Dear Mr. President Barack Hussein Obama,

Greetings.

Media has reported on 24 January, 2016 a statement attributed to you, quoted as below:

Quote. “Pakistan can and must do more to dismantle terrorist networks” Unquote.

Sir, your priceless words of wisdom for your non-NATO ally, are very well appreciated and are on our head and eyes.

Hope, you will also appreciate that your non-NATO ally, which played it’s more than due part, in making your great country a sole super power, was ditched (after becoming the sole super power) by your country, to live and sort out with all those people or Hydras (Hydra story add a regeneration feature to the monster: for every head chopped off, the Hydra would regrow one or multiple heads), who were created, raised and armed by your country, (this fact is on record to have been openly admitted by Ms Hillary Clinton) to defeat the invading forces of the USSR in  Afghanistan.

Mr. President, you will also appreciate that in the 9/11 episode, no Pakistani was involved; and if your agencies had been vigilant enough in the first place, the twin towers and Pentagon, would never have been attacked.

Sir, you will also appreciate that your non-NATO ally, whole heartedly participated in your Afghanistan war, along with around 50 other countries.

However, it is a different story that Pakistan suffered more than 10 times more men and material losses (and still continues to suffer) than the combined losses of all the about 50 countries, which took part in your chosen Afghanistan war. And quite surprisingly, you still expect from us to do more.

On the the other side, no one from the West, even offered support to Pakistan, for righting-off of its foreign loans, or allowing without any preconditions, Pakistani products for sale, in their own markets.

Sir, during your Afghan war, you visited Afghanistan more than once.

However, you decided never to visit Pakistan, which was your so much staunch non-NATO ally that it didn’t even charge a single penny, from the USA, for use of Pakistani air space. Whereas, your country offered $20 billion to Turkey, for use of its airspace, during the Iraq war.

Sir, we the nation of Pakistan, are still fighting the full might of Hydra, which is not even sparing our school kids and young students, for being your non-NATO ally.

Although, most of the NATO countries have left Afghanistan yet, for Pakistan, the 15 years war against terror, is continuing unabatedly.

Sir, under the circumstances, how much prudent and appropriate it would have been for you, to repay the services of your most staunch friend (since, Korean war and CENTO/SEATO era), which was blown to smithereens, during your imposed Afghan war, by asking the Afghanistan’s government to DO MORE and to hand over to Pakistan, the terrorist master minds taking refuge in Afghanistan, where some US forces are still present.

Moreover, even more appropriate action from you, would have been to demand from India, to immediately stop acts of terrorism against your most friendly and ally country (whose soldier gave ultimate sacrifice to save the lives of American soldiers captured by the rebels in Somalian city of Mogadishu) through India’s old policy of sponsoring mercenaries to destabilise Pakistan; which doesn’t need any proof.

Because firstly, Indian PM Mr. Narendra Modi, himself, proudly admitted Indian role in the dismemberment of Pakistan; and secondly, its National Security Advisor Mr. Ajit Doval, openly confessed sponsoring TTP mercenaries in Pakistan, for defensive offensive operations.

Sir, just to refresh the memory, it is hoped that America will never forget the following acts of Pakistan, which no other country has done, as a friend of the United States:

• Allowed U-2 planes to use our airspace and airport for flights over the USSR.
• Allowed U-2 planes to use our airspace and airport in East Pakistan, for flights over China.
• Pakistani efforts in bringing your country closer to China.
• Pakistani security forces risked their lives to save the lives of Americans, in the burning US embassy in Islamabad.

Sir, we Pakistanis, who have put our survival and lives at stake, more than once, to honour the needs of friendship with your great country, are still looking forward, to warmly receive you and your family, as our most revered guests.

Best Regards,

Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad

Pakistan can and must do more to dismantle terrorist networks: Obama..http://tribune.com.pk/story/1033362/obama-urges-serious-action-against-extremists-in-pakistan/

Why we lost the 2nd T20 match vs the NZ team?

Just because the NZ team played smart cricket.

May be our team is better team than the New Zealand’s team.

Basically, we are not playing and not using our resources more intelligently.

We should select players on the basis of horses for courses.

Ahmad Shahzad, Sohaib Maqsood and Shoaib Malik are not the horses for the T20 course.

Moreover, according to a definition of a leader, he is supposed to ensure that the ladder is leaning at the correct place, for his team members to reach the targeted area.

If the ladder is wrongly placed, no matter how capable are your team members, they can never reach the right place, for achievement of your desired goal or task.

Here, as pointed out after the first match, we must correctly select our players, who are fit for T20 format and wisely plan our batting order, to give ample space to our explosive batsmen to tear apart the bowling of the opponent team, for a relatively longer period of time.

