Mr. Khan also said he will not be staying in the sprawling Prime Minister House but in the military secretary’s three-bedroom house.

India wants constructive engagement with Pakistan, PM Modi tells Imran Khan

India looking for constructive and meaningful engagement, Prime Minister Narendra Modi told his Pakistani counterpart, newly-elected Imran Khan.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has sent a letter to his newly elected Pakistani counterpart Imran Khan, conveying New Delhi’s commitment to build good neighbourly relations and pursue constructive and meaningful engagement, people familiar with the development said on Monday.

Modi sent the letter to Khan on Saturday, the day the cricketer-turned-politician was sworn in as Pakistan’s 22nd premier. At his first news conference on Monday, Pakistan’s foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi acknowledged the letter was received on Sunday.

Qureshi called for a “continued, uninterrupted dialogue” and appeared to imply that India had made an offer of dialogue to Khan. He said that Modi “has sent a message about starting the path of dialogue”, which he described as “a very positive thing”.

Both sides issued clarifications later in the day that Modi’s letter was limited to “constructive engagement”.

“Prime Minister Modi expressed India’s commitment to build good neighbourly relations between India and Pakistan and pursue meaningful and constructive engagement for the benefit of the people,” an Indian government official said in New Delhi after Qureshi’s news conference.

Pakistan’s Foreign Office spokesman said the letter mentioned the “way forward was only through constructive engagement”.

In the letter, Modi recalled his phone call with Khan in which they spoke of their “shared vision to bring peace, security and prosperity on the Indian subcontinent in order to make it free of terror and violence and to focus on development”, said the Indian official quoted above.

Qureshi said he will work for better relations and bridging the trust deficit with all neighbours, including India and Afghanistan.

Referring to India, Qureshi said: “We need a continued, uninterrupted dialogue, which is the path of wisdom.”
À La MSA! He said his message to his Indian counterpart would be that “we are not just neighbours, but we are atomic powers with many problems…in my opinion, there is no other solution but dialogue.”

He added, “We cannot afford any accidental adventurism, when the reaction time is so limited. Knowing the difficulties, the complex problems and even if there is no easy or quick solutions, we have to engage.”

Referring to Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s 1999 visit to Islamabad and Lahore, Qureshi said the late prime minister had accepted the “reality of Pakistan and said we have problems, of which Kashmir is a part”.

Qureshi’s remarks built on Khan’s offer to India last month that Pakistan is ready to respond positively to any peace effort. “If India takes one step toward us, we will take two,” Khan had said. REALLY?

The neighbours have been struggling to normalise their ties, with India pegging the resumption of dialogue to Pakistan clamping down on terror groups operating from its territory. Afghanistan has also accused Pakistan of supporting Taliban militants fighting the Indian- and Western-backed government in Kabul. Pakistan denies aiding insurgent groups in Kashmir and Afghanistan.

However, Pakistani security policy is largely determined by the military and not the civilian government. The previous government led by Nawaz Sharif sought better ties with India and hopes soared following Modi’s surprise visit to Lahore in December 2015, the first such trip by an Indian prime minister in more than a decade. But the hopes dashed weeks later when militants attacked Pathankot airbase in Punjab.

Qureshi, who served as foreign minister in the previous Pakistan Peoples Party government during 2008-11, said his ministry will be in charge of foreign policy but will take advice from “national security institutions”.

Strategic affairs expert Brahma Chellany cautioned that all indicators “after Pakistan’s military-engineered election point to a hardline policy toward India”.

“The military has emerged stronger, with Imran’s cabinet packed with figures who served in Gen Pervez Musharraf’s military regime. Imran has reduced himself to a puppet of the military, with his cabinet looking like a Musharraf 2 team. In this situation, India needs to be vigilant against potential Pakistani efforts to stage major cross-border and terrorist attacks,” Chellany said.

