We miss you Mr. President. I wish I had a Jadu ka Chiragh that I could rub and reverse the present situation. What he was doing during his regime was exactly what Pakistan needed. Today, we are now heading towards stone age time, and I can see these Taliban everywhere dancing inside the entire country (from NWFP to SINDH). I pray to Allah to save our country and not let it go into the hands of these so called illiterate fake Mullah’s, that Mr. Musharraf had boldly caged in for a long time.

I can only shed tears at the current situation of my beloved country. Pervaiz Musharraf did so much for the country and look what this nation has done to him in the end. God Bless Pervaiz Musharraf. May ALLAH forgive him for all of his mistakes and May ALLAH keep him happy wherever he lives.

[Moderator: I wholeheartedly agree with you Samina. The purpose of the poll was to demonstrate precisely what you said above. Namely, that there can be absolutely no comparison between Musharraf - a genuine leader and patriotic Pakistani - and loosers such as Zardari and Nawaz]

First published story
Documents reveal power scandal in Chak Shahzad palaces
Government found illegally subsidising Musharraf, Shaukat’s electricity bills
Saturday, May 23, 2009
By Ansar Abbasi
ISLAMABAD: Former president Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf and former prime minister Shaukat Aziz, who have built up multi-million rupee palaces in the name of farmhouses in Chak Shahzad bordering Islamabad, are getting subsidy on their electricity bills and are charged at the cheapest agricultural rates, copies of their bills obtained by The News have revealed.
A selected few amongst the other highly influential and well-connected residents of Chak Shahzad are also paying the cheapest rates with the connivance of the Islamabad Electric Supply Company (Iesco).
While the whole world knows that Musharraf has constructed a modern house on the farm, obtained for breeding poultry and vegetables, the Iesco is still allowing him to enjoy the cheapest of power tariff D-2(1), which is meant for agriculture tube-wells and lift irrigation pumps and is even subsidised by the government from the taxpayers’ money.
Because of Iesco’s generosity, Musharraf was charged, at least, Rs 50,000 less than the ordinary consumer for April 2009. He has been enjoying similar tariff concession for the last few years which, according to the Iesco sources, is illegal and nothing but cheating and fraud.
Sources in the Iesco reveal Musharraf is one of those over a dozen influentials who are misusing the D-2(1) tariff in their respective farmhouses, which are either used for residential purposes or for industrial and commercial purposes.
Such influentials, besides Pervez Musharraf and Shaukat Aziz who fled from the country within weeks after completing his tenure, includes former PML-N senator Saifur Rehman and top parliamentarians and retired defence officers.
The area SDO, Mian Jamil, when approached confirmed to The News that those using the farmhouses for residential purposes were charged at A-1(a) tariff, which is meant for domestic consumers.
He said such residences if using D-2(1) tariff, were involved in illegality and their power connections should be disconnected.Although, an Iesco source insists that this cheating is going on with the connivance of the authority officials, and SDO Jamil, while admitting that he knows that the agriculture tariffs are being used by Musharraf and Shaukat Aziz, said action would be taken against the violators once The News highlighted the issue.
Iesco spokesman Chaman Khan was not immediately available but a senior Iesco officer Executive Engineer Rashid, while talking to The News, said residential meters were installed at the residences of Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf and Shaukat Aziz.
When told that according to the electricity bill of these two farmhouses (see attached copies) the tariff type is given as D-2(1) which is for agricultural use, he said it was not in his knowledge. When asked whether there was any policy of Iesco to give concession to influential or government persons, Rashid said there was no such policy and he would investigate the issue tomorrow.
In the case of Saifur Rehman, whose Chak Shahzad farmhouse is also being used as Redco’s site office, SDO Jamil said his connection was changed a few months back and given industrial tariff. The Admin officer at Rehman’s site office when contacted did not offer any comment.
However, the electricity bill of Saifur Rehman’s place shows that the D-2(1) tariff is still intact at his residence though it was showing not to have consumed even one unit of electricity since January this year. An Iesco source said at least 24 air conditioner units are fixed in the Redco farmhouse buildings.
The SDO also confirmed that a former ISI chief, who is also residing in the same locality, was provided free-of-cost transformer and poles, etc., following orders of the then-Iesco chief Brigadier Shahbaz.
Normally every farmhouse is supposed to pay for Rs 700,000 to Rs 1,000,000 for transformer, which is mandatory for each connection. However, this retired general is using normal domestic connection.
Iesco sources say Gen (retd) Musharraf’s farmhouse was also provided a free-of-cost transformer and other equipment in 2006, which was of higher cost than the one offered to the former ISI director-general. These sources said some senators, including a former Senate chairman, a retired admiral, and a former brigadier, a business group, etc., are also using the D-2(1) connections.
Gen (retd) Musharraf’s electricity bill for the month of April for which the reading was done on May 2 shows that despite consuming 5,600 units, his current bill was calculated at Rs 25,841 at the flat rate of Rs 4 per unit.
On this amount, which includes a general sales tax of Rs 2,763, Musharraf was given tariff subsidy of Rs 8,010, which reduced the bill to Rs 17,831. This is only possible because of the special connection given to the former general. In case of a normal domestic connection, Musharraf would have been charged a much higher rate according to the tariff for domestic consumers.
If an ordinary domestic consumer consumes 5,600 units per month, he would be charged at the following rates: Up to 100 units @ Rs3.29 unit; from 101-200 units @ Rs4.96 per unit; from 201-400 units @ Rs8.03 per unit and above 700 units @ Rs10 per unit. The total would thus be Rs 73,498. It shows Musharraf had saved more than Rs 50,000 in just one month because of this illegal connection and fraudulent use of concessional tariff.

