Unleashing the Potential: Creating a Street Crimes Control Force with Unemployed Graduates to Combat Karachi’s Crime Epidemic

Karachi, the vibrant heartbeat of Pakistan, pulsates with energy and opportunity. Yet, beneath its bustling facade lies a shadow—a relentless surge in street crimes that threatens the safety and security of its residents. Despite the efforts of law enforcement agencies, the problem persists, demanding innovative solutions that address the root causes while empowering the community. Enter the Street Crimes Control Force—a bold, out-of-the-box initiative that harnesses the talents of unemployed male and female graduates to tackle Karachi’s crime epidemic head-on.

The concept is simple yet revolutionary: recruit unemployed graduates from diverse academic backgrounds and equip them with the necessary training, resources, and support to patrol the city’s streets, deter criminal activity, and assist law enforcement agencies in maintaining law and order. By tapping into the untapped potential of this demographic, we not only address the scourge of unemployment but also create a dedicated force of community-minded individuals invested in the safety and well-being of their fellow citizens.

At the heart of this initiative lies the recognition of the multidimensional nature of street crimes and the need for a holistic approach to address them effectively. Traditional law enforcement tactics alone are insufficient to combat the complex socio-economic factors driving criminal behaviour. By empowering unemployed graduates to serve as ambassadors of peace and guardians of their communities, we not only expand the reach of law enforcement but also foster a sense of ownership and accountability among citizens.

The benefits of such a program are manifold. Firstly, it provides gainful employment opportunities to a segment of the population that is often overlooked and marginalized. Unemployment not only robs individuals of their dignity and self-worth but also breeds resentment and disillusionment, making them susceptible to recruitment by criminal elements. By offering meaningful employment, we not only empower graduates to support themselves and their families but also provide them with a sense of purpose and belonging.

Secondly, the Street Crimes Control Force serves as a force multiplier for law enforcement agencies, augmenting their capabilities and extending their reach into communities that are often underserved and neglected. Trained in conflict resolution, de-escalation techniques, and community engagement, these graduates act as a bridge between law enforcement and the public, fostering trust, cooperation, and collaboration. By establishing positive relationships with residents, they gather valuable intelligence, identify hotspots, and deter criminal activity before it escalates.

Moreover, the diversity of skills and backgrounds among Street Crimes Control Force recruits enriches the program, bringing a wide range of perspectives, experiences, and expertise to the table. From social work and psychology to IT and engineering, each graduate brings unique talents and insights that can be harnessed to address the root causes of crime and develop innovative solutions tailored to the needs of their communities. By tapping into this pool of talent, we unleash the full potential of Karachi’s youth to drive positive change and build a safer, more resilient city for all.

Critics may argue that entrusting civilian recruits with law enforcement duties poses risks and challenges, including concerns about training, accountability, and legal authority. However, these concerns can be addressed through rigorous screening, training, and oversight mechanisms to ensure that recruits are well-prepared and equipped to handle their responsibilities professionally and ethically. Moreover, by working in partnership with law enforcement agencies, the Street Crimes Control Force can operate within the framework of existing laws and regulations, complementing rather than supplanting traditional policing efforts.

In addition to addressing immediate security concerns, the Street Crimes Control Force plays a pivotal role in addressing the underlying socio-economic factors driving criminal behaviour. Through outreach programs, education initiatives, and community development projects, recruits work hand-in-hand with local residents to tackle issues such as poverty, unemployment, drug addiction, and lack of access to social services. By addressing these root causes, we not only reduce the prevalence of street crimes but also create a more inclusive and equitable society where all citizens can thrive.

Furthermore, the Street Crimes Control Force serves as a model of innovation and empowerment that can be replicated and scaled in other cities and regions grappling with similar challenges. By harnessing the power of unemployed graduates to address pressing social issues, we unlock a vast reservoir of talent and potential that is often overlooked and underutilized. From combating environmental degradation to promoting civic engagement and entrepreneurship, the possibilities are endless when we invest in our youth and harness their energy and creativity for the greater good.

In conclusion, the creation of a Street Crimes Control Force staffed by unemployed graduates represents a bold and visionary approach to combating Karachi’s crime epidemic. By harnessing the talents of this untapped demographic, we not only address the scourge of unemployment but also empower communities to take ownership of their safety and security. Through collaboration, innovation, and collective action, we can build a safer, more resilient city where all residents can live, work, and thrive without fear.

Rebuilding Pakistan’s Economic Foundation: A Call to Action

In the landscape of global economics, Pakistan stands at a critical juncture, grappling with challenges that demand urgent attention and innovative solutions. While it’s easy to dwell on the weaknesses plaguing the Pakistani economy, it’s imperative to recognize that amidst adversity lies opportunity. Despite its vulnerabilities, there are aspects of Pakistan’s economy that hold promise for revitalization and growth. However, unlocking this potential requires bold leadership, strategic planning, inside out rebuilding, and a ruthless commitment to fundamental reforms.

At the heart of Pakistan’s economic conundrum lies a dependence on borrowing—a precarious foundation upon which the nation’s financial stability rests. As the adage goes, “any chain is as strong as its weakest link,” and in Pakistan’s case, this weak link threatens to undermine the entire economic edifice. With the government teetering on the brink of fiscal insolvency, urgent measures are needed to break free from the cycle of perpetual borrowing.

The call for an economic emergency and the formation of a specialized task force, headed by an eminent figure who is equally respected in the West and China, Dr. Ikram ul Haq (a world-renowned international taxation expert, economist, reformist and advocate supreme court), Dr. Ashfaq Hasan Khan, and Dr. Akmal Hussain (both of them are foreign qualified, internationally acclaimed and highly experienced experts on all the facets of the national and international economic affairs) underscores the gravity of the situation. This proposed initiative, operating under the umbrella of the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC), represents a paradigm shift in Pakistan’s approach to economic management. By harnessing the expertise of renowned international tax experts, economists, and reformists, Pakistan can chart a new course towards sustainable growth and development.