( Ripley's ?) Believe It Or Not, Some Want To Kill The Kaptaan :roll:

10 Afghan terrorists arrested from Banigala, target was PM Imran Khan: report

The attached details in the farticle, at least IMO appears to pure BS

-Once ISI Asset Journo Hamid Mir appears to be a source of a report , which claims that Imran's life is in danger from Afghan "terrorists"
- That the Military has "no option" but to ask Immy to move to Isloo and "share" a house with the Military Secretary and vacate Bani Gala
- IMO, a "legend" is now being developed around the Kaptaan ( Pakiland has now "elected" a "strong" leader. Paki equivalent to India's Modi. And it is the "sacred duty" of the Army to protect him, from "all enemies" of Pakistan . Imran is going to set things right . And he is going to "solve" all domestic and foreign problems ASAP :twisted: ) The pictures of a "jogging Imran", and his first TV address to the Paki Nation, can be looked at, in this context !

PS : And the Kaptaan is also "deluding" himself . He sincerely believes that he won "fair and square" :mrgreen:

FM Qureishi Gets Nasty With A Foreign Journo .

Don't the CIA, Pentagon give input for US foreign policy, Shah Mehmood snubs foreign journalist over sarcastic question
Aug 20, 2018
ISLAMABAD – Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi stressed on Monday that Pakistan’s interests are the first priority as the foreign policy will begin and end at the country.
Speaking at his maiden press conference in Islamabad, Qureshi maintained that Pakistan is facing immense challenges and the government is determined for development. :((
Qureshi declared that he would consult with Foreign Secretary Tehmina Janjua and also the former foreign ministers Hina Rabbani Khar and Khawaja Asif for their suggestions on foreign policy especially the forthcoming session of the UN General Assembly.
India has rejected Qureshi's claim that Modi-ji "offered talks" in his letter to Imran !
Replying to a query, Qureshi categorically said, “There are pre-conceived notions about where the foreign policy of Pakistan is made. Let me be clear: The foreign policy will be made here at the Foreign Office.” :mrgreen:
“Don’t you seek input from CIA and Pentagon? I am aware of their working and I will work for the betterment of Pakistan,” Qureshi told a foreign journalist who raised a question on the alleged interference of other institutions in formulation of foreign policy.
Just two weeks ago, his cabinet colleague ( Asad Umer ) made some pointed remarks to Pompeo about USA debt to China . Make sure that these kind of words do not come back to bite you !!!

https://www.dawn.com/news/1428288/ugly-truths-exposed
UGLY TRUTHS EXPOSED (duh!)
IT was over a decade ago that I first heard about sex grooming gangs. Through a report on Channel 4 News, I learned how young men of Pakistani origin were sexually exploiting vulnerable, under-age white girls after plying them with cigarettes, alcohol and gifts.

I was offended by the use of “Pakistanis” and “Muslims”, believing that it was wrong for a mainstream broadcaster to narrow down so much on a group of people based on their country of origin or religion. In my view, Channel 4 News should have concentrated on reporting child sex grooming as any other crime.
Don't Pakistanis wear their Muslimness on their sleeves?
According to a study conducted by the Quilliam Foundation, an anti-extremism think tank, 84 per cent of all those convicted of child sex grooming since 2005 have been Asian; the majority were of Pakistani heritage. Quilliam’s researchers found that 264 people have been convicted for the specific crime of gang grooming since 2005; 222 of them were Asian.
When you try to discuss this with a community leader, you encounter a wall of silence: “Should we really talk about it when there are so many other negative headlines around?” I was asked in Sheffield. “This will be exploited by the far right and bring a bad name to the community.
It is always an "image" problem.
Adil Khan, 42, a taxi driver originally from Sehnsa in Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK), was found guilty of trafficking and conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with a child. He came to Rochdale from Kashmir with his wife in 1997 and had a sexual relationship with a young girl just a few weeks after the birth of his first child. The court heard that he made a 15-year-old girl pregnant, then passed another girl of the same age on to other men for sex, threatening her with violence. Jo POK mein gandu, woh Londonistan mein bhe gandu.

Abdul Aziz, 41, another taxi driver from Panyam, Chakswari in AJK, and father of three, was cleared of two counts of rape but convicted of trafficking for sexual exploitation. Jo POK mein gandu, woh Londonistan mein bhe gandu.

Qari Abdul Rauf, 43, father of five from AJK was convicted of trafficking a child within the UK for sexual exploitation. The former religious studies teacher at a Rochdale mosque said he was deeply religious. :rotfl: Jo POK mein gandu, woh Londonistan mein bhe gandu.

Shabbir Ahmed, 63, the ringleader, was not amongst those who appealed against the Home Office’s decision to strip them of British nationality. The three-times married, father of four, first came to Britain from Pakistan in 1967 when he was 14 years old.
These powers were initially used to strip those accused of terrorism of their British citizenship but later extended to cover child sex grooming convicts. This shows not only the severity being attached by the government to this offence but also the public mood towards the perpetrators.
Oh, so this is just the public mood towards the perpetrators! I guess the book condones these perverts actions and they don't see the enormity of their crime.

Questioning Nehru’s country
This NRP, Jawed Naqvi is another Lootians author
ALMOST all my friends have praised Mulk (country) as a bold movie. I am still debating its purpose. The youngest nephew of Muslim patriarch Murad Ali Mohammed of a Benares neighbourhood gets involved in a bomb blast massacre.
The problem with Mulk is that it sends out a misleading message — that had it not been for a deviant act of terrorism, any Muslim family could live peacefully in the protection of their idyllic Hindu neighbours. Why is there no reference to the fascist state the country is becoming? Why did the boy become a terrorist? Why was the young man, the young terrorist, angry? No jobs? Police atrocities? Ayodhya? Gujarat? Kashmir? Or did he have messianic visions of leading his people to impossible victory? Or was it to win brownie points in the next life? Can I make some guesses? The world has been pondering upon this from 632 AD.

In March 2016 we gave the man below, Sheikh Rasheed - who used to run a Jihadi camp to train anti India terrorists - a visa to come and watch the cricket. Something is clearly wrong when it comes to the decision making process for such things.

i am guessing that visas are deliberately handled at the lower levels and the widespread deep state baboo(n)s in several ministries notably in home, finance and external affairs is pushing a widespread "embarrass the Modi govt" agenda that is getting more brazen by the day as the 2019 elections get nearer. Plausible deniability seems to be the name of the game.

Sensitive clearances and specific countries should necessarily have an intelligence agency component built right into in the visa approval process.

Losing China-backed projects positive for Malaysia: report - Edward White

Malaysia’s threat to cancel a suite of Chinese-backed infrastructure projects could ultimately be positive for the south-east Asian country’s economy despite probably slowing the pace of headline growth, according to one economist.

Malaysia’s new prime minister Mahathir Mohamad has promised to review all Chinese projects and renegotiate any “unequal treaties”. This move has threatened to destroy the image of Malaysia as a key pillar of Chinese president Xi Jinping’s Belt and Road initiative.

“If the projects are cancelled, investment growth would drop sharply, and GDP growth would likely slow. But cancelling the projects may actually be in Malaysia’s best interests,” said Alex Holmes, Asia economist for Capital Economics, in a research note on Monday.

Mr Holmes said that because the Malaysian economy was already growing at respectable year-on-year pace of 5.4 per cent in the first quarter, the additional investments from China “could have caused the economy to overheat, leading to a rise in inflation”.

The proposed Chinese investments, which included ports and rail projects, could also lead to the country being “saddled with bad debts”, weighing on an already-poor fiscal situation, he said.

And he added: “some of these projects are of dubious economic value. Malaysia already has good infrastructure, equivalent to what you’d expect in a developed economy, and much better than countries at a similar income level.”

Imran Khan defends Sidhu, stresses need for Pak-India dialogue

Navjyot Presenting Siropa to Imran

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday called former Indian cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu ambassador of peace and said those who are targeting him for visiting Pakistan are doing great disservice to peace in the subcontinet.

"I want to thank Sidhu for coming to Pakistan for my oath taking. He was an ambassador of peace & was given amazing love & affection by ppl of Pakistan. Those in India who targeted him are doing a gt disservice to peace in the subcontinent," he said in Tweet.

Stressing the need for dialogue between the two countries, he said without peace people of Pakistan and India could not progress. It is Terroristani Terrorists Killing Indians. The Terroristani Defence Forces in General and the Terroristani Army in Partcular will NEVER ALLOW PEACE TO REIGN BETWEEN INDIA AND TERRORISTAN as if there is Peace between the Two Countries than the ~Terroristani Defence Establishment looses its Raisin Dieter i.e. Raison D'être to have such a Huge Armed Force which consumes possibly 35%, if not more - of the Total Terroristai Budget!

