Mr. Ishaq Dar, as you know, Musharraf government sold the Pakistani gold mine company PTCL, to Etisalat Telecom of UAE, with mind boggling condition of transferring 100% physical assets on just 26% share holding of PTCL, that too on pay as you earn basis.

Never ever in the history of the world any government has sold its precious assets on such throw away terms, to a foreign company.

As such, this deal clearly falls under the ODIOUS transaction.

Moreover, Etisalat Telecom is also a defaulter of mind boggling huge amount of $800 million to the GOP since about last 8-10 years. Therefore, in the national interest this PTCL sale deed with Etisalat Telecom should be cancelled and all their foreign executives posted in Pakistan be detained and only released after clearance of all dues with accrued interest by the company.

Mr. Ishaq Dar since you are under oath to serve Pakistan, we trust your personal relations with the UAE rulers will not come in the way of your duty towards your motherland.

Two proposals for generating funds for the Shaukat Khanam Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Center.

I have two proposals. Firstly, as is the practise in the UK, any charity by an employee is equally matched and the same amount is donated by the employer for that specific organisation.
Please consider to cultivate the same culture in Pakistan. Secondly, souvenirs of SKMCH & RC should be available for the purchase of the general public throughout the country and abroad including Afghanistan.

Don’t Be Late for That Meeting

When you can text or email a colleague and let her know you’re running late, it’s easy to push back meetings. This ability to quickly communicate is helpful when you’re unavoidably detained, but overusing it has costs. One study found that staff lateness costs the UK economy £9 billion per year. There’s something to be said for old-fashioned punctuality. Sixty years ago, it was important to keep commitments because there was less opportunity to reschedule on the fly. But even in this era of always-on technologies, being on time is important. It keeps you focused. It conveys to others that you’re reliable. And it shows respect for the people who don’t have to waste their time waiting on you.

Sleeping with enemy???

Mr. Imran Khan can someone from KPK government clarify the statement of Mr. Faisal Karim Kundi that PTI KPK law minister Mr. Israr ullah Gandapur is supporting the son of Maulana Fazlur Reman in elections?

PM Mian M Nawaz Sharif needs to clarify that:-

1. Is the below mentioned news true as reported by Dawn today on 5 August, 2013 that our PM has assured the Americans that there will be no trial of Pervaiz Musharraf under article 6?

2. And if the release of Dr. Shakeel Afridi and Pervaiz Musharraf was discussed with John Kerry why the release of Dr. Aafia was not discussed with the visiting US SoS?

Dawn News:-

ISLAMABAD: Former interior minister and a leader of the All Pakistan Muslim League Mian Zahid Sarfaraz has claimed Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has assured the United States that retired Gen Pervez Musharraf will soon be released and allowed to go abroad.

Addressing a news conference on Sunday, Mr Sarfaraz said that the release of Gen Musharraf and Dr Shakil Afridi, who had allegedly helped the US trace Osama bin Laden’s hideout in Abbottabad, had come under discussion between Mr Sharif and US Secretary of State John Kerry during the latter’s recent visit to Islamabad.

Mr Sarfaraz, who is chief organiser of the Musharraf-led APML, said the US never left its supporters in trouble and just like Raymond Davis, who shot dead two people in Lahore, both Gen Musharraf and Dr Afridi would soon be allowed to go abroad.

He said Mr Sharif had no courage to seek Gen Musharraf’s trial under article 6 of the constitution.

Mr Sarfaraz said Gen Musharraf was living a comfortable life with his family at his farmhouse, though the same had been declared a sub-jail.

Difference of a timid dictator and a brave popularly elected leader..!

Hope the lion Mian M Nawaz Sharif will not succumb to the empty threats of the USA on this issue like PM fell in line on one telephone call of Colin Powell

Few Suggestions for the Consideration of ICC..!

1. In order to enhance credibility and transparency of the game, it should be made mandatory for the TV camera to show the stopped coin after the toss. This will remove any doubt about the rumours that huge money is involved in betting regarding the toss decision, which obviously is not shown these days on the TV screens.

2. Rules regarding the UDRS may be amended so that batting or bowling side may ask for unlimited number of reviews, with a condition that EVERY unsuccessful review will result in deduction of 10 runs from the grand total of the team’s TOTAL score, as UDRS penalty; only for deciding the result of the match.
It is repeated that these penalty runs will not be deducted from the individual scores of the batsmen, but only from the total score of the team, to ONLY just decide the winner of the match.
