Vice President Pakistan Peoples party
USA, former President Pakistan As-
sociation of Greater Houston who
lost Houston City Council District F
election last year has been accused of
a major financial fraud in Pakistan.
Federal Investigation Agency FIA has
concluded a major investigation in
which millions of dollars were em-
bezzled from NICL. FIA has asked the
Pakistani Court to issue Red Warrant
against Khalid Khan. Red Warrant is an
arrest warrant issued to get criminals
arrested through Interpol Police. Kha-
lid Khan a small time travel agent who
worked at Asneel travel located at Hill-
croft few years ago suddenly surfaced
on the top of Pakistani political arena
in last few years when he lost District
F City Council elections. Khalid Khan
has served Vice president of Pakistani
association of greater Houston under
Presidency of Ghulam Bombaywala
and he was installed as President with-
out any elections. Khalid Khan served
only two years and opted to be
released from this position because
he knew that this warrant was be-
ing processed. Local agencies have
been reviewing his case as to how
to process his arrest and extradite
him to Pakistan to face the charges.
The details received indicate that
Khalid Khan funneled lot of cash
of a local Pakistani bankrupt busi-
nessman. This Pakistani bankrupt
businessman has been trying to
hide his wealth from agencies like

dollars his bankrupt company owes to IRS. Ghulam Bombaywala has filed personal and corporate
bankruptcies and has been successful in hiding all his assets in blind trusts. In a recent document
published in IHTB Policy Justice Department Trustees in a motion to the Federal Judge had indi-
cated that Ghulam Bombaywala has diverted his assets in various trusts and wanted to file claims to
recover millions of dollars he owes to IRS. According to our sources Ghulam Bombaywala is worth
more than 50 million dollars but shows him self bankrupt to avoid paying any taxes. In recent enqui-
ry it has been learnt that one of his prime property was confiscated by IRS and the tenant of Ghulam
Bombaywala has been told to pay the rent to IRS with immediate effect. In recent interviews with
Justice Department and IRS IHTB Policy
recommended the agencies to file Tax
Evasion charges against Bombaywala
who has bypassed the system and avoid
paying taxes to Uncle Sam. Enquiries are
pending and some new stories will sur-
face soon. It is sad that we were given a
chance to live in this country and instead
of following the rules and regulations
to keep this country on the top, many of
our community members are busy day
and night in stealing from Uncle Sam.
Bankruptcy laws are being misused on
daily basis and fraudulent financial deal-
ings are on the rise in our community.
Unfortunately the sentencing guide lines
in such crimes are also very soft which
encourages new thieves to cheat the sys-
tem. If strict punishments are given to the
people who steal from Uncle Sam new
crooks will be discouraged. We urge our
community members to live an honest
life and pay your taxes in time and don’t
commit any financial crimes which make
all of us look bad.

TAKEN OVER BY CRIMINALS Memon. At this time Farooq Samad also verbally assaulted Memon by cursing him that Memon
would go to hell because of the story written in the newspaper. Manzoor Memon in his comments
stated that Farooq Samad is responsible for major financial frauds and now has the guts to scare
honest people like him. It is strange that after 7 years of prison term Farooq Samad has not been
rehabilited and has no remorse for his illegal actions and has already started a new mortgage com-
pany with his daughters working on the front. Keep in mind that Farooq was arrested and sent to
jail for major financial frauds and now he is back in business and ready to hit the innocent victims.
FBI and other agencies have been notified of his new location at 6666 Harwin Suite 500 from
where he has started his activities again. When Asked Manzoor Memon as to why he wrote such
old story he stated that after Farooq’s arrival in town very prominent Memon businessmen held a
luncheon in his honor at Royal restaurant as if he has come back after performing Hajj. The biggest
problem we see in our community is that we are still not ready to discourage criminals and give