Cricket is like a chess game, where you use your moves more wisely and intelligently, than your opponent.

We are wrongly playing Ahmad Shahzad, Shoaib Malik and Sohaib Maqsood and not giving chance to the likes of Anwar Ali and Babar Azam etc.

Moreover, players like Umar Akmal and Sarfraz Ahmad must bat up in the order, to have a reasonable opportunity to perform, as per their huge potential.

Once Viv Richards said that cricket is played all in your head.

Let us hope our of tour management committee does not panic after the resounding defeat in the second T20 match, because panic is a sure recipe of defeat.

In order to win the last match of the series, our team management must consider all the suggestions submitted above and devise a plan to out smart the opponent team, by using shorter sides of the ground for hitting maximum number of boundaries in that particular area and must set a target of minimum 60 runs in first six overs of the power play.

Moreover, we should ensure playing minimum number of dot balls, particularly in the power play overs.

Our fast bowlers should be advised to must utilise one bouncer ball, which is allowed during an over and also bowl maximum possible yorkers, aiming the toe of the batsmen.

Dear Mr. Prime Minister,

AoA.

Sir,

Please accept heartiest congratulations on the success of today’s (Friday, 15 January, 2016) All Party’s Conference (APC) convened by you to resolve contentious issues on China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

This news is very satisfactory for the nation that our politicians and PMLN government’s team, under the guidance of its Prime Minister, is fully capable of resolving national issues, with mutual consultation and cooperation.

Today’s national leaders success is another step in strengthening peoples belief, in our democratic system, main credit for which goes to the PM and its dedicated team.

Best Regards,

Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad
Lahore.
PS. Please advise Mr. Ishaq Dar who is currently in China, to request the AIIB, to take-over/swap all our foreign debts, zero or on minimum rate of interest, to reduce our huge debt SERVICING burden.

What else is needed to prove that it was an Indian False Flag to defame Pakistan, when tons of tons arms and ammunition was used by the attackers inside Pathankot airbase without any hole in the wall or cut of any portion of barbed wire?

TIMES OF INDIA

Did Pathankot attackers get insider help to enter base, smuggle in huge arms and ammunition?

Link:- http://m.timesofindia.com/india/Did-Pathankot-attackers-get-insider-help-to-enter-base-smuggle-in-huge-arms-and-ammunition/articleshow/50524957.cms

NEW DELHI: Did a possible collusion with insiders facilitate the movement of Jaish terrorists and their large cache of ammunition into Pathankot airbase? TOI has learnt that this question may very much figure in the NIA investigations into the daring attack. “Everything will be probed,” a senior NIA officer said on Sunday but did not elaborate.
According to sources, some or all Jaish terrorists who attacked the Pathankot airbase may have accessed it several hours before the first shots were fired at 3.30 am on January 2. What is even more interesting is that as many as 45 explosions were reported even after the last of the terrorist had fallen. “This points to how heavily armed the terrorists were and the huge amount of explosives that were left at the encounter site even after their death,” a senior officer of the security establishment pointed out.

Normally, one would expect terrorists on a suicide mission to travel light, especially when they need to cross the international border without being detected, hijack vehicles to get close to the target and once there, jump over a ten-feet-high perimeter wall with an extra two-feet-high concertina wire. But that the encounter stretched over two days and even after the fierce gun-battle, 27 magazines and enough explosives were left to trigger 45 explosions, has led to questions on whether the 5-6 terrorists were capable of carting so much ammunition into the airbase in backpacks that were also stuffed with food packets and medicines.
This is an angle that the NIA may have to examine during the probe. Put simply, NIA will have to probe whether any “insider” from within the airbase colluded with the attackers not only to facilitate their entry but also in smuggling in the heavy arms and ammunition for the protracted encounter. “It is not only the drug- smuggling networks active on the Punjab border that are under the scanner for having facilitated the terrorists to infiltrate from Pakistan, but the scope of NIA probe may also extend to serving force personnel and others housed at the Pathankot airbase, who may have facilitated the terrorists to smuggle in heavy arms and ammunition,” said an officer.

Given that there are nearly 3,000 families living at the airbase, this may be quite a task. “Big money may have exchanged hands in case the terrorists’ entry or smuggling of arms and ammunition was facilitated. This may hold vital clues to any insider collusion,” said a source.

India to explain the reasons for removing base barriers and forceful closing of shops at 5PM (normal shops closing time in India is 8PM) on 1/1/16, as reported by the Indian TV.
It is so simple that had the barriers been not removed himself by the Indian authorities, (as openly reported by the Indian TV) how could the attackers have entered the air base?
Who can forget boat burning drama by the enacted by the Indians on 31/12/15?
Have a heart India, try some better tricks for the next false flag.