Central to this endeavor is a multifaceted approach aimed at addressing the root causes of Pakistan’s economic woes. This approach entails a recalibration of fiscal priorities, a restructuring of the energy sector, and a comprehensive overhaul of the taxation system. Rather than relying solely on borrowing to finance government expenditures, there must be an extremely strict effort to reduce wasteful spending and broaden the tax base with minimum disruption in the society.

One of the glaring disparities in Pakistan’s economic landscape is the stark contrast between the privileged elite and the marginalized masses. With over $17 billion per annum sucked by the elite privileges, there exists a glaring imbalance that undermines the principles of equity and social justice. Addressing this disparity requires not only fiscal prudence but also a commitment to redistributive policies that prioritize the needs of the most vulnerable segments of society.

Furthermore, the energy sector presents both a challenge and an opportunity for Pakistan’s economic revitalization. By investing in renewable energy sources and modernizing existing infrastructure, Pakistan can reduce its reliance on costly imports and mitigate the impact of high energy costs coupled with gas shortages on economic productivity. Additionally, initiatives aimed at promoting energy efficiency, minimizing theft and conservation can yield significant long-term dividends, both in terms of cost savings and environmental sustainability.

However, the success of any economic reform initiative hinges on political will and institutional capacity. Past efforts at reform have been hampered by bureaucratic inertia, vested interests, and short-term political calculations. To overcome these obstacles, there must be a collective commitment to transparency, accountability, and good governance. This entails not only enacting reforms but also ensuring their effective implementation and enforcement.

Moreover, the role of international partnerships and cooperation cannot be overstated in Pakistan’s journey towards economic revitalization. By leveraging external expertise, investment, and technical assistance, Pakistan can access new markets, transfer knowledge, and foster innovation. From forging trade agreements to participating in multilateral development initiatives, Pakistan must position itself as a proactive and reliable partner in the global economy.

In conclusion, while the challenges facing Pakistan’s economy are formidable, they are by no means are insurmountable. By embracing bold reforms, harnessing the expertise of seasoned professionals, and fostering a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, Pakistan can unlock its full economic potential. The proposed initiative to impose economic emergency and establish a specialized task force represents a critical first step towards this end. However, success will ultimately depend on the collective efforts of government, civil society, and the private sector to chart a new course towards prosperity and inclusive growth. As the world watches, Pakistan has the opportunity to rewrite its economic narrative and emerge as a beacon of resilience and progress in the global arena.

Babar Back at the Helm?

The Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) rumoured reappointment of Babar Azam as T20 captain has sent shockwaves through the cricketing world. While Azam’s batting talent is undeniable, his previous stint as white-ball leader ended on a disappointing note, marked by Pakistan’s underwhelming performances at the 2023 Asia Cup and ODI World Cup. This begs the question: Is Azam the answer to revive Pakistan’s T20 fortunes, or is this a recipe for repeating past mistakes?

Pakistan’s showing at the 2023 Asia Cup, where they finished just above Nepal and Afghanistan, was undeniably poor. However, focusing solely on results paints an incomplete picture. A more concerning aspect of Azam’s captaincy during this phase was the perception of favouritism in team selection. Critics allege instances where personal preferences may have overshadowed player form, hindering team balance.

Azam’s personal batting performances during the World Cup further stoked the fire of discontent. While his technique remains impeccable, his approach lacked the aggression demanded by the modern ODI game. Comparisons were drawn to legends like Sunil Gavaskar, whose style thrived in the bygone era of 60-over matches, a stark contrast to the current, fast-paced format.

If the PCB entrusts Azam with the captaincy again, his success will hinge on demonstrably addressing specific leadership weaknesses. Here are some key areas for him to address:

• Dispelling any lingering perception of favouritism is paramount. A meritocratic approach based on current form and player compatibility will be crucial in creating a cohesive and motivated team environment.
• Fine-tuning his batting to suit the demands of T20 cricket is essential. This might involve working on increasing his strike rate, particularly during the powerplay overs, where maximizing scoring opportunities is critical. In this regard, our team must aim 80+ runs in the first six power play overs. Additionally, developing a wider array of strokes to counter diverse bowling attacks would be beneficial.
• Strengthening communication skills and projecting a more assertive and proactive captaincy on and off the field is vital. Inspiring confidence in his team through clear communication and decisive leadership will be crucial in high-pressure T20 situations.
• Demonstrating a deeper understanding of tactical nuances specific to T20 cricket is essential. This includes effectively utilizing bowling resources, setting intelligent and aggressive field placements based on batter’s strengths, and making calculated captaincy decisions under pressure during the match.

Summing up, Babar Azam specifically needs improvement in the following areas:

1. Must look and exhibit fairness and impartiality in the selection of playing eleven
2. Selflessness in batting and must not play slow to get to the 50 and then accelerate to improve strike rate
3. Decisions must be bold, aggressive, and positive
4. Field placings must be proactive and anticipatory
5. Must radiate positive body wibes through strong verbal communication skills

By demonstrably addressing these areas, Babar Azam has the potential to lead Pakistan’s T20 team into a new era of success. However, the coming months will be crucial. The PCB’s final decision and, if chosen, Azam’s approach to leading the team in this fast-paced format will be under intense scrutiny. His ability to adapt, communicate assertively, and strategically guide his players will be the key factors determining whether this potential reappointment translates into on-field victories that reignite Pakistan’s T20 dominance

An Urgent Open Letter to the MD IMF..!

Dear Managing Director of IMF,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention the unique challenges facing Pakistan’s economy and to appeal for your support in addressing them.

