PIA CEO's name removed from ECL

" German danda" and / or diplomatic pressure may been behind the "change of mind" in pursuing the so called "corruption" charges against this person from Germany.

This "casual drop by meeting" (which largely went unreported in major baki newspapers) may have resulted in the CEO's removal from the ECL.

Germany’s special envoy calls on Army Chief Bajwa

Ambassador Sabine Sparwasser, German Special Representative for Pakistan-Afghanistan called on Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa on Thursday. Matters of mutual interest including issues of regional security with particular emphasis on Pak-Afghan border management were discussed during the meeting. The visiting dignitary acknowledged Pakistan Army’s contributions towards regional peace and stability.

In bananaland, if you want anything to happen, go meet the COAS. Don't waste your time with the elected representatives. By the way, I did not know that Germany had a Special Representative for Pakistan-Afghanistan affairs. That's one heck of a powerful sub-section of the German Foreign Affairs Ministry.

Some facts on Paki Inbreeders in UK - imagine the size of problem in Porkstan
I refused to marry my cousin after the death of my baby brother and twin': The brave British-Pakistani woman who's tackling an ethnic taboo that costs the NHS millions
Finally when nothing work's, bring out the racism card from your musharraf!

‘No one dared talk about it. If you’re white, it’s seen as racist. So great is the fear of being branded racists, most of the hospitals and local authorities approached to talk about the issue refused to do so

In my opinion, we should encourage more such marriages within the pakistani community, or at worst, ignore it. There is really no need to discourage such practises.

Indian woman 'goes missing' from Indian High Commission in Islamabad, Pakistani husband claims

Foreign Office (FO) Spokesperson Nafees Zakaria on Sunday said that an Indian woman ─ married to a Pakistani man ─ who 'went missing' from the Indian High Commission in Islamabad last week is 'stranded' inside the building.Uzma, an Indian national, met Tahir Ali, a resident of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, while the latter was working as a taxi driver in Malaysia eight months ago, according to a request for help lodged at Islamabad's Secretariat Police Station by Ali.

The two contracted a court marriage on May 3 in Buner, two days after Uzma arrived in Pakistan via the Wagah border.
After the couple tied the knot, Uzma called her brother in New Delhi to relay the news to him. Her brother asked her to visit India on her honeymoon and told her she could find a man named Adnan at the Indian embassy who would be able to sort out their visas for the trip, Ali alleged.

In his request, Ali claimed, "At the Indian embassy window, she asked about Adnan. A while later, a man came out and took her inside through gate number six. I waited and waited, and then at 7pm I asked at the embassy gate if my wife Uzma was inside. They told me no one was inside."

He added that he then returned to the main gate on a shuttle bus, and noted that none of the three phones surrendered to the embassy by the couple at the time of entrance were returned to him, and his wife also remained missing.The man asked the police to help him resolve the matter.

The FO said the Indian High Commission confirmed to police and the media that the woman is present inside the building but would only be let go after the matter is discussed with the FO.Secretariat Police Station House Officer Hakim Khan confirmed he had contacted the diplomatic mission, but officials denied speaking to police, saying they would only speak to the FO.The FO added that it is in contact with the Indian High Commission, and the issue would be resolved soon.This is the Paki version of events.! Something like a spy novel. Probably, more to the story than what is reported over here !

Disgraced Paki Airline In News Again : Pilot Sleeps In Passenger Area ! Plane Handed To Trainee ! Passengers At Risk !

PIA pilot grabs some shut-eye leaving aircraft in hands of trainee

KARACHI: A couple of weeks ago, a senior pilot of the Pakistan International Airlines operating the Islamabad to London flight (PK-785) handed over the aircraft to an under-training pilot soon after the take-off and took a two-and-a-half-hour nap in the passenger compartment, compromising air safety and putting the lives of over 305 passengers at risk.

According to sources, the airline was initially reluctant to take action against the senior pilot, Amir Akhtar Hashmi, a former president of the highly influential Pakistan Air Lines Pilots Association (PALPA), but later caved in to “pressure from above”. So, "sifarish", this time, did not work

PIA spokesperson Danyal Gilani told Dawn that Capt Amir Hashmi was off from flying duty due to the investigation under way, but refused to share any further details. Probably, will be reinstated after the heat wears off and media moves on !

Sources said that on April 26, 2017 Mr Hashmi was in charge of operating the London-bound PK-785 along with first officer Ali Hassan Yazdani. Another first officer, Mohammad Asad Ali, who was under training, was also present in the cockpit. Mr Hashmi, an instructor, gets paid over Rs100,000 each month to train pilots, ( probably landed the job by sifarish in the first place . ) and was supposed to train Mr Ali during the flight. However, instead of performing his duty, Mr Hashmi went for a quick lie-down. And risking passengers' lives !

The sources said over 305 passengers — 293 in the economy class and 12 in the club class — were on board. During the journey, Mr Hashmi had left Mr Ali in control of the flight, while the regular first officer, Mr Yazdani, sat in the observer’s seat in the cockpit. Mr Hashmi apparently strolled over to the business class cabin, pulled a blanket over himself and went to sleep. Probably , partying and drinking prior to reporting on duty

The sources said that the issue would have gone unnoticed but one of the passengers saw the uniformed pilot sleeping. Upon learning about who he was, the passenger raised a hue and cry and eventually the senior purser (air hostess) had to mention his complaint in her report (flight log). Probably, just got caught this time ![/quote]

According to the sources, senior purser Nazneen Haider’s report said: “Passenger (Seat 1 D) complained that while the captain was sleeping in business class cabin, I (the passenger) do not feel safe. It had been explained that two other crew members were in the cockpit but he said that he would follow the matter and write down a complaint card as well.”
Both the first officers, in a bid to protect Mr Hashmi, had not reported the incident to the management.

Initially, the airline had tried to put off an inquiry into the incident but eventually had to succumb to pressure from concerned ministry higher-ups in Islamabad and Mr Hashmi was taken off flight duty.

This is not the first time Mr Hashmi has compromised the air safety of passengers. During his tenure as PALPA president, he had many times flown long-haul transatlantic flights without resting for the prescribed duration before the start of the journey, and gotten away with it. The international aviation authorities need to investigate this ASAP and take necessary action against this discredited carrier !

Wreckage At Isloo Bahria Enclave ! Dozens Died ! Hundreds Injured As Stage Fails ! News Blacked Out By Pakistani Media !

What Happens in Bahria, Stays in Bahria

Multi-party democratic makes it somewhat easier to identify and condemn acts of corruption in the government. For private corporations, it gets trickier.

Imagine if the seating stalls collapsed at a PTI rally, injuring hundreds of men, women, and children. A media storm may be expected follow, and not undeservedly so; with the opposition parties condemning PTI for neglecting the safety of its own supporters. News pundits and political analysts may appear on television, musing out loud about corruption within party ranks, and how its members embezzled party funds reserved for nuts and bolts meant to keep the stage and stalls sturdy enough for heavy use. All those affected, presenting with anything from a broken nail to a severed spine, would be staging a dharna within a dharna, with the blessing and legal support of rival political players. Extent of media coverage may depend on which political party is the "flavour of the month"

The same happening at Bahria Enclave, in an event organised by ARY Zindagi, barely merits a passing mention on a TV channel, it seems. This happened on 28th April 2017, unbeknownst to many. There are many reasons for this :first, the word "Bahria" conjures up "fauji connections", so anything negative about the army, navy (bahria?) and air force needs to be suppressed as it involves the H&D of Pakiland ; secondly, as reports suggested the event was organized by Malik Riaz, one of the richest man of Pakistan, who is "very thick" with the Paki fauj and his connections with top gernails and kernails- to further his business interests - of the Paki fauj is well known. The names of Kiyani , Iftikhar Chaudhry and Arsalan Chaudhry come to mind . The modus operandi is always - "you scratch my back, and I will take care of you". In the past, he has wined and dined the ExCJP and his corrupt son, and also had "cultivated the friendship of Gen Kayani and his corrupt brother. So, it makes sense to suppress the news for the "security and national defence of Pakistan"

The seating stalls, reportedly as high as two stories tall at the top, suddenly collapsed into a flat wreckage of steel and plastic, with the spectators on top of it. Hundreds were injured. The surgical staff at PIMS was said to have been placed on alert, as busloads of wounded citizens poured in. The injuries included bruises, lacerations, fractured, and spinal cord injuries resulting in paralysis for a few. If someone succumbed to these injuries – and it has indeed been reported by some sources that two have already died – you wouldn’t hear about it. The TV police ie PEMRA always steps in to "preserve the Echendee of Pakiland " !

Private corruption is much less reported, and often harder to address. Workers of Pakistani private media outlets have sometimes gone unpaid for months, or even years, without any acknowledgment by the press (at the very least, not by the media organisation responsible that has carried out the violation) . Devastating accidents have occurred due to negligence, like the road racing disaster in 2010 that killed 5 people. The Rawat area police denied permitting the event, even though the organising officials were in possession of an NOC from Bahria a Town management. So, just the name of "Bahria" , triggers all sorts of conspiracy theories, hush- hush and what not

I personally may never have learned about the recent incident at Bahria Enclave, had my own friend not been a victim. There is little reason for an accident of this magnitude – should we continue calling this a mere accident, and not an act of criminal negligence – to get naturally buried under a pile of banal news items. I myself doubted the number of affectees and the severity of their injuries, until heart-wrenching images and videos began pouring in on social media. These social media updates were hardly complimented by coverage from mainstream sources. In a "normal country" , which Pakistan is not (!) , an Enquiry would have been set up to to know the exact cause of the disaster, blame would be assigned , compensation would be paid ( Pakistan is insolvent!) and steps would be taken to ensure such things do not occur again !

According to some of the victims, the management staff not only left the site as soon as the stalls collapsed, they even shut off the lights to make it harder for the injured spectators to help themselves. Harrowing stories of women, children, and newly-wed couples having sustained severe spinal cord injuries and multiple fractures, have been heard. If there was any news item this week worthy of being reported on television under a flashing red ‘Breaking News’ sign, this was it.

Government corruption has been all over the news, and deservedly so. Corruption in the private sector, and the reckless endangerment of citizens by large corporations, either doesn’t seem to interest an average news consumer, or doesn’t get reported enough to be clearly heard by the public. I lean towards the latter. Specially , when it involves the fauj or where there is a fauji connection !

It is a tragedy that this incident occurred in Bahria enclave. What elevates this tragedy to a complete travesty is the lack of journalistic investigation and honest media reporting. Certainly all that happens within the walls of large corporations that may threaten their public image, has a propensity to stay forever out of public sight.

Pakistan’s Emerging Threat: Highly Educated Youth Gravitate to Radicalization
VOA

WASHINGTON —

The on-campus mob slaying of a journalism student and the arrest of a female medical student for allegedly planning a suicide attack underscore concerns that some of Pakistan’s highly educated youth are gravitating toward violent extremism and radicalization.Security experts say the unrelated incidents show that religious militancy isn’t limited to the disenfranchised and uneducated poor. They contend the government has to wake up to a problem that may be getting worse as the country’s conservative streak growing deeper.On April 13, a crowd in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa almost casually carried wooden planks and guns to fatally beat and shoot Mashal Khan, a 23-year-old journalism student who had been accused — falsely, as investigation later showed — of spreading blasphemy on social media.Then Naureen Laghari, a bright, 20-year-old medical student from a well-educated family in Sindh province, was arrested for allegedly planning an Easter suicide attack on Lahore’s Christian community. She had pledged allegiance to Islamic State and had traveled to Syria, where she took military training. Pakistani political observes should not be shocked by these "instances" ; first , the school system itself is religious based , so the young impressionable minds are easily steered towards Islam, the glory of Islam, and the putting down of other faiths. You also have the example of Omar Saeed Sheikh, Aafia Siddique , Khalid Sheikh Mohamed and others who "graduated" from these "schools"

Laghari is not the first example of radicalized youth to become a foot soldier for a terror outfit,” security and defense analyst Aisha Siddiqa told VOA. “She’s certainly not the last one. When there’s no place in the country where you can engage in an open debate on religion, then the only way forward is in the form of radicalization.”

Youth dominates Pakistan’s population of 200 million people, so its most important demographic group is also the most impressionable. A recent report in the Dawn newspaper indicates that education doesn’t prevent militancy: Sindh’s Counter Terrorism Department said that out of 500 militants currently held in Sindh’s jails, 64 hold a master’s degree and 70 have a bachelor’s.

“As far as education is concerned, forget about universities and colleges, look at the religious schools in very elite neighborhoods in whole of Pakistan,” said Aisha Siddiqa.Government’s challengesSecurity experts say the government has been avoiding tough decisions.“Organizations like IS are active on cyberspace and have sleeper cells, but the government doesn’t pay attention because they fear for their perception in the world,” Khadim Hussain said. “This fear has impacted the society and state badly.”Abdul Qayyum, a lawmaker and prominent member of the ruling PML-N party, denied that, telling VOA that government is aware of the gravity of the matter and is taking measures to prevent radicalization.“The government is keeping an eye on curriculum, schools, universities and religious seminaries, as well. Through continuous and vigilant monitoring, we were able to catch terrorists like Naureen Laghari before they could carry out any atrocity.”

There is no easy solution; the problem cannot be fixed in months or even years; the education system needs to be re-vamped ; the children in schools need to de- Islamicized; the power of the Mullahs needs to be curtailed ; all this may not be possible, as the Paki Army, needs the bogey of Islam and enemy country ( India ) to preserve their power !

yensoy Ji :

With all respect and reverence one has to state that the enmity of India was inculcated by Jinnah in the late Thirties-Forties and as such today India has 240-250 Million Clapistani practicing virulent hatred for India. I, for one, would even advocated sealing the India-Clapistan Border for at least 10 Years and then evaluate if any change has occurred in the Terrorist Clapistani Minds. I am sure at the end of 10 years India will keep the Border sealed for another Ten Years - at least. Rest assured that Clapistanis in General and Clappistani Muslims in Particular have nothing but Putrid and Fetid Hatred of Indians in General and Hindus, Sikhs and Jains in Particular.

Well, when the visas are blocked, that is the only time that they actually acknowledge (grudgingly) that Indian doctors and hospitals are treating thier patients. Otherwise they would be just taking advantage of that cheap (often subsidized) healthcare without even giving India any credit. So I would like the visas shut down every now and then in any case.

Indian woman 'goes missing' from Indian High Commission in Islamabad, Pakistani husband claims

I guess the high commission is telling the lady that if she stays back she will be thrown to the vultures and basically will have zero chance to visit her family back in India; or she abandons her pathan and returns home (in which case she will have to make some abuse claim to anull the marriage). Too bad for her, but these kind of cross-national marriages with Pakis should be discouraged publicly by scary news articles. Otherwise we will have more cases of the Indian bahu go to Pakiland, enjoy Paki hospitality, get Talaq and return to India with a bunch of Pakilets.

X Posted on the Managing Chinese Threat Thread

Here's how India can make light of any threat posed by hostile neighbours like China and Pakistan

In the uncertain world we live in, the 24-by-7 media tends to highlight the threats posed by India's unfriendly neighbours ganging up at a time when our strategic allies are preoccupied with their own problems. Beyond a point, no nation can control what other countries are doing or planning. The solution to these problems lies within. A country with a resilient economy, a strong level of defence-preparedness and a sound polity with a robust thrust on civil liberties would inevitably be taken more seriously by the outside world.

There are challenges for a country like India which is the world's most populous democracy. In a democratic process, it has, for instance, taken much longer to introduce even the most needed economic reforms like a nation-wide GST (Goods and Services Tax). The process can also be complicated if there are elections at different times and in different parts of the country throughout the five-year tenure of a national government. For instance, this year's Budget speech was delivered after assembly elections were notified in India's largest state of Uttar Pradesh. Hence, care had to be taken to ensure that there were no references in the Budget speech to UP.

The obvious solution would be to move to a system where elections are held simultaneously for Parliament and the state assemblies but that would require consensus among all political parties. Prime Minister Modi has gone on record that simultaneous elections would facilitate good governance. At present, assembly elections are being held almost throughout the entire five-year cycle of the national government. A sustained process of timely reforms would go a long way in consolidating India's position as the fastest-growing economy in the world.

In terms of defence-preparedness, India does not at present have a full-time minister in charge of this vital portfolio. May 26 will be the third anniversary of the day the NDA government assumed office. Manohar Parrikar was sworn-in as defence minister on November 9, 2014, and continued to hold that portfolio until March 13, 2017, when he resigned and returned to Goa as chief minister. The Union finance minister Mr Arun Jaitley was asked to look after defence from May 26, 2014 to November 9, 2014, a period of five months and 14 days. Once Parrikar returned to Goa, Mr Jaitley has again been asked to look after defence. If he continues to look after defence until May 26, 2017, for the second time (two months and 13 days since Parrikar returned to Goa), it will, in effect, mean that India has had/is having a part-time defence minister for almost eight of the 36 months since the NDA assumed office on May 26, 2014. In percentile terms, that would mean that India has had a part-time defence minister for 22% of the NDA government's tenure between May 26, 2014, and the third anniversary on May 26.

The question is not one of Mr Jaitley's competence to handle two very sensitive portfolios. The longer defence is being looked after on a part-time basis, the more questions will be asked whether there is an acute paucity of ministerial talent in the BJP-led NDA. In other democratic countries like the USA, defence is taken very seriously and President Obama made it abundantly clear that he did not see this from a partisan perspective when he asked his predecessor's choice of Defense Secretary Robert Gates to continue. And Obama hailed from the Democratic Party unlike his predecessor George W Bush who was a Republican and chose the former CIA director (and member of the Iraq Study Group Robert Gates) as his defense secretary. Likewise, President Trump has appointed the retired general James Mattis to be the Defense Secretary. General Mattis was earlier in charge of both the Joint Forces Command and the Central Command and oversaw the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Mattis is the second general officer to serve as the US Secretary of Defense after George C Marshall. In a profile published in the recent May 1/May 8 issue of Time magazine, Robert Gates rates Mattis on par with General Marshall in terms of strategic vision, appreciation of America's national interests, integrity, and commitment to protecting the USA and caring for the men and women in uniform.

In India, there are any number of retired generals, admirals and air marshals with the expertise to be appointed as the country's Minister for Defence. The Congress legacy of always having a civilian as Defence Minister has excluded all those with the required expertise from holding the portfolio of Defence Minister. In the 70 years since Independence, it has been proved beyond all doubt that India is not Pakistan where the military keeps overthrowing the elected governments.

In his policy announcements, Prime Minister Modi has demonstrated time and again that he can think out of the box and disregard convention when it is in the national interest. The need for expertise at the top of the defence ministry can be realized when we see the speed at which China is launching its indigenous range of aircraft-carriers to patrol not just the Pacific but the Indian Ocean as compared with India whose home-grown INS Vikrant is, according to media reports, expected to be fully combat-ready only by 2023. India has also lagged behind in the development of its submarine fleet and anti-submarine armaments. Even the two newest submarines are, according to media reports, cruising the seas without torpedoes!

Finally, a robust thrust on civil liberties in India would mean immediate action being taken against all those who threaten peace and harmony. For instance, while cow-slaughter is banned under the Constitution, Prime Minister Modi had, in August 2016, unequivocally condemned self-styled gau-rakshaks for taking the law into their own hands and brutally assaulting Dalits and others. There have been recent instances where even those transporting cattle on the highways have been brutally assaulted and sometimes killed. A firm response by the police to any future recurrence of vigilante action would go a long way in promoting peace and harmony which is the bedrock of every civilized society.

Cheers

[g.sarkar]

Peregrineji,
You do have Gen. V.K. Singh MP, who can be appointed as defence minister with out any delay. But he is considered to be light weight and controversial. The job is difficult and needs special talents. Sri Parrikar did a good job at PM's request, but he was never happy in that post. I hope Sri Modi will again think out of the box and appoint someone capable. On the long run we will need more retired senior military officers joining the BJP who will bring the army point of view in politics. This is the case in most democracies.
Gautam

[nam]

It is my personal view that Modi does not consider lot of people as trust worthy for a RM role. RM is part of CCS and has access to nations secrets, so a very powerful and controversial position.

I could be wrong, but RM role would probably go someone whom Modi trust really well. If there isn't one that Jaitley will most probably be retaining it or will be moved from finance.

[CRamS]

It was only a matter of time pseudo secular eunuchs invoke gau rakshaks and enmesh that with India's battle with Paki barbarians. And as I mention in the J&K thread, this pseudo secular toadies who makes this equivalence are falling right into the trap of TSP and its 3.5.

Pakistan "Made" Cars Catching Fire

Cars Are Catching Fire in Pakistan For Some Odd Reason

The build quality issues in locally manufactured cars, especially from Honda, Suzuki and Toyota, are not unknown for most of the public. We have already seen below standard build quality of the new Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla models. Fuel contamination, illiterate mechanics and cloned car parts are also commonly known facts which result in car malfunctions and accidents.During the past five days, five cars have caught fire. According to reports, each day a car catches fire while new cars feature similar burn patterns. Most of these occurrences have been reported with new cars while most accidents have taken place around Lahore.In the images and videos linked below, you can take a look at the cars which caught fire during the past five days:

Pakistan army seeks to hobble Nawaz Sharif, trip up India

NEW DELHI: The Pakistan army's aggression along the Line of Control and its assertion domestically indicate a desire to hobble the Nawaz Sharif government while upping the ante against India through heightened violence in Jammu & Kashmir.
Though Sharif 's intent to engage with India has often been subject to opportunistic inclinations, the Pakistan army's moves to step up hostilities flies against several signals Islamabad's political establishment has sent out over the last six months.

Pakistan can argue -- from its point of view -- that its repeated urgings for resumption of dialogue without conditions has been spurned by India and any deterioration in ties is only to be expected. But the provocative beheading of two Indian soldiers does not square up with Sharif 's professed desire to seriously pursue peace with India.

The Pakistan military is now openly driving policy with Sharif reduced to little more than a figurehead, his gestures like addressing the Hindu community on the occasion of Holi swept aside by a fresh wave of aggressive acts by the army under General Qamar Bajwa.

The Pakistani PM is politically hamstrung by the probe ordered by the Supreme Court into his family's alleged connections with offshore Panama accounts. With two military representatives on the inquiry panel, the court's decision -- not the first time it has acted in a political manner -- has put Sharif under a cloud. Indian observers feel that the Pakistan army does not intend to depose Sharif but will be content with allowing him to limp along till the next elections. It will take a view on who will be the "king's party" ahead of polls with indications that it sees some utility in former cricketer Imran Khan.

The reported "truce" between the military and Sharif -- over the leak of a security review in which government figures reportedly told the army that its policy of playing favourites among terrorists had caused Pakistan immense damage --is just that. It is an agreement to put the episode behind them but with the terms now loaded in favour of the army.

The beheadings were seen to serve the important purpose of "encouraging" separatists and jihadis in the Kashmir Valley.
The brutal acts were to indicate that the Indian Army is vulnerable and that violence in the Valley will be stoked to the maximum extent possible.

The Pakistan army seems to calculate that India's military options, including surgical strikes, are limited and it will not want to raise the temperature at a time when the Modi government is looking to consolidate the economy. The extremist upsurge in the Valley with Islamic State being an inspiration gives Pakistan's generals the opportunity to pump the insurgency irrespective of the huge human toll it is inflicting in Kashmir

Iran warns will hit militant "safe havens" inside Pakistan

LONDON: The head of the Iranian armed forces warned Islamabad on Monday that Tehran would hit bases inside Pakistan if the government does not confront militants who carry out cross-border attacks.

Ten Iranian border guards were killed by militants last month.

Iran said Jaish al Adl, a Sunni militant group, had shot the guards with long-range guns, fired from inside Pakistan.

The border area has long been plagued by unrest from both drug smuggling gangs and separatist militants.

"We cannot accept the continuation of this situation," Major General Mohammad Baqeri, the head of the Iranian armed forces was quoted as saying by state news agency IRNA.

"We expect the Pakistani officials to control the borders, arrest the terrorists and shut down their bases.

""If the terrorist attacks continue, we will hit their safe havens and cells, wherever they are," he said.

Iran´s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif visited Pakistan last week and asked Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to improve the border security.

Pakistan assured Iran it would deploy additional troops along its border.

In 2014 Iran warned it would send troops to Pakistan to retrieve five Iranian border guards kidnapped by Jaish al Adl.

Pakistan said at the time that such action would be violation of the international law and warned Iranian forces not to cross the border.

Iran refrained from sending the troops when a local Sunni cleric stepped in and resolved the situation.

Four of the guards were released a few months later, but one was killed by the militants.

Pakis should be proud of them selves. 3 nation now want them dead.

So let's see. Their godfather US's ally Afghanistan is an enemy, enemy Iran is also an enemy, "we are not allies" friend of US, India is also an enemy.

To top it all, taller than mushroom ally China, also wants it to not harbour it's enemies.

Pakis are reaching perfection. They will soon become like a temple bell. Anyone comes and bangs them.

Pakistan's- "50 Killed" - Boast Busted By Envoy

2 Afghan soldiers, not 50 killed: Afghan envoy rejects Pak claims

Afghanistan's top envoy to Pakistan Omar Zakhilwal on Monday rejected claims that Pakistani security forces killed 50 Afghan soldiers in retaliation to the Chaman cross-border attack, saying that only two Afghan soldiers were slain and seven others injured."Woke up to celebratory front page headlines today on all Pakistani papers saying Pakistan killed 50 Afghani soldiers and injured 100 in Chaman clash," Zakhilwal tweeted. Even if more than 2 were dead in the clash, it is still a far cry from the "boast of 50" by the Major General Of The Pakistan Army ! . Hope the Baluchistan Govt did not go further and already declare a "school holiday in the province" , to celebrate the 'victory' as it usually happens, when for instance they used to win cricket or hockey games against "enemy" India

On Sunday, Inspector General (IG) Frontier Corps (FC) Balochistan Maj Gen Nadeem Anjum claimed that 50 Afghan security personnel were killed and another 100 injured as Pakistani forces retaliated to unprovoked firing by Afghan border forces on security personnel in Balochistan's Chaman area last week.

Zakhilwal asserted that the loss of even two lives "are too many if our claim for seeking good neighbourly relations is genuine and if we mean well for each other." Peace feeler to Pakistan

It should be noted that in Sunday's briefing, the IG FC had stated: "We are not happy over their losses since they are our Muslim brothers." This is the interesting part !The Pakis always apologize, or brim with pride, whenever the opposite party in anything , belongs to the "Ummah Brotherhood"; they always claim that they would go "out of their way" - in anything - to accommodate their "Muslim Brothers". But this is all bluster . Look at their previous offer to play a "honest broker" between Saudia and Iran . What came out of it. When everything was said and done, next thing you know - " Raheel was in bed with the Saudis" , because of his post-retirement financial worries !. So, "this Islam card" is bogus

PS: What a stupid statement,the Paki jernail made about the loss! So, in his eyes, if the killed soldiers were "non-muslims", it would be justifiable !

It's the culture. These are obviously radicalized suicide mission cars.

Mission Impossible cars. They self-destruct after the paki driver "gets the message"!

This Is How One Pakistani Newspaper Is Reporting On The German Ex PIA Chief Removal From ECL

PIA’s Ex-CEO, Under Investigation for Corruption in Billions, Flees Pakistan

He flew business class in a Turkish Airlines flight on a one-time thingy for thirty days only. OK, lets count the improbable / downright insulting course of events for the pakis:

1. Flying business class (not first class, for the head of a national airlines?)
2. Turkish Airlines - the role model for every paki.
3. 30 day warranty - period. How dumb do you have to be to believe that?

Wonder who got paid and who got scammed?

Three CTD officials injured as two blasts rock Peshawar

the CTD officials were targeted when they were returning after defusing an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) found outside a girls primary school in the provincial capital

Peshe-war, huh? Must be Raa sponsored in retaliation for the pakis calling Vinod Khanna one of their own.
