really , this article is a one off, only when enough pakis Emigrate and become a real problem for all western nations with their networks and arms they will continue to play games in India. So unlike West settled folks I see Islamic migration to the West as a good thing not a bad thing.

And do you notice, Bollywood's complicity in Headley's Recce activities has been blanked out, balnked out that the Indian media especially certain prominent personalities kept updates of what were the anti terror ops live so that the Handlers in Pakistan were well informed while attack was happening that answers a lot of questions.

West has not done anything credible against the Islamist terrorists. All these documentaries are just an eye wash that do not squarely call out the source of the problem...Pakistan. They have not even been able to catch Ayman Al Zawahiri who lives in Pakistan.

Just wait till Taliban consolidates its hold on Afghanistan. We will see another of terror attacks on the west.....This time they will be the laughing stock of the non western world for reposing their trust in Pakistan.

I agree that Islamic migration to west is good for us....The west needs to share the pain that they have imposed on us since the 1870s when the anglos tilted towards Islam.

It depends on how much ISI wants, I believe 9/11 had an ISI hand. They were ones who really profited in money and weapons from it. They just used Arabs to get the blacklash. They may try the trick again by using Arabs and pawns and try to mint money like they did in the last 20 years from Aid money.

And, the female MNAs from I'm duh Dim's party come to his rescue from the serious gaffe he recently made on the baki rape culture. Gems:

PTI MNAs defend PM Imran's heavily criticised comments on rape
Minister of State for Climate Change Zartaj Gul claimed that the premier was "a symbol of women empowerment"
"For the first time in Pakistan, five women ministers are sitting in the federal cabinet. This means that if there is a symbol of women empowerment in Pakistan, it is Prime Minister Imran,"
Our culture and way of dressing is idolised across the world. They wish and try to dress like us graceful Pakistanis
My culture has given me respect
When we go somewhere men stand up and vacate their seat.
"Under PM Imran's leadership, the two-finger test was abolished," Bokhari said.
The MNA went on to allege that PML-N lawmakers had themselves been involved in cases of rapes and sexual abuse
"Nudity [...] is not a part of our culture. It is the culture of animals," she remarked. "Islam teaches us to cover ourselves."
And, the blasphemy card:
Quoting a verse from the Holy Quran, which she said was the essence of the prime minister's statement, she remarked that those contesting the premier's statement were actually contesting Allah.

Pakistan Should Be Held Accountable For Aiding Terrorism: India At UN
Pakistan, as its state policy, continues to provide pensions to dreaded and listed terrorists and hosts them on its territory, Pawankumar Badhe, first Secretary, Indian Permanent Mission in Geneva, said.
Geneva:June 22, 2021

Pakistan should be held "accountable for aiding and abetting terrorism", India said, adding that Islamabad continues to provide pensions to dreaded and listed terrorists and hosts them on its territory as its state policy.
Exercising its right to reply following Pakistan's remarks at the 47th Session of the United Nations Human Right Council (UNHRC), New Delhi highlighted the systematic persecution of minorities in Pakistan through draconian blasphemy laws, forced conversions and marriages and extrajudicial killings.
India's remarks come after Khalil Hashmi, permanent representative of Pakistan to the UN in Geneva, tried to raise Kashmir's issue at the interactive dialogue on the annual report of the High Commissioner.
Pawankumar Badhe, first Secretary, Indian Permanent Mission in Geneva, expressed regret that Pakistan has once again "misused this platform for making unfounded and irresponsible allegations against India".
"The scourge of terrorism is the gravest violation of human rights and must be dealt with in strongest terms in all its forms and manifestations," he said.
Pakistan, as its state policy, continues to provide pensions to dreaded and listed terrorists and hosts them on its territory, Mr Badhe said, while stating that it is "high time" that Pakistan is held accountable for aiding and abetting terrorism.
He accused Islamabad of distracting the Council's attention from the "deplorable human rights situation in Pakistan".
Underlining that the plight of minorities in Pakistan is evident from their shrinking size, Mr Badhe said: "Forced conversions have become a daily phenomenon in Pakistan. We have seen reports of minor girls belonging to religious minorities being abducted, raped, forcibly converted and married. More than 1,000 girls, belonging to religious minorities, are forcibly converted in Pakistan every year."
He condemned the attack and vandalisation of ancient sites of religious minorities in Pakistan and said that Pakistan has also become the land of enforced disappearances, extra-judicial killings and arbitrary detentions of political activists, students, journalists, human rights defenders and minorities.

