The rumours in the Paki media appear to be coming directly from the top (Bajwa). This is all taqquiya though so hope our guys don't go overboard in making concessions to these snakes.

Paki army now wants to bypass civilian to deal with India directly as they feel acute need of peace with India because they are broke and 3.5 are not helping and even Chinkus are not showing interest. Their weapon chest is empty, don't have cartridge or cannon to fire at LOC. IMF is restraining giving money to army. Immy and Cabinet against talking to India till 370 is restored. What Bajwa can do then?

Knowing Pakis with past experience they think India is collapsing with Covid, they have definitely planned some militarily and terror action and are just trying to lull our security apparatus. We should prepare our militarily capabilities for the next bullet,mortar, jihadi, artillery shell crosses with disproportionate militarily action. They have always built up ammo, mortars etc during these so called ceasefires.

Of course they want a pause - they want to find the money to build up so that they can attack us again.

There must be a strategic reason for that. Btw this year an important event takes place which is a unique tradition found only in Pakistan. Pakistan's PM will appoint his own boss. The question is whether Bajwa chooses strategic extension or strategic retirement with 100 kanal land which is strategically located somewhere in Punjab. It's also possible he has made some strategic foreign investments like a house in Australia. Nobody knows for sure what happens. It's a strategic suspense. Strategic speculation in the media will start anytime now.

i think even with this spending we can cause enough pain at this stage. Do what they have been doing with us. Small incursions by military and fighter jets here and there would keep them on toes.
Burn the life hours of their fighter jets..by making sorties on retired mig 21, live test a few astra or akash. Ingress using new hepters. Might have some costs but would be more to them on a proportionate basis. They can not be trusted and given their history should not be trusted with peace.

Pakistan is on its last legs, in a few months a gentle nudge will be enough to topple it.

But methinks Pakistan gagging in liquid oxygen of religious extremism + mafia military rule like this is best for us in the medium term. Liquid use jeene nahi dega, oxygen use marne nahi dega.

One of the participant in Paki Fart show has claimed that in the recent back channel talks intelligence agencies of both the countries have made an understanding that Pakistan wont insist on re-implementation of special status of Kashmir (article 370) and India will preserve Article 35A and will ensure there is no new settlement of Hindus and other non-muslims in J&K ie a compromise has been arrived on the abrogation of Article 370 and Article 35A by India.

It is so :lol: to see the desperation of these beggars who want to see Jammu and Kashmir not become Hindu majority. Their assumption that Muslim majority J&K is = Pakistan is simply so pathetic.

Pakis have changed demography of POK by settling Punjabis there on a large scale. On our side of Kashmir, they tried to purge Hindus to make it a Muslim-only state. And these Paki turds are accusing India of trying to change demography!!

Yawn link - LHC chief justice blames DHA for ‘land grab’
Lahore High Court Chief Justice Mohammad Qasim Khan on Wednesday lashed out at the Defence Housing Authority (DHA) for its involvement in “illegal” occupation of lands and regretted that the army seemed to have become the “biggest land grabber”.

The chief justice was hearing petitions of three citizens seeking an order against the DHA to not disturb their lawful possession of the land they had obtained on lease from the Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB).

CJ Khan regretted that the army had also grabbed a piece of land measuring 50-kanal owned by the high court. :mrgreen:

Fawad ‘condemns’ Fazl’s remarks about country’s defence capability
Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry has strongly condemned a speech by Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam (JUI-F) Maulana Fazlur Reh­man, in which he claimed that “we are not capable of fighting for 24 hours”. :mrgreen:

The minister’s statement came hours after a speech delivered by Maulana Fazl at a gathering at his residence in which he criticised the chief of the army staff for reportedly holding a “secret briefing” with the TV anchors.

The Maulana had expressed his concern over reports that Pakistan and India were holding secret talks in the UAE. He alleged that Pakistan had adopted a reconciliation policy towards India because the country could not fight with the enemy due to weak economy and later he said that “we cannot fight for even 24 hours”.

In today's news, Shrilleen Matahari, in a tweet, called the European Parliament "islamophobic". But, wait a minute! Last year, when the same EU parliament passed a resolution on India's CAA, this same purple-haired shrew gleefully commended the "parliament's progressive ideals".

The old adage - "when the shrew is on the other foot..."

