Case Study of Economic Hitmen of 2018 Pakistan

[To understand the context of this post, please read At What Cost! Why Compute Economic Costs of Faulty Political Decisions]

DoN (Doctrine of Necessity) Godfather Saqib Nisar along with NAB and IMF led IK government as Economic Hitmen: Their witch hunt of greatly respected Dr Saeed Akhtar PKLIC, Dr Ismail Shah PTA, Dr Umar Saif PITB, Engr Imran Shaikh PSO and others represent very carefully selected targets to create a mass disillusionment of leading professionals in public and private sector with the objective of stultifying the fundamentals of infrastructure growth and maturity.

• Dr Saeed Akhtar was hit because of his leadership in health sector, his great respect in medical professionals and his deep links in the philanthropic expatriate resourceful community of doctors in USA and West. See Targeting of PKLI. His treatment resulted in scores of qualified doctors and surgeons who had come from  USA to return back. Contrast this destruction of Lahore institute with Sindh Government's Gambat Institute's success where hundreds of transplants are being done. 
• Dr Ismail Shah was selected as a target to cripple and stultify the technical bureaucracy and highly qualified professionals in private sector working in telecommunications sector. This was done in a coordinated planned manner as seen from the various cases initiated on a single day as reported in  August 2018 Dawn  report.
• Dr Umar Saif was selected as a target based on his excellent e-Government initiatives in public infrastructure for e-stamps, e-property registrations, e-monitoring of public education schools, teachers as well as public health and hospitals and e-tracking of medicines supply chain, dengue control dashboard connected with all government hospitals providing instantaneous figures, etc. Each such initiative was instrumental in providing efficiency in government and improving service delivery, and was being acquired and implemented in other provinces. He had to step down unceremoniously as his vision for increasing software exports and increasing government efficiency had to be stifled. 
• Engr Imran Shaikh was selected because of his great respect in engineering sector and his commendable achievements. His humiliation at the hands of DoN PCO Judge Saqib Nisar was a perfect hit to demoralize the energy sector professionals who tirelessly worked to overcome the severe energy shortages of 20 hours load shedding in 2013 to energy surplus in 2018

• Economic hit on CPEC
• Opening salvo against CPEC was made by Razak Dawood immediately after the assumption of IK's government which laid the foundation of slowing down the entire economy. 
• Despite his denials even in August 2020 CPEC has grinded down to a virtual standstill as per his unguarded comments as reported in FT. 
• CPEC is now mired in neocolonialism and Pakistan-US relations arm twisting . This may very well be the reason for "mujhe kiyon nikala".
• Economic hit on infrastructure of roads, motorways, Metropolitan mass transit......
• IK stated policy on infrastructure and roads was to invest on human development. He could not understand why investment on infrastructure is necessary. He inflicted the damage to economy by stopping or slowing all infrastructure projects. Too little too late, it is now belatedly in 2021 that IK had been finally convinced by Shaukat Tareen to restart Sukkur-Hyderabad motor way and three other motorways. 
• NAB's witch hunt of Multan Metro immediately after IK's government was installed eventually came to end dismally when China came down hard on Pakistan absolving the management of the project from any wrong doing. This was a huge embarrassment for the NAB effort. This witch hunt was instrumental in slowing down the CPEC project and creating a negative energy. 
• NAB witchhunt against the performing bureaucrats. Targeted the bureaucrats who were instrumental in completing development projects in record time. Threatening of FBR officers. Threatening of bureaucrats. Massive transfers of bureaucracy. 
• Economic hit on large scale manufacturing through the narrative of castigating and destroying the base of 80% revenues.....
• Economic hit on infrastructure of micro and small enterprises of shanty shops, hawkers, پتھارے,....
• Economic hit on infrastructure of philanthropic social service in the absence and abdication of government social services such as......
• Promise to commit suicide but not go to IMF. Asad Umar in deep neogotiations. Replaced. Development of a culture of urgency as if the world is falling down. Crescendo of voices and pressures to sign the deal. Imported from World Bank, Dr Abdul Hafeez Shaikh who was the minister during Musharraf and finance minister in Zardari tenure. Import of Dr Raza Baqir from IMF who had devastated Egypt Economy measure by measure. Fired Younish Dhaga Finance Secretary who wanted to do hard negotiations with the IMF. Signing of the ignominous contract. Autonomy to SBP. Security of tenure of SBP governor.Immunity of SBP Governor from any future litigations. Petrol price to be equal to $rate. Massive devaluation. (Had never caused increase in exports, had always increased the costs of input, electricity, gas). Restriction on government to borrow from sbp. Only to borrow from the commercial banks. Reduction of development expenditure. 

*PTI Government Completes 200 Days*:

1- More than 400 development projects have been shut down.

2- Gas tariffs have increased 143%"...

3- Electrify tariffs for domestic users increased by 300%

4- Decrease of USD 1.75 billion in foreign reserves.

5- New taxes worth PKR 178.00 billion imposed in mini budget.

6- Internal and external debt volume increased by PKR 2,000.00 billion.

7- Inflation gone up to 8.2% -- almost more then double from last year.

8- Policy rate gone up to 10.25% from 5.75% last year.

9- Tax revenue growth worst in 20 years.

10- GDP growth in a fast decline with large scale manufacturing in negative, agriculture growth almost stagnant.

11- Fiscal deficit widens significantly compared to last year. Expenditure also significantly goes up.

12- Circular debt gone up from 1.1 tr to 1.6 tr --fastest increase in our history.

14- At the end of June, PTI govt will post the highest fiscal deficit (amount wise) in our history.

15- In spite of massive devaluation, exports increased only 2% in last 8 months. Compare that with 13% increase in last fiscal year.

16- Regarding debt increases, it’s the fastest accumulation in our history in the last 7 years

17- Unemployment is rising by the day and it is expected that by fiscal year end, 600,000 Pakistanis will have lost their jobs.

18- Stock Market considered as an the indicator of any economy has almost crashed n dead with no movement n no investment coming., comparing it to last 5 years when it was the Top Performing market of the world.

19- Most alarmingx news is that due to poor economy, MORE THAN 4 MILLION PAKISTANIS WILL GO BELOW POVERTY LINE.

Even as PTI supporters we feel embarrassed with these numbers. Gone completely out of its narrative regarding its commitment of 1 crore jobs and 50 lac housing units.....

May Allah Almighty have mercy on this nation.....!!!!

Myth of Science and Technology as Panacea for our Backwardness

The mythology that has been sold to the entire Muslim world and especially in Pakistan is that our backwardness is because of our backwardness in Science and Technology. Hence, S n T became the holy grail for progress and development. Everyone is willing to invest in Science and Technology, whether it has been Zia's government and Dr. Mahboob ul Haq's drive for S n T scholarships, or whether it is the political governments of the 90s or the Musharaff era (1999-2008) when Dr Ata ur Rahman was at the helm of S n T and HEC. Funds were lavished on S n T. The underlying assumption behind this myth was that the society would magically transform itself when we have x-thousand S n T PhDs; y-thousand professors with high impact factor; n-thousand Thompson Reuters IFJ publications and z-thousand state of the arts labs spread all over the country. After spending of hundreds of billions of tax payers money we find ourselves back to the starting point.

Myth of Bigger Infrastructure Means Better Education: Quality vs Infrastructure

Myth: Bigger Infrastructure Means Better Education:

We were told that only high-quality universities should be allowed to come up. Primary criteria for high quality were the size of the campus, covered area and other brick and mortar facilities. HEC, SHEC, PHEC, CIEC and their institutional proformas are replete with questions about the size of the campus, and size of the offices for Deans, Faculty, and other officials. They ask about playgrounds, auditoriums, hostels etc. The conventional wisdom started suggesting that private sector universities starting in rented bungalows somehow will not be able to provide quality education. This argument was sold in spite of knowing about the history of many of our big universities now.

Traditions of Eid: Reflections of Past Eids and Future

This is a time to reflect on our traditions and culture of Eid. I am wondering how many of Pakistanis are still experiencing these. There are some disturbing posts on facebook and through some of my interactions that tell me that it is not only time to reflect but also to rekindle them through a sustained effort. Here I reflect on my life and learning over the last 55 years with many of these traditions

Chairman Salim Mehmud and my Brush with SUPARCO during the 1980s

I spent 6 months in SUPARCO in 1987 before resigning and leaving for US for PhD. They were trying to design for several years a signal-filter chip that was available for a few hundred rupees in Saddar. We had nothing to do in the Computer Department where I was working. The commute time from City to Factory in Somiani was about 1.5hrs. Vans will come and pick us up early in the morning before 6. We were pretty tired and sleepy as we reach the factory at around 7am. Often the department employees would spread the packing material and sleep in the corners behind computers in the chilled computer center. The enterprising among us would sit on Autocad and design fun machine diagrams such as Space Shuttle (only its drawing, not the technical construction). The higher management was busy in making indents for purchasing materials and equipment. Their interest appeared more to be in commissions than in the usage of equipment. One could see expensive equipment lying around rotting.  Ran typically as a bureaucratic organization, the objective of the top management was not to allow people to work. So everyone was doing nothing but looking busy. Chairman was Dr Salim Mehmud, who was at the helm of affairs for around a decade. I think his mandate was neither to do any thing nor allow any one to do anything. Once in early 1980s, much before joining SUPARCO, while I was still a student of engineering and was a regular member and visitor of American Center, Dr Salim Mehmud was invited as a guest speaker at American Center Science Club. After his presentation there, I asked him a question. The question was based on science articles by Mr Azeem Quidwai in Dawn that I used to read regularly. Around that time, I had read some articles about the satellite slots allotted to Pakistan, which if not utilized, would be lost. The question that I asked was given that there is only limited space available for geostationary satellites,  why Pakistan had not occupied the 3 spaces allotted to it. Pakistan had at that time already lost some allotted space or was about to lose some. He got angry at my question, and instead of replying effectively shut me down. At that time I was too young (around 21) to understand what was in the question that irritated him so much! It was much later that I realized the question was actually pointing out his key weakness. I recall we were left with only one last space in 1999-2000. I remember Mr  Salman Ansari, Advisor to Dr Ata Ur Rahman, managed to get a dying satellite moved to this space just to fill and occupy the space up till such time a worthy satellite could be acquired and moved into that slot.

5 Challenges for Designing your Professional Lives

Faculty, Parents and my dear students:

As I look at your beaming faces full of hope and aspirations and great expectations of your future after four years of university life, I first invite you to try to soak in this environment of this marvelous infrastructure at IoBM. You are sitting in the building which is name after the founder president of this institute Mr Shahjehan S Karim who left for the hereafter two years ago. This campus, which is spread over 10 acres and consists of several buildings like this one, is a concrete realization of the dream of Mr Shahjehan S Karim, who envisioned IoBM to be one of the the leading institutions, nationally and internationally, renowned for its contribution to education and society. Please note that he envisioned this around 25 years ago in 1994, after he had retired from a long illustrious service with the government! Mind you, the age of 60 is the time when most think of retiring and folding up their lives with reading or writing. SSK starting a new professional endeavor and working vigorously into his 80s should be an inspiration for all of us. If he can envision such a grand project at 60 and bring it to realization over the next 20+ years, you can also dream big and work for its realization. You have much more time and energy, you are in your youthful late teens and early 20s. You are about to embark on your professional life. You too can create a similar vision and work for its realization over the rest of your life. As I say this, I am reminded of my start, some 40 years ago at NED in early 1980. For me those last 40 years have passed within a blink of an eye. I wish my professional education would have started with a concrete inspiration like this vision. But, as Mr Shehjehan S Karim's life tells us, it is never too late. [Sep 7, 2019 Orientation for Fall 2019 Intake at IoBM]

Far From the Madding Crowd, Hardy and Me

Today I got off from the board meeting early and my flight was in the evening. I had a few hours to kill with nothing to do. I chanced upon a YouTube video snippet of Bathsheba Everdene and Sergeant Troy's sword scene of 2011 remake of Far From the Madding Crowd. I didn't like it at all, there was no mystery, no suspense and no thrill that I remember experiencing when I first watched the scene in the original 1967  British movie starring Julie Christie, Alan Bates, Peter Finch and Terrance Stamp. Knowing me, YouTube presented the Terrance Stamp interview recorded just before the remake. He had played Sergeant Troy in the 1967 BBC movie. The interview opened a flood of memories flashing across my mind of the various times of my life when i had seen the movie and the times that I have read the book. It brought to my mind my struggle to derive meanings of various scenes. My first viewing was at a time when I had limited understanding of what was happening as our exposure to the themes discussed in the book were not discussed openly in my time. The book itself dealt with these themes in a roundabout manner making it difficult for school boys to fathom. I first saw the movie around 1977. I started going through the various scenes being presented by YouTube and connecting them with my earlier stage. Terrance stamp was saying that the original 1967 team involved in the movie consisted of luminaries of British Film making and were the who-is who of the British cinema. He predicted that it would be really difficult for the remake to break the spell weaved by the original. How true was that:

Forthright and Courageous Gentleman-Col Raza Kamal at KIET

Col (r) Raza Kamal from 17 Baluch (2 Sind). A thorough gentleman and a great colleague. His commitment and dedication as Director College of Management Sciences at PAF KIET was exemplary. I had a long 10+ years association as Dean n Vice president of PAF KIET with Col Raza Kamal. It started during KIET's initial years at Korangi Creek Base Campus. I had joined in Feb 2001 after leaving IBA. This time was about six months after KIET had moved to its PAF Base campus from its city campus location on Shahrah e Faisal. The campus had been vacated by CBM. KIET got the contract with PAF after after obtaining the charter. 

Col Raza had been with KIET since its inception in a Sindhi Muslim Society Banglow in 1997. When I joined PAF KIET, he was HoD of Management Science department. HoD Computer Science department was Mr Adnan Manzoor. A few months later there was a change in higher management and Air Commodore Khalid Husain took charge as the President from Mr Adnan Arabi. 

Dynamic Role of Abstract in Guiding the Flow of Writing of a PhD Dissertation

Abstract is the first thing in a dissertation that is read, and is often the last. A dissertation is at most read by 1.6 people from end to end, including the author [1]. PhD dissertation is written to enable a researcher to find all information necessary for replicating the results and understand the thesis. Hence, the detail. However, most readers are only interested in finding out a few items about the research which are typically provided in the abstract. These include the problem statement, thesis statement, contribution, and significance. Details of what a dissertation should contain has been amply documented elsewhere. In this post, I will discuss the role of abstract in guiding the flow of PhD Dissertation during its writing stage. 

Islamabad Think Tanks Running Out of Options: Tanks without Think

[To understand the context of this post, please read At What Cost! Why Compute Economic Costs of Faulty Political Decisions]
"Think-tanks" have yet again run out of options when IK exclaimed in the joint session of parliament:
ہم کیا کریں؟ کیا انڈیا سے جنگ شروع کر دیں؟
This indicates No "think", only "tanks"! It is pathetic that there are No out-of-the-box thinkers!

Is there a severe قحط الرجال and dearth of thinkers in scores of Islamabad "think-tanks"? Do these think tanks only consist of visionless ex career bureaucrats and ex generals whose distinctive qualification is often their career promotions based on a system that only rewards obeying orders diligently? What great distinguishing accomplishments of enterprising, creative, innovative breakthrough and out-of-the-box ideas in successful execution do they have in their testimonials?


They stand blinded, listless and clueless the same way they stood after 9-11 when threatened by US, and capitulating on a single call from Assistant in State Department.

Government Spending, Keynesian Economics and Pakistan's Economic Slide in 2018-19

This issue was the beginning of the start of destruction of economy. So many apparently sane people people lost it through his charisma.
We need to take a hard look at how criticism for the sake of criticism destroyed the "development" cycle of Pakistan's economy. Development expenditure on flyovers, metros, motorways etc increases the money circulation, which increases the disposable income of people, which increases the GDP, which increases the growth, which increases the tax/revenue collection of the government, which increases the "development" expenditure. This cycle was destroyed by IK and his uncouth advisors. This is macro economics 101. Take any first level textbook of economics and turn to chapter on Government Spending and growth. Grand Tabdeeli: For the first time in decades our debt is more than our GDP. A two pronged attack on economy (1) destroy GDP, (2) increase debt by the Economic Hitmen of IMF.

Credit: Dr farrukh saleem on Twitter

From Atiq Rehman's wall:

The economy, which is growing at 7%, doubles its size in 11 years. If the economy is growing at 3% then it needs about 25 years to double, while the economy growing at 1% will double in about 50 years.

Our growth rate had reached 5.8% but thanks to Tabdeeli, we everted the growth momentum back to its natural value. We are currently being counted among the slowest countries in South Asia. If this is the case, Bangladesh's income would have doubled after 8/10 years. and we???

To say the growth in Pakistan was 3% but let's look at a few facts

1. In 2018-19, 4% of Pakistani GDP was paid to banks as interest payment. The interest paid for interest in 2019-20 accounts for 5.7% of GDP. Earlier, payments to banks were 3% of GDP in 2017-18. The addition in GDP that we see, goes to banks as interest payment. Therefore, the increase in GDP for the public is almost zero.

2. The population growth rate is about 2%. Thus the increase in per capita GDP is negative

So after seven to ten years, countries like Bangladesh will have doubled their production and Pakistan will be cited as eample of depreviation and backwardness instead of Ethiopia

Imran Khan's Criteria of Fascism and Treatment of Opposition

[To understand the context of this post, please read At What Cost! Why Compute Economic Costs of Faulty Political Decisions]
Our Honorable Prime Minister Imran Khan in the recent joint session of Parliament on Kashmir's annexation by India, reminded the MNAs and Senators about Hitler's fascism and Nazi Party. He explained fascist governments are those that "drive opposition to the wall'. IK reminder comes as Déjà vu in the situation we confront. Thank you IK for reminding Pakistanis about Nazi Party's Germany: Hitler-Modi's Fascism: 1)Imprison all opposition, 2)Total censorship, 3) Dreaded SS & Gestapo agencies, 4) Forced disappearances:

How to Deal with Personal Criticism by People

Consider the posts like these running around on social media:
"If you're skinny, you need to gain weight.... If you're fat, you need to lose weight. If you smoke weed you're a druggie. If you drink, you’re an alcoholic. If you get dressed up, you are vain, If you dress down you've let yourself go. If you speak your mind, you are rude. If you don't say anything, you're snobbish. If you are sociable, you're a party animal. If you keep yourself to yourself, you’re detached. If you are young, you are immature, if you're old you're dispensable.

YOU can't do anything without being criticized. We live in a society where people can't survive if they're not judging the next person. Love me or hate me, but you will never change me. Get to know people before judging them. Let's build each other up. We are all doing the best we can, in the same game called life!!

If you're proud of who you are copy and paste this with a pic of you!!"

I'm OK, You're Not OK: My Government is OK, Your Government is Not OK (Corrupt)

I am OK, You are not OK: I am (my government is) OK, you (opposition) are not OK (corrupt)
This refers to Harris' acclaimed book "I'm OK, You're OK" (psychology, self help to help people grow out of childhood into adulthood: It discusses the psychology of a child as it grows up to become an adult. The mental state of a person can be explained using these four states: (1) I'm OK, You're OK, (2) I'm OK, You're not OK, (3) I'm not OK, You're OK, and (4) I'm not OK, You're not OK.

Afghanistan and Pakistan in 2019

آج وطن پرستوں سے مکالمہ
"یہ افغانی ہمارے ملک کا کھاتے ہیں اور سپورٹ افغانستان کو کرتے ہیں۔"

"تماری طرح وہ بھی اللہ کا دیا کھاتے ہیں، اپنی تقدیر کا کھاتے ہیں، کوئی کسی کے حصے کا نہیں کھاتا۔ اللہ کی زمین پر رہتے ہیں، تمہاری ملکیت پر نہیں رہتے۔ جب کوئی پاکستانی برطانیہ، آسٹریلیا، نیوزی لینڈ میں رہ کر وہاں کی شہریت لے کر پاکستانی ٹیم کو سپورٹ کرتا ہے تب تمہارے پیٹ میں مروڑ کیوں نہیں اٹھتی؟"

"لیکن یہ غدار ہیں، یہ ہمارے ملک میں دھشتگردی لائے، منشیات لائے۔ ہم نے ان کو پناہ دی اور یہ اب بھارت کے حواری بن بیٹھے۔"

"دھشتگری امریکی جنگ سے آئی جسے تم اپنی جنگ کہتے نہیں تھکتے ورنہ اس سے پہلے افغان سرحد تمہاری سب سے محفوظ سرحد تھی۔ طالبان تمہاری دوست حکومت تھی جو افغانستان میں امن قائم کر چکی تھی، منشیات کی کاشت ختم کر چکی تھی۔ تم نے نیشنلزم کے نام پر اس دوست ریاست کی بلی چڑھائی اور جب اس کے نتیجے میں امریکی نواز حکومت قائم ہوئی اور اس کا جھکاو بھارت کی طرف ہوا تو تم نے اپنے گریبان میں جھانکنے کی بجائے افغانیوں کو غدار قرار دے دیا۔"

"جاو یار! یہ قوم تو ہے ہی ترقی اور امن سے نفرت کرنے والی۔ اس قوم کو لڑنے کے علاوہ آتا ہی کیا ہے۔ ان سے جان نہیں چھڑائی تو یہ ہمیں بھی پسماندہ کر چھوڑینگے۔"

"لڑائی کی جس صفت کو تم تذلیل کی نظر سے دیکھ رہے ہو یہ صفت تاریخ میں تماری محافظ رہی ہے۔ جس قوم کو تم پسماندہ سمجھ کر تحقیر کا نشانہ بنا رہے ہو اس قوم نے پچھلے ہزار سال درجنوں ریاستیں قائم کی ہیں۔ غزنوی، غوری، خاورزمی، تغلق، لودھی، ابدالی، خلجی، ہندوستان اور وسطی ایشیاء میں اسلام کی تشہیر و حفاظت کا بڑا سہرا ان افغانوں کی اس ہی دلیرانہ صفت کے سر ہے۔ مراٹھوں سے تمہاری جان چھڑانے، برطانیہ کی وسطی ایشیاء میں توسیع روکنے، کمیونسٹوں کی کمر توڑنے میں انہی کا خون ہے۔"

"او جاو یار! میں یہ سب نہیں مانتا۔"

"تمہارے ماننے نہ ماننے سے حقائق تبدیل نہیں ہوتے، صرف تمہاری کم علمی اور تعصب ظاہر ہوتے ہیں۔ تم دوست اور دشمن کا فرق بھول بیٹھے ہو۔ تم امت کا تصور اور تقدیر پر ایمان بھلا بیٹھے ہو ورنہ تم وطن پرست نہ ہوتے۔"

Can Corruption Problem be Solved by Hanging a Few Thousands?

کیا 5 ہزار کو لٹکانے سے کرپشن سے نجات ملے گی؟ انقلاب فرانس 40 ہزار مارے، انقلاب روس 20 ملین مارے: کوئی افاقہ،  بہتری، حل نہ ہوا!

1. Nations that forget history are forgotten by history. History tells us that mass killings, mass purges, indiscriminate hanging of suspects has never solved any problem for any nation. Whether it was French Revolution in 1789, or Russian Revolution in 1917, or Iranian Revolution in 1979. Several despots has tried this recipe and have failed miserably.

2. We in Pakistan must remember that those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

3. Also note that 60,000 were killed in Iranian revolution + millions killed in Iran-Iraq war imposed by USA as a revenge for revolution. Nothing got sorted out.

4. I first wrote about sentiments of hanging people and French revolution years ago  in the blogpost during Panama Case when they were clamoring for retribution with off-with-their-heads slogans.

Booby Traps Inserted in 1973 Constitution by DoN Godfathers that Perpetually Keep Pakistan in an ICU Emergency

Doctrine of Necessity (DoN) godfathers have inserted booby traps in the 1973 constitution that strangulate and throttle the elected governments in their functioning and also keep on exploding every few years keeping the country perpetually in an ICU emergency. The moment an elected government reaches a stage where it can start asserting the will of the people, a booby trap explodes plunging the country in to uncertainty and hopelessness. Since my childhood in early 1970s, I have experienced being in mortal fear of the country disintegrating. I am told that the same fear of disintegration and dismemberment has characterized the existence since independence.

This post reviews the history of three such provisions inserted in the constitution of 1973 by dictator General Zia through the machinations of Jadoogar of Jeddah Sharifuddin Pirzada who has the dubious distinction to be the legal architect of MLOs, PCOs, MLRs and other intricate insertions in the constitutions such as 58(2)b, 62(1)f, 183(4) and others of the ilk. Pernicious influence of such booby traps are only now being recognized by the elected lawmakers, who originally thought that they are donewith the dictatorial alterations once they got rid of 58(2)b.

Covey's First Habit and Depression

Worry about the things that are in your control. Don't worry about the things that are not in your control. This is Stephen Covey's First Habit from his highly acclaimed book 7 Habits of highly Effective People. What this means is that we need to have the mental capacity to block worring about the things that are not in my control and shift the focus to the things that are in my control. 

This wonderfully expressed and portrayed in the famous quote referring to "I wouldn't think of things that are not in my control today" because those are in my circle of concern about which I can't do any thing today. "I would only think of them tomorrow. Because tomorrow is another day." Scarlett O'Hara makes this resolve at the height of disappointment when she reaches her palatial house Tara to find that the strength and support she was looking for in her household, and her father is all gone as related to the plight in which the rich found themselves after the civil war ended as depicted in Margaret Mitchell's famous book/movie "Gone with the Wind". This resolve points out that I want to be fresh tomorrow to focus on how to bring things in my circle of concern into my circle of Influence. I will start by only focusing and working on things that are in my control. This will expand my circle of Influence and the consequent expansion will eventually encompass things that were previously only in my circle of concern. This expansion will bring them in my control.

Depression is a state in which we keep on thinking about the things that are not in my control and about which we can't do any thing. This saps our energy as we keep going round and round thinking about things of which we do not have any convincing solution. We only get depressed when we keep on thinking about things that are not in my control (that is,  those which are in my circle of Concern). And we don't convert the things which are in my control in to action items that can be completed in specific time frame.

An Eyewitness Account of Justice Munir's Doctrine of Necessity Judgement by Mr Ashraf Janjua

Justice Munir's Doctrine of Necessity Judgment is the most important single event in the history of Pakistan. The costs of Justice Munir's Doctrine of Necessity have been 4 Martial Laws and 35 years of direct dictatorships. The remaining years of Pakistan's existence have been spent fighting the booby traps inserted in the constitution by the dictators that throttle and strangulate the s/elected governments and keep on exploding every few years keeping Pakistan in a perpetual ICU emergency.

Mr Ashraf Janjua

Here is an eyewitness account by octogenarian Mr Ashraf Janjua who had been Deputy Governor SBP, and Dean and Professor at IoBM Karachi. He is also the author of a multi-volume history of State Bank of Pakistan. This is taken from his recent comments on my facebook post on political engineering that led to the judgment:

[Begin Quote]

Maulvi Tamizuddin was the speaker of the Constituent Assembly that was dissolved by the Governor General Ghulam Mohmmad. He was Governor General of Pakistan from 1951 to 1955. Maulvi Tamizuddin had challenged the GG’s decision to dissolve the assembly in Sindh High Court and had won the case. On appeal by the government, the case was heard in the Federal Court (renamed later on as Supreme Court) during 1955.
My memory is no longer as sharp as it used to be, but I remember distinctly that people could sense that there was something important about Maulvi Tamizuddin Case. During the hearings, first thing everyone would look for in the morning newspaper was the news about the proceedings of the Maulvi Tamizuddin case in the court.  

I listened to the proceedings of this case in the then Federal Court (before it was renamed as Supreme Court) in Lahore. A few students from Economics Department of Punjab University including myself sat in the gallery of the court for a few hours in May of 1955. During these hours Maulvi Tamizuddin was represented by Hamidul Haq Chowdhery and a British advocate named Mr Pritt, the latter was willing to fight for Democracy anywhere in the world without charging any fees. 

I remember many details of that hearing. One worth sharing with readers is that in his presentation,  Hamidul Haq Chowdhery used the word dishonest for the Governor General. On hearing this, CJ Munir lost his cool and said,”Mr Chowdhery you have used the word dishonest for the Governor General twice, if you use it again you will no longer be at the bar”. Mr Chowdhery apologized profusely. 

The five judges of the Federal (Supreme) Court at that time were Justices Mohammad Munir, Justice A. R. Cornileus, Justice S.A Rahman, Justice Mohammad Sharif and Justice Mohammad Akram. The first three were in the same order of seniority. May be Justice Shahbuddin was replaced by Justice Mohammad Akram or Justice Mohammad Sharif[1], I have no idea. I could identify Justice Mohammad Sharif on the Bench because as early as early as April 1951, I had received a prize from his hand as he was the Chief Guest in the annual prize distribution at Government College, Chakwal. I am not sure but I think at that time he was on the Bench of Punjab High Court. 

I recall that once all the judges retired to an ante room perhaps for consultation, and after a few minutes asked the messenger to get them a book placed on a table before the judges. Again, the proceedings continued. When the decision was announced the reaction was mixed. I have hazy recollection that Daily Dawn came out against it. But some of my fellow students said, "A decision against GG would have meant Martial Law.”
These are some of my recollections.

[1] Justice Shahabuddin was actually replaced by Justice Mohammad Akram. The story of this replacement is part of the political engineering as detailed in my post Doctrine of Necessity, DoN godfathers Political Engineering of the SC Bench to Obtain Doctrine of Necessity Judgement.

Corruption is a cause or symptom of Government Inefficiency- Challenge for Imran Khan

Asad Umar putting up a great fight against the vested interests in the country,  and IK buckling under pressure is a very simplistic explanation of a more fundamental issue plaguing our governance: The fundamental issue at stake is the debunking of the fallacious assumption that "corruption is the  primary reason for our economic downslide".  Asad Umar's economic performance demonstrates the negation of this fallacious assumption. Corruption is not the cause, but "incompetence" of the Competent Authority is the primary cause of our economic downslide. Corruption is only a symptom but definitely not the cause. Hence, presence of smart, forthright but incompetent leaders has further plunged the country into an abyss.

Iqbal and Ahmedis and Qadianis

ایک پوسٹ کے جواب میں، جس میں قادیانیوں کی حمایت کی بو محسوس ہوئی،
چند نکات پیش کررہا ہوں، امید ہے ٹھنڈے دل سے غور فرمائیں گے، حالاں کہ قادیانیوں کے معاملے پر مجھے یا ملت اسلامیہ پاکستان کو مزید کسی دلیل کی ضرورت نہیں، کہ انہیں ملک کا اعلی ترین ادارہ پارلیمنٹ غیر مسلم قرار دے چکا ہے۔  سو عوام کی اجتماعی دانش پر آپ کا سوال اٹھانا سمجھ سے بالا تر ہے-

علامہ اقبال نے 1902ء میں انجمن حمایت اسلام کے جلسے میں مرزا قادیانی کے دعویٰ نبوت کو جھٹلاتے ہوئے کہا کہ:
اے کہ بعداز تو نبوت شد بہ ہر مفہوم شرک      
بزم را روشن ز نور شمع عرفان کردہ

’’سرور رفتہ‘‘ میں صفحہ 30 پرغلام رسول مہر نے ایک نوٹ میں کہا ہے کہ یہ 1902ء کا کلام ہے اور ظاہر ہے کہ اس کے لکھنے کی ضرورت مرزا غلام احمد قادیانی کے دعویٰ بروزیت کی بنا پر ہوئی۔ یعنی کہتے ہیں کہ تیرے بعد نبوت کا دعویٰ ہر لحاظ سے شرک فی النبوت ہے۔ خواہ اس کا مفہوم کوئی ہو۔ یعنی ظلی اور بروزی نبوت بھی اس سے باہر نہیں۔

1903ء کے انجمن حمایت اسلام کے جلسے میں ’’فریاد امت‘‘ منعقدہ مارچ 1903ء میں اقبال نے ایک نظم پڑھی جس کا دوسرا عنوان ا برگہربار تھا۔ اس میں انہوں نے یہ شعر پڑھا۔
مجھ کو انکار نہیں آمد مہدی سے مگر            
غیر ممکن ہے کوئی مثل ہو پیدا تیرا

