LONDON - A crew member of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has been detained by British authorities, media has reported.
The authorities at London airport have detained the staffer for carrying a dozen smartphones ( sole bread earner of a large family in Pakiland . Hard to make ends meet with PIA salary !) with him.
The officials of UK Border Agency recovered the smartphones from the PIA staffer during random search, after which he was taken into custody, it was reported.
PIA planes flying FROM Heathrow have acquired a "special reputation" for getting extra scrutiny from UK ( customs, immigration, security, aircraft and food safety, aircraft cleanliness ) officials . Passengers are of course collateral damage in all of these ( flight delays, flight cancellations, etc etc ) . Hardly a week ,without the disgraced airline not making the Paki news - for the wrong reasons . This is another one of these itemsThe staffer, a crew member of PIA flight PK-758, is currently under investigation. The crew member is reportedly cooperating with the authorities.
Prime Minister Imran Khan’s inaugural speech was weak, emotional and self-centric, said analysts on a SAMAA TV panel discussion after the National Assembly session on Friday. They felt that he delivered his address in a reactionary and harsh tone.“Imran Khan has always won the hearts of his upporters, but today he could not face even a small protest in the house. He did not demonstrate any sense of occasion,” said Abdul Moiz Jaferii.“Shah Mehmood Qureshi had to justify Imran Khan’s point of view. Why did Qureshi do that? Imran Khan should have explained things by himself,” he added. He said former PM Nawaz Sharif handled criticism better that his successor. “Nawaz Sharif showed grace when Imran Khan used to criticise him in the past, but today Imran Khan didn’t do that.” Jaferii added that Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s speech was qualitatively better than those by Shehbaz Sharif or Imran.
Instead of being a "hands on" PM ( like Mod-ji ) - as the situation in Pakiland demands,, Imran is likely to be a "hands off" PM , making Parliament appearances as and when he fancies , and let his minions ( like S.M. Qurieshi ) do the explaining for him in his absence !Haider Waheed said Imran played into the opposition’s hands. “Rigging was the point that the opposition wanted to highlight,” he said. “Imran Khan should not have mentioned it in his speech.”Islamabad bureau chief Khalid Azeem said that Shehbaz made Imran play on his pitch. Peshawar bureau chief Tariq Afaq said, “It was not an address by a prime minister, but of a politician who is addressing a protest on top of a container.” quote]quote]Imran’s style of address reflected his past when he led anti-government rallies in Islamabad, Afaq said.“In his first speech, the prime minister should have unveiled his plan, sketching out the next five-year strategy, but he even did not elaborate on the key economic steps he is going to take in the first three months of his premiership.”Afaq added that he felt that Imran has still not come out of a cricketer’s mindset. He said that an early bowling attack will make the batsman defensive.

Last Thursday, Pakistan’s The Nation newspaper published a reckless and unsubstantiated story accusing Wall Street Journal South Asia correspondent Matthew Rosenberg of being a spy. It’s an accusation that gravely endangers Rosenberg’s safety. Wall Street Journal Managing Editor Robert Thomson responded with a scathing letter to The Nation’s editor, Shireen Mazari, expressing his disgust at the publication of the story, which he called baseless and false. He demanded an immediate retraction.
It’s of course deeply disturbing to us at CPJ that a newspaper would publish a story like this that clearly puts the life of a fellow reporter in danger. But we are also concerned about the source for this scurrilous information, someone the reporter identified as “an official of law enforcement agency, who requested anonymity.” Could this be a deliberate government attempt to intimidate Rosenberg and other foreign correspondents working in Pakistan? That’s a deeply chilling possibility that must be investigated.
Pakistan is on the verge of getting a new prime minister, the cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan. Many of the social media accounts linked with the Pakistan Army are presenting the victory of Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) as a new era in the country’s politics, outlined by the emergence of a non-dynastic leadership (similar to what was said about Narendra Modi’s election in 2014) and the breaking up of the clout of the Bhuttos’ Pakistan People’s party (PPP) and Nawaz Sharif’s Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N).
