RE: [PMG] PR--Business community welcomes Indian group expansion in Pakistan

Dear Sir,

 

I am Chairman of the Pakistan, India UK Friendship Forum.

 

I like to see the day when there will be free trade between India, Afghanistan, Iran, China and the Central Russian States through Pakistan, thus making Pakistan an epicentre of trade between over a billion Indians and the rest of the population of these countries, Insha Allah.

 

If this happens, then there will no unemployment or poverty in Pakistan.

 

Pakistan will become a Japan of the Sub Continent. Guaranteed.

 

When we do not help others, then we also do not help ourselves.

Regards,
Rami Ranger

Govt asked to improve food security situation

Business community welcomes Indian group expansion in Pakistan

 

Attock: Dated: August 22

The Attock Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) on Wednesday asked government to improve its deteriorating ranking in food security index as almost half of the country’s population remains food insecure.

 

Every person has a right to physical and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food on consistent basis that fulfils the dietary needs for living an active and healthy life, it said.

 

Pakistan has been placed at 75th position amongst the 105 countries ranked by the Global Food Security Index 2012 which has raised concerns, said Tariq Mehmood, President Attock Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

 

Speaking to business community, he said that affordability, availability and quality of the food in Pakistan needs serious review as it has been ranked lower despite increase in agriculture output which indicates lack of efforts to combat growing hunger, he added.

 

The business leaders said that Sri Lanka and India have performed better than Pakistan by securing 62nd and 66th positions on the index.

 

Tariq Mehmood, who is also Director Pak-UK Business Council and Chairman FPCCI Committee on Health, said that government should think seriously about providing cover to 61 million food insecure people which is a major national issue.

 

Rising food prices, floods, poverty, conflicts, terrorism, energy crisis, economic slowdown and political instability are some of the factors behind hunger, he observed.

 

Government should consider other aspects of food security besides increasing the wheat production as a bumper wheat crop in the few districts does not guarantee that the rest of the country would have better access to staple, he noted.

 

Meanwhile, the ACCI welcomed the move by the Indian consumer goods group Godrej to establish operations in Pakistan to become USD 33 billion conglomerate soon. This is a sign of deepening trade between Saarc’s largest neighbours.

 

The ACCI office bearers and members said that Pakistan is the sixth largest country in the world in terms of population which provide great opportunities for the overseas investors.

 

USD 83 billion India Tata group is also stepping into Pakistani market while Mian Mohammad Mansha is also opening banks in India, such moves were not possible without the efforts of national business leaders Tariq Sayeed and Iftikhar Ali Malik who devoted their lives for improved ties between two nuclear-armed states, they observed.

 

Both countries should expedite economic and political reforms and allow direct investments, the businessmen demanded.

[Media-Tribe] PR--Islamic banking growth impressive

Islamic banking growth in Pakistan impressive: Attock Chamber

Islamic banking should be the first choice of masses: Tariq Mehmood

People have started appreciating the benefits of interest-free banking

 

 

Islamabad: Dated: August 02

The Attock Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) said on Thursday that growth rate of Islamic banking in Pakistan is very impressive.

 

A decade back Pakistan had only one Islamic bank while now we have five Islamic banks and Islamic banking branches representing all the top ten conventional banks, it said.

 

75 countries have recognised Islamic banking; major banks including HSBC, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank and Standard Chartered have Islamic banking branches or windows which prove success of Riba-free banking, said Tariq Mehmood, President Attock Chamber of Commerce.

 

Over nine hundred Islamic banking branches in Pakistan speak of the confidence of the masses in the Islamic banking and the successful handling of regulator, he added.

 

He said that the share of Islamic banks in the assets of all the banks can exceed ten per cent in the current fiscal if introduction of new products is focused.

 

Tariq Mehmood asked the Islamic banks to exploit the full potential of interest-free banking, expand network, offer new products to reach to underserved sectors and unbanked population.

 

Tariq Mehmood, who is also Director Pak-UK Business Council and Chairman FPCCI Committee on Health, said that Islamic banks should maintain the image of better risk managers which is necessary for depositor's confidence.

 

The deposit base of Islamic banking has been expanding faster than general banking due to speedy and better returns which is a very healthy development, he maintained.

 

Tariq asked Islamic banks to keep an eye on global strategies, remain Shariah compliant and find ways to improve rates of return to match inflation which will boost confidence of masses in Islamic banking.

 

Islamic banks have remained unharmed during the global financial collapse which has also saved investments of masses, the business leader observed.

RE: [Media-Tribe] PR--Hurting, demoralising spy agencies termed unwise

Sir, 

I must commend you for suggesting a way out, the right way out,  for the gross neglect which has pushed Balochistan into present state. I do not know what are the basis of your opinion but you are fairly accurate.  If I may also give my opinion?  I suggest the following:

1.  In my opinion, Army is not needed in Balochistan as the number of militants/insurgents is small, indeed. They operate in a void of governance with complete freedom, no police, non- effective  civil administration and often supported by the ministers themselves. A firm governance, efficient police, judiciary which can punish in matter of weeks/months, some help from army in supporting the police-role of FC, and active foreign office support will succeed in turning around Balochistan in matter of weeks. 

2. The existing crowed of entire provincial assembly, who sits on treasury benches, is itself involved in a big way in insurgency and crime, with an exception of a few, who either  do not raise their voice being weak, or belong to JUI, who in any case always follows the path of least resistance. The ministers/advisers are themselves sponsoring kidnappings for ransoms, looting of buses, even killings of their enemies and they provide full protection to criminals. Lawyers, judges and media are so scared that the guilty run freely and anti Pakistan elements are not checked. Billions given by federation have been eaten away creating serious anti-government feelings as no socio-economic development is taking place and people are suffering.

3. The MPA, i.e all ministers/advisers should  be taken in protective custody as soon as the governor rule is imposed while special courts try them for their crimes and criminal incompetence. To start with, they all have been given first Rs. 250 millions per year and now Rs. 300 millions for "development". They should be asked to prove the fair use of this money and why did they fail in the trust placed in them by virtue of being made a minister and violated the oath they took.

3. A firm governor, ( not Magsi Sahib, not a politician or judge) with police and FC can turn around the province in matter of weeks. Of course, through an ordnance, B Areas is to be reverted back to pre-2009 status of A Area and rag tag Levies bearing allegiance to sardars, made Police again. Other provinces will have to extend help to train and fill the gaps in criminal investigations.

4. Army's assistance would be needed in coordinating intelligence, totally restricting any autonomous action by agencies, and to provide operational mobility to  FC and police.

5. Special courts on the lines of Italy to try mafia, with judges and lawyers wearing masks, or military courts, if the CJ of SC allows, will have to be arranged. (The Honourable SCCJ has not yet accepted the reality that major powers are supporting an insurgency in Balochistan. He sill thinks that FC and intelligence agencies are being high handed here, which is totally wrong. The judicial system has totally been compromised and killers must be killed through extra-judicial measures. This is normal in a war. CJ must understand this.) 

6. There are many pro Pakistan sardars in Baloch / Brahui areas who will take a sigh of releif when "government" decides to place trust in them, rather than the stooges masquerading as defenders of Baloch on behest of CIA, RAW and MI6,

7.  Finally, while the governor rule must go on for at least 3 years to ensure all criminals are punished and  normalcy returns, FO must aggressively pursue reduction of US, India and UK involvement in insurgency in Balochistan.

Governor's Rule, mili operation demanded in Balochistan

Hurting, demoralising last line of defence termed unwise

 

Dated: July 26

The Punjab Forum on Thursday said the Supreme Court ruling regarding complete constitutional breakdown in the province of Balochistan should be taken seriously by the Government.

 

Situation in the volatile province can only be normalised by initiating a massive military operation after imposing Governor's Rule, it said.

 

The civilian government and administrative machinery has failed to deliver which calls for decisive action, said Baig Raj, President, Punjab Forum.

 

He said that provincial government has failed to control crimes like target killings, extortion and kidnapping for ransom due to lack of capacity and will.

 

Similarly, FC can maintain law and order in the province to some extent but its presence is no substitute to a full-fledged military operation against terrorists backed by powerful nations.

 

He said that businesses, schools, government offices and even courts in Balochistan are working due to protection provided by the FC. Baluchistan is still part of Pakistan due to the sacrifices offered by the FC and ISI, he added.

 

We need to encourage FC and ISI which is battling terrorists and laying down lives to defend Pakistan and Pakistanis, he said adding that agencies are fighting our war and demoralising last line of defence is unwise.

 

Baig Raj said that it appears that everyone is looking at situation from the angel preferred by the anti-state elements. Majority of state institutions are trying best to please terrorists and discourage elements defending the motherland.

 

This has encouraged BLA and other terrorists who are now targeting Pashtoons and the diplomats of friendly countries. This is the time when Army should leave barracks.

 

Pseudo-intellectuals are advocating negotiations with secular terrorists but they want merciless operation against jihadis in Fata which is hypocrisy.

 

If majority of institutions continued to treat traitors as VIPs on the behest of US, it will inflict great harm to Pakistan, warned Baig Raj.
