IS KESC TRYING TO SAY ONLY MIDDLE CLASS STEAL ELECTRICITY

It seems the idea KESC trying to convey in its new add Campaign aganist theft that Middle class of Khi steals electricity. And in case any 1 from that class does it, then they will be humiliated in public by name being published in news paper which is again violation of fundamental rights( as an FIR only amounts to an accusation not a conviction & an accusation can be disproved). This Sunday I got a chance to view that list and I was surprised to find out that only residential flat owner (mostly) were listed. Here I would like to clarify that I am not blind and ignorant like an ordinary citizen, every person who is some how connected to KESC, Gov or Law Profession Knows that Majority of electricity is stolen by: 1 Gov Ministers & Politicians, Factory Owner, Feudals, High ranking Gov & Police Officer, hotels & restaurant( f.y.i. half of Zamzama is on KUNDA I can name the Person in Gizri power house responsible but there is no guarantee of my life then), Illegal colonies famous for drugs and arm trade & the least and most un expected category is the middle class citizens who steal a very small amount that too rarely and in quantity enough to operate just 1 A/C. This add campaign has thus again given a documented prove that in Pakistan only the powerless are prosecuted.

P.S. I would like to remind K.E.S.C. the middle class may not be involved in stealing of electricty at a large extent however it is for sure they always endup paying for every one.

The Private Police Culture in Karachi

Now a days a new menace has developed in Karachi. People who are found of being a VIP but are not a senior Government Officer or a Elected representative but have a lot of money can now travel like a Government big shot it goes beyond the Fake Government Plates scam its having your own private security guards pose as Police.



These People has gone far as giving there guards Look alike Police uniforms, badges caps, weapons and even Toyota Pickup vans which are of same color as police including revolving lights. They are usually found behind a car or SUV which has no or if it has a number plate it is always fake.



Few days ago I even saw a guard van which even had Sindh Police Sign printed on its sides and guards with look alike police uniform and even Van had a SP number plate but however I differentiated it with few minor things like the words like SPG (meant to be Sindh Police Guard ) on their shirts with strange monograms and the guard carried weapons which are not given to police and I stupid enough asked the driver of mobile (while it was next to me on a signal) that are you Police he was first stunned how could some ask him that and when he saw me in my blacks and white and a black coat hanging in back seat he confirmed my suspension that he is not Police and then I didn’t asked the next question and just speed ed away.From that day on I felt like that our country is gone to the depth of lawless ness we all feared as it is known to every one that Police Patrolling has become so rampant in Defence that there is no chance that they might have not been noted by the real Police. May Allah save us from our leaders and the rich. And I have applied for Canadian immigration. Good luck to you all.

some light on Taliban Sharia

Why the hell Taliban’s version of orthodox Islam is “limited” to women . I just don’t understand that all the time we see them enforcing Sharia by banning women from jobs, roaming around without veil and Mahrum , wearing proper clothes, adultery , punishing for adultery , just women girl , girls and women but aren’t we missing something here !!!!! what about punishing smugglers, corrupt officials, holders of wheat and other edibles , Adulterator of edibles, poppy growers , arms and drugs smugglers, car snatchers , kidnappers for ransoms. Black marketers, Black mailers , robbers, dacoits, criminals and Mobile Phone snatchers ( I would like to torch a few myself) ok for swat satellite mobile phone snatcher. So this picture is so far in my poor humble knowledge of Islam is not exactly “Islamic Code of Justice” this phenomena was also common in the Lal Masjid Clerks as well as their Students were only after brothels and girls wearing trendy stuff and they too ignored the second penal list I mentioned here, however this list is missing a lot of crimes from Pakistan Penal Code. I wonder if anyone can answer my "why" ?

Political Bigwigs responsible for present heat wave in sindh

Every since I came to understand how the "System" works I surely knew that the land of Pakistan was made only to be enjoyed on ownership basis by politicians, bureaucrats, military men and non- ethical businesses men the rest of the population is mere tenant and yes some of the common man do acquire it on owner ship basis but I takes a life time of one generation to acquire it and only the predeceasing generation can use it however in case there is a medical emergency which need expensive treatment that status shifts back to tenancy and then another generation has to struggle to acquire a home on ownership basis and then the cycle starts again. However the first category of persons I mentioned also did more than land grabbing they are now changing our environment even the recent heat wave is thanks to them. I am posting this news came up on thenews today.

Saturday, May 16, 2009By Jan KhaskheliKarachi The federal government has taken serious note of the Sindh government awarding large tracts of forest land to political bigwigs, and is considering retrieval of the valuable land, considering the significant role of forests in averting possibilities of floods and disasters.Federal Environment Minister Hameedullah Jan Afridi told journalists on Friday that Sindh authorities have already leased out more than 100,000 acres of forest land to local landlords, which they have de-forested for cultivation in previous years, leaving communities vulnerable to disasters.Afridi was visiting Sitting Shed, which is set up by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) Global Environment Facility (GEF) Small Grants Programme, near the picnic resort Kakapir village, Keamari Town, the minister said that water shortage at downstream Kotri, streaming industrial and urban effluent to the sea, destruction of fresh water bodies and other issues come under the concern of his ministry.Sources told The News that there was 500,000 acres forest land in Sindh, out of which around 100,000 acres have been leased out to landlords by the government while 300,000 acres of land have been occupied illegally.Under the current forest lease policy, people with access to influentials are grabbing forest land for cultivation. There are hardly any areas along the River Indus where scattered groves can be seen; otherwise, there are no forests as the entire area is under cultivation.According to the Agro Forest Policy 2004, farmers belonging to the area are entitled to get 40 acres forest land for a five-year lease. The farmers would have to plant indigenous trees over 10 acres of the land, while they can use 30 acres for cultivation. According to the rule, forest officials have to monitor the activities, and take action if they find any irregularity on the ground. Environmentalists who have kept a close eye over the depleting forests however claim that there is a violation of rules and regulations, and the land is being leased out to influential people based on political considerations. If a landlord gets 40-acres of land on lease, he occupies 160 to 300 acres of land in the vicinity and cleans it for cultivation.Katcha area, along the River Indus, is the natural habitat of major livestock of the province, is now under threat. Hundreds of forest communities, herdsmen, farmers and fishermen have been forced to migrate to other areas, as wide grazing fields, fish ponds and cultivable pieces of land have been grabbed by certain influential families in connivance with local police.Environmentalists link the present heat wave in Sindh to this ecological change as forests have been wiped out and River Indus does not have water to keep the ecosystem intact.The environment minister expressed concern over the decisions made by certain rulers creating environment problems and pledged to take the issues to the provincial authorities.It is the first visit by the federal environment minister to the coastal area, as he wanted to review the situation of mangroves forest, which are under threat due to increasing marine pollution.Earlier, he took a boat ride with UNDP GEF Small Grant Programme officials and the project implementing team to the Sitting Shed and appreciated the efforts to promote ecotourism in the neglected coastal zone.The project implementing team members claim that they are mobilizing community people not to cut mangroves plants. The community people argue that increasing marine pollution is the only cause of destruction of mangroves while camel grazing and cutting plants for fodder and fuel is a traditional phenomenon occurring through centuries.UNDP GEF Small Grants Programme officials Abdul Qadir Rafiq, Masood Lohar and others were also present on the occasion.


I am don’t know when exactly is this situation going to change being a lawyer I am well versed with the situation in Sindh that apart from Karachi sindh is a big jungle of law lessness there are no laws only the might is the law however this has to change as changeisonlyconstant.
