Latest guesstimate of 272 National Assembly Seats. The list of candidates is almost final. Some remaining seats from Punjab will be announced by Election Commission tomorrow.
I think some the seats are very narrowly contested.
The real thing is last minute manipualtion in favour of Qleague.
2002 Humyun akhtar lost but in the moening was declared successful.
I THINK Q league will go for massive rigging.
In Lahore Q league is working with zila nazim support. He is doing extrabit to support Abdul aleem khan and q league younger chaudhry
I believe ISI also called “Farsihtay” will decide who is going to win.Turn out will be less than 25% and 15% farishtay to make up for total of 40%.
I pray to God “Yah Allah mujhe shaitan rajim aur pakistan army se mehfooz rakh”
Pervaiz elahi, sheeda talli, shujaat are at maximum local councllor level without any vision. These guys just think that pakistani nation is just about doing some sewarge , small roads and bradari system development.
Their ideology is Famous MITTI PAO SAYING.
THE NATION SHOULD PUT MITTI ON these low calibre people
Vote for any party, but dump QAAF/ QENCHI/ DONKEY LEAGUE
I am not satisfied from ur rahim yar khan predictions
i think zaib jaffar is not going to win from na 193
Instead his father jaffar gujjar is a strong candidate from 196
and chaudry shafiq(former mpa in 2002) has good chance from 197
It seems that people on this forum and Admin are living in illusive world of fool’s paradise. NS and BB are both top class thugs and not only that, but they both use to fight each other like two dogs fight each other, and under their control, their party members use to fight party members of their opponents like dogs too. Both these crooked thugs never worked for people or country. Their only purpose in power was to loot, plunder, and victimise others.
Now it would be surprises even to think that many Pakistanis would vote for them. People in Present government under Pervaiz Musharraf may have reputation of being followers of these two thugs (especially crook NS) and under these corrupt thugs (Ali -Baba and Ali-Baby) these little crooks use to steal too, but nevertheless, during years they were in power (or power by name), they did work for the people and for the country, and from their results, even if they looted, they did not looted as much as these two mega-thugs use to steal, because we (all Pakistanis) have plenty to see and feel.
I do not think that people are that fool as supporters of past two mega corrupt thugs believe and expect that people will give these crooks and their corrupt supporters (chailay chamchay) anymore chance to return bank into power to loot, plunder, and destroy the country again.
I think that at most PPP would manage to get around 45 NA seats and that also because BB supporters are more ignorant than NS, as most are illiterate Paindus and many live in pinds (villages). As for NS, if he would get even 5 seats he should do shukrana because his traditional supporters were from cities that are not as ignorant as paindu supporters of BB. I believe that unless some miracle happens, NS and BB future political career in Pakistan is Kaput … finished, unless we get another reign of corrupts and people forget what these two thugs, NS and BB did during their reign, that is loot, plunder, nepotism, mismanagement, misconduct, interference everywhere, victimising opponents, pigheadedness, ignorance and bitchiness.
I know that it would be shock to the corrupt supporters of past thugs, but believe me, in every way, these both crooked thugs, aka BB and NS are worth less than cow dung, and are almost finished in Pakistan politics, NS almost 90 percent finished whereas BB is almost 60 percent finished.
Please try to live with reality and come out of dreams … thug aur un kay satheeyon kee chandni thoray din hotie hay aur in duno kee in kay satheeyoon kay saath woh chandni hou gayee … aab in duno aur in duno kay choor sathyoon kay liya taryeeki hee taryeeki hay