"To move forward Pakistan and India must dialogue and resolve their conflicts including Kashmir," he said. Jinnah - the QEA of Terroristan - Ordered theTerroristani Army with Tribal Terrorist to Invade the Independent State of Jammu & Kashmir and as such Terroristan must withdraw and hand over POK to India!

There needs to be some debunking or response to Imran's crap, right now he is getting away with pretending that he and the TSP are making peace overtures and India is being obstinate. A simple recap of pending action against known terrorists, recent infiltration attempts and terror attacks, will be more than enough.

chetak Ji :

IMO Siddhu has been urged by those of the Sickular Lootanians' Brigade who are now "keeping" quiet and letting Siddhu take he Flack.

Siddhu should have followed Kapil Dev's and Gavaskar's not visiting Imran in the present prevailing situation. He has possibly been involved with the Khalistanis who arranged for a Siropa - which is always from a Gurudwara - being presented to Imran.

NaPakis are feeling the pain of Mr. Modi/Mr. Doval's policies. They are weaker at this point and will come back to their normal behavior once they do a bit better. They have no shame or self-respect. We must not give them time to re-group or re-strength, it is their deception policy since their existence. Every time we won the war but still, we never negotiate with them on strong n rigid lines. We always gave them a face-saver or benefit of being a smaller nation but they never did n will do any good for India. Let them suffer or demand from them to hand over PoK to India to end the Kashmir issue between two nations.

There is no more Sidhu style hug n kiss stupid policy while they are hiding khanjar in their hands behind our back and ready to stab us on getting the first opportunity. It is not only applicable to India, the USA is another living example of it.

Peregrine saar,

That has always been my deep suspicions about siddhu, that he is a closet khalistani.

His dalliances with khujliwal and the aap aroused even more doubts in me but I hesitated to voice it.

siddhu is now claiming that he was overcome with a fit of emotion while hugging the paki army chief. The Armed Forces types in the punjab have reacted quite vehemently against the hug and they are in huge numbers there.

here is siddhu's carefully contrived and after thought out BS.

Hugged Pakistan Army chief in an 'emotional' moment: Navjot Singh Sidhu
On his meeting with Gen Bajwa, Sidhu said, "I again want to make it clear that this meeting took place in Islamabad at a time when Gen Bajwa reached the venue of swearing-in ceremony."

"He met me with enthusiasm after seeing me sitting in the first row. Immediately, he told me that they were making efforts to open the corridor from India's Dera Baba Nanak to Kartarpur Sahib, which is about 3 to 3. 5 km in Pakistan, to facilitate the pilgrims to pay obeisance on the occasion of 550th 'Prakash Diwas' of Guru Nanak Dev ji."

ALSO READ: Navjot Singh Sidhu defends hugging Pakistan Army Chief, CM Amarinder says not a nice gesture

The Congress leader claimed that crores of pilgrims have always been waiting to pay obeisance at holy Kartarpur Sahib, the place where Guru Nanak Devi ji spent nearly 18 years of his life.

"Without a thought, this thing said by Gen Bajwa was an emotional moment for me and the result (the hug) was for everyone to see. After that brief meeting in the gathering, I had no meeting with Gen Bajwa," he said.

Sidhu said, he, however, is disappointed and hurt over the criticism over this sudden meeting and "emotional reaction".
The grim reality of siddhu's serious predicament has only now dawned on him with all the top congis keeping very quiet and no one publicly supporting siddhu.

Pakistan to pay $9.3b in external debt servicing - Shahbaz Rana

ISLAMABAD: The caretaker government, during its brief two-and-a-half-month tenure, estimated that Pakistan’s overall external debt servicing obligation would be $9.3 billion in the current fiscal year, which was slightly less than the gross official foreign currency reserves held by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP).

The $9.3-billion external debt repayment and servicing requirement underscores the challenges the new Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government will face in arranging funds to meet the obligation.

Pakistan’s debt, liabilities swell 83% to Rs30 Trillion = US$ 240 Billion

Debt-related financing requirements have been shown in the “stabilisation and economic growth policy recommendation paper”, prepared by the former interim finance minister Dr Shamshad Akhtar-led finance ministry.

The report was submitted to the caretaker prime minister with a request to pass it on to the new government.

