Prime

Sindh's problems
rubbing salt in injuries of Sindhis.
Plz wait, Report soon to appear - editor.
Sindh |
KARACHI, SINDH:
[SindhWeek.Com Report]
Resources-wise Sindh is
rich but its people are very poor.
According to some international
organizations, 80 per cent people of
Sindh are compelled to live lives
much much below the international
recognized dateline of poverty. |
Presently Sindh is meeting the 75 per cent gas
requirement of the country whereas 62 per cent
of oil but Islamabad rulers in connivance with
"Punjab-backed Establishment" through staging
various conspiracies
are depriving Sindh of
direct benefits of its natural resources.
The people of Sindh are continuously making hue
and cry to get their due share but "Punjab
-backed Establishment" is depriving people of
Sindh benefit of their natural resources as they
had done in case of Balochistan
(11c0291).

The global warming havoc but Pakistan is
sleeping |
 |
KARACHI, SINDH: [SindhWeek.Com
Report] The Business recorder,
Karachi has printed a letter to
the editor headlined: "The
global warming havoc" (Feb 26,
2011)
by Khalilur Rahman Rajai,
Karachi which reads as
under: |
"This
refers to various articles and letters
published in dailies and periodicals in
recent time. Fears of
destruction owing
to the global warming seem quite
logical. However, the question comes to
mind that humankind has faced various
kinds of natural disaster before the
industrial revolution and consequent
atmospheric changes, what were the
factors contributing then.
Many natural disasters have been referred to
by Al-Quran. I think scientists have to
investigate the reasons
for all the historic
natural disasters. One should not ignore the
other factors causing the geographical
turmoils and drowning of the grand
civilisations. A complete account of the
factors causing natural disasters
may
provide a chance to possibly avert them by
rectifying past mistakes."

ISLAMABAD, PAK: [SindhWeek.Com Report] Pakistan's minister for
Minorities Affairs Shahbaz
Bhatti
was
shot dead by by unknown persons
on March 02, 2011 in Islamabad.
After meeting with his
mother, he was on his way to attend the cabinet

Some people compelled him to get of his car and shot him. 25
bullets hit his body.
He was receiving threats
of life
since long. At the time of his
death, no police escort was with
him.
On hearing the sad news, Prime Minister said he does not want to
continue his office. Nevertheless, his
cabinet minister pursued him not to do so. It may be pointed out
the Governor of Punjab Salman Taseer
was also shot dead at Islamabad by his gunman about two months
back
(11c02go/jg).

Pak-India Water war? |

WASHINGTON, DC, USA: [SindhWeek.Com
Report]
The Indus Water
Treaty may fail
to avert water
wars between
India and
Pakistan, warns
a US Senate
report released
on Tuesday (Feb
22, 2011)
acknowledging
dams India is
building in

"This report highlights how water security is
vital in achieving our foreign policy and

cooperation and long-term stability," said
Senator John
Kerry, chairman of the US Senate Foreign
Relations Committee while releasing the report.
The
report warns: "Studies show that no single dam
along the waters controlled by the Indus Waters

will affects Pakistan's access to water, (but)
the cumulative effect of these could give India
the ability to store India the ability to store

"Please wear
decent clothes" |
DUBAI, UAE:
[SindhWeek.Com
Report] An
English daily
Dawn has printed
a letter to the
editor
headlined
"please wear
decent clothes"
(March 02, 2011)
that reads as
under;
"THE heading
above is not
directed at
anybody but it
was included as
a message among
a variety of
product
advertisements
being run on the
electronic board
in the lounge of
the City Centre
Mall in Dubai
which I happened
to visit
recently. One
message also
read “It is
prayer time” and
remained on
screen
for a reasonable
duration.
There must have
been visitors in
Dubai who wore
disrespectful
clothes in
public places;
therefore, they
needed to be
corrected in a
polite way. I
was waiting for
my transport
when it
triggered a
train of
thoughts
that
meaningful
messages could
be a way to
educate the
people.
Competitive
market giants
carry out a lot
of research and
spend a huge
amount on ads to
attract
customers
for
their products.
However,
sometimes it
seems that they
just want to
thrust their
will on
potential
customers in a
way which causes
frustration and
annoyance among
the latter.
For example
an ad will
occupy half of
the front page
in the print
media or a
commercial break
will suddenly
appear out of
nowhere when the
speaker is about
to conclude
his/her final
point during
popular talk
shows
on TV.
Good quality
products need to
be properly
advertised as
the customer
does not always
reaches them on
his/her own, and
sometimes it
takes days to
find a certain
commodity.
Somebody
introduced
quality
confectionary to
me — made in
Karachi — but I
was unable to
get it for
several days due
to its confused
location.
However, the
ads industry
along with
product
promotion,
should also coin
messages
commensurate
with
moral,
social,
spiritual and
national values
of society;
disseminate it
with modern
tools, and place
such
gadgets at
railway
stations,
airports, banks,
academic
institutions,
shopping venues,
etc, for the
benefit of
the
general public.
The print and
electronic media
should spare
some space and
prime time,
respectively, to
reflect public
service messages
along with
commercials.
Some sample
messages,
subject to
rephrasing, can
be as follows:Please be
regular in
offering your
prayers.
Please behave
like a
responsible
citizen.
Cleanliness
is next to
Godliness.
Please do not
be rude with
people you come
across.
Please be
considerate
towards weak and
elderly people.
Please be
respectful
towards your
parents and
teachers.
Please be
vigilant while
meeting
strangers.
Please
observe utmost
care while
driving/crossing
the road.
Kindly
observe modest
living.
Black
marketers are a
menace to
society.
Food
adulteration is
a crime and
leads to death.
Notify all such
criminals to the
police.
Please wear
decent clothes.
Please don’t
honk as it
causes noise
pollution which
affects your
hearing and
health.
Please don’t
waste food.
Please be
courageous if
you witness a
crime and report
immediately to
the police.
Please be
courageous if
you witness an
accident, call
for help
immediately and
notify the
authorities
concerned. SIKANDAR ALI

