How do we know its not a hoax like so many other so called hate crimes that happen right after a muslim atrocity? Answer: we dont! I personally will only trust a hate crime allegation if the victims are Hindus or Sikh. The perps are usually too stupid to be able to tell the difference any way, and given that Hindu and Sikh populations are as large as Muslim populations in the west, it figures that statistically, we should hear about a similar number of hate crimes from these communities as well.

The reality that we dont implies that a large fraction of the hate crimes we hear about in the immediate aftermath of muslim atrocities are hoaxes and an effort to insert muslim victimhood into a news cycle dominated by muslim violence.

Two articles explain the (sorry) state of affairs in the education sector of Pakiland

Should we double the education budget, or seek 100pc literacy?

IMO, the headline is more of a hype and "feel good" news !

The reality :

Pakistan has doubled its budget in recent years, but enrollment has stagnated. As a result of the inefficient use of funds, access to quality education for children across the country stands compromised. The farticle does not make any mention of ghost schools, ghost teachers and of course the "attraction" of madrassah education, where in lieu of "free tuition, free room and board ", the young minds are indoctrinated and after their "education" are ready to "do jihad" in Kashmir, Iraq , Syria or wherever their handlers decide to send them off !

Paki Flip-Flop On Joining Saudi led Muslim NATO .

Pakistan draws redlines for joining Saudi alliance

The Express Tribune > Pakistan

ISLAMABAD:
Pakistan has decided to draw certain ‘redlines’ ( what does this buzz word mean !) for becoming part of the Saudi-led Islamic Military Alliance against Terrorism (IMAT) in an effort to avoid the negative fallout of its participation in the initiative that has potential to undermine ties with neighbouring Iran (tube light movement ).

It was thought that the government had already joined the alliance when in April it granted permission to former army chief General (retd) Raheel Sharif to lead the 41-nation counter-terrorism alliance.
Officials, however, clarified that the final decision had not yet been taken. What compelled Pakistan to have a second thought was the recent Arab Islamic-US summit in Riyadh where statements from Saudi authorities suggested that the alliance was meant to counter Iran as well as fighting terrorism. Pakistan, Ganja and Raheel ( who now appears alienated from his million plus job ) knew all along that the alliance is probably directed against Iran. They just went along, not to "offend" , their master , Saudia ; Ganja was of course shabbily treated in S.A. after the hype that was earlier created ( that he is going to meet POTUS; that he will be addressing the summit etc etc !). And of course , the last week Paki F.O. statement that the Saudi King apologized ( to soothe the H&D ) can be filed under "fake news" ! Saudis do not apologize to nations like Pakistan !!

In order to avoid any strain with Iran, Pakistan pushed for mediation between Tehran and Riyadh. Islamabad even mooted the idea of inclusion of Iran in the alliance.However, all those efforts could not succeed since Saudi Arabia and Iran have serious differences on regional disputes particularly the current hotspots in Middle East.Main opposition parties—Tehreek-e-Insaf and Pakistan Peoples Party—have been calling for maintaining ‘neutrality’ in Arab-Iran rivalry. But given longstanding strategic relationship with Saudi Arabia, Pakistan is unlikely to completely withdraw from the alliance. Nevertheless, its participation would only remain confined to counter-terrorism efforts, officials stressed. The Iranis now are not going to buy the Paki story of neutrality . They know for sure that the Pakis are in the Saudi camp

Was Raheel sharif kicked out?
The islamic conference is done, the weapons deals are done.
The only possible reason for hiring Raheel was that KSA must have been hoping for some bums to be brought into the alliance
Why did Badmash Sharif think, he was going to share the Podium with Mr Trump and Saudi King hain ji? Pakistan knew (or thought) that they were going to be feted as the wahid musalmaan atami kuwwat. Instead, they were slapped around and shown their true aukaat.

All this, "Bakistan-luvs-Iran", and "KSA-Iran ==" is bokwaas. Don't believe one word of this $hit.