Despite enduring significant economic and infrastructural losses over the past two decades, Pakistan has remained steadfast in honoring its commitments to the IMF. Our track record of timely loan repayments is a testament to our unwavering dedication to financial responsibility.

However, it is important to acknowledge the immense hardships we have faced. As a frontline state in the War on Terror, Pakistan has borne a disproportionate burden, both in terms of human lives lost and economic costs incurred. The toll of over 90,000 lives lost (compared with 5000 KIA of 49 NATO countries during WOT in Afghanistan) and economic losses exceeding $1000 billion cannot be overstated. The ongoing threat of terrorism continues to disrupt normalcy, with attacks occurring regularly across the country.

Furthermore, our economy has been ravaged by natural disasters, most notably the devastating floods of 2022, which resulted in losses exceeding $40 billion. These calamities have strained our resources and hindered our ability to achieve sustained economic growth.

In light of these challenges, I implore the IMF to adopt a compassionate and pragmatic approach in its dealings with Pakistan. Rather than imposing stringent conditions on future loans, I urge the IMF to consider providing greater flexibility, such as waiving interest payments on previous loans and restructuring principle payments. Such measures would provide much-needed relief and enable us to focus on rebuilding our economy and infrastructure.

Additionally, I propose a novel solution to bolster Pakistan’s economy: advocating for developed countries to implement a zero-rated tax regime on imports from Pakistan. This initiative would stimulate trade and investment, creating opportunities for economic growth and development.

I believe that by working together collaboratively, we can overcome the challenges facing Pakistan’s economy and pave the way for a brighter future. Your attention and consideration to these matters are sincerely appreciated.

Thank you for your time and continued support.

Sincerely,

Pakistan’s Urban Surge: Building for the Future with Smart Cities

Pakistan’s urban landscape is undergoing a significant transformation. Fueled by a fast-growing population, megacities like Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi are experiencing a strain on infrastructure and resources. This rapid urbanization presents a complex challenge, but also an opportunity for innovative solutions. The current government’s tenure and timing offers a window to address this pressing issue by strategically developing new, future-proofed cities.

The Urgency of Urban Planning:

Pakistan’s population is projected to reach 400 million by 2050, with a significant portion migrating to urban centers. This population boom creates a multitude of challenges. Existing infrastructure struggles to keep pace with the growing demand for housing, transportation, sanitation, and essential services. Traffic congestion grinds commuters to a halt, air quality suffers, and access to basic amenities becomes strained. Traditional urban planning approaches of recklessly constructing overhead bridges and underpasses are no longer sufficient to accommodate this unprecedented growth.

Learning from the East: The Wuhan Model:

The Pakistani government can draw inspiration from successful urban development projects in other developing nations. China’s Wuhan, for instance, serves as a prime example. Over the past few decades, Wuhan has transformed into a modern metropolis through strategic planning and infrastructure investment. The city boasts efficient public transportation systems, green spaces, and a thriving technology sector. Key features of Wuhan’s development include:

Focus on Sustainability:

Wuhan prioritizes eco-friendly practices, with green building initiatives, renewable energy sources, and well-planned waste management systems.

Smart Technology Integration:

The city leverages technology to optimize resource utilization and enhance citizen services. Traffic management systems, digital governance platforms, and interconnected infrastructure contribute to a more efficient and livable urban environment.

Knowledge-Based Economy:

Wuhan fosters innovation by establishing research centers, universities, and incubators for tech startups. This focus on knowledge creation attracts skilled professionals and drives economic growth.

Building a Network of Future Cities in Pakistan

Pakistan, with its participation in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) framework, has a unique opportunity to leverage Chinese expertise and investment for developing its own network of future cities. Here’s how this vision can be realized:

Strategic Locations:

The six new cities can be strategically located across Pakistan’s provinces, considering factors like existing infrastructure, resource availability, and economic potential. One city could be established in each of the four provinces (Sindh, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Baluchistan), with additional cities in Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK). This geographically dispersed approach promotes balanced regional development.

Master Plans with a Long-Term Vision:

Each city should be meticulously planned with a long-term vision in mind. Master plans should incorporate sustainable practices, smart technology integration, and a focus on specific industries or sectors to create unique economic identities for each city.

Public-Private Partnerships:

The government can leverage public-private partnerships (PPPs) to attract private investment for infrastructure development, housing projects, and commercial ventures within these new cities. PPPs can ensure a steady influx of funds and expertise for efficient project execution.

Challenges and Considerations:

Developing six new cities simultaneously is a massive undertaking. Careful consideration needs to be given to several challenges:

Funding:

Securing sufficient funding will be crucial. Utilizing CPEC resources, attracting foreign direct investment (FDI), and exploring innovative financing models like green bonds are potential solutions.

Human Capital Development:

These cities will require a skilled workforce. Investment in education and training programs is essential to ensure a ready pool of talent for the emerging industries within these urban centers.

Social Cohesion:

Integrating new populations and fostering a sense of community within these planned cities requires proactive measures. Investing in social infrastructure like community centers and parks, along with promoting cultural exchange and inclusivity initiatives, will be vital.

Building a Brighter Urban Future:

The development of future cities in Pakistan presents a transformative opportunity. By learning from successful models like Wuhan, Pakistan can create well-planned, sustainable urban centers that cater to the needs of a growing population. These cities can serve as engines of economic growth, attracting investment, fostering innovation, and generating employment opportunities.

However, success hinges on meticulous planning, robust funding mechanisms, and a focus on social development. By embarking on this ambitious project, Pakistan can pave the way for a brighter urban future, fostering a more prosperous and equitable society for all its citizens.

Pakistan of 2029..!