a letter
to the
editor
headlined
"An
advice
to
Shamsul
Mulk" by
M Khan

Karachi
(March

that
reads as
under; |
|
"Former WAPDA
chairman Shamsul Mulk belongs to our beautiful
province Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). Unfortunately,
at the age of 80, he is still working against
the interests of three out of four provinces
particularly his own province KP on water issue.
He himself is known as dam contractor in Punjab
and his financial interests are attached with
this profession. Therefore, he has become
staunch supporter of controversial Kalabagh dam
(KBD) in Punjab because if KBD is built, he
would be financially benefited in the shape of
getting numerous contracts of the dam for his
‘loyalty’.
Nonetheless, history shows such people remained
finally losers for the simple reason after their
death, no
one remember them in good words in their own
native province whereas people of another
province for
whom he served its vested interests, also forget
them as after their death, such persons remained
of no
use for them. In Sindh also, we have examples of
late A. K. Brohi - an international jurist and
politicians
Ayub Khuhro and Pir Illahi Bux (both ex-chief
ministers of Sindh) and Pir Ali Mohammad Rashdi
ex-minister, politician and writer. In brief,
history does not forgive such people. I think
there is still time, Mr Mulk should repent on his anti-KP stand and must get apology from
the people of his own province (KP) besides Sindh
and Balochistan for harming
their national interests on water issue."

Controversial Sindh Assembly bill for
converting amenities plots may prove
disaster for citizens, future
generations |
S A |
KARACHI, SINDH: [SindhWeek.Com Report]
The
Institution of Engineers Pakistan (IEP)
said on
(Feb 28) that the proposed ‘Sindh
Protection and Prohibition of Amenity
Plots Bill, 2009, if passed,
would be
disastrous for the citizens and the
future generations. |
In a
statement issued on Monday, Engineer
Ayaz stated that most areas of Karachi
that were well-planned
by competent town planners over the
initial 35 years of the country, are
being systematically destroyed by
blatant abuse and violation of building
and town-planning laws.
Amenity plots - meant for the good of
common public - instead of being left
open for parks, schools,
graveyards, mosques, hospitals and
playgrounds, are being progressively
decimated by illegal construction
of residential and commercial
structures.
The
IEP recommended that instead of
encroaching on existing open spaces, all
such unlawful construction
be demolished and new open spaces be
created to cater to the exploding
population. The Sindh Assembly members
should know that their actions or
inaction over the years have affected
the quality of life of
everyone but more
of the deprived members of the society,
who have limited access to civic,
medical or recreational facilities, the IEP said.
“We
therefore demand from our provincial
legislators to permanently remove the
Bill No 7 from the docket
of the Sindh Assembly and have mercy on
the cities of Sindh and its residents”
the statement added. The
lEP works to improve the environment in
cities by involving the local
universities to provide technical
support
to the civic and government agencies.
The most important action required
immediately is to regulate all new
initiatives that adversely affect the
environment

President Asif Ali Zardari has appointed
his old class
fellow of
Petaro Cadet College namely
Captain Nadim Yousfzai as new Managing Director

his office

Altaf again wants "revolution" with
support of Generals |
Altaf |
KARACHI, SINDH: [SindhWeek.Com
Report]
MQM
chief Altaf Hussain on Monday (Feb 28)
again
requested
army generals to support the people
bring a revolution in the country.
Addressing a huge gathering of activists
and office-bearers of the MQM Labour
Division at Lal Qila ground Azizabad on |
the occasion of the 24th
foundation day of the Labour Division,
he said that he was subjected to
ridicule
when he spoke about a
revolution in the country and now
everybody is chanting slogans of
revolution.
Hussain said that a report has been
published in a US newspaper Boston Globe
that Pakistan is next in
line for public
uprising. The newspaper said that the US
has always been preoccupied with the
power
elite of Pakistan with utter
disregard to the plight of the common
people.
The
US continued to lend support to the
power elite in the country and felt
comfortable in working with the
dictators ignoring the realities in
Pakistan. “I want to tell patriotic
generals that the people of Pakistan
need
your help. They always ask as to what I
mean by the term patriotic generals.
If
all generals are patriotic then why do
we hear about bringing some generals to
trial? A patriotic general
will be he, who would support the people
of Pakistan and come to their help. I
refuse to call those generals
who tore the country apart and plundered
its wealth as patriotic generals,” he
said

