SOS Appeal to the Prime Minister of Pakistan

Sir,

In view of very serious medical emergency of swine flu epidemic in India, where 216 people have died just in the current month of February and 407 deaths have occurred since January 2015, you are requested for taking emergency measures for the protection of Pakistani population, from the spread of rampant Swine Flu in India.

Sir, in this regard, kindly impose an immediate ban of any direct and indirect import of chicken feed and all such types of items from India, which may affect the population in Pakistan, with this dreaded disease. Also please make strict arrangements for medical check up of all persons arriving from India in Pakistan.

Sir, in this connection, your kind attention is also invited towards an unconfirmed news item published earlier that even members of your delegation were not allowed to enter the USA, without the confirmation of the Polio vaccination. This shows the level to which extent the government’s can go, to protect their citizens from contagious diseases.

NEW DELHI: As many as 216 people have lost their lives to swine flu across the country in the first ten days of February as the death toll due to the contagious disease mounted to 407 this year, mostly in states like Gujarat and Rajasthan.

The latest government data said that 5,157 cases of the disease has been reported since January 1 this year till February 10 and the health ministry is drafting guidelines for vaccination of health workers who are in contact with H1N1 patients.

The health ministry had earlier said that swine flu has claimed 191 lives in the country against the total number of 2,038 cases reported in January this year.

“It was noted that during January 1 to February 10 the total number of H1N1 cases is 5,157 and number of deaths are 407.

“Largely, the cases are from Delhi, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Telangana while the deaths largely are in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Telangana,” the health ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.

The statement came today after health secretary B P Sharma chaired a high-level meeting to review the status of H1N1 influenza being reported from different states.

The ministry said that after getting expert advise, it was decided that various health institutions treating swine flu cases be “advised” to get the health workers, who are in contact with such patients, vaccinated.

“This will be in addition to the proper personal protective measures being followed at the hospitals. Guidelines are being drafted for vaccination of healthcare workers and these will be shared with the states for dissemination to all health institutions,” the statement said.

The Health Ministry has already placed an order for enhancing stock of diagnostic kits to be supplied to the lab network under Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme (IDSP) being used for testing H1N1 influenza.

“To enhance the level of preparedness, additional 60,000 Oseltamivir medicines and 10,000 N-95 masks are being procured. In addition, NCDC has floated a tender for additional 10,000 diagnostic kits,” the statement said.

My retort to Mr.Hamid Mir still remains un-replied.

A Reply to Hamid Mir’s Article Titled “BB We Are Ashamed” Published Today, in the Daily “Jang” Link:- http://jang.com.pk/jang/dec2012-daily/27-12-2012/col2.htm

________________________________________________

Hamid Mir Sahab, what you have written is an oft repeated fact, which looks more like a rhetoric, now.

Another side of this murder case, on which I have written many times, but you never included that part, neither in your TV programs, nor in your writings. And that part, pertains to the fact that in February 2012, this PPP government approached the Interpol, for arresting Pervaiz Musharraf, in the murder case of Benazir Bhutto. So far so good. However, in April 2012, when Pervaiz Musharraf visited China, our ambassador Mr. Masood Khan, accorded him official welcome and also gave an official dinner in his honour at the Embassy (all this at the expense of the Pakistani tax payer’s money). The question is, that if the ambassador accorded Pervaiz Musharraf all the protocol in China, without the permission of the PPP government, why he was not dismissed? And, why later on the same ambassador was bestowed with a national award and given the prime posting at the UNO, New York?

And, if all this protocol was awarded to Pervaiz Musharraf with the permission of the government of PPP in Pakistan, then why to ask the Interpol to arrest him on the charges of Benazir’s murder? PPP government it looks, is trying to use or misuse the name of Interpol, just to befool its people?

Hamid Mir Sahab, what is all this. The government of PPP can befool the PPP Jiyalas and the general public of Pakistan, but they can’t deceive the Interpol. As they say, you can fool some of the people for all the time, you can fool all the people for some of the time, but you can’t fool all the people, all the time.

