Gunmen Kill Soldier In Attack On Polio Workers In Pakistan
Gunmen killed one soldier and wounded another on May 31 when they opened fire on security forces escorting a team of polio workers during a door-to-door inoculation campaign in a former Pakistani Taliban stronghold near the Afghan border, police said. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack in North Waziristan in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province. It came days after the government launched the latest polio eradication campaign, said Aslam Riaz, a police officer in the region. He said the polio workers escaped unharmed and the attackers fled the scene. Pakistan and Afghanistan are the only countries in the world where polio remains endemic.

UN-Designated Terrorist, Who Trained 26/11 Attackers, Dies In Pak Jail
An Anti-Terrorism Court in Lahore had given Hafiz Abdul Salam Bhuttavi a jail term of 16 years in a terror financing case in 2020.
Press Trust of India, May 31, 2023

Lahore: Hafiz Abdul Salam Bhuttavi, an UN-designated terrorist who trained the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) attackers for the 2008 Mumbai terror attack and acted as the outfit's chief on at least two occasions, died in a prison in Pakistan's Punjab province while serving a sentence for terror financing, his aide said on Wednesday.
Bhuttavi, who founded LeT headquarters in Muridke in Pakistan's Punjab, was deputy to the outlawed Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief and Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed. The JuD is the front organisation for the LeT.
"Bhuttavi, 77, was incarcerated at District Jail Sheikhupura, some 60 km from Lahore, since October 2019 in a terror financing case. On May 29, he felt severe pain in his chest and was shifted to hospital where he was pronounced dead (due to cardiac arrest) on arrival," a JuD official told PTI.
His funeral was held at the LeT/JuD headquarters in Muridke in which a large number of followers of the banned organisation participated amid high security.
A source in the Punjab government told PTI that JuD chief Hafiz Saeed, who is lodged at the Kot Lakhpat jail since 2019 serving multiple sentences in terror financing cases, had requested the government to allow him to attend Bhuttavi's funeral but permission was not granted.

FM Dar to the awaam - 'Apne ghabrana nahi hai. We have lot's of experience on being in the grey list'

https://www.news18.com/world/unable-to- ... 73059.html
At a time when its economy is at the tipping point, a US dollar is selling in the hawala networks and open markets of Pakistan for Rs 315 to Rs 320, even as the official bank rate is Rs 285. The Rs 30-35 gap means remittances will drop and grey markets will get stronger.

According to a Federal Investigation Agency source, if the situation continues, Pakistan’s economy will collapse at an accelerated pace.

The source added that Islamabad is also unable to keep its promise to financial watchdog FATF to act on these open markets because of poor enforcement of anti-money laundering networks.

“If proper measures are not taken by Islamabad to counter grey markets and act according to its commitments to the FATF, the latter is likely to put Pakistan on the grey list and this time it would be almost impossible to get out of it,” the source said.

In true mughlai tradition (and as predicted by BRF stalwarts), dost dost na raha...

Yawn - Fawad meets Qureshi as ‘minus Imran’ work begins
In a move that left many scratching their heads, a group of PTI defectors led by Fawad Chaudhry met Shah Mehmood Qureshi in Adiala Jail on Wednesday, apparently to convince the party’s vice chairman to desert Imran Khan. After their meeting, Fawad Chaudhry and others spoke to journalists eagerly waiting outside the prison.

Mr Chaudhry said that the 250 million people of Pakistan cannot be left at the mercy of Asif Zardari, Nawaz Sharif and Maulana Fazlur Rehman.
He said they had a detailed meeting with Mr Qureshi. “We have to move towards a stable solution,” he added, without elaborating. Mr Chaudhry said he had talked to the former PTI leadership. “We had a detailed meeting with Asad Umar, and also contacted Asad Qaiser, Farrukh Habib, Shahzad Wasim, Ali Zaidi, Hammad Azhar, Pervez Khattak and other leaders.”

He did not mention what objective the group wanted to achieve by these efforts. However, the grapevine is abuzz with rumours that they are working on a ‘minus Imran’ formula and their meeting with Mr Qureshi was a step in that direction.