This guess of urs is so pro NS That even NS wont agree with it. I m not pro Mush or Q (u can see my old comments) but NS has not changed a bit He and BB were and still r Corrupt.
This guess is not even a guess its ur wishful thinking n u can wish watever u want.
@ so called Y r u and others r getting happy if some one is going to NS from Q arent they the same who looted the country for last 5 years? if Tamans, Fidoos ashiq awan, Hina Khar etc r with Q they r bad n when they r not wid q they become so clean n nice n pro Awam….
Btw tamin left q coz he was not given the ticket same is with fardoos, hina, amin and others and Be if Q is gonna lose then i hope its ur Uncle who is gonna be next Pm. Its good if thats the case other wise Ur intelectual level( as u mentioned above) is in serious need of upgrade
so if u dont agree, why dont u share ur comments and analysis constituency wise. why dont u let us know for which cosntituency u have different opinin to that of admin??
do u beleive that CHOD-RE Ghora of gujrat will win??
42 candidates of PMLQ has retirnf tickets..aso they r losing the battle before contesting..cant u see that..
and have u seen any jalsaa by Qainchi league??
PERVAIZ ELAHI of qenchi leage should bu dumped into the dustbin.
People should get rid of this MITTI Pao PARTY and burry them.
The are shamefully corrupt , vowed to elect a dictator in uniform agian and again.
These are the guys who are biggest supporter fo CO OPERATIVE SCANDAL, SUPPORTER OF SUGAR AND ATTA MAFIA.
SHujatt speaks either french or espanish no one understand this low calibre
person.
It seems you are the biggest fool I have seen commenting on this website.
70% of poor Pakistanis living in rural areas have probably never heard of a guy called “Shaukat Aziz” and you think these masses will reject the popular leaders over military sponsored propaganda?
I WOULD LIKE TO BRING SOME FACTS ABOUT CHOUDRIES OF GUJRAT
Probebly young generation doest know about eleder choudry known as ZHAOOR ILAHI father of shujaat Hussain.
this older choudry was police spoy and due to some fortune he was appointed as member of the borad of governer of NATIONAL BANK OF PAKISTAN then dectator ayoub khan in 1962, where as he was just matriculate.
this cruoupt choudry of Gujrat got loan of 1 crore ruppeses and never paid who case was still in process at the time of another dectator Zaiulhaq when the crupt zhoor ilahi was killed and never ever paid Rs.1 crore of 1962 ( now one can imagin the value of then Rs. 1 corore)
i am person witness of this event. when bhutto nationlized Moddren Floor mills located at Railway bridge of Bagbanpura CRUPT CHOUDRY PERVAIZ ILAHI was manger of this floor mills. upon investgations it was found that adacent KABURUSTANS LAND was gabed and added in the mills area as well as land of a wido was grabbed and added in the mills which she requested govt. to return after nationalization. Curupt. Modren floors mills also owe Rs 30 lack to the market for purchase they had made for business and they had not paid this amount. upon filing the claim floor milling corporation of Pakistan paid this amount to the market subject to adjustment againt the settelment of the price of the mills.
upon denionalization of Modren floor mills by then dectator ZIAUL HAQ, army came in August 1978 and order the staff to hand over the mills to the these crupt peoples. Manager and accoutant told the Capt. incharge of the army that they have insruction not releas the mills unless Choundry pay the full amount of 3 millions what was paid on there behlaf by the Govt.
when Manager of the mills asked Drictor Food (then) what to do, it was advised not to showup next in the mills so he can get instructionf from the government. Next day morning when manager had no show army captain showed up at Manager and accountants homes they where packed in Army jeep and brought to the Mills where this perviz ilahi was present and they were forced to sign all documents to hand of the mills without payment of 3 millions rupes ( this 1978 value) which were never paid nor widos lands were given back nor Land grab of KABRUSTAN was released
these the fact i am personally wintness and now these CRUPT CURPTS GENES OF CRUPT WANT TO PRIME minister of Pakistan
OH PEOPLES OF PAKISTAN LOOK AT
SHUJAT HUSSAIN AND PERVAIZ ILAHI NEXT TO QUAID AZAM AND SLAP ON YOURSELF ON YOUR FACE
OH ALLAH HELP US
CHAUDRIES are shamefull characters of our politics.
This guy thinks running a country is like a zila council work with caste system and local plot and permit politics
BB has rightly said these or POLITICAL ORPHANS.
God save our country from people like Musharaf and chaudharies, sheik rasheed and durrani type ——————-
@Rasheed
I am surprised that you heard the name of a guy called ‘Shaukat Aziz’. You wrote that 70 percent of Pakistani poor Paindus have ‘probably’ never heard of a guy called ‘Shaukat Aziz’. Did you include the word ‘probably’ because of yourself?
Anyhow, do not worry. These 70 percent Paidnus you mentioned, they are also found in cities. Many village Painus would give vote to BB and many city paindus would give vote to NS … because as you said that ‘Probably’ many have not heard of a guy called ‘Shaukat Aziz’ :). But then, as once Khar said, these 70 percent Paidnus would give vote to even ‘Khamba’ if they would be asked to give vote to ‘Khamba’, than be assured that Pakistan political result would come depending on who got right ‘Khamba’.
I believe that other than doing lot of work in the country during last 8 years, Musharraf government has earned loyalty of many non-Paindu Pakistanis, Musharraf government managed to get support of many good quality ‘Khambas’ in Pinds
Chaudhary brothers may be good, bad or eveil, it does not matter, as many would not give them vote but would give vote for continuity of policies that has given Pakistan lot of developments and prosperity, and also because last two mega-thugs in power did so much looting and plundering that many do not like to see their ugly face back.
Pakistani wealth is not for BB to loot and plunder so that she can buy Diamond necklace, Surrey Palace, and numerous properties all over world from it or fill her Swiss Bank accounts, neither Pakistani wealth is for her husband to feed murabba to his horse, play polo at the expense of Pakistani poor, and do all looting and plundering Pakistani poor’s money to become dollar billionaire on looted money.
Pakistan wealth is also not for NS to loot and plunder so that he can buy flats near Hide Park, properties all over world, fill his Swiss Bank accounts, grab lands, properties and factories in Pakistan, get loan from Pakistani banks and never return, spend poor Pakistani money in treasury on his private residence in Lahore and Raiwand and worse of all, use it to grow hair on his ganja head.
Neither Pakistani institution are there so that instead of serving Pakistani poor, these khabees crooks use nepotism to fill these institutions and government jobs with their inefficient and undeserving party workers.
The best I like from you “grow hair on his ganja head” . I couldn’t stop laughing.. this is so funny Yet you ask a NS supporter he will give you a perfect logic for that . He will justify that how growing hair on ganja head is equivalent to growing democracy … not a bad argument. Let see how many will start believing it
@Rebellion
“policies that has given Pakistan lot of developments and prosperity”????
On this forum I see now & then that musharraf developed economy but nobody precisely tell how where and in which context?
For me the driving force of economy is energy and in that sector he has been miserable. Neither a single watt of electricity has been added in 8 years nor is such a chance in coming 8 years as there is no MoU till today for future. so future govts will suffer too by this lack of vision?
Middle class has almost been eliminated from the country. Today there iare either very rich or very poor.
Infrastructure side is also not enviable, example sher sha bridge Karachi.
When it comes to comparison always compare his first 2-3 years with thoseof corrupt politicians because they got that much of continuous terms. In this context Growth rate for 1999-2002 was 1-2%.
After 9/11 he made pakistan a mistress of US and everybody knows mistresses do have money. Money flowed in the form of aid which increased the forex reserves. good thing but what efforts were made to translate all this to sustainable development.
As for corrupt politicians they always faced western sanctions as against the military govts who always had western generosity in the form of aid. and comparing govts with limited stay and comitted to nuclear program with those who make U turns is not fair.
Your general gave a 7 point agenda when he came. where is it? does he remember it.
And you will say there is no corruption. steel mills, chak shehzad, 12 may killings, DHA’s etc
The only creditable thing has been our scholarships (I thin not from Musharrafuddin’s Pocket) when money came as a result of UTurns. other than this anything? please precise.
regards,
Since you believe that regarding development and work done, I am exaggerating or lying … I believe that most on this forum are educated (though I know that some are paindus too, to whom bull is same as cow and I do not care about them). Hence I will give educated response. That is logical and factual full of figures.
Starting with American Aid and Grants (that what materialized over last 8 years of Mush rule): We should know that responsible personalities of country that receives aid cannot deny or lie regarding Aids and Grants because denying means calling donor country liars and since donor countries always keep record of Aids and Grants (for their own accountability in front of their own treasury), they would come with proof, would protest and would stop further Aids and Grants. Hence, here is aid and grant that Pakistan received from USA (in words of Dr Ishrat Hussain, who is was governor State Bank of Pakistan and all money that comes to country in any form use to come through his office). The Amount I am mentioning includes all type of Aids and Grants, including health and education.
Financial year 2002 (July 2001- June 2002): USA provided in the form of debt relief of $600 million … that means no cash to Pakistan, just payment related to Pakistani debt [When Musharraf government took over, Pakistan had around $70 billion debt, $38 billion in dollars, and was paying just interest of around $8 billion a year on debt taken by past governments (around $3.5 billion in dollars). This $600 million was paid by USA on behalf of Pakistan].
Financial year 2003 (July 2002- June 2003): USA used economic support fund of $186 million to retire Pakistan American debt of $1 billion. No cast to Pakistan, just write off of loan worth $186 million, to cancel $1 billion debt (because if not retired, Pakistan had to pay interest and thus it would cost Pakistan $1 billion over years).
Between FY 2004-2007 (July 2003 – June 2007 … until present) US provided:
Economic support fund: $800 million dollars as budgetary support.
Child Survival and Health Programme and (c) PL 480 Title II: $530 million.
Earth quake relief $105 millions
I ignoring amounts that USA has committed (Pakistan may receive in future).
Thus, USA helps to Pakistan through out Musharraf government, till 30 June 2007:
In the form of debt retirement and debt relief = $186 millions plus $600 millions = $786 millions dollars.
Economic support = $800 million dollars.
Child survival and Health = $530 million dollars.
Earth quake relief= $105 million dollars.
On top of that, Pakistan received military assistance of $900 million until 2007.
Total = $ 3121 million dollars of military and economical assistance (Aids and Grants). That is all, and all came after during last 6 years (at around $520 million a year).
Now apart of Aids and Grants: Apart of above: USA has been reimbursing in dollars the expenditure that Pakistan incur in supplying logistics services to US troops in Afghanistan. USA calls this reimbursement as ‘Emergency Relief Assistance’. This is not Aids or grants, but it is amount that Pakistan spends out of Pakistan own resources in rupees for providing logistic to USA and USA reimburse that. It includes food, water, oil as well as intelligence information to USA plus extra expenses Pakistan incur in making Pakistan western border secure for USA in Afghanistan. This cost Pakistan charges USA since 2002 and it comes to around $80 million dollar a month. Since 2002, Pakistan received around $4.8 billion dollars from USA. If USA stops that, Pakistan would stop all extra expenses Pakistan incurring related to this money, and that’s it.
You cannot call this Aid or grant from USA to Pakistan, as you would not call Aid and Grant to USA from Pakistan when Pakistan pays USA for military equipments or other services.
You should know that Pakistan got Aids and Grants during all past governments from USA. Only time USA banned all Aids and Grants and also forced other countries to ban any Aid and Grant to Pakistan was after Oct 1999 coup by Musgarraf (that stayed until after Sept 2001), and that was because Clinton took that coup as coup against his own person, because NS was his slave and poodle, and American warned Pakistan army several times before coup that USA would not tolerate such coup against NS. Most Aid and Grant USA gave to Pakistan was during Zia and Ayub government.
Debts carries interest plus servicing charges and that means, each year if interest and service charges are not paid than debt would increases. All Pakistani governments (AK, ZAB, Zia, NS, BB, and Mush) inherited debts and all took further loan to pay interest and service charges on past debts. Except Mush government, all took more loan than they paid in interest and service charges. Worst was corrupt government of NS and BB.
When Zia died, Pakistan debt was around Rs 300 billion plus around $12 billion. If no further debt was taken and corrupts would have let interest accumulate (borrowing to pay interest and service charges only) than Pakistan in 1999 would have had debt of around Rs 850 billion plus around $25 billion. Because these two goons took extra debt, debt when they left increased to around Rs 1600 billion plus $38 billion (before May 1998, dollar debt was $43 billion, but NS froze dollar account and switched dollar debt to Rupee debt, increasing rupee debt (@ Rs 46 per dollar) from around 1300 billion to around 1600 billion while reducing some of dollar debt. Thug NS and crook BB not only borrowed, but borrowed at very high interest rates (because their borrowing was so much and Pakistan economy was so sluggish that no one wanted to lend money to Pakistan).
When Musharraf came to power in 1999:
GDP (1999 figure): 62 billion dollars.
Federal tax collection: 1998-1999: 308 billion rupees
(Both GDP and federal tax collection was increasing at snail pace through out corrupts 11 years rule … 1988-1999)
Total (internal and external) debt: over 70 billion dollars or around 115 percent of GDP and that was around 12.3 time federal tax collection.
When Musharraf came to power, he inherited around Rs 1600 billion (internal debt) plus $38 billion (external debt). If he had taken no further debt and would have borrowed to just pay interest and services on inherited debt than today Pakistan would have had over Rs 3500 billion (internal debt) plus around $70 billion external debt. Fortunately first time sanity came to Pakistan government and Musharraf did not borrowed but changed the policy towards payment of debt and increase revenue.
GDP (2007 figures): 146.3 billion dollars
Federal tax collection: 2006-2007: 846 billion rupees
(Both GDP and federal tax collection increasing at very high space)
Total (internal and external) debt: around 80 billion dollars or around 54.5 percent of GDP and that is around 5.7 times federal tax collection (plus interest rate on these debts are much lower than NS and BB time … for instance, defence saving certificates gives around 9 percent interest, when during corrupt rule of NS and BB, defence saving certificates were giving 18 percent interest).
Data of Pakistan federal tax collection (see how slow it was increasing during corrupt rule of NS and how it started to jump increase when Musharraf took over):
Ayub (1961-1969): Average increase per year over 11 Years
GDP: 9.4 % per year (from $3.6 billion to $9.7 billion) … … Per capita income increased @ 5 % per year [from $ 88 (1958) to $ 161 (1969)]
Bhutto (1972-1977): Average increase per year over 5 Years
GDP: 6.7 % per year (from $11.4 billion to $15.8 billion) … … Per capita income increased @ 2.97 % per year [from $184 (1972) to $ 213 (1977)]
Zia (1077-1988): Average increase per year over 11 Years
GDP: 8.8 % per year (from $15.8 billion to $40 billion) … … Per capita income increased @ 5.77 % per year [from $213 (1977) to $ 395 (1988)]
BB and NS (1988-1999): Average increase per year over 11 Years
GDP: 4.1 % per year (from $40 billion to $ 62.2 billion) … … Per capita income increased @ 1.55 % per year [from $395 (1988) to $ 468 (1999)]
Musharraf (1999-2007): Average increase per year over 8 Years
GDP: 11.3 % per year (from $62.2 billion to $ 146.3 billion) … … Per capita income increased @ 8.89 % per year [from $468 (1999) to $ 925 (2007)]
Musharraf (2002-2007): Average increase per year over 5 Years
GDP: 15 % per year (from $ 72.8 billions to $146.3 billions … … Per capita income increased @ 12.69 % per year [from $509 (2002) to $ 925 (2007)]
Base Rate: There is lot of propaganda by corrupt thugs and his goons on base rate change. Base rate changes every 5 to 10 years in most countries. It has no significant effect on data especially when figures are quoted in current values (something I quoted above). Rebasing changes the future figures of constant values as constant values are normalised to value of certain year. Before 1999 all constant values were normalised to year 1980-81 (making value of 1980-81 = 100) but from FY 1999-2000, figures are normalised to values of 1999-2000 (making value of 1999-2000 = 100). In percentage terns, effects of rebasing in constant values only happens during first year of rebasing, and after that, no effect can be seen.
Since rebasing takes time and efforts of government without any real advantage in figures for governments performance, but it is done by sincere governments who want to see new avenues to work and promote, corrupt governments (thug NS and corrupt BB) never bothered to rebase the figures, because they never cared to work for the country. It shows their incompetence as well as insincerity towards the country (Pakistan). Since Musharraf government cared and worked for the country, they did rebasing as they came into power (because it was overdue … not done for 20 years),
Javed true yaar … just imagine that this khabbees looted the money of Pakistani poor and spent it on siri-payea, kapuray biryani, kata-kat, haleem, bhunna murg … and worse of all, to grow hair on his ganga head (I think he should have his name in gunnies book of record for that, as no leader, even crook leader has done that ever, grow hair) when Pakistanis whose money he looted, many struggle to get decent food one time a day. A crook that claims to represent poor people, loot, plunder and cares for his hair more than poor, how can such person could be trusted?
Rebellion
Bro you are absolutely right. I hope your comments will stay because yesterday I was having a debate with GM, who is the biggest chamcha of crook Nawaz, and I was almost blocked to post comments. I was put on moderation and while this was going on, some “DemoCAT” Undemocrat Pakistani jumped in and helped GM with their same old blah blah blah
I won’t say “lies, damn lies & statistics” but u still skipped the 1999-2001 figures. Moreover would u please give us the figures regarding domestic borrowing because this is the most dangerous of the debts. and last but not the least the money paid in return of guantanamo as recognized by mush in “In the line of Fire”.
I still await response about future of the socalled reforms, specially energy and social sector.
and try not to use abusive language as it shows u in very poor light.
Domestic (internal) borrowing is not as dangerous as external borrowings. We should remember that a country get into pressure on its sovereignty more because of external debt than internal debt, as excessive internal borrowing increase inflation and thus reduce the impact of internal debt on treasury, but with increase in inflation the value of currency also devalues and thus external debt keep increasing, plus to pay external debt a country needs foreign exchange that a country has to earn hard way. Though I have mentioned domestic or internal (Rupees) debt as well as external (dollar) debt in my previous posts, as you asked, I am putting it again.
You should know that inflation may seems high but over last 8 years, average inflation was much lower (average between 5 to 6 percent) compared to inflation during pervious 11 corrupt years (1988-1999) or during Zia (1977-1988) or Bhutto period (1972-1977).
External debt during corrupt duo (NS and BB) period increased from $12 billion in 1988 to $38 billion in 1999 or 317 percent in 11 years or @ 11 percent a year (compound). External debt increased from $38 billion in 1999 to around $40 billion in 2007 or @ 0.65 percent (even less than 1 percent) a year (compound) in 8 years (actually at one time external debt was decreasing).
As for domestic (or rupee) debt: In 1988, it was around Rs 300 billion
In 1999 = internal debt over Rs 1600 billion.
FY 1998-1999= federal tax collection Rs 308 billion
In 11 years, it increased by over 530 percent, or 5.3 times, or @ 16.5 percent a year (compounded). Pakistan government was paying over 15 percent interest a year on this internal debt or around Rs 250 billion a year [On defence saving certificates (18.5 percent), mahana amdani certificates (around 19 percent) and Khas deposit certificates (17 to 18 percent)]. Federal tax collection in 1999 was Rs 308 billion, and interest on internal debt (Rs 250 billion) use to consume almost 80 percent of that federal tax collection.
In 2007 = internal debt around Rs 2590 billion
FY 2006-2007 = federal tax collection Rs 846 billion
In 8 years, internal debt increased by around 61 percent, or 1.61 times, or @ 6 percent a year (compounded). It means that debt is around 3 time federal tax collection (instead of 5 times during corrupt rule). Due to huge decrease in borrowing, Mush government managed to reduce interest on internal borrowing too, and today average interest cost to Pakistan is around 5 to 6 percent (instead of 15 to 16 percent during rule of corrupts). Present government discourages investment on government saving certificates (as it pays higher interest due to people got used to it).
Federal tax collection in 2007 was Rs 946 billion, and interest on internal debt (less than Rs 150 billion), thus interest on internal debt now consumes less than 18 percent of federal tax collection, leaving a lot to spend on other things.
As for 1999 to 2002 figures (first three years of Musharraf rule), this period was mostly used by Mush government to reorganize economy. Sept 2001 attack on Afghanistan also affected Pakistan economy, as external trade and internal economical activities got affected (opposition use to shout that Pakistan lost 10 billion dollars due to ‘9-11’ event and American attack on Afghanistan). One can see the affect easily on federal tax collection that increased very little during FT 2001-2002 (year after 11th Sept event). Still, overall economical growth, federal tax collections, as well as other economical activities in Pakistan were substantially better during these 3 years than 11 years (1988-1999) of corrupt rule.
I have given figures in my previous post for these three years too. You can see the figures of Pakistan from 1999-2007, that is still much better than figures of Ayub Khan, Zia, Bhutto or 11 years of corrupts (BB and NS).
I used dollars as dollar figures to extend neutralized the effect of inflation and dollar is the currency world economy is measured.
Musharraf (1999-2007): Average increase per year over 8 Years
GDP: 11.3 % per year (from $62.2 billion to $ 146.3 billion) … … Per capita income increased @ 8.89 % per year [from $468 (1999) to $ 925 (2007)]
Compare that with any of past regimes, from Ayub Khan to corrupt duo (NS and BB) and you will find that quite good.
Musharraf period (1999-2007): 8 years
GDP increased @ 11.3 percent a year
Per Capita income increased @ 5 percent a year.
Ayub Khan (1958-1969): 11 years
GDP increased @ 9.4 percent a year
Per Capita income increased @ 5 percent a year.
Bhutto (1972-1977): 5 years
GDP increased @ 6.7 percent a year
Per Capita income increased @ 2.97 percent a year.
Zia (1977-1988): 11 years
GDP increased @ 8.8 percent a year
Per Capita income increased @ 5.77 percent a year.
Corrupt duo … BB and NS (1988-1999): 11 years
GDP increased @ 4.1 percent a year
Per Capita income increased @ 1.55 percent a year.
Here are Musharraf breakdown for first 3 years and later years.
Musharraf (1999-2007): Average increase per year over 8 Years
GDP: 11.3 % per year (from $62.2 billion to $ 146.3 billion) … … Per capita income increased @ 8.89 % per year [from $468 (1999) to $ 925 (2007)]
Musharraf period (1999-2002): 3 years
GDP: 5.05 % per year (from $62.2 billion to $72.8 billion) … … Per capita income increased @ 2.84 % per year [from $468 (1999) to $ 509 (2002)]
Musharraf (2002-2007): 5 Years
GDP: 15 % per year (from $ 72.8 billions to $146.3 billions … … Per capita income increased @ 12.69 % per year [from $509 (2002) to $ 925 (2007)]
The Auditor General of Pakistan has found a total loss of 65 billion rupees in nine ministries, including Trading Corporation of Pakistan, National Tanker Company, Pakistan National Shipping Corporation and PIA during the rule of General Musharraf. This huge amount was looted under of General Musharraf and nobody bothered to care. Is this the performance that Pervez Musharraf takes pride in, and calls it better than that of political rulers?
General Pervez Musharraf never tires of calling his system of local government the panacea of all ills. However, the Auditor General has pointed out corruption of Rs. 633.7 million in just one year in Punjab districts. An audit covering three-and-a-half years accounts of Punjab local governments would prove billion lost due to corruption, another matter of pride for General Musharraf.
Foreign loans of $9 billion
Boasting about economic achievements of his government, General Musharraf also repeatedly claims of having broken the begging bowl. However, Financial Ministry sources have revealed that the government acquired nine billion dollars in loans from foreign institutions during the first four-and-a-half years of its rule. Where is the broken begging bowl of which general Musharraf is so proud?
Postponement of Mega Projects and Losses
Nawaz Sharif government had initiated a large number of mega projects including Gwadar Port, Ghazi Barotha Project, Islamabad Air Port, Pindi Bhattian-Faislaabad Motorway, Apna Ghar Scheme, Indus Highway and Makran Coastal Highway. General Musharraf put all these projects on hold after usurping power causing rise in costs, and the national exchequer was burdened with 150 billion rupees, for which he alone is responsible. Is that a laudable performance?
Rs. 30 billion loans written off
During the first three years of his rule, General Musharraf wrote off loans worth Rs. 30 billion due from big borrowers. No democratic government in ten years could match that performance!
The value of non-performing loans rose by Rs. 52 billion during the first four years of Musharraf rule, while the loan default rose by 21 billion rupees.
Nawaz Sharif reduced annual expenses of the Prime Minister House to 160 million rupees down from 320million, but General Musharraf again ordered an increase to Rs. 850 million.
VIP Culture
Nawaz Sharif had abolished the VIP culture, but General Musharraf not only revived it but also expanded it.
Role of the NAB
General Pervez Musharraf had claimed that NAB was an effective instrument against corruption, and that it would wipe out corruption. However, he refused to abide by the Supreme Court ruling regarding NAB, and used it to force change of loyalties. Is that the reason why many people facing NAB cases were appointed minister after they changed their loyalties? Many others with fake degrees are included in ruling party legislators and ministers. Siddique-ul-Farooque has already provided NAB with irrefutable evidence against Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi and Chaudhry Wajahat Hussain. But NAB has stopped all proceedings on these references under directions from General Musharraf. Recently, NAB’s Additional Director Major (retired0 M. A. Lodhi was caught with 400 million rupees that he had received as bribe. He has been caught because he allegedly did not share the money with others. In fact NAB is full of black sheep from top to bottom. Instead of eliminating corruption, it continues to be involved in corruption worth billions. I challenge that if former NAB chief Khalid Maqbool, former Prosecutor General Farooq Adam, Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, Chaudhry Wajahat Hussain, Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, Owais Leghari and the existing NAB officials named by me are handed over to me with powers o0f the NAB chief, I will recover 20 billion rupees of loot from them within three months. If I fail, I am prepared to face hardest punishment under Pakistan Penal Code.

Cabinet of penniless millionaires
ISLAMABAD: Majority if not all the federal ministers and ministers of state have grossly under-assessed their wealth, recently declared before the Election Commission of Pakistan to ensure that they don’t look fabulously rich.
Either it was their innocence or sheer shrewdness that the ministers fixed the price tag of their assets value too less than their actual market price. They were asked by the Election Commission to specify both the original cost of their assets as well as their present value. Just to quote a few examples, one refers to Omar Ayub Khan. He showed Rs 2 million as the present value of his wife’s 1/5th share of Kalsoom Plaza, Islamabad. Dr Ghazi Gulab Jamal’s house (half share) valuing Rs 50,000 in Hangu is worth seeing. He is also versatile to have his fingers in every pie but with too little investment. Maj (retd) Tahir Iqbal declares Rs 0.65 million only the present value of his Morgah Rawalpindi plot and is also without a car.
Lahore’s real estate is skyrocketing like in other major cities of Pakistan but Wasi Zafar is buying plots after plots there for just a few thousands of rupees. Amanullah Jadoon has mere Rs 3,000 worth of furniture, fittings and personal belongings in his house. Ghulam Sarwar Khan does not even have a penny in cash and also does not own jewellery. Sheikh Rashid does not know the present value of his assets so declared his luxurious and sprawling farmhouse for just Rs 0.8 million . Rashid is also in business but with just Rs 80,000 capital. He loves decorated house but his furniture and fitting articles (FFA) value is just Rs 25,000.
Sumera Malik and her DMG hubby jointly declared over Rs 120 million of assets to appear one of the richest women MPs in Pakistan. But her sister Ayla Malik because of her recently wedded hubby Sardar Yar Muhammad Rind, looks the biggest landlord MP. The Rind-Ayla couple owns enormous property, including a number of bungalows, thousands of acres of agricultural land, plots and what not but still their assets stay well below the prime minister’s declared wealth.
There are several MPs, including Sher Afgan Khan, who do not believe in keeping even a single penny as cash with them. Ghulam Bibi Bharwana has no cash, no bank balance but otherwise, a million are. Umar Ghuman is the only cabinet member who concedes to ride on 2003 model Mercedes Benz with value assessed in $ 30,000 only. However, the man enjoying luxury drive of Mercedes has the bank balance of Rs 378 only. There are few like Khurshid Mehmood Kasuri who has Rs 4.5 million in cash. Mushtaq Ali Cheema has declared Rs 68 million assets but does not own a car or jewellery. Health minister Nasir Khan has no house, no car, no FFA and lives with shares in different companies only. Interestingly his daughter Miss Salina Khan’s (a minor) share in business is far more than her parents. Sardar Muhammad Asif Nakai does not have any cash.
There are several landlords, who despite having under-assessed their wealth, emerged millionaires but owe a few hundred thousands to national banks. Rao Sikandar Iqbal has no car and like some other ministers, he has million s but owes a few lakhs to the ADBP. Makhdoom Khusro Bukhtiar also owes a few lakhs to the ADBP. Muhammad Raza Hayat Haraj’s declaration offers an interesting reading. He has though pressed the former prime minister Jamali to reduce duty on luxury vehicles (1800cc and above) but he does not have any vehicle. In his declaration Haraj proves himself generous enough to gift 100 kanals of land to his Munshi, who served the Haraj family for 50 years.
Dr Aamir Liaquat Hussain has an apartment but he lives without any FFA. Former Benazir Bhutto’s state minister Begum Shahnaz Sheikh declared to have a house abroad valuing only Rs 0.29 million .

Iam not a supporter of BB or NS.
But vast mojority of credible surveys and recent big public JALSAS that rhese are two popular leaders.
Qenchi league is just a group of LOTAS .
Musharaf and his team have done soem much devlopment , that peole are so happy, there is no law and order problem, no atta and sugar crisis, there is no poverty, everybody is getting justice at their footstep, and country is progressing. wHAT A Bull- S T from Q league .
NOmatter you and any other musharaf and qenchi/ donkey league supporter says with distorted statistical figures, there is so much anarchy, and injustice in country, Donkey RULE, that common mans life is miserable.
@Rebellion
where have u found the figures. none of these is correct. don’t trust me! just browse the economic surveys. they are always twisted but ur figures have surpassed them. For u domestic borrowing is not serious. strange.
As far the excuses for 1999-2001 are concerned, such can be claimed of the 2-” years alternate eras of 1990s. some of these may well be right. for example after nuclear tests when sanctions were clamped en masse.
For me I have no love lost for BB or NS. what is important is democracy even if it brings mujeeb or Altaf hussain. Military must not interfere. today what institution is left that one feels proud of. Even ur military is demoralized because^people no more adore them. The so called pillers of state are already down. let’s assume that mush is an angel or prophet or even more than that. The question is what if he is no more tommorrow: what legacy will he leave? VIP culture? Chak shehzad farms, subdued judiciary whose chief will be at the mercy of the executive? a rubberstamp parliament? a divisive society? or a n unsafe military who’s personnel are afraid to wear uniform outside the cantts? u may have got beneffits of his rule & u are obviously from or close feudal class of punjab but there are 3.5 other provinces in pakistan to whom now it seems that militay oligarchy & feudals is what punjab is.
LAHORE: Gujrat has everything that makes an election in rural Punjab – money, guns, police, thuggery, nazims, biradaris, and family influence. Add the name of Chaudhry Wajahat Husain to this combination and you have a compelling feeling of insecurity and fear pervading the population across the two national assembly constituencies – NA-104 (Gujrat City) and NA-105 (Jalalpur Jattan). This feeling intensifies as you move deeper into the rural parts of the district.
Try to talk Gujrat’s politics and the Jan 8 elections to the people and they would refuse to be dragged into a long conversation. The feeling of an unknown terror overtakes most of them and many would even start looking around if any one overheard the conversation. It takes quite a while and effort before somebody would begin talking, though very cautiously and without being very straightforward. Those who talk don’t give their names. They just don’t trust you.
I agree with you.
Let us have fair election. Be it BB, NS or MQM, ANP.These are geniune parties.
I have no problems with these parties.
But Q / Qenchi/ Donkey League is not a party, but a group of oppurtunistic , feudals/ billionars,/ Thugs/ Lotas/ Co operative scandlars/ Suagr AND Atta MAFIAS.
For God sake get rid of this Zila /level/ sanitary worker/ political orphans
@GM
Can’t you say something true too? As I told before, people of Pakistan are not all paindus that they can accept every lies. Let comment some of what you wrote:
AG found total loss of 65 billion in 9 ministries. Well, first of all, you could have given reference (I asked reference because some of the claims you made in later part of your post is completely lies, or twisted facts), still assuming that you wrote truth … still fact is that most of government corporate and other businesses are going through losses and it is not restricted to Musharraf rule. Actually, Pakistan steal alone use to post billions of rupees loss every year before Musharraf came to power. Wapda, KESE, PNSC, all banks … well, you name it and almost every sector under government control was making huge losses. Reason, most management appointments were political appointees plus all government sectors were used to give jobs to political workers (as if these were baap kee jageer of NS and BB).
As for Rs 65 billion … well, what I know, BB alone had fiddled over 120 billion rupees of Pakistani money and NS is not far behind looting around 90 to 100 billion rupees. What thug chailay and chamchay of these two crooks looted is beyond imagination.
Now coming to lies or twisted facts, Musharraf government borrowed 9 billion dollars. Well, Musharraf government is paying around 8 billion dollars interest every year on past debt that was around 72 billion dollars (in dollars and rupees) when Musharraf government took over. That means if Musharraf government do not borrow or pay, still Pakistani debt would have been around $150 billion (around $70 billion in dollars and around $80 billion in rupees).
Today Pakistani debt is around 82 billion dollars or increased by around 10 billion dollars (it is $40 billion in dollars and around 42 billion dollars in rupees), and that means Musharrf government in reality did not borrowed but paid around $70 billion dollars of effective debt. Just think that you borrow 7200 dollars and pay nothing. What would happen to your debt after 8 years if interest rate you pay is 10 percent? Let me help you. Your debt would increase to $15430 dollars. If after 8 years your debt increased to $8000 dollars than did you paid or borrowed? Well, let me help you again. Actually you paid a lot of interest without borrowing to keep your debt from increasing to $15430 dollars. If you had borrow than your debt would have increased even more than $15430.
Actually, apart of paying lot of interest on past debts, what Musharraf government also did is that when Pakistan economy became robust, government borrowed at lower interest rate and than used that money to retire old debts that past corrupt thugs (aks NS and BB) took at higher interest rate. So, your claim that Mush government borrowed $9 billion dollars is to fool ignorant paidnus, that’s all. If Musharraf government had borrowed $9 billion dollars than since Musharraf government is also paying $3.5 billion dollars interest on past dollar debt plus borrowing that extra, Pakistan external debt would not have been $40 billion but it would have been more than $80 billion ($38 billion would have increased to around $70 billion, plus whatever this $9 billion would have increased).
Fact is that, since Pakistan GDP has increased from $62 billion in 1999 to 146 billion dollars in 2007, federal tax collection increased from 308 billion rupees in 1999 to 846 bullion rupees in 2007, foreign exchange reserve increased from less than $1 billion dollars to over 16 billion dollars today, external trade has increased from 17 billion dollars to 55 billion dollars today, national debt that was $72 billion in 1999 is today $82 billion, means that kshkul is now broken. To understand that, you should realize that a person whose earnings has gone up by 250 percent in last 8 years but debt only 17 percent, that person obviously would be much comfortable with the debt.
30 billion loan written off: Possible, still better than several 100 billions loan written off by NS and BB mostly on political basis, not as bad debts due to business failures. You should know that when Musharraf government came to power, non performing debt was in 100s of billion and in reality it has gone down considerably (curtsey to NAB).
As for mega project, what Nawaz claims is all lies. He and BB has not started any mega projects. Throughout their rule, mega projects they started was ‘how to loot and plunder Pakistan in ingenious ways’ and transfer wealth of Pakistan into their bank accounts in western countries. Rest is all lies. I know the situation of Gwader in 1999 as there was nothing happening there neither any thing was to happen there. Past governments before Musharraf was so incompetent that they left Quiad-Mazar unfinished and they even ate that money. Yea bhookay nangay NS or BB Pakistan ka kiya ker saktay thay? In khabbeeson kee pait kee aag hee bohut thee bujhanay kay liya.
As for VIP culture, it was NS and BB that started that. Before NS and BB, even during Zia rule, VIP culture was not as deep as it became after Zia death. When Mush came to power, he also finished VIP culture. Actually, he even returned Nawaz VIP especial jumbo aircrafts to PIA and he himself stayed in army house, not even Prime Minister or President’s Residence.
It was NS (not even BB) that made his own house and Raiwand place official Prime Mini8siter residence and spent billions to get it refurbished and developed. Musharraf or even BB did not do that, neither I believe Zia, Ayub or Bhutto did that, to refurbish and develop personal residence using tax payer money.
Anyhow, I know that when thugs and his propaganda machine does propaganda, nothing stop them to ignore all reality and do buk buk without any facts. Hence let me tell you something. No one is saying that corruption in Pakistan is completely finished. It is there but in much lower scale because khabbees crooks were out of country.
Anyhow, let forget everything, just tell me that what they did with all the debt they increased …. That is from £12 billion dollars to £38 billion dollars and Rs 300 billion to Rs 1600 billion? Tell me, why Pakistan economy was bankrupt during their rule and what project they started (don’t lie, because only thing in that 11 years that happened was few 10s of miles motorway)?
Tell me what NS did with billions of dollars we Pakistanis gave him to retire debt in her ‘Qarz uttaro and mulk sawaro’ cheat slogan? Just tell us why these crooks were making Pakistanis poor and looting the country?
Tell us, why there performance in office was so pathetic that Pakistan per capita was increasing in dollar on average by 1.55 percent per year during their pathetic 11 years of rule.
And why all of a sudden, during last 8 years, under Musharraf rule, Pakistani per capita income has increased on average of 8.89 percent a year (though I have not quoted here, but actually during last period of NS, per capita income in dollars decreased). Why such big difference?
Retired musharaf is occupying army house and president house art the same time. Refurbishing army house on state expenditure. bEGUM SEHBHA has designed the kitchen and decoration. What apious man musharfAF IS. HIMSELF OCCUPYING official army cheif residence and asking constitutional judjes to vaccate official residencies. What a country. Every common man is mesmerised by musharaf era progress, all the problems have been solved, there is no jobless. WELL DONE MUSH
@democrat Pakistani
Are you calling sacked disgraced ex-CJ and his goons as constitutional judges? WHat a farce? … Bhai, residence is not baap kee jageer of these sacked judges. They are out of job and should find their own residence.
Point is that people of Pakistan want RULE OF LAW.
and first step will b the implementation of Article 6 on drunken generals and even to those like ayb zia and yahya ..by gettign out their diry bodies out of their graves and giving them the punishment AS PER THE RULE OF THE LAND.
deabte is not about personalities. When Generals are not allowed to invlove in politics as per the constitution, then there is not jsutification for their brutal actions of overthrowing any elected govt.
i wud prefer a ccivilian TARA MASEEH over thes generals.
I THINK
@ REBELLION, SIAMA KHAN AND JAVED ARE ONE PERSON WITH DIFFRENT NAMES.
T he lawyers,teachers , students, doctors the educated elite are with CJ iftikhar.
Yes i agree residence not baap ki jageer. What about army house
Well .. lagtaa tou yahi hay .. have you not seen that when they decided they hanged one idiot, kicked another out of country and pulled the ear of corrupt judge and threw him on road? Yaat aab kiya karna? taqaat bhie kuch cheezon ko baap kee jagir bana daytee hay
One thing is certain and that is, if Musharraf would like to, he can just pull the ear of these judges and would throw them on road, but these judges could not do much as long as generals are behind Mush
As for ex-disgraced CJ, I use to support him until I found that he was corrupt and not only that, but he with his chailay chamchay judges tried to become above law and accountability. He and sacked corrupt judges did not even let SJC to investigate, showing that they were bhoot of kick and did not understood the language of talk, hence they got booted out
How u oversimplified the worst situation of first 3 years of Musharraf govt.
1- No civilian govt was allowed to contiue more than 3 years, so u better comapre only first 3 years of musharraf with their govts and not 8 years.
2- After 1988 , Pakistna was under SANCTION imposed after post cold war scenario. In 1998, this situation intensified when after Nuclear bobm tests, more and more sacntions were imposed. it continued untill 9/11, after that sanctions were lifted.
So u can not comapre oranges with banans. Best comaprison is of first 3 years of musharraf with civilian govts.
Now u FORGOT to mention that before the blessing of 9/11 ( blessing for musharraf) , Pakistans GDP rate was LOWEST IN THE HISTORY OF PAKISTAN.
All MUSHARAF lovers what ever you wnat to do, do it, but be ready for accountability.
IT WONT TAKE LONG.
LOOK AT CLEAN , CORRUPTION FREE ERA, WELL DONE
EVERY PAKISTANI IS THANKFUL TO HIS HIGHNESS/ SIR/ IZZAT MAB/ BADSHA SALAMAT. No ne is safe in pakistan. EVERY DAMM THING IS CHEAP.
SOME OF MUSHARAF LOVERS ARE SO DHEET that they dont listen to logic

I think some the seats are very narrowly contested.
The real thing is last minute manipualtion in favour of Qleague.
2002 Humyun akhtar lost but in the moening was declared successful.
I THINK Q league will go for massive rigging.
In Lahore Q league is working with zila nazim support. He is doing extrabit to support Abdul aleem khan and q league younger chaudhry

December 19th, 2007 at 9:25 pm
It seems that people on this forum and Admin are living in illusive world of fool’s paradise. NS and BB are both top class thugs and not only that, but they both use to fight each other like two dogs fight each other, and under their control, their party members use to fight party members of their opponents like dogs too. Both these crooked thugs never worked for people or country. Their only purpose in power was to loot, plunder, and victimise others.
Now it would be surprises even to think that many Pakistanis would vote for them. People in Present government under Pervaiz Musharraf may have reputation of being followers of these two thugs (especially crook NS) and under these corrupt thugs (Ali -Baba and Ali-Baby) these little crooks use to steal too, but nevertheless, during years they were in power (or power by name), they did work for the people and for the country, and from their results, even if they looted, they did not looted as much as these two mega-thugs use to steal, because we (all Pakistanis) have plenty to see and feel.
I do not think that people are that fool as supporters of past two mega corrupt thugs believe and expect that people will give these crooks and their corrupt supporters (chailay chamchay) anymore chance to return bank into power to loot, plunder, and destroy the country again.
I think that at most PPP would manage to get around 45 NA seats and that also because BB supporters are more ignorant than NS, as most are illiterate Paindus and many live in pinds (villages). As for NS, if he would get even 5 seats he should do shukrana because his traditional supporters were from cities that are not as ignorant as paindu supporters of BB. I believe that unless some miracle happens, NS and BB future political career in Pakistan is Kaput … finished, unless we get another reign of corrupts and people forget what these two thugs, NS and BB did during their reign, that is loot, plunder, nepotism, mismanagement, misconduct, interference everywhere, victimising opponents, pigheadedness, ignorance and bitchiness.
I know that it would be shock to the corrupt supporters of past thugs, but believe me, in every way, these both crooked thugs, aka BB and NS are worth less than cow dung, and are almost finished in Pakistan politics, NS almost 90 percent finished whereas BB is almost 60 percent finished.
Please try to live with reality and come out of dreams … thug aur un kay satheeyon kee chandni thoray din hotie hay aur in duno kee in kay satheeyoon kay saath woh chandni hou gayee … aab in duno aur in duno kay choor sathyoon kay liya taryeeki hee taryeeki hay

It seems you are the biggest fool I have seen commenting on this website.
70% of poor Pakistanis living in rural areas have probably never heard of a guy called “Shaukat Aziz” and you think these masses will reject the popular leaders over military sponsored propaganda?

You just said the magic statement “70% of poor Pakistanis living in rural areas have probably never heard of a guy called “Shaukat Aziz
December 22nd, 2007 at 8:52 pm
I WOULD LIKE TO BRING SOME FACTS ABOUT CHOUDRIES OF GUJRAT
Probebly young generation doest know about eleder choudry known as ZHAOOR ILAHI father of shujaat Hussain.
this older choudry was police spoy and due to some fortune he was appointed as member of the borad of governer of NATIONAL BANK OF PAKISTAN then dectator ayoub khan in 1962, where as he was just matriculate.
this cruoupt choudry of Gujrat got loan of 1 crore ruppeses and never paid who case was still in process at the time of another dectator Zaiulhaq when the crupt zhoor ilahi was killed and never ever paid Rs.1 crore of 1962 ( now one can imagin the value of then Rs. 1 corore)
i am person witness of this event. when bhutto nationlized Moddren Floor mills located at Railway bridge of Bagbanpura CRUPT CHOUDRY PERVAIZ ILAHI was manger of this floor mills. upon investgations it was found that adacent KABURUSTANS LAND was gabed and added in the mills area as well as land of a wido was grabbed and added in the mills which she requested govt. to return after nationalization. Curupt. Modren floors mills also owe Rs 30 lack to the market for purchase they had made for business and they had not paid this amount. upon filing the claim floor milling corporation of Pakistan paid this amount to the market subject to adjustment againt the settelment of the price of the mills.
upon denionalization of Modren floor mills by then dectator ZIAUL HAQ, army came in August 1978 and order the staff to hand over the mills to the these crupt peoples. Manager and accoutant told the Capt. incharge of the army that they have insruction not releas the mills unless Choundry pay the full amount of 3 millions what was paid on there behlaf by the Govt.
when Manager of the mills asked Drictor Food (then) what to do, it was advised not to showup next in the mills so he can get instructionf from the government. Next day morning when manager had no show army captain showed up at Manager and accountants homes they where packed in Army jeep and brought to the Mills where this perviz ilahi was present and they were forced to sign all documents to hand of the mills without payment of 3 millions rupes ( this 1978 value) which were never paid nor widos lands were given back nor Land grab of KABRUSTAN was released
these the fact i am personally wintness and now these CRUPT CURPTS GENES OF CRUPT WANT TO PRIME minister of Pakistan
OH PEOPLES OF PAKISTAN LOOK AT
SHUJAT HUSSAIN AND PERVAIZ ILAHI NEXT TO QUAID AZAM AND SLAP ON YOURSELF ON YOUR FACE
OH ALLAH HELP US
December 22nd, 2007 at 11:48 pm
CHAUDRIES are shamefull characters of our politics.
This guy thinks running a country is like a zila council work with caste system and local plot and permit politics
BB has rightly said these or POLITICAL ORPHANS.
God save our country from people like Musharaf and chaudharies, sheik rasheed and durrani type ——————-
December 23rd, 2007 at 1:36 am
@Rasheed
I am surprised that you heard the name of a guy called ‘Shaukat Aziz’. You wrote that 70 percent of Pakistani poor Paindus have ‘probably’ never heard of a guy called ‘Shaukat Aziz’. Did you include the word ‘probably’ because of yourself?
Anyhow, do not worry. These 70 percent Paidnus you mentioned, they are also found in cities. Many village Painus would give vote to BB and many city paindus would give vote to NS … because as you said that ‘Probably’ many have not heard of a guy called ‘Shaukat Aziz’ :). But then, as once Khar said, these 70 percent Paidnus would give vote to even ‘Khamba’ if they would be asked to give vote to ‘Khamba’, than be assured that Pakistan political result would come depending on who got right ‘Khamba’.
I believe that other than doing lot of work in the country during last 8 years, Musharraf government has earned loyalty of many non-Paindu Pakistanis, Musharraf government managed to get support of many good quality ‘Khambas’ in Pinds
Chaudhary brothers may be good, bad or eveil, it does not matter, as many would not give them vote but would give vote for continuity of policies that has given Pakistan lot of developments and prosperity, and also because last two mega-thugs in power did so much looting and plundering that many do not like to see their ugly face back.
Pakistani wealth is not for BB to loot and plunder so that she can buy Diamond necklace, Surrey Palace, and numerous properties all over world from it or fill her Swiss Bank accounts, neither Pakistani wealth is for her husband to feed murabba to his horse, play polo at the expense of Pakistani poor, and do all looting and plundering Pakistani poor’s money to become dollar billionaire on looted money.
Pakistan wealth is also not for NS to loot and plunder so that he can buy flats near Hide Park, properties all over world, fill his Swiss Bank accounts, grab lands, properties and factories in Pakistan, get loan from Pakistani banks and never return, spend poor Pakistani money in treasury on his private residence in Lahore and Raiwand and worse of all, use it to grow hair on his ganja head.
Neither Pakistani institution are there so that instead of serving Pakistani poor, these khabees crooks use nepotism to fill these institutions and government jobs with their inefficient and undeserving party workers.

@Rebellion
The best I like from you “grow hair on his ganja head” . I couldn’t stop laughing.. this is so funny
Yet you ask a NS supporter he will give you a perfect logic for that . He will justify that how growing hair on ganja head is equivalent to growing democracy … not a bad argument. Let see how many will start believing it

“policies that has given Pakistan lot of developments and prosperity”????
On this forum I see now & then that musharraf developed economy but nobody precisely tell how where and in which context?
For me the driving force of economy is energy and in that sector he has been miserable. Neither a single watt of electricity has been added in 8 years nor is such a chance in coming 8 years as there is no MoU till today for future. so future govts will suffer too by this lack of vision?
Middle class has almost been eliminated from the country. Today there iare either very rich or very poor.
Infrastructure side is also not enviable, example sher sha bridge Karachi.
When it comes to comparison always compare his first 2-3 years with thoseof corrupt politicians because they got that much of continuous terms. In this context Growth rate for 1999-2002 was 1-2%.
After 9/11 he made pakistan a mistress of US and everybody knows mistresses do have money. Money flowed in the form of aid which increased the forex reserves. good thing but what efforts were made to translate all this to sustainable development.
As for corrupt politicians they always faced western sanctions as against the military govts who always had western generosity in the form of aid. and comparing govts with limited stay and comitted to nuclear program with those who make U turns is not fair.
Your general gave a 7 point agenda when he came. where is it? does he remember it.
And you will say there is no corruption. steel mills, chak shehzad, 12 may killings, DHA’s etc
The only creditable thing has been our scholarships (I thin not from Musharrafuddin’s Pocket) when money came as a result of UTurns. other than this anything? please precise.