However, Hamid Mir Sahab, the biggest disappointment in this case is your silence, on this particular issue.

It looks that everybody who has betrayed with the blood of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto, is now doing a lip service, you included.

An open letter to the Indian PM

Dear Mr. Narendra Modi Sahab,

Greetings.

We in Pakistan, really appreciated the desire to visit Pakistan, expressed by the former Prime Minister of India, Mr. Manmohan Singh, in his press conference on 3 January, 2014.

In this regard, I would like to suggest to the current leadership of both the countries, to take advantage of the conducive atmosphere prevailing in the region; and let India and Pakistan try a NEW APPROACH towards the peace: by first deciding upon a list of such core thorny issues, which are complicated and can only be resolved after full confidence, between the two nations is restored; and freeze all such issues or problems, for a short period of just one decade.

In the meantime, India and Pakistan should restore full friendly relations, by genuinely restoring confidence, by further pulling back troops from the LOC and start immediate cooperation in all the fields of economic activities, visa free to and fro, travel (for all the cities) of citizens of both the countries, special facilities for the businessmen of the two nations for opening of trade offices, banks, business shops and show rooms, in each others country, removal of all restrictions on cultural and sports teams visits and full permission of the TV channels, to be viewed in each other’s country.

It will be just of a sort of a no war pact (which should also include 90% withdrawal of troops from the entire valley of Jammu and Kashmir and 100% withdrawal of troops from the Siachin area, for a limited period of ten years).

Moreover, it should also be decided that in order to avoid any misunderstandings, on account of any illegal crossings from the LOC, joint LOC patrolling of Indo-Pak troops along with the UN observers, should also be considered as a part of the overall peace agreement, which is surely expected to work wonders, like a magic, in the economic emancipation of the teeming millions of both the countries.

Sir, hope you know very well that ordinary people of both the countries are fed up with the acrimony between the two closest neighbours; and earnestly desire hundreds of years of peace, for which the only impediment, is the lack of statesmen and visionary people in the policy making arena of both the countries.

Now, your and our leadership has got a golden chance of a life time, to jointly work for the peace of about 1.5 billion humanity.

Please extend your hands to meet the gestures of genuine peace, already offered at EVERY occasion, by the Pakistani PM Mr. Nawaz Sharif, to make the peace aspirations of the hundreds of millions of residents of the sub continent, come true.

Remember, may be this golden chance for the peace between the two nations, if missed now, may not come again in decades.

Also please inform all those military and political planners in your country, not in favour of genuine peace with Pakistan that low intensity war named as offensive defensive operations, or other covert hostile methods, are no more a long or short term options for, as well as, against; a nuclear power, which possesses more military nuclear arsenal (as reported today by Times of India) than India.

All such paradigms are out dated being a ZERO sum game, in the ultimate nuclear scenario. Such policy planners have no business to stay in the past non-nuclear status frame of mind; and they must develop a NEW and FRESH vision, to guide a major nuclear nation, like India.

Policy makers of nuclear powers must not have a mindset of a non nuclear state. And the foremost responsibility of these policy makers must be to ensure, at all costs, that under ALL circumstances, nuclear flare up or provocations under offensive defensive doctrine, MUST be ruled out: irrespective of the defined policy of no first use of nuclear weapons or retaliatory use of WMD’s.

Sir, if Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi can be awarded Nobel Peace Prize for their noble campaign for peace through education and child rights, just imagine how kindly the world will remember the immortal bold acts of Mr. Narendra Modi and Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, in ameliorating the hardships due to hunger, disease and illiteracy of more than 1.5 billion humanity of the entire region.

Please remember that war results only in devastation, deaths and destruction, whereas, dividends of peace are construction, prosperity and happiness.

Last but not the least, it must be a very clear objective of the leadership of both the countries, to ensure that India and Pakistan must not live like divided Korea, rather, we should live, like the united Europe.