Khan’s victory is certainly not decisive since the PTI has not swept elections in either the Centre or in Punjab province, which represents the core of Pakistan’s politics. The PTI has managed to get 116 seats in the National Assembly against 64 by PML-N and 43 by the PPP. In Punjab, the PTI is behind the PML-N (129) with 123 seats. Khan’s victory comes amidst the uproar by the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan and the European Union election observers that the polls were less fair than in 2013. It is worth mentioning that Khan had acrimoniously contested the last elections as being rigged in favour of the PML-N. Even the PPP and PML-N had claimed in 2013 that elections were rigged. Khan's Big Time Ego will never allow him to say , that his was NOT a clean victory !
Is this the beginning of a new Pakistan that has shunned dynastic politics? No, because the dynastic PPP has gained more seats than it did in 2013, and, as mentioned earlier, the PML-N has not been routed. This indicates that the problem lies less with dynastic politics but in the patronage structure of Pakistan’s political system, in which various parties and even non-parliamentary institutions represent patron groups with their specific clientèle. The biradari factor, IMO
Sad, but the fact remains that the Aam Abduls vote is not decided by the Abdul but by someone else !The patronage structure tends to encourage corruption, which is what Imran Khan claims he wants to fight. However, the question is whether he will be able to embark on this task given that he won these elections by including the “electables” — a term used for candidates who have no ideology and keep shifting from one party to the other.
Despite the problems of the 2018 election, the results also offer the older parties an opportunity to re-think their political outreach strategy. The PML-N has suffered due to its decision-making and party political structure, which is centralised and revolves around the Sharif family. The Maryam and Shahbaaz factor .
Beg to differ but IMO Pakiland does NOT have an "image problem" . The product and /or service is defective, and no one is willing to "buy" it . Plain and simpleNotwithstanding these issues, Khan has emerged as the hope for a younger Pakistan which believes that the country has a serious corruption and image problem.
...Bajwa doctrine, ascribed to the current army chief. Imran Khan’s offer to India in his victory speech to negotiate on Kashmir and willingness to trade is being seen in many quarters as a possible opening. But the door remains as shut, as it was in the past. Khan’s team will have to work out the contours of negotiations with the military establishment that was resentful of trade in the past on the grounds that Nawaz Sharif was more keen to discuss trade than resolving the Kashmir issue. The only difference is that unlike Sharif, Khan would not be in a position or inclined to establish an independent line of communication with New Delhi. He has no option but to do the Army's bidding !
By mainstreaming these Islamists, the Fauj are creating a different breed of snakes in their backyard ( not the TTP species !) And the AAT will also likely bite them in the future . !The foreign policy contours under Khan will denote the status-quo — greater inclination towards China than the US, except that the country’s financial needs may make him want to open some door towards Washington unless someone offers a financial lease of life. A major issue in this regard will be dealing with terrorism and extremism, for which there are limited plans. Although the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)-related Allah-u-Akbar Tehreek (AAT) party did not win any seats, such mainstreaming of violent extremists is a contentious issue as far as the US is concerned.
Islamic Welfare State will require a lot and of moolahs, ( loans in this case !) and is only available in MassalandThe risk is that Khan’s ambition to establish an Islamic welfare state might get muddled somewhere, like Bhutto’s, and produce more religious agenda than welfare.
PESHAWAR: A transgender person was shot dead and her body hacked to pieces on Thursday night, police said on Friday, claiming that they have arrested the suspected killer and his accomplice.
Peshawar in KP Province is governed by Imran Khan's PTI Party .The transgender person, Nazo, was shot dead at her flat and later the body was hacked to pieces, the police told The Express Tribune, adding that they have also recovered the axe and the gun used in the crime.According to the FIR, a Pishtakhara police patrol intercepted a suspect carrying a bag and upon checking they found human body parts in the bag. The suspect, identified as Muhammad Farooq, was taken into custody subsequently.
The suspect told police investigators during an interrogation that his friend Sadaqat had killed Nazo and that he was taking the body parts for burial.