Pakistan is sulking because Badmash got slapped around, Raheel prolly had a falling out with the Royal Princes, and probably got called a bloody gulam, or words to that effect by the Saudis, and so the whole establishment is miffed and in a full blown sulk mode.
Worse, the current COAS is untouchable for the Saudis due to certain 'sensitive' reasons

Aam Abduls Of Karachi : Power- Less And Water - Less In The Holy Month Of Ramzan

Power breakdown hits Karachi's water supply
Dawn
KARACHI: A massive power breakdown in the K-Electric’s network badly affected water supply to the city which received over 150 million gallons of water on Sunday against its daily normal supply of over 500m gallons.If figures are to be believed, there is a 70% shortfall !
According to a statement issued by the Karachi Water and Sewerage Board (KSWB), the normal water supply is expected to resume on Monday morning. It said various localities of Karachi received no or less water on Sunday. The KSWB urged people to conserve water to avoid inconvenience.The statement said that owing to the power breakdown at around 2.40am on Sunday, the KWSB network collapsed as its pumping stations at Dhabeji, Gharo, Hub and Northeast Karachi and various filter plants stopped functioning. Hopefully, the Prime Minister has "taken notice", or "directed" or "ordered", which, it is hoped will "solve" the shortage.

. The power supply was partially restored to different pumping stations which started functioning between 4.45am and 5.30am. However, the Gharo pumping station was affected again as electricity supply to it was disrupted at around 8am for a couple of hours. The KWSB said it had prepared a comprehensive plan for smooth supply of water to all areas of the city during Ramazan, but it was affected on the very first day of the holy month.

Imagine what could happen , if India decides to abrogate the IWT !!!

Paki Reporter Questions Credibility Of Information In Economic Survey Of 2016-17 (Upon Which Paki Budget Based !)

Some wrong facts raise questions about Economic Survey

ISLAMABAD: Credibility of the recently launched Economic Survey 2016-17 is in question as certain claims made in the report about manpower export are not factual. The Economic Survey unambiguously announced that restriction on Pakistani visas has been lifted by the Kuwaiti government. However, the fact is that these restrictions are still there and yet to be lifted by the Kuwaiti government.

Similarly, there is a claim made in the report that Qatari government has announced 100,000 jobs for Pakistani workers but on the ground even this is not final as yet. The Paki Govt and the Deep State are in a "state of denial" . They need to understand , that in this day and age of globalization and internet access , their lies are not accepted . Those days are gone, when they used to win a war against India on paper onlee

On page 206, the Pakistan Economic Survey while referring to the present government’s steps taken to increase the export of Pakistani manpower to other countries, boasted, ”During the recent visit of Prime Minister to Kuwait the restriction on issuing of visas to Pakistani nationals has been lifted by the Kuwaiti Government.”When contacted, senior spokesman of the Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development told The News that the ministry through the Foreign Office has taken up the matter with the Kuwaiti government but so far the ban has not been lifted.

The Kuwaiti government had banned the visas for Pakistani workers after the country had serious complaints about the smuggling of drugs from Pakistan. The ban was imposed almost 17 years back but despite the lapse of such a long period none of the successive governments made any serious effort to revive employment opportunities for Pakistan manpower in Kuwait.

Not to mention that many Paki workers were deported as well, including the well-known mouthpiece of ISI- Ahmed Qureishi !

For these 100,000 jobs in Qatar for Pakistani workers, the Survey report refers to the prime minister’s Feb 2016 visit to Qatar. But the Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development told The News here on Saturday that the ministry is still discussing the issue with the Qatari government and so far not even a single worker out of the promised 100,000 has been recruited by Qatar.

[/size]
If one was to go through the budget document with a fine tooth comb, one would surely find hundreds if not thousands of lies, misrepresentations, typos. As one would say, the 2017 Budget of Pakistan, tendered by the Finance Minister of Pakistan ( AKA Chief Money Launderer Of Ganja Sharif !) is entirely based on Lahori Logic and Sialkoti Statistics

Pakistan fears Indian influence in Afghanistan, say US spy chiefs - ToI

The US intelligence community has informed Congress that Pakistan does not want heavy Indian influence in Afghanistan and will likely turn to China to offset New Delhi's sway in Kabul, the media reported on Monday.

During a recent hearing on Afghanistan at the Senate Armed Services Committee, US intelligence chiefs assessed the situation in the war-torn country, and discussed Pakistan's interests in Kabul, Pakistani newspaper Dawn reported.

