The market value of this plot was then Rs. General Pervez Musharraf acquired a commercial plot worth Rs. In a purchase of Land Rover jeeps in , Army officials allegedly received around Rupees 2 Billion as kickbacks. The Army management at the Water and Power Development Authority WAPDA raised the power tariff 13 times during the last three years from to besides purchasing electric meters at Rupees 1, a piece against the open market price of Rupees , causing a loss of Rupees 1.

According to Mr. Rauf Klasra, reporter of The News, many top military officers had their loans written off. This fortunate lot included five lieutenant generals, two major generals and a battalion of other senior uniformed beneficiaries, with some army managed institutions to boot. The army controlled institutions also got their share from the national plunder when the Army Welfare Trust AWT got a massive loan of Rupees Some of the cases were, however, genuine, as their loans were written off in accordance with the rules.

The list shows that General Kuli Khan got two loans written off from the Allied Bank of Pakistan while he was still serving in the Army in the mid 90s. The first loan was of Rupees 1.

General Kuli was then one of the directors of the textile mills. After the death of General Habib, he became the chief executive of this textile unit. General Habib, too, was a beneficiary of this loan write off. Lt General retired SA Burkey and Lt General retired Safdar Butt also figure amongst the happy generals benefiting from the state institutions generosity. The violence is most noticeable in northern and central Sindh, particularly north of Nawabshah district.

The Lashkar-e-Jhangvi has been one of the most notorious groups, responsible for many of the Shia killings in the region. One of its co-founders, Akram Lahori, was born in the more urban district of Mirpurkhas in Sindh, but its base in the province has been the largely rural district of Khairpur, where it conducted many killings — notably of Shia leader Allama Shah Hyderi in Dawn There have been many clashes of Shia and Sunnis in Khairpur resulting in rioting, gunfights and strikes.

It is however not just the Shia that are victims of sectarian killings. Some Sufi-leaning Barelvis another main Sunni faction in Pakistan have also been targeted. Attacks on Sufi shrines have been ever-increasing: the recent February suicide bombing claimed by IS-affiliated Jamaat-ul-Ahrar in the town of Sehwan Sharif cost more than 70 lives and left more than injured Dearden Moreover, it took place at the shrine of the famous Lal Shahbaz Qalander, often regarded as the patron saint of Sindh.

For centuries, Hindus have been a major trading and business community in the region. Previously, criminal groups targeted them for kidnappings for ransom because of their relative wealth. However, especially in the past decade, extremists are forcing Hindu girls into marriages with Muslim men and kidnapping Hindus for conversion. In November , the Sindh Assembly passed a bill against forced conversion through marriage or other means Dawn Accusations of blasphemy also affects Hindus and Christians alike in rural Sindh.

A Hindu temple was attacked in March following accusations that a Hindu had burned the Quran. Absence of the state and weak policing have fueled the ever-increasing extremist activity. In parts of Shikarpur where I was conducting fieldwork, even the police were afraid of going to areas seen as extremist havens; only the paramilitary rangers would conduct operations in these areas. Some of these extremists worked for and were protected by top politicians, so that even the police could not do anything about them.

A fitting example is the Mehr-Jatoi clan rivalry in Shikarpur, in which the Mehr politicians use Sunni extremist groups and the Jatois use Shia extremist groups to carry out violence. These radicals are sometimes become powerful entities in their own right, beyond the control of politicians. The structure of rural Sindhi society has been historically characterized by strong patron-client ties.

Although the system is referred to as feudalism, it is not exactly like feudalism in the classical sense but is predominantly a system of sharecropping Batai whereby the landlord reaps 50 percent of the profits and the tenants the other 50 percent. Generally, the hierarchal feudal system in Sindh is arranged such that there is a feudal at the top of the pyramid who owns large quantities of land.

In the local language he is often referred to as the vadera or zamindar. There are mainly two kinds of vaderas : those who reside near or in the village in which their land is situated; and those who are absentee landlords and reside mostly in a big city, making infrequent visits to their estates. Then, there is often a head manager, or munshi, who looks after a whole estate and the accounts.

Depending on the amount of the land a feudal lord owns, he has several kamdars or head tenants, who each manage a large portion of land usually around 50 acres. The kamdars maintain close contact with the munshi but also often have contact with the vadera depending on how often the vadera visits his lands. Under the kamdars, are the tenants or haris , who work on the land and share, in most cases, 50 percent of the profit with the landlord.

The haris often have little contact with the feudal, unless the feudal has a practice of holding regular meetings or katchairis. What do you expect from such absconding criminals? Him and his family will do any thing and not hesitate to make friends with the worst enemies of Pakistan, if that can save his looted Pakistani wealth.

I hope sense prevails in our PML-N supporters.. Jamil Soomro, New York City. It is totally incomprehensible that the longest serving Prime Minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif would do a thing like that when there is such high tension on the Afghan-Pakistan Border?

Remember, leapord doesn't change his colours and Namaz Sharif has shown his true colours and exposed his hidden agendas. Shame on such hypocrites! F Nawaz. Pakistan has had too many of these.

Dandy Khan. A real face of Nawaz Shareef Noon league must be banned forever. Justice For All. On the subject of Kashmir and India NS sat idle unless it was about having dinner with Modi, now again we see the same self serving attitude - This former ruler will always be seen as the man who sold his country out for greed and nothing more. Why does the Afghan NSA is meeting with a convicted individual?

Stop fooling the public and concentrate on delivering what you have promised before coming into power. In what capacity did this convicted escapee felon met the afghan scoundrel? Were the security agencies of Pakistan sleeping? Who facilitated this meeting? What was discussed and why with a condemned criminal? Why has this not been taken up with the English govt? Is Israel also involved? These questions need immediate, clear, and satisfactory answers.

The countrymen need to know. Where the hell he gets money. Wearing Gucci muffler and Burberry Jacket. Wearing Gucci muffler and Buberry Over Coat. Disgraceful to meet Afghan national security adviser Mohib! All dressed up no where to go! It is shame for all supporters of PMLN,if there are any left.

What on earth a country's NSA doing meeting a former prime minister who's a convict? Scripted, clearly. It's one thing to criticize Sharif for meddling in foreign affairs - it's another to say that Afghan National Security Advisor is an "enemy of Pakistan". We need to a more professional job of controlling the Afghan message. Isn't he the one who was abusing Pakistan the other day? And with him is the guy whose only tweets are against Pakistan. I always thought establishment was framing nawaz sharif but it's quite clear now that this former pm is against the country who has given him everything.

Asim Maqbool. You will do what ever goes against our country - where are your platelets, Mr. Finding it hard to comprehend how a former PM meeting with an official of a foreign government can be treason!

Zeeshan Ahmed Khan. Best of Luck. Pakistan let monster to leave Pakistan and this monster will actually damage Pakistan. Truth hurts. Pakistan is the saviour of the world and IK is the best world leader. Both Sharif and Karzai are history! We always find PML-N on wrong side of the road. NS is looking ok, he should face courts in Pakistan. Wandering Albatross. Is it just a coincidence that Nawaz Shareef is always meeting people who are against Pakistan or have given verbal statements against Pakistan?

Mr Ali Zaidi, please leave your Swiss nationality. Mera Watan. Just imagine what would happen if leader from other parties from other province met that NSA person at this stage. All sorts of certificates had already been issued but not to Mr. Sharif and his family and reason is obvious. Only Nawaz Sharif can make peace with all Pakistan's neighbours and save it from destruction. Saif Zulfiqar. After looting the country, Nawaz has now lost his characters.

The Commoner. When convicted people make controversial meetings, eyebrows do raise. Mawlawi Yasir. This is the need of time validating another diplomatic failure of ruling party. Munna, Going from Pakistan in broad daylight in full view of everyone and meet Modi in a delegation is one thing.

He is now a convict on the run and meeting Afghan NSA whom the govt forbade anyone to meet because of his derogatory statement against Pakistan.

Hope this clarifies the difference. Ali CA. Patriot, don't compare Apple with bananas. Country is way bigger than punjabi, pathans, baluchi, sindhis and so on. This NSA guy lambasted Pakistan not pashtoons or punjabi dear. Wake up and smell the coffee. This was the last nail to PML coffin! Convict NS the so called circus lion of Punjab and patron in chief of the most corrupt dynasty of Pakistan, believes enemy of my enemy is my friend.

He sneaked out of the country by faking out dwindling blood palette counts, is lately seen sipping tea in roadside restaurants, attending polo match of his grandson and now attending these undesirable meetings with our adversaries, urgently needs to be brought back through Interpol to face music.

All properties including Jati Umera be confiscated. I guess Shehbaz Sharifs politics is over, lets see how he defends this debacle!!! Fareed N. AFRIDI, army chief wont meet because this guy is blacklisted by Pakistan, if army chief meets it would create an issue yes.

Ghani K. Nawaz Sharif , a man of limited intellect meeting a 3rd tier Afghan leader , is not an earth shaking event. Very soon Mohib will be flying to the US on one way ticket. He is already on the target list , Taliban won't spare him. Can Dawn correct the introduction of Nawaz Sharif? He is a fugitive at the moment. Aslam Khan - USA. Isn't NS is very sick and was about to die? Shameless creatures. Humza, yes, common Afghan is a friend but not these stooge. I have no problem with him railroading NS, because they are both cut from same cloth.

But Why he tweet afghan officials as enemy of Pakistan? Is he stupid? Learn diplomacy. Plastikman, good question but Nawaz shareef won't look decent even if he wore gold threaded dresses. Please "wake up". Mansur Ul Haque. Want to remain in news and to bring his children in power at any cost. Long Live MNS!

Keep hurting the Cancer which has been destroying Pakistan from within for almost 7 decades.. Look at the meeting set-up, food food food all around. Doesn't Nawaz and the Afghan know the strategic momentum that the Taliban have got from their sponsors? These people lack depth. Ishrat salim. Still today 30 million refugees are in Pakistan. Patriot, calling names against each other or party is different than some outsider calling your country a house of brothel, is same?

Plastikman, your tax money? How is Afghan NSA enemy??? We're again making wrong friends. Jamil Soomro, New York City , do we hav more tension then eastern border or loc?? F Khan. Just a reminder IK is negotiating with this same Hamdullah government in Afghanistan for the last 3 years. Afghanis also know who has people power in Pakistan or are the next government.

Rauf shaikh, But escaping from proscecution in the country and staying in London, means that he has nothing to do with this country. Gentle Raja. Its propaganda will go unheard. Keep advocating your candid views against corrupt mafia. Tahir Raouf. Gauge the enemy of Pakistan from Kashmir, who settled the issue once and for all.

That's in winter, look at Mr Sharif's clothing. I am confused.
