Zardari broke ANOTHER big promise

Asalaamu-Alykum

Asif Ali Zardari, co-chairman of the Pakistan People's Party, has recently called his promise to restore the supreme court judges a "political statement"(1), What implication does this has on the future of Pakistan, and what does it show about his personality?

First of all, the title refers to the breaking of Another Promise, Those of you that might not remember, I also criticized him for his famous lack-of-loyalty towards Benazir Bhutto, where he didn't even mourn long enough for a man who's wife has just been murdered--forget mourning for the leader of a nation-- earning the suspicion of being involved in Benazir's Assassination.

Pakistan's supreme court judges were suspended on November 3, 2007 under the P.C.O. and Asif Ali Zardari made a promise to restore them within 3o days of first parliament session. Now he has dubbed this promise as a political statement undermining the the trust of the whole nation. Also sending a message that they should expect him to lie and make false promises only to get votes.

Should such a person be the leader of a party that was founded by the person who wrote the constitution of the country, this proves my original point that today's PPP is not the same PPP that Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto founded. Today's Pakistan People’s Party cares neither about Pakistan nor about its people only about the party. Asif Ali Zardari is a lier, a cheat and will do anything for his personal gains maybe those charges of corruption against him were true?

Benazir Bhutto, Shaheed???

Asalaamu-Alykum

After the assassination of Pakistan's Ex-Premier Benazir Bhutto, the media as well as the political party of which she was the leader of, Pakistan People' Party, have give her the title of shaheed. Since then she has been referred to as Benazir Bhutto Shaheed. Most people out of respect or just being blind supporters of Benazir Bhutto and/or the PPPP have accepted the title without giving it much thought, the meaning behind the title and what it means.

Shaheed, literally is an Arabic words meaning witness, but in Islam it refers to a person who has lost his/her life wither during a war for Islam or lost his life while he was out doing something for Allah. Benazir Bhutto lost her life while she was campaigning for herself to win the seat of the Prime Minister of Pakistan, from which she was removed twice for corruption.

keeping those facts in mind the only way she can be called a Shaheed is if she had cleansed herself from the alleged corruption, which was the cause for her exile by 3 different Pakistani Presidents. In addition to being purified from corruption, her only goal in running for the Prime Minister of Pakistan must've been to please Allah. If she had satisfied both of these condition, then and only then is she a shaheed. Did she satisfy these conditions? Is she a shaheed? The judge of that shall be Allah, and only Allah knows if she is shaheed, and if her supposed Shahadat is accepted.

Pakistan??? People's??? Party!

Asalaamu-Alykum

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, was appointed the chairman of the Pakistan People’s Party. Decisions like this make you wonder If Pakistan’s People Party is really a people Party of a Bhutto Party. Appointment of Bilawal as the chairman of party means that there is no one more capable of leading the party than a 19 year old boy, who has spent most of his life overseas, away from Pakistan, surrounded by amenities of luxury that most Pakistani people can’t even imagine. They only reason he has been appointed the chairman of the party is to exploit the name of the Bhutto.

But, Little do they know that Bhutto is not Bhutto is not Bhutto, One Bhutto is not the same as another Bhutto. On one spectrum we have Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and other Bhutto’s can’t even measure up to qualities of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was a leader of Pakistan, founder of Pakistan People’s Party and when he said People’s Party he meant People’s Party. Despite having air conditioned residences in England and other parts of the world, he would Bring his Daughter Pinky, A.K.A. Benazir Bhutto, to the Hot Summers of Pakistan to make she feels the same the heat that Pakistani People feel so they can actually understand the people’s point of view thus making her a better leader of Pakistan PEOPLE’S Party. While Benazir spent most of her life outside of Pakistan weather living in Father’s Mansions or Exile.

Using of Bhutto name for political purposes righter the death of the daughter of seconds greatest leader of Pakistan, (First being Quaid-E-Azam, Muhammad Ali Jinnah), is third class and degraded move my Pakistan People Party. Another thing that Pakistan People’s Party has done that shows their seriousness towards their word to the Nation is when they said that we’ll mourn for 40 days and during that period all campaigning will be stopped, but they forgot about that decision even before the 4^th day was up. Pakistan People’s Party could has stopped the havoc that was going on the nation, by just going public and advising people that destruction of property is bad for Pakistan, Instead they decided to use the public rage to their advantage even if it meant Pakistan suffering a huge loss. I guess Pakistan People’s Party cares neither about Pakistan nor about its people only about the party.

P.S. I did not mean to speak ill of dead not bad mouth Benazir, but only expose the actions of the Pakistan People's Party that may have been overlooked by Pakistanis affected by the sudden and tragic loss of Benazir Bhutto.

PIA, "The best waste of resources"

Asalaamu-Alykum,


Pakistan International Airlines, the the first Asian airline to granted FAA's maintenance approval, the first airline in world to have a scheduled helicopter service, and and PIA was the one to introduce a computer to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan when it installed an IBM1401, and not only that amongst many of the things it is known for is being the first airline that had in-flight movies on international routes. Looking at all these records one easily wonders what happened to PIA? Why did PIA go from being an innovator of idea, and a leader in industry to being in debt Rs. 28 bn?

Well the answer is simple, waste, wasting of resources, wasting money and not managing it well. Most of it comes in the form of having too many employees. PIA with only 42(43 after the delivery of Boeing 777-300ER in 2008) aircrafts flying to 66 destinations have close to 20,000 employees. While Japan Airlines, Asia's biggest airline has 135 aircrafts, 75 additional aircrafts that have been ordered and flies to nearly double, 125 destinations and still only has less than 18,000 employees.

All those employees, you'd think PIA get more work done, but not really. More than half of my experiences with PIA flights have been more than 7 hours late. Even with extra 14,000 employees PIA still can not get http://www.piac.com.pk to work properly, it is inconvenient, tedious, lacks information and I don't think it is ever updated.

There is a simple solution replace, delayer and downsize/expand, First step is to replace top management bring in some fresh minds with fresh ideas so PIA can be industry leader again. Next step delayer remove the different hierarchal positions to make communications faster and more reliable. Last step is downsize/expand, in other words buy more aircrafts to develop new routes to utilize the current good employees while downsizing and getting rid of the least productive employees, and Inshallah Pakistan International Airline will again become an industry leader it was.

E.U. Lifts ban on Eleven PIA Planes

Asalaamu-Alykum,


Pakistan International Airlines, was banned to fly into the European Union, consequentially PIA ended up losing more than Rs. 26.5 Billion. But recently European Union has lifted the ban from 11 additional airplanes.


A report published on July 5, 2007 in the Official Journal of the European Union stated "it is assessed that Pakistan International Airlines should be allowed to operate to the Community[European Union]." Now PIA, in addition to its Boeing 777s will now also be able to fly three of its Boeing 747-300's, each of which can carry 433 passengers, Two Boeing 747-200's, Which are configured to carry 298 passengers each, and Six Airbus 310's, which has the capacity to carry 198 passengers each.

With Pakistan 8* Boeing 777's including four 200-ER's able to hold 329 passengers each, two 200-LR's configured to seat 310 passengers each and two huge 300-ER which can carry 393 passengers per flight, after the completion of the procedures required by European Union Pakistan International Airline will have permission to fly 19 out of its 42 airplanes.

Even though the ban have been lifted it is not sure when PIA will be able to meet certified criteria, and resume its flights to European union. Once they do, it will again provide more competition and thus lower airfares for the customers.
