and wht choices do pakistanis have? i was not specifically talking about PMLN here and you took me wrong, i was talking about past PPP era, PTI in KPK, PPP in sindh and the federal and no government has brought change these so called democratic forces brought no change

And what? Havent we had discussions upon discussions on failed systems and parties and problems?
You know what I conclude.. WE LOVE this system. We love it because it fuels our needs for pointless debate and crap talking.
Our temperament as a nation is that of spoilt brats who only go crazy if they have to prove something.

We need demons because we cant accept our own singular faults.. hammering democracy has little usefulness since our military adventures have been even worse off. But unfortunately our mind thinks like a ball bouncing between a rock and a hardplace.. running to one or the other and stuck in that loop.
Get out of that loop.. get out of looking for miracles and fake prophets of tabdeeli or otherwise.
Each of us has the ability to dicern the system we want for ourselves, how we like our society to be in all fairness. If one person is happy with a bunch of thugs who are running a system at least then they are happy.. let them have it. If a majority is happy with feudal industrialists running their lives on neoptism then let them have it. Let them take those choices and live with it, let them evolve on those choices without coming up with Tahir-ul-Qadri type rip van winkle moments where it seems you suddenly had an epiphany about the political system of Pakistan even though you have repeated the same statements from the past one year...

DID you anything about it? Write a letter to a news paper? Burn a tyre? NO.. You did not. So what is with the whole "nothing works for us" , "We need a change".. etc..

What change? What system? Do you have a clear cut directional plan? a 1,2,3 ,4,5,6,7, etc steps? Detailed to tackle the ENTIRE demographic of Pakistan with its many nations, many problems and all that?
NO.

Did you in your tirade against these parties include the MQM whose leader has millions if not billions stashed away in cash? Cash whose very origin is VERY suspect? NO

Tu Phir kyun chilla raha hai bhai? (Why the ruckus).
What is the difference between you , the PTI wallas, the Nooras, the Jiyalas, the Mushis, The Faujians??
At the end all you guys are doing is sitting in the bloody fish market trying to out-scream "one miracle fish" while all these miracle fish are collectively screwed you over. At the end the status is nothing.. just the stench of a rotting fish market which is under the threat of closure.
It took Iqbal twenty years from the beginning of his philosophical journey to the inception of the idea of a separate Muslim state. Within that time he thought about it, deeply, quietly.. with multiple alternatives..and then proposed it.

Take that time out to really answer all the questions you have put forward.. instead of just repeating them again and again and again. Because otherwise you are exactly in the same situation as this man @ 0:37

 

[runa moosani]

who wants to pay tax even in foreig countries?, its the government who ensures that taxes are collected efficiently and utilised efficiently also, if your taxes arnt helping you in any way and the way paying your taxes inundated entire karachi city which exposed very poor governance and municipal system then you become more unwilling to pay taxes

instead of making tax collection efficient and making FBR a more competent organisation, the ganjas just overburdened people will more taxes just because OMF demanded it

Wait for 2 or 3 years,pakistan's situation is worst it can't be changed in only few months,it is easy to critisize mister but hard to do anything,everything is not easy like commeting.

rukus, etc has alse being made in Egypt and its not working for Egypt infact worse

revolution in iran is also not working for iranians

we in pakistan at least have democracy but it should have been functioning democrcy some how we are stuck in the middle of no where

some how turkey was able to bring people like erdogan, but only erdogan doesnt change the setup and bring honest leadershipo to the grass roots level, its the complete package, the complete political system

PTI failed to tranform from good leadership into complete system

MQM has been sidelined

i think only MQM if it is made to rule the country can bring some change but MQM is very limited party and a controversial one

the only change that can come is through new political system while keeping democracy

but its not possible in few years, and we dont have much time and we cant suffer for next five years again

Wait for 2 or 3 years,pakistan's situation is worst it can't be changed in only few months,it is easy to critisize mister but hard to do anything,everything is not easy like commeting.

its not even easy to comment, because when you are speaking the truth and you have the foresightedness then it takes deep thinking and you can believe me we cant go for two three years like this, and thats why im complaining and not whinging

you can believe me hardly in one year people seeing the same old rusted system and no change in sight, they will no long be able to hold their emotions

because people are fed up and last govt is making them more fed up with this new one

[darkinsky]

i think its best for pakistan if the two parties MQM and PTI replace the right wing and left wing of PPP and PMLN because these two parties are corrupt to the core