second garbage from Ansar Abbasi
Wednesday, May 27, 2009
ISLAMABAD: Just contrary to the dicey role of Islamabad Electric Power Company (Iesco) over the power scam in Chak Shahzad’s farmhouses, the Pakistan Electric Power Company (Pepco) ordered a thorough probe into the matter and thanked The News and Jang for highlighting the issue.
“Such vigilance would go a long way in better customer service and care and implementation of the law by all,” the Pepco said in its press release issued from its Lahore headquarters. All power distribution companies including Iesco are working under Pepco, whose Managing Director is Mr Tahir Basharat Cheema, who also talked to this correspondent on Monday evening and appreciated this newspaper for highlighting the issue of misuse of tariff and power theft by the powerful and the mighty.
Meanwhile, General Pervez Musharraf in an interview with a private television channel on Monday accused this correspondent of being in the habit of filing untrue stories. When asked about the misuse of agriculture tariff by him, he said, “I don’t get involved in such matters. Nor am I interested to save few pennies from such savings. I am paying the official power rates. The story is filed by Ansar Abbasi, who is in the habit of writing such reports. He writes negative reports, which should not be given credence. At my residence in Chak Shahzad there was an old power connection which is being replaced. I checked it today from back home that it would be replaced in a four to six days time. I will pay the official power rates. There was no transformer, which I got installed after paying what I remember something around Rs125,000-150,000.”
Interestingly a few days before Musharraf was uttering these words in a private television channel interview in London, his Chak Shahzad House had already got a new power connection as was confirmed by the concerned SDO on Monday.
The Pepco issued a press release that reads as: “Pakistan Electric Power Supply Company has taken serious notice of the news regarding subject happening in the Iesco, published on 23-05-2009 in daily ‘The News & ‘Jang’ and ordered investigation of the issue through a committee consisting of Customer Services Director (Convener), Manager S&I (Member) & Regional Manager (M&T Concerned).
The Pepco spokesman said that the committee will submit its report within 10 days time. The committee was entrusted:
(a) To thrash out the cases of the farm houses with independent sub-stations situated in Chak Shehzad and surrounding areas and dig out whether the cost of sub-stations has been recovered or not in the original context i.e. at the time of getting power connections.
(b) To see whether the farmhouses have been charged correct tariff after physically verifying the nature of load installed in the premises.
(c) To see whether any conversion of tariff has taken place after installation of connection under some other tariff.
(d) To observe whether the premises have more than one connection to afford undue benefit to the consumers.
(e) To see whether the owners of the farmhouses have been extended undue benefits at the cost of interests of Iesco.
(f) To thoroughly check in any case the matter of the farmhouses to ensure whether the consumers are indulging in any foul play or not.
(g) To also check farmhouses in other areas of Islamabad irrespective of the criteria of provision of independent sub-stations or not.”
The spokesman further stated that corrective action will be taken immediately on submission of the findings against the discrepancies found, if any. The corrective action may include disconnections, recovery of unpaid amounts against capital cost, recovery of less charged bills for any earlier wrong application of tariff and punitive charges etc.
Additionally, disciplinary action will be taken against the officers/officials held responsible for irregularities, if detected at the above sites. Pepco as a responsible organization also considers action against Ex-CEO or any other action as necessary.
The Pepco spokesman also thanked daily “The News & Jang” for reporting the incident and stated that such vigilance would go a long way in better customer service and care and implementation of the law by all.”

third trash from notorious black mailer in the garb of journalism after the rejoinder of Hammad sb
Musharraf’s architect keeps power theft issue alive
Thursday, May 28, 2009
By Ansar Abbasi
ISLAMABAD: Under the rules and as per the invoked policy of the government-owned power distribution companies, all those who have been or are still misusing concessional tariffs in the farmhouses of Chak Shahzad or elsewhere are bound to cough up the differential underpaid charges.
In case of General Musharraf, official documents and even his self-claimed spokesman prove that he has been using wrong tariff to his advantage. Now the authorities have the legal right to recover the loss of revenue by this wrong application of tariff by Musharraf for the last five years.
These are not only the Wapdaís standard ëabridged conditions of supplyí that a consumer signs while applying for a connection but also 1999 guidelines of the authority to all DISCOs (Electric Power Distribution Companies).
Documents show that the general manager (Customer Services) Wapda House, Lahore, issued guidelines to all chief executives of DISCOs on Oct 14, 1999 in connection with change of tariff. Parts ii and vi of these guidelines are relevant in case of Musharraf and others who fall in the same category. Its part ii says, “Any benefit, subsidy availed of in capital cost/service connection cost at the time of getting existing connection will be recovered.” Part vi reads: “If for the changed tariff, higher tariff is applicable and consumer has already changed the mode of use of electricity, assessment bill for unauthorised use of electricity for tariff other than sanctioned will also be recovered.”
In case of Musharraf, he was either entitled for national domestic tariff- A-1(a) or during the construction activity for tariff E-1(i), which is explained as “temporary domestic supply”. Of late, Musharraf has got A-1(b) tariff besides new transformer of 100 KV. Although for the replaced transformer, he paid Rs 376,108, it is not confirmed if he had paid anything for the transformer that was installed at his plot in 2003.
According to the 2003 service connection order of Musharraf, all he had paid at that time was Rs 8,000 as security deposit and Rs 75,577 as security connection cost, which does not reflect if it includes a transformer. The same service connection order also shows his 2003 application number as 116 and also clearly indicates of D-2(1) connection.
A self-claimed spokesman of Musharraf and the architect of his farmhouse, in a rejoinder e-mailed to The News on Tuesday, refuted different facts of The News stories but argued that the agriculture tariff was installed in routine “by default” till a house was built on the plot for permanent occupancy.
He, however, did not comment if such a misuse of tariff was illegal. Without explaining if he was the authorised spokesman of Musharraf on the issue, Hamaad Hussain issued the following rejoinder to The News stories:
“Mr Ansar Abbasi’s write-up in The News on May 23 titled ‘cheap electricity for Musharraf, ex-ISI chief and others’ is a classic case of ëhearsay” journalism. Had the writer checked his facts, or at least taken the version of those he has callously accused, as a professional journalist is expected to do, his write-up would have been accurate.
“Abbasi has claimed that ‘Gen Musharraf’s farmhouse was provided a free of cost transformer and other equipment in 2006”. This information is totally wrong. The correct fact is that a 25 kVA transformer was installed in 2003 right after Gen Musharraf bought the plot.
On Feb 25, 2009, as the house was nearing completion, an application was written to the IESCO for upgradation of the transformer. A demand note was issued by the IESCO on March 11, 2009 titled “extension of load and change of tariff”. A pay order of Rs 376,108 was deposited in the name of XEN (E), Islamabad-1 on March 24 and another pay order amounting to Rs 102,000 was submitted as security deposit.
“Consequently, the old transformer was removed and a new 100 kVA transformer was installed. It is evident that instead of investigating the matter and verifying his facts, Mr Abbasi has depended solely on hearsay.
“As far as the electricity meter is concerned, the published bill clearly shows the date it was installed (Dec 2003). The plot is in the P & V scheme of CDA where an agriculture meter D-2(1) is installed in routine (by default) till a house is built on the plot for permanent occupancy. The farmhouse was occupied a few days ago and the new meter with A-1(b) tariff (for residential use) is in the process of being installed this week in place of the old meter as per the above-mentioned demand note. The writer ought to know that exact electrical load is calculated and the purpose of the meter is clearly mentioned in all applications. The IESCO installs meters after verifying the usage and loads and the customer does not have the option of choosing meters. (A-1(b) tariff is for heavy load and is more expensive than A-1(a) tariff that the writer mentioned in his story).
“Unfortunately, an unnecessary issue has been created out of a non-issue. After providing clarifications in todayís follow-up story, the writer still ëstandsí by his story. It is easy to stand by a hearsay story, but it is difficult to stand by unverified and incorrect facts.”
The basic question cleverly evaded by the architect relates to the misuse of agriculture tariff (D-2(1)) by Musharraf for quite a few years. The architect says that it was installed by default but the fact remains that it was illegal to use the said tariff. After this admission of default connection and following Musharrafís claim that he did not ask anyone to give him cheaper tariff, it is yet to be seen if the former dictator would pay the differential amount.
It is also not yet clear if Musharraf had paid for the original transformer that has recently been replaced. About the tariff- A-1(b)- offered to Musharraf now after the unearthing of the scam by The News, it needs to be clarified if any other resident of Chak Shahzad is provided the same tariff.
It is to be mentioned here that it was not Musharraf alone but several others as well who have been or are being still enjoying concessional tariff illegally and with the connivance of IESCO officials.
***************************
Rejoinder of Hammad sb
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan – Electronic and Press Media in Pakistan is
enjoying full freedom since former President General Pervez Musharraf
adopted the unprecedented policy of liberation of media, which no one
ever dared to take on in the history of Pakistan. From state
controlled couple of channels in 1999 to more than 60 channels in
2008, it was no other than a ruler in military uniform that always
supported and encouraged the freedom of Expression. It seems ironical
that the same media later started calling him Dictator and crossed all
the limits of ethics in toppling him from office of President.
Like politicians of Pakistan, media quite often also behaves with so
much incivility and irresponsibility, which not only serves the
purpose of disinformation to the nation but also brings irrecoverable
damage to national interests. For few years, centre of gravity of
media and political parties is to bring down former President General
Musharraf by a well orchestrated and well sponsored campaign against
him. No news story attracts the attention of the reader, if it lacks
some scandalous ‘information’ about former President. It is quite
evident that ‘someone’ is still paying media to make false
perceptions.
On 23rd May, Daily ‘The News’ published a story by Mr. Ansar Abbasi
with the title, “Documents reveal power scandal in Chak Shahzad
palaces”, which was simply based on malicious reporting and twisted
facts. On TV channels and internet blogs, it appeared as big story and
spread much quickly. This one sided report was followed by the
‘Breaking News’ that former President has vacated the army house. To
add sensationalism in the news, it was said that Army has forced him
to leave the army house. It was further added that General Musharraf
has brought an apartment in London and is not likely to return back to
the country.
It was too much humiliating for all those who support General
Musharraf and honour him as an honest leader and the man who always
work for the ideology of ‘Pakistan First’. It was also so much sad and
shattering for former President himself that he appeared on different
channels and dismissed all such speculations. He said LOUD and CLEAR
that he would live permanently in Chak Chehzad and is not going to
leave Pakistan at all. He added that since the construction of his
house was completed in Chak Shehzad, he moved out of official
residence. On one question, he confirmed the news about his apartment
in London and told that his future schedule for lectures in different
countries and commitments for interviews is already well set. He has
bought a flat in London to serve as a staying station during his
visits. On one question he denied any role in killing of Nawab Akbar
Bugti, saying he is ready to deal with the allegations levelled
against him. He out rightly rejected any allegation regarding the
rigging in the General Elections of 18th February 2008. He rejected
the claim by PML-Q’s leadership that elections were engineered,
calling this accusation totally baseless. When he was enquired about
the allegation of acquiring electricity on cheaper rates, he rejected
this false allegation, saying he abides law and never remains involved
in such illegal act.
The next day spokesman for the Islamabad Electric Supply Company
(IESCO) clearified that new connection to the farmhouse is given as
per the IESCO-Wapda rules without showing favour to any VIP. He said
the contents of the news item were investigated and scrutinised, but
no irregularity was found in provision of new connections to these
farmhouses. There was no special concession in demand notices. (The
News-24th May 2009)
This whole episode clearly depicts how irresponsibly the news
reporters sometimes behave while making any story. Professional
reporters always take versions of all the parties involved. Mr. Ansar
Abbasi, unfortunately is too biased to practice this fundamental rule.
We doubt he is probably paid to write such malicious reports, with
half quoted and twisted facts. There is no freedom of media, without
having feel of responsibility and sense of ownership.
———————————————————————–
The given is the rejoinder to the malicious report of ‘The News’ by
Mr. Ansar Abbasi.
———————————————————————–
Written by Hammad Husain (Architect of Chak Shahzad farmhouse)
Mr Ansar Abbasi’s write-up in The News on 23rd May titled “Cheap

amounting to Rs. 102,000 was submitted as security deposit.
Consequently, the old transformer was removed and a new 100 kVA
transformer was installed. It is evident that instead of investigating
the matter and verifying his facts, Mr Abbasi has depended solely on

