True but the idea has been kept alive by Bakul's process of "rejecting and divorcing" anything that fails to meet the ideal of the elite Turkic/Persian elite Paki being naturally superior to the Hindu and the Afghan for that matter.

India was rejected and divorced in 1947
Bangladesh was rejected and divorced in 1971
Waziristan and Baluchistan have similarly been rejected and partially divorced

There is so much venom there that one can predictably piss off the Paki by mocking his idea of Pakistan.

Sure he is welcome. We should extend every courtesy possible so that he finds his journey comfortable.

Then arrest him and throw him in jail.

Interesting.

It appears to me that it has become inconvenient for Pakistan to allow a brazen criminal to continue to be brazen and are trying to pull him into some form of political legitimacy - no doubt with the intent of doing an equalequal - "You have Modi, we have Saeed"

But was this necessary?

For example, why was it OK for Pakis to pretend that Saeed was "non state actor" previously and why are they gradually pulling him in as "state actor" now?

What has changed? Masood Azhar, also a non state actor, remains non state still AFAIK.

shiv, Pakistanis may attempt to make Hafeez Sayeed 'mainstream', but the attempt cannot succeed. Notwithstanding this Track IV diplomacy by this journalist, India will never allow him to join the 'mainstream'. Even though, we can be sure that large-scale contacts are going behind the scene between Modi & Nawaz Sharif, Hafeez Sayeed will never get recognition from any Indian government. It will be politically suicidal for any Indian PM to do so. He is at the top, after Dawood Ibrahim, in India's most wanted list of terrorists. The UNSC has banned JuD under resolution 1267 and it declared Hafeez Sayeed as a terrorist. Pakistan did not formally ban the organization claiming, as usual perfidiously, that such an action was separately not warranted after the UN had added JuD under its terror list. The US has a bounty of USD 10M on him. JuD is a banned organization in prominent countries. Pakistan cannot rehabilitate him overcoming all these.

For example, why was it OK for Pakis to pretend that Saeed was "non state actor" previously and why are they gradually pulling him in as "state actor" now?

What has changed? Masood Azhar, also a non state actor, remains non state still AFAIK.

We have to understand where Saeed and Masood Azhar come from. Saeed's interaction with the ISI goes a long way back, to c. 1979 when he along with OBL's mentor Abdullah Azzam started Maktab-al-Khidmat to help Arab mujahideen pouring into Pakistan. Gen. Zia was a great admirer of him and appointed him to the CII (Council of Islamic Ideology).

Its parent body of JuD/LeT is Markaz Dawa wa Al-Irshad, MDI (the Centre for Preaching and Guidance.).The aim of Markaz was to reject democracy as a western concept of governance unsuited to and against Islamic principles. It disapproves of all sorts of democratic means of political expression like peaceful protests, demonstrations and sloganeering as un-Islamic. The organisation is also averse to electoral politics in Pakistan. He himself has been very obedient to PA/ISI. These are attributes that the PA liked and continue to like.

As for Masood Azhar, he split from Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM) in c. 2000 after the swap at Kandahar. He was not a leading light in HuM where the emir was (and is) Fazlur Rehman Khalil. HuM was also founded by PA/ISI and is the only jihadi terror organization to be headquartered in Rawalapindi itself. Masood Azhar's JeM was also created by the ISI for two reasons perhaps, one to keep him under control after Kandahar and two to as a counterbalance to HuM. Unlike Hafeez Sayeed, the PA probably will never have complete faith in Masood Azhar. Azhar had organized a campaign against Pakistani troops in Somalia and proudly claims that his efforts led to the death of 24 of them there. He even wrote a booklet on that. But, those were heady days when his friend OBL was ruling the waves. So, PA will always be wary of him.

LeT/JuD is a huge setup while JeM is not though Masood Azhar himself has received considerable largesse from the ISI.

So, the roles are different.

Shopping Secrets of the Taliban revealed

Interestingly, these guys behave like the rich Pakistani upper class people:

Rasheed says he had a large shop in the main market there, selling all manner of cosmetics, socks and stockings, and a few electronic items.