Imran Khan Postpones UK Visit; Wanted Pact Like India's But Got Cricket Match & Handshake
Imran Khan's visit to the UK has been postponed after Islamabad expressed dissatisfaction with the UK govt's offer for a cricket match & a ceremonial meeting
Gloria Methri, 22nd June, 2021

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's scheduled visit to the United Kingdom next month has been postponed after Islamabad expressed dissatisfaction with the UK government's offer for a cricket match and a ceremonial meeting. Reports state that Pakistan wanted engagement with the UK beyond that, while the Boris Johnson government didn’t come up with any substantive offer.
This follows the Pakistan government's announcement that Imran Khan's visit has been postponed "due to internal security, political and regional situation." However, reports suggest the PM’s trip was rescheduled as the country couldn't secure a UK-Pakistan “partnership road map for 10 years" similar to the pact signed between the UK and India last month.
India and Britain had last month agreed on a transformational Comprehensive Strategic Partnership and adopted an ambitious roadmap to 2030 to steer cooperation for the next 10 years, with a focus on trade and defence.
On June 7, PM Boris Johnson held a telephonic discussion with his Pakistani counterpart and invited him to visit the UK. This would have been Imran Khan's first visit to the UK as Pakistan’s prime minister.

Positive news from Al Bakistan :mrgreen:

Yawn - 50 percent of Kasur cops tested for drug use found ‘positive’
The drug tests of police officials are being conducted on the orders of the prime minister (wonder why nashebaaz Dimran is doing this to his birathers) to bring reforms in the police department. :rotfl:

According to the district police, the officials were selected for the drug test on the basis of internal intelligence reports.

The district police got the samples tested from a private lab, instead of any public hospital’s laboratory.

There's a video floating on twitter of the Lahore explosion. It looks like the explosion was in a upscale neighbor and the target was a specific house.

My sources tell me that two very tall and fair Abduls sat in the middle of the road, calmly took out explosives and started assembling it.

Passers by told the police who were guarding Hafiz Saeed's house. The police immediately came over to help the abduls with the detonators.

Once concerned human rights campaigner (currently a US citizen angling for a think tank job), filed a public interest litigation in Lahore high court, complaining that bombs should not be assembled this openly. The judges immediately ordered the arrest of the campaigner, and said "As long as Palestine, Cashmere and IPL entry of Pakistan cricketer issues remain unsolved, youth do not have any other way but to protest like this".

Reached for comments, Prime minister Imran Khan said that "Architects building houses and people gathering in crowded places are inciting youth to make bombs and blast them". This was accompanied by a huge outcry from architects and people who like to shop in markets, but in a deeply conservative country like Pakistan where most people are opposed to living in comfort and like to see frequent explosions, it found huge resonance among the population.

In an interview to a foreign television, Foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said "Are you a Joo? Is your producer a Joo? Why do you have to poke your long nose into Pakistan's affairs? Are you making a conspiracy?" Accused of being antisemitic, he vehemently denied it. He later added "If you are really a joo, can you lend us some money?". He was given a hero's welcome back home for his befitting reply to the anchor. NNN could not reach him for comments, since he was chairing a high level meet to discuss normalization of relationship with Israel. My sources tell me that it is part of Pakistan's grand geostrategy to weaken India by firmly getting Israel in Pakistan's camp.

Meanwhile the Abduls calmly attached the explosives to the wall and triggered it. This led to frenzied speculation in the media if it was terrorism or a strategic masterstroke.

Noted Defense analyst Ejaz Haider said "The juxtaposition of the conflagration, with the concomitant analysis of the geostrategic zeitgeist, yields strategic ambiguity on the taxonomy of the incident. If the origins of the plan was in GHQ it is an unparalleled masterstroke heralding Pakistan's strategy for encircling FATF, if on the other hand if it is from India, it is definitely terrorism seeking to destabilize the equanimity of the Hafiz". Noted Ejaz Haider translator said "He has no idea, is talking out of his musharraf and is waiting for a hint from his GHQ benefactors on what to write".

Sometimes I think our BENIS thread is too much hidden from public visibility. We should have our own Pak-specific news site like "The Onion" where all this talent would not be wasted. Maybe we can call it "Do Piaza".

One should immediately convene a board of inquiry to ascertain why the other 50% did not get access to drugs. Fairs fair, yes?