MQM Should Start
Revolution from Karachi
K. Ashraf
Does Altaf Hussain really believe in revolution or is he
just using the slogan of revolution as a political rhetoric?
We doubt MQM lead by Altaf Hussain know the rudi-
ments of revolution or has the ability to launch revolution
in Pakistan. We think he is just another demagogue using
the rhetoric of revolution as a political ploy. Were he a
revolutionary he would have launched revolution in Ka-
rachi long time ago. He had all the opportunities, such as
the street power, the political power, the guns, the power
to collect taxes from businesses and individuals. He never
used these advantages to launch the revolution in Kara-
chi. Karachi is an ideal city to launch the revolution. It is
industrial hub of Pakistan. It has enough of labor force to
start, implement, and strengthen the revolution. Karachi
can be a model revolutionary city for Pakistan. Under
General Musharaf the MQM had controlled Sindh. Par-
ticularly, Karachi was under absolute control of MQM.
The model of a parallel system was also under practice in
Sarhad by MMA. If General Musharaf allowed MMA to
establish so called Islamic System in Sarhad why MQM
did not follow the model and established a revolution-
ary government in Sindh or at least in Karachi? Okay,
this opportunity was lost. MQM did not think about the
revolution at that time. What is holding MQM now from
launching the revolution in Karachi? Altaf Hussain is in
the best position to take over all the factories, houses,
businesses and hang all the cruel capitalists on the lamp
posts of Karachi and start the revolution. If Altaf Hussain
does not want to follow the example of MMA, Pakistan
has two countries in its neighborhood that have two
systems at a time: India and China. India has a Marx-
ist government in West Bengal. It is working fine within
Indian political system. Socialist China has a capitalist
Hong Kong within its socialist set-up. It is also perform-
ing real well. MQM should show its sincerity and com-
mitment to revolution and launch it in Karachi. We know
the industrial centers with large labor force are the ideal
and conducive locations for it. A successful revolution in
Karachi will be good starting point for launching revolu-
tion elsewhere in Pakistan. Once revolution takes place
in Karachi, the rest of the people of Pakistan will follow
the experiment and we are sure many revolutionaries in
rest of the country will join hands with MQM and start
the revolution in the country. Go for it Mr. Altaf Hussain.
Make the Karachi the starting point for revolution. We are
anxiously waiting for it.
Muslim Charity Squandered Money For Poor
Dale Brazao - Jesse McLean Staff Reporter
Mohammad Ashraf, long-time leader of the Islamic
Society of North America Canada, is at the centre of a
controversy involving mismanaged charity donations
and free perks for family members. Devout Muslims
donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to one of
Canada’s largest Islamic organizations on the promise
that the cash would be used to help the poor. But only
one in four dollars donated to a special pool of money
at the Islamic Society of North America Canada (ISNA
Canada) actually reached the needy. Mismanagement of closely at one portion of those donations, an obligatory alms giving
more than $600,000 is among the findings in a scathing
audit obtained by the Star. A “very small portion . . . is about $810,777 collected over four years, only $196,460 went to aid
distributed to the poor and needy and the major portion
is spent on the administration of the centre,” concluded
the 2010 audit of the previous four years. ISNA Canada a minimum of 2.5 per cent of their
It’s Not A Rumor, Americans Did Get
Qureshi’s Scalp
By Mohammad Malick - Saturday, February 12, 2011
ISLAMABAD: When powerful men meet to discuss explosive issues,
things can change in a big way. And that is precisely what happened
after a highly secretive and immensely important meeting at the Presi-
dency a few days back. The subject, not unexpectedly, being the fate of
American killer Raymond Davis and that of Pakistan-US relations. Little
did anyone know at the time that the huddle would instead end up decid-
ing the fate of Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi.
The meeting, convened by the president was attended by Prime Minis-
ter Gilani, Babar Awan, Rehman Malik, Shah Mehmood Qureshi and
the DG ISI Gen Shuja Pasha. The president was given an exhaustive
overview of the entire situation but quite early in the meeting it be-
came evident that two of the men were standing on the wrong side of
the prevalent dominant wisdom and desire of somehow finding a way
to retrospectively cough up diplomatic immunity for Davis and to just
wish away all the four deaths and the lingering crisis. But since one of
the ‘erring’ two dared not be arbitrarily fired, poor Qureshi’s fate stood
sealed. Extreme pressure was exerted in the meeting on the former for-
eign minister to renege from his earlier stance and simply tell the court
that the Foreign Office was in consonance with the American interpre-
tation of Davis being a genuine diplomat and enjoying full immunity
under Vienna Convention 1961. Facts be damned. According to highly
reliable sources, interior ministry’s immense resources were also offered
to cause any necessary change of documentation or any exceptional
service warranted under these exceptional circumstances. An adamant
Qureshi, who had strongly argued the case that Raymond did not enjoy
unlimited diplomatic immunity under law, flatly refused and even said
that if need be, he’d rather resign than become an accessory to multiple
murder. The meeting ended on a rather unsavory and unexpected note. It
was a surprising outcome for all the others because Qureshi had always
been perceived, and even pilloried by the media, as being an American
lackey and was not expected to dig in his heels over an issue so vital for
the US administration.
But Qureshi’s latest run in with the Americans did not begin or end
inside the Presidency. It had actually begun much earlier on January 28,
a day after the deadly Raymond Davis incident in Lahore. He was in
Karachi when he first received a call from US Ambassador to Pakistan,
Cameron Munter and then had a conversation with US Secretary of
State, Hillary Clinton. Munter requested him for immediate councillor
access to Davis and his immediate handover to US Consulate authori-
ties. Qureshi asked Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir to talk to Munter
and while authorizing immediate councilor access to Davis made it clear
to the foreign secretary that the matter of release would only be decided
by the court as the legal process had already been kicked into motion in
Punjab. Then came Hillary’s call. An understandably perturbed Hillary
wanted the immediate handover of Davis and insisted that Pakistan was
violating the Vienna Convention by the illegal incarceration of a “US
diplomat”. Confirming the contents of that conversation to The News,
Shah Mehmood said that he had patiently explained to Hillary that while
he understood her anxiety she too had to understand the highly emo-
tive and sensitive nature of the incident. And also that since the judicial
process had been kick-started in Lahore, the Foreign Office and the US
had little option but to submit to the due process of law. Anyway, the
two decided to discuss the matter on the sidelines of the then forthcom-
ing Munich Security Conference, and the line went silent. Since then,
Ambassador Munter and other senior embassy officials remained busy
with engaging Pakistani authorities and the Foreign Office, blowing hot
or cold, depending upon the level of their own frustration and the pres-
sure coming their way from Washington. A few days prior to the Munich
Conference, Qureshi received a call from Ambassador Munter who said
that he had been directed to convey the message that unless Qureshi
signed the diplomatic immunity paper prior to the conference, the
is embroiled in controversy, with the audit revealing the practice of
giving free perks to family members of a top official; the improper
issuing of charitable tax receipts; and the diversion of charity money
to private businesses. At the centre of it all is long-time secretary
general Mohammad Ashraf, who has recently announced he is step-
ping down. Ashraf would not answer a series of questions from the
Star. “Don’t ask me anything,” Ashraf told a reporter who visited the
organization’s Mississauga headquarters, marked by a graceful mina-
ret overlooking the Queen Elizabeth Way. The 73-year-old microbi-
ologist said he is “being transitioned into retirement” and that he is
“restricted” from commenting on the audit. ISNA Canada’s elected
president, Mohamed Bekkari, told the Star in an interview Wednesday
that his organization will toughen financial protocols as a result of the
audit. All financial authority has been removed from Ashraf, he said.
Bekkari called the findings of the audit, by chartered accountant Fa-
reed Sheik, “unsettling” and a new audit will be ordered that will dig
deeper. The first audit warns that ISNA would risk losing charity sta-
tus if things are not done differently. For more than 30 years, Ashraf
has been the leader of ISNA, a national organization that is also the
hub for Mississauga’s Muslim community. It houses the city’s most
visible mosque and provides a variety of services, including a Muslim
high school and a halal meat certification agency. ISNA Canada draws
in close to $1 million in charity donations a year. The audit looked
called Zakat and Fitrah meant to aid the needy. The audit found that of
the poor. After prayer, Zakat is considered by some Muslims to be the
most important pillar of the Islamic faith. It requires Muslims to give