Seasons Greetings and Best Wishes for a very Happy New Year 2015.

Last but not the least would you like to clean anyone’s garbage? If the answer is no, then why expect from us?

Anyway, we knew from the day one that this $7.5 billion KLB bonus for democracy was a lolly pop to Pakistan for getting its cooperation for WOT and US withdrawal plans from Afghanistan.

Let us also dwell briefly on the Afghan, Indian and US interests, one by one as below:

Afghanistan : Durand line is not the border between the two countries.

India: The existence of a strong and stable State of Pakistan is not in the national interest of India.

America: A nuclear Pakistan (more so a Muslim country) is not acceptable.

My Twitter message to the Indian PM Mr. Narendra Modi…

@nayyarahmad:
@PMOIndia @narendramodi
Till such time there are chances of a Indo-Pak (nuclear) conflict, economic take-off of India & the region is not possible.

This is a matter of vision and ability to gaze into the future, which only a statesmen can visualise, about the dividends of PEACE and the damages of war, or even fear of a war.

My Twitter message to the US President Mr.Barack Obama:

@BarackObama Sir, media reports about your expected visit to Pakistan are really assuring and the entire nation is ready to very warmly welcome you, with open arms.
Perhaps, you will only realise after the visit to Pakistan that how big and monumental service you did to the cause of world peace, in helping Pakistan’s resolve, to resolutely fight the menace and scourge of terrorism.

Dear Ms Hillary Clinton,

Assalam-O-Alikum.

Perhaps, it may be a surprise to you, but the fact is that you are the most popular American dignitary in Pakistan. And, in any vote count, you can easily win an election in Pakistan. We still fondly remember your visit to a village named BURKI, near Lahore, during your last trip to the country.

We in Pakistan were quite worried to hear about your recent injury & hope that by the grace of GOD AL-MIGHTY, you must have fully recovered by now.

Your recent statement about the West’s leaving Pakistan alone after the Afghan war, was very well taken by most of our country men. In fact, this statement truly reflected the CHANGE, President Barak Obama promised in his presidential speech. I personally feel that American people & government still don’t have the idea how much, we Muslims particularly, and the down trodden population of the world generally, expect from & trust, Barak Obama to deliver on his promises. Virtually, Barak Obama is seen as President of the Globe.

Hence, America must not miss this opportunity, because although, you cannot conquer the world yet, you have already won the hearts of the dwellers of this world.

In this regard, no one else knows more than you, the importance of Pakistan in defeating the menace of terrorism & building a peaceful world. It is Pakistan where this world has to win the war for peace. Let there be no mistake, that it is a war against terror for Pakistan & within Pakistan. Never-the-less, we also assure you that we can crush this menace with our own muscles. The only thing we need is, the commitment of the free world, not to let Pakistan down (again) this time, for which America will have to take a lead.

Now, in order to see what role the free world must play, I have already written in detail to Mr. David Axelrod, Senior Advisor to the President of USA & Mr. Richard Douglas, Ex. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for counter Narcotics.(Copies also mailed at info@messages.whitehouse.gov & webmasterisb@state.gov)

The said communications may be perused below, for your favour of consideration.

Thanking & wishing you all the success in your quest for true world peace.

Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad.
Lahore – Pakistan

Richard J Douglas,
Ex. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Counter Narcotics,
U.S.A.

ASSALAM-O-ALIKUM.

I am immensely touched by your article titled ‘ The Pakistani Soldier ‘ published in the daily ” THE NEWS ” dated June 20, 2009. The reason being that, it is a genuine tribute to the many hundreds of thousands of Pakistani armed forces personnel, who are sacrificing their today for a better tomorrow, not only of Pakistan, but of the entire peace loving humanity of the world.

In fact, right from day one of the inception of Pakistan, its soldiers have relentlessly served the cause of peace in & outside Pakistan. One example must be still fresh in the minds of the freedom loving Americans. I am referring to the daring act of rescue of US soldiers in Somalia, by the brave Pakistani troops, who defied dangers to their own lives, to serve the cause of the humanity.