The Trump administration is finalising a new policy for Afghanistan and the ongoing consultations in the White House have generated much interest in the US media and think-tanks.

Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger recently suggested resuming air strikes on terrorist targets in Pakistan.

Observers in Washington said the Trump administration might do so if terrorists targeted US military personnel and installations in Afghanistan.

"Pakistan is concerned about international isolation and sees its position through the prism of India's rising status, including New Delhi's expanded foreign outreach and deepening ties to the US," said National Intelligence Director Dan Coats, who leads a team of more than a dozen spy agencies, including the CIA and FBI.

"Pakistan will likely turn to China to offset its isolation, empowering a relationship that will help Beijing to project influence in the Indian Ocean," the Dawn quoted Coats as saying. {So, if India is stopped in Afghanistan, then Pakistan would not turn to Beijing and stop it from expanding into IOR? Do the Americans believe that?}

Coats said Islamabad had failed to curb terrorists in Pakistan and because of this failure, "these groups will present a sustained threat to the US interests in the region and continue to plan and conduct attacks in India and Afghanistan".

"Pakistan desires for Afghanistan some of the same things we want: a safe, secure, stable Afghanistan. One addition — there is no have heavy Indian influence in Afghanistan," said Defence Intelligence Director Lt General Vincent Stewart.{What is this 'heavy Indian influence'? No Indian aid? After all, that is what has been happening since 1947, hasn't it?}

"They view all of the challenges through the lens of an Indian threat to Pakistan. So they hold in reserve terrorist organisations... so that — if Afghanistan leans towards India, they will no longer be supportive of an idea of a stable and secure Afghanistan that could undermine Pakistan's interests," the General said {It is the US bowing to such open jihadi terrorism threats from Pakistan that have been the bane of Afghanistan's peace and stability. Not India. The Americans have been singing the same tune of 'paranoia of Pakistan against India', 'pincer attack by India & Afghanistan' etc. falling for Pakistani bluff and false narrative}.

Coats told the Senate committee that despite increased military efforts, the Taliban continues to make gains in Afghanistan.

Senator Joni Kay Ernst, an Illinois Republican, asked the intelligence chiefs to spell out the measures that the US would like Afghanistan's neighbours to take to help stabilise the region.

"I think certainly an evaluation of how we work with Pakistan to address the situation of the harbouring of terrorist groups would be essential to a strategy that affects Afghanistan," Coats replied.

"Because that is potentially a very disrupting situation, putting our own troops at risk and undermining the strategy of dealing with the Taliban and local groups that are trying to undermine the (Afghan) government," Coats said.

"Besides more troops, do we need to implement a different strategy on the ground in Afghanistan?" Senator Ernst asked General Stewart.

"We've got to convince Pakistan if they're harbouring any of the Haqqani network members that it is not in their interest to continue to host Haqqani network," Stewart said.

The General urged the Trump administration to work with Afghanistan's neighbours to go after the 20 terrorist organisations that were still active in the region. "They undermine not just Afghanistan, not just Pakistan, but all of the region."

Stewart also suggested "pushing" Pakistan to do more against the Haqqani network and urged US policymakers to "separate the Taliban from the Pashtun", because Pakistan wanted a Pashtun-dominated Afghanistan. {So, who rules Afghanistan has to be determined by the Pakistanis?}

"So we've got to get the conversation going again with Pakistan about their role in not harbouring any of these terrorists, helping to stabilise Afghanistan," he said.

Stewart said he believed Pakistan still had some influence in bringing Taliban to the table. "So we've got to get them to think about reconciliation, that the status quo is not in their best interest."

I feel that the Trump-administration is going to make even sillier decisions on Afghanistan & Pakistan that would put India in greater danger.

and also the sum of all their paranoid fears?? ( to borrow a hackneyed phrase )

The pakis fear that India will do to them what they have been doing all along, with impunity, to India, all these years because they, the pakis, have successfully suborned sections of the presstitute Indian press as well as our treacherous, lootyens "civil society"

We have foolishly given a lot of unnecessary leeway and allowed prime time TV face time to the rat faced paki high commissioner abdul basit.

Stock Speculators "Excited" Over Pakistan's Promotion From "Frontier Market" Status To "Emerging Market" Status !
Dawn

Brokerages brace for surge in foreign inflows - MAY 30, 2017

The gross amount of inflows is likely to be five to six times the PSX daily turnover as per the estimates of some market players.

We can expect a flow of between $300 million and $500m from passive investors/index funds over the next few days,” said Farid Khan, CEO of HBL Asset Management. “The inflow will only be in a limited number of blue-chip stocks and is unlikely to impact the broader market. Only a handful of stocks are likely to be affected,” he said. The hype

Many pragmatists suggest that the expected inflows of $300-$500m are unlikely to flood the PSX immediately after June 1. Near-term inflows from the reclassification can be about $80m. Incidentally, Pakistan’s weight in the index has been reduced to 0.10pc against the original 0.19pc pro-forma weight calculated at the time of the decision to reclassify the country into the EM. It was a ‘negative surprise’, according to Muhammad Fawad Khan at BMA Capital Management. The reality !

PS: The Paki Stock Exchange (PSX) is practically owned by Chini interests, so the expected inflow ( if it materializes !) could mostly be from Hongkong . Prudent investors cannot afford to be "excited about this development". Short Term Speculative funds mostly dominate Frontier and Emerging Markets. One day ( electronically ) in and next day ( electronically ) out. And knowing the notorious corrupt nature of the Karachi Stock Exchange , "retail investors" cannot expect to join in in the "speculative fun", where you could lose your life savings in one day !

U.S. Visas For Pakistan Fall 40%, Increase 28% For India Under Trump
Pakistan has had a significant 40 percent drop in the number of American visas granted to its nationals under the new Donald Trump administration despite not being on the list of the U.S. President’s travel ban countries.
Interestingly, the number of non-immigrant U.S. visas to Indians has increased by 28 percent in March and April this year as compared to the monthly average of the previous year, according to the monthly official data.
Non-immigrant visas granted to Pakistanis are down by 40 percent in March and April this year compared to the 2016 monthly average, a report by The News International, a Pakistani newspaper, said quoting data released by the U.S. State Department.
Pakistanis were issued 3,925 non-immigrant visas in April and 3,973 visas in March 2017 under the Trump administration.
The Obama administration in 2016 issued a total of 78,637 non-immigrant visas to Pakistanis with a monthly average of 6,553, which was 40 percent higher than the current average.
.....
Pakistan is not the only Muslim-majority country experiencing decline in non-immigrant US visas. A similar analysis of 50 Muslim majority countries reveals that number of visas issued to their nationals has also declined by 20 percent in April as compared to their monthly country average last year, the report said.
The six countries targeted by President Donald Trump's revised travel ban—Iran, Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Libya and Yemen – experienced a 55 percent decline in non-immigrant visas compared with last year's monthly average.

$1 billion China loan to retire foreign liability

ISLAMABAD: Amidst worsening external debt servicing indicators, the federal cabinet has decided to obtain $1 billion loan from a Chinese bank to retire a liability of almost similar amount – including Eurobond debt incurred during the rule of Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf.

The decision to obtain yet another major loan from a Chinese institution comes at a time when the debt servicing-related payments to China have grown almost three times during the past one year.

In its second last meeting, the federal cabinet had approved signing a foreign commercial facility agreement of $1 billion with the China Development Bank, according to official documents.

It will be the second time in the current fiscal year that the China Development Bank would extend the credit to help Pakistan meet its foreign debt-related obligations.

Earlier, the China Development Bank gave $700 million at an interest rate equivalent to 4.44% for a period of three years, showed the documents.

The fresh loan will be utilised for balance of payments and budgetary support, according to the Ministry of Finance.

While addressing the launching ceremony of the Economic Survey of Pakistan last week, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar had said that in June Pakistan would be retiring two foreign loans of $1.05 billion – including $750 million Eurobond.

Without disclosing the source of borrowing, Dar said the government had made arrangements for returning both the loans next month.

In 2007, the Musharraf government had issued 10-year bonds at a 6.875% interest rate, maturing this week.

Pakistan has been struggling to maintain its official foreign currency reserves that it has built largely by obtaining expensive foreign loans during the past four years.

The government’s failure to enhance exports and attract foreign investment complicated the matters for it. The official reserves of the SBP stood at $16.1 billion – including $3.9 billion short-term borrowings. By excluding short-term borrowings, the central bank’s reserves are around $12 billion.

