is fairly and explicitly constitutional however on moral grounds, I do reserve my rights to comment. What a wacky idea to use a word “morality” in politics, it just needs “modality”-a substitute of old friend “Routee, Kupraa aor Makan”. How come someone could forget to comment about the existence of PML (Q) in future, while doodling meticulously on papers? Probably the existence of PML(Q) is a bright hope, I am not sure for Pakistan but yes it is a bright hope and an easy stair to climb with limited visionary eyes and abundance of deceiving ears.
Dr. Firdous is unfortunate for having Mr. Zardari, her words and explanations seemed strayed. It’s what I call lack of farsighted leadership. If it had been Ms. Farzana Raja, it would not have been an easy nut to crack.
Tahmina Appa, a seasoned politician-adorable-a lady who knows when and how much to speak. She also knows how to tantalize aggressively, followed by restricting others to their sheds. I remember she compelled Ms. Marvi twice to remain in her state of silence. Though she belongs to a clan who depict dark times but still she knows how to cash the historic events including atomic explosions. There is a lot to extract from her.
Take care and keep praying

Hi Ms Memon,
I recently came across an article of yours in The News titled ‘The 100-day Betrayal.’ It’s always good to see that some intellectual gems do make it into our parliament afterall. However, I’m preplexed after finding out that you are affiliated with the PML-Q. This is not to suggest that PML-Q is any better or worse than any other parties in the Pakistani political arena. But I do have a strong, unexplained, negative bias against the Chaudhri brethren. How do you justify yourself in a party that was and is still known as the King’s party and whose leadership is written off by most political analysts as ‘lotas’.
I have also seen your website – a brilliant idea. I would like some sort of reply to the email or through a post on your website on why any Pakistani should believe you on your commitments? What makes you different than others?
Best of luck, Hasnain.
August 1, 2008 at 3:54 am
Dr Rizwan,
Pls provide me more details on my gmail address so that I can help the girl you mentioned. I have been to Ayub Medical on July 26th in connection with Ayubia accident of Lorali children. Will do what I can.
August 1, 2008 at 12:32 pm
Well ,1st of all thanks to Allah that some politician finally releazed the need of communication with us ,the awam, and thanks to you for implementing it 1st time .
Marvi you impressed alot cause of your PRE speech work in the form of proofs or reports you bring along with you in TV talk shows.but i feel that sometimes you don t behave in civilized or gentle way.i just saw you last time on capital talk and you talked really fine hope you would continue this .i personally feel great to listen you hope you would try to understand things apart from your POLITICAL AFFILIATIONs but in interest of humans living in this country….
i must say i have seen 1st time some politician other than PRESIDENT OR PRIME MINISTER Who made some inet webspace and this simply shows your modern approach towards politics .I wish you lots of successes on this path of politics,and pray to ALLAH that your all successes become success of PAKISTANI FOLKS too…..and never forget this weblog site ..and keep updating us about your accomplishments.
August 1, 2008 at 12:39 pm
and one thing more,though i am not advocative or lover of acts done by PML q or PRESIDENT musharraf .but i am appreciating this lady for her courage to speak out loud what she thinks right or wrong .please learn to respect people s ideas and at least say thanks to this lady for her public appearance ,not a single politician has such dare to come and talk in public,or in INET platform.if some one is trying to change TREND of our politics please appreciate him or her .
August 1, 2008 at 1:20 pm
I have had 3 abnoxious mails through this particular page which I have not displayed since I dont believe in promoting terrible language and twisted thoughts! My only hope is that all parliamentarians come up to the awaam’s expectations so that we are all respected. Written vulgar abuses dont achieve much. If you disagree it can be done in a civilized way too and then it can be published on the page. That is the kind of politics I want to see in Pakistan.
August 1, 2008 at 1:31 pm
In response to Mr Husnain … He asked
“why any Pakistani should believe you on your commitments? What makes you different than others” … The top of my mind response is….
I hope my commitment is believed, because of the motto which I am trying to follow….
Tangible results not just talk. I am trying to walk the talk. All the meetings I have are with the same purpose. Frankly there is no need for a regular opposition MNA to have meetings with experts to get solutions to our national security including energy and food crisis. Normally thats govt’s job. I am trying to do that and trying to be constructive.
Time will tell. And results will show. So far I have had good progress on lots of issues like for example glaciers/ Disaster management; because I try and push govt towards resolution. Its a new approach. Read the article on food security, read the july 27th diary page, read even the press release trying to warn govt for not being so pro-Indian, read the northern area bill which is the first time in parliamentary history. There are many other examples but its a journey. Everyday I try hard to do something useful. Results not just talk. I am just starting the journey. I know one has to be very persistent to get results. I had to raise glacier issue thrice and scream on assembly floor to get PM to listen and before I got whip in parliament to call disaster management team to resolve issue. Persistence to keep trying till results come in. Its lots of work when one is in opposition because one cant fix issues oneself. One has to push govt to fix, because govt has the power to sign solutions. Much easier to fix when in govt.
Even a simple dinner at any ambassador’s residence is lots of work; to push for constructive collaborations between our two countries. Its not just sushi and small talk! Thats my approach.
Even though I am in opposition and will get no direct credit for my party as a result of the fixes. As long as country wins thats the real and only win. Everyday there is lots that we do which is confidential which I cant post but which is good for Pak. And hopefully one day those pages will also be posted
August 1, 2008 at 1:35 pm
We all know the issues of Pak. Its pointless arguing over whether we created them or the current govt. What is important is collective wisdom in solving them…Please post solutions on this page so that I can convince govt to fix things accordingly. Let this page be a truly useful excersise for the country
August 1, 2008 at 1:49 pm
before imaginations run wild…by ‘confidential meetings’ in my earlier post i mean.. opposition’s strategy meetings… those are being recorded too separately and at the right time when my hair is grey enough I will share those too. I see those meetings with leadership as learnings and history in the making. There is a logic to the madness and a logic to each decision and strategy.
August 1, 2008 at 2:58 pm
As you have given us ,the awaam,a lift by connecting this way ,i want to pose a question ,would you like to do some thing for misplaced individuals ,i know its very sensitive issue but Marvi, that person could be your father or my brother ,if its their turn then one day it would be someone else turn too.i consider you as sensible human and want that you do some thing on this issue as well ,secondly if nothing can be done for them ,then at least support for their families could be arranged ,they are our Muslim brother and sisters they are our responsibility.i don’t know what are your Party s beliefs about this thing but after seeing REFLECTION of nanga parbat in your photo collection i expect a lot from your sensibilities.

Irrespective of concerns raised about the loyalty of a politician, an educated person should focus on “JOB IS DONE”, whether there appears “Choudharys”, “Mians”, “Newly born Zardari-Bhuttos” or “Mr/Ms Xs”. We are gossiping about educated stuff, are we on the right track of education? I acknowledge the participation of Ms. Memon in three committees including IT which has-I am afraid-something very little to do with education to establish the conscious of youth.
I shuffle and find Dr. Atta-ur-Rehman’s launch of IT tsunami (sorry for this word but it proved an extravagant policy) about seven eight years ago. The misunderstanding of the concept followed by the mismanagement led to thousands of Internet Café with horrendous outcomes which we had witnessed with a deep sorrow. The good we achieved, ofcourse is worth mentioning but it’s not the objective of this post. A country having about 70% habitants in rural areas have limited or no excess to basic education and rest constitutes about 50% literacy rate (definition is negotiable). I am not pessimistic, however we need to re-consider our education policy. I had a chance to have bird’s eye view of the education policy forwarded by Mr. Ahsan Iqbal (65 pages). I could not find any such policy from PML(Q) except one paragraph-of little satisfaction for me-in the manifesto under the head of “Development”. If you have any education policy in hands, would you please share the link.
I feel so much lost sometimes when I try to envisage Ms. Memon-one-size-fitting-all, something is ofcourse better than nothing. I feel sorry when I find lavish spending on the name of foreign scholarships.
We will have hundreds of PhDs by another two or three years- do we have sufficient infra-structure to accommodate them or simply we are trying to facilitate brain-drain?
I appreciate the efforts and do not doubt the sincerity of HEC, are we spending on the right lines?
Do we need to spend millions of dollars to ensure foreign qualified PhD scholars or we can spend this fortune to hire foreigners for our universities and let our universities to establish?
Do we need the cash-flow in IT or for those highly skilled programmes or we can have a balanced scheme for basic grounds as well as for highly skilled plans to raise the conscious of youth?
Take care and keep praying

P.S: Thanks for getting some time for all of us and your tolerance is highly acknowledged.

Salam-Namaste
You look very energetic and enthusiastic with a spirit to do something for this outcast nation. Please do something in the education sector. I belong to Thrparkar and literacy ratio of this desert area, swelterring with the heat of illeteracy anf poverty, is terribly only 17%, where as last PM Shaukat Aziz and CM Sindh Ghulam Rahim both were elected from the same area, however, the former left the constituency. This is what we got from these treahers. I clearly remeber the sppech of Shaukat Aziz made in Mithi, dist Tharparkar, when he made hollow claims that he would make Thar as Dubai. But regret to say there are only two towns which are gifted with river water via a pipeline and rest of the inhabitants have to use the saltish water of the wells. Only four towns and few villages are electrified and remaining are still lying in the darkness of backwardness.
Your party must not forget that you have made a clean sweep by winning 4 provinicial and two national assembly seats from this forgotten territory. Arbab sahib is enjoying a lavishing life in Arabian desert having forgotten his own desert.
Majority of the hidus live in this area so they may not be ignored in this pathetic way.Its my request that you may visit Thar and see the deplorable condition of the people or not then do watch movie Ramchand Paksitani which had been shot in Thar. It clearly depicts gloomy picture of Thar.
Its very perplexing why this region is being ignored by every government- whether for being border area or govt’s biased policies against minorities. I really laud Musharraf for doing something for this region by developing network of roads and water for two towns. In actuality, these facilities were given to facilitate Chinese working at Thar Coal project, but in the long run it would facilitate the locals.
So many things to say but I think brevity is soul of wit. Therefore, some practical implementation must be done.

Marvi -
First of all, nice to see this website and see some educated people in our politics. But i’m not sure what are your reasons to stick with PML Q – they have done enough bad to the country that this party doesn’t deserve to be with.
But at the end i respect your vision and your contitutional right of speech & to be with any party.
thanks
August 3, 2008 at 4:00 am
You have a flare for misusing statistics – Ever considered working for Shaukat Aziz? Would you approve the kidnapping of Mr. Aziz from UK and bring him to justice in Afghanistan.

first of all i will like to appreciate ur sense of photography..nice nature pics:)
now lets come to point
my point is can u guide me how to enter in pakistani politics?i mean whts the creteria and conditions?and how we start it like how to join any party?whts the procedure and all

It’s really startling that you just wiped away my last post from this page rather than replying me. What i wrote was true of my area and what what your ‘respected’ leaders did for this area was also true. Since you always defend your party and your support for it and for Musharraf so I felt it comfortable to ask you aboout our ‘patriotic’ leaders who are now out of country after bagging the money.
I hope there’s is no harshness in my tone but its a question which every person of my area wants to know. So let it be answered.
Our best wishes are with you.

I have heard and seen you in many a tv interviews… you are a credit to our society.
Can you please find out about Dr Afia,missing for well over 4years…justice and humanity demands that this is corrected, a mention in your newsletter, would be a start.
Thank you,
May Allah bless us in our quest.
August 4, 2008 at 12:26 am
Wow i must say this is so nice to see a person from the parliment to be on the internet and listening to the actual ‘awaam’ – so nice of you marvi.. perhaps you should encourage other leaders to open up their blog just like you’ve done.
As for my comments on inter faith dialogue, national security strategy and strategy to manage extremism, I’d say that the extremists have reached at a point where they are no longer negotiable – they have been brainwashed to hurt Pakistan and Pakistanis. The extremists are like zombies which are ‘laa – ilaaj’ (have no cure). The only solution is, to arrest them, and if they show resistence, then (unfortunately) kill them – and at the same time, go to those places where these extremists are growing up – talk to their children and women and explain to them how those extremists are wrong.. after all, women and children may just be able to get an understanding of what the established extremists do not.
Cheers and keep up the good work.
P.S. I do not believe in any party – as all parties here are based around personal interest – but you sound like you are someone with dedication towards her country and people – so i’d pray that you take over the chaudry brethren soon and become the leader of the party.
Good luck!
August 4, 2008 at 12:53 am
And of course, I’d like you to re-think your decision of supporting a dictator so passionately. Do you honestly feel that a man who is ruling on Pakistan using the power of his military uniform is worth your support? Re-think.
August 4, 2008 at 3:29 pm
Marvi you have all rights to protect and defend Musharaff BECAUSE with out would not have in Parliment. This shows your Loyality:)
However, I do ask, How do you feel to defend a dictator who has only 3% popularity among public. (Latest surveys shows)
You should think about this point before being a blind loyal to your master. This just my humble opinion and advice because i think you can do much better if find the right path.
Thanks
August 4, 2008 at 8:01 pm
Well Marvi,
before saying anything i would like to ask whether this place is also available for those who has ideological differences with u??????
To introduce myself,i am shahid from N.W.FP Pakistan.A masters degree holder in Political science and LLB.
I watched u quite a number of times over channels and i think u as a lady with a thinking mind.but i would honestly suggest that insead of going for cliche and taboo works,u better go for something genuine.I would suggest that instead of trusting the knowledge gained by books and by ”Briefings”,u must try real politics.i mean that politics which is called street politics.i know it would be difficult for a person of elite class like u but that is essential if u wana leave some mark.
At the end if u really honour difference of opinion then we can talk

Party Leadership must be respected and party discipline must be maintained. I have chosen to be in PML due to its links to Quaid’s original party and I am grateful for the PML giving me a chance to be a PML MNA. Leadership bashing in the emails I have received by some of you is not productive activity. I believe there is good in most individuals and one must learn from leadership the good. One must zoom into good and ignore the rest, in general in life. That gets you positive approach.

@ true paki (August 3, 2008 at 7:52 am)
Recently one of my friends, who belongs to a mediocre family, asked me about the shortcuts of getting rich.
“Only two ways, either to have a rich father or father-in-law”, it’s what normally people think at the top of their heads.
“How to be a politician?”, around the horizons of Southeast Asian politics, reality is not very much different from the above-mentioned myth. My dear, do we need to be a politician to recognise our strengths and utilise these for the welfare of our people? I am sure “not”, if we identify our circles of influence irrespective how big or small these are. Having said that, it’s not an easy accomplishment to sustain the integrity of thoughts and ideology, once the mesmerisation of power commences shackling.
@ Kapil Dev (August 2, 2008 at 2:22 pm)
I remember the budget for higher education was Rs. 3.9 billion in 2001-02, which skyrocketed to an astounding Rs. 33.7 billion in 2006-07. The reasons of such an astonishing increase are self-explanatory. We like to charge ourselves as recently labelled by Mr. Gillani before going to USA. (My intentions are not to highlight the reasons therefore I am skipping). I respect Dr. Atta-ur-Rehman a lot but I keep my right to disagree with the policies. Last year, Dr. sb. with his dedicated team of HEC was in Trieste, Italy and raising slogans of hollow successes, including 300 percent increase in research publications, nine new universities will be inaugurated soonish in affiliation with European teaching faculty, a revolution by the return of about 3000 foreign qualified Pakistani PhD students and every year about 1500 PhDs from Pakistani Universities and bla bla bla.
Has he ever thought of “Mr. Kapil Dev” who is demanding a primary school/basic education for his vicinity? It’s a shame to spend Rs. billions on something which could benefit only fraction of fraction at the cost of millions of prospective scientists of Pakistan and who knows leaders of the world. I think it’s enough for the time being to absorb and think “What’s wrong with us”?
@ Marvi Memon (August 5, 2008 at 11:37 am)
The party of Quaid’s ideology, one can quote, may be hundreds of expressions from Quaid’s life which are enough to shatter what PML (at that time used to be “Q”) had been practicing over years and what it is comprised of. I feel sorry for any alphabet of PML due to their birthplaces-GHQ, some have achieved their freedom while for some future will decide. My words start wavering, when I think to advice someone who occupies much higher intellectual position than myself so I leave it to her.
@ All
I had to, in the past, sometimes guide and direct my niece who was 6 years old about four years ago. It sounds bizarre, trying to convince someone considering she is wrong about her political affiliation, whose son is older than my younger niece. A graduate form London must have a vision, I am sure do have, to scan a range from “the best” to “hazardous”. It’s her choice to get satisfaction with “Just OK” as one could think or justified/exaggerated it to “the best”. Let’s leave the politics for politicians and think of/for “awam”!!!

Dear Marvi
I would hmbly disagree wid u regarding ur last post.u said” have chosen to be in PML due to its links to Quaid’s original party and I am grateful for the PML giving me a chance to be a PML MNA”
Well first of all i humbly disagree with ur point that PML Q has any link with Quaid’s original party.u have a right to join any party but linking it to Quaid’s original party is quite a strange satatement.in the true sense of the term it can hardly be called a party.see it was an amalgamation of a number of parties having presence in parliament(not to forget the turncoats of different partis like PPP patriots).after a five year un-intrrupted rule and three prime ministers,it had to face only one general election of 2008.And u know the result.
Moreover may i humbly ask if Marvi memon was not the daughter of Senator Nisar memon then whwther she would ever be able to get a ticket of even a union council.What was the criterion to get a ticket of women reserve seat in parliament????
Hope u wount mind my comment and querry.If anything annoying then sorry

Enough of politics and personal clashes. Let me quote Ms. Marvi Memon (August 1, 2008 at 1:35 pm)
“Let this page be a truly useful excersise for the country”
I would request everyone to help her bringing more productivity to this forum and proper delegation of tasks, and leave the cynical attitude and point scoring tactics for “Gladiators” of the political spheres.
So her Excellency “MNA Marvi Memon”, it would be great if you could update us about the recent two requests
1. By Dr. Rizwan (July 31, 2008 at 12:57 pm) about an injured/ paralyzed 3rd year MBBS student of Ayub Medical College, Abbottabad, who was compelled to abandon her studies by the administration of the college due to tragic mishap.
2. By Ms. Ambar Ghaffar (August 1, 2008 at 2:58 pm) about the missing persons.
You are not accountable to us but we would appreciate, if you could let us know that our “brainstorming” and “trusting Ms. Memon” was not a mistake. We know things are not going to change overnight, but you atleast can share whatever you have done and/or your farsighted approach in few explicit lines. I wonder such electronic gadgets like computers and PDAs are going to substitute Pakistani “street politics” in future, and welcome you being the “innovator”.

Dear Marvi as I have watched the transparency introduced by PML-Q govt erode from the system I am becoming increasingly alarmed by the civil dictators of PML-N and PPP. I will love to discuss with you about forming a political action group that will empower and rally people at grass root level by using IT and mass media. This will be highly philanthropic, legal, in-expensive and revolutionary.
Best,
You have my email address
August 9, 2008 at 7:41 am
Hi Marvi,
Just watched a clip of you speaking in Hamid Mir’s Capital Talk. Frankly, I cannot appreciate your support for Musharraf. Opinions aside, it is a fact that Pervez Musharraf dismissed the judiciary in his capacity as COAS.
In any case, you are extremely inexperienced. Your remarks were crude, off the topic, useless, and in one word: pathetic. The very things you accuse the ruling coalition of, were committed by Gen Musharraf. He has admitted selling citizens of Pakistan to the US of A.
It is an absolute waste of time and enrgy supporting you in your endeavours.
Presuming your well intentions for Pakistan, I would wish you well. However I cannot, because what you intend could reverse Pakistan.
Hasnain.
August 9, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Dear Marvi
I m not affiliated with any political party because of so many reasons. To day I saw TV talk show capital talk. I like the way you put your question and answer. Seeing you as a member of parliament make me feel good. In this show you done well. But where were you when Mr. shukat aziz was looting this country? Why did not you raise your voice? For God sake think about this country which came in to being after many sacrifices of our fore father. Please do some real thing for this country. All we are enjoying is due to this country. We have liability towards this land. Please do some thing for the people of Pakistan. India building dams and we are sleeping. CNG stations getting profits 135%. Crude oil price decrease $114 a barrel but no relief to people of Pakistan. Government announce CNG price but CNG owners charging higher rate. Where is writ of the government? I use to listen “MEHDI HASSN MILI NAGMA YEH WATAN TUMHARA HEY, TUM HO PASS BAN IS KEY” and this makes me emotional. I request you to please listen it and advise other fellows to listen.
God bless you.

Dear Miss Marvi Memon,
Today,I watched your speech and Arguments in capital talk to defend Pervaiz Musharaf.
You said that Mr.Musharf has not voilated the constitution.
I pray that you may be abducted by FBI of USA.You may be taken to Bagraam Airbase. Then US troops rape you there for five years
Then you will understand that where Mr.Musharaf has voilated the constitution of Pakistan.This shameless person has sold away ourPakistani sisters and there are still shameless women like who are defending this Rascal.
August 9, 2008 at 6:08 pm
how will defend the act of Musharaf of selling Pakistani Citizens to USA.If He sells you to FBI for 1 million Dollars then it will be very good deal.
And I assure you one day he will do if he remains in the power.You are really disgusting lady defending such a rascal who sold our sisters and Daughters to U.S.A.
I think it will not be easy for you swallow.and you may remove it from website.But if you are bold and you can defend your self then you should not remove this comments and give me answer
August 10, 2008 at 7:46 am
Dear Mam,
I read all above comments there is no doubt that you introduce first time in our politics this kind of discussion where everyone have same right to tell his arguments and whatever he have to ask. But please, please don’t favor that person who is the main reason and have large contribution to collapse the country economically, socially, and esthetically and we all are known about the terrible situation of Pakistan. And as you know the next week position going to submit the charge sheet against him so I think we are afraid that he could use the sword of 58 2B so kindly you people who are the big supporter of him and still defending him let him stop to do that because this time we are could not bear that kind of things with the Pakistan. Because this will be last with the Pakistan and I am afraid too much that we can lost our prestige and our country too. Now we are all wanting the accountable him in the Supreme Court.
At last once again I will appreciate your efforts and hearing the truth.
Regards
August 10, 2008 at 9:47 am
hey
I watched your program “capital talk” with Hamid Meer.I was very surprised to see how rudely and shamefully you are defending the case of the General Musharraf. Now you are the next card after Nellofar and Kshhmala.But I am sure after some days you will be with them and accusing the General Musharraf.I must condemn your hypocritical and disgraceful attitude. You don’t deserve for the anydebating shows you actually deserve somewhere else.
August 10, 2008 at 2:19 pm
Dear Marvi
please try to avoid to act againt the teaching of Holy prophet. (S.A.W)
To day Mr.Iqbal ehsan of PML(N) talking to news men gave the answer to the question about the president for giving a safe passage for his exit. He said this should not be happened and no one left without punishment of his sins. If it happens then every body should given the indemnity and all criminals in prison should be released. I thought he is a reasonable man but he is not. Because he forget about the person whom he and his party members are begging for, is the main beneficiary of “NRO”. And I think he is so innocent that he does not know about the “NRO”. Being Muslim he must know the saying of Holy Prophet (S.A.W) “nations were destroyed because they did not punish elites of society and punish severely to other people.” This NRO will be enough to destroy us as mentioned in Hadith
August 10, 2008 at 2:22 pm
Dear Ms. Memon:
I’m a fan! I’ve been through your website and seen you a number of times on TV. You’re doing a great job! look forward to seeing you achieving even greater heights.
I must take this opportunity to mention that I also have tremendous respect and regards for your father.
Take care.
Good luck and God speed.

Dear Marvi
In todays Dawn News “OIL MINISTRY ASKED TO CAP SUBSIDY AT RS.140BN” Would you please tell us what is the actual price of oil without adding any tax. This will help me to determin what kind of subsidy is our government is giving to the people of Pakistan. The gasoline price in Canada was Can$1.23 when the crude oil was above US$140. Is Canadian governemnt is also giving subsidy on gasoline? Althouh we are getting oil cheaper because less distance from exporting countries. Please do not fool people of Pakistan. Just do what ever you polititian want to do, the people of Pakistan can’t stop you people from looting this country.
For God sake stop this now and be honest with you job.

Madam,
I’ve been watching you on the tv shows defending musharraf. I know you are a great debater, you can leave the opponent speechless but i do not know how musharraf earned sympathy from you. I am not from any Political Party I am from the group, which people call ‘KHAMOOSH AKSARIAT’ who form the ‘AWAAM’.
I have so many things to write but I am unable to write I know it will go astray. I will not say that please change your affiliation, you are justifying wrong acts with lame excuses. just imagine, Prisoner 650 is Marvi Memon, will you have the same feelings regarding musharraf and PML Q. I am not requesting a reply just imagine…..
August 12, 2008 at 10:40 am
Dear Miss. Marvi, I saw u first time on Capital Talks of GEO, and I was really impressed by your thoughts and loyelty to Mr. P. Mushharf. I am a fan of President Musharraf too. Not coz of his personality only but coz of his policies too. I had posted many mails to him on his web site, and to PLQ Leader’s web site too. I expressed my views in those about that time’s political senario. Mein syaasat say kuchh ziada waqif nahin. lekin itna bewaqoof bhi nahin k PLMn or PPP ko sachha maan loon. Since last week, when PPP announced the impeachment of President, mein kuchh views share karna chahtaa tha. there were some points i noted durring the announcement of impeachment and after that. I wonder k aapka or President sahab ka think tank in cheezoon ko highlitght kyoun nahin karta.. for instence..
1)) When PPP & PMLn announced the impeachment on the wall behind them they had the pictures of Buhtto’s but not of Qaed-e-Aazam. (((( This should be brought up, as QAED-E-AAZAM K PAKISTAN KA, OR ISKI TAREEKH KA EK ITNA AHAM FAISLAA KIYA JAA RAHA HAI, OR ITNI BHI TOFEEQ NAHIN K UNKI EK TASWEER HI DEEWAAR PAR AAWEZAA’N KAR DE JAAE. may be they will answer to it, K, QAED-E-AAZAM TO HAMAARAY DILOON MEIN HEIN, then the response to it should be, k KIYA BHUTTO, BENAZIR, BALAAWAL OR MIAN SAHAB DIL MEIN NAHIN THAY, K UNKI TASWEER LAGAANAY KI ZAROORAT MEHSOOS HUE???? )))
2)) Impeachment mein har cheez ko uchhala jaa raha hai, even that, the price rise in pakistan is coz of his policies, the load shading is coz of his policies, the appointment of PM Shokat Aziz was his wrong dicission and so on… TOU?? ((( PRESIDENT NAY “”NRO” KIYA THA, JIS MEIN WO SUB LOG JIN PAR PAKISTAN KA PAISA LOOT KAR BAHAR BHEJNAY KA ILZAAM THA, UNKAY TAMAAM MUQADMAAT ADAALAT SAY WAPAS LE LIYE GAE THAY. AGAR EK GHAIR AAENI SADAR KA HAR IQDAAM GHAIR AAENI HAI, TO “NRO” KO BHI GHAIR AAENI QARAAR DENE KI BAAT KYOUN NAHIN KI JAARAHI??? YE BHI IMPEACHMENT KA HISSA HONA CHAHIYE. AGAR SACKING OF JUDGES EK GHAIR AAENI IQDAAM THA? OR ISKO EK EXECUTIVE ORDER SAY WAAPAS LAAYA JAA SAKTA HAI, TO “NRO” BHI USI SHAKHS NAY KIYA THA, KIYA WO EK EXECUTIVE ORDER SAY WAPAS NAHIN KIYA JAA SAKTA? IS PAR PPP OR PMLn KYOUN BAAT NAHIN KARTIEN???
3)) 58-2B,, SADAR K HAATH MEIN EK TALWAAR HAI,, OR IS KO BHI WAPAS LIYA JAANA CHAHIYE, OR YE JO TARMEEM KI GAE THI, IS KA BHI MUAAKHZAA HONA CHAHIYE. AGAR IS KO SEHI MAAN BHI LIYA JAAE? TO YE TALWAAR UNKAY HAATH EMIN “MMA” NAY DI THI, KYA “MMA” KI LEADERSHIP KA BHI EHTASAAB KIYA JAANA CHAHIYE?? K UNHOON NAY US WAQT EK GENERAL KA SAATH KIYOUN DIYA THA?? OR PAKISTAN MEIN JAMHOORIAT K MUSTAQBIL KO KYOUN KHATRAY MEIN DALLAA THA????
4)) PPP OR PMLn RESTORATION OF JUDGES KA SLOGAN LAGAA KAR ELECTION MEIN UTRI THEIN, USKAY BAWAJOOD IN DONOO PARTIES NAY USKO PEECHHAY DAAL KAR, SADAR KI IMPEACHMENT KA MASLAA KHARAA KIYA OR WO BHI 6 MAHINAY K BAAD, KIYA GAURENTEE HAI, K NIYA SADAR LAATAY WAQT YE MAZEED 1 SAAL NAHI LARTI REHEIN GI??? KIYA IS MEIN PAKISTAN KA MUSTAQBAL KHATRAY MEIN NAHIN PAREGA, TO PHIR YE DONO PARTIES ABHI APNA SADAR KYOUN NAHIN ANNOUNCE KARTI, TAKEY AWAAM KO ITMINAAN REHE, K SADAR K MAS-ALAAY PAR YE DONO PAKISTANI AWAAM KI PROBLEM KO PASH-E-PUSHT NAHIN DAALEINGI..
I agree, k shayad ye kuchh itnay strong points nahin k politically is say faeda uthhaya jaa sakay, lekin hamaari awaam ki soch bhi itni deep nahin k wo qanooni complications ko samajh sakay, wo inhi choti choti baatoon say leadar ka intakhaab karti hein. Beside i think k agar in points ko sehi moqay par or sehi tareeqay say project kiya jaae, or with due attitude, to kam az kam, CAPITAL TALK jese program mein atleast ye HAMID MEER ko bhi sochnay par majboor zaroor kareingi, k in topics par PPP or PMLn ka jawaab kiya raha..
IN THE END, I HOPE U WILL READ MY MAIL. AND WILL FIND IT WORTH TO BE READ. AGAR ISKA KOE RESPONSE AAYA, TO INSHA ALLAH, AAENDA BHI AAP SAY COMMUNICATION REHEGA.
SADAR PARVEZ MUSHHRAF KO MERA SALAAM KEHIYE GA, AND I WISH HE WILL WIN THIS BETTLE. AND GOOD TO YOU AND HIM BOTH. ALLAH HAFIZ.

August 13, 2008 at 8:31 am
This message is dedicated to Amber who asked me about Dr Afia in round about way and then got sarcastic! and for those who have asked me about Dr Afia in direct way…
PML has taken a stance to defend her. I have said the same on live tv in a press conference yesterday. Our Leader of Opposition said the same on the floor of the house.
The principle we are defending today versus perhaps when PML was in govt is …whatever the charges against her, she is a Pakistani and needs to be given fair trial to prove her innocence in Pakistan. that is the principle.
By uttering foul and vicious language against me does not solve any problems. I only published that foul language quote to exlain that I feel sorry for people who are so blinded by their hatred that they loose their language balance.

Marvi Memon or should i say venom ,How come you contested elections while your father was a caretaker minister . We don’t need to see your loyalty because obviously you were employed by the president in ISPR and then in board of investment. It’s all in the family isn’t it. Father twice federal minister because of close friendship and daughter has two posts and now Mouthpiece MNA . Well done to Musharraf. Friendship is the only merit and nepotism is the only form of government PML Q and musharraf knows. Bibi yaad hai parha likha punjab , rozana ishtihar chalta tha aur phir 18 february kp kia howa.Bibi aap ka ishtihaar bhi rozana har channel pay chal raha . Allah khair karay , pata nahin shayad musharraf sahab ka 18 february say bhi bura haal ho ga , Inshallah ho ga.
Bibi kalay kartoot jab musharraf aur Q league kay saamnay aain gay phir tv pay aana aur apnay musharraf kaygun gaana .Phir dakhain gay.
Haan akhir main aik muhawara “Jab cheunti kay marnay kay din qareeb atay hain tou us kay par nikal aatay hain”
Tumhara musharraf ibrat ka nishaan banay gi . Lal Masjid ki waja say , shortcut aziz ki waja say , america nawazi ki waja say , Dr. Aafia ki waja say . Tumhara musharraf insaani smuggler hay .
Let’s see how far you and your father go after musharraf.
Good bye good riddance
August 13, 2008 at 9:04 am
This message is dedicated to all those who have been rude and obnoxious about my defence for the President.
In life I believe in consistency and loyalty to the STATE. My opinion is obviously that President is best for the State versus all those leaders who are selling Pakistan for their own power politics under the garb of democracy. Clearly not everyone agrees with me! But that doesnt mean I loose my belief system. I will fight for what I think is right and thats my right. Just like its your right to express what you feel. Clearly my beliefs are based on certain information and yours on your information. Time and history will show who was on the right side of history and democracy.
Plus I also realize that when the going gets tough then not many people have the courage to stand up for their beliefs. And at this time those who do stand up and fight for what is perhaps not looking so popular, are targeted with all sorts of nasty lies and comments. In my opinion, its best to ignore and not get affected by such yellow dirt.
Daughter of soil name gives me the courage to fight for what I believe is right. You might not agree, but I have shown tremendous tolerance by publishing all the vicious comments thrown at me and for responding.
August 13, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Dear Marvi
Respose to your coment regarding Dr. Afia. I think every body is innocent unless otherwise proved guilty. Same should be the case of Dr. Afia. And if she is innocent then who is responsible for all the misery she faced. So my advice is do not deviate from the basic principles of humanity.God bless our country and give courage to our leaders to say truth.

What is your stand on missing person. Do you think Musharraf who handed over these people whether they were criminal or terrorists from pakistan to USA was legitimate. I donot see your stand or your party stand on this issue related to Musharraf, I . Musharraf has agreed he has done that. So is it legal or as per constitution of Pakistan.(remember the oath)
what are the rights of Woman you are fighting for. Can you tell this forum what are the ten things or rights you are fighting for Pakistani woman.
What you think should be done that not only our woman has maximum rights and equal rights and yet out society do not sway to western culture and moral value. How you plan to do that.
I really want to see your perspective on this issue or if you have delivered some speach on the floor or off the floor do let me know.

To all,
Knitted strategies, underlying realities and power politics, I feel sorry when fields are crowded rather over-crowded with players of little relevant capabilities. Very first time, when I had a look of this weblog, I thought it was going to turn the focus to real words, circumventing personal issues and party biases. We worry a lot for what we do not and/or can not do anything. We do have horrendous issues than victimising or abusing the organiser of this blog. Let the politicians to play seek and hide and try to use her presence in an effective way by suggesting for the best.
To Ms. Memon,
Whether we learn from our past or not, we as a nation always remember ruthless mishaps including the one we have witnessed regarding human trade and it’s what Mr. President unconsciously/mistakenly presented in his untimely endeavour of no literal place (It’s what I am saying after going through deeply). I donot wanna portrait a picture, but the fact is you inherit a legacy. Though politics and politician have no definite doctrine system to drive them, however we do atleast, with all differences of opinions I do believe in your personal sincerity when you speak about Kashmir and Northern issues, missing persons, education and “awaam”. You talked about “Belief System”, it demands a lot and irrespective of orientation of such a system, once you have, you should abide by the rules of game. Interesting is to find a giant elephant helpless when tied with a rope, which he could break easily. It’s what they call “Belief System”. I am sure you had heard of this myth, I will send you anyways.
Hope with all these personal allegations, you would stand there firmly with what you hear when you are alone. It’s a peak time for a lot of street gossips, hope as the clouds get thinner and fainted, you would be around/with us to think about us, the “awaam”.
Take care and keep praying

Hello Marvi,
I do agree regarding your tolerance of publishing all comments – and this is what makes a good parliamentarian.
I agree that the PPP is in no way better than Musharraf but then Musharraf is in no way better than PPP.. so basically they’re the same.. power-hungry people..
I’m just not in favour of a military dictator ruling a country with a force of a gun.. and someone who is loyal to the STATE understands that the STATE never benefits from a military dictator ruling on people – Mush may have done the right thing to throw out Nawaz’s govt. but he should’ve held elections where a president chosen by people should have been elected (and please dont remind me of that pre-planned thing called ‘referendum’ that mush designed to elect himself).
August 14, 2008 at 3:49 pm
Marvi,
You are doing a great job defending the President. I like it that you come in well prepared with your facts and then use that to skewer your oponents when they start babbling about how nothing was accomplished in the past 8 years.
You’re going to go far lady. Please don’t switch sides, go to the dark side and turn into a Sherry Rehman. We need young role models like you.
Constructive criticism: Please lose the dupatta on the head. What’s up with that? It reminds me of the phony “Islamic Period” under Zia and Nawaz.

I am impressed! and now I have a soft corner for Chauhdries just because of you. Its really amazing to see our politicians on internet having their own blog. Just want to request you one simple thing. We really love our country and hope same from all of the politicians out there. We all know that all of them do corruptions, but please not at the cost of Pakistan’s sovereignty.
We might forgive everything, but we can not forgive anyone who will try to danger the sovereignty of Pakistan for filling his banks. I Love every Pakistani if he behaves like a Pakistani.
I wish you all the best in your Political career, hope to see you leading us towards more progressive and bright Pakistan.

Dear All
Every body is speaking against the president; this is all our present government wants from the people of Pakistan. To divert the attention from the actual problems, government and the allies are quite successful. Is Mr. President advised the government not to decrease the price of petroleum products, and continue the war against terror in northern area. Even he is responsible for the law and order situation in the country. He is responsible for the poor sewerage system of Lahore. And I think more rains are his fault. Our so called government needs an escape goat to put all blames on it. But the fact is that they are all inefficient and liar and greedy. We the people can’t do any thing except pray to the God.
God bless our country and save it from these ………………………..

Then how do you justify this act of these people.so you have some sense you should leave one of them.

But I appreciate him that he accepted that he also did some mistakes very bravado man but should accountable otherwise everyone will try to do wrong and say SORRY we are all people of Pakistan could not bear the excuses because its already too much Mush. Should be accountable and punish and we want to freeze all his assets and give it to back in the account of Pakistan and please show some strength to the govt. and play your role as a powerful opposition. Because there is also too much BIG and WHITE ELEPHANT in the GOVT. every buddy knows who are waiting to sale out our country…. May Allah SAFE our country from ZARDARI. And his followers AMEEN

August 19, 2008 at 8:08 pm
I get bored with political talk and usually avoid watching TV talk shows which are all stereotyped. However I watch your shows with interest. You are very articulate, logical and speak with sincerity and passion. You can express your point of view in a few words, which is quality of a good speaker. Being a childhood friend of your father, I have known you as a baby and as a school girl. Let me say you had germs of a good speaker from the very early age. I am sure you have a very bright future in Pakistani Politics.
Now a confession. Although I liked you very much, you never earned my respect because I am against dictators and all those who support them. But now I salute you because you have stood with a fallen man when most of his closest allies have left him. This human value I admire the most. Keep it up.

Thankyou to all those who feel I showed loyalty despite tough times. And special note for Mr Arshad who thinks President wasted 4 months of nation. It was coalition govt who put country through waste of time impeachment process which proved damaging for our economy. Time will tell all Pakistanis the coalition govt’s real motives.

One Elected President, Two Unelected Politicians
In Beijing, world celebrates human achievement while in Islamabad we are stuck with politics
I wish our people and our leaders would understand that having political differences should not stand in the way of appreciating progress
Thanks to President Musharraf export revenue more than doubled, foreign direct investment increased from a meager $1 billion to $8 billion, and the Karachi stock exchange was widely touted as one of the best performing markets in the world.
This is a man who gave Pakistan a free television news culture and oversaw the freest election in our history.
This is a manufactured political crisis that will embolden Pakistan’s ill-wishers and will sadly assure foreign investors that Pakistan is no place for their business.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—At the dawn of the Beijing Olympics, talk of Pakistan’s chances at field hockey glory have taken a back seat to the de-facto national sport: Politics.
Beyond the hype, it’s time to take a moment and examine the situation. It seems as if the nearly divorced coalition has decided to stick together in pursuit of the President’s impeachment.
One would be convinced of their genuine commitment, if not for the fact that the last such joint press briefing was to announce the Murree Declaration, now defunct.
But it’s important to look behind this smokescreen. After all, why would it take marathon talks if there weren’t serious problems behind the scenes?
Farooq Naik, the law minister, was kicked out of the talks—twice.
According to a report in the Daily Times, Shahbaz Sharif felt that Naik could not be trusted amidst the Sindh High Court judges’ fiasco, and asked Zardari to remove him from the negotiations not only in the Prime Minister’s House, but also at Zardari House.
I suppose it’s acceptable in political circles to ask your host to kick out his own guest.
In any case, a draft was agreed upon and presented to the nation for all to see. On the face of it, the case seems compelling for the common man: Musharraf has acted unconstitutionally, is responsible for the economic crisis, and he must go in order for democracy to flourish. A legal expert would be needed to examine the complex constitutional question, such as if the PCOs of 1999 and 2000 (both validated by the Supreme Court) are fair game for impeachment.
As for the economy and the democracy argument, things are a bit clearer.
It is hard to dismiss the vast economic improvements of Pakistan since 1999, and to float it as possible grounds for impeachment is laughable. Almost every major macro-economic indicator points to the economic turnaround of the past decade. Even if the 20-fold increase in foreign reserve levels can be whisked away as a byproduct of foreign aid, what about the results? On the business side, export revenue more than doubled, foreign direct investment increased from a meager $1 billion to $8 billion, and the Karachi stock exchange was widely touted as one of the best performing markets in the world. The National Commission for Human Development was conceived, helping achieve poverty reduction, a rise in literacy, and a 600% increase in funds for development programs. I wish our people and our leaders would understand that having political differences should not stand in the way of appreciating progress and pursuing our national interests; the economy being supreme.
As for democracy, it seems ironic that an elected President who oversaw the fairest elections in Pakistan’s recent history is being cited as a hindrance for democracy by two unelected politicians.
But even more important is the fact that the duly elected Prime Minister, as well as the leading party’s president (also an elected member of parliament) were both not present in the talks.
Makhdoom Amin Fahim has gone as far as to publicly separate himself from the Government, denounce the march to impeachment, and plead the Government to take notice of a very serious and rapidly deteriorating security and economic situation. He supposedly has even met with PML-Q leadership, which must have political analysts grabbing their calculators to re-analyze the number game in the event of some treasury members abstaining from an impeachment vote.
Critics of President Bush often rightfully say that the war in Iraq was a “war of choice.” The impeachment saga is no different. In the face of unprecedented security threats in the tribal belt, with growing reports of foreign interference to destabilize the country, and an ever-worsening economy, this manufactured political crisis will embolden Pakistan’s ill-wishers, and will sadly assure foreign investors that Pakistan is no place for their business.
No matter how impeachment goes, no one seems to win, as Pakistan is definitely the one to lose. Let’s hope at least our Olympic team can change that.

Indeed, yesterday was a very sad day for all Pakistan and President lovers. We have been deprived of a great leader in the name of democracy. But let me say, all it happens because of we silent majority who never cast its vote. If this silent majority cast its vote in Feb 2008 election, the situation might be different. He was the man who have a vision on each and every problem of the nation whether it is water, electricity, education and health etc. He took the economy on its peek and its benefits were supposed to tickle down to the poor during this five years which unfortunately have been given to the corrupt political leaders in the name of democracy. Democracy in Pakistan itself is joke, where people doesn’t know for whom they are casting their votes due to illiteracy. They have been asked just to put the stamp on such and such election symbol; where the vote is casted not on the basis of parties manifestos, but on the basis of different affiliations i.e. religious, baradri, under the influence of Sardar, Vadera, Jagirdar and so on. That’s why, during last 61 years, we are having politicians from the same segments of the society for whom the politics is business and trade who either way whether they come into the power or remain in opposition, make money and accumulate their bank balances and assets. Their parties are their properties i.e. PPPP, PML(N), PML(Q), APN, JI(F) of their family and run by the family members only one after the other. The history reveals that only 30 to 40% registered voters cast their votes which is divided into number of political parties. Keeping in view the influence of aforementioned segments, official and unofficial riggings, the party who gets hardly 10% votes claims the majority party having overwhelming majority for forming the government. The remaining 70%/60% registered voters who do not cast their vote and unregistered voters are given no value and its impact is totally ignored. The dilemma of our nation is that we were sleeping on 13th August, 1947 and when woke up next morning we got a new country called Pakistan. If we go through the history, we will find that only a handful personnel from the existing Pakistan region took the part in Independence movement. That’s why majority of us and especially our leaders don’t have national spirit. We and our leaders always keep in our minds our own interest and benefits only. Whatever has happened with President Musharaf provides us an opportunity to think about the lake of sincere leadership, our political environment, the character and attitude of our politicians and above all is this the true democracy? Our leaders are making the general public fool in the name of democracy and enhancing their wealth and assets. Now the destiny of our nation and country is in the hands two unelected corrupt leaders. President well said in his last address to the nation “Pakistan Ka Khuda Hafiz”. I strongly believe that without eliminating feudal and bradri systems, increasing literacy level and cultivating national spirit we cannot have a true democracy. It seems only my dream since the power brokers in our country can never do it or allow to to it. In fact, it seems that our country is in the grip of different kind of mafias i.e. politicians, drug, land, food/grains mafia, stock exchange mafia etc and they are playing their respective roles for their own interest and gains. General public cannot do any thing to get any relief or to get rid of them unless and until there should be a bloody revolution in which at least 20/50 lakhs should be killed. There is no other option to save the country.

Dear Marvi
I am deeply shocked to hear your views on current Pakistan politics. Looking at your educational background, one would think that you will come up with ideas which are liberal, democratic and invite others to think. But unfortunately you have sided yourself with someone who has caused major destruction to the pakistan politics and society. Future generation will never forgive what Mufharaf has done in his 9 years as the most powerfull person in pakistan’s establishment. Its shame to see such a young person like you wasting her energies for a cause which has failed time and again. I can only wish you best of luck, may be you can use your energies in more positive way. You could have done (and may have done already) much better without your father’s influance which led you to the become MNA and that is from PML Q as well……what a shame…
Thanks

what do you think there is no liability on president mushraff for his previous odds done to pakistan. Following this prcedence all the criminals under trials in various courts should also be freed what about the downing of atlantic aircraft by india in the face of kargil. your comments please.
August 20, 2008 at 5:33 pm
Dear Marvi,
I think you got wrong agenda with wrong people. I don’t know but when defend Dictator Musharaf, i feel pitty for you.
I have heard you on TV “Shows”. Frankly speaking your talk is not that much effective. You always cry. hmmm.
I hope you will get some knowledge with time.
Bi bi musharaf. May God take the revenge from you of slaughring thousands of innocent people!

August 21, 2008 at 2:31 am
Again I have some comments swearing at me for defending ‘dictator’ and other comments which express support for President Musharraf.
I was sitting in the Assembly yesterday and looking around myself… mostly (not completely)where ever I look everyone is wanting iktidaar and perks. We discussed tourism yesterday but the burning issues of food, energy, security, extremism get left behind. Some Advisor will stand up and glorify his achievements in one small area ignoring larger picture. Another will get up and blame it all on 8 years!
I have raised all the real issues but they dont come to forefront because govt pushes them out of agenda and when I tried to link ..how can you expect tourism to increase when extremism sectarian violence during your 5 months is on rise, I got told not relevant. Very frustrating.
I have also come to another conclusion… those who see good in President Musharraf’s era cannot change their minds and those who see bad in it cannot change their minds (just yet). Its best if we use this forum for solutions of above issues.
This morning the chap at the petrol pump I go to regularly, at the shop inside, spoke up after months; saying you ask good questions in the assembly but you get no answers. I was happy to see that the debates are watched. But saddened to see the helplessness. He is as convinced as I am that the real issues are not being debated and people play politics for wrong reasons as well as the fact that this discussion in assembly doesnt put any binding pressure for resolution even if real issues are discussed. So much for parliament’s real supremacy.
I am also asked by some why should we believe you when all politicians have failed us. My answer to that is I am trying very hard to push right agenda for discussion and solution when all of what the forces are trying to do is musical chairs. The real success rate is not the talkshows or the speeches, its getting solutions to the real problems resolved by govt. That is an uphill task. The silent majority must help us. I never give up and I dont like despondency. But I am a realist.
If you say you care about the country pls help me get solutions to the real issues implemented by this govt; by writing solutions and ideas. It doesnt matter whether you hate my leadership or like my leadership. Solutions to real issues pls. Govt has wasted enough time horsetrading and pushing vendetta politics first.
August 21, 2008 at 6:20 am
Madam
It is very refreshing to have explored a website that is being run by a living “on the job” parlimentarian.
I have not been able to read all of your replies and comments but even then it is provides solace.
Since you are an educated woman and coming from a noble background we expect you to do nobler things.
Here are some half cooked pointers:
You should try to make education, healthcare and social justice your prime targets to acheive. These are burning issues and have received no importance from the leadership that is worthy and revolutionizing the affairs prevelant in this country. For starters look for cheap construction solutions for 2/3 room basic health units in rural areas 9this can also go for housing) where people are dying just beacuse of insufficient health services. Provide special funds for the “real poor” and smart kids to acheive scholorships. One way would be to hold competitive exams for all classes all over pakistan for kids belonging tocertain income group. There could be a model tests run at various locations, shouldn’t be difficult.
I am sure you have plenty of issues at hand and workin on those but at the same time lets make this site a home turf for floating genuinely realistic solutions to facilitate for basic needs of all.
Thank you and keep up the good work.
All the best!