Dear Mr. Prime Minister,

Sir.

May Allah Bless you for the auspicious launching of the National Health Program, on the advent of the New Year 2016.

In fact, history will record this fact and posterity will stand as a witness that no ruler in this region, launched such a life touching and innovative welfare initiative, for the poorest of the poor.

In this regard, you, your team and your government deserve fullest Kudos and appreciation for the awesome gift on the eve of the New Year 2016, to the poor people of Pakistan, living below the poverty line.

Here, it will be very appropriate to remind that Islam considers all life forms as sacred. However, the sanctity of human life is accorded a special place. The first and the foremost basic right of a human being is the right to live.

I am more than sure that the NHP will save many lives of the poor sick Pakistanis, by way of affording them best possible treatment, available in the country.

Sir, it is also to be kept in consideration that not only diseases kill people, but poverty and unemployment is also a big killer and a cause, for the lawlessness and severe unrest in the country.

As such, your government should also consider launching of mega projects like Kalabagh dam, (only statesmen like you can take tough decisions like nuclear explosion and NAP’s strict implementation) huge water reservoirs and new water canals to channelise flood waters for productive agricultural usage.

Building of new most modern and absolutely world class sports cities, in Public Private Partnership mode, in each province, can also provide jobs, channelise the energies of youth and improve the level of sports in the country; and may be in the coming years, help in the holding of world sports championships and games, like commonwealth games etc.

Moreover, Pakistan also has one of the biggest tourism potential in the region. Acountry like Turkey (which is also facing terror problem) is earning almost $20 billion annually, only from tourism.

The beauty of our hilly areas is second to none in the world.

Similarly, beach facilities from Karachi to Gawadar, if developed on modern lines, can attract huge number of tourists from Russian States and other countries.

Pakistan should also harness the opportunities of medical tourists from abroad, specially in the field of comparatively very cheap dental treatment.

It is hoped that the day is not far away, when InshaAllah, Pakistan will turn into a land of peace and opportunities, for the entire region.

With best wishes and kind regards.

My Twitter message to the Indian PM.

@narendramodi Sir, your Birthday wish to PM Nawaz Sharif & stopover at Lahore is most auspiciously welcome.
However, it seems you only believe in Leader to Leader contacts & your decision of NOT allowing even cricket between the two nations so that People to People contact lays a solid foundation of genuine friendship between India and Pakistan.
Remember, Leader to Leader contacts are very short lived and without any strong bondings.
Statesmen like you must think about the future generations.

We hope your visit to Lahore will at least precede some very happy announcements, for the teeming millions of the region.

Ensure Corruption Doesn’t Pay..!

In Pakistan, every body knows that we are no less behind any nation in corruption.

The NAB chairman during last PPP government’s tenure of 2008-13, himself disclosed that the daily value of corruption in Pakistan, was a staggering amount of Rs.12 billion per day or Rs.4320 billion per year.

Now, this huge amount of corruption in Pakistan is more than the Rs.4.0 trillion budget of the country; and almost 17% of the country’s whole GDP of 250 billion USD.

A state bank report published today on 23 December, 2015 by the daily “Express Tribune” also sheds light on the very high level of “Informal Pakistani Economy” quoted as below.

Quote.

“Currency in circulation as a percentage of GDP is a measure that reflects the scale of the informal economy: a higher ratio means a larger informal economy and a heavier dominance of cash.

According to the SBP annual report, this ratio is 9.4% in Pakistan, which is the second highest after India (10.6%). It is 3.4% in Sri Lanka, 3.7% in Malaysia, 5.9% in Bangladesh and 7% in the Philippines.

Similarly, the ratio of broad money (M2) as a percentage of GDP is another proxy that helps determine the size of the undocumented economy. A lower ratio of M2-to-GDP reflects a larger informal economy. This ratio is 41.2% in Pakistan as opposed to 62.7% in Bangladesh and 76.7% in India.” Unquote.

Moreover, we are also no less behind in raising hue and cry against corruption.

But, the problem is that corruption can neither be curbed with hollow slogans nor by declaration of assets by the politicians and government employees.

Times of India reported on 19 November, 2011(Link:-http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Black-money-India-to-sign-agreements-with-42-more-nations/articleshow/10793795.cms) that After signing agreements with 48 countries, India will shortly ink pacts with 42 more nations to bring backblack money stashed abroad, Union minister of state for parliamentary affairs Harish Rawat said. Once these agreements are signed, India will be in a position to bring back black money stashed in different banks abroad, he told reporters here.