At least 3 dead, 21 injured in blast at Lahore's Johar Town
"So far we have not been able to determine whether a gas pipeline burst or whether it was a cylinder. :rotfl: But we have shifted four people [to the hospital] and more injured are expected."
even of those admitted to the hospital were in critical condition with "ball bearing and blast injuries"
police were guarding Saeed's house at the time of the attack
windows and walls of Saeed's house had been damaged from the impact
CTD would investigate the "terrorist act"
He urged citizens and the media to not "speculate", adding that officials received hundreds of threat alerts every year. "Even right now we have about 65 threat alerts," he said, adding that there was an "external element" involved in most terrorist attacks.
"These attacks are usually carried out by countries that want to harm Pakistan and its progress," he said.
We have peace in our country because of our intelligence agencies
The cover-up now begins. Saeed is a UN designated terrorist. He was sentenced to 15 years in a terror-financing case in 2019. So here's my takeaway:

1. What's saeed doing at home? Was he hurt?
2. Why is the police guarding his house? Who are they protecting him from?
3. It was certainly an attack on Saeed, probably by the Afghans.
4. Pakhanistan = Saeed and Saeed = Pakhanistan.
5. An attack on saeed is a terrorist attack.
6. AoA!

Pakistan asks American TV why PM Imran Khan's interview was censored
Web Desk, Wednesday Jun 23 2021

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has asked American TV channel HBO Axios to explain why it censored Prime Minister Imran Khan's interview, The News reported Wednesday, citing a private news channel.
In the interview, the prime minister expressed his views on India's Hindutva ideology. However, the comments were not aired.
Following the episode of censorship, the Government of Pakistan has sought an explanation from the American TV channel regarding the matter.
Sources further said that HBO Axois' decision to censor the premier's comments qualify as restricted freedom of expression. The Information Ministry has been instructed to take up the matter with the American TV channel.
The interview was aired on Monday, June 21 at 3:00 am PST and was conducted by Jonathan Swan of HBO Axios.
During the interview, the premier also shed light on the issue of giving Pakistani military bases to the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and said that it will "absolutely not" allow this to happen.
“There’s no way we're going to allow any bases or any sort of action from Pakistani territory into Afghanistan. Absolutely not," the premier had said.
He said that Pakistan has suffered the most due to the war against terrorism.
"Over 70,000 Pakistanis embraced martyrdom due to US-Afghan war. We have given sacrifices more than anybody else in this war." He noted that his country is currently hosting three million Afghan refugees.

I think Onion is a satirical website and Do Piaza (two onions) would be doubly satirical in the case of Paki (they are a special case and nothing satisfies their H&D if there is only One Onion). That is my guess as I too am Hindi challenged. This guess is from eating Chicken Dopiaza in Indian Restaurants.

a very convenient ISPR spin. Looks more like a jehadi related purge of mullah pasand sleeper cells caught after some jehadi captured in afghanistan may have outed them.

BTW, a paki coup is long over due.

many little musharrafs must be chaffing at the bit.

If any such attempt succeeds, imran khan niazi will be for the high jump at the nearest lamp post.

Fauj will not do a hard coup again. They have learned their lesson. Why carry out a hard coup and then be responsible for everything that goes wrong, when they can carry out a soft one and rule via remote control with someone like Im the Dim front and center to absorb the brickbats.

Agree there will be no hard coup, but there will be factions fighting for control of the Paki military. That is where the fight will go on behind the scenes

Mubarak Ho, Pakhaniyon!

Pakistan experiments its vaccine on rabbit
The University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences Friday experimented a coronavirus vaccine it formulated on a rabbit. (one unsuspecting rabbit)
"We are waiting for the results of the first vaccine. The second experiment will be carried out on a monkey," he said. (just one monkey?)
Pakistan will be able to produce its own coronavirus vaccine.
So, no phase-III testing on one unsuspecting paki? Hain?

As expected, Pakistan to remain on FATF grey list
The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) announced on Friday that Pakistan will continue to remain on the watchdog's "increased monitoring list", also known as the grey list, till it addresses the single remaining item on the original action plan agreed to in June 2018 as well as all items on a parallel action plan handed out by the watchdog's regional partner – the Asia Pacific Group (APG) – in 2019.
But according to Peer "Gaddi Nasheen" Koreysh: No justification to keep Pakistan on FATF grey list: FM Qureshi
Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has said that the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has no justification to keep Pakistan on its grey list.
"In this situation, there is no justification to keep Pakistan on the grey list," he said. He added that India wanted to use the forum for "political purposes" but should not be allowed to do so.

It's happened before. "Field Marshall" Ayub Khan was "deposed" by Yahya "Womanizer" Khan. Ayub Khan deposed Gen i-Skander "Wife Stealer" Mirza. Did you know i-skander Mirza was a direct descendant (great-grandson) of Mir Jafar?

It's in their DNA and commonly accepted as a possibility by each ruling general. That's why ambassadorships are a popular way to get rid of retiring generals. Out of sight, out of harm's way.

Here are more gems on i-Skander "stealer of other men's wives" Mirza. Enjoy.

