ashyam Ji :

1. Indiaâs Software Exports in the Nine Month Period is USD 27.494 Billion i.e. for the Full financial Year it would be about USD 36 Billion - if not more.

In comparison Twirpistani Exports are USD 94 Million in Eight Months thus it would be about USD 150 Million for the full financial Year.

As such Twirpistani Exports will be less than Half a Per Cent of Indiaâs Exports.

2. It is quite possible that the normal Twirpistani - Abdul the Bulbul or Burqa Bilqis - will read it as âTwirpistani software Exports are 98% of Indian Exportsâ

To understand the Twirpistani mentality it would help to ask a âMarathi Speakingâ person to explain to you the Full Term and meaning of âMaakud Mantosâ

I remember a detailed explanation given by the TSP equivalent of NASSCOM some time last year. It goes like this:<ol type='1'>[*]Assume real export earnings to be x. The inflated earnings, y, are derived as follows[*]Multiply x by 2 as for every dollar accounted for, another dollar remains unaccounted for. Software exports are therefore y=2x.[*]Multiply the figure in Step above by 4 as for every dollar brought in to TSP, 3 dollars are retained abroad. So, y=8x[*]TSP estimates that Mode 1 (i.e. Cross Border) revenue as USD 150 M, Mode 2 revenues (Consumption Abroad) as another 200 M, Mode 3 (Commercial Presence Abroad) as USD 450 M, and Mode 4 (Temporary Movement) as another USD 250 M.</ol>So, if State Bank of Pakistan receives 25 Million Dollars as revenue from Software Export, that quickly becomes USD 200 M (by the Djinn math of Step 2 & 3) and then with the other additions, it becomes USD 1.25 Bilion.

Kind of neat, eh ?

Very hilarious

European MPs report points out the truth about the paki occupation of PoK.

Pakis illegally ceded a part of Pok to China, Denied democracy to kashmiris under it's occupation, Suppressed human rights in the Northern Areas of PoK, Instituted discriminatory policies against kashmiris and the implemented political and constitutional restraints on them.

MEP criticise lack of democracy and development in PoK

New Delhi

The lack of democracy and development in Gilgit and Baltistan areas of Pak-occupied Kashmir has come under severe criticism from several Members of European Parliament (MEP), with some of them charging Islamabad with illegally separating it from the rest of PoK.

"It is a matter of regret that Pakistan has illegally ceded this region and separated it from rest of Azad Kashmir without the democratic and collective will of the local people," Baroness Emma Nicholson, MEP said at an international conference on 'Constitutional, Political and Socio-economic Conditions of Gilgit Baltistan' at the European Parliament in Brussels late last week.

Coming down heavily on the Pakistani government for lack of democracy and development in Gilgit and Baltistan, she said while Islamabad was seeking self-determination in Jammu and Kashmir, "it was not even prepared to allow democracy on its side of the border." 

Nicholson had authored a report on the suppression of human rights in the Northern Areas of PoK which was adopted by the European Parliament last year.

The British MEP said Islamabad's "failure to introduce and install meaningful democratic institutions in this area was and still is a matter of grave concern for the world community and for the European Parliament," according to a press release here.

Participating in the conference, British MEP Charles Tannock strongly criticised the discriminatory policies of Pakistan's Ministry of Kashmir Affairs and Northern Areas and said the political and constitutional restraints imposed by the (Pak) government had been noted by the world community including the European Parliament.

Foreign loans likely for economy upkeep : Kh Asif <img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/Flush.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='Flush.gif' />

ISLAMABAD : Federal Petroleum Minister and Natural Resources Khawja Mohammed Asif said they came into the government at a time, when the national economy is standing on the verge of devastation and the foreign debts have scaled up to $45 billion.

Addressing the industrialists and traders at the Sialkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry, he said a large range of debts could be solicited to buttress the national economy. <img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/Flush.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='Flush.gif' />

Khawja Mohammed Asif said the measures are being taken to curtail reliance on oil and create electricity through coal.

If the oil prices increase is inevitable in the next budget, then every effort will be made that a common man is saved from its impact.

[center]China urged for gas pipeline plan[/center]

BEIJING : Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf is pushing a proposal for gas and oil pipelines between his country and China to bolster bilateral ties, he said on Monday, during a visit that has highlighted security concerns.

Beijing has stood close to Musharraf, who came to power as a general in a coup in 1999, even as he has become increasingly vulnerable since the defeat of allies in February 18 polls.

The two countries have explored proposals to use Pakistan as a pipeline corridor, bringing oil and gas from the Middle East to China.

Musharraf told students and academics in Beijing that he had raised the idea, which has been mooted for several years, during talks with Chinese President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao.