scheduled meeting between him and Hillary would stand cancelled. The
message was starkly clear a la George Bush: You are either with us or
against us. So be it, Qureshi is reported to have told the ambassador and
even cancelled his trip altogether. The chief of the army staff went in-
stead to Munich and that is an appointment that even the US secretary of
state cannot cancel, Davis or no Davis. Once Qureshi ignored the latest
Hillary communiqué, the Americans stopped talking to him altogether
because it had now become evident that Qureshi was not going to budge
on his stance of Davis not being eligible for full diplomatic immunity.
Qureshi was no longer a welcome dinner guest and neither could he be
allowed to remain in office. The last thing Washington can afford is his
having a Pakistani foreign minister with a reawakened conscience. Ac-
cording to highly reliable sources, the next claimed scalp may be that of
the equally intransigent (from American perspective), Foreign Secretary
Salman Bashir who is now the only remaining top level hurdle in the
apprehended shameless handover of Davis by a compromised political
leadership. The foreign secretary is also of the considered firm view that
Davis does not qualify for full immunity. And there are legitimate causes
for this argument, which were further exposed by glaring inconsistencies
in the forever changing US stance on the issue. Owing to the paucity of
space, irrefutable arguments proving Davis’ ineligibility are not being
reproduced here and also because a lot has already been written on the
legal aspects of the subject, including the highlighted fact that in the ini-
tial reaction by US authorities, Raymond Davis was identified as merely
an “employee” of the US Consulate in Lahore, but never as a diplomat.
He was referred to as an employee and not a consulate general official.
“It was a simple clerical error” was the incredulous justification offered
by two senior members of the Islamabad embassy in an off-the-record
conversation with the scribe. But it gets even better. A lot is being made
by the Americans and their interlocutors of the January 20, 2010 com-
munication of the Islamabad embassy wherein the FO had been asked
for the issuance of a non-diplomatic identity card for Davis. It is being
argued that this communication clearly identifies Raymond Davis as be-
ing administrative and technical staff of Islamabad embassy and there-
fore automatically eligible for diplomatic immunity. But this is only half
the story. Certain discrepancies in 2010 had already caused the Foreign
Office to seek clarifications. In Sept 2009, the US State Department had
originally identified him as technical advisor (contractor) going on “of-
ficial business” while applying for his visa. Later he was attached to US
Consulate Lahore as an employee. So when his name popped up again
in January 2010, identifying him as being attached with the US Embassy
Islamabad, the FO wanted answers to some very pertinent questions. The
relevant FO officials repeatedly asked the US embassy to provide the de-
tails of Davis’ new responsibilities along with those of his past postings.
When weeks had passed with the embassy avoiding a categorical clari-
fication on this count, the FO finally sent a formal Note Verbale to the
US embassy on July 8, 2010. It bore ref no: P(1-A)/2009-ID(USA). This
note pertained to a total of ten Americans about whom similar details
were being sought from the embassy but no response had been forth-
coming from the US end. Davis was listed as Note No:252/HR. When
FO authorities were asked about the presence of 2009 in the reference
number of the note verbale otherwise sent on July 8, 2010, they clarified
that it was perfectly in accordance with their internal filing sequence
and did not reflect any anomaly. Unable to cover this critical gap in their
argument to secure Davis’ release on the afterthought alibi of diplomatic
immunity, the US embassy has adopted the rather incredulous argument
of denying outright the existence of this critical correspondence. The FO
has been told at the highest level that the US embassy never received
this Note Verbale. The two senior functionaries stuck to the denial man-
tra when asked by The News about the embassy’s refusal to divulge the
real assignments and other details of Davis and nine others. They insist-
ed that all the embassy records had been thoroughly checked but there
was no evidence of the cited note verbale ever being received. When
they were told that the July 8 note was present in FO records and its
existence and its having been sent to US embassy was recorded in more
than one place and constituted a process that could not be tampered with
within hours of an event taking place, the duo took the reference number
of the ‘missing note’ to ostensibly try locating it from their records. This
raises an interesting question: if they still needed the reference number at
this stage, then how did they even check their records earlier? Can you
name a single other incidence where prior to this particular note verbale
or since, any note verbale sent by FO to the US embassy has ever gone
missing? the two functionaries were asked. Not surprisingly, the duo
could not cite a single such incidence. Interesting coincidence one must
say, where the entire US administration makes critical clerical errors
which only expose Davis as being a non-diplomat. Another interesting
coincidence again, when only one specific official communication out of
hundreds of similar exchanges goes missing, and which once again stood
to expose Raymond Davis for being anything but a legitimate diplomat
on a legitimate diplomatic assignment.