Hidden Activities Of Mr. Zard……..Aari & Mr. Shar…..If
Peoples Party’s so called Chairman Mr. Aasif Ali Zardari, is looking for an exit from his party, from Pakistan’s present mess and from active politics,Most probably, people of Pakistan might get sudden news that Mr. Zardari is seriously ill and would be away for som time from active politics,(and that ’some time’ might be forever) .in fact, Aasif Ali Zardari and Mr. Nawaz Sharif are virtually dead, gone, bifurcated,Pakistan’s some channels (so-called) anchor mafia and press are keeping them alive, trying to infuse life in their dead bodies, Everyday some popular and experienced pesons Newspapers put some headlines to boost the marale of the public. in fact, some (so-called) press and media’s ugly survivel is that of Mr.Zardar and Mr.Sharif,to keep the hot issue alive, like (under observation) Mr. Iftikhar Chaudhary, who is History now,Aitezaz Ahsan, would you bet your Bar-at-Law degree on that?ZARDARI BUSY CHECKING HIS BANK ACCOUNTSThe so-called Co-Chairman of peoples part has made than a dozen visits to London, Dubai and other parts of the world on record(no one knows how many hidden,secret visits elsewhere) after the assassination his wife.The Peoples Party’s loudspeaker like Sherry Rehman, (Sher Bano) Farhatullah Babar and many other use to giving justification that, Zardari’s these trips to the public through the some so-called media by saying that since ,Zardari is playing the part of both the mother and the father to his children after the (sad) assassination of Great Benazir Bhutto, so he has to be away to take care of his children, Bullshit!
They are no more children, They have attain pubirty, They are big kid, teenagers, grown up in the West. Aasif Zardari does not need to baby sit them or push feeders in their mouths, Thease are lame excuse. Zardari goes abroad ever now and then to check his bank accounts and count his properties,thans to Presiden Pervez Musharraf’s NRO! Pervez Musharraf and his alies would die deaths that would be an example for the world.and very sorry, Let me tell you that all of we and our political leaders are ugly,corrupt,freaky, stinking, and haggard, these race of we and leaders would die miserably and helplessly in leprosy,heart attackes,cancer, diabetes,HIV, and other painful .HUNDRED(100)days of senseless and empty slogans1, How many times Nawaz Sharif and Aasif Zardari had meetings in Lahore,Islamabad, Bhurban, Rawalpindi and Dubai and London.etc?2, How many times Aasif Zardari and Nawaz Sharif left for Dubai,London on record and secret visitis other destinations?3, Who is the man in power.PM Gilani or Governing party’s so-called Co-Chairman?4, The Costs of each and every utilities soaring,Like Gasoline has juggled at 70 to 78 PKR, Dollar has jumped to 74.89 Rs agains PKR.5, The innocent 99.99% of the peoples of Pakistan have been pushed towards pain, just empt, baseless, egoistic,dirtful claims and statements by these leaders,which are being heard to masses, Aasif Zardari repeatedly says Shaheed this, Shaheed that, jeay Bhutto, jeay Benazir, President House would be echoing with the slogans of Jeay Bhutto,nothing else? President would be the party’s worker. all the lollypops, drama are being played with the struggled workers, all Bullshit, my……..? (advance sorry)6, Believe us that Aasif Zardari, Nawaz Sharif, Pervez Musharraf and other political shungens have no interet in Great Pakistan, or Peoples or their own parties as wel, but Mr. Iftikhar Chaudhary,, all otherrs and Aasif Zardari just taking care of bank accounts and properties all over the world.
7, Zardari did not choose to become a Prime Minister in the first place, as he wanted privacy and confidentiality to organize his bank accounts and properties all over the world.a little bird has told us that as soon as Aasif Zardari is free, he would kick out the Yousuf Raza Gilani from PM House.8, The man known as Mr.Ten percent(in recent past) knows that waiting for 8-9 years for Bilawal is along time, when Bilawal will finish his education and get training to enter politics, not to mention that the sword of the real Bhuttos hangs on his head. A day is about to come when Aasif Zardari has to leave the fake combine slogan of Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, when the real Bhuttos move for the Kill.A piece of our Humble advice for Namaz Sharif Learn a lesson from Saddam Hussain’s breaking neck!……………

To anum1 (August 20, 2008 at 10:53 am) and Salman Mansoor (August 20, 2008 at 11:24 am)
I wish I could comment/rectify the facts about KSE, visionary leadership, freedom of information media, mega projects bla bla bla in last nine years, however I feel we should respect to the sentiments of Ms. Marvi Memon (August 21, 2008 at 2:31 am). She is “absolutely” right when she mentioned
“If you say you care about the country pls help me get solutions to the real issues implemented by this govt; by writing solutions and ideas.”
To Ms. Marvi Memon
We have following pending questions; pls get some time to address these. Give your personal opinion, even though very briefly. I fully concur, these questions have nothing to do towards the betterment of existing situation but I am sure it would bridge the gap and prove as a deposit of trust between you and your readers, ultimately a way forward to a cordial and healthy discussion about the real issues.
1. By Dr. Rizwan (July 31, 2008 at 12:57 pm) about an injured/ paralyzed 3rd year MBBS student of Ayub Medical College, Abbottabad, who was compelled to abandon her studies by the administration of the college due to tragic mishap.
2. By Nasir (August 11, 2008 at 8:31 am ) “Would you please tell us what is the actual price of oil without adding any tax”.
3. By tehmoor (August 13, 2008 at 4:26 pm ) “What is your stand on missing person. Do you think Musharraf who handed over these people whether they were criminal or terrorists from pakistan to USA was legitimate”.
4. By tehmoor (August 13, 2008 at 4:26 pm ) “what are the rights of Woman you are fighting for.”
5. By abdul qayoom (August 20, 2008 at 8:18 am) “why the members of ur party r dispursed?”
6. saeed kayani (August 20, 2008 at 2:47 pm) Why not Mr. Musharraf to put forward for the trial for his actions like red mosque, trading of human beings, violent exercise of force in northern areas, house arrest of judges and what about Akbar Bugti (late)? If indemnity to Mr. Musharraf then why not to all the criminal facing trials at the moment?
7. NSS-Yesterday I had a look of 31 members announced by Dr. Mirza for Kashmir committee. It was bizarre not to see you in the list while Mr. Nakai and Begum Atiya etc were there from PML. I am sure Kashmir issue is one of your strengths and for such a sensitive issue, we needed a young, motivated and determined person like yourself. Were the members picked by Mrs. Speaker or forwarded by your leadership?
Take care and keep praying

Hie Marvi Memon Future Prime Minister By Looks:P
I hope Asif Zardari is reading all this and has something to say. If not please publish his email so we can all write to him.
Sad I am. Sad sad sad. But why do not the people in the PPP believe in these fact so clearly put up by you. So much money. so much money in the hands of only one person. he should be able to buy the ammendments in the constitution. He should be able to buy the presidency. He should be able to buy the restoration of the judges. He can make Basha Dam on his own with a little help from the Sharif brothers.
Why does he want more money. The following are someof the rumours circulating.
1. A jeweller called Kasuria in Karachi has been threatened by Zardari to extort 50 million dollars.
2.Mr. Mansha of the MCB was phoned while he was flying on his private plane to write off 28 crore loan of a friend.
3.The new Islamabad Airport construction contract has been given to a friendly company in a backdated agreement to steal money
4. Redundant and useless submarines are being purchased in collaboration with the Naval chief.
5. Useless and discredited people are being posted as ambassadors and to important positions in PIA.
I use earplugs if i have to go to a dinner or a marriage funtion because society is getting into a frenzy about Asif Zardari,s corruption.

Dear, I acknowledge and appreciate your sincere endeavour to enlighten us with, most likely, the facts about Mr. Zardari and rest of the political giants. Having said that, in connection with your previous response, I have my reservations when you expressed about trickily justified and deceitful claims of prosperity during previous regime. It’s indeed an awesome hobby to surfing internet and to find the rumours/facts are on finger tips of everyone who knows how to play. We educated blokes-because of you guys, privilege is mine
- should use this forum with positive spirit and let the burning controversial realities for the blog (s) you referred. I already have requested
“leave the cynical attitude and point scoring tactics for “Gladiators” of the political spheres”
and I am sure Ms. Marvi Memon would have something to comment in the light of her comments (August 5, 2008 at 11:37 am)
“Party Leadership must be respected ……. Leadership bashing in the emails I have received by some of you is not productive activity. I believe there is good in most individuals and one must learn from leadership the good. One must zoom into good and ignore the rest, in general in life. That gets you positive approach”
So we are there with all our skills and abilities for our nation, are we???
Take care and keep praying
ALLAH HAFIZ
P.S: By no means, it explains my affiliation with PPPP. I am certain of highlighting much more about Mr. Zardari and any other politician than you mentioned, and believe me I am copiously vocal at this on a right forum.
August 22, 2008 at 3:16 pm
For Salman Mansoor
I think you are good, rather master at English, and might have impressed Marvi Memon by using good enough adjectives, mostly sounding negative, and jargons. I think you have left no person good for this country.
Why this forum is being misused by posting long,irrelevant and good-for-nothing stuff on this blog. I think we must suggest somthing positive and constructive to Marvi that can help her drive this poor nation out of this chaotic situation.
I am saying this as an impartial and unbiased Pakistani. Hope that it may be considered in the better interest of the nation.

Thanks Mr.Salmam Mansoor for putting all answerable questions together to ease MS Marvi to answer one by one.
Mr. Raja Ashraf (minister for water & power) said the load shading will be reduced to 3 hrs from 30th august 2008.would you please ask the honorable minister to explain how it will happen. And if it was a political promise, then my advice to all such ministers is “please keep your big mouth shut”
Ilama Iqbal says” HUM KO TU MUYASSAR NAHEEN MATEE KA DIYA BHEE, GHAR PEER KA BIJLI K CHRAGHOON SAY HAY ROSHAN.
Prime minister’s house in Multan is exempt from load shading.
Please tell the people of Pakistan how much this parliament costs to the nation with out any out put.

August 25, 2008 at 5:14 am
……and i thought heres a people’s blog where one can insinuate according to one’s expertise about things to be done. There are many blogs and really interactive ones where one can post “political stuff” and get the feedback. I dont think marvi’s e-mails are meant for that.
Anyhow i totally agree to Mr Manssor since there are other rumors too but the point is who cares!! When not even a single soul is honest and true to their purpose and count their efforts to rise in life more than Allah’s blessing upon them this is what happens, they think that they are demigods born to rule and thast shirk, unpardonable sin! I hope better sense prevails in all factions of PML and soon-to-happen all factions of PPP.

Madam,
U very ritely said that one can not changed his views abt Musharraf , those who support will continue so n vise versa.
I give credit to u for providing a plateform to give feedback to an MNA.Maybe some of them implemented .
so two penny from my side (maybe these are already known to u)
Problem : Real estate Price increase
Cause : Investment is done solely to wait for increase in price and hence get return
Impact : Prices are getting up and up while common man can not buy a piece of land to make home.
Solution :
Put multiple tax on residential land so that one shud buy only when one wants to utilize it.
Put additional factor when one piece of land is sold with in 6 months so to discourage resale of land files
Result :
Money which is invested on real estate will move to other productive areas like industry or stock market.
Increase in revenue
August 25, 2008 at 6:32 am
Problem : Tourism development
Cause : Unsafe general and political situation of country
Impact : Tourism going down -> ppl getting workless -> More prone to militancy
Solution : Though situation is very bad in country still this year record expedition teams came from abroad.
1.Develop other areas such as Gorkh hill station in sindh
2. Make double way to reach skardo / gilgit so to reduce time of travel.
August 26, 2008 at 12:54 pm
poor marvi memon
can u tell me why u are not on democratic side
August 26, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Can anyone let me know who is this is NSS???? I remembered i heard in a TV show Mr. Zardari friend were there and he said “Zardari Sahib should keep in his MIND now there is no Baynazir who will bring him out from prisons” so what does it means. As far as i understand the meaning of this do crystal clear politics and think about long term not only short term to make a money and run…. Just think

On 14Th August 2008, my friend called me on my cell and asked me to come to Pearl Continental Peshawar and I was literally completely shattered with the events that took place there.
As any other Pakistani, on 14th august at such places one can only expect celebration, patriotic numbers, jubilance and of course Pakistani Flags every where But No Sir, the “COMIC GROUP” by the name of “JANG GROUP” was holding a seminar and ladies and gentleman look what was the topic for that seminar QUAID AUR IQBAL KA KHWAB; SADAR KA MOWAKHIZA??????????????????????????????
And now the list of speakers, whom were there as the “Intellects” of N.W.F.P, none out of those 10 were wearing Pakistani flags on their chest and only two bothered to say Jashn-e-Azadi Mubarik at the end of their speeches, where in their speeches all of them did the “in thing” these days which is called Musharraf Bashing and they started crossing limit when they started talking against ISI and MI as if they are talking about KHAD and RAW. And at that point when Haji Adeel and Latif Afridi started mudslinging Quaid-e-Azam and Allama Mohd. Iqbal, my friend and me, we both lost our patience but both decided to blast later.
Anyways me and my friend stored a lot of ammo for the question answer session but we were shocked to see that there was none !!!!!!
Well as we couldn’t do anything about it, so to condole ourselves in unison we said Maybe Next Time.
My friend had few Pakistani badges with him and he said lets just give them, these to wear, as they may not have enough time to buy one, so when we went to the SAHAFI sahib editor of JANG Peshawar and gave him the badge, he couldn’t utter a single word out of sheer embarrassment had a slight smile on his face and took it shamelessly then we went to some other panelists and somewhat their reactions were the same, but what happened with one of the gentleman there, I shall never forget that for the rest of my life, he was non other than President Peshawar Bar Latif Afridi, the champion of the RAW, PML-N and ASMA JEHANGIR architected war of “TILTED JUDICARY”,,,,,,, HE CATEGORICALLY REFUSED TO WEAR THE PAKISTANI FLAG AND SAID “MAIN ISS PAR SOCHONGA”?????
And those who don’t know he is a party member of Awami National Party (ANP), any ways later in the day I was wondering that what the hell is this, the Chief Minister of this province is from this damn party who badmouths our premiere intelligence agencies and disrespects the Founding Father and the National Poet, also disregards the National Flag??? In whose hand we are?????
From that day onwards I realized that there is just only one problem of Pakistan and that is we have mostly been into the wrong hands, we’ve mostly being ruled by Thugs, choors, Looters and such filthy unpatriotic rascals, who don’t know that what is the place of Quaid-e-Azam and Allama Iqbal.
Only two leaders are only there to name who really did wanted to do something for this Half Uneducated and Half Educatedly Uneducated population, which Habib Jalib has termed as “10crore gadhay” (now they are 16crore), who are basically “Jehal Ka Nichor”……
Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was a peoples champ but at the end it was this moment which swallowed him, he also ordered a Military Operation in Baluchistan and after the formation of the constitution it was he who did the first few amendments in it.
And at the end of his rule he was termed as Sharabi, Kababi and so on……
And the same was with Former President Musharraf, he took the Pakistan into the Next 11, turned around the shattered Pakistani Economy, healed the tarnished Pakistani image in the Inter National Arena and exposed this undeserving nation to the true essence of democracy by letting the satellite invasion hit this part of the world and issued licenses to News channels without signing any code of conduct or regulatory policy, which never happens anywhere in the world.
But look now how we paid back………
And look a Parliamentarian; in fact a “WOMAN” Parliamentarian has taken an unprecedented initiative by starting a direct people to people contact…. I mean tell me does she really need to do this, shouldn’t she just like other parliamentarians, come to the session of National Assembly just come and go in her Prado back to her house.
But instead doing this she has come to the stupid people, the local public which they call “AWAM”, thinking that they shall tell her about their issues that matters to them and give their insight into things that really matters to the common man on the street but I wonder why she doesn’t realize that these people are so sick that they are suffering from Musharraf Phobia and they are so much engulfed in hatred against Former President thanks to the 18months long therapy provided to them either OFF THE RECORD, or doing CAPITAL TALK, seeing LIVE WITH TALAT and feeling as if they are BOLTA PAKISTAN.
For God’s sake come over this now, grow up kiddos.
I literally salute to Ms Marvi for her approach towards highlighting the real issues of the common man and doing what ever she can do for it. And even going to the limit of putting her cell number on the internet to give direct access to people who are actually in need of some help, also introducing this new way of interacting with the public and concentrating on the real issues that really matters to the common man and her sincerity, resolve, desire and commitment clearly reflects itself through this exceptional move by introducing her own website where we can actually write to her.

Why do we (Pakistani) need a a president in a parliamentarian democratic system. Look at UK.
All powers must be with a prime minister. He can not do anything with approval from National assembly and Senate. All the ruling must have to be approved from National Assembly and senate with 2/3. An independent Judiciary is necessary to monitor the abuse of power. A member of senate must be elected by the people of Pakistan like a member of national assembly.
Kindly tell me the percentage (%) of Poor, Middle Class and Rich in Pakistan.
Poor(%) Middle Class (%) Rich(%)
======= ================ =======
If we have the same percentage in the National Assembly and senate, this mean we have democracy.
I want to ask question to all Pakistanis, What is the achievement of Z.A. Bhutto, Benazir Bhutto, Nawaz Sharif, Asif Zardari, Fazal-ur-Rehman, ANP leader, Iltaf Hussein.
What has been done (good) for Pakistan by these individuals.
I request a court marshal for Ayub Khan, Zia Ul Haq, Musharf and all generals who were helping them including Hamid Gul.
Why all the politician have been successful and the nation of Pakistan is the looser?
What Zardari was doing (Job) to make Million/Billions of dollars. Nation want to know.
Same is the question for Z.A. Bhutto, Benazir Bhutto, Nawaz Sharif, Asif Zardari, Fazal-ur-Rehman, ANP leader,.All the Pakistanis must have exclusive right to ask these question.
Pakistan Zindabad.

Salman says….Peoples are sick and tried of politicians they are fighting for their own agendas. No body is serious about public’s problem, they have created phony (false) issues to divert the attention of the public from their (public’s) real and urgent issues, which can’t wait….
Please watch Dawn TV tonight 29 August(10pm on Farhan Bokhari’s show to hear me say something similar…I have tried to identify the real issues of the common man and of the disasters we are going through as a country, the downward trends!!! Also the seminar of Pak Liberal Forum where I was guest speaker last week.
As a new politician I am not happy with the time wasted on politiking. the amount of pulls and pushes I have seen in the last few weeks! I am trying to keep focussed on real issues of common man and what is best for Pakistan’s national interest, meaning whatever coalitions happen in the future must be in Pak’s best interest so that governance takes place.
I wish the ballot for presidential elections was not secret so that no amount of horsetrading would destabilize systems. So that ALL party members would be disciplined and unified. I often feel that other than one odd party all other parties are full of individuals who have their own individual interests which they put over and above party interests.
Anyway, the silent majority must help us express the belief that Pakistanis want governance and stability of system. Not politiking!
I am seeing all ths politiking through a close lens. I hope that when we are in the driving seat we have a different political culture so that we concentrate on the real issues. For now, I am part of this system and if I wish to improve it, I must understand how best to change it from within. Trust me its much easier to criticize from outside; changing it takes lifetimes of persistence in progressive liberal beliefs. The struggle seems to have just started…
August 29, 2008 at 5:32 pm
I want to divert the attention towards power crisis. You know the situation of power in all the cities of country. It remains off almost 18 hours out of 24. A common man wants to know who is opposing the Kalabagh Dam? These are just politicians who do their politics in the name of Kalabagh Dam. You know and you can see the data. All the first world countries are making most of their enery with their coal reservoirs. Pakistan is the fifth largest country in terms of coal reservoirs then why dont we go for energy to be produced with coal? Why dont we invest in that?
August 29, 2008 at 9:32 pm
Marvi, I really like you and really appreciate your comments on the Media. But sometimes you go so much out of the way for the poor that people start getting you wrong.
Simply because the trend is not to speak for the poor.
The one who is working for the poor seems bad to everyone and we can see the amount of negative and JAHIL propoganda done against you in the AAJ TV programme Bolta Pakistan.
When we try to call and defend your position and ppl like you they don’t let us speak and cut our lines.
I hope you carry on the good work and your motivation always remain at the fullest.
Take Care.
August 29, 2008 at 9:51 pm
My comments It appears that we are being ruled by those, who do not feel or take any responsibility for their actions and do not bother what results will be achieved by their actions. Everything is being done halfheartedly, in a disconnected manner and then just forget about it, what they said or promised yesterday. There is no will, no road map, no plan, no achievable goals in front of our rulers. I wish and hope the rulers
have sympathy on Pakistanis. If they are inefficient to handle the issues, let them vacate and allow new people to take responsibility.
One dirty bath room in a military hospital, brought down dozens of generals, civilian leadership of Army, Army Secretary included, either dismissed or voluntarily resigned. But what happened when poor people paid crores for folly of mistakes in budget regarding error in printing wrong rate of CNG. Had anybody been punished or voluntarily resigned? Any Minister resigned? shame, shame. shame.
I am seriously starting doubting AH’s intentions too. If by sitting in the PPP meetings, he can see all this happening and then digesting FN’s regular gibberish, he wants to benefit from “chit bhee meri aur pat bhee meri” kind of situation. Either case, he can claim that I was with the winners.
How much Mushtaq Minhas is paid by NS for protecting him unjustifiably?
@ Marvi u may very well be the last hope for the demoracy movement in that country for quite some time. i wish you well.

Since you and your father have been politically engaged with issues of Northern Areas, I thought you should know how your actions are percevied and received there.
Following article was published in Pamir Times a widely read online newsblog from Northern Areas.
Op-Ed: Marvi Memon on pushing a bill for Northern Areas
August 26, 2008
by Ali Al – Hakim
What was common between former President Gen. Pervez Musharraf, Aaj TV anchor Syed Talat Hussein, and MNA Marvi Memon is their sporadic and marginal interest in taking a relatively favourable stand on the issue of constitutional rights for the people of GB. In a recent TV debate Talat Hussein tried to introduce the infant and fledgling struggle for rights and justice in NA’s, by inviting few of the so called elected members of the toothless NALA. In a similar vein Gen. Musharraf who ultimately became unpopular across the country had however a soft corner for the people of Giligit-Baltistan. Karakorum University, expansion of KKH, and upgrading NALA to a relatively respectable position will certainly form part of Musharraf’s legacy in Northern Areas. I think Marvi Memon could well be one of those people who have taken upon themselves to touch the lives of our people one way or the other. She has introduced this new bill in the National Assembly apparently to kick off a debate that would perhaps pave the way towards granting a provincial status to Giligit-Baltistan. I think this must be welcomed on several grounds.
While it has been pointed out that Marvi Memon failed to take such a step when her own government (PML-Q) was in power, and the latest attempt is nothing but a parochial political game to drag the incumbent government into a tasteless battle. However, I believe that this should be of marginal interest, or of no concern to us. The proposal should be welcomed because such steps not only seek to put the concerns of GB on the national agenda but they also expose both our well-wishers and ill-wishers alike, sitting in the corridors of power in Islamabad.
Let’s remember that when Congress was founded in 1886 by a Brit, it was intended to channel political views of Her Majesty’s Indian subjects through a proper platform. Viceroys and British establishment saw this move as an apparently harmless attempt to give Indian people some sense of political participation in the affairs of the state. A. O. Hume and his compatriots might never have imagined even in their wildest dreams that Indian National Congress would subsequently emerge as a formidable political force that would unleash a great wave of resistance to British Empire, ultimately dislodging the Raj from Indian sub-continent. Like A.O. Hume, Marvi Memon and others may have ulterior motives, business, or commercial or whatever we should however consider her desire to be part of our struggle. Such bills would surely serve as wake-up calls to members of Pakistan’s slumbering political class. After all we count and remember Major Brown a Scotsman as one of our heroes who helped us free ourselves from the Dogra Raj in 1949. History, including our own in GB is full of mysterious stories in which various forces have ‘conspired to help’ us what we have wanted and willed. Now, if we want our rights, identity and political struggle to be re-asserted then we should seize every opportunity to take forces of politics on our side.
The National Assembly bill tabled by Marvi should have elicited a healthy debate that could have helped sharpen the edges of political impasse on the question of Giligit-Baltistan. Very sadly members of the Pakistani ruling class choose to truncate this important concern of ours by not taking it seriously. Let us also remember the loathsome world ’sensitive’ that has been uttered countless times by the members of the Pakistani establishment when it comes to answer a question regarding the problems of Gilgit-Baltistan. In response to Marvi’s proposal our so called Federal Minister for Northern Areas and Kashmir Affairs used the word ’sensitive’ to project our issues as if we are some sort of a sacrificial animal who must be locked up until the time for the ritual is up. I sadly note that the deceptive word ’sensitive’ is nothing but a big smokescreen that helps veil unwillingness of Pakistani establishment to seriously address issues of GB. When Kaira visits Giligit next time our people should make him realise that time of playing hide and seek game with the people of Giligt-Baltistan is over now.
Now is the time to snatch ’sensitive’ from the vocabulary of our alien rulers sitting in Islamabad who have frustrated the political journey of the people of GB to achieve our long-due and deserved destiny of equality, liberty and brotherhood. We have nothing to lose but our subjugation and we have our deserved freedoms to be won.

Al-Hakim is a good friend of mine with keen interest in the politics of Gilgit-Baltistan and with trainings from one of the best universities in the world in the area of Globalization and civil society. He has very effectively encompassed the issue of abusing the basic political and human rights of the people of Gilgit-Baltistan.
Let us appreciate the case forwarded by Marvi Memon in the fragile National Assembly of Pakistan, which in its history used power to decided most of bad than good. However, at the same time we need to be cautious of not losing driving seat of the struggle for the liberation of Gilgit-Baltistan and let again people from Pakistan to take it, who have their own selfish personal interests than the welfare and development of people of GB.
I do agree very strongly with the idea of conveying the frustrated feelings of political and economic alienation of the people of Gilgit-Baltistan to the illegitimate leaders from Pakistan. These include the infamous Minister for Northern area and Kashmir affairs or whoever comes to our region with intention to rule, should know in sure way that they are not going to keep this area as a sacrificial animal, for the cause of Kashmir.
Apart from wakening and dazzling Pakistani establishment regarding the political awareness of brave people of GB we need to knock and make aware of the violations of international human rights and abuses of the people of the Gilgit-Baltistan by Pakistani establishment.
Let’s remember this is not an easy way to venture upon it, I am quite sure of the successful achievements of this struggle, as people of the Gilgit Baltistan are not cowards and lazy. They are brave and some of the most energetic people in the world to take up toughest adventures both intellectually and physically. Thus let,s inflame the light of real freedom and extinguish the darkness of occupation and colonization of Gilgit-Baltistan.

I do fully agree with Ali Al-Hakim and true comments of Abbass Ali and would appreciate their intellectual contribution in favor of the constitutional status of the innocent people of Gilgit-Baltistan. However, the intellectuals like you people need to take a lead role to motivate and realize the mass people of GB in general and the youths in particular about availing or snatching their basic rights.
The efforts of Marvi Memon is although appreciating but it is considered by many critiques ‘too little and too late’. However, the present government is expected to follow the foot-steps of its founder leader, late Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto to bring revolutionary constitutional reforms and add the deprived people of Gilgit-Baltistan into the main stream. Otherwise sitting in opposition and submitting bills in the parliament or signing resolution in charter of democracy could be considered as drama with the people of GB. But, now the wisdom and information of the area is not less to come in the traps of the selfish rulers and establishment.
The area has no more attachment or conditionality with the Kashmir cause in both parts of Kashmir there is a constitutional set-up, while Gilgit Baltistan is tied with the KANA division and even a clerical staff is too smart to grab the rights of the innocent people.
Now we need to take right steps to the right directions in the right time and need to make advocacy for the constitutional rights at every forums such as locally, regionally and globally by approaching various human rights institutions and other civil society institutions. I do hope youth and literate responsible masses will disseminate the message of raising voices for the basic rights of the people of Gilgit-Baltistan.
Thanks and regards
Sharif Khan

As someone who is so vocal i would also like to keep you updated on how majority of Pkaistnis are not happy with the part the media played in bias news against Musharraf.
I have had very bitter emails with Hamid Mir i would like to list one so you can decide ho right i am:
From: sajjad riaz (saajj786@hotmail.com)
Sent: 30 August 2008 07:57:08

Everyone supporting MUSHARRAF is a soldier and true LOYAL PAKISTANI.HATTS OFF TO YOU ALL IN FUTURE WE WILL FORM A PARTY AND GET RID OF ALL THE CORRUPT LEADERS LIKE ZARADARI AND NAWAZ AND THROW OUT THE BIASED AND MUFAAAD PURUST JOURNALISTS LIKE HAMID MIR AND SHAHID MASOO.
HYPOCRITES who urged MUSHARRAF to take action agianst LAL MASJID,WAZIRISTAN AND DO NRO than CRITICISED HIM FOR DOING SO.
JOURNALISTS WHO HAVE ENJOYED THE MONEY AND THE BENEFITS OF A FREE MEDIA FROM 2000 ONWARDS DUE TO THE EFFORTS OF MUSHARRAF AND THAN HAVE GONE AGIANST THE SAME PRESIDENT MUSHARRAF.
Where was the media in 2000?
Hamid Mir who says that he will expose MUSHARRAF why did he not EXPOSE the corruption of NAWAZ why did he not EXPPOSE NAWAZ SHARIFS DEMOCRATIC WAYS?
Would Hamid Mir like to tell us which is BETTER?
A MEDIA UNDER MUSHARRAF where from 2000 over 70 new CHANNELS HAVE OPENED,ARE THESE CHANNELS RUN BY ONE MAN,NO,OFCOURSE NOT?
THEY ARE RUN BY THOUSANDS OF STAFF WHICH MEANS THAT AFTER MUSHARRAFS POLICY OF FREE MEDIA AND ISSUEING VARIOUS LICENSES MEDIA HAS EXPANDED IN THE SPACE OF LAST 8 YEARS FROM ONE CHANNEL IN 1999 TO OVER 70 CHANNELS IN 2008 IN WHICH THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE GOT JOBS and another THOUSAND LIKE HAMID MIRE HAVE GOT PAY RISES AND TALK SHOWS LIKE CAPITAL TALK….
Hamid Mir said that ALLAH gave him his job 21 years ago?His right…But 21 years ago their was no GEO,GEO Started after MUSHARRAf,now their are 4 or 5 channels of GEO they could’n't have started their transmission without the go ahead from Musharraf to go on air in Pakistan
Its after GEO that Hamid Mir got a pay rise its after GEO that alot of behind the camera staff got their jobs.
Hmaid Mir claims GEO started from DUBAI.Let me remind him on ONE phone call from MUSHARRAF the DUBAI Authorities shut GEO down and closed the programmes of HAMID MIR and the LOW LIFE SHAHID MASOOD.Which means that originally in 2000 or whenver GEO opened if at that time the governemnt the MUSHARRAF government if it did not have the FREE MEDIA POLICY THEY WOULD NOT HAVE ALLOWED ANY CHANNEL TO OPEN INCLUDING GEO.
SO Hamid Mir and other journalists STOP DREAMING AND FOOLING YOURSELD FREE MEDIA IS BECAUSE OF MUSHARRAF YOU PAY RISE AND THOUSANDS OF BEHIND THE SCREEN JOBS ARE BECASUE OF MUSHARRAF.
Hamid where was the media better in the democratic goverments?
HAMID MIR IN NAWAZ SHARIFS GOVERNMENT WAS CALLED TO NAWAZ SHARIFS HOUSE,WAS TOLD TO RESIGN BY NAWAZ SHARIF BECAUSE HAMID MIR HAD JUST WRITTEN A COLUMN AGAINST HIM,JUST A COLUMN.
The second day when HAMID MIR refused NAWZ SHARIF SHUT THE WHOLE NEWSPAPER DOWN.IS THAT THE DEMOCRACY HAMID MIR WANTS.
WHEREAS UNDER MUSHARRAF LOOK HOW MUCH THEY CRITICISED HIM AND MADE FUM OF HIM IN PROGRAMMES LIKE “HUM SUB UMEED SAY HAIN”
THE HYPOCRACY OF THE JOURNALISTS AND EVERYONE WHO BENEFITED HEAVILY UNDER THE FREE MEDIA POLICY OF MUSHARRAF CLEARLY SHOWS.
Its our duty to expose the journalist and ZARDARI AND NAWAZ as much as we can because poeple like Hamid Mir are sell outs in search of even a bigger pay rise.
AND REMEMBER THE FAILED DOCTOR SHAHID MASOOD WHO EMPTIED THE POCKETS OF ARYONE AND THAN GEO AND CRITICISED MUSHARRAF WHILST HE WAS BENEFITING UNDER MUSHARRAFS FREE MEDIA POLICY.NOW IT WAS THE TIME TO EXPOSE ZARDARI AND NAWAZ BUT INSTEAD HE BETRAYED GEO AND HAS ACCEPTED THE HUDI(DOG BEING OFFERED HIS BONE) FROM ZARDARI AND GONE TO PTV.
HYPOCRACY AT ITS HIGHEST.
WELL DONE TO EVERYONE AND ALL PAKISTANIS LOYAL TO PAKSITAN AND MUSHARRAF SALUTE EVERYONE FOR EXPOSING HAMID MIR PLEASE CARRYON DOING SO AND OTHERS WHO WERE AGINST THE MUSHARRAF ERA,THE TRICKLE DOWN EFFECT OF MUSHARRAFS ECONOMY POLICIES HAVE BENEFITED THE JOURNALISTS THE MOST AND THEY ARE THE ONES WHO COME UNDER THE SAYING “MERA KUTTA MUJHAY HI KATTAY”…WELL SOMETHING LIKE THAT….

Hi,
Not sure if you will read this email or not but hope you do.
I hope all the media and specially you and people at Geo who were so biased against President Musharraf realise that it was a mistake to do so.
President Musharraf is the one who gave you your jobs.Under his government you channel was given the license to operate and since 1999 over 70 channels are operating in Pakistan and all the credit goes to Musharraf not Mr 10% or Mr Nawaz.
The purpose of writing this email is the frustration by a Pakistani and Musharraf supporter that you have not paid back President Musharraf in a good way.Paksitanis have become an AHSAAN FURAMOSH SOCIETY specially the journalists.
How can you invite Corrupt leaders or interview people like Zardari who you know more than me that they are corrupt and under their rule you were not even allowed to critisize them in an editorial in a newspaper let alone the way you joke about Mr Musharraf on tv.
I think yuou as journalists have failed to make the public aware of the leaders which they should’ve supported.All you have done is corrupt the minds of already corrupted and iliiterate people.
Pakistan as a whole will have to bare the cost of your media bias against the best leader Pakistan has had.

I watched Your Interview and Many speeches and now i realize that someone has awaken from our public to speak for us.
Sister, When PPP came in the government
then they are only raising or increasing the prices of commodities & why they are not reducing the price of oil, even the price of oil decreased in international market.
so im saying to u why u arn’t raising these issues in assembly.
August 31, 2008 at 8:55 am
I would just like to say that you are doing a wonderful job, keep it up.
Another issue that I would like you to focus attention on is the complete ignorance by the mainstream media of the millions of Pakistanis who recognize and appreciate what President Musharraf has done for the country. We want to express ourselves, but are not allowed to on the ‘Ruling’ channels. As far as Samaa TV is concerned, I would like to see it being broadcast on SUN TV as well as to have a wider viewership…regards

AoA
“Best For Pakistan’s National Interest” hmm… Since 14th August 1947, this phrase has proved to be the worst available in the dictionary for the “best interest” of a “common Pakistani”. If I shuffle in history, before I could compile something I would commence crying bitterly.
Four military administrators also claimed to be there “Best For Pakistan’s National Interest”, retreat from our foreign policies specially from Kashmir and defence strategy is “Best For Pakistan’s National Interest”, coalitions/segregation of different ideologies is “Best For Pakistan’s National Interest”, warming the battle fields of northern areas is “Best For Pakistan’s National Interest”, selective re-appointment sacked judges is “Best For Pakistan’s National Interest”, bla bla bla I donot have any more courage to write, I only can beg authoritative “Caesars” and “Aristotles” of this golden age of Pakistan, please donot act under the veil of “Best For Pakistan’s National Interest” please. Days are not far away my friends when we would hear
“I, Mr. President, solemnly declare that my breath is “Best For Pakistan’s National Interest” what a pity…
I sometimes wonder, how come something could be/is “Best For Pakistan’s National Interest”, if the outcomes are dauntingly disastrous for the Pakistani nationals? Oh yes… it’s what they call “Farsightedness” which a common man is deprived of, they are right. I simply wish they could have such an intelligentsia who could define the word “Farsightedness” for them.
I used to be a part of “Tug of War” as an “Old Ravian” during the annual sports day of Government College Lahore. What Ms. Memon said (August 29, 2008 at 10:32 am) “I am trying to keep focussed on real issues of common man and what is “best for Pakistan’s national interest”, meaning whatever coalitions happen in the future must be in “Pak’s best interest” so that governance takes place…..The “struggle seems to have just started”…”,
another “Tug of War” for the greater interests of “Pakistan’s National Interest”, let’s see how far away we go from our destination this time as a result of this “Tug of War”, as in the past, such “tug of Wars” rarely helped us to move forward.
Take care and keep praying
ALLAHH AFIZ
P.S: Sorry, I could not keep the pace of the forum, as was mentally shattered due to some family health issues-still going on-make dua for me and my family.
With all my words, I am still optimistic and waiting/(struggling in my capacity) for a brighter sunrise which could take us out through these dark shades of our national life.
Ms. Memon, I fully understand the politicking questions and reckon you should atleast enlighten us about (if you have done something, it’s much appreciated and if you cannot do anything then Mr. Ex-President said “Pakistan Ka KHUDA HAFIZ”)

September 1, 2008 at 8:32 pm
@ Thankx For Marvi give us Platform for Express our Feelings”
Mr zardari never drop the power of 17 amendment.he will be the more power ful president which is not good for pakistan.The person who accept 11 years in preson but he never give back 10% looting money.
when he was no power he get 10% and make million of dollers.Think about when he will be powerful president he must make 90% .I Love Musheruf his last word of his speech “pakistan ka khuda hafiz” was very meaning full and he is also responsibale in this :gunah kabeerah”
If Zardari being the second richest of Pakistan is still not satisfied with his wealth, I doubt he will refrain from his old habits. Pakistanis may try him once again and he will prove it. He will make sure to screw the country and as a last resort army will have to take over.

Goodness me, anybody,but Zardari for president.I know NRO was probably issued by Sir Musharraf to keep the army and ISI going strong and keep these Mullahs at bay…because if these secular political like ppp,mqm get weak then Mullahs will start dominating the political scene here and that will be a nightmare for the army and ISI.But even Musharraf did’nt know at that time that this could allow MR 10% to be our new president casuse Benazir got assasinated..not that she was an angel either.
One of the saddest day in Pakistan’s histroy was when Sir Musharraf a man of so much integrity and vision resigned …6th septemeber,2008 is going to be even worse because one of the most corrupt and indignified Pakistanis is going to become our president.As Sir Musharraf said ‘iss kaum ka ubb allah he hafiz hay’
September 3, 2008 at 4:48 am
Dear Marvi
I am fully agreed with Mr. Sajjad’s comments about Hamid Mir. I know that Hamid Mir and other journalists (Black-mailers) like him are getting funds from Isreal and India to write against honest people of Paistan. They were against Honourable President Musharraf because they want to destroy Pakistan and they have got money to do this job. One day everyone will see the unjaam of these ugly journalists.
Sadia
September 3, 2008 at 5:33 am
Do you know how the president is doing now?
What are his plans?
September 4, 2008 at 5:26 am
I can’t believe the media of Pakistan.They are still out to get Sir Musharraf.Hamid Mir was at it again in his show last night,he was saying’Musharraf is more popular in India than Pakistan because he hurt the kashmir issue’ lol.This is a guy who fought 3 wars for his country and you are questioning his patriotism and honor.
And somebody tell me why Sir Musharraf needs to be prosecuted for the killing of the biggest criminal ever to come out of Balochistan ‘Nawab Akbar Bugti’..does’nt anybody in this country know how horrible a man Akbar Bugti was.These feudal politicians who are showing up on t.v have nothing, but praises for a man whos admited to have murdered more than a 100 people and was a big impediment in the development of Balochistan.These feudals and war lords like Bugti,Mengal do not want to see their people become educated and prosperous thats why they have been challenging the writ of the government.
September 4, 2008 at 4:05 pm
AoA
Quite recently, Mrs. Mirza announced to visit relief camps organised for victims of tribal areas, along with a team of parliamentarians. She also mentioned about raising funds for them by the contribution of members. Has she managed to gather a team and collection from the members? My apologies, if she already have done so.
Secondly what’s going on in the parliament regarding barbarian killing of women and their burial while they were alive. Another resolution, another committee, another face-saving report, another temporary suspension of SHOs and constables and then “Game Over”, please put serious efforts to expose the concealed realities of wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Take care and keep praying
ALLAH HAFIZ
P.S: Titles make a difference but the day, knighthood was awarded to Salman Rushdie, “Sir” seems worthless. I am not biased on the basis of Satanic Verses, fact is that he does not occupy such a distinguished height in literature.
Is it a hysterical statement or a bitter reality??? This is by which different schools of thoughts have their marks…
“This country has never seen honest rulers simply because it was not created by honest people, it has always been a creation of the corrupt, to consolidate power and wealth, and nothing of honesty can penetrate the higher echelons of power in this country.”

OPEN LETTERS TO PRESIDENTS EX, WHY AND Z
We all have dreams. In my dreams I am intelligent, dashing, handsome, filthy rich and powerful. I am also wise and highly intellectual, with such great opinions that heads of state call me – or at least listen to what I have to say on matters of great importance. Then, usually, I wake up to reality.
Obviously I am not the only one who has wild dreams. After all, if it were not for dreams, why would people try to run for the office of president of our nation? In many cases they even do this with scant regard for reality. It is also always important to remember the difference between dreams, big dreams and delusions.
I am writing these lines in Karachi. I am here to be a guest on several GEO TV shows discussing the election for President of Pakistan. When I look at the candidates for president, I see a curious mixture of dreams, big dreams and delusions.
I say it as I see it, without regard for racial, ethnic, national, political or religious affiliation. That is also why I probably never will be offered a cabinet post by any head of state in Pakistan, elected or otherwise, or any other country.
Since none of the three Presidential candidates in Pakistan has contacted me for my advice, I have to assume it is because they believe I must be very busy. So, to be totally fair, I decided to write to each of them through an open letter in this publication. Like variables in an engineering or Math problem, let’s call them candidates Ex, Why, and z.
To President Ex – Justice (retired) Saeed-uz-Zaman Siddiqui
Sir, I have to give you credit for having a dream. Do I do not know you personally I salute you for being one of the few people in Pakistani elections that I have not heard anyone say totally negative things about. Sure, some may question your affiliation with the Nawaz Sharif party based on past events, but even your critics and non-supporters do not try to rip you to shreds. That, itself, is a major achievement.
You are a man of principle, said to have high integrity and the honor to stand up to a dictator. These are qualities that would get you elected and appointed in any other country.
Unfortunately, in Pakistan, these are the very qualities that would likely ensure you can not be elected president of our great nation. Sure, stranger things have happened. But, I thank you for dreaming and making a run for the presidency.
To President Why – Mr. Mushahid Hussain Syed
You, Sir, are obviously a man who has big dreams. I came to know off and respect you when I was a student political leader at the engineering University in Lahore. This was in the 1980s, when you were making a name for yourself as a journalist standing up to a dictator.
When I joined the ranks of the media industry, as business manager of Jang, and a writer in MAG Weekly, etc. I continued to respect you even though you were at a competing newspaper.
It is, therefore, a huge shock for me to learn that during the last 20 years you went from being an independent minded, outspoken, bold, Muslim media professional and a prisoner of conscience to someone who not only supported but became part of a dictator’s team.
It is easy for me to comment on your decisions to change sides in a political fray, but for you to change completely into the opposite of what you stood for is something I will never understand. In any case, I thank you for dreaming big, and making a run for the presidency. It will hopefully enable educated media professionals to be considered candidates for president in the future.
To President Z – Mr. Asif Ali Zardari
Sir, even though I have never personally met you, it has been my observation that it is nothing that you are understated about. We know that the other candidates have dreams and big dreams, possibly with some delusion thrown in for good measure.
In your case it is obvious that you had a dream, you have big dreams and, you may be suffering from a potent mixture of ambition, hubris and delusions of grandeur.
Apply that on top of a foundation built on a pliant political party machine devoted and dedicated more to a particular individual or a family than to their own roll in national politics, democracy or, heaven forbid, history. Result? You can almost be assured of the presidency. Congratulations.
The way I see it, only a miracle can prevent that.
Now, before you think I must be some anti-PPP, anti-Bhutto, anti-Zardari activist, let me assure you that is not the case. I have had the pleasure of meeting the late great Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in Karachi as a young teen, the late Benazir Bhutto, as a young media professional, and always been supportive of their role, as individuals, and as a family, in Pakistan’s democracy.
But, I am not a blind worshiper of the Bhutto name. Both those great individuals also failed to live up to the incredible potential, and historic opportunities, God gave them. They paid, in both cases, with their lives and the country paid either with failed experiments in democracy, martial laws or instability.
When I say that only a miracle can keep you from being President, I say that as a will-wisher of Pakistan and the Bhutto legacy – which I suppose is now more of a Zardari family name legacy. And, herein lies the problem.
Ego, ambition, hubris, cunning, ruthlessness, dreams, visions, delusions of grandeur, and perhaps even a dash of madness are not necessarily bad things – especially if they are attached to a person who dreams to change the world, to build empires for his nation, build historic monuments to man’s dreams and ability, to leave a legacy bigger than he himself ever was. Alexander the Great, even Napoleon, and many other “madmen” come to mind.
These same personality traits in more ordinary people, driven merely by desires to conquer real estate markets and build Swiss bank accounts, and to exploit opportunities for short-term gain, can only ensure disasters of history, and historic disasters.
My fear is that you have all the traits we talk about above but lack the vision to see this is a historic opportunity, not just another personal opportunity to “get more rich” and “take care of your friends”.
The sad thing is that even the staunchest Bhutto supporters, from politically connected families, to their servants and man-on-the-street type voters are all but certain that nothing good will come out of your becoming President, regardless of your beautifully worded article in the Washington Post.
You make a compelling argument for why your Presidency is essential. But, I wonder how you expect anyone, much less a jaded nation of 160 million people to believe a word you say, after your reneging even on your own signed agreements with Nawaz Sharif, and your obvious play at controlling the judiciary.
Almost to a man, the impression in every city I have asked people about you is that you are only doing this for personal financial gain at the expense of the country. They feel what may have been true or false impressions of large commissions associated with you as a nickname, will become even larger grabs of power and wealth.
As a result, the false blessing of your becoming President with a weak hand-picked judiciary, ugly constitutional amendments a gift from former dictators, lapdog lawmakers and apathetic public could become a true-curse.
The actions everyone predicts for you may ensure the total erasure of the Bhutto name and goodwill, and any chance for your son and coming Zardari generations from playing a positive, or any role, in the unwritten future history of Pakistan. The even bigger risk for your family and you would be to become “marked men” instead of leaving a great mark on history.
Therein, Zardari sahib, lies your opportunity. No. I do not refer to your opportunity to acquire larger Swiss bank accounts or longer lists of properties abroad.
You are actually blessed with truly low expectations from everyone.
From judges to generals, from journalists to generalists, from even your own voters, no one expects anything good for Pakistan under your rule.
That actually is a great chance for you personally. You, and only you, can easily, but with some soul-searching, some introspection, some staring at the mirror, some appreciation of where you stand on the crossroads of history, decide to become a truly historic figure – in a nation starved for historic leadership.
Will you, Sir, have the wisdom, decency, moral and political courage and a vision of making a real name for yourself, and your coming generations in history books.?
For your, your children’s and Pakistan’s sake, I hope so.
The nation is standing by to see what path you take. Good luck, President Zardari.

Hi,
In a recent programme HAMID MIR(PIG) was once again pursuing a personal agenda against MUSHARRAF.
Rather than exposing the most corrupt leaders NAWAZ AND ZARADARI perhaps HAMID MIR is increasing his HARAM KI DULAT by taking money from them to stay quite about them.
HAMID MIR said that MUSHARRAF is more popular in INDIA because he damaged Pakistan’s stand on KASHMIR.
Its in MUSHARRAFS government that INDIA has accepted KASHMIR as a DISPUTE,its in MUSHARRAFS govermnet that their was a total CEASEFIRE ON THE LINE OF CONTROL FOR ALMOST 50 YEARS,it was in MUSHARRAFS GOVERNMENT that the KASHMIRIS from both sides who had not met each others relatives for last 50 years eventaully met their LOVED ONES when the BUS SERVICE WAS INITIATED.
HAMID MIR U HYPOCRITE state the facts just because GEO has given you a channel to speak from DONT BULSHIT
HAMID MIR NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT A LESSON THE DAYS NOT FAR WHEN HE WILL BE PARADED ON A DONKEY IN THE STREETS OF ISLAMABAD WITH JHOOTO KA HAAR AND FACE BALCKEDOUT….;
September 6, 2008 at 2:52 pm
Thanks Sadia for appreciating the comments,just can’t believe how worthless and annoying people with limited knowledge become so famous in Pakistan but than again it can only happen in Pakistan…
September 7, 2008 at 12:12 am
JIYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MUSHARRAF
It was funny today came across a tv programe for 6th September.Strange to see KIYANI sitting so comfortably next to Gillani.
In the programme the army spoke about the achievemnets they hace made in Baluchistan and all the army and PPP members were clapping in appreciation.
The strange and annoying thing is that the PPP and the journalists some of them were sitting their and clapping at the armies achievments in Baluchistan which is all due to PERVAIZ MUSHARRAF wheras they criticised him when he was the president.
Typical hypcrites…
BUT EVERY CRITIC OF MUSHARRAF WILL APPLUAD HIS EFFORTS IN YEARS TO COME AND TAKE CREDIT FOR THE ACHIEVMENTS THEY USE TO CRITISIZE HIM FOR…..
JIYEE MUSHARRAF DOWN WITH THE HYPOCRITES
September 7, 2008 at 12:20 am
@ Marvi
Even a sold-out Musharraf was better in power than the present gang of criminals.
Congratulation to Musharraf that Zardari became President because of his NRO. Controversial NRO had looters, murderers, and criminals become “saints” overnight. Injustice braought injustic.
Pakistan’s darkest day in history. ALLAH showed us earthquake as a sign. This is too dangerous for Pakistan ppl now… But ALLAH is GREAT, they (sheyaateen) can’t do anything BUT ALLAH can do the best.
Who calls election of Zardari as democracy – he gave at least three crores rupees to each of the MNA and Senator and MPA and bought their loyalties – after all when would that Swiss 60 million dollars would have been of use.
Zardari’s election was truly the blackest day in the history of democratic Pakistan and he would be far worse than Musharraf in presidency.
Those who elected him have done The greatest disservice to Pakistan for their own selfish ends. This shows we really don’t deserve democracy. Army is also at fault because they stood by watching what has happened – they would have interested behind the scenes but it looks like Pakistan Army also has become …. like those who elected this criminal and liar of the top order.

Salaam,
After seeing your whole web portfolio, i appreciate you on that. but still I think that I must have to confess that, you have two personalities instead on one. Making these sort of port folios, showing emotions for common pakistanis etc..but on ground PML-Q and its leadership is miles away from emotions and standing of Pakistanis. The support you led for the biggest culprit of Nation (Musharraf) will never make you nearer to a a comman pakistnis heart,
i can only advise one thing, be pure not hypocrate.
You seems to be a young blood in politics, but still you know that your father had done many things in past which is against the will of common man.
If you want to do politics of people, try to respect the national emotions….not the emotions of establishment. sorry if i’m a bit rude, but thats true emotions of nation.

Salam Marvi,
saw you on t.v the other day,you are doing a fantastic job,keep up the good work.
I agree with you there Sajjad,i saw that show too where they were basically paying tribute to all the good work of Sir Musharraf in Balochistan without mentioning his name and they showed a grim looking Shahid Masood sitting in the background lol.
Rabia Huq I think you are member of the same pro Musharraf fan clubs on facebook that I am member of.I have been posting there too(aldude).
Just to let everyone know Musharraf has more fan following on facebook than any other leader of Pakistan.and that too after our biggest fanclub page with 15k members got deleted because of some ridiclous rules,i think daily times did report on that.
September 9, 2008 at 1:58 pm
Salam Marvi and everyone
haha the unthinkable has happened mr10% has become president.Good things do happen to bad people in the Islamic republic of Pakistan ,tell that to the whole world.So what does God do to people who make crooks their leaders and their presidents?He keeps them a 3rd world nation?Well I hope Pakistan does well under Mr 10%(no this guy is not my president) so that the dollar can get cheaper for me to buy and I can get the hell out of here.And then one day when I am really old and wrinkly and may be someone like Marvi Memon is taking oath to be president of this country I can decide to come back.Marvi please do mention President Musharraf in your speech after becoming president.Thankyou
September 9, 2008 at 5:29 pm
I have posted the Liberal Progressive Agenda which Pakistan needs to follow for its progress. (List of demands- in category section)Pls add to it since its a working document. It doesnt just belong to us the opposition. I hope it will be as much yours since civil society needs to ask govt for resolution of key challenges. Govt has no excuses left but to deliver. It depends on us whether we can scream loud enough to make it deliver. We owe it to Pakistan to get these issues resolved before bankruptcy hits us. Thankyou for your support.

A step forward in Americas Dream of a divided Pakistan…
Some months back an American report was published in which it predicted that Pakistan would become a failed state in years to come. It reshaped the borders of Pakistan, in which it stated Baluchistan would be a separate state and NWFP to be part of Afghanistan or a separate Taliban state called the “Islamic Republic Of Waziristan”.
On TV and from statements it did seem that Americans favour Musharraf heavily. But in reality especially in the last few years it can be said that Americans were getting wary of Musharraf’s strength and his ability in strengthening Pakistan’s future.
Musharraf’s steps in tackling Baluchistan and working closely with China for the betterment of Baluchistan were some what working against the plans of the Indians and the Americans.
Musharraf’s policy of banning the militant groups and clamping down on Islamic extremists was probably something the Americans and Indians were appreciating but perhaps behind the scenes it was damaging their long term plans as only an increase in Islamic fundamentalism and extremism can guarantee Pakistan in becoming a failed state and the only source of destabilisation.
The issues of tackling Baluchistan issue, banning militant groups were in Pakistan’s favour and in the long term guaranteed Pakistan’s future and its economy. A stable Pakistan and its growing economy would’ve made a nuclear Pakistan even stronger militarily and economically. At that stage it would’ve been quite hard for the enemies of Pakistan to work against it.
So the plan was not to let Pakistan move in the right direction for which you had to get rid of a strong, forward moving and bold leader like Musharraf and to bring in someone who will be the total opposite and take Pakistan back to the old days of the 90’s.
Luckily enough for the enemies of Pakistan the 18th February election were a sigh of relief as the people of Pakistan wrote their own destruction and helped them get rid of the only hope we had in Musharraf of a better, prosperous and bright and united Pakistan.
So we have the perfect scenario the most corrupt politician in Pakistan’s history as the President, a Prime Minister who can hardly look straight at the camera let alone write his own speech, a finance minister whose totally clueless and finds the national assembly a place where he can catch up on his sleep, information minister who is looking for another husband and a foreign minister who has no foreign knowledge.
A perfect team lead by Zardari which can go to any length in implementing the American, the Indian, the Karzai and the Israeli agenda, together with a sold out media.
Zardari and Co will work on American-Indian-Israeli agenda by:
• Trying to undermine ISI as mush as they can
• They will bring closer the anti-Pakistan Karzai
• Baluchistan will be given back to the Baluchistan Liberation Army so India can carry on supplying them with arms and so Pakistan doesn’t utilise the resources of the province
• Kashmir will be totally forgotten and even the Kashmir on Pakistan side can be given back to India
• Waziristan and NWFP will be given to the Mullahs who will be allowed to implement their own agenda and therefore implement sharia and establish their own state in the long run
• Sindh will be strengthened more and established as a no go area for Punjabis
• Punjab will eventually be tried to change into another Sindh
• Economy will continue to plunder and so the Americans will influence World Bank, IMF to strengthen their grip on us which was weakened during Musharraf era.
The perfect destruction team of Pakistan employed by the Americans has started work from 09/09/2008 lets see where it ends.
The insurgents in Baluchistan have stepped up, so have the Taliban in Waziristan. America has also started its campaign in the tribal areas of regular bombings and even sending in ground troops which was never possible under Musharraf.
The outflow of capital continues, the stock market continues to plunge, inflation keeps on rising, rupee keeps on devaluing, frustration continues to grow, loyalties continue to change, self interest continues to be a priority, liars continue to host talk shows.
WELCOME TO DEMOCRACY 09/09/08 STYLE.

