Re: Punjab gets 4,000 cusecs more water from Indus
So you just want people to remain quiet while you continue your punjabi raj in pakistan? Sorry, that's not how its going to play out. Non-punjabis will soon reunite and take our rights by force if necessary. Asking hasn't worked with you lot.
Let's hope, we can avoid bloodshed and further separation of Pakistan, but if punjabi establishment force us into a corner, they will be responsible for the outcome.
Re: Punjab gets 4,000 cusecs more water from Indus
Yeah, that's what i was talking about. I have lots of name for these sort of people but i believe in unity amongst all Pakistanis otherwise i can say a lot of things about these people and their background.
And don't worry TRD, you won't see anything wrong with his comments, they are likely to entertain people like you more than anything:)
Re: Punjab gets 4,000 cusecs more water from Indus
This is what you wrote in another thread:
It remains to be seen how effective this will be. I just hope they finish it soon, because right now traveling in areas of construction is very dangerous, especially at night.
And then we have the Sindhis and Balochs complaining that their villages are being deliberately demolished by MQM to drive them out of Karachi!
Hmmm…Jab apni baari aayi tou “others are just complaining”
Aren’t you doing the same???
Mohajirs in Karachi have often been blamed for depriving Sindhis of their rights so why are you being a hypocrite here???
This is what your beloved Soomro bhai posted in another thread:
***The point of the matter is that these biharis didn't and aren't coming in Pakistan (karachi) anytime soon.
Illegals are another issue altogehter.
MQM usually supports this issue since they will get more cadres to terrorize the whole province of sindh.***

Your beloved Altaf bhai is the BIGGEST snake we ever produced, you can say the same about any punjabi corrupt politician, i don't give a damn but don't try to put all the blame on others when your own MESSIAH has been trying to break pakistan into pieces for years and years.
Re: Punjab gets 4,000 cusecs more water from Indus
Did you even read the post??? Hold on, you were trying to be funny there…D feeling better???
Go back and read the post again to find out why your MESSIAH has been mentioned in this post
Re: Punjab gets 4,000 cusecs more water from Indus
Fighting like little kids again guys!
Pakistan is a 150 million (half the popultion of US, and double the population of France), so behave like one.
4,000 cusecs may sound a lot but the article fails to show the time period for which this "extra" water will be given to Punjab. Also Punjab has a quota of 56 Million Acre Foot vs. 49 million MAF for Sindh. Even if the news is true, the article fails to explain what percentage of 56 MAF will be a gain vs. any portion lost out of 49 MAF of Sindh's quota.
Without the true picture, this article seems to be a flame bait for everyone and I see bunch of you have taken that bait like a $tupid fish.

water would be available abundantly keeping in view the massive snowfall in the catchments areas of the Indus and Jehlum and Chenab rivers. The ongoing inflow of water is also indicating that required water will be available in the country during Kharif season.

ANy of you read that paragraph? It's a bit silly having a plan which says X amounts of water will come. In lay men terms:
x = indus, y = punjab and z= sindh
x = y + z
x + 4 = (y + z) + 4
assuming you have a surplus of 4 in the above eample do you let it run into the sea or maybe would be better of using it?
their is a temr in the military known as 'dont plan a plan' meanding you cant predict what is going to happen. So leave maximum room for manouver.
Re: Punjab gets 4,000 cusecs more water from Indus
First of all, the water issue is not just related to this incident. I have previously posted articles on the water dispute.
So mysterious_guy, when did I say that others did not have right to complain about MQM? In fact, I hope the villages situation in Karachi can be resolved. If I was a hypocrite, I would not have even bothered mentioning that.
And on one hand you liken me to Soomro and then also agree with him on MQM being terrorists by calling Altaf a snake. Maybe Altaf is the worst person in the world as you claim, that still doesn’t take away from the fact that injustice is being done to other provinces by Punjab. This article is only a small snippet from the long-standing inequality between provinces since Pakistan's inception. You can't hide from reality, since it has a habit of coming back to bite one's behind like in 1971.
Just pick up Dawn or Jang on any given day and you will read of leaders from other provinces asking for their rights in the federation. If the rulers choose to ignore this, the consequences will be of their own doing. Pakistan can only be saved if both the rulers and people are sincere in their efforts to bring democracy, equality, popular representation and shun feudalism, militarism, and extremism. Anything else, and Pakistan, being an ideological state, will turn into a failed state. If Pakistan cannot achieve the goals it was created for after more then 60 years, the future will be very bleak for the state.
Re: Punjab gets 4,000 cusecs more water from Indus
Risc mian, the problem is not just sindhi vs. punjabi or some numbers that we "compensate" in future so take water out now?
The problem is that now we almost have no downstream water through kotri barrage and the way we have right now (the best way until something else is discovered) that if you take water out now, it is not a zero-sum game as sort of a reverse osmosis takes place only that the salt water that comes in from the sea permanently clogs the lands and has destroyed acres of agricultural land in Sindh.
There is lots of talk about solving this problem by mush and bureacracy but feds have yet to devise a way to not only stop this process of salinization as hoped but also try to reclaim the "semthor" land as it is called.
Now if anyone has arguments against this issue then come feel free to discuss.
Re: Punjab gets 4,000 cusecs more water from Indus
I feel for you guys but their is a water shortage. My family are farmers themselves and the crops basically dont mount to nothing, all profits go into paying for fertiliser, fuel etc... uncle just decided to stop working and setup a business of some sort. Water shortage is everywhere, unfortunatly you cant control the weather.
One way would be to stop waste - make the best of what we have and that oncludes dams, better distrubution channels.
Re: Punjab gets 4,000 cusecs more water from Indus
There is no other way right now to stop the salinization of lands except to have water downstream kotri to desalinize the land!
As for irrigation, there was this australian or european method of "drip irrigation" where you put water into the roots of the plants to basically avoid flooding the whole field with water and thus wasting it.
Why wasn't it implemented is beyond me?!
There is also the project of course lining of canals but that is more expensive than just drip irrigation which is a cheaper way to save water.
Re: Punjab gets 4,000 cusecs more water from Indus
drip irrigation is a very good way of conserving water, but NOT cheap. To be effective on a large scale it requires the planting of piping, drippers, sensors and a computer of some sort to control the amount of water being deployed. Also saves expensive fertiliser by giving it precisly where needed in a controlled amount. Can be operated by labour on a small basis but on a medium/large scale needs electronics. I dont think this has become commericialy vilable option yet.
Re: Punjab gets 4,000 cusecs more water from Indus
Well, what i got from some of this thread regardless of the authenticity of the initial post sadly is..... that Some panjaabis feel its their right to exploit anyone just beacause they have majority in the army and supposedly defending pakistan. ( We all know what is the criteria for anyone to get into Army or defence sector)
Shame on those Punjaabis.
PLEASE open your eyes and stop living in day dreams. God forbid you may end up paying for your consistent opression or oppressive thoughts for others and hurting the same boat you are sailing upon.
Re: Punjab gets 4,000 cusecs more water from Indus
Urdu Speaking who accuse others of "exploitation" for sure live in glass houses. Punjab may have taken a few cusecs of water. However Sindhis have lost their prime real state to the Urdu Speaking group. Is it an unconscious effort to hide ones own crimes?

You know a lot of this stuff you write is complete BS. The head of the army, president and prime minister are Muhajirs are they not? It is a very well known fact in the army that your uncle Mushy is appointing a wave of Muhajirs as Corps Commanders. For once can you people take a bit of balanced view rather than Punjabi, Punjabi, Punjabi. Yes there are some Punjabis who are part of the problem (esp feudals and army men). But the issue is a lot bigger than that and I'm sick of people always passing off blame.
I can already here your defense, Mushy is a muhajir but a sell out.
Answer: Get over it. If he's a sell out, why does he appoint muhajirs to almost every major position. Even OGDC is led by a muhajir former officer. So understand that everyone is part of the problem and stop pointing your finger at one group.
Re: Punjab gets 4,000 cusecs more water from Indus
I completely agree with you. I am tired of the blame game too. It's not helping anyone.
Pakistanis have to LEARN to treat each other with respect. Also, Pakisatnis need to LEARN to listen and find solutions to grievances of the minorities in Pakistan. If some group dissents, they are immediately:
a. labelled as traitors or their patriotism is questioned.
b. alligned with groups of ill-repute to score quickie debating points.
The day Pakistanis treat each other with dignity and respect, learn to listen and do the right thing, thier fortunes will change.
Re: Punjab gets 4,000 cusecs more water from Indus
Desperately trying to incite Sindhis against Muhaahirs after failing to respond to the post itself?
Anyway, Muhaajirs will always be thankful to Sindhis and to anyone who respected Pakistan as a whole and not just a land to rule with force or 'numbers'.
Read my post earlier and if you cannot swallow that today, then keep it in a metal box and open when false panjaabi 'injustice' rule purely based on NUMBERS falls off to the ground.