Pakistan to seek debt restructuring of CPEC power projects
Pakistan to seek strategic restructuring of CPEC "investments".

Remember how it was marketed as $50 billion investment? Everyone knew it was high interest loans and not investments. Everyone except aam Pakis who were fooled by people in power.
“The country is scheduled to make Rs435 billion or nearly $3 billion principal repayments to 12 Chinese independent power producers in three years,” he added.

“The government will request China to consider restructuring of the $3 billion repayments for 10 to 12 years, which in return will reduce the tariff increase requirements by Rs1.50 per unit.” The initiative is part of the hosts of proposals that the PTI government is exploring to minimise tariff increase requirements estimated in the range of Rs4.60 to Rs5.65 per unit under a recently approved Circular Debt Management Plan.
After 12 years, the government would recover the amount from the consumers to repay to China, he added
Chinese would be fools to accept this. Pakis will come up with a new debt restructuring proposal 12 years later. This is just strategic postponement by Pakis.
“The proposal has been discussed with the Chinese ambassador to Pakistan and now it needs to be taken up at the highest level by both the countries,” the SAPM elaborated.
We do not want to embarrass our friend but the fact is that half of the IPPs’ payments are related to Chinese power projects.
Did I read that right? Pakis think Pakistan asking for debt restructuring will be embarrassing not for Pakistan but China? :rotfl:

European Parliament calls for immediate reassessment of EU-Pakistan trade regime
The Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO) welcomes the European Parliament’s 29 April 2021 resolution on the blasphemy laws in Pakistan. The resolution is significant not only for its forceful condemnation of the terrible state of religious freedom in Pakistan, but also for its recognition that the European Union (EU) the EU’s trading relationship with Pakistan is failing to uphold human rights, and its demand that the European Commission immediately reconsider it.

On 29 April 2021, the European Parliament passed a resolution decrying the deterioration of what was already a terrible record of religious persecution in Pakistan. The resolution was overwhelmingly passed, 662 to 3, with 26 not voting.
Tried finding who refrained and who voted against the resolution, but could not find it. If any one knows how to, please post that information

Significantly, the resolution also called for the “Commission and the European External Action Service (EEAS) to immediately review Pakistan’s eligibility for GSP+ status in the light of current events and whether there is sufficient reason to initiate a procedure for the temporary withdrawal of this status and the benefits that come with it, and to report to the European Parliament on this matter as soon as possible.” This provision was voted on separately and received even more votes in favor, passing with 678 votes in favour, 8 against, and 10 not voting.

This is an unprecedented and crucial action by the European Parliament.

Pakistan ‘disappointed’ as EU seeks review of GSP+ status over blasphemy law ‘abuse’
FO says discourse in European Parliament reflects lack of understanding in context of blasphemy laws and associated religious sensitivities in Pakistan
News Desk, May 1, 2021

