Didn’t the prime minister mean it when he said a couple of months ago that the era of IMF dictated budget for Pakistan was over. If he really meant it ,then it can be safely presumed that we have already seen the last of the IMF and in future we won’t need its crutches any more. Let us hope he did mean it what he said so and he wasn’t playing to the gallery when he was making that statement. The tragedy with us is that our rulers have always been spending more than they could possibly afford. To cap it all whatever money they have been getting by way of foreign loans a big chunk of it has always been squandered by them lavishly on non developmental schemes instead of spending it on the projects aimed at ameliorating the lot of teeming millions of have nots with the result that no appreciable change for the better has been noticed in the life style of the common man who continues to live in squalor.

-If one were to believe the Indian version of attack by terrorists on tourists in Srinagar the other other day, may one ask India what was about seven lakh Indian army soldiers stationed in occupied Kashmir doing there! The Indian version of the incident in question seems to be a state managed drama If an independent probe by the UN is done everything would become crystal clear.
-Pakistan must knock the door of the UN as well as World bank under whose aegis Indus basin treaty was signed asking them to call an explanation from India as to why did it violate the Indus basin treaty Accord thus touching off water shortage issue in question.
