Now as it has been officially announced about executive ellections, it will be interesting to see the candidates and their credibility for the position. Political wrestling has been started. For some people it is "FINGER LICKING GOOD" and for some people politics on community level is just a "FUNNY FARM".

As executives elections are on its way, according to PANZ web site we have four contenders , contesting for this elections, thought community want to know about these contender, and hope other will do the same to introduce themself , so new comer of community will able to know , who will be leading us Below mentions article was on Sohni Dharti couple of years ago   Dear Friends, I am replying to Mr Saeed Nasir's request. As far as I am concerned I have been in New Zealand for the last fifteen years and am one of the founder members of the defunct PANZ. The creation of the Association was honest and sincere and I left the PANZ completely after alot of leg pulling by some selfish people. I had collected by my personal efforts more tha 13,000 dollars in the PANZ account in 1998. I was very lucky that I had a treasurer like Mohammad Ali Meemee who was extremely honest and we collected money by mere hard work. I was granted a Queens Service medal for public service and not community service as a a chairman of Board of Trustees for Pakurnga School a member of two charity groups in Pakuranga and the electortae vice chairman of a poilitical party. Pakistan Association was my contribution to Pakistan community and I am proud of being honest and sincere. I worked for PIA from 1967 to 1987 and retired as a Regional Manager. I was educated at Punjab University and after a master's degree in 1966 I joined as a lecturer and then joined PIA. I had very important assignments like managing the Parliament of Pakistan's office of PIA for threeyears.Travelling to foreign countries . Travelled to China as leader of a delegation consisting of all the US ambassadors and their wives posted in middle East and Asia in 1978.Travelled with prime Minister and President of Pakistan etc. I was the ICP of the Islamic foreign Ministers conference in Islamabad in 1979 and the President of Pakistan personaly appreciated my services being incharge of the operations control. These are the few achievements I am proud of and in New Zealand my office provides free passport and visa service to all pakistanies during the last fifteen years and nobody can deny that but there has never been a word of appreciation from anybody. We are here only to criticise and plot aginst each other. It is very sad that we are in a state of confusion today and every one of us is a leader and there is no Janta. nobody respects any body and everybody is tees maar khan. Regards Tauqir Khan

Jumshshed ul Hassan is long time friend of community he went trough a lot of ups and downs of community pressure, it impressed Sohni Dharti, when he took over White Sawan Islamic centre as a caretaker, those days this Islamic centre was going through enormous pressure, one stage it was on brink of repossession, it was Mr Hussan who came to rescue it and payed a generous amount from his pocket to save this Islamic centre and not only this, he made this building live able by putting toilet and bath facilities, He is still a caretaker of this centre and pay more then his fair share to keep this centre going, Sohni Dharti believe Mr Hussan would be an asset to community , who can and will bring peace and harmony of co existence

Syed Waqar Ali Sohni Dharti don’t know much about Syed Waqar Ali, All we know that he helped PANZ ,in time of Zef,   when PANZ was so down under the debt of more then $12000, it was Mr Waqar who payed bulk amount to PANZ to resort its integrity,

This is the message pasted on Sohni Dharti 23/05/2002.It is little intro Mr Khan, for those who wants to know about Mr Khan Another thing Sohni Dharti would like to mention that he was awarded the highest community award of 2001of Sohni Dharti . there are Four people in community, Mohammad Azeem , in 1998 , Tauqir Khan,and 2001 , Mateen Saddiqi, in 2002 and Ch Yaqoob Taquir Khan in my eyes I know Mr Khan from last 14 years Mr Khan has reputation in community as stretcher but in my personal belief it is not true. 3 years ago he was honoured by Queen award of community services People thought that was because long term leadership Pakistani community which is not true actually this started from Pakoraga high school and I am eye witness of this. Those days me and my friend use to Halal pie making business Mr khan invite us to a fun fair in that school to sell our pies there I came to know that Mr khan is chairman of that school trust and he main organiser of that fun fair from next to us it was Mr khans stall he and his wife selling Pakistani dish fresh PAKORA every customer who stand by him asking what is this Mr Khan explain that it is very papular Pakistani dish and would not let any one go with out tasting one At the end he donated all his earning to school . He and his wife pledge their self to build new room for this school and they DID it (good on you Mr Khan) .When Mr khan told me about this medal I said Queen did not give it to you errand it . Now Mr Khan is contesting for PANZ election as a Executive .You might have already seen his comments in Sohni Dharti

hi,
BILLA GEE  if community is so much interested in FIVE exectives, so then why not election commissoin can make any amendment in PANZ constitution.
Who is binding their hands.election commission should be free and act according to the wishes of welllwishers like you people.
you can call an emergengy meeting or can conduct poll.
if sohni dharti is sincere they can force election commission to do that amendment.
thnx.

thats the thing sohni dharti dont know any thing about those spend heaps of money for the help of PANZ but they know heaps about those who have done nothing for community.
dont get angry i am right.and this is true.
sohni dharti should try to expose those who are not in favour of sohni dharti but still working for community better than any body else.

Exec Talking with Jamshaid ul Hussan moulana Saleem said that Nadeem is only trustee of Al Hijaz. in what capacity he says that white Sawn Islamic centre money can be spend on Jinnah hall cum Masjid , molana Saleem said we have bought this place to run Islamic centre there is no place for Jinnah Hall or Pakistan hall in Al Hijaz trust In answering to question from Sohni Dharti , Mr. Hussan, who is owner of this building said Al Hijaz trust is a failed trust , which couldn't run it properly , since I have taken over the trust charge, its own trustees who used to pay their contributions through automatic payments have stooped . Why? Because they don’t have any interest running it , Mr. Hussan said I am suffering from last 3 years paying more then my fair share , Now these trustees, who once want auction this building , now want me to transfer to same people . Mr. Hussan said I will not give this building to same people who were failures in past , he said we need new people in trust with enthusiasm to complete it as Islamic centre otherwise I will give it to Pakistani community to fulfilled their dream of Jinnah hall cum Masjid

213042 MSN said...



its very clear that according to our culture we can have a mosque in jinnah hall.but its hard to have a jinnah hall in mosque its common sense.if some wise people sit together they can easily sort it out how to draw a map for jinnah hall in which we can also have a mosque.
its very easy we just need UNITY which can be promoted by this great site among pakistanies.

EVEN NON OF THE CONTESTANT TRIED TO USE THE CONVINCING POWER.WHICH IS ACTUALLY NOT A DEMOCRATIC BEHAVIOUR. BUT I KNOW DEMOCRACY IS FAR FROM US PEOPLE .WE BELIEVE IN ONLY TYRANTS. SORRY SIR.