Dear Mr. Shehbaz Sharif
Prime Minister Pakistan,

اسلام وعلیکم

I extend my warmest congratulations on your resounding election by the National Assembly of Pakistan to lead our nation as its Prime Minister for the next five years.
Your today’s speech in the National Assembly comprehensively addressed key issues crucial for propelling our country forward. While commendable, I suggest future considerations include acknowledging the invaluable partnership with China, a steadfast ally. I encourage your early engagement with China to further strengthen our bilateral ties.
As an esteemed leader, you are likely familiar with Dr. Henry Kissinger’s timeless wisdom: “The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been.” Additionally, Dr. James Leong’s insights on leadership, particularly exemplified by Mr. Lee Kuan Yew’s transformative governance in Singapore underscores the importance of meritocracy in team selection.
Given the weight of your responsibilities, selecting a capable chief of staff is paramount. This individual should possess a wealth of experience in navigating the complexities of governance, both domestically and internationally, with a steadfast commitment to public service and the welfare of our citizens.
Moreover, from the day one, you will receive suggestions and summaries about increasing rent, rates and taxes to run the affairs of the government, which will further break the back of the poor, lower middle- and middle-class population, as was done during the previous 16 months tenure of the PDM government. In this regard, the best solution was to assign the task to the concerned suggesting such enhancements to reverse the current ratio of 20% direct taxation and 80% indirect taxation; and put a cut of 50% in not only the salaries of the senior government officials, but in their perks and TA/DA as well.
Your commitment to merit-based appointments is laudable and pivotal in shaping an effective administration. This responsibility entrusted upon you by Allah (SWT) necessitates the formation of a team that will leave a lasting legacy, steering Pakistan towards prosperity and fulfilment of its potential.
As history reveals, personalities shape destinies. Hence, the strategic significance of ministries, particularly finance, foreign affairs, interior, and defence, can not be overstated. Foreign policy, in particular, plays a pivotal role in safeguarding our national interests and fostering international cooperation.
The importance of foreign ministry can be gauged by the following famous quote of the late US President John F. Kennedy:
Quote. “Domestic policy can only defeat us; Foreign policy can kill us.” Unquote.
Looking ahead, envisioning Pakistan’s trajectory by 2029 is imperative. I propose ambitious yet achievable targets encompassing economic growth, poverty alleviation, environmental stewardship, and social development.
I will suggest the following stage for Pakistan in 2029:

1. Exports: $150 billion; with specially focusing on agriculture, IT, and tourism.
2. GDP: $1000 billion
3. Foreign Loans: $50 billion
4. 100 million population to be taken above the poverty line of having income above $2/day.
5. Pollution control and environmental protection laws are to be strictly implemented all over the country.
6. Area under forest cover to be tripled in five years.
7. All school going kids are to be provided the facility of schools.
8. Excellent health facilities at all Tehsils.
9. Provision of clean drinking water facilities at all Tehsil levels.
10. Completely autonomous and authorised local bodies system in place all over the country.
11. Aim for minimum 5 gold medals in the 2028 Olympic Games and 10 gold medals in the 2026 Asian Games.
12. All major cities have an efficient garbage collection mechanism.
13. Turnaround of all the government organisations to make them profitable.
14. All district headquarters to have efficient public transport system.
15. Worth of Rupee to improve so its values stay at Rupees 150 to a USD.
16. All divisional headquarters cities are to be upgraded as smart cities.
17. Last but not least, inculcating the rule of law in the genes of the Pakistani population, for which the top echelons of the society must set personal examples to fully abdicate the VIP culture.
    The above targets can only be achieved by revamping our entire civil service and reforms in Police, Judicial and taxation systems, and by redefining our foreign policy, which should be completely aligned towards achieving the above national interests. Moreover, specific suggestions for a fast track national growth and development in key sectors are provided at the article titled ‘Navigating Storm: Uniting Pakistan Through Shared Goals’ Link :- https://www.snayyar.com/navigating-storm-uniting-pakistan-through-shared-goals.html

Reinvigorating our foreign office demands a paradigm shift in mindset and approach. Empowering our diplomatic corps to act as proactive agents of change and economic ambassadors for Pakistan is indispensable. This transformation requires visionary leadership and strategic investments in training and capacity-building.

In conclusion, I offer my sincerest wishes for success in your endeavours. May your tenure be marked by transformative leadership, steadfast commitment to our nation’s ideals, and unwavering dedication to the well-being of every Pakistani.

With utmost respect and best regards,

Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad

Influencing International Diplomacy: Changing India’s Diplomatic Discourse

Influencing International Diplomacy: Changing India’s Diplomatic Discourse

In my unwavering commitment to national service, I effectively advocated, within a brief 34-day timeframe, for the exclusion of references to “Pakistan” from joint statements between India and prominent international partners, including Japan, the United States, the UK, EU, Germany, Denmark, France, and five Nordic countries.

Despite encountering written death threat, purportedly from the Indian intelligence agency RA&W, I ensured that the Indian government omitted the name “Pakistan” as an alleged exporter of terrorism, along with excluding mentions of the “Mumbai and Pathankot attacks” from crucial joint statements. Noteworthy engagements included communication via Twitter with Prime Minister Boris Johnson and EU President Ursula von der, as well as the dissemination of open letters addressed to Prime Minister Kishida Fumio of Japan and the President Joe Biden of the United States, outlining concerns.

A pivotal achievement resulting from these efforts was the removal of the term “Pakistan” from Paragraph 17 of the U.K.-India joint statement dated April 22, 2022, following Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s visit to India. This change underscores a shared commitment to combat terrorism universally, without singling out specific countries. Its significance is heightened when considering India’s substantial influence over British leaders, as noted by former British PM Gordon Brown in his extremely biased memoir, highlighting Pakistan’s perceived vulnerability and association with terrorism.

