PMLN Govt Plans to Lease Out PSM for 45 Years

Pakistan Steel Mills (PSM) has become Pakistan's first Govt institution after PIA to file continuously for losses. So far, it has reached to a record $5 billion debt as losses over the last 3 years have doubled.  

Moonis Elahi, a young Pakistani parliamentarian, has denounced incumbent government's decision, and termed it a strategy to create opportunities to plunder Pakistan. The country's largest industrial complex would be leased to a private firm which succeeds in presenting the highest revenue sharing proposal. It has been revealed that almost 5000 employees would be laid off. A transaction committee on Monday discussed the various options and the lease term would be finalized on Tuesday 17th January 2017.

The present state of PSM is due to over hiring, unchecked corruption, inefficiency and the Govt's non serious attitude towards it said Moonis Elahi. The PSM’s accumulated losses and liabilities, which stood at Rs26bn at the end of 2008, have increased to around Rs415bn, including Rs166bn payable liabilities.  

The government has injected over Rs85bn out of the federal budget for various bailout packages since then. Since the PMLN's government, PSM's losses have doubled and the talks to lease or sell it had started surfacing quite early. It has been decided that the land would remain Govt property whle the building and machinery will be given on lease.

Moonis Elahi says PM's Bosnia Holiday, Mockery Of The Poor Of The Nation

It seems PMLN has no shortage of morons in its advisory cabinet. Just when an issue is burning hot, PMLN leadership decides to step in the burning oil and highlight itself for a new controversy. Just a few days ago the crash of the ill-fated PK661 sparked outrage over the PIA administration and the incumbent Govt highlighting how the airline is in losses yet there are no concrete steps taken to stabilize it. Moonis Elahi has condemned the decision of Prime Minister to use one of the few PIA's Boeing 777 for his personal visit to Bosnia on 3 days trip causing another loss worth millions of Rupees in these 3 days.

While there is no official announcement of the purpose of his visit, Nawaz Sharif has chosen to damage PIA in yet another agonizing way. Moonis Elahi pointed out the fact that Nawaz Sharif has not disclosed the purpose of his trip nor has he announced how many people would accompany him. A personal visit should not be a burden on the state. It has been noted before that his grandchildren have accompanied him and even sat in the UN's halls just for the sake of pleasure at the expense of Pakistani tax payer. It is evident that the PMLN leadership thinks of the nation as their slaves while they are kings.

PIA ATR - 42 aircraft PK661 crashes en-route to Islamabad, no survivors 2016

On Wednesday a PIA ATR - 42 aircraft PK661 crashed in the mountains of Havelian while enroute from Chitral to Islamabad. The ill fated plane was carrying 42 passengers along with 5 crew members and lost contact with control tower around 4:41pm. PIA confirmed the crash soon after reports about a plane gone missing began surfacing. One of Pakistan's famous personalities Junaid Jamshed was one of the passengers who lost his life in the crash. Moonis Elahi and all leaders of PMLQ expressed grief and sorrow over the tragic incident and a minute of silence was noted at the PMLQ headquarters.

 

Pakistan International Airlines, the flag bearer of Pakistan, has become controversial about its safety standards and battered planes. Owing to politically influenced hiring in the crew it has become over burdened and a hub of corruption. Moonis Elahi agreed to the nation's call to provide an fair inquiry into the cause of the crash which has shook the nation. People expressed grief and shock on social media and the entire nation criticized Govt's failure to make PIA safe after so many promises and claims which all proved to be false. Such incident will make PIA suffer more losses as more people will try to refrain from flying through the national airlines.

 

According to DAWN news the pilot had made a "MAYDAY" call minutes before the crash. Soon after the take off the left engine failed and the pilot informed about it but it the ground crew thought the plane would make its journey only on a single engine. The 7 year old aircraft has had history of being faulty but the engineers kept it flying. Moonis Elahi stated that during the PMLQ regime public safety was their major concern and the Rescue 1122 is a clear proof. PMLN does not bother itself with such issues it just needs an excuse to stay in the limelight and litter the Mall Rd with their posters.

 

The news of the crash became even more widespread with the loss of Junaid Jamshed who was on the flight. The Pakistani icon was on a religious tour in Chitral and was coming back to Islamabad when he boarded the ill fated PK661. Moonis Elahi has expressed grief over the loss of precious lives lost in the crash. We must learn from our mistakes but unfortunately the incumbent government has never learnt from the past. It continues to play with innocent lives and when a tragedy happens, all PMLN ministers vanish like they never existed. Will there ever be a fair inquiry over this crash? Will we ever see justice provided to the people who lost their lives? Only time will tell.

Moonis Elahi Condemns Appointing Ex-Indian Airline Serviceman as PIA Chief

Nawaz Sharif's lovefor Indians is a huge question mark upon his loyalty towards Pakistan. There are numerous reports pointing towards his unjust favoritism of Indians. PIA's current COO Bernd Hildenbrand is a German national and is alleged to be an ex-employee of Indian national airlines. It is also on record that his wife currently holds a top position in the Indian airlines.   

Moonis Elahi openly opposes hiring people who pose a threat to Pakistan's sovereignty. Nawaz Sharifshould instruct his cabinet to refrain from making such decisions which may prove to be fatal for Pakistan. It is reported that security institutions have not yet issued him a NOC.