From July through March of the current fiscal year, Pakistan’s external debt servicing – including interest payments – consumed $3.9 billion, according to the Economic Survey of Pakistan.

The nine-month debt servicing ate up 24.2% of our export receipts – the highest figure during the past 14 years, suggesting worsening of the external debt indicators.

Not only that, the nine-month debt servicing was equivalent to 10.3% of Pakistan’s foreign exchange earnings of this period –also the highest ratio during the last 14 years, showed the Economic Survey.

Since the size of the economy expanded this year, external debt servicing in terms of the total size of Gross Domestic Product was 1.3% of GDP in nine months.

During the last fiscal year, the debt servicing cost was 1.5% of GDP.

From July through March, Pakistan paid $893.5 million to China on account of principal amount as well as interest on that. The figure was almost 286% more than $311.5 million that Pakistan had paid to China during the last fiscal year 2015-16.

For FY2016-17, the government had budgeted $8 billion in foreign loans, but the figure may cross the $11 billion mark, sources said. If the revised borrowing plan materialises, this will be the highest-ever borrowing in a single year in the country’s history.

For the outgoing fiscal year, the government had budgeted $2 billion loans from foreign commercial banks. But the revised estimates show that the figure may go up to $3.7 billion. About 62% of foreign commercial loans – $2.3 billion to be precise – are coming from Chinese financial institutions alone.

The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China has already given $300 million at 3.94% interest rate for two years. Pakistan also hopes to receive $300 million from the Bank of China.

With fresh borrowings, the Chinese contribution in Pakistan’s official foreign currency reserves held by the SBP would increase to $2 billion.

In addition to the borrowings from China, Pakistan also obtained $315 million from the Noor Bank of the United Arab Emirates. However, the Noor Bank borrowings are relatively cheaper than the Chinese loans. The Noor Bank has given $315 million at an interest rate equivalent to 4.22% for two years.

Growing China-Pakistan Economic Corridor-related imports, decline in exports, absence of the Coalition Support Fund and slowdown in remittances have compounded the government’s external sector woes.

These factors pushed the current account deficit to $7.4 billion in the first ten months of this fiscal.

A recent report of Moody’s International has forecast Pakistan’s total external debt growing to $79 billion by the end of this fiscal.

) will be dragged into the mud as "revenge" !)

Special Assistant to the Prime Minister Asif Kirmani said his party has submitted the reservations in the Supreme Court and want free and fair trial. He said we respect the courts and any verdict by the court will be accepted. BS. Nawaz has been known to resort to violence , if he does not get his way !

PML-N leader Daniyal Aziz said PTI Chief Imran Khan is not appearing before the court. He said there is no name of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in the Panama Papers and the allegations are baseless. Nawaz Jr. "ready" to become a sacrificial goat for Abbaji's guilt

Daniyal said the court has given Imran last chance to give record of foreign funding. PML-N leader Hanif Abbasi said the Qatari and Peshawari prince ( the chappal ) both will appear before the Supreme Court of Pakistan. He said all the facts and figure will come before the nation.

Unknown men shot dead DSP, injured inspector in Quetta

QUETTA: Unknown assailants opened fire and killed Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Headquarter, while his nephew was injured today, outside a mosque on Jail Road in Quetta. The Chief Minister of Balochistan took notice (this time, it is "took notice" no enquiry ordered yet ) of the incident and sought its report. He has strongly condemned the incident. According to police, DSP Headquarter Umar Rahman along with his nephew Inspector Bilal Ahmad were going to the mosque to offer Maghrib prayers on Jail Road, when unidentified men opened fire on them, causing injuries to Umar and Bilal. They were shifted to CMH for medical treatment but DSP Umer Rahman died during the process.

PS: Is the "same gang/ miscreants " responsible, who have kidnapped the young Chini-couple last week

Jemima To The Rescue Of Her "Peshawari Prince "

Jemima tweets in support of Imran on Bani Gala residence

Jemima Goldsmith expressed support for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan Monday in the legal matter concerning his Bani Gala residence.Ex-wife of the PTI chief has declared Imran Khan’s statements ‘true’ on the micro-blogging website, Twitter.While clarifying reports of his Bani Gala house being illegal, Imran Khan said, “Paid for purchase of Bani Gala property from these earned funds remitted back to Pakistan.”His clarification came as a response to his own tweet in which he claimed, “I bought London flat from taxed legit cricket earnings in 1983; sold it in 2003 & brought funds back through legit banking channels.” Everyone in Pakiland knows that Immy and Jemima (although legally divorced ) each have a soft corner for each other !. However, IMHO, it would be foolish for Jemima to insert herself in the "dirty politics" of Pakistan to save her "Peshawari Prince". It would only give more ammunition to bigots like Maulana Diesel , who has accused the Kaptaan of being an Zionist Agent !

Earlier on Monday, Imran Khan submitted his response regarding the ineligibility case in Supreme Court. He said in his reply although the documents do not prove that the money was sent by Jemima from England, this actually is the true. Along with the money trail and details of twenty thousand pounds sent by Rashid Ali Khan, he gave the reason of not declaring his company Niazi Services Limited in Pakistan.According to the details in his reply, the amount sent from London was not public money, adding the first bank letter of Rashid Ali Khan explains about converting foreign currency into Pakistani rupee while the second letter clarifies the money was sent by his then wife Jemima. Imran Khan may well be innocent in this matter. But this is not UK justice ! This is the Paki Court System , which is usually hijacked by the person currently in power. In this case, the court has become a tool in the hands of Nawaz Sharif !

Basic logic says that you cannot 'retire foreign liability' by taking on equivalent foreign liability.

Unless, Cheen is not foreign, i.e the occupation of pureland by Cheen is already in full flow.

Aptma terms 12%-of-GDP export target ‘impossible’

LAHORE: The All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (Aptma) spokesman has said that it is impossible to achieve the export target of 12% of Gross Domestic Product, given the lackluster attitude of the government.

The target cannot be achieved by allocating a mere Rs4 billion in the new budget against the Rs180 billion Prime Minister’s Textile Package announced on January 10, 2017

Ganja Sherif has declared the Clapistani GDP for the Year 2016-2017 as US 304 Billion. He has declared a 2017-2018 Target of 12% of the GDP i.e. about US$ 37 Billion. The Textile Sector will thus have to achieve a Target (55%) of the Total Exports i.e. about US$ 18-20 Billion which seemingly is too high. Thus APTMA is in a Pickle and Squealing like Porky the Pig!
Cheers

Ganja would have planned to give special concessions to the cotton mills and the textile sector - which include his own mills.
The concessions will be tailored, so that only his own mills qualify.

Pee- Ech- Dee News Surfaces Again

HEC plans to induct 38,000 PhD teachers into varsities
The Express Tribune > Pakistan

ISLAMABAD:
The Higher Education Commission (HEC) is vying to induct 38,000 teachers with doctorate degrees into the public and private universities in line with its Vision 2025 while currently there are only 9,253 PhDs among a total of 34,444 fulltime faculty members.Details of the plan were shared during the National Consultative Conference on HEC Vision 2025 at the Convention Centre here on Monday. The 10-year ‘over’-ambitious plan, initiated in 2016, seeks to transform the higher education sector of the country.Minister for Planning and Development Division Ahsan Iqbal talked at length about the vision and how it could be materialised. Plan looks good on paper. Axact University will be given the contract.Output will be produced as soon as "funds" are remitted to the "University" .

Talking about the funding for HEC, Iqbal said it had been increased manifold during the last few years. For the new financial year, he said, the HEC development budget had been increased to Rs35 billion from Rs21.5 billion in fiscal year 2016-17. In Pakistan, talk is cheap !

Iqbal’s tall claims are contrary to what the Pakistan Economic Survey FY2016-17 has revealed. According to it, the government released Rs8 billion, out of Rs21.5 billion, to the HEC for the universities and the rest of the releases “are under process”. Obviously the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing

To the surprise of many sitting in the hall, Iqbal said, “The development budget for the HEC will be increased to Rs50 billion by next year.” In Pakistan Ministers and senior bureaucrats make "fantastic" statements all the time ( "no -loading shedding during Ramzan ", " discrimination against minorities will not be tolerated ",) but it upto someone else to figure out how to implement the "order". This bombastic announcement falls in that category !

The HEC Vision 2025 is a comprehensive document, which has been prepared after extensive deliberations and consultation with eminent academicians, policymakers, business tycoons and industry leaders. It aims to consolidate HEC’s achievements during the past few years and carry on the reform process. Where action is lacking , buzz words make up the slack !.

Praising the HEC’s performance in increasing the enrolment of students from 276,000 before its inception to 1.3 million recently, the chairman said, “It is a happy development that gender-wise enrolment has been balanced, as now the ratio of enrolment of male and female students is 52 per cent and 48 per cent respectively.” According to recent media reports ,more Paki Ayeshas are being inducted in the "security sector" ( police force, anti- terrorism units ) . Hope that they do not become "shikar" for the sex-hungry Abduls, roaming the highways and byways of Pakiland

Junior Ganja (Hussein Nawaz) Grilled By JIT :

'Hussain Nawaz is fine, ambulance came for NBP President'

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The son of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Hussain Nawaz, was interrogated by the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) for Panama case in the absence of his lawyer on Tuesday.Hussain Nawaz was interrogated at the Judicial Academy in the capital for over five hours. Some reports earlier claimed his health deteriorated during the interrogation which was later clarified otherwise.
Isloo is the capital city of conspiracy theories

In fact, an ambulance was called outside the Judicial Academy. It was later clarified that it came for the President of National Bank of Pakistan (NBP), Saeed Ahmad.

The lawyer of premier’s son initially came with him in the interrogation room, but was sent back by the JIT members. According to sources, Hussain Nawaz answered all the questions without the presence of his lawyer. JIT told his lawyer that they would ask for him if needed.

It is possible that some "heated exchanges" between the interviewer and interviewee may have occurred and the son may suggest some "recommendations" to Abbaji for implementation. ! Would it not have been prudent for Nawaz Jr to have his family doctor at his side, in the room , just in case ...... knowing that and his family (Ganja ) have a history of hypertension, high cholesterol , blood sugar etc etc all due to the rich Punjabi diet

Family sources were quoted saying Hussain Nawaz is absolutely fine, adding that he fully defended his discourse in the interrogation. The statements of NBP President were also recorded. It was told the health condition of Saeed Ahmad deteriorated due to which an ambulance was called. Is it possible that the "third degree" was "reserved for Saeed, while Hussein was handled with "kid gloves".
The JIT had earlier stated that he was requested to reappear to meet the prerequisites of what provision of justice entails in the issue. Premier’s son was ordered to submit record and record his statements during his appearance before the JIT today. It should be noted that the objection on two of the JIT members raised by premier s son was turned down by the apex court during the proceeding of Panama case.Earlier in the day, mismanagement was witnessed as soon as Hussain Nawaz arrived at the location. A security guard misbehaved with the cameraman of private TV channel. A large number of workers and PML-N leaders stayed outside the Judicial Academy for support. When is the next "drama" scheduled to start

Pakistan under UNSC scanner over nuke material supply to North Korea

The international community, it seems, continues to be unsuccessful in convincing North Korea to stop its missile tests, and according to well-placed sources in the United Nations’, this rogue nation has been quietly and consistently receiving sustained help from Pakistan when it comes to the supply of nuclear material. Pakistan is one of few countries having both a diplomatic and an economic relationship with North Korea.

To rein in countries like Pakistan, the United Nations Security Council pursuant to Resolution 1718 passed in 2006 and Resolution 2270 passed in 2016, has reportedly been investigating Islamabad’s role in allegedly supplying restrictive nuclear materials ‘Monel’ and ‘Inconel’ to North Korea.

these nuclear materials, received reportedly from China, are being diverted to Pyongyang via the Pakistan Energy Commission (PAEC). Complaints in this regard have been received at the UN headquarters over the past year in spite of the restrictions imposed on UN member states via Resolution 1718 and Resolution 2270. The UN Sanctions Committee on North Korea and its Panel of Experts (PoE), which has been monitoring the implementation of the sanctions against North Korea, has sought information from Pakistan’s Permanent Mission to the UN in New York about alleged refuelling stops made North Korea’s national carrier Air Koryo at airports in Pakistan over the last few years. As per information now available with the PoE, Air Koryo made these multiple landings at the Islamabad Airport between January 2013 and June 2016.