Unemployment IN PAKISTAN And It’s Remedy

Pakistan has a large number of problems, the problem of unemploy-
ment stands out as a significant one with the increase in the popula-
tion, and the problem is assuming serious proportions. We find a
large number of people in Pakistan, floating here and there in search
of the jobs. Due to unavailability of proper career guidance, Paki-
stani youth and our Memon community youth also faces tremendous
difficulties once they complete their graduations. Definite statistics
are not available on the subject, but statistics are badly required to
prove what is obvious to every one. The fact of unemployment is
somewhat hidden by the joint family system where every one is
supported out of a common pool of income, and the religious in-
stitutions which support a vast majority of people. We have three
main types of unemployment, namely agricultural unemployment,
industrial unemployment, and unemployment amongst the unedu-
cated people. The causes of unemployment in agriculture are nu-
merous. Firstly, the pressure of population on land is increasing and
the farm can no longer employ and absorb the increased numbers.
Secondly, the lack of subsidiary industries in the villages, adds to the
unemployment. Thirdly, the agricultural operations keep the farmer
busy only for a part of the year and for the rest of the months he is
unemployed. This fact is referred to as under-employment, in our
agriculture. Lastly, the uncertainty and vagaries of Pakistani Mon-
soons render the agriculturist unemployed whenever the crops fail.
That is why the Pakistani agriculture is said to be a gamble of the
Monsoon. Due to all the above reason, the state of unemployment
in agriculture is growing worse every day. As far as the causes of
industrial unemployment are concerned, firstly our industrial system
is unable to absorb the growing population, because the industrial
development is not commensurate either with the vast resources of
the country or with the growth of its population. Secondly, the loca-
tion of industries is defective and uneconomic. There is overcrowd-
ing in certain areas which results in the rise of cost of production.
If the geographic distribution of the industries had been rationally
planned, the industrial structure would have been more economical
and its capacity for employment would have increased tremendously.
Thirdly, the periodic occurrence of depressions in the industry brings
about unemployment. Fourthly, the export industries have not been
able to maintain their hold on foreign markets. Thus there has been a
decrease in employment in the export industries which is transmitted
to other industrial sectors. The remedy for industrial unemployment
lies in stepping up industrial efficiency. Also the scope for the de-
veloping various industries is immense. Agriculture is already over
crowded and so are the liberal professions. Thus industry is the only
hope for rooting out unemployment from the country. To achieve
this, a complete overhauling, re-orientation and rationalization our
industrial system is needed. Unemployment is increasing in Sindh:
Unemployment in rural areas  as well in Urban is the most daunt-
By Shoaib Habib Memon 
ing challenge being faced by the new Sindh government. The rural
areas are fast losing their agriculture-based employment potential
due to persistent shortage of water and land degradation. Almost
14 million people in rural Sindh directly depend on agriculture as
their major source of livelihood. However, this source of livelihood
and employment is under severe pressure due to variety of reasons.
Drought, faulty water distribution mechanism, poor management of
water resources, land degradation, lack of research and inept mar-
ket policies are the few among the long list of reasons taking toll of
agriculture economy.
The situation can be gauged from the following table showing the
decline in area under cultivation. The table show the decline in area
sown under important crops from 1995-96 to 2004-05 Declining
produce has a direct bearing on rural poverty and employment. A
World Bank report, “Securing Sindh’s Future-The Prospects and
Challenges Ahead” paints a very grim picture of unemployment in
Sindh. It reveals that due to growing population, rise in literacy and
migration, and nearly 600,000 additional people would be entering
in job market each year in Sindh. This is in contrast with the long-
term annual job creation rate of 350,000 in the province. Over the
recent decade, Sindh has been frequently denied its due share in wa-
ter distribution. Growers have been complaining that water shortage
in canals and distributaries of Sindh has become a perennial prob-
lem. The new government would have to tackle this issue through
effective representation in IRSA and Wapda . Only judicious share
and efficient use of water can improve agriculture-related employ-
ment in rural Sindh. However, climate change effect is likely to in-
crease in the coming years and availability of water in river system
would continue to be a question mark. To manage this risk, there is
a need to diversify employment opportunities both in rural as well
as urban areas of the province. The Sindh government needs to
explore non-conventional avenues to create employment opportuni-
ties apart from revitalizing its agriculture sector. Agro-based indus-
try could provide some relief but incentives are required to attract
investment in rural areas. Poor law and order conditions and weak
infrastructure has also been a barrier to growth of agro-based indus-
try. The industry in Sindh is mainly concentrated in Karachi except
handful of units in Hyderabad, Kotri and Sukkur. Presently, about
11,500 small and large industrial units are located in four major
industrial areas of Karachi, providing employment to over 2.5 mil-
lion people. Since rural Sindh has predominantly agriculture based
economy, human resource required for industrial sector has not been
developed there. No significant investment was made in infrastruc-
ture required for promoting rural industry. Due to lack of demand
and poor administration, institutes of vocational training and job
skills are also in bad shape in rural areas. Presently, 45 polytechnic
and mono-technical institutes are operating in Sindh having about
18,000 registered students. However only 8,000 of them studied
in institutions located outside Karachi. Likewise, the Directorate
of Manpower and Training is operating about 33 training centers
including technical, apprenticeship and youth vocational training
centers. Most of such centers in rural areas are dysfunctional due
to various reasons. Proper training through revamped institutions
could open doors of urban- based employment for rural youth.
Quality education institutes in the rural areas also deserve atten-
tion for creating human resource with advanced degrees. Public
sector universities in rural Sindh are victims of lack of resources,
quality faculty and infrastructure. Graduates from these univer-
sities cannot compete with graduates from urban-based private
sector institutions. This is resulting in frustration among qualified
rural youth. Quality education institutions are mostly centered in
Karachi, which are too expensive for lower and middle class fami-
lies of rural areas. Presently, there are 25 HEC recognized degree
awarding private sector institutes in Sindh; 23 of them are located
in Karachi and remaining two in Hyderabad. From 2001/02 to
2005/06 these institutions produced over 36,000 graduates, all
from Karachi except 900 from Hyderabad. Information technol-
ogy is a promising sector offering wide spectrum of jobs nation-
ally and internationally. However, rural areas are deprived from
any significant benefit from this sector. According to a research
report of Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB), this sector is
providing jobs to about 138,000 employees and the number of job
opportunities is expected to be around 235,000 in 2009-10. Rural
areas are far from the scene. PESB website shows 1,161 registered
IT companies in the country. This includes 412 in Karachi, 331 in
Islamabad, 418 in Lahore and remaining in other cities/towns. In
Sindh, some 25 institutions offer degree courses in IT sector; 23 of
which are in Karachi alone and one each in Hyderabad and Tando
Allahyar. Due to such gap of access to IT education, rural youth
have very limited opportunities to benefit from this fast growing
job market. It is time that quality education centers in IT should be
established in all district headquarters to create more job opportu-
nities for educated youth from rural areas. The Sindh government
should devise a comprehensive strategy to tackle the challenge of
unemployment specially in rural areas. It would be advisable set
up a ‘human resource development and employment authority’
to execute long-term strategies for creating job opportunities for
rural and urban youth to reach out to national and international job
markets.
To create a socio-economic balance in urban and urban areas,
there is a dire need to provide basic educational training facilities
and employment opportunities across the province.

The Prophet is Born At a chaotic period in history when the murky clouds of impropriety covered the
firmament of the world; when injustice, tumult and turmoil was rampant; when human dignity was at
its lowest ebb, when young girls were entombed alive for being female, when the crevice between the
exploiter and exploited was incessantly mounting; when corruption, lascivious modes of behavior,
moral degeneration were increasing; when superstition, racial discrimination and oppression was the
order of the day … at that time, a Prophet was born; descending from the dynasty of Abraham the
idol-breaker, Moses the pharaoh-fighter, and Jesus the benevolent (peace be upon them). “Four years
after the death of (Roman emperor) Justinian, in 569 A.D., was born at Makkah in Arabia , the man
who of all men, exercised the greatest influence upon the human race, Muhammad” [Anglo-Ameri-
can historian and philosopher, Dr John William Draper, A History of the Intellectual Development of
Europe ] Sunnah of Compassion Allah refers to this greatest influence upon the human race (pbuh) as
“a mercy unto all existence” and as an “ideal exemplar”. These appellations were not mere titles given
to the Prophet, but were rather apt descriptions of his character and attitude. Some scholars have
therefore gone as far as to declare mercy as the central ethos of Islam. Those among us who claim to
walk in his footsteps need to ensure that we reflect that mercy in our own lives. An integral part of our
manifesting his sunnah (practices and mannerisms) is that we give priority to those aspects of social
engagement that he himself most concerned himself with. Each one should ask whether the poor, the
needy, the orphan and the oppressed are areas of our concern. How much of our religiosity is informed
and shaped by Prophetic statements like … - “One who strives to help the widows and the poor is like
the one who fights in the way of Allah. I shall regard him as the one who stands up (for prayer) with-
out rest and as the one who observes fasts continuously.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim] - “He who takes
care of an orphan, whether he is his relative or a stranger, will be in paradise with me like these
two”. The Messenger of Allah raised his forefinger and middle finger together by way of illustration.
[Muslim] Do we ever include in our prayers Prophetic sentiments like “O Allah, let me live among
the poor, die among the poor and be raised on the Day of Judgment among the poor”? It must be noted
that this is not a prayer for poverty, rather an expression of the desire to be connected to those less
fortunate and downtrodden. The most pervasive sunnah of the Prophet has always been one of com-
passion and benevolence. Ideal Exemplar This best role model for all humanity had outstanding vir-
tues and characteristics, he was an extraordinary husband, a perfect father, and a unique grandfather, a
great statesman, judge, and spiritual leader. His most distinctive quality, however, was the fact that he
was a blessing to all in both word and deed. He infused justice, love, and dignity in all those around
him. In the words of the Hindu scholar and historian, Professor Ramakrishna Rao, “The personality
of Muhammad is most difficult to get the whole truth of it. Only a glimpse of him I can catch. What
dramatic succession of picturesque scenes? There is Muhammad the Prophet; there is Muhammad
the General; Muhammad the King; Muhammad the Warrior; Muhammad the Businessman; Muham-
mad the Preacher; Muhammad the Philosopher; Muhammad the Statesman; Muhammad the Orator;
Muhammad the Reformer; Muhammad the Refuge of Orphans; Muhammad the Protector of Slaves;
Muhammad the Emancipator of Women; Muhammad the Judge; Muhammad the Saint… In all these
magnificent roles and in all these departments of human activities he is equally a hero.” [Professor
Ramakrishna Rao, Mohammed: The Prophet of Islam] Perpetuate the Legacy When we consider our
situation today; over fourteen hundred years after the exemplary mission of the Final Messenger, we
realize that we are more than ever in need of such inspiration and motivation. We are indeed more in
need of such a role model who represents the best legacy of our human heritage; a heritage of care and
compassion; and whose life message was an embodiment of the universal values that we all can share.

