INDIA PLAY THE ROLE OF LEADERSHIP IN THIS REGION BY AMERICA FORGET PAKISTAN AND CHINA

Hope everyone heard this statement from Secretary of state Hillary Clinton when she last time visited India, I was not surprised to this an irresponsible announcement from US. I wonder if US really wants to hand over this responsibility and thinks India is capable to do this, why US has not fulfilled yet his previous pledge of nuclear deal with India by then President Bush.
As the world specially US, Western world and its allies in war on terror are well aware that after the deliberate killings by Raymond Allen Davis in Lahore and later an operation in Abbot bad for Al-Qaida leader drastically departure burst almost Pakistan US relations and tensions between the spying agencies and military to military of both countries are bigger than ever in history.
It is also significant that un-justifiable pressure from US for releasing of CIA spy Raymond Allen Davis and regrettably Pakistan could not endure the same pressure for the reason that it has feared of impeding US aid, similarly when US operated in Abbot bad for Al-Qaida leader killing and soon after PNS Mehran incident created many questions towards the reliability of its Armed Forces and defense capability of county in the minds of people of Pakistan and rest of world too specially India. 
Pakistan military first time took a rigid stance for expelling US contractors (intelligence officials) who existed in Pakistan under the umbrella of trainers to Pakistan military for fight against terrorism more virtuously. In reaction to this US desisted military aid to Pakistan and the leader of Pakistani spy agency visited soon after the bewildering decision of US at this stage. (I am not sure he received summons or he went for lodging protest against the decision or begging and importunate). Does such type of reactions from US are really enough to know how US sincere with Pakistan since its formation. I guess we never benefitted from any aspect whenever we (served) relations with US. We have major examples in history which concluded SEATO, CENTO, secondly when Soviet Union lost the war in Afghanistan, US left this region and specially Pakistan and Afghanistan like someone divorced, Pakistan did his atomic blasts on 28th May, 1998 in response to Indian second atomic blasts of 13th May, 1998. I remember US was the first country who imposed sanctions to its front line ally, but subsequently a very unfortunate incident of 9/11, again bring US near to its several time exploited dear country Pakistan for saving its citizens and soil against to own created Taliban and Al Qaida.    
Eventually I surmise Pakistan military has woke up and ashamed to own decision to be the ally of its beloved America, we have history every time Pakistan have its relation with US, it’s more and more expensive for us, instead of growing and developing gradually like India (India is not busy since its creation for fighting of others Wars, even India did not support Soviet union during their tough time and interestingly eighty percent Indian defense equipments  and technology (included nuclear) imported from than soviet union and now Russia).  
I believe that recent twice visits in less than one month of Pakistani President to Iran have the strong backing of GHQ and reaction to US not obeying according to its desire or we have fed up to “DO MORE” as we have already suffered too much. It was obviously sure that after Pakistan’s President visit abhorring speeches against America will come up from Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Seyyed ali Khamenei and President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad which are definitely not acceptable for US and its allies. 
Consequently in the recent visit of New Delhi Secretary of State Hilliary Clinton retaliated Pakistan’s President Visits to Iran and announced or pushed after assigning new task to India that India must play the role of leadership in this region?  It was understood to everyone in the world that such favorable statements and role for India from US is not pleasing Pakistan and China, and US shown its full loyalty after arresting the Dr. Ghulam Nabi Fai at the charges of his links with ISI and protesting against Indian encroachment at Kashmir. So, from now onward US perspective is India can be the role model for this region.
A clear cut indication for Pakistan and China that how India is important for US instead of country who have lost more than 68 billion dollar, thirty six thousand general public, soldiers and other economical and financial losses are secede since so called war on terror has began for protecting US citizens, (forget rest of world). Being Pakistani citizens can we imagine that ultimately Pakistan has realized that US never be his true friend or except deficit from all characteristics of life, we never achieved anything whenever we have friendship with US except the sympathies of ADB, IMF and World Bank for loans. If I am not wrong I would say US has faced one time 9/11 and Pakistan is facing everyday due to so called war on terror.
Pakistan and US are not happy to each other and have profound lack of conviction, so both are running towards each other enemies for making conscious that we have substitute, whatever the reasons behind the curtain, it has proved from recent statements and visits that Pakistan military is not cooperating as it was before or according to the anticipation of US, and I guess both are trying to tease each other after showing the card of surrogate. Although it’s understood that Pakistan’s friend ship with Iran is not acceptable only for US, Saudi Arabia has also stout reservations and simultaneously Americans friendship with India is not agreeable only for China also for Pakistan.  Secondly after breaching of Pakistan’s US relations will bring end of war on terror, and end of war on terror would resolve the most of world disputes and problems including Economical and this will help China to grow faster and replace US after becoming the new super power of the world.
So the leadership dream of US for India is far away neither this proxy war would goes towards end nor persists.