He stressed that there was a need to address the issues facing the country but unfortunately there was no one to play the role of a saviour. :mrgreen:

Cross border attacks from Iran have suddenly picked up.
Two soldiers martyred in attack near Pak-Iran border
QUETTA: Two soldiers were martyred in an armed attack at a security checkpoint close to the border with Iran in Kech district, according to the military’s media wing. The attack took place in the Singwan area at the Pak-Iran border on Thursday. According to a statement by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), terrorists, armed with heavy weapons, opened fire at the checkpoint.
There have been several attacks on security personnel positioned along the border in recent months. Some attacks, Pakistani officials claimed, were launched from Iranian territory.

In April, four soldiers were martyred in a terrorist attack along the border in the Jalgai sector of Balochistan’s Kech district.

An ISPR press release after the attack stated that “terrorists operating from the Iranian side” had attacked a routine border patrol.

In a similar attack in January, four security personnel were martyred in the Chukab sector of Panjgur district.

India to intensify diplomatic campaign to corner Pakistan over PoK
T BRAJESH, June 4, 2023

India will give momentum to its campaign to ensure that the issues of terrorism and PoK are placed together in the centre of the agenda at various platforms.
With Pakistan consistently raking up issue of Kashmir at various UN platforms, irrespective of the agenda and topic of discussion at the meetings, India has prepared a comprehensive plan to intensify its diplomatic campaign to corner Islamabad over Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir (PoK)- Pakistan-Occupied-Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). The government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi will now exercise its influence and strong diplomacy to counter Pakistan’s agenda on Kashmir more effectively by ensuring that the issues of terrorism and PoK are placed together in the centre of agenda at the various forums. “India through diplomatic, security and intelligence networks will gather more evidence on human rights violations and public opinion condemning Pakistan’s oppressive actions in POJK will be documented in a more systematic and more detailed way to be used to corner Pakistan whenever it raises the Kashmir issue on any platform,” a diplomatic source told The Sunday Guardian.
“At every available opportunity, Pakistan will be called out for illegally occupying certain areas of Jammu and Kashmir,” the source added. Soon after the SCO foreign ministers’ meeting in Goa, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar had amply hinted at India’s future plan to corner Pakistan over PoK more aggressively. Countering Pakistan Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari after the SCO meeting, Jaishankar had said “There is nothing left to discuss on Kashmir with Pakistan except Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir.” “Now the talks will be on PoK instead of Kashmir,” Jaishankar asserted. “After Bilawal Bhutto’s outburst on Kashmir in Goa, the Modi government decided to launch a more aggressive and more comprehensive diplomatic campaign to corner Pakistan over PoK and PoJK,” a source aware of the meetings at South Block told The Sunday Guardian. Prime Minister Modi is learnt to have discussed this issue with Jaishankar giving him several suggestions for the campaign.

Al-Bakistan has been in exactly the same situation, where debt was 100% of GDP and debt servicing was 80% of revenues .... in 2001!!

Then due to GOAT (Global Offensive Against Terrorism) and being a Munna, two things happend

1. Loan rescheduling, some had 50 year terms!
2. Coalition support funds from Unkil
3. General boost to the economy because things like fuel etc were sourced from Pakistan
4. Generous IMF conditionalities, where IMF looked the other way

This went on for two decades till 2020!

Now, the biggest danger to India is if Pakistan somehow realizes the folly of her ways and starts running a proper economy

a. They should tax land, agri, traders and bring more under tax net
b. They should let prices of commodities rise to the market value, with subsidies to the poor through direct cash transfer (in the department of direct cash transfer, believe it or not, they used to be better than India. They had benazir income support program. But with aadhar + jan dhan, India has surged ahead. But thats another story) instead of doing things like selling petrol which is among the cheapest in the world! And only benefits car/two wheeler owners
c. They should rationalize the insane way in which land is allocated, sold, taxed and allotted

If they do all this and create a functioning economy, they have the potential to be a long term headache. They can get yahoos from afghanistan, keep yelling in the UN. Get reasonably sophisticated maal like AEW/Subs from China, give everyone access to military bases, train yahoos send them across, fund Khalistanis in UK and other places...the list goes on and on

InshaGanesha, they will continue to be tactically brilliant and continue to run their country to the ground. Hopefully Massa does not invade Iran or China in that period and give Al-Bakistan another two decades of relief.

His point was that Pakis are currently a bit quiet because they are short of money. If they get money, they will strike within India again (or at least try to). Doesn't matter if it is a short-term thing and the money is going to drain out again.