Sadaqat was also arrested who told investigators that Nazo used to be her friend and that he had spent a lot of money on him. However, he killed Nazo after the two got estranged.
. Jalebi,( Human Rights Minister ) should intervene ASAP .The top human rights official in Khyber-Pakhtunkhawa (K-P) took serious notice of the brutal murder and directed all departments to investigate the incident at the earliest. He also directed the police to submit a comprehensive report as soon as possible.
Text should be sent to Madame Jalebi ASAPAn activist of the trans community told The Express Tribune that as many as 62 members of their community have brutality been put to death and in most cases the killers were allowed to go scot-free.
( Like The Recent "False Boast" About Oil Reserves , Larger Than Kuwait Discovered In Pakiland ) A new government in Pakistan does not mean a change in the country’s policy towards India, as our experience of the last 70 years shows. It would be a mistake to believe that under Imran Khan, our relationship could improve meaningfully.
Undue importance should not be attached to statements made for the occasion by Pakistani political or military leaders in favour of peaceful relations and trade to permit focus on shared issues of poverty removal and social welfare. Some circles clutch at such straws in their eagerness to engage with Pakistan and media debates only inflate the importance of sound-good banalities. The coherence of our Pakistan policy suffers.
In his victory address to the nation, Khan said all this and, as expected, some in India saw this as an opening to be explored. That Khan described Kashmir as a core issue that needed resolution before other positives set in, and spoke about the violation of human rights of Kashmiris, has been papered over by pro-Pakistani lobbies here as simply enunciating Pakistan’s standard position. The implication of Khan asking both countries to avoid playing the blame game, India on Kashmir and Pakistan on Baluchistan, has also escaped our soft-on-Pakistan opinion makers. Khan is equating longstanding Pakistani support for terrorism against India with Pakistan’s concocted narrative about India’s activities in Baluchistan. His effort to evade responsibility on terrorism and making the issue reciprocal needs proper understanding: Pakistan wants parity with India even on culpability for terrorism.
The dialogue advocates in India see significance in Khan’s platitudinous remark that if India took one step Pakistan will take two, overlooking also that he plagiarised a Manmohan Singh line. The latter had a credible step by Pakistan on terrorism in mind while Khan wants an unconditional resumption of dialogue with Kashmir at the forefront. Assuming that we take this step, what will Pakistan do? Control terrorism against India, end infiltration, arrest Hafiz Saeed, try those responsible for the Mumbai attacks? Khan is throwing the ball in India’s court for unblocking the current impasse in ties, which implies continuing denial of Pakistan’s involvement in terrorism.
Khan is hardly in a position to make any pathbreaking gesture towards India, be it on terrorism or trade, because the Pakistani military, which engineered his electoral victory, controls policy towards India. Not winning a majority of his own will make him do the military’s bidding all the more. His own Islamist leanings and links with extremist religious groups, especially the Taliban (which earned him the sobriquet of Taliban Khan), are complicating factors. Because of his Taliban links, his Afghanistan policy could make matters worse for us.
The idea floated of inviting all SAARC leaders to Islamabad for Khan’s swearing-in no doubt flowed from Pakistan’s obsession with parity with India: to mark Khan’s (and Pakistan’s) equal political stature with Modi (and India). If India and others were not prepared earlier to attend a SAARC summit in Islamabad it was because of Pakistan’s failure to weed out terrorism from its soil. No change in India’s position is warranted when a military-propped politician with known extremist links has been elected, the jihadi structures in Pakistan remain intact and, indeed, the jihadis are being politically mainstreamed into Pakistan’s polity.
Khan has made no promises to address SAARC’s concerns on terrorism. At our High Commissioner’s call on him, his focus was on resumption of dialogue, the need to resolve the Kashmir issue and human rights violations in Kashmir. That he did not mention trade ties suggests a tightening of his agenda by the Pakistani army. Modi’s gesture in congratulating him even before he took over, the positive sentiments expressed that were appropriate for the occasion, and our diplomatic outreach to him in Islamabad seem enough to remove any impression of cold shouldering him and writing him off even before he took over.
