[yesboss]

Imran would make a perfect peace time prime minister. Nothing better than a philanthropist to nurture the country back to prosperity after war.

Right now he is not the right man to lead, we need tough decision makers who understand the rigors of geopolitics.

Pakistan has never been in peace, we have fought a war in almost every decade since our creation, with enemies much bigger in strength to us.

“Okay, enough beating about the bush, I want to become the prime minister right about now,” Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said Friday, evidently running out of threats against the federal government. “I will dissolve the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assembly, the National Assembly, the Lok Sabha, the US congress and anything and everything that can be dissolved,” the PTI leader told Khabaristan Today. According to reports Pakistan Prime Minister Dr Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif has advised Khan to “dissolve Rooh Afzah in water and drink it”

Khan told our correspondent that he had decisive proof that last year’s elections were rigged. “The biggest proof that the elections were rigged is that Imran Khan is not the prime minister of Pakistan right now,” Imran Khan said habitually preferring to use his name instead of the more customary first person pronoun. “Anything that does not lead to my victory is unfair. I am registering complaints of rigging in all cricket world cups before 1992 and all recent ‘Sexiest Asian Man on the Planet’ awards,” Khan said. “I mean Ali Zafar? Come on!” he added, now fuming with rage.


The PTI chief has presented a list of demands for the prime minister, which need to be accepted within a month or he will conjure his Tsunami. “I want to be made the prime minister. I want myself and Tahirul Qadri to be declared revolutionaries. I want Geo to be banned. I want to be declared the sexiest man in Asia. I want Younis Khan to bat at number 3. I want everyone to negotiate with the Taliban. I want to…” the PTI chief went on for another hour and 27 minutes listing his demands.

“Mian sahib, make me prime minister or I will Tsunami you,” was Khan’s message for the prime minister.

What non-sense. When is he going to speak about Taliban and terrorists oppression in his province? Israel? Palestine? Get over it. I don't give a shyt. Think about Pakistan. Not Palestine. The Palestinians were given enough concessions and deals, and they torpedoed all of them because of the incompetent fool, Yasser Arafat, who they thought was their leader. Well, the Palestinians are themselves to blame for their misery today.

They have supported Army operation against TTP, what more you want?

 

[Jzaib]

Even the patwaris are acting neverous ..coming up with all the BS ...

 

[Leader]

Stole my words, I was a PTI fan before elections, but all this drama is getting too much.



Until PTI fixes itself, proves itself and stops making stupid moves I won't support them as I did.

do tell me next time you get robbed... I will call you dramabaz

The problem is the PTI mindset itself. It offered something new apart from the usual PML-N Punjabi party and PPP sindhi party, it offered a new hope. Imran Khan should have taken advantage of that. But he took the votes, got in power and now he brings out the real PTI, PTI which itself doesn't know what it wants to do. He was probably expecting to the be the PM of Pakistan, good heaven's sake he didn't become one. He was voted in majority in KPK, he has 4 more years, change the things on the ground there and then dream of becoming the PM. If he can't solve problems in his own province, no body from Punjab or Sindh is goting to give him any leverage.

 

[Jungibaaz]

I don't hold stupid nonsense loyalties to any party. Don't think too highly of your political views if that's the case. I supported them back then, but not so much anymore.

Well said. PTI showed great promise back then, but I don't see it anymore. They seem confused and indecisive.
Oh and something I figured out a long time ago, IK won't ever get to become PM, trust me on that.

 

[dravidianhero]

and yahoodi khan, and alot more names... I hear I hear...

Imran khan,the man who was a ray of hope for many Pakistanis on this forum just a year ago,has turned into a villain for those very Pakistanis itself.with his indecisive and timid nature he lost all the respect.

So by this logic Pakistanis that suffered by the hands of dictators and disciplined GHQ jernails (discipline as $$$ were coming)....Musharaf that took this nation to war SAYING THAT IS THE BEST SOLUTION - But his solution killed 50K people. Didn't build any dams. Didn't clean the system...Pakistanis you are at fault. Tsunami towards real estate thugs and their commission khor jernails that created the likes of NS.

