The allegation of malafide intentions without clearly saying what he means is a typical journalistic spin.
Beautifuly explained..., how Pakistan media confuse the masses, which is very much clear from the subject which mention ‘project’ instead of AWAC’s and ‘ruined’ instead of slashed the order.
Corruption in military deals in Pakistan like everywhere else is nothing new.
Corruption in military deals has always been done by politicians of Pakistan e.g. BB took double kick back, when she canceled the entire F-16 deal and received surplus US crop, whose market value was much less and even the transport bill was inflated.
Otherwise US had to self finance to get rid of surplus wheat and Pakistan’s PNSC was never asked to make proposal for transport.
This deal alone will remain the biggest kick back in world history of military deals.
Credit of second biggest kick back deal involving a aircraft contract of $4billion from French also goes to PPP.
If that is the case shouldn't it be applicable to rest of the country too.Hey then even Politicians should be ok too.
Politicians eat the entire country like parasite.
I’m sorry to say politics is not a profession, where they can credit any service to nation, other than some murders during the power struggel.
Again PPP top the list in civilian kick back deals, SGS-Cotecna, ARY, Ursus Polish tractor deal, Swedish aircraft deal, Agosta submarine purchasae, etc.
I think NAB was handling mostly civilian kick back cases and big names from present govt. were in the list, inclusive of prominent musheers, speakers, ministers etc.
Recently, PML foiled a civilian kickback deal by our dear govt. when they did not invite bids for CNG busses did not made any case study but orderd to buy Indian scrap, imagine they started where they left.
Apart from this we all know how, Ishaq khan, Farooq leghari, Watoo, Wayeen and Nawaz Sharif to expose corruption of PPP wide open in the state media and that will remain a record untill it is also burned down by PPP like they did in FIA and NAB record rooms, immediately after assuming power.
PPP leadership is convicted in courts of all Europe. There rule has always ended with trail of gross corruptions.
Mush never was or is an airforce man.
Thanks for the information. Who decide airforce deals in your india?
As stated by PAFAce:
There could have been a million other reasons for the insistence to buy from the Chinese which Mr. Kaleem may have been unaware of…
P.Musharraf, was elected President of Pakistan by 2 tire system 1) Nationwide referendum 2) Parliament.A
Why do we all not think that it was Musharraf who organised funds for AWACS, if it would have been up to politicians they would have bought second hand equipment at the cost of new and this is where over invoicing have chances.
Any how, since EU formed it is not easy for EU companies to passout kickbacks they can only benifit as much they were doing in this case hiring one or two aquantices and renting a house for an extra amount.
exACM Kaleem sounds a cheap person where he took meager benifit from SAAB and I'm sure he will land some job or a lot of land over this sensalization.
If 2 more AWACS are better, than ex ACM should have urged the present govt. to buy the remaining two instead of discrediting Chinese AWACS.
There is no doubt that 6 AWACS from SAAB would have been much better than 4 but decision was clearly made due to limited funds and new threat prospects from west.