Iskander Mirza

Iskander Ali Mirza was born in November 1899 in Murshidabad, Bengal. His father was Sayyid Muhammad Fateh Ali Mirza. "Mirza" is actually a title and not a last name, given to highly educated people in administrative positions. The Mirza family was an extremely wealthy feudal family in Bengal, with close ties to the ruling British. In fact, Iskander Ali Mirza was a great-grandson of the infamous General Mir Jafar, who had betrayed the throne of Bengal to the British East India Company and had been rewarded by the British for his betrayal. (The name "Mir Jafar" is commonly used in the context of "Quisling" in Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi history).

Iskander Ali grew up in Bombay and then joined the British Army and was educated in the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. He became the first Indian to graduate out of Sandhurst and was commissioned into the British Indian Army in 1920. He served in the North West area of India and Waziristan in the 1920s, but his military career only lasted until 1926, when he left the military to join the Indian Political Service. He served as a political agent and district officer and proved to be a capable colonial administrator for the British. Because of his ability to run the colonial administration, he was later appointed as the Joint Defense Secretary of India in 1946.

At this point, he was cultivated by Mohammed Ali Jinnah and in February 1947, Jinnah told him that the prospect of Pakistan being carved out of India didn't appear very good. He felt that Muslim anger needed to be properly demonstrated and failing this, the British would hand the entire country of India over to the Congress party. Jinnah declared that if Pakistan could not be formed by negotiation, it would have to be won by a violent display of Muslim will. He tasked Iskander Mirza to be prepared to resign from the government and return to the tribal areas of the North West and prepare the tribesmen to start a violent jihad in Punjab. Iskander Mirza agreed to do this, but wanted a plausible cover-story for his resignation and disappearance. He also requested Rs. 1,000,000 to motivate the Pakthun tribesmen. He was given Rs. 20,000 for immediate expenses, with the promise of more money to follow later and a suitable cover-story as well. He was also assured that in the event anything happened to him, his family would be taken care of. Iskander Mirza began preparing a plan of action, but before it was done, Jinnah informed him that the British government had conceded and agreed to split up India into India and Pakistan and therefore, the violent jihad plan was shelved.

When India and the new nation of Pakistan were partitioned, he was responsible for deciding which military regiments would go to India and Pakistan. He became the first defense secretary of Pakistan in 1947.

As the new defense secretary, he was responsible for sending Pakistani tribals and military units disguised as tribals, to try and attack Kashmir in September 1947 (the same tribals he was preparing earlier for Jinnah) . He was also responsible for putting down a movement for independence in Balochistan in 1948. Due to this, he was appointed as a honorary Major General of the Pakistan Army. He was also put in charge of the military police.

The East Pakistani people wanted greater representation in the new nation of Pakistan and started the Bengali Language Movement. Iskander Mirza deployed his military police to gain control of the region and suppress the movement. This is when he came to national prominence. He was then appointed as governor of East Pakistan and on his first day, he arrested 319 people including leaders of the Bengali people. These actions made the people of East Pakistan resent the rule of the West Pakistanis and one day, break away to form the nation of Bangladesh.

When Governor-General Ghulam Mohammed took a leave of absence for illness for a couple of months, Iskander Mirza was appointed as the new governor general of Pakistan in August 1955. In 1956, the Pakistani constitution replaced the post of Governor-General with the post of President of Pakistan and Iskander Mirza took on his new position as President.

Soon after, his presidency was marked with political instability and civil unrest. During his short four year rule, he managed to dismiss four prime ministers, three of whom were appointed by him and the fourth (Suhawardy, a fellow Bengali) who was popularly elected. In 1958, he announced on national radio, that he was introducing a new constitution "more suited to the genius of the Pakistani nation", as he believed that democracy was unsuitable for Pakistan "with its 15% literacy rate". His new constitution consisted of imposing martial law and he appointed General Ayub Khan (the army commander) as the chief martial law administrator, a decision that proved to be a bad idea in three weeks. As Ayub Khan started to grab more power, President Mirza tried to secure the support of Ayub Khan's rivals in the Pakistani Army, Navy and Air Force. However, his efforts proved unsuccessful and he was unceremoniously forced to resign by Ayub Khan on October 27th, 1958. A few days later, he was exiled to London, England.

In London, Iskander Mirza was much reduced from his opulent life in Pakistan. He struggled to make ends meet and ran a Pakistani restaurant for a while. He was entitled to an annual pension of 3000 pounds, as a former military officer and president and this was his sole regular income. He died in relative poverty in London in November 1969, of a heart attack. The ruler of Pakistan, General Yahya Khan, refused to allow him a burial in Pakistan, but his friendship with the Shah of Iran led to the Shah sending his personal plane to bring his body to Tehran, Iran, where he was accorded a state funeral. None of his relatives living in Pakistan were allowed to leave the country to attend his funeral and his remains are buried in the southern suburbs of Tehran.