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA


 Mr.President !
I write today as a proud citizen of Pakistan who is among the people which want peace ,justice and stability of Pakistan. Since the  independence of  Pakistan ,it has faced many threats to security of the nation. Pakistan has always been a US ally. It was an ally during the 1979-1988 Afghan War, when the US gave billions of dollars to the Islamic Jihad to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan. Militant Islamic movements are a product of the US financing of the Islamic Jihad. Osama is America’s creation.
Pakistan is also helping US on war on terror and we’re living in the debris of this war. Our own internal conflicts, which multiplied during the 1979-1988 Afghan War, have multiplied even further. You want change? Be the first US president to understand these internal struggles. They include: the struggle for better health care, better education, access to drinking water, access to electricity (power cuts this winter averaged 10 hours daily), peace and security,  greater emphasis on cultural activities–on literature, music and things that bring people peace,class equality, women’s rights, minority rights and so on. Pakistanis are sick of bowing to US command and sick of putting our struggles on hold for your wars.
We never wanted terrorism that  is why we wanted a separate land but still we muslims are portrayed as terrorists.You always talk about peace in the world then why is Pakistan not considered to have peace in it.Why is it always a target of terrorism?
An American Raymond Davis killed three Pakistanis in broad day light and was under VIP security afterwards. On the other hand a Pakistani women  Dr.Afia did not do any crime but was harassed, her children abducted, she was humiliated  and sentenced to life imprisonment. US government fully backed the murderer Raymond Davis and demanded his release, ignoring police investigation, courts decision, justice for   the families of the 3 victims. On the contrary Pakistani government handed over Dr.Afia to US and kept almost silent on her punishment. Can you please tell me why a Pakistani citizen, who allegedly carried out a crime in Afghanistan, was charged, tried and sentenced in a US court?No other citizen, from anywhere else in the world, has ever been put on trial in a US criminal court for the attempted  murder of US soldiers although quite clearly, from the horrific statistics coming out of Iraq and Afghanistan the death toll and injuries of US soldiers is now running in excess of tens of thousands.
We, the people of  Pakistan appeal to you on the grounds of justice and humanity to prevent your State department and its diplomats from committing a travesty of justice against the people of Pakistan. Already so many Pakistani lives have been sacrificed for the US-led war on terror, and so many innocent Pakistanis continue to be killed by CIA drone attacks.Pakistan may be observed as a failed state but  still it  wont be destroyed  because since its independence it has gone through   crucial times and  suffered terrible loss ,yet it survived by its well-trained forces and patriotic people.
Mr.President!
Although you talk about peace in the Muslim world  and is not against Islam then why are you in favour of providing Israel veto power and why do you support it?. Pakistan is among the top recipients of U.S. military aid, receiving nearly twice as much for the military as it receives in economic aid .If you really want help and cooperation from Pakistan and want to win war on terror then  it is suggested that  common people of Pakistan should be helped i.e by establishing trade with Pakistan instead of giving money as an aid. By doing so you can win the hearts of Pakistanis because the money which is provided by USA is not well utilized by our politicians and thus common people are kept away far from  their welfare and progress.It is also requested that review of Dr.Afia’s case should be done and provided her justice.I and my fellow Pakistanis are looking  forward for your positive response in our country’s matter. Hope you will accept our request and take immediate action.Thank you!

PAKISTAN RAILWAY CRISIS AND ITS SOLUTIONS


Among the means of transportation railways are the cheapest and safest mode for passengers and goods. It also helps in growth of economy for the country. A plan for a rail system in Pakistan was first proposed in 1858.A survey for railway line was initiated by Commissioner of Sindh ,Sir Henry Edward Fere in 1858. It was proposed that a railway line from Karachi City to Kotri, steam navigation from the Indus /Chenab up to Multan and from there another railway to Lahore and beyond be constructed. Thus, it was on 13th May, 1861 that first railway line was opened for public traffic between   Karachi City and Kotri, the distance of 105 miles. The line between Karachi City and Kemari was opened in 1889  and  by 1897 the line from Kemari to Kotri was doubled.


Since 1861 when the first railway line was laid down between Karachi and Kotri, the expansion of the railway network by the British came at a rapid pace up until 1947. The driving factors for this growth were strategic and economic in nature. For instance to stop the invasion of the Russians from the West, the British built the Khojak tunnel, the fourth largest at that time, in seemingly inaccessible areas of Balochistan to reach Chaman railway station. But after 1947, little has been done to expand and maintain this network.

In Pakistan train were the primary mode of transport until the 1970s, but since then their share has declined due to a shift in government focus from rail to road transport. From 2005 to 2010, budgetary expenditure on railways was only Rs45.5bn compared to Rs155bn on the national highways.

The total length of railway tracks in Pakistan is 5,072 miles (8,163 km). and important railway routes and details of passenger train and freight in Pakistan are following :

1. Peshawar-Karachi via Rawalpindi- Lahore 
2. Karachi to Quetta via Kotri, Larkana and Jacobabad 
3. Quetta to Zahidan
4. Rohri to Quetta 
5. Multan to Jacobabad via Dera Ghazi Khan 
6. Quetta-Zhob 
7.Quetta to Chaman
8.Sibi to Khost 

Passenger Train
 Passenger traffic comprises 50% of the total revenue annually. During 1999-2000, this amounted to Rs. 4.8 billion. Pakistan Railways carries 65 million passengers annually and daily operates 228 mail, express and passenger trains. Daily, PR carries an average of 178,000 people. Pakistan Railways also operates special trains during occasions such as Eid- ul -Fitr, Eid- ul- Azha and Independence Day.

Freight
The Freight Business Unit, with 12,000 personnel, operates over 200 freight stations on the railway network. The Unit serves the Ports of Karachi and Bin Qasim as well as all four provinces of the country and generates revenue from the movement of agricultural, industrial and imported products such as petroleum oil & lubricants (POL), wheat, coal, fertilizer, rock phosphate, cement and sugar. About 39% of the revenue is generated from the transportation of POL products, 19% from imported wheat, fertilizer and rock phosphate. The remaining 42% is earned from domestic traffic.

The Freight Business Unit offers services to meet customer requirements and reduce costs through efficiency, innovation and modernization. All possible efforts are made to increase revenues and pass on the benefits to customers. The Freight Business Unit is headed by an additional General Manager.

The Freight Rates structure is based on market trends, particularly of road transport, which is the Railways' main competitor. The freight rates are no longer rigid but flexible, depending on the lead, peak-off peak season, and quantum offered.

  A year 1900 view of the Karachi-Kemari Train.
                                         

    Lahore Railway Station (stands as it was built by the British) 


 The Steam Engine finally resting outside Lahore Railway Station
                                   
PR is facing losses due to mismanagement, poor maintenance and weak ticket checks that allow people to get away with not paying for their tickets. There have also been political interventions in decision-making about which new routes to open. Furthermore, PR is not allowed to charge a market-clearing price; fares have always been dictated by the federal government.

According to the National Disaster Management Authority, the heavy floods have caused a loss of Rs.6.7 billion to the railway network as several hundred kilometers of lines were washed away. The railway coaches were also the targets of angry mobs and arson attacks after Benazir Bhutto’s assassination resulting in huge losses. Out of 522 total engines only 220 are in working order, out of which 100 are in poor condition. Ghulam Balour, Federal Minister of Pakistan Railways, has not made any effort to hide his helplessness over corruption affecting the department and the need for new locomotives.

The addition into problems of railways began in January 2011 when a cheque for Rs700 million issued by Pakistan Railways to Pakistan State Oil was not honored. The PSO subsequently stopped the supply of fuel to Railways. According to a senior officer at Railways headquarters in Lahore some 30 freight trains had to be stationed in yards near major railway stations across the country and only one freight train left for Muzaffargarh on Sunday. On an average, eight freight trains leave for Sindh for various destinations daily.Their are not enough funds for payment to PSO for high speed diesel to keep all freight trains running. The Railways have also not received a single penny from the Rs11.1 billion package recently approved by the cabinet.

I am also confused that if people wants to obtain urgent ticket reservations, they will not get the empty place in any train, and even on our major holidays i.e Eid- ul -Fitr, Eid- ul- Azha and Independence day if you want to travel then you must have an advance booking at least fifteen days or more, and the special trains are other then normal daily routine, innocent and poor people wait for the trains many many hours more then ten hours and sometime fifteen to twenty hours, and I have not seen any train to come at time in my twenty five years of life, six to seven hours train late is the normal routine in our country, why their is no accountability for them, are they not citizen of Pakistan? while if any air craft late for few minutes, it become the headlines of TV channels, although the journey taken by the eighty percent    (backbone of the country) people of Pakistan, no one is consolidating at it, why this important institution of government is facing deep financial riddle after having colossal revenue and other conundrums, where the earnings of this organization are going, who is taking the compensation of this organization. 

Followings are some of the suggestions to improve the condition for railway system of Pakistan:

1- First of all government should eradicate corruption in railways sector. Corruption is the menace that is destroying many sectors of Pakistani society. 

2- Pakistan Railways should be privatized. This is also the possible solution of problem because currently government of Pakistan has to bear the huge losses monthly. Other benefits of privatization of Pakistan Railways include the increase in service quality and expansion of Railways because government has nothing to invest in PR. 

3- Government should ask Chinese for help in order to make it profitable organization because China has made wonderful progress in railway industry. As China did in several other sectors including coal and nuclear power generation and manufacture of automobiles it has granted access to its enormous market by insisting on the transfer of technology. It has managed to develop its railway industry to the point at which it was able to out-compete the established systems in Europe and North America in winning the contract to build a high speed line connecting Mecca with Medina.

4- India is also making impressive strides in the railway sector. The underground system in Delhi has won the admiration of many foreign experts for its engineering as well as management. The inter-city system is being modernized in terms of both the quality of service on offer as well as the new equipment being used. The Indian and Chinese systems are by far the largest in the world and the two countries as a result of the advances they are making will come to dominate the world railway industry and business. Pakistan being a neighbor of these two rapidly growing and giant economies could benefit enormously from the development of the two systems.

5- Pakistan is blessed with coal reserves and a single Thar coal reserve of Sindh is about 850 Trillion Cubic feet which is more than oil reserves of KSA and Iran put together i.e. 375 billion barrels. 

Chinese and other companies had not only carried out surveys and feasibilities of this project but also offered 100 percent investment in last 7 to 8 years but the “Petroleum Gang” always discouraged them in a very systematic way. If these reserves are exploited properly then the deficiency of fuel can be catered for the railways.

In conclusion, the best solution of this problem is the privatization of Pakistan Railway. We can take the example of PTCL; before privatization PTCL's monthly losses were in billions. Today it is not only a profitable organization but also providing excellent services to the customers. Corruption in Pakistan Railways can only be removed by privatization of Pakistan Railways.

RAYMOND ALLEN DAVIS AND PAKISTANI AND US SILENT DIPLOMACY FOR HIS RELEASE


                                                         
                                      

 Mr. Raymond Allen Davis killed two Pakistani guys (Fahim and Faizan) deliberately on 27 January 2011 in Lahore, claiming that he did all this in his self defense, immediately after this awful incident he contacted the consulate for instant help and a Jeep came from the US consulate for the evacuation of Mr. Raymond Davis and his colleague from the place of incident, unfortunately that Jeep also brutally crushed one individual namely Obaid ur Rehman at road, within few minutes three Pakistani died because of one US citizen, who was living illegally (or controversial) inside Pakistan with the alleviate of sick Pakistani administration, astonishingly everyone knows three Pakistanis died on that day (later day before yesterday the wife of Fahim also committed suicide because of revealing injustice with her), the case taking place is only at the Mr. Raymond Davis, even he killed two guys what about the another person who viciously crushed Obaid ur Rehman.

Soon after this incident on 28 January 2011 US embassy issued a press release which stated that the US consulate staff member involved in regrettable incident resulted in loss of three life’s, we are working with the Pakistani authorities to ascertain the facts, afterward their statements get metamorphosed in whittle of diplomatic immunity, and demanded his release alleged that his detention is illegal and also it is the violation of Vienna diplomatic convention, even some images of Raymond Davis passport which clearly indicating he was neither staff member of consulate nor the diplomat.

These images are also avowing Mr. Raymond Davis came in Pakistan for an official business and his visa was expired on 30-06-2010 but he was living inside the US consulate, using the transport and availing the all facilities of consulate, what sort of business he has done in his whole tenure of Pakistan and why he was living with diplomatic staff while his visa had already been concluded for last few months, how he kept the weapon illegally from where he get this, Is he did all this with the support of US consulate ? 

There is an unambiguous contradiction in itself the press releases of US embassy in Pakistan, why US embassy not grasping the nature of occurrence, why not US Embassy cooperating with Pakistani security agencies to acquire the facts and illustrating good moral moreover respecting the Pakistani law for recovering the Jeep and its driver who brutally crushed the innocuous Pakistani and also the individual who were accompanied with Mr. Raymond Davis when he intentionally attempted the murdered of two naive Pakistanis, Government of Pakistan always copy and code the example of democracy of western world why not embracing the measures adopted by west democracy like United kingdom did in 1984 with Libyan Embassy, while London police were trying to protect the embassy from the protesters who were protesting against the killing of two students of Libya who criticized Colonel Gaddafi, but unfortunately someone fired at police from inner side of embassy and one police officer shot dead, anon the United kingdom police impose a curfew around embassy and demanded the culprit and stated that no anything (including goods, drinking water e.t.c) is allowed to send inside or bring outside until and unless embassy handed over the perpetrator, Libyan government refused to handover the offender and claimed the diplomatic immunity but United kingdom police deadly refused to accept the immunity and the embassy surrender after eleven days, United kingdom police eradicated all the staff of embassy from London, so the relations between United Kingdom and Libya remain suspended up to fifteen years, and Libyan government apologies in 1999 to the United kingdom and the families of sufferers also paid the colossal amount.

Why our both major political parties in Punjab and Federal are playing with the people of Pakistan and trying to keep away from this very sensitive issue and throwing ball in each other court, due to some political reasons, why they are worried for their personnel relations and reputation with US, I wonder that four Pakistanis has been died due to the an ordinary citizen of US, no any leader yet visited the families of victims specially Punjab government for exhibiting and expressing their sorrow and assure them for providing justice, because of this lackness one widow has done suicide, no one has shown sympathetic consideration and condolences of irreparable loss with the preys. Is that means our political parties have great menace to US or It is fact what we always heard since childhood that whenever any political party came in power in Pakistan only at the influence and endorsement of US, so it might mean our political parties are proving loyalty with US for imminent time.

Following are my few simple questions regarding the confrontation to the US embassy and the Pakistani politicians.

  1. When US citizen killed two innocent Pakistani guys, how he feel threaten to them, what he saw? Although when he did the murdered ponderously, he fired to their backs, and he also confirmed their deaths after checking the radial vein of both individual?

  1. If Mr. Raymond Davis was ingenuous, why he and his friends want to get flee from the spot?

  1. Is the person yet called in the court who was accompanied by Mr. Raymond Davis at the time of calculatingly murdered?

  1. Why the Jeep and its driver not yet handed over to the police or investigative authorities, (and I am sure they will not do) for the brutally crushing and killing of one more gullible guy?

  1. Why Raymond denied his first day statement? May be in future he will say I gave that statement because I was in deep stress, therefore I gave such illusive statement, and facts are different?

  1. Why our entire government including provincial and Federal worried for US citizen, why they are not worried for those who elected them and bring them in the governments? (Aiwano main)

  1. Why there is a no any rally or (JALSA JALOOS) gathering, and addressing from any political party including religious against this inhuman act of Mr. Raymond Davis and US embassy demand of his release?

  1. Why the both major political parties of Pakistan are worried for their interaction with US due to one culprit, why their compassion not with the affective families, I remember when provincial government of Punjab leaders took initiative on 28 May 1998 for Pakistan, they become the hero of country for forever, there names would always be remember in the history of Pakistan and world just to take the rigid stance for country, If they take same stance at this very important issue, their reputation would be more stronger because we cant expect the same decision to else government?
  2. How many more Americans are living in the same capacity as Raymond Allen David was existing in Pakistan, what is his background in United States, Is he belong to Military or other intelligence agency? what sort of business he has in US?

WHAT IS HAQQANI NETWORK & ITS BACKGROUND

The Haqqani network is one of three main groups in Afghanistan. The other two are the Quetta Shura Taliban, run by a leadership council headed by the confined Mullah Omar, and the other one is Hezb-e-Islami which runs by Gulbudin Hekmatyar, another experienced person during the Soviet war, all these groups have dissimilar command structures and toil under separate strategic plans.
A 70 years old men namely Jalaluddin Haqqani having two wifes, one belong to Arab, UAE, is one of them Haqqanis, who are ethnic Pashtuns from the Zardan tribe in southeastern Afghanistan Paktia province. The group maintains a power base in the region of Pakistani Pashtun region of Waziristan across the border from Afghanistan’s Khost province, his exile during the Republican Government of Sardar Daud in early 1970,s. He was initially a part of mujahedeen leaders that formed Hizb-e-Islami, when Hizb-e-Islami splintered in the late 1970’s, Haqqani followed Yunis Khalis rather than Hekhmatyar, and become one of most important commanders in the Hizb-e-Islami (Khalis) or HIK. Jalaluddin Haqqani raised to eminence during the 1980’s, receiving weapons and funds from CIA and Saudi Arabia to fight against Soviet forces occupying Afghanistan.

Haqqanis do not accept the Taliban influence and often act independently. This groups had links with Al-Qaeda but did not need Al-Qaeda support, this group also did not require the aid of foreign fighters as it had the provision of Afghan local public, Haqqani established a close relationship first time with Osama Bin Laden in the 1980’s and it was not a concurrence that the first camp Bin Laden formed in Afghanistan Lion’s Den and some related infrastructure that he started to build were in Haqqanis territory. The relationship between Haqqani and the Taliban Government was not charming. Haqqani is a member of Ghilzai tribe of Pashtuns, where lands lie generally east of Kandahar, whereas the Taliban leadership was largely from the Durrani tribe and particularly from Sub-tribes around Kandahar itself Ghizalis prided themselves on the role they had played in defeating the Soviets, and Haqqani and other Ghilzai resented the primacy of the Kandahar Taliban. Haqqani also received a large sum of money to recruit soldiers after the Taliban massive 1997 defeat in Mazar-e-Sharif but the tensions with the Kandahari Officer he was assigned, among other things led to mass AWOLs from among his forces. He nevertheless remained loyal to the Taliban Government becoming Minister of Tribal Affairs, in late September 2001, Mullah Omar appointed Jalaluddin Haqqani the Commander-in- Chief of the Taliban Armed forces.
This is the picture of 37 years old Sirajuddin Haqqani, now a senior leader of Haqqanis network and also the son of Jalaluddin Haqqani, presently he is running the network and preserve a close ties to AL-Qaeda because of his father ailment, recently we heard to the different news agencies that Haqqani admitted planning the 14, Jan. 2008 attack against the Serena hotel in Kabul that killed also one American citizen Thor David Hesla. Haqqanis has also connections with the ISI, similarly as it had the relations to CIA and other spy intelligence agencies at the time of Soviet Jihad. Peter Tomsen was US. Special envoy and Ambassador to Afghanistan from 1989 to 1992, said in an interview that the ISI has maintained its Jihad era ties with Haqqani network (but he forget to tell the relations of CIA in all this scenario with such groups) after the US invasion in October 2001, Haqqani was also invited to Islamabad for talks about a Post-Taliban Government, A top ISI official was also have to held talks with Sirajudding Haqqani, in Miranshah of North Waziristan in early March, 2009. In a prisoner exchange with Pakistan, Taliban led by Baithullah Mehsud, the Pakistani Government released three family members of the Haqqani family in November, 2007.which follows Haqqani;s brother-in-law Ghazi Khan, Haqqani’s brother Khalil Ahmad and son of Dr. Fazl-i-Haqqani. Haqqani is also mediated peace deals between the Pakistani Government and Waziri and Mehsudi commanders of the Pakistani Taliban in North and South Waziristan.