1914ء …میں اقبال نے لکھا کہ قادیانی جماعت نبی اکرم ؐ کے بعد نبوت کی قائل ہے تو ہ دائرہ اسلام سے خارج ہے۔

1915ء …میں رموز بے خودی شائع ہوئی۔ اقبال نے عقیدہ ختم نبوت کا واشگاف اعلان کیا:
پس خدا برماشریعت ختم کرو             بررسول ما رسالت ختم کرو
لا نبی بعدی ز احسان خدا است            پردہ ناموس دین مصطفی است
حق تعالیٰ نقش ہر دعویٰ شکست         تا ابد اسلام را شیرازہ بست

اقبال نے 1916ء میں ایک بیان میں کہا: ’’جو شخص نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے بعد کسی ایسے نبی کا قائل ہوجس کا انکار مستلزم کفر ہو تووہ خارج از اسلام ہوگا۔ اگر قادیانی جماعت کا بھی یہی عقیدہ ہے تو وہ بھی دائرہ اسلام سے خارج ہے‘‘۔

1935ء…اقبال نے ضرب کلیم میں اپنی نظم جہاد میں قادیانیوں پر تنقید کی:
فتویٰ ہے شیخ کا یہ زمانہ قلم کا ہے
دنیا میں اب رہی نہیں تلوار کارگر
ہم پوچھتے ہیں شیخ کلیسا نواز سے
مشرق میں جنگ شر ہے تو مغرب میں بھی ہے شر
حق سے اگر غرض ہے تو زیبا ہے کیا یہ بات
اسلام کا محاسبہ، یورپ سے درگزر

پس چہ باید کرد 1936ء میں شائع ہوئی۔ اقبال لکھتے ہیں:
عصر من پیغمبرے ہم آفرید  
آنکہ در قرآں بغیر از خود ندید

شیخ او مرد فرنگی را مرید
گرچہ گوید از مقام بایزید

گفت دیں را رونق ز محکومی است    
زندگانی از خودی محرومی است

دولت اغیار را رحمت شمرد 
رقص ہا گرد کلیسا کرد و مرد

اقبال نے نہرو کو جو خط کا جواب دیا اس کے مندرجات بھی ملاحظہ فرمائیں-
اقبال نے اپنی ایک بیان میں نہایت مضبوط اور قطعی لہجے میں مرزائیت کے باطل ہونے کا اعلان کیا اور مرزا غلام احمد قادیانی کو جھوٹا نبی قرار دیا اور انہیں اسلام اور ہندوستان کا غدار قرار دیا۔
اس پر پنڈت نہرو نے اقبال کے نام خط لکھا، جس میں کہا کہ یہ تو مولویوں کا ایشو ہے، آپ جیسا سمجھدار، پڑھا لکھا شخص کس طرح ایسی سخت بات کر سکتا ہے قادیانی حضرات کے بارے میں ، اس پر نظر ثانی کریں۔ اقبال نے جوابی خط میں تین باتیں کہیں:
پہلے تو یہ لکھا کہ آپ لوگ یعنی ہندو، نبوت صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے مقام کی تفہیم کر ہی نہیں سکتے ، اندازہ بھی نہیں آپ لوگوں کہ سرکار مدینہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کا کیا مقام ہے۔
دوسرا رسالت اسلام کا مرکزی عقیدہ ہے، جو ختم نبوت کا قائل نہیں، وہ کافر ہے ۔
تیسری بات یہ کہ معاملہ آج کا نہیں، آج تو ہم لوگ مرزائیت کے حوالے سے دھوکا نہیں کھائیں گے، معاملہ مستقبل کا ہے۔
اگر آج اسے یعنی قادیانی گروہ کو دوسرے مسلمانوں سے الگ نہ کیا گیا تو پچاس سال بعد بہت لوگ دھوکا کھا سکتے ہیں
از افادات ڈاکٹر وحید عشرت، محمد عامر ہاشم خاکوانی

ابھی صرف اقبال کے حوالے سے گزارشات کی ہیں، امید ہے اس پر سوچ بچار فرمائیں گے- اقبال مولوی نہیں تھے- اس وطن کا خواب انہی کا مرہونِ منت ہے۔ کہیں گے تو پھر یحییٰ بختیار کی قومی اسمبلی میں تقریر بھی شیئر کردوں- وہ بھٹو صاحب کی پارٹی کی اکثریت والی اسمبلی تھی۔ بھٹو صاحب اور پیپلز پارٹی والے بھی مولوی نہیں تھے۔