Just saw your program on Newsone. Our family and I were really impressed with your “Shola bayani”:).
Anyways , since you are in parliment. please please ask the government that why and gain why… since the textile industry is the largest industry of pakistan and govt. offer no scholarship to the students to study abroad.. I was admitted to NC state uni last year but could not go due to lack of funds…. please ask them why dont they want to support us
p.s. i did my BSC in Textile science from Textile Institute of Pakistan last year
September 10, 2008 at 7:15 pm
Respected Madame.
With ref your program with Mubashir Lucman on 10 sep 2008 on TV 1 i would like to comment tha t both of u are not real, in my opinion mr lucman usrd the ladder of salman taseer and u of mr Memon other wise, how can u be a member parliment? and wat crieteria and wat quality u have? on wat grounds u r a member? do u or mr Memon have any consituency?so u and mr lucman talking about accountibilty is nonsensense as i think there are 100000 woman there more capable than u to be a member pariliment and more persons there to be an anchor like mr mubashar.
September 10, 2008 at 7:23 pm
Hi
The website by parlimentarian is an excellent idea. Just saw your program in Lucman Show and most of your comments were balanced and impressive quite unlike other politicians. Please keep up the passion and the spirit.
September 10, 2008 at 7:29 pm
It is nice to see some serious effort made by some politician for the awareness of common people. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE FAIR AND SQUARE IF YOU HAVE PUT SOME THING ABOUT UR PML Q GOVERNMENT STUFF HERE FOR ACCOUTIBILTY.
I just want to know that can Law do something about rigging in polls as it had shown and people have seen on electronic media in many parts of Pakistan. Secondly it my opinion that there should be a law according to which all parliamentarian should not contest MNA & MPA elections more then twice. They can be a Senetor as much as they like. Like that we can have different mind of people in politics. Might be like this Pakistan and the people can move ahead with less problems. People are loosing their interest in politic and the people sitting in it from long times and doing nothing. Other thing is
September 10, 2008 at 7:31 pm
Ms. Marvi Memon, you seem to be relatively more informed about environmental factors – for instance your awareness of the longer-term issues (that politicians usually don’t worry about since they are more occupied with their own survival election-to-election).
For example your promotion of awareness about glaciers and possible impact of global warming.
I would like to draw your attention to another matter – the presence of Depleted Uranium in Pakistan.
This is a problem I had brought to the attention of some of the people who are now considered big shots of the news channels – Dr. Shahid Masood, Kamran Khan and others.
However I have NEVER heard anyone mention Depleted Uranium in ANY of their programs.
Although they have often lamented the loss of life that is happening now.
Depleted Uranium is a real risk and a possible environmental disaster. And this is because the U.S. drops thousands of tons of this material (it is used as cheap replacement for Titanium in many of it’s armaments – bullets in the A-10 gatling gun, missiles and bunker busters).
The danger is that it is nearly as radioactive as Uranium and contains all the isotopes usually found in Uranium. In addition it burns on impact and forms a POWDER which is dissipated in the wind and can drift downwind.
This is a MAJOR environmental disaster waiting to happen.
I realize this is not an issue that you alone can pursue, and it is already a bit late – since to actively prevent it, the muslim media should have been ACTIVELY promoting the dangers in this from some YEARS ago, so that the U.S. would have been shamed into NOT using it.
It has polluted areas of Iraq – like Basra. And everyday that the battles continue in the rest of Iraq and in which the U.S. used armament that is built with DU.
Please read up on DU on google, using terms like:
“Depleted Uranium”
“Depleted Uranium in Iraq”
“Depleted Uranium” Basra
This is an issue that I brought to the attention of media “luminaries” (more like demagogues) like Dr. Shahid Masood, Kamran Khan and others.
If they had been true readers they MUST have heard about DU – at least from the journalists they met in Iraq – Dr. Shahid Masood visited Iraq.
Yet they have confined themselves to challenging Pakistanis and the governments in Pakistan and have never created a robust portfolio of arguments to actually take their arguments to the West.
But did you ever hear them mentioning this real risk – not only to the current generation, but for generations to come ? We talk about our home country and the possibility that we have “at least our homeland”. However if these people are allowed to pollute this land as well, then what place will be safe.
Also these people do not realize the major breakdown of the Pakistan brand. If it becomes known (and it WILL become known later) that there has been extensive DU exposure in Pakistan. Then NO ONE will want our agricultural produce (esp. when they can get it from elsewhere). And only the poor and desperate will live here.
The reality is that we lack the presence of THINKING people in our legislature. People who can think forward 10 years, 20 years to see what our real problems are.

Last night I had chance to see you on TV show, after that I have few questions in my mind to share with you.
Muslim Leauge lost their election on 12 Feb 08 due to lack of party main leadership. Do you think is there really reason for loss or party was over confident in terms of elections, as ML has other very telented peopele why should change paerty leadership to telented guys like you or some other?

you know for the formation of pakistan one generation gave blood so we get pakistan same time is now there should be one generation to save pakistan which i think is no where so as a leader you people have to start that struggle other wise we will never make pakistan once more
because quaid-e-azam is not with us any more so kindly if you get time tell me system will remain the same every one comes to fill his or her banks thats it? you dont feel pain for pakistan think about that poor father who kill his own children why because of this situation
so the leaders gets all the blame why not you change the system aleast try silent public will be with you as visible one trust me we need visible change.if some one can do it you will see all the public with that person but that person should not be a cheater once more.
when pakistan is formed one dollar is equal to one rupee so think now where we stand today
mam i feel pain for my country hope few people like you also feel
waiting for your feedback on one simple question which is what will happen with pakistan atleast tell us so we get ready for that we cannot afford one more surprize??

well marvi I like your style of talking. you are a well learned person and above all you have alffiliations with my respected president musharraf…the only one who deserved to be the president of my beloved country Pakistan.i’m suffering from acute depression since the day these plunderers, looters,dacoits and twicely tested thieves have taken charge of Punjab and Federal Governments. when would people be able to unterstand their shallow words and corrupt characters.now karzai alongwith other CIA agents will decide the fate of my country.i’m writing thesis about the deceptive use of language by political leaders and that had given me enough political insight to inerpret what’s going on around.may allah save my country from these voltures and people like you should never get tired to expose the hideen agendas of these so-called leaders.plz let me know how my president musharraf is doing these days? he has been and always will be my President as long as i live.
all the best

hi Ms Marvi,
its indeed a good idea to let people also express their point of view to one of their representatives. your family and educational background is impressive and its nice to have an educated person sitting in the assembly. I sincerley hope that you dont end up throwing bangles and “chadar” over the speaker of the house someday. However; a good family and educational background does not ensure a clean political life in this country.despite all your impressive credentials its eally a shame that you stand with a party that was nurtured by a dictator and crumbled once he disgracefully departed. i have no love lost for the incumbent regime,but still how can you so blindly support a butcher who killed hundreds of innocent children in lal masjid. all they were asking was to shutdown brothels and obsenity. how can you justify the ill intent of your premier who almost threw the steel mills away for a dime. maam for your “enlightment” mr musharaff was immensley disliked even in the armed forces. how can i say that? because i am one of them. he is the one who allowed the americans to disregard our territorial interity..i hate his guts…
September 13, 2008 at 7:46 am
search youtube for “musharraf resignation speech” (without quotes) for COMPLETE speech with ENGLISH SUBTITLES. Or just use the youtube website address above or go directly to:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJzLX6GU-50
There are versions for mobile phones (3gp video 38MB and mp3 audio 3.6MB) there as well (see links in description section of video webpage).
Pass the speech video/audio around on your cellphones to your friends and family. It still sounds current in the current situation (U.S. acting up after Musharraf leaves the scene).
There is a core group of 15% of Pakistani population who have their heads on straight (if the post-resignation Gallup poll is to be believed). These are people who DESPITE the media propaganda (some say “perfect storm” effort – whether foreign or local inspired) still had the presence of mind to separate the wheat from the chaff, the fact from the fiction – constructed arguments which highlighted the negative but did not recognize the far greater positives.
Then there is a 20% group of people who were positive/negative about his resignation. These are the “we are now having regrets” crowd probably. This 20% of people can probably be turned – however they are the type of people who cannot be relied upon for good judgement i.e. they will bolt at any crisis and are people who cannot reconcile contradictory signals or stuff thrown at them by the media. And these are people who cannot understand the value of choosing the best option under the circumstances from among possibly bad/badder options.
The 63% people who were against Musharraf probably include people who do so for dogmatic reasons (belong to one party or other and not think for themselves), or for ethnic reasons (not all Punjabis – since a thinking Punjabi segment is deeply in support of Musharraf – but a certain section considers it an affront to have a “weak” Muhajir, as opposed to a “strong” – meaning idiotic – person who they can “respect”, or for people living around Islamabad, someone who belongs to a “family” who they can reach through side channels and finding him unreachable through most traditional channels are flummoxed and so find the whole situation thoroughly disconcerting), and then there are the .. idiots. And many of them are probably people who were not ready for the onslaught the media wrecked on their heads. Many of these WILL learn a less from this – and will start to mistrust the “media” much more. But these are costly lessons – which SHOULD have been taken 20 years ago. That it started only with Musharraf is late but still a good change.
Because in a country with high illiteracy, the visual medium is MUCH more of a reformer than the print media (which would always remain unreachable for illiterates). This is analogous to (if you think of computing) to the proliferation of mobile phones. And computers. Because of the audio nature of the phone it is usable by all and it achieves mass market – and BECAUSE of it, some of the same illiterates WILL get exposure to computers and WILL eventually get used to using what are essentially computers (i.e. cell phones or the next generation – as smartphone features make it into cheaper mobile phones as well).
It is for this reason that the visual media is ESPECIALLY important for Pakistan. With that advantage however also lies the danger of manipulation – because it is the same population (one complete generation has not grown up with this visual media yet even) but the means of manipulation now have reach through this visual media as well.
That is, there is the danger of foreign influence (i.e. if it is reformist that can be useful, but if it seeks to do some strategic impacting or to foment unrest then that is dangerous).
So for example you see the example of the U.S. possibly OVERpaying for the VOA programs being broadcast on Geo and AAJ TV channels. This situation is analogous to the OVERpaying that the U.S. did to the Jamaat-i-Islami printing presses in Karachi in the 1960s. The USIS used the JI’s printing presses and according to some sources burnt the material in it’s compounds. If true, this would be a “legal” way to provide funds to the JI.
A similar situation can happen if Geo TV UNDERpays to the tune of millions of dollars for some programming that they would otherwise have to pay more for – to some Indian channel for instance.
In the U.S./VOA case it can be argued that usually when Geo shows some external program they would PAY for it. Why is it that Geo is ASKING for payment for showing VOA programs. This raises the question this means that Geo probably realizes the programs contribute little informationally or in terms of content to their audience. BUT it is somethign that will create value for the promoter (i.e. U.S.). In THAT they basically are acting as agents of a foreign power.
Secondly while it could reasonably be argued that the U.S. is doing it to “reach the Pakistani people to build bridges”, there could be a secondary benefit for the U.S. strategic objectives – they CAN wind up intentionally OVERpaying to cover for what would essentially be a type of influence peddling – which may or may not be overt. But it could be CRUCIAL if it is used at certain times to exercise pressure on Geo management.
A third question also arises – that Geo presents the VOA programs as visually identical – and to many illiterates it will seem indistinguishable from normal Geo programming (for instance now they have even dropped the faint VOA logo that used to appear previously and was probably missed by many people even then).
The question that arises is – WHY would Geo want such brand dilution ? They are a running a very valuable news program channel – would any news organization volunteer the dilution of it’s brand, it’s look to show ANOTHER entity’s “identical looking” news programs in the middle of it’s news programming ?
These are all questions that should be asked by and OF the media. And they are answerable for them. The ONLY reason they are NOT getting more pressure from their viewership about these issues is that the viewership is majority illiterate (and Geo KNOWS that – it is no longer even the print business as practiced by Jang from the newspaper era). Right now Geo has TREMENDOUS leverage – to go for the jugular of the illiterate mind. They are buying time because they press those buttons. Those people ARE it’s audience and they are the ones who buy the soap and the cooking oil. As long as they are guaranteed that viewership Geo is under NO pressure whatsoever to answering questions posed to them by “concerned Pakistanis”.
In essence the “media” in Pakistan has become like the “democracy” in Pakistan – both address the most common denominator in Pakistan (actually niche channels like Dawn News and some of the business channels maybe slightly different in that).
And so it is not a surprise that the mass market media channels WILL become similar in argument and stridency as the politicians/political landscape in Pakistan – which has primarily been coloured not by the wise Islamic scholar or the thinking not-as-religious Pakistani, but will be coloured similarly by the tribal, ethnic (and in many ways pre-Islamic) culture of the villages of Pakistan.
However the media WILL remain monolithic AS LONG AS there is consolidation of power – where newspaper and satellite news are both owned by the same entity. This will lead to the creation of a few strong entities. However this is not all bad either – since this will allow the creation of media entities that are strong enough to counter bad government (and have the leverage of the print media’s local contacts). The disadvantage is that it PREVENTS the emergence of a new media which is free from the shackles of the old print media. Note that the old print media was a totally different entity – reliant on literacy in it’s customers for it’s survival (something which is short of in Pakistan). Thus newspapers – for all their competence – never achieved the mass market level and as a result never paid their employees as much and as a result did not get the best talent either. This COOPTING of the print media by the new visual media channels (by allowing satellite channels to be owners of print media groups) has allowed the induction of scores of print media people into this new media – and they have taken hold, occupying positions of power WAY beyond their capability AND THINKING. But this was probably also because of the rapid expansion of media during Musharraf’s era. If the expansion had been slow it may have produced a different type of media employee (though it could also have created a class of elitist “media people” who were unaware of the beat on the ground – as happens in the U.S. occasionally). But the fast expansion also has left a lot of print people in prime positions of power in the satellite news industry and they will continue to hamper it’s progress onto the second level (perhaps) as newer better trained people join th media groups.
Combineed ownership of print AND satellite media also is bad because it PREVENTS the creation of a strong anti-satellite stance in the print media – since satellite dominate (being a visual medium in an illiterate country), their PRINT arms would tend to dominate the other print newspapers which are NOT satellite owned. This will lead to the rapid domination of print media by satellite companies promoting the SAME satellite programming (as happens with Geo/Jang Urdu newspapers). Thus REDUCING diversity of opinion and commentary.
The coopting of print media also leads to the problem of fewer players – with the result that even if ONE of them is taken over by an outside group it would STILL look like it is Pakistani – but their strategic policies regarding what issues to cover and highlight could be subtly coloured by their masters or “business partners”.
In addition it could easily be acquired by an outside firm for a few hundred million dollars (not that much for foreign companies) – thus allowing them an instant and easy foothold into a country where the non-illiterates think they are running the country but where the illiterates are “owned” (that is, that is all they read, follow or are exposed to from the “news” side of things) by the visual media companies.
An example is the type of response one hears on these news media channels from the “man on the street” – while many will (correctly) point out the primary issues of inflation and high cost of food, there will be some who will dole out a litany of points about what has to be done:
- reinstatement of Chaudhry Iftikhar (deposed Chief Justice) and “Aazaad Adlia” (what the news channels SAY is what it would be if he was restored – which is a big IF i.e. is it not exactly the same thing – but presented enough times by media and it sounds like “the same thing” to the “man on the street” and there is NO OTHER media outlet which can disabuse i.e. reinform them of an alternate fact !)
- Musharraf impeachment
etc. etc.
Some of them are just parroting the “list” that has been bombarded by these media channels.
There should also be a classification of Pakistani media and Foreign media – channels that are primarily based in Dubai should be classified as Foreign media. But here too there is a benefit/disadvantage challenge.
A channel based outside Pakistan prevents it from falling into the most excessive of crackdowns that a government could do, but it also prevents the channel from diverging away from Pakistani issues and falling for other interests – for example like Geo with Indian commercial interests – which later prevent them from taking a challenging stance against India.
This one is a tricky decision as well – since there are advantages/disadvantages to both.
Which is probably why Musharraf did not do much to foster this distinction – in his view a “foreign” Pakistani media is actually a good change – as it allow Pakistan to push it’s ideals out to the world. It is a much more positive and pro-active way of addressing the situation, and the other alternative to “control” is rife with problems as then there are no limits to how much you will wind up crushing the media and then you might as well NOT have a media then.
Musharraf was singularly responsible for the creation of the media in this state that it is – essentially free. Although the exceptional events of attacks against Geo offices during emergency have been taken to great extremes by people like Hamid Mir (notice how Kamran Khan is not as aggressive against Musharraf) primarily for other-than-just-that attitudes among some journalists.
Regarding the attitudes of journalists – it is a well known fact that there is a preponderance of PPP-aligned people in the print media and “lawyers” because people with non-standard educational (or perhaps interrupted education) could find a niche because of their essentially independent nature of work.
So it is no surprise that when the PPP wanted to put pressure on Musharraf to get better terms in NRO they used the “lawyer’s movement” and NGOs (all too often funded by outside sources). With the NRO done, the lawyer’s movement naturally lost it’s PPP aspect and essentially became a group of 20 people (no wonder Aitzaz Ahsan has to say the demonstrations are small because they are of a more distributed nature i.e. “all over the country” now).

“ALL PROBLEMS EXIST BECAUSE OF MUSHARRAF, NO MUSHARRAF NO PROBLEM”…..IS THAT RIGHT??????????
Not long ago in Pakistan the critic’s vast majority of them ranging from the opposition of Qazi Hussain Ahmed, PML-N and PPP to the journalists like Hamid Mir, Shahid Masood had one statement to issue and that was continuously on repeat mode. As they said:
“ALL PROBLEMS EXIST BECAUSE OF MUSHARRAF, NO MUSHARRAF AND THEIR WILL BE PEACE AND STABILITY, NO SUICIDE ATTACKS, NO AMERICAN AIR RAIDS AND THE ECONOMY WILL BOOM, MORE INVESTORS WILL COME TO PAKISTAN”
Musharraf and the well wishers of Pakistan who do utilise their brains knew that they are only political slogans and very far away from reality, as the personalities with the above statements have no charisma, no leadership qualities they are the Puray Likhay UNPURH, individuals who have self-interest above national interest and can cause all sorts of mayhem on the way to seeing themselves in power.
From 1999 Musharraf not only stabilised the economy but also in later years strengthened it so from being defaulted Pakistan stood as the emerging markets in the world.
How can someone with even a lesser intelligence level argue that Foreign Reserves in 1999 of $700m are better than $17bn in 2008? How can the critics argue that the economy size of $75bn in 1999 was better than $170bn in 2008? Either the critics l have no basic numerical knowledge at all or they are LIARS because basic maths is enough to see that $700m is less than $17bn and $75bn is less than $170bn.So how on earth can the economy be worse than 1999? Every sector and the overall size of the economy has doubled and in some cases tripled over the past 8 years.
By no means Pakistan has gone richer but at least agree that the economy has gone much stronger but obviously still needs a lot of work to keep it going.
The last 6 months has proved once gain that it was the leadership of Musharraf and the economic policies of Shaukat Aziz which made our economy a stable and progressive economy, where investors had full confidence in Musharraf and Shaukat Aziz therefore weren’t hesitant to invest.
But as soon as Shaukat Aziz left and Musharraf appeared less in command of the country the economic situation is their to be seen.
Now there is absolutely no investor confidence in the capabilities of the present government they have no direction and understanding of the challenges. Therefore the investors have withdrawn their capital, Rupee which should’ve gained slightly against a weakening dollar a few months back but instead it proves of our incompetent government that the rupee depreciated further.
Post 9/11 Scenario
President Musharraf made the right decision in supporting the world against the war in terror. It is our war not America’s probably America has woken us up because we were sleep for 50 years as we left our western borders specially NWFP and Northern Areas unguarded for 50 years. It now proves that was not a wise decision as people have freely crossed the borders over the years and it has not benefited Pakistan other than destroying our society with Kalashnikov Culture and heroin. Perhaps we should’ve guarded our western borders straight after 9/11 as it was obvious that Al-Qaeda and Taliban will cross over and start their campaign from Pakistan.
Musharraf had a good understanding of the dangers we faced with America and India sitting in Afghanistan.Musharraf was successful in containing American attacks in Pakistan as only aerial attacks were allowed only on pacific targets. Under Musharraf no Afghan troop entered Pakistani territory, no American troop landed on Pakistan soil to carryout a raid.
The dangers we are facing now are because of the weakness of the present government as the Americans do not consider our leadership as worthy of posing any challenge to them. The Americans are openly stating their policy about attacking Pakistan, American troops are landing in Waziristan to carryout raids, there has been 10 aerial attacks in a week (whereas under Musharraf their hardly use to be 10 attacks in a year).
Is this the democracy we were asking and crying for over the last 8 years? Democracy where there:
• Is no credible person leading and making the new policies, where:
• America is openly targeting innocent civilians by aerial and ground raids, where:
• Economy is plunging deeper and deeper, where;
• The rupee has no value left, where;
• China is being sidelined, where;
• Mr 10% is on private visits to London and Dubai, where;
• Load shedding, inflation, crime, unemployment is worsening, where;
• Stock exchange continues to take a dive from 17000 points to 9000 points, where;
• Investors are withdrawing their capital, where;
• Suicide bombers are still at large and strike at will(as they said their will be no suicide bombings when Musharraf goes)
When Musharraf was in power everything was going in the right direction with a bit of difficulty and their was strong leadership and a strong team to deal with the problems, but now it’s all shambles, incompetent individuals who have been given the responsibility of running Pakistan, A Pakistan which needed confident, bold and charismatic leaders like MUSHARRAF.
So, it seems after all that the critics have been proven wrong once again as a Pakistan without Musharraf will not be stable and prosper but instead will continue from 1999 again and be a failed state, a corrupt state, a state with incompetent individuals sitting in the government, a state where the enemies have once again started to threaten its sovereignty.

hi,
i am begining to think that this forum is just a gathering of people who think that two wrongs can make one right. yes zardari is corrupt but how could this acquit mr musharraf and his cronies from their crimes. he succumbed to the biggest con job of the history of the mankind(a.k.a war on terror) and commited the entire nation without asking anyone without any debate and against the wishes of a roaring majority. Turkey also rebuked such threats from US and still they are surviving pretty good. what have we achieved? truth is that this man musharraf took these decisions because he knew that he would never have to go to the public for vote. all he would have to do was to accomodate the winner with free treats like N.R.O. please for crying out loud if you worried for pakistan because you dont trust zardari then dont forget that it is your beloved musharraf who served his purpose and let this criminal to return with all pomp and show and become the president eventually. cant you see this man had no right intentions.Saying “pak ka Allah hi hafiz” just because he thinks he is the only hope we had..take a walk sir. you have harmed this country more than anyone else. honestly speaking now when i go out with my unifrom on i feel “unsafe” just because of you…May Allah expose your crimes..

Well Marvi, I am a journalist in APP English Service. The first time I saw u in a PML meeting in 2007 and under estimated u as a stereotype female just for showcasing in the political meeting. However, when I gradually started listening u it really stunned me especially during recent sessions of Parliament in PPP government u have been raising very important issues in befitting manner as I use to observe u from press gallery.
I also heard good words for u when I was on a coverage tour of Gilgit and other Northern Areas with then Information and Boracasting Minister Senator Nisar Memon in March this year. Two things I like u r ur name and ur loyalty to men of ur land which I came to know from MEHRAN TV Interview. I look forward to take a cup of tea with u…hmmmmmm?

You’re the MNA of this nation; I demand you to give us electricity in Karachi. WOuld you even care to publish my email, let alone reply. Expecting you to do something in this regard is foolishness. You guys wont do anything. All you care about is your personal accounts getting exponentially increased and that’s it! You are all losers!

MR SHEHARYAR
May be you need to take a walk and think about your knowledge and understanding of the issues Pakistan faced and faces…
Musharraf said Pakistan ka Allah HafiZ Because of people like you who are wrong, but so proudly go around giving comments as if they are the brainiest of all.
What crimes are you talking about regardding
Musharraf?
One thing is encouraging to see that even the biggest critcics like you can only talk about LAL MASJID AND WAZIRISTAN.Which atleast proves that in 9 years of power only two negative issues LAL MASJID AND WAZIRISTAN stand out which means Musharraf was doing a pretty good job..
Lal Masjid was a issue which could not be tolerated but Musharraf did tolerate them for quite a long time infact i would say Musharraf was slow in reacting, in any civilised society Lal Masjid would not have even existed in the capital let alone the extremists going around kidnapping police offices and other foriegn nationals.Musharraf gave the lal masjid time to surrender they chose their own faith,the children if they did die?as most of them had already left the mosque, than the blame should go on Maulana aziz and his wife who kept them hostage inside with them.If you were trapped in the mosque you would force all the kids to leave immediately but if some did stay behind than Maulana Aziz forced them to stay for which he suffered heavily.
The people of lal masjid except the kids were not innocent,how can you be innocent and carry and bring guns inside a mosque,how can you radicalise kids their, how can you start implementing your agenda everywhere, how can you kill and kidnapp police officers and get away with it.
You want Pakistan to stay a banana republic where no law exists and anyone can get up and start implementing their agenda.
You talk about shutting brothels,theirs brothels all over Pakistan and have been before Muharraf came in power.Closing down brothels in one town is not going to make a difference plus the police need to do that not extremists who have been brain washed and want to take over the CAPITAL OF PAKISTAN BECAUSE THEY ARE LOYAL TO THE TALIBAN AND AL-QAEDA…..
The enlightened Musharraf was liked everywhere and specially the armed forces.AT THE PRESENT MOMENT HE IS IN THE ARMY HOUSE WHICH IS PROVE HOW MUCH THE ARMY LIKE HIM,THEY ARE THE ONES WHO GAVE HIM GUARD OF HONOUR AND THEY ARE THE ONES STILL FIGHTING IN WAZIRISTAN,IF MUSHARRAF WAS HATED IN ARMED FORCES THAN WHY IS HE STILL STAYING IN THE ARMY HOUSE AND WHY IS HIS POLICY OF WAZIRISTAN STILL BEING IMPLEMENTED.
SHEHARYAR get your facts right and open your eyes and see whats happeing in Paksiatn now?
Under Musharraf America didnt strike Pakistan 10 times a month and America didn’t send their forces on Pakistani soil, this has happened in the civilian dictatorship governements in power right now…
Next time state the facts not your personal thoughts on MUSHARRAF…………
JIYE MUSHARRAF
THE BEST LEADER PAKISTAN HAS EVER HAD…………

Lawlessness:
A couple of days back I got my Suzuki Khyber car rammed by a Toyota Corolla which was of a District Nazim Khairpur. The driver who banged the car into mine was apologetic yet at the same time unwilling to offer an amount for his mistake since my car was literally broken from the side. His car received a minor dent which I understood was a mistake of his right from the beginning. All this happened at the posh location of Park Towers in broad daylight. I spoke very softly to the driver and told him to call his master so that we could discuss matters. He did so immediately. When the District Nazim arrived in a government car (with green number plate), he showed his rude nature and aggressiveness was pretty apparent to one and all. Since I am the humble sort, I introduced myself and told him that his driver accepted his mistake and that he should offer me some amount so that I could get my car fixed. This put him in rash and he hurled abuses left, right and center. I told him I was his younger and I respected him (though there was no reason to respect such an abusive person) but he just didn’t give up. He even tried to push me away which was a shocker for me. Since I am from an educated lot, I knew that I had to back off and so I did. He sat with his two kids in his government car and took his personal car away with the same driver. In short, he knew I was humane to him so he used this to his own advantage. Is there any system within this land? Is there any law that one could look up to? Where are we really heading? The District Nazim Khairpur must know that he is accountable for his actions and words. I trust my God and I hope He will teach him a lesson which will make him mend his ways. It is just that I respected my own character and I didn’t find it feasible to stoop down to his levels that I kept quiet. May God have mercy on our country. May our leaders understand that the fire of hell is very very hot.
September 23, 2009 at 3:02 am
DEAR I DO RESPECT YOU BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE TALK TO DISTRICT NAZIM KAIRPUR WITH MORE POWER AND CONFIDENCE .YOU MUST HAVE FILE COMPLAIN AND SEND COPIES TO THE ALL TOP PEOPLES AND TO THE NEWSPAPER .ALL WAYS TAKE PHOTOS WITH PHONE CAMERA.YOU NEVER GAVE HIS NAME AND PARTY NAME .FROM JAMAL MY E MAIL IS JAMAL.SYED666@GMAIL.COM .

We love you Musharraf!
He has been an honest man with good intentions who tried to serve his country to the best of his abilities. In a country that has suffered so much over the years from corrupt and self-serving politicians like Nawaz and Zardari.
In deciding to resign as president of Pakistan, Pervez Musharraf has done the honorable thing. He has chosen the path of self-sacrifice and fallen on his sword rather than prolong the country’s crisis over his position as head of state. In doing so and putting Pakistan first, he has enabled it to move on. For that, all Pakistanis should be grateful.
General Musharraf in his historic speech to the nation, also enumerating the successes of his 8 years rule, announced to resign as President of Pakistan. General Musharraf was his confident self and his message optimistic. He bowed out with dignity and courage, to avoid confrontation, and in the best interest of the nation and the country. In his words, it was not the time for individual bravado. He received a guard of honor before he parted the Presidency
Today, our eyes and hearts cry! The man we so loved, honored, admired and cherished for his determination to deliver for Pakistan – and deliver he remarkably did! He was a man who believed & practiced in ‘Pakistan First’. The only honest and visionary leader we ever had. Pakistan progressed and prospered under his leadership. Pakistan had hope under his selfless & patriotic policies.
We love you Musharraf!
In President Musharraf’s era:
President Musharraf led a great team of economists and professionals with ex-PM Shaukat Aziz, to mark their achievements. Their achievements caused Pakistan to emerge as a geo-strategic important country with a 100% better economy! His effectiveness shall be measured by the results produced by the led! In 2006, Pakistan was the 3rd fastest growing economy of the world and world’s preferred destination for Investment!
In President Musharraf’s era:
Pakistan’s economy grew by 100% — to become $ 160 billion
Revenue grew by 100% — to become $ 11.4 billion
Per Capita Income grew by 100% — to become $ 925
Foreign Reserves grew by 500% — to become $ 17 billion
Exports grew by 100% — to become $ 18.5 billion
Textile exports grew by 100% — to become $ 11.2 billion
Karachi Stock Exchange grew by 500% — to become $ 75 billion
Foreign Direct Investment grew by 500% — to become $ 8 billion
Annual Debt servicing decreased by 35% — to become 26%
Poverty decreased by 10% — to become 24%
literacy rate grew by 10% — to become 54%
Public development Funds grew by 100% — to become Rs 520 billion
President Musharraf’s Vision and Policies
President Musharraf’s Vision and Policies helped Pakistan come out of the list of Highly Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) while setting it on path of prosperity, growth and economic reforms. While the world institutions like the World Bank (source) & (source), IMF (source) and ADB (source) have been praising Pakistan for its reforms, fiscal policies and macro-economic policies – the biased & wicked TV channels GEO, ARY & AAJ – have been projecting a negative, bleak and a hopeless picture on purpose to serve their isolated vested interest. These SOLD-OUT channels are creating despondency to drive away the foreign investment and depress over-seas Pakistanis. The contribution by these over-seas Pakistanis is instrumental in heaping and accumulating Foreign Reserves to stabilize Pakistan’s economy. Recent rumor-mongering (source) by these channels, that President Musharraf has been confined by the Army Chief and will resign soon, crashed our Stock markets (source) by 500 points TWICE! GEO, ARY and AAJ are benchmarks of ingratitude – for the leader who actually gave the freedom to come on air and express their views, and towards their own country!
For those that consider President Musharraf ..
For those that consider President Musharraf as an
For those that consider President Musharraf as an unconstitutional President:
1- PML-Q government passed a constitutional amendment in National Assembly, with 2/3 majority, also approved by Senate that allowed President Musharraf to hold dual offices.
2- Constitution of Pakistan – Article 63 clause (1) paragraph (d), read with proviso to Article 41 clause (7) paragraph (b), allows the President to hold dual office.
3- Supreme Court of Pakistan allowed President to stand for elections in November 2007.
4- President Musharraf was elected President of Pakistan, by a combined electoral of the Senate, National Assembly and the 4 Provincial Assembles
5- President Musharraf won by 58% votes in November 2007, as the constitutional President of Pakistan!
Therefore, he may still be considered an unconstitutional President (unrealistic) by those that have no regard for the Constitution of Pakistan, the 2/3 majority of National Assembly that elected him as the President and the Supreme Court decision (under PCO ex-CJP Iftikhar Chaudhry) that allowed him to take part in the Presidential elections
For us – President Musharraf is our HERO
For us – President Musharraf is our HERO – Our Leader!
There are three kinds of people: Those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who ask, ‘What happened?’” –Casey Stengel
President Musharraf made things happen for Pakistan!!!
The spirit who has seen the spectre of death cannot be scared by the faces of thieves; the soldier who has seen the swords glittering over his head and streams of blood under his feet, does not care about the rocks thrown at him by the children on streets — Khalil Jibran
September 23, 2009 at 3:53 am
DEAR SIR CAN ANY BODY KNOW PERVAZ MUSHRAF E MAIL OR WEB SITE .I HAVE GREAT RESPECT FOR MUSSHRAF .GOD BLESS HIM HE TRIED HIS BEST BUT CROUPT PEOPLE DO NOT WANT .I HAVE A SUGGESTION THERE SHOULD BE A SUPREEM COUNSEL CONSIST OF SIX MEMBER OF DEFENCE THREE MEMBER FROM JUDICIARY.ONLY HONEST AND HARD WORKING TO OVER LOOK FOR EVIL DISHONEST GUYS AND PUNISH THEM.THEY SHOULD MONITOR FROM PRESIDENT TO LOW LIFE CRIME LIKE RAPE OF 8 YEARS OLD GIRL .JAMAL

If I may answer your question (for which I am not being paid, I might add). You should have called the Islamabad Traffic Police to the scene.
Now if this was Shaukat Aziz’s tenure – he had given the Traffic Police “khuli chhutti” to fine diplomats, and parliamentarians – one even had his car lifted from the Ministry for escaping the scene of a confrontation with Traffic Police.
It seems the “honorable” former Chief Justice also had a tussle with the Traffic Police and essentially forced the police to back down – CJs have a lot of arbitrary powers it seems in Pakistan – including the ability to send serving officers to jail on a whim (please correct me if I am wrong).
In all the criticism of Shaukat Aziz, none of these idiotic media programs “taakra” etc. ever mentioned any of these things. In fact many of the PML-Q people have been reticent in their praise of Musharraf and Shaukat Aziz – because many of them did not particularly like Musharraf either – the whole Musharraf/PML-Q thing was a pretty awkward matchup – the real synergy actually existed between Musharraf and the PPP constituency – or at least that is my theory.
On one of the live call-in TV programs they had one caller who severely chastised the PML-Q parliamentarian (maybe he is part of the “forward bloc” now) for always coming on these programs and hearing criticism of Musharraf and Shaukat Aziz and then said the HE could provide a better list of achievements and then this caller started listing a whole list of them.
I do not know how the Traffic Police now manages the parliamentarians, but I would not be surprised if they have been slightly weakened with PM Gilani at the helm.

Pakistan’s defence establishment-if it can be called as an establishment-is the biggest farce ever enacted at the expense of a 170 million strong nation.
Abraham Lincoln was wrong, one can fool all the people-running into millions-all the time, by singing them lullabies, thrusting lollypops in their mouths and making them believe in trumped up and fictitious tales of valor and defence capability.
Pakistan has suffered the most at the hands of its own military, and the age olg dictum of, pakistan’s existence being imperilled by the internal dangers instead of the external ones is true, with our million strong forces being the gravest threat to our existence.

just a thing or two about Imran Khan and Mqm..all those who like Musharraf don’t think they are his alternative.
Lets start with Imran Khan first, don’t be fooled by Imran Khan,you might think oh hes not corrupt therefore he is good ,well Osama bin laden is not corrupt either so you may as well support him too.Imran Khan is a terrorist without a beard who has basically defended every terrorist act in Pakistan since 9/11. I was shocked to hear his analysis on the whole Lal Masjid incident ,he usually blames America and Musharraf for every terrorist act inside Pakistan, but since Lal Masjid incident was not liked to the war on terror ,he was a bit dumb founded so he started saying’ iss mulk mein fahashi bahut pehl rahi hay so therefore Lal Masjis people were justified’.i mean this is a guy who spent most of his life as a debauche and now that hes old ,he is aspiring to be Ayatullah Khomeni….give me a break.
He belongs to the same Mullah brigade of Qazi Hussain Ahmed,Hamid Gul,Hamid Mir etc who will put this country back to the stone age if elected.
As for MQM I am sorry to say that they are just a bunch of opportunistic thugs.I mean their main agenda in politics is to be against feudalism and here they have cut a deal with the biggest feudals in the country in pakistan people party.They might have been supporting Musharraf ,but I doubt their sincerity..infact they played a huge role in tarnishing Musharraf’s image in the country due to their criminal behavior on may,12.
September 20, 2008 at 10:04 am
Mr Sajjad,
wow some staunch supporter you are of the biggest criminal of this country.perhaps you need to set your records straight sir.as far as his popularity is concerned in the armed forces, i would not give any credence to your opinion as i am the one serving in the armed forces not you.the very fact that this criminal is still residing in army house just goes on to show how insecure he is.this creep continued to reide in army house despite resigning as army chief. it was kiyani’s right sir but no this man derived strength from such shallow actions.i can assure you sir that the officer corps of armed forces was no way less happier than the nation when this monster was thrown out. i only regret one thing though he should be prosecuted for his crimes.
you could not be more wrong when you say that us did not attack pak during his time. it is not that matter of number of attacks in a given time mister.the fact remains that this man started this horrific trend.he allowed them to use our airspace and bases. i am witness to all this. you just sit in your room and brag about his innocence. go in the military field and see what he has done.total fiasco. just for the lsut of power he sold his nation’s soul.he is singularly responsible for labeling pak as a terrorist state, because this man was a damn “coward”, only a coward needs to tell everyone how brave he is through chest thumping machismo.bravery speaks through actions.
as far as lal masjid is concerned mister sajjad you are probably on e of those people who are bred to think that a man wearing beard is an enemy of the state.Your reasoning though is not worth replying to, i would however tell you just one thing,the lal masjid operation can not be justified by anyone.you must think again before you speak for the brothel operators.there is absolutley no tolerance for such acts in our religion.unless you dont give much to your religion you must side with the martyred children.yes we can differ with the way they operated and i agree with you that there was a better way to protest but nothing can justify the bloodshed that followed.open y our eyes mr. this man installed a corrupt non elected man whose corruption is only now surfacing.his own party wont own him.wake up. call spade a spade.thats all your country asks of you.. not the support you render to this dictator.
September 20, 2008 at 11:27 am
lol this country has become a joke.imagine if somebody shows up in Zardari’s office and says’sir there is a problem of corruption in our country that we need to address’ how would that sound like ? lol…may be Zardari would say ‘oh well tell them to take 5% instead of 10%’
September 20, 2008 at 8:37 pm
mr ali sid,
well you have all the right to judge people in public eye. you can do it to your hearts content.however i would just say one thing about imran khan. he may have been a playboy in the past and lived a life of a casanova.but the truth is that this man has achieved something unlike most of the pygmies of uncle sam we have. our nation is a nation with very few achievements in recent past. this man single handedly won us the world cup and if you think thats not important.plz think again. sports build up a nations chara cter. name any nation that has achieved anythi ng without being good at sports. secondly this man built a cancer hosp despite all the criticism that he was on wild goose chase.give the man some
credit. all he has said is that talk with them . you are right about MQM

DID PAKISTANIS EXPECT DIFFERENT TO THE BOMB BLAST IN ISLAMABAD…..?WELL SORRY IF U DID…………………….
Scores die as suicide bomb hits hotel
Westerners were targeted in an attack that devastated The Marriott Hotel in Islamabad, killing at least 60 people
• Did we expect the government to be competent enough to manage security of Pakistan?
• Did we expect the government to secure Islamabad?
• Did we expect that the government would protect one of the few hotels in Pakistan where foreigners feel slightly safe and where two attempts have been made already in the past?
• We expected the government to deploy all security to look after Mr 10% because he was in Islamabad we did not expect them to look after the rest of Islamabad
• After receiving credible intelligence that a truck and a car would be used to blow up the parliament did we expect the government to act and beef up security?
The answer to the above is NO for ant-Musharraf supporters the answers was YES so I’m sorry for those people who were dreaming that government can manage the affairs of Pakistan..
A government which has in the last 8 months done nothing in terms of ECONOMY, TRADE, INVESTMENT, INFLATION, LOADSHEDDING and SECRUITY but only tried to strengthen their hold and their powers this is what was expected.
A TRUCK AND CAR FULL OF EXPLOSIVES ROAMING THE STREETS OF ISLAMABAD WHILE THE GOVERNMENT WAS DECLARING VICTORY IN THE NAME OF DEMOCRACY.
People would argue that under Musharraf their were more bombings, but they are wrong under Musharraf you had a clear policy in dealing with terrorism, under Musharraf their was attempt on MARRIOT but their was enough security in place to thwart that, Under Musharraf you weren’t helpless they way the government is now A HOTEL FULL OF FOREIGNERS WAS ALLOWED TO BE HIT IN SECURITY LAPSE WHICH COULD ONLY HAVE HAPPENED IN A HELPESS, USELESS AND INCOMPETENT GOVERNMENT, A TRUCK FULL OF EXPLOSEIVES ON THE STREETS OF ISLAMABAD GONE UNDETECTED AND ABLE TO DESTROY THE WHOLE HOTEL.
Under Musharraf you had the economy moving forward even when the bombs were going off but now the economy is on a downward trend and the security even worse. The combination of both economy and security worsening is a very dangerous scenario, something which Pakistan can’t afford.
A DECLINING ECONOMY, INCOMPETENT LEADERS, TERRORISM, LAWLESNESS,A DIVIDED NATION are the factors which create a FAILED STATE,THE DANGER IS THAT WE ARE HEADING TOWRADS THAT WAY…..
But what to do now the voters have voted in the government and has to put up with any possibility, shame that Pakistan has to suffer…..
September 21, 2008 at 1:41 am
MR SHEHRYAR..
Musharraf was 1000% justified in lal masjid simple as that as every government in the world would’ve acted,Army with musharraf thats why his in the army house,simple as that no arguements,his liked thats why his their.Thats why the army still pursue his policy in the tribal areas.
You might be in the army but ur some of those who always work against the interest of Pakistan and the army.
People like u dont like Musharraf because theirs one word which you survive on DICTATORSHIP i think you dont know the meaning of DICTATORSHIP.
Don’t you see the civilian dictatorshp where ZARADRI and his family run PPP where ZARDARI dictates GILLANI and the whole party,you dont see the DICTATORSHIP of PML-N where NAWAZ and his faily is the king and all their decisions are final.
I rather have a dictator in uniform like Musharraf who is more capable, more intelligent, better speaker and gave more democracy to Pakistan..rather than the civilian dictators who gave corruption, mismanagement and a failed economy to pakistan.
So dont just repeat DICTATOR DICTATOR AND DICTATOR because all in Pakistan are dictators….

Hopeless and Incompetent Individuals running the affairs of Pakistan
Rehman Malik an extremely hopeless and incompetent person in charge of security in Pakistan. Under him Pakistan should not be secured at all bombs will go off at will and the day is not far when the parliament house will be attacked as well.Rehamn Malik was in charge of security for his own leader BENAZIR if he could not protect her and as he mentioned in an interview that “he was not even aware that Benazir’s car was fired upon first” according to him “after the blast they rushed to the hospital to find out the car their following isn’t Benazir’s”. So someone who admitted being hopeless on Benazir’s security, how can he be in charge of the security of Pakistan.
The attackers of the hotel attacked at will and when they wanted as they were full aware that Islamabad is not secure anymore under the present government.
The evidence of the hopeless individuals running the affairs of Pakistan is clear despite having intelligence of a truck being used no solid step was taken to crack down or ban trucks for a limited period in Islamabad or at least in the red zone where the parliament and hotel is situated.
But instead we had all the security arranged for the one and only almighty ZARADRI.The terrorists tried a few times to attack Marriott in the last 9 years under Musharraf but due to satisfactory security arrangements they could not plan a truck bomb or any other large scale attack, but clearly now the terrorist felt more comfortable to fill up a truck of explosives and strike on the day they wanted and the way they wanted.
The clueless individuals of the government blame it on elements who are against democracy, which again shows that according to them it happened because they are right people to lead Pakistan, whereas once again its wishful thinking on governments part.
The terrorists didn’t strike because theirs democracy in the country now, they struck because the government is a weak and incompetent one in which all elements working against Pakistan have more chances of achieving their goals.
The prime minister said that the truck bomber wanted to target him and the parliament, the interior minister says that the truck bomber wanted to target the hotel, Sherry Rehman says the president was the target. Just their statements tell a story of a government in which no one is in control. The individuals in charge of Pakistan are clueless in tackling Pakistan’s issues. How long can we allow them to manage Pakistan……

Dear Marvi, salam
I’m very disturbed since last September 2007.I know you are not a psychic healer but at least I can share it with you. When twicely tested and defected looters of my country were allowed to come back under immense pressure of USA the great. I saw a dream about my respected President Musharraf long ago. I saw a small lake with two beautiful lotus flowers in it surrounded by marshland where he was standing and plucking the flower very calmly. His outfit and shoes were totally saved from that wet marsh.
I got depressed but then realized that it might be the upcoming difficulties in his life and Pakistan with the arrival of those 2 culprits and he would then overcome it. But later on, their agitation against him and leaving out his post so decently and in a very dignified manner made me understand the whole thing. He didn’t make himself dirty with them in that marsh and saving his outfit….his respect in his lovers’ eyes left gracefully without saying a word for those enemies of Pakistan(CIA’s sponsored so-called democratic leaders). If you happen to see him in near future…plz let him know how much my family love him and pray for him. May allah shower his countless blessings on him for ruling in such an honest, sincere and truthful way and may allah save our country from dishonest leaders. amin
well Sajjad i totally agree with you.keep up the good work…
September 22, 2008 at 12:06 pm
dis-agree their shahryar with you and your beloved Playbody turned Mullah Imran Khan.You can’t talk to terrorist who are hell bent on killing you and want safe heaven in your county .I agree with what Rahman Malik has said ,we only have 2 choices.. we either handover this country to Taliban or Fight against them.What Taliban and ALqaeda want in Pakistan is a safe heaven… because they are being attacked in Afghanistan, they want to cross the border into Pakistan and hide here.President Musharraf send forces to Waziristan for that very reason because if you don’t do it ..you will end up isolating yourself from the rest of the world.If idiots like Imran Khan come into power thats exactly whats gonna happen….he’ll turn a blind eye to all the terrorists hiding in this country who want to plan attacks against the Westerners and pretty soon we’ll be seen playing the same role that Taliban was playing for Al-qaqda before 9/11.We are a 3rd world country with way too many economic problems to let that happen.Most of our exports go out to America and Europe,if we follow Imran Khan’s advice ..not only will we be destroyed economically ,but will also end up imposing Sharia Law on ourselves,every Mosque in Pakistan will get encouraged to do what the folks at Lal Majid were doing.
September 22, 2008 at 12:54 pm
One more thing about Imran Khan he often talks about the Independence of Judiciary as if making the Judiciary in Pakistan independant will be this ground breaking event which will change this country forever.Judiciary in Pakistan is not like the Judiciary in England or Switzerland,it is the 3rd most corrupt institution in Pakistan according to Amnesty International and its deeply politicized..yes,whoever thinks this lawyers movement was about fighting for some pricniples or defending the constitution is a fool.If it was about that then why Aitazaz AHsan whos so relaxed nowadays… is a member of the party which is refusing to do the exact same thing which Musharraf was refusing to that is restore Chaudary.
Going back to corruption.A lot of these judges of the supreme court who have refused to take oath under Dogar are corrupt including the one every loves(thanks to geonews) Iftikhar Chaudary.I know that for a fact because some of my colleagues have had to deal with them ,they take bribes!.Yet some how they have been made to look like heroes in the eyes of the people.

Excellent debate i have seen on express tv today congratulations marvi you are really proud of the nation
September 23, 2008 at 10:12 am
Hi Marvi,
I saw you on capital talk last night.When I saw Farzana Raja shouting last night,I could’nt help, but think how big a mistake NRO was which allowed these horrible horrible people to come back to Pakistan and win elections.I have a lot of respect for Sir Musharraf,may be he was thinking that the secular forces in Pakistan need to be strengthened.But I am sorry to say, he got it all wrong by having a dialogue and then a deal with these crooks.Few people are worse in our country than these feudal politicians in Pakistan Peoples party.I think Musharraf should have realized that his real enemies apart from the Mullah Brigade were these politicians living in exile and not so much the judges and the lawyers.Because the supreme court of Pakistan kept supporting him for a very long time and did’nt allow sharifs and bhuttos of this country to come back.
September 23, 2008 at 8:06 pm
Not an interesting show at all.
Mardana Raja shouldn’t be invited in serious talk shows. She is good for Breakfast with Nadia Khan.
Taleban is our enemy. I hope this sinks into Hamid Mir soon.
I am proud of Marvi Memon she replied all quesetions very well.
I must admit that today Marvi Memon spoke very well … may be because she is not talking as PML Q representative, but as a Pakistani.
Again, Marvi Memon spoke awesome today !

