"رائیونڈ کا "کدو" وزیر اعظم اور بنی گالا کا "لال بجھکڑ
تحریر : حدید احمد شیر
خدا کا شکر ہے کہ جمہوریت کی جڑیں آہستہ آہستہ قوم میں سرایت کرتی جا رہی ہیں .. دودھ کے دانت رکھنے والی جماعتیں بھی اب سپیکر کے انتخاب میں دو تین درجن ووٹ لے ہی جاتی ہیں . مگر کیا کریں کہ وہ بھولا "کدو" وزیر اعظم وہ رائیونڈ کا پپو بچہ جسے بقول کچھ قبر میں ٹانگیں لٹکاۓ حوالدار "ابّا جی " کی بصیرت اور مشوروں کے سوا ٹکے کی عقل نہیں ، سیاسی بساط پر ایک کے بعد ایک شاہ مات دے رہا ہے . اندازہ کریں ان کا جن کی سن انیس سو اکتالیس سے چلتی پاکستان کی "واحد " غیر موروثی جماعت اپنی موت آپ مرتی نظر آ رہی ہے بے بس اور بے عقل دکھائی دے رہے ہیں . حال ہی میں اس پنجابی کی مثال والے "سدھے " وزیر اعظم نے لودھراں میں کسان پیکج کا اعلان کر کے بھرپور سیاسی چال چلی اور ہمارے سب سے "کمال " عقل کل نے اس کھائی میں گر کر میاں کو سیاسی شہ مات کا ایک اور تمغہ عطا کیا .. مجھ سوشل میڈیا کے اپنے تئیں دانشور بنے انسان کو بھی اس بات کی سمجھ آ گئی کہ میاں نے ایک لوڈڈ چال چلی ہے جس کے خلاف جا کر بھی بنی گالا کا لال بجھکڑ مرتا ہے اور حق میں جا کر بھی ہارتا ہے .سیدھی سی بات ہے اگر لودھراں کے جلسے میں کئے کسان پیکج پر عملدرآمد روک دیا جاتا ہے تو کسان کا اکثریتی ووٹ نون کو جاۓ گا اور اگر نہیں روکا جاتا جہانگیر ترین کو گھاٹا تب بھی ہے .. مگر سوال یہ ہے کہ اس چال کا ماہرانہ جواب کیا ہوتا .. چونکہ یہ ایک مشکل سوال ہے لہٰذا بجاے اس کے کیوں نا شتر مرغ کے مصداق ریت میں سر دباۓ میاں کو بونگا بونگا کہا جاۓ شائد اسی سے میاں کو شاہ مات ہو جاۓ ..

What handicapped PTI in Cantonment Board elections ?
Aristophanes once wrote, roughly translated; "Youth ages, immaturity is outgrown, ignorance can be educated, and drunkenness sobered, but STUPID lasts forever". So what caused the dent in cantonment elections to PTI, to which most of us were considering their bastion. For me there are several reasons behind their fall in their so called "strongholds" and being a pro-taliban party is the biggest of all. Lets outline them and discuss them but before that have a look on the composition of cantonment board elections.
Composition of CB elections.
The election was held after a gap of 17 years, wonder why the founder of nazim system did not conducted CB elections during his 8 years of dictatorship. The election was held in the following cantonments of Pakistan.
Hyderabad, Jehlum, Karachi(Faisal Cant, Maora Cant, Clifton Cant, Karachi Cant,Malir Cant, Korangi Cant),Lahore (Cant CB and Walton CB), Multan, Muree, Panu Aqil, Peshawar, Rawalpindi, Sargodha, Quetta,More than 1150 candidates filed their papers for a total of 199 seats in CB elections. Following parties granted tickets to their party workers
- Pakistan Muslim League (N)
- Pakistan People's Party Parliamentarians (PPP)
- Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI)
- Mutehada Qaumi Movement (MQM)
- Jamat e Islami (JI)
- Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT)
- Jamiat e ulemaai Islam (JUI)
- Pakistan Muslim League Quaid e Azam (PMLQ)
- The dharna and language of IK affected the voters.
- The dispelling performance in KPK is the reason.
- PTIs love for taliban is the reason.