The report showed that Pakistan would require $9.3 billion to meet its debt-related obligations in fiscal year 2018-19, including repayments to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). It put interest payment on external debt at $1 billion in the first half of the fiscal year.

The $9.3-billion debt-related requirements are slightly lower than $10.2 billion worth of foreign currency reserves held by the central bank.

Current account deficit

It seems that the PTI government will have no option but to retire the external debt by contracting new debt, at least in its first year in power.

However, the caretaker government projected the overall gross financing requirements (external debt servicing and current account deficit) at $25-26 billion, which appeared to be on the downward side. It estimated the current account deficit in the range of $15-16 billion.

The current account deficit in July widened to $2.2 billion, higher by 14% over the same month of last year, the SBP reported on Monday. If corrective measures are not taken, the deficit will jump above $25 billion at the current pace. In its report, the caretaker government projected $4 billion in current account deficit in the first quarter and another $3.2 billion in the second quarter of the current fiscal year.

These projections suggest that the finance ministry did not reflect a true picture of the external sector, which often results in unnecessary pressure on the foreign currency reserves.

External sector challenges

Finance Minister Asad Umar on Monday assumed his responsibilities and held the first formal meeting with ministry officials. He is said to have conveyed the finance secretary his reservations about the quality of human resources in the ministry, said sources.

In addition to finding a solution to the mounting external sector challenges, the finance minister will have to build a credible and competent team.

The interim setup’s report primarily presents two scenarios to deal with the external sector situation. Its first scenario shows harsh policy measures like 8% depreciation of the rupee, 2% increase in the policy interest rate and fiscal adjustment of 1.6% of gross domestic product (GDP) to avoid IMF bailout.

Almost the entire adjustment has been recommended to be made by cutting the development budget from Rs850 billion to Rs350 billion only.

The report also indicated possible size of the IMF programme which it noted would depend on Pakistan’s quota, which could be raised up to 500% or $14 billion.

Pakistan has already got $6.5 billion and it can receive only the remaining $7.5 billion, showed the report.

A steep cut of Rs500 billion in development spending in one year would slow the pace of economic growth to only 3.5% and unemployment rate would jump to 9.5%, said former finance minister Dr Hafiz Pasha.

The PTI government has promised to create 10 million jobs in five years and the cut in public sector spending will make it tough to achieve the goal.

Pasha said instead of massively scaling back development spending, the new government could raise import tariffs to a maximum 30% from the current highest slab of 20%. “This will generate Rs250 billion in tax revenues as well as restrict the import bill,” he said.

Pasha suggested that the government could generate another Rs100 billion in tax revenues by enhancing income tax rates.

He opposed the idea of slapping wealth tax on corporations and the stock market, suggesting limiting the wealth tax to only individuals.

He said the development budget may be slashed by only Rs150 billion, adding all these measures would create fiscal space of about Rs500 billion.

The caretaker government’s second scenario suggests increasing the tax collection target to Rs4.9 trillion. But Pasha said increasing tax collection by over 32% in one year would be highly impossible due to capacity constraints faced by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR).

This is the honeymoon phase. I'm the dim's verbal diarrhea is all extempore, without any script, meant for the masses. In my opinion, we should let him voice his "thoughtless opinions" for a while. Let him say things that he would regret later. Give him enough rope to hang himself. This weekend I learned from a couple of well off pushtoons that the dimwit has a reputation of having a loose tongue which has often got him into trouble with the powers to be (hint hint).

By the way the pushtoons from Mard'an and Piss-hour do not consider him a true pushtoon. He is from Mianwali.

Terroristan - July 27, 2018

Post by Peregrine »

Folks - This is the Result of One of India's First Step with Man Mohan Singh as Prime Minister!: IT LED TO THE PATHANKOT DISASTER!

Times of India of May 17, 2016, 02:12 IST

UPA had freed Pathankot handler as ‘goodwill gesture’

NEW DELHI: This was one "goodwill gesture" which spectacularly boomeranged on the UPA government. Jaish-e-Muhammed (JeM) terrorist Shahid Latif, chief handler of the fidayeen squad that attacked the Pathankot airbase in January, was released by India in 2010 as part of the Manmohan Singh government's effort to repair ties with Pakistan.