Imran is going to "pump up " the Core Issue in his UN Address next month, probably repeating the same message ( one step, two step BS ) noted above . Then if India does not respond, he will blame India for the statement !!!These positive gestures have been balanced by our spokesperson, who, reinforcing his earlier call to Pakistan to work for a terror-and-violence-free region and thus throwing the ball back in Khan’s court, used the latest US decision to designate three more Pakistanis as international terrorists to draw attention forcefully to Pakistan’s continued support to terrorism. Beyond niceties, agreeing to prematurely to engage Pakistan politically and especially to a SAARC summit without credible moves by Islamabad on the terrorism issue would to hand over the advantage to Khan before he has done anything to deserve it.
Interview: Vikram Sood, Former Head Of India's Foreign Intelligence Agency, R&AW
Vikram Sood is a former head of India's foreign intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing. In an interview to Gautam Datt, Sood throws light into the little known world of intelligence gathering and the current diplomatic issues.
Gautam Datt: The book throws light on the fact that the two major incidents -- the Kargil war and Mumbai attacks -- could have been dealt with in a better way or may even be prevented as there was enough intelligence available to pre-empt the Pakistani moves. Do you think we have learnt from our mistakes and systems are now in place for processing intelligence?
Vikram Sood: Unfortunate events like the Kargil war happen because of a number of reasons and not just because of inadequate intelligence. These events also provide opportunities to correct and improve methods of collection, analysis and communication as well as opportunities to make other systemic changes. The business of intelligence is a process forever looking for ways to improve. It is difficult to comment today from outside the system about the nature and extent of improvement. The media will only know this if, God forbid, there is another similar incident. Governments, however, judge intelligence performances through successes also which must remain undisclosed through prudent choice.
GD:[/b] India's most wanted man Dawood Ibrahim has remained out of reach. Is it the failure of intelligence agencies or lack of clear mandate from the political leadership to launch covert operations to get him?
VS: The absence of evidence does not mean there has been absence of effort.
GD: You have stated that there is no hope for peace with Pakistan but do you see any changes, even remotely, with new government coming up in Islamabad under Imran Khan?
VS: It is far too early to comment on this. Every change in Islamabad generates false hopes among sections in New Delhi. Actually, the real decisions on India, Afghanistan, China, the US and other strategic issues emanate from Rawalpindi and not from Islamabad. Independence on such issues shown by previous political leaders in the past have quickly been stifled by the military establishment. Kargil was one of the many, neither the first nor the last.
GD: R&AW is generally perceived to be locked in games with ISI but how effective is it in dealing with China's intelligence apparatus?
VS: It would be unethical and unprofessional to reveal anything on this. In any case, I am not in the organisation any more to make any meaningful comments. Since intelligence inputs are secret, they cannot by definition be transparent. Dealing with the Chinese intelligence apparatus in India is not the responsibility of the R&AW.
GD: The future of spying is use of new tools like artificial intelligence and social media. Is R&AW on the right path to tap these resources?
VS: Once again, as above.Except that we have to prepare for the future now. In fact the future is here. This will have an immense and far reaching bearing on the game of intelligence. The rules will change. It is not just a game of gizmos but a human being with different capabilities to handle new technologies.
GD: Does the political leadership need to be given some sort of orientation to understand the dynamics of intelligence processing so that they are well armed in decision making?
VS: The political leadership at the very top is usually well aware and discreet. However, sometimes they judge the importance of information by different yardsticks. Equally, perceptions in sections of the media also need to be rectified.
GD: If you can recall the most awkward and the most rewarding moment in your long career as a spy.
VS: It was an ordinary life.

She said it was her passion to promote tourism in Pakistan and fight misrepresentation of the country in the social media.
Ms Beck attracted criticism from local authorities while trying to promote Pakistan’s soft image through her strong social media outreach on Independence Day.
The "toothless" Paki Senate is confined to "discussing" such non - issues , while it should be focusing on deteriorating economic situation, lack of water and electricity etc etc !The Senate Standing Committee on Aviation recently also discussed the Polish tourist’s video.
Members, including Senator Sherry Rehman, criticised the objections over the matter and wondered what was wrong in the video.“We should not make it an issue. There was nothing wrong in it and we should not criticise everything. Even she (tourist) does not need to apologise for promoting Pakistan,” said Ms Rehman.
After graduating from the University of Oxford, ( Immy is a fellow alumni !!) Ms Beck spent five years developing Culture Trip, a London-based travel media start-up that has five million social media fans and over one billion video views.

KASUR: A woman gave birth to a baby in an ambulance after being denied admission to three public health facilities late on Friday near village Wadana on Ferozepur Road.
A few rupees (taking also into account the "inflationary factor !) in the hand of the Kasur and La-Whore Doctors, should have done the trick IMHOAccording to Muhammad Liaqat, father of the newborn, he took his wife first to the Kasur District Headquarters (DHQ) Hospital for labour pains treatment late on Friday. The doctor on duty referred the patient to the Lahore General Hospital because of her critical condition and for want of surgeon in the hospital. He and his wife had to travel to the Lahore hospital with another patient in the ambulance as no other ambulance was available at that time of night.Liaqat, powerloom worker, said that the Lahore General Hospital also refused to admit his wife on a plea the gyne ward was already overcrowded and referred them to the Services Hospital, which also refused to get his wife in.
So, this "poor guy" is literally being given the run - around in Imran's NAYA PAKISTAN !Liaqat again rushed to the Lahore General Hospital and requested the staff to admit his wife but in vain. He said that seeing the deteriorating condition of his wife, he decided to take her to a private hospital in Kasur after contacting an employee there.
Has "someone" not whispered to him, the "cure-all" solution for such problems . Text, phone , or E mail , or a letter ( as a last resort , if he is not tech savvy !) to Saquib Nisar CJP . He will "fix" the problem . In this case, it could be "financial compensation" plus dismissal for the "irresponsible doctors"On way to Kasur, she gave birth to the baby near village Wadana on Ferozpur Road in the ambulance early on Saturday. Liaqat said he felt helpless as well as embarrassed as his sister was with them and he had to handle the delivery in the ambulance in front of his sister. He also said that they spent the entire night moving from one hospital to another but no one was ready to treat his wife in public hospital.
So, HE also knows about the "hard working" CJ of Pakiland !He said he had to spend a hefty amount on the post-delivery treatment. He said though doctors had refused admission to them saying that it was not a normal delivery, the birth, however, was done normally in the ambulance. He said that his wife had been regularly visiting the DHQ Hospital for the last few months but the doctors never told her that the delivery was not normal. He demanded that the chief justice take notice of the situation.

KARACHI – Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has removed Zia Qadir Qureshi as chief operations officer (COO) after terminating his contract with the national flag-carrier
The termination letter of the former PIA COO details that Qureshi was terminated after a bi-annual performance review of his tenure indicated that he had failed to perform his duties to the required standard.
There is no "union" here that is going to "protect" him for this lucrative position . Whoever the "management" is, in this case, they have must have covered all their behinds, and must also have crossed all Ts and dotted all i,sAccording to the PIA, Qureshi did not attend the meeting called for evaluating his performance despite two pleas from the airline’s management – once because of ill health, and on another occasion, on which he failed to provide a reason for his absence.
No need to mention here ( for the record ) but obviously the "hard working" CJP was probably also "consulted" for this "important decision" , in case Zia Qurieshi invokes some "higher sifarish" in his defensePIA also removed its chief financial officer (CFO) from his position on Friday. Nayyar Hayat was removed as CFO and would now conduct a “high-profile audit” ordered by the Supreme Court on May 31, according to PIA’s spokesperson Mashood Tajwar. “Hayat will monitor the special audit and ensure that it complies with the SC’s directives,” the spokesman added.
. The disgraced airline has been under intense scrutiny from many Pakis for "wasting taxpayer monies and taking their passengers for a ride "The Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) is the largest airline services ( by Baki standards !) with more than 30 airplanes (onlee !) for the passengers, and operates 100 flights everyday.