1: The aftermath of DHARNA
Most of the people i interact with twitter believe that the bawdy licentious language and the jingoistic behavior during the so called AZADI MARCH and its 4 months long shooting is the actual connection behind the defeat of PTI in CB elections. They presuppose that dharna had a negative impact because the people dislike the approach he adopted. However, in my point of view this is not the dominant factor. My reasoning is based on the fact that we as a nation are political TAMASHBEEN. We love to see the politicians abusing each other publicly, mudslinging is perhaps the best thing to watch. Our people are so much found of gossips and loose talk, its just feast for their ears and potlatch for their eyes to see Imran Khan ranting continuously for 4 months, mimicking the seasoned Baloch leaders, attaining the bulls eye in below the belt hitting and that too on daily a fresh target. Someday telling people that the PM will be having wet shalwars, next day threatening Shahid Afridi, the day after that he was intimidating the IGP ISB and so on. Secondly, the majority of the PTI supporters are revolutionary kittens who are always free to abuse, decry and vilify anyone who shows discomfort with the politics of Imran Khan and this is the problem in democracy, that majority is the authority. So what i want to say is that bawdy talk of Imran Khan during the so called Azadi march has nothing to do with their defeat. Such things, in national politics in general and for PTI in particular, only helps them getting new lot of frustrated abusers. Therefore, this reason comes at #3.
2. The dispelling performance of PTI in KPK
This is another reason that can be considered, however i ranked it #2 because, there is always a margin of performance in the electoral result. No tangible project is currently under implementation stage in KPK. Other than the so called non political police force they are emerging, which btw has nothing to do with on ground practice, they have no performance in any sector. Health, education, public service, transportation, road infrastructure, energy generation, mining, tourism, law and order and so on. You name it and a failure of PTI is there. Not one project , i repeat not a dime of work has been implemented. The fraud of education emergency which was shifted to Reham khan's Tameer e School program was discussed in an earlier blog, however as i have written that stupidity remains forever, the construction of 350 dams announced last year and the fresh bullshit is the plantation of 1 Billion trees in a province that has an area of 74521 sq Km. Conclusion: PTI has nothing to showcase when it come to their performance in KPK.
3. PTIs love for Taliban
In 2013, the jail break o DI Khan was instrumented. PTI chairman Imran Khan, instantly typed a tweet, putting all responsibility on the ANP lead previous government. However, he never bothered to answer why the inquiry report of DIKhan Jail break was held in the office of CM KPK or more than 8 month. He also never told this nation that how many of those who fled from the jail are arrested again. He never helped the federal law enforcement agencies in maintaining law and order. His views about the IDPs was a total nonsense, about them he said " They are not our responsibility". He insisted about meeting the CoAS regarding the army operation in FATA, which has nothing to do with the KPK government, and while it was a classified meeting, he told media about the possible success rate of the war against Taliban. He and his ministers were so vocal about their crush on Taliban that while he demanded to have Taliban's office in Peshawar, his ministers offered them ministries of religious affairs. And i think that this is the reason, that haunted the residents of cantonment the most. His love for Taliban is evident from the fact that his party tried to deceive the public by spreading false information. Having, said that we can assume that not all but majority of the people living in cantonment board dislikes the pro Taliban attitude and that's the reason behind the downfall of PTI.

Political stability | Lets take the first step...
Political stability | Lets take the first step...
by: Hadeed Sher |
| Military dictators of Pakistan |
Case I : Pakistan Peoples Party
PPP is a leftist party and has its vote bank on the name of Roti, Kapra aur Makan besides the ALIVE BHUTTOISM. After the Raymond Davis episode the party member Shah Mehmood Qureshi left PPP and joined PTI. He was slammed by the Federal information minister Firdos Ashiq Awan publicly for ditching the PPP. PPP followers too followed their leadership in this regard and used humiliated remarks against him on social media sites like facebook and twitter.
Case II : Pakistan Tehreek Insaaf
Case III : Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz
PMLN supporters are mostly calm as seen when JH left the party back in December 2011. Not even a single point of abuse was witnessed on the social media supporters. However, the party know how to sideline those who speaks publicly about the improvements. Examples are Sir Injam Khan from KPK, Khosas from Punjab and Ghoas Ali Shah in Sindh.
Looking at these three cases following things comes in mind.
- Why political parties in Pakistan are based on personalities.
- Which political party has dedicated authority of party heads over the administrative heads like ministers.
- Why the politics based on like and dislike is prevailing?
You see point is simple, Imran Khan wants to end the dynastic politics but elected unopposed for the next 5 years after ruling party for 16 years. Asad Qaisar the head PTI KPK has relatives in assemblies, so is true for the Pervaiz Khattak, the dancing guy. But isn't this true that Jaffar Iqbal has 6 members of family as parliamentarians in the capacity of MNA or MPA ? Isn't this true that those bashing khosa on his televised interview, close their eyes when it comes to the appointment of Ch. Sarwar as governor Punjab. People do simple calculation based on 1+1 = 2. They say Khosa has failed to grab more than 1 seat from DG Khan, therefore we don't need them. Lets discard them on the basis of their poor electoral performance. I want the same stance on people like Nihal Hashmi, Saleem Zia and Iqbal Zafar Jaghra, because they too are not able to get one pity seat from their home constituencies. However, the political realities are not about winning candidates but about those who have fought for democracy. Our political parties have no mechanism of promoting the worker to the level of ministers, that is why Saad Rafiq was so right in saying that In Pakistan you can not be among the leadership unless you provide hefty amounts for workers and party. You will be considered loyal worker but certainly not a leader.
In democratic countries, party head position is considered more stronger than the premier post. That is why Sonia Gandhi nominated Manmohan Singh as PM. BJP president Rajnath Singh nominated Narender Modi as the PM and later took oath in his cabinet as minister of Home affairs (Rajnath resigned as party head after oath). It happens when you have democratic structures working properly where an ordinary worker can dream of reaching the premier seat without being afraid of being sidelined by the party head. However, in Pakistan people go for the party positions while party is in opposition, but love to grab the ministerial positions when party forms a government. Therefore, my request is to raise your voice for the reforms in the party structure without pin pointing the shady areas of anyone who criticize the party. I mean whats wrong if someone from the party comes on the TV because for the past 2 years party has not called its general meeting of workers. Because, the party structure in Punjab is controlled by a full time chief minister who has no time to look into the party affairs. The party supporters should consider positive criticism to rectify the issues. The age of mudslinging and character assassination has gone long time, PTI is a living example of this particular mindset. If you don't allow people to speak their hearts at the right platform they will certainly look for the alternatives. The political parties in Pakistan should give us a mechanism where the party stays strong, independent of the personalities. When it will happen that will be the first step towards the political stability in Pakistan.

The unanswered questions !!
Saulat Mirza's confessional statement has buzzed the Pakistani media and nowadays every other talk show is discussing about the allegations of a convicted person. Interviewing the wife of Saulat mirza the assasin, live on this issue and calling the son of the slain MD KESC live from NY are the hot cakes in market. The anchor asks question about involvement of MQM in target killings to boost the rating of the talk show. However the real question, that who is the actual force ceasing the execution of Saulat mirza time and again ? Who is responsible of taking a video recorder inside a death cell to record the confessional statement hours before he was supposed to be executed? The silence of media on this issue tells the sanity and objectivity of media.
The enigma of Pakistani politics is always a fuzzy subject and while it is understood that most of the media personalities are on the pay roll of WAQAR, the question is who is stopping who to accomplish different tasks ? Like for instance, consider the resignation drama, officially played between PTI and PMLN. Like what force on earth halted the speaker NA to accept the resignations of the rouge PTI ? Who approached him to accept the resignation of Javed Hashmi after he busted the conspiracy balloon of long march? How sanity prevailed after the Mummy retruns to the NA ? Talking about politics when PMLN failed to elevate Hasil Buzinjo as a strong candidate for the seat of chairman senate, then came the principle of democracy " He who has the majority should be given a fair chance". And hence, Raza rabbani nomination was supported and was widely hailed on social media as a step forward for democracy.
Lets try to relate the above two issues. The issue of saluat mirza and the cowardish attitude of speaker NA on the issues of resignation are two current prime examples of how they think about us. The media and the politicians are successful in making people fool, time and again by overdosing them about the non issues. Instead of grilling government about how a confessional statement was recorded inside a deeathcell hours before an assasin's execution, every other day they are fanning dust in the wind by calling the son of slain MD KESC and the wife of the assassin. The politicians on the other side are deceiving people in the name of democracy. I mean in which democracy people have no right to elect a new representative after he/she resigns ? What justification PMLN has for over 20 constituencies who had no representation for the past 7 months ? Is it like PMLN was not confidant about winning those seats or it was a planned mukmuka between PTI and PMLN. Speaker NA Sardar Ayyaz Sadiq's duty was to protect the parliament in which he failed. The legal cases filled on Imran Khan and Tahir ul Qadri are seen no where in the legal system so that they can be prosecuted for the grieve act of attack on parliament. Speaker NA was bound to act according to the rules of business that states that even if some member has not rendered his resignation, if he/she is absent from the proceedings of the NA for a specific time, speaker NA should process to vacate that seat. The seat of speaker NA is a neutral seat and if someone is obeying party policy while occupying this seat, he deserves to take all the credit of wrongdoings and alas the BAKRI speaker failed in protecting parliament and ensuring the representation of over 20 constituencies of Pakistan. Contrary to this the SHERDIL president of PMLN acted on the issue of Wajih uz Zaman (MPA KPK) and aptly thrown him out of the PA of KPK.

ریٹنگ کی دوڑ میں میڈیا کا کردار اور غیر مصدقہ خبروں کی بھیڑ چال
ریٹنگ کی دوڑ میں میڈیا کا کردار اور غیر مصدقہ خبروں کی بھیڑ چال
تحریر : محمّد افضال فاروقی
اسلامی جمہوریہ پاکستان کا وجود سن سینتالیس میں ہوا۔تقریبا بیس برسوں بعد پاکستان میں ٹیلی ویژن کی ابتدا ہوئی ۔ پاکستان میں ٹیلی ویژن کو عام ہوئے چار عشروں کا وقت ہی ہوا ہے۔ پی ٹی وی کی پاکستان میں پیدائش کے وقت ایوب کا دور تھا۔ ڈکٹیٹر کے دور میں شروع ہونے والے اس ٹی وی کے ڈبے نے پی ٹی وی سے پرائیوٹ ٹی وی چینل کا سفر تیس برسوں میں طے کیا ۔ دوہزار کے بعد جب پرائیوٹ ٹی وی چینلز کا بول بالا شروع ہوا تو اس وقت بھی مشرف ایک آمر کے روپ میں پاکستان میں موجود تھے مگر صرف چودہ برسوں میں ہی ٹی وی کا مقصد اپنی کشش کھوتا چلاگیا۔ رنگوں کا یہ ڈبے جسے ہرخاص وعام نے ہمیشہ اہمیت دی، اپنی اصل صورت سے بہت دور جاچکا ہے۔ کسی کی موت کی خبرکسی کی ریٹنگ کا سبب ہوتی ہے۔ کوئی حادثہ ہونے کے بعد جس انداز میں منظر کشی کی جاتی ہے اسے دیکھ کر اچھے اچھوں کے دل بھرآتے ہیں۔ رپورٹرز اور اینکر پرسن کی جانب سے پوچھے گئے سوالات سن کر سر پیٹ لینے کوجی کرتا ہے۔ اشتہارات کی چمک دمک نے خبروں کی شکل ہی بدل دی ہے۔ پرائم ٹائم یعنی رات نو بجے کے خبرنامے میں خبریں گھٹ گھٹ کر کم ہوتی جارہی ہیں۔ سب سے پہلے کی دوڑ میں انسانیت، روادری اور معاشرے کا احترام عنقا ہوگیاہے۔ ہوش ربا رقص سے بھرپورخبروں سے خبر ڈھونڈنی پڑتی ہے اور مقصدیت پیچھے رہ جاتی ہے۔کسی تصدیق کے بغیر فوری خبر دینے کی روایت سے سنسنی تو پھیل جاتی ہے مگر کتنے لوگوں کا نقصان ہوگا، یہ سوچنا عوام پر منحصر ہے۔ رپورٹر حضرات بھی دفاتر میں بیٹھ کر بیپر دینے کو فخر سمجھتے ہیں اور کسی مقام پر پہنچنے کو سیکورٹی خدشات سے تشبیہ دینے لگے ہیں۔ بھارتی فلمیں اگرچہ آزادانہ ہمارے ٹی وی چینلز پر جلوے تو نہیں بکھیر رہیں مگر خبروں کے درمیان ٹھمکتی ہیروئین اور بے ربط گانے سے مزین خبروں نے سنجیدہ خبروں کو ناظرین سے دور کردیا ہے۔ بے ربط دعوی،بیکار پالیسیاں،غیر فعال ادارے اور بے حس لوگ ہمارے معاشرے میں میڈیا کی تباہی اور اس کے نامناسب استعمال کے کلی طور پر ذمہ دار ہیں۔
جمہوری دور آنے کے بعد بھی ٹی وی وہ مقاصد حاصل نہ کرسکا جو کہ اسے لازمی حاصل کرنا چاہئے تھے۔ پی ٹی وی پر تو سرکاری ٹی وی کا لیبل ہی لگاہوا ہے مگر کچھ نجی چینلر بھی حکومتی چاپلوسی میں آگے آگے نظر آئے۔غیر ملکی امداد کے سائے تلے پروان چڑھنے والے چینلز نے حکومت کے ساتھ ساتھ غیرملکی آقاؤں کے ناموں کی بھی مالا جپی۔ مستحکم جمہوریت کے لیے مضبوط میڈیا کا کردار جہاں خوش آئند رہا وہیں حد سے زیادہ میڈیا کی دخل اندازی نے جمہوری حکومتوں کے لیے مشکلات بھی کھڑی کیں۔ ضرورت اس امر کی ہے کہ ٹی وی چینلز اپنی پالیسیوں کو تشکیل دیتےہوئے عوامی نمائندوں کو بھی شامل کریں اور عہد کریں کہ غیر معیاری مواد نشر کرنے سے اجتناب کیاجائے گا۔ ہماری خبروں کو بھی اس انداز سے تشکیل دیا جائے کہ وہ پڑھنے والوں کو درست پیغام دیں اور کسی ذہنی کوفت یا اثیت میں مبتلا نہ ہونے دے۔ مغرب یا خصوصا بھارت کی تقلید ہماری روایات کے برعکس ہے۔ ہمیں چاہیے کہ اپنی اقدارکا فروغ دیں اور صحافت میں ایسا کام کریں کہ دوسری قومیں ہماری سوچ اور طریقہ کار کو دیکھ کر کچھ سبق سیکھیں۔

بادشاہ سلامت آدھا جنگل جل چکا
بادشاہ سلامت آدھا جنگل جل چکا
تحریر : حدید شیر
کسی جنگل میں ایک بندر کو بادشاہ بنا دیا گیا .. بندر سارا دن کیلے کھاتا اور ایک درخت سے دوسرے درخت پر ٹپوسیاں لگاتا رہتا .. ایک دن ایسا ہوا کہ جنگل میں آگ بھڑک اٹھی ... سب جانور بادشاہ کے پاس آے اور اسے کہا کہ کچھ کرو ورنہ سب کچھ جل کر راکھ ہو جاۓ گا .. بندر نے یہ سنا تو فوراً اپنے گھر سے نکلا اور اعلان کیا کہ جب تک وہ زندہ ہے وہ اس لگی آگ کو بجھانے کے لئے اپنا فعال کردار ادا کرتا رہے گا .. یہ کہ کر اس نے درختوں پر چڑھ کر ایک درخت سے دوسرے سے تیسرے پر ٹپوسیاں لگانی شروع کر دیں .. جنگل میں لگی آگ البتہ بڑھتی جا رہی تھی .. کچھ دیر بندر کو چھلانگیں مارتا دیکھ کر اور ساتھ میں جلتے جنگل کا ہولناک منظر دیکھ کر جنگل کے جانوروں کی سٹی گم ہو چکی تھی .. آخر کار ایک لومڑی نے لب کشائی کی اور بولی "بادشاہ سلامت آدھا جنگل جل چکا ہے خدا کے واسطے کچھ کریں "
بندر ، جو کہ متفقہ طور پر بادشاہ بنایا گیا تھا بولا
"کمبختو یہ جو میں صبح سے ٹپوسیاں مار مار کر ہلکان ہو چکا ہوں یہ تمھارے لئے ہی تو کر رہا ہوں "..
نوٹ : نہ تو اس جنگل سے مراد پاکستان ہے اور نہ ہی مندرجہ بالا سطور کا جماعت اسلامی کے جرگے سے کوئی تعلق ہے

May i have a question Mr. Javed Hashmi ?