High-level sources told TOI that 47-year-old Latif, who was in an Indian jail for 11 years for acts of terrorism, was among 25 militants belonging to Lashkar-e-Taiba, Hizb-ul-Mujahideen and JeM who were freed on May 28, 2010, as part of the Centre's outreach to the hostile neighbour. They were lodged in jails in Jammu, Srinagar, Agra, Varanasi, Naini (UP) and Tihar, and were deported to Pakistan through Wagah.

Interestingly, Latif's release was sought by the same Jaish terrorists who had hijacked Indian Airlines flight IC-814 and managed to get their chief, Maulana Masood Azhar, freed along with two others in exchange for 154 passengers in December 1999. However, the then Vajpayee government had refused to release Latif and 31 others on Jaish's "wish list". Latif acts as main handler of JeM terrorists in India

In 1999, the NDA government freed Mushtaq Ahmad Zargar and Omar Sheikh, an alumnus of London School of Economics who courted further notoriety by kidnapping and killing American journalist Daniel Pearl.

The AI hijack plot was conceived and executed with the support of ISI. However, what the Pakistani spy agency and its terrorist proxies could not accomplish by taking innocent passengers hostage, they managed to achieve by guile — by persuading the Manmohan Singh government that the release of Pakistanis detained in Indian jails on terror charges would be received well with their constituents and help create a conducive atmosphere for rapprochement.

In the wake of the IC-814 hijacking and the attack on Parliament in 2001 by a Jaish module, Latif was shifted from a prison in J&K to Varanasi central jail in 2002 because of the assessment that his comrades could make another effort to free him.

A resident of More in Aminabad town of Gujranwala in Pakistan, Latif, according to sources in intelligence agencies, is considered very close to Masood Azhar and plays an important role in the Jaish hierarchy as he heads the Sialkot region and is the main handler, launching JeM cadres into India.

Latif is wanted by NIA as the 'handler' of the four fidayeen — identified as Nasir Hussain, Hafiz Abu Bakar, Umar Farooq and Abdul Qayum, residents of Punjab and Sindh districts of Pakistan — who stormed Pathankot airbase on January 2. Sources said Latif arranged the weapons, clothes and shoes of the jihadis apart from SOS injections and medicines, food packets and other logistics.

Meanwhile, the NIA approached Pakistan three days ago through a letter rogatory (LR) asking it to provide DNA samples of family members of the four fidayeen and JeM members, including Latif, involved in the attack. Apart from Latif, Kashif Jaan and Abdul Rauf (Masood Azhar's brother) have been identified as co-planners of the attack. This is the second LR sent by NIA to Pakistan in the last five months seeking assistance.

anupmisra Ji :

For reasons I cannot fathom Buddhist, Hindus, Jains and Sikhs have never retaliated against Muslims for the Slaughter by Muslim Leaders as well as Muslim people perpetrated on them.

In addition a sizable number of Muslim Leaders - even in India - are still totally ANTI Non-Muslims. The Hindus and other Non-Muslims have suffered and carried on to a better future but the Muslims are still mired in the "HATRED FOR NON-MUSLIMS".

In my opinion the Hindus-Sikhs and Jains have put aside their pain of having their near and dear ones suffering at the hands of the Muslim Slaughterers and are getting on with their lives by improving themselves.

The Muslims of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand etc. etc. have Hatred for Non-Muslims embedded in them and this hatred is regularly stoked by the Mullahs during their Religious Sermons.

In addition - in India - we have the Sickular and Lootinians Brigade. No Muslim Country is weighed down by a similar Dead Weight!

I will probably go out of topic here.

My opinion is that our historically servile character coupled with a blind faith that the other side will also have the same norms of fair play has led the once proud Vedic people to this critical juncture. I need not elaborate on this. I know many here will not agree with the above statement.

The past 70 years of treating toiletistan as a temporarily separated wayward "younger" brother has not helped either. Our collective memory is weak and selective.

August 14th in India should be celebrated as a "Good Riddance" day with a 31-gun salute.

Just my Rs. 1.40 opinion.

Here you go. More entitlements from the self-entitled people.

