My dearest friend and coursemate Major General
Asif Khattak , as ISI station chief in Kabul in 2004
recollected how Pakistani diplomats lived in
requisitioned houses and billed the poor Pakistani

3. state for double to triple the amount of rents that
they actually paid to house owners in Kabul.
When Khattak a thoroughly honest ISI officer
reported this matter he was harmed by the apology
of diplomats constituting the Kabul set up.
My uncle while serving as ambassador in Saudi
Arabia recollected a so called diplomat in Pakistani
embassy who he graded adversely and packed off
to Pakistan for corruption ! He was rewarded by
being sent on National Defence Course by the
Pakistani mafia of so called officers ! I met this
character in the office of librarian of National
Defence University and when this scribe casually
mentioned his uncle , he fled from the librarians
room !
Afghan Embassy in Islamabad was equally notorious
and was charging under the table gratification
between 45,000 Rs to 70,000 Rs for Afghan six
months multiple entry visa till todate !

4. Pakistani embassy in Kabul is equally notorious
despite few honest ISI officers like Asif Khattak who
tried to reform it in 2004 !
Recently Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi
introduced a brilliant scheme which was that if any
person buys PIA Kabul Islamabad Air Ticket , he
would be given a visa on arrival at Islamabad
airport !
This scheme badly hurt Pakistani officials in Kabul
who are notorious for charging heavy amounts for
granting visas !
The MAFIA came into operation and DAWN
Pakistan today carried the news that “THERE WAS
NO SUCH SCHEME ! “
Interestingly I have Tickets of PIA flight actually
bought for the 13th
September PIA Flight which
would have BROKEN THE ROTTEN CORRUPT BACK
OF PAKISTANI OFFICIALS SELLING PAKISTANI VISAS
IN KABUL !

5. Shah Mahmood Qureshis brilliant scheme that
would have BROUGHT TOTAL GOODWILL TO
PAKISTAN has been SABOTAGED !
Shah Mahmood is an AITCHISON educated Blue
Blooded educated person and LOYAL TO PAKISTANS
INTERESTS. But the LOWER MIDDLE CLASS, SOCIAL
CLIMBER BOYS IN Pakistani foreign office ,
intelligence agencies and border security are only
thinking about how much can the helpless Afghans
and foreigners stranded in AFGHANISTAN can be
BLED WHITE in shape of QUAID E AZAM as Pakistani
CURRENCY IS CALLED OR DOLLARS OR EUROS !
Pakistan is the LOSER !
Afghan money , foreign money , is RAPIDLY
FLOWING into pockets of CORRUPT PAKISTANI
OFFICIALS AND THE ONLY LOSER IS THE PAKISTANI
STATE !

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) on Saturday denied that it would
resume commercial flights from Islamabad to Kabul next week.
Earlier today, AFP had quoted PIA spokesman Abdullah Hafeez Khan as saying that the
airline had received all technical clearances for flight operations.
The report had quoted him as saying that the first commercial plane was scheduled to
fly from Islamabad to Kabul on September 13.
However, the PIA spokesperson later issued a clarification and denied that the airline
was resuming commercial flights.
Speaking to Voice of America, he said that there was still some time to go before
resuming flight operations, adding that it depends on a multitude of factors on the
ground that "are still to be managed".
According to the publication, the PIA spokesperson said that media reports suggesting
flights would resume from Monday "had been taken out of context".
He said that some international institutions and missions in the Afghan capital were
regularly in contact with PIA and had requested to run charter flights, prompting the
airline to seek permission.
“We had actually applied for a charter flight permission to Kabul that was taken up by
media and they actually said PIA is now resuming its regular flight operation from Sept
13, which is not the case,” the VOA report quoted him as saying.
According to the PIA spokesperson, “certain arrangements” need to be in place before
flight operations could resume.
Kabul airport was severely damaged during a chaotic evacuation of over 120,000 people
that ended with the withdrawal of US forces on August 30. The Taliban have been
scrambling to get it operating again with Qatari technical assistance.
In the last two days, Qatar Airways has operated two charter flights out of
Kabul, carrying mostly foreigners and Afghans who missed being taken out during the
evacuation. An Afghan airline resumed domestic flights last week.

7. The PIA had on Aug 16 suspended its flights to Afghanistan due to the uncertain
security situation in the war-ravaged country and the mess prevailing at Kabul airport’s
apron.
