2:The Real Face of PPP Parlimentarian's Ethical &
Morality Level!
Federal Minister for Population Welfare Dr. Firdous Ashiq Awan and newly elected Secretary Information of PML-Q Like Minded Group Kashmala Tariq in Kal Tak use unparliamentary and uncivilised language leaving the anchor Javed Chaudhry of the News TV programme totally in shock.
Kal Tak was recorded specially on the occasion of “The Democracy Day” Javed Chaudhry invited three ladies, Federal Minister for Population Welfare Dr. Firdous Ashiq Awan who was representing PPP, Secretary information PMLQ like minded group and the spokesperson of Tehreek Insaf Dr. Shireen Mizari, to have some healthy talk on democracy but the ladies started taking loose live in front of the camera, and instead discussing the real issue, they started blaming each other by using a uncivilized language which never ever been spoken on any Pakistani TV programme before.
It all started when Kashmala Tariq blamed Firdous Ashiq awan by saying her “Lota” (the person who leaves one party by joining other” which Dr. Firdous Ashiq Awan responded quickly by saying “At least I did not come from Heera Mandi (Red light area in Lahore) and started my career as a prostitute”
While both senior politicians were having this loose talk Dr. Shireen Mizari tried to clam both of them by saying “please come to the point and discuss the real topic here democracy”. She also asked Federal Minister whether she was the member of PMLQ, which Dr. Firdous denied saying she did not started her political career from PMLQ, leaving Kashmala Tariq to laugh out loud. Kashmala tariq on a the lie that Dr. Firdous never joined PMLQ, laughed heavily, her laugh made Firdous Ashiq Awan really angry and in anger she said “at least I did
not use bedrooms for political gains”
This was the time when the Javed Chaudhry himself was speechless and with shocking face he said I am going to be mad at least don’t talk like this.
3:US Aid to pakistan
On June 16, 2009, the US Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee passed the Enhanced Partnership with Pakistan Act, known as the Kerry-Lugar Bill. The bipartisan act authorizes the provision to Pakistan of $1.5 billion annually in US aid. The bill, which awaits approval of the full chamber, has come under intense debate with regard to the conditions and benchmarks to be attached with any further aid for Pakistan.
In recent years, the country has been receiving some aid from the United States as its ally in the so-called “War on Terror.” However, it has been a difficult relationship: on the one hand, the aid has been considerably short of the cost Pakistan has been incurring in the war; on the other, the US has been exerting excessive pressure, continuously demanding that the regime of General Pervez Musharraf “do more.” Despite the huge losses that Pakistan has suffered in the war, and though it recognizes the need to provide aid to its South Asian ally, the US administration has tended to give the impression that Pakistan has not delivered a ‘performance’ commensurate with the funds given to it; to qualify for continuity of aid, it will have to do even more.
While Pakistan has been a recipient of US aid since the early years of its independence, the dabate has once again brought into focus the question that to what extent the US aid has been of any assistance in developing the political institutions in Pakistan. Keeping in view the current US aid dealings with Pakistan, it is helpful to view this situation in the historical context of the goals of US aid and the specific purposes underlying its provision to Pakistan.
The concept and form of US international aid have evolved a great deal since its initiation and institutionalization in the post-World War II landscape in the light of President Truman’s “Point Four” program. During his historic inaugural address on January 20, 1949, the President mentioned democracy several times and enumerated its advantages over communism. The President asserted that a just, fair and peaceful world is possible through democracy where “free nations can settle differences justly and maintain lasting peace.”
4:Corruption in rental power projects in
Pakistan
Today the world more than anything else needs energy resources and energy shapes out inform of electricity that runs almost everything in our households. Electricity is the epicenter of everything today If its flow is disrupted everything grinds to a halt. The very first time the word rental power peeps into our minds the first thing that we affiliate with it is the word “corruption” as we all probably have heard it often in the news, but let’s skim the surface and delve a bit deep to understand what it is and why do we actually need rental power plants in Pakistan? Before I dissect the issue for the benefit of our readers, I would like to shed some light on the ways through which electricity can be generated in Pakistan. It should be recalled that Sind is the most feasible region for wind power, having the production capacity for setting up wind mills and generating up to 35000 MW which is more
The scene is still seems to be vague. In an hearing of NRO Case, the supreme court was told that government was looking for a lawyer upon which it could trust to run the government's side while chief justice of Pakistan has asked the government to adopt all necessary measures otherwise the Prime Minister of Pakistan has to appear and proceed the case himself.[22]