Punjab's IRSA chairman Rao
Irshad becomes mad in
hatred; Calls opponents of
Kalabagh dam Indian Agents |
 |
KARACHI, SINDH: [SindhWeek.Com
Report] A leading business
English daily " The Business Recorder"
has
printed a letter to the editor headlined: "Water
issue in Pakistan" (Feb 22, 1011) by Mohammad
Khan Sial, Karachi that reads as under; |
"LETTER (February 22, 2011)
: Irsa chairman Rao Irshad, who originally belongs to Punjab,
in a recent
meeting at Karachi has labelled opponents of the controversial
Kalabagh dam
(KBD) as "Indian Agents". He
also tried to misguide the participants by
claiming: "Had the
Kalabagh dam been in place, devastation of
flood could have been averted".
He also claimed
that if the KBD is built, Sindh would get more quantity of
water but what
Punjab would get,
he remained mum.
It appears some people belonging to one province are not ready to learn from
the lessons of
history. In the
past such people labelled the people of East Pakistan (now
Bangladesh) as
foreign agents and consequently
the 'majority' (56 percent of population)
got independence from
the 'minority' (44 per cent).
Now the same game, with little amendment, is being played in present
Pakistan. Three out of
four elected provincial assemblies have already passed about 10 resolutions
against the
construction the controversial
of
KBD in Punjab. Therefore, efforts are
being made to prove the
people of three out of
four provinces as "foreign agents".
Non-implementation of "Water Accord - 1991" after 20 years of its signing,
has resulted in
unnatural death
of the Indus delta - the sixth largest in the world with
environmental destruction
and sea intrusion inundating
2.6 million acres of land in two districts of
Sindh. Nonetheless, 2.7
million people living between Kotri and
Arabian Sea are dying from hunger
and thirst for
non-release of the agreed quantity of water as stated in
the "Water Accord,
1991".
Recently, floods
in Australia and Sri Lanka displaced millions of people like in Pakistan
last year. It was
impossible that the proposed KBD with 6.1maf capacity of storing water,
would have stored
100maf water
of the flood despite the KBD, design-wise it was not for flood
control as pointed out
by the former chairman
of Irsa Fatehullah Gandapur, (1993-1998, August 12,
2010).
It is sad that some people are trying to use 'national catastrophe of
floods' for vested interests to usurp
the equitable shares of water, of
three out of four provinces.

Hindus festival: The night of Neelkanth |
|
ISLAMABAD, PAK: [SindhWeek.Com Report]
Hindus throughout Sindh have made all
arrangements to
celebrate one of the biggest Hindu festivals, the Maha Shivratri (the Great
Night of Lord Shiva), which would
be celebrated tomorrow (Wednesday). The Hindu community has decorated local
temples with colourful
flags, lights and buntings, and the statues of Shiva in
every Shiva temple in Karachi are bathed with milk
for the big night.
Women and children have bought new clothes
and various pooja (worship) items for the prayers to be held
on the night when every Hindu family would devote the entire night to chanting
‘Om Namah Shivaya’ (‘I bow
to Lord Shiva’) and other holy mantras.
Though arrangements have been made to
celebrate the event at all local temples, the central programme
would be held in the centuries-old historical Shiva temple located inside a cave
in one of the city’s posh
areas, Clifton.
According to Maharaj Shanjav Sharma, the
festival is celebrated every year on the night between the 13th
and 14th day of the Krishna Paksha (waning moon) in the month of Maagha of the
Hindu calendar. He
added
that Hindus dedicate one night to the leading Hindu god Shiva, also known as
Neelkanth
(blue-throated). According to Hindu mythology, Shiva once consumed the
poison Halahala, which was
churned up from the
world ocean, and his wife Parvati stopped it in his throat with her hands,
causing
the poison to turn his
throat blue.
Most Hindus celebrate Shivratri by fasting
for the entire day; in the evening, they make offerings of milk,
water, fruits, joss sticks and bel patra (bel tree leaves); and at night, prasad
(edible gift) is distributed
among the worshippers.
Hindu mythology states that three gods
control the universe - Brahma created it, Vishnu preserves and
protects it, and Shiva would ultimately destroy it; however, in addition to
being the destroyer, Shiva is also
the protector. A pundit of the Shiva temple said that more than 200,000 people -
not only from the city, but
from other parts of the province as well - visit the temple on Shivratri and
offer special prayers to Lord
Shiva.
“You can observe long queues from evening to
dawn inside the cave, waiting for their turn to perform pooja, while some bathe
Shiva’s statue with water and milk, offering bel patra and sweets,” he added.
The Hindu community is the largest religious minority in Pakistan, as according
to the official 1998 census, there are
around 2.7 million Hindus in the country, most of whom live in Sindh and
celebrate their religious festivals
on a massive scale.
Some Hindu leaders believe that the Hindu
population in Pakistan has grown to around 7.8 million since the
last national census. They said that there were more than 450 Hindu temples in
Karachi before the partition
of the Indian subcontinent, but now only 60 temples remain, as most of them have
been illegally occupied
or demolished [Courtesy: Pakistan Today, March
01, 2011).(11c01pt)

doesn't want to become Ayub Khuhro of Sindh",
the factual position is he (AAZ) has proved himself as