Now, what about the beautiful & capable Pakistan, of THE PAKISTANI SOLDIER. If you really want to serve the cause of peace & make this world a tranquil place, don’t treat Pakistani people as pariah of this world. If you have any doubts just go to the US airports and see how (legal Pakistani entrants ) are treated at your entry points ( my email, attached below, addressed to David Axelrod, Senior Advisor to the President of the USA, on the subject remains non replied till date). If no other nation of the free world, at least America owes we Pakistani people, a debt it can never repay (which I need not mention here, because we didn’t take on the USSR as a favour to USA. We stood for the cause of liberty & freedom only).

Today, Pakistan is paying a very heavy price for taking on the cause of liberty & freedom. In fact, the country is profusely bleeding from its wounds of terrorism.

As many Americans admit the mistake of leaving Pakistan in the lurch, after the Afghanistan war. Now it is high time to rebuild Pakistan. The world must come forward to make another Japan of Pakistan. And this objective can’t be achieved through loans & aid. No nation can be build with loans & aid. Rebuilding of Pakistan needs a 10 year Marshall plan (it may not cost more than one or two years defense expenditure of war in Afghanistan), which must broadly include the following strategy.

Ø Writing off the entire Debt of country.
Ø Allowing 100% duty free imports of Pakistani goods in all the countries.
Ø Revamping of entire Pakistani educational system on modern lines.
Ø Providing of world class health care system.
Ø Development of world class transportation infrastructure.
Ø Focus for development on small & medium size industry.
Ø Development of agriculture, livestock & dairy sectors on world standards.
Ø Settlement of Kashmir, water, Siachin & all other issues between Pakistan & India.
Ø Building of Maximum possible dams on the river system.
Ø Development & exploration (as per world standards) of natural resources.
Ø Development of wind energy to the maximum potential of the country.

I am very optimistic that under the visionary leadership of Mr. Obama & his dynamic team, the above proposals for helping Pakistani nation to stand on its feet, for the larger cause of the peace & freedom of this world, may not be a farfetched idea.

With best wishes & kind regards,

Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad.

Dear Mr. David Axelrod.
Senior Advisor to the President of USA.
ASSALAM-O-ALIKUM.

Please convey our full appreciation to President Barak Husain Obama not only for his
wonderful speech but for the genuine efforts he & his administration is making in bridging the gap between the Muslims & the west.

David, without going into the details of who is actually responsible for the turmoil created by the current wave of terrorism in the world, I would like to assure you that no religion is more peaceful than Islam. GOD says in the Quran that saving one life is equal to the saving of the life’s of the entire Humanity. And killing one innocent person is as bad as killing the entire Humanity. But then we Muslims are also not taught to offer the other Cheek, if slapped on one cheek.

I am also convinced that in order to achieve the desired results, good intentions reflected in speeches, must follow with actions. And as a first step & in order to win the heart & minds of the Proud Pakistani Nation, the President of the USA must order that humiliation of all legal Pakistani entrants at American airports should stop immediately. Pakistani visitors should not be discriminated at the airports. This is one step, will not cost a Dollar. But shall generate tremendous goodwill in our hearts, for the great people of the USA, right at your entry points.

With best wishes & kind regards,

Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad

Before selecting Pakistani players for the ODI World Cup 2015, we must refresh the results of the ODI matches played since the last Asia Cup, held about a year ago in Bangladesh, during February – March 2014.

– Pakistani team lost the final match of the Asia Cup Vs Sri Lanka in a most pathetic manner.
For details please read “How the Asia Cup was lost?” Link:- https://www.snayyar.com/loud-thinking-april-22-2014-at-0851pm.html#sthash.XI0iLFh6.dpbs

– In August 2014, Pakistan again lost 2-1 ODI series played in SriLanka.

– Pakistan also lost two ODI series against both Australia (3-0) and NewZealand (3-2) played during October – December 2014, at the UAE.
For the detailed analysis of these performances please read:

1. How to win the ODI World Cup-2015? Proposals sent to the PCB in Sept.14 confined to the dust bin..!http://t.co/tfZeNe6lOq

2.Pakistani cricket in the abyss..Patron in Chief of the PCB must act now..! – See more at: https://www.snayyar.com/loud-thinking-october-12-2014-at-0710pm.html#sthash.A30YoIqP.dpbs

3. A clarion call to the Prime Minister and Patron in Chief of the PCB..http://t.co/L6gUnZ9Prg

4. Why the chief selector is larger than life for the PCB..? Honourable Prime Minister and the Patron.. http://t.co/i9B8goXuQt”

The conclusion drawn from the above analysis, is summarised as below:

1. The proof of pudding lies in its eating. Since, the take over of the PCB affairs by Mr. Najam Sethi, our team’s ODI performances reached historical low levels; by losing the Champions trophy in a manner that our team earned 8th position, amongst the 8 participating teams; and then even lost an ODI match Vs Zimbabwe, as well. And after all that down slides, leaving aside the Proteas, each and every ODI tournament/series was lost in such a pathetic manner that with World Cup almost at hand, we created a sort of a world record, in last ODI series vs Sri Lanka, by scoring only 19 runs in the first 10 overs of an ODI, when only 2 repeat 2 fielders, are stationed outside the 30 yards circle.

2. With such an ignominious recent past record, the entire PCB never ever thought to get rid of Misbah ul Haq and his coterie of few other bunch of oldies, who seems to have burnt their entire fuel, for the ODI version of the game.

3. What is now needed is to re-build a Pakistani team, with an eye on the future, by inducting promising and talented young players, which should also be led by a young dare devil and fearless youngster, as a captain.We need a captain, with a heart of a lion and agility of a tiger…جوانوں کو پیروں کا استاد کر

4. Since, Pakistan’s national team is no body’s personal team, PCB should not hesitate to say good bye to the oldies, who have given their contribution since long and are a sheer liability, for any future ODI games, particularly on the wickets and conditions of the down under. Even if these highly respected oldies are physically fit, the problem lies with their defensive and negative mental approach. Yes these seniors can still stand in the field but they are unable to gather the team to put up a fight. Actually, putting up a fight does not mean hitting sixes. In cricket, it means giving the opposition a run for their money and snatching victories from the jaws of defeat.

5. Even if our team of the youngsters is not able to give any worthwhile performance during the World Cup, they will gain a lot of experience for the future. Moreover, no heavens fell, when all the stars studded seniors team lost miserably in the Champions trophy matches, where our team got the last position. So, why to shy away in banking over the youth and giving these raw players a feel of the World Cup atmosphere. In a national team, there is no place for joy riders. The fact is that these senior players also know that their steam is totally consumed. Otherwise, why they are ready to quit after the World Cup? Any player who can not deliver beyond the World Cup, how can we take a chance with him to perform at the fag end of his career? As such, we must bet on the performances of the rising stars. As far as the element of the experience is concerned, this aspect should be the specific responsibility of the coaching staff.

6. One very important matter which must be considered for NOT selecting the oldies, is the VERY HIGH chances of physical breakdown of the senior and old players, during the World Cup.

In view of the foregoing, it is suggested that the following players should be selected for the Pakistani team for the ODI World Cup 2015.

1. Ahmad Shahzad
2. Awais Zia (with license to play very positively/aggressively)
3. Umer Akmal
4. Sami Aslam (Captain material).
5. Imam ul Haq
6. Sarfraz Ahmad (captain material).
7. Adnan Akmal (regular wicket keeper is a must and he is also better than Sarfraz Ahmad).
8. Anwer Ali
9. Bilawal Bhatti
10. Imran Khan
11. Muhammad Irfan
12. Yaser Shah
13. Raza Hassan
14. Azhar Ali
15. Fawad Alam (captain material).

