MUMBAI: US director Steven Spielberg is planning to produce a film set partly on the de facto border between India and Pakistan in the disputed Kashmir region, a report said on Tuesday.
Spielberg, who is currently in India’s entertainment capital Mumbai, told The Times of India that the film would be produced by his DreamWorks Studios and its Indian partner Reliance Entertainment, which is headed by tycoon Anil Ambani.“We have finalised a script for a movie,” Spielberg said. “Part of it will take place on the India-Pakistan border in Kashmir. But we’re still trying to figure out the casting, locations and who’s going to direct it.” On Monday night, Spielberg spoke to a gathering of Indian directors at an event moderated by Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan in Mumbai.Bachchan later said on Twitter that he had “a scintillating evening with Mr Steven Spielberg”, describing the acclaimed director’s comments as “simple, honest and with immense candor”. The 66-year-old is reportedly on his first visit to Mumbai partly to celebrate the success of his film “Lincoln”, which was co-produced by Reliance Entertainment.Spielberg, known for classic hits such as ‘Jaws’, ‘ET’ and ‘Jurassic Park’, was seen by AFP leaving Ambani’s office on Monday afternoon. Reports said billionaire Ambani and his wife Tina were throwing a lavish party in honour of the director during his visit

Obstacles: Report blames Indian hawks for impeding trade with Pakistan
LAHORE:
Some elements within the Indian state organs and other stakeholders are hindering trade between Pakistan and India, an analysis report prepared by a Pakistani intelligence agency revealed.
The two-page report stated that both India and Pakistan are making efforts to normalise their ties by initiating a series of measures both at government and public levels.
However, there is a lack of sincerity on the Indian side and ‘hawkish elements’ in Indian state organs and other stakeholders are not on the same page with their government, it added.
A recent example of this has been the repeated allegations of smuggling of contraband through goods trains from Pakistan to India.
According to the report, as per the existing procedures, it is not possible to smuggle contraband in trains inside Pakistani territory since the wagons are inspected and loaded in the presence of Pakistan Customs and Railways officials. After loading, they are re-inspected and both departments lock the wagons with their own separate seals. Another inspection is carried out at the Wagah railway station.
According to the report, tampering of seals and loading of alleged contraband is manipulated by the Indian mafia supported by agencies between Atari and Amritsar.This fact is further authenticated with the arrest of a rail cargo porter and ASI Ranjit Singh in Amritsar for their involvement in a staged seizure on October 20, 2012.
The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence booked the ASI in connection with the recovery of 23kg of heroin from a Pakistani goods. Porter Puran Singh was arrested after he tried to tamper with the metal and paper seal of the bogey containing the heroin
According to the report, as per the existing procedures, it is not possible to smuggle contraband in trains inside Pakistani territory . . . According to the report, tampering of seals and loading of alleged contraband is manipulated by the Indian mafia . . .

partha, you are a kafir and that is why you are making fun of the Momin. Don't you know that a Muslim, much less a Pakistani Muslim, does not do such things as smuggling narcotics ? It is certainly the Kafir Sikhs and Hindus on the Indian side who smuggle these things within their own country with the intention of giving a bad name to the Momin. Can't you see the conspiracy ?
And, while you are at it, there is no terrorism from Pakistan against India, Kasab was not a Pakistani, there was no genocide in East Pakistan, IC-814 was not hijacked by Pakistanis, 12/13 Parliament attack was not by LeT & JeM but by R&AW Indian agents (because there is no organization called LeT or JeM in Pakistan), all the wars were initiated by kafir Hindus and the Momin won all of them etc.
kish
Meanwhile a normal day in pakistan, just a couple of people got killed here and there.
But, the third link has a letter the editor written by a paki. It contains information which is an insult to izlam.
Are you sure killing two people a normal day? No it is subnormal day or pathetic day in terms of Gazhis work. You are under estimating Paki Ghazis capabilities and you will be fatawaid to be cutlet.

Police claimed to have busted a terrorist gang comprising of children who were allegedly involved in a series of bomb explosions in Quetta on Wednesday.
Capital City Police Officer, Zubair Mehmood said all accused were children and their ages were between 11 to 18 years.
“Police arrested 11 children after an encounter in suburbs of Quetta last night,” Mehmood told a hurriedly called press
conference on Wednesday. He said all teenagers belong to extremely poor and down-trodden families.
He added that eight militants belonging to a Baloch separatists group managed to escape during the operation.
“Arrested teenagers have confessed to involvement in more than one dozen bomb explosions,” Mehmood said.
He said the teenagers were paid between 2000 to 5000 rupees per blast.
The CCPO stated that children were being used by terrorists to carry out terrorist incidents at crowded locations of Quetta city.
He said the children had admitted to their involvement in Mezan Chowk blast, which left more than a dozen people including three frontier corps personnel dead.
Mehmood said police seized anti personnel mines, explosives and other arms and ammunitions from children’s possessions.
At least 12 people lost their lives at Bacha Khan Chowk in Quetta on Jan 10 this year when a bomb went off near a vehicle of the Frontier Corps on the same day that the Alamdar road blast incident took place killing over a hundred people.
The Bacha Khan blast was claimed by the proscribed United Baloch Army as revenge for Mashkay, Awaran and Bolan operations launched by FC.
“There were some 40 to 50 people who hit the man with stones till he bled to death,” a local tribesman told AFP on condition of anonymity.
What a noble way for a muzlim to die! I am sure these 50 people have pleased Arrah, they will get one way ticket to jannat when they die next week either by bomb blast, fidayeen attack or whatever.
Extremism is increasing in the region, including in India, while Islamabad's "proactive policies" had ensured peace in most parts of Pakistan, Interior Minister Rehman Malik claimed today.
"Extremism is increasing even in India and there is a need to combat this menace, threatening peace in the world," Malik said.
when asked about extremism in pakisatan, this joker talks about extremism in India.
Pakistan: Authorities reported that on Saturday a Muslim mob of "thousands" burned about 200 Christian dwellings and 2 churches in Lahore, the capital of Punjab Province and the second largest city in Pakistan. A call for emergency assistance was placed at 0900 local time, but the firefighters arrived at 1500, the newspapers reported.
The rioting ostensibly was sparked when a Muslim barber accused a Christian sanitation worker of blasphemy against Mohammed. The men supposedly were friends, but were drunk on Friday night The next morning the mob formed and burned the Christian community. More than one Pakistani newspaper reported the charge was false and the men had a falling out of money.
The Supreme Court of Pakistan has taken official notice of the incident, and hearings are underway investigating the inaction of the administration. The government announced $2,000 in compensation for each family whose possessions and dwelling were destroyed.
Comment: Pakistanis are not generally this intolerant, but hotheads and zealots use religion to vent other grievances. The criminal blasphemy law encourages settling scores in this fashion.
With apologists like this no wonder TSP gets a free pass in its dirty deeds.
I submit that the mobs would have been enraged even without the blashphemy law for the drunk Pakjabi could always resort to lying to destroy his kaffir friend.
Word on the street is that there is a market nearby and the momeen of the market were eyeing the land.
Remember the case of ex Pakistani ambassador to India (or was he a foreign sec) was beaten with iron rods, killed and his property taken after his servant accused him of being a homosexual/blasphemer? This is just that on a bigger scale.
Accusing people of blasphemy and taking their property is a common occurrence in Pakistan. We can argue whether it is really due to intolerance or is it due to greed or both or religion blessed greed (right hand left had possessions) which totally misses the point.
If you are a minority in Pakistan you will be killed by someone shouting AoA !! and your property taken. Then you can wonder whether it was your property or religion.

Can we do the same to Pakistan? Shout AoA, dispose of Pakis and take Pakistan?

Shout Har Har Mahadev and take back Pakistan. Kill all Hindu Asuras. Islam is nothing but Hindu Asuric Tamas.
Thinking about it, I think the author makes a subtle point and I would tend to agree. Most orchestrated attacks on a big scale are done by sarkar-pasand jihadis or mullahs with an eye on donation collection (I am not talking of one to one attacks). This was among the few rimes when common ordinary momeens united to throw the kuffars out. The society is becoming more pure. AoA!!
The foolish decision of granting of permission to visit India not to mention the hosting of a lunch for the PM of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan by the Congress Party led UPA Administration seems to have been reciprocated with more of the same Pakistani sponsored Mohammadden Terrorism.
Srinagar attack carried out by Mohammadden Terrorists linked to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

Locals in the mostly Shia area opposed the alleged relationship because he was a Sunni Muslim and the woman a Shia.
There was no immediate response from the military.
The BBC's M Ilyas Khan in Islamabad says it is not uncommon for those deemed to be involved in illicit relationships to be shot in Pakistan, but few if any public stonings have been carried out.
In the OPP, people pooled up to Rs3,000 a house in a lane to finance, manage and maintain latrines in their homes, underground sewerage lines in the lanes and secondary sewers.
Also:
18 people were killed in a Rangers operation in Orangi Town earlier today.
With this much Pakistaniat in full flow, methinks Rs3000 a house won't be sufficient to maintain the quantity of latrines required.

I remember from 1980s many indian muslims (and also some christians) would openly distance themselves from their Indian identity. In 20 years we see complete turn around all of those muslims (and christians) and even some pakistani/bangladeshi muslims announce themselves as Indians. Indian identity is kool world wide. Paki/Bagla identify is radio active. My 2 naya paisa.
Everytime there is a pakistan-connected attack, ties are "frozen" (i.e. "we won't play cricket with you"). Then our govt wants to patch things up and we offer carrots (electricity, MFN etc etc) in return for nothing (no MFN.. just the satisfaction that they are "considering" giving us MFN).
Then, the cycle repeats.. with us having to offer more and more in return for nothing. Notice that when ties are "frozen", the carrots aren't rolled back.
Two female tourists from the Czech Republic have been kidnapped in Pakistan's southwestern province of Balochistan, a local government official says.
The incident occurred on Wednesday when unknown gunmen stopped a bus and abducted the women in the Nok Kundi area of Chaghi district, some 550 kilometers (350 miles) west of the provincial capital Quetta.
"Both the women were from Czech Republic and entered in Pakistan as tourists," said provincial Home Secretary Akbar Hussain Durrani.
He added that the armed men also had taken captive a tribal policeman who was guarding the bus but later released him.
No group has claimed responsibility for the kidnapping.
Southwestern and northwestern parts of Pakistan have been hit by violence in recent years.

Rony, SS also posted that. Slightly busy yaar to watch the whole video , can you or SS or any BR comrade point out the key time points where Amanullah Saleh speaks? I skimmed through and couldn't find even one place to catch him
The eventbrite seemed to have been updated with latest dates and the event is apparently sold out. And the logo for this event has pictures of shiny lamp posts. http://musharraf-dubai-dinner.eventbrite.com/
EDIT: don't worry if you have missed out on the "sold out" events, you can still score a "VIP" ticket to receive Tush-a-rough for free.

The next morning the mob formed and burned the Christian community. More than one Pakistani newspaper reported the charge was false and the men had a falling out of money.