 

[FaujHistorian]

Fourteenth of August would be the true " Independence Day ".

Independence from the tyranny of NOORA MAFIA....

yeap,. And Dependence day on Sarkari Babu aka bureaucrat mafia.

What a choice of replacement.

Especially if Army walas join the baboos.

this is exactly how political forces in the history of Pakistan have butchered their own necks.

UTurn Khan is just the new revolutionary on the block. That's all.

So by this logic Pakistanis that suffered by the hands of dictators and disciplined GHQ jernails (discipline as $$$ were coming)....Musharaf that took this nation to war SAYING THAT IS THE BEST SOLUTION - But his solution killed 50K people.

Mush was terrible.

However do not blame him for Pak policies in post 9/11 Afghanistan.

Any elected government would have done the same. Just read a bit of "Recent" history of Afghanistan and FATA.

Thank you.

Grand Father of all Scams
As recd.

The Sharif brothers and their closest confidante Khawaja Mohd Asif are all set to squander away an astronomical sum of 3 Billion Us Dollars.which will put to shame all scammers in the past such as Mr 10 Percent and his cronies…All other scandals such as Swiss accounts OGRA Hajj Ephedrine scams will be dwarfed if the script is executed.
The series of China visits by Sharif Brothers and their children, Khawaja Asif and a Lahore based tycoon ,are nothing but part of the grand design of the mega of the mega scams…
The Sharif brothers have struck deal with Some Chinese coal power companies to inflate the officially notified tariff and capital cost of power projects by a whopping 3 Billion dollars to accommodate their kick backs. The 6600 MW Gaddani coal power park and planned 6600 MW coal power projects are the crux of the deal combining into a total of 13200 MW. The main architect of the scam is Khawaja Mohd Asif who interestingly had challenged the rental power plants in Supreme court and a favorite of former CJP Mr Iftikhar Chaudhry.
He is actively assisted in this wheeling dealing by Salman Shehbaz younger son of Punjab CM and active participant in bilateral govt dialogues between Govt of Pakistan and China despite the fact that he does not hold any public office.
Sharif brothers who have a penchant for flouting rules or bending them to pave way for their grandiose corruption have established a nexus with Acting Secretary Water and Power Mr Saifulla Chattha, Ms Nargis Sethi CEO of Gaddani Power Park on one hand and looking after all important Economic Affairs Division. This division is responsible for approval of all financing agreements with Chinese companies and export credit agencies such as EXIM Bank, China Development Bank etc .
Mr Fawad Hasan Addl Secretary is lead person on behalf of PM Sectt for whiplashing non compliant officials. The final actor in the script is Kh Mohd Naeem present acting Chairman NEPRA and a brother in law of
Khawaja Mohd Asif and father of PML N woman MNA Shaza Fatima.

THE PLAN The plan of this scam has NEPRA as the main instrument. Since it is power sector regulator therefore it has its mandate to determine power tariff, key benchmarks such as capital cost of power projects, plant efficiency, issuance of tariff and other critical standards which have key influence on level of consumer prices and consequently corrupt practices. The equation of corruption has two critical variables namely Capital cost and consequently Tariff. Higher the capital cost the more the consumer has to pay over the term of agreement.(as simple as that…these Sharif Brothers and Khawaja will claim that it is still cheaper than Oil based costs BUT the fact remains that it is much more expensive than it should be)

The key to Sharif brothers plan is in capital cost of coal power projects. And the citizens of Pakistan will bear the brunt of this corruption in coming years.
The road to achieve this has been paved by Khawaja Mohd Asif who has moved a summary to NEPRA through his secretary Water and Power to reopen the upfront TARIFF already determined by NEPRA in JUNE 2013after a very lengthy process of consultation with stake holders and public hearings and formally notified in Sept 2013. Any one including Ministry of Water and Power could have represented against determination of NEPRA within fifteen days, which have long expired. The Secretary has asked NEPRA to condone the 15 day period by relaxing Section 31 of NEPRA Act. NEPRA instead of out rightly rejecting this illegal demand has fixed the case for public hearing.