PML - N chief Nawaz Sharif |
Nawaz |
MUZAFARABAD, AK: [SindhWeek.Com
Report] Chief of his own
faction of the Pakistan Muslim
League,
Nawaz
Sharif, on Sunday (Dec 26, 2010) accused the Muttahida
Qaumi Movement
(MQM)
of killing innocent
people in Karachi. |
“MQM killed hundreds of innocent people
to avenge the killing of one worker,” he
said, while addressing a
large gathering of
PML-N supporters here at University Ground.
Why were 50 people killed on May 12, 2007
and Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar
Muhammad Chaudhry not allowed to leave the
Karachi airport?” the former prime minister
asked.
MQM Reaction:
KARACHI: Reacting

the people who are criticising
MQM had started their political

Conspiracy against
Sindhis in CSS exam; Sindh's result
only 5.7 per
cent versus Punjab's result 75.6 per
cent |
 |
KARACHI,
SINDH: [SindhWeek.Com Report]
The Frontier Post (Oct 26, 2010)
has printed a letter headlined: "Result of CSS examination"
by Mr Mohammad Khan Sial, Karachi that
reads as under: |
"The people of Sindh are once again in shock to see the recent results of CSS
Competitive examination
-2010 (written test) declared on Oct 14, 2010, in which a meager number of
students belonging to
Sindh
as
compared to Punjab and KP provinces, have passed. It was
noticed during the
last
years of tenure of
Gen
(Retd) Pervez Musharraf that there was an unannounced shift in policy
of CSS
competitive examination
resulting in big and sudden
decrease in number of candidates
passing written
test from Sindh.
It seems this policy is continuing even after Musharraf’s departure. The results
(approximately)
of
passing
candidates are as under: Punjab 75.6% (including Islamabad); KP 15.3%;
Sindh
05.7%; Balochistan 02.8%
and AK 00.4 per cent. Total number of candidates passed
were:
640 from Punjab (including Islamabad);
484
from
Sindh; 37 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa;
98 from Balochistan; 18 from Azad Kashmir. In
Sindh only
37
candidates
passed whereas
number of Islamabad’s passed candidates is double of Sindh; even
Multan
is
almost equal
and
Rawalpindi little less than of Sindh.
Although the present chairman of FPSC Justice (R) Rana Bhagwandas belongs to
Sindh but it appears
he
is
only nominal head as obviously he is being wrongly briefed about the CSS
examinations by his
subordinates
as evident from his some actions. Sometimes
back, there was statement in press
attributed to the chairman
that FPSC would abolish the paper of regional languages from the CSS
competitive
examination. Since Sindhi
is advanced and developed
language, therefore, candidates
belonging to Sindh
take regional paper in Sindhi.
Such action
on part of FPSC was directly meant to
harm interests of such
candidates. Nevertheless, the
decision was taken back after severe criticism
from people of Sindh.
Again the chairman was reported by a leading Sindhi daily as claiming “More
marks are given to
the
candidates appearing in subject of regional languages during the process of
checking and he has
made
arrangements that no such candidates would get more marks.” This claim of
chairman was
also wrong as
perhaps chairman does not know the candidates in their mother tongue are doing
well every where. I
appeal
to
the President and the Prime Minister to investigate the
matter
impartially in
order to arrest the
concern of
people of Sindh."

When 1st Vice
Chancellor, Karachi University A B
Haleem showed
his open hatred against Sindhi language in 1954 |
Haleem |
KARACHI,
SINDH: [SindhWeek.Com Report] How the first Vice
Chancellor, University of Karachi
Prof. A B
A Haleem
(Urdu speaking migrant from India) had hatred
against Sindhi language, this
can
be
judged from
the
fact that he had banned
Sindhi language in the University in the
past. He |
had
died on April 20, 1975.
A letter printed in Daily Frontier Post
exposing A B A Haleem headlined
"Mishandlings of
newly-born state"
(October 31, 2010) reads as under:
"In a review of the recently published
book “Political Dynamics of Sindh” by Dr
Tanvir A. Tahir
the author
writes: When
second Prime Minister M A Bogra
(belonging to East Pakistan - now
Bangladesh) declared
Bengali as second
language of Pakistan on February 4,
1954, the Sindhi intellectuals welcomed
the decision
but “Mohajars” protested
over it. On April 22, 1954, strike
was observed in Karachi against the
decision.
On
the same day, office of
Sindhi daily
“Al-Waheed” was
attacked.
The editors of Urdu and English
newspapers observed strike against the
said decision but Sindhi newspapers
did
not participate in it. Retaliating on
this, the then Vice Chancellor of
Karachi
University A. B. A Haleem
imposed
ban by not allowing answering papers in
Sindhi language in University of
Karachi’s examinations. However,
Barrister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto on Sept
17, 1957 challenged the decision of
University of Karachi
banning Sindhi
language, in the
then West
Pakistan High Court that
suspended the decision.
The author writes: When Sindh refused to
take over burden of “Mohajars”, the
Central Govt
declared
emergency on Aug
27, 1948, and got settled two lakhs
“Mohajars” in Karachi who
were residing
in various camps located in Punjab The
author also mentioned when late
Brigadier Tikka Khan was Martial Law
Administrator, Hyderabad, he abolished
the status of
Sindhi language as
Compulsory subject.
The book gives glimpses how newly born
Muslim state i.e. Pakistan was
mishandled by our own
educationists,
intellectuals and journalists for their
vested interests on ethnic basis. This
will
help
our new generation who
is
raising the questions about the
uncertain future of the country
to
understand the
background."

Ex-WAPDA chief Shamsul Mulk: Traitor
of
Pakhtunkhwa
or agent of Punjab? Letter in English
daily Frontier Post |
 |
KARACHI, SINDH: [SindhWeek.Com Report]
The Frontier Post has printed a letter
to the editor
entitled: "Doctorate
degree" dated December 16, 2010 by
Mohammad Khan Sial that reads as under:"
|
"I was shocked to know that University of Engineering and
Technology, Lahore, in its 19th
convocation has awarded honorary
doctorate degree to a highly controversial person namely
Shamsul
Mulk, ex-Wapda
chairman because he is supporter of controversial
Kalabagh dam
project in Punjab. If the Universities start awarding honorary
doctorate degrees on political
basis who would respect them? In
fact awarding such
degrees are insult to the Universities.
The University should clarify why such degree of high repute was
awarded to a controversial
person? May
be
for his ‘love’ to
Punjab or his ‘hatred’ against rest three provinces i.e. Sindh,
Punjab and KP - his native
province?"
http://www.thefrontierpost.com/News.aspx?ncat=le&nid=485
SindhWeek.Com adds: 80-year old Shamsul
Mulk is himself dam-contractor and he
has taken
many
contracts
of dams so far
in Punjab. If controversial Kalabagh dam
(KBD) is built in Punjab,
he would
definitely be
benefited for his
'loyalty' towards Punjab and his 'disloyalty' towards
his
own native Kyber-Pakhtunkhuwa
province as this province is staunch opponent of KBD."

Some
highhandedness of
Punjab |
Sindh |
KARACHI, SINDH: [SindhWeek.Com Report] The
highhandedness of might-Punjab against rest
of the
provinces continue since inception of Pakistan in Aug, 1947. Punjab-backed Establishment particularly Punjabi bureaucrats who matter in federal government, are continuously sucking blood of people of |
rest provinces in Pakistan
to protect vested interests of Punjab.
Might-Punjab's some highhandedness are
as under:
** It was might Punjab who compelled majority (56 per
cent of population of East Pakistan) to
get
independence
from minority (44 per cent of West Pakistan). No such
example in sovereign states through
out the world.
** When East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) was with us,
Punjab was severe opponent of
population-based
sole
criteria for distribution of natural resources but when
East Pakistan got independence, might Punjab
took
somersault and became champion of distribution of sole
criteria of natural resources on population
basis. Presently 82 per cent of
natural resources
are being distributed on population
basis as per
envisaged in
so-called new NFC Award.
** Govt-owned organization notorious WAPDA (Headoffice
in Lahore, Punjab) has been
shamelessly and
daringly supporting and protecting the
vested interests of Punjab on water
front at the cost of
rest three provinces particularly Sindh through Punjab-backed
bureaucracy
in Islamabad and Lahore.
** Punjab - (also known as Pakistani Israel) has occupied about 5,000
acres of land in Sindh adjacent
Sindh - Punjab border.
** Punjab police frequently enter into Sindh border
without prior permission of Sindh
government and
ransack
and set on fire houses of Sindhis under various
pretexts. Such photographs also printed with news
in
Sindhi press from time to time.
** Punjab loots natural resources of Sindh & Balochistan
mercilessly so much so overwhelming majority
of people
of Sindh & Balochistan are living much below the
internationally recognized
line of poverty.
** Might Punjab is stealing Sindh's share of water
released from Taunsa / Chashma in
jurisdiction of Punjab
several times by installing illegal water lift machines
in thousands of
number on both banks of River Indus
and this was echoed in the
Parliament.
** Punjab in connivance with notorious & white elephant
WAPDA is not allowing at least 10 MAF water to
be
released downstream Kotri as envisaged in "Water Accord
- 1991" resulting in:
01. sea intrusion inundating 2.6
million acres of land
02. ruination of 1/3 part of Sindh
from Kotri to Arabian sea due to sea incursion
03. formidable repercussions
on environment in Sindh
04. ruination of Indus delta - the sixth largest in the
world.
** General Musharraf once had said in Public: "Punjab was not
allowing release of 10MAF water
downstream Kotri as
Sindh was not agreeing to proposed Kalabagh dam". This
was an example
of highhandedness of Punjab.
** It was echoed in House of Sindh Assembly, Punjab was
creating hindrances in utilization of gigantic
Thar
Coal
deposits for electricity purpose through controversial
and notorious WAPDA
in order to get
so-called justification of proposed
Kalabagh dam in Punjab.
** At least two Punjabi heads of notorious and white
elephant WAPDA in the past namely Tariq Hameed
and
Lt
General (r) Zulfikar Ali Khan openly sided Punjab versus
Sindh on water front
and on some occasions
refused to carry out instructions
of IRSA for Punjab as admitted by
Tariq Hameed in
public.
** The water of water logging coming from Punjab is
creating havoc in Sindh particularly in
Ghotki district inundating thousands acres of valuable
land. (To Be Added - ed).

