Terroristan - March 31, 2022

[jash_p]

On the foreign policy front, the PML-N promises to send a “message of peace” to other countries, including India on the condition of reverting its August 2019 action on India-occupied Kashmir.

So Nawaz Sharif did big favor to India by declaring he will not talk to India, and liberals and candle kissers are disappointed.

Pakistan will now give 'befitting reply' to Iran by killing 18 Pakistanis...

9 Pakistani labourers shot dead in Iran

Nine Pakistani workers were gunned down by unidentified attackers in Iran’s Sistan-Baluchestan province near the border with Pakistan on Saturday, as the neighbouring countries have sought to ease tensions after deadly cross-border fire.

Pakistani khujli:

1.

Pakistan's Army Chief Gen. Asim Munir has made a statement emphasizing the importance of the safety and security of Pakistani citizens, stating that the life of a single Pakistani is more important than the entirety of Afghanistan, as reported by Pakistani media.

That sounds very patriotic and all, but then how can you turn around and condemn Israel for acting on the policy that the life of a single Israeli is more important than the entirety of the Palestinians?

2.
In an address to the Kanpur Muslim Students Federation Conference, March 30, 1941,

Mr Jinnah said that in order to liberate seven crores of Muslims where they were in a majority he was willing to perform the last ceremony of martyrdom if necessary and let two crores of Muslims be smashed.

That is all well and good, but when your national ideology is that the Muslims in Bharat can be smashed, then with what face are you protesting the end of a defunct, unused mosque-like structure? Nothing like the smashing and martyrdom of the Bharatiya Muslims is happening; but you were willing to let that happen, so why these tears and complaints over this Babri abomination?

Interesting watch this.
The brown panted ones invite British youtubers to showcase Terroristan and gives them armed escorts to keep them safe, but birather Iran decides to Bomb the party.

I am just curious if any of you observed these (I know it will be unpopular).
- The train station platforms seemed to be pretty clean and well maintained, even though the buildings were fairly dated and lack of tea stalls etc. like in India.
- The roads and pavements of the places that Benjamin was driving through seemed pretty clean and maintained.

Karachi however is pretty pathetic.

Train stations are neat because many of them cater to a few trains a day, you can see such train stations in India where almost all trains pass through without stopping. India probably runs 300x number of trains. Those train stations like in the days of the Raj. Further you can clearly see a/c train seems like a luxury.

Aditya ji,

the more plausible reason is like these stations have been cleaned up just before these gora vloggers arrived .............

The Yawn:

LAHORE: Dera Ghazi Khan region police are on high-alert following reports that the banned terrorist organisation Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has launched a new wing comprising highly-trained, well-equipped and ferocious militants, to specifically target the Punjab police personnel to make inroads into the province’s territory.

…
A senior official told Dawn on Sunday that the TTP, after launching the outfit named ‘Istrna’, which is focusing on targeted attacks on Punjab’s law enforcement agencies, has increased its influence and fear among the local tribal people.
…
The official claims that the new TTP offshoot has also links with a militant group based in a neighbouring country.

MeshaVishwas ji,


the pakis are deeply offended by India ignoring them, because it was they who were doing the ignoring during the congi sarkar, while wining and dining with assorted politicos, as also the lootyens mafia in dilli. Govt secrets would reach the pakis well before it even reached the bellwethers of Indian presstitute media who then used it to trade and barter for their personal profit

sadly for them, the joothi is on the other foot now and that is causing the cognitive dissonance

The paki jernails have been exposed for the greedy, grubby little thelawallas that they really are, losers and traitors who would sell their mothers for a quick buck

satyarthi is in the deep recovery and self rehabilitation mode

no one gave/gives a damn about his nobel, not the people, not the lelis and the chattering classes, and certainly not the govt....

the BIF expected that satyarthi would become not only a prominent dissenter and the doyen of popular protest and resistance against Modi and the RSS but also an internationally credible "freethinking" voice that would be able to galvanize public opinion around his "pearls of wisdom" but after a few desultory tries, snubbed satyarthi simply pocketed the nobel bounty and embarked on a comfortable life

this is what offended the paki jernail

Nobel Peace Laureate and social reformer Kailash Satyarthi on Monday said “Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Pran Pratishtha… is definitely a historic day" where he was invited for the ceremony

‘Coordinated’ terror attacks launched on Balochistan’s Mach town

QUETTA: Security for­ces thwarted three coordinated attacks launched by terrorists using rockets and sophisticated weapons in Mach town on Monday night, some 70km from the provincial capital, officials said.

At least one policeman was reportedly martyred while a truck driver injured in the horrific assault.

While Balochistan’s caretaker Minister for Informa­tion Jan Achakzai attributed the attack to terrorists affiliated with the Aslam Acho group, responsibility was later claimed by the Majeed Brigade of the proscribed Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA).

“The terrorists have now retreated, and our security forces are currently in pursuit. We remain hopeful that all threats will be eliminated before dawn, by the grace of God,” he said, adding that security forces had successfully thwarted the attacks.

According to the police, at least 15 rockets were fired from nearby mountains, which landed and exploded in different areas of Mach town. After firing rockets, terrorists attacked a camp of the security forces near the central jail and also entered the Mach railway station. There were reports that a railway policeman was martyred in the attack, while a truck driver injured. However, no casualty was officially confirmed
The Inspector General Prisons, Balochistan, Shuja Kasi confirmed that rockets hit the walls of the residential colony of the Mach jail.

“Mortar shells and rockets exploded close to the walls of the colony,” he said, adding that no report of any casualty was received so far.

The jail superintendent refuted social media reports that the gate and walls of the prison had been damaged. “Mach Jail and prisoners are completely safe and no rocket hit jail walls or premises,” he said.

The officer said that at present 800 prisoners were kept in Mach Jail which includes some death-row prisoners. Sources said that armed men also attacked a police station in the Gokrt area. However, Levies and security forces immediately responded and thwarted it. However, a truck driver, Abdul Malik Shahwani was brought to the district hospital Dhadar with bullet injuries.

Yawn - Imran Khan, Shah Mahmood Qureshi sentenced to 10 years in jail in cipher case

A special court established under the Official Secrets Act on Tuesday handed both former premier Imran Khan and ex-foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi 10 years in jail in the cipher case.

This is Imran’s second conviction as he was also convicted in the Toshakhana case on Aug 5, and sentenced to three years’ imprisonment. The Islamabad High Court (IHC) had suspended his sentence.

In yet another blow to Imran Khan and his party, the former premier and his wife Bushra Bibi on Wednesday were sentenced to 14 years in jail in the Toshakhana reference.

Today’s conviction is Imran’s third. A day earlier, a special court established under the Official Secrets Act sentenced Imran and his foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi to 10 years in prison for the breach of state secrets.

Previously, he was convicted in a separate Toshakhana case on Aug 5, and sentenced to three years’ imprisonment.

The Hill reporter Ryan Grimm nails US State Dept for silence on sentencing of Imran Khan

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mmB6UrTAf4

Bard Summary

This video discusses the US State Department's response to the jailing of Imran Khan, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, and the different treatment it gives to the situations in Venezuela and Pakistan.

The US has imposed sanctions on Venezuela in response to the Maduro regime's crackdown on democracy and its failure to uphold its commitments, including allowing free and fair elections.
In contrast, the US has not imposed sanctions on Pakistan, despite concerns about the fairness of Khan's trial and the Pakistani military's influence over the courts.
This difference in treatment is likely due to the fact that Venezuela is considered an adversary of the US, while Pakistan is an ally.
The US has also been criticized for its muted response to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which is a major concern for many in the Muslim world, including Khan's supporters.
The video concludes by noting that the US's response to these issues is likely to have a significant impact on its relationships with both Pakistan and the Muslim world more broadly.

I hope this summary is helpful!

a piddly magsaysay to rubbish kumar, the fifth Indian journalist to receive the ramon magsaysay award in 2019 and just see what kind of BIF doormat and house ni**er this traitorous and delusional scum has become.

not to even mention the likes of amartya sen, whose ancient and decrepit family jewels itch fiercely, when ever India, Modi and the RSS is mentioned and yet the Sanatanis', whose the sense of shatrubodh is entirely missing in their civilizational psyche, foolishly gave him the Bharat Ratna

He married (his third marriage) into the Rothschild family in 1991 and magically got the nobel in 1998 & Bharat Ratna in 1999.

Now, close to 90, his "get up and go" seems to have "got up and gone" and he yet remains venomously anti Indian, and is a woke commie and urban naxal

but, can one expect any better from a transplanted, born, bred, and dyed in the wool beedi .........

A Rawalpindi court on Saturday sentenced former prime minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi to seven years in jail each in a case related to their marriage during the latter’s Iddat period.

So Immy has a jail partner ship of 21 years with bibi and 10 years with Qureshi.

And he is collecting the terms at a very good run rate

Especially the part where he is aghast at the rapidly declining standards of Democracy in India! Heck, he even went on to quote a survey that put India's democracy at the 109th rank in the world. Then, after a dramatic pause, he added that Pakistan was ranked 106th in the same survey!

https://www.cfr.org/in-brief/pakistan-e ... -elections

On February 8, Pakistan’s voters will elect a leader tasked with managing one of the country’s worst-ever economic crises, an escalating terrorism problem that has recently kindled tensions with Afghanistan and Iran, and a long-standing border impasse with India. But with former Prime Minister Imran Khan barred from participating and the military maneuvering behind the scenes, international observers say the elections will likely be neither free nor fair.

wow, seriously did not know it was so soon

Nawaz Sharif. The front-runner, Sharif is a three-time former prime minister who recently returned from exile in the United Kingdom, where he fled in 2019 after losing backing from Pakistan’s influential military and being charged with corruption. Experts including Senior Advisor at the U.S. Institute of Peace and former CFR Fellow Daniel Markey say Sharif has since mended ties with the military and is now acting as its proxy. Sharif is running on the ticket of a party he founded, the center-right Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari. The son and grandson of former Pakistani prime ministers, Bhutto is the candidate for the center-left Pakistan People’s Party.

Imran Khan. Khan is by far the most popular politician in Pakistan and was the last elected prime minister, but he will not be on the February ballot. His term ended with a vote of no confidence after he lost the support of the military in 2022 and he was arrested and sentenced to prison on corruption charges, a move that his supporters say are politically motivated. Islamabad’s electoral commission has banned Khan and many other candidates from his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party from politics.

what, bilawal is in the fray this time? feckin hell, a real descendant of the geoeconomic school of thought

The elections come amid a spiraling economic crisis and a worsening security situation. In the past two years, the Pakistani rupee dropped to a record low; inflation soared as food, fuel, and medicine costs spiked; foreign reserves shrank; the country approached default several times; floods wrought tens of billions of dollars in damages; and blackouts caused significant disruptions. As prime minister, Khan railed against an International Monetary Fund (IMF) loan program Pakistan had entered in 2019, and subsequent efforts to rejoin it have been accompanied by steep austerity measures.

Meanwhile, Pakistan’s largely ungoverned western border regions are again at the center of fears of destabilizing conflict. Terrorist attacks killed more than 1,500 people in 2023, the deadliest year for terrorism-related fatalities in the country since 2016. Tensions with Afghanistan over its alleged support for terrorist groups led Pakistani officials to order the deportation of almost two million Afghan migrants in late 2023. In January 2024, Tehran bombed what it said were separatist militants in Pakistan, and Islamabad responded by bombing separatist targets of its own in Iran—the first air strikes on Iranian soil in almost four decades.

The United States. Pakistan was a leading recipient [PDF] of U.S. aid for much of the twenty-first century amid the war in Afghanistan, but tensions grew over what Washington felt was Islamabad’s lack of initiative against militant groups during the war. Relations worsened further under Khan as he criticized the United States and attempted to form closer ties with China. Pakistan has also recently distanced itself from President Joe Biden’s efforts to promote democracy globally. Some experts say Washington has decided to tread softly on Islamabad’s electoral issues, in contrast with its assertive stance on Bangladesh’s recent elections, to avoid a deeper political crisis.

India. Decades of tension between the two nuclear-armed powers had threatened to boil over during the 2019 cross-border conflicts in Kashmir. But India will also be holding general elections this year, and some analysts argue that under a Sharif administration, another term for incumbent Prime Minister Narendra Modi holds the potential for a normalization of relations.

yeah, not happening

China. Beijing has become one of Islamabad’s most important allies, providing military assistance and billions of dollars of investment through China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) global infrastructure push. Some BRI projects, such as the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, have slowed and even stalled in recent years, but analysts say that a new Sharif government could put these projects back on track and potentially accelerate cooperation with Beijing.

paki analysts have been more shendi-master than analysts since their inception

Bangladesh has raced ahead of Pak. Its per capita income is 80% higher. Even that is deceptive because Pak has more inequality.
Bangladesh exports are also 80% higher.
Life expectancy & literacy are well ahead in Bangladesh. Bangladesh has close to 100% school enrollment. Pak is 60% including those educated in a Madrasa and are illiterate for all practical purposes.

That enormous disparity in the number of locomotives must reveal something about the two societies. And it ain’t that Pakistanis don’t need trains because they can afford to travel by air.


It speaks to a modernising economy versus a feudal one. Feudal economies are geographically circumscribed. That is they are local. It comments on government priorities. And the forging of a nation. Indians are accepting of other Indians. Actually I am not sure about sikhs and muslims. So Hindus are free to move for education business, marriage. Are rural or even urban Sindhis tolerated in Lahore?

There is grain and industrial goods, cars and missiles to shuttle around by rail… as well as goods to reach the ports for export.


This locomotive statistic really focuses on the degeneracy of national function and purpose in Pakistan. What a remarkable statistic.