American Aid and Grants:
Since you believe that regarding development and work done, I am exaggerating or lying … I believe that most on this forum are educated (though I know that some are paindus too, to whom bull is same as cow and I do not care about them). Hence I will give educated response. That is logical and factual full of figures.
Starting with American Aid and Grants (that what materialized over last 8 years of Mush rule): We should know that responsible personalities of country that receives aid cannot deny or lie regarding Aids and Grants because denying means calling donor country liars and since donor countries always keep record of Aids and Grants (for their own accountability in front of their own treasury), they would come with proof, would protest and would stop further Aids and Grants. Hence, here is aid and grant that Pakistan received from USA (in words of Dr Ishrat Hussain, who is was governor State Bank of Pakistan and all money that comes to country in any form use to come through his office). The Amount I am mentioning includes all type of Aids and Grants, including health and education.
Financial year 2002 (July 2001- June 2002): USA provided in the form of debt relief of $600 million … that means no cash to Pakistan, just payment related to Pakistani debt [When Musharraf government took over, Pakistan had around $70 billion debt, $38 billion in dollars, and was paying just interest of around $8 billion a year on debt taken by past governments (around $3.5 billion in dollars). This $600 million was paid by USA on behalf of Pakistan].
Financial year 2003 (July 2002- June 2003): USA used economic support fund of $186 million to retire Pakistan American debt of $1 billion. No cast to Pakistan, just write off of loan worth $186 million, to cancel $1 billion debt (because if not retired, Pakistan had to pay interest and thus it would cost Pakistan $1 billion over years).
Between FY 2004-2007 (July 2003 – June 2007 … until present) US provided:
Economic support fund: $800 million dollars as budgetary support.
Child Survival and Health Programme and (c) PL 480 Title II: $530 million.
Earth quake relief $105 millions
I ignoring amounts that USA has committed (Pakistan may receive in future).
Thus, USA helps to Pakistan through out Musharraf government, till 30 June 2007:
In the form of debt retirement and debt relief = $186 millions plus $600 millions = $786 millions dollars.
Economic support = $800 million dollars.
Child survival and Health = $530 million dollars.
Earth quake relief= $105 million dollars.
On top of that, Pakistan received military assistance of $900 million until 2007.
Total = $ 3121 million dollars of military and economical assistance (Aids and Grants). That is all, and all came after during last 6 years (at around $520 million a year).
Now apart of Aids and Grants: Apart of above: USA has been reimbursing in dollars the expenditure that Pakistan incur in supplying logistics services to US troops in Afghanistan. USA calls this reimbursement as ‘Emergency Relief Assistance’. This is not Aids or grants, but it is amount that Pakistan spends out of Pakistan own resources in rupees for providing logistic to USA and USA reimburse that. It includes food, water, oil as well as intelligence information to USA plus extra expenses Pakistan incur in making Pakistan western border secure for USA in Afghanistan. This cost Pakistan charges USA since 2002 and it comes to around $80 million dollar a month. Since 2002, Pakistan received around $4.8 billion dollars from USA. If USA stops that, Pakistan would stop all extra expenses Pakistan incurring related to this money, and that’s it.
You cannot call this Aid or grant from USA to Pakistan, as you would not call Aid and Grant to USA from Pakistan when Pakistan pays USA for military equipments or other services.
Source: http://www.dawn.com/2007/04/16/ebr3.htm
You should know that Pakistan got Aids and Grants during all past governments from USA. Only time USA banned all Aids and Grants and also forced other countries to ban any Aid and Grant to Pakistan was after Oct 1999 coup by Musgarraf (that stayed until after Sept 2001), and that was because Clinton took that coup as coup against his own person, because NS was his slave and poodle, and American warned Pakistan army several times before coup that USA would not tolerate such coup against NS. Most Aid and Grant USA gave to Pakistan was during Zia and Ayub government.

Story of Pakistan debt:
Debts carries interest plus servicing charges and that means, each year if interest and service charges are not paid than debt would increases. All Pakistani governments (AK, ZAB, Zia, NS, BB, and Mush) inherited debts and all took further loan to pay interest and service charges on past debts. Except Mush government, all took more loan than they paid in interest and service charges. Worst was corrupt government of NS and BB.
When Zia died, Pakistan debt was around Rs 300 billion plus around $12 billion. If no further debt was taken and corrupts would have let interest accumulate (borrowing to pay interest and service charges only) than Pakistan in 1999 would have had debt of around Rs 850 billion plus around $25 billion. Because these two goons took extra debt, debt when they left increased to around Rs 1600 billion plus $38 billion (before May 1998, dollar debt was $43 billion, but NS froze dollar account and switched dollar debt to Rupee debt, increasing rupee debt (@ Rs 46 per dollar) from around 1300 billion to around 1600 billion while reducing some of dollar debt. Thug NS and crook BB not only borrowed, but borrowed at very high interest rates (because their borrowing was so much and Pakistan economy was so sluggish that no one wanted to lend money to Pakistan).
When Musharraf came to power in 1999:
GDP (1999 figure): 62 billion dollars.
Federal tax collection: 1998-1999: 308 billion rupees
(Both GDP and federal tax collection was increasing at snail pace through out corrupts 11 years rule … 1988-1999)
Total (internal and external) debt: over 70 billion dollars or around 115 percent of GDP and that was around 12.3 time federal tax collection.
When Musharraf came to power, he inherited around Rs 1600 billion (internal debt) plus $38 billion (external debt). If he had taken no further debt and would have borrowed to just pay interest and services on inherited debt than today Pakistan would have had over Rs 3500 billion (internal debt) plus around $70 billion external debt. Fortunately first time sanity came to Pakistan government and Musharraf did not borrowed but changed the policy towards payment of debt and increase revenue.
GDP (2007 figures): 146.3 billion dollars
Federal tax collection: 2006-2007: 846 billion rupees
(Both GDP and federal tax collection increasing at very high space)
Total (internal and external) debt: around 80 billion dollars or around 54.5 percent of GDP and that is around 5.7 times federal tax collection (plus interest rate on these debts are much lower than NS and BB time … for instance, defence saving certificates gives around 9 percent interest, when during corrupt rule of NS and BB, defence saving certificates were giving 18 percent interest).
Data of Pakistan federal tax collection (see how slow it was increasing during corrupt rule of NS and how it started to jump increase when Musharraf took over):

Pakistan ‘GDP’ and ‘Per capita income’ growth in US dollars.

Ayub (1961-1969): Average increase per year over 11 Years
GDP: 9.4 % per year (from $3.6 billion to $9.7 billion) … … Per capita income increased @ 5 % per year [from $ 88 (1958) to $ 161 (1969)]
Bhutto (1972-1977): Average increase per year over 5 Years
GDP: 6.7 % per year (from $11.4 billion to $15.8 billion) … … Per capita income increased @ 2.97 % per year [from $184 (1972) to $ 213 (1977)]
Zia (1077-1988): Average increase per year over 11 Years
GDP: 8.8 % per year (from $15.8 billion to $40 billion) … … Per capita income increased @ 5.77 % per year [from $213 (1977) to $ 395 (1988)]
BB and NS (1988-1999): Average increase per year over 11 Years
GDP: 4.1 % per year (from $40 billion to $ 62.2 billion) … … Per capita income increased @ 1.55 % per year [from $395 (1988) to $ 468 (1999)]
Musharraf (1999-2007): Average increase per year over 8 Years
GDP: 11.3 % per year (from $62.2 billion to $ 146.3 billion) … … Per capita income increased @ 8.89 % per year [from $468 (1999) to $ 925 (2007)]
Musharraf (2002-2007): Average increase per year over 5 Years
GDP: 15 % per year (from $ 72.8 billions to $146.3 billions … … Per capita income increased @ 12.69 % per year [from $509 (2002) to $ 925 (2007)]
Base Rate: There is lot of propaganda by corrupt thugs and his goons on base rate change. Base rate changes every 5 to 10 years in most countries. It has no significant effect on data especially when figures are quoted in current values (something I quoted above). Rebasing changes the future figures of constant values as constant values are normalised to value of certain year. Before 1999 all constant values were normalised to year 1980-81 (making value of 1980-81 = 100) but from FY 1999-2000, figures are normalised to values of 1999-2000 (making value of 1999-2000 = 100). In percentage terns, effects of rebasing in constant values only happens during first year of rebasing, and after that, no effect can be seen.
Since rebasing takes time and efforts of government without any real advantage in figures for governments performance, but it is done by sincere governments who want to see new avenues to work and promote, corrupt governments (thug NS and corrupt BB) never bothered to rebase the figures, because they never cared to work for the country. It shows their incompetence as well as insincerity towards the country (Pakistan). Since Musharraf government cared and worked for the country, they did rebasing as they came into power (because it was overdue … not done for 20 years),

Moreover would u please give us the figures regarding domestic borrowing because this is the most dangerous of the debts. and last but not the least the money paid in return of guantanamo as recognized by mush in “In the line of Fire”.