September 23, 2008 at 10:36 pm
I want to conduct a self analysis and an open, transparent, self appraisal. Corporate training has made me believe in periodic appraisals. So here goes my first political self appraisal… Enjoy
Phase 1- accountability to the people.
I initially felt that through this website and my interactions with people…and especially web pages describing my daily activities I would put myself in the awami Katera. On this count, I feel that I have managed to start this trend whereby an MNA is accountable for their time to the people. Even a simple tool such as this diary has made me more conscious of the fact that I better be doing something productive daily or else I would have nothing to say on a daily basis on the diary page. This has pushed me to do things which I consider productive for Pak’s growth. I have tried to use my time judiciously.
Phase 2 – identifying problems and keeping a check of the dysfunctionalities of govt.
My personal rating on this is as follows: I feel I have successfully been identifying the problems through media analysis and through interaction with relevant constituencies – the problems being faced by Pakistan as a nation and as a state. I have also been successfully communicating them very actively, whether through media talks or through this website or through the many talkshows I have been doing.
Phase 3 – pushing govt for resolution of these problems.
I have been unsuccesful. I accept.
Phase 4 – on govt failing to resolve, providing solutions myself and getting them implemented myself.
On subjects where I consider I have an expertise I feel I have been providing solutions. On other issues where I dont have expertise i clearly have not been providing solutions. So I would rate myself partially successful on this front.
Going forward…I sincerely believe that today Pakistan’s biggest problem is that we have a lot more experts on problem identification rather than problem resolution. Here in lies the fault with each one of us politicians which we are not willing to accept. Govt will never accept that they are failing with resolutions. They only hide behind virsa syndrome and frankly end up alienating themselves from the people. Opposition has become a bandwagon and the team lead for the problem identifiers. We are stingy with our solutions since we believe that when we come into power then we will provide those solutions since only then can we implement them.
Having said this we have an urgent need for putting together a solution based team especially since govt is not performing its role. We need to have almost a parallel shadow cabinet from the people, from the informed youth and from the intelligentsia – experts who can come up with action plans to resolve our crisis since govt is not doing this …
I need your help… I want to know if you would like to be in this shadow cabinet of informed youth so that we can fulfil our obligations towards saving Pakistan from the quandry that it is in now.
Your country needs YOU.
Here is what I am suggesting:
I am creating shadow ministries with goals attached to them:
1-Interior Ministry: War against extremism and improve law and order and justice
2-Religious Ministry: harmonize relations between all faiths and within the same faith whilst improving the quality of Muslims we produce as a nation.
3-Foreign affairs Ministry: Dignified relations with our neighbours and other powers
4-Inter-provincial Ministry: improve relations between the provinces by being fair about resource distribution.
5-Finance Ministry : improve macroeconomic conditions of Pakistan
6-Agriculture Ministry: provide food security
7-Energy Ministry: provide energy security
8-Women ministry: empower women politically, socially and economically whilst protecting them from injustices
9-Environment Ministry: improve the environment of Pakistan
10-Industries Ministry: improve Pakistan’s industrial competitiveness and productivity
These are some basic goals. Through my email interactions with a lot of you I have realized that a lot of you want to be part of the solution and help Pakistan progress. If you are interested pls send your one page CV on my gmail address along with a one pager on why you should be chosen as a shadow Cabinet Minister/expert who will provide solutions through this forum to the government. Each Ministry should have 5 experts minimum so there is space for more than just a Minister!
I hope to hear from all of you soon…
September 23, 2008 at 10:41 pm
My role will be to take your solutions and action plans where feasible, to parliament and media and try and get govt to implement them…

Just saw you recently on Kal Tak (Sep) for the first time.
Good to know that there are people among the politicians who actually understand and speak the tongue of common man.
However, from other internet sites, I came to know that you were from PML(Q) and have spoken pro-Musharraf many a times in other talk shows. I’d rather not like to comment on your personal thinking about such issues, but here is a comment by one of the viewers of your programs that I’d like to share with you: “..at least Kashmala Tariq was smart enough not to praise Musharraf, Memon does so and with gusto: political suicide, not to mention a slap in the face of all pakistani’s.”
If so, I do consider it a slap on my own face too. How could you be on Musharraf’s side on one end and be patriotic along? Seems impossible, quite.
Anyways, whatever be your agenda (personal or otherwise), good luck in all your positive endeavours for the country. What I liked most about your style of speech was that you seemed to be one of us in the way you perceived things – infact, you reminded me of one of my lady classmates, who spoke the very same way on political matters.
Best Regards.
September 24, 2008 at 5:18 pm
I wanna put my hand up here Marvi eventhough I had this beautiful dream the other day where I saw General Kiyani making a speech on national t.v and all the private channels were blocked.
September 24, 2008 at 9:36 pm
ASIF Zardari is batting on two strikes. Another swing and a miss, and he’s going home. The first strike was the bizarre, abortive handover of the ISI to Rehman Malik.
The second was Kayani’s rebuke the day after Asif was sworn in as president. Ostensibly Kayani’s condemnation was of the Americans, but between the lines was the real target: Asif. Get your act together, the army chief was telling his supreme commander.
Asif has stumbled badly on Afghanistan. The macho men who wanted to defy the American juggernaut on the warpath the day after 9/11 are still amongst us, still advising defiance. The day after 9/11 this was sheer foolishness. But it is no longer the day after 9/11. Seven years of the Americans in Afghanistan and reality has changed. Pick up any report on the West’s adventure in Afghanistan and you will find two things: one, US policy in Afghanistan has been a failure; two, US policy in Afghanistan will not succeed without Pakistan being on board.
In the world of realpolitik, this is known as an opportunity. So why must Asif so cravenly accept the Americans letting loose their Special Ops troops and raining down missiles in Waziristan when he can happily unleash? He had every chance at his debut press conference; instead, he bizarrely chose to speak alongside Karzai. The Afghan president is about as popular in the Pakistani Army as George W. Bush in an Al Qaeda training camp.
What is the problem in Afghanistan? In a word: Karzai. Don’t take my word for it, here’s what The New York Times had to say in an Aug 20 editorial: “Afghanistan’s president, Hamid Karzai, must rein in his government’s rampant corruption that has all but driven his people into the hands of the Taliban and criminal warlords.” What then was Asif doing at the side of a man not only discredited in the West but hated by the Pakistan Army?
Another thing: the western – read American – strategy in Afghanistan has failed. Again, don’t take my word for it. Francesc Vendrell, the EU envoy in Kabul for six years, had this to say over the weekend: “We are not destined to fail, but we are far from succeeding.” Earlier, Vendrell told Stephen Sackur of BBC’s ‘HARDtalk’: “I do leave with a sense of regret that we’ve made so many mistakes. … we’ve got to do a hell of a lot to make things right.” In the euphemistic world of diplomacy, this is the equivalent of saying “we’re a disaster.”
Given this record of western failure why does Asif have to be so apologetic for Pakistan’s failure to help out the Americans in Afghanistan? There are 26 Nato and 14 non-Nato countries contributing troops to Isaf. Each country’s rules of engagement are so complex and dense that were the Taliban to walk right up to some Isaf troops and dance a little jig, certain countries would still not allow their soldiers to shoot. Why then must Pakistan always ‘do more’?
Perhaps if Pakistan wasn’t actually doing something about its Taliban problem – somewhere, anywhere – the supine cravenness of Asif before the Americans would be understandable. Except that we are. Bajaur and Swat are being pounded mercilessly, militants are being flushed out, leaders are being knocked off. But the Americans aren’t satisfied because Bajaur is at the northern tip of the tribal belt while they are more concerned with the southern bit. Waziristan, north and south, and the Haqqani, Hekmatyar and Nazir networks exercise the Americans. Meanwhile, 300,000 Bajauris flee the bombing and Ambassador Patterson, de facto American leader in Pakistan, announces that $50,000 has been set aside for “gas stoves, pots, utensils and plastic sheeting”. Well, fantastic. That’s less than the cost of a Hellfire missile fired from a predator. So for Asif to denounce the American forays into Pakistan wouldn’t be jingoistic nationalism – it’s common sense. For one, Asif need only imagine how much less common sense than nationalism there is in the army. For another, he has an unbelievable luxury – he can. Everyone knows the Americans can’t really afford to be on the wrong side of Pakistan. Jack Straw and the French have already distanced themselves from the strikes inside Pakistan. Here’s more from that NYT editorial, with the alarmist headline ‘Afghanistan on Fire’: “Sending American troops or warplanes into Pakistani territory will only feed anti-American furies. That should be the job of Pakistan’s army, with intelligence help and carefully monitored financial support from the United States.” If all these important – western – folk think American Special Ops running around Pakistan and blowing up the place is such a bad idea, why must Asif be so tepid in his criticism?
There’s another reason for Asif to unleash against the Americans. The same NYT story on Bush’s secret authorisation of strikes inside Pakistan, also had a staggering allegation against Kayani: that he knew of the plot to bomb the Indian embassy in Kabul. In living memory, a Pakistan army chief has not been directly implicated by the Americans in a criminal plot.
This then is the scenario that Asif is confronted with: angry Americans who can only rattle the Pakistani cage so much; an army chief who is under American fire; and a failed American policy in Afghanistan. Why can’t Asif connect the dots? Figure out who’s your enemy, who’s your friend and when to take a hit for the team, friendly or otherwise. Asif should make the Americans squirm a little. The next time Patterson, Boucher, Negroponte – or even Bush – is on the phone, ask your secretary to tell them you’re on the phone with your daughter at college.
And get a better team. We were made to believe that Chaudhry Mukhtar was passed over for prime minister because he was too much of his own man. None of that is on display as defence minister. Mukhtar must still be sulking over being passed over because every time he opens his mouth someone somewhere in a uniform gets angry. Then there’s the oily Husain Haqqani. Listen to the man long enough and you’ll be confused: is he the Pakistani ambassador to the US or the US ambassador to Pakistan? So incompetent is Asif’s defence team that the intellectual nobody with the connections to die for, Rehman Malik, has come out the brightest of the lot. At least you have to hand it to the indefatigable Malik: he does try, even if he’s out of his depth.
The survival lesson for Asif is clear: push back against the Americans, or else be pushed out by the army.

@ Marvi Memon
whats the difference between ppp and terrorsts. both killing innocent people
“Ansar Abbasi of The News reveals that the attack on Marriot was probably targeted on US Marines, who were on a secret mission and had shifted a truckload of steel cases in the hotel on same night when General Mullen met Gilani.”
Very efficient on the part of Jang News Group to distract people from the real horror of the incident.
I hope the Pakistani people will not be distracted by the conspiracy theories of these irresponsible journalists with an agenda.
The fact is that over fifty people have been brutally killed and two hundred fighting for their lives.
Shame on Jang News Group – the likes of Ansar Abbasi and the propagandist Hamid Mir – for misleading the Pakistani people.
If this doesn’t open up people’s eyes to what our military and agencies have been doing in FATA for the last two decades, I don’t know what else will.

A high alert warning issued at Islamabat Airport today.Marvi for Godsake tell em to make a border between Wazrisitan,Fata and the rest of the country…isolate them from the rest of Pakistan.Get em out of here!.we dont need these people!.
I can’t imagine whats gonna happen to the ruppee and the economy of Pakistan now which is already under pressure if these sucicide bombings starting happening on a more regular basis in our big cities.We cant afford this anymore ruppee is trading at 78 to a dollar and our reserves our dwindling.Last year when these suicide bombings started to happen our economy was is good shape ,ruppee was at 60 and our reserves were touching 16 billion dollars ,but now with whats happening around the world on the financial front and given the situation of our economy we cant take this anymore.Our aid provider America is facing crisis ,the saudi oil facility we dont know what happened to that.This is an alarming situation which can destroy us ecnomically to the point where dollar might touch 100 against our currency.Some drastic measures have to be taken here!.
September 25, 2008 at 6:29 am
the problem with us is that we take a long time to react.when 9/11 happened in the us, the us immigration authority reacted within months and new immigration laws came into place… 7 years on no other such attack has happened in the .u.s.They are doing the same with their financial crisis now…while we have waited over 7 months to come up with an economic strategy to resolve our economic issues.
I don’t know what we have been doing since 9/11 ,we have been waiting for things to go wrong or what?9/11 happened long time ago ,we should have realized it right then that we need to make our cities safe from the repurcussions of this…that should have been our priority!…rather than apealing to the political rhetoric that these people are our muslim brothers or what have you.the people who get hanged in pakistani jails everday are our muslim brothers too,may be we should’nt kill them either.
War and diplomacy alone is not gonna solve this problem,I don’t know what Rahman Malik is doing here…a day after the sucicide attack in Isb ,Dawn t.v was showing how easy it is for anyone to get into Islamabad without being checked.
We need to do checking at all entry points of our big cities,it does nt matter what problems that can cause ..it must be done …I was shocked to see that report by Dawn T.V.Its unbeleivable how incompetant our minsiters and authorities are in dealing with situations like these.
September 25, 2008 at 4:56 pm
respected marvi
AOA
i want to write something for the victims of suicide attackers and there families, i as a pakistani think that we must have to own and support the families of victims of suicide attacks who earn just 3000 or 4000 rs and lay down there precious thing, life for this country and really for “thankless” nation who axe there feet on 18th feb thankless nation who is busy in squaring one since last 61 years. thankless nation who cannot differentiate there friends and foes.
we must have to make a fund for these victim families cos it is our duty, i also feel pain in my heart when i saw only poor security guards, police sepoys and constibles and low ranks officials lay down there lives for there duty. now it is our duty to take care of there families , please highlight this issue in programs and educate our nation and in this regards i want to offer you my full support as much as i can.
i feel that by infilterating pakistani nationalism in us by media we can serve this beautiful country for which we all gave so much sacrifices, if we want to save our beloved homeland we must comeout from our provincial clolonies and parochialism, cast, creed, breed , language, sect. if we want to serve and save pakistan we must believe and think in pakistani nationalism.
i also request you to ask these plunders, looters and absconders who came into programs with you (PMLN and PPP politicians speciallu and rest in common) some questions
1- what is the main difference in the policies of respected General pervez musharraf and todays so called democratic government?
2- if these were right why didnt these nonsence politicians support these policies then ? and implementing now ? was animosity with general pervez overshadow national intrerest at that time.
3- please ask each of these morons, what agenda and vision they and there stupid leadership have for pakistan economy, foreign policy, interior policy and war on terror, also request them to stop telling us stories we are sick now by listeneing them again and again.
4- please mention one thing in your program also i as a patriot pakistani strongly feel that president pervez musharraf gave us true meaning of patriot leader, he was the man of tact and diplomacy which todays leadership lack badly. he was the man of strong nerves whereas todays leadership doesnt seems to sustain any pressure one last thing: these politicians have made a blunder(infat a ruthless creul with the nation and country) by removing general pervez musharraf, we firmly believe that general have still capability to drive out us from these worst circumstances which these inept so called leadershp lacks and find all solution in slogan “zinda hay bibi zinda hay” and in “Azad Adalia (Nawaz Adalia)”.
Thank you very much

marvi memon is one of the very few young & educated parliamentarian we have and she does not deserve the treatment the callers gave her today on faisal qureshi’s show. she may be bragging about the acheivement during their reign but it was all true. people should not be too harsh and could have been nice to her. our society is dominated by men and so is the parliament and all the parties im sure. plz i beg you all to curse and question those who are in power and yet are unable to do anything for the people of pakistan. And dearest Marvi Madam, we respect you and have faith in you. Please keep up the good work and prove to the nation that you are indeed here to help them.
Respectfully.

September 25, 2008 at 5:36 pm
Hello Madam Marvi,
Saw you on sama t.v with Faisal.Goodness me what was up with that kid ,better not leave everything to the youth of this country haha.
One thing I realized after watching that discussion is that people here don’t talk enough about the big issues in our country like corruption,murder,feudalism,fanaticism.Even Faisal is always more interested in talking about trafic violations and trash cans instead of focusing on the big issues.May be the problem is that if we talk about corruption or murder on t’v we ‘ll get threatened because a lot of our politicians are involved in that.Let Faisal talk about whats been going on in Karachi University for instacne where a lot of studens have died recently because of student clashes between 2 rival groups ,yet our government does not want to ban student unions.Lets talk about the corruption in government offices where somebody whos not even matric pass is making more than a Harvard Graduate would.Have you ever been to a registrar office in Karachi for Property registration?Why can’t the t.v crew of these channels show up there and expose the corruption of these people in these offices?.I’ll tell you why because they are scared to death ,its much easier for them to instead talk about the corruption of a trafic police officer.This is the problem with our society, we are reluctant take on the most evil and the most horrible because the most evil and the most horrible in our society is often the most powerful…so we find comfort in going after the weak.
September 25, 2008 at 5:57 pm
okay now i wached your programme marvi. you are an awesome speaker no doubt, but i think that you can be a little too critical to the government sometimes. your approach as you have already said is changing that you will inshallah provide solutions instead of criticism.thats nice of you.
marvi i was an ardent suporter of your government before you were even there. i think well as it was showed that the macro economic stabilty was brought in but this being a private forum you should realize that it was all because of the massive 65 billion dollars pumped into the economy by the foreginers …you just cannot deny that..todays econoic situation is a result of the huge import bill imposed by the prreivous government due to an over allowance of imports which was previously termed as “the growth factor”. i think this governemnt but any government would have faced such a calamity.
thirdly it is about your party. i am sorry to say that the q league is highly unpopular in punjab atleast ans nawaz sharif is heavily popular beacuse of shahbaz sharif’s administrative abilities. and by heavily i mean literaly heavily, and that is to say that no single person have ii encountered whom would have said that shahbaz sharif or the nawaz league is much better than the q league and it would have been better of you to have jonied them for they being very honest. if it hasnt reached your ears then i would like to inform you that pervaiz elahi’s son moonas elahi has a very reputation of being a land grabber. no such reputation is from the nawaz league i ther is then do tell me.
September 25, 2008 at 5:59 pm
Hi All,
Firstly, I would like to congratulate Marvi on starting a good practice…it may be a first drop of rain….
Although, I’m a Big anti-supporter of her party but it does not stop me from commending someone who is doing a good job.
I just wanted to highlight one point that Marvi & other readers may like to take up as an action item. Why do we leave everything on our leaders? What can we, at our own, do to to play our part in this Society?
Unfortunately, we Muslims leave everything on others (Allah or leaders) and want to get Jannah free of effort.
My suggestion is to look around ourselves and identify our area of influence, start providing support to whosoever we can. It could be as minimal as helping someone find way, cross road, keeping our houses and streets clean etc. or it could be sponsoring education for as many kids as we can afford, creating and managing our Social groups to positively influence our society.
Lets all play our part in Changing Pakistan and stop criticising others.
Cheers

hello Ms. Memon,
i checkd todays Ankahi with faisal n saw u exploding. u explained ver well, but i think there was one straight answer to the silly question that the girl kept on asking ie, how many schools have marvi memon established.
i wonder when can we start asking the right question. why we think that the only good thing is to build a school or a hospital. Though these things are important but an MNA should focus on policy making and strategic leadership to the nation.
u envision and speak very well, but speak of your own vision and role and not for your party. your expertise in areas of environment, law, women development are much needed at these times
best of luck
September 25, 2008 at 9:21 pm

Saw your program with faisal, first up the website and the shadow parliment is a good thing keep it up.
The young lady in the program was a bit unreasonable I would give you that much. However some straight answers a bit of honesty touches people thats all.
I would like to be a part of the shadow parliment thing how do I proceed. I work in IBM Pakistan and have MSC Computer Science from LUMS so where do I start work??

Firstly, notice your presence in the last days of our President in Presidency. However, good to know yours sincere affiliation towards him when rest of the lot were performing ‘dunya dari’.
Secondly, I never meet President in my life, as for some believe with unseen or seen is alike, I, cherished him for his vision and patriotism for our Country. Further, I am neither Q leaugi (though have soft corner) nor I am affiliated with any political force on ground. I was and I am Musharaf supporter: “saviour of Pakistan”.
Lastly, for the reason of bonding stated above I will write you solutions, whenever intuited, with regards to the topics you mentioned on Talk show.

Dear Marvi
I feel pretty upset for having Zardari our president. I feel even worse for our nation to be so ignorant about his past. It’s an irony for this nation to have leaders like him. I won’t at all blame Zardari for what he has been doing. He tried his luck and won the jackpot. Good for him. He was the second richest of the country but now he will make sure he appears on the world ranking. Who will lose? The poor people who don’t even know what is going on?
The big question is if we deserve democracy?
Not at all. What kind of a nation are we? We are a nation with very weak and sensitive foundation. Our country is divided into provinces and all the people are divided into various tribes, cultures, religions and sects. Even our army has groups, Punjab regiment, Sindh regiment and Baloch regiment. Each group is proud of itself and hates the others. Recently the discussion of changing the name of NWFP was going on. Come on! Give me a break. Name is not going to make a difference until you wash their brains. Class difference is another big issue. Until we get rid of this hatred by having only one platform, we can never be one and a good nation.
Now what is the solution?
Of course its not democracy. There is a dire requirement of having a bloody revolution. It could be a tough martial law by a tough general like Hitler. Other than it there is no hope for this country. God be with us.
September 25, 2008 at 11:27 pm
Mr Karim
We deserve democracy and only democracy. We will get it right eventually…

This is a reply i received from…. Sajjad Riaz
————————————————
Working for a Safer Pakistan
As an Interior Minister I would work 24 hours a day to make Pakistan a safer place. As I live in the UK I would use the knowledge I have of the policing standards of the UK and how the UK has been able to make sure one law exists from one corner of the UK to the other. I would be focusing on making POLICE the most powerful, respectful, and fearful and ROABDAR.A stronger police throughout Pakistan will restore the confidence of ordinary Pakistanis and they will start abiding by the law and respect the police.
So as a free Justice Systems is important for a strong police force as both work parallel together a free judiciary is very important. But I will focus on Police reforms and a strong police will help the judiciary strengthen itself.
I will not go into too much detail as I will need more time and in depth research. But just to outline the main points for you Marvi I will as interior minister take the following steps:
• Call a high rank meeting with all the police chiefs from all provinces and major cities such as Lahore, Islamabad Karachi and others.
• I will asses the situation of the basic problems at lower level policing, I will request reports on the problems the police face and the lack of the resources. After meeting with all the concerned I will ask for an action plan from them on the improvements we need to make and than suggest my improvements.
Firstly I will request the federal government for a huge increase in the police budget without this we cannot go anywhere.
Major Changes which I would be starting for the POLICE:
• CCTV Cameras to be installed in all major towns and slowly all over Pakistan
• Fingerprint Machines to be kept at all major police stations
• First of all massive pay increase in all ranks all over Pakistan
• Equipped them with advance weaponry
• Better and faster vehicles, get rid of all pick-ups which are not safe
• Less police in police stations more patrolling on the streets
• Latest wireless sets and police stations equipped with computers and finger print taking machines.
• Recruit more police
• We need re-training of police in terms of their educational training:
• To improve their professionalism
• To teach them the basic skills they can use in their day to day duties like using fire extinguishers, working closer with communities, friendly attitude, speaking manners
• Enough Police available to provide security to people on their doorsteps
Police needs reforming, pay increase and benefit increase, new equipment in terms of weapons and cars will motivate them together with their re-training to be more professional and more educated.
Once a strong police force is in place a lot of local level problems and even terrorism can be kept a close eye on. Police need to be professional in identifying the problems and need to be capable in taking their own initiatives and implementing their own security plans.
Controlling Al-Qaeda and Western Border
Immediately without any delay we need to:
• Send more army on the western border to an extent that the border with Afghanistan is sealed to an extent that is possible, seal the border and don’t worry about any criticism from the Mullahs. You can’t target Taliban when they can easily cross over the border and come back and regroup gain so SEAL THE BORDER COMPLETELY.
• The army needs to spread out in FATA specially places like SWAT, talk to terrorists if they give up than fine, but if they don’t than go after them relentlessly without giving them more deadlines and until they are wiped out. NO COMPROMISE ON THIS.
• Spread the army on the borders of the settled areas and the FATA region, check the inflow and outflow in each area.
Maddrassahs and Mosques
• We should not hesitate, with the help of peaceful citizens start closing down maddrassah’s who only teach the QURAN as teaching only the Quran is radicalising young people and they can easily be turned into suicide bombers.
• So any mosque or any madrassah’s which spreads hatred against anyone and any madrassah’s which only teaches the QURAN warn it and if they don’t comply than close it. NO COMPROMISE.
VIP & GUN CULTURE
• No VIP movement in any town including ISLAMABAD, it has to stop
• No one displaying a gun in public. NO ONE MEANS NO ONE. Gun only allowed if it is licensed and the person has it for self-protection. Even for self-protection it needs to be hidden under the jacket or waist coat or shirt or blazer BUT STRICTLY NO DISPLAY OF WEAPONS IN ALL PAKISTAN EVEN THE TRIBAL AREA.
Above is just an outline to show you, it requires more time to explain in detail but it’s an outline and it will work. If I ever enter Pakistani politics than I will work my way to the Interior Ministry as I would love that challenge. I live in the UK and the normal security guards here have more training and professionalism and danger awareness than the Pakistani police.
LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.

@ Marevi Please Give us your Important Views in Recent Zardari Scandle? What is your Point of you as Political Party of 80 Million Voters.
Sarah Palin Meets Horny Pakistan President Zardari
Zardari’s recent meeting with Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin and Candidate of Vice President got good attention in international media due to Zardari’s expressions and comments he made during his short meeting.
Zardari then called her “gorgeous” and said: “Now I know why the whole of America is crazy about you.”
“You are so nice,” Palin said, smiling. “Thank you.”
A handler from Zardari’s entourage then told the two politicians to keep shaking hands for the cameras.
“If he’s insisting, I might hug,” Zardari said. Palin smiled politely in response

Notice that Sarah Palin’s demeanor and mannerism is so professional and firm. To Zardari’s “gorgeous” comment she replied with a customary, “so nice of you” remark and ideally speaking that should have been the end of the light-heartedness of Mr President’s flirtation. But no! He chooses to add another stupid remark, “Now I know why the whole of America is crazy about you”, which Sarah Palin brushes aside with a slight movement of her hand, contaminating, “Oh come on!.” But Mr President is not to be embarrassed yet and so he continues, “If he’s insisting, I might hug”. It cannot be more shameless and filthy. Zardari’s tone of voice, his eagerness to appease Sarah, his conduct is akin to the behavior of cheap, uneducated, perverted people, let alone being the president of an Islamic country. He is utter shame and a disgrace. I personally cannot bring myself to watch the video again out of an absolute sense of shame at having such a person as our president.
“Watch Sarah’s reaction on Zardari comments. She suggests ‘JA OO YAKKA’”
Awful display of manners by Mr.Zardari at the international stage when he met with Sarah Palin, his language was also cheap and disgraceful.
Remember Mushraf Last Word on His Last Address to the Nation “Pakistan Ka Khuda he Hafiz”

Marvi, Good to hear that you have website, at least someone could write to you.
I am a proud Pakistani who is ashamed of its politicians. Its them who has brought bad name to our country. Its amazing how people like you could think and work for people like Shujaat, Sharifs, and Zardari’s – may be hoping that one day things will change. Marvi, to bring change it needs courage which our politicians doesn’t have they all are bunch of thugs and thieves. When I say that, I talk about the majority not the exceptions. You talk about the change, what have you done to bring that change within your party. Mushahid, you think he is any better. He speaks well but you know he is another hypocrite. It makes me puke when I see all of them talk or things they do when they visit abroad. (Recent example of Zardari in America – Flirting with Ms. Palin as if he was in a Bar or a Pub). Unfortunately our pseudo intellectuals who doesn’t have any mannerism or etiquettes to represent this country.
It makes me sick to my stomach when I see people like you try to defend military rule, being a lay man even I know that dictatorship is not a solution for any progressive country.
I don’t see any sign of things getting better, things will be worse to get better but I am hopeful that one day all these B——- will be brought to justice. Ms. Memon you were in a party which is not any better but I am hopeful that one day people like you will form one party and will join hands under one umbrella and try to work for the prosperous Pakistan i.e. if we get that chance.

salam,
Its good to see the young blood coming to the service of mankind. In supporting Musharaf, I would say that he is tainted with the innocent blood of the Jamia Hafsa martyrs, the Balochs and the Tribals. Because of him, we have literally lost Kashmir in the UN. It would have cost us less had America attacked us than supporting it and the miseries we are going thru nowadays because of his doings, every body knows that.
Any way, keep up the good work and wish u good luck.
September 26, 2008 at 10:22 am
Salam, you are doing a great job in running this blog.
I have read views of several writers on the Lal Masjid issue. It is ironic that on the one hand we talk of fighting terrorism and on the other hand, when foreigners (terrorists) get killed in the operation, we start condeming our government no holes barred. Those writers who are complaining of the excesses must know that their veiws are tainted by the ever blackmailing and revenue hungry media. People must remember that news is not what is correct, but news is what sells. Our media (specific channels) made millions on this and many other issues because it is their business!
Let me ask those saying that innocent civilians (women and children) were killed in the Lal Masjid operation in hundreds: WHERE ARE THEIR FAMILIES???? WHY ARE THEY NOT PROTESTING????
In a country, when even Munnu Bheel was protesting for the missing people of his family it was taken as if President Musharraf had done it, since it was fashion those days. There could have been many others like him. But conspicuous by their absence are the families whose so called daughters, sons were killed in the operation!!!!
GIMME A BREAK. Please start thinking logically without having hatred or bias towards anyone. LET THE FACTS DICTATE THE COURSE OF HISTORY and not misplaced priorities.
As for those who say that President Musharraf is a dictator, they must have voted for either of the two dynasties. One being led by a 20-year old Oxford student who is barely eligible to vote, and the other by two brothers, one son-in-law and one samdhi, who have naturally made it into their personal fiefdom.
Thats democracy!!!!
September 26, 2008 at 12:06 pm
DEAR MARVI MEMON and other friends in the media,
There is something seriously wrong with Geo TV, AAj TV and some other channels. – either they are too obsessed with the terrorists or are funded by someone or are themselves misguided. I think it is high time the media sets it priorities right. Stop brain washing the people of Pakistan and stop siding with the terrorists and enemies of Pakistan.
Geo and some channels were the one who was instrumental in removing our last President Pervez Musharraf. They are responsible for creating political uncertainty in the country by bringing the lawyers and judges on the streets; they are responsible for interviewing stupid ex service men and stupid politicians mainly from the pml-n which has created a bad image of Pakistan around the world.
It is high time these channels stop their propaganda in favor of the extremists and terrorists and stop calling them- our people, innocent people and the war against the terrorists as America’s war. This is OUR WAR, THESE PEOPLE ARE TERRORISTS AND NOT INNOCENT PEOPLE; THEY ARE ENEMIES OF PAKISTAN AND NOT MUSLIMS.
The media can play a very important role in removing this misconception from the minds of the citizens by showing the truth and stop supporting these terrorists. Our religion is a religion of tolerance, peace and justice. So let us become clear about:-
1. THIS WAR IS OUR WAR.
2. THESE EXTRIMISTS AND TERRORISTS ARE NOT FRIENDS OF PAKISTAN OR OF ISLAM.
3. THE MEDIA SHOULD CONDEMN THE INMATES OF THE LAL MASJID AND NOT SIDE WITH THEM. YOU CANNOT NEGOTIATE WITH ARMED PEOPLE AND NO ONE CAN BE ALLOWED TO DICTATE THEIR INTERPRETAION OF ISLAM ON OTHERS.
I urge people like Hamid Mir to please realize the gravity of the situation and may good sense prevail. I also urge him to stoop interviewing fools like ansar abbasi and some ex service men whose one leg is in the grave and one outside, please stop the rapping of the judge’s issue which is finished and sorted out.
There is a big conspiracy against Pakistan, this conspiracy is being funded by someone and political parties like pml-n, some media, and some judges, some ex service men are playing in their hands. May be the intentions of Hamid Mir are good but he is being misguided. Anchors of bolta Pakistan on AAj tv are also behaving in a very irresponsible manner, dr. aamir liaquat- a religious scholar who has nothing to do with politics is mixing religion with politics and misguiding people.
I salute people like Lucman, faisal Qureshi, jasmine manzoor, rana mubashir, kamran khan. PJ MIR etc who have a better understanding of the problem and are looking for better solutions.
I hate politicians like Qusi hussain and Imran khan. They are enemies of Pakistan. They cannot see any good in anything and only want to criticize. They always talk in favor of the inmates of the lal masjid and terrorists.
FINALLY A LAST REQUEST TO GEO TV- STOP THIS PLAYING WITH FIRE, U R RISKING THE LIVES OF THE CITIZENS OF PAKISTAN FOR PERSONAL BENEFITS OR POLITICAL GAINS. THINK OF PAKSITAN AND TRY TO SAVE PAKSITAN.
MAY ALMIGHTY ALLAH SAVE OUR COUNTRY FROM THE MENACE OF TERRORISTS AND EXTRIMISTS AND PUT BACK PAKSITAN ON THE ROAD TO PEACE, STABILITY, GROWTH, SECURITY AND PROSPERITY. AMEEN.
September 26, 2008 at 12:07 pm
WHAT R THE SOLUTIONS-
1. GOOD, CHEAP AND UNIFORM EDUCATION IN ENGLISH MEDIUM THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.
2. FIGHT WITH FULL FORCE AGAINST THE EXTRIMISTS, TERRORISTS AND INTOLERENT PEOPLE.
3. PEACE TREATY WITH ALL THE PEACEFUL FORCES IN NWFP AND TAKING THEM INTO CONFIDENCE, PUTTING THE ONUS OF PEACE ON THEM AND IMPLEMENTING DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITIES ON A WAR FOOTING.
4. ACCELERATE THE PRIVATISATION PROCESS AND ENCOURAGE AND GIVE FULL CONFIDENCE TO THE FOREIGN INVESTORS TO START THEIR INDUSTRIES IN PAKISTAN.
5. DISCUSS ALL THE ISSUES IN THE PARLIAMENT AND DEVELOP CONCENSUS.
ENOUGH TO START WITH!!
September 26, 2008 at 1:55 pm
Well I agree with you there Karim.Although we can’t give up on the people of Pakistan.Education is the key here…a more educated Pakistan won’t vote for crooks.But even more important than that is the economy,its unfortunate that Musharraf made some strategic blunders which led to politicial turmoil and in turn hurt the economy in Pakistan…otherwise things would have stayed calm and Pakistan would have achieved a lot ecnomically in years to come.The problem with going after the bad people in our politics like Zardari and others is that it can de-stabilize the country and further hurt an already weak economy.. thats why Musharraf was perhaps reluctant to taken them on and chose to resign.And I am sure General Kiani would also let these people do their job rather than worry about their character at this time.

———–
Yes Ma’am. It will be an honor to join the shadow cabinet.
I would like to state that the policies and upgrades propsed by Mr Sajjad Raza in a letter you posted on your blog are amazing. I just wish this proposition is accepted as is. It is the need of the hour and enough is enough, they have been warned many a times and since they’re retaliating like this killing innocent civilians who have nothing to do with this war, its time that some army action is taken. a severe one this time.
Empowering and educating the police is a very very good idea. You’ll also have to make sure that they don’t abuse their powers. They need to understand that with power comes great responsibility. Ensuring that they do this with the police of every city of pakistan starting with isb ofcourse. Even better if they launch this training program simultaneously in all major cities like karachi, lahore, isb, peshawar & quetta and then send these newly trained officers to train other policemen in their regions and provinces.
I would also like to see some action against corruption and ever increasing inflation & poverty in our country. You have a lot of challenges but you have our support! Please keep up the GREAT work Ma’am!
Last but not the least, I did not knew we had such great leaders in our country. I would like to see you as a foreign minister or even president some day as we need to prove to the world that Benazir was not the only woman leader we had! We have MARVI too
Respect,

marivi my solution to the ongoing religious extremism is that we have to move against the war against these militants. they will keep on pouring in and it will be a war that will span years from now. keep that in mind that all other countries facing these insurgency donot stop but get these again and again and we have to stop this war rite now because its effects have already starting to pour in our cities. protest against these war tactics. the tribal areas were never under our control and will never be . even if the militants have taken control of the tribal areasthen it is the problem of the tribals themselves. they can deal with them on their ownselves. leave them alone.
please protest agianst thse war tactics. or we will be called a failed state again. zardari sahib is doing this to get american dollars for the sake of pakistani life. are we people left to die while our politicians sit there to make these stupid decisions.

Madam, I think you should join Pakistan’s People’s Party thats all I wanted to say, I hope you would give it a thought, a person whos as qualified and talented as you wil fit in PPP.

Education and Awareness Campaign:
A very important point I want to make here to all Musharraf and Marvi supporters out there as I am one of you also.You won’t achieve much unless you change the mindset or the psyche of the people in this country.A lot of what we are talking about here like police revamping,developmental work etc did happen under Musharraf’s era…infact Musharraf’s era was the most golden in the history of Pakistan in terms of economic development and yet very few people came out to support him in the end. I remember the time when things were going right for him and people were saying ,oh the the politics of Sharifs and Bhuttos is over and people are on his side now,I knew it even then that they were wrong because Musharraf is so different than how an average Pakistani voter is…even if our reserves had touched 50 billion dollars they still would have found a way to to dislike him.
What we need is a change in the behavior of our people who over and over again have voted for the wrong people in elections.A fundamental and a long lasting change in our behavior can only come about through education and awareness.We need to set up schools in villages and poor areas of Pakistan where not only childeren ,but also adults are given the same education that our childeren receive in posh areas.And it should be a philosophical change in the minds of the people that we should be after rather than just a change in knoweledge.may be they need to know who Aristotle was and what Immanuel Kant was thinking.They need to know about the history of capitalism,socialism and all religions of the wrold including our own.They need to be exposed to differet ideas and concepts of the world.They need to be taught what Feudalism is and how it has hurt those living in the villages.They need to know how corruption and mis-management of our politicians has hurt our economy.They need to learn why certain countries of the world are ahead of us economically and socially,what have they done that we have’nt.
This education and awareness campaign has to be spread like a religion to all corners of Pakistan because it is only through this that we can change the mindset of an average Pakistani and change Pakistan in return.

i m a banker,i happen to watch a tele prog on sama T.V in which you were invited and i consider you a good addition in Pakistani politics as we need young,energetic and educated polititions
i wan to draw your attention towards a serious issue regarding recognition of Isreal and i think you are the right person to present it in the parliment
Govt of Pakistan has removed one of the imp clause in L.C opening(for Int trade)i.e “shipment tarnsshipment through Isreali ship/port is prohabited”,would we consider it a step towards recognition of Isreal, as this clause was a part of every L.C since ever Int trade has been started in Pakistan(senior Bankers know)

On foreign policy a message on my gmail
—————————-
I want to give suggestions that in my view can affect Pakistan’s foreign policy in a positive way.
1.There is a need to shrink the quantity of political appointees in the Foreign Service. Considering the peculiar situation Pakistan finds itself in we cannot afford to have any doubt in the professional abilities of our diplomats. It will also be wise to restrict whatever political appointees we will have left to less significant capitals around the world instead of the most important ones.
2.Ideally foreign affairs and defense ministries chalk out their respective strategies regarding foreign policy relationg to sovereignty and security issues, these policies are debated over by the ministries among each other and final draft of proposals is submitted to Executive by the Foreign minister for approval. Sadly I don’t see this happening. Defense minister should represent consensus view of all departments under his ministry including the military, instead Gen. Kayani and Ahmed Mukhtar have been found to be poles apart in their statements regarding U.S. attacks. The lack of consensus needs to be addressed and defense minister should be quick to come up with consensus proposals of all departments under him, then only should these proposals be debated upon with the foreign ministry.
3.There are two major theoretical paradigms and approaches in the international system, these are realist and complex interdependence. Realist paradigm broadly says that the primary goal of a state is of survival. Security and sovereignty is the basic point of contention, it has some famous advocates like Henry Kissinger. Complex interdependence on the other hand says that as the international systems have evolved there are economic and social issues other than just security that need to be addressed which can only be done by collective effort and will of the states involved. This paradigm according to many also sees sovereignty and its violation in a more lenient manner than realist paradigm, example of functioning complex interdependence is European Union. Pakistan needs to be able to deal with different countries using the suitable approach depending on bilateral relations, ground realities and its self interest. For example Pakistan should pursue complex interdependence with countries like China and Saudi Arabia considering these countries’ long lasting strong relationships with Pakistan. Unfortunately this policy is being applied to the U.S. Pakistan government should be wise enough to adopt a policy towards U.S. that is a middle ground between realist and complex interdependence. Government should promote economic ties with U.S and be its ally in war against terror as this stance will work in interest of Pakistan , but it should be strong enough to adopt realist approach of keeping its security and sovereignty foremost. It should be understood that U.S. is not taking us along as its ally because of some sympathy that it has for us but for the simple purpose of achieving its self interest as would have been done by any other state in its place and it is not likely to abandon us if we sand up straight while negotiating.
4.Last but not the least, parliament should be one of the significant determinants of foreign policy as is the case in legitimate democracies.

September 27, 2008 at 9:17 pm
well mr sajjad,
you dont seem to have a reception mode for anything that goes against musharraf.. dont be too blind in his love…i wont argue about his popularity in armed forces with you..bcos all you talk about is wishfull thinking and your own desires…whereas i am a part of the armed forces..so you can go around telling people how popular that creep is in army..but the fact remains..its my word against yours…by the way if he was so popular why did the army not rescue him out of the muck that man got himself into…ever bothered your brain about this…no i guess..because you are love stricken..
your musharraf was a man with no ethics…how can you justify his writing a book while still wearing the uniform…earning millions from simon and shusters publishing house..he said i would spend this money for poors..haha i guess he was the poorest of them all…this is what we call poor ethical sense…doing what you tell your sub ordinates not to do..hypocrate…greedy and selfish…
when did i say i approve of zardari…i hate his guts more than musharraf but why do you keep forgetting who is responsible for his ascent to presidency, sorry brother it is musharraf…he wanted ppp and benazir’s help to bail him out of the fiasco he had created by firing the judges..he knew that marvi’s party would be on he wrong side of the election resultss..thats why he ran all the way to dubai to meet benazir and ppp stalwarts…so you see he brought t his monster for his own rescue , but they turned the tables on him…this proves again that he (musharraf) is a liar , selfish and a manipulator..an d fell in his own trap..this man really had the nerve to think we would accept his lollypop of reconciliation..creep called benazir and nawaz sharif criminals and then went all the way to meet her…even robert mugabe has better ethics..
i completley support your point of view about the terrorists…we need to eliminate them…but we have to differentiate between tribals and terrorists…if we continue to be trigger happy with poor aim we would continue to turn a lot of young tribals into terrorists…i have been engaged with the operations since 2003 and there was no problem in fata except south waziristan..now the entire region has insurgencies…waziristans, bajaur, mohmand,swat,aurakzai and dir….we have to admit that there has been a lot of collateral damage….i only say that if dr afia is involved in terrorism then we must punish her ourselves..go ahead hang her but please dont hand them to us…and if you think thats not true then read your beloveds book in he line of fire(nannay ke karnamay)he himself accepts that he handed over people an d earned money…dont make this nation “impotent”.
musharraf’s foreign minister kasuri has himself admitted that they allowed drones to fly in pakistan and target people…now whats your take on this…
when you accuse zardari of indecent behaviour when he flirts with sarah palin then you must remember that musharraf also danced infront of a gathering of hundreds of civil servants…he enjoyed seeing his chairman CBR doing a mujra for him…thats also indecent…
i am sick of listening to all your hue and cry about economical progress..i am a soldier but still i wont accept all this crap….what economy even before this pathetic government had taken over, the flour crsis had set in, electricity shortage was there, petrol prices started to rise…shaukat aziz was a liar much like his mentor…where is he?made billions and escaped i guess..even ur musharaf said before he resigned that i have asked shaukat aziz o come back and defend his actions but he has not replied..wake up mr sajjad…please call spade a spade…
September 27, 2008 at 9:38 pm
mr ali sid,
i never said i am very fond of imran khan..infact i think he is really stupid to hang out with qazi and jamat-e-islami…all i said was give the man some cr e d it for his achievements…yeah he may have been a playboy..but if you disapprove of that then you should be disapproving of musharraf as well..the old slut was a self styled playboy as well(remember his dancing infront of hundreds and all the stories of his drinking antics)….the fact remians that imran is not corrupt…his leadership qualities are accepted even by his bitter rivals, the man has given this country a premium cancer hospital….ifyou can have a general as a leader then you might as well try a cricketer also…the difference b etween the two is that your general led a campaign (kargil) and lost..his campaign is called the strategic blunder…but imran fought from behind and won his campaign(world up 1992)…so on one hand you have a looser and on the other a winner…aint no difficult to choose between the two for me..what about you?…if cricket diplomacy is used for resolving disputes at summit level then who could be better than imran to lead…if you can bear to see your mushy accomodating a corrupt man like zardari then have some patience for imran as well…yes he needs to reconsider his affliations with qazi but still the man has a clean chit….stop supporting musharraf please…not a single man came out on strees for him…this shows how popular he was…this country needs to go back to its roots…dont hand it over to liberal fascists like musharraf, salman taseer and co….this country was meant to be a modern islamic state not a secular state..we have no place for both taliban and liberal fascists….

Zardari’s Mental Sickness is Understandable
Zardari can’t hide himself
http://thecurrentaffairs.wordpress.com/2008/09/28/sarah-palin-zardaris-mental-sickness-is-understandable/
When well-known and well-established criminals like these hide their crimes against humanity in the wraps of democracy, it doesn’t make them innocent or their deed benevolent. It simply pushes the world closer to more instability and turmoil because it provides an opportunity for perpetuating lies and deception and intensifying their negative consequence. Here is a quick example of how victims of their crimes int he anme of democracy are not even allowed to set their foot on the US soil: US visa urged for Mrs Janjua . On the other end of the spectrum, if would be naive to assume that Zardari’s crimes are while collar corruption crimes. They are not. While Bank accounts of Zardari and Bhutto-like criminals swell, thousands upon thousands die as a result of their crimes.
For that, Washington must finally persuade Pakistan’s leaders that this is not just America’s fight but essential to their own security and survival as a democracy. And Pakistan’s leaders must persuade their citizens
September 28, 2008 at 2:56 am
MR SHEHARYAR THE DUMMY SOLDIER..
First of all well done for not liking ZARDAR AND NAWAZ, secondly I agree with you that to a certain extent it was a blunder to let NAWAZ and ZARDARI back in the country and Musharraf has paid the price for. That’s where I believe Musharraf wasn’t a dictator who hanged all his opponents but was too soft on them and also if your going to promote democracy and the people of the two big parties PML-N and PPP are crying and protesting that let our leaders come back to their country otherwise we’ll start destabilising everything and boycott the elections, than in the situation MUSHARRAF had to make some decisions..But anyway let’s say that Musharraf got that wrong and he should not have done NRO..
You say the army didn’t like MUSHARRAF, now if the army did not like Musharraf than:
1. WHY DID IT SUPPORT HIM TO OVERTHROW NAWAZ SHARIF IN 1999?
2. WHY DID HELP HIM RIG THE ELECTION IN 2002(WELL IF THEY WERE RIGGED)
3. WHY DID THEY LET HIM MAKE ALL THE CHANGES IN GOVERNMENT AND THE ARMED FORCES
4 .WHY DID THEY SUPPORT HIM IN THE OPERATIONS IN BALUCHISTAN (THE OPEARTION THEY PRAISED ON 6TH SEPTEMBER)
5 .WHY DID THEY SUPPORT HIS DECISION TO SEND FORCES IN FATA
6. WHY DID THEY NOT FORCED HIM TO RESIGN WHEN HE WENT AGINST HIS DECISION TO TAKE HIS UNIFROM OFF
7. WHY DID THEY SUPPORT HIM IN CALLING IFTIKHAR CHOUDHRY TO THE ARMY HOUSE AND SLAPPING HIM
8. WHY DID THEY HELP HIM IN SUPPORTING THE LAL MASJID OPERATION
9 .WHY DID THEY HELP IN IMPLEMENTING EMERGENCY RULE
10 .WHY DID THEY NOT MAKE HIM RESIGN AFTER HIS PARTY LOST THE 18TH FEB ELECTIONS
11. WHY DID THEY GIVE HIM GUARD OF HONUR AFTER HE RESIGNED
12. WHY ON EARTH DID THEY LET HIM STAY IN THE ARMY HOUSE WHEN AT PRESENT HIS A NOBODY
13. WHY DON’T THEY BRING HIM TO COURT FOR THE CRIMES HE COMMITTED
14. WHY DO THEY STILL PROVIDE HIM WITH SECURITY AND LET HIM DO WHAT HE WANTS
Now theirs a few things:
Sajjad Thinks:
I think they let all the above happen because they were with him and they liked his policy, I think our army is not that dumn and coward that they whole army will be on one side and MUSHARRAF alone and still they listen to this guy for 9 years, and what I think is reality and the truth
Sheharyar’s (TOY SOLDIER) Thinking:
Now if you think the army hated him and still followed his above points for 9 years than the ARMY IS A COWARD BUNCH OF INDIVIDUALS(SPECIALLY U), THEY ARE HYPOCRITES, THEY ARE TOTALLY DUMMIES(LESS THAN U) THAT THEY WORKED ON THE ORDERS OF ONE MAN(MUSHARRAF) FOR 9 YEARS AND MORE…ACCORDING TO U THEY ARMY WHICH HAS 6 LAKH JAWANS HATED ONE MAN MUSHARRAF BUT STILL FOLLOWED HIS POLICY AND ORDERS FOR 9 YEARS…U HAVE REALLY LOST UR SENCES AND TOY SOLDIERS LIKE U ARE GIVING BAD NAME TO THE WHOLE ARMY..
DUMMY SOLDIERS LIKE YOU HAVE NO SAY IN THE ARMY, YOU’RE ON THE LOWER LEVEL WHO ARE USELESS, THEY CANT RAISE ANY ISSUES WHICH THEY DON’T LIKE INFRONT OF A GENERAL BUT INSTEAD WHILE THE REST OF THE ARMY IS BUSY FIGHTING IN WAZIRISTAN, DESERTERS LIKE U COME ON THE INTERNET AND TALK BULLSHIT…HAHAHA
SHEHARYAR WAKE UP DON’T BE A TOY SOLDIER ALL UR LIFE………PEOPLE LIKE U R THE WORSE WHO FOLLOW ORDERS FOR 9 YEARS AND THAN TALK AGAINST THE SAME ORDERS THEY FOLLOW FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES…..
I accept Musharraf handed over people to the US AND OTHER COUNTRIES he accepts it and i accept it, we also say that they were foreign nationals not Pakistanis, even AFIA is American national not Pakistan, but i would say its a mistake to give her over IF they did….
MUSHARRAF did not alone go and pick up a person and handover to the US the ISI done it the ARMY knows about it, so once again the ARMY, ISI are inolved togather with MUSHARRAF…But it was good to give away people not Pakistani nationals who were committing crimes in Pakistan and if we excahnged them for money than FINE,we’re a poor country why should we suffer from terrorists, spend money catching them and than hand them over for free..NO WAY..
You say you’re sick and tired of the economy success of MUSHARRAF…..
Dummy soldiers who don’t understand their army how the hell you will understand economy, go make tea for some general, understanding economy is not for you………
Probably you don’t know that SHAUKAT AZIZ left in November 2007, other than a few mismanagement issues like SECURING THE WHEAT SUPPLY WHICH ONLY HAPPENED IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS and the other issue of ELECTRICITY which I can give a lot of arguments for but will not as foot soldiers like you are called KHALI DAMAAGH will not understand……
ARE YOU BLIND TO SEE THAT AFTER SHAUKAT AZIZ LEFT IT’S NOW THAT:
STOCK EXCHANGES IS CRASHING, since this year 2008 until now it has come down from 17,000 points to 9000, do your research, don’t TALK SHIT
DURING SHAUKAT AZIZ AND MUSHARRAF PEOPLE WERE BRING MONEY INTO THE COUNTRY, BUT NOW THEIR WITHDRAWING
RESERVES HAVE FALLEN FROM 17BN TO 10BN (U THINK SHAULAT AZIZ AND MUSHARRAF IS TAKING IT AWAY, U R DUMN)
RUPEE STAYED AT 60 RUPEES to the dollar for the last 5 years but in the last 8 months it has weakened to 77 RUPEES TO EACH DOLLAR
SERIOUSLY ARE U TOO BLIND TO SEE THIS, IN THE ARMY DID U GET HIT BY A BULLET TO UR HEAD OR SOMETHING………..
People of Pakistan are uneducated which includes you, they don’t like change, they want to stay in the same old system which they now have after voting for it in the Feb 18th Elections..People don’t understand GDP, STOCK EXCHANGE, FOREIGN EXCHANGE RESERVES that’s why they don’t realise how much the economy improved under SHAUKAT AZIZ, it came from a bankrupt economy in 1999 to a stable and growing economy when SHAUKAT AZIZ LEFT IN NOVEMBER 2007 mistakes are made which Shaukat Aziz coming from a place like CITI BANK had to come into PAKISTANS economy where 50 years of mismanagement and corruption had to be fixed in a small period of time..
PEOPLE LIKE U SHEHARYAR ARE TOO BLIND TO SEE THE CRISIS PAKISTAN FACES NOW SINCE THE ELECTIONS, THE ECONOMY IS WORSENING BECAUSE OF THE POLITICAL AND INCOMPETENCE OF THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SHAUKAT AZIZ, SLOWLY PEOPLE ARE REALISING AND WILL REALISE AND ONE DAY WILL HAVE TO CALL SHAUKAT AZIZ BACK WHEN PAKISTAN IS ON THE BRINK OF BANKRUPCY AGAIN….
THERE’S SOMETHINGS WHICH YOU CANT EXPLAIN TO DUMN TOY SOLDIERS LIKE SHEHARYAR AND ARMY DESERTER, BUT ONLY TIME WILL TELL HOW GOOD SHAUKAT AZIZ AND MUSHARRAF WERE, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE ALREADY CHANGING THEIR MINDS AND SOON THE REST ILLITERATES WILL AS WELL….
DUMMY AND HYPOCRITE SOLDIER SHEHARYAR toy soldier THIS IS A WEBSITE OF A MUSHARRAF SUPPORTER AND FOLLOWER AND MUSHARRAFS SUPPORTERS WRITE HERE AND GIVE SOLUTIONS…
SHEHARYAR IF UR IN THE ARMY GO AND FIGHT IN WAZIRISTAN STOP DESERTING, SITTING AT HOME AND TALKING RUBBISH, IF YOU ARE GOING TO TALK NONSENSE THAN I SUGGEST THAT U SHOULD JOIN UR NO HOPERS AND HYPOCRITES LIKE THE EX-SERVICEMEN SOCIETY THEY WILL BE HAPPY TO HEAR UR BULLSHIT……
SO SHEHARYAR THE DUMMY SOLDIER EX-SERVICEMEN(HYPOCRITES,MORONS,BULLSHITTERS,BARKING DOGS) ARE CALLING U, THEY NEED ALL THE USELESS PEOPLE AROUND PLEASE JOIN THEM AS WE DON’T NEED DIRT AND RUBBISH LIKE YOU ON THIS RESPECTFUL WEBSITE…

I’m a senior proofreader with a renowned software company in Karachi. Marvi, this is indeed heartening to see the young, educated people like you coming into politics and breaking the notion that politics is only the patrimony of dirty feudals. What’s more encouraging is that you’re a London School of Economics graduate. Having seen your articulation and outspokenness in various talk shows, I was compelled to browse your website, which is, to put it bluntly, unnecessarily long with quite a few typos and editing/proofreading errors. The other thing which has dreadfully inspired me is your innocent face, your lovely voice, and your eloquence tinged at times by the childlike attitude of not easily conforming to the other person’s ideas.
September 28, 2008 at 3:25 am
Dear Marvi,
now seeing all these public comments i believe paki people are still in the process of blaming game.niether politicians nor the government or the so called minority of educated people in pakistan seem to look forward.we are still stuck in past.people will have to accept zardari as president which unfortunately has not been done.pakistan’s image outside is gettting worse day by day.
MEDIA-a form of communication lol
pakistani news channels -a form of critcism from both ends (government and oppostion)
we see the foreign channels like CNN,BBC and aljazeera who fully support their country in any means.however in pakistan news channels have always wanted a chance to criticize .
i have even heard and have got some evidence about some tv channel of pakistan who are american agents.
god knows well..
i would appreciate if u react on this comment and give me a response.also i appreciate for what u have done for foreign policies.
DONT U THINK THERE SHOULD BE A STRICT RULES & REGULATIONS FOR MEDIA BECAUSE PAKI PEOPLE DO NO DESERVE FREEDOM OR I THINK THEY DO NOT RESPECT PAKISTAN’S IMAGE THEY SEE THEIR BENIFITS
WITH PRAYS FOR PAKISTAN,

Shahryar give me a break ,Imran Khan’s insipiration in politics is Hamid Gul lol.Hamid Gul is a Jehadist who was actually working for AL-Qaeda before 9/11 and was the person who informed Bin Laden and co about a possible missile attack against them when Clinton chose to take them out.
Pakistan was meant to be a modern Islamic State yes and how modern is Imran Khan? who has defended every extremist in this country from Hamid Gul to Maulana Abdul Aziz.Did you know that the founder of this country Jinnah was a secular minded person who used to drink occasionally and was not too keen on getting too close with Mullahs of that time? ,just ask cowasjee whos dad was his friend.So if you want to insult Musharraf for drinking then you should go ahead and insult Jinnah too.
You mentioned Kargil and that we lost there ,well you may as well mention the other 2 wars, we did ‘t win there either so may be we should never have fought with India in any war.Winning a cricket match is not the same as winning in a war or in politics.what has Imran Khan achieved in politics?he has lost in all elections.
I do agree with you that accomdating PPP was a mistake by Musharraf,NRO was a mistake ,but it was not done so much for personal reasons by Musharraf if that was the case Musharraf would still be in power.The logic behind NRO was that there is a threat to the current set up of army and ISI from the Mullah brigade in pakistan and if the secular forces like PPP and MQM weaken politically then Mullahs will directly benefit from it…thats something that the current set up of the army led by General Kiani whos also secular minded can not afford.But I dis-agree with that on the ground that army should not be worried about democracy or democractic forces in Pakistan in the first place since politics and politicians in Pakistan have been more of a problem than a solution.