He says he used to earn between 100,000 and 115,000 rupees a day, and that Taliban militants were the biggest spenders. According to Rasheed, they would buy plenty of goods on every visit - and they wouldn't haggle to get prices reduced.

"They used to prefer foreign or branded perfumes and imported body sprays. They liked the ones with a strong scent."

In fact, Rasheed would travel especially to Islamabad and Lahore in order to procure the kind of imported merchandise the Taliban preferred.

"They didn't like Pakistani products ," he says.

Another shopkeeper from Miranshah, Sohail Masih, a tailor, confirms that the Taliban would invariably be the best customers in the market, spending 2,000 to 3,000 rupees at a time - for many people that would be two weeks' salary.

"They would drive to my shop in big white cars with black-tinted windows and had no qualms about doling out wads of cash," he says.

"The kind of things they would buy, well people like me can't even conceive of buying them.

Wonder where all that cash is coming from...

The Plot Unravels :

Ramdev's aide meets LeT founder Hafiz Saeed, 'discusses' Modi; ruckus in Parliament over meeting

NEW DELHI : The opposition in Rajya Sabha on Monday forced the Upper House to adjourn twice over the meeting of a journalist and associate of yoga guru Ramdev with the terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) founder and mastermind of the 26/11 Mumbai carnage, Hafiz Saeed, in Pakistan.

Members of Congress, BSP and other opposition parties wanted the government to clarify the motive behind journalist Ved Pratap Vaidik's meeting with Saeed.

Though the government clarified that it had nothing to do with the meeting, the opposition members did not relent, forcing the House to first adjourn for 15 minutes and later till 12 in the afternoon.

Vaidik had reportedly met India's most wanted terrorist Hafiz Saeed in Lahore and had an hour long chat with him on July 2.

"Hafiz Saeed asked me about (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi. He said Modi is dangerous and now he has become the Prime Minister of India. He said that Modi is dangerous for the whole of South Asia. I said that his thinking is not right. There is no need to fear Modi," media reports said, quoting Vaidik on his chat with the LeT founder.

Vaidik told media that he had met Saeed as a journalist.

Referring to the meeting, Congress members sought explanation from the government and did not let the Upper House function for almost an hour. They wanted to know from the government whether the meeting had an official sanction.

I am sure VP Vaidik tried to change Hafeez Saeed heart, VP Vaidik is a journalist and he can meet anyone : Baba Ramdev

BSP chief Mayawati too demanded a probe on why Vaidik met Saeed.

Cheers

Ved Pratap Vaidik should invite HS to visit India and also while is at it, perhaps he could invite Dawood.

Unwanted controversy. What did Vaidik achieve by meeting Hafeez Saeed other than giving opposition some ammunition to go at the government . Some have claimed he may have met Saeed to convey intelligence bureau's message. Now why would IB/RAW send him a message so publicly that too through a journalist not exactly known to be mealy mouthed ? This was probably Vaidik's own bright idea through his paki journalist friends which has now backfired spectacularly.

The usual suspects in India have changed their tune from calling HS as Shri HS to showing anger at Vaidik meeting HS. The RS tamasha is the sideshow, the real show is why is HS meeting kafir Vaidik?

Followers of one Abrahamic religion (Christism), flee religious persecution from a country (Islamic Republic Of Pakistan) ruled by followers of another Abrahamic religion (Mohammaddenism) and seek refuge in a country (Thailand) ruled by followers of a Dharmic Religion (Buddhism).

Followers of Abrahamic religions it would seem :

1.See nothing wrong in persecuting the follower of another Abrahamic religion.

2.Place greater faith in escaping religious persecution in Dharmic lands rather than in lands governed by fellow Abrahamics.

This lady is inviting a bull cutlet. basically TFTA land scam. Having occupied lands of the British Raj (the occupation itself being on shady legal ground), they "rent" it out to farmers (who have no occupancy rights) and then squeeze these farmers for money and kill those who dont pay.

http://www.nation.com.pk/columns/15-Jul ... -palestine

Okara, the little Palestine?

A big swath of land in Okara and some adjoining districts was leased out to the British Indian Army, which was to be used for stud farming and horse breeding. The way British doled and leased this land out in the early 20th century laid the foundations of a patronage network that was established to keep the landed elite loyal to the interests of the rulers. The lease agreement in 1913 was signed for twenty years only expiring in 1934 after which the tenants were to get ownership rights.....In Okara and Renala Khurd, more than 17,000 acres of this land was now governed by military run Okara Military Farms (OMF).

Under the battai crop sharing system, the farmer who tills the land gets 50% of the produce while the owner of the land gets the other 50% in lieu of providing seed, fertilizers and other agricultural inputs. The farmers – the Mazaraeen or tenants – had been tilling these lands since several generations up to 2000 under the same sharing formula....In 2000, the military changed the nature of the lease in a surprise move. According to the new arrangement, the tenants would pay an annual rent thereby turning to contracted labor with no occupancy rights.

As per the account of some farmers, they had to face the worst kind of torture at the hands of military. According to Mohammad Iqbal, a farmer at OMF, who was interviewed in 2003 by HRW, he and others were produced before one Major Tahir Malik who asked them to make the payments, which they refused. Following this, they were taken to the torture cell and thrashed with a leather whip. There are other accounts of torture, kidnap and even killings.

On July 3, the Rangers responded with indiscriminate firing on the farmers that claimed two lives. According to a police official, the paramilitary force took away the bodies and a dozen farmers in their custody. The farmers were refused the dead bodies unless they agreed they would not register the case with law enforcing agencies. The dead, along with the kidnapped farmers were returned after three days.

Something fishy guys about this meeting between the pigLeT and this Vaidik guy. Even assuming it was private journalist meeting a terrorist, it would have made sense if Vaidik asked the right questions, drew the expected response, exposed him as nothing but a TSPA/ISI puppeteer, and educated Indians on the vileness of this pig. Instead, it was a clear cut WKK exercise, with Vaidik declaring that the pigLeT is someone to talk to. I hope Modi and Doval have nothing to do with this. They need to be sincere and convincing in declaring so, or else this scandal will be another albatross around Modi's neck.

Interesting. Vaidik is part of Vivekananda Foundation, think tank headed by Ajit Doval but comes across as an idiot on TV. Am I missing something here?

Ved Prakash Vaidik’s association regards which end of the political spectrum he is closer to is far from clear cut.

Vaidik himself claims to be closer to the Congress Party rather than either the RSS or BJP:

“I feel bad about this because I have worked with Congress. They are my brothers, my own people,” Vaidik said.

Tearing into the baseless allegations by ‘secular media’ that Vaidik is close to RSS, he himself steered clear, “I have no relation with RSS. I am closer to Congress than BJP.”

Vaidik close to Sonia-Rahul ideologically

RSS seems to have distanced itself from this buffoon - looks like Vaidik was seeking the V1agra of attention that he left behind when he left the media. I get the feeling that the nincompoop expected to be considered some kind of hero and did not expect the all round hostile reaction he got.

Congress Party Crown Prince Rahul Gandhi says Ved Prakash Vaidik is an RSS member.

Vaidik says he has never ever been an RSS member.

Ram Madhav backs Vaidik’s version saying no RSS member would roam around with Congress Party members Mani Shankar Aiyar and Salman Khurshid

.

Methinks the Congress Party’s attempt to paint Vaidik’s criminally idiotic meeting with UN designated Islamic Terrorist Hafiz Mohammad Saeed as being at the behest of the BJP Administration of PM Narender Modi has gone down in flames:

"Ya he is an RSS man. That's a known fact," Gandhi said to a question about Vaidik, a close aide of yoga guru Ramdev.

Vaidik, who has come under attack after his meeting with Saeed in Lahore on July 2 while touring Pakistan, denied he is an RSS man.

"Not even for one day I have been a member of RSS. Let him(Rahul) say whatever he likes," he said.

RSS leader Ram Madhav, who recently joined BJP, asserted that Vaidik has no relation with RSS, saying a person roaming around with Congress leaders is not from the Sangh fountainhead.

"Vaidik saab has no relation with RSS. The person who roams around with Mani Shankar Aiyer and Salman Khurshid is not from RSS," he said.