@ Khizarkyz
Domestic (internal) borrowing is not as dangerous as external borrowings. We should remember that a country get into pressure on its sovereignty more because of external debt than internal debt, as excessive internal borrowing increase inflation and thus reduce the impact of internal debt on treasury, but with increase in inflation the value of currency also devalues and thus external debt keep increasing, plus to pay external debt a country needs foreign exchange that a country has to earn hard way. Though I have mentioned domestic or internal (Rupees) debt as well as external (dollar) debt in my previous posts, as you asked, I am putting it again.
You should know that inflation may seems high but over last 8 years, average inflation was much lower (average between 5 to 6 percent) compared to inflation during pervious 11 corrupt years (1988-1999) or during Zia (1977-1988) or Bhutto period (1972-1977).
External debt during corrupt duo (NS and BB) period increased from $12 billion in 1988 to $38 billion in 1999 or 317 percent in 11 years or @ 11 percent a year (compound). External debt increased from $38 billion in 1999 to around $40 billion in 2007 or @ 0.65 percent (even less than 1 percent) a year (compound) in 8 years (actually at one time external debt was decreasing).
As for domestic (or rupee) debt: In 1988, it was around Rs 300 billion
In 1999 = internal debt over Rs 1600 billion.
FY 1998-1999= federal tax collection Rs 308 billion
In 11 years, it increased by over 530 percent, or 5.3 times, or @ 16.5 percent a year (compounded). Pakistan government was paying over 15 percent interest a year on this internal debt or around Rs 250 billion a year [On defence saving certificates (18.5 percent), mahana amdani certificates (around 19 percent) and Khas deposit certificates (17 to 18 percent)]. Federal tax collection in 1999 was Rs 308 billion, and interest on internal debt (Rs 250 billion) use to consume almost 80 percent of that federal tax collection.
In 2007 = internal debt around Rs 2590 billion
FY 2006-2007 = federal tax collection Rs 846 billion
In 8 years, internal debt increased by around 61 percent, or 1.61 times, or @ 6 percent a year (compounded). It means that debt is around 3 time federal tax collection (instead of 5 times during corrupt rule). Due to huge decrease in borrowing, Mush government managed to reduce interest on internal borrowing too, and today average interest cost to Pakistan is around 5 to 6 percent (instead of 15 to 16 percent during rule of corrupts). Present government discourages investment on government saving certificates (as it pays higher interest due to people got used to it).
Federal tax collection in 2007 was Rs 946 billion, and interest on internal debt (less than Rs 150 billion), thus interest on internal debt now consumes less than 18 percent of federal tax collection, leaving a lot to spend on other things.
As for 1999 to 2002 figures (first three years of Musharraf rule), this period was mostly used by Mush government to reorganize economy. Sept 2001 attack on Afghanistan also affected Pakistan economy, as external trade and internal economical activities got affected (opposition use to shout that Pakistan lost 10 billion dollars due to ‘9-11’ event and American attack on Afghanistan). One can see the affect easily on federal tax collection that increased very little during FT 2001-2002 (year after 11th Sept event). Still, overall economical growth, federal tax collections, as well as other economical activities in Pakistan were substantially better during these 3 years than 11 years (1988-1999) of corrupt rule.
I have given figures in my previous post for these three years too. You can see the figures of Pakistan from 1999-2007, that is still much better than figures of Ayub Khan, Zia, Bhutto or 11 years of corrupts (BB and NS).
I used dollars as dollar figures to extend neutralized the effect of inflation and dollar is the currency world economy is measured.
Musharraf (1999-2007): Average increase per year over 8 Years
GDP: 11.3 % per year (from $62.2 billion to $ 146.3 billion) … … Per capita income increased @ 8.89 % per year [from $468 (1999) to $ 925 (2007)]
Compare that with any of past regimes, from Ayub Khan to corrupt duo (NS and BB) and you will find that quite good.
Musharraf period (1999-2007): 8 years
GDP increased @ 11.3 percent a year
Per Capita income increased @ 5 percent a year.
Ayub Khan (1958-1969): 11 years
GDP increased @ 9.4 percent a year
Per Capita income increased @ 5 percent a year.
Bhutto (1972-1977): 5 years
GDP increased @ 6.7 percent a year
Per Capita income increased @ 2.97 percent a year.
Zia (1977-1988): 11 years
GDP increased @ 8.8 percent a year
Per Capita income increased @ 5.77 percent a year.
Corrupt duo … BB and NS (1988-1999): 11 years
GDP increased @ 4.1 percent a year
Per Capita income increased @ 1.55 percent a year.
Here are Musharraf breakdown for first 3 years and later years.
Musharraf (1999-2007): Average increase per year over 8 Years

The Auditor General of Pakistan has found a total loss of 65 billion rupees in nine ministries, including Trading Corporation of Pakistan, National Tanker Company, Pakistan National Shipping Corporation and PIA during the rule of General Musharraf. This huge amount was looted under of General Musharraf and nobody bothered to care. Is this the performance that Pervez Musharraf takes pride in, and calls it better than that of political rulers?
General Pervez Musharraf never tires of calling his system of local government the panacea of all ills. However, the Auditor General has pointed out corruption of Rs. 633.7 million in just one year in Punjab districts. An audit covering three-and-a-half years accounts of Punjab local governments would prove billion lost due to corruption, another matter of pride for General Musharraf.
Foreign loans of $9 billion
Boasting about economic achievements of his government, General Musharraf also repeatedly claims of having broken the begging bowl. However, Financial Ministry sources have revealed that the government acquired nine billion dollars in loans from foreign institutions during the first four-and-a-half years of its rule. Where is the broken begging bowl of which general Musharraf is so proud?
Postponement of Mega Projects and Losses
Nawaz Sharif government had initiated a large number of mega projects including Gwadar Port, Ghazi Barotha Project, Islamabad Air Port, Pindi Bhattian-Faislaabad Motorway, Apna Ghar Scheme, Indus Highway and Makran Coastal Highway. General Musharraf put all these projects on hold after usurping power causing rise in costs, and the national exchequer was burdened with 150 billion rupees, for which he alone is responsible. Is that a laudable performance?
Rs. 30 billion loans written off
During the first three years of his rule, General Musharraf wrote off loans worth Rs. 30 billion due from big borrowers. No democratic government in ten years could match that performance!
The value of non-performing loans rose by Rs. 52 billion during the first four years of Musharraf rule, while the loan default rose by 21 billion rupees.
Nawaz Sharif reduced annual expenses of the Prime Minister House to 160 million rupees down from 320million, but General Musharraf again ordered an increase to Rs. 850 million.
VIP Culture
Nawaz Sharif had abolished the VIP culture, but General Musharraf not only revived it but also expanded it.
Role of the NAB
General Pervez Musharraf had claimed that NAB was an effective instrument against corruption, and that it would wipe out corruption. However, he refused to abide by the Supreme Court ruling regarding NAB, and used it to force change of loyalties. Is that the reason why many people facing NAB cases were appointed minister after they changed their loyalties? Many others with fake degrees are included in ruling party legislators and ministers. Siddique-ul-Farooque has already provided NAB with irrefutable evidence against Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi and Chaudhry Wajahat Hussain. But NAB has stopped all proceedings on these references under directions from General Musharraf. Recently, NAB’s Additional Director Major (retired0 M. A. Lodhi was caught with 400 million rupees that he had received as bribe. He has been caught because he allegedly did not share the money with others. In fact NAB is full of black sheep from top to bottom. Instead of eliminating corruption, it continues to be involved in corruption worth billions. I challenge that if former NAB chief Khalid Maqbool, former Prosecutor General Farooq Adam, Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, Chaudhry Wajahat Hussain, Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, Owais Leghari and the existing NAB officials named by me are handed over to me with powers o0f the NAB chief, I will recover 20 billion rupees of loot from them within three months. If I fail, I am prepared to face hardest punishment under Pakistan Penal Code.

An interesitn article..The News, December 26, 2004
Cabinet of penniless millionaires
ISLAMABAD: Majority if not all the federal ministers and ministers of state have grossly under-assessed their wealth, recently declared before the Election Commission of Pakistan to ensure that they don’t look fabulously rich.
Either it was their innocence or sheer shrewdness that the ministers fixed the price tag of their assets value too less than their actual market price. They were asked by the Election Commission to specify both the original cost of their assets as well as their present value. Just to quote a few examples, one refers to Omar Ayub Khan. He showed Rs 2 million as the present value of his wife’s 1/5th share of Kalsoom Plaza, Islamabad. Dr Ghazi Gulab Jamal’s house (half share) valuing Rs 50,000 in Hangu is worth seeing. He is also versatile to have his fingers in every pie but with too little investment. Maj (retd) Tahir Iqbal declares Rs 0.65 million only the present value of his Morgah Rawalpindi plot and is also without a car.
Lahore’s real estate is skyrocketing like in other major cities of Pakistan but Wasi Zafar is buying plots after plots there for just a few thousands of rupees. Amanullah Jadoon has mere Rs 3,000 worth of furniture, fittings and personal belongings in his house. Ghulam Sarwar Khan does not even have a penny in cash and also does not own jewellery. Sheikh Rashid does not know the present value of his assets so declared his luxurious and sprawling farmhouse for just Rs 0.8 million . Rashid is also in business but with just Rs 80,000 capital. He loves decorated house but his furniture and fitting articles (FFA) value is just Rs 25,000.
Sumera Malik and her DMG hubby jointly declared over Rs 120 million of assets to appear one of the richest women MPs in Pakistan. But her sister Ayla Malik because of her recently wedded hubby Sardar Yar Muhammad Rind, looks the biggest landlord MP. The Rind-Ayla couple owns enormous property, including a number of bungalows, thousands of acres of agricultural land, plots and what not but still their assets stay well below the prime minister’s declared wealth.
There are several MPs, including Sher Afgan Khan, who do not believe in keeping even a single penny as cash with them. Ghulam Bibi Bharwana has no cash, no bank balance but otherwise, a million are. Umar Ghuman is the only cabinet member who concedes to ride on 2003 model Mercedes Benz with value assessed in $ 30,000 only. However, the man enjoying luxury drive of Mercedes has the bank balance of Rs 378 only. There are few like Khurshid Mehmood Kasuri who has Rs 4.5 million in cash. Mushtaq Ali Cheema has declared Rs 68 million assets but does not own a car or jewellery. Health minister Nasir Khan has no house, no car, no FFA and lives with shares in different companies only. Interestingly his daughter Miss Salina Khan’s (a minor) share in business is far more than her parents. Sardar Muhammad Asif Nakai does not have any cash.
There are several landlords, who despite having under-assessed their wealth, emerged millionaires but owe a few hundred thousands to national banks. Rao Sikandar Iqbal has no car and like some other ministers, he has million s but owes a few lakhs to the ADBP. Makhdoom Khusro Bukhtiar also owes a few lakhs to the ADBP. Muhammad Raza Hayat Haraj’s declaration offers an interesting reading. He has though pressed the former prime minister Jamali to reduce duty on luxury vehicles (1800cc and above) but he does not have any vehicle. In his declaration Haraj proves himself generous enough to gift 100 kanals of land to his Munshi, who served the Haraj family for 50 years.
Dr Aamir Liaquat Hussain has an apartment but he lives without any FFA. Former Benazir Bhutto’s state minister Begum Shahnaz Sheikh declared to have a house abroad valuing only Rs 0.29 million .