Such type of networks received significant support from the CIA, FBI during Soviet Union, may be still, because these intelligence agencies are not free from Sin, may be they are more cruel including R&AW. American and others have also ties with alike networks and groups in history. Pakistan and its agencies are always utilized as a scapegoat by other countries and their institutions. ISI’s involvement in bombing the Indian agency has to a great extent covered up the question “Why has India established four of its consulates and one Embassy in Afghanistan? “. India and Pakistan are contesting a proxy war in Afghanistan. The difference is Indian unlawful acts get buried while Pakistan’s corrupt involvement gets exhumed. This imbalance can lead to disastrous situations in the region and so it’s high time US learns to apply stabilizing strategies to the archrivals and the only nuclear powers of South Asia.

DEATH OF AIR CHIEF MARSHAL MUSHAF ALI MIR



A person namely Mushaf Ali Mir, who also have the nick name Mashoo opened his eyes in Lahore, he was one of nine children of a middle class family (Kashmiri) including five sisters Sanobar, Shameem, Suraiya, Nasreen and Tasneem and fourth brothers Dilband Ali Mir, Mustafa Ali Mir, Asif Ali Mir and himself, this legend family believe at the shia sect in the religion. He lived with his family in Mohalla Shia Kashmirian area inside Mochi Gate. His father, Farzand Ali Mir was calligrapher and died when Mushaf Ali Mir was young and school going children, he went Government Wattan Islamia high school which is located at Brandth Road

Mushaf Ali Mir joined as a commissioned in the Pakistan Air Force in 43rd GD (P) course on 22, Jan 1967. His friends believed that the Mushaf Ali Mir merged the Pakistan Air Force because he was inspired to his cousin the late Khawaja Yousaf who was (shaheed) martyred during the Indo-Pak war of 1965. He was the graduate of Flying Instructors School, and Combat Commanders School. He did his staff college course from Pakistan Air Force Staff College (now that is baptized PAF War College), and also from National Defence College, Islamabad. (now National Defence University). During his service his key command appointments were OC (Officer Commanding), CCS Mirage Squadron; OC, No.33 Wing at PAF Base Minhas, Base Commander, PAF Base Sargodha (now PAF Base Mushaf). and Air Officer Commanding, Southern Air Command and his staff appointments comprises Assistant Chief of Air Staff (Plans) in the AHQ, Chief of Green Project Flash (Mirage 2000-5), Project Director of Falcon (F-16), and Director Operations, his final assignment before promotion to CAS was Chairman of the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex Board at KAMRA. The exceptional landscapes of this person were a strong faith in hard slog, full of ideas, integrity and kindness. He always put others at ease with his simplicity, humility and sincerity of purpose. He was conscientiously honest, straightforward, with tremendous courage and boldness.