Punjab's guarantees on Water Accord 'show
pieces':Letter |
Punjab |
KARACHI, SINDH: [SindhWeek.Com Report] A leading
English daily Dawn has published letter
to
the editor headlined: "Need for Consensus on
dams" (June 20, 2010) by Mohammad Khan Sial,
which
reads as under: |
"This
is apropos of Khursheed Anwer’s letter
“Consensus on dam” (June 18) which states:
“Sindh has been guaranteed 2.2maf additional
water from the Kalabagh dam, what more
consensus
do the politicians want?”
It
appears that the writer has not been to the
depth of the problem. In the “Water
Appropriation Accord
1991”, at least a release
of 10maf water for downstream Kotri was also
guaranteed but was never
implemented even after
the passing of 20 years. So what is the use
of
guarantees when they were never implemented in
letter
and spirit but only worked as
“show-pieces”?
The
controversial Chashma-Jhelum Link Canal in
Punjab was the original Flood Canal, but many
times
Punjab has released water unilaterally
despite a severe deficit of water in Sindh.
During
the deficit,
Punjab has taken
its full
share of water multiple times by force. This can
be seen in
the A N G Abbasi Report.
Had
the water been released downstream Kotri, sea
intrusion would not have inundated 2.4
million
acres of valuable land in Sindh. According to
the Sindh government, almost 80m acres of
land
are inundated by sea intrusion. The government
of Sindh firmly believes that if the situation
remains the same, the historical city
of Thatta
and also Badin would disappear within 20 years.
This is all because the “Water Accord – 1991”
which was accepted by Sindh with reservations
was not implemented in letter and spirit.
Recently, the NFC Award, announced with
consensus, showed that even guarantees given in
the Constitution were not sufficient. The same
happened when the Thar coal, which was a
provincial subject, was taken up
by the Centre
against the constitution and a notification was
also issued
but after much hue and cry from
Sindh,
it was rolled back.
I
suggest that those who are sincere supporters of
the dam should first demand the following:
1.
At least 10maf should be released downstream
Kotri as envisaged in “Water Accord–1991”.
2.
Sindh must be given its due share of water at
Guddu.
3.
The Flood Canal, i.e. the Chashma–Jhelum Link
Canal, must be closed permanently except
for the
availability of excess water during floods.
4.
The controversial Wapda must be dismembered as
it had twisted facts and figures to support
Punjab.
Three out of four provinces are not
happy with its performance and the prime
minister called it a “white elephant” like
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto had once did.
5.
All efforts must be made to save the Indus Delta
as its ruination is bound to have
environmental
repercussions on Sindh. Only implementation of
the Water Accord–1991 will guarantee this.
6. Punjab must admit the theft it committed
on Sindh water and must pay compensation for it.

Hypocrisy of Punjab on NFC Award exposed by BBC
|
 |
KARACHI, SINDH: [SindhWeek.Com Report] A leading
English daily Dawn has published letter
to
the
editor headlined: "Anti-KBD lobby" (June 26, 2010)
by Mohammad Khan Sial, which
reads as under:
|
"This is apropos to the letter by T. S. Bokhari (June
22). It was surprising to read that he was
not willing
to accept anti-Kalabagh dam resolutions passed by three
out of four provinces
(about 10 resolutions) through
a
voting process. On the contrary, he deems decisions
based
on population.
If his argument is accepted and the population is to be
made the only criteria to make
decisions, then we
will
have to accept all the decisions, whether right or
wrong, that are
being made by Punjab in Pakistan,
India
in
Asia or China on a world-level as they
have
more population.
I may remind the writer that Punjab had strongly opposed
the distribution of national
resources on the
basis
of
criteria during the time when East Pakistan (now
Bangladesh) was
part of us. When East Pakistan
separated, Punjab then became a champion of
population-based NFC.
It is interesting to note in the recently passed 18th
amendment, on the insistence of Punjab,
it was added
that “No share of any province would be reduced in NFC.”
The main purpose was
to save the financial
interests of
Punjab at the cost of the other three provinces.
Mr Bokhari claims that “KBD lobby has some ulterior
motives”. On the contrary, I may point
out that the
ulterior motives against this country may be of those
who are: 1) not letting the “Water Accord –1991” be
implemented in letter and spirit; 2) not releasing at
least 10 MAF
water downstream Kotri as envisaged in
the
Accord which is resulting in serious sea intrusion;
3)
using Sindh’s share of water in Punjab’s
jurisdiction,
originally released for Sindh; 4) forcibly taking their
full share of water while there is a severe scarcity of
water in Sindh; 5) trying to convert Chashma-Jhelum link
canal from a flood canal to a perennial canal.