Furthermore, I successfully engaged with European leaders, including Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany, President Emmanuel Macron of France, and the leadership of five Nordic countries, persuading them to refrain from including references to Pakistan, Mumbai, or Pathankot in subsequent joint statements with India.

These historic diplomatic successes are a testament to my proactive approach, involving the authorship of open letters to world leaders. These letters aim to expose India’s alleged false allegations against Pakistan while shedding light on human rights violations and acts of genocide in Kashmir and India against Muslim minorities. For detailed information and links to the open letters, please refer below.

1. Japan
   If we note that on March 19, 2022 the India-Japan joint communique literally named and shamed Pakistan at Para # 8 as below:
   India-Japan Summit Joint Statement Partnership for a Peaceful, Stable and Prosperous Post-COVID World March 19, 2022
   Para # 8.
   The Prime Ministers expressed deep concern at the growing threat of terrorism and underlined the need for strengthening international cooperation to combat terrorism in a comprehensive and sustained manner. They called upon all countries to work together for rooting out terrorist safe havens and infrastructure, disrupting terrorist networks and their financing channels, and halting cross-border movement of terrorists. In this context, they also called upon all countries to ensure that territory under their control is not used to launch terror attacks, to expeditiously bring to justice the perpetrators of such attacks. They reiterated their condemnation of terrorist attacks in India, including 26/11 Mumbai and Pathankot attacks and called upon Pakistan to take resolute and irreversible action against terrorist networks operating out of its territory and comply fully with international commitments including to FATF. They also concurred to strengthen counter-terrorism efforts in multilateral fora, and to work together on early adoption of the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism (CCIT) in the United Nations.

   Now, if, we go through the Joint Statement dated 8 September 2022 of Second Japan-India 2+2 Foreign and Defense Ministerial Meeting held in Tokyo, there was no mention of Pakistan as can be seen at the link given below:

   Here, it will not be out of place to mention that the above mentioned major tangible change in the Japanese foreign policy towards Pakistan was by the Sheer Mercy of Allah (SWT) achieved after the following letter dated 20 March 2022 was directly forwarded to the Japanese Prime Minister and other officials of their foreign office:

2. USA
   Joint Statement on the Fourth India-U.S. 2+2 Ministerial Dialogue April 12, 2022 (name of Pakistan is mentioned).
   Counterterrorism and Counter Narcotics
   The Ministers welcomed the convening of the 18th Meeting of the India-U.S. Joint Working Group on Counter Terrorism and the 4th Session of the India-U.S. Designations Dialogue in October 2021. The Ministers strongly condemned any use of terrorist proxies and cross-border terrorism in all its forms and called for the perpetrators of the 26/11 Mumbai attack, and Pathankot attack, to be brought to justice.
   They called for concerted action against all terrorist groups, including groups proscribed by the UNSC 1267 Sanctions Committee, such as al-Qa’ida, ISIS/Daesh, Lashkar-e-Tayyiba (LeT), and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), and Hizb ul Mujahideen. The Ministers called on Pakistan to take immediate, sustained, and irreversible action to ensure that no territory under its control is used for terrorist attacks. The Ministers committed to continued exchange of information about sanctions and designations against terror groups and individuals, countering violent radicalism, use of the Internet for terrorist purposes, and cross-border movement of terrorists. The Ministers also emphasized the importance of upholding international standards on anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism by all countries, consistent with FATF recommendations.
   Link: – https://www.mea.gov.in/bilateral-documents.htm?dtl/35184/Joint+Statement+on+the+Fourth+IndiaUS+22+Ministerial+Dialogue

In this regard, I immediately wrote another hard-hitting open letter to the US President and forwarded to other US government functionaries, the very next day (on 13 April 2022) proving with international and Indian documents and facts about all the Indian acts of terrorism and its role in sponsoring terrorism in Pakistan, as below:

Here, again by the Sheer Mercy of Allah (SWT) the name of Pakistan was removed in the Quad Joint Leaders’ Statement of MAY 24, 2022
Link: – https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/05/24/quad-joint-leaders-statement/
(where first time in the history of the USA, it specifically changed its foreign policy towards Pakistan) and although, Mumbai and Pathankot incidents were mentioned, but the name of PAKISTAN (which is a HUGE defeat of Indian foreign policy) is omitted as was clearly mentioned in the 12 April 2022 communique detailed above, where the name of Pakistan is clearly mentioned, which was the cardinal proof of the impact of my open letter dated 13 April 2022 to President of the USA.

The relevant paragraph of the QUAD Joint Leaders Statement dated 24 May 2022 (link provided above) is provided below where it was evident that the name of Pakistan was removed.

“We condemn unequivocally terrorism and violent extremism in all its forms and manifestations and reiterate that there can be no justification for acts of terror on any grounds whatsoever. We denounce the use of terrorist proxies and emphasize the importance of denying any logistical, financial or military support to terrorist groups which could be used to launch or plan terror attacks, including cross-border attacks. We reiterate our condemnation of terrorist attacks, including 26/11 Mumbai and Pathankot attacks. We also reaffirm UNSC Resolution 2593 (2021), which demands that Afghan territory must never again be used to threaten or attack any country or to shelter or train terrorists, or to plan or finance terrorist attacks. We emphasize the importance of upholding international standards on anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism by all countries, consistent with FATF recommendations. We reaffirm that in our fight against global terrorism, we will take concerted action against all terrorist groups, including those individuals and entities designated pursuant to the UNSC Resolution 1267(1999).”

