Dear Mr. Imran Khan Sahab

AoA.

Sir,

We take this opportunity to wish you all the success in your forthcoming visit to China.

In this regard, it is suggested that in order to bring Chinese investments in agricultural sector in Pakistan, your government may decide to immediately form a subsidiary company under Zarai Taraqiati Bank of Pakistan, with main task of funding, assisting and collaborating Research and Training with Agricultural Universities and Agricultural Research Institutes of Pakistan, to take Pakistan from primitive agricultural practices to the modern agricultural levels, for bringing a revolution in the country; which according to Mr. Asif Sharif [ I call him Pakistani Steve Jobs & a priceless genius of Pakistan] who is a world renowned, highly experienced & qualified Pakistani expert in modern agricultural practices, has the authentic potential to generate (within 2-3 years) an exportable agricultural produce surplus of over $20 billions. Few examples of which (according to Mr. Asif Sharif) are given as below.

~ We can produce sugarcane free of cost by multi cropping. Wheat covers the entire cost and sugarcane is totally free.

~ Production cost of wheat is Rs.950/40 kg, adding overheads, it costs Rs.1700. International price is less than Rs.800. Only in Sindh, we have 1.7 million tons wheat piled up since many years, rotting outside. On top of that it doesn’t meet international quality standards.
We can produce certified quality wheat at less than Rs. 100/40 Kg., instead of Rs.1700/40 Kg.

~ Over 70% water savings even on rice crop. Traditionally 5,000 to 7,000 litres of water (huge usage of already scarce water) is used to produce 1 kg repeat 1 Kg of rice.

In my humble opinion, Mr. Asif Sharif may also be included in your team of experts or appointed CEO (as he possesses vast corporate experience of multinational companies with travel experience of around 100 countries) of the proposed subsidiary of the ZTBL, which also has the potential to generate about 5 million jobs in the above referred agricultural revolution.

Mr. Asif Sharif and Dr. Ikram ul Haq, who is a world renowned Pakistani expert in Taxation and Law having tangible/solid contacts in Chinese Party circles as well, and can lure their businessmen for investment in agricultural sector in Pakistan, may also be included in your official entourage for visit to China.

Mr. Prime Minster we have at least seven other options to avoid IMF loan..!

“ae tair-e-lahoti us rizq se mout achi – jis rizq se aati ho parwaz me kotahi”

Dear Mr. Imran Khan Sahab,

AoA.

Sir,

Tonight almost entire TV news channels of Pakistan were constantly playing your different speeches of few months back, wherein, you can be heard giving rock solid commitment to the nation that you will never go begging to the IMF for loans; and that a leader never lies with his public; obviously for the reasons which must have been in your knowledge about the research which concluded that suicide rates increased in the country’s which got loans from the World Bank and the IMF. In my opinion this phenomenon may have been occurring due to the reasons of higher unemployments created by the induced privatisations sans availability of any social support net work, increase in prices of items of daily use due to the devaluation of the currency and depression created because of the increase in utility rates and discontinuation of subsides, which are the fundamental demands of the loan giving agencies, to the already economically devastated and bankrupt countries.

Sir, if I were the PM and my economic managers would have suggested for resorting to IMF for a loan with strings of privatisations, massive devaluation of the currency, as happened with Pakistan on Tuesday 9 October 2018, when suddenly in the morning parity of PKR with USD took a dip to 137 from 125 (which according to one of your own speeches further burdened Pakistan with about $10 billion for just seeking a loan of $6-8 billion), increase in utility rates and removal of subsidies etc., I would have immediately replaced my entire team with such economic professionals, who could empathise with the pains and miseries of the teeming millions and had abilities to find alternative ways to meet the financial requirements of the country, which in my views are many, as explained below:

1 (a). Pakistan was economically devastated in fighting the American/NATO imposed War on Terror (as a front line State) suffering over $ one trillion losses in the shape of losses of human lives, financial and opportunity costs and damages to its goodwill and infrastructure; one example of which is that during this period Bangladesh moved ahead in education, family planning (1% population growth) and exports (45 billion USD/ year) which consisted mainly of textiles, by getting competitive edge over our textile industry, with zero percent tax for BD produced textile items (in developed countries) like towels and bedsheets etc., while Pakistani textiles were charged 20% tax, resultantly our products became uncompetitive and exports reduced from 25 billion USD to 20 billion USD per year.

1(b). In view of the foregoing, rather than going for borrowing from IMF we should seek (with diplomatic help as well) a moratorium on repayment of loans for five years and side by side implement the following scheme, to build up our foreign exchange reserves, so that economic crisis could be overcome with some out of box thinking to tackle the economic crisis from both supply and demand sides:

1(C). Immediate launching of a scheme for payment of 3% to 5% PA profit (payable bi-annually) on Foreign Currency bank deposits in Pakistan (backed by the sovereign guarantee of the GoP) with a suitable, but attractive fixed period, as suggested below:

~3% PA profit on deposits up to 2 million USD.

~3.5% Profit on deposits over 2 million USD and up to 3 million USD.

~4% profit on deposits over 3 million USD and up to 4 million USD.

~4.5% profit on deposits over 4 million USD and up to 5 million USD.

~5% profit on deposits over 5 million USD.

~The profits on the above scheme should be payable in the USD and should be exempted from ALL taxes and other deductions, as is also the case with Euro and Sukook Bonds, issued by the GoP.

This is a fool proof scheme, sans any risk, [if at all if fails, government will bear no loss] which can boost up our foreign reserves, in a very short time, on extremely cheap rates, as compared to the foreign loans and international bonds, which were sold by the previous government of PMLN, at even 8.25% interest rates: plus undisclosed Tax Exemptions of at least minimum benefits of around 7% (Pakistan will be repaying USD 910 million for USD 500 million Euro Bonds) for which the then PM Mian Nawaz Sharif was requested to hold an inquiry, to fix the responsibility of the culprit(s), who allowed the sale of Euro Bonds, on such a criminally high interest rates.

2. May approach REBO Bank and IDB which offer funding at extremely low interest rates of 1% and 2% respectively. Here it must be remembered that although, IMF needs 0.9% interest to cover expenses on loans, yet, harsh conditions it charged 3% interest to Pakistan on its last loan to Pakistan.

3. May have tried to get funds from the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), which is operated from Beijing, China.

4. May consider pledging gold with China or any suitable country for obtaining loan against gold, as India did in July 1991, when Reserve Bank of India pledged 46.91 tonnes of gold with the Bank of England and the Bank of Japan to raise $400 million.

5. As detailed proposal has already been submitted to you vide emails titled “Suggestions to recover Pakistani wealth stashed abroad” link:- https://www.snayyar.com/suggestions-to-recover-pakistani-wealth-stashed-abroad.html#sthash.mBhTyTki.dpbs

6. Billions of USD can be easily generated by selling the government lands recently taken back from the encroachers or the government may consider selling the prime properties of President House, vast chunks from the hundreds of Kanals of PM House, the Governor House Lahore or the Prime value land of GOR-1 in Lahore, where in a suitable area, a luxurious world class residential tower can be built, for the residence of the government officers.

Sir, concluding, I would strongly stress that before giving the go ahead for getting strings attached IMF loans, just ponder for a moment that the voters have given their mandate to you, reposing their full trust in your promise that Imran Khan will never lie with his supporters.

May you always have the Blessings of Allah (SWT) to serve Pakistan for a long time to come.

Best Regards,

Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad

Excellency Mr. António Guterres,

Greetings.

There is no doubt that your excellency personally deserves the award of Nobel Peace Prize and I profoundly congratulate your excellency, on the re-emergence of UNO, under your dynamic leadership, as a potent and fearless organisation, which is firmly standing up against the genocide of the hapless people and Human Rights violations, all over the globe.

In the veracity of my above statement the following two monumental reports of UNO are living testimony of the sudden turnaround, being noticed in the performances of the UNO, with special reference to the attention towards the protection of the Human Rights of the weak and subjugated humanity.

1. First-ever UN human rights report on Kashmir calls for international inquiry into multiple violations

2. Myanmar military leaders must face genocide charges – UN report
Link:https://news.un.org/en/story/2018/08/1017802

In continuation of the above, an email was also sent (link provided below) addressed to the Prosecutor International Criminal Court dated 16 September 2018 titled “Fit case for war crimes trial of the leaders of the Indian government and its forces commanders/troops for genocide of Kashmiri population living in Indian Occupied Kashmir” contents reproduced as below:

Quote. “As it may be already very well in your knowledge that UN has described the 8,00,000 Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar, as one of the most persecuted minorities in the world, being tortured, displaced, faced travel and trade limitations, murders, now Rohingya Muslims face child-limitation policies as well.
Similarly, over 10 million Kashmiri Muslim population living since 1947 under Indian occupation forces, are the most persecuted MAJORITY in the world. The list of humanly unimaginable atrocities perpetrated for the last almost seven decades, is so long that its compilation will be more voluminous, than the final print edition of 2010 of 32-volume set of Encyclopaedia Britannica.

YOUR EXCELLENCY, LET NOT THE POSTERITY DOCUMENT THAT YOU SIDED WITH THE HOLOCAUST OFFENDERS OF INDIA AND FAILED TO USE YOUR INFLUENCE TO STOP GENOCIDE OF INNOCENT KIDS, WOMEN AND MEN DEMANDING THEIR LEGAL AND MORAL RIGHT OF SELF DETERMINATION.
REMEMBER KASHMIRI PEOPLE ARE NOT ASKING FOR THE MOON.”

In continuation of the above, an email was also sent (link provided below) addressed to the Prosecutor International Criminal Court dated 16 September 2018 titled “Fit case for war crimes trial of the leaders of the Indian government and its forces commanders/troops for genocide of Kashmiri population living in Indian Occupied Kashmir” contents reproduced as below:

Quote.

“We invite your kind attention towards war crimes being continuously committed and perpetrated by the Indian Army’s leadership and troops under command and orders of the top Indian civilian government leadership in the geographical area of Kashmir under occupation of the Indian forces.

This illegal and unlawful Indian occupation of Kashmir, for a period of over seven decades, is an internationally and UN recognised dispute, as per the security council resolutions, which called for allowing/giving the right of self determination to the Kashmiri population, which is being continuously denied by the Indian government, despite of the fact that the UN military observers are posted both in India and Pakistan. As such, the presence of UN military observers proves beyond any shadow of doubt that Kashmir is NOT and has never been an internal issue/matter of India and that it needs to be resolved as per the relevant UN Security Council Resolutions.

During the above mentioned period of over seven decades, the Kashmiri population has been waging (as allowed under the UN charter) relentless struggle for their right of self determination, paying heaviest price in the history of mankind, in the shape of deaths, injuries, rapes, blindness by attack of pellet guns, abductions, jails and worst imaginable torture perpetuated by the Indian security forces.

In this regard, we take this opportunity to bring to your notice the latest case of war crime committed by the Indian occupying forces in the Indian Held Kashmir, as reported by the daily “The Express Tribune” dated 15 September 2018 titled “
‘Barbaric conduct’: Viral picture shows Indian soldiers dragging body in IoK

Link:- https://tribune.com.pk/story/1803947/3-barbaric-conduct-viral-picture-shows-indian-soldiers-dragging-body-iok/

Moreover, for the detailed study of the reports of the highly reputed International Organisations, about the unparalleled Human Rights violations and unimaginable magnitude of genocide/manslaughter of Kashmiris, committed by the Indian forces, on the orders of their civilian leadership, is duly chronicled and can also be perused at the links given below:

2…https://www.snayyar.com/stop-genocide-in-kashmir.html#sthash.EjvTJiMu.dpbs

In view of the foregoing, you as the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, are requested to immediately initiate necessary proceedings, as per laws of the war crimes, against the responsible Indians, on charges of worst possible human rights violations, in the history of the mankind; of the Kashmiris living under Indian occupation of their land.

Wither Human Rights – Kashmir
An appeal to the Prosecutor

Keeping in view of the fact that from today your excellency is visiting India, where the only untenable argument about Kashmir you are going to get is that it was an integral part of India and it was their internal matter.
Now the question is (even if their untenable argument is accepted for a moment) no law permits Indian authorities to subjugate Kashmiri people with unleashing worst holocaust for over seven decades, when Kashmiris have already decided to live with Pakistan, which is daily manifested by the fact that Kashmiris martyred (on daily basis) are burying their dead wrapped in Pakistani flags.

Moreover, if UN can decide and recommend war crimes trials of Myanmar Military Personnel (where Rohingya Muslims were already their internal matter as no UN Military Observers were posted in Myanmar) why not UN is recommending war crimes trial against the responsible persons of the Indian government authorities which is now using CHEMICAL WEAPONS against the hapless Kashmiris and where UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Mr. Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein has already stated in his report that there is an urgent need to address past and ongoing human rights violations and abuses and deliver justice for all people in Kashmir, who for seven decades have suffered a conflict that has claimed or ruined numerous lives.

Moreover, Indian argument also does not hold water (that Kashmir was their internal matter), because under the UN resolutions about Kashmir, the UNITED NATIONS MILITARY OBSERVER GROUP IN INDIA AND PAKISTAN is working; which is a undeniable testament of the fact that Kashmir is a disputed issue between India and Pakistan and all UN documents and Map’s show Kashmir as a disputed territory and not as an Indian territory, where millions have been killed by the Indian Forces over a period of seven decades, just because Kashmiris were and are demanding their Right of Self Determination, exactly as per the Charter of the UNO.

Your excellency it will not be out of context to inform that in the month of September 2018 the details of the casualties of Kashmiri youths caused by the of Indian forces are as below:

– 42 Killed.
– 231 Injured (including pallet gun injuries).
– 399 Arrested.

The above mentioned latest details of just a single month (September 2018) proves beyond shadow of any doubt that Indian government is determined to exterminate with impunity, from the face of this Earth, the entire youth and young generation of Kashmiris, in a systematic, planned and organised manner, even putting to shame the holocaust caused by Adolf Hitler.

In view of the foregoing, and considering that Kashmir has now become a flashpoint, between the two nuclear power neighbours, which has endangered the peace of the entire world, your excellency is requested to use your authority as the Secretary General of the United Nations, to immediately call a meeting of the Security Council, to address the following issues:

– Looming imminent danger of a full blown nuclear war between Pakistan and India over Kashmir crises.

– Initiative for commencement of war crimes trial against Indian government’s responsible personnel.

Concluding, it is also requested that your excellency may take any suitable action, applying your own independent mind during your current three day visit to India, without being influenced by the false propaganda of the Indians, who yesterday brought this world further closer to the brink of a nuclear armageddon, by firing on a civilian helicopter (legally flying much inside Pakistani territory) which on board had the Prime Minister of AJ&K’s government.

Today the main reason for a low/disappointing score of our team was that we played 175 dot balls (29.1 overs) out of 300 balls (50 overs).

In first 10 overs of our innings when only 2 fielders are allowed outside the 30 yards circle, we scored only 28 runs against Indian score of 53 runs.

Test match strategy, planning and mindset can never work in an ODI game, where name of the game is attack, innovation, positive approach in team selection, batting, bowling, fielding and staying one step ahead of the opponent’s game plan and strategy.

Keeping in view that the ODI world cup is almost around the corner, Shoaib Malik should be immediately appointed captain of the Pakistani cricket team for all the three formats; and a power hitter wicket keeper batsman inducted in place of Sarfaraz Ahmad, who unfortunately, seems to have passed his shelf life; and because of his non-performance, the team has also lost its balance.

‘Barbaric conduct’: Viral picture shows Indian soldiers dragging body in IoK 

Just a misleading propaganda, where all the concerned knows that CSF payments are NOT aid, but reimbursements for use of GLOC facilities through Pakistani area, by the US and the NATO Forces.

Moreover, for Pakistan such unfriendly acts by the US governments are not a surprise. Few decades ago they not only confiscated F-16 planes duly paid in advance by Pakistan, but also demanded and got payments for storage of those confiscated F-16 planes.

Then Pakistani nation and it’s armed forces will never forget killings and maiming of our dozens of dozens officers and men by US bombardment of Pakistani post named SALALA, where these troops were specifically posted for eliminating the terrorists which were moving across the Pak-Afghan border. Those US military authorities totally forgot, before allowing the killings of Pakistani troops that how this very Pakistani Army shed their blood and sweat to protect the lives and honour of the US troops, who were under deadly attack and were being lynched in the streets of Mogadishu, Somalia.

The moral of the story is that if any nation wants to live in peace, it must not be a friend of the United States, because US has a history of not honouring promises with and remembering any sacrifices of a its friendly nations.

Moreover, we Pakistanis should also remember what the US is doing with Iran after signing of the framework for a Comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear program in 2015 by France, Germany, the European Union, Iran, United Kingdom, United States, China and Russia and above all, by even after certifications of IAEA inspectors reporting compliance of the agreement by Iran.

You give these Americans an inch and they will take a foot. As such, the Americans must be told to PAY MORE for all the due compensations (remember CSF payments were NOT compensations) of our sacrifices of men and material in the almost two decades old WOT (which is more longer time span than the length of the combined time of the WWI & WWII), including the free use of the airspace, which was many times more than the combined sacrifices of the 49 members of the NATO countries.

Last but not the least, the Pakistani leaders must keep in mind that America has completely lost the Afghan war, as per the definition of victory and defeat stated by Henry Kissinger that the conventional army (US Forces) loses if it does not win. The guerrilla (Taliban) wins if he does not lose.

Hence, we must play our cards smartly and boldly, to again do favour to our defeated friends, for an honourable exit from Afghanistan, which is not possible, without our help.

Pentagon cancels $300 million aid to Pakistan https://tribune.com.pk/story/1793273/1-pentagon-cancels-300-aid-pakistan-csf/

True to his reputation, Mr. Imran Khan led from the front, on behalf of the sleeping Muslim Ummah to ensure that blasphemous caricatures issue is nipped in the bud.

The greatness of a general not lies in waging and winning the war, but in achieving the objectives, without waging a war.

It is one of the traits of a world level statesman to diffuse any potential crisis, before it blows up into a problem of life and death, for the humanity.

In this regard, the whole world must be thankful and the UN Security Council should pass a resolution of thanks to the proactive leadership of Mr. Imran Khan, in saving it from plunging into a serious challenge of an highly inflammable conflict between followers of different major religions of the world.

Full marks to statesmanship of Mr. Imran Khan, for personally taking the charge to effectively serve the cause of Muslim Ummah.

Mr. Imran Khan rightly deserves the title of Khadim ul Muslameen or Khadim e Islam and also deserves Nobel Peace Prize for a great service towards the cause of interfaith peace and harmony.

Mr. PM every Pakistani is paying tax

Dear Mr. Imran Khan,

AoA.

Sir,

It really hurts when our rulers, ministry of finance bureaucracy and few media persons say our people don’t pay taxes.

Even, in your speech on 20 August 2018 you said that only eight lac people pay taxes, which figure is obviously not correct, because even the number of tax filers are above one million. Yet, again in your senate speech of 27 August 2018 the media reports about you saying that we are also among countries that pay the least amount of tax.

However, the fact is that each and every item except AIR is taxed in Pakistan, which means that entire population of about 22 Crore pays tax in our country. Yes, certain VIP’s receive tax free salaries and also the Independent Power Producers (IPP’s) are allowed tax free income in Pakistan.

Just one example will explain my view point that there are over 12 Crore cell phone users in Pakistan; and each one of them pay tax while using the cell phone. The irony is that this WHT paid by the cell phone users in hundreds of billions of Rupees becomes the income of the TELCOS; as they seldom deposit this huge tax collection with the government.

Even today it was reported by the media that one Airline company has not paid to the government Rs.130 Crore tax it collected from the traveling public and CAA has suggested to put the name of its owners on the ECL.

Sir, since the With Holding Tax was imposed in Pakistan, it caused two way negative impact on the economy. Firstly, it enhanced the prices of almost every item in Pakistan and secondly, it opened huge vistas of corruption for the traders/businessmen/industrialists and bureaucracy in the country.

Now, it is said that our tax to GDP ratio is around 10-12 percent, which is the lowest in the region and the world, as well.

But the fact is that our black economy is bigger than our white economy, in which our people are paying WHT and bribes etc., which amount is almost double than the current tax collection of about Rs.4000 Crore or $40 billion. If someone wants proof of my this estimate, I will refer to the news item published on 17 April 2018 reporting that the Auditor General of Pakistan (AGP), Javaid Jahangir, has claimed that during the audit year 2017-18 auditors pointed out irregularities amounting to Rs8.276 trillion or about $80 billion in the accounts of the federal government. Link:- https://www.google.com.pk/amp/s/www.dawn.com/news/amp/1402111

If irregularities are almost double than the amount of our budget; the level of corruption or black economy can be easily estimated by even a lay man.

Now, the mother of all the financial corruption and taxation problems in Pakistan is the regime of taxation in which over 85% taxation is INDIRECT and less than 15% taxation is DIRECT, plus the scheme of WHT which can be called as one of the biggest source of corruption in the country. Here please note that corruption can not be made unless and until money is taken out of the pocket (in the name of taxes) of the public.

As such, kindly, instead of blaming the public for not paying the taxes, which in fact, even the dweller of Jhuggi is paying, the issues highlighted above of high indirect taxation, tax relief to the VIP’s and certain industries/businesses etc., and the MASSIVE misuse of WHT should be resolved in an intelligent and smart manner. May be the WHT should be withdrawn, altogether considering that world was a better place to live, before the advent of the WHT.

Best Regards,

Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad
