Unplugged With EyEsOnSkY
** 1: What is your name? **
EyEsOnSkY
** 2: Where do you hail from and where do you reside? Do you have dual nationality? **
Actually from Faislabad and I born in Lahore, we moved to Karachi when I was 5 y/o a good years of my life I spend in karachi then my family moved to Japan and from Japan to Australia only me decided to stay in Japan coz of my education ( I am still in Japan and my family living in Sydney) well,thinking to join them next year. I didnt change my nationality yet let see what it could be in future.
** 3: What is your educational and professional background?**
Graduate from university in Economics and having my small business now related with exporting used japanese cars and small fishing boats.
**4: What is your political orientation?
**I am inspired by Jinnah the great Qaid and whould like to support any party which polticialy close to Jinnah sahib visions and work. And currently I am much inspired by MQM.
**5: Have you ever read complete manifesto of your party? Does it matter to you at all?
**Yes I read and its sound great.
** 6: Has your party ever been in power in the Centre or in provinces? If yes, how did it perform?
**Its little complicated to answer coz its only once in Mushraff era that MQM was tottaly in power in Karachi ( or in Sindh?) and I am inspired of their work they did it in somehow short period great performance by over all party workers specially Mustafa Kamal.
** 7: In your opinion, what are the top-most plus and top-most minus points of your party?**
Well, the starting years of MQM when party was not organized much and the riots on that period and the name Mohajir Qumi movment was the real and still have bad negative immages, letter they change into Mohtehida but it was little late and damage was done. And for more good results is better AH transfer the power to other leader. The good and postive things are party adminstration system I dont think so any other party have such thing. Anyone could reach to top or low leaders for suggestions or complaints.
** 8: Major achievement and major failure of the present government? **
Hhmm Current Govt.almost failed in every field and may be they keep busy to safe their govt.all the, time the one thing that is their stand against militants with Pak Army is kinda impressive.
**9: Economically, politically and democratically speaking, do you think that Pakistan is heading in the right direction? **
Politicaly and Demorcatically YES. We need to stay with this politial process lets peoples dicede whatever they deserve. No and thanks to the army to stay away from states adminstrative work. The things are changing around now compare with little old time and the open media bring out the every little scandle and peoples getting more mature to select something. I think the same process of changing govts democratically lead us faster to a better economy.
** 10: How different the upcoming general elections could be from the 2008 general elections? **
I think it should be more fair and as I told above Media is open now and its hard to do some bad things openly.
** 11: What do you think of the presidential form of government?**
If you mean Govt.adminstrative structure. I think Senate is a white elephent. not need it.
** 12: Your take on judicial activism?**
A little disapointed by SC as they took strong actions against PPP they should be take actions on anyone without fear.
** 13: Do you think Army is still active in politics as we speak?**
YES
** 14: What could be the best way to tackle the Taliban? **
Taliban is not a name its not a group its a Think perhapes and peoples which are inspired by this think is collectively called Taliban, I think everyone know what is that THINK so I dont want to go in this detail, in short this think is have own agenda and way of life which is tottaly collapsing with majority of sate. So now how we could tackle with this think is we need to finish the rutes of it. army/political/relgious parties must stop to protect them more at any reason.Cut off all kind of connections with Jehadis groups. Need to be have a tough eyes on islamic madrasas. There are good madrasas too but in general the students studying there get impressed easily whatever they teach them, and for this we need a very very cheap and strong education system. Stop the funding of doubtfull parties/madrassas by SA or other gulf countries the amount less spent on postive and much spent on negative things.
** 15: How should the state of Pakistan act on drone attacks? **
Drones have some bad and some postive impacts. If our army want to pin point the targets in this way they must do it by themselfs not with help of foreign forces.
** 16: How should Pakistan react to the American demands on North Waziristan operation and Haqqanis? **
Both sides are playing double game with each others. its complicated to answer on it.
** 17: Do you think that some key ministries should be managed only by technocrats?
** Skip
** 18: To govern a vast country of over 180 million, the bigger the cabinet, the better? **
No. the current Pakistani cabinet is a joke and burdon in our shaky economy. Japan population is 130 millions and its have only 19 minsters including PM.
**19: Who is your favourite politician outside your favourite political party?
**Eitezaz Hassan.
**20: If you are allowed to make three decisions as the head of the country which will be irreversible, what would you like to do?
**Free Education. Free Medical and impose Strict heavy taxes.