Pakistan cricket is very unpredictable.

The writer is a former journalist of a leading English daily and cur-
rently Editor of the TCP.
Corruption is a way of life in Pakistan, an accepted norm which is
widely practiced in government departments such as Police, Excise
and Customs and various other government agencies for as long as
one cares to remember. However, over the years it has seeped into
other areas also where previously it was not conceivable that it could
possibly happen. Cricket in Pakistan is almost a religion where de-
vout fans go into a virtual frenzy whenever the national team comes
out to play and cheer their team on frantically because for many
Pakistanis cricket offers a sense of joy, a feeling of pride as it is the
ultimate opiate which helps in escaping temporarily from a world
of daily grind and drudgery, from the violence and crime pervading
the nation. Fans virtually idolize their cricketing heroes from both
the past as well as the present where names like Imran Khan, Wa-
sim Akram and Javed Miandad are known to every Pakistani while
Shahid Afridi, Younis Khan, Mishbal-ul-Haq and Shoaib Akhtar are
their present day heroes. It has therefore come as a stunning shock
By Syed Ali Anwer
which the nation is still reeling under when it came to light that three
of the current cricket heroes namely Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif
and the new wonder kid Mohammad Amir were found guilty of spot
fixing by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and slapped with
a ten-year, seven-year and five year ban respectively. The decision
has sent ripples of shock waves in cricketing circles throughout the
world where reaction has been varied from shock, disbelief humilia-
tion condemnation and sympathy. To add fuel to the simmering fire
the trio has also been implicated in a Crowm Prosecution Services
case in London which has instituted criminal charges against the
three and the major provocateur Mazhar Majeed who enticed the
three into spot-fixing. There are some who opine that the ban was a
bit too harsh particularly in the case of Mohammad Amir who is only
18 years while others called for a life ban on the players for sullying
the nation and Pakistan cricket. What makes it more difficult for the
nation to accept is that the ban has come at a time when the nation
desperately needs the services and talent of the trio as s cricket’s
greatest extravaganza the World Cup 2011 starts in hardly two weeks
time in South Asia. So the question arises is this the beginning
of the end of Pakistan Cricket as we see it. TCP, spoke to a cross
section of society to sum up their opinion from sports journalists,
experts and just common people who have one thing in common,
a passionate and undying love for the game of cricket. Speak-
ing to TCP, Rishad Mahmood, the Sports Editor of Daily Dawn,
Pakistan’s leading English daily expressed his views that the
ban was aptly expected as more or less it was predicted that the
ban would be as specified. Asked if this was the end of the trio’s
careers, he stated that it would be difficult for Salman and Asif to
make a comeback while Amir had a chance because of his young
age but that too if younger and greater talent was not discov-
ered in the five years. About what the role the PCB should play
to avoid recurrence of such ugly incidents, Rishad pointed out
that PCB should establish a code of conduct and ethics whereby
players are not allowed under any circumstances to associate or
fraternize with outside elements whatsoever especially on foreign
tours. Another prominent cricket analyst and broadcaster who

Justice Department Records Show Former Pakistani President’s

New Political Ambitions
By Kevin Bogardus
Washington DC, USA, 26 February 2011 (The Hill) - [United
States] Justice Department records show that Pervaiz Musharaf,
the former [illegal] Pakistani president, who resigned under pres-
sure in 2008, still harbors political ambitions as his country read-
ies for its 2013 [or 2011] general elections. Pakistani-Americans
considered close to Musharaf have filed registration forms with
the [US] Justice Department’s Foreign Agent Registration Unit
this week to represent the former Army Chief of Staff as well as
his own political party, the All Pakistan Muslim League [APML],
here in the United States. Once considered a close U.S. ally in
the [illegal and fraudulent] war against terror, Musharaf soon
found himself in hot water with the international community after
his government cracked down on a lawyer- led pro-democracy
movement in his country. After facing calls for his impeachment,
Musharaf would step down in 2008. The ex-military general now
lives in London [UK] where he launched his political party last
year. Musharaf has said he plans to return to Pakistan in the future
and run for political office. His representatives here in the United
States could help further his ambitions. Raza Bokhari, a Pakistani-
American, has had “a personal relationship” with Musharaf since
2004 and, beginning last summer, has voluntarily been operating the
former general’s “global office”; “coordinating paid public lectures”;
and “serving as a liaison to a speakers’ bureau,” according to Justice
records. Bokhari registered “out of the abundance of caution” be-
cause he might end up doing “political activity” on behalf of Mush-
araf here in the United States, such as scheduling meetings between
the former military man and [US] government officials. “Since he
maintains a political profile, it is better safe than sorry,” Bokhari told
The Hill. Another Pakistani-American and former Musharaf politi-
cal appointee, Nasim Ashraf, has filed registration forms to represent
Musharraf’s political party. According to [US] Justice Department
records, the party has organized “community events” in America
where Musharaf has spoken at and plans to raise funds for its U.S.
operations. The party registered “out the abundance of caution” and
does not plan to fundraise for its Pakistani counterpart. Ashraf said
the party has organized about 11 events in U.S. cities so far, resulting
in local party chapters. “The whole idea was to create a grass-roots
movement here,” Ashraf said. “Our goal is to raise funds here for
our political education and community activities of Pakistani-
Americans and other like-minded individuals.” Musharaf may be
in need of all the support that he can get. A Pakistani arrest warrant
has been issued for the ex-general due to his alleged involvement
in the 2007 plot to assassinate [PPP Chairwoman] Benazir Bhutto,
charges that he has denied in the past. Bokhari dismissed the war-
rant, saying there were no ties between Musharaf and the [Benazir]
assassination plot. “It is unwarranted judicial activism that has
been prevailing there for quite some time now,” Bokhari said. “It
is more political than anything else.” An United Nations investiga-
tion released last year criticized the Musharaf government for not
providing [Benazir] Bhutto with adequate enough security when
she was killed [on 27 December 2007, in Rawalpindi, Pakistan]

Lemon (Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells. It is
10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy . Why do we not know
about that? Because there are laboratories interested in making a
synthetic version that will bring them huge profits. You can now
help a friend in need by letting him/her know that lemon juice is
beneficial in preventing the disease. Its taste is pleasant and it does
not produce the horrific effects of chemotherapy. How many people

fascinating: it comes from one of the largest drug manufacturers

The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times better than the
product Adriamycin, a drug normally used chemotherapeutic in
the world, slowing the growth of cancer cells. And what is even
more astonishing: this type of therapy with lemon extract only de-
stroys malignant cancer cells and it does not affect healthy cells.

