GAME BY OUR LEADERS IN PAKISTAN - ELECTRICITY


I had circulated this article way back in 2010. It is a repeat with no amendment but is still eye-opening. 

Dear Pakistanis ! 
  
Read, Think & understand the game International Powers are playing with us with the help of !  
Electricity produced in Pakistan is from three main sources.

1). Hydal
2). Thermal (Gas/Steam/Furnace Oil)
3). Nuclear

There are four major power producers in country which include Water & Power Development Authority (WAPDA), Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC), Independent Power Producers (IPPs) and Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC).

Below is the break-up of the installed capacity of each of these power producers (as of June-2008).

Total  (IPPs)                                              ===>   6365 MW

4. Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission 
KANUPP                                                                     137  MW

Total (Nuclear)                                          ===>   462  MW 
   
Hydal Electricity generated by WAPDA varies between two extremities i.e. between minimum of 2414 MW and maximum of 6761 MW depending upon the river flow through the whole year.

Total Power Generation Capacity of Pakistan (including all sources) is 19855 MW and the electricity demand (as of today 20-04-2010) is 14500 MW and PEPCO is merely generating 10000 MW.

So it is obvious that these 15-20 hrs power shutdowns in most parts of the country are not because of the lack of generation capacity but only because of IMF / World Bank policies imposed on our nation by Govt. The Power Generation companies are not buying Furnace Oil from PSO by saying they don’t have money to do that but we are all paying for Electricity that is generated from Furnace Oil. This is the reason that top refineries like PRL are operating at 40% capacities. IMF / World bank has imposed to reduce budget deficit by importing less crude oil. But due to this fact all our industries are under severe crisis. None of our political party who are in Assembly is ready to speak on it because every one is blessed by US / IMF / World Bank.

Dear Pakistani’s, 
This is a time to show your social activism your power and strength. It is your silence which is deafening and your couldn’t care less attitude which makes the people in power more powerful evasive and secure in their Air conditioned offices. 
PLEASE STAND UP AND BE COUNTED:   
Please don't stop this e-mail and forward it to as many people as possible. 
Thanks 
WE WANT ELECTRICITY IN PAKISTAN.
Electricity now is @11 Rs. per unit, and it will increase after every two months as directed by (American) IMF policies. 
Also CHINA offers to Pakistan Electricity for just Rs.200 Monthly Bill and Unlimited Usage of Electricity but our government is not taking the offer seriously. This is because there will be neither kick backs nor any commissions to be pocketed by the strong mafia of politicians and bureaucrats. 
  
  These people are there because of your votes. Let them serve you rather than rule you…… 
  
NOW THIS IS OUR TIME TO SHOW THE GOVERNMENT YOUR STRENGTH. 
PLEASE SPREAD THIS MESSAGE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN, BECAUSE OF THIS MESSAGE MANY PEOPLE WOULD COME TO KNOW ABOUT THE TRUTH

LETTER OF FATHER TO HIS SON's TEACHER


    In the prevailing political environment of unbridled lust for power and pelf, and the cancer of corruption so widespread throughout the body politic one can only pray that, against heavy odds, dedicated leaders may yet be born and raised, leaders who, if properly groomed and guided, will rise above the mire and morass that presently threatens us. And how should these messiahs be groomed and taught so that they can lead us out of the dark tunnel? Reproduced below is a letter of a father to his son's teacher on his first day at school, written about 150 years ago, which is so relevant to today's Pakistan. Hopefully, it just may make some one sit up and think if nothing else, it will be good for thought for your reader.
 
    "He will have to learn. I know, that all men are not just, all men are not true. But teach him also that for every scoundrel there is a hero that for every selfish politician, there is a dedicated leader.
 
    "Teach him that for every enemy there is a friend. It will take time, I Know, but teach him, if you can that a dollar earned is of far more value than five found teach him to learn to lose and also to enjoy winning. Steer him away from envy, if you can. Teach him away from envy, if you can. Teach him the secret of quiet laughter. Let him learn early that the bullies are the easiest to lick... teach him, if you can, the wonder of books.....but also give him quiet time to ponder over the eternal mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun and flowers on a green hill-side.

    In school teach him it is far more honourable to fail than to cheat....teach him to have faith in his own ideas, even if everyone tells him they are wrong....teach him to be gentle with gentle people and tough with the tough. Try to give my son the strength not to follow the crowd when every one is getting on the band wagon. Teach him to listen to all men but teach him also to filter all he hears on a screen of truth and take only the good that comes through.
 
    "Teach him, if you can, how to laugh when he is sad.....teach him there is no shame in tears. Teach him to scoff at cynics and to beware of too much sweetness ...teach him to sell his brawn and brain to the highest bidders, but never to put a price tag on his heart and soul. Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob ...and to stand and fight if he thinks he's right".
 
    "Treat him gently, but do not cuddle him because only the test of fire makes fine steel. Let him have the courage to be impatient...let him have the patience to be brave. teach him always to have sublime faith in mankind".
 
    "This is a big order, but see what you can do, he is such a fine little fellow, my son".

Address to parlimentarians

 Oliver Cromwell 
"It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice; ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government; ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.
Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess? Ye have no more religion than my horse; gold is your God; which of you have not barter'd your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?
Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defiled this sacred place, and turn'd the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices? Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation; you were deputed here by the people to get grievances redress' d, are yourselves gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors. In the name of God, go!"
Dr. S. Akhtar Ehtisham.