Pakistan on Friday expressed its disappointment over a resolution adopted on country’s blasphemy laws by the European Parliament, which also called for a review of GSP (Generalised Scheme of Preferences) plus status of the country.
On Thursday, the European Parliament adopted a resolution calling for a review of the GSP+ status granted to Pakistan in view of an ‘alarming increase’ in the use of blasphemy accusations in the country as well as rising number of online and offline attacks on journalists and civil society organisations. The resolution also calls on the Government of Pakistan to ‘unequivocally condemn’ incitement to violence and discrimination against religions minorities in the country, and expresses ‘deep concern’ at the prevailing anti-French sentiment in Pakistan.
“The EU Parliament calls on the Commission and the European External Action Service (EEAS) to immediately review Pakistan’s eligibility for GSP+ status in the light of current events and whether there is sufficient reason to initiate a procedure for the temporary withdrawal of this status and the benefits that come with it, and to report to the European Parliament on this matter as soon as possible”, according to the resolution.
Member of European Parliament (MEP) Charlie Weimers of Sweden, who co-authored the resolution, in his speech during the parliament’s latest session cited various incidents of members of religious minorities killed or imprisoned in Pakistan over accusations of blasphemy. “Prime Minister Imran Khan, rather than defend his citizens’ human rights against false accusers, […] equated denial of the Holocaust and genocide to criticism of Holy Prophet (PBUH),” he said in his remarks. The lawmaker also tweeted, “Should Europe reward Pakistan’s mob justice targeting Christians and its Prime Minister relativising the Holocaust? My answer is no.”
The resolution expresses particular concern regarding the case of couple Shagufta Kausar and Shafqat Emmanuel, who were sentenced to death on blasphemy charges in 2014. “The evidence on which the couple were convicted can be considered deeply flawed,” it states, noting that the couple had allegedly been in an argument with the accuser not long before the accusations were made.
The couple remains in jail pending a court ruling on their appeal against their death sentence. The appeal was due to be heard in April 2020, six years after they were sentenced, but has been postponed multiple times, most recently on February 15, 2021, according to the resolution.
It notes that there has been “an alarming increase” in accusations of blasphemy online and offline in Pakistan over the past year, with the highest number of accusations since 1987 taking place in 2020. Many of these allegations targeted human rights defenders, journalists, artists and the most marginalised segments. “Pakistan’s blasphemy laws are increasingly used for personal or political score?settling in violation of the rights to freedom of religion and belief and of opinion and expression,” it states. According to the resolution, the situation in Pakistan “continued to deteriorate in 2020 as the government systematically enforced blasphemy laws and failed to protect religious minorities from abuses by non-state actors, with a sharp rise in targeted killings, blasphemy cases, forced conversions, and hate speech against religious minorities including Ahmadis, Shia Muslims, Hindus, Christians and Sikhs; whereas abduction, forced conversion to Islam, rape and forced marriage remained an imminent threat for religious minority women and children in 2020, particularly those from the Hindu and Christian faiths”.

What is a few billion among friends hain? Let us assume a wealthy friend loans you Rs 10, 2 years later asks for it. Doesnt he have any shame?! Asking for money back from a struggling friend when he is so wealthy!

The gentlemanly way is to loan you Rs 10 more so you can pay back the original loan and everything is now even.
Pakistan would request China to set up a one-time CPEC debt refinancing fund of $3 billion, which will be used to pay to the Chinese companies.

Chinese are no fools. If they agree to refinance the $3 billion loan or agree to a staggered payment of interest over 10-12 years instead of 3 years then they will ask for and secure something very tangible from the Pakistanis who will again :(( over it in the future.

Stripping of pakistan of anything valuable they have will continue unabated by the chinese who are experts in exploiting any given situation.

Also, let us take this opportunity to admire the 50 year strategic thinking to achieve 100 year strategic objectives as practiced by Qin dynasty and as taught by confucious.

Loaning 50 billion $ to a basket case and picking up a fight with second largest economy in Asia.

All hail the wisdom of the Chinese.

America’s Afghanistan Withdrawal Opens Door to Pakistan Terror Designation
A combination of Pakistani triumphalism amidst the backdrop of U.S. withdrawal and any subsequent Taliban atrocities will ignite public opinion and lead American politicians to take symbolic action.

Pakistanis often complain that the United States is a fair-weather friend: American leaders can be generous and even deferential when Washington needs Islamabad’s assistance but the moment the United States no longer does, it can be punitive toward Pakistan.

Frankly, such criticisms are correct. Pakistan has long been America’s second choice. Upon the 1947 partition of India, American policymakers wanted to ally with both India and Pakistan to create a bulwark against communism. With hundreds of thousands if not millions killed, many more displaced, and the Kashmir dispute growing, though, neither Pakistan nor India were interested in working together. President Harry S. Truman claimed neutrality though Pakistanis suspected he was tilting toward India. In October 1947, for example, the State Department rejected Pakistan’s request for $2 billion in financial and military aid.
:lol:
President Jimmy Carter’s emphasis on nonproliferation, however, caused the diplomatic quarrel to go public. Congress quickly moved to ban economic and military assistance to Pakistan, with both the Symington and Glenn Amendments. While the president could theoretically waive the sanctions, Carter chose not to do so. Only the Soviet invasion changed Carter’s mind. The same pattern repeated during the Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Clinton, and George W. Bush eras. When the Soviets withdrew from Afghanistan, George H.W. Bush’s administration refused to certify under the terms of the 1985 Pressler Amendment that Pakistan was not working on a nuclear weapon. Likewise, after Pakistan’s 1998 nuclear tests, Clinton imposed sanctions under the terms of the Glenn Amendment. Only when the United States needs Pakistan’s logistical support in 2001 were these sanctions waived.