Corruption can only be minimised by deterrent legislation; which ensures that crime of corruption will not pay, neither in the short, nor in the long term.

And effective judicial verdicts, like the one announced today by the Delhi court in which former Indian 86 years old telecom minister Sukhram, has been sentenced for five years jail, for taking Rs 3 lakhs as bribe to give a lucrative contract to a private firm in 1996. He pleaded for leniency in court on grounds of his old age while the CBI called him a “habitual offender” and sought maximum punishment for him.The 86-year-old former minister was held guilty for misusing his official position during his tenure as telecom minister in P V Narasimha Rao’s cabinet in giving a contract worth Rs 30 crore to a private company, Haryana Telecom Limited (HTL), to supply 3.5 Lakh Conductor Kilometers (LCKM) ofPolythene Insulated Jelly Filled (PIJF) cables to the telecom department.

We in Pakistan, must realise that our main problem is not the existence of corruption. Rather, the fertile culture which help breeds corruption pay, as the most lucrative and profitable activity in Pakistan.

Till such time, we attack the very roots of this cancerous culture of corruption in Pakistan, no positive improvement should be expected in any sphere of life.
And we must be aware of the fact that, corruption is a bigger menace than terrorism.

Since, we have all the required institutions and no dearth of honest and honourable people, what is required is developing a system to post these DYNAMITE people to be head of NAB, FIA and Anti-Corruption departments of provincial governments.

Towards the achievement of this goal, a committee is proposed to be constituted, consisting of Chief Justice of Supreme Court, all Chief Justices of High Courts and leader of the opposition of National and all provincial assemblies, for appointing on a tenure post, all heads and key personnel of NAB, FIA and Provincial anti-Corruption departments.

Moreover, NO person in the country from civil, military, judiciary and any other department should have the immunity from interrogation, on corruption matters, before; these departments.

It is earnestly hoped that the above said mechanism if, put in place, will strike such a fear in the hearts of all and sundry, that no one will dare even think, of doing corruption in Pakistan.

 

Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif,

AoA.

Sir,

Please note that it is the prime duty of the PM Pakistan to use all his abilities and resources at his disposal, to free Pakistan from the foreign debt, rather than allowing taking of more burden of loans, to pay off the old loans.

Already, the debt repayment situation has reached an extremely alarming level to the extent that almost more than 40% of the tax revenue goes into the debt repayment. And in the coming years, the current high interest rate loans repayments may eat up almost the entire tax revenues.

This grave situation may not only create unprecedented economic hardships; but can badly erode the military capabilities as well; resulting in virtual collapse of the economic and geographical sovereignty of Pakistan.

Under the circumstances, no one else in the country but you Mr. Prime Minister, may take this challenge to utilise all your abilities and resources, to arrange a 100% foreign debt write-off for Pakistan.

In this regard, as a first step, since you are visiting Germany from Monday, this issue may please be taken up with the German leadership, for garnering support for the write-off of the entire Pakistani foreign debt, in consideration for its services, in the War on Terror (WOT) plus the permission granted for the FREE use of Pakistan’s air space, to all the 49 nation coalition of NATO forces: which if had been charged during the last 15 years of WOT, would have amounted to earnings to Pakistan of about a trillion US dollars (1000 billion USD). Against which amount our entire foreign debt is much less than $100 billion.

Mr. Prime Minister, besides the German leadership, you should also take up this case individually, with all the 49 countries of the NATO’s alliance on WOT in Afghanistan.

Last but not the least, most of the financial experts will advise you that this is a pipe dream and well neigh impossible. Sir, simply tell such advisors that in order to achieve the impossible, it is precisely the unthinkable which must be thought. Moreover, in the past as well, most of the people discouraged the Quaid-e-Azam, by saying that carving an area for the creation of Pakistan from India, was impossible. However, his sheer determination, unflinching conviction for his just cause and focus on solution instead of the problems, enabled him to achieve the once impossible looking task.

With best wishes and kind regards.

Respected Mr. Ishaq Dar,

AoA.

Sir,

On behalf of the Pakistani nation (whose 60% population lives below the poverty line and just 3% elite are ruling the roost), I would like to congratulate you for fulfilling your two below mentioned promises [made on the floor of the house],

– You will obtain IMF loan on our own terms.

– NO mini budget will burden the people.

by today approving via ECC, imposition of further Rs.40 billion worth of burden on the countrymen, when according to media reports, your government will be having a savings on oil imports bill of Rs.750 billion or $7.5 billion during FY 2015-16 compared with FY 2014-15.

Best Regards,

Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad
