Although its a known fact that for any goal to achieve, proper planning is required. targets are set, that are then achieved with adequate project engagement. Surprisingly, the talkative Khan failed to set them before imposing the education emergency in KPK. It was not in my wildest guess that the "brilliant" minds of PTI , like Asad Umar, Jahangir Tareen and Imran Khan will offer the people of KPK such earthy policy framework. They forget to tell us the intended goals of this emergency. The result is obvious, after a year long education emergency PTI failed to announce the targets achieved, rather they are more into spreading another gimmickry of new plans of building schools. Mr. Imran Khan the year is over and the next year will bring yet another scheme because you are so vague in your thoughts that you start ranting about the alleged rigging even if you are invited in a primary school on a special occasion. It will be our pleasure if you can elucidate us about the following points so that other provinces can espouse it too in their provinces.
- There were 37988 schools (Government, Private and religious) in 2012. How many new schools have been built in KPK ?
- During the government of ANP the literacy rate was increased from 50-53 % (Male 69 to 72% and females 31-35%). What was the target for literacy in the education emergency and how much is achieved ?
- What is the progressive literacy rate during 2013-14. Please remember it was 5% during the ANP government.
- Out of 4219 government schools running in rented houses and tents how many schools have been shifted to proper government owned buildings ?
- What happened to 2677 madrassa schools ? How successful is the education emergency in converting them to regular schools ?
- More than 10 000 schools in KPK don't have electricity, over 4 000 don't have toilets, nearly 7500 lacks water supply and 5482 schools are without boundary walls. Mr, Imran Khan its easier said than done. Please tell us what has been achieved in this regard with education emergency imposed in KPK.
- What is the effect of Education Emergency on the enrollment of children?
- How far KPK government has succeed in ensuring the presence of teachers in schools ?
- How many new colleges are constituted?
- What about the science labs in higher secondary schools.
- What special has been brought in updating the IT labs of colleges , other than the copy cut paste idea of Laptop distribution ?
- How much decrease in the last year drop out rate of 25 %.
- How much improvement in teacher to student ratio after education emergency.(1:33 during ANP govt.)

| KPK govt banned this book | Education Emergency |
I know that most of the readers will ignore this as an attempt to degrade the enthusiasm of country's revolutionary kittens, but the fact can't be ignored. I was told that Imran Khan has power to do something but he seems very impotent in delivering to educational sector of KPK. The provincial Minister of Education Muhammad Atif (A tax evader) thinks that people cannot understand the do's and don'ts of planning. PTI lead government has no system of monitoring the targets. Imran Khan make equivocal claims on every other show, what in other words is haphazard play i.e. talkative on media and scrap on grounds. Offering lollipops of self recognition through foreign funded institutes like NAMAL. NAML is outclass because IK built it , but the fate of 3.7 million school going childern is still fragile , isn't IK the one heading day to day meetings as if he is a pseudo CM of KPK. Will the fate of over 2500 schools with only one teacher will remain the same unless named after Shokat Khanum or Imran Khan ? Should we consider it a foundering experience ?

Fifty First dates with RIGGING !!
Fifty First dates with RIGGING !!
by Hadeed Ahmed Sher
Just 24 hours before, i published a blog post about the recent crisis of media vs establishment and the role of Imran Khan. I don't know why it happens, but it is a solid truth that Mr. Imran Khan is a discombobulated and a totally senseless person. He made PTI in the mid 90s and despite being popular among the kids his personality failed to attract the matured voters of Pakistan. That resulted in his historic shameful defeat across the country. There may be several reasons for it, but, Imran Khan as Rana Sanaullah said is a chronic patient of "Rigging Fever". Imran Khan knew from the very beginning that the only way to land in the premier office is either by maligning the main stream party leadership or through the shoulders of establishment. Adults might know about this, but today's revolutionary kittens are not aware of the fact that Mr. Imran Khan supported the National Debt Retirement Scheme (qarz utaro mulk sanwaro) in 1997 and he used to give ideas to PM Nawaz Sharif. However, he was not dumb enough to act like an ally. His presence in the media during the 90s was mostly because of the buzzing news of Seta White scandal and his appearance in the courts to settle that issue. In democratic countries, even the sitting president has to ask for apologies, but Imran Khan despite his tall claims of being close to MAJ personality, bothered not to say anything about it.
After the coup of 1999, Imran Khan was among the first few so called demagogues who welcomed the military takeover and immediately accepted the offer of meeting by the unconstitutional ruler of Pakistan Gen Pervaiz Musharraf. It was a close call between the TUQ's Awami Tehreek and IK's PTI during a fraud referendum to enrapture the newly born dictator. Both the parties despite being headed by famous celebrities were rejected in earlier elections by the people of Pakistan. It was a golden opportunity for both the parachuters to grab the seat of PMship. Later, as mentioned in "In the Line of Fire" Musharraf managed to establish Q league and IK was told that his party don't deserve to have more than a dozen seats. Kaptaan however, insisted that his party is very strong on the ground and can easily grab over 100 seats provided that establishment keeps a hand on them. Later, after the elections IK was shown his real value and Jamali from Q league was bestowed premiership. TUQ was so disappointed to see the end result that he resigned from the NA a year later, Imran Khan, however, was satisfied with the perks and privileges offered to an MNA. Imran Khan's PTI proved not even worth a horse cart party in NA during 02 but yes, it was a cycle cart party and therefore he voted in favor of legalizing the 1999 military coup. It is worth mentioning here that Musharraf decided to enter in the war against terrorism in 2001 but the IK kept his silence maintained until the day he was shown a red card for the post of PMship. Imran Khan then slowly and steadily started opening up against Musharraf, but in such a way that the masterminds remained happy. He was seen talking fearlessly and hitting below the belt on the TV interviews specially on GEO news (the same which he boycotted yesterday).
In a talk show he called Sheikh Rasheed a person less than a PEON and Farooq Sattar the batman of Altaf Hussain. His vulgar and indecent language, however, was approved within the angry youth and with the advent of social media sites like Facebook and Twitter his party started disseminating the humiliating material about his opponents. It is not a bad choice to mention here that Imran Khan despite being too vocal about the restoration of judiciary decided to stay inside a hideout during the historic long march. In 2007 he boycotted the elections and started an all out vulgar campaign against his opponents "The Sharif Brothers". He openly cursed them and named them "The Dengue Brothers". During a drama against the drone strikes in Islamabad, he told Shazaib Khanzada that Mian Nawaz Sharif is a dwarf. His sentiments about Asif Zardari while his supporters were abusing him, he told them not to humiliate a dog by naming Asif Zardari a DOG. Fazal ur Rahamn on the other hand was just titled "The Biggest Hypocrite". His intentions, however, about Altaf Hussain was actually surreal. He despite calling Altaf Hussain a terrorist and his try to file an FIR against him in London, bowed him and declared his party a role model for all other parties. This was what happened before his jalsa in Karachi. Despite witnessing ebullient crowd at Mazar e Quiad, an hour long harangue brought no word against Altaf Hussain from the "brave" Khan's mouth. In an interview he told Tallat Hussain that we will bring revolution just like MQM has brought in Karachi. When questioned that you called Altaf Hussain a serial killer, he shamelessly smiled and said some questions are best unanswered and we call this term WELL LEFT in cricket. However, the scenic political love saga of 50 first dates did not end up here. Just like the lead role female model lucy of Hollywood movie Fifty first dates, Imran Khan suffered with short term memory loss and declared Altaf Hussain the murderer of Zahra Shahid (PTI leader). It was surprising to see that the day an important leader of PTI was assassinated in front of her house in Karachi , cupcakes were distributed in the Lahore sit in.

Before we move on to the anomalous and jocose politics of PTI let us rewind a little bit and see what happened with the stolen slogan of Obama "CHANGE".Imran khan's team, of course by his approval chanted a slogan change that undoubtedly attracted the youth of Pakistan. Although the change literally meant a lot to the people and they were told that the change will be on the system primarily. In reality, it comes out to be a change where photos of Imran Khan with a torn up coat and sleeping on the floor (like people don't know about his luxurious 300 kanal house in banigala) and sometimes even while praying. The slogan of the change revealed its true colors when turncoats from all over Pakistan were welcomed and commissioned on high party ranks in PTI. Perhaps that was the time when PTI started enervating. While justifying this Imran Khan said that they are all experienced and therefore it's all on merit. While doing all this, Shah Mehmood Qureshi was granted vice chairmanship of PTI and Javed Hashmi as the President. New faces included people like Sardar Asif Ahamd Ali, Jahangir Tareen, Khursheed Mehmood Qasoori, Azam Swati and many more. IK instead of feeling any guilt called this ONE MORE WICKET DOWN. Imran Khan then decided to conduct the party elections that were the only one of their kind where people were elected based on single votes. The money was used to win seats and most of the applications against rigging are still pending. By the time elections came the party elections output made a perception that PTI is a pro poor party and the tailor master from KPK and the painter who had won the party elections will be given tickets, but against all odds Imran Khan granted party tickets to most egregious personalities that were known turncoats and most importantly the tax defaulters. IK told people that a tailor or a painter cannot afford to run elections, which raised questions about the intentions and purpose of the NAYA Pakistan Fund. Even before the elections the ECP revealed the tax details of those who contested for elections and it was shocking. The CHANGE was merely a shame. Contrary to the hubbubs of Imran Khan the below given glimpse of the stinky change he offered to the people of Pakistan is enough to be ashamed of .
Those who have paid low/zero tax
NA-1 >> Imran Khan Nizai who is paying a tax at a ratio of 7% of its annual income.

NA-03 >> Sajid Nawaz despite earning 1.8 million as an average in last 3 years and over 3 million last year
NA-04 >> Asad Gulzar Khan who earns 0 and hence pay 0 taxes. His election campaign was "financed" by "foreign investors"

NA-15 >> Nasir Khan Khattak pays tax at an average of less than 10%.
NA-17 >> Azhar Khan Jadoon likes to pay tax at a rate of 2.6% of his income.
Na-19 >> Amir Zaman , an interesting case earned nothing in 2010 and 12 and paid 12000 in three years. His campaign was funded by "NAYA PAKISTAN"

After the GE'13 it was a chance for them to prove their loyalty and dedication. But instead of doing welfare projects Imran Khan embarrassed his voters by saying that we are trapped in KPK. Time and again he and his party acted like a malingerer. He repeatedly sang the rigging mantra to the people of Pakistan. According to him, Punjab was totally rigged in GE'13 and only KPK was fair. He forgets, however in KPK PTI fails to get the confidence of people of Charsadda, Mansehra, Buttgram, Kohistan DI Khan, Bannu, Laki Marwat, Bunair, Shangla, Chitral, Dir and Malakand. The drama of gaining the sympathies of those who were victimized by US drone attacks was also badly flopped as well from FATA after PTI fails to get any seat from Kurram, Momand, Bajor, North Waziristan and Orakzai Agency. Imran Khan's party has dozens of cases where his party members were disqualified for fake degrees and he never felt ashamed to keep them still in his party. Imran Khan, who heavily criticized the Laptop scheme initiated that scheme in KPK and used public funds for self recognition in the advertisements of KPK government. His almost one year long performance in KPK yielded not even a single mega project being initiated and failure to protect the polio vaccinators. After helping Taliban in evacuating over 300 terrorists from DI Khan jailbreak Imran Khan offered Taliban an office in Peshawar. Instead of performing, the stories of corruption and mismanagement are common among the people of KPK. The slogan of no protocol went to garbage as he is openly using police force for protocol. The CM house that was announced to become a library is still protected, as CM is residing inside. The use of choppers for fleeing to areas as accessible as Hassan Abdal has also questioned his claims about austerity. Addressing official meetings by Imran Khan have proved himself to be a mudslinger who used to malign Mian Nawaz Sharif on the same subject. At the end of this fiscal year Imran Khan announced that he will build 350 small dams in KPK (don't know if he meant water tanks or dams). Education emergency that was surprisingly announced by the Finance minister is about to end for this year. Nothing happened and instead of informing the media about the goals achieved, IK opened up a new campaign to build schools. He derided Shahbaz Sharif and called him a dengue brother and failed to tackle the issue of dengue in SWAT. A long list can be summarized here to show that what was called TSUNAMI was actually a THUSSNAMI and the idiotic stance on so called rigging would not help him embroiling the people of KPK. Execrating the national institutes like ECP and those who acted as returning officers only shows the lack of maturity on PTIs end. After a hiatus of almost a year the exclamation of pro establishment parties like PTI, JI, Awami Tehreek, PMLQ and banned outfits on different agendas is strange. For PTI the signal is very clear, keep singing rigging and the people will do the same what they did in 1997, 2002, 2007 and 2013 and that too with myriad of votes. After all, they know that this is an attempt of digression from their performance as a government.

All same then why targeting GEO ?
All same then why targeting GEO ?
by Hadeed Sher
India's inner peace was at the mercy of ISI
The point i want to make is that all media channels exhibit skulduggery according to their periphery , therefore they all are one and the same thing. They jeopardize the national security whenever security forces operate, Bolan Medical Complex operation for an instance. They are fatuous enough to pass dangerous columns and programs without any censorship on their shows and in their newspapers just for the sake of profit. Therefore, singling out GEO as an Indian agent and its scoffing by the rival media groups wont help unless we deal with the ground realities. Suspects of a victim has a right to point finger on anyone they like. The due process of investigation happens only to verify the victims claim. GEO did stupid programs, but wasn't it GEO that fought at the forefront in the Judicial movement ?
Lastly, the behavior of the demagogues in the latest situation was really disappointing. Senior leaders like Javed Hashmi and Shah Mehmood Qureshi failed in molding the sophomoric Khan to a politician. Imran Khan who was once with Mir Shakeel Ur Rehman participated in GEO TV live telethon PUKAR has clearly demonstrated his lousy mental capabilities to balance out situation among the two pillars of federation. The same Imran Khan never questioned the live telecast of vulgar language used by Musharraf against Mian Nawaz Sharif and even by himself whom he used for the past few years. This is because in any democratic party system ideologies does matter, whereas, PTI has no ideology. One cannot sustain a party based on rhetoric idiotic sentiments specially when most of the party leaders are known corrupts and belongs to the loot mafia of Pakistan. Imran Khan without any iota of doubt clearly took his side to the masterminds of the recent rise of PTI. His servitude was evident from the fact that his supporters obviously on his advice chant slogans against GEO TV, which is their right, but with the photo of sitting CoAS and ISI chief ? Isn't this a blatant effort of fomenting the armed forces for another coup? Khan's learning curve is painfully slow and may be he thinks that perhaps this is the only way he could ever land in the premier office. Rest of the puppets are MQM and TuQ, whom are not worth discussing.
