Pakistan is on a diet plan as part of the international conspiracy like Israelis put Gaza on a diet? Are the policies of the current regime the continuation of previous government which was criminally negligent in ignoring the energy needs of the country? Well they have mortgaged Pakistan even more and now making emotional appeals to the people to send foreign exchange which they would loot again? In this economic crisis instead of reducing the public spending President Zardari enlarged his cabinet close to 140? One doesn’t need hammers and cranes to destroy a country some times by just hiring or planting a president or a prime minister?

Few years ago a senior security analyst said, ‘shortage of electricity and energy crisis is linked to the defense and sovereignty of the country. It is linked to put Pakistan on a diet plan’. Current regime of President Zardari is following exactly the prescribed diet plan: For example when they took over Pakistan’s debt was approximately $48 -$50 billion which could be easily managed but current government worked on a treacherous plan of not approaching the two most friendly nations of Pakistan China and Saudi Arabia and put Pakistan under this so called ‘friends of Pakistan’ diet plan’?

Chinese might be agreed to invest in small projects and even help in other ways but obviously might not be able to make Swiss bank transfers or kick backs etc. “Pakistanis wealth in foreign banks is estimated over $200 billion. Only 45 Pakistanis have deposited $23 billions in foreign banks. “Zardari’s financial advisor Mr Tareen, Shahid Javeed Burki, Shaukat Aziz, Salman Shah, Mian Mohammad Somro are the pimps of the international financial mafia and monitors of the diet plan”, said an analyst. General Musharaf got upset when I told him in London that your financial wizards Shaukat Aziz and Salman Shah have made a mess in Pakistan and will leave soon. Pakistanis are genetically very talented people keeping in view the rich heritage of ancient civilizations of Harapa, Taxila and Mahnjohdoro. Surely they must have used commonsense more frequently than current rulers?

Now question is should Pakistan be handed over to approximately three thousand predominantly criminal elite, some of them own foreign citizenships who are following Pakistan’s diet plan? This elite including President don’t even have their families in Pakistan. The elite have distanced themselves from more than 98% poor population in leafy and exclusive suburbs of posh residential towns and societies miles away.

‘The New Rich’ are the major security threat to Pakistan because people of Pakistan are very well aware with rich list before and after 1947. The miraculous growth in the wealth of politicians, generals, and civil servants is mind blowing? Sharfis who were making water pumps in 1960s and Zardari’s were selling cinema tickets but now both have become billionaires in few years.

Developing countries should raise the issue of transparency and opening up of the ‘Swiss Banking System’ in the United Nations. It is illegal, unfair, and immoral to provide safe heavens to the looted assets and black money of the developing countries in a country which is a member of the international community or so called tax free Islands?

Benazir Bhutto was very keen to reform the armed forces and intelligence services. Once she said to me, ‘when a (Pakistani) cadet sees photos of Generals Ayub Khan, Yahyah Khan, Zia ul Haq and Pervez Musharaf in the academy, he must be thinking if they can do it so can I’? She had a plan to reform the armed forces? Unfortunately her sources of information were mostly Indians or Israelis who sees armed forces as a real threat to them? But they might have convinced her that armed forces are threat to her?

People who had certain religious differences with the current ruling minority are being eliminated in targeted killings not by them directly but by state security or passed on to Americans as part of the strategy, names of certain Sunni elements have been passed on chits reportedly? The recent killing of religious scholar in interior Sind seems part of that strategy? Settling scores by third parties? Pakistan should not become a battle ground?

Fanning of seatrain violence is part of the diet plan otherwise what could be the reason of not appointing a permanent ambassador in Saudi Arabia for many months and accepting overpriced tariffs on gas with Iran? It is a dangerous course of action if there is a secret government in Pakistan, muddling with the transfers and appointments of police, security and district management’s officers? Over exposure of a minority is dangerous trend and makes it vulnerable? The perception of the current Shia dominated regime in an over 90% Sunni Pakistan is seen as American puppet in Tehran and secret ally and collaborator of Shia dominated Iran in the Sunni world. This perception is harming and alienating Pakistan from its friends? May be they should slow down in minority appointments on key posts? Pakistan is predominantly supported by Saudi Arabia and Gulf States where millions of Pakistanis are working and sending foreign exchange.

After the unfortunate demise of Ms Bhutto and presence of Mr Zardari in the presidency is a sign of hope for the criminals, mafia gangsters, protectors and backers of money launderers, gold smugglers, land mafias, wheat mafia and sugar mafia? ‘Criminals and murderers in prisons must be thinking If he can get away with it so can we,’ His presence in the President House gave courage and confidence to the elite criminal mafia gangs?

If so called friends of Pakistan are sincere they would have returned the looted money back to Pakistan and not get into legal jargons? In the past 18 months billions have been transferred outside Pakistan by elite mafia.

Now question is should Pakistan be handed over to approximately three thousand predominantly criminal elite, some of them own foreign citizenships who are following Pakistan’s diet plan? This elite including President don’t even have their families in Pakistan. The elite have distanced themselves from more than 98% poor population in leafy and exclusive suburbs of posh residential towns and societies miles away.

If the diet plan keep going with the pace as is now there is a high possibility that these leafy locations become a target of angry and hungry people keeping in view the issuing of arms licenses and access to heavy arms.

It seems soon there will be no place to hide for ‘foreign sponsored dieticians’ because clock is ticking for the 3000 listed corrupt elite of Pakistan and no one knows what monster is attached with it?

Dr Shahid Qureshi seems to have a deep understanding of the financial situation in Pakistan sitting in his plush office in U.K , Pakistan is going through a bad phase and it seems that everyone out there have suddenly become authorities and subject matter expert on Pakistan.
 
.
As far as i know Dr Shahid he is a very knowledgeable man and all his write ups carry some detailed information and analysis.

And he is right you see the current government had banked on friends of Pakistan while presenting the budget. And they said the deficit would be narrowed with money from friends of Pakistan but at the end we again were told that zardari and co was going to get extra loan from IMF.

If this is true then how can the government banks on getting fund from friends from Pakistan to cover the deficit , i am no financial expert so i dont have much knowledge about that but the economy was improving when Musharraf was there and how come suddenly there is such a huge problem , is it because of the ongoing war that it is taking a huge toll on the finances or there are some collective reasons for that.

War had nothing to do with the current state of the economy, it is due to the current policies of the government which is bent on destroying Pakistan. The tactic of west to destroy any nation is to bring in puppet or incompetent leadership which makes the things worse as time passes. There was no electricity shortage, rather around 2005 we were even thinking to export electricity to nearby countries, but the moment this government came, huge electricity shortages commenced. Inflation sky rocketed, debt rose many folds, dollar lost nearly half of its value, just in one year time frame.
The bad luck of Pakistan can be seen from this, that for one & a half year we did not had a proper minister for interior nor a minister for finance, both hugely important ministries being run by advisers, they just became ministers that also after being made senators, as they are not publicly elected representatives. And one of them is a huge corrupt & characterless personality.

It is the bad luck of our nation that we let such big morons to run our country who are just busy in minting money as much as they can. PA has been kept busy in COIN operations so that their attention is diverted from the huge mismanagement & corruption being done by the current leadership who are in no way true pakistani's, they have been installed to weaken Pakistan, and i hope and pray that PA soon takes action and kicks these basstards out and bring some honest people. The work done by Musharaf in 9 years has been destroyed by these morons in just one year.

Mig i have limited knowledge about the financial matters but the budget was with deficit of Rs. 722.5 billion it was stated that 4.9 percent of the GDP - would be met through external borrowings of Rs 264.9 billion and domestic borrowings of Rs. 457.6 billion.

The friends of Pakistan pledged Rs 1.2 billion and the govt was banking on that to curtail the deficit besides Rs 500 million form World Bank but at the end we were told that now we are going ask WB for more.
 
.
I agree with the senior member and with Dr Shahid saaab. I by myself know a person who looted billions and he came back to pk after 13 years spending in US, although previous regime kept on asking US govt. to hand him over but because of unlimited money and resources and being a close Allie of Bhutto group he get US nationality which was a big hurdle to get him back.

Trash article, full of speculation and poison.

Pakistanis are genetically very talented people keeping in view the rich heritage of ancient civilizations of Harapa, Taxila and Mahnjohdoro. Surely they must have used commonsense more frequently than current rulers?

Apparently those who have been in power in Pakistan were either not Pakistani or did not share the "talent" gene.

Pakistan remains poor because it's politicians push "socialist, populist" economics for it's people and keep capitalist, free market policies for themselves. A pakistan with free market policies would not only be a more liberal Pakistan but a more prosperous Pakistan. Why blame the rich for being rich, we all would want ot be more like them, but for ordinary Pakistanis we can always sell them that it is "good" to distribute poverty.
