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?

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 admits two things:

1. When the (so called) abducted Police officer told his story to his seniors they ignored his version being non serious.

2. The million Dollar question is still unanswered that how so many very heavily armed attackers entered the fortress like airbase (which probably has Indian nuclear weapons and thus has extremely high level of security) without any clash with the guards?

Now read this latest Barkha Dutt’s following NDTV story:

They Came Back To Kill Me, I’m Innocent, Says Cop Abducted In Pathankot

Barkha Dutt | Updated: Jan 05, 2016 12:55 IST

“They (terrorists) didn’t know I was a police officer,” said Punjab cop Salwinder Singh who was abducted
Chandigarh: At the heart of decoding the many lapses that allowed a huge attack on the Pathankot air force base is a senior police officer who was abducted by the terrorists that are believed to have come from Pakistan.

On the night of December 31, Police Superintendent Salwinder Singh was travelling with two other men following a visit to a shrine near the border with Pakistan. He was not in uniform, but was using his official car which was not, at the time, using the beacon that gives it the right of way in traffic.

“They were armed with AK-47s and spoke in Punjabi, Hindi and Urdu,” said Mr Singh to NDTV, amid reports of inconsistencies in his account shared with central investigators, by whom he was interrogated for six hours yesterday.

The Pathankot attack martyred seven military personnel and injured another 20 at the sprawling base where attack helicopters and fighter jets are kept. “There is nothing dodgy about what I have reported. Is my only fault that I am still alive? Hang me if I have done something wrong. I am a God-fearing man,” the officer said to NDTV.

He said that after his car was hijacked, his arms and legs were tied up and his mouth and eyes were taped. “It was dark as well, so it was hard to count how many men they were,” he said, explaining why he has provided inconsistent accounts of how many terrorists he encountered. Intel officers believe the six terrorists moved in two groups.

“They didn’t know I was a police officer,” Mr Singh said as way of explanation for why the attackers did not kill him. “When they found out who I was, they came back to kill me and warned that if I tried to do anything to alert anyone, I would pay for it.”

Mr Singh says the men took two of his three cellphones. When his gunman or security guard called his mobile, he claims the terrorists answered, saying “Salam Alaikum” (Urdu greeting). That call from his gunman alerted the terrorists to the fact that he is a cop, he said, adding that men at a check-post confirmed to the attackers that the car they were traveling in was a police vehicle.

He said he managed to break free eventually and trekked to a nearby village from where he used the third cellphone still with him to call his senior in the early hours of Friday morning. It turns out that the action that followed was grossly insufficient.

“The truth is that we did not take Singh’s complaint seriously, because his record has not been clean,” a second senior officer in the Punjab police told news agency Reuters, on condition of anonymity.

Home Secretary Rajiv Mehrishi has said despite the information from Mr Singh, the location of the attackers was only pinpointed as Pathankot on Friday afternoon.

That was at least 12 hours after the seizure of Mr Singh’s unmarked vehicle.

One local report said the assailants dumped Mr Singh’s car 500 metres from the base. How they got into the compound is still unclear. Once inside, they burst into a guards’ mess and fired indiscriminately.

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

Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif

Prime Minister of Pakistan

Sir,

You must call an explanation, on the below mentioned question, of the Finance Minister Mr. Muhammad Ishaq Dar, irrespective of the fact that he is your relative, because national interest can’t be compromised at any cost.

Quote:

The Express Tribune Report.

Link..http://tribune.com.pk/story/990484/terms-met-world-bank-approves-500m-for-power-sector-reforms/

“So far, the government has been facing problems in getting concessionary loans from its traditional development partners and has started relying on expensive sources of funding.
From July through September, the government received $1.7 billion in foreign economic assistance and out of that $1.05 billion was on account of expensive commercial borrowings.
These include $263.5 million from Noor Bank Dubai and the $500 million Eurobond.” Unquote.

MY MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION?

Now the Noor Bank loan @4.75% was taken almost at the same time the Eurobonds were floated @8.25%.

The million dollar question is when Noor Bank’s loan was 3.5% cheaper than the Eurobond, why world record most expensive loan was generated thru Eurobonds at 8.25% interest rate, coupled with unspecified tax exemptions also?