The Major is against any sort of contact with Pakistan.

Time for TTP boiz to play T20 innings.
Pakistan pours cold water on TTP’s talks offer
PESHAWAR: Pakistani authorities have declined an offer from the outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) to resume talks, citing their previous negative experience with dialogue.

The TTP, through various sources and individual contacts, expressed their willingness to re-engage in talks in recent days. However, the government rejected the offer and instead urged the militants to surrender, according to sources.

The government engaged in talks with the proscribed TTP last year at the insistence of the Afghan Taliban government in Kabul. For that purpose, a ceasefire was also announced.

However, the TTP unilaterally terminated the truce in November last year, a few days before the appointment of Gen Asim Munir as the new army chief of Pakistan.
The current coalition government, since assuming power, has attributed the ongoing wave of terrorism in the country to the talks held between the then-ruling PTI government and the TTP. In response to parliamentary directives, a committee was formed on this matter, headed by Defence Minister Khawaja Asif. However, no meetings of the committee have taken place thus far.

The Pakistani government has been urging the Afghan Taliban to take action against the TTP. As part of this effort, the Kabul government has detained or deported several TTP leaders.

Recent visits by Defence Minister Khawaja Asif and Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Hina Rabbani Khar to Kabul were also linked to this issue. During the Afghan foreign minister's visit to Pakistan, the matter was raised as well.

The senior official emphasized that the Afghan Taliban would not employ force against the TTP, and Pakistan had no intention of entering Afghanistan to dismantle TTP bases, given the friendly nature of the neighbouring country.

The Express Tribune reported on Monday that Pakistan had told the interim Afghan government that it could only consider talking to the TTP if the terrorist outfit surrendered and laid down arms.

Official sources privy to the development told The Express Tribune on Sunday that Pakistan was no longer seeking talks with the TTP under the present circumstances.

However, despite Pakistan’s refusal to enter into peace talks with the militant group, the Afghan Taliban were still keen on the process of dialogue to kick-start.

Pakistan: Imran Khan faces blackout on local media after regulator's instruction
Coverage of Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan has disappeared from all mainstream news channels in the country after the media regulator asked networks to block out people involved in rioting last month, a Reuters survey showed on Monday. A directive, seen by Reuters, was put out by the regulator last week referring to violent protests in Pakistan last month following Khan's brief arrest that saw military installations ransacked, allegedly by the former prime minister's supporters.

The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) asked television licencees to ensure that "hate mongers, rioters, their facilitators and perpetrators" are "completely screened out from media". It did not refer directly to Khan.

Pakistan was broke in 1953 too and Nehru had a deal on Kashmir. Then this happened
For all the talk of jihad-without-end over Kashmir, leaders of Pakistan knew the country needed to reduce military expenditures. That meant seeking peace.

Anujan-Ji, we have the some of the same problems you listed, and we are still staggering with these issues and trying to improve on it.

Imagine Paki's tryng to tax agri, land :D hehe.

Economically they are a gone case , their only escape is a allah miracle if some lithium or oil/gas deposits which the chinese desperately need for their industry which will provide some $10-$15 B revenue per year. Their economy can only function normally if they hit on some resources which they can sell to china, or guboing to US, or joining on war on terror II (for which they need to do a 9/11 II again). :mrgreen:

^ Looks like they want Immy to take the bait giving Moonir the justification to ready the noose..

yawn - Time to tighten up ‘noose of law around masterminds who rebelled against state’, vows military brass
The top brass of Pakistan’s military on Wednesday vowed to tighten the “noose of law” around “planners and masterminds who mounted a hate-ripened and politically-driven rebellion against the state and state institutions”.

“Hostile forces and their abettors have been trying hard to create societal division and confusion through fake news and propaganda but all such designs will continue to be defeated with the full support of the nation, InshaAllah,” he asserted.

“It has been further stressed that, while the legal trials of perpetrators and instigators have commenced, it is time that noose of law is also tightened around the planners and masterminds who mounted the hate-ripened and politically-driven rebellion against the state and state institutions to achieve their nefarious design of creating chaos in the country,” the ISPR said.