Msg from Zohair with my response to him too – from gmail
————-
Yesterday’s presidential debate showed out a clear divide in policy stance towards Pakistan. Mcain being more understandable of Pakistan’s problems than Obama (“gorgeous” Sarah Palin might have had something to doJ). To my knowledge Pres. Zardari has not had any meeting so far with democratic presidential or vice presidential candidate. I think it would have been wise on his part to have a meeting with Obama or atleast his running mate. He should have conveyed Pakistan’s reservations over Obama’s policy stance before he takes the big seat which seems to be the probable eventuality judging by the recent surveys. I don’t know whether they tried hard enough or not but its something that should have been done.
Hope you raise the issue.

zohair

Hello Ms Marvi,
It Is a privilege to writing an email to you and I must congrats you for setting up an un presented history in our country as far as our politics is concerned by establishing a direct contact with the people of Pakistan through creating your own web site. This is something new and I must say very bold step too & I wish you all the best of luck in this regard. I am very hopeful that other politicians will take example and lead from you and they will also try to establish contact with the masses through web sites and emails.
Having said all this I would like to draw your kind attention towards the growing problem of traffic which is like other problems that our country is facing such as terrorism, water scarcity, high prices, pollution and unemployment to name a few growing into menace. I am quoting from internet source a story which appeared in the newspaper that, ” traffic jams in Karachi have claimed around 500 lives, in just two months, as ambulances could not find way to the city hospitals, due to choked roads” many more such stories can be quoted here. A study done by the World Resources Institute in 1996-1997 estimated that the economic penalty of traffic jams in large cities can exceed hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Not to be left unsaid, traffic jams are also linked to increased road rage and overall agitation/aggression/hypertension in societies, this also I quoted from internet.
The purpose of quoting these stories to you Ms is that we can pinpoint many problems to this menace such as overpopulation, mismanagement, road constructions, vendor encroachments, unlawful parking, frequent & illegal bus stops, sewage spills, lack of rain water drainage, security for VIPs, lack of civic sense etc. no doubt these problems creating or contributing to traffic problems but I want to highlight another problem which is not highlighted due to lack of awareness or because of some vested interest. Banking sector also playing its due share in aggravating this problem and they are directly involved in this menace. By introducing attractive car schemes all over the Pakistan some 7 to 8 years back and giving away vehicles on a cheap installments or on a on a very low interest rates at least initial phase of their scheme they opened the flood gates for the masses and apart from those who really needed vehicles for their personal use other took for commercial purposes i.e. rented out to hotels, guest houses, friends, relatives, NGOs etc. Needless to say that though govt and banks have started the scheme on a good note but like all other schemes people have missed the scheme to their personal motives such as to earn more profit rather then to use for their personal consumption. For this they got full support from banking staff especially from insurance department. Insurance department with the help of other bank staff, car owners, surveyors (they inspect the accidental cars) can declare partial accidental vehicles as” total loss” and later on they sell such vehicles on a profitable bases. Similar goes to theft vehicles as car owners in some cases longed false FIR regarding lost of their vehicles from places like parking, out side of the home, markets etc and again with the help insurance people and of course don’t forget police they get new car in replacement from the from same banks and earned profit by selling the theft car. In all this process banking staff especially insurance department gets handsome commission. And don’t forget who ever does this I meant customers they are professionals in nature ( such as upper class, industrialist, traders, landlords, running private businesses etc) and they do such tricks not with one bank but they do with other banks from where they already leased/financed their vehicles or they can. Salaried class normally does not involve in such crimes. I would say they commit crime and because of their ill motive we masses suffering in case traffic jams, pollution etc. This vicious cycle continues. What fact I am trying to establish here is that banking sector not only giving away new cars to its customers but they also involved in unhealthy practices which I just explained to you.
All I am trying to say is that banking sector is playing their due share in aggravating traffic problem and for this reason such schemes should be stopped immediately otherwise it will be too late. We do not need to go too far to find the example of such failure by looking at our neighboring country china. In the past China had tried this failed experiment by allowing its commercial banks to give vehicles to customers and later on when it can not sustained the traffic pressure which aggravated rapidly especially after introducing this scheme. The govt of that time had to abandon this scheme. The bottom line is that banking sector contributing little like empowering customers to buy vehicles on leased or finance basis but aggravating the situation more. Such schemes should not be allowed especially at social cost so it should be stopped at once. Otherwise if that was any good for society as a whole we would have found such examples In Europe or in USA. With no planning in place, no mass transit system in sight, there is little hope of solution in the near future.
I hope you will take up this issue too and will highlight in appropriate forums especially in parliament.
In the end I would like to take the opportunity and would like to tell you that I have great passion and interest in research especially related to social problems such as poverty, population, education, literacy etc. Ms if you have any such projects and you think I can contribute something I would be more than happy to contribute in such projects. At the moment I am here in Saudi Arabia and if some how you think I can be part of any your on going project I can come back to Pakistan and for the time I can work without any salary. I always love to live and serve my country but I could not get a decent job back in Pakistan therefore I had to come Saudi Arabia.
With this I am attaching my CV for your consideration.
I hope you will not mind my long email and I would really appreciate if you answer my email privately meant answer me on my this email I would be extremely thankful to you.
Thanks for you time and consideration.
Shoaib from Saudi Arabia.

@ Dear Marvi Memon
Could you please comment on the above story and RM?
Rehman Malik Nominated for Peace Award
Immediately After Rehman Malik failed yet again to protect innocent lives, he is nominated for The International Peace Award. This is SICK JOKE on all Pakistanis and we CONDEMN this in the highest tenor. This disgusting joke on Pakistan must be condemned and exposed. This is analogous to nominating Bush for the Noble Peace Prize or Zardari for the International Morality Prize and is rubbing salt on the fresh wounds of the victims of the Marriot Blast.
If anyone deserves to receive this award it is Sattar Edhi and not Rehman “Double Agent” Malik who has yet to provide security to Pakistanis and could not even protect Benazir even when her rally the day before was hit by a suicide bomber.
I can’t believe a crook like Rehman Malik is even considered. This not a joke????
but a slap on the face of ALL Pakistanis!
What “The International Human Rights Commission (IHRC)” has done is exposing themselves as a political organization working for vested interest against Pakistan and not for human rights. Shame on IHRC and RM.

sajjad you sick minded liberal fascists..you are a actually the disease that is eating this country apart..you like to sit in your drawing rooms and sip whiskey, thats why musharraf suits you..you brainless whinner..if army was so much behind that dummy soldier of yours musharraf(who surrendered to a measley secretary o state) than mr know it all why were army and service personnel involved in all the assassination attempts on his life…you are full of shit man…you know nothing…you probably wish that you were born a white but since you are not so you go for the next best thing, enlightened(brainless)moderate(atheist)brown..engineered by musharraf…go and bark as much as you can but the fact remains that the army is much happy without this creep…and for your info stupid man they are not following his policies any more..they are now firing back and kiani has threatned to fire back..did musharraf do that ..no you libo(as in liberal retard)he allowed them to venture on our land …but that does noit matter to useless lot like you..yeah i am uneducated and you are the educated lot..thats why living in uk…and i am here serving my country ..tch tch you opted for all your luxury and now lecturing us about patriotism…go and ….yourself…you are the most useless of all lots…even Q league accepts shaukat aziz was corrupt..have you haerd of stell mills fiasco and centaurus..no bcos you were busy seeing musharraf doing mujras in musical evenings…i recognise you..you make not even 0.5 % of pakistan and you try to pose like the majority…you are one of those dumb people who think that a billionaire banker would be your solution..i pitty dumbos like you…try someday to talk when you are sober and not in high spirits like your disgraced leader musharraf…you are someone who is dumb enough to think that NRO was for the good of the country…you know what people like should be banned from coming back..stay there with you true ancestors..you mr brown…you are someone who really supports a monster liuke musharraf despite all his wrongdoings, bcos he suits libo shits like you…all the booze, sleaze suits you…go and first ask your dear foreign minister kasuri who has accepted that they allowed us the airstrikes…the day is very near when libos like you and salman taseer(a political clown)zardari and musharraf would be thrown out..this country will revert back to its roots..(modern islamic state) and sink your secularism in the arabian sea…till that time i hope and pray you stay in uk bcos we can not afford brainless libo like you…
PS: you started the war of the words , i just wish it remained on a decent level but you are the one who started it…
September 28, 2008 at 5:52 pm
mr ali sid,
well its a whole lot better talking with you than sajjad the reatrd.neways well you have your own opinion and i respect it but the truth is that even quaid-e-azam did not ask this country in the name of secularism..what was the common slogan in those days..pakistan ka matlab kia …la ilaaha illalaa…quaid azam always mentioned muslims and islam in his speeches..why do you think we needed pakistan if it was meant to be secular…if we had to be secular than we should have stayed with india…and if jinnah was a drinker than i can not support him just bcos he was quaid-e-azam..he was wrong if he did drink and ate pork(stanley wolpert says so)…jinnah did not single handedly secure this country..millions died and they all believed that this country would be a modern islamic state…so if jinnah thought secularism is the solution after pak came into being..it was his own idea..you can not enforce it on us…fact remains pak was sought in the name of islam…
come on an educated man like you believes that NRO was in the interest of this country…it was his own personal agenda and what happened was expected..ppp can not be trusted and the day they secured popular support they ousted mush…as you sow so shall you reap…thanks
September 28, 2008 at 9:25 pm
Dear Marvi
Unfortunately we Pakistani are unsecured in our home…………..we are not immune from our enemy and even don’t know who is our enemy
One Hadeeth say: The Government is the reflection of the people or your leader be the worst amongst you”.
Live and Real Example is Current President Of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari
Zardari is the nightmare of Pakistan,
What a shame is this, a person who did not have any decent educational capabilities, who is notorious, who has let murdered his own wife to get the ultimate power is going to lead my country. I feel very ashamed.
I agree that the worst consequences now Pakistan is going to face after having Zardari as president.. PPP won only because of Ms Bhutto .He took sympathy vote… its a plotting…! he didn’t mentioned for once that he will find out the killer of his wife who took away mother from his children s.
Regarding War Against Terror
The West & particularly America, leave Pakistan Tribal Areas & Afghanistan alone!!! The history is elaborating you without any ambiguity that since the Mighty King Alexander, Conqueror of the World i.e. British Rulers, So called super power of 80s & 90s Soviet Union couldn’t take over this particular areas/country thus neither will the United States of America! Because in these areas nature of people strongly believe in REVENGE in BRUTAL MANNER, therefore, these Northern Areas of Pakistan & Afghanistan are unconquerable!!! Everybody knows that America will lose the war on terrorism in IRAQ & right now at Pakistan & Afghanistan!!! According to the West theory they were stupid enough to supply the rebels weapons they used against the Soviets and now they are being used against their own by the rebels!!! However if anyone can conquer Afghanistan. According to our/Muslim Ummah religious believe soon you will see the Armies of IMAM MAHDI emerge from Afghanistan and they will erect their flags in Jerusalem, on their way to Palestine they will slaughter anyone that comes in their way in such manner that history never has seen.
May ALLAH BLESS those displace People lets hope for the best.

Once again stsements like save our last destiny, you mentioned as Pakistan, where were you and PMl-Q when Mushi was sighning deals like allowed to attack our land. Isnt that the proper time to feel that more. Secondly, govt. of PPP is juts because of Musharaf, if he wont sign a deal with PPP like NRO, these PPP leaders have not enough courage to come back and face the deals.
Secondly, about your feelings of pattriotisim, ok they are very good when we read them, but where were you and your father(Ex-Govt Official) when the Buss diver of Dosti express was fired, only because he take the buss safely to pakistani lands, in the time when Shiv Senes were planning to burn it off.
Secondly, supporting MQM which is actually an ethnic party, and major cause for imbalancing in sindh.
Again, be pure and Provide facts which are logical, I think so Pakistan should be run by opposition, because whenever anybody comes in opposition they start talking Patriotic. PML-Q and Mushi has Govern the country for 5 and 9 yrs respectivly and lead us to Hell.

Marvi, I would love to help you as this is what I’ve done throughout my 29-year-old life! Right now, though, all I can do is to give you some sincere advice. First off, all you have to do is hire a professional writer to work on your website, maybe from a prestigious newspaper or magazine, who is good at both writing and proofreading/editing. Better yet, since you do not seem to have any financial hiccups courtesy to your prosperous family background, I would strongly suggest you also hire a competent proofreader with a natural flair to criticize and pinpoint even the minutest of the errors (please don’t go for qualifications such as master’s in English literature or linguistics; rather go for his/her talent, capability and interest in this field). Also, please do something to at least give your front page a decent, professional look. My mobile no is: 0322-3597760. Looking forward to continuously helping you in this regard.

Ms. Marvi Memon you really have a very charishmatic personality and i always watch your talk show regularly whenever it is Telecast on any News Channel. I have seen the potential in you that you can really work a lot for the betterment of the country because you have confidence , ability to face the challenges but personally speaking i suggest you that you must change your from Pakistan Muslim League (Q) to any other party or if you really want to know which party you may join u can email me and contact me anytime through my email. Because PML-Q has lost their fame in public. and this is your starting of your Political carrier so plz join the good party because its not suits you to defend loosers. You deserve the best.

well ali sid,
you are right that winnin g a cricket match is different than winning a war…but fighting a war is also different than running a country..the problem is tht we never let the system to filter out elements like zardari and nawaz…whenever a dictator has an urge for power he just tells the people tht pak is go ing d ow n and we welcome him…dont you think tht vote shud do the talking..nth would happen to th is country…for 60 years corrupt politicians are eating this country but it hasn t fallen apart ..we must let the system to sustain and filter out dirt….

Bismillah-He-Rehman Ne-Raheem
Asalam-0-Alikum,
I was doing research on Mr. Asif Ali Zardari after his flirty event with Miss Sarah Palin. Our Honorable President was seemingly a little bit too un-Presidential [?]. During the customary greetings between the two leaders, Zardari called Palin “gorgeous” and later even offered “to hug” the Alaskan Governor.
Ref: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZgaPl3YOgs
I found something that was also related to Mr. Zardari that shocked me a bit. Its clear that he is mentally ill.The Financial Times reports that Asif Ali Zardari “was suffering from severe psychiatric problems as recently as last year, according to court documents filed by his doctors.”

I hope this is the right place to share, if not please direct me.

After improvising that solution u discus in parliament and informed your shadow cabinet (also called it shadow parliament) what question u ask in parliament and what is government point of view.

No DOuT that u r a beautiful and intelligent politician, but it is very sad to see that u r working for and a part of dictatorship, who destroyed the whole democratic istitutions of Pakistan, specially Judiciary, which is the sole of democracy. Politics apart, you shold think that u r working with a group of traitors who are trepaning theirselves for their selfish interest.
Use ur abilities in the interest of the nation, and plz be a part of any democratic party, not of a Dictatorship.
I hope u will think about Pakistan and will leave to defend the traitors of Pakistan specially bloddy Musharraf.

”
Dear Madam,
Can you please comment on post # 197 by Zainab?
Is there anything you can do to help her Ma’am?
Thanks,
Shahid”
REPLY:
I read Miss Zainab’s post and i respect her rights but Mr. Shahid it is a fact without proof we cannot blame anyone. For example if i have any personal problem with someone i can make a fake post like this and write a fake story about someone. Please do not take me in wrong sense i do not mean that Miss Zainab is lying in anyway. I just want to say she should have taken some picture i.e “Graphical Proof” or recorded what the driver said i.e “Audio Proof”. In these situations its really hard to think but for the future please be careful.
Not in the world but in the life after inshAllah she will get her reward for being a patient woman. But in this world there is no adil shahid(Vitness) or proof.
I hope this answers your question.

Dear Ms Marvi,
Salam
I live in Bahrain and have been watching you on various programs and very impressed by your personality and reasoning.
I am writing to you with a great concern that this morning I heard the news that Punjab government is abolishing the Local Government System.
From my understanding of the political systems and international practices, now I can safely say that this country will breakdown, and the people will be enslaved, because they do not even know their own rights. The do not deserve independence, because they do not know how to excercise self government. To keep my message short, I very painfully urge you to start a campaign across Pakistan, involving all the Nazims and city government officials of Pakistan to protect the system. I can provide you with volumes on the benefits of local government system. I couldn’t get the email address of Mr. Mubashir Lucman, whom I belive that if he understands, he will give full medis support to this cause.
There will be no Pakistan if we do not have a fully functional, independent local government system.
The enemies of Pakistan wants to destroy this.
The Local Government system is the core of democratic practices, and complies with the basic definition of democracy i.e. of the people, by the people and for the people.
In democratic system of govt. the common man is involved in decision making to run their localities through the local governments. Local government system is an essential arm of the government hierarchy similar to the federal and provincial governments, and is practiced by all the successful nations. As you can’t abolish the federal or provincial governments because these are mismanaged or corrupt, you can’t abolish the local governments as well on these grounds.
The benefits of the systen can be indicated by the fact that the development of the 7 years of Local government is more than the combined developments of the last 50 years. And this is with the limited powers with them, and the nazims are still going through the learning process.
The reason for failure of Pakistan is the absence and denial of this arm of the government for the last 50 years. Volumes can be written about the benefits of local govt. The people, intellectuals and even honest politicians do not seem to be aware of this mandatory requirement for running of democratic system, due to which we are failing for the last 60 years.
The politicians are up against the local government system, and want to clip its powers because concentration of power and money is transferred from the federal and provincial capitals to the Local Governments. I urge the people to defend this system in the same way as the lawyers have been defending their independence, because Local government is OUR empowerment. If we do not know this basic fact, then as a nation, we donot deserve to be independent.
The reason our nation has been limping since the beginning is because this essential arm of the government has been missing, and when it was set up, due to the opposition of politicians who wants to retain power in their hands, many of its essential elements were removed. Not only that we should defend what we have, but also try to restore the powers which were originally there in the plan.

Dear MM ,
I have gone through it , its brilliant idea , GEO TV does not have anything regarding One 2 One with Youth , other channels do have such programs but young lad does not find it very interesting to go for them as GEO has its own audience ………I would like to take on INFORMATION MINISTRY OR IT & TELECOM whichever you think is good , since I am myself in IT&Telecom I can do that , or I also feel extremely confident to represent anyone of us on TV or anywhere …….
We should introduce an idea of MANIFESTO COMPLIANCE RATINGS ………….
After elections , whoever wins , losses ,is in govt or in opposition , media rather then only doing than TALKING should show more of CHARTS , AV Aids to show people if their parties have committed 100 things in MANIFESTO or MANSHOOR , how much of it has been complied , how much not and why …………based on this govt , opposition everyone should be rated , also …………Graphs of MNA’s performance should be issued , who sleeps in Parliament , who is always absent etc….so people of their own constituencies can come to know if their MNA , MPA is just enjoying on their Votes or is talking about any issue……GEO or any channel should have such a program ………….and we as SHADOW CABINET can run that program , collect information and bring it ON AIR.

With reference to Mr Qambar Raza’s post, all I would like to say is that the next time some female from his family gets beaten up or even sexually harassed, he should ask her for proof. Oh and yes, make sure you get physical evidence for the torture marks too (in case of a rape).
Sadistic thinking of Pakistanis..! Sick!
September 30, 2008 at 11:45 am
yeah i am here liberal retard sajjad from uk,
better stay there because we dont have space for useless lot you and other musharraf supporters and frankly we can not afford it…its a relief that this incompetent man musharraf is off army’s back..and our new chief has the guts to look us in the eyes and fire back…so they are not following that cowards policies..the ir refusal to support that man tells how much we stand behind him …as for the handi ng over of people to us for money..well only a libo like you who supports a dictator can support the act of labeling people without trial as criminals…you are a disease…stay back in uk with your ancestors..we dont need you…and marvi if you dont have the guts to allow anti musharraf comments on your forum then plz stop this drama…my reply to this retard sajjad is awating moderation since last 2 days…
September 30, 2008 at 11:58 am
yes brother ramiz i agree with you..making shadow cabinets and firey speeches on tv channels is not what matters..where were you miss marvi when this troupe of clowns (aka Q league) was in power…did you do anything…no..and you stand behind musharraf becuase he let you in the power corridors..you are not even elected
….we are not fools to believe that people like shaukat aziz and you would solve our problems…
September 30, 2008 at 12:09 pm
dear marvi memon.it is a matter of great disappointment that educated people like you support a dictator.even you experience of studying abroad has not taught you that dictators and despots can never take nations ahead.your dictator was no different. he was obsessed with power and did everything he could to stay in power.if someone believes that 60 odd judges fired were all corrupt and musharaf was not then i can only feel sympathy for that soul.look at you.you show so much passion and still sidin g with Q-league.you really have some confidence
September 30, 2008 at 1:44 pm
dear marvi your forum is infested with sensless emotional geeks like sajjad.he definitley does not understand the intricacies of politics.i bet he is a young lad who is impressed with mushy’s “wonderland ” of ideas.former president musharraf has done nothing but harm this nation. he has weakened institutions.just because of him the army has lost its respect in public eye.judiciary is the least trusted institute and is at its lowest ebb.maybe you should create a parllel forum for kids like sajjad.
September 30, 2008 at 2:54 pm
AoA,
After watching a talk show on Express TV I visited your website and I was amazed that a MNA is mantaining a website. I would not talk about your political affiliations but me being an IT/GIS professional I am really impressed. Please keep it up.

Salam0alikum,
I’m a 22 year old student frm lahore, and i have watched you in various talk shows on TV and i admire your POV over various different dimensions. Now i think we are quite aware of what our concerns are;Its high time that we move to settle those down. The problem is that we all knw wt our problems are.. but we jst dont intend to solve it. Our government (so called ours) is doing blunders and evn those are intentional. How a country will progress under the ruthless robber like zardari or may i say mr. 10% might become a mr. 30%?? its not jst it… its an ever growing curse… Its worse that our people vote for the exect same person again.. i pity our nation; They cast a favour vote over their own death sentence! (the legacy continues…)
My question: Is there a way that we survive all this time? What now for pakistan under his regime?
September 30, 2008 at 3:19 pm
Hi its kashif amir i am a student in uet lahore faisalabad campus i hardly have time to listen to any tv program a few months back i saw you on geo tv(capital talk)when i listened you i was stunned i must ask where were you before…… your views are marvelous and clear but one thing is this you are In a worng party you should not be in Q league infact there is no such party for you to get fit.well
I MUST SAY MARVI GOOD VERY GOOD KEEP IT UP.
YOU ARE TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOD
September 30, 2008 at 3:32 pm
Freedom of speech is great but when Sheharyar starts using his freedom to abuse other members of this forum (including Sajjad) then I will not allow filth against anyone including Quaid to be shown on my website. Thus those posts of his were not shown. I suggest everyone use this forum for solutions on how to save Pakistan from the mess rather than shout foul language at each other. Thankyou.
September 30, 2008 at 3:49 pm
thanks a lot marvi for waking up,
i guess you only read those posts with critic that are against your exalted leader.if you could just bother yourself to read that retard sajjad’s posts you would understand the reason i wrote those posts.i absolutley had no intentions of using that kind of language but when you call others names without provocation then be ready for a stinging attack..here is what your dear friend sajjad wrote while concluding his post
“SO SHEHARYAR THE DUMMY SOLDIER EX-SERVICEMEN(HYPOCRITES,MORONS,BULLSHITTERS,BARKING DOGS) ARE CALLING U, THEY NEED ALL THE USELESS PEOPLE AROUND PLEASE JOIN THEM AS WE DON’T NEED DIRT AND RUBBISH LIKE YOU ON THIS RESPECTFUL WEBSITE…” if you think this is worth your approval then i am sorry you are not what you pose as…and as far as your point of writing against quaid is concerned all i said was i could not approve of drinking just because he did so..if you are so loyal to him then you should have deleted ali sid’s remarks that where he says that quaid was an occasional drinker..and if you are so concerned about quaid then you should confiscate copies of “jinnah of pakistan” by stanley wolpert…this book is distributed by army book club and paf book club…but no why would you..you would only take this opportunity to score some points…
September 30, 2008 at 3:57 pm
hi marvi memon.you are doing a good job. keep up the good work.you see i have witnessed sajad and sheryar’s fight on the forum for last few days.this is immature.i have not read sheryar’s replies to sajad as you have blocked them but since sajad’s are not blocked so i can see that even he has not been very decent in his choice of words.if sheryar has used abusive language then that is very wrong, but from what we see on the forum he was provoked by sajad.i myself support musharaf but if some one does not then please do not provoke him.sajad has used very immature approach and if we use such tactics we would never be able to convince people of musharaf’s achievements.
September 30, 2008 at 4:02 pm
way to go brother sheharyar,
i am also from army and i second you. we are very happy that musharaf has been thrown out of our exalted institution and we are doing very good without him..keep shut sajjad..you dont seem to know anyhting about pak
September 30, 2008 at 4:10 pm
I am deeply concerned about my country’s situation and no matter what people in power say , media and all other major power players are trying to rip my country a apart. Well i wont let this happen and wont let highschool pass MNAs and MPAs.
No Goverment cant do anything, infact all they can do is take loan on interest and make it more worse.Untill we as a nation make some radical changes of our characters.
And please never bad mouth about army, or any president from army, no one can match there educational, physical qualification
Its better to have educated ppl in power
September 30, 2008 at 4:24 pm
miss maarvi meman please stop acting as a saviour of this nation.you are trying to project yourself like a crusader agaisnt all the ills of the society, but the charity begins at home.you never said all these things when your party was ruling.my take is that you are just over ambitious and PML(Q)is the only party that gives you the kind of importance you are seeking.if you were in PPP or nawaz league you would have been a back bencher.if you are really the crusader you are acting as then please clarify your position on above named issues.thanks
September 30, 2008 at 4:26 pm
hi marvi,
you look good in all the talk shows you attend. but please leave Q-league and stop supporting general musharaf.take care
September 30, 2008 at 4:45 pm
On Zainab’s post:
I have committed to take it up in parliament and on talkshows. It is a serious issue and she doesnt require to give me tape recordings!
On the brawl in progres:
I have posted quite a bit..no more pls…Gentlemen — solutions pls.. Time out on this brawl – everyone has said what they had to say – move on pls.
Msg for Amnah:
each one of us needs to be a crusader to save Pak. I speak on those issues which bother me. I clarify my position everyday in my diary, far more than any other parliamentarian chooses to do with you!
September 30, 2008 at 5:01 pm
well you have not clarified your support for kings party. you are just beating about the bush madam. and yes if you have publicly snubbed sheheryar then dont just keep quiet on his point of view. i think this website needs to get rid of people like sajjad who is almost sealed for any views against his own and you seem to support his ideas as all his immature and senseless posts are allowed to be posted on this forum.so much for your heroics.
September 30, 2008 at 5:15 pm
hey thanks a lot wajeeh. thanks for your support.well i assure you that i had no intentions of using abusive language but this liberal retard sajjad pushed me. this man has no respect for others point of view and in his post he clearly calls army’s elite infantry corps as “khali dimag” and still his post is considered suitable for viewing. you can see for yourself he has used indecent words all the way in his post but marvi did not bother to block his post becuase he was writing in support of her dear musharraf but since i dont so my posts are indecent.she says she wont let any post against quaid be posted on her website. then why did she not block ali sid’s post that says quaid was an occasional drinker. but i only quoted an auhtor whose book is distributed in the officers of armed forces and she says i am wrong. well tell me would you approve of drinking if you are told that father of nation did so.i guess no because we cant.our religion and teachings of holy Prophet (pbuh) come first.we have to set our priorities straight. but people like marvi are only trying to score points and have no intentions of any good.if she really cared for pak she would not have supported a looser party like q league and supported a military dictator. she obviously has a hidden agenda like musharraf. LUST FOR POWER
September 30, 2008 at 5:24 pm
wow marvi has actually moderated my earlier posts..good politics marvi just like your mentor musharraf..he closed down all the channels and then opened them when it suited him..good going.you are only showing this world how dual you are.thanks though my posts would vindicate my position.
September 30, 2008 at 5:36 pm
SALAM MARWI, HOPE YOU KEEP ON DOING YOUR GOOD WORK YOU ARE A GOOD HOPE FOR THE PEOPLE OF PAKISTAN PLS HELP THEM, THE WAY YOU YOU ARE DOING TO MAKE THEM AWAKEN I REALLY PRAY FOR YOU ,BUT PLEASE BRING THIS SUBJECT ABOUT THE AFGHANI MAHAJER SINCE AFGHANISTAN IS OK WHY AND WHY ALL THOSE AFGHAN PEOPLE IS STILL IN PAKISTAN AT LEAST OUR 40% PROBLEM WILL B OK IF ALL TOHOSE GO BACK ,SO PLS TAKE THIS ISSUE IN TO THE PARLIMENT AND HAPPY EID MUBARAK , KHALID

A must read :
http://www.pak-times.com/2008/09/11/pakistan-govt-borrowing-swells-to-rs58bn/
A must read about what this government is doing ,its borrowing from the state bank has increased dramatically when it promised the sbp that it won’nt borrow and that too at a time when Inflation in Pakistan is at 30%.I mean how could anyone trust these corrupt parasites given their past record?.Once a thief and always a thief.Where is this money going?
may be its going overseas so that Bilawal can buy his girl friend a diamond ring.Is this who you people wanted to replace Musharraf?
Also the loan they have received from the ADB all of it is going to be used to retire debt of sbp.
Just read!
Business Recorder:
According to reliable sources the full amount of $500 million (Rs 39 billion) will be utilised to retire the SBP debt. Government had committed not to borrow from SBP after July 1st, 2008 and retire Rs 22 billion of existing borrowing by 30th September 2008. Contrary to the commitment over Rs 160 billion were borrowed during the first seven weeks of the first quarter. With last date for tax return extended to October 31st, it would be difficult for the government to meet its commitment.

In life there will always be those who will trust your sincerity and those who will scorn it. If one believes in one self one should ignore those who distract from mission and encourage those who are part of your mission. The mission I have proposed is a positive one. Help save Pakistan.
Anyway, its Eid, and I hope that those who have called me warrior like will understand why I feel so strongly about asking for solutions at this critical juncture of Pakistan’s history. I am sorry if I get extra emotional and look angry. But I am angry and I cant hide it. I am angry because I see niyaat issues in governance/ I see sell outs on our core policies.
Thats why I started the solution route so that all of us engage in positive direction. I want to write articles about your solutions quoting all of you who give solutions. I hope you will give your feedback in such a way that its easy for me to project your positive thoughts. And I also want to talk about them quoting you all in talkshows and in parliament. Put the thoughts in such a format that its easy for me to project.
I dont want to wait for parliament to raise Zainab’s issue. Lets try and put it in print before parliament starts. Give me more VIP type issues we still face in Pakistan. Lets have a piece dedicated to this. Solutions not just the issue.
Thankyou
MM
October 1, 2008 at 5:13 pm
well here we have a so called warrior who is creating shadow ministries and not missing any oppurtunity to attend talk show in every nook and corner…over exposure is bad marvi..sincere advice why dont you follow imran khan..the man has opened up a university in mianwali and affiliated it with bradford university..thats practical bravado..what you are doing is something that anyone can do..talk shows, shadow cabinets, emotional speeches is something we have had enough of.. people on your forum ridicule him but the man is actually spending millions on poor people in shaukat khanum and now education and he has practically showed his devotion for the country..please follow his steps and join him instead of a party whose president is himself not elected by people..had it been some western country shujaat would have resigned from his presidentship..how can a man lead from outside the parliament..same goes for nawaz shariff….your party actually supported a non elected person like shaukat aziz to become prime minister..can i ask you why did you not tell musharraf to appoint shujaat as prime minister..well i guess he was in no mood to listen..and since musharraf is retired why dont you ask him to lead your party..after all you followed him like a leader for 5 years…haan?…makes sense to me
October 1, 2008 at 5:29 pm
well sheharyar i guess your point is bought by marvi and she has allowed your posts.so now kill it man.chill….lets be constructive in our critiisism and praise both.i respect your opinion and you seem to be an educated guy. not all mushraf supporters are like sajjad.we have the patience to listen and i respect you for the fact that you are a soldier and if sajjad has called army guys khaali dimaagh then this is rude and i resent it. our armed forces are our heroes and i would request marvi to snub such remarks there are then. so please man chill and participate in all constructive activities.may be marvi can assign you the defence ministry.what do you say marvi.adios

October 2, 2008 at 1:53 am
As Salam Alikum
I am student of NED University of Engineering and Technology and inshaAllah ill be completing my bachelors in Computer Systms this year.
I felt that as a Pakistani , it is my duty to post in this forum ( although i am having my examinations and i dun have time )
Miss Marvi , your idea is very good and innovative. You are one of the very few educated member of our NA.I hope and pray that you will very soon come up with some practical steps.
Now some ADVICES and Suggestions :
1)Add a weekly poll to your website.
2)Put some questions on your site that you need solutions on so that people over here can be more specific.
3)Some hundreds of people sitting in the two houses and the provincial parliaments cant change the fate of the entire Nation.
And parliament is not the only place from where you can take beneficial measure for the Pakistani people. I strongly believe that we need people like Abdus Sattar Eidhi(May Allah give him ling life and strength to keep working like this).Every Pakistani has to take responsibility and opt a role for himself how he can save his country.People reading this post should better examine their own acts what they are doing and what they can do
So if you sincerely want to work for the people , i advice you to be a social worker rather than being a parliamentarian.
4)i also believe that democracy is successful if the people who are casting votes are sensible enough to know the importance of their vote. Here education plays and important role.
5)We have been commenting for year that our literacy rate needs to improve.Yes it should definitely improve. But the educational standards should also improve. We need to have more practical knowledge in our curriculum. We need to revise the course curriculum more often. The examination and testing methods needs to be improved.The standard of government schools and colleges is poor.
Now comes the question , HOW?
(i)First of all the people there is no check and balance on the staff sitting in the Matric and Intermediate Board Offices.Just go and visit those places and you will know that in an educational institution the most illiterate people are sitting (sorry to say).
(ii)All the work over there is done on papers and they file them.(what a pity!).The entire system should be computerized.Databases should be implemented.(Allah na kare if due to any accident those piles of files are burnt or ruined then what will happen.)
(iii)The govt. schools should renovated and there should be a check on the staff and teachers there.
(iv)Now the issue is that the govt. doesnt have that much of money to spend (as they say !)so why not bring some companies to step in . Start an education program “Para Likha Pakistan”
and ask some companies and all those who are interested to step in and help the govt. out . I am sure and i know a few companies who would be eager to work on this project for their fame and publicity. (I myself as the President of one the biggest IT event of Pakistan “TechELITE” have worked on project of this kind, and companies are very eager to spend money on such projects).
Like Brother Sheharyar gave example of Imran Khan , he has already started two GIANT projects ( What ever he may be good/bad but he has worked for his nation )
So why can you people come up with some projects of such kind.
I know that the issues that i have raised over here is not a new information for you and the rest of the Pakistanis.
So Ms. Marvi please take some practical measures , be a social worker.
I also know that this might not be the right time to speak on these issues as we are facing greater problems
Request to all the Karachites :
If you are a true Pakistani and want to do something for Pakistan, join the CDGK ownership program “We own Karachi”
Stand up and deliver , we have already had enough words , its time to implement the ideas as
“The ideas are important but nothing without implementation”
I might not be able to answer or comment as i am having my exams form 6th OCT – 15 Nov
May Allah bless us with true faith and unite us.
And always be proud to be a Muslim and a Pakistani
A true patriot

I agree with that writing about any topic is vary healthy and positive activity but why people write those people whom don’t series there problem. My suggestion is maam u have vary strong people flow ship why u not providing them leadership to people want new leadership like u (Mustafa kamal, Ammir liaqut, shazad ray oand other) .
I am not saying u other people u leave Q league its depend u when u thing better leave so u can. My point of view is you should star meeting the people who want meet & listen u not a Q league leader but as pioneer of shadow cabinet u can arrange any conference or seminar where u contact them. only relationship with web not very strong and use full. You have the quality of good communication u make them understand what is good & what’s wrong.

October 2, 2008 at 4:57 am
lol no wajeeha all musharraf supporters should be like sajjad..sajjad zindabad ..come bite us.
coming back to solutions..i think we need to expose the corruption of this govt if theres corruption happening ..so talk to the people in the govt who you are close to and find out what they are saying or just keep your eyes open to how the govt is spending money …corruption is not an issue in our poitics remember .. it must be made an issue! especially now that mr 10% has come into power.even our maulvis are going corrupt now …that moon sighting was a fraud.
October 2, 2008 at 5:22 am
I take all your advices very seriously. I have reduced by half my TV talkshows this month.. compared to August. I will also try and be less angry on TV! In the meantime you are right about social work. You are also right about picking and prioritizing the right balance between individual injustices and policy issues. Thankyou for writing and advising…
October 2, 2008 at 6:17 am
After listening to your candid and factual views on varuous TV talk shows, I have decided that these channels should change their name as follows:
AAJ – Bolta Pakistan
Bolte Bikau Totte (parrots)
or Bikta Pakistan
AAJ – Live with Talat Hussain
Live with a Sadist
or Muskarana Mana Hain
GEO – Kamran Khan Show
Kahanni Khalifa kI Zubanni
GEO – Capital Talk
Darulhukumat ke jazbat, aik jahil ke saat
GEO – Hum Saab Umeed Se Hain
Apne moon mia mithoon (always praising GEO)
or Hum Saab Chor Hain
GEO – Mere Mutabiq
Previously aired by Dr. Shahid Masood)
GEO Horror Show
TVone – The Lucman Show
Look Man or I will show [the fact]
Keep up your good work
god bless you Marvi
October 2, 2008 at 6:41 am
Hahahah… i dont understand why so much educated people think very strangely, if Mushrraf was so good then why people of Pakistan voted against him and his policies, why did not he face impeachment, if u people even defend his policies, then demand da parliament to debate on his policies, A person who itself accepts that he took uncostitutional steps on 3rd November, so why u people defend that steps that he took, be loyal 2 ur country and to ur nation.*Always tell ur boss what he needs to hera dont tell him what he wants to hear.*
October 2, 2008 at 6:43 am
AOA,
It is nice to know that you are hoping and working to good for this country.
I really admire what you are doing. Keep it up.

I mentioned Zainab’s issue and demanded justice on it in ARY Kashif’s show tonight- also mentioned Faisal’s manifesto compliance rating- and I didnt look angry- I do listen to all of you
October 2, 2008 at 5:20 pm
Its time ship all the politicians their aides, uneducated molvis, celebraties to antartic and not just bomb that ship it should be nuked
October 2, 2008 at 5:47 pm
How can a vote of be any value when the voters are uneducated naive people, thugs, righteous pepole voting one person or party, who have been choosen again and again.
1-If you want to make a change bring a educated voters clause, than i will see who gets the mandate which is so much talked about.
2-Educated respected people should be in parliment like your self. Than i will see how many you will find in remote areas of pakistan.
3- A law should be passed that only educated responsibble should be preaching islam and guidence to people
4- Arabic should be made our national language ( should be in longer term plan )
5- Any contradictions of present constitution with Holy Quran should be abolished, Infact its time for us to have Quran as our constitution.
6- Encourage local rich buisness tycoons to invest in products which we are importing, and ban all imports which are competing with local products.
7- Invest in research and development, education, technology, we need scientists, inventors
8- Do nothing after reading all this which i am sure is future of this 7 point agenda for now.

A beautiful inspirational poem taken from my favorite movie ‘rang de basanti’.
I love General Kiani and his brave soldiers ,may they come to the rescue of this nation soon Inshallah.I will fight with them.
(The poem is written as an ode to the young freedom fighters of the Indian Independence Movement, and is often associated with the younger generation of inter-war revolutionaries such as Shaheed Bhagat Singh and Chandrashekhar Azad. Ram Prasad Bismil aptly utilized the same pen name in his own poetry).
Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai
Dekhna hai zor kitna baazu-e-qaatil mein hai
aye watan Karta nahin kyun doosra kuch baat-cheet
Dekhta hun main jise who chup teri mehfil mein hai
Aye shaheed-e-mulk-o-millat main tereoopar
nisaar
Ab teri himmat ka charcha ghair ki mehfil mein hai
Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai
Waqt aanay dey bata denge tujhe aye aasman
Hum abhi se kya batayen kya hamare dil mein hai
Khainch kar layee hai sab ko qatl hone ki ummeed
Aashiqon ka aaj jumghat koocha-e-qaatil mein hai
Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai
Yuun khadaa maqtal mein qaatil kah rahaa hai baar baar
Kya tamannaa-e-shahaadat bhi kisee ke dil mein hai
Dil mein tuufaanon ki toli aur nason mein inqilaab
Hosh dushman ke udaa denge humein roko na aaj
Duur reh paaye jo humse dam kahaan manzil mein hai
Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai.
Dekhna hai zor kitna baazuay qaatil mein hai

Assalaam O Alaikum
Madam I honestly regards your opinions and as well as your educated style. I’m watching your talk shows since Gen (R) Musharraf’s era. You always explain your point of view briefly and as a young lady politician you have a unique style.

October 2, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Yes marvi you briefly mentioned Zainab’s issue and as well as Faisal’s Manifesto

October 2, 2008 at 8:06 pm
False, false and only false statements.
I dont know what is the criteria of our tv programmes.
Is this a policy of our chennals……? Not to show facts.
Where is their struggling against dictatorship gone? Madam why are they all not understanding that there is not only military dictatorship but also civil dictatorship.
I must say they are not working for Pakistan just working for their business.
Madam cant we understand that it is again another dictatorship.
What so ever people want only Zardari’s desire is fulfilled. This is one man show.
Cant our chennals able to understand that what is happening?
Innocent people are killing in our country and non graduate president of pakistan is flirting( line maar raha ha ) Zardari to Sara, ” You are so beautiful, I can even hug you”.
Zardari ye bhi bhool giya kay wo marhoom Benazir Bhutto ka shohar hay jis ki abhi pheli barsi bhi nahi hoiye.
Look at the behavier of PML(N) Nawaz Sharif, A country is burning and he has gone for UMRAH.
Where is his commitment of juditionary?
Now no one is bothered for ex chief justice after Gen (R) Pervez Musharraf.
Actually they all wanted Musharraf to be gone and they dont want justice to be resolve in our country.
Now what PPPP is saying that our atleast 50 NA seats is taken away by PML(N) using unfair means.
Please people of Pakistan request you to force media to work again for pakistan and get rid of ANTI-PAKISTANIS….
Where is Dr. Shahid Masud gone? I was not surprised when he was offer an appoinment MD(PTV), actually I was surprised when he accepted the offer. Was he actually a greedy man????

October 2, 2008 at 10:27 pm
hello mam
i want to say that we all pakistanis are really proud of you andwish we had mature politician like you that would make country move forward only thing that fears me most that in 21 centuary its not the war of wepons its economic war and we now how fragile our economy is can you please tell what govt is doing in that field and how long would it take to come back on trak the same track we had in musharraf’s period.plz reply
thanks
October 3, 2008 at 7:40 am
Madam
DawkTurr Shahid Masood is a jacka$$, a failed “doctor”, a sub-standard interviewer, an obnoxious and ill-read interviewee, a pseudo journalist, an opportunist of the highest order now being paid Rs 10,00,000 and a faux Musselmaan plagiarist.
The thing is, snake oil salesman “jaanu jermans” like him propsper rather well in the ill-educated populace which has not a smidgen of logic remaining in their thought processes after having been educated through the contorted fictions of Pakistani education system.
Regards
October 3, 2008 at 7:43 am
Madam
Shahid Masood is intellectually poor. He was not capable of making money from his medical practice. Media in Pakistan is destrying Pakistan. Looking from outiside about Masood, Hamid Mir, and Media: we need Chinese model, we also look into American, Indian, and Israeli models: where language used by Media on National Security issues is a real crime. In China any one would have been shot, In the USA, arrested under Patriot Act, In India and Israel no less than China. These people are taking advantage of NRO, Nawaz’s stance against Army, and Silence on part of Mush & Defence Forces. The British style democracy with this Media and Politicians have created this mess. It has not done anything for poor. We need a change and let’s follow Chinese Model of Economic Success and Political Stability, where Armed Forces and Civil Society are Partnets in development and growth. Talking against Musharraf has become a fashion. That’s what GEO and Masood did. Let’s ask question from every looter politician what he/she has done for the people, his economic vision, and has created any job?? but loot for himself.
Regards
October 3, 2008 at 7:46 am
The real loser is Shahid masood as he is no more credible and no one will ever listen to him. Instead of “doston ka, rishtey daron ka, girdo nawah key logon ka”, iss rascal ney sirf apna khyal rakha. We have wasted last 4-5 yrs listening to his sermons, his chantings, his ramblings. We regret it now.
October 3, 2008 at 7:55 am
To Mr. SHihan And Madam Marvi…
brother u criticised on all politicion except da recent traitors and sellers of this country: perhaps u have been rewarded by Mushrraf or his dictatorship.And if not,to sub se pehle tumhai us dictator ko condemn karna chahiye tha jis ne apne country k innocent logo ko AMericans k hatho sell kar diya, just for his own sake, just to prolong his dictatorship, jis ne country ko destroy karne k liye aisee policies banai jise aaj Jamhuriat k bare bare Alambardar bhi continue karne par majboor hain. jisne mulk ki sovereignity ko bhi Americans ki harlot bana diya,
Who destroyed the whole democaratic institutions and suspended da constitution many times, he made the judiciary da least reliable and da most controverssial institution of the state,
or jo bara commando banta phirta tha, impeachment face karne ki bhi juarrat nahi thi us ma, and he devoured like rat…
And then you should condemn to those people who were with him and helped him to destroy the state and now they are dispersed b/w them… or sharam ki intiha k itna sab kuch hone k bad bhi aqal k nakhun nahi le rahe…
Ahhh…..
Jis ne bhi kaha ha 100% sahi kaha hai k
*The worst democracy is better than dictatorship*
Or NaWAZ SHArif ki app bat karte hain, us ne to Pkistan ki History ma pehli martaba yeh rivayat kaim ki hai k kisi ne usoolo per hukumat ko laat mari ho, sirf qaum se kiye gaay waday ko woh poora na kAr sakay and they even left da alliance, we should pay a High tribute to those people who have courage like this…
oR baqi bat rahi shahid masood ki to, Jb Mushahid hussain or ch. shujaat jese log bik saktay hain to woh bechara kis khet ki mooli hai… dua karo K Allah is mulk se dictatorship ki baqiat khatam karay.. tbhi jakar jamhuriat ka influence app ko is country ma nazar aay ga…
or baqi baat rahi zardari ki to i m 100% agree with all of those who think that he should not be the president of the state, but when i c if if Musharraf could be da president, so why not Zardari???? Usay to un logo ne bhi vote diye hain jo Gen. Musharraf k nawaze huay log thay, it means that there is something else in that person….
Aur Baqi Baaten to ek taraf us k nominated Prime Minister ko poori PML(Q) ne vote kia, jb app ne us k P.M. per itna bharosa kia hai, to us per aitmad karte huay kyu taklef horahi hai???
Bus dua karo bhai, or ms marvi ko Samjhao k liers or traitors k sath mil kar mulk ko tabah he kiya ja skta hai, usay sanbhala nahi ja sakta, 4 a better ambition 2 achieve, there should be Da best platform, or if u think there is no platform of this type, then stand alone, God will help u if YOU really want to help His people…
Lekin ye bhi to majboor hain, ab yeh bhi to un traitors ko treason nahi kar sakti warna seat jo chali jaay geee, seat gai to sari baten khatam…
phir Na rahay gee Marvi or na rahay gee Parliament….
BTW what do u think madam about my post????
hVe u courage to speak truth?
October 3, 2008 at 8:06 am
Bhai aap kion sad hotay hain ye in baray logo ka style hay, kia aap ko nahi lagta tha kay dr stupid monkey ppp ko aur benazir ko aur asif zardari ko oppose nahi kerta, hamay to phelay hi maloom tha kay aisa hi hoga, kia aap wo program bhol gaye jab is dr stupid monkey nay retired generals ko bola ker pakistan army aur pakistan ki security ko challange kerna shoro ker dia, me to kehta hoon aisay logo dr stupid monkey, gen gulzar aur moin ud din haider ko national security act kay tahet hang ker dena chahiye…
pata nahi hamari army ko kia hogiya hay jis ka dil chahta hay army kay khilaaf ghalat salat boldeta hay aur koiye us ko nahi pooochta, dr shahid masood aur hamid mir jaisay journalists nay journalism ko badnaam ker dia hay, musharraf kay janay ki dair thi sab kay mouth band ker diya gaye, ye sab rascals hain,
Marvi tum media per aati hu please zara media waloon ko bhi sabak sikao ye media walay hi hain jo mulk ka bera gharak ker rahay hain
October 3, 2008 at 9:35 am
yes u are right arabic language can unite us direct understanding of quran and ahadees can bring common understanding.marvi u dont have any lower level political exprience so thats y u talk big.dont u think quality primary education can do much to save our future. and i have a suggestion for u.
i believe a lecture of half an hour on any topic of quran must be delievered in every school colleges universities includding private institutions too,can be helpful to resolve the terror problem.after all i think u know one hadees inwhich muhammad(p.b.u.h) said i am leaving this quran among u and this can only keep us unite(allah forgive me if i m wrong).
October 3, 2008 at 10:24 am
ASA,
I had gone through deep depression when I heard about resignation of our great leader Mr. Musharraf. Since that day I realized more and more that I had responsibility towards my home country. But I had no clue how? And as the days passed by my embarassment increased and increased. I’m no more a proud citizen, I am not just a citizen of a third world but maybe a third grade nation. There is no more a person like President Musharraf to make us proud.
I have seen quiet a few of your talk shows and I have been amazed by the knowledge and confidence you have. Myself and many of my friends now see you as our voice.
I’m hoping to contribute to my ability on your website. I have added your website in my favourites. All I need to know if there is any way you can post your upcoming speeches and talk shows schedule on this website so we dont miss any of them and can keep our morale high.
I am in construction business for last 5 years at Islamabad and Dubai. My father is a retired army officer and had an opportunity to serve with President Musharraf in SSG. He was our only hope and we still hope if he can come back, maybe you might know.
At this time I can volunteer myself for any administrative support you might need in the cause of keeping Musharraf vision alive and serve my homeland.

agar itna he commando, dilair, sipasalar tum ne usay banaya hua hai, agar itna he bara leader hota to is tarah poori quam k samnay commitment kar k mukar na jata… or jo chargesheet us k khilaf tayar horahi the, usay baqol Mushahid Hussain k Tika k us ka muqabla karta, kia to nahi, itna bara commando banaya hua hai tum ne usay,woh sirf apnay logo ka khoon karvane ma commando tha, bus is se ziada kuch nahi.. he was just a Liar, dictator, traitor of the nation and servant of America nothingelse more….
samjhe Mr.????
try to empower da democrates not da dictators, unhain positively criticise karo, unki islah karne ki koshish karo, jo sirf tumhari he taqat se power ma aasaktay hain, apni kismat khud apne hath ma lo, in dictators ne to pehlay bhi mulk ko tora or aaj bhi aise halat peda kar k gaay hain, k mulk bikhra hua hai, provinces ek doosre k khilaf ho chukay hain, federation kamzor hoti chali jarahi hai, isay app log sanbhal saktay ho….
Tum kia chaahtay ho k tumhari marzi k log tum par hukmarani karen ya koi bhi shakhs bandook ki nook par tumhain apna ghulam bana kar beth jaay, yeh fesla ab tum ne karna hai…

Dear Marvi,
This is Hira Suhail Ahmed Memon from Karachi.I’ve been listening to the talkshows you’ve been attending…Why are you so much against an elected government?????Mushi man was a non-constitutional president and a dictator…not even an elected President…and you talk about her achievements…huh…bullshit…but you always forgets the sacrifices of the present government and the civil society and the students and the youth…u talk about the present governments failures??????and what about the tear gases and lathi charge your dear mushi man did on us?????i’m still having problem in breathing…dear lady i’m not a nonenity…i belong to quite a high-named family…we are from no parties…we are simple students who were supporting CJ and protesting against an un-constitutional President…was protest a crime in your government’s eyes????ooops…sorry i forgot…i mean WAS PROTESTING A CRIME IN GENERLA MUSHARRAF’S REGIME DAYS?????and if it was so…then why you want us…the youth now to protest against the present government?????Lady…i’m being very frank…that you are following the footsteps of Musharraf…who is hated by 87% PAkistanis at the moment…
and yess…btw you were right we have strong disagreements and we disapprove your party affiliation…plz dont say that it’s your constitutional rigjt to select and support party of your choice…because an army dictator’s supporter is always against the constitution of Pakistan…and if you are in favour of Musharraf the you cannot do a single thing for Pakistan…he was nothing more than a traitor…and if one is denying that…he is kidding him/her self then…or maybe that person doesn’t know a single thing about democracy or constitution or law…or maybe ignore these things…a person who supports musharraf means doesn’t give a damn about people and their rights and their votes and their respect and power…well i shouldn’t have said it all because your party has been taught well in 18th feb. 2008’s elections but i think you are talking a bit more than is needed…that’s why leaving a message…and i can bet on it if one more army dictator is going to offer you and your party important offices…you are again going to sell your self-esteem…
goodbye and takecare
and remember onething 87% Pakistanis doesn’t hate only Musharraf…they hate pml-q also…they voted against them…so stop barking and try to help the present goverment [pppp and pml-n and anp and mqm etc.] to work for the welfare of the present government…

kindly mention this point in media that the only way we can stop terrorism in pakistan
and another thing make force that area people and they can look after their area and clear from terrorism , because no army finish terrorism ever in that area.

