Mother of All Scandals
Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif Sb.
Salaam.
Today (31 May, 2013) it has been reported that ministry of finance expects to earn $1 billion from the auction of 3G telecom license, during the first three months of your government. Link:- http://jang.com.pk/jang/may2013-daily/31-05-2013/u148138.htm
In this regard, some facts are placed before you to judge for yourself that why this telecom auction can and must generate much more than $1 billion.
PPP government finance minister Abdul Hafeez Sheikh, had budgeted a figure of ONLY $800 million income in the FY 2011-12 (this is on record and can be confirmed from the documents), for which auction was planned in March, 2012, for NOT ONLY 3G but 4G LTE and 5G LTE-A.
Just imagine 4G LTE and 5G LTE-A were to be given free with the auction of 3G. Whereas, in April, 2010 India ONLY auctioned 3G, for a whooping amount of $15 billion. Now after over 3 years, this figure almost may be equal to $20 billion.
Here, the question arises was Indian economy or telecom density size (at that time in 2011-12 when Pakistan went for the aborted auction) was more than 18.75 times bigger than Pakistan’s economy and telecom density? Sir, all this gap was to be made up with corruption and corruption alone.
Plus the mother of all corruption was the plan (clearly written in the tender that 4G LTE and 5G LTE-A license was to be given free along with 3G) to plunder the national wealth with future telecom technology licenses, to be gifted free of cost.
Here, again the question arises that when in the year 2004 Pakistan auctioned the 2G telecom license we didn’t give 3G license for free. And now when in 2012, we went for the auction of 3G, why advance technologies of the future were being given for FREE. (currently we are on 2G, whereas Kabul, India has 3G and Oman 4G LTE).
In view of the foregoing, I am more than 100% sure that now when we are entering middle of the year 2013, if the 3G (along with 4G LTE & 5G LTE-A) auction is done in an intelligent, smart and honest manner, Pakistan can very easily fetch anything between 2-5 billion USD.
Last but not the least, I would humbly like to inform that by the grace of Allah, first I single handedly convinced the government in 2011 to go for the auction of the 3G license. And, later on again in the year 2012, I had to wage a full fledged war to stop the government after the issuance of tender, to abort their nefarious designs and plans to indulge in mother of all corruptions.
In this regard, I had the FULLEST support from Senator Pervaiz Rashid and Ms Anusha Rehman & Prof. Ahsan Iqbal Sahab. Geo, Dunya & Ary TV media also fully supported me in this Jihad against the mother of all scandals. Moreover, Mr. Zahid Malik of Pakistan observer and Transparency International Pakistan, also played a very active part in stopping the government going the wrong way in this case. My salute to all these patriotic Pakistanis.
Best regards,
Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad
