How A Pakistani Changed The Foreign Policy of Japan and the USA In Favour of Pakistan vs India..!

Details of Amazing and historical Services of an ordinary Pakistani in the International Diplomacy for the Country.

I have provided valuable advice to the Pakistani governments and its leaders on national issues, as well as to world leaders on international affairs. My articles and writings are widely read and appreciated. My letter to the Indian Prime Minister Modi was duly appreciated and published in India, as well.

Later on, with the sheer Blessings of Allah (SWT) last year, I achieved a historical success for Pakistan in international diplomacy, which is unparalleled in the history of international relations. My immediate response of writing a letter on 22 March 2022 to the Japanese PM Fumio Kishida on inclusion of a full paragraph naming and shaming Pakistan in the Japan-India joint communique of March 19, 2022 resulted in complete removal of that paragraph in the subsequent Japan-India joint communique on September 8, 2022.

Similarly, my prompt action in writing a detailed 10 page letter to the US President Joe Biden on April 12, 2022, resulted in the amendment of the 11 April 2022 US-India joint communique, where Pakistan was initially named and shamed. Within 44 days, the mention of the word PAKISTAN was deleted in the Quad Leaders-India joint communique issued from the White House on May 24, 2022.

Empowering Local Governments and Unifying Pakistan: A Path to Economic Take-Off

Introduction:

Pakistan, a nation rich in cultural diversity and natural resources, has long struggled to achieve sustained economic growth and development. One of the key factors hindering its progress has been the lack of strong and financially independent local governments, which provided tremendous opportunities for the elite capture of the country’s 1 per cent mega rich class. Additionally, the presence of provincial bias and ethnicity has contributed to regional disparities and hindered nationalistic unity. To facilitate economic take-off and break the strangle hold of the mega rich class, Pakistan must urgently focus on empowering local governments and consider restructuring divisions into provinces/units or riasats named PK-1 onwards. By addressing these two critical aspects, Pakistan can pave the way for a more inclusive and prosperous future.

The Role of Strong and Financially Independent Local Governments:

Strengthening local governments is essential for effective governance and inclusive development. Empowering local bodies with administrative, financial, and legislative powers will enable them to address the unique challenges and opportunities faced by their communities. Decentralizing decision-making processes and devolving authority to the grassroots level will allow for better allocation of resources and targeted development initiatives.

With strong local governments, Pakistan can improve service delivery, enhance infrastructure, and address local issues promptly. Moreover, empowering local authorities will foster citizen participation and accountability, as people will have a more direct say in matters that impact their lives.

Transforming Divisions into Provinces/Units or Riasats:

The current administrative structure of Pakistan is divided into four provinces, each with its distinct identity and culture. While diversity is a source of strength, it can also lead to provincial bias and conflicts. By converting all divisions into provinces/units or riasats named PK-1 onwards, Pakistan can eliminate provincial bias and create a more unified national identity.

This transformation will help bridge the gap between different regions, fostering a sense of inclusivity and belonging among citizens. It will also create a level playing field for all areas, ensuring equitable distribution of resources and development opportunities. As the new administrative units are named with a standardized system, it will promote a sense of unity and pride in being part of a larger nation.

Impact on Nationalistic Unity:

Promoting nationalistic unity is crucial for a country’s progress and stability. By creating a sense of shared identity and purpose, Pakistan can overcome regional and ethnic divisions that have hampered its growth. The transformation of divisions into provinces/units or riasats will encourage citizens to identify as Pakistanis first and foremost, fostering a stronger bond among the diverse population.

A united nation is more likely to work collectively towards common goals, fostering patriotism and a sense of ownership among the people. This will lead to improved social cohesion and reduced inter-provincial tensions, which have, in the past, hindered cooperation and collaboration.

Economic Implications of Empowered Local Governments and Unification:

Empowering local governments and unifying administrative divisions will have far-reaching economic implications with particular dividends in loosening the grip of the elite class over Pakistan, which do not need injection of dollars, but a rebuilding of the country inside out; as under the current system any amount of foreign investment or creation of wealth will ultimately benefit the elite class. This was aptly witnessed in the reported misappropriation of about 23 billion PKR in distribution of cash to the poor during the previous government and again reported corruption of billions of PKR in the free AATA distribution under the present regime.
The local authorities, with more autonomy, can devise their own tailored development strategies to address the unique challenges and opportunities present in their regions. This targeted approach will lead to improved economic outcomes, as development plans will be better aligned with local needs and resources.

Moreover, a unified administrative structure will facilitate smoother coordination and decision-making at the national level. This will streamline the implementation of economic policies, leading to improved investor confidence and a more conducive business environment. As the nation becomes more united, it will attract foreign investment and increase trade opportunities, boosting economic growth and job creation.

Addressing Regional Disparities:

Pakistan’s economic landscape is marked by significant regional disparities. Certain areas have experienced rapid economic growth and development, while others have lagged behind. This uneven progress has contributed to social and economic inequalities, leaving some communities marginalized and underserved.

By empowering local governments and unifying administrative divisions, Pakistan can address these regional disparities more effectively. Local authorities, being more familiar with their regions, can implement targeted policies and projects to uplift underdeveloped areas. This will ensure that no part of the country is left behind in the pursuit of economic growth and prosperity.

Conclusion:

For Pakistan to achieve economic take-off, it must prioritize empowering local governments and consider converting all divisions into provinces/units or riasats named PK-1 onwards. By doing so, the nation can foster a sense of nationalistic unity, eliminate provincial bias, and create a more inclusive and prosperous future for all citizens.

Strengthening local governments will enhance governance and service delivery, while unifying administrative divisions will promote a sense of shared identity and purpose. The economic implications are profound, with targeted development strategies, improved investor confidence, and a more conducive business environment. Furthermore, addressing regional disparities will ensure that the benefits of economic growth are distributed equitably across the country.

By taking these crucial steps, Pakistan can lay the foundation for sustained economic growth and development on a fast track basis, making significant strides towards a brighter and more prosperous future.

To protect the middle and poor classes from ever-increasing and back-breaking schooling fees and utility rates, the government of Pakistan can explore the following out-of-the-box solutions:

1. Education Vouchers: Introduce an education voucher system where the government provides vouchers to eligible families to cover a portion of their children’s schooling fees. This empowers parents to choose more affordable schools and encourages healthy competition among educational institutions.
2. Community Schools: Establish community-based schools in low-income areas with reduced fees, supported by the government or private organizations. These schools can provide quality education at a lower cost, making education more accessible to disadvantaged students.
3. Utility Subsidies: Implement targeted subsidies on electricity, gas, and petroleum products for low-income households. By providing financial relief on utilities, the burden on the middle and poor classes can be reduced significantly. Moreover, three working days in office can also be experimented to reduce consumption of utilities and transportation costs and pollution, as was very successfully done during peak covid periods.
4. Renewable Energy Initiatives: Invest in renewable energy projects to decrease dependency on costly imported fuels and reduce electricity tariffs. This approach can lead to more affordable energy rates, benefiting all consumers, especially the economically vulnerable.
5. Public-Private Partnerships: Collaborate with private companies to create initiatives that offer discounted utility rates and scholarships for low-income families. Such partnerships can leverage the resources of both sectors to achieve sustainable and inclusive solutions.
6. Smart Metering and Energy Efficiency: Promote the adoption of smart meters and energy-efficient appliances to reduce electricity and gas consumption. The government can incentivize households to use energy-saving technologies by offering rebates or reduced rates for those who implement such measures.
7. Digital Learning Solutions: Invest in digital learning platforms and resources to make education more cost-effective. By utilizing technology, access to educational materials can be expanded, easing the financial burden on students and their families, particularly in purchasing books and copies etc.
8. Skill Development Programs: Implement skill development programs to enhance employability among the middle and poor classes. By providing opportunities for vocational training and job placement, these individuals can improve their income levels and overall financial stability.
9. Transparent Pricing Policies: Ensure transparency in utility pricing by regularly communicating the factors contributing to rate changes. This approach can increase public trust and understanding, leading to more effective feedback and potential refinements in policies.
10. Financial Literacy Programs: Educate citizens, especially the middle and poor classes, about financial planning, budgeting, and savings. Equipping them with essential financial skills can empower them to manage their expenses effectively and plan for their children’s education.

Combining these out-of-the-box solutions with a commitment to sustainable economic growth and social welfare can help protect the middle and poor classes from the burden of increasing schooling fees and utility rates in Pakistan.

Introduction:
Cricket, a sport steeped in tradition, is now at a crossroads, seeking ways to maintain public interest and widen its popularity. To achieve this goal, innovative changes to the format can be implemented, which not only ensure captivating gameplay but also save time and expenses for all stakeholders involved. This proposal advocates adjusting the over lengths in different formats while keeping the essence of the game intact.

1. Reimagining Over Lengths:
   To infuse excitement and optimize the spectator experience, it is suggested that a standard over in all formats be comprised of 10 balls. By increasing the number of balls per over, players and viewers alike will witness a higher frequency of game-changing moments, leading to an intensified competitive spirit.
2. ODIs: Embracing the 10 balls 30-over Format:
   To adapt to the modern era’s fast-paced lifestyle, it is proposed that One Day Internationals (ODIs) adopt a 30-over format equal to the current 300 balls per innings . This modification strikes a balance between maintaining the strategic aspects of the game and providing a concise and engaging experience. A shorter ODI format will attract a wider audience, ensuring cricket remains at the forefront of the global sporting landscape.
3. T20: Elevating Thrills with 12 Overs:
   While Twenty20 (T20) cricket is already renowned for its quick-fire action, shortening the format to 12 overs per side of the same current innings of 120 balls will make it even more appealing. By focusing on explosive batting and ingenious bowling strategies, the game will become an adrenaline-packed spectacle, making T20s the preferred choice for both seasoned cricket enthusiasts and newcomers.
4. Preserving the Heritage: Test Matches:
   Test matches, known for their enduring battles and resilience, should retain their traditional charm. However, acknowledging the need for efficiency, it is proposed to limit the innings to a maximum of 100 overs of 10 balls per over played for five days. This adaptation ensures that the game’s purity remains intact while reducing the duration, making it more feasible for both players and spectators.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, the proposed changes to cricket’s format seek to revolutionize the sport, catering to the demands of the modern audience while preserving its core values. Implementing 10-ball overs, adopting 30 and 12-over formats for ODIs and T20s respectively, and capping Test innings at 100 overs will not only retain public interest but also lead to an increase in the game’s popularity worldwide. By embracing these alterations, cricket will continue to thrive as a sport that captivates and unites people from all walks of life.

An Open Letter to Pakistanis.

اسلام و علیکم

It is not correct and wise thinking that only the ministry of finance can stem the economic rot of Pakistan.

If at all we have to get rid of the slavery of the IMF, the entire nation, including the government machinery, needs to correct our direction (Qibla) without wasting a moment, as waste of over 75 years was more than enough time to completely mortgage our country into the stranglehold of our creditors.

Now, leaving aside politics, we must concentrate and focus only on the factors that could re-build Pakistan on a fast track model.

Given below are some doable homegrown solutions for Pakistan to economically flourish without taking any help from the IMF:

• Invest in renewable energy. Pakistan has a wealth of renewable energy resources, such as solar and wind power. Investing in these resources would help to reduce the country’s reliance on imported oil and gas, which would save money and reduce pollution. Moreover, cheapest and most reliable energy is available to us from Iran for which Pakistan MUST make concerted efforts by some out of box and daring thinking and actions by bringing this energy source under the ambit of the CPEC and visionary planning of building oil and gas pipeline of Iran to China through Pakistan as it will be more risk free than the bringing gas etc from Turkmenistan via Afghanistan. Here we should not forget that by out of box thinking earlier India purchased Iranian oil without payments for ten years to circumvent sanctions on Iran.
• Increase IT exports. We must focus on the impediments facing our IT sector exports and in this regard there was a an extra ordinary need of formation of Pakistan IT Exports Board which should also be entrusted regulatory authority powers for ensuring radical improvement in the very poor IT education standards in Pakistan.
• Expand the tourism industry. Pakistan has a rich history and culture, which could attract tourists from all over the world. Expanding the tourism industry would create jobs and boost the economy.
• Promote small businesses. Small businesses are the backbone of any economy. By providing support and training to small businesses, Pakistan can create jobs and stimulate economic growth.
• Improve the education system. A well-educated workforce is essential for economic growth. By improving the education system, Pakistan can produce a more skilled workforce that can compete in the global economy.
• Invest in the agricultural sector. Pakistan is a major agricultural producer, but its agricultural sector is still underdeveloped. By investing in the agricultural sector, Pakistan can increase food production and reduce its reliance on imports. This would help to boost the economy and create jobs.
• Export trained manpower. Pakistan has a large pool of skilled and educated workers. By exporting trained manpower, Pakistan can earn foreign exchange and help to create jobs. This would help to boost the economy and improve the standard of living for its citizens.

Here are some specific examples of how Pakistan can invest in the agricultural sector and export trained manpower:

• Invest in irrigation and water management systems. This would help to increase crop yields and reduce the risk of crop failure.
• Invest in agricultural research and development. This would help to develop new crops and agricultural practices that are more resistant to pests and diseases.
• Invest in agricultural education and training. This would help to create a skilled workforce that can meet the demands of the agricultural sector.
• Develop a strategy to export trained manpower. This could involve working with foreign companies to identify the skills that they need and then training Pakistani workers to meet those needs.
• Reduce corruption. Pakistan must devise a method of replacing the system and culture which ensures that ‘Corruption Pays’ rather than ‘Corruption is a Crime’. Corruption is a major drain on the Pakistani economy. By reducing corruption, Pakistan can save money and improve the efficiency of government services. One of the easiest way to minimise corruption is to bring in transparency and accountability by using IT in the systems of each and every department dealing with the public but the customs and tax departments must be 100% automated on top most priority. Moreover, NO funds for development projects should be allocated to the parliamentarians at any cost. Other government departments must learn from the Punjab Education Department where the transfers of hundreds of thousands teachers has been computerised resulting in virtual elimination corruption and other malpractices.

In addition to the above suggestions, Pakistan could also consider the following:

Freeze politics for 10 years We have had enough of politics, which has virtually blown us apart and badly divided the nation, whereas, without unity there can be no prosperity. Now Pakistan deserves a break from politics, as otherwise also without grass root level democracy in the political system and the political parties (sans proper/genuine intra party elections), claims and slogans for democracy were a sham and a big farce.

• Expanding trade with other countries. Pakistan could negotiate trade deals with other countries to increase exports and reduce imports. This would help to boost the economy and create jobs.
• Investing in infrastructure. Pakistan’s infrastructure is in need of major investment. By investing in roads, bridges, and other infrastructure, Pakistan can improve the efficiency of the economy and make it easier for businesses to operate.
• Attracting foreign investment. Pakistan can attract foreign investment by creating a more business-friendly environment. This would bring in much-needed capital and help to create jobs.

Radical restructuring judicial and taxation systems is also the crying need of the hour.

By taking the above-mentioned steps, Pakistan, to a large extent, can achieve economic prosperity without relying on the IMF.

Sad Story of the reversal of the US Government’s policy change in favour of Pakistan after my 10 pages letter dated 12 April 2022 to the US President Joe Biden:

It will not be out of place to mention that a very senior bureaucrat of the the Pakistani Foreign Office once told a friend that the US foreign policy
is not changed in the manner the writer was claiming.

However, as a proof, it can be verified that not only Allah (SWT) Blessed me success with the USA when it removed the specific word ‘PAKISTAN’ from their next joint statement in May 2022, the Japanese government also removed the entire PARAGRAPH in the next Japan – India Joint communique in September 2022. after I wrote directly to the Japanese PM on 22 March 2022 when on March 19, 2022 the Japan-India joint communique literally NAMED and SHAMED Pakistan at Para # 8.
Link:- https://www.snayyar.com/pakistani-foreign-policy-gains-of-2022.html#sthash.L0otErvh.dpbs

We can observe the highly offensive language used against Pakistan in the relevant part of the Fourth Annual US-India 2+2 Ministerial Dialogue Communique of 11 April 2022:

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-Qaida, 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.

Link: -https://www.state.gov/fourth-annual-u-s-india-22-ministerial-dialogue/

On the very next day on 12 April 2022, I sent the following letter to Joe Biden President of the United States tiled ‘An Open Letter to the President of the United States.

Link: – https://www.snayyar.com/an-open-letter-to-the-president-of-the-united-states.html

By the Grace of Allah (SWT) my above mentioned letter to President Joe Biden proved extremely impactful, which can be observed with the

Quad leaders-India Joint Statement dated 24 May 2022 which SPECIFICALLY OMITTED the name of PAKISTAN, as below:

MAY 24, 2022

Quad Joint

Leaders’ Statement

The White House

Para # 7

Relevant portion where specifically name of PAKISTAN was OMITTED:

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.

Link: – https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/05/24/quad-joint-leaders-statement/

COMPARISON:

Now compare the above language and wording of 24 May 2022 Quad Joint Leader’s statement of the White House (word PAKISTAN was not mentioned) with the 11 April 2022 US-INDIA communique where name of PAKISTAN is SPECIFICALLY mentioned in extremely HARSH language, which proves the favorable impact my letter to the American President had, in favourably moulding the US Foreign Policy towards Pakistan.

Now, after the above mentioned 24 May 2022 tilt in the US foreign policy favouring Pakistan, this time the Indians reversed our gains in the US-India joint statement of 22 June 2023 [ link of Para # 32 https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/06/22/joint-statement-from-the-united-states-and-india/ ]

which is really a sad story of slackness of all the concerned in the government of Pakistan.

Respected Minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar Sahab.

السلام وعلیکم

Sir,

The budget of FY 23-24 you present on 9th June 23 has the outlay of PKR 14.5 trillion, but tax revenue generation of PKR 9.2 trillion ONLY.

In this regard, Dr. Ikram ul Haq has already proposed in minutest details how to generate over PKR14 trillion TAX REVENUE by reducing the tax rate, but expanding its base.

Now, either the Finance Ministry should accept the taxation ideas of Dr. Ikram ul Haq about the above-mentioned tax revenue generation, or it should inform the public that PKR over 14 trillion can not be generated with the proposals of Dr. Ikram ul Haq.

Sir, this is all the more a critical issue for Pakistan as IMF funding is undecided and FBR has already failed to collect tax revenue targets of PKR 7.6 trillion of FY 22-23 and now it will be required to meet the tax revenue target of PKR 9.2 trillion of 23-24 with reduced imports, which looks well neigh impossible.

As such, you may seriously consider the proposals of Dr. Ikram ul Haq for adopting the least disruptive taxation measures, which aims to generate tax revenues of above PKR 14 trillion instead of your target of PKR 9.6 trillion during FY 23-24.

A letter of the year 2019 even more relevant today.

From Pakistan With Love to All the Indians..!

Happy New Year 2019 – To All the Indians

New Year Resolution – From Pakistan With Love 💖 to All the Indians..!

While wishing all the Indians a very happy, peaceful and prosperous new year 2019, we would like to inform everyone in India that if at all, we have to be friends, then that friendship must be in true sense; and we must not act and behave with each other, in a hypocritical manner.

We Pakistanis would also like to assure the Indians that even if we wanted, we can’t conquer India. At the same time even if India wanted, it can’t pull down Pakistan, without India being destroyed, as well.

So, why to waste our time and energies in an imaginary hatred policies?
Why to waste our precious resources, in being the prisoners of our foolish past?
From the first day of the new year 2019, let us bury our bitter past and be friends in true sense, like all the European countries:

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

Let us have a genuine peace. Let India remove all its strike forces from the border without any fear. Let us join hands to wage a war against poverty, hunger, disease and illiteracy. Let us turn this subcontinent into a bastion of peace and a heaven on earth:

Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic slander and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease,
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.

India and Pakistan just need a period of single decade of genuine peace, to turn around its fortunes to emerge as the most potent economic and cultural power-house of this world.

The only condition is the genuine and authentic peace, like the one which exists in between the EU countries.

Why India and Pakistan should live for decades like divided Korea? Why both the countries can not live like united Europe?

Europe which was so divided that its residents fought two world wars; but now when sense has prevailed, Europeans are reaping the dividends of peace.

Now, when both India and Pakistan are nuclear powers, conquering one other is out of question, without Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD).

As such, those believing in success of low intensity wars are lunatics, living in fools paradise, like Hitler and Mussolini.

War between two nuclear neighbours is out of contention, because, even if one country using first strike option annihilates the other neighbour, the fallout of nuclear radiation will leave the victor, uninhabitable forever.

Thus, peace is the only option for India and Pakistan.

Don’t be afraid of problems between the two countries, because they will remain for ever, but we have to give priority to peace, over the problems.

Let us make a new start from the beginning of the new year 2019, with the slogan – Long live the friendship of the teeming millions of India and Pakistan.

Once again our kind regards and best wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year 2019 to all the Indians.

Dear Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif,

I am writing to you today to urge you to take the necessary steps to create a new social contract for Pakistan. The current social contract is broken. It is no longer working for the majority of Pakistanis.

The old social contract was based on the idea that the government would provide for the basic needs of its citizens, such as education, healthcare, and security. In return, citizens would be loyal to the government and obey its laws.

However, this social contract has broken down. The government is no longer able to provide for the basic needs of its citizens. The education system is in shambles, healthcare is unaffordable for many, and the security situation is dire.

As a result, many Pakistanis are feeling disillusioned and disenfranchised. They feel that the government is not working for them and that they have no voice in the political process.

This is a dangerous situation. It is breeding resentment and anger, which could lead to violence and instability.

We need a new social contract. A social contract that works for everyone, not just the elite. A social contract that guarantees basic rights and opportunities for all Pakistanis.

A new social contract would need to include the following elements:

• A strong commitment to education and healthcare.
• A fair and just legal system.
• A government that is accountable to its citizens.
• A strong economy that creates jobs and opportunities for all.

A new social contract is not a magic bullet. It will not solve all of Pakistan’s problems overnight. But it is a necessary step towards building a more just and prosperous society for all.

As such, I urge you to take the lead in creating a new social contract for Pakistan. It is the only way to ensure a better future for our country.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