The already notified NEPRA tariff and capital cost are very generous and already 25% above the internationally available data on capital cost. This NEPRA claims was done to attract investors for a period of 6 years ending 2019.In fact foul play was also done in Sept 2013 when capital costs for a 600 MW coal power plant were increased from 585 million dollars to 1.25 billion US Dollars. The tariffs notified in Sept 2013 for plants based on imported coal were……..cents per unit.
Now in collusion with Chinese companies the Sharif brothers cleverly playing Energy and China cards are clamoring to get these costs heavily increased and rules set aside to skim off 3 billion dollars over and above NEPRA determined price and 6 billion dollars over and above international bench marks.

The Ministry of Water and Power are hell bent to accomplish following goals


• To increase the capital cost by another 29% from 1.25 Million Dollars per Mega Watt to 1.5 to 1.7 Million Dollars per Mega Watt for 600 and 200 MW plants respectively.
• To increase tariff from the notified tariff by 41% to 65 paisa per unit for 600 MW plant and 40 % to 60 paisa per unit.
• To reduce plant efficiency factor for 600 and 1000 MW plants from approved 42% to 39 %
• To change PPRA rules to exempt Chinese companies from Procurement procedures and competition
• To Delete two (660x2) coal power projects At Gaddani from the Govt execution list and also hand them to private sector on the pretext of shortage of govt funds. In reality the reason is that if these projects are implemented by govt then it will have to follow PPRA Rules and announce competitive bidding which will expose real costs of these projects.
INTERNATIONAL EXAMPLES of COSTS
In January 2014, South Korea’s state utility KOSEP executed an agreement with an Indian company Jinbhuvish Power Generation to set up a 600 MW coal power plant in Yavatmal,Maharashtra a cost of 585 Million US Dollars translating into 0.91 Million US Dollars per MW .

• Similarly The Indian Government owned NTPC is setting up indigenous coal based (more expensive compared to imported coal due to mining costs) ……2640 MW plant in Bundelkhand Madhya Pardesh consisting of 4 Units ( 660 x4) at a cost of 2.9 billion US Dollars translating into 1.09 Million dollars per MW. It is well in knowledge of Mr Shehbaz Sharif but they are notorious for inflating project costs to skim off money. Examples are Metro project in Lahore and now in Rawalpindi at grossly inflated prices.

THE MATH of Corruption
Taking into account the planed implementation of a total of 13200 MW coal based power projects for which MOUs have already been executed ,the total amount of money to be looted is 13200x 0.25 million US Dollars translates to a very conservative 3.3 Billion US Dollars. In reality Chinese companies stand to make another extra 3 BILLION DOLARS.

The scheme so cleverly designed will enable the Chinese companies to set up the plants for free without putting a dollar of their own. The method is simple: Given the 75:25 ratio of Debt and Equity for these projects,

• the Chinese companies will put in 25 percent equity ( already over priced by 25% over and above world prices)
• and 75% bank loans sovereign guaranteed by Govt of Pakistan.
• The interest cost will be recovered from consumers.
• So 25 % being the kick back, the Chinese companies will be setting up the plant for free.
• Whereas Sharifs and Khawaja will be skimming the remaining 3+ Billion dollars

THE WAY FORWARD
To save the nation from this mother of all corruption it is imperative to launch a nationwide campaign through media, patriotic legislators politicians, professionals and also Supreme Court to demand an independent estimation of actual costs..otherwise Sharif Brothers and Khawaja Asif will again plunder national wealth.
NAB chairman is sleeping over these cases and harassing government officials