MQM will need to become a party for wider goals and eliminate their internal problems and controversies

similarly PTI will need to come at the front as a more organised mature system and following who doesnt harbour lotas and feudals and people with dual standards

but i think that these two parties if they improve themselves can be the future of pakistani politics
because only these parties has some material in them

i dont see any future with PMLN and PPP

only patch up work before the true system in place will be another martial law

if their incompetence will remain same i can tell you their is one future martial law(because the army intervention needs reasons and people like zardari and ganja is providing every reason to them) waiting around the corner, it was only kyani who wanted to support democracy but the coming army chief, you may never know about him and if he decides to impose another martial law

the establishment will create their new toys to play with and completely annihilate PPP and PMLN because they both have gone out of their hands

Some development news

Govt to develop Rs 3 billion industrial city

LAHORE: The Punjab government plans to develop a new industrial city at a cost of Rs 3 billion along motorway during current fiscal year 2013-14. However, a site is yet to be identified,

Official sources told APP on Friday that the government was attaching high priority to strengthening the industrial base and installation of new industrial units was imperative.

Though it is an uphill task as the government can not alone set up industries in good numbers, therefore, it has decided to establish an industrial city under public-private partnership. It also intends to offer lucrative incentives to private entrepreneurs.

Revealing details of the proposed industrial city, Provincial Minister for Industries Choudhry Mohammed Shafiq said the industrial city was the need of the hour to spur industrial activities in the province. He said special steps are also being taken to establish a business friendly environment. He said, owing to bomb attacks, confidence of local investors has been shaken and they are reluctant to invest here.

Therefore, he said, to restore their confidence special focus is being paid on improving law and order in the province. He maintained that the country’s prosperity was directly linked to huge industries. “No considerable number of industries were set up during the past couple of years but with the new government’s comprehensive industries plan, maximum industries are being established both in public and private sectors,” he added. He said new industries would create job opportunities and accommodate hundreds of thousands of unemployed people. app

Two waste water treatment plants on Ravi approved

The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) and Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) will conduct a feasibility study for the construction of waste water treatment plants at two sites on the RaviRiver. According to sources in WASA and LDA, the Punjab government has proposed that these projects be started as soon as possible, pending the feasibility study. The estimated budget for the construction of the Waste Water Treatment Plant at Northern site at Mahmood Booti/ Salamat Pura in Lahore is Rs 261 million. Additionally, an amount of Rs 225 million would be needed to construct the Waste Water Treatment Plant at the Babu Sabu site. Hence the need for the LDA to conduct the study and determine whether this project is indeed feasible in light of the extravagant budget it requires. The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) also expressed interested in financing the project through a low-interest loan

Plan to seek massive investment in development of Islamabad

Islamabad—After failing to develop Islamabad as metropolitan city on international standards, the new government has initiated steps to attract huge investment from within and abroad to complete its mega projects including housing units, water supply systems and infrastructure development.

New chairman of civic body Nadeem Hassan Arif, taking direct instructions from Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has taken up the challenge of building the tattered city on Dubai model.

With rampant corruption sneaking into every layer of CDA administration, the new Chairman has initiated drastic steps to rid the civic body of corruption and restructuring it on modern lines to take up the task. The fund-starved body is bogged down to complete its mega projects with no hope of generating enough funds from the existing system. Development of seven sectors, Kashmir and Margallah Roads, mega water supply schemes, upgrading sewerage and water distribution systems and entertainment parks and points are in shambles due to want of necessary funds.

On assuming the charge, the Chairman has moved a summary to the Cabinet for making amendments in CDA 1960 ordinance to pave the way for inflow of massive investment from private sector in Islamabad.

A CDA source said the new investment is not only expected from within the country but several foreign companies from China, Turkey and Middle East have also shown interest in building infrastructure and mass-transit system. The seven stalled sectors, new sectors, constructing housing units, fly-overs, underpasses, avenues water supply schemes and construction of high rise buildings will be taken up in joint ventures now.

A long commercial corridor from Faizabad to Rawat will also be developed under the new rules of game. The amendments in CDA Ordinance will pave the way for all these activities, a CDA source said. Islamabad is the only Capital city of the world which could not flourish despite its beautiful landscape. Only 26 sectors were developed in fifty years instead of 56. There is shortfall of over fifty thousand housing units. It has been facing ever increasing scarcity of water for the last forty years.

The situation further deteriorated when the city swelled to unplanned manner outside the sectoral areas with land mafia exploiting lower and middle classes of this city. There is mushroom growth in Bani-Gala, Barakahu and Chak Shahzad areas. Right from I-9 to 1-16 sectors, G-12 and further, the same story is repeated.
The national capital has transformed into shanties, ghettos and slums, an old citizen of this city told this scribe.
With the new arrangement, the city is expected to get massive investment from private sector, a CDA source told this scribe.