Batsmen. 8
Spinners. 2
Pacers.     4
Wicket keeper       1+1 (Adnan as regular and Sarfraz as contingency)

Total.     15

Reserves:

1. Wahab Riaz
2. Sohail Tanvir
3. Muhammad Hafeez
4. Harris Sohail
5. Asad Shafique

Junaid Khan and Sohaib Maqsood not considered on the reports that they are not 100% medically fit. However, if they are fit, then Bilawal Bhatti and Azhar Ali can be dropped in lieu of the above named two players.

Why the chief selector is larger than life for the PCB..?

Honourable Prime Minister and the Patron in Chief PCB,

Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif Sahab,

AoA.

Dear Sir,

At the outset, I must say that you deserve full Kudos, for deciding to take the direct command of the daunting challenge of the elimination of the menace of terrorism from Pakistan. You also deserve felicitations that you have successfully rallied all the segments of the society behind you; and the entire nation is totally united and standing behind the government, for this noble cause.

Sir, Now, coming to the subject matter, I take this opportunity to appreciate the decision of Mr. Shahryar Khan, Chairman PCB, in removing the most controversial person namely, Mr. Moin Khan, from the post of the team manager and appointing a very professional, competent, direct, efficient and quite tough person, Mr. Naveed Akram Cheema, as manager for the Pakistani cricket team, for its tour to Australia and NewZealand, to play the ODI World Cup matches.

However, the media reports of today, detailed as below, have provided some very astonishing information about the strange decision of the PCB, to still allow unnecessarily, Mr. Moin Khan (considered as an apple of the eye of the former chairman PCB, who himself told in one of his TV programs that the Prime Minister, Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, in a meeting, hand picked him for the post of chairman PCB, by holding his hand in his hand and pleaded to him to accept this position of chairman PCB) to have a joy ride with the team, for its ODI World Cup 2015 journey, to Australia and NewZealand.

– The cost of the visit of the chief selector PCB Mr. Moin Khan, will be around Rs.40 lacs wherein, he will travel full length of the tour in business class and get $700 per day for hotel and other expenses (as reported by the media).

– Neither, there is a past tradition during ANY previous ODI World Cup nor, any requirement of the chief selector, to accompany the team.
Actually, the job of the selectors finishes when they select 15 players for any foreign tour. And, during the currency of the tour the playing eleven is selected by a committee, which is headed by the manager and generally consists of the head coach and the captain.

Moreover, you being a cricketer your self, also know the fact that unnecessary personnel traveling with the team and their presence in the dressing rooms neither, helps building of congenial atmosphere in the dressing room nor, is good for the performance of the team.
Sir, it has been surprisingly reported that during the last tour of Sri Lanka (where we lost Test series 2-0 and ODI series 2-1) a 12 members PCB management and coaching staff toured, with ONLY 15 Pakistani cricketers.

Even Mr. Ishaq Dar Sahab has been reported by the media today, to have stated that now Pakistan needs to change VIP culture and curb prodigal (spending money or using resources freely and recklessly; wastefully extravagant) expenditures.

In view of the foregoing, you are requested to issue necessary orders to the PCB, to strictly curtail any wasteful expenditures that too, in valuable foreign exchange, by NOT allowing joy rides of absolutely unnecessary personnel, on foreign tours.

With best wishes and kind regards,

Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif,

Honourable Prime Minister of Pakistan,

Dear Sir,

Please remember that MAN IS MORTAL HIS GOOD DEEDS ARE IMMORTAL.

Kindly peruse below a news item published on 16 November, 2014 by the Times of India, which reflects that the Indian PM is talking nothing at the G20 summit in Australia, except about the BLACK MONEY repatriation to India.

Mr. Prime Minister, we are very surprised that although, bringing back the BLACK and STOLEN money of Pakistan stashed in the foreign countries, was the main agenda of the PMLN’s Elections 2013 campaign with the famous election slogan:

اےطائر لا ھوتی اس رذق سے موت اچھی. جس رذق سے آتی ہو پرواز میں کوتاہی

yet, you have personally never ever talked on this issue, since you became the PM in June 2013.