Furthermore, it went on to say, the conference resolved that endeavours by any quarter to “create obstructions and stymie the conclusive defeat of ill-design of inimical forces will be dealt with iron hands”. # message to the courts, media et al

^ If it comes to that then it will be one in a prison yard. The uniformed jihadis, not wanting to be cast as villains (and not give the amrikis a reason for sanctions), will want to get it done officially via the courts.

But IMHO they want to destroy his persona (first) and not let him become a martyr.

They want the courts to convict him of some serious offense or the other and thus leave him no choice but to leave pakistan and operate from overseas like Altaf bhai.

The elections will then be rigged accordingly to show that the awaam has voted in the new party (IIP - 'Istehkam-e-Pakistan' party) thus proving democracy is thriving in pakistan.

And right on cue.. murder + treason case is charged.
Imran booked in murder case of slain lawyer
QUETTA: Police registered the murder case of Advocate Abdul Razzaq Shar, nominating Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, on the complaint of the slain lawyer’s son, sources said on Wednesday.

The police sources said that the Jameel Shaheed Police Station lodged the first information report (FIR) after Shar’s son, Siraj Ahmed, who is also a lawyer himself, accused Imran of being responsible for his father’s murder.

Shar was gunned down on Quetta's airport road area on Tuesday. Police said the assailants sprayed 14 bullets on the vehicle the slain lawyer was travelling in and escaped. The lawyer died on the spot.

Advocate Shar had submitted an application against Imran, seeking registration of a treason case against the former prime minister for violating the Constitution.

BTW Here is a simple way bakistan can 'show' they have all the money to pay off debts. And aggressively demand more!

The Man who invented the Trillion-Dollar Coin
About a dozen years ago, a pseudonymous commenter on a financial website, writing under the name Beowulf, presented an unusual solution for a debt-ceiling standoff: If the federal government was at risk of default, and Congress couldn’t agree to either cut spending or raise the borrowing limit cleanly, couldn’t it simply mint a trillion-dollar coin?

Beowulf had come across a 1997 law that, in response to requests from coin collectors, gave the Treasury the power to mint platinum coins of any denomination. (Collectors had complained that even coins available at the time with the smallest face values were still too expensive to afford.) The law started as a way to make collectible coins cheaper, but unlike every other law regulating new coins, this one did not establish a specific face value or limit the number of coins produced.

“Congress screwed up,” Beowulf wrote. By passing the law, it had given the president the authority to direct the secretary of the Treasury to mint a coin of any value — say, $1 trillion — and deposit it in the Federal Reserve, which would be legally obligated to accept it. Ultimately, the coin’s deposit would result in $1 trillion in government revenue or, with a coin of a different denomination, however much was needed to continue to pay its bills and avoid a default. “The catch is, it’s gotta be made of platinum,” Beowulf wrote. “Ditto the balls of any president who tried this.”

As it turns out, Beowulf is not an economist or a professional policy wonk. He’s a Georgia lawyer named Carlos Mucha. “Criminal defense, shareholder disputes, a little of everything,” he told me recently.

Mucha felt especially vindicated by the responses from Yellen and Powell earlier this year when asked about the possibility of minting a trillion dollar coin. Yellen simply said it was up to the Federal Reserve. “It truly is not by any means to be taken as a given that the Fed would do it,” she said. “It’s up to them.” A few days later, a reporter followed up with Powell to ask if the Fed would do “whatever the Treasury directs” to resolve a crisis, or if it would perform its own analysis first. All he said about it was that ‘we are Treasury’s fiscal agent, and I’ll leave it at that,’” Mucha said. “That’s a very lawyerly answer. An agent works for a principal. So basically, he was saying, ‘If they deposit money, we gotta take it.’”

Ghafari aka Shahabul Muhajir was involved in multiple attacks in Iran, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Pakistan
News Desk, June 09, 2023

Most wanted terrorist and killer of many innocent people Sanaullah Ghafari aka Shahabul Muhajir has been killed in the Afghan city of Kunar, Express News reported.
The killed terrorist was not only wanted in Pakistan but also at an international level. Ghafari had migrated from India along with his family to Afghanistan, while he lived in the Afghan capital Kabul, where he received religious education at a madrasah.
Ghafari, involved in multiple attacks in Iran, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Pakistan, was also active in Afghanistan. Since April 2020, he has been serving as the head of operations for the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP), overseeing all its operations.
In December 2021, the United Nations, the United States, and the European Union designated him as a global terrorist and included him in their sanctions list.