3. U.K.
   I relentlessly continued to serve the motherland and ensured that the Indian government was not allowed to mention the name of PAKISTAN, as a country exporting terrorism, from the below reproduced Para 17 of the U.K.-India joint statement dated 22 April 2022, issued after the conclusion of PM Boris Jhonson’ visit to India in April 2022. In fact, I Tweeted to the British PM even before his start of visit to India, my open letters to PM Japan (dated 20 March 2022) and to the President of the USA (dated 13 April 2022) which proved successful and the joint UK-India statement dated 22 April 22 did not mention Pakistan by name anywhere in the 40 paragraphs statement as detailed below.
   40 Paragraphs UK-India Joint Statement 22 April 2022.

By the sheer mercy of Allah (SWT) Pakistan’s name was specifically omitted from the Para # 17 of the UK-India joint statement dated 22 April 2022 as below:
“Both leaders expressed zero tolerance for terrorism in all its forms – and for all those who encourage, support and finance terrorism or provide sanctuary to terrorists and terror groups – whatever their motivation may be. They called upon all countries to work together to root out terrorist safe havens and infrastructure, disrupt terrorist networks and their financing channels, and halt cross-border movement of terrorists. They reiterated their condemnation of terrorist attacks in India and the UK, including the Mumbai and Pathankot attacks. They emphasised the importance of perpetrators of terrorist attacks being systematically and expeditiously brought to justice, and agreed to work together to take concerted action against globally proscribed terrorist entities and individuals.”

   India – EU meeting in New Delhi was held between Indian PM Modi and President Ursula von der dated 25 April 2022. She was also Twitted my above open letters to the PM Japan and the President of the USA to inform her in advance not to mention Pakistan, Mumbai or Pathankot on the behest of India.
   The April 2022 India – EU Bilateral Brief is absolutely devoid of any references to Pakistan,5. Mumbai and Pathankot attacks as is evident from the Link provided below, which is another testimony of the success of my humble efforts:

5. Germany, Denmark and France
   Before the Indian PM Modi embarked upon his visit to the above named three countries and a joint meeting from Denmark with five Nordic countries (Denmark, Norway, Belgium, Finland and Iceland) letters were written by me to all these seven leaders exposing Indian genocidal acts against Muslim minorities, which India always tried to hide by falsely maligning and defaming Pakistan with untenable charges of terrorism in India.

   The stupendous success of my above letters can be gauged by the fact that none of the above named seven countries mentioned Pakistan in any manner. So much so, that France which has extremely close defense sales and diplomatic relations with India also refrained to take the Indians false bait regarding Pakistan, which is evident from the given links provided below of all the Indian joint statements with Germany, France, Denmark and five Nordic countries joint summit:

Through my direct engagement in the aforementioned international diplomatic campaign with world leaders, my objective was to expose and counter India’s endeavors to divert attention from its war crimes and genocide in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IIOJ&K) and inhuman treatment of Muslim minorities in India. This persistent endeavor underscores the influential role of individual advocacy in shaping diplomatic narratives and fostering a more accurate representation of geopolitical realities.

An Open Letter to Suhail Warraich

Subject: Congratulations on your Insightful Article and Reflections on Pakistan’s Future

Dear Suhail Warraich Sahab,

اسلام وعلیکم

I trust this message finds you well. I am writing to extend my heartfelt congratulations on the publication of your outstanding article today in the daily ‘Jang’ titled ‘We the Prisoners of the Throne of Politics’. Your insightful reflections on Pakistan’s current state of affairs are both timely and profound.

Your assertion regarding the critical juncture in Pakistan’s history resonates deeply. Indeed, our nation can ill afford further internal divisions and political turmoil. Now more than ever, it is imperative that we unite in the spirit of tolerance and coexistence for the collective survival and progress of our beloved country.

It is incumbent upon all stakeholders in the Pakistani state to acknowledge a fundamental truth: the pervasive bankruptcy experienced by the entire non-elite populace of Pakistan. The plight of the poor, lower-middle, and middle-class citizens, who have been deprived even of their basic sustenance, underscores the urgent need for a paradigm shift in governance.

The failures of past governance models underscore the necessity for a new approach. Rather than entrusting our fate to traditional political structures, I suggest a government comprised of fearless and selfless Pakistani experts. Such a government, untethered to foreign influences, holds the promise of steering Pakistan towards a more equitable and prosperous future.

In embracing this vision, we must remain guided by the timeless words: “Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen and ask yourself if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him.” Our actions must be driven by a steadfast commitment to uplifting the marginalized and vulnerable segments of society.

As we chart our course forward, let us heed the lessons of history, mindful of the consequences of inaction. The disintegration of the Soviet Union serves as a stark reminder of the perils of complacency and division.

In closing, I commend you for your unwavering dedication to fostering dialogue and progress within our nation. May your courageous insights continue to inspire positive change and unity among us.

Best Regards,

Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad

Navigating Storm: Uniting Pakistan Through Shared Goals

No nation achieves greatness without aligning its citizens towards a common vision. Unfortunately, Pakistan currently faces a stark reality: societal fragmentation stands at its peak. Among the contributing factors, one of the most crucial is the absence of clearly defined, short- and long-term national goals. This lack of direction leaves the nation adrift, yearning for a leader who can bridge divides and chart a course forward.
Pakistan needs a leader who embodies strength, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to the nation’s well-being. This individual must possess the ability to rally the people around a shared vision, fostering unity and purpose.
Firstly, this leader must assemble a team of exceptional talent, drawing upon the finest global professionals across diverse backgrounds. Merit, not identity, should guide these selections, ensuring a team united by competence and dedication.
Secondly, the leader must be a strategist, capable of attracting foreign investment, cultivating a skilled workforce, and nurturing a competitive business environment. This requires clear-sighted policies and effective diplomacy.
Equally critical is the leader’s commitment to social cohesion. Fostering harmony between diverse ethnicities and cultures is fundamental to national unity. Additionally, maintaining law and order is crucial for creating a stable and prosperous society.
Finally, the leader must navigate the complex world of international relations with deftness. This requires safeguarding Pakistan’s national interests through a balanced approach. Building strong relationships with regional and global partners, while pursuing strategic alliances, will enhance Pakistan’s reputation on the global stage.
Only through a shared vision, led by a capable and unifying leader, can Pakistan overcome its current challenges and navigate towards a brighter future.
In this connection, given below are the outlines of key national objectives and proposals to achieve these objectives through rule-based governance with meritocratic appointments cutting across party lines.