Your Excellency, the nation demands that your government must seriously fulfil its promises on bringing back nations looted money from abroad; and also fulfil another extremely important promise of breaking the bowl of foreign loans.

Moreover, please also ask your finance minister that he should remember that he was the minister of the Pakistani government and not appointed by either the IMF or the Swiss government. He should not callously tell the nation that looted money repatriation from abroad was well neigh impossible; and at the same time our government officials are continuing excursion trips of Switzerland, as if they were employed by the nation to have joy rides.

Everyone going abroad on state expenses, must inform on return to the nation that what tangible benefits materialised for Pakistan, due to his foreign trip.

Mr. Prime Minister, please also stop your ministers and officials from taking the nation on a ride.

Mian Sahab, the nation wants results on your promises of bringing back the black money from abroad and breaking the bowl of the curse of the foreign loans. We Pakistanis do not want to be burdened with useless statements and more and more IMF and world bank loans, repayment of which is now eating up a very major and alarmingly high chunk of the nation’s revenues.

Kindly give the following ONLY Two tasks to Mr. Ishaq Dar for completion, during your current tenure:

– To get rid of Pakistan from the entire foreign debt, either by getting it written off or by any other way.

– Bring back the ENTIRE looted money of Pakistan of ANYONE and EVERYONE, parked anywhere in the world.

And, if the finance minister says that he can not accomplish these two assignments or to him these two tasks looks impossible … then please appointment someone else, as the finance minister, with these monumental assignments, which if achieved, will make the tenure of your current rule not only MONUMENTAL but IMMORTAL as well.

Mian Sahab, history will NOT judge you for how many times you became the PM, but it will remember you for your services to the nation, as is the example of the famous ruler of India, namely Sher Shah Soori. No one knows for how much time he ruled, but he is remembered for his monumental achievement of building the Grand Trunk Road.

MAN IS MORTAL HIS GOOD DEEDS ARE IMMORTAL.

Times of India news report published on 16 November, 2014, is as below:

“G20 summit: Narendra Modi calls for ‘close coordination’ on black money
BRISBANE: As India makes attempts to recover black money from abroad, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday asked every country, especially tax havens, to provide information for tax purposes in accordance with treaty obligations.
Raising the pitch on the black money issue, Modi in his intervention at the summit of the Group of 20 industrialized and major emerging economies called for close global coordination to address the challenge posed by it.
Modi voiced India’s support for a new global standard on automatic exchange of tax information, saying it would be instrumental in getting information relating to unaccounted money hoarded abroad and enable its eventual repatriation. He also extended India’s backing for all initiatives to facilitate exchange of information and mutual assistance in tax policy and administration.
The prime minister made the remarks at the plenary session on the subject of “Delivering Global Economic resilience” on the second and final day of the summit held at the Brisbane Exhibition and Convention centre.
He also expressed the hope that Base Erosion and Profit Sharing (BEPS) system would fully address concerns of developing and developed economies.
BEPS is a technical term referring to the effect of tax avoidance strategies used by multinational companies on countries’ tax basis. BEPS is known more commonly as “Transfer pricing”
This term is used in a project headed by the OECD that is said to be an attempt by the world’s major economies to try to rewrite the rules on corporate taxation to address the widespread perception that the corporations don’t pay their fair share of taxes.
The prime minister also said that increased mobility of capital and technology have created new opportunities for avoiding tax and profit shifting.
Modi underpinned the need for the world community to take coordinated decisions although each country has its domestic priority.
“Need for policy coordination among major economies remains strong,” he said.
“Close coordination is important not just for addressing the challenge of black money but also security issues like terrorism, drug trafficking and arms smuggling,” he said.
Touching upon the resilience of the financial system in the world, Modi said it will also depend on cyber security.”