May i have a question Mr. Javed Hashmi ?
by Hadeed Ahmed Sher
At last the Baghi (Javed Hashmi) resigned from the National Assembly (NA). Baghi who has spent almost his entire life in active politics has gone from the house of representatives. Before he resigned from the NA, the party adamant unopposed elected chairman Imran Khan openly told the media that we have parted our ways. The journey of Baghi can be best understood by reading his books that he wrote while he was in Jail. He wrote in detail about the atrocities Musharraf did to him in particular in to the PMLN workers in general. The story encompasses the brutal tortures on Bilal Yasin (now Minister of food, Punjab), Mushahidullah Khan (now senator), Saad Rafiq (now federal minister of Railways) and many other workers. Stories about the third degree torture on Rana Sanaullah (ex Law Minister) and Pervaiz Rasheed (Federal Minister of Information) have been reported by independent journalists. Besides, the dictatorial acts on PMLN workers, Javed Hahsmi does not forget to assert his support for Nawaz Sharif as his leader.
After the 2007 elections, it was evident that grievances have grown to a level that Javed Hashmi can quit PMLN anytime. The issue became serious when party head Mian Nawaz Sharif appointed Ch. Nisar Ali Khan as the opposition leader during 2008-13. The gravity of the situation became even worse when PMLN decided to nominate Justice (r) Saeed uz Zaman Siddiqui for the seat of President of Pakistan. Javed Hashmi sb. in the same days was elected the senior vice president PMLN and during his speech he stated that "I don't have any complain about the party". Seniority wise the rank of SVP of the PMLN comes at number 2. He was given ticket from six constituencies by the PMLN along with a reserve seat of his daughter Maimona Hashmi, who was also the president PMLN Multan, and his son in law as a provincial assembly legislator. Cutting the story short, Javed Hashmi in December 2011, while PMLN was under severe pressure of PTIs vigorous campaign, decided to join PTI. It was an act of a two sided sword. He joined the PTI and in an interview to Shahzaib Khanzada, he said that both MNS and IK wants to have a better Pakistan but MNS is a bit slow. Later, during the party elections, Javed Hashmi faced embarrassment when PTI old stalwart Umar Cheema filed a complaint to ECP questioning the mental health of JH. After, the GE 2013, Javed Hashmi decided to keep his seat from home constituency from Multan. Knowing well about the number game, PTI SVP and old time arch rival of JH, Shah Mehmood Qureshi nominated JH to contest in the in house election of the leader of the House. It unfortunately, happens only in Pakistan that throughout the elections party head presents himself for the premier office and if fail to get enough seats nominates someone else to face the humiliation. JH while addressing the NA after the election of leader of the house, declared Nawaz Sharif his leader. This was taken seriously and IK forced him a public apology for this statement. Baghi however, decided to stay with the PTI.
During the long march aka azadi march originally a fsadi March, Javed Hashmi shown his concern on various issues and finally decided to leave the event and ripped apart the whole plot of PTI to derail the democratic process. After the presser, he came to the parliament and spoke his heart will full commitment, and volume. He said and i am quoting
میں یہاں پر اپنی ذاتی رنجشیں کہنے نہیں آیا .مگر وزیر اعظم یہ بتائیں کہ کیوں چودہ مہینے تک وہ سینیٹ میں نہیں اے
He further stated that the parliament has failed to address the problems of people of Pakistan. Spending more than 25 years in Multan, i have personal experience how the representatives of south Punjab including Javed Hashmi deal with their own people. So like JH said, i also want to say that i am not writing this blog post for my personal vendetta or a personified grudge but i want to ask Javed Hashmi sb. why despite you being federal Minister of Health and Ishaq Khan Khakwani (now in PTI) being provincial minister of health during 1997-1999 failed to build any new hospital in any area of south Punjab. People want to know that how many schools, universities, hospitals, safe drinking water schemes, mega projects, employment opportunities have been given to the people of Pakistan under your 40 years of politics. I am not blaming only you Mr. Javed Hashmi but all those Gillanies, Qureshis, Tareens, Khakwani, Bosan and Daha's are the accomplice and reasons of why assemblies fail to address the problems of people of Pakistan. Politics against dictators is a service to nation, but this nation want to know why our representatives does not take care of their own people even when they have the portfolios of the concerned ministries. That's my question and i hope that someday you will unveil the answer of this question.
