A write up written just after 82 days of the PMLN government’s take over : I am also afraid that your this single step may not forever seal, the fate of PMLN’s chances in coming to the power again, as and when the negative impact is gradually filtered down the line.
7 Questions for Mr. Ishaq Dar Finance Minister Pakistan
Posted at www.snayyar.com by Syed Nayyar Uddin on August 26, 2013 in Action Plan to Revive Pak Economy, My Views, Pakistan | Edit
Daily The News reports today that “Conditions of IMF met for $7.3 billion bailout package”.

Mr. Ishaq Dar kindly clarify the following 7 questions relating to the facts regarding the Pakistan’s economy..!
1. Firstly, you stated on the floor of the house that we are taking fresh loan from the IMF to repay the old IMF loan.
2. You also stated on the same floor of the house that the loan amount from the IMF will be $5.5billion at an interest rate of 3%, which was exorbitantly high interest rate considering that IMF had already decided in December, 2012 to give loan on ZERO interest rate to poor countries.
Kindly inform which country can be poorer than Pakistan, who was unable to even repay its loans?
Your kind attention is invited towards the following news item titled “IMF extends zero interest rates on poorer country loans” published by the daily “Pakistan Today” on 23 December, 2012 detailed news available at the link :- http://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2012/12/23/news/profit/imf-extends-zero-interest-rates-on-poorer-country-loans-2/
3. Secondly, you pledged on the floor of the house that loan terms will not be against the interests of Pakistan.
4. Then you increased the electricity tariff for the Pakistani industrial users by a whopping 70% to fulfil the IMF conditions for the loan.
5. Don’t you think that this power tariff increase will destroy our economy and create unemployment, as the increased cost of production of each and every item, under the use of the poorest of the poor, will make the goods highly expensive and the poor will become even more poorer?
In fact, your this step will ever be remembered in the history of Pakistan, as the one and only top most action which murdered the economy of the country and pushed additional millions of people below the poverty line.
I am also afraid that your this single step may not forever seal, the fate of PMLN’s chances in coming to the power again, as and when the negative impact is gradually filtered down the line.
If I were the PM Pakistan, would never have approved this fatal decision of increasing power rates of the already limping industry of Pakistan.
5. Why you earlier mislead the nation that $5.5billion is being taken for the repayment of the old loan and now the cat is out of the bag and the loan amount is actually $7.3billion?
6. The above fact at #5 also proves that you also wrongly said that this loan was being taken to repay the old loan.
7. Hope you remember the maiden speech of the PM in the Parliament house wherein, the PM promised with the nation on the floor of the house, that nothing will be hidden from the nation.
Then why you hid the fact that this loan is being taken NOT just for the repayment of the loan; and why you hid the fact that this loan amount was actually $7.3billion and not $5.5billion?
An early reply shall be highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad

Make Networking Less Stressful
Networking doesn’t always come naturally. But finding the right type of gathering that suits your strengths and interests will make networking much more successful — and enjoyable. Don’t force yourself to attend every event for the sake of “networking.” Make sure the environment works for you. If you don’t like crowded, noisy functions, steer clear of boozy harbor cruises and after-parties. If you can’t find a suitable event, create your own. Bring together different “interest groups” of colleagues that work in your field or that you meet at conferences. And make sure to commit when you’re at your best. If you’re not a morning person, don’t sign up for a 500-person networking breakfast. Subject every event to a cost-benefit analysis. Ask yourself who’s likely to attend, if they’re your target audience, and whether you’ll actually get to connect with them.

UK lord for using neutron bomb on Pak-Afghan Border.
LONDON: Britain’s House of Lords member Lord Gilbert on Friday stunned peers by suggesting that a neutron bomb could be used to create a “cordon sanitaire” in troubled border regions such as the one between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
It is very surprising, why this so called Lord didn’t suggest nuking Ireland, at the height of the IRA militancy, when even Birmingham was bombed by the terrorists?
Government of Pakistan, must declare the so called lord Gilbert of UK, as a Persona non grata, for his hate mongering and debar his entry forever, in Pakistan. As was done by the UK government, with our H’able minister Mr. Ghulam Ahmad Bilor.
My tweet message to the British PM.
@David_Cameron UK banned entry of Pak minister now we will c what action will be taken against Lord Gilbert for mother of all hate speeches?
