Missing iron ore from Karnataka may be in Pakistan

CID sleuths arrived at Belekeri port on Saturday, in the wake of reports that iron ore was dispatched to Pakistan from the port.

Illegal trade between the two countries ranges between $ .5 billion to $ 3 billion, according to a rough estimate, it is reported.

Does Pakistan make sense? — II —Haider Nizamani

Those are the reasons behind Pakistan’s failure to accommodate diverse national groups within its fold. Two competing explanations are on offer: one, what Feroz Ahmed calls a “structural” explanation, argues that “it is not that Punjabis have an inherent tendency to dominate others or to usurp other people’s rights. It so happens that in a country like Pakistan, military and civilian establishments have centralised power and Punjabis happen to dominate both institutions.” The second explanation offered by analysts like Farzana Shaikh in her recent book, Making Sense of Pakistan, argues that uncertain national identity is the reason behind Pakistan’s many failings including “distorted economic and social development” to drive “nuclear-armed states to look beyond its frontiers in search of validation...Uncertainty about national identity and the lack of consensus over Islam greatly affected the country’s constitutional and political development, (and) impinged the construction of a coherent economic and social vision.”

This issue of Newsline deals with trampling of the rights of minorities in the Land of the Purest.
An interview with the HRCP Secretary General
Excerpts

Q: Is it possible to have “transparent and fair investigations” after attacks on minorities when violence and intimidation are often used as a tool by extremists to coerce the police, politicians and even the victims?

A: No. The extremists do resort to violence and intimidation to coerce the police, politicians, courts and even the victims. However, except for the victims, all others are amenable to slight pressure because they themselves are in various stages of conversion to minority-bashing.

Q: Before the attacks on the Ahmedi community in Lahore in May, authorities in Punjab were told about threats against the community but no extra protection was given. Should the Punjab government be held indirectly responsible for the slaughter and in cases like this should people file cases against the government for a dereliction of duty in the hope of setting some type of precedent?

A: Yes, the Punjab government had been warned. It can fairly be indicted for the slaughter. It is doubtful if anyone will risk his life by filing a case against the government. You have no idea of the animus against the Ahmedis: hospitals are even afraid of disclosing that they have treated the wounded Ahmedis. Try to persuade the media to call the Ahmedis killed “shaheeds” or even to stop calling them Qadianis and you will find out where you are living.

Q: What progress has been made in the fight against forced conversions and forced marriages in the case of Hindus?

A: Not much progress. In most cases efforts to recover forcibly converted and married girls fail. As a Hindu advocate puts it, the police, the courts and the community at large lack the capacity to do justice to victims. There are only a couple of exceptions over the past many years. Justice is possible where society and police have not totally given up their secular ideals.

Q: There have also been cases of land grabbing by way of destroying Hindu temples, Sikh property and Christian churches, and then occupying the land. How has the government addressed this problem and what solutions has the HRCP spearheaded?

A: Land grabbing is a national pastime. The government leads the way by seizing non-Muslim properties attached to shrines, churches, temples and public welfare trusts. The official managers of these properties are known for corruption. HRCP has not been able to adequately address this problem and it is one of the issues the newly formed HRCP working group on the rights of communities vulnerable because of belief has been asked to take up. As a matter of principle these properties should be restored to the original owners. As for trusts, their incomes must be spent on achieving the objectives their founders had set for themselves.

U.N.: Pakistan flood misery may rival tsunami, Haiti
http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2010 ... nday_N.htm

The number of people suffering from the massive floods in Pakistan could exceed the combined total in three recent megadisasters — the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake— the United Nations said Monday.

The death toll in each of those three disasters was much higher than the 1,500 people killed so far in the floods that first hit Pakistan two weeks ago. But the Pakistani government estimates that over 13 million people have been — affected 2 million more than the other disasters combined.

The U.N. has provided a lower number of people who have been affected in Pakistan, about 6 million, but Giuliano said his organization does not dispute the government's figure. The U.N. number does not include the southern province of Sindh, which has been hit by floods in recent days, and the two sides have slightly different definitions of what it means to be affected.

Another "insightful" column by Zahid Malik, the publisher of earth-e-shaster who is otherwise popularly known as PhotoChor Khan's soiled diaper.

Pak Army always aligns with Islam and Pakistan
http://pakobserver.net/detailnews.asp?id=45906

The loud mouthing off by British Prime Minister David Cameron, and that too in India, ..has.., plunged the Pakistani nation in a state of shock and dismay.

Of course, the young British Prime Minister's uncalled-for expressions have not only infuriated the public opinion in Pakistan but, in my opinion, they will also go against himself ultimately and even may hurt vital interests of the UK itself. In any case, these are bound to cause disharmony in the British society and may as well promote extremism in the UK. (note the direct threat to cause more doubledecker bus bombings in London)

This column proposes to explain as to how the Army has somewhat different perception from some of the politicians regarding security-related issues facing Pakistan, and I will also briefly mention as to why it is so.

At the outset, the answer is that historically Pak Army has Islamic orientation and it considers this as its sacred responsibility...Sometimes, I think that Islam and Pakistan are in the blood of the Army from day one i.e. since 1947.

What further inspired the Pak Army to revisit the early history of Islam and distance itself from India was ... Quaid-i-Azam on his visits to military establishments advised the Armed Forces to relate themselves with their past i.e. Islamic history. As soon as the foundation of Pakistan Military Academy had been laid, the founding fathers had to give names to the companies of the Academy. The names chosen were: Khalid (after Khalid-bin-Walid, whom the Prophet of Allah (PBUH) had given the title of 'Sword of Allah'), Tariq (who began the process of conquest of Spain, and Gibraltar Jabal-ul-Tariq still bears his name), and Qasim (Muhammad bin Qasim the young, dashing and daring commander who conquered Sindh), and a little later Salahuddin (Ayubi, of course). That naming tradition still goes on as the PMA expands. For its motto, and cap badge, they decided upon the Quranic verse; 'Nasr-um Min-Allah wa Fathuun Qareeb' which can be translated as 'With Allah's help, Victory is Imminent'. The soldiers who fought in Kashmir without any directive from any Commander or competent authority started using phrases such as 'Jehad and Ghazi'. The GHQ assigned a tactical number 786 to itself which is displayed on all military vehicles and signposts which is numerological equivalent to Bismillah.

So one can say without any doubt that with a view to drawing strength and inspiration from the glorious Islamic traditions, Pak Army made a conscious decision to turn itself into an Islamic outfit... Army's training, indoctrination and commitment to Islam and Pakistan is so deep that every soldier will shed his blood for Pakistan and will never compromise Pakistan's vital interests...I am confident that this orientation will continue for ever and will be further strengthened...Pakistan's Army has its own orientation. It is an Islamic Army and the day it ceases to be Islamic, it will not be Pakistan's Army.

Why wait for a revolution?

Considering that India donated all of five million dollars to the United States to bail out the super-rich superpower when Hurricane Katrina struck that country in 2005, could it not at least make the gesture of an offer to Pakistan? Both were more helpful to each other on previous occasions. Perhaps India and Pakistan need to learn from their respective fanatics on how to help their neighbours when the chips are down. The liberals not to mention the left are notorious for watching very meaningfully from the sidelines.

This man, Jawed Naqvi, seems to be retarded. He spews entirely bile, but at the end becomes a beggar without ethics.

[shiv]

Is this psy-ops against BJP? If not too embarrassing onlee...

Embarrassing only to people who imagine that political parties mean what they say. There have been several reports that say that not only was the ore exported to Pakistan, it was also declared as sub standard. Now maybe that was a patriotic act.

[Brad Goodman]

Why Pakistan is crucial in fight against Taliban

Prompting fury in Pakistan and criticism for his candor back in the UK, Cameron became the first western leader to formally identify the "elephant in the room;" namely that elements in Pakistan have, since 2001, been covertly supporting the Quetta Shura and Haqqani Network factions within the Taliban in their fight against ISAF and Afghan troops in Afghanistan

Cameron's comments do not form an original starting point but, in fact, are part of a gradual evolution of thought in the west that the problems in Afghanistan, India, as well as the potential global impact, are intrinsically tied to the security challenge in Pakistan.

[Brad Goodman]

Why US Can’t Drop Pakistan

With Cameron’s comments having come hot on the heels of his visit to the United States, there’s been speculation that he was merely delivering a message on behalf of Washington. But if this is the case, then Pakistan’s decision to momentarily end intelligence sharing with Britain sends a message to the White House too—that Pakistan remains the pivotal guarantor of a credible US withdrawal from Afghanistan

This was a point confirmed to me by leading analyst Ayesha Siddiqua, who told me she thought the US will continue to depend on Pakistan’s army simply because Washington doesn’t have many other options now. The US has become ever more dependent on Pakistan since publically concluding it will set a timetable for starting to withdraw its forces from Afghanistan. But by viewing Pakistan’s military establishment as the only guarantor of stability in the AfPak region, the US has arguably stoked the very situation it now finds itself in.

After Adnan Sami now groper wants to meet Lata Mangeshkar

Pak PM is Lata ’s biggest fan

Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar has been extended an invitation to visit Pakistan as a state guest by Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani.

It is an honour very few are truly worthy of. Our very own Lata tai has been invited to fly to Pakistan to meet the Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani. If things go as planned, she would soon be sitting, in all her glory, with the crème-de-la-crème of the Pakistani PM’s office.

As it turns out, a very persuasive invitation for Lataji to visit our neighbouring country has come from none other than the Pakistani Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani himself.

During a dinner meeting with singer Adnan Sami in Islamabad last week (which Mumbai Mirror reported recently), Gilani raised the question of Lataji’s long-pending visit. “She owes it to her fans in Pakistan, which includes me,” the Pakistani PM apparently told Adnan.

He then suggested that Adnan personally bring her to Pakistan as the country’s state guest.

Obviously, if Lataji visits Pakistan soon, cultural ties between the two countries would go to another level.


Confirming the invitation from Pakistan’s PM, Adnan says, “Yes, Gilani saab has invited Lataji through me. He is a huge fan of hers. So is Nawaz Sharif for that matter.”

As per Adnan’s account, during his dinner last week in Islamabad, Gilani could not stop singing Lataji’s evergreen melodies. It was after that session that the PM extended the invitation for Lataji to Adnan.

Says Adnan, “Lataji has been invited as a state guest to Pakistan. I will personally escort her and will make sure she is looked after properly like a Bharat Ratna should be. Lataji is a national treasure not only in India but also in Pakistan. Just the thought of her visit has filled Pakistani people with a feeling of elation. She must go there. I will make sure it happens.”

While Lataji is yet to take a call on this invitation, the long-standing desire of the Pakistanis to have her amongst them for just one visit, is now on its way to fulfillment.

Pak Army always aligns with Islam and Pakistan
http://pakobserver.net/detailnews.asp?id=45906

The GHQ assigned a tactical number 786 to itself which is displayed on all military vehicles and signposts which is numerological equivalent to Bismillah.

The number 786, the numerical equivalent of ‘Bismillah-ur-Rahman-ur-Rahim’ (In the Name of Allah, the Merciful and the Benificent) was prominently displayed on Army buildings, gates and vehicles, as Shuja Nawaz recalls in his book, "Crossed Swords".

Similarly, during the 1965 war, Pakistan Navy decided to bombard the non-decrepit and non-strategic town of Dwarka on the Gujarat coast since it was associated with the Hindu mythology of Mahabharat and the operation was therefore aptly code-named “Operation Somnath” symbolizing the dozens of times the marauder Ghazni pillaged the nearby and the famous Somnath temple again in Gujarat. The Army’s invasion in the same war was code-named ‘Operation Gibraltar’, referring to the Rock of Gibraltar which was named as ‘Jebel al Tariq’ by the Muslim invader Tariq bin Ziad. Similarly, the various units of the invading guerilla army forces in 1965 were named as Tariq, Ghaznavi, Salahuddin, Qasim and Khalid, all thus named after Muslim war heroes.

There are many such instances, missile names, for example.

Pakistan's friends execute pregnant widow for 'adultery'

The deputy head of the religious council for western Afghanistan, Mohammad Kabaabiani, said the execution ran counter to Islamic principles.

that is all he could come up with? Perhaps it doesn't that explains the rather mute and tame reaction...

Head of the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission in western Afghanistan, Abdul Qadir Rahimi, condemned the killing. “Any such trial is unacceptable and is a violation of human rights. All trials must take place in an authorised court observing every single measure of justice,” said Rahimi.

And this guy beats our WKKs in dhimmitude...he does not object to the 'trial' only it must be done properly...then perhaps he would be fine..

New Delhi
, Aug 9: India has sought the help of Pakistan to search for 33 soldiers, who are feared to have been washed away in the Leh flash floods caused by cloudbursts towards the Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK).


Buzz up!Jawans and three junior commissioned officers (JCOs), who were manning a post near Turtok along the Line of Control (LoC), are untraceable, a senior army officer said.


They have been missing ever since Shyok river swelled up and washed away people and erections in the surrounding area in the downpour on Friday, Aug 6.

The officer added that the Indian army has now sought the help of Pakistani authorities to help rescue the 33 personnel of 15 Bihar infantry regiment.

"The soldiers are feared to have been swept away towards PoK and we have sought help from Pakistan to trace them," the officer said.

Kidnapping for ramzan cases may rise in ramzan

Hmmm …………..

I have been studying the correlation between Fridays, the Muslim Sabbath and acts of terrorism, particularly suicide bombings targeting Muslim places of worship and/or Muslim religious events in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

I guess I will now have to start the study of the correlation between the Muslim holy month of Ramazan / Ramadan and crime in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan :

“We have observed over the years that crime in general, and especially kidnapping-for-ransom cases, increase manifold just days before and during Ramazan,” says SSP Anti Violent Crime Cell Abdullah Sheikh.

Is this a nefarious plot by the Kaafir’s of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to criminally exploit the momins who are weakened by bouts of fasting during Ramadan / Ramazan?