Medical Board Suspends Beaumont Psychiatrist Rajen Desai, M.D.

On January 26, 2011, a Disciplinary Panel of the Texas Medical Board entered an Order of Tempo-
rary Suspension (With Notice of Hearing) against Rajen Desai, M.D., of Beaumont, suspending his
medical license after determining that Dr. Desai’s continuation in the practice of medicine constitutes
a continuing threat to the public welfare. The Board’s action was based on the finding that Dr. Desai,
Lic. No. J1649, engaged in a pattern of inappropriate conduct towards patients and/or their family
members. Specifically, the Board found that Dr. Desai engaged in unsolicited, sexually inappropri-
ate behavior or comments directed towards a patient; pursued an unwanted personal relationship
with a patient in an inappropriate manner; and behaved in an abusive or assaultive manner towards
a patient’s family member in such a way as could adversely impact the quality of care rendered to a
patient. The suspension is effective immediately and remains in effect until the Board takes further
action. specially to those individuals who are, for some reasons, reluctant to take drink with their
food altogether may find this info useful.

100,000 converts to Islam living in the UK -
with white women most keen to embrace Muslim faith
About 5,200 people in UK adopted faith last year alone
Convert: Lauren Booth, the sister-in-
law of former Prime Minister Tony
Blair, attracted a lot of publicity when
she announced she had adopted the
Islamic faith last year The number of
converts to Islam living in Britain has
surged to 100,000 from just 60,000 a
decade ago, a report revealed today.
White women are leading the growing
number of people in the UK embracing
the Muslim faith. Converts have risen
from around 60,000 in 2001 to up to
90,000 to 100,000 today, according to
estimates in a report for the Faith Mat-
ters organization. Around 5,200 people
in the UK adopted the faith in the last
year alone. Lauren Booth, sister-in-law
of former prime minister Tony Blair,
attracted widespread publicity when she announced last year that she
had converted to Islam.
A survey of 122 converts last year showed 56 per cent were white
British, with women making up 62 per cent of respondents. The
average age at conversion was just over 27, research conducted by
Kevin Brice, of Swansea University , found. The majority reported
difficulties after embracing Islam because of the negative attitudes of
their family. However, over time this attitude became more ‘positive’
according to the report.
The majority of the converts saw themselves as both British and
Muslim and did not feel disillusioned with British society and cul-
ture. But they felt their own lives had been ‘lost’ and were ‘lacking
in purpose’ before conversion. They feared that there was a ‘normal-
ization’ of ‘immoral’ behavior amongst an increasingly less religious
British public.
Contented: Lynne Ali, 31, a mother-of-two adopted the Islamic
faith when she was 19. She said: ‘This is the real me - I am happy

to have found an ‘escape route’ from her old life. ‘I went to an old
friend’s 21st birthday party in a bar,’ she said. ‘I walked in, wear-
ing my hijab and modest clothing, and saw how ­everyone else had
so much flesh on display. They were drunk, slurring their words
and dancing provocatively. ‘For the first time, I could see my for-
mer life with an outsider’s eyes, and I knew I could never go back
to that. ‘I am so grateful I found my escape route. This is the real
me — I am happy to pray five times a day and take classes at the
mosque. I am no longer a slave to a broken society and its expec-
tations.’ The survey showed that the majority of converts dis-
agreed with the niqab, or face veil, in spite of supporting the right
of women to wear it. ‘Converts do not represent a devious fifth
column determined to undermine the Western way of life - this is
a group of normal people united in their adherence to a religion
which they, for the most part,
see as perfectly compatible
with Western life,’ the report
said. ‘Converts are generally
at ease living in the UK and do
not feel that British people are

What would you do?....you make the choice. Don’t look for a punch line, there isn’t one.
Read it anyway. My question is: Would you have made the same choice?
At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves
children with learning disabilities, the father of
one of the students delivered a speech that would
never be forgotten by all who attended. After
extolling the school and its Dedicated staff, he
offered a question: ‘When not interfered with by
outside influences, everything nature does, is done
with perfection. Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn
things as other children do. He cannot understand
things as other children do. Where is the natural
order of things in my son?’
The audience was stilled by the query. The father
continued. ‘I believe that when a child like Shay,
who was mentally and physically disabled comes
into the world, an opportunity to realize true hu-
man nature presents itself, and it comes in the
way other people treat that child.’ Then he told
the following story: Shay and I had walked past
a park where some boys Shay knew were playing
baseball. Shay asked, ‘Do you think they’ll let
me play?’ I knew that most of the boys would not
want someone like Shay on their team, but as a fa-
ther I also understood that if my son were allowed
to play, it would give him a much-needed sense
of belonging and some confidence to be accepted
by others in spite of his handicaps. I approached
one of the boys on the field and asked (not expect-
ing much) if Shay could play. The boy looked
around for guidance and said, ‘We’re losing by
six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I
guess he can be on our team and we’ll try to put
him in to bat in the ninth inning..’ Shay struggled
over to the team’s bench and, with a broad smile,
put on a team shirt.. I watched with a small tear
in my eye and warmth in my heart. The boys saw
my joy at my son being accepted. In the bottom
of the eighth inning, Shay’s team scored a few
runs but was still behind by three. In the top of
the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played
in the right field. Even though no hits came his
way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the
game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as
I waved to him from the stands. In the bottom of
the ninth inning, Shay’s team scored again. Now,
with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential
winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled
to be next at bat. At this juncture, do they let Shay
bat and give away their chance to win the game?
Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone
knew that a hit was all but impossible because
Shay didn’t even know how to hold the bat prop-
erly, much less connect with the ball. However, as
Shay stepped up to the Plate, the pitcher, recog-
nizing that the other team was putting winning
aside for this moment in Shay’s life, moved in a
few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at
least make contact. The first pitch came and Shay
swung clumsily and missed. The pitcher again
took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly
towards Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung
at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back
to the pitcher. The game would now be over. The
pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could
have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman.
Shay would have been out and that would have
been the end of the game. Instead, the pitcher
threw the ball right over the first baseman’s head,
out of reach of all team mates. Everyone from the
stands and both teams started yelling, ‘Shay, run
to first! Run to first!’ Never in his life had Shay
ever run that far, but he made it to first base. He
scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and
startled. Everyone yelled, ‘Run to second, run to
second!’ Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran
towards second, gleaming and struggling to make
it to the base. By the time Shay rounded towards
second base, the right fielder had the ball . The
smallest guy on their team who now had his first
chance to be the hero for his team. He could have
thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the
tag, but he understood the pitcher’s intentions so
he, too, intentionally threw the ball high and far
over the third-baseman’s head. Shay ran toward
third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him
circled the bases toward home.
All were screaming, ‘Shay, Shay, Shay, all the
Way Shay’ Shay reached third base because the
opposing shortstop ran to help him by turning him
in the direction of third base, and shouted, ‘Run to
third! Shay, run to third!’ As Shay rounded third,
the boys from both teams, and the spectators, were
on their feet screaming, ‘Shay, run home! Run
home!’ Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate,
and was cheered as the hero who hit the grand
slam and won the game for his team ‘That day’,
said the father softly with tears now rolling down
his face, ‘the boys from both teams helped bring a
piece of true love and humanity into this world’.
Shay didn’t make it to another summer. He died
that winter, having never forgotten being the hero
and making me so happy, and coming home and
seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero
of the day!
AND NOW A LITTLE FOOT NOTE TO THIS
STORY:
We all send thousands of jokes through the e-
mail without a second thought, but when it comes
to sending messages about life choices, people
hesitate. The crude, vulgar, and often obscene
pass freely through cyberspace, but public dis-
cussion about decency is too often suppressed in
our schools and workplaces. If you’re thinking
about forwarding this message, chances are that
you’re probably sorting out the people in your
address book who aren’t the ‘appropriate’ ones
to receive this type of message Well, the person
who sent you this believes that we all can make a
difference. We all have thousands of opportunities
every single day to help realize the ‘natural order
of things.’ So many seemingly trivial interactions
between two people present us with a choice: Do
we pass along a little spark of love and humanity
or do we pass up those opportunities and leave
the world a little bit colder in the process? A wise
man once said every society is judged by how it
treats it’s least fortunate amongst them.