The last such landing is said to have occurred on May 17, 2016, i.e. much after the UN adopted Resolution 2270(2016) on March 2, 2016 to enlarge the scope of sanctions against North Korea. According to information available on the web site www.un.org, Resolution 2270 pursuant to Resolution 1718 clearly states that “All Member States are required to inspect cargo destined to or originating from the DPRK or brokered by the DPRK that is within or transiting their territories. This includes items that are being transported on DPRK flagged aircraft or vessels, transported by rail and by road, as well as the personal luggage and checked baggage of individuals entering into or departing from the DPRK that may be used to transport items the supply, sale or transfer of which is prohibited.”

Read it all...

The Pakistan-North Korea nexus
Or the role china plays in it.
The Japan Times

Even though China enthusiastically supports Pakistan’s NSG bid, Pakistan’s partnership with North Korea could derail Sharif’s aspirations of joining the nonproliferation organization. Since the 1970s, Pakistan and North Korea have cooperated extensively on the development of ballistic missile and nuclear weapons technologies. Pakistan’s strong alliance with China and the legacy of a major scandal linking the Pakistani military to North Korea’s nuclear program have prevented Islamabad from joining U.N. efforts to diplomatically isolate the North.

However, the presence of a North Korean consulate in Karachi and an embassy in Islamabad demonstrates that U.N. sanctions have not hindered diplomatic cooperation between the two.

Pakistan has maintained its ties with North Korea for two reasons. First, Pakistan’s relationship with North Korea is a powerful display of its loyalty to China. The Chinese government has tacitly endorsed Pakistan’s diplomatic support for Pyongyang during a period of near-complete international isolation.

By using Pakistan as a funnel for nuclear materials entering North Korea, China could strengthen the North’s military capabilities without jeopardizing its intelligence sharing partnership with the U.S.

If Sharif were to unilaterally suspend Pakistan’s diplomatic relationship with North Korea, China could retaliate by supporting greater international scrutiny of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal

.

Second, if Sharif suspended Pakistan’s diplomatic relationship with North Korea, the Pakistani government would likely have to reopen the A.Q. Khan case for its break with Pyongyang to appear credible. An investigation of Khan’s North Korea links could discredit the Pakistani military’s international reputation.

So, it is china that could be forcing the pakis to share nuclear technology NK. Literally, the pakis have a tiger the tail.

A year old article but may be relevant now.
Indian spies monitor 'nuclear trade' between Pakistan and North Korea after CIA claims Islamabad is selling the rogue state nuclear materials

Indian intelligence agencies are now monitoring the nuclear trade between Pakistan and North Korea.

Indian agencies have become active after claims that nuclear missile materials are being transported by Pakistan to North Korea by sea, using cargo ships.

Agency sources said that entities from the Pakistan Energy Commission (PAEC) have been continuing to supply restricted items such as ‘Monel’ and ‘Inconel’ material to North Korea in violation of the UN sanctions.

The sources said that nuclear materials supplied to the PAEC by Chinese entities have also found their way in to North Korea.

The China Atomic Energy Authority (CAEA) recently received a written complaint that supplies from a Chinese company, Beijing Suntech Technology Company Limited, bound for Pakistan were being diverted to North Korea by the Pakistani authorities.

Can these be the same chini cargo ships that berthed at gwadar? Could this be the smoking gun?

Former Chinese nuclear engineer: ‘We’ve been transferring nuclear technology to Pakistan’

Now, insider sources in China have indicated it was Beijing that indirectly supplied North Korea by aiding Pakistan’s development of nuclear technology and gifting it critical raw materials.

China joined the Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons in 1992.

And in 2000, China pledged that it would not assist any country in developing ballistic missiles.

“Because China and India don’t get along, China assists Pakistan [in its nuclear weapons program] to oppose India,” she told NTD Television in a phone interview. “Having witnessed such irresponsible acts, I began to seriously question whether these advanced technologies would bring benefit or catastrophe to humanity.”

Pakistani nuclear arms and technology, aided by China, has ended up in North Korean hands via the black market and through Chinese corporations associated with the Communist Party.
