Admission of state sponsored terrorism by Pakistani authorities


see this Der Spigel Interview where Musharraf admits to that.

On 7th Nov in TimesNow Channel, Tasneem Noorani, a former Secretary of the Pakistani Interior Ministry, openly said that.

Kiyani called the Haqqanis as strategic assets.

In Dec. 2008, President Zardari himself admitted to ISI helping LeT. He said,"The links between the Inter-Services Intelligence Agency and the LeT were developed in the old days when dictators used to run the country. After the 9/11 terror attacks in the US, things have changed to a great extent"

In an address to bureaucrats in July 2009, President Zardari said: "Militants and extremists were deliberately created and nurtured as a policy to achieve some short-term tactical objectives. Let us be truthful to ourselves and make a candid admission of the realities. The terrorists of today were the heroes of yesteryears until 9/11 occurred and they began to haunt us as well"

In Nov. 2009, Prime Minister Gilani admitted to the support for terrorism by Musharraf as "running with the hares and hunting with the hounds".

When Bush warned the Pakistanis in August 2008 of their support to Al Qaeda, Afrasiab Khattak, President of Awami National Party (ANP) said this: "The question is why it has taken the Americans so long to see what the ISI is doing. We’ve been telling them for years but they wouldn’t buy it.". See here.

In an interview to the BBC as far back as on Feb. 13, 1994, Benazir Bhutto admitted how she handed over to Rajiv Gandhi the complete list of Sikh activists colluding with the ISI in terrorism in the Punjab. Later, Nawaz Sharif described this interview as a faux pas.

Apart from these, of course, numerous Pakistani commentators, analysts, and editors have openly admitted to terror as a state policy.

Why Did Pakistan's Spy Chief Make a Secret Trip to China?
Pasha's China trip has been interpreted by some as a tacit act of defiance—a reminder to his American counterparts that the Pakistanis can always look east to their “all-weather” friend across the Himalayas rather than bend the knee to the will of the U.S.

But it also may be a sign of China's growing disquiet with Pakistan. Another top-ranking Pakistani military officer, Lt. Gen Wahid Arshad, had already conducted a considerable tour of China just weeks ago in a bid to improve ties. A few analysts have suggested that Pasha's trip — couched in vague terms about building a “broad-based strategic dialogue” — may have been less a visit and more of a summons.
Chinese officials claimed the attacks in Kashgar were authored by the shadowy East Turkestan Islamic Movement, a jihadist organization of mostly ethnic Uighurs, a Turkic Muslim minority that comprises the majority in the far-western Chinese region of Xinjiang. China routinely invokes the specter of the terrorist threat when cracking down on dissent in the restive region. Yet disturbances there tend to be triggered more often by social discontent — many Uighurs chafe at state policies they deem discriminatory and marginalizing — than militant connivance. Pasha's presence in Beijing may mark Beijing's continued efforts to root out Uighur dissidents and sympathizers beyond China's borders, as it has already done in Kazakhstan.

In Pakistan, Talks Aim to Ease Split
By DECLAN WALSH and SALMAN MASOOD
Published: January 14, 2012
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistan’s civilian and military leaders met Saturday for the first time since the eruption of a bitter political and legal controversy that stoked rumors of a military coup and could still topple the precariously weak civilian government.
After days of combative statements from both sides, President Asif Ali Zardari and the army chief, Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, sat face to face in the presidency building overlooking Islamabad.
It was their first public interaction in more than a month and an indication that relations have not completely broken down.
Only four days earlier, the military had warned of “potentially grievous consequences” if civilian criticism of General Kayani continued, while the government fired one of the military’s top civilian allies, a retired three-star general in the Defense Ministry.
That exchange triggered frenzied speculation that Pakistan’s fifth military coup was imminent, particularly after President Zardari left on a visit to Dubai 24 hours later. By Saturday, though, tempers had visibly cooled......."

This is extremely fishy by any standard. why would an IM care for Punjabi and shower so much love on Nan-Khana Saheb? I hope Pakis wear their "cut the nose to spite the face" hat and ban this project thinking its an international conspiracy to hurt Oordu, Persian, Arabic and above all Islam.