He was promoted by General Pervez Musharraf to become the 16th Chief of Air Staff on 20, Nov. 2000. ACM Mushaf Mir superseded five senior Air Marshals to become the (CAS) Chief of Air Staff. Those air marshals with their appointments are Qazi Javed Ahmed, DCAS (Personnel), Riazud din Shaikh, DCAS (Administration), Pervez Iqbal Mirza, AOC Southern Air Command, Zahid Anis, DCAS (Operations) and Muhammad Farooq, Vice Chief of Air Staff all were strive for premature retirement after his ACM.

On the morning of 20, Feb 2003, the Pakistani Air Chief died along with his wife Bilquis Mir and other fifteen senior officers and staff, when their Fokker F-27 crashed during a routine flight to PAF Base Kohat northwest of Pakistan-Afghanistan border. The incident was the first of its kind in the history of Pakistan Air Force. The official cause of crash was given to be pilot error among bad weather conditions. The casualties contained two Principal Staff Officers, AVM (Air Vice Marshal) Saleem Nawaz, DCAS (Administration) and AVM Abdul Razzaq, DCAS (Training) and all of Air Chief's personal staff officers including AC (Air Commodore) Rizwanullah Khan, PSO to CAS, AC Syed Javaid Sabir, Secretary to CAS, and Group Captain Aftab Cheema, APSO to CAS, Wing Commander Syed Tabassam Abbas, ADC to CAS.

Gerald Posner is the investigative journalist and he claim that the death of Mushaf Ali Mir was not an accident but an act of interruption. He alleged in his book namely “WHY AMERICA SLEPT” and why they could not predict in enhance the 9/11, and also the Osama Bin Laden deal through his friend Abu Zubaydah with Pakistani Inter-Service Intelligence through Mushaf Ali Mir in 1996 to get protection, arms and supplies for Al-Qaeda. Interestingly Air Chief Marshal Mushaf Ali Mir was also reluctant to stipulate some air bases to America for the invasion at Afghanistan after 9/11 which comprise Jacobabad and Shaheen Air base of Sargodha e.t.c.      

Three protuberant member of Saudi Royal family died in mysterious circumstances, Prince Ahmed bin Salman, a nephew of the Saudi King, prominent businessmen and owner of the winning 2002 Kentucky Derby horse, was died to a heart attack at the age of 43. The very next day Prince Sultan bin Faisal, another nephew of King died while driving to Prince Ahmed’s funeral and a week later, Fahad bin Turki hypothetically died due to the thirst in the Arabian dessert. Seven months later the plane of Pakistani Air Force Chief Mushaf Ali Mir, crashed in the air.

Controversial Gerald Posner also indicates that all these confrontations linked to each other and the death of all these worth personalities are not unintentional, but have created due to the acknowledgments of captured Al-Qaeda leader Abu Zubayda in March, 2002 from Pakistan. The deaths transpired not long after the respective governments were told of Abu Zubayda revelations. Only one more personality whom named taken by Abu Zybayda remains alive and that was Saudi Intelligence Minister Prince Turki al Faisal, Poser also said about him that he is the J. Edger hoover of Saudi Arabia, which means too powerful and aware of too many secrets to be killed off. Prince Turki al Faisal was removed from Intelligence minister responsibility ten days before 9/11 and later sends him the Saudi Ambassador to the United Kingdom giving him diplomatic immunity from any criminal prosecution.         

BOI (Board of Inquiry) held by the Government of Pakistan (Musharraf regime) immediately, thereafter the plane crashed of Pakistani Air Force Chief Mushaf Ali Mir in the air, and the findings of the same BOI are still mysterious, why after almost eight years of this incident in which we lost the great personality with his colleagues and staff are still questionable who were behind this incident, what are the outcomes of BOI, who is responsible, who did this, why the fingers at the CIA and FBI, why not fingers at R&AW, It is an old tradition to put the blame at the pilot because he also no more alive with others, however during flight of any air craft pilot constantly remain in touch with the ATC (Air Traffic Control) room, who always have the strong influence at the assertions of the BOI of such a major disaster or might such incidents occurred due to the inclination and evade of internal people. It is also very horrible during the Military government, always the plane of the top most officials of military collided in the air.
