The cost of living

General Musharraf's junta has increased price of virtually everything. Milk, flour, petrol and gas have become terribly expensive. The cost of electricity, telecommunications and air fares are ridiculously high. This military dictatorship has become intolerable - the criminal increase in price of things should not go unpunished.
It is obvious the military does not care what anyone thinks. It imagines public opinion is of no consequence. But when public opinion turns into a mass uprising it will be impossible to control and manage. The military officers will shed the uniforms and hide their ranks and pretend they have no association with the military.
Military rule always has will always mean absolute corruption. Military dictators have absolute power and that means they are absolutely corrupt. They do not represent anyone except the members of their junta. The present democracy is a facade - Shaukat Aziz imported from abroad was finance mininster now he is prime minister. He has not been legally elected - he has been appointed by General 'president' Musharraf - Shaukat Aziz is subsidising the world tour of General Musharraf and of all the appointed (not elected) ministers.
The first priority of such regimes is how much they can travel the world. The problems of the country are the least of their concerns. Shaukat Aziz in order to purchase bullet proof cars is increasing prices of everyday commodities. The price of meat is excessive. A forgeign company was offering meat at at one hundreth of the local price, but it was not allowed to enter the market.
People spend 85 per cent of their income on food,utilities and rent - with the remaining 15 per cent they have to pay for education of their children. The hatred of the military is rising by the day. People are fed up of unrepresentative leadership. Tax money is lining the pockets of the military officers and civil servants and the fake democratic government.
Before the break up of the country and the formation of Bangladesh - shattered the image of the milstary - it showed it was an incompetent and unreliable force. Bangladesh was the result of General (Field Marshal) Ayub Khan who wanted to control everything and exploit everything. The people of former East Pakistan were fed up and with the help of the Indian armed forces the military rule was brought to a sudden end. The number of soldiers who were beheaded is uncounted a real coup de tat.
General Musharraf is falling in the footsteps of General Ayub Khan, he has started the final destruction of Pakistan, because of his unashamed corruption. He doces not care what anyone thinks. He is ruthless and treacherous person not only him but every member of his junta and the people who are running the fake democratic government.

The blessed and the cursed

The only way to get a really grand job is to be in the right place at the right time. Hardwork, talent, ability and intelligence means nothing. All that you learnt at you university or college is worthless. Consider a man working his butt off for years in a company, suddenly finds out the companies boss has been jailed for not paying taxes. The company winds up and the hardworking man ends on the street. He put in his life in the company – now his pension has gone and he is an old man with no chance getting another job. Lots of people try to be become movie stars end up they are too ugly, their voice is terrible and they just simply stupid – it is all matter of being bad luck. Others regardless of how they look get great part in some movie and end up acting in a film which makes lots of money. A good luck also accounts for the fact that some people can get away with mass murder and never be held accountable for their crimes and some one get just kill one person and be jailed for life ...

Dr Salman Shah is insane

The price of petrol has been increased 7 times and the country's Finance Adviser says it will not affect the economy. I do not know about the economy but I am paying more and more for petrol and my salary has not increased, it is not enough one day petrol will eventually become as expensive as gold or more. Its people like Dr. Salman Shah who do not announce anything during the budget announcement, later start telling the people that everything is going to be more expensive later at the same time say it will not make any difference to the economy. Dr. Salman Shah says this because he does not have to pay for the petrol of his limousine - it is free for him Why should he not drive around in his limousine and pay for petrol from his own pocket instead on relying on the government. The day he starts doing that he will realise what he has done, he will scream. The price of petrol is high because it has 300 per cent taxes on it. If those taxes are removed the petrol would be m...

Mysterious kidnappings

Young students in their twenties are being kidnapped from Karachi and other cities. Though reports about these are kept secret, but with the frequency they are taking place, there is bound to be a leak  and people eventually get to know about this. But the question is who responsible and why is it happening. There are no clear answers. But the people who get away by committing such crimes are obviously are very highly placed, they are virtually above the law. No one can arrest them, even though the evidence is overwhelmingly against them. This is a new way to terrorise the people, it simply boils down to this. If the police and other law enforcement organisations are unable to prevent crime, the people would be forced to take up arms against those who murder, kidnap and steal. Whatever the reasons for the kidnapping, is irrelevant, the people protecting the kidnappers will face the wrath of the people. No court, no judge is going to prosecute these criminals. There is a limit t...