Objectives:

1. Fifty Years Planning:
   As a top most priority, government of Pakistan must immediately embark upon a 50 years national economic and development plan divided into 10 five years plans. This job can be assigned to a task force for completion in shortest possible time with the help of AI tools to be headed by Dr. Ashfaque Hasan Khan from NUST, who is a renowned professional in this field.
2. Reform Taxation System:
   Broaden the tax base to include more individuals and businesses. According to Dr. Ikram ul Haq, Pakistan which is a country of 241 million inhabitants, has an extremely narrow tax base; currently at 10 million individuals, out of which 5 million are tax return filers and only 3 million actually pay any tax. He further says that Pakistan’s total potential of tax revenue is PKR 20 trillion which is extremely surprising if compared with the fact that our total budget outlay of FY 23-24 is PKR 14.5 trillion and tax revenue collection target is PKR 9.5 trillion. This also reveals that our budget can be totally free of any new taxes.
    Simplify tax codes and reduce rates to incentivize compliance
    Implement 100% automation to minimize human intervention and corruption
3. Provide Cheap and Speedy Justice:
    Improve judicial infrastructure and increase judge capacity
    Simplify judicial procedures and leverage technology for efficiency
    Enhance police professionalism and accountability to reduce unnecessary litigation
4. Eliminate Street Crime and Terrorism:
    Strengthen police forces with training, technology, and competitive salaries
    Address root causes through poverty alleviation, education, and deradicalization programs
    Ensure swift, transparent, and fair justice through judicial reforms
   Street crimes and terrorism can never be eliminated by the sole efforts of the security apparatus. The entire population needs to be involved in this process by education, guidance and extremely lucrative incentives. Moreover, these crimes are also related to alarmingly increased drugs use in all the segments and strata of our society, for which a comprehensive proposal was submitted vide an article titled ‘How to transform – The most heroin addicted country?’ Link: –
   https://www.snayyar.com/how-to-transform-pakistan-the-most-heroin-addicted-country.html
5. Ensure Ruthless Transparency:
    Strengthen anti-corruption institutions and empower them to act independently
    Implement mandatory asset declarations for public officials
    Increase public access to government information through open data initiatives
6. Empower Local Governance:
    Grant maximum possible autonomy and resources to division-level units
    Encourage local-level planning and decision-making through citizen participation
    Improve service delivery in critical areas like healthcare, education, and sanitation
7. Improve Education Quality:
   Currently private school expenses have crossed all limits and become unbearably back breaking financial burden for the entire middle and lower middle-class citizens. As such, there is a most urgent and pressing need for improvement of public schools’ standards. Few suggestions are as below:
    Increase public investment in government schools and attract qualified teachers
    Introduce curriculum reforms aligned with 21st-century skills and needs
    Utilize technology for enhanced learning and accessibility
8. Revive Pak-Iran Gas Pipeline and Explore New Options:
    Expedite on top priority, the Pak-Iran gas pipeline project for affordable energy
    Explore undersea gas and petroleum pipelines from the Gulf region
    Promote renewable energy sources for long-term sustainability
9. Promote Paradoxical Agriculture:
   Promote PQNK (to be pronounced as picnic) stands for Paedar Qudratti Nizam Kashatqari, which means sustainable natural farming system (Paradoxical Agriculture):
   According to Asif Sharif (father of modern PA/PQNK Process) by adopting PA process Pakistan can generate a surplus of $ 20 billion exportable agricultural produce, whereas, currently we are importing around $ 10 billion food products, which means a net savings of $ 30 billion to the national exchequer. Moreover, PA process also saves 80% precious water resources and brings huge savings in the farmers input costs of all types of chemicals and seed needs.
    Provide farmers with training and resources to adopt water-efficient PA/PQNK techniques
    Introduce various incentives for shifting to Paradoxical farming process
    Provide incentives to farmers for purchase of PA/PQNK machines
10. Prioritize Export Processing Zones:
    The secret of Pakistan’s fast track industrial growth lies in the rapid operationalization of maximum possible Export Processing Zones on war footings. In this regard, the following is suggested:
     Streamline procedures and eliminate bureaucratic hurdles for investors
     Offer competitive tax breaks and infrastructure development in designated zones
     Facilitate ease of doing business to attract foreign investment and boost exports
11. Ban Export of Unprocessed Minerals:
    Pakistan is lucky to have a geologist Dr. Imran Ahmad Khan who has rare experience of geological survey in Pakistan, India, Spain, China and the USA. He says that our mineral resources are worth about $ 51 trillion, which is almost equal to the combined GDP of USA, China and Japan. In this regard, few suggestions are as below:
     Impose a complete ban (via a parliamentary legislation) on exporting unprocessed minerals
     Invest in local mineral processing industries to add value and create jobs
     Develop a clear policy framework for sustainable mining practices
     Immediately establish a Rare Earth Metal Authority of Pakistan, as all 17 REM’S are non-radio active.
12. Merge SUPARCO and PAF’s National Aerospace Science and Technology Park (NASTP) for speedy catching up with the progress of the regional countries and achieving the following objectives:
     Consolidate resources and expertise in space, AI, and robotics research
     Establish a national focus on technological advancements in these critical fields
     Accelerate Pakistan’s participation in the regional and global technology race
13. Revamp Higher Education System:
     Task HEC with modernizing university curricula and teaching methods
     Promote with policies and incentives the specific research in areas relevant to national development and global challenges
     Encourage collaboration between universities and industry for skills development
14. Eliminate Fake Medicines and Substandard Food Products:
     Establish a robust regulatory framework and strengthen enforcement mechanisms with death penalty for adulteration in food products and manufacturing and selling of substandard and fake medicines
     Invest in food and drugs safety testing labs and adopt strict quality control measures
     Encourage public awareness campaigns about counterfeit products and their dangers
15. Implement Strict Environmental Regulations:
     Enforce existing environmental laws and introduce stricter regulations where needed
     Invest in renewable energy and promote sustainable practices across industries
     Hold polluters accountable through harsh fines and other strict penalties
16. Information Technology:
    The world’s tech giants, like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Oracle, SAP, and Apple, are constantly seeking new frontiers for innovation and talent. Pakistan presents a compelling opportunity for these companies to establish Global Service Delivery Centers (GSDCs), offering a win-win scenario for both businesses and the nation. In this regard, a task force may be formed to accomplish this task in the minimum possible time, which may be headed by Muhammad Ziaullah Khan Chishti, a world-renowned Pakistani-American investor and business executive who founded Afiniti and TRG Global. He is also a famous inventor at world level on around 150 issued patents by 2018.
17. Fast Track Rejuvenation of CPEC:
    Pakistan’s overall industrial revival hinges upon the immediate rejuvenation of CPEC, which is an amazing vehicle and once in a life time golden opportunity for the coming generations. As such, extremely important task force needs to be formed and handed over to the most competent professional with a world view and international acclaim. In this regard, Ambassador (R) Syed Hasan Javed may be considered for appointment as chairman CPEC. He is the only living longest serving diplomat in China where he served for 10 years on two diplomatic assignments. He is also a world acclaimed writer of 10 books. His latest book titled ‘How China Became Rich’ – From Poverty to Prosperity (An Eyewitness Perspective) is a must read for every person in a leadership role in Pakistan. He served as Pakistan’s ambassador in Germany, Singapore and Mauritius. He has also worked as a diplomat in Zimbabwe, Tajikistan and Belgium. While in service, He was trained in higher educational institutions in Belgium, Geneva, Paris, Newport and Hawaii. He speaks fluent Chinese, Persian and has studied a number of other languages including Russian, German, French, and Arabic etc. He is author of several books on China. His books have been translated in Urdu and Chinese languages. He has served for six years as Director, Chinese Studies Centre of Excellence, National University of Science and Technology (NUST) Islamabad. He is the first Paksitani to be awarded ‘National Special Book Award Prize-2021’ by China.
    It is earnestly expected that by implementing these recommendations and prioritizing the outlined national objectives, Pakistan can realistically achieve significant progress towards becoming a secure, prosperous, and progressive nation within the next decade.
    The people of Pakistan have placed their trust in our national leaders. This trust comes with the expectation, not an obligation, that they choose to lead with courage, vision, integrity, and unwavering commitment to building a brighter future for all. Remember, the journey towards a brighter Pakistan requires the collaborative efforts of our leaders and citizens alike. Let us all embrace this opportunity with renewed dedication and optimism.

Iran’s Ambiguous Gambit: Navigating the Crossroads of India and Pakistan

The geopolitical landscape of the Indian Ocean has been roiled by a series of recent incidents involving Iran, India, and Pakistan. While Iran and Pakistan have historically enjoyed close and brotherly ties, New Delhi has also cultivated strategic relations with Tehran, particularly through the development of the Chabahar Port. This complex web of alliances and allegiances was thrown into disarray by two recent attacks attributed to Iran: one against a Pakistan on the night of 17 – 18 January 24 and another on the MV Chem Pluto oil tanker on 23 December 23, a mere 200 nautical miles off the Indian coast.

The attack on the Indian vessel sent shockwaves through New Delhi. India, a major global importer of oil, relies heavily on maritime trade for its economic well-being. The potential disruption of shipping routes, particularly in the Red Sea, could jeopardize about 30 billion dollars in exports. Further complicating matters, the US reportedly attributed the attack to Iran, adding a layer of tension to India’s already delicate balancing act between its partners and Washington.

Adding to the intrigue, the Pakistani attack came just 25 days after the Indian tanker incident. This seemingly unprovoked act fueled speculation about its motives. Was it a genuine retaliation for some perceived Pakistani hand by Iran’s rebels? Or was it, as some analysts suggest, a calculated move to appease India after the tanker attack, showcasing a willingness to demonstrate equidistance in a complex geopolitical dance?

The Indian Foreign Minister’s visit to Iran on January 14-15th, following his discussions on maritime security with the US secretary of state, further adds to the ambiguity. Did he possess concrete evidence from the US linking Iran to the tanker attack, leaving Tehran on the defensive? Or was the visit primarily aimed at bolstering regional connectivity through Chabahar, as publicly stated?

Regardless of the specific motives, the Iranian attacks have significantly impacted India’s strategic calculus. New Delhi must now carefully navigate the choppy waters of the Indian Ocean, balancing its burgeoning partnership with Iran, its longstanding alliance with the US, and its so called desire for regional stability. Ignoring any of these factors could lead to further instability and unpredictability in the region.

The Chabahar Port, once touted as a key symbol of India-Iran cooperation, now stands as a stark reminder of the fragility of such alliances. The question of whether Iran’s recent actions will ultimately strengthen or weaken the project remains unanswered. Only time will tell if India can successfully maneuver through this intricate geopolitical maze, ensuring its economic security while maintaining a semblance of pseudo regional peace.