Of late, my wife and I have been keenly watching your very sharp but apt remarks at the bad governance of the PPP lead government. So far so good! But what about the past follies of your mentor general Musharraf who, a CIA agent and the one who wanted to perpetuate his rule on one pretext or the other, sided with the Americans, and, look at the quagmire that we are in today. You have all the right to blame the present government of nincomph poofs but you must also admit the mistakes of your “NAB zada Q league”! Even Musharraf admitted in his parting speech that he had committed mistakes (read blunders).
As reported in the column “Such gup” in the Friday Times, aren’t you one of those who were doled out money by the ex-president from his discretionary funds for engaging with media?
You, from Qleague, have been vociferously cricising the PPP govt but what’s your call the latest news that so called “Qatil League” has decided to join the PPP!!!??? You are all proving to be “perpetual lotas” once again!
The fact that you were part of rubber stamp assemblies, under a puppet PM and directly benefitted from the dole outs of a dictator, should not be taken as a qualification to bombard us with your “personal” views which are at variance with your own party.
So much has happened in the country since the chickened out dictator left but he is silent to the extent that one presumes that he is already dead! No comments on suicide blasts – his legacy -, no eid mubarak to his “aziz hamwatno”! Isn’t he a prisoner now just like he had imprisoned the deposed CJ and Dr. AQ Khan?
My advice to you is; remove the shackles of the past, start with a new slate and then address the general public with the courage and conviction of a new Marvi!

Msg for Major (R) Talaat Khurshid
I respect President Musharraf for his many achievements for Pakistan. I criticize current government for what I see as anti-Pakistan policies. Both are my rights.
Before accusing anyone of accepting supposed media dole outs please get your facts straight. I am proud to confirm that I am certainly not one of those people mentioned by Such Gup Friday Times.
We clearly dont agree on many aspects of our country’s politics but thats ok. It is PPP who called us Qaatil, certainly doesnt make us Qaatil if they call us Qaatil. It is PPP who is now eating their own words and extending hand out to our party for joining govt not other way around. Would request you to avoid such accusations also. Millions of Pakistanis did give us their votes and I am sure by calling us Qaatil you are hurting their rights too.
In my opinion President Musharraf was no dictator because he was elected by PML majority votes. He certainly is no prisoner since he is moving around meeting people quite freely. If he is silent publicly about Pakistan’s state of affairs for now I respect that. Thats his choice for now.
These arguments that you have presented are fairly non-productive. Because with your abuses neither are you going to change my mind nor by my response I will change yours. Best you use this forum to give ideas on solutions only. This is the new culture we the new generation of politicians and the youth are trying to inculcate in our politics. Would appreciate you espousing that too!

ha ha ha
achievements of Musharraf????????
Let me give u true achievements of mushrraf which are
Terrorism in Pakistan
bombing in waziristan
provincial dishormony
operation in Baluchistan
brutal murder of Akbar Bugti
brutal murder of Benazir Bhutto
economic plunder in the shape of whaet,sugar and other commodities
orgainised criminal scandal in the shape of stock exchange
depriving pakistan of its national assets such as steel mills,ptcl etc
But do u know his biggest achievement?????
His biggest achievement is marvi memon who belongs to the memon community of karachi.her father is a senator elected from sind province but marvi memon has become MNA over the quota of Punjab province.wow what a remarkable mockery with the notion of Provincial autonomy.when it become clear that PML Q is going to be perished in Sind,she was blessed by Musharraf with a seat reserved for Punjab women folk.
So plz stop behaving like a true champion of democarcy.u might have good contacts with tv cahnnels but let me assure u how big fiasco the elected government becomes in future,the PML Q must not dream of Musharraf era coming back.
I know u will mark my comments as aggressive and abusive.u may post certain remarks in ur favour through some fake IDs at this forum.yet deep inside u it will be clear to u how right i am.byeeeeeee

Maj (R) Talat Khurshid & Madam Marvi
Major Sahab first of all you should criticise yourself not only for misused of this forum as well as acted like Lt Gen(R) Gulzar and Lt Gen(R) Moin Uddin Haider. Madam Marvi has arranged this forum to google out solutions of blunder of problems specially producing by PPPP govt since Feb 18.
For God sake maj sb what the hell you have done in Pak Army you know very well and the result of your splendid service is your retirement as just a Major and now you are showing yourself an excellent analyst.
I think you need to go through from the current situation when:-
US seals again n again entering in our country land.
US planes are bombarting in our mother land on daily basis.
Composition of ISI is now changing.
China is now looking to India.
India is treating you.
Your President meets Indian PM and indian stops throwing water.
In the UNO Address your President didnt like to talk abt Pakistan’s security rather than his own security.
American’s candidates of President and wise presidents are declaring Pakistan a top terrorist country for world.
In this critical situation your president is flirting Sara Palon, forgot BiBi.
Red Cross declared Pakistan a War Zone.
Your economy is almost destroyed.
No one is ready to help you out.
Maj sb first criticise your self than others, now these are the problems if you have any solution than suggest it….Nothing Personnal

Mr. Ramiz and Madam Marvi
Mr Ramiz you type of people destroying pakistan, I will not discuss what the hell you spoke out about the past and for your information I’m not a person who got any benefit by Gen(R) Pervez Musharraf.
Mr Ramiz how could you forget the entry of Nawaz Sharif in National Politcis, just recall your memory, that was just because of Gen(martyr) Zia Ul Haq. A man who is born in the Military Academy can be a true politicain…? absolutely not
When the first time Benazir became a PM what she did, interfared in ISI(immediately changed DG ISI) and she disclosed the names of sikh leaders who were working for their “The Land Of The Pure”, The Khalistan movement is a movement in Indian Punjab to create “The Land of the Pure” as an independent Sikh state in all Punjabi-speaking areas, which include Indian Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and some other Punjabi speaking parts of states like Gujarat and Rajasthan.” You might not be knowing that in Zia’s era ISI giving training and aid to sikh movement via Sir Creek but Benazir destroyed each n everything.
What Nawaz Sharif did in second period of Benazir, he used his punjab govt to throw out Benazir from govt to opposition and what he did in his second tenure, should it not be called civil dictatorship???? Immediately he changed DG ISI than a chain of changes like Justice(R) Sajjad Ali Shah(An attack on supreme court), COAS Gen(R) Jhangir Karamat, he again kick out the seniority of Lt Gens and selected fifth senior Lt Gen Pervez Musharraf as COAS, was it not a civil dictatorship???? what is Zardari dont you how fame he is???? A killer, A bankrupt, Money Laundry scandel, Mir Murtuza Bhottu case, Mr. 10%, Gold Smuggler, the most benficail of Benazir’s assasination, now a civil dictator and a flirter……..
Regards for Madam

Ms Marvi
Thanks for your very prompt response! Are you always sitting on the PC or there is a “shadow Marvi” responding to our emails!!??
Respecting Musharraf for his achievements and criticising the present govt are your rights…. fair enough but what are or were the General’s achievements?….Selling his own “aziz hamwatnos” to America, hunting with the hound and running with the hare (killing some of the so called Talibans and sponsoring others?), 9 March 2007 and its aftermath, sugar, wheat, stock exchange, steel mills scandals, Jamia Hafsa, to name a few, and above all, an unconstitutional step of declaring emergency and packing up of the judiciary and last but not the least…. shameful NRO for the perpetuation of his own rule and how he was bitten back by the illiterate public when his party was voted out!
Its good to know that you are not one of those who were doled out money by the ex-President. By the way can you name those personalities who were the recipients of this dole out?
If its PPP who is asking for your party’s hand then why doesn’t your party refuse to join them? The impression is that Q league is also itching to join because of the fact that you people can’t stay without ministries!!
I used the words.. “so called Qaatil”…. but who would explain for the washing away of the forensic evidence from the crime scene after BB’s murder? None other than Musharraf who was “heading” the Q League.
Musharraf got majority votes from a dying assembly but more than 80% of the public dismissed him with their votes… so which one is important… the NABBED assemblies or the FREE people??!!
Musharraf is silent because he knows that he will be booed where ever he will go.
You were very candidly giving solutions to problems on tv channels…. and you want us to give solutions to you as well… why?
1. Ask your party not to join the PPP
govt
2. Join the movement for the restoration of the sacked judiciary and enhance your stature in the eyes of the public.
3. Admit mistakes, follies and blunders of your govt of the past and start with a clean slate.
4. Align yourself with the mood of the public and do not I repeat do not go contrary to the wishes of the people which was the hall mark of your mentor Gen Musharraf.
5. Contrubute in alleviating the sufferings of the common man.
6. Do come over in talk shows but then tell us what concrete steps you have taken now…. not what the govt should do. You were in the govt for 8 long years…. you did nothing!!
7. Take up one of the issues… health, education, clean water, maternity and child care etc etc as your primary responsibility and let the people see for themselves. Actions speak louder than words.
Last but not the least, I did not see the “youth Marvi” in the past 8 years… If every young politician like you starts on his own then we would be a divided nation. How about joining hands with another leader like Imran Khan. Hope you don’t have any pre-planned hate material against him???!!!
October 4, 2008 at 9:23 am
We can talk for days and nights about who did what and what not. We have constitution which is beleived and referred more than Quran by some. We have an ordeal system called democracy which is imposed over us, by, dont know who.
Why are we all supposed to follow the constitution and democracy? An ordinary man has no use of constitution. It is Mr. Iftikhar who needed it or power hungry leaders to talk and talk about it. If constitution is so important and effective then why dont we ordinary people get justice from courts. A court decision requires common sense but here the courts require to fill up the case files and tackle the nuisance of lawyers and judges.
Democracy cannot feed us, roti, kapra aur makan, none can be and never was provided by democracy. Everyone who has been on this forum should know this forum is not offered by any politically “elected” person. Infact there is not a single elected political memeber in assembly who has such a potential and calibre to even offer this forum. All they have is election offices only during campgain and then they are gone for good. Atleast here we have the basic right to talk our hearts out.
There is a huge mis conception about civil society. I simply dont understand which civil society are we talking about and hearing about on media. The real civil society is here on this forum and people around us who we get to meet. They have never been on any rallys or protests.
I am civil society, I dont want to hear about the constitution and democracy, I need respect for my homeland, for my motherland, for my nation.
October 4, 2008 at 9:23 am
u are new generation politician,ok, but u dont have any low level political experience like local bodies member,so i cant understand how can u resolve the problems of the people u never encountered,tell me how can u improve the education in our country,have u ever visited any government school
October 4, 2008 at 10:03 am
Two quick answers since I have my hands full with work …
Nobody other than me responds to all of you. No ghost writers. It takes time but its important to be direct with all of you. I respond thru blackberry sometimes so its immediate.
Anyway I have visited many govt schools. Latest was Manora where the children had died. Those who read diary pages would know more about my day to day activities. Those who are on a hate spree wouldnt.
If everyone’s experience in parliament was the regular average stuff you wouldnt have the wealth of expertise required to lift this nation out of its current state. If technocrats have made it to parliament lots of people are happy about that. Some are not!
Anyway, solutions thats all we need.
I dont censor comments. Nor am I moronic enough to get people to post things in my favour on my website! What you see on the website is what people have to say..some good some bad..some useful some useless.
Maybe I should start filtering so that we only see solutions on website, but I dont think that is voice of the people. So I shall continue posting all of what you send however useless or useful it is for Pakistan.
October 4, 2008 at 10:06 am
regards sir maj talat,
only a true soldier talks with such grit…you are right sir..we have had enough of these people…miss marvi and her father have always been in power..when there was an elected assembly she had a reserved seat and when the caretaker govt took over her father came in …but what have they done..nothing sir…and then there is a man imran khan..you can call him a playaboy or self styled mullah but he has done practical work..and its sickening to see that whenever someone confronts him, its always that old paternity suit they talk about..as if they took bath in ganges river..these people speak of freedom of speech and yet they supported that dictator when he clamped down all media..freedom of speech is all what mushy thought its not…
October 4, 2008 at 10:11 am
hahaha yes marvi now you look more like mushy’s camp.. he also thought that except him everyone was talking useless..go on and filter the ones against you this will only prove what a dual personality you are..regards
October 4, 2008 at 10:13 am
My team is in the process of putting together a solutions document based on only those solutions given on this forum. Would be interesting to see the document and also the names of those who have truly contribted and those who have merely used this forum to spread hatred and write useless comments!
October 4, 2008 at 10:26 am
shut up ali side, we dont want you and sajjad ..well bite yourself you two are quite good at it.

Dear Ma’am
Your article in daily The News, ‘Why China’ on 4th Oct. ‘08 was indeed an excellent effort to put forward the concerns of millions of Pakistanis as to why this government is giving a cold shoulder to the repeated positive gestures by the Chinese government.
As we know that our current survival exists only and only in very warm relations with China, our leaders look in doldrums whether to go with US or China. Situation looks same like Mr. Liaquat Ali Khan faced in early 1950s, when he was between ‘a rock and a hard place’ with US on one end and Russia on the other. After some fifty odd years, the destiny has again, given us an opportunity and great nations learn from their history (I hope our leaders have learned it too!).
I have certain suggestions to bring them to your notice and I request you to please raise them in the assembly, as your party and Mr. Musharraf have done a commendable job in taking Pak-China frienship to new heights. I expect the same from you even in the opposition.
As a telecom employee, I know how China is helping us in building up partnerships in telecom industry and bringing foreign investment in Pakistan, consequently creating more and more job opportunities for the people of Pakistan and introducing them to some of the latest state-of-the-art technology. However, it is not enough until Pakistan becomes a self-manufacturing state, having some manufacturing plants, taking into consideration the exponential growth of telecom sector in Pakistan. Worth mentioning here is the fact that Pakistan is one of the top five countries of the world where telecom industry is flourishing so rapidly and perhaps has the highest population-to-mobile subscribers ratio with nearly 50% of the population using mobile phones. In this scenario, if the taxes on imports of the telecom equipment is increased by may be upto 70 to 80% and duties on the telecom equipment being manufactured within the country are taken-off, investors will definitely seriously look into building manufacturing plants in Pakistan, as Pakistan is one of the hottest telecom markets of the world and no foreign investor would like to lose Pakistan as a telecom market. By that time, hopefully, Pakistan will get out of the energy crisis and China is expected to be the country which would be more than interested in building up of manufacturing plants at larger scale as they already are investing billions of dollars in this industry and are the highest investing country in Pakistan with no other country nearing even closer to them.
I am very much hopeful that as a patriotic Pakistani and member of a great political party and supporter of a great leader, Mr. Musharraf, you will actively participate in bringing this issue into the limelight.
May Allah bless you with courage to serve Pakistan and take Pakistan to the new heights of glory and may Allah make your voice credible to bring a change in this country.
With profound Regards,
Babar Shaheen

Marvi,
Your idea of Shadow Cabinet is good. I propose that you may like to prepare a team on a certain area of expertise, which can then be headed by two leaders. One can be a person with some expertise and the second can represent youth. This all could be made possible through this virtual world of internet.
One part of the team can initiate the identification of problems and the other part can findout the solutions. However, there can be no bar on anyone to join either group at any time. These solutions could be gathered in the form of a paper which can then be published or presented before the House.
I really thankyou for your initiative, through which people even like me can also think that we can contribute something to this land being in my own position.

Hello,
Sorry to fill up ur inbox every now and then, I hope it does not bother all that much.
I am seriously concerned about the criterion of distribution of ministries among d/f individuals. In current system I don’t see professionals running the ministries that urgently require professional help. Different portfolios are occupied by purely political appointees. We also in the past have had the experience of thorough professionals( non political figures) as ministers that has not also been of avail. According to me members of cabinet should be individuals that are professionally, academically equipped for their portfolios and at the same time are politicians. Professional expertise will enable them to derive strategies for different situations, their political background will keep them connected with the public and the masses, they will be aware of public pulse in shaping their policies. This is a combination that is adopted all over the world and we see graduates of oxford Harvard hired by political parties.
Bottomline is our political parties lack professionals and we as a nation lack professional politicians. It is about time our mainstream parties start to have professionally qualified individuals as their members rather than landlords and jagirdaars.
Hope GHAIRATMANDI prevails.
Regards,
Zohair

Dear Marvi,
I like too much your talk show but in your debate there is no weightage due to that you belong to that party which have no roots in public and this party is developed buy a army dictator.
so if you join some other political party definitely you achieve your goal.
The most important thing which I want to ask you is that please speak for the independent of judiciary cause without independent judiciary there is no chance to solve our issues.
If iftikhar chaudary is chief justice of Pakistan than we think that judiciary is independent cause 85% Pakistani wants iftikhar chaudhary.

False, false and only false statements.
I dont know what is the criteria of our tv programmes.
Is this a policy of our chennals……? Not to show facts.
Where is their struggling against dictatorship gone? Madam why are they all not understanding that there is not only military dictatorship but also civil dictatorship.
I must say they are not working for Pakistan just working for their business.
Madam cant we understand that it is again another dictatorship.
What so ever people want only Zardari’s desire is fulfilled. This is one man show.
Cant our chennals able to understand that what is happening?
Innocent people are killing in our country and non graduate president of pakistan is flirting( line maar raha ha ) Zardari to Sara, ” You are so beautiful, I can even hug you”.
Zardari ye bhi bhool giya kay wo marhoom Benazir Bhutto ka shohar hay jis ki abhi pheli barsi bhi nahi hoiye.
Look at the behavier of PML(N) Nawaz Sharif, A country is burning and he has gone for UMRAH.
Where is his commitment of juditionary?
Now no one is bothered for ex chief justice after Gen (R) Pervez Musharraf.
Actually they all wanted Musharraf to be gone and they dont want justice to be resolve in our country.
Now what PPPP is saying that our atleast 50 NA seats is taken away by PML(N) using unfair means.
Please people of Pakistan request you to force media to work again for pakistan and get rid of ANTI-PAKISTANIS….
Where is Dr. Shahid Masud gone? I was not surprised when he was offer an appoinment MD(PTV), actually I was surprised when he accepted the offer. Was he actually a greedy man????

I agree with that writing about any topic is vary healthy and positive activity but why people write those people whom don’t series there problem. My suggestion is maam u have vary strong people flow ship why u not providing them leadership to people want new leadership like u (Mustafa kamal, Ammir liaqut, shazad ray oand other) .
I am not saying u other people u leave Q league its depend u when u thing better leave so u can. My point of view is you should star meeting the people who want meet & listen u not a Q league leader but as pioneer of shadow cabinet u can arrange any conference or seminar where u contact them. only relationship with web not very strong and use full. You have the quality of good communication u make them understand what is good & what’s wrong.
In the and I have one suggestion that please u move slow in media if u come every show may be people brow & please you speak slowly & humbly.

“i respect President Musharraf for his many achievements for Pakistan”. marvi what achievements are you talking of.see the state pakistan is in today.your mentor musharraf is responsible for it lady.i am surprised that people still think you can bring change. you are a person who supports a dictator.he destroyed institutes.pushed the country to the brink of a civil war.you in your talk shows talk about soveriegn territorial integrity and yo ur foreign m inister says you people allowed US UAV’s to strike inside pakistan. “In my opinion President Musharraf was no dictator because he was elected by PML majority votes”.what majority votes.that dummy assembly was almost through with its term.who gave you the mandate to impose an incompetent man over us for next five years.that assembly had no mandate.even your president shujaat hussain,kasuri,sheikh rasheed wasi zafar noone was re-elected and you elcted a president.how could you.and as far as bitter comments are concerned, you must answer this nation for your 5 years…you cant escape just by labeling some comments as useless.you are answerable to people.this is not your corporate world.people want explanations.
October 4, 2008 at 1:37 pm
hey whoever you are.give us a break,new leadership like mustafa kamal.the henchman of altaf hussain,the biggest criminal. murderer.a person who openly opposed the idea of pakistan in india(see the video)and marvi’s party stood with him for 5 years.amir liaquat, a pseudo intellectual.misleading people about religion and who is in controversy over s aying insulting things about sahaba(RA),if this is your new leadership then may Allah be with you.

Miss Marvi ,
i hope you read all the posts , n if you do hats off , bcz it took me an hour to read all the post of a single day
@ Miss Amnah
please be constructive , find your own role in the society and do it , blaming will only lead us to more blames more fingers pointing at each other and nothing else
But one thing is for sure even an ANTI MQM cant deny this fact that Mr. Mustafa Kamal has done a lot for Karachi ( do i need to proove this ?)
and if you blame someone please do give proofs (if you have paste the links over here )
its just my advice ,

October 5, 2008 at 3:56 am
Hi Amna:
I was truly amazed and disappointed to read your biased mail against MQM, and more so about Mustafa Kamal who has literally changed the face of Karachi. Reading your venomous mail, I can safely assume that you’re a nationalist and, ideally, an extremist! Or maybe that you’re not a non-Karachiite. True, MQM’s track record is not such that it should be awarded any gold scores, not should its leadership be termed as “intellectual” or “educated” in true sense of the term. More ominously–and maybe–rightly so, it has been termed as a party of “bhai log” or “underworld”, which may have a semblance of truth and veracity. However, gauging all its people with the same yardstick is not fair, and reflects an acute dearth of understanding on your part about the ground realities. There’s simply no disputing the fact that Mustafa Kamal has turned out to be an extremely able and competent mayor and his services for the city has been widely appreciated by all and sundry, both by a Karachiite and a non-Karachiite. What’s more heartening is that Ardeshir Cowasji, the hard-hitting columnist and MQM’s harshest critic has been all praises for the man. My only advice to you, therefore, is that instead of using your heart to present your vitriolic and senseless arguments, make use of your brains and be aware of the facts and figures. No other political party in the checkered history of Pakistan would have served this city–and country–better than MQM. And also, try to pull yourself from the vicious trap of religion, and have an inclusive approach to deal with things.

Ms. Marvi memon.
Its nice to see you as an educated female in Politics of Pakistan. In such politics, where unfortunately people don’t understand what is real dictatorship and what is democracy..
I run my small company of Website solutions http://www.zuhainnovation.com, and student of BBA in Faisalabad. I have few ideas related to youth empowerment and young entrepreneurship promotion. I have no access to government. Even yahoo.com and businessweek.com wrote about me as a young entrepreneur from Pakistan. And i did not receive a single appreciation certificate from Government of Pakistan. You can see all my achievements of last 2 years on my blog: http://www.hassaankhan.com .. I’m looking forward to hear from you …..

hi syed adeel ahmed,
well first of all i would request you to use YOUR brain sir. your mayor has not been able to control the street crime in the city.the street crime is ever increasing.what did he do to prevent the massacare of 12th may..nothing..bcos his boss the altaf bhai wanted the blood shed.what has MQM done for khi?.turning it into an underworld..they are actually using khi to blackmail other parties into accepting them into their folds.they are power hungry and have no ethics.they stood with q-league for 5 years and then when they could not offer them anything they simply changed boats.for me MQM is a party of thugs and oppurtunists and it is lead by a man who openly opposed pakistan in india(if you saw the video on geo tv).i have my own opinion and i want you to keep your opinion to yourself and dont call others brainless because tehy dont agree with you. and secondly sorry to say that but it seems you have been bred in a way that you consider religion a trap, and i am bred in a way that i consider religion a way of life. i can only pitty a “syed” like you who considers his faith a vicious trap. DOWN WITH MQM AND DOWN WITH ALL HYPOCRATES WHO DO NOT HAVE THE COURAGE TO STAY AWAY FROM POWER FOR ONE DAMN TERM

Dear Marvi,
Salam,
First of all, I would like to appreciate your policies & good thoughts about Pakistan. May Allah bless you always.
I have recently read a report from BBC.com that Mr. Zardari has said that he had given permission to US to launch attacks in Pakistan. He further said that “Indian freedom fighters” in Kashmir are “terrorists”. Please check this link. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7653687.stm
I don’t understand are we running a one man show here? Mr. Zardari didn’t consult Parliament or Nation before making such a statement. Can someone please ask him what our national policies are regarding Kashmir and War on Terror now?
Allah has provided you a great platform and I expect you to raise your voice on this issue.
Best Regards,
Dr. Umer Farooq

Now because of that we are facing great water power shorages
I am working n dubity and water authorty and i am well versed abot the importance of water and power
We are this much lucky that we can produce thousand of MW through worlds cheapest source HYDEL POWER but no inportance
IN his last period musharaf started NEELUM JEHLUM PROJECT bcs of that we cant protect our historic rigt over jehlum river
What is this nouncence

——– my response———
During PML govt the issue of dams was raised twice- awareness was created- consensus was not achieved thus decision was not taken-except to work on 5 dams-
this govt has backed off and doesnt even want to do that- i am a water expert and have researched extensively on the subject- I speak on the same whenever i get a chance in parliament. Check speeches section and browse through- whether on Indian water issues or our own self created-
I agree with you that we failed to create consensus. But this govt has not even tried. anyway, the dams there was consensus on should be fast tracked immediately. We should push for that in phase 1. the issues are technical and not political. every govt makes them political. Till technically you cant convince all provinces of certain facts we will see in action on this front. There are technical deficiencies and at the right time we will discuss these.
For the moment i am trying to push for those dams which have no consensus issues and are technically OK. There are royalty issues for Bhasha Diamir which need resolving, whether the headworks fall in NWFP or Gilgit-Baltistan (GB). We must give to GB if we are taking land from them for this purpose… Anyway more on it later. Need to run for a meeting

Dear Ms. Memon,
I really liked your view on Hamid Mir’s show and your honest criticism. I am only writing to you because you are one of the very few educated and patriotic Pakistanis in the National Assembly and I have been told that you take positive criticism seriously.
Many have a lot of admiration for your hard work and determination. However the minute you start supporting Musharraf, people stop taking you seriously and it undermines your own credibility. Musharraf was a dictator, who was extended legitimacy through a sham election and, in his last days, he was one of the most hated people in the history of Pakistan – as the rest of this message will hopefully show.
It is a well known fact that the 2002 elections – which gave Musharraf legitimacy were rigged to the core – as confirmed by the architect of the rigging himself (Maj-Gen Ehtesham Zamir in this News Item : http://www.thenews.com.pk/top_story_detail.asp?Id=13159) and also by many international orgaisations (http://www.ipcs.org/countIssueBrief.jsp?issue=59 ). Musharraf was hence never legitimately elected and lies on your part have already hurt your party’s position. According to the last survey conducted by the IRI (details can be seen here: http://www.iri.org/mena/pakistan/2008-07-16-Pakistan.asp / PDF document here: Graphs and Charts ), following was the approval of your party people. None of them were more popular than 10 % ! This was also manifested in the election results (Page 48 of the above document).
Mushahid Hussain 9 % positive,
Pervez Musharraf 9 % positive,
Pervaiz Elahi 8 % positive
Chaudhry Shujaat 8 % positive
The highest in the ratings were for Nawaz Sharif:
Nawaz Sharif 82 % positive
Two people who have been a victim of your government :
AQ Khan 76 % positive
Iftikhar Chaudhry 65 % positive
And even Asif Zardari and Yousaf Raza Gilani had higher approval ratings than anyone from PML-Q , 45 % and 64 % respectively. (Page 48). This is simply because of your party’s unending support of Musharraf and his coup against the judiciary of Pakistan.
If the PML-Q truly wants to be a party of the people it must take up the cause of the people. The reason why Nawaz Sharif is popular today and why Musharraf is not is because pretty much all of Pakistan wants the Supreme Court to be returned to Nov 2 position. Contrary to what you politicians might think, the restoration of the Nov 2nd judiciary is an important issue for us Pakistan – the same poll suggests 86 % of Pakistan considers restoration of the Supreme Court through an executive order an issue important to them (Page 22 , IRI Charts and Graphs, Pakistan July 2008). Since the PML-N is the only party that is championing the cause of the people it has won the populist thunder. And of course it will help them a lot in the next elections.
The current disagreement between the PPP and PML-N over the judges issue is a window of opportunity for the PML-Q to regain its lost position and return back with a bang. If the PML-Q apologises to the nation for its support of Musharraf and its complicity in destruction of Pakistan’s court – which 86 % say is very important to them – many like myself who would are completely anti-PML-Q will start taking your party more seriously. After all the sole objective of a political party is to work for the desires of the people and this is exactly what your party will be doing by taking up the judges issue in its agenda.
Pakistanis tend to have a very short term memory and are oft-forgiving. They forgave Nawaz Sharif because he took up the issue most important to them and it comes as a little surprise that he is the most popular politician alive in Pakistan today. If the PML-Q is able to present a resolution for the restoration of the Nov 2nd in the National Assembly and gets it approved from the house, it will be remembered as the party which saved Pakistan’s judiciary and not cronies of a failed dictator – as per its current image.
This, of course, is written only for your own good and the future of your party so you should probably take it seriously. All stats and newspaper items are credible and representative of Pakistani sentiment and appropriately cited.
Sincerely,
Samad

Maam
i have some opinion why not you make young party and like Pak youth party and itself run that party , in my though mostly young generation youth come in your party , your pervious party can’t do what you like and though , PML mostly are munafiq , two face people so its better you make young blood party those change system rather then only talk , may be you know young blood more powerful then old people those take out poor people blood.
second in my opinion ,only give seat of those people who really want to help pakistan rather then take out blood of poor peoples, give MPA & MNA seat only those give time and money to their own country, like state bank issue Dollar or foreign currency certificate and businessmen buy that certificate with guarantee, we select MPA or MNA selection wise , first they show their all property and bank balance openly and after 5 year audit through media and offical audit company
its only way we regret munafiq in our track otherwise again and again same munafiq come and take out blood of poor people
sorry if you mind that i point out your party and other party munafiq nature
we can built up our pakistan more strong and safe place foreigner for tourism
thank and best regard of all pakistani

Dear Amna:
First off, controlling street crimes is not the sole responsibility of the mayor. He, or the chief minister of the province, can only direct the law enforcement agencies to pre-empt or contain such incidents and apprehend the culprits. So the responsibility basically lies with the police, not the mayor. And by the way, what proof do you have that MQM was only responsible for what happened on May 12? Were the other political parties on the very day not active and armed? Is MQM the only party to have the stockpile of weapons and to blame for all the sins the others may have committed. Here, it should not be taken to mean that I’m in any way in favor of the MQM. Not in the least. In fact, I myself have been sternly opposed to its policy of coercion and resort to force and its gung-ho approach to dealing with even some of the trivial matters that otherwise could be resolved through dialogue and negotiation. All I’m trying to say is that it’s not fair to shift all the blame and pass the buck on MQM. As regards your point that MQM has been the coalition partner of PML-Q, I would like to ask you if there’s any harm in having done that. Isn’t it what you call politics? People who were once Jammatt-e-Islami bedfellows have now joined PML-N; people who once were staunch supporters of PPP have now coalesced with some other political party. So, politics is an altogether different ballgame, and, as you rightly said, smacks of utter hypocrisy and double standards. Again, for all this, is passing the buck on MQM justified? Anyways, it has been nice to interact with you. I hope my logical and rational arguments would have done enough to help you shed off the wrong perception you’ve developed about certain things. For further clarity on religion, politics and other sensitive issues, could we have a conversation on phone? You can see my number on the page.
October 6, 2008 at 6:07 am
Excuse me Madam Amna i think you have some personal argumetns with the MQM other wise there is nothing like it… anways if somebuddy force you to do like this so what you will do.. I mean of some one attack on you so what you will do for your own safety… this is the same whatever MQM did…. and let me know which party have’nt the weapons and so called AMMAAN COMMEITY… and its start from the Jamat-e-Islami and PPP and your BUZURG they will let you know the history of those party who took the armed force in the politics.. specialy Jamat-e-Islami (Jin ka Islam say koi WASTA hee nahi hay)
Dont mind and regads and one thing also i am not supporter of MQM i am just analayzing the TRUTH

Pakistan’ economy is sinking like the titanic and all this govt can do is wait and watch.Ruppee is about to touch 79 today against the dollar as a lot of business people including myself decide about their future in this country.Our Bank reserves have dropped down to 8.1 billion dollars ,a decline of around 680 million in just a week.Government borrowing has gone up by more than a 100% in the current fiscal year compared to the same period last year.. that too when govt promised that it would cut down its borrowing from the sbp.This is clearly an alarming situation for the business community in Pakistan ,we are not sure whether to keep our money in ruppees or buy dollars as some experts are predicting that ruppee will depreciate to 90 against the dollar in the coming weeks.The saudi oil facility has not materialized ,some reports are saying that saudis are not happy with the ouster of Musharraf.Friends of Pakistan conferrence has not produced anything meaningful …and with the our biggest provider of aid America in financial crisis and attacking us on our borders ,i think all hell is about to break lose here economically .I hope I am wrong and our economic situation does improve in the coming weeks.
October 6, 2008 at 7:41 am
Answer to Samad and others like them.
Musharraf did not elect to be the President. He was made President by chain of events initiated by the most stupid of all prime ministers’ in the history of Pakistan.
I am tired of people some how blaming the action, but forgetting the people who created the situations where people like Musharraf are forced to take actions which are not legal.
People condemn Musharraf for aligning Pakistan with the USA. Why are you not condemning Gilani and Zardari for doing the same.
Do you know why they are aligning with the USA, the reason is that every one in Power knows that the expectations and needs of the Pakistanis ( investment to create jobs, health technology for better health, strong defence i.e. armament for the army, ships for the navy, planes, engine parts, oil refineries, infrastructures aid (world bank, ADB, project loans and grants needed for the development of Pakistan) food aid in emergency situations and higher education, access to knowledge all flows from the western world and the tap of this reservoir is controlled by the USA.
Even the Saudis wont sell you oil on deferred payments unless USA allows it ( some muslim brotherhood this is).
Musharraf let it be known in plain language that this is the cause and its in our interest to befriend USA. He dreamt a future and took actions to provide that future for Pakistanis.
The politicians keep saying that they will solve our problems. They never give us a plan for a better future. They dont talk about creating a middle class. They dont talk about education, they dont talk about health, they dont talk about poverty eleviation, they are wasting time on acquiring power.
Musharraf delivered on every promise he made. Now people will say he didnt keep this or that political promise. I would submit that he did a lot in eight years in a country where in 1999 there were less than $300 million dollars in reserves, that the salaries had not been paid to teachers and governement employees salaries were in arrears. We were paying 4 billion dollars yearly in debt repayment. With no income. Everyone in Pakistan was selling their property and trying to leave for good as they had lost faith in a future where they could live and bring up their children in country with a future.
Musharraf gave that. Foreign investment started trickling in, and became a stream. Last year there was close to $7 billion dollars in foreign investments therefore, the Pakistanis didnt know that there was a trade deficit.
The government could go to financial markets and raise any money they wanted because the international financial instututions had faith in a future of Pakistan.
One year later, how things are different.. not because we have a president who is inter fail, or a prime minister who is more comfortable talking about indian movies actors than policy. Not because they dont have a enough elected people in their party who can hold portfolios and run ministries.
Not because the governement spends more time abroad and are running the country on a part time basis. I dont think it is also not because they dont even represent the aspirations of PPP or PML(N) PML is not in power so i am not including them.
Honestly, they were running the government for eight years and there was development all around and modernization all around. But then we are not judging parties on ability to deliver. We judge parties on ability to hold our interest, emotional and ethnic affiliations.
PML has to do the same… so Marvi has passion she doesnt reason, she accuses and she screams and she gets our attention.
Shujaat mumbles so we dont like him.
Musharraf was not elected by people, nor is zardari or Sharif.
The people in national assembly are 80% the same people as in the last national assembly. Then the question is how come such huge change in numbers. The members changed parties before elections or after elections. The same people who elected Musharraf have now elected Zardari and gilani. Why do people in general call this selection of the same people legitimate and that of Musharraf not so when the same tools (money, influence, promise of power) was used to get the vote.
Laughable… Lets move on…

Dear Ms. Marvi:
Hope you are fine. Please keep up the good work to save Pakistan. I have high regards for you and Presdient Pervez Musharraf. Pervez Musharraf is a man of honesty, integrity and perseverace. After leaders like Quaid-e-Azam, Liaquat Ali Khan and Allama Iqbal, Pakistan and the nation was once again blessed with a leader in the shape of Pervez Musharraf. He has said a number of practical sayings like “Courage needed to reconcile is far greater then confrontation.” For those who are using all their resources to mailne and defame you and Pervez Musharraf, I feel pity and have nothing to say to them but they are like “People derink sand beacuse they are not thirsty, they drink sand because they don’t know the difference”. I stand with you and Pervez Musharraf. Pakistan Zinda Baad.

I feel very despondant and wonder to see you arguing against america and its plocies .The memory of Pakistani people is not as weak as you think. How can we forget that you allowed american and NATO forces to make operation in FATA , Swat and Waziristan . Your ill policies led the country to this dangerous situation. When you are in the government you forget that you will have to be accoauntable before the sacred court of Allah Almighty where no one can deceive . Your so called leader (seller of people of pakistan including daughter of the land) Mr. Pervez Musharraf and his
collegues demaged pakistan due to erronous plocies . The nation will never forgive you .

Dear Marvi Memon,
I watch some programs where you spoke as a guest. Your statements and suggestions shows your understanding towards the gravity of problems which our country is facing.
I support your suggestion to add Arabic Language as a subject in education. Along with this, I would suggest you to add Chinese Language as a subject. By doing so, Pakistan would be able to have much stronger relations with out TURE Friend i.e. China, a country which has the fastest growing economy in the world.
If you have the same opinion, then please spread this suggestion on every platform. You can also present a bill in the parliament as well.
One more thing, please keep highlighting the name of Musharraf alive in positive fashion. Our great Hero!

Problem
“Terrorist Network is getting stronger in Punjab” Governor Awais Ahmad Ghani.
TALIBAN made their presence felt in Southern Punjab after letters were found threatening women that acid would be thrown at their faces if they did not wear veil. ( 31st July The Nation)
Solution: To counter terrorist networks in Pakistan is not difficult task. You don’t need rocket science to figure out its solution. Our Local Government System offers us its best solution. In near future we will have local governments elections, before these elections we need to bring few changes in it. My suggestion is that there should be a counter terrorism officer in every Union Council. This counter terrorism officer should not be an elected member rather he should be selected by elected body of UC for maximum four years. Govt should train these officers to get better results. (This solution can’t be applied on Tribal areas; this is only for settled areas)
Qualification of Counter Terrorism Officer
He (better He not She) should be a retired military personnel or served military for minimum 5 years.
He should be the resident of that particular UC for minimum 10 years.
His functions should be:-
He should have a proper record (including copy of NICs) of numbers of people living in his UC.
Not a single house can be sold or given on rent without bringing into his attention. For this he should coordinate with property dealers in his UC, it will help him to have information about owners and paying guests of his area.
He should coordinate with police station of his area.
If he spots any danger in his area he should inform higher authorities, higher authorities doesn’t mean police station, for this purpose ministry of Interior has to establish counter terrorism departments at district levels. This department should have a special anti terrorism squad with sophisticated weaponry and training. On information (more importantly conformation) of that counter terrorism officer, this squad should take a proper action.
To counter terrorism is very easy task especially when general people are against it and I am 100% sure that people of Pakistan are against it. I hope my suggestions will not go in vain.

Asalam Marvi Memon!
It is said that there are three types of people in a society, one: Conformist, second: Reformist and third: Rebel. Conformist and Rebel are the extremist elements of the society. Conformists are fossilized people, they are those people who contend with whatever the society offers them and they don’t strive for change. Unfortunately for Pakistan majority of its inhabitants are conformist. Let me admit, being a passive person I belonged to conformist group of this society coz I believed that whenever change comes it radicalize core structure of the society and radicalization brings deterioration, now I am a Reformist, credit goes to CJ Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudry and Penguin Revolution. I explained to you this grouping of the society because I want to bring your attention towards a colossal blunder which you guys such as Imran Khan, Marvi Memon, Faisal Qureshi and few more (enlightened reformists) are making. Fortunately I have been closely following you guys for quite a while and I have marked out a basic blunder in your noble movements to reform this society. The blunder which you guys are making is that you are targeting those people who are already Reformed. If they listen to you, write to you and “Follow You” then it means they are reformed, don’t waste your time on them just make them part of your solutions not your target. Can you please tell me how many rebels and conformists you have been able to reform?????????? 1, 2,, 3,4,5,6,……..1000…..? You think rebels and conformist are also listening to you, but believe me REBELS and CONFORMISTS don’t listen! one has to “make them listen”.
You need to tell rebels that stable change never comes with agitation or violence, it also doesn’t come rapidly, it’s a disciplined process and one needs to be very patient to bring about a stable change.
You need to tell Conformists that change is always “the best”, yes it deteriorates but deterioration is the first step of construction; remember the “Big Bang”!!!!!
Respectable MNA Marvi Memon! As you are one of proactive member or proactive legislative of our parliament I want to bring your attention towards a massive problem with our constitution. The problem is that our constitution is silent on accords or pacts which govts of Pakistan make with different countries and international organizations. In US constitution if president makes a pact or signs an agreement he requires Senate to approve the pact with 2/3 majority to promulgate it. If Senate disapproves certain pact it goes null and void. US senate has been practicing its veto power for a long time, in 1919 when Willson asked Senate to approve Versailles Treaty the Senate rejected his agreement and America couldn’t become member of League of Nations (League of Nations was brain child of Prez Willson and his own country was not its member). Recently our country is facing big incomprehension regarding different agreements made by past and present govts. Such as; US and Ex FM Qasuri claimed that Musharaf and his govt signed an agreement with US on limited operation inside our tribal belt but Musharaf denies it. Had our constitution given our parliament this power to approve or disapprove agreements then this confusion would have been avoided. I request you to move a bill which gives our parliament veto power on agreements and pacts.
Pros and Cons of this right
Pros:
It will make Parliament supreme in letters and spirit, superior than govt.
It will give ownership to a certain agreement.
There will be no confusion whether an agreement was signed or not.
It will give parliament power to keep an eye on foreign and defense policy.
Countries like US will not be able to blackmail our govts.
Cons:
Presenting and passing an agreement is very lengthy process, if both Houses of Parliament have to evaluate it then it will take long time to approve or disapprove it, this process can prove to be a set back for certain agreements and pacts which need swift execution.
Marvi Memon Sahiba, I want to join your “Solution Hunt”, in above paras I spotted a problem and gave you solution. I hope you will consider my humble request coz you are part of Parliament and parliament exercises its powers through its members. In future I will give you more solutions if you encourage me. You can have opinions on this issue through your write to Marvi memon page.

I was really shocked to know that you are a member of PML (Q), which is working under supervision of Pervez M or Ch. Shuja’at or Pervez I.

October 6, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Ms. Marvi,
We need to improve our technical education
I think people at times forget or fail to understand the importance of it.
So we need to build more technical schools
At current, there is a dept. in St. Patricks High School doing this job.
Another important issue is that hundreds of new private schools have opened in every nook and corner and nobody is keeping a check on them , i dont know how they get registered.
they dont have enough capacity , their teaching staff is poor , and they don’t even fulfill the basic demands.
a layman is unable to differentiate between these type of schools.
In this way kids are not getting the basics that a primary education should provide.
please look at this matter aswell as i already put this point before that only our education can improve the situation that we are facing now
Has the education minister appointed someone to solve these issues or will they still remain neglected

Hi Marvi
I appreciate the effort that you’re putting in here by making everything manifested. However I have a couplf of questions, which I would like you to answer:
1. Do you actually get paid to do the talkshows or is it pro bono work?
2. Since you have been attending quite a few iftar dinners and the like with President Musharraf, would you like to apprise us his welfare, what is he up to, what are his immediate and long term goals, what he plans to do next, etc.
The next time you meet President Musharraf please tell him there was someone by the name of ‘Jahangir’ who wanted to meet him badly during his Presidential reign but couldn’t due to a host of reasons. I would love to have a photograph with him some day, Insha Allah – can you make it happen? *please*
Warm regards and
keep up the good work

Msg for Jahangir
–
1- we certainly dont get paid to do talkshows. Its a mode of getting our political views across to the people.
2- President Musharraf is relaxing for now and is fine mashala.

Asalam-o-alaikum,
I am here just to say that I heard you and other ppl like several times on different news channel.
I wonder that all of you know each and every thing that what is in the intrest of pakistan and what is not, what is good for the ppl of pakistan and what is not. But when these all ppl including you come in power then why you forget all of ur speeches? Our country is standing no where. We feel embarasment when ppl say oh you are the ppl who are begging from the world..
But It is also good that you started you r web site. At least we common ppl can tell you abt our problems. Believe me we dont want money, we pakistani want respect and nothing else.
October 7, 2008 at 11:58 am
what are these people doing on the economic front?Pakistan is about go bankrupt..helloooo anybody out there? everybody is worried about their economy around the world these days..and they want to spend time talking about fata and a few stupid suicide bombers in the parliament?.
What happen to the privatization of some govt organizations like PSO,kapco and others?They cancelled 4 transactions in april,2008 just for poitical reasons which could have fecthed Pakistan 4 to 5 billion dollars .Why have nt
they gone to imf yet.what are the waiting for!?
This is shocking …look what happening to the ruppee ,its about to touch 81 in the open market,just yesterday it was trading at 78.8.
And Mr Zardari is asking for 100 billion dollar in aid from foreign countries ?is this guy on crack?may be he thinks foreign countries are like Sultan Rahi if they don’t give him money ,he can order their killing.All this guy is good for is making stupid statements and flirting with blondes..wow what a leader.
October 7, 2008 at 7:49 pm
SALAAM ALL MUSHARRAF SUPPORTERS,
Hope you all had a Happy Eid.Good to be back after Eid……
SHEHRYAR I HOPE U HAD ANOTHER SAD EID AS A SCUM LIKE U ALWAYS WILL…
I BET THE EX-SERVICEMEN SOCIETY DIDNT WANT TO TAKE A DUMB PERSON LIKE YOU ON BOARD…
You had no answers to what i said to you, you only replied back with rubbish and only rubbish as your full of that and your finding this forum to dash out your rubbish..
Morons like you are the biggest JAHILS AND LOW LIFEs of PAKISTAN…
This is site for Musharraf supporters and Marvi had done a geeat job so dont criticise her…keep your stupid and cheap remarks to yourself…
I would love to stay in the UK rather than come to a country which has retarted and scum bags like you, in this society people like you wouldn’t exist, you have no good arguement, you just post stupid and rubbish comments…
The facts are that your a picece of shit, a low life scum bag and the biggest UNPURH and JAHIL ever existed in Pakistan..
Its jahils like you who have made sure corrupt politicians and cluless people like xardari and nawaz come back into power again…
You have no life at all, you state your in the army but i doubt it your probably a low life scum sitting in front of the internet all day who has no one around him..You probably spent your eid spreading rubbish on the internt as well,sad that low lifes like you even get a chance to speak out….
EVERYONE WHOSE AGAISNT MUSHARRAF SHOULD GO TO A DIFFERENT SITE AS PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE HYPOCRITES…I HOPE AFTER MUSHARRAF THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT THE CLUSELSS ARE DOING GOOD FOR PAKISTAN AS THIS IS WHAT YOU EXPECTED…
JAHIL AND UNPURH LIKE SHEHARYAR DESERVED TO BE GOVERNED BY THE LIKES OF ZARDARI…..
SHEHARYAR THE RETATED TOY SOLDIER GO CLEAN MUSHARRAFS BOOTS WHICH YOU USE TO………
SAJJAD…………
October 7, 2008 at 8:19 pm
SHEHARYAR DUMMY SOLDIER
Its funny and cracks me up to see your reply as a JAHIL and UNPURH shouldnt call others the same…
Youre anchesters were from INDIA and Prob HINDUS so why don’t you go back to INDIA U HINDU AGENT…
Modern Islamic State HAHAHA with people like you it will be a Taliban state you MORON LOW LIFER…
Kasuri admitted because MUSHARRAF DID ALLOW THEM ACCESS which is fine, if we can use the AMERICAN Technology to target Al-Qaeda so be it, if its hard for our soldeirs(SOME R USELESS LIKE U) to get to a certain cave than let the Americans Strike with MUSHARRAFS permission…So the Americans were allowed to strike a few times a year when they asked MUSHARRAF first in a no go area like WAZIRISTAN where even the Pakistan army was not allowed to enet than fine atleast Musharraf had a clear policy..not like the present jokers who say no one can strike us and the same day the Americans strike and kill so many..
SHEHARYA AND OTHER DUMN JOKERS R U BLIND TO SEE THAT UNDER MUSHARRAF WAS NEVER TARGETED 10 TIMES A WEEK, UNDER MUSHARRAF AMERICANS DIDNT STEP FOOT ON OUR SOIL, WITH UR DUMNESS ARE YOU BLIND AS WELL…
The army which hates Musharraf still continue to host him in the ARMY HOUSE and still follow his policies in FATA, THE STUPID BRAINLESS CREEP LIKE SHEHARYAR ARE U TOO CONFUSED???IS IT BECAUSE U HAD A CHILDHOOD WERE U WERE SOFTNED UP BY UR UNCLES OR SOMETHING…UR CLEARLY MENTAKKY RETARTED BY THE ABUSE SO SUFFERED IN PAKISTAN FROM UR UNCLES OR THE ARMY…HAHAHAH
I WOULD SUGGEST THAT SHEHARYAR U SHOULD GO IN THE ARMY HOUSE AND CLEAN MUSHARRAFS BOOOTS AS HE MISSES THE WAY U USED TO SHINE HIS SHOES IN THE ARMY……………..
October 7, 2008 at 9:05 pm
I SUGGEST WE ALL STOPPING BEING HYPOCRITES..
MARVI HAS GIVEN EVERYONE A CHANCE TO GIVE THEIR VIEWS ON THIS SITE, DO YOU KNOW ANY OTHER POLITICIAN WHO HAS DONE THAT..????
THE PEOPLE WHO DIDNT BRING BACK THE PML-Q AND THEREFORE MUSHARRAF HAD TO GO AS WELL…LOOK AT THE CURRENT SITUATION…TELL ME ANYTHING WHICH HAS GONE POSITIVE IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS, ITS A LONG TIME TO FIX PROBLEMS…
ITS THE PRESENT GOVERNMENTS TACTICS TO TAKE SO LONG ON FORMING A COALITION IT WASNT THE IDEA OF MUSHARRAF…
WHILEST THE TOOOK SO LONG FORGING FAKE COALITIONS THE ECONOMY WHICH NEEDED ATTENTION WAS SUFFEREING…
CANT PEOPLE SEE THE CRISIS HAVE WORSENED IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS, UNDER MUSHARRAF YOU HAD THE MAIN PROBLEM OF SUICIDE BOMBINGS BUT DESPITE THAT FOREIGN INVESTORS WERE COMING TO PAKISTAN AND THE ECONOMY WAS STILL GOING GOOD, BUT NOW U STILL HAVE THE SUICIDE BOMBING ISSUE AND THE SITUATATION LOOKS MORE WORSE BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT WHO SHOULD’VE POINTED FEW PEOPLE TO CONCENTRATE ON THE FINANCE MINISTRY SPENT TIME IN DUBAI AND THE UK INSTEAD…CAN NO ONE SEE THAT…OR R WE ALL GONE BLIND BECAUSE WE HAVE DEVELOPED A GRUDGE AND HATRED AGAINTS THE LAST GOVERNMENT…..
LOW LIFERS LIKE SHAHARYAR NEED TO WAKE UP AND NOT LIVE A SAD LIFE UNTIL THEY EXIST..LOOK AT THE REALITIEAS…
WHAT CIVILISED SOCIETY WOULD BRING BACK CORRUPT LEADERS LIKE ZARADRI ONCE AGAIN..
WHAT CIVILISED SOCIETY EXPECTS THEIR LEADERS TO LIVE ABRAOD WHILST THE ECONOMY NEEDS URGENT ATTENTION…
WHAT EDUCATED SOCIETY WOULD ALLOW THEIR MINISTERS WHO ARE ALREADY NOT COMPETENT ENOUGH TO HAVE THREE OR FOUR MINISITRIES WHILST THEY CANNOT EVEN HANDLE ONE…
WHAT SOCIETY WOULD LIKE THEIR LEADER TO REPRESENT THEM IN THE UN AND TALK ABOUT HIS WIFE AND CARRY A PICTURE OF HER..
WHAT SOCIETY CAN LET THEIR LEADERS FLURT WITH FEMALE LEADERS WHILST THEY STILL MORN THE DEATH OF THEIR WIFE…
WHAT SOCIETY REJECTS DEVELOPMENT WORK DONE BY A PREVIOUS GOVERNMENT AND SELECTS PEOPLE WHO AHVE LOOTED THEM…
WHAT SOCIETY STANDS UP FOR CRIMINALS AND TERRORISTS WHO HAVE THE LATEST WEAPONS AND WANT TO IMPLEMENT THEIR OWN VERSION OF ISLAM…
ONLY A SOCIETY FULL OF SAD LOW LIFE, MORONS, RETARTED FREAKS, JAHILS LIKE SHEHARYAR THE TOY SOLDIER…..THATS WHY PAKISTAN IS WHERE IT IS TODAY AFTER 60 YEARS…THAT TELLS ALOT ABOUT HOW INTELLIGENT PEOPLE LIKE SHEHARYAR ARE…
SHEHARYAR APNI UKAAAAT NA BHOOOL….YEH NA HO K B4 U KNOW U GET TAUGHT THE LESSON OF UR LIFE…UKAAAT MAIN REH UKAAAT MAIN………..
October 7, 2008 at 9:35 pm
PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE UP AS THEIR HYPOCRACY AND JAHILNESS IS WORSENING PAKISTANS SITUATION….
THE LAST GOVERNMENT IS LONG GONE, SHAUKAT AZIZ LEFT IN NOVEMBER 2007 WITH THE GOVERNMENT AND DURING THEIR TIME PAKISTAN SAW THE BEST ECONOMY EVER, FACTS WHICH THE INDEPENDENT OBSERVERS POINT OUT…
THE PREVIOUS GOVERNMENT TOOK SOLID STANDS AND MADE THEIR POLICIES CLEAR ON BALUCHISTAN, FATA AND LAL MASJID..THE RIGHT STEPS WERE TAKEN BUT AS THEY INVOLVED THE ARMY AND BLOODSHED THEY WERE NOT POPULAR DECISONS BUT WERE THE RIGHT ONES…AS WE CAN STILL SEE THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT AND ARMY FOLLOWING MUSHARRAFS FOOTSTEPS IN FATA…
THE LAWYERS WERE THE TURNING POINT IN THE LAST GOVERNMENTS BAD IMAGE, BUT THEY HAVE NOT ACHIEVED ANYTHING OTHER THAN DESTABILISING PAKISTAN….THE RESULTS ARE PROVEN…TO BE FAIR TO THEM THEY CAUSED ALOT OF DAMAGE TO PML-Q AND MUSHARRAF BUT AS A WHOLE THEY DAMAGED PAKISTAN FURTHER…THE RESULT IS EVIDENT THAT THE 16 MONTH MOVEMENT RUNNING AROUND THE JUDGES, STRIKES,PROTESTS…WERE DAMAGING THE ECONOMY AND HAS LED TO NOTHING EXCEPT THE SAME JUDGES THEY WERE FIGHTING FOR HAVE ACCEPTED ZARDARIS OFFER AND RETURNED TO THEIR POSTS….AND HERE WE WERE BEING DECEIVED AGAIN THAT THE LAWYERS HAVE RESTORED THE JUDICIARY AND PAKISTAN WILL HAVE A HONEST JUDICIAL SYSTEM….
October 8, 2008 at 1:08 am
ALSO SHEHARYAR THE BRAINDEAD…
Atleast people like Marvi and her father ahve contributed postively in Pakistani politics.Specially Marvi having her own website where even JAHILS like you can leave you dumn comments and also the shadow cabinet idea is a good one so keep your filthy and stupid comments away from her….
You need to look at yourself in the mirrior even the army threw you out because you couldn’nt even shine shoes properly what idea can you come out with…lol…WELL YOU GOT NO BRAIN CELLS…..
So well done Marvi for your hard work, for your ideas and appearing on talkshows and tirelessly working for the solutions to Pakistans problems and also thanks for allowing BRAIN DEAD PEOPLE LIKE SHEHARYAR to leave comments as such individuals are low lifers and have no where to go in society except finding sites like yours and leaving their dirt on here….
GO GET A LIFE SHEHARYAY….U REJECTED MEMBER OF THE EX-SERVICEMEN SOCIETY AND U SHOE SHINER OF MUSHARRAF……………….
October 8, 2008 at 4:25 am
AMAZINGLY STUPID PEOPLE……
So many people especially a few KHUR DAMAAG FAUJI who recently were rejected from EX-SERVICEMEN SOCIETY are coming and leaving the most amazingly stupid comments, people like Sheharyar and other few retired army no hopers who served under Musharraf are suddenly coming out and barking like bulldogs..
It’s funny and very strange that people have gone too blind in their ignorance and in their JAHILANA THINKING…
ITS GOOD THAT ZARDARI IS PAKISTANS PRESIDENT BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT PEOPLE DESERVE, A JAHIL TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF SO MANY JAHILS….SOUNDS FINE…
A Man in uniform brings so many changes to a country which was going down hill and which so many civilian DICTATORS that even the liberal and democratic personalities like MUSHARRAF are called dictators just because they have a uniform on.
Perhaps if the so called democratic forces of Nawaz and PPP were good enough and had democracy within their parties and worked for the country rather than their families and perhaps if they tolerated the MEDIA,JUDICIARY, POLICE, PEOPLE and their own party members when they were in power than probably any army general would never come to power…
But as we saw MR NAWAZ SHARIF despite winning tow third majority bulldoze the JANG GROUP, THE JUDICIARY, THE MEDIA and even the COAS what else did we expect than another coup…
I think people who just call MUSHARRAF A DICTATOR because he was in uniform but fail to see his achievements that he achieved more for democracy than the civilian dictators are BLIND WITHIN THEMSELVES, THEY ARE THE UNPURH JAHILS, THE ILLITERATES AND MUFAAD PURUSTS……..
Under the DICTATOR MUSHARRAF you had a democracy which gave us:
1. LOCAL LEVEL GOVERNMENTS LIKE THE NAZIMS, mostly positives came out of this as people had someone at local level to listen and solve their problems, I know allot of places where the nazims carried out a lot of development work…
2. VOTING AGE, under the dictator the youth was empowered the voting age was brought back from 21 to 18..i’m sure some JAHILS LIKE SHEHARYAR WOULD SAY THATS NOT TRUE…but dogs carry on barking
3. MORE WOMEN RIGHTS BILLS PASSED
4. WOMENS RESERVE SEATS INCREASED IN PARLIAMENT
5. MINORITIES SEATS INCREASED IN PARLIAMENT
6. LOCAL ELECTIONS TOOK PLACE TWICE
7. ASSEMBLIES COMPLETED THEIR 5 YEAR TERM
8. FUNDS INCREASED FOR ALL PROVINCES SPECIALLY BALUCHISTAN
9. OVER 70 TV CHANNELS???? OVER 70?? WHERE PEOPLE LIKE HAMID MIR AND OTHERS CAN CHAT SHIT ABOUT MUSHARRAF NON-STOP.
The above are some steps a DICTATOR took which the civilian DEMOCRACY COULDN’T TAKE….
Now just because someone has a uniform on doesn’t mean he can’t work for democracy because President MUSHARRAF did more than the likes of Nawaz and Zardari..
So have NAWAZ and Zardari got democracy in their parties? Certainly not…ZARDARI governs from DUBAI and NAWAZ governs from LONDON…at least MUSHARRAF governed from ISLAMABAD…
The only issue the vast majority of the corrupted illiterates can’t forget are LAL MASJID, FATA AND LAWYERS….
LAWYER’s lets not even start as they are no where to be seen now and ZARDARI has handled them well, only issue where Musharraf lacked…
FATA AND LAL MASJID are national security issues and shouldn’t be politicised, if that was MUSHARRAF’S policy than why does the government and army still follow it?????If they think it was a wrong policy than simple withdraw all your forces from FATA and let the TALIBAN AND AL-QAEDA do what they feel like, whats the problem, IT REALLY IS THAT SIMPLE..If the government and the army don’t withdraw from FATA than it means MUSHARRAF WAS RIGHT, SIMPLE AS THAT..BUT THAN AGAIN IT’S NOT SIMPLE FOR FAGUTTS LIKE SHEHARYAR AND THE EX-SERVICEMEN SOCIETY…..
After seeing the situation in Pakistan it becomes obvious that people deserve the likes of ZARDARI as this is according to their intelligence level…
Theirs TWO things the PPP AND NAWAZ LEAGUE CRITICISED MUSHARRAF AND PML-Q ON:
1-ECONOMY
2-WAZIRISTAN
1- ECONOMY – -A progressive and stable economy of Musharraf was seen as a bankrupt economy by the present government and perhaps the people..SO WHAT HAS HAPPENED NOW..IT HAS GONE WORSE AND WORSE BECAUSE AS PEOPLE VOTED WRONG AGAIN AND BROUGHT IN A GOVERNMENT WHICH IS TOTALY USELSS THEY HAVE EMERGED AS STRONG CANDIDATES TO BANKRUPT PAKISTAN RATHER THAN FIXING THE PROBLEMS THEY USE TO POINT OUT….
2-WAZIRISTAN–THIS WAS MADE A BIG ISSUE BY THE PPP AND PML-N..THEY WON ELECTIONS ON THIS BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY ARE ELECTED?? THEY COME FACE TO FACE WITH THE REALITY AND A POLICY OF MUSHARRAF WHICH THEY NEVER LIKED ALL OF A SUDDEN IS BEST FOR THE COUNTRY……………NEVER YOU HAVE ALL THE GOVERNMENT WORKING ON TELLING THE PEOPLE THAT THE ISSUE WE CRITICISED MUSHARRAF FOR WAS INFACT RIGHT FOR US AND ITS IN PAKISTANS INTEREST TO FIGHT WITH AL-QAEDA AND TALIBN IN WAZIRISTAN..HOW IRONIC…..
SO the outcome is that the ECONOMY which MUSHARRAF WAS HANDLING THE RIGHT WAY THE PRESENT LOOSERS CANT EVEN GET THEIR STATEMENST RIGHT ON IT and the issue of WAIRISTAN WHICH MUSHARRAF GOT RIGHT SINCE 2003 THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT WILL FOLLOW THE SAME POLICIES AND STEPS AFTER CRITICISING IT AND WASTING TIME ON IT FOR SO LONG…
SO INTELLIGENCE CLEARLY SHOWS MUSHARRAF WAS A DIFFERENT CLASS WHAT MUSHARRAF SAW 5 YAERS BACK THE PRESENT NO HOPERS ARE SLOWLY REALISING AND THE STUPID BRAINLESS PEOPLE WHO STILL CRITICISE MUSHARRAF WILL SOON REALISE AS WELL……
MUSHARRAF ALWAYS ZINDABAD
PAKISTAN PAINDABAD

Kindly moderate the comments made by some members. I feel some people are playing it way below their expected levels. Let’s just be constructive for a change and have criticism in a positive manner.
Using words like unparh, jahil, etc wont help solve our problems. Please have some decency within your ranks. Request Ms. Marvi to moderate accoirdingly and ban some members who violate them.
Thanks and Peace

wow sajjad’s tirade against me reminded of dog.Man’s best friend.sajjad is truly musharraf’s best friend.however dog remains dog,despite being man’s best friend.sajjad the emotional retard people like you never learn and never reach anywhere.and your bak bak resembles barking more than anything.you retard you talk of musharraf’s democratic nature.i will answer your half hearted false claims because after that you need to go through a neuro procedure.
1. women rights: a man who called mukhtar mai an oppurtunist, not even having any comapssion for a rape victim..if this is your idea of women rights sajjad the retard then i guess you have rabbies.
2.reserved women seats: reserved seats have only served as a tool to favor people who have no public standing.awarding punjab seat to a woman from sindh speaks volume of the spirit behind the act.get it retardo.no get yourself vaccinated.
3.assemblies completed their five year term because they were his personal domain.it was anassembly that was ready to elect that man second time.despite having no mandate.listen to what gen ehtesham says about 2002 elections.moron sajjad the retard from uk.stay there you good for nothing shit.
4.fund for balochistan and operation to eliminate all opposition as well thus pushing the province to the brink of civil war.get it .i am sure not.beacuse you lack sense like all faithful mutts.
5.70 channels that were all closed when that criminal took illegal steps of imposing emergency.bcos he believed in freedom of speech.hahaha.joke of the century.but joker dogs like you would never accept that retard sajjad.
pakistan’s biggest enemy are people.oh sorry mutts like you who are trying to tell ppl that they have to choose between musharraf and zardari..whereas we can get rid of all of them..i would really apprecite if someone can takethis reatrd doggy of musharraf to some vet..you have the nerve to call army ppl khali dimagh and i am sure you are some down graded servant of goras..doing some menial job there ..washing toilets,delivering pizzas or taking gora dogs for walk and you have the nerve to call PAK ARMY khali dimagh.just stay there are bark as much as you can sajjad the retard..lolz barking dogs seldom bite..and even if they do its not their fault.they are dogs after all. and yes marvi if you decide to censor my post then please do take a look at sajjad’s post before doing that.regards(not for you retardo)
October 8, 2008 at 11:09 am
well sajjad sure knows what musharraf misses so much..are you his keep..sajjad the retard and from what you write it is quite apparent who is shinning musharaff’s shoes..hahhaha.you and your ancestors..lagta hai nahar wali haveli se he musharraf ke personal khadim hain..you lack dignity and grace..i am so sorry that i have to communicate with a person as downgraded as yourself..its my misfortune..but still i would love to kick your backside to your home..retardo..goron ke naukar…i think your lonely musharraf would really appreciate your comapny..who doesnot like shoe polishers and lickers like you retard…wether i was abused or not but you sure were given some good time by your uncle mushy..that is why you are repaying him…now i know why you are so fond of him..
October 8, 2008 at 11:15 am
hey marvi.i want to tell you that you are doing a great job.keep up the good work.by the way i read some remarks from sajad.this is utterly uncalled for.how can you allow such things on this forum.i request you to throw out such rubbish.decent people use this space.i hope you would keep attending more talk shows so we can get to know about the progress you are making.best of luck
October 8, 2008 at 11:18 am
oyee musharraf ke wafdar janwar.himat hai tou pakistan aa ker pakistan ki fauj ko khali dimagh keh ker dikha.ehsaan faramosh kuttay.army ne is mulk ke liye kia nahi kiya.iss liye takay hum tum jaise bhagoron ki bakwas sun sakain.tamam muhib-e-watan log please is pagal ko jawab dain.
October 8, 2008 at 11:24 am
hi marvi.please ban people like sjad.he has no manners.i am sure now sheryar would come up with something abusive.i think this is bad for this forum.
October 8, 2008 at 11:27 am
ukaat tu apni na bhool sajjad..musharraf ke zaati ghulam.more loyal than the king..tu yahan aa phir tujhe yeh soldier teri ukaat bata hai..impotent dog of musharraf
October 8, 2008 at 1:01 pm
hahaha guess what our beloved finance minister Naveed Qamar got fired.Shaukat Tareen is now our new finance minister.So the government has admited that they have been doing a poor job of looking after the economy.they may as well bring back Salman Shah whos still the best out there.he could do a much better job than these politically motivated finance ministers.
State Bank has taken a long time to react to the recent meltdown of ruppee,they ‘ve just injected 100 million dollars into the interbank ,they should’ve done this yesterday.they allowed rumors to circulate around that govt was ready to freeze foregin currency accounts and what not. foreign exhange companies stopped selling dollars and forced people to pay more than they should ve for foreign currency.the difference between interbank rate and open market rate went too high. unless there is some aid coming from somewhere there will continue to be pressure on the ruppee because our exports are expected to decline to0 with imports in teh coming days with the slowdown in america and europe
October 8, 2008 at 1:45 pm
woof woof..who’s there? sajjad!
October 8, 2008 at 1:51 pm
hey diseased sajjad what society allows a man to install an unelected man as prime minister you thick headed retard
what society allows a man to allow foreigners to target ppl in his own country you b–hair–t.
what society allows a man to impose emergency twice just to save his own rule you dirt bag
what society allows a man to pardon all thieves on his personal whims.you stupid mutt..hey sajjad the mad biting dog..haan?
October 8, 2008 at 1:55 pm
hello ms marvi.there is a lot of indecency on your website.can you please tell this moronic sajjad to stop being over enthusiastic about Ex-president.it appears as if he is employed by the general.i personally think that we need to get rid of people like zardari and gillani.they are doing nothing for this nation.
October 8, 2008 at 2:02 pm
shut up sajjd.you also big mouth like your mushraf.improve your knowledge about this country then come to discus.he was a dictator and a corrupt man.his son is funding obama’s campaign.where did he get so much money from.and he is living in a big farm house.army dont give so much money.this proves he is corrupt.MUSHRAF MURDABAD AUR MUSHRAF K CHAMCHAY(SAJJAD)HAI HAI
October 8, 2008 at 5:01 pm
I am equally dissapointed with the indecent brawl that takes place on my forum. When I moderate I get attacked for cutting on freedom of speech. It seems that most of you want me to moderate these two gentlemen. So maybe I should. Interestingly when one of them writes on my gmail account direct its no brawl its solutions. Anyway, no more low level hits at each other pls. Just solutions.

——
have burnt with anxiety through the last couple of years, helplessly watching things getting out of the hands of Musharraf and your party.
Nobody need tell you the reason, but I strongly believed the situation could easily be turned round. It had to be done at any cost!
I am forwarding to you one of my mails to Ahmad Qureshi during those last days of Musharraf, to give you a better picture of what my point of view is.
Ahmad! Just tell me when we can meet. There’s so much to talk about. And all just for Pakistan!
Beyond Musharraf and politics. Time is running out.
As for the President, he always needed an entirely different public face to be “people’s president”. And if his media team
really had any competence, conviction or sense of loyalty, they must have failed to educate him on media matters or persuade
the headstrong boss to learn a few tricks about wielding the media, a Frankenstein Musharraf created and championed with great pride
but never seriously saw the need to teach and tame this reckless, brainless beast. Anyhow, if the President can now be receptive for a change,
and malleable enough, we can still teach him how to enamor the public and win them over, using this very media to our advantage!!.
This is the last hope of turning the tables on all his opponents.
Playing on the public sentiment, Dr Qadeer or Bush or Ch. Iftikhar, each can easily be manipulated as pawns for a double win… rescuing the President
and guaranteeing a Pakistan we would like to have for your son and mine.
President’s star voice must be heard loud above the clamour of the front row rowdies. So he has no choice now but to shift to the badly needed offensive mode,
to have any meaningful impact. And he has to talk to the people from a higher moral ground. Be proactive and not reactive or defensive. It’s he, versus the dim-witted, self-seeking, incorrigible political platoon of mischief mongers, riding the shoulders of hired, headless, unprincipled, avaricious, bullying
media mafia. As you know, they need to be humbled and reined in, not just in our country but everywhere, in true spirit of democracy, to break loose their
stranglehold on public rights and resources.
A person like Musharraf coming into power was sheer coincidence or at the most a highly rare possibility. There’s little chance this can come about through the
prevalent election process, given the psychographics of Pakistani voters and the country’s political culture. So this was a stroke of luck and a chance for Pakistan
to get a jump start and take a leap of a half century or more towards progress and development.
Ahmad, the President stands for a fast-track approach to Pakistan’s bright future.
The ignorance, myopia, insanity of the vociferous majority must not be allowed to prevail!
BOTTOM LINE: Media ( primarily television) is the key to achieving our goals that need immediate attention. Again, TV is crucial to run a strategic multi-pronged long-running action plan.
I’ll continue with more details.

Marvi,
It was brifed to the Standing Committee of Senate on Defence by the Secretary Defence that Pakistan cannot live with further sanctions.
He was quite correct on one side as far as we base our colony-ization with USA & UK. On the other side we can have a good relaionship with Iran.
Basic problem of Pakistan’s economy is its standing on fuel and oil rather power. Once the Oil prices are high, it escalates overall prices.
Iran is rich in oil. Balochistan has been using Iranian Oil for a long time when the pice of oil was nearly 40-50 in the rest of Pakistan and it was being sold in some parts of Balochistan for 20-25. This whole thing can be formalized. The other thing we can do is that we can work out more rigorously on the alternative energy solutions. I know a couple of professionals who are ready to work for the homeland and present solutions.
We need charasmatic leaders now. We donot need anyone saying ” I have’nt got a magic stick”, if you havent got he magic stick then why are you the President of Pakistan. We represent masses, we need results. Either empower us or do it yourself.

a point I want to make about a news item i posted earlier which said ‘this govts borrowing has gone up by 100 billion at a time of high inflation and that too after promising the sbp that they won’t do it.Well our new finance minister has just admited to that…hes come out strongly against this govts irresponsible borrowing and has made it clear that he won’t allow this anymore..lets see if he follows up on that…my big question is where has this money gone?,we need to know what happens to every single penny that is borrowed!
again it goes to show that Economy has not been a big issue to this govt and it has taken a back seat to politcal ambitions,infact they have been willing to hurt the economy of this country to score political points….now that they have screwed up the economy,they are are going around the world to ask for bheek.i hope they do get that otherwise Pakistan will go bankrupt

Dear Ms Marvi,
Not being completely sure that you’ll get this mail, let me just briefly tell the purpose of getting in touch with you,
which obviously relates to your public and political role. I am a media professional and social enterpreneur.
I understand the pragmatism, the psychological benefit and the historical wisdom of
being rooted to one’s geo-cultural territory. This translates into holding one’s country as dearly and desperately as a lifeline.
I see a possibility of our joining forces to actualize the change that Pakistan so badly needs. If you write back, I’ll share with you some
substantial ACTIONS towards this end.
Warm regards.
Ahmad Nadeem

Working for a Safer Pakistan
I will not go into too much detail as I will need more time and in depth research. But just to outline the main points for you Marvi I will as interior minister take the following steps:
· Call a high rank meeting with all the police chiefs from all provinces and major cities such as Lahore, Islamabad Karachi and others.
· I will asses the situation of the basic problems at lower level policing, I will request reports on the problems the police face and the lack of the resources. After meeting with all the concerned I will ask for an action plan from them on the improvements we need to make and than suggest my improvements.
Firstly I will request the federal government for a huge increase in the police budget without this we cannot go anywhere.
Major Changes which I would be starting for the POLICE and protecting our cities in more detail…..
· CCTV Cameras to be installed in all major towns and slowly all over Pakistan
· All major government and multi-National Company buildings to have bollards erected around them and cameras installed
· If any important building is on a major road than one lane infront of the building not be used by public
· Each major hotel and building need to have two massive and solid gates and barriers at a good distance to each other only after proper clearance form one barrier the vehicle to be allowed to pass the second
· All mini trucks and big trucks to be checked before entering the city specially entering a major security zone
· All illegal people in a city specially beggers to be registered or moved
· Certain areas where potential terrorists can reside to be identified
· Special undercover police and patrolling to increase in major towns during day
· Regular checking of vehicles at night, regular checks for fake number plates
· All cars need to be registered and have tracker devices fitted in
· Special police units to be set up to focus on foot patrolling and police presence in major public areas
· Police to organise and give green signal for major events taking place
· No protests or demonstrators allowed during working days as our security and economy cant afford disruptions
· Any political gathering or protest to be staged on a non working day at a specified location preferably indoors or within a walled area
Policing
· First of all massive pay increase in all ranks all over Pakistan
· Fingerprint Machines to be kept at all major police stations
· Equipped them with advance weaponry
· Better and faster vehicles, get rid of all pick-ups which are not safe
· Less police in police stations more patrolling on the streets
· Latest wireless sets and police stations equipped with computers and finger print taking machines.
· Recruit more police
· We need re-training of police in terms of their educational training:
· To improve their professionalism
· To teach them the basic skills they can use in their day to day duties like using fire extinguishers, working closer with communities, friendly attitude, speaking manners
· Enough Police available to provide security to people on their doorsteps
· Educated people to be given key positions
· Their promotion has to be linked with their performances
· Each police stations to be ranked and given more grants and pay rises according to their performances
· SP, DSP and other major ranks should not be allowed to come under any influence of the local powerful and rich people in making decisions, the law has to be followed whether dealing with rich or poor
· The uniform of the police needs changing from the old backdated one to a better well coloured and better material, this is very important for self confidence, a uniform which makes an officer look smart and improves their personalities, the doted black shirts and khaki trousers are not attractive at all, they even further damage the police. So, good material and different colour to be used for their shirt and trouser
· No more carrying of the long wooden sticks, as we are all humans and ourt police need to treat us humans and not hold sticks as if they are dealing with animals, so the sticks have to go
· Bullet proof jackets to be worn at all times at all cost and everywhere, as a lot of police officers are at risk of flying bullets and attacks from unknown people
· Police need to be taught discipline of how to move around when patrolling and even at events like a cricket match. Standing together in large numbers, holding hands, tilting on each other, talking and doing gupshup will not be allowed. More professional approach needed, need to spread out as standing in a group is a visible and easy target for suicide bombers and other attackers, gupshup, standing too close, tilting on each other and holding hands is a serious non professional and non educational issues which effect their security skills.
· In all major cities like Lahore , Karachi a close eye needs to be kept on people and cars entering the city, regular checks need to be carried out specially at night time, close eye needs to be put on areas where criminals and terrorists are likely to reside, the flow and display of weapons need to be prohibited
· Police need to shut down unnecessary shops selling weapons specially those selling without licenses
· Police need to be given special orders on checking shops or factories and other places which sell any item which helps in assembling a bomb, all the shops doesn’t matter how many they are need to be registered with the police and any shop selling any item which can help in making a bomb need to be questioned and take all the necessary ID details from the buyer.
Police needs reforming, pay increase and benefit increase, new equipment in terms of weapons and cars will motivate them together with their re-training to be more professional and more educated.
Once a strong police force is in place a lot of local level problems and even terrorism can be kept a close eye on. Police need to be professional in identifying the problems and need to be capable in taking their own initiatives and implementing their own security plans.
Controlling Al-Qaeda and Western Border
Immediately without any delay we need to:
· Send more army on the western border to an extent that the border with Afghanistan is sealed to an extent that is possible, seal the border and don’t worry about any criticism from the Mullahs. You can’t target Taliban when they can easily cross over the border and come back and regroup gain so SEAL THE BORDER COMPLETELY.
· The army needs to spread out in FATA specially places like SWAT, talk to terrorists if they give up than fine, but if they don’t than go after them relentlessly without giving them more deadlines and until they are wiped out. NO COMPROMISE ON THIS.
· Spread the army on the borders of the settled areas and the FATA region, check the inflow and outflow in each area.
· Look for potential areas specially in Southern Punjab where terrorist are hiding and have enough followers and support
· Need to target all banned outfits which are now operating under a different name
· Specially order need to be passed on to the Nazims of each village and the police of each area to keep a close eye out on any activity which raised their suspicions
· People all over Pakistan need to observe their neighbours and should inform the police if they have any doubts about any activity going on
· No one should be allowed to give out any literature which is encouraging Jihad and hatred against any other
Maddrassahs and Mosques
· We should not hesitate, with the help of peaceful citizens start closing down maddrassah’s who only teach the QURAN as teaching only the Quran is radicalising young people and they can easily be turned into suicide bombers.
· Nazims and local village elders hould be given the task on inspecting maddrassas and what they are teaching
· From local level the unnecessary building of maddrassahs hould be stopped, different maddrassahs for different sects should not be allowed within sight of each other
· Madrassah should register itself
· It should not advocate hatred for others
· All education should be compulsory in a madrassah both DEENI AND DUNYAWI
· Any madrassah just bent on teaching the QURAN can do so on evening class basis or on the weekened, no madrassh should be allowed to get young kids to stay their learning the Quran and nothing else all their lives, they are taking their future away from them and only giving them one option of becoming a extremist maulvi who grows up and spreads hatred everywhere
· The source of the funding should be the government if not than the source of the funding should be known to the local government representatives
· The planning permission should be taken from the local government or local villagers before building the madrassah
· Any madrassah spreading hatred against anyone should be closed down
· Any mosque spreading hatred against any other sect or person should be told to stop doing so
· Spread of too many mosques and madrassah should be stopped as they are mostly empty and most are built to spread hatred against each other
· So any mosque or any madrassah’s which spreads hatred against anyone and any madrassah’s which only teaches the QURAN warn it and if they don’t comply than close it. NO COMPROMISE.
VIP & GUN CULTURE
· No VIP movement in any town including ISLAMABAD, it has to stop
· No one displaying a gun in public. NO ONE MEANS NO ONE. Gun only allowed if it is licensed and the person has it for self-protection. Even for self-protection it needs to be hidden under the jacket or waist coat or shirt or blazer BUT STRICTLY NO DISPLAY OF WEAPONS IN ALL PAKISTAN EVEN THE TRIBAL AREA.
· No extra police manpower to be deployed for VIP movement or political rallies
Above is just an outline to show you, it requires more time to explain in detail but it’s an outline and it will work.

A word or 2 about the war on terror ..there is way too much rhetoric out there in the media regarding ‘the war on terror’…when Mush was in power the rhetoric was its all Musharrafs’ fault,musharraf this ,musharraf that.All these idiots from Afsand yar wali to politicians of ppp were blaming Musharraf for terrorism. And when they came into power they announced that talibans were angels from heaven and we should not fight them,so they decided to sign peace deals with them..but what happened?all these peace deals were violated and now they are being forced to do what Musharraf was doing,but only more vigorously.
Now the media has turned against them too the same way it turned against Musharraf for fighting this war.They are saying ‘oh this is not our war’ why are we fighting america’s war?.
A simple answer to that is ..DO WE WANT TO ALLOW SAFE HAVENS IN OUR COUNTRY FOR TALIBAN AND AL-QAEDA? because thats exactly why we are fighting this war,talibans and al-qaeda want safe havens in Pakistan.Do you think Musharraf just woke up one day and decided to send forces to Waziristan for no good reason as Imran Khan would have you believe.If we allow
safe haves for taliban and al-qaeda then we would be playing the same role as Taliban was playing for AL-qaeda before 9/11.
And it just does’nt end there,talibans just dont want a safe haven in Pakistan ,they want to impose shariah law in Pakistan…apeal to the religious bigotory out there in our culture as theres plenty of it and de-stablizie Pakistan as a result.What happened in Lal Masjid could easily happen again in another Mosque In Pakistan ,and if it starts happening again and again in more Mosques then you can sure hell say goodbye to everything which is civilized and sane in this country and plunge into stone age.
Another thing I want to talk about out is the glorification of these retards in our media…how often have you heard Imran Khan and other idiots saying ‘oh you should just look at the history of these people ,they are so fg brave that nobody can win a war against them’…..are these religious bigots of our society actually suggesting that we should hand over this country to Taliban because they are brave?…..WELL EXCUSE ME SIR,BUT SCREW THEIR FG BRAVERY AS FAR AS I KNOW THEY ARE THE MOST BACKWARD, ILLITERATE, FD UP GROUP OF PEOPLE IN OUR REGION…ALL THEY HAVE BEEN DOING IN AFGHANISTAN IS FIGHTING FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS
and now they expect us to be a part of their war?..they want us to sacrifice our livelihood for their retarded ambitions ?I say they leave us alone here in our cities ,their country is afghanistan not Pakistan ,,so go fight there there you bastards,why are you here?we dont want you here get out?
YOU GET YOUR A$$E$ KICKED IN AFGHANISTAN SO YOU RUN ACROSS THE BORDER TO PAKISTAN TO KILL INNOCENT CIVILIANS?IS THAT WHAT YOUR FG BRAVERY ALL ABOUT THAT RELIGIOUS BIGOTS IN OUR COUNTRY OFTEN REFER TO?Please leave and take the religious bigots in our country like Hamid Gul,Imran Khan,Shahid Masood and a few other twisted idiots with you.
thankyou

Madam Marvi AOA
Actually nowadays I’m very busy in my domestic issues that is why I’m not writting you but this is I’m informing you that I’ve a practical idea to minimize the current security threats to Pakistan and to the big cities of Pakistan like Karachi, Lahore & Islamabad. If you ask me about the idea then I can show you full multimedia presentation but that is absolutely confidential, I cant discuss it publically.
Thanks n Regards
October 8, 2008 at 9:34 pm
Salam Marvi,
Read your article “Pakistan’s Growth Is Linked To China”
It was great and thats what we needed President Musharraf worked so hard to get more closer to China, the Karakoram projects, so many official visits from both side, JF thunder, and specially the GAWADAR PROJECT , President Musharraf made sure that we don’t let Leaders like Akbar Bugti hold Pakistan to ransom and not let us move forward, thats why it was crucial to break away Akbar Bugti’s hold on Baluchistan as it was effecting the long term economical goals of Pakistan….With President Musharraf in power i think China was in more upbeat mood in strengthening Pakistan but now it seems that every project and the relationship with China has come to a standstill….
Atleast Kiyani on Musharrafs advice visited China as his first official tour…people don’t realise what musharraf was working on a stable Pakistan in the long run, free of militancy and taliban and al-qaeda threat, it had to take bloodshed but you have to sacrifice alot to gain alot, only a stable pakistan, a militant free, taliban free, al-qaeda free Pakistan can achieve its long term financial goals if we fail to address any of these issues than no country including China would want to invest in Pakistan as every developing and developed country in the world has one law existing from one corner to the other, no country with places like FATA and Baluchistan and parts of Sindh and Punjab where certain individuals rule and own everything can be economically stronger in the long run because with lawlessness and areas like FATA you always have troubel spots…
Every developed country has gone through the same stage, over the years strong governments have always eliminated the resistance forces who resist against the LAW OF THE LAND…no group or individuals should be allowed to dictate the STATE…
Pakistan cannot afford to have states within the state, one law which everyone agrees on and the same policing and judicial system needs to exist from Karachi to Quetta, Quetta to Peshawar, Peshawar to Waziristan, Waziristan to Swat, Swat to Kashmir, Kashmir to Islamabad….One law for everyone,for every inch of the land, same policing, same police stations and judicial sytems…Only than we can become a NATION and develope………..

Parliament’s In-camera Joint Session
So, the so called elected government of Pakistan after giving out victory statements a few months ago regarding “how successful their government is and how the suicide bombings have gone down” slowly but surely realise the reality that terrorists were given the government time not accepting defeat.
The marriot opened the eyes of the government that infact they were living in dream land, it was only a matter of time before the terrorists used the weaknesses of the government and strike with full force, which they did at the marriot bombing.
Government wasn’t paniking when civilians were dieing in bombings they still were firm that terrorism has gone down since they came to power, but all of a sudden as soon as the politicians start getting targeted like Asfandyar Wali and the PML-N candidate..the panic button has been hit, so now that their lives are being threatened they are literally shitting it….
The PML-N who was reluctant to even give any policy statment against the terrorsits are suddenly woken up running around trying to beef up their protection after one of their own got hit a few days back, so now you get a statement from Shahbaz Sharif that “we have to eliminate the terrorists”.Atleast the terrorists have even woken up the likes PML-N..
Now we have a in-camera parliament session, what ever that is…Is that because the present self-interested are realising a problem which they banked on during the elections to get votes…
Good on the terrorists to make a self-interested bunch of individuals realise and wake up to a problem which they ignored over the last 4 years as they had to score political points and be involved in blame game.
Fighting with terrorists needs the unity of every single person in Pakistan specially those in parliament they need to act more responsibly.
So lets see the outcome of the joint in camera session, i think if they have any sence left it will be the same statements which Musharraf mentioned 4 years agao “Terrorists are a threat to Pakistan, we all need to unite and we will win and eliminate them”
Just a shame that its taken attacks on politicions for them to realise this, if they all would’ve united by putting party policits aside 3,4 years ago than we would not have been in this mess, as Musharraf alone and the army alone cannot solve this problem…
SO THE STATEMENT AFTER THE JOINT SESSION MEETING WOULD ONCE AGAIN BRING US TO SQUARE ONE AND AGAIN THEY WILL UTTER THE WORDS ALONG THE LINE OF MJUSHARRAF’S WORDS THAT…..
“THE TERRORISTS AND TALIBAN ARE A THREAT FOR PAKISTAN AND WE NEED TO UNITE IN ELIMINATING THEM”
The only difference according to the government would be that we are the ELECTED ONES…So the elected ones are following the same policy which A DICTATOR initiated…WHATS THE DIFFERENCE THAN….WELL I SUPPOSE DIFFERENT FACES BUT SAME SHIT…….
October 8, 2008 at 11:13 pm
W.r.t. Pakistan- our only destination and destiny, let me say: They all need work. Developing policy for any of them wont do any thing. Reason being, we don’t have systems.
Even if I bring you PHDs to make a policy it wont work. As it hasn’t for last 62 years.
First think we need to do is to set up systems in our ministries, organize our working.
How? simple 3 step process:
1) Planning: we need system for planning on daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and long term bases.
Make that, Goal Oriented Planning. We need to Plan on bases of S.M.A.R.T, i.e. specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-tabled.
2) Working: We need to create systems for our office work and decision making very systematic. Our Office procedures laid down and explained and our staff and the nation should know what kind of rights both have.
Here, let me suggest the first step could be automation of the process which should be completely computerized. So no one can tell me that files are lost or stuck ‘in’ some one
3) Implementation : Promotions, pay raise and any benefits shall be given only if a government employee has achieved a certain goals based on S.M.R.T, as discussed above. Again make it a system. From laborer to chief secretary every one will get the same system.
Lastly, If you want to make this process very fast and need a catalyst for a situation like we are in? Do additional three steps :
1) Train Your Police! : Less People More facilities! Hiring 1000 police men wont do any good if 10 of them have gun and 990 have DUNDA? Get 20 hired give them 20 cars give them pay for 40 and facilities for 30, i assure you these guys would do much better then 1500 police men.
2) Judiciary! : Again completely computerized and automated. Hang the one against whom a corruption case is proved. (Can say this just for the fun of it) Do this via supreme judicial council, as the constitution says not the supreme court.
3) Education: I am not talking about schooling! Tell people what there right are. What government have to provide them. How can they walk into a government office and tell their servants to serve them. Also tell them what will they get if they pay taxes. Be S.M.A.R.T, this means, give them what you promise them… and they will pay tax, i promise!
Do all of the above.. and if we don’t become the “Greatest Nation In the World” as Quaid Said, then hang me please.
All of these three’s are obviously based on : Unity , Faith and Discipline.

Marvi, please bring back Musharraf and save this country from the pseudo democrats, plunderers, and fake leaders. Musharraf was the only savior; he was the only solution to the myriad problems facing Pakistan today; he had a personality, charm, poise and charisma and a good sense of humor; he was an honest and dedicated man, a hardcore military strategist. This fudged democracy had led the country to nowhere; leadership is nowhere in sight and looters are ruling the roost. For Heaven’s sake, use your resources and bring him back.

Power crisis Feared by 2008-09
By Aamir Ahsan Khan
DM HS&E
Gul Ahmed Energy Ltd.
The country is facing energy crisis due to rising electricity demand which enters into double digit figure following increasing sale of electrical and electronic appliances on lease finance.
“The country may face energy crisis by the year 2007-08 following healthy growth of 13 per cent in electricity demand during the last quarter, which will erode surplus production in absence of commissioning of any new power generation project during this financial year,” informed sources told The Nation.
As per Pakistan Economic Survey 2003-04, electricity consumption has increased by 8.6 per cent during first three-quarter of last fiscal year. However, a top level WAPDA official maintained that electricity demand surged up to 13 per cent during last quarter.
The survey said household sector has been the largest consumer of electricity accounting for 44.2 per cent of total electricity consumption followed by industries 31.1 per cent, agriculture 14.3 per cent, other government sector 7.4 per cent, commercial 5.5 per cent and streetlight 0.7 per cent.
Keeping in view the past trend and the future development, WAPDA has also revised its load forecast to eight per cent per annum as against previous estimates of five per cent on average. Even the revised load forecast has also failed all assessments due to which Authority has left no other option but to start load management this year, which may convert into scheduled load shedding over a period of two year, sources maintained.
The country needs a quantum jump in electricity generation in medium-term scenario to revert the possibilities of load shedding in future due to shrinking gap between demand and supply of electricity at peak hours.
According to an official report, the gap between firm supply and peak hours demand has already been shrunk to three digit (440 MW) during this fiscal and will slip into negative columns next year (-441 MW) and further intensify to (-1,457 MW) during the financial year 2006-07.
The report maintained that the difference between firm supply and peak demand is estimated at 5,529 MW by the year 2009-10 when firm electricity supply will stand at 15,055 MW against peak demand of 20,584 MW.
Chairman WAPDA at a Press conference warned about the possible energy crisis and stressed the need for ‘quantum jump’ in power generation. The experts say it could only be possible through a mega project of hydropower generation, otherwise the gap between firm supply and peak demand will remain on the rise.
They said the power generation projects, which are due to commission in coming years, are of low capacity and will not be able to exceed the surging demand of the electricity.
They say no power generation project will commission during this fiscal year and the total installed capacity of electricity generation will remain 19,478 MW to meet 15,082 MW firm supplies and 14,642 MW peak demand.
Giving details of projects, the sources said Malakand-lll (81MW), Pehur (18MW) and combined cycle power plant at Faisalabad (450MW) are planned to be commissioned during the year 2007. Mangla Dam raising project would also add 150 MW capacity to the national grid by June 2007. Besides this, Khan Khwar (72MW), Allai Khwar (121MW), Duber Khwar (130MW) and Kayal Khwar (130MW) are expected to be completed in 2008 along with Golan Gol (106MW) and Jinnah (96MW). Moreover, Matiltan (84MW), New Bong Escape (79MW) and Rajdhani (132MW) are expected by 2009 while Taunsa (120MW) is likely to be completed by 2010.
WAPDA has also planned to install a high efficiency combined cycle power plant at Baloki (450MW), which is expected to be completed by 2010. In addition of these, power plant 1 & 2 of 300 MW each at Thar Coal with the assistance of China are also planned for commissioning in 2009, sources said. Moreover, efforts are also under way with China National Nuclear Corporation for the construction of a third nuclear power plant with a gross capacity of 325 MW at Chashma, they added.

Respected Marvi,
I read your colum on “PAK NATIONALIST”.You raise the issue of CHINA why Mr.Zardari gov is ignoring our strategic ally…why you are not raising this issue in Parliament…But,I would say there is no Parliament because,when issues are not going to be discussed in Parliament..It means there is no Parliament at all.Dynastic gov right now..????
I would say,X-President make a big mistake “war on Terror”.He did not define ,He did not take the nation into confidence,He did not take the Parliament into confidence….Really,Today the Problems due to non visionary policy on “war on Terror”…How X-President was percieved, Pakistan Tribal belt will remain in peace…OK..you give them bases…after that you did not make any protest when INDIA was going and establishing their Counsilates…That was the right time, you should be taken the harsh stand..we will not support you and shun your supplies..But you remain quiet…so,resultantely after some period UN HOLY faces of HINDU & JEWS ZIONIST’S are shown in the form insurgencies in our Tribal belt…X-President was not Tiger…and not having the heart like Tiger.

on your website you have placed Quid-e-azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s Picture and Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain’s picture ……. although i have nothing chaudhry sahib but i think instead of him there should Alama Muhammad Iqbal’s pic
October 9, 2008 at 2:19 pm
I have moderated / meaning not shown 7 messages which were swearing at Shehryar using words which were similar to what he had himself used for Sajjad. I have shown 3 which were critical but not as abusive. If I were to allow those 7 I have blocked I am sure I will have Shehryar putting another 7 or more equally abusive ones. I have been extremely patient on this brawl.Plssssss…. No more!
Its not my job description to be doing any of this moderation. Everyone needs to wake up and stop behaving so immaturely against each other. Dont take advantage of my belief in freedom of speech. I hate to block and moderate but abuses etc are not acceptable against anyone. Why cant we tolerate difference of opinion. Just because a bunch supports President Musharraf and another doesnt, does not mean we get abusive.
Remember I am one of those few parliamentarians who not only has a blog but who he is managing her blog comments and inputs HERSELF. My aides dont go through these comments or fiull diary pages etc. I do it myself so that I get a pulse of the people direct… Its a waste of my time and yours to be subjected to such language and brawls. I have such important issues I want to discuss with all of you. Instead I am having to read nonsense against individual forum members. and …Instead here I am lecturing on how to disagree with manners with each other.
Anyway, I have lots to say..turn to diary pages for more real news on the country…which is what we should be communicating with each other on through this forum.

I propose the following policy measures if implemented, we may have a long-term chance of coming out of this mess. Though I am convinced that the Zardari-led
government would never do this in good spirit. I don’t believe that these measures would yield the desired results if implemented in isolation; Their success
is interlinked.
1. Take the FATA MNA’s into confidence and hold a major conference inviting leaders from various tribes in those regions;
2. Work out a detailed step-by-step truce plan with those leaders and hold them accountable to it.
3. Cary out targeted attacks against those who refuse to join in.
4. If the pact is broken by a party, find out why as there can be loose cannons. Make sure that the tribe is clearly violating it and its not being sabotaged by a third party. Carry out targeted attacks
and then bring those leaders back to the table.
5. Cary on massive scale campaign in the region through air by dropping short to the point flyers and short continuous radio broadcasts about the crime
that certain of them are committing and encouraging local tribesmen to turn over anyone they suspect;
6. Clearly tell USA that violation of our territory would not be tolerated at any cost and will be retaliated;
7. Make a case in all international forums that terrorism in Pakistan is being exported from Afghanistan and India;
8. Stay engaged with USA by encouraging them to share any hard, fact based information so that we can take action;
9. Build very strong relations with China and Russia. This does not mean just visiting them. Gaining China’s trust back is very important. Relate to them
the possibility of the repercussions for the future and work towards providing China future incentives such as a clear route to the Gawadar port. Negotiations
with China need to stay private.
10. Initiate on-ground development programs in FATA, NWFP and Balochistaan by building schools for boys and girls, and other medical and infrastructural
programs. Fund these through Eadhi foundation, Imran Khan’s foundation and the Aga Khan Foundation. Give them enough money so that they can carry out this
project in true sense and not just do it for propaganda purpose. Direct all Zaqat money for this purpose for next 10 years.
I believe by implementing the steps above, we can have a feasible possibility of reversing the course of destruction.

My dear Marvi Memon,
I have seen you couple of times on TV channels. I think you are doing very well and have established your credibility. Keep it up. ( I hope and pray at the end of day you don’t end up like Kashmala Tariq) What I would suggest that when confronting those idiots either the paid anchors or the liars of the opposition, you have to keep your points ready on a single piece of paper to avoid delays and lack of concentration because what I observed is that those anchors take that opportunity to go to others. You have to be more blunt to put your point of view and get equal time.
Your article “Pakistan’s Growth is linked to China” is well written and you have presented the facts very clearly. Why Asif Zardari is ignoring China is very clear. Those who orchestrated the NRO do not want Zardari to go near China. Had President Musharaf been still there, by now we may have been able to sign a similar nuclear deal as that of USA with India. The entire free media and the rich Gunja from Punjab spent lot of money only to concentrate against one person and sent the country into turmoil. They call themselves patriotic. Some of our close friends like Saudi Arabia, China and Turkey etc are keeping a distance from Pakistan after Musharraf left. I still remember when President Musharraf said “Khuda Hafiz” Pakistan. Most of the Pakistanis here in the Middle East know what he meant? He knew that the country was facing a grave situation.
It is unfortunate that an honest man has been replaced by the most dishonest person in the history of Pakistan. This is the beauty of Pakistani democracy. An honest man could not be advocated well by his inefficient team but a dishonest and most corrupt person is being advocated well by his party members. They are trying to prove him the most innocent person. All those who are advocating him are NRO certified. This was the biggest blunder of the person whom we loved so much. The person in his team, I admired most has been and is Mr. Nisar Memon. He is amongst very few politicians who doesn’t mince words. He talks with clalrity and authority. So many times, I wanted to write to him but I did not have his email address. May Allah bless him long life and good health.
On October 3rd Ahmed Quraishi wrote an article about SMS and Emails being sent against Zardari, who apparently has asked FIA to arrest those. I have a question what he will do with International Media on whose websites there are tons of stories. Is he going to appeal to UN? He is good at that.
In the last, Marvi let me tell you that I am about 65 and seen many ups and downs, practically traveled all around but one thing is a must and that is those who break their promise do have to pay dearly. Wait for the time.
My sincere wishes for you.

Dear Ms. Marvi,
Mid Ramzan whenever I watched Pakistani Channels on TV I found a flair of patriotism reflecting in your talks and I thought of sharing my views to which you may also not agree but since they are my views based on personal experience therefore I stick to them honestly.
Coming with political background starting from student days to active national politics a few years back I introduced myself as a failed citizen of a failed State, (which you will protest, I know) My experience in Pakistan’s politics is painfully rough full of Munafiqats. So for last many years after quiting active politics I pen my thoughts on current issues, which are published in some of our national press and abroad.
To say belated Eid, I enclose a copy of my article ” Eid mubarik, Pakistan? “, which you may like and find very near to your approach.

Kindly do let me know if you like it.

Dear Mrs. Marvi Memon,
Many people gave us many Ideas, of which, some are truly excellent. These ideas when evolved, becomes Ideology. Pakistan was an Idea, and it did become an Ideology, finally the devotees made it a reality.
I am not sure, but from where I see, you are following an Idea, now an Ideology called Pakistan First. I am proud of your efforts and surely of you hard work. Let me say, Welcome to Pak1stanFirst.com
You are very intelligent, dedicated and hardworking daughter of Pakistan. But let me say here, as a true loyalist to the ideology of Pakistan First, if I were you, I would clam down a little, get more devotees along and build up a team. Who would prepare our nation for this ideology to become national.
I hope when next elections comes along, this nation will be voting for reasons it should!
I believe, you will let me have the honor of conversation?
Best Regards

Hello Marvi, Assalaam o Allaikum,
Its so Refreshing to see an educated, nationalist Pakistani woman in our politics. Your articles definately reflect your indepth knowledge, good vision and nationlistic trends.
May Allah help you in your mission. I also happen to write situational reports and would like to share a closing comment from one of my report with you. Your comments either on the forum or to my email would be most welcome. This is something I had written before the Olympics had kicked off.
Pakistan, despite being a nuclear power and one of the hottest pieces of real estate in the world is facing issues that only the Banana Republics went through in South America. The coalition partners in the new government are behaving like a disgruntled couple and its seems like only a few unresolved issues are keeping them from splitting. The PPP co-chairman, Mr. Asif Zardari is busy cleaning his dirty laundry along with discovering and claiming his belated wife’s remaining assets. The junior coalition partner Nawaz Sharif of PML-N is so blinded by his hatred of Musharraf, that he is ready to sacrifice his own country for the sake of revenge. The only issue seems to matter to him is the reinstatement of a politicized Chief Justice and impeachment of President Musharraf. Rising inflation, failing economy, flight of foreign capital, deteriorating law and order situation, poverty and many other issues seems to have taken a back seat for the present government. The US must be content with their progress as they have not been able to capitalize on the strong leverage that the previous government built through Pakistan’s position in the war on terror. The US was well aware of the previous government’s Achilles heel (Military Government) that they didn’t give in to their demands without conditions. However, this democratically elected government doesn’t have that weakness and if desire, they can use that leverage for Pakistan’s benefit without conditions.
Until now, they have gotten away by claiming the inheritance from the previous government theory. Lets see how long this excuse lasts.
The new government’s relationship with Army has also reached new lows, specially after their recent faux pas. As if the ISI, worthy of belonging to a super power didn’t already have a hard time reporting to a stooge PM that they want to make it subservient to someone like Rehman Malik? Imagine Gen. Kiyani, a man who has gone through the grind called Pakistan Army thinks when he salutes to someone like our PM, a man who was simply picked up because he said, “How High” when Zardari said, “Jump”.
Its occurring to common people that the Army’s reaction is rather soft on this issue. However, beware, be-really-ware, for ISI never forgets.
In regards to facing external threats, Pakistan seems to be on the right track. What we must realize is at the moment, we are engaged in a low intensity conflict against a proxy army in our northern areas. This war must be fought and won only by us at all cost and nobody should be allowed to carry out any action on our territory. The US has all the ingredients of becoming an Imperial power except one, the Cannon Fodder. As compared to other big empires, they happen to have a low tolerance for casualties and it’s only a matter of a five to ten years before they lose their taste for battle, decide to pack up and leave.
Until then we need to keep our country together at all cost, I repeat At All COST!.
October 9, 2008 at 5:33 pm
Assalam O Alaikum Marvi Sahiba,
I am very impressed by the updated activity log and the dedication you give to every issue.
Rather than giving you more advice, I will just say:
May Allah give you the energy to work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to work for the betterment of Pakistan, and may people support you in this mission rather than create roadblocks.
Godspeed!
Your Wellwisher.
October 9, 2008 at 5:44 pm
Basically Pakistan is agricultural country which must produce commidities at least for domestic use then for foreign exchange.
But we are failed in achieving most easy targets.
coming to solution, agricultural lands must be limited to people who having agricultural background “model of india”.
Rather than wasting money over subsidies, you better to spend that money to make every field planted.
we don’t need any rocket sciece for development of Pakistan but just honesty. Sorry to say, we people are quite unaware of this magic.

i have watched you in different dabate programmes at tv. you only make empty slogans.your criticism is only destructive.i only want to say that the era in which we are, we cant affort it. its time to opt for uniform policy of consensus.We as nation reaping the fruit croped by your party under the illegal taker of miltary dictator.Crises of flour,terrorism,unemployment,strenghening of feudal lords by introducing nazim system etc is the gift of your party.i advice if you are really sincere with the nation then leave the Q league which dont have any revolutionary manifesto. this party is purely pro-establishment.this party is brain child of musharaf which is to fade away soon.otherwise it is just empty whistle thunders much.no body consider Q league as a political party.