PIA's most corrupt Director HR &

Pathan |
KARACHI, SINDH: [SindhWeek.Com Report]
PIA's
Administration &
HR
chief
Muhammad Hanif
Pathan who till recently was looting financially
sick national
airlines PIA with both hands has
been sent on
LPR (Leave Preparatory Retirement) effective
January 16, 2011 despite having
his |
pressure tactics. During his tenure
as Director, he was
known as
"symbol of corruption" in
PIA.
Earlier
reports say, he was selling different vacancies
occurred in PIA from time to
time
including
of PSO
at
the rate of Rs 5 to 7 lakhs each. In the past,
he sold the post of Airhostess at the rate
of Rs 25
lakhs.
Nevertheless, different
vacancies have different
rates. While observing
favourtism, he made his inefficient brother-in-law Ghulam Rasool Pathan
(G R Pathan) generally known "Saalla Saahib"
as Manager Customer
Relations sometime back
by giving him rapid
'out of turn' promotions.
Sources closed to civil aviation revealed, Mr.
Pathan who was known as an inefficient & corrupt officer, was
side-lined by almost
all chairmen / Managing Directors, PIA including ex-chairman
Tariq Kermani
in the past,
and rated his 'adverse confidential
annual report' in 2005 like "Need Improvement" (the
lowest
rating),
therefore,
on the basis of his ACR and
poor performance,
Mr. Pathan was not eligible for promotion for next five
years but on the
basis of political
"Sufarish" during
PPP Govt. he was promoted him to the post of Director
HR & Administration backdated (since 1999)
and got
payment of huge arrears i.e. Rs 41 lakhs
illegally as reported by daily Jang.
According to reliable sources, Mr Pathan had nothing to
do with ruling Pakistan Peoples Party
(PPP) in the
past.
He was known as "adopted son" of late Mir Ali Ahmed Talpur,
ex-defence
minister in the cabinet of
army dictator General Ziaul Haq
but Mr Pathan was successful to find
out political "Sufarish" in PPP Govt in
the past but
this time 'Sufarish' did not work for extension
in service and poor and corrupt Mr Pathan has
to
go (11a2191).

Mohammad Ali
Jinnah University awards Honarary PhD
degree
to racist, chauvinist, terrorist Syed
Mustafa Kamal, MQM's ex-City Mayor of Karachi |
Kamal |
KARACHI, SINDH: [SindhWeek.Com Report] Mohammad Ali Jinnah University
(MAJU) has awarded
an
Honorary
Doctorate Degree to highly controversial person who is generally known
as terrorist,
racist and chauvinist. |
Syed
Mustafa Kamal, ex-city mayor of Karachi
& ex-Telephone Operator of 90, Azizabad
belongs to ethnic
group MQM.
After assassination of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto, ex-Prime Minister of
Pakistan on Dec 27, 2007
at Rawalpindi, Syed Mustafa who was City
Mayor in those days, had
threatened on ARY TV by claiming:
"Had Altaf not
stopped
us, we
would have sent 5,000
dead bodies to interior Sindh" [obviously of Sindhis].
Meanwhile, in the presence of racist
President General (r) Musharraf,
racist & chauvinist Kamal
had claimed
that
geographical changes would come within next six months
in the area (in other words,
Pakistan would dismember).
During his 4-year tenure, the racist and chauvinist City
Mayor
ensured not to reach direct
benefits of mega
development projects to Sindhis (sons
of soil), Balochs,
Punjabis & Pathans living in
Karachi.
Racist Kamal was such a chauvinist person while heading
CDGK, imported 150 buses (generally known as
Green
Buses) but all were operated to the destinations where
pro-MQM people were residing in Karachi.
Meanwhile, many educationists are in shock that MAJU had
given Ph.D degree to a person who
was known
as terrorist,
racist, chauvinist and anti-Pakistan. They say if our
Universities would
give Honarary Doctorate
degrees to persons known as
racist and chauvinist, who will respect
such degrees?

Sindh needs administrative
changes
|
Sindh is an important province of
Pakistan and its sensitive political situation needs, it must be ruled
over by politicians who possess political vision and wisdom but sorry to
say Islamabad rulers belonging to various political parties have always
treated Sindh as 'Colony' of Punjab.
In Sindh, the government during the last three years remained 'hostage' by
an ethnic group MQM headed by Altaf Hussain. It was reported they had
compelled PPP to appoint a weak chief minister
of Sindh Syed Qaim Ali
Shah so that they might continue their highhandedness in the province.
The Governor of Sindh Dr Ishratul Ibad was facing about 100 cases most
of them were criminals including murder cases but ex-army dictator and
chauvinist General (r) Musharraf appointed him Governor of Sindh and now
after continuous black-mailing tactics
by MQM, it seems difficult to get
rid of him.
Meanwhile, Syed Qaim Ali Shah at the age of 80 is almost mentally
disable to act quickly. He has become burden on Sindh whereas his only
merit is he is personally sincere to Asif Zardari, President of Pakistan
and Co-Chairman of ruling PPP.
Syed Qaim Ali Shah may be personally good but with the passage
of time,
his old age does not allow him to take quick decisions and work
actively. Mostly he forgets what he said in the past.
We point out President Asif Zardari Sindh needs a dynamic and young
chief minister. Therefore, Mr Shah must be replaced with some
dynamic young person. At the same time, the present Governor Dr Ishrat
Ibad - who is known as terrorist, must also be sacked immediately in
order to ensure good governance