Amazing But A True Story

This is a true story that had happened in 1892 at Stanford University. Its moral is still relevant
today.  A young, 18-year-old student was struggling to pay his fees. He was an orphan, and not know-
ing where to turn for money, he came up with a bright idea. A friend and he decided to host a musical
concert on campus to raise money for their education.  They reached out to the great pianist Ignacy J.
Paderewski. His manager demanded a guaranteed fee of $2000 for the piano recital. A deal was struck.
And the boys began to work to make the concert a success. The big day arrived. Paderewski performed
at Stanford. But unfortunately, they had not managed to sell enough tickets. The total collection was
only $1600. Disappointed, they went to Paderewski and explained their plight. They gave him the
entire $1600, plus a cheque for the balance $400. They promised to honor the cheque soonest possible.
“No.” said Paderewski. “This is not acceptable.” He tore up the cheque, returned the $1600 and told
the two boys “Here’s the $1600. Please deduct whatever expenses you have incurred. Keep the money
you need for your fees. And just give me whatever is left” The boys were surprised, and thanked him
profusely. It was a small act of kindness. But it clearly marked out Paderewski as a great human be-
ing. Why should he help two people he did not even know? We all come across situations like these
in our lives. And most of us only think “If I help them, what would happen to me?” The truly great
people think, “If I don’t help them, what will happen to them?” They don’t do it expecting something
in return. They do it because they feel it’s the right thing to do. Paderewski later went on to become the
Prime Minister of Poland. He was a great leader, but unfortunately when the World War began, Poland
was ravaged. There were over 1.5 million people starving in his country, and no money to feed them.
Paderewski did not know where to turn for help. He reached out to the US Food and Relief Adminis-
tration for help. The head there was a man called Herbert Hoover - who later went on to become the
US President. Hoover agreed to help and quickly shipped tons of food grains to feed the starving Pol-
ish people. A calamity was averted.  Paderewski was relieved. He decided to go across to meet Hoover
and personally thank him. When Paderewski began to thank Hoover for his noble gesture, Hoover
quickly interjected and said, “You shouldn’t be thanking me Mr. Prime Minister. You may not remem-
ber this, but several years ago, you helped two young students go through college in the US. I was one
of them.”
The world is a wonderful place. What goes around usually comes around.

Muslim Charity Squandered Money For Poor

wealth each year to the poor. To mark the beginning of Ramadan, Ashraf sent out a letter in August
2010 urging all of ISNA Canada’s members to donate money for “helping needy Muslims not only in
Canada, but all over the World.” The auditor, brought in by the ISNA Canada board, took issue with
how charity cash was used to cover everything from beefing up security — including $60,000 for
installing cameras and frequently changing locks — to health benefits for Ashraf’s daughters, even
though they don’t work for ISNA Canada. The organization has been spending more than $6,500 each
year on the health plans for Ashraf’s daughters, Saadia and Uzma. Saadia’s premium has since been
returned, the audit said. “Spending for personal expenses out of the charity’s funds is unethical,” the
auditor wrote, saying it is “tantamount to misappropriation of funds.” The audit shows tens of thou-
sands of charity dollars were shuffled from ISNA Canada to its affiliated services and businesses,
several of which have secretary-general Ashraf as a director. Federal rules forbid charities from spend-
ing donations on business activities that do not aid the charity. The organization has “put an end” to
the inappropriate transferring of money as well as taken “financial matters out of the hands” of Ashraf,
Bekkari said. Ashraf has defended himself in a memo posted on the organization’s website. In it,
Ashraf told the members that the audit showed there had been “No instances of fraud, embezzlement,
misappropriation of funds or any deliberate wrong doings in handling of the financial affairs of ISNA
Canada.” The auditor noted his scope was limited and “consequently I was not able to follow the trail
of funds transferred from ISNA to other organizations.” “Hence I cannot conclude with certainty that
there has been no misappropriation or embezzlement of funds or cash.” The audit’s scope was in part
restricted because the organization’s management refused to give the auditor certain documents, the
board’s president said. ISNA Canada’s board of directors is in the midst of hiring a firm to a conduct
a more thorough audit. “(The audit) raised concerned for us, it opened our eyes,” Bekkari said. “As a
board, we need much higher level of certainty to answer your questions.” The auditor also uncovered
multiple cases where Ashraf or the organization inappropriately gave and received charity tax receipts,
repeatedly violating federal charity rules. In a review of the financial statements for the halal meat
certification agency, a business branch of the Society that certifies meat as permissible to eat under Is-
lamic rules, the auditor discovered Ashraf had received a $15,000 tax receipt after moving money from
the agency’s business account over to ISNA Canada and claiming it was a “personal donation.” Former
board members told the Star Ashraf diverted profits from the certification agency to a secret account
from which he paid himself and at least two family members. They say the board had no knowledge
of this. The business’ revenue from the halal certification business is “supposed to come to the par-
ent organization” as the donations do, said Syed Imtiaz Ahmad, former president of ISNA Canada.
“(Ashraf) was directing it to an account he had opened and not telling us,” he said. The agency’s funds
were also used from 2005 to 2009 to pay Ashraf’s wife and one of his daughters nearly $150,000 for
a handful of services, from consulting and promotions to putting together a newsletter that comes out
four times a year, according to financial statements. There were also three cases where people received
charity tax receipts from ISNA Canada for repaying scholarship loans. The organization’s management
told the auditor the borrowers “insisted that they will return the loan only if the tax receipt is issued.”
(Federal charity receipts are only to be issued for true charitable donations). The Society also issued
charity receipts — more than $42,000 in 2009 — to those who purchased funeral services through the
organization. “Tax receipts have to be issued for only donations to the charity and not for any other
purposes,” the auditor said in his report. The organization had a world-renowned Islamic scholar on
its payroll, despite her not actually working for ISNA, in a bid to help her immigrate to Canada, the
audit revealed. Farhat Hashmi had been invited to come from Pakistan to deliver lectures several times
throughout the mid-2000s. “This is a serious violation of the (Canadian Revenue Agency) rules and
immigration rules to hire someone just in the books to help get through immigration,” the auditor’s
report said. Bekkari, the organization’s president, said he didn’t know any specifics about the scholar
or how much she was paid. “I have bigger issues than that,” he said. ISNA Canada is governed by a
board consisting of 15 members including Ashraf. Ashraf was contacted multiple times, but repeatedly
refused to comment. Attempts to speak with his wife and his daughters were unsuccessful. Ashraf’s
reign at ISNA Canada will come to an end March 31. The online posting announcing Ashraf’s retire-
ment applauded his work for having “been instrumental in the evolution of ISNA Canada” as well as
in the development of the organization’s stately mosque in Mississauga.