"Pakistan is very much in favor of a pipeline between the Gulf and China through Pakistan, and I have been speaking about this with your leadership," Musharraf said.

He said a proposed gas pipeline between Iran and India through Pakistan could be expanded to include China.

Pakistan's proposals to become a main energy link for China have not moved much beyond vague talks, but Musharraf said they were "very much possible," even with the high-altitude border between the two nations.

"I'm very sure in the future that -- as Muslims say, 'InshaâAllah' -- it will happen."

China relies on imported oil for nearly half its needs and is keen to diversify supply routes away from the traffic-choked and easily blockaded Malacca strait.

But Chinese industry sources have said in the past that security concerns in Pakistan make it very unlikely that the pipeline plans would take off.

Musharraf's six-day visit to China ending April 15 is his first trip abroad since a new government packed with opponents was sworn in late last month.

China is a big arms partner of its neighbor Pakistan, with each side long using the other as a counter-weight to India's influence.

But Beijing also worries about security threats emanating from Pakistan -- fears that have been underscored during Musharraf's visit.

The Pakistani leader met China's President Hu Jintao on Friday on the southern Chinese island of Hainan. Hu praised their ties as "good friends, good partners and good brothers."

But especially ahead of the Beijing Olympics, China is worried about security threats from Uighur militants in its northwest region of Xinjiang, who want an independent "East Turkestan" homeland for their largely Islamic people.

Musharraf will wind up his visit in Urumqi, the regional capital of Xinjiang.

China is concerned Uighur militants have forged links with Islamist fighters based in Pakistan, and sources earlier said that a foiled attack on a Chinese domestic flight in March involved people carrying Pakistan passports.

Hu told Musharraf that their two countries should strengthen cooperation in fighting terrorism and drugs trafficking and "enhancing security for the Olympic Games."

Naresh ji, that's very true. Twirp has once again taken the begging bowl in its hands.
Here's some more info.
QUOTEPakistan has decided to approach friendly countries such as China, Saudi Arabia and others to generate $500 million to $1 billion in the current fiscal year, in a bid to mitigate financial woes owing to rising petroleum, wheat and palm oil prices.

The finance ministry has projected to generate additional $2.5 billion till June 30, in order to control the dwindling foreign currency reserves that have already fallen to around $13 billion. The foreign currency reserves of various banks are around $2.5 billion and the remaining precious reserves are with the central bank.

âIslamabad is going to launch convertible bonds by offering OGDC shares in the international market to generate approximately $1 billion, as well as issuing GDRs of National Bank of Pakistan to generate $500 million before June 30, 2008,â official sources in the finance ministry confirmed while talking to The News here on Monday.

To bridge the remaining gap of $1 billion out of the total projected additional inflows of $2.5 billion, sources said that the coalition government is set to approach China, Saudi Arabia and other friendly states to achieve its desired objective in the remaining two and a half months.

âPresident Musharraf is currently visiting China where he discussed the possibility of bilateral loan on soft terms and conditions with Beijing authorities,â the sources said. Musharrafâs six-day visit to China ending April 15 is his first trip abroad since a new government packed with opponents was sworn in last month.

Chinaâs foreign currency reserves are over $1500 billion and Beijing is among the capital exporting countries. China may provide $500 million in loans to Islamabad in order to remove the financial woes due to higher POL and commodities prices.

âPakistanâs oil import bill has surged by $3 billion so far against its budgetary estimates, and wheat import also burdened the economy by $1 billion,â sources maintained.

Sources added that Finance Minister Ishaq Dar would give final touches to the proposed strategy for seeking financial assistance. Assistance from Saudi Arabia would come in the shape of deferred oil payment and in various forms from other friendly countries in the next two months, to accomplish the required homework before the scheduling of any high-level visit of leaders.

Rs 112.28m defalcation in shipyard

AMABAD : General of Pakistan (AGP) has found evidence of Rs 112.28 million worth of embezzlement in the accounts of the Karachi Shipyard and Engineering Works (KS&EW) Limited (KS&EW) and the Ministry of Defence Production.

The AGP office, in its âAudit Report on the Accounts of the Public Sector Enterprises for Audit Year 2005-2006â, said that due to no-payment of bills by clients for over three years, the KS&EW had suffered a loss of Rs 73.79 million.

The report said that the chances of financial recovery by the KS&EW were remote, as neither an effective effort had been made to recover the lost revenue nor had any legal action been initiated against defaulters, including government and semi-government departments, private customers and foreign parties.

The KS&EW suffered a Rs 35.44 million loss by purchasing stores, spares and loose tools in excess of its requirements. âIt also suffered a loss of Rs 2.74 million for manufacturing and supplying items below their manufacturing cost,â the report said. The KS&EW also faced lost Rs 0.316 million because of liquidated damages.