As far as the electricity meter is concerned, the published bill

Nawaz In London
Still looking the dreams to become third time PM of Pakistan, as I said menally sick and physically fat, he is well aware to become PM again he should go in Parliaments and amend the bill t become third time.
Still both brothers blaming Mushraff and Mushraff, they cannot eat they cannot sleep without taking Muhraff name, likewise the MUNAFAQ and one of the hated Journalists Ansar Abassi, recently i was looking some footag while General Mushraff was in India , even the presenter said during your time Pakistan’s economic was growing and was solid but after you Pakistan economic going fall day by day, same things was said by David Frost while Ex President was sitting A breakfast with David Frost.
Coud I ask why not both brothers accept te reality that during MUSHRAFF time our economy was strong and foreign investors trusting us to invest their money now days they dont belive.
Rcently KUT PUTLI PM gifted 30 Lakhs watch to Sohil Ahmed TV artists this news not from us from the old anchors Mr. Haqqani.
No action has been taken, no suo moto action.
Wall Street General, and Ecnomic newspaper already identifying that in Pakistan corruption is on top because PPP is well aware that they can be send home very soo and they are well aware that this is their last time in PM house an AIWANE SADAR.
Where is Khawaja Asif, Where is Saad Rafiq, Where is Chodhry Nisar , where is teir voices on this discrepancies , sorry they cannot attend this because somehow they are making alos DOSH.
If Nawaz Sharif was true politicans and was honest but he is not honest, why not he challanged NRO , why not IFTIKHAR CHOUDHRY not taking a suo moto actions.
The ground realitiy is that they all on DEAL to sit on chair again .
THIS IS THE BIGGEST MUNAFAQAT in the history of Pakistan.
What a shame for us, uneducated person is te minister of Tourisms, I mean Moulana Ata Ur Rehman the Brothe of Moulan Fazal Ur Reman
they are moulanas whose head in front of god but their activities say in DAGABAZI, god is looking all of this crime.
Same Imran Khan, the play boy have not looking his past activities – one of the sinner openly b DNS now his najaiz daughter is nearl 16 and taling about Islam.
SIMPLE IS THAT
THE CAT EAT 100 RATS AFTER THAT SHE WENT FOR HAJ.
Dear Supporters of Mushraff
Pakisan day by day in darkness and going fall , wake up wake up , come on the street , convey your messages to downing street and stay with yor deman in fron of Embassy, arranged the corner meetings arranged the press confereces and invite th media and show them the facts.

Executive Order and restorations of Deposed Judges
I was sitting with some of my British Cum Pakistani Friends who they are the Top Solicitors based on Holborn where all law offices situated.
They were laughing on the Executive Order and restorations of Deposed Judges.
1) they said you are electaed parliaments
current parliaments born from the 2007 elections which was organised by Ex presidents and The chief Executive (PM) taking the oath from Prsident of Pakistan , means from President Mushraff
They said this means whatever Ex president done they accepted all things and valid his 3rd November actions and endorsed the amendments.
This cannot be reverse until the one third majority of Parliaments bring this issue whether accept or void or nul.
What they said in pakistan there is no law only brotherism , PROVINCIALISM AND CHOUDHRYISM.
What they said they did but future of Pakistan is looking darkness, anybody can come make the executive orders even the person who was most wanted in terrorism on one executive order he can be released.
what is happening in pakistan god knows.
where is civil socity where is human rights while our army is fightng with extremist they are giving the sacrifies for the sake of Pakistan and to safe their country , anyone went there and ask them what there families needed.
i openly and regret even hanged , the civil society of Pakistan is toolas of NAWAZ AND SHEBAZ they arranged the money to do against President Mushraff and same the bloody Asma Jilani the one of the corrupt women who make the donatins in the name of human rights and living in lavish sytle. All woments she hired sorry to say professionals.

Sir, it is very touchy when I hear your character assassination by some so called analyst on Pakistani Print and Electronic Media. A one way maligning campaign has been initiated by PML (N) who is afraid you may not announce to join the politics. They want to take revenge by launching your trial. In my meager opinion, is it not possible you form a team of well learned personnel you can defend you in Media.
Sir, it is my earnest desire that you should be play role in Pakistan Political where no body is serious to work for poor masses and defend the case of Pakistan on external front where humiliation campaign is being driven by enemy of our dear homeland.
Finally, I pray for your long live, honour and dignity and May God protect you from your enemies.

First published story
Documents reveal power scandal in Chak Shahzad palaces
Government found illegally subsidising Musharraf, Shaukat’s electricity bills
Saturday, May 23, 2009
By Ansar Abbasi
ISLAMABAD: Former president Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf and former prime minister Shaukat Aziz, who have built up multi-million rupee palaces in the name of farmhouses in Chak Shahzad bordering Islamabad, are getting subsidy on their electricity bills and are charged at the cheapest agricultural rates, copies of their bills obtained by The News have revealed.
A selected few amongst the other highly influential and well-connected residents of Chak Shahzad are also paying the cheapest rates with the connivance of the Islamabad Electric Supply Company (Iesco).
While the whole world knows that Musharraf has constructed a modern house on the farm, obtained for breeding poultry and vegetables, the Iesco is still allowing him to enjoy the cheapest of power tariff D-2(1), which is meant for agriculture tube-wells and lift irrigation pumps and is even subsidised by the government from the taxpayers’ money.
Because of Iesco’s generosity, Musharraf was charged, at least, Rs 50,000 less than the ordinary consumer for April 2009. He has been enjoying similar tariff concession for the last few years which, according to the Iesco sources, is illegal and nothing but cheating and fraud.
Sources in the Iesco reveal Musharraf is one of those over a dozen influentials who are misusing the D-2(1) tariff in their respective farmhouses, which are either used for residential purposes or for industrial and commercial purposes.
Such influentials, besides Pervez Musharraf and Shaukat Aziz who fled from the country within weeks after completing his tenure, includes former PML-N senator Saifur Rehman and top parliamentarians and retired defence officers.
The area SDO, Mian Jamil, when approached confirmed to The News that those using the farmhouses for residential purposes were charged at A-1(a) tariff, which is meant for domestic consumers.
He said such residences if using D-2(1) tariff, were involved in illegality and their power connections should be disconnected.Although, an Iesco source insists that this cheating is going on with the connivance of the authority officials, and SDO Jamil, while admitting that he knows that the agriculture tariffs are being used by Musharraf and Shaukat Aziz, said action would be taken against the violators once The News highlighted the issue.
Iesco spokesman Chaman Khan was not immediately available but a senior Iesco officer Executive Engineer Rashid, while talking to The News, said residential meters were installed at the residences of Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf and Shaukat Aziz.
When told that according to the electricity bill of these two farmhouses (see attached copies) the tariff type is given as D-2(1) which is for agricultural use, he said it was not in his knowledge. When asked whether there was any policy of Iesco to give concession to influential or government persons, Rashid said there was no such policy and he would investigate the issue tomorrow.
In the case of Saifur Rehman, whose Chak Shahzad farmhouse is also being used as Redco’s site office, SDO Jamil said his connection was changed a few months back and given industrial tariff. The Admin officer at Rehman’s site office when contacted did not offer any comment.
However, the electricity bill of Saifur Rehman’s place shows that the D-2(1) tariff is still intact at his residence though it was showing not to have consumed even one unit of electricity since January this year. An Iesco source said at least 24 air conditioner units are fixed in the Redco farmhouse buildings.
The SDO also confirmed that a former ISI chief, who is also residing in the same locality, was provided free-of-cost transformer and poles, etc., following orders of the then-Iesco chief Brigadier Shahbaz.
Normally every farmhouse is supposed to pay for Rs 700,000 to Rs 1,000,000 for transformer, which is mandatory for each connection. However, this retired general is using normal domestic connection.
Iesco sources say Gen (retd) Musharraf’s farmhouse was also provided a free-of-cost transformer and other equipment in 2006, which was of higher cost than the one offered to the former ISI director-general. These sources said some senators, including a former Senate chairman, a retired admiral, and a former brigadier, a business group, etc., are also using the D-2(1) connections.
Gen (retd) Musharraf’s electricity bill for the month of April for which the reading was done on May 2 shows that despite consuming 5,600 units, his current bill was calculated at Rs 25,841 at the flat rate of Rs 4 per unit.
On this amount, which includes a general sales tax of Rs 2,763, Musharraf was given tariff subsidy of Rs 8,010, which reduced the bill to Rs 17,831. This is only possible because of the special connection given to the former general. In case of a normal domestic connection, Musharraf would have been charged a much higher rate according to the tariff for domestic consumers.
If an ordinary domestic consumer consumes 5,600 units per month, he would be charged at the following rates: Up to 100 units @ Rs3.29 unit; from 101-200 units @ Rs4.96 per unit; from 201-400 units @ Rs8.03 per unit and above 700 units @ Rs10 per unit. The total would thus be Rs 73,498. It shows Musharraf had saved more than Rs 50,000 in just one month because of this illegal connection and fraudulent use of concessional tariff.

second garbage from Ansar Abbasi
Wednesday, May 27, 2009
ISLAMABAD: Just contrary to the dicey role of Islamabad Electric Power Company (Iesco) over the power scam in Chak Shahzad’s farmhouses, the Pakistan Electric Power Company (Pepco) ordered a thorough probe into the matter and thanked The News and Jang for highlighting the issue.
“Such vigilance would go a long way in better customer service and care and implementation of the law by all,” the Pepco said in its press release issued from its Lahore headquarters. All power distribution companies including Iesco are working under Pepco, whose Managing Director is Mr Tahir Basharat Cheema, who also talked to this correspondent on Monday evening and appreciated this newspaper for highlighting the issue of misuse of tariff and power theft by the powerful and the mighty.
Meanwhile, General Pervez Musharraf in an interview with a private television channel on Monday accused this correspondent of being in the habit of filing untrue stories. When asked about the misuse of agriculture tariff by him, he said, “I don’t get involved in such matters. Nor am I interested to save few pennies from such savings. I am paying the official power rates. The story is filed by Ansar Abbasi, who is in the habit of writing such reports. He writes negative reports, which should not be given credence. At my residence in Chak Shahzad there was an old power connection which is being replaced. I checked it today from back home that it would be replaced in a four to six days time. I will pay the official power rates. There was no transformer, which I got installed after paying what I remember something around Rs125,000-150,000.”
Interestingly a few days before Musharraf was uttering these words in a private television channel interview in London, his Chak Shahzad House had already got a new power connection as was confirmed by the concerned SDO on Monday.
The Pepco issued a press release that reads as: “Pakistan Electric Power Supply Company has taken serious notice of the news regarding subject happening in the Iesco, published on 23-05-2009 in daily ‘The News & ‘Jang’ and ordered investigation of the issue through a committee consisting of Customer Services Director (Convener), Manager S&I (Member) & Regional Manager (M&T Concerned).
The Pepco spokesman said that the committee will submit its report within 10 days time. The committee was entrusted:
(a) To thrash out the cases of the farm houses with independent sub-stations situated in Chak Shehzad and surrounding areas and dig out whether the cost of sub-stations has been recovered or not in the original context i.e. at the time of getting power connections.
(b) To see whether the farmhouses have been charged correct tariff after physically verifying the nature of load installed in the premises.
(c) To see whether any conversion of tariff has taken place after installation of connection under some other tariff.
(d) To observe whether the premises have more than one connection to afford undue benefit to the consumers.
(e) To see whether the owners of the farmhouses have been extended undue benefits at the cost of interests of Iesco.
(f) To thoroughly check in any case the matter of the farmhouses to ensure whether the consumers are indulging in any foul play or not.
(g) To also check farmhouses in other areas of Islamabad irrespective of the criteria of provision of independent sub-stations or not.”
The spokesman further stated that corrective action will be taken immediately on submission of the findings against the discrepancies found, if any. The corrective action may include disconnections, recovery of unpaid amounts against capital cost, recovery of less charged bills for any earlier wrong application of tariff and punitive charges etc.
Additionally, disciplinary action will be taken against the officers/officials held responsible for irregularities, if detected at the above sites. Pepco as a responsible organization also considers action against Ex-CEO or any other action as necessary.
The Pepco spokesman also thanked daily “The News & Jang” for reporting the incident and stated that such vigilance would go a long way in better customer service and care and implementation of the law by all.”

third trash from notorious black mailer in the garb of journalism after the rejoinder of Hammad sb
Musharraf’s architect keeps power theft issue alive
Thursday, May 28, 2009
By Ansar Abbasi
ISLAMABAD: Under the rules and as per the invoked policy of the government-owned power distribution companies, all those who have been or are still misusing concessional tariffs in the farmhouses of Chak Shahzad or elsewhere are bound to cough up the differential underpaid charges.
In case of General Musharraf, official documents and even his self-claimed spokesman prove that he has been using wrong tariff to his advantage. Now the authorities have the legal right to recover the loss of revenue by this wrong application of tariff by Musharraf for the last five years.
These are not only the Wapdaís standard ëabridged conditions of supplyí that a consumer signs while applying for a connection but also 1999 guidelines of the authority to all DISCOs (Electric Power Distribution Companies).
Documents show that the general manager (Customer Services) Wapda House, Lahore, issued guidelines to all chief executives of DISCOs on Oct 14, 1999 in connection with change of tariff. Parts ii and vi of these guidelines are relevant in case of Musharraf and others who fall in the same category. Its part ii says, “Any benefit, subsidy availed of in capital cost/service connection cost at the time of getting existing connection will be recovered.” Part vi reads: “If for the changed tariff, higher tariff is applicable and consumer has already changed the mode of use of electricity, assessment bill for unauthorised use of electricity for tariff other than sanctioned will also be recovered.”
In case of Musharraf, he was either entitled for national domestic tariff- A-1(a) or during the construction activity for tariff E-1(i), which is explained as “temporary domestic supply”. Of late, Musharraf has got A-1(b) tariff besides new transformer of 100 KV. Although for the replaced transformer, he paid Rs 376,108, it is not confirmed if he had paid anything for the transformer that was installed at his plot in 2003.
According to the 2003 service connection order of Musharraf, all he had paid at that time was Rs 8,000 as security deposit and Rs 75,577 as security connection cost, which does not reflect if it includes a transformer. The same service connection order also shows his 2003 application number as 116 and also clearly indicates of D-2(1) connection.
A self-claimed spokesman of Musharraf and the architect of his farmhouse, in a rejoinder e-mailed to The News on Tuesday, refuted different facts of The News stories but argued that the agriculture tariff was installed in routine “by default” till a house was built on the plot for permanent occupancy.
He, however, did not comment if such a misuse of tariff was illegal. Without explaining if he was the authorised spokesman of Musharraf on the issue, Hamaad Hussain issued the following rejoinder to The News stories:
“Mr Ansar Abbasi’s write-up in The News on May 23 titled ‘cheap electricity for Musharraf, ex-ISI chief and others’ is a classic case of ëhearsay” journalism. Had the writer checked his facts, or at least taken the version of those he has callously accused, as a professional journalist is expected to do, his write-up would have been accurate.
“Abbasi has claimed that ‘Gen Musharraf’s farmhouse was provided a free of cost transformer and other equipment in 2006”. This information is totally wrong. The correct fact is that a 25 kVA transformer was installed in 2003 right after Gen Musharraf bought the plot.
On Feb 25, 2009, as the house was nearing completion, an application was written to the IESCO for upgradation of the transformer. A demand note was issued by the IESCO on March 11, 2009 titled “extension of load and change of tariff”. A pay order of Rs 376,108 was deposited in the name of XEN (E), Islamabad-1 on March 24 and another pay order amounting to Rs 102,000 was submitted as security deposit.
“Consequently, the old transformer was removed and a new 100 kVA transformer was installed. It is evident that instead of investigating the matter and verifying his facts, Mr Abbasi has depended solely on hearsay.
“As far as the electricity meter is concerned, the published bill clearly shows the date it was installed (Dec 2003). The plot is in the P & V scheme of CDA where an agriculture meter D-2(1) is installed in routine (by default) till a house is built on the plot for permanent occupancy. The farmhouse was occupied a few days ago and the new meter with A-1(b) tariff (for residential use) is in the process of being installed this week in place of the old meter as per the above-mentioned demand note. The writer ought to know that exact electrical load is calculated and the purpose of the meter is clearly mentioned in all applications. The IESCO installs meters after verifying the usage and loads and the customer does not have the option of choosing meters. (A-1(b) tariff is for heavy load and is more expensive than A-1(a) tariff that the writer mentioned in his story).
“Unfortunately, an unnecessary issue has been created out of a non-issue. After providing clarifications in todayís follow-up story, the writer still ëstandsí by his story. It is easy to stand by a hearsay story, but it is difficult to stand by unverified and incorrect facts.”
The basic question cleverly evaded by the architect relates to the misuse of agriculture tariff (D-2(1)) by Musharraf for quite a few years. The architect says that it was installed by default but the fact remains that it was illegal to use the said tariff. After this admission of default connection and following Musharrafís claim that he did not ask anyone to give him cheaper tariff, it is yet to be seen if the former dictator would pay the differential amount.
It is also not yet clear if Musharraf had paid for the original transformer that has recently been replaced. About the tariff- A-1(b)- offered to Musharraf now after the unearthing of the scam by The News, it needs to be clarified if any other resident of Chak Shahzad is provided the same tariff.
It is to be mentioned here that it was not Musharraf alone but several others as well who have been or are being still enjoying concessional tariff illegally and with the connivance of IESCO officials.
***************************
Rejoinder of Hammad sb
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan – Electronic and Press Media in Pakistan is
enjoying full freedom since former President General Pervez Musharraf
adopted the unprecedented policy of liberation of media, which no one
ever dared to take on in the history of Pakistan. From state
controlled couple of channels in 1999 to more than 60 channels in
2008, it was no other than a ruler in military uniform that always
supported and encouraged the freedom of Expression. It seems ironical
that the same media later started calling him Dictator and crossed all
the limits of ethics in toppling him from office of President.
Like politicians of Pakistan, media quite often also behaves with so
much incivility and irresponsibility, which not only serves the
purpose of disinformation to the nation but also brings irrecoverable
damage to national interests. For few years, centre of gravity of
media and political parties is to bring down former President General
Musharraf by a well orchestrated and well sponsored campaign against
him. No news story attracts the attention of the reader, if it lacks
some scandalous ‘information’ about former President. It is quite
evident that ‘someone’ is still paying media to make false
perceptions.
On 23rd May, Daily ‘The News’ published a story by Mr. Ansar Abbasi
with the title, “Documents reveal power scandal in Chak Shahzad
palaces”, which was simply based on malicious reporting and twisted
facts. On TV channels and internet blogs, it appeared as big story and
spread much quickly. This one sided report was followed by the
‘Breaking News’ that former President has vacated the army house. To
add sensationalism in the news, it was said that Army has forced him
to leave the army house. It was further added that General Musharraf
has brought an apartment in London and is not likely to return back to
the country.
It was too much humiliating for all those who support General
Musharraf and honour him as an honest leader and the man who always
work for the ideology of ‘Pakistan First’. It was also so much sad and
shattering for former President himself that he appeared on different
channels and dismissed all such speculations. He said LOUD and CLEAR
that he would live permanently in Chak Chehzad and is not going to
leave Pakistan at all. He added that since the construction of his
house was completed in Chak Shehzad, he moved out of official
residence. On one question, he confirmed the news about his apartment
in London and told that his future schedule for lectures in different
countries and commitments for interviews is already well set. He has
bought a flat in London to serve as a staying station during his
visits. On one question he denied any role in killing of Nawab Akbar
Bugti, saying he is ready to deal with the allegations levelled
against him. He out rightly rejected any allegation regarding the
rigging in the General Elections of 18th February 2008. He rejected
the claim by PML-Q’s leadership that elections were engineered,
calling this accusation totally baseless. When he was enquired about
the allegation of acquiring electricity on cheaper rates, he rejected
this false allegation, saying he abides law and never remains involved
in such illegal act.
The next day spokesman for the Islamabad Electric Supply Company
(IESCO) clearified that new connection to the farmhouse is given as
per the IESCO-Wapda rules without showing favour to any VIP. He said
the contents of the news item were investigated and scrutinised, but
no irregularity was found in provision of new connections to these
farmhouses. There was no special concession in demand notices. (The
News-24th May 2009)
This whole episode clearly depicts how irresponsibly the news
reporters sometimes behave while making any story. Professional
reporters always take versions of all the parties involved. Mr. Ansar
Abbasi, unfortunately is too biased to practice this fundamental rule.
We doubt he is probably paid to write such malicious reports, with
half quoted and twisted facts. There is no freedom of media, without
having feel of responsibility and sense of ownership.
———————————————————————–
The given is the rejoinder to the malicious report of ‘The News’ by
Mr. Ansar Abbasi.
———————————————————————–
Written by Hammad Husain (Architect of Chak Shahzad farmhouse)
Mr Ansar Abbasi’s write-up in The News on 23rd May titled “Cheap
electricity for Musharraf, ex-ISI chief and others” is a classic case
of ‘hearsay’ journalism. Had the writer checked his facts, or at least
taken the version of those he has callously accused, as a professional
journalist is expected to do, his write-up would have been accurate.
Mr Abbasi has claimed that “Gen Musharraf’s farmhouse was provided a
free of cost transformer and other equipment in 2006”. This
information is totally wrong. The correct fact is that a 25 kVA
transformer was installed in 2003 right after Gen Musharraf bought the

application was written to IESCO for upgradation of the transformer. A
demand note was issued by IESCO on 11th March 09 titled “Extension of
load and change of tariff”. A pay order of Rs 376,108 was deposited in
the name of XEN(E), Islamabad-1 on 24th March and another pay order
amounting to Rs. 102,000 was submitted as security deposit.
Consequently, the old transformer was removed and a new 100 kVA
transformer was installed. It is evident that instead of investigating
the matter and verifying his facts, Mr Abbasi has depended solely on
hearsay.
As far as the electricity meter is concerned, the published bill
clearly shows the date it was installed (Dec 2003). The plot is in the
P & V scheme of CDA where an agriculture meter D-2(1) is installed in
routine (by default) till a house is built on the plot for permanent
occupancy. The farmhouse was occupied a few days ago and the new meter
with A-1(b) tariff (for residential use) is in the process of being

and loads and the customer does not have the option of choosing
meters. (A-1(b) tariff is for heavy load and is more expensive than A-1
(a) tariff that the writer mentioned in his story). Unfortunately, an
unnecessary issue has been created out of a non-issue. After providing
clarifications in today’s follow-up story, the writer still ‘stands’
by his story. It is easy to stand by a hearsay story, but it is
difficult to stand by unverified and incorrect facts.

Nawaz In London
Still looking the dreams to become third time PM of Pakistan, as I said menally sick and physically fat, he is well aware to become PM again he should go in Parliaments and amend the bill t become third time.
Still both brothers blaming Mushraff and Mushraff, they cannot eat they cannot sleep without taking Muhraff name, likewise the MUNAFAQ and one of the hated Journalists Ansar Abassi, recently i was looking some footag while General Mushraff was in India , even the presenter said during your time Pakistan’s economic was growing and was solid but after you Pakistan economic going fall day by day, same things was said by David Frost while Ex President was sitting A breakfast with David Frost.
Coud I ask why not both brothers accept te reality that during MUSHRAFF time our economy was strong and foreign investors trusting us to invest their money now days they dont belive.
Rcently KUT PUTLI PM gifted 30 Lakhs watch to Sohil Ahmed TV artists this news not from us from the old anchors Mr. Haqqani.
No action has been taken, no suo moto action.
Wall Street General, and Ecnomic newspaper already identifying that in Pakistan corruption is on top because PPP is well aware that they can be send home very soo and they are well aware that this is their last time in PM house an AIWANE SADAR.
Where is Khawaja Asif, Where is Saad Rafiq, Where is Chodhry Nisar , where is teir voices on this discrepancies , sorry they cannot attend this because somehow they are making alos DOSH.
If Nawaz Sharif was true politicans and was honest but he is not honest, why not he challanged NRO , why not IFTIKHAR CHOUDHRY not taking a suo moto actions.
The ground realitiy is that they all on DEAL to sit on chair again .
THIS IS THE BIGGEST MUNAFAQAT in the history of Pakistan.
What a shame for us, uneducated person is te minister of Tourisms, I mean Moulana Ata Ur Rehman the Brothe of Moulan Fazal Ur Reman
they are moulanas whose head in front of god but their activities say in DAGABAZI, god is looking all of this crime.
Same Imran Khan, the play boy have not looking his past activities – one of the sinner openly b DNS now his najaiz daughter is nearl 16 and taling about Islam.
SIMPLE IS THAT
THE CAT EAT 100 RATS AFTER THAT SHE WENT FOR HAJ.
Dear Supporters of Mushraff
Pakisan day by day in darkness and going fall , wake up wake up , come on the street , convey your messages to downing street and stay with yor deman in fron of Embassy, arranged the corner meetings arranged the press confereces and invite th media and show them the facts.
waiting yours all reply.

Why Sindh, Boluchistan and NWFP is always thinking they are lower class provinces
Becaue here is the examples
I am proud I am only Pakistani i dont k now my cast etc , I born in Pakistan and proud to be Pakistani.
Readers are requested please do not take another way.
Starting
We have three top TV Channels includings PTV
GEO AND ARY
I have not seen any anchors from aforementioned province
HAMID MIR – FROM PUNJAB
INSAR ABASSI ”
KASHIF Abassi ”
ABSAR ALM ”
ISRAR KASANA ”
MANY OTHERS
WHY this – why not from other provinces or they dont know the journalism or they uneducated
this is the question mark
why our Private channels not inviting other provinces anchors to have their views through their LIKEWISE
CAPITAL TALK
HOT TALKS
INSIGHT FOCUS
LEFT AND RIGHT
did only province is liable to present their anchors on this programmes , simply their monoploy (s)
They are sitting in Islamabad and Dubai and presenting their programmes and charging huge amount . their assests like RONALDO the Soccer players – their living styles like lavish ways, they call themself journalists ,bringing fake reports , inviting the same faces
some time Fouzia Wahab
some time Zafar Iqbal Jigra
some time Saad Rafiq
some time Khawaja Asif
calling on line Saeed Zaman Siddqui
Sheikh Rasheed
Nation hated now on this faces always saying the same things.
In whole europe and America there are lot of channels but restrictions there, they are showing latest technology , educational programme , IQ programmes, discoveries etc
day by day lower provinces suffering low class
AHSAS E MAHROOMI
We must change this faces bring new faces we are in 21st Centuary. Our enemies is laughing on us that same faces is always sitting in capital talk or mera mutabaq , kashif abbasi – israr kasana etc
The hated drama already was last 60 years but now flame is too high before this flame burn we must take the actions.
EVERY SINGLE DEPARTMEN IS HAPPENING
CRICKET BOARD RUNNING EJAZ BUTT
AFTER 20 20 WORLD CUP he dismissed the selection committee and trying to bring his own peoples
ON THE RECORD Wasim Bari whose relation with
Shoiab Mohammad was not good, on the record Shsoiab married to Wasim Bari’s Sister-in-Law the marriage broke up and they try to black mail Shoiab Mohammad but failed to do , they also stry to custody of Shoiab Son , Sheryiar BUT failed.
After the resignation of Abdul Qadir Ejaz Butt ask Wasim Bari to take over the Chairmanshisp of selection committee and Wasim Bari started hate work he dissmised Shoiab and Saleem Jafar.
Little Master Hanif Muhammad who is now 76 and the man whose record and services unbeatable whose family one time was the pillar o National team , his all brothers services for PAKISTAN CRICKET . HANIF SAHIB WAS CRYING THAT WHAT IS GOING IN PAKISTAN , we sacrifies our life and bring PAKISTAN NAME IN CRICKET TOP But they are throughing us they donrt want us to do some fair work.

Executive Order and restorations of Deposed Judges
I was sitting with some of my British Cum Pakistani Friends who they are the Top Solicitors based on Holborn where all law offices situated.
They were laughing on the Executive Order and restorations of Deposed Judges.
1) they said you are electaed parliaments
current parliaments born from the 2007 elections which was organised by Ex presidents and The chief Executive (PM) taking the oath from Prsident of Pakistan , means from President Mushraff
They said this means whatever Ex president done they accepted all things and valid his 3rd November actions and endorsed the amendments.
This cannot be reverse until the one third majority of Parliaments bring this issue whether accept or void or nul.
What they said in pakistan there is no law only brotherism , PROVINCIALISM AND CHOUDHRYISM.
What they said they did but future of Pakistan is looking darkness, anybody can come make the executive orders even the person who was most wanted in terrorism on one executive order he can be released.
what is happening in pakistan god knows.
where is civil socity where is human rights while our army is fightng with extremist they are giving the sacrifies for the sake of Pakistan and to safe their country , anyone went there and ask them what there families needed.
i openly and regret even hanged , the civil society of Pakistan is toolas of NAWAZ AND SHEBAZ they arranged the money to do against President Mushraff and same the bloody Asma Jilani the one of the corrupt women who make the donatins in the name of human rights and living in lavish sytle. All woments she hired sorry to say professionals.

We really miss you sir! You have been the best leader Pakistan can ever have. I rank you with leaders like Quaid Azam, and Allama Iqbal. I liked and admired you right from the first day when you took over as the chief executive. I was a teenager then knowing nothing about politics. still I felt somehow that you’re the best leader, You’re being in the army proved that you’re loyal to our beloved Pakistan. We want you back.

Sir, it is very touchy when I hear your character assassination by some so called analyst on Pakistani Print and Electronic Media. A one way maligning campaign has been initiated by PML (N) who is afraid you may not announce to join the politics. They want to take revenge by launching your trial. In my meager opinion, is it not possible you form a team of well learned personnel you can defend you in Media.
Sir, it is my earnest desire that you should be play role in Pakistan Political where no body is serious to work for poor masses and defend the case of Pakistan on external front where humiliation campaign is being driven by enemy of our dear homeland.
Finally, I pray for your long live, honour and dignity and May God protect you from your enemies.
With thanks