@ Rebellion
Iam not a supporter of BB or NS.
But vast mojority of credible surveys and recent big public JALSAS that rhese are two popular leaders.
Qenchi league is just a group of LOTAS .
Musharaf and his team have done soem much devlopment , that peole are so happy, there is no law and order problem, no atta and sugar crisis, there is no poverty, everybody is getting justice at their footstep, and country is progressing. wHAT A Bull- S T from Q league .
NOmatter you and any other musharaf and qenchi/ donkey league supporter says with distorted statistical figures, there is so much anarchy, and injustice in country, Donkey RULE, that common mans life is miserable.
Supporting Musharaf and his team is a big SIN

@Rebellion
where have u found the figures. none of these is correct. don’t trust me! just browse the economic surveys. they are always twisted but ur figures have surpassed them. For u domestic borrowing is not serious. strange.
As far the excuses for 1999-2001 are concerned, such can be claimed of the 2-” years alternate eras of 1990s. some of these may well be right. for example after nuclear tests when sanctions were clamped en masse.
For me I have no love lost for BB or NS. what is important is democracy even if it brings mujeeb or Altaf hussain. Military must not interfere. today what institution is left that one feels proud of. Even ur military is demoralized because^people no more adore them. The so called pillers of state are already down. let’s assume that mush is an angel or prophet or even more than that. The question is what if he is no more tommorrow: what legacy will he leave? VIP culture? Chak shehzad farms, subdued judiciary whose chief will be at the mercy of the executive? a rubberstamp parliament? a divisive society? or a n unsafe military who’s personnel are afraid to wear uniform outside the cantts? u may have got beneffits of his rule & u are obviously from or close feudal class of punjab but there are 3.5 other provinces in pakistan to whom now it seems that militay oligarchy & feudals is what punjab is.

ELECTION DAIRY: Everything is fear in an election
By Nasir Jamal
LAHORE: Gujrat has everything that makes an election in rural Punjab – money, guns, police, thuggery, nazims, biradaris, and family influence. Add the name of Chaudhry Wajahat Husain to this combination and you have a compelling feeling of insecurity and fear pervading the population across the two national assembly constituencies – NA-104 (Gujrat City) and NA-105 (Jalalpur Jattan). This feeling intensifies as you move deeper into the rural parts of the district.
Try to talk Gujrat’s politics and the Jan 8 elections to the people and they would refuse to be dragged into a long conversation. The feeling of an unknown terror overtakes most of them and many would even start looking around if any one overheard the conversation. It takes quite a while and effort before somebody would begin talking, though very cautiously and without being very straightforward. Those who talk don’t give their names. They just don’t trust you.
“You tell me who you want me to vote for?,

@GM
As I told before, people of Pakistan are not all paindus that they can accept every lies. Let comment some of what you wrote:
Can’t you say something true too?
AG found total loss of 65 billion in 9 ministries. Well, first of all, you could have given reference (I asked reference because some of the claims you made in later part of your post is completely lies, or twisted facts), still assuming that you wrote truth … still fact is that most of government corporate and other businesses are going through losses and it is not restricted to Musharraf rule. Actually, Pakistan steal alone use to post billions of rupees loss every year before Musharraf came to power. Wapda, KESE, PNSC, all banks … well, you name it and almost every sector under government control was making huge losses. Reason, most management appointments were political appointees plus all government sectors were used to give jobs to political workers (as if these were baap kee jageer of NS and BB).
As for Rs 65 billion … well, what I know, BB alone had fiddled over 120 billion rupees of Pakistani money and NS is not far behind looting around 90 to 100 billion rupees. What thug chailay and chamchay of these two crooks looted is beyond imagination.
Now coming to lies or twisted facts, Musharraf government borrowed 9 billion dollars. Well, Musharraf government is paying around 8 billion dollars interest every year on past debt that was around 72 billion dollars (in dollars and rupees) when Musharraf government took over. That means if Musharraf government do not borrow or pay, still Pakistani debt would have been around $150 billion (around $70 billion in dollars and around $80 billion in rupees).
Today Pakistani debt is around 82 billion dollars or increased by around 10 billion dollars (it is $40 billion in dollars and around 42 billion dollars in rupees), and that means Musharrf government in reality did not borrowed but paid around $70 billion dollars of effective debt. Just think that you borrow 7200 dollars and pay nothing. What would happen to your debt after 8 years if interest rate you pay is 10 percent? Let me help you. Your debt would increase to $15430 dollars. If after 8 years your debt increased to $8000 dollars than did you paid or borrowed? Well, let me help you again. Actually you paid a lot of interest without borrowing to keep your debt from increasing to $15430 dollars. If you had borrow than your debt would have increased even more than $15430.
Actually, apart of paying lot of interest on past debts, what Musharraf government also did is that when Pakistan economy became robust, government borrowed at lower interest rate and than used that money to retire old debts that past corrupt thugs (aks NS and BB) took at higher interest rate. So, your claim that Mush government borrowed $9 billion dollars is to fool ignorant paidnus, that’s all. If Musharraf government had borrowed $9 billion dollars than since Musharraf government is also paying $3.5 billion dollars interest on past dollar debt plus borrowing that extra, Pakistan external debt would not have been $40 billion but it would have been more than $80 billion ($38 billion would have increased to around $70 billion, plus whatever this $9 billion would have increased).
Fact is that, since Pakistan GDP has increased from $62 billion in 1999 to 146 billion dollars in 2007, federal tax collection increased from 308 billion rupees in 1999 to 846 bullion rupees in 2007, foreign exchange reserve increased from less than $1 billion dollars to over 16 billion dollars today, external trade has increased from 17 billion dollars to 55 billion dollars today, national debt that was $72 billion in 1999 is today $82 billion, means that kshkul is now broken. To understand that, you should realize that a person whose earnings has gone up by 250 percent in last 8 years but debt only 17 percent, that person obviously would be much comfortable with the debt.
30 billion loan written off: Possible, still better than several 100 billions loan written off by NS and BB mostly on political basis, not as bad debts due to business failures. You should know that when Musharraf government came to power, non performing debt was in 100s of billion and in reality it has gone down considerably (curtsey to NAB).
As for mega project, what Nawaz claims is all lies. He and BB has not started any mega projects. Throughout their rule, mega projects they started was ‘how to loot and plunder Pakistan in ingenious ways’ and transfer wealth of Pakistan into their bank accounts in western countries. Rest is all lies. I know the situation of Gwader in 1999 as there was nothing happening there neither any thing was to happen there. Past governments before Musharraf was so incompetent that they left Quiad-Mazar unfinished and they even ate that money. Yea bhookay nangay NS or BB Pakistan ka kiya ker saktay thay? In khabbeeson kee pait kee aag hee bohut thee bujhanay kay liya.
As for VIP culture, it was NS and BB that started that. Before NS and BB, even during Zia rule, VIP culture was not as deep as it became after Zia death. When Mush came to power, he also finished VIP culture. Actually, he even returned Nawaz VIP especial jumbo aircrafts to PIA and he himself stayed in army house, not even Prime Minister or President’s Residence.
It was NS (not even BB) that made his own house and Raiwand place official Prime Mini8siter residence and spent billions to get it refurbished and developed. Musharraf or even BB did not do that, neither I believe Zia, Ayub or Bhutto did that, to refurbish and develop personal residence using tax payer money.
Anyhow, I know that when thugs and his propaganda machine does propaganda, nothing stop them to ignore all reality and do buk buk without any facts. Hence let me tell you something. No one is saying that corruption in Pakistan is completely finished. It is there but in much lower scale because khabbees crooks were out of country.
Anyhow, let forget everything, just tell me that what they did with all the debt they increased …. That is from £12 billion dollars to £38 billion dollars and Rs 300 billion to Rs 1600 billion? Tell me, why Pakistan economy was bankrupt during their rule and what project they started (don’t lie, because only thing in that 11 years that happened was few 10s of miles motorway)?
Tell me what NS did with billions of dollars we Pakistanis gave him to retire debt in her ‘Qarz uttaro and mulk sawaro’ cheat slogan? Just tell us why these crooks were making Pakistanis poor and looting the country?
Tell us, why there performance in office was so pathetic that Pakistan per capita was increasing in dollar on average by 1.55 percent per year during their pathetic 11 years of rule.
And why all of a sudden, during last 8 years, under Musharraf rule, Pakistani per capita income has increased on average of 8.89 percent a year (though I have not quoted here, but actually during last period of NS, per capita income in dollars decreased). Why such big difference?

@democrat Pakistani
… Bhai, residence is not baap kee jageer of these sacked judges. They are out of job and should find their own residence.
Are you calling sacked disgraced ex-CJ and his goons as constitutional judges? WHat a farce?
December 23rd, 2007 at 5:49 pm
@ Rebelllion of law
wat abt drunken FA pass generals
paksitan is their baap ki jaaegeer? that ther r occupying agri lands, plots .
wat abt \Busharraf, why he is not vacating army hosue after his second retirement.
i think these generals r waiting frothe day when eople of paksitan will hang them with poles out side these askari villas and this time is not so far.
and BATMAN like u will b the first casuality.
and do u think DOG..ar is a real CJ??

@ Rebillion
Point is that people of Pakistan want RULE OF LAW.
and first step will b the implementation of Article 6 on drunken generals and even to those like ayb zia and yahya ..by gettign out their diry bodies out of their graves and giving them the punishment AS PER THE RULE OF THE LAND.
deabte is not about personalities. When Generals are not allowed to invlove in politics as per the constitution, then there is not jsutification for their brutal actions of overthrowing any elected govt.
i wud prefer a ccivilian TARA MASEEH over thes generals.
December 23rd, 2007 at 5:57 pm
I THINK
@ REBELLION, SIAMA KHAN AND JAVED ARE ONE PERSON WITH DIFFRENT NAMES.
T he lawyers,teachers , students, doctors the educated elite are with CJ iftikhar.
Yes i agree residence not baap ki jageer. What about army house
I THNK YOU GUYS DONT DESERVE A LOGICAL ANSWER
December 23rd, 2007 at 5:59 pm
Well .. lagtaa tou yahi hay
.. have you not seen that when they decided they hanged one idiot, kicked another out of country and pulled the ear of corrupt judge and threw him on road? 
Yaat aab kiya karna? taqaat bhie kuch cheezon ko baap kee jagir bana daytee hay 
One thing is certain and that is, if Musharraf would like to, he can just pull the ear of these judges and would throw them on road, but these judges could not do much as long as generals are behind Mush
As for ex-disgraced CJ, I use to support him until I found that he was corrupt and not only that, but he with his chailay chamchay judges tried to become above law and accountability. He and sacked corrupt judges did not even let SJC to investigate, showing that they were bhoot of kick and did not understood the language of talk, hence they got booted out

@ Rebillion
How u oversimplified the worst situation of first 3 years of Musharraf govt.
1- No civilian govt was allowed to contiue more than 3 years, so u better comapre only first 3 years of musharraf with their govts and not 8 years.
2- After 1988 , Pakistna was under SANCTION imposed after post cold war scenario. In 1998, this situation intensified when after Nuclear bobm tests, more and more sacntions were imposed. it continued untill 9/11, after that sanctions were lifted.
So u can not comapre oranges with banans. Best comaprison is of first 3 years of musharraf with civilian govts.
Now u FORGOT to mention that before the blessing of 9/11 ( blessing for musharraf) , Pakistans GDP rate was LOWEST IN THE HISTORY OF PAKISTAN.