The question for Pakistan, now, is whether the same pattern will continue. With Biden embracing Trump’s policy of unilateral withdrawal, the United States will soon no longer need Pakistan. Neither the White House nor Congress will be inclined to sweep irritants in bilateral relations—primarily, the sponsorship of terror by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence—under the rug. This could lead rather quickly to efforts within Congress to pressure the State Department to designate Pakistan a state sponsor of terror. Diplomats and the State Department’s internal Pakistan lobby may dismiss such a notion, but a combination of Pakistani triumphalism amidst the backdrop of U.S. withdrawal and any subsequent Taliban atrocities will ignite public opinion and lead American politicians to take symbolic action. Pakistan should be prepared to join a club putting them alongside Iran, Syria, and North Korea.

Pakis recently had a by-election near Karachi where the total voting percentage was 21%. This is based on registered voter count (Actual eligible voters would be higher). The party that won the elections has net 5% of the total eligible votes in the constituency. This is democracy in Pakistan in numbers.

Repercussions Of EU Trade Review Resolution On Pakistan – OpEd
Ameena Tanvir, May 3, 2021

Last week, The European Parliament adopted a resolution calling for a review of trade relations with Pakistan and ending its eligibility for the Generalized Scheme of Preferences (GSP) status. The unpresented resolution called for Pakistan to free a Christian couple which has been on death row since 2014 over blasphemy charges and urged the EU authorities to review the country’s GSP+ status amid “alarming” number of blasphemy cases.
The resolution also expressed concerns at increasing online and other attacks on journalists and human rights activists and asked Pakistan to take steps to ensure their safety. Responding to the resolution, Pakistan’s Foreign Office said, “The discourse in the European Parliament reflects a lack of understanding in the context of blasphemy laws and associated religious sensitivities in Pakistan – and in the wider Muslim world.” “The unwarranted commentary about Pakistan’s judicial system and domestic laws are regrettable,” he added.
The resolution came weeks after the government inked an agreement with the banned Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) group to end nearly week long protests and unrest. TLP’s protest not only kept the country besieged but it made international headlines as the religio-political group led massive anti-France demonstrations. This makes situation more complicated for already struggling foreign policy of Pakistan on multiple levels.
Ever since getting GSP status by the EU in 2014, Pakistan’s exports to EU increased 3.3 per cent; country’s exports to the EU went to $7.5 billion or 34 percent of total exports of the country after getting GSP Plus status. From 2013 to 2019, Pakistan was able to considerably enhance its exports to the EU with an increase of 65 per cent. The GSP plus facility is available to Pakistan till 2022 and a review by the EU is to take place in January 2022 to decide if this facility is to continue or not. As of now, Pakistani exports to the EU are dominated by textiles and clothing, accounting for 82 per cent of Pakistan’s total exports to the EU. Pakistani textile sector saw tremendous boom and was able to perform to the fullest capacity, after several years, when the Coronavirus pandemic hit the world forcing many countries to shut down their industries.
But Pakistan, unlike developed countries, relaxed lock down restrictions early to ease pressure on industries and poor. That helped the country’s textile industry to receive orders from international markets when other countries were closed or were unable to meet deadlines. At one point Pakistan’s outbound shipments grew at a faster pace than Bangladesh and India as textiles, which account for half of the total export, led the recovery. But with the resolution, the country’s export may come under dark clouds of uncertainty and the export volume could get a major blow. The closure or cut on textile exports, therefore, would severely impact Pakistani economy and in turn a lot of people that are associated with the textile sector.

GSP status after concessions to TLP
Religiosity versus governance
Editorial, May 2, 2021

Prime Minister Imran Khan believes that the West suffers from Islamophobia and he has been assigned the mission to unite the Muslim world to fight the trend. After the recent episode concerning the French cartoons Mr Khan condemned it in a number of tweets. He also castigated French President Emmanuel Macron for deliberately provoking Muslims and encouraging the display of blasphemous cartoons targeting Islam and the Holy Prophet (PBUH). “This is a time when President Macron could have put a healing touch and denied space to extremists rather than creating further polarization and marginalization that inevitably leads to radicalization.” The criticism should have sufficed to silence the religious lobby without affecting state-to-state relations between Pakistan and France.
Mr Khan however went a step further by mollycoddling TLP leader Khadim Rizvi who was allowed to take out rallies against France in Karachi and Islamabad calling for the expulsion of the French ambassador and declaration of jihad against France. Instead of restraining the firebrand cleric from meddling in the affairs of the state, two federal ministers and the Deputy Commissioner Islamabad were sent to hold talks with the TLP. They signed an agreement to take a decision from the Parliament regarding the expulsion of the French ambassador within three months and not appointing Pakistan’s ambassador to France. As the government sought a delay in taking the matter to Parliament, the TLP went on the rampage last month, destroying government and private property, attacking passersby and kidnapping and torturing police officers.