October 9, 2008 at 7:53 pm
Dear Marvi Memon Nothing is moving forward. Every one is criticising everyone else.No one has given a solution of the problem. Some people have no idea of the gravity of the situation. Pakistan was a very peaceful country. It is shocking that many guests I have noticed in several programmes who are not prepared to condemn on Camera ther perputrators of Suicide bombing. Either they are with the bombers or with Pakistan and by Pakistan means people of Pakistan. The Army has no foreingner all thorough breed Pakistanis. I could never in my wildest dream support the ones who are fighting against my Army I donot give damn what nationality or religion they are.
Wakeup Pakistanis and support Pakistan to hell with the bomber and the criminals. At the moment it seem that the present Government is fighting the enemy (the one who kills pakistanis). On has gone to Australia on a big mission as Haroon said to get some member for his party and charity for the hospital. The national issue of 170 million people does not interest him the other one is on the train, it is a joke. Those who are not arround at the time that their country needs them most are not true patriots. Sorry but that is the way I look at it.

Hello
i m umar i m student of B.A i m studing in A.I.O.U Islamabad i
also have intrest in the journalism and i also have the subjects
related to journalism. I read ur column in nawa-e-waqt i like the way
u r doing the job nd trying to help the gov. may god bless u. I think
the main problem of our people is the low rate of literacy in our
country acording to my information the literacey rate is less than 80%
the people have no sense that who will be the representative from
there side in the national assembley or in the provincel assembly we
chose the same person in every elections whome we had hosen first but
they don’t work for us and our country so first we should have to
increase the literacy rate nd tell the pople of our country that what
is right and what is wrong . i also join the shadow cabinet but latter
. my english is not so well so if there is any mistake i m sory for
that.

Hello Madam,
Good to see your bold and daring step for knowing public opinion in their specialized fields.
It can be first and most essential step for progress of Pakistan if you get power.
I need to introduce myself now. I am 26 years old business graduate, technical analyst, now engaged in cotton and other trading business from last few years.
we need to focus over 1 major and most important challenge. Solutions are free of cost but only a little motivation, dedication & honesty required from related authorities.
Economics:
1. Concentrate over cotton crop to achieve 20 to 25% growth in foreign reserves, reduction in jobless people by 20-30%, increase in per capita income 5 to 10%, 10% growth in GDP, and increase in education for 5%.
Figures are based upon Multiplier and Acceleration theory. If you want me to prove it then I will do it within 3 days with proper facts & figures. Meanwhile export of cotton bales must be banned.
2. Focus over developing hybrid seeds. Our lands are producing 30 to 50% less than other countries. Poor and weak seeds are major factor of this under utilization. You need to amend roll of Punjab Seed Corporation & other private firms. There is corruption noticed in this most important sector. No doubt corruption exists in all over world but this sector shouldn’t be compromised. This little sector can add maximum value.
I know you are not in power but these 2 steps cost nothing, I hope you will convince related authorities for greater and mutual interests.
If you give me green signal then I can identify many other areas which having unlimited potential and no additional cost required.
If needed, we can get rid of $45 billion external debt in 5 years. Just honesty, devotion & dedication required.
Have a Great Day,
Rizwan Naeem

Just tell me why are we fighting with our own people.
after the US recession, Afghan president has agreed to talk and negotiate with the Talibans. also it seems that US will call back its troop from Iraq. But they have left Pakistan in difficult situation and Pakistan will be only one who will be fighting some one elses war.
This present governement has failed to protect the interest of his people. in the era of Musharraf, things were being negotiated.
there were talks b/w both the governement that ok we will let your forces enter Pakistan but in return how much aid will you give to us?
Now the governement says ok do what ever you want.
October 10, 2008 at 5:52 pm
Madam Marvi AOA
I letarally need your king attention, I’m informing you that I’ve a practical idea to minimize the current security threats to Pakistan and to the big cities of Pakistan like Karachi, Lahore & Islamabad. If you ask me about the idea then I can show you full multimedia presentation but that is absolutely confidential, I cant discuss it publically.
Thanks n Regards
October 10, 2008 at 7:11 pm
The answer to the question is partly indicated by the general tone of responses here from Paks. Their posts for the most part are very complimentary and appreciative. In Musharraf, they have a leader who they can be proud of for a number of reasons.
It’s a good sign for Pakistan.. Future Presidents will be judged against him. Will they reign in the radicals? Will they step down when it is time? Will they just be kleptocrats and nothing else? Big important questions for the future!

Miss Marvi,
In your shadow cabinet an important ministry of population control must be added.
It is absolutely essential, we control our population, or else we will run short of natural non-renewable resources. Available water and agriculture-able land would not be enough to feed our people.

Assalam Alaikum
nice to meet you over here ,i would like to share few suggestion through this platform
If we like to control financial situation of our country then we must be sincere and honest don’t like our MNA and MPA type people’s
We must bring our money back from overseas and foreign countries.
Government make policy that all politication if they like to participate then they show all legal and ilegal bank balance and properties inside pakistan and outside.
and their money will be in pakistan rather then foreign countries bank.
why only poor people suffer in this country why not rich family and politication.those take out blood of poor people. why we wait till that time come ! people come out in street , beat and take back their amount from those people
like INkalab way. that is totally worse situation so why not our Government listen quite momment of inkalaby peoples.
Also make policy if anyone in Rich family like to share Goverance and rules in Pakistan so they give time and their money for certain period like 10 billion to 50 billion for MNA and MPA seat and they also qualify that field too. so when people think that our ruler are also sincere then they also work hard and give full energy to their country
We also make policy to international level that we are one nation and independent . we cant follow anyone instruction what so ever.
Only our professional people make policy with pakistani peoples choice too
because Pakistan not only Government, polication , and ruler family peoples country , Pakistan 18 crores people country,
why our government and army scare that we can’t fight with american,we don’t want fight till they attack us and make big mistake. Then they know it Pakistani peoples nature and power
we are not afghani, iraqi, irani or arabic people we are pakistani and we know our values and culture and above we are sincere Muslim those know own Izzat and others.
Outside countries peoples must know that in Pakistan they don’t fight with army but they face Himaliya and K-2 type people passion to fight of their own Mother land.
we have 7 lacs army and 2 crores young people with arm they own very well to protect their motherland.
we must respect all country people whether they are muslim or not, but we wait till anyone do mistake and try to attack our respect then we are Himaliya no one touch us.
God bless our Pakistan forever
Now again we come to some proposal to end terrorism in our country first of all to stop all kind supply and enteries of afghani people , make policy till one year no one cross border at any cost better we fix mine at border so no one cross border and no supply for Aghanistan then we can stop terrorism otherwise we doing polictis only about terrorism
thanks and best regards

Madam
You are the most courageous lady we have in the Parliament. I agree with you all the way. Why Musharraf was removed is something we all know and can do nothing about. But your remarks about his policies and leadership qualities is like a breath of fresh air in an otherwise “frozen” parliament. I have always said that Zardari is overdoing his loyalties to America at the cost of Pakistan. Ignoring China at the behest of America may cost us the only friend we have. Make no mistake about, we have NO other friend. The ones we call “muslim friends” will back off at the first hard glance from America.
Keep up he good work; we need ppl like you in the parliament.

Dear Marvi
ASA
Being a die-hard fan of Gen Musharraf, I have also been following the statements of few remaining pro- Musharraf politicians like you. I really appreciate they way you put forward your point of view with facts and figures. Just read your article through Ahmed Qureshi’s mail-group regarding the relationships with should have with china. It Is indeed very disappointing the way our govt has ignored china in the recent months. Our loss I must say. We are looking for help from countries which are not able to help themselves.
Being a patriotic Pakistani and a person who decided not to leave this country no matter how the situation is I just wanted to inquire about the in-camera briefing session about the situation in fata and nwfp. I understand you will not share anything about it as you all are under oath but a patriotic person has the right to know if the presentation had been satisfactory and whether Pakistan army is actually making any progress. Further how conclusive were the evidences that RAW has been supporting these insane fighters in Fata.
Keep up the good work, god be with you!
Regards,
Adeel

” The PPP Central Executive Committee which met at Islamabad on Friday with party chief and President Asif Ali Zardari in the chair, unanimously asked Zardari to continue as party Co-Chairman for an indefinite period ” was a nerve wrecking news repot of the day. It is ultra vires of constitution, against the oath of the President: though PPP cares dime for pledges as ‘political statement’. The President is already violating constitution by continuing with his partys’ highest office and liable for impeachments along with his party members touting such non-democratic slogans. I would request Supreme court takes suo moto notice against such constitutional violations by President and PPP which should be disqualified. That makes one understand why deposed CJP and deposed independent judges were not restored. PPP-Zardari is only making mockery of constitution, democracy, freedom of expression. Where Mushraff faltered after nine years,PPP-Zardari has begun by their worst despotic practices which could put Yaha,Zia and Mushraff to shame. Only God knows how it will end, if the beginning is so despotic. The way they have crushed poor by their worst economic policy tells their fraud of being peoples party but infact anti- poor party.Machavellian politics: name of the game of deceptions and lies: destroy poor.

Fundamentals of Fundamentalism
From Mushir Anwar: mushir.anwar@gmail.com
For awareness please pass on to as many people as you can print media or any language, it’s a must convey message
FUNDAMENTALISM is a political movement to capture power and acquire control over national resources in the name of religion. Its apparent aim is to establish a theocracy based on a literal interpretation of religious laws by rejecting and outlawing all social, political and intellectual developments that have been evolved over the centuries and returning society to that ancient age which in the fundamentalist view was pure and uncorrupted by developments of any kind. The fundamentalist group wants to impose absolute, total and unchallenged rule of religious leaders in the state and society through enforcement of a selected set of religious edicts and commands.
In an excellent essay appearing in the latest (45th) issue of Irtiqa that goes in to the real aims and objectives of the so called fundamentalism, Wajahat Masood discusses the nature of the movement in as much as it has nothing to do with religion per se or observance of its higher principles, spiritual values of compassion, truth and justice. Therefore, he argues, opposing fundamentalist does not mean opposing religion as such.
Fundamentalist groups exist in all major religions of the world and in their political inclinations they are not vary different from each other. Wajahat Masood discusses how fundamentalism rose in the wake of the renaissance that weakened the power of the clergy in European society, and in Asia and Africa on the arrival of the colonialist turning local religion authorities against modern thought and its liberating influence on society. Then the industrial revolution with its concomitant social and economic complexities drove people to yearnings for the lost simplicity of rural life. The fundamentalist stance derived much strength when at the end of colonial rule new representative national structures failed to bring about the promised betterment in the life of the people. The concept itself grew among a group of Christian sects in America that felt threatened by the force of modern knowledge and related social developments.
Masood explains that the fundamentalist movement is basically a revivalist, reactionary and fascist programme with vary little scope for changes in society that may come about through human efforts or initiative. Human society develops with the evolution of an integral structure of institutions, laws and values and civilizes human nature while on the other hand fundamentalism seeks to reverse the direction of change and feeds society on fascist ideals of power, war and conquest and ultimately towards a return to the raw human instincts. A fundamentalist rule necessitates an insecure world.
The most interesting and illuminating part of Masood,s exposition is the definition of the 24 basic constituents of the fundamentalist’s agenda. I will briefly mention them:
1. The fundamentalist interpret religious commands, beliefs and principles literally and consider knowledge to be complete and final with no scope for discovery and change.
2. Fundamentalist does not believe in human equality. Those who do not share their belief system are inferior and deserve different treatment.
3. Fundamentalism does not trust human intellect and wisdom. It, therefore admires compliance and conformity and discourages critical thoughts.
4. Fundamentalism prefers the group over the individual and holds ends sacrosanct over the means. To keep its supremacy and control it considers free to take itself even those measures that may clash with the basic tenets of their belief system. An example is the resort to suicide bombings which is repugnant to Islam.
5. Fundamentalism is basically misogynic. It restricts females to roles with in defined boundaries under men’s control.
6. Fundamentalism denies to man his endowed possibilities and constant accountability kills human initiative and drive for progress.
7. Fundamentalism establishes the rule of a minority group over majority.
8. Fundamentalist leadership is imposed from above.
9. Fundamentalist decision making is not transparent and there is no clear procedure for transfer of power. Things are done in the interest of the state.
10. Fundamentalist claim the right to interfere and have the last word in all matters.
11. Fundamentalist rule cannot give equal rights to unequal citizens.
12. Fundamentalist governance is undemocratic, does not seek consensus and rules by decree.
13. Fundamentalist rule out freedom like speech, writing, assembly and organization.
14. Fundamentalism lacks the flexibility needed for political survival and the system ultimately collapses. (This is the GOOD news.)
15. Fundamentalist regime permits torture, accountability and sectarian disharmony as state policy and governance principle.
16. Fundamentalist rule thrives on fabricated anti state conspiracies.
17. Fundamentalist regime keep looking for super human characters: A character in a Brecht play says, “unfortunate are people who do not breed heroes; another remark’s, Unfortunate is a nation who is always in need of a Hero.”
18. Fundamentalist society uses secrecy and lies in place of transparent dialogue.
19. Fundamentalist rely on casuistry facts when face with embarrassing facts.
20. Fundamentalist fan sectarian, racial, linguistic and cultural animosities.
21. Fundamentalist exploit cheap slogans and promote negative thinking.
22. Fundamentalist governments soon get packed with sycophants and mountebanks of all varieties.
23. Fundamentalists adopt isolationist policies instead of joining the world community.
24. Fundamentalist’s regime is a threat to regional and international peace.
Masood has not simply made a list of the abovementioned characteristics but discuss them in great detail which makes his essay a must reading for any one who suffers from any redeeming doubts about the anti human nature of such regimes, particularly those elite thinkers who secretly nurtures the dreams of Pakistan’s Talibanisation

Salam Musharraf Supporters…..
ECONOMIC MELTDOWN
Had a long essay but let me keep it simple.THANKS TO SHAUKAT AZIZ that he left a economy and thanks to MUSHARRAF that the only credible people incharge of the economy are MUSHARRAF and SHAUKAT AZIZ supporters GOVERNOR of STATE BANK appointed by Musharraf and people like Hina Rabbani Khur who worked with Shaukat Aziz are still their,before i go further,IF SHAUKAT AZIZ’S polices were wrong than why is his finance team still their?
Lucky Shaukat Aziz left Reserves of $17bn because that has helped in the last 9 months, whilst the government cant find a finance minister and while theY pursued their personal agendas the bills were paid from these reserves, so despite people withdrawing their money, oil doubling, local investors running to Dubai,Stock exchange crashing,no more foreign investors coming to Pakistan! its Shaukat Aziz and Musharrafs work which has meant that the reserves still stand at $9bn or so and we still have money to pay for bills for another 3,4 months..THIS IS THE TRICKLE DOWN EFFECT?ISNT IT?
If Shaukat Aziz and Musharraf left a economy which was given to them in 1999 a mere $500mn reserves than PPP and PML-N couldn’t have afforded to relax for 9 months….
Shaukat Aziz turned around the economy with his intelligence and his worldwide reputation but look at the current losers..
First of all they cant even find a finance minister, ppp asked for pml-n’s finance minister whose equally crap, than the guy who ppp had for the last 9 months sleeping on the economy has been changed after all that time wasting and when everything has started to collapse because the government has been busy running around LONDON, DUBAI AND SAUDI ARABIA..WHAT A JOKE..
Under Shaukat Aziz and Musharraf’s tenure i never heard anyone say:
1-ECONOMY IS COLLAPSING OR WE ARE GOING BANKRUPT THEY NEVER USE TO BEG FOR $100BN AID
2 – WE NEVER USE TO CRY INFRONT OF SAUDI ARABIA FOR FREE OIL OR OIL PAYMENT DELAYS
3 – WE NEVER USE TO BEG TO IRAN FOR ANY OIL
4 – OR RUN TO AMERICA EVERY MONTH FOR HELP
5 – I NEVER SAW ANY PROGRAMME WHERE THEY ARE ASKING PEOPLE TO BRING BACK THEIr MONEY FROM ABROAD(FOR ZARDARI TO TAKE AWAY)
RUPPEE VALUE AT 77, STOCK EXCHANGE AT 9000 POINTS, RESERVES DOWN, INVESTORS RUNNING AWAY, OUR MINISTERS GIVING NEGATIVE STATEMENTS..NEVER BEFORE..ONLY IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS..
Its basically incompetence at its highest,a government which cant even find a finance minister after being in office for 9 months, a government whose ministers give negative statements everyday THEY ARE THE ONES WHO ARE RUINING EVERYTHING NOT SHAUKAT AZIZ…
The economy is still better than what Musharraf inherited in 1999..so why dont they stop crying and work on it…
I THINK NINE MONTHS IN TODAYS WORLD ARE TOO MUCH TIME TO FIX A PROBLEM, THE GOVERNMENT HAS TO GO OR PAKISTAN GOES DOWNHILL……..
SOLUTION TO THIS:
1- DISMISS THE GOVERNMENT
2 – (A)-ELIMINATE THE PARTY SYSTEM, NO PARTIES ALLOWED AS IF THE LEADERS ARE JAHIL AND STUPID HOWZ THE PARTY GOING TO BE..WHAT PARTIES? WHICH HAVEN’T EVEN GOT A FINANCE MINISTER!!!
(B) – PARTIES ARE CREATING TOO MUCH HATRED FOR EACH OTHER AND WORKING ON POWERING THEIR FAMILIES AND THEIR FRIENDS.TOO MUCH LOOTAY IN PARTIES.
3 – NON-PARTY BASED ELECTIONS, NO PARTIES AT ALL, FROM THE CANDIDATES WHO WIN THE BEST QUALIFIED SHOULD BE CHOSEN AS MINISTRIES NOT FOR THEIR MONEY BUT THEIR ABILITY…AS THEY’LL BE IN ONE TEAM THEY WILL FOCUS ON PAKISTAN RATHER THAN THEIR PARTIES
4 – PRESIDENTIAL SYTEM TO BE BROUGH AS FIRST PRESIDENT MUSHARRAF WAS DOING EVERYTHING(RIGHTLY) NOW U HAVE ZARDARI CONTROLLLING EVERYTHING(WRONGLY)
5 – EVERYTHING DEBATED IN OPEN PARLIAMENT SESSIONS AND THAN DECISIONS MADE
I THINK THATS THE BEST WAY FORWARD, THE PRESENT BUNCH ARE TOTALLY CLUELESS THEY NEED TO GO……
MUSHARRAF & SHAUKAT AZIZ ZINDABAD
MUSHARRAF SUPPORTERS ZINDABAD
MARVI IS GREAT – (REALLY NO JOKE)
C U GUYS IN A FEW DAYS TIME
PAKISTAN PAINDABAD………….

Hi
If we (a group of mid career engineers) were to submit some policy papers on current issues, how do we reach you?
Samir Ashraf
October 11, 2008 at 6:37 pm
Ms.Memon
It’s refreshing to see that our politicians trying to reach public via blogging. Unfortunately you didn’t think about it when you were in power otherwise you could be more ‘attractive’ for Awam.
I read your article about China-Pakistan relationship where you are suggesting that our govt should go for China rather US.
Fine, it sounds sweet but would you like to tell what your govt did in past 7 years to take advantage of this “friendship”. I find that we suffered a lot due to power crisis. I see there was no engineering and science contract between two countries where Pakistanis could go China and participate in some “crash course” in every field so that they could serve back in home.
Why do we cry when have no power? Why don’t we change our own attitude?
October 11, 2008 at 9:03 pm
people people the fact is that pakistan’s debt before 1999 was 2950 billion us$ from the advent of this country and during musharrafs 8 yeras the borrowed money was 2500 billion Us $.so you can not call yourself rich by borrowing money and stuffing it in your pockets.shaukat aziz was a con artist.he did his job and vanished.wake up to the reality.
October 11, 2008 at 10:13 pm
well said sajjad…..i got same views…!!
October 13, 2008 at 7:46 am
(Part 1) Be True to Yourself, only then you can be true to nation and others.
When we talk of security zone in Pakistan we have to think on broader terms. Like firstly we have to decide a strategy on regional terms. Every region has its own requirements. We have NWFP, Balochistan, Sindh & Punjab. Then, we must see the neighbors surrounding them. Not necessarily the plan that will work for NWFP will be effective in other province too. So it should be a strategy with diversified aspects. Not the main check posts be only checked but all the cars must get a clarification status from all the entry posts.
Our MNAs/MPAs should go in their own constituencies and also the MNAs/MPAs on reserved seats at the grass root level and analyze the problems that helps in originating the terrorists bud from that area. It will be a long term effort. What an MNA can think and can struggle for may be a simple Pakistani (who has to struggle hard for living) cannot.
It is our war, only we can think of it with pure heart. It is our house burning only we know from where we can bring water to extinguish the fire. Every province has it own economic needs we must think of ways to accelerate the employment or means of earning there.
Once we come over inequality and injustices i say it with conviction that most of the evils will come to an end. We have to be in things to bring and sort out the conclusions. You are wet only once you are in water. Do not claim that you know about things when you have never been a part of anything.
For a nation to be strong it has to be responsible. For responsibility, awareness is required. For awareness, will is must and when you have a will nourish it by having faith in Allah
Because ultimately to HIM we all will return. And that would be a start of another life there.

I think, Marvi, you should block this page as it’s being used for exchanging catharsis and vitriolic barbs coupled with some very abusive language. Lately, I’ve had a chance to read some extremely idiotic, juvenile and ameteurish thoughts by some bloggers here. The mushroom growth of crappy and mediocre TV channels seems to have taken their toll on the young, impressionable minds of the “educated” people of this country.

Ex-President Musharraf Receives Visitors At Army House
In his latest appearance, former President Musharraf receives students from LUMS Lahore and NCA Rawalpindi. Here, one of the students, Amyn A. Ghulamali, says the former President was gracious and upbeat. He answered questions about his government but did not blame others where responsibility was his own. According to this student, Mr. Musharraf left his latest visitors with the impression of ‘a simple God fearing patriotic Pakistani.

adnan says: shutting mouth of others can’t hide reality. Please start facing reality rather burrying head in sand. agreed.
I ask all of you at 2.52am when I cant rest because I am worried sick about my country and lack of leadership to deliver this country from major crisis the following….I am perhaps more worried than you because of my vantage point and the responsibility on my shoulders…
I ask you….what is facing reality? is it allowing abusive language for sake of freedom of speech?… despite the fact that I agree with Adeel that “this page as it’s being used for exchanging catharsis and vitriolic barbs coupled with some very abusive language. some extremely idiotic, juvenile and amateurish thoughts by some bloggers.”
yes I allow it because I do believe in freedom of speech. However I am convinced that within each of those bloggers who are indulging in juvenile behaviour at the expense of time of a nation in crisis there is plenty of patriotism.
Pakistan wake up…
give useful suggestions at this crisis time so that leadership doesn’t fail you and you don’t fail your leadership!
October 13, 2008 at 10:03 pm
I am convinced I don’t need to moderate because I will get useful suggestions only from now on. I have faith in your patriotism. It doesn’t matter if we don’t agree with each other’s politics. We agree with not doubting each other’s patriotism I hope….

Zardari is Confused.
The Mr. 10 percent of the yesteryears is finding it hard to get any largess from the United States and other donor countries because of his own reputation and due to his recent going back on promises and his utter disregard for the promises. Zardari has been instrumental in becoming the replacement of Musharraf but fails miserably to act in right direction in that regard.
Zardari is extremely confused as at one side he mixes up the the freedom fighters of the Kashmir with the terrorists pouring in from the Afghanistan from the tribal region. In his desperate efforts to please the masters in Washington and India he is hell bent on doing anything with any thought to the consequences.

Hi Marwi !
Well my name is danish soomro and i have done masters in economics & finance. i m 25 yrs old always thinking how to serve Pakistan coz we youngster always participate in protests against govt. but never come with development ideas which leads to socio-economic development. I have made a company name Young Entrepreneurs. we are providing the platform to ones like me who want to do something for thier homeland.
After that i have designed a project which will definetly increase the forex exchange earnings, social development, unlimited job creation and woman empowerment. Economic growth of every country currently based on the equal ratio of male and female particitipation. On the other hand Pakistan is 80% based on male participitation while highly educated females they are just gettin married and living normal life and wasting their qualification and skills, further our culture doesnt allow females to move out easily and use their talent. Like pathan families they dont allow their females to go out but we never know there are many marwi’s hidden in their families.
So we say ok fine if they wont allow them togo out, we will go to them we will provide them job at home.
But how we will generate jobs as current situation not allowing foreign investment. We can see downsizing rather creation of new jobs
But we have the solution by using term Outsourcing and tenchnique Globilization.
I m looking forward to hear from you. I m trying to reach Syes Mustafa Kamal to propose my complete proposal.
unfortunately still not getting any appointment. I m here for 3 months to implement something in jan i m leaving to london for more higher studies.
Waiting from positive response.
Thanks.

Salaam Ms. Marvi Memon;
Firstly, I would like to deeply thank you for giving me the opportunity to finally contact ’someone’ regarding my concerns. I am an International Relations student at Wilfrid Laurier University in Canada. For a few years now I have taken a strong interest in Pakistani politics, and have kept track of the drama and events unfolding.
I would like to briefly address one of the persistent problems of most Pakistani governments since 1947. We never really had a clear, direct and ideologically legitimate foreign policy. Without a clear foreign policy, do expect stronger powers – particularly in the West – to shamelessly meddle in our domestic affairs!
For example, Pakistan has maintained diplomatic, ‘brotherly’ and ‘friendly’ relations with China, Saudi Arabia and Turkey since her inception in 1947. Now tell me, how would you rate our bilateral economic trade and strategic relationship with each of those states?
Sadly, even our relationship with China has been lackluster. Despite some 60-years of relations, we have not tapped into the Chinese market nor have we imported their low-cost industrial technology. Hence we rely on the West for our exports, we rely on the West for manufacturing technology.
Posting a solution will require greater depth and time, and I will post it later. However I would like us to simply recognize our own lack of clarity and re-assurance towards our partners.

as you being a young parliamentarian,asked me to bring in to your notice the issue of CSS age limits affecting a large number of people…..madam i am a CSS aspirant and enthusiastic to become somebody out of nobody by being a CSP……madam,the present age restriction is of 28 years which was brought down from 30 years by our former president under the guidence of NSC,according to my knowledge….madam, it is indeed an irony as it is helping a especial strata of the community who has the resources,connections and ability to finish their masters well intime to avail all the three ligitimate chances whereas the people belonging to the middle class need some time to reach to a level where they can leave an impression to reach the unlimited heights.Albeit bachelors is required to appear but one surely needs to have masters,in the relevant subjects to catch the eye of the examiner as its a competitive examination and every single number counts………apart form this,the nation requires to be served by those,chosen from the best of educated. lott..it is important to mention here that Benazir Bhutto’s first government managed to relax it to 30 years after perceiving the unjust………madam,there was great hope with appearence of a democratic regime in the corridors of power,to once again,correct the ills of the past…but unfortunately,nothing in this regard ,so far has been done…….people dreams are being shattered and they have started believing if only the faces at the helm of the things have been change and the rest is all same……madam,i must mention here,in the month of april,under the chairmanship of Senator Abdul Ghaffar Qureshi,the standing committee on cabinet secretariat directed the FPSC to increase the age limit to 35 years…reference to this could be seen in news as i read in the The Nation…..the chairman of FPSC made a recomendation to relax the age to 30 years atleast to the establishment division…..according to my knowledge,the concerned authorities,in the establishment are paying no attention to as they didnt put forwarded the summary for the approval of PM and lingering on with it to the level where they could say that now its too late to do any thing and will look in to the matter next year…..madam,it is a typical bureaucratic way of playing around the politicians and ultimatelely,the people have to suffer…madam ,i personally wrote to the honourable prime minister,president,opinion pages of different news papers but so far ,all my pledges have fallen on deaf ears,……no news paper even considered my opinion and published it …..but there are people who raised this point in the opinion pages…one such efforts was published in DAWN on 13th Oct and was seconded by another fellow but it was surely not brought in to the notice of those who are concerned………..madam,i dont have the connections to let my self heard where it matters the most…….after loosing all hopes,my looks fall upon Mr Quraishi’s email and only because of his sincere guidance,i am able to mail to you…….madam, FPSC is about to announce the rules for CSS 2009…….any of your sincere effort in this regard can bring joy to the faces of many……all that is required is to relax it to 30 years as a precedent is also available
our country is going through a quagmire at the moment and all that we need is fellows who have the courage to tackle the issues head on…madam, there r deserving aspirants who are side lined bcz of the unjust of the past……kindly give your contribution in this regard so that you are appreciated,respected and cheered even more.time is very cruical in this regard and i expect alot from u .
your well wisher

Hello Marvi,
ZARDARI IS BACK TO HIS OLD WAYS:
I am hearing a lot of things from different sources about Zardari being crook again,some of them may be rumors ,some of them may be facts ,but all of it has to be investigated.
1.I have learnt that Mr Hashwani owner of Marriot hotel in Islamabd which was bombed has been made to pay 50 crore ruppees to Zardari as extortion money after he refused to give his Murree P.C Bhurban hotel to him.
Now its a well known fact Zardari tried to do the same to Sultan Rahi AKA Maula Jutt for his Holiday Inn Hotel in London…Sulatn Rahi did not compy and was later gunned down on a highway.
The following are some of the other rumours circulating about Zardari’s evil behavior.
1. A jeweller called Kasuria in Karachi has been threatened by Zardari to extort 50 million dollars.
2.Mr. Mansha of the MCB was phoned while he was flying on his private plane to write off 28 crore loan of a friend.
3.The new Islamabad Airport construction contract has been given to a friendly company in a backdated agreement to steal money
4. Redundant and useless submarines are being purchased in collaboration with the Naval chief.
5. Useless and discredited people are being posted as ambassadors and to important positions in PIA.

ruppee touching 90 in the open market against the dollar…gya pakistan haha…we are about to become fn Somalia or something and these frs can’t get over benazir shaheed and what her father did for this country.her father’s era was the worst for Pakistan economically because he nationalized the industries …oh no hold on not according to that their ‘tatoo’ Kaiser Bengali he think’s Bhuttos era was one of the best for Pakistan economically and Shaukat aziz’s era was the worst…what a prick .
what will we do now? ..wheres the aid coming from?China will give us what?may be zardari can give us more than what china can from his foreign bank accounts ,but he won’t because thats saved for his mafia organization ppp .
they probably just need 2 billion dollars to bring the ruppee back to normal.default on foreign payments has become a high possibility for the state bank now.

i think u speak extreamly foolish. dont joke with the people of pakistan. they are not intreseted in hearing the bullshit u speak, if u have any sense (any at all) then tell us the majors that should be taken in order to prevent all the things that r destroying our nation.
i know u wont have any!!!!!!
secondly, for god’s sake do something on your own once and stop reading the points that ur masters have given u.
u talk about so many points criticising the govt. why didnt u give these points at the time when ur own govt was there?
i think that u dont have any sense at all. u never ever give answers to thoes who are against u. and i m hopefull that my letter shall not get an answer as well.
i would also like to prove ur cowardness as u are getting ur website been used to criticize president zardari.
shame on u marvi venom!!!!!!
October 17, 2008 at 5:41 pm
mr ali sid i would take this oppurtunity to inform you that the submarines produced(not procured) by pakistan are agosta 90b.these are the state of the art submarines with stealthy capability of staying under water for prolonged periods without having to come on surface. these machines have given us an edge over indian navy as far as submarine warfare is concerned.so zardari did not buy these.and if he did we should actually thank him.and please dont blame naval chief for something he has not done. thanks

Well Sara Khan i read ur comments above and understand your feelings at the same time. Appreciate if in the first place you your self would have learn to have a control over your self before you choose to comment over Marvi, perhaps you could have choosen a better manners and a better language which most likely could have given a better sense consideration to your comments and some respect for you.
Beware i am no fan of Marvi and it was totally my own choice and will to point you a simple thing which you must pay attention.Even in a free society like UK where i live with total freedom of speech certain codes of conduct are still exersise which reflects a society suitable for democracy to be exercised,let us not prove ourself other way arround.
Thank you with respect and Best Regards lv..cheers
October 18, 2008 at 4:16 am
To Sarah Khan,
I think you need to wake up! The Zardari group promised so much and gave LESS than nothing. In fact, the Dar-nomics undertaken by the PML-N – specifically Ishaq Dar – slammed the heaviest blows to Pakistan’s then vibrant economy! The security situation has further degraded and foreign forces – i.e. U.S. and India – have stepped UP their aggression.
Like all those ousted by the Western world, Musharraf STOOD UP to the U.S. Perhaps in his last days, but mark my words his return would begin a new era for Pakistan. No other leader has brought Pakistan so close to China, and yet Zardari can only shamelessly beg for money for his own Swiss accounts.
Zardari doesn’t deserve anything less than the pressure Marvi Memon has thrown. In fact, the ethnocentric and feudal fascist hawks of the PPP ought to be brought to justice for their crimes…especially for the recent attacks against ethnic minorities in Hyderabad Sindh.
Reform in our way of governance is paramount…the current system has brought us nothing but misfortune. It is time to look within our true source of reference for answers…not crawl to the British, Americans, etc.

Salam..
I am Muneeb, working in a multinational company. Electrical Engineer and having served for 5 years in different departments of MNCs, really know how they (MNCs) make profits and what are long term and short term benefits for these MNCs.
I must say that i am really impressed with your personality. Great charisma!! keep it up.
I have heard that we have done a contract with chinese power company to invest in Pakistan. And heard of really great numbers to be invested in Pakistan energy sector. Great to hear that but if you anlyse the long term impact of such investments in Pakistan, i think its hurting us a great deal.These chinese companies are taking all the money from our homeland. Although we might end up in getting 1000 MW of electricity but at the cost of paying 70% of our electricity bills to these companies. Pakistanies hardly get anything out of it except soaring electricity prices… Why dont we invest ourselves in such profit making businesses?? We take hefty amounts of loan from IMF to genertae activities that will bring our growth in the future but i am really unable to understand that why dont we invest in our Energy sector?? I am sure that if we will invest in energy sector, it will be better for hundreds of smaller companies that will be involved in construction phase and then in the future we will get all the profits, which would otherwise go directly to Chinese companies. Because they hire their own subcontractors for all the construction works and they bring their own material from China. So all their investment figures go back to China.

MY 2 CENTS:
Unless we apply Term laws in Pakistan … such:
Nobody can become MNA more than 3 times (each term of 4 years), Nobody can become Prime Minister for more than 2 terms (each term of 4 years) and Nobody can become Senator more than 2 terms (each term of 6 years, plus senators are also directly elected by the people)
We will have Personalities ruling us and not the system.
Political parties must have a secular mendate, and must have elections (primaries) for each and every post that is contested in general elections.
Rationale for this approach is that Politicians do not become demi-gods … which they are right now …
As soon as we get our house in order our problems will disappaer, And sine politicians will never do this plus extra secruitny and transparency I would like to mendate … We will need our Army one more time!!!

Hi Mam,
I havebeen seeing your programs on various private TV Channels but had no media to contact you. Yesterday I read your letter in the News wherefrom I got this web page.
Whenever I hear u, my blood pressure shoot up horizintally for the reason that educated people like you also speak for the dictator. The people like you, who have always personal interests attached to your actions, have played havoc with this country. This country which need education the foremost, get 2% of the GDP in the budget where defence, which has delivered zero results gets 37% (ostensible) portion. The poor people of Pakistan cannot take u into account but for God sake be afraid of the natural justice and the God, if you believe in Him, whose Lathi is beawaz. I understand the people like you get your due from the divinity but you don’t understand. For God sake stop this rubbish and take petty on those poor who have no house, no drining water and no right to live but we do not allow them to die.

Salam,
I am a fresh garduate from Baqai Medical University and am currently working as a medical teaching and research doctor at Altamash Institute of Dental Medicine.
I am a staunch supporter of Mr. Musharraf.I have always supported his ideas and way of governance in whatever capacity I have been,as a student and now as a young professional.The economic and overall situation has worsened since his exit.Most of Musharaf’s policies have to be continued.Policy on war on terror. Economic reforms etc
The story of Pakistan’s remarkable economic turnaround during the last 6/7 years is hardly known with any clarity or authenticity.
Pakistan’s GDP growth rate has consistently averaged 6% plus during the last few years.Per capita income had shot upto almost $850.
Incidence of poverty had declined from 34% to 25 %,Unemployement rate had gone down to 6.2 %.The size of our economy almost doubled.
Pakistan was on the verge of default in May 1998.
Exports have almost doubled attaining a level of $18 billion in 2006.
Forex reserves have risen to $ 13 billion/$14 billion
In recent years oil and gas exploration activity stepped up and constant discovery and production from new gas fields have given a a boost to growing needs of energy.
Telecommunication has seen a boom since private sector companies were allowed licenses to operate cellular phones.
Long distance loop monoply of PTCL has been broken
$8 billion investment was brought in Pakistan in 2007.
It is assumed that approx 64 billion enetered Pakistan during the last 7 yrs.
Despite all these reforms Pakistan is still facing challenges. More than 1/4th of the population livs below the poverty line.Access to quality education and healthcare is limited. There is high unemployment and underemployment.But we have to work even harder to overcome these deficiences and constraints.
To bring economic stability I think no 1 the Govt should come up with a concrete plan.(to bring in credibility) Everyone has promised Pakistan that they will give them money but no friend of Pakistan has yet given any.
We need to provide them with a solid economic plan and policy so that they can trust us.
Some economic measures like tax on agriculture, taxes on real estate transactions and taxes on stock markets should be taken.
A major share forex goes in oil imports. We have to reduce that cost to survive. Maximum concentration should be on oil exploration(minerals), we know we have it in our country.We have to do the utmost efforts to do this, whatever it takes its the question of our survival. And in the mean time look for alternate energy sources like solar energy, CNG etc etc to meet our energy demands.
We need to ban ( or inc duty) the import of luxury cars and items in our country, to save feul and forex.

Respected Ma’am,
Marvi Memon.
I was truely Sad when ex President Sir Musharraf resigned. I felt that it was a sad and dark day for this nation as the only hope for betterment and for a proper standing in this world resigned.I still have hope left, my heart always goes out when i think about General Musharaf as he was the best and he will always be the best in my eyes, in my heart and in my mind.He believed blindly in this countries betterment, without any selfishness, he gave honesty and sincerity to the people of the nation, expecting understanding and acceptance in return, majority of this nation lacks common sense and the understanding for what might be good for them and their future generations, its our loss, now the worst is yet to come and yet to be faced. But we as the Youth of this nation can gather and show ou rsupport for Sir Musharraf and his policies.
I would also like to appreciate PML-Q & the coalition parties who helped President Musharraf in his bad times.
I am living in Lahore. So i wont be able to attend the meeting which is scheduled to held in karachi on 18th October. So please do contact me whenever you’ll visit Lahore next time as i’ll always be the first one to come and meet you. I have watched various talk shows in which you participated and defended your (PML-Q’s) and (Musharraf’s) policies. I personally think that you have great ability to interact with people and make them understand your points very clearly.

Dear Marvi Memon,
I have an excellent idea for solving the present currency crises. My analysis is that people are buying
foreign currency from Pakistani Rupees in hope of earning huge exchange difference. As a nation, we
have greed to earn huge amount of money in short term. The result is every single person busy in
buying foreign currencies in demand.
To control this menace, you are requested to please suggest to the State Bank Governor or Ministry of Finance or any one who can take decision on the following measure:-
1. That with effect from 1st November 2008 a Currency Trading Tax of 5% is proposed on purchase or sale of any foreign currency.
2. All currency vendors and exchange houses must be effectively monitored to implement this law.
I am sure you will have a dramatic rush of US Dollars. Can you please confirm receipt of my this email
and comment about your opinion about this idea.

This is in reference to your article in the news,
Leadership as they say can command respect, it can never demand it. To steer Pakistan out of this crisis leadership needs to be looked up to, deemed as trustworthy and respectful by the elites sitting in their drawing rooms and general Pakistanis in the dhabas.
Khomeini galvanized iranis to bear the brunt of 8 year long brutalities of war with iraq, Jinnah infused muslims of india with courage to face atrocities for separate homeland, Bhutto sahib galvanized a down and out nation to stand up from ashes.
Masses can be galvanized and inspired to face crises and take blows only by leadership that enjoys dignity and unambiguous track record. Unfortunately the leadership options at our disposal are rightly perceived to possess none of the mentioned properties. Extremists are getting the better off us as far as the psychological warfare goes.
One just hopes the prince turns out to be better than the king. I out of desperation and naivety hope Bilwal Bhutto zardari, hamza shahbaz sharif and moonis elahi can capitalize the prized asset they will have to start off with once they are at the helm, a clean slate.

Marvi,
I came across your website and its a good idea that you have one. I know your father worked for IBM and the new IBM slogan is Stop Talking- start doing
You will mostly find doers in the corporate sector of Pakistan.
I am writing with respect to the energy problem of Pakistan. Simply stated foreigners are unwilling to invest as they do not trust the government i.e do not trust WAPDA will pay for the electricity which they could provide.
The potential for Wind Energy exists in the lower SIND region. Did you know that there is wind corridor that passes from lower SINd into Rajistan. ANd INDia has set up WIND turbines which produce 10,000 MW while we have been talking about the potential for the past 5 years.
You can enable this by getting the media to put up a timeline from program conception to completion for WIND energy. And lets go ahead and add 10,000 of alternate energy to the national grid.
Cost of Wind is $3 per WATT. So a 1000 MW would require an investment of a billion dollars.
Hope you read this
Warm Regards

Dear Marvi:
Your questions are right! a-Are our national interests different to those of foreign powers? b-Are our national interests different to those of the militants? Sooner Pakistani leadership answers it better it is for them..Though there is another question…who is really the supreme commander now?
Keep up the good work!

If Pakistani Govt would:Start local employment schemes by using the locals of each area—It could employ the poor and the neediest into municipality and development: Under a standard program for all the country.This would develop the country’s infrastructure and provide millions of jobs. The key being only locals of each area should be employed into their municipality.
This would further develop a record of each municipality and would serve as a head count board also.
All municipality must register its residents and issue a health card drivers licenses and of-course a Identity card.
A self Help Program run by each municipality: Each residents pays for his section of the side-walk [ across their house] Along with a green patch outside each house [if extra space available]
1] Start a program to build side walks in all urban and rural built-up areas.
2] Garbage incinerators like kilns maned and run under the supervision of the municipality.
3] Garbage pick-up points in all municipalities.
4] Public showers in all municipalities again maned under the municipality.[the ha mams of the old]
5] Allocation of public parks mandatory under govt rules and municipality.
6] Street sweeps under the municipality.
7] Gardeners to maintain the parks and green patch outside each house.
Sobia Saleem.
The Govt of Pakistan should directly buy all cash crops and distribute them to its stores in all municipalities. In this way we would have avoided hoarding middle-manning and would have fed our citizens.
In the second phase all municipalities should ensure that each resident of its municipality gets a ration of oil/wheat/rice/dals/onions/garlic ginger on a card on a weekly basis and in this way the govt ensures that no resident is hungry or starving ever.

Hello Marvi,
did nt know you were in Karachi
.
anyway regarding this economic crisis I just want to say that these people shoud act soon..they still seem a bit uncertain about what exactly they have to do while the time is running out.Our reserves won’t last beyond decemeber if aid does’nt come in.
Shaukat tareen in today’s press conference vaguely talked about plan A,B and C.He is hoping that we don’t have to go to the IMF because friends of pakistan will give us money to come out of this mess.Well first of all Mr Shaukar Tareen has no idea how much they will give us if anything and when they will give it because we need aid soon.I don’t know if they have already started talking to the IMF or are they going to wait till the friends of pakistan conference? ..this is really
wasting too much time because it will create futher panic among people here and more dollarization could take place…this govt has already wasted 8 months and allowed this economic crisis to go from bad to worse…not to mention in april,2008 they cancelled about 5 billion dollars worth of gdrs which were in the pipeline for political reasons out of jeolousy.
I want to mention one other thing, theres this rhetoric being played out all over the media that Shaukat Aziz is responsible for this crisis because he created an import based economy which is absoultely ridiclous.Shaukat Aziz improved the brand image of Pakistan which attracted foreign investment,the jump in foreign reserves to 16 billion dollars would not have been possible without that.
The present economic crisis happened because :
1.Oil prices and food prices went up all over the world which caused pressure on our import bill
2.Our finace minister Ishaq Dar in April,2008 cancelled transations which could have fetched us 5 billion dollars out of jeolousy and hate for Musharraf
3.We did not have a plan in march or april of 2008 when high oil prices started putting pressure on our economy…while other countries in the region like India,China were devising strategies to deal with high oil prices ,our ruling coalition was farting over tea parties discussing Musharraf and the chief justice.
4.not only did our govt not act at that time ,but our finance minister Ishaq Dar started issuing irresponsible statements which hurt the investors confidence and flight of capital started.
October 18, 2008 at 7:33 pm
Pakistan requires land-reform…though it is too late and pointless to conduct a forceful eviction and confiscation of land in the country. The other solution would be market-based reform in which the State buys land at near-market rates.
Perhaps the State can nationalize enough agriculture to properly feed the whole population…i.e. produce crops and redistribute it at utility (below market) rates. The feudal lords who the State bought off from can use their new wealth to either leave Pakistan for good…OR conduct manufacturing ventures.
Ideally the feudal lords can set-up ventures with foreign firms to produce consumer goods for the Pakistani market as well as cater to regional markets in Central Asia, Middle East, South Asia…and perhaps even tap into Africa.
If the State nationalizes staple industries such as agriculture, textile, etc, as well as gas, minerals and coal…Pakistan would have total control over its wealth. Secondly, the tax system can be replaced with the Pakistani people buying off the State (food, gas, electricity, etc)…the State can generate huge revenues.
The private industry can and should focus on manufacturing in consumer goods, automobiles, ships, aircraft, etc.
In any case, initial costs to conduct market land reform could be acquired from China, Saudi Arabia as well as the E.U. In fact…the E.U. promised grants if the elections went smoothly…what happened to that money?
October 18, 2008 at 8:05 pm
Present Govt should be ashame of themselves…
why r they blaming previous govt for all da destruction happening in our country?
when previous govt was in power…
there were no such issue like WHEAT CRISIS etc..
and even USA could not target pakistan as MUSHARRAF was strongly standing for pakistan..
but now on one hand they say that we wont attack pakistan.. and on da second hand their planes are roaming in pakistani areaz..
MUSHARRAF ko DAMS bananay diye hotay tou kabhi ELECTRICITY crisis nahi hotay..INDIA se itna paani aata hai.. wo sub WASTE hota hay :@
kash hum logoun mai aqal hoti tou hum sahi ka sath derahay hotay..
abhi bhi time hai..
this govt should build DAMS..
atleast last govt k saaaray PENDING projects hi complete ker dein apni will POWER se tou PAKISTAN ka BHALLA hojayega..
JIYO MUSHARRAF!

Yes, As post-572 suggests you need to join another party but which one? look at the present days political parties ….all are crap…..full of idiots. Where minister of Education has no education ….MNet get their way to assembly either by using money or relegion. You find US agents all around in Jinnah cap, pagari, topi, and sherwani.
Madam, if you realy want to save Pakistan … impart education …speacially in rural ares.

It is so painful to listen to Commissioner, Indus Water,Jamat Ali Shah self assumed pearls of wisdom on his idiotic defense against Indian violations of Chenab waters on making of dams.Yesterday,his idea that we shall demand –water for water and no compensation for loss of cultivation consequently crops, dollars or rupees [as if are surplus in food and cash rich country] :sounded as ‘ tooth for tooth’ when India has made us toothless by her wicked machinations by executing her self serving projects on Chenab- Jehlum and afterwards turning into ‘ controversy’ for us to loose or traditionally agree to their stance. Similarly Governor State Bank sounded belonging to richest country where people-casionists: twenty times a day may convert one instrument into another, fly dollars to middle east – as dollars are flowing out of State Bank. The two statements show the uncontrolled and uncalled authority the state functionaries are perhaps enjoying without any central policy guiding it. The last eight months of present GOP show the worst example of state management of national issues on our bloodline-oxygen: name any issue, food,water,economy,money, securtity,domestic or foreign affairs.Every state functionary is at his own and to the complacence of all political parties especially the sleeping coalition partners who are happy being in golden-chairs.The poor have been made made into horrible example of deprivations.

for all those who feel the only productive thing to do for MNAs is to build schools … a suggestion …read Oct 19 page and many others.
We have a bigger responsibility to point out issues and then campaign for their solutions through better legislation. and we also need to concentrate on our own focus areas.
In environment if there is a serious issue which needs attention then I try and focus on that and project solutions to govt through active campaigning on floor of house and projection in media. this in long run can achieve many big goals.

As you said in Post 565 about garbage pick up vans, i guess there are plenty of vans under supervision of CDGK (Karachi) But the fact of the matter is that they arent working upto the standards they should be working. What is suggest is that this shouldnt be under CDGK, a contract should be given to PVT company because our government system lacks standards, and PVT companies can manage things well.
Public Showers:
Public Washrooms cannot be managed by the muincipalties how will they manage public showers? Public washrooms are in such a bad condition that you cant even drive near by.
Street Sweeps:
I see sweepers sweeping the streets every morning but what they do is that they sweep the streets and they just create heap of garbages under every electric pole that is on the road. And then they would never return to pick that mess up. Maybe they would once in a month. What i suggest is that we need to educate the workers of the muincipalty , we need to show them how the system works in foreign countries, and then we even need to educate the people that they shouldnt litter the streets. There are people who would clean there house and then they would throw the garbage on the road adjacent to their main gates. Pakistan should be treated as their own home, and each and every citizens duty is to keep his/her country neat and clean.
Again in all cases the bottom line would be that we need to educate the masses, This is the only way our country can prosper.
Long Live Pakistan.

An information to share with you guys that our leaders will now make trade of this project and get the money to fill in their bank accounts.!
Estimated Thar Coal Reserves are around 850 Trillion Cubic Feet.
Equal to 400 Billion Barrels of oil .
Which is equal to oil reserves of Saudia Arabia and Iran Together.
Investment Required is $4 Billion.
By only using 2% of that coal reserves, Pakistan can generate 20,000 MW of Electricity for almost 40 years.
Current government clims the project to fail coz we hav bin told that the coal reserves have excessive moisture.
But infact new power generation technology needs coal with heavy moisture!
Just think how they will rip our homeland and how they will fill up their accounts!
sad!

Just want to mention something here to those of us who are in love with democracy.China has no democracy ,it has been ruled by the same communist party for the past 60 years and look where it is now..it has become the 2nd largest economy of the world.It enacted reforms in 1978 which brought huge success..One of those reforms was Land Reforms:where they successfully
re-distributed agriculture land on a family owned basis to poor farmers in rural areas,it brought huge growth in the agriculture sector and reduced poverty by 20%.This is something that our ruling class would never want to do because most of them come from a feudal background.Land reforms or tax on agriculture may be want IMF wants us do ,but it will never happen not untill this feudal class goes out of power…and for those of you who think that can happen through democracy… good luck!.