KARACHI: MQM's leader beating
up
women during
session of City Council; Altaf rewarded him
seat of MNA but
was defeated in general elections |
KARACHI,
SINDH: [SindhWeek.Com Report] Nazim (now former) of
Union Council (UC) - 08, Baldia,
Karachi Salmaan Mujahid who belongs to an
ethnic
Group of Karachi, Muttahida
Qaumi Movement (MQM) by removing his
belt, was beating up women Councillors
during session of the City Council, Karachi
(April 2007) presided over by deputy mayor
Ms Nasrin Jaleel who also belongs to the
same ethnic group (As seen in photo)>>>>
Shockingly, Ms Nasrin Jaleel took very cosmetic
action against
guilty-proved Salmaan Mujahid by not allowing him to attend
sessions of the Council, only for brief period of
two months.
However, chief of MQM Altaf Hussain later
'rewarded' Salmaan |
MQM's Sulman beating
up women |
|
Mujahid for beating up women
by awarding him MQM ticket
for National Assembly seat from NA-239-Karachi (Coastal area
of Karachi including Keamari) in general
elections held in February, 2008 but Salman was defeated despite MQM's mass rigging
on gun point in general elections at Karachi. However, he
continued to
work as Nazim, UC-8 Baldia, Karachi and also member of ethnic MQM
till Local Bodies were dissolved after
completing tenure of 04 years.
This photograph was
printed by all major dailies of Pakistan
including widely circulated Urdu
daily Jang,
Karachi. Through Google & other Search
Engines, you can find this easily.
'Cosmetic punishment' i.e. not to attend
sessions of the City Council for a brief period
of two months to MQM's Salman Mujahid by deputy mayor,
Karachi, (now former) Ms Nasreen Jaleel also belonging to
same Group, was itself proof that he was guilty'.
Some Urdu newspapers
added "Baloch" with his
name in the caption of above-mentioned
photograph under advise of MQM's the then
Advisor Salahuddin Haider.
In
fact, his father Mujahid - an
ordinary man started
politics from Lyari & its adjacent
areas where Sindhi & Baloch
people were residing
in abundance, but he could
not get any positive response
from them, therefore, he started adding "Baloch" (fake) with his
name but all in vain

Late Mir Khalilur Rahman of daily Jang had
played dirty game in dismembering Pakistan;
Fanned hatred resulted
in killing of hundreds of innocent Sindhis in Karachi, Hyd. |

KARACHI, SINDH: [SindhWeek.Com Report] It was
late Mir Khalilur Rahman, founder of Urdu daily
Jang, Karachi who played a vital and dirty role
in dismembering Pakistan as he used his Urdu
daily
Jang by labeling majority people Bengali
(56 percent of total population) besides Sindhi,
Balochi and |
Pashto as
anti Pakistan, anti-Islam, anti-2
Nations theory, anti-ideology of Pakistan,
Indian Agents etc., whenever the raised
their voices for restoration of their
national rights in united Pakistan.
"The dirty man of Journalism" Mir Khalilur Rahman
in 1972 during "Language disturbances" had
printed
one line from poem of late Rais
Imrohi (renowned poet of Urdu) which he
originally said in 1939 year and without his
(Imrohi) permission as many years back Rais
Imrohi said, Jang printed single line of his
poem "Urdu Kaa Janazaa Hey, Zara Dhoom Say
Nikleay" (It is dead body of Urdu and such
procession might be taken warmly) without any
justification, by giving border to the
whole page of the newspaper.
This added fuel to the fire and consequently
hundreds of Sindhis (Sons of Soils) were
massacred in
Karachi and Hyderabad due to
mischievous act of dirty man Mir Khalilur
Rahman.
Dirty man Mir Khalilur Rahman did not become
satisfied on this and again in 1988, he gave a
wrong news
in his paper that in carnage of
Hyderabad, Qadir Mangsi (Sindhi nationalist
leader) was involved whereas MQM leader Altaf
many years back admitted "Established" was
behind the killings in Hyderabad so that
Sindhi
and Urdu speaking people should fight with each
other.
A Sindhi intellectual on the
condition of anonymity said
Urdu media has always made
partial
reporting by
neglecting national
interests / issues of Sindh
since long. In Urdu press,
late Mir
Khalilur Rehman,
founder
of Urdu daily Jang,
Karachi was the person who
introduced such
dangerous
trend immediate after
creation
of Pakistan (Aug
1947). He continued to use
his all
energies to prove
majority people in Pakistan
i.e.
Bengali, Sindhis,
Balochs and Pathans were as
anti-Pakistan, anti-Islam &
anti Pakistan-Ideology
through
his newspaper
whenever they had demanded
restoration of their
national rights in united
Pakistan. Unfortunately
similar trends prevail more
or less in today's Urdu
media particularly Urdu
electronic media
but in a
different shape, he
added