Added later: Dimran Khan Niazi has been equating (barobbar-barobbar) the Holocaust deny law with the Pakistani Blasphemy law, in his recent speeches. Bad idea for some one who claims to know the West.

Again? Thought they had bumper winter crop. Something is not right. Some anchors were complaining that flour prices are going up despite new and supposedly bumper supply hitting the market.

May be government is faking the numbers or it could be just plain corruption. With Im the dim at helms petty thefts have become open loot.

PTI leaders are making money both ways:
-Wheat and Flour is smuggled into Afghanistan.
-There is commission/kickbacks to be made from importing Wheat from abroad.

In the past wheat was first sent to Afghanistan and then brought back into pakistan as 'imported wheat' :lol:

Plus Charsi Imran can practice his begging skills by asking for more aid to cover food imports and ask the international community to reschedule and even forgive the interest/principal payment of loans as it does not have enough money to cover even basic food item.

Experts air concern over backchannel engagement with India
It seems there is no strategic clarity :mrgreen:
ISLAMABAD: Apprehensions about the backchannel engagement with India are growing because of what is being seen as an ‘absence of strategic clarity’ on Pakistani side.
The discussants noted that optimism in Islamabad contrasted New Delhi’s stoic silence. This, it was observed, leads people to question the ground of euphoria in Pakistani officialdom and seriousness of Modi government’s commitment to discuss all outstanding issues, including Kashmir.
There has been a steady trickle of leaks from the Pakis about the backchannel talks but the complete silence of GoI is making Pakis uncomfortable and think that the banias are up to something and will make a ullu out of them :mrgreen:
Generally, once army chief announces something, every "strategic expert" in Pakistan starts parroting the same thing in their articles and conferences. For example geoeconomics. But here, even when Bajwa has explicitly backed the talks with India, not all the experts seem to be aligned with Bajwa. Poor Bajwa. How the mighty have fallen. There was a time when army chiefs were brave enough to take out battle tanks and go to war against Isloo to make the bloody civilians fall in line but now experts and even ministers are openly disagreeing with the army chief. I hope the next army chief restores the image, honor and dignity of the Pak army.

I knew there were lame-duck Presidents and Prime Ministers. But Pakistan having a lame duck Army General? Hai Arrah yeh kya ho gaya?

Without an all pervasive Army General - Pakistan ka matlab kya?

This is Yahood-o-Hanud Saazish. They want all paki Generals to either become personal bodyguards of Arab Rulers or sell Pizza in US or Canada or UK or Australia or New Zealand.

Pak army chief Bajwa is on a strategic visit to Saudi Arabia for a post retirement job interview for the position of a security guard. ISPR in a statement has denied the rumors that former army chief Raheel Shariff who is currently a security guard in the kingdom referred Bajwa to Prince Mohammed Bin Salman.

Jokes aside this visit is a percusor to the visit of charsi Imran this month to Saudi Arabia. Pakis are very hopeful of doing the gubo with the Saudis and the Saudis in turn making cash/oil available again on favorable terms. If Saudi's do give financial help again to pakistan then expect the Porkis to be upto their usual self and the LOC to be hot again. This will give a great opportunity for the Chinese to do something nasty on the LAC and with Biden in bed with the Chinese. Throw in the imminent return of Taliban in Afghanistan which pakistan thinks it will control, it is going to be tough times for India.

This is a valid strategic concern: What if Pakistan's strategic pause and strategic patience is strategically exploited by India to achieve its strategic objectives, like strategic relationships with Afghanistan to strategically encircle Pakistan to put it under a strategic disadvantage vis-a-vis India? What will Pakistan's strategy be then? What is the strategic analysis by Pakistan's strategists to device a counter-strategy to this strategic threat?