Is Egypt Going To Become Pakistan?

K. Ashraf
We credited Pakistani analysts; commentators and anchormen with the habit of getting carried away
with lofty notions like replication of Egyptian events in Pakistan. Now we see some western analysts
also expressing identical views.  None other than the US Vice President Joe Biden is included among
them. Few days ago, he voiced similar concerns. Can events like Cairo repeat in Pakistan? There is
a remote possibility that Egyptian events will repeat in Pakistan. Pakistan is not following Egypt it is
Egypt that is following Pakistan. Pakistan witnessed similar events three years ago. Those events gave
birth to present day political set-up—a negotiated democracy. Egyptians will get a similar set-up once
they are done with their march. Hosni Mubarak will leave, but they will get their own Asif Zardari
along with a Prime Minister like Yousaf Reza Gilani. They will give similar run around to Egyptians
that President Zardari and Prime Minister Yousaf Reza Gilani are giving to the people of Pakistan. It
is not because President Zardari and Prime Minister Yousaf Reza Gilani want it so it is because of the
embedded flaws of the system they agreed to work within. That’s exactly what happens when politi-
cians of smaller countries compromise and settle for negotiated political systems. At the moment
millions of Egyptians are out on the streets in effort to overthrow Mr. Hosni Mubarak. However, their
leaders are negotiating a Pakistan like system to replace present political dispensation in Egypt. Their
euphoria will start to dissipate once they will have to bear the results of their struggle like Pakistanis.
Reading the signals emanating from Tunisia, Jordan and Egypt PPP, the ruling party, has decided to
dissolve the three year old cabinet. This cabinet did not achieve much within last three years. Their
replacement Ministers will not either achieve much in remainder of the PPP tenure. Firstly, a few key
ministers of outgoing cabinet will remain part of the incoming cabinet. Those who are leaving and
those who remain lacked leadership guidance. The guidance was supposed to come from Party leader-
ship, but Mr. Zardari, who simultaneously holds two offices, the office of the President of Pakistan
and Co-Chair of the ruling party, was overwhelmed with the daunting events of previous three years.
Secondly, with key ministers remaining the same the new ministers will become part of the PPP’s
political swamp. No matter how good new ministers Mr. Zardari picks with the embedded flaws of
the system nothing will be achieved by the end of next two years. The maximum PPP will be able to
boast about in next elections would be the passage of 18th amendment, NFC awards and inclusion of
Gilgit in mainstream political process. Electric shortages will be as bad as they have been for the last
three years. Economic down-turn will continue. Inflationary trend will remain constant. The prices of
essential commodities will remain out of the reach of common folks. Criminal elements will continue
their activities uninterrupted. Law and order situation will remain bleak. In other words, nothing will
change. So instead of worrying about the repetition of Egypt like events in Pakistan the Pakistani and
international analysts should worry about the repetition of Pakistan like events in Egypt, which means
a negotiated democracy for the poor Egyptians—a mirror image of Pakistan—a dysfunctional govern-
ment system.

Saharo’s Focus: SAHARO IN PICTORIAL ACTIVITIES

Saharo Foundation is actively engaged in Flood Relief Activities within Pakistan with focus on Sindh area where
thousands of children and women are exposed to diseases, and are easy target of human smuggling. Saharo has over
200 volunteers on ground who are consistently sending complains about rap attempts, lack of food, no clean water,
shortage of clothes, depression in women, diarrhea in children, and countless other issues flood victims are facing due
to worst floods in Pakistan’s history, a disaster worst than Haitian earthquake. Saharo in association with an American
Doctor working on a project of Ceramic water filters, and long lasting “domes” http://www.naturalspacesdomes.com/.
One dome is being tested in Mirpurkhas Sindh area, this model dome will be ready soon and will give us idea of cost.
Saharo Foundation is also working on creating jobs, we are sponsoring few trainees in Karachi, who will get bakery
training and will start working after three months. Saharo is also working to empower rural women by providing them
sewing/art training, and will establish their access to International market. Volunteers are willing to ship items which
will be made solely by these flood victims. This money will go to victims. How can you help Sponsor a DOME or a
TRAINEE. Donate for Saharo’s projects generously. Bring us ideas, help us write Project Plan, do marketing for us, get
involved, send email to your contacts. One American Businessman has agreed to MATCH any donation which is com-
mitted on monthly
basis. For example if someone would pledge to DONATE any amount on monthly basis which is vital for our projects,
then this businessman will MATCH that amount every month. Please pledge even a $1, it will certainly help. Make a di-
rect deposit in Saharo’s account directly. We don’t embarrass, we don’t make fun, even a penny can make a difference.
These flood re-construction projects will take years to complete, don’t let these victims suffer in upcoming cold.