But biradars, bhat is thij other IT bijness and $560 mil exbort figures came out of whose musharraf, aye poochh?
Pakistan’s IT industry flourishes in 2011 despite the rising tension with US
According to an estimate by the PSEB, the industries export in 2011 stand at about $560 million and analysts believe that this value can rise up to $860 millions, if the Industry continue to grow at this rate...

Imran further said that the industry is working at full capacity on the HR side at this point of time but that does not mean all IT professionals have jobs. All this is because many fresh graduates do not have the skills required by the companies.
there are rumors bakistan will reach $10b IT export by 2020 :mrgreen:

Pakistan learnt no lesson from 1971
Imran relates govt's treatment of Pashtuns to Bangalees

Staff Correspondent

Pakistani politician and former cricketer Imran Khan said if the Pakistanis who committed crimes during the Liberation War of Bangladesh had been punished, the present scenario in Pakistan would have been different.

The Caravan, a Britain-based magazine, published an interview of Imran on its January issue. Imran told the magazine the events (Bangladesh's Liberation War) in 1971 provided a lesson about the rule of law.

"Had people been punished, we [Pakistan] would not be going through this again," said Imran.

The cricketer-turned politician told the magazine he had overhead instructions to kill Bengalis in 1971 when he was in Dhaka to play a cricket match.

He claimed he had been on the last flight out of Dhaka before the Pakistani army launched an assault on March 25, 1971.

"These ears heard people saying: 'Small and dark. Kill them. Teach them a lesson'," he said. "I heard it with my own ears."

Imran, who was on a cricket tour as an 18-year-old youngster, however did not identify who gave the instructions and to whom.

Now the leader of Pakistani political party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, Imran said he now hears similar instructions within Pakistan.

"It's exactly the same language which I hear this time," he said in the interview, adding that today it is Pashtuns who are ill-treated.

"In Pindi, in Lahore, in Karachi, they've been picked up and thrown into jail because they are Pashtun. This is a sad legacy."


According to media reports, around 30 to 35 million Pashtuns living in Afghanistan and Pakistan are the direct victims of the "war on terror" since 2001, when Pakistan became the partner of the USA in the “war on terror”. The media termed it "Pashtun genocide". Pashtuns want neither Taliban nor the army on their land.

The former cricketer believes if the Pakistani offenders of 1971 had been punished, the Pashtun would not be harassed in Pakistan today.

The magazine says until his visit to Dhaka in 1971, Imran had believed in the Pakistani state propaganda of the time, which painted the rebellion as the work of a few Indian-backed militants.

"That was the first time I realised that there was a separatist movement going on," he said. "We knew nothing about what was going on in East Pakistan."


Around three million people were killed and more than a quarter million women violated during the nine-month bloody Liberation War that started on March 26, 1971.

The Pakistani occupation forces launched a massacre on unarmed civilians at the night of March 25, 1971. More than 10 million people were displaced from the country and became refugees in India.

Thirty-nine years after independence, an International Crimes Tribunal was set up in 2010 to try the Bangladeshi war criminals, who not only opposed the Liberation War to foil the birth of Bangladesh but also actively helped Pakistani army to commit mass killings, genocide and other war crimes.

Seven accused Bangladeshi war criminals have so far been facing charges for crimes committed during the War.

Showdown
The trigger for the current crises is the accusation that the civilian politicians had tried to get U.S. backing for an attempt to purge the Pakistani officer corps of anti-democratic individuals, and reorganize the military so that it is firmly under civilian control. This would cause thousands of senior officers to lower power and money. Many more active and retired officers would lose economic benefits. The military pays lip service to civilian control of the armed forces, but threatens another coup anytime the government tries to interfere with military matters.
This war has been brewing for decades, as the military became more corrupt, greedy and unreliable. While the Pakistani military exists to protect the nation, it has never won a war and actually causes more tension with powerful neighbors, making Pakistan more, not less, at risk of war. For over three decades, the military has, pretty much on its own authority, waged war with India, using Islamic terrorists. The military has taken a growing portion of the national wealth and done nothing to aid economic growth, social welfare or national security. Now, the elected officials, who are also quite corrupt, are confronting the generals. This is risky, as if the military does not agree to submit to civilian control, there could be civil war, or another period of military dictatorship. The senior officers who benefit from this sorry situation find themselves with less support, even within the military, this time around. The lower ranking troops don't do so well economically, and are exposed to family and civilian friends who are increasingly unhappy with the cost (in cash and fear) of the Pakistani armed forces.
Looks like Khan's economic baksheesh is what keeps the military afloat.
India has all but declared victory over Pakistan in disputed Kashmir. Security officials there declared Kashmir safe enough for tourists. Indian tourists have been increasingly common over the past few years, but the "safe for tourists" comments was meant for foreign visitors, who spend a lot more money and used to make Kashmir a very prosperous place. But decades of Pakistani-supported Islamic terrorism in Kashmir destroyed the tourism industry, and much else besides. There is still terrorist violence in Kashmir. Last year, there were 183 terrorist related deaths there. But 63 percent of the dead were terrorists, and only 19 percent were civilians. The year before (2010), there were 375 deaths (72 percent terrorists, 10 percent civilians). But most of the deaths took place in remote parts of Kashmir, near the Pakistan border. Here, the Indian troops have been increasingly successful at stopping Islamic terrorists trying to sneak over from Pakistan. It may take another few years of peace before the foreign tourists flock back to Kashmir, but Indian commanders are confident they can keep their trend going.

Its 18 who meet 72 now.

MULTAN: A homemade bomb exploded on Sunday near a Chehlum procession in the central Pakistani town of Khanpur, killing 18 people and wounding 30, police officials said.

Sunday’s explosion in Khanpur came as mourners were marking the 40th day of mourning the death of Imam Hussain.

The explosion went off as the mourners came out of a mosque, said District Police Chief Sohail Chatta. The bomb appeared to have been planted near an electric pole ahead of time in the path of the procession, he said.

Baloch plight attracts US attention amid tense ties with Pak

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/worl ... 500201.cms
''The United States is deeply concerned about the ongoing violence in Baluchistan, especially targeted killings, disappearances and other human rights abuses,'' spokesperson Victoria Nuland continued, adding that Washington takes the allegations of human rights abuses ''very seriously'' and had discussed these issues with Pakistani officials.

The question from @cadet1081 was provocative, asking the State Department why the United States does not intervene in Baluchistan and help the Baloch achieve freedom. But Nuland was circumspect in her response, noting for now that ''This is a complex issue,'' and Washington strongly believes ''that the best way forward is for all the parties to resolve their differences through peaceful dialogue.'
Free Balochistan !!

Isn't that the same as the complicity of the average Germans who knew about the holocaust by the Nazis and the concentration camps but did not participate in the actual killings? There is an international law about this situation somewhere, I am sure. IK may have just about spoken out of turn here.

Isn't that the same as the complicity of the average Germans who knew about the holocaust by the Nazis and the concentration camps but did not participate in the actual killings? There is an international law about this situation somewhere, I am sure. IK may have just about spoken out of turn here.


Boss, are you naive or what? What the f$%ck is "international law" BS? You think there is any such thing or some such thing exists or is invented only when US & western interests the question? Such BS will be used against Nazis, but when it comes to TSP Nazis like Imran Khan, far from "international law" applying to him, if he suits western interests as he might very well be as a "civilian" face of TSPA/ISI, he might even appear on the cover of cosmpolotin or Vogue or whatever tons of semi-***** magazines you see at a grocery store or newsstand, extolling his good looks and masculinity.

Someone posted this in the previous thread, just making sure it comes through.

For those who understand Hindu/Urdu, this is a MUST watch! This guy really speaks out and paints the TSPA the way it really is, finally for the first time someone has spoken openly.

Please watch this!

Yes and he is not the only one, there are 100,000 of them Paki genociders who India first save from the Bangladeshis lusting for revenge and then let them go practically scot free.

India should have left these savage barbarians in the hand of Bangladeshis who would have butchered them all.

Hakimullah Mehsud reportedly killed in drone strike!
ISLAMABAD: Intercepted militant radio communications indicate the leader of the Pakistani Taliban may have been killed in a recent US drone strike, Pakistani intelligence officials said Sunday. A Taliban official denied that.

The claim that the Pakistani Taliban chief was killed came from officials who said they intercepted a number of Taliban radio conversations.

In about a half a dozen intercepts, the militants discussed whether their chief, Hakimullah Mehsud, was killed on Jan. 12 in the North Waziristan tribal area. Some militants confirmed Mehsud was dead, and one criticized others for talking about the issue over the radio.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to reporters.

Pakistani Taliban spokesman Asimullah Mehsud denied the group’s leader was killed and said he was not in the area where the drone strike occurred.

In early 2010, both Pakistani and American officials said they believed a missile strike had killed Hakimullah Mehsud along the border of North and South Waziristan. They were proved wrong when videos appeared showing him still alive.

One interesting comment he made was. Pakjabis hate Punjabi language and which translates into them hating every one who loves their mother tongue (Sindhi, Baloch & Pashtu). They have inferiority complex with Punjabi language. We should explore this point. Bajwa ji, Surinder ji you guys are much closer to Punjab & culture to dissect this than most of us can you please take a look

Another point was Zardari is a man of his word. He is ready to die rather than compromise. Now the point I remember is MMS once insulted 10% when he met him ( I guess it was SAARC meet) are we betting onn wrong horse.

Paki army surrenders when officers get killed they dont care about hawaldars

About Lawyers movement he says that lawyers are more talibanazied than bearded jihadis.

During the debate with Tharoor pakis had a big takleef abt cement exports Tarek Fateh tells us cement production is monopoly of TSPA same with textile exports to europe & massaland

Bad news...

He could well be assassinated by his rivals in TTP. Drone strike will make him 'martyr'. Anyway, since he was the arch enemy of TSPA, I am not happy to hear he is dead.

I can personally answer this being a Punjabi, the answer is NO. This phenomenon exists with the Pakjabis. Indian Punjabi's are no more of anglophiles than your average Indian.

Anurag ji thanks for reply and apologies if my question came across as asking about Indian Punjabis. I am never wanted to ask that. I wanted some Punjabi to answer why Pakjabis have developed hatered for Punjabi language where as in India its exact opposite we all want to follow Punjabi language & culture.

CRamS, what's your problem?

Really! Can you not indulge in a decent discussion with others without shooting off your mouth first? Although your point was clearly spelled out in the second half of your response, and it almost matches mine, do you have to, at the first get-go, go out of your way in all your opening arguments to convince others that you are a jerk? Can you not accept others' points of view as theirs and state yours, and leave it at that? You seem to have made it your goal in life to get on the wrong side of almost everyone on this fora.

IK is, to my knowledge, the first leading paki politician of that era who has acknowledged knowing about the impending genocide. That is a confession of sorts.

My goodness, a simple comment made in jest gets your goat. Jeez, get a sense of humor. As much as people like you call me a jerk for no reason, there several more on this fora who agree wholeheartedly with me. Thank you very much. International law, my bloody foot. Only abject novices like you will believe that there exists some such thing. A TFTA Nazi like Imran Khan whose hatred is directed against India but against the west will find more favor in US, who is the judge and jury when it comes to so called international law, than an SDRE like you. Get that into your thick skull and then come and argue with me on "international law".

Bomb Targets Shiite Muslims at Service in Pakistan
By DECLAN WALSH
Published: January 15, 2012
"ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — An explosion ripped through a crowd of Shiite Muslims in central Pakistan on Sunday, killing at least 17 people in one of the largest such attacks of recent times in Pakistan’s most populous province.
Police said a bomb in Khanpur, a town in southern Punjab province, targeted Shiites as they streamed out of a mosque after a religious ceremony. The local police chief, Sohail Zaffar Chatta, said the device appeared to have been detonated by remote control.
By early evening 17 people had been confirmed killed and 25 injured, with the toll expected to rise. Television pictures from the scene showed black-clad women mourning over a corpse in the street while men angrily remonstrated before the cameras, beating their chests.
The victims had been marking the chelum — a ceremony commemorating the 40th day after the death anniversary of the Prophet Muhammad’s grandson Imam Hussain, a highly revered figure in Shiite Islam......."