Sarfraz wants to do Salman-type role in a film opposite Katrina Kaif
Pakistan cricket team captain Sarfraz Ahmed said in an interview that he would like to act in a film if he is given a role (not when?), which is usually given to Indian super star Salman Khan, and if the Bollywood beauty, Katrina Kaif would be his heroin (sic.) in the film.
The Pakistan cricket team captain said that he wants to do a character like ‘Dabang’, which was portrayed by Salman Khan.
He further said that this is also his demand to cast Katrina as his heroine in the film.

Because Catherine Zeta-Jones is not pious enough, wields a mean sword and does not speak erdoo like BeReham Khan. Khan is hoping that someone will also 1000% appreciate his ...er...sacrificial pangs.

Terroristanis can be Very "Trying" Indeed!

Pakistan, India foreign ministers likely to meet in September?

NEW DELHI: Pakistan and India are looking at the possibility of a meeting between their foreign ministers Shah Mehmood Qureshi and Sushma Swaraj on the sidelines of 73rd session of United Nations General Assembly in September.

This was reported by Indian media citing diplomatic sources.

Qureshi and Sushma will likely represent their countries at the UNGA which will begin on September 18 in New York.

Time of India reported that there is no official proposal for the meeting of Qureshi and Sushma, however, the diplomatic sources said there is understanding among both sides that they should make use of this opportunity for a significant contact between two countries. Oh Really?

Dialogue is the only way forward for ties between Pakistan and India, foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said on Monday, fuelling hopes of a thaw in relations.

Qureshi stresses need to bridge trust deficit between Pakistan and United States
Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Tuesday stressed the need to bridge the existing trust deficit between Pakistan and the United States, as both the countries were important for each other.
“There is a long history of diplomatic relations between Pakistan and America. There have been ups and downs [in bilateral ties].”
“we have been the most allied of the allies” :roll:
Long and cosy relations between qureshi and hillary. Must build on that.

Another Oversees Paki Coming Out Of The Canada Woodwork To Implement Immy's Naya Pakistan Dream :D

Pakistani-Canadian environmental specialist offers free services to Imran Khan’s govt
LAHORE – As overseas Pakistani and professionals are pinning hopes on newly-elected Prime Minister Imran Khan, an expatriate environmental specialist settled in Canada has offered free services to the government of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
Apparently motivated by the Khan’s first promises-filled address to the nation, Mahboob Mian, who has vast experience in managing environmental issues, has offered his expertise to help the new premier combat the climate change-related challenges.In a tweet, Mian said: “Being an Environmental Specialist with 30 years international experience living in Canada offer my free services to Imran Khan Govt for Pakistan Environmental Management program especially Air Quality, waste management. I think this is right time to pay back”.
In this case, the "specialist" is playing it safe and offer his "special service" ex gratis via Email, phone , fax , text and the other marvels of kufr I.T. Whether there will be no takers in the Paki bureaucracy and /or Paki Consulate in Toronto, remains to be seen . ( Immy just "boasted" had he planned 10 million seeds in KP ( or was it 1 billion ) :twisted: ( In the meantime, there were reports that his Party in KP is in bed with the Timber Mafia !!!
Malik Amin Aslam, who drafted the climate change section of the PTI manifesto, while talking to a private news media had said: “Pakistan is facing the brunt of climate change, so I think climate preparation, making sure our development is totally climate compatible, our infrastructure is resilient to climate shocks, is going to be very high priority.”
So, Aslam is already a "big fan" of Immy's Naya Pakistan !
Earlier, Consultant Pediatrics, Neonatologist/Regional Director USA, Director Development Dr. Imran Malik hailing from Chicago, Illinois has set his hope highs for a ‘Naya Pakistan’ and has decided to bring his hard-earned money back to his home country in efforts to help and play his part in materializing PM Khan’s ‘revolutionary vision’.
This "guy" has gone one step further. Maybe, he is alienated from Massaland. Has decided to burn all his bridges and be a part of Imran's Naya Pakistan ! Good for him ! :twisted:
On Aug 20, a renowned journalist who works for the BBC in abroad also announced to move back to Pakistan after Imran Khan took oath as new prime minister of Pakistan. :roll:
Hope that the famous NAB of Pakiland do not give "special treatment" to these returning Pakis "fed up with the west" . Otherwise , they will be like the proverbial kutta " na ghar ka, na ghat ka" :mrgreen:
