Imran Khan’s greatest failure

Imran Khan’s greatest failure

Pakistan has had both vicious and stupid rulers, but God save us from some combination of the two. With his homicidal statements, Imran Khan is proving to be just like the Taliban he apparently admires. At his latest rally in Bahawalpur on Friday, Khan threatened the government with a ‘million man’ march on the capital if his ‘demands’ are not met. Cashing in on the scandal caused by the Punjab police last week, he said that if the police mistreated or shot at his supporters in the march, he would “hang them with his own hands”. Accompanying this murderous threat, he listed four ‘demands’: why did Nawaz Sharif make a victory speech on the night of May 11, when election results were unconfirmed; who are the returning officers responsible to; what role did Najam Sethi play in election rigging, and last but not least, what role did former Supreme Court Chief Justice (CJ) Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry play in manipulating the results of the elections. The latter two accusations (not demands) are in fact serious enough for the named parties to respond with defamation suits against Khan since he has not provided a shred of evidence to support his claims. 
The only word left to describe Mr Khan now is ‘a petulant child’, a sad comedown from the hopeful days of last May. Evidence of his mental instability is overwhelming. It is a criminal offence to threaten to hang people, even the police! It is absurd pointing to Nawaz Sharif’s speech as proof that rigging occurred. Furthermore, in what can only be described as scraping the bottom of the barrel, Imran is also blatantly dishonest about the contents of the speech in which Sharif said, “Results are still coming in, but this much is confirmed we are the single largest party so far.” Al Jazeera reported on the night of May 11 that the PML-N was leading in 119 of 272 National Assembly seats. If confronted with this, Imran will probably say that Al Jazeera was also part of the rigging conspiracy! The fact is that by the night of May 11, the trends were relatively clear and the PML-N did not announce a victory, but expected one. Imran conceded defeat himself and congratulated Nawaz Sharif by the night of May 12. If he was so convinced his party was robbed, why did he acknowledge the results of the election or form the government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) (a question he avoids)? One could also ask Khan why on the night of May 11, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf workers from Rawalpindi were celebrating their victory in KP when they clashed with police and the incident was covered by the press. Following Imran’s logic, were his own workers part of a rigging plot? These holes in his argument more than imply that his current posture is driven by overweening ambition rather than principle.
The Khan rhetoric on display in Bahawalpur verged on the insane. Claiming that all opposition parties think the election was rigged, Khan has missed the fact that no other opposition party is with him. His threat to the police is criminal. It is not acceptable from the leader of a political party. However, Khan does not care what anyone thinks and he does not care about the country; he is convinced of his own rightness and willing to let the country suffer to prove it. He is too committed to this course of action now for any good sense to penetrate the egotism guiding his actions. The country is fighting a war, but one he does not believe in, and so he is willing to sacrifice its future to be proved right, and the devil take the facts or ground realities. Khan may take himself down, that is his right, but his current course could take innocent people down with him too, and that is unacceptable. Wake up Imran Khan, the country is in a tough situation and the need of the hour is clarity. Instead of spending on futile expensive rallies and stretching the resources of the state in protecting him and his supporters, Imran should work for the welfare of the people of KP who elected his party.  *

Attack on checkpost in Malakand kills two Levies personnel

Attack on checkpost in Malakand kills two Levies personnel



PESHAWAR: At least two Levies personnel were killed on Wednesday when unidentified gunmen opened fire at a checkpost in Malakand district, DawnNews reported.
The Levies personnel were targeted when they were performing their duty at the Khawar checkpost.
Meanwhile, two unidentified gunmen attacked the residence of Attaullah Khan Mehsud who is a member of the peace committee in Dera Ismail Khan.
According to police sources, the assailants were killed in the incident whereas Attaullah Khan escaped unhurt.
Malakand has long remained a target of militants. Last year on May 17, blasts in two mosques killed 15 people and injured several others.
Earlier, the residents of Malakand had expressed their reservations time and again about the militants’ threat from across the border where the Fazlullah-led Taliban have safe heavens in Nuristan and Kunar provinces and had launched attacks in Upper Dir, Lower Dir and in Bajaur tribal region as well.

KP plans Peshawar Metro at much higher cost than Pindi ?? | WIZARDKID Asad Umar are you ALIVE


ISLAMABAD: Contrary to the claims of Chairman PTI Imran Khan who says Rawalpindi / Islamabad Metro can be built with just Rs4 billion, the PTI-led KP government has prepared a pre-feasibility study for constructing a metro bus in Peshawar at an astounding cost of Rs51.67 billion.


This pre-feasibility study done by transport department of Planning and Development of KP government has exposed the claims of PTI leadership on the ongoing Metro Bus Project being executed by federal and Punjab governments in Rawalpindi and Islamabad with the estimated cost of Rs47 billion.

The cost of Rawalpindi / Islamabad metro bus project is less than what the KP government has estimated for the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) for Peshawar city.

The summary of pre-feasibility study conducted by the KP government, a copy of which is available with The News, reveals that fully elevated Metro Bus project in Peshawar from Chamkani to Hayatabad Complex, having length of 27 kilometer (KM), is projected to cost Rs51.67 billion.

The summary states that the study is a Pre-feasibility study that was completed in four months. The study further recommends conducting a feasibility study that will take one year to complete. The study recommends a full-fledged study.

It further states that Corridor 2 is selected as priority corridor 1 to be operated under the Bus Rapid Transit mode. The route of corridor connects Northern bypass/Motorway interchange/Chamkani on Peshawar-Rawalpindi Road/GT road, Kabul bus terminal, Daewoo bus terminal, Peshawar bus terminal, Frontier College for woman, Cantt railway station, airport road, Peshawar University, Hayatabad Medical Complex.

The study recommends that corridor 6 should also be evaluated as an alternate corridor in the feasibility study. The corridor 6 consists of Chamkani Terminus to Hayatabad Terminus via rail corridor around the airport (length 26.2 Km). The pre-feasibility study recommends Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) for priority corridor.

The study recommends two years for the construction of the corridor. The study gives three options for BRT along with their respective capital costs as follows:

i. At-grade BRT: Capital cost of Rs11.615 billion,

ii. Partially elevated BRT: Rs17.977 billion,

iii. Fully elevated BRT: Rs51.675 billion.

The rates have been calculated as per international practices cited in ADB literature.

The salient features of the Priority Corridor 2 Peshawar Rapid Transit will have route length of 27.2 Km, 32 median stations with single platform, using this service by 223,000 passengers per day.

There will be 61 articulated buses required. The system includes E-ticketing, Depot, Control Centre, CCTV and Security.

The shortcomings of the study also illustrate that the estimated Capital cost of the project for three options are based on similar practices in Pakistan and may further increase. The overall length of the elevated section is not decided; therefore the cost of BRT can increase further.

The rider ship is estimated based on traffic counts at 10 locations. A transport modeling study was not conducted due to which the estimated rider ship may be questioned. The proposed cost of the feasibility study is unreasonably high, it further states.

Change is in KPK

Rifts deepen among PTI workers in Charsadda

All politics is local: Rifts deepen among PTI workers in Charsadda

 
 

SHABQADAR:As Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) celebrates its first year as the ruling party in 

Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, dismissal of cabinet members, along with severe internal differences, has damaged its credibility.
In Charsadda, where the party only managed to grab one of six provincial assembly seats and none of the two National Assembly seats, reports have emerged of rifts among the party’s district members.
The party’s sole MPA from the district, Mohammad Arif, and veteran politician Lala Nisar’s son and PTI’s Peshawar region general secretary, Fazal Muhammad Khan, are affiliated with assembly speaker Asad Qaiser while another group of party workers is said to be loyal to Chief Minister Pervez Khattak.
Differences emerged when PTI former central vice president, Mian Mukaram Shah, was expelled from the party by district president Zahoor Khan Umarzai, said to be from Qaiser’s camp, in the beginning of this year.
According to party insiders, when PTI candidate from NA-8, Jehanzeb Khan, joined hands with former provincial president Abdul Akbar Khan, the MPA’s group began agitating against the decision. When Jehanzeb recently summoned a party meeting at Akbar’s house, corruption issues in local hospitals and municipal committee along with the MPA’s alleged land scandals came under discussion.
A group of PTI workers also posted pamphlets across the district giving details of a “Rs20 million mega corruption scandal” by MPA Arif while purchasing land for girls colleges in Shabqadar.
When supporters of the MPA learnt of the discussion, they thrashed one of Jehanzeb’s colleagues and then threatened the former NA candidate, according to a party insider.
The district president and MPA then organised a news conference against former medical superintendent of the district headquarters hospital while the party’s labour wing president, Rasheed Gul, held a similar conference against the district president and blamed him and the district health officer Dr Nawaz Khan of corruption in the Sehat ka Insaf health programme.
When asked to respond to the allegations, PTI District President Zahoor Khan Umarzai confirmed a rift in the party ranks, saying “our own workers are our enemy.”
He said Gul and Mukarram have been ousted from the party and have no say in its affairs anymore, adding MPA Muhammad Arif is a sincere party worker and those who have launched a campaign against him are not PTI workers.
However, Gul told The Express Tribune that he is still the party’s labour wing president and was appointed by the central and provincial leadership. He added the district president does not have the authority to remove him from the post. He informed that the party’s provincial general secretary Khalid Masood recently made a district parliamentary board for the local bodies elections and included Mukarram and him, among others, as members, questioning how Umarzai could then claim they are no longer part of PTI.
He termed Umarzai a closet supporter of the Qaumi Watan Party, alleging his aim was to destroy PTI in Charsadda.

پشاور: فائرنگ سے دو اہلکار

خیبر پختونخوا کے دارالحکومت پشاور میں پولیس کے مطابق جمعرات کی صبح نامعلوم افراد نے فاٹا سیکریٹیریٹ کے اکاؤنٹ افسر اور ان کے ڈرائیور کو فائرنگ کر کے ہلاک کر دیا ہے۔
پولیس اہلکاروں کا کہنا ہے کہ پشاور میں یکہ توت کے علاقے میں اکاؤنٹ افسر احسان اللہ اپنے ڈرائیور خائستہ رحمان کے ساتھ جیپ میں دفتر آ رہے تھے کہ دورہ روڈ پر نامعلوم موٹر سائیکل سواروں نے ان پر فائرنگ کر دی جس سے وہ موقعے پر ہلاک ہو گئے۔
حملہ آور واردات کے بعد فرار ہونے میں کامیاب ہو گئے۔
فاٹا سیکریٹریٹ کے ترجمان فضل اللہ نے بی بی سی کو بتایا کہ اب تک یہ معلوم نہیں ہو سکا آیا ان کی کسی سے کوئی ذاتی دشمنی تھی یا یہ پشاور میں جاری ہدف بنا کر ہلاک کرنے کے واقعات کی کڑی ہے۔
ان کا کہنا تھا کہ لواحقین کی جانب سے ایف آئی آر درج کرنے کے بعد معلوم ہو سکے گا کہ ان کے قتل کی وجوہات کیا تھیں۔
احسان اللہ فاٹا سیکریٹریٹ کے محمکمہ زراعت میں اکاؤنٹ افسر تھے۔
پشاور میں ان دنوں ٹارگٹ کلنگ کے واقعات میں اضافہ دیکھا جا رہا ہے۔
دو روز پہلے پشاور کے بڑے رہائشی علاقے حیات آباد میں نامعلوم افراد نے پولیس کے رائیڈر سکواڈ کے دو اہلکاروں پر فائرنگ کی تھی جس سے دونوں شدید زخمی ہو گئے تھے۔گذشتہ روز ان میں ایک کانسٹیبل ہسپتال میں دم توڑ گیا تھا۔
اسی طرح پشاور اور صوبے کے دیگر علاقوں میں اغوا برائے تاوان اور بھتہ خوری کی وارداتوں میں خطرناک حد تک اضافہ ہو چکا ہے۔

Raise in KP lawmakers’ pay to cost govt Rs100m

Raise in KP lawmakers’ pay to cost govt Rs100m



PESHAWAR: An impending increase in salaries, allowances and privileges of the members of provincial assembly will put Rs100 million extra burden on the low-income Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The relevant officials have told Dawn that the government is likely to table the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Salaries and Allowances of Members) Act (Amendment) Bill during the current session of the assembly.
The government has approved the house’s special committee’s report recommending increase in the salaries and allowances of the speaker, deputy speaker and MPAs.

Salaries bill to be tabled in current assembly session

The report of the seven-member committee comprising the treasury and opposition members was tabled in the house in March. It had secured unanimous approval.
The report said salaries of the provincial ministers, advisers, special assistants and parliamentary secretaries were insufficient and therefore, the government should increase them.
Justifying the proposed pay raise, the committee observed in the report that majority of the MPAs belonged to the middle class and therefore, they could not survive with the existing salaries due to the skyrocketing inflation.
The financial cost of the existing parliamentary democratic system is on the rose with the provincial government spending a huge amount of money on the salaries, allowances, privileges and other facilities of MPAs though majority of the population is living below the poverty line.
The government depends on federal receipts and foreign donors for social development schemes.
An official in the know said the daily expenditure of an assembly sitting was around Rs800,000, excluding the cost of utility services, security, entertainment and other facilities.
“The proposed raise in salaries, allowances and privileges of lawmakers will cost the government an additional Rs100 million per annum,” he said.
The official said the financial cost of the democratic dispensation was increasing day by day but the performance of the members of the provincial assembly was a letdown.
“The assembly met for 105 days in the first parliamentary year though the actual working days are 72. On average, the assembly members met for two hours in a working day to dispose of parliamentary business,” he said.
He said the scenario was the worst in the parliamentary history of the province.
They said members of the ruling coalition led by Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf didn’t take interest in the house business with majority of MPAs, ministers and parliamentary secretaries remaining absent from the session frequently.
On Friday, only 10 lawmakers from the treasury and opposition benches attended the last hour of the proceedings showing the disinterest of MPAs in the parliamentary business.
As happened during the days of last assembly, the sessions of the current house begin one and half hour late daily.
When contacted, Speaker Asad Qaisar justified the proposed pay Raise in KP lawmakers’ pay to cost govt Rs100m raise for MPAs saying performance of the current assembly was exceptional.
He said the prime duty of lawmakers was to legislate and the house had passed 28 bills during the first parliamentary year.
“It will bring about a revolution in the province if the approved laws are fully implemented,” he said.
The speaker said 90 per cent of the sitting MPAs belonged to the middle class, so they deserved a reasonable pay increase in salary.
He even said he had turned bankrupt.
According to the bill, the value of every MPA’s monthly allowances and privileges will go up to Rs204,040 from the current Rs77,600.
The house’s special committee recommended that traveling allowance (by road) should be increased from Rs3 per kilometre to Rs15 per kilometre and that basic salary of an MPA should be increased from Rs12,000 per month to Rs18,000 per month.
In addition, every MPA should be paid Rs10,000 office maintenance allowance, Rs10,000 telephone allowance, Rs10,000 sumptuary allowance, Rs4,800 utility allowance, Rs30,000 house rent, which is currently zero, Rs9,000 medical allowance, Rs15 per kilometre traveling allowance and Rs1,600 session allowance (per day).
In light of the report, basic salary of the speaker will go up from Rs30,500 per month to Rs80,000 per month.
The committee has proposed that the speaker should get Rs200,000 additional traveling allowance, which is currently nil.
Similarly, it is proposed that the basic salary of the deputy speaker should increase to Rs54,000 per month from Rs27,000 per month.
Currently, the deputy speaker is entitled to business class air travel. The committee has recommended Rs150,000 additional travel allowance for him.

خیبر پی کے اربوں کی بے ضابطگیوں کا انکشاف

ٹرانسپرنسی انٹرنیشنل نے خیبر پی کے میں تحریک انصاف کی حکومت کی جانب سے 365 مائیکرو ہائیڈل پاور پراجیکٹس کے ٹینڈر جاری کرنے میں اربوں کی بے ضابطگیوں کا انکشاف کیا ہے۔
 ٹرانسپرنسی انٹرنیشنل ایک ایسی بین الاقوامی تنظیم ہے جو کرپشن کے بارے بڑے بڑے سکینڈل عوام کے سامنے لاتی ہے۔ ماضی میں رینٹل پاور‘ لاہور میں بلاول ہائوس کی تعمیر ، این آئی سی ایل، حج سکینڈل ، پی آئی اے اور سٹیل ملز سمیت متعدد محکموں میں کرپشن کی نشاندہی کی گئی اور ٹرانسپرنسی انٹرنیشنل کی رپورٹس کو ہی لیکر تحریک انصاف کے چیئر مین عمران خان پیپلز پارٹی کی حکومت کیخلاف دھواں دار پریس کانفرنس کرتے تھے لیکن اب اسی ٹرانسپرنسی انٹرنیشنل نے صوبہ خیبر پی کے میں 365 مائیکرو ہائیڈل پاور پراجیکٹس کے ٹینڈر من پسند افراد کو دینے کا انکشاف کیا ہے۔ عمران خان کرپشن کے تدارک‘ شفافیت اور قانون کی حکمرانی کی باتیں کرتے ہیں اب وہ اس میں مداخلت کیوں نہیں کر رہے، ٹرانسپرنسی اٹرنیشنل پاکستان کے چیئر مین سہیل ظفر نے وزیراعلیٰ خیبر پی کے کو خط بھی لکھا ہے اسکے باوجود خیبر پی کے حکومت نے اس پر نوٹس نہیں لیا ۔کیا یہ کرپشن نہیں؟ عمران خان نے کرپشن کے الزامات پر آفتاب شیر پائو کی جماعت کے وزراء کو حکومت سے نکالا تھا لیکن اب وہ اس کرپشن اور اقربا پروری پر خاموش ہیں۔ کیااربوں روپے کی بے ضابطگیاں کرپشن نہیں؟ عمران خان اپنی اکثر پریس کانفرنسوں میں حضرت فاطمۃ الذھرا کے واقعے کا ذکر کرتے ہیں لیکن آج وہ اپنے قریبی رفقاء کی اس کرپشن پر خاموشی اختیارکرکے اقربا پروری کی ایک بد ترین مثال قائم کر رہے ہیں۔ عمران خان صاحب 4حلقوں میں دھاندلی پر عوام کو اکسا رہے ہیں لیکن دوسری طرف انکی ناک کے نیچے اربوں روپے کی کرپشن ہورہی ہے۔ عمران خان دوسروں پر اعتراض کرنے سے پہلے اپنے گھر کا قبلہ بھی درست کریں اور ٹرانسپرنسی انٹرنیشنل کی رپورٹ پر ایکشن لیں۔
