Did he also go to Nepal for a high-income job?

^^^ Alternatively a repeat of the case of the retired Uniformed Jihadi who served in the Mohammadden Terrorism Fomenting Islamic Republic of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate aka ISI aka ISID, Colonel Sultan Amir Tarar (Retd.) aka Colonel Imam; that is enjoying a paid for holiday in the tribal badlands on the Af-Pak border rather than a high Iincome job in Nepal:

Pakistan's Godfather of the Taliban dies : Former Pakistani intelligence agent Sultan Amir Tarar dies in captivity 10 months after being kidnapped by militants

Then again this being a case involving a retired Uniformed Jihadi with ISI/ISID links this could very well be a case a disapperance caused by a change in status to become an Un-uniformed Jihadi

( My theory !) . Missing Army Officer, last seen in Peshawar. Peshawar borders FATA Khyber tribal Agency. Some sort of "anti-terrorism" sweeping operations being carried out there by the DEEP STATE these days. Just a few days ago, there was a report that picnickers were abducted there near Torkham border. And the "terrorists" escaped to Afghanistan. We are here referring to the "Bad Terrorists" ( ie those ones like TTP, not the good ones like LET, Jaish, and the Haqqani Group ). So, IMO, you can draw your own conclusions vis-a-vis the kidnapping of the fauji afsar

From the archives
Pakistan's Intelligence Agencies: The Inside Story

Note: This was originally published in the Herald's January 1991 issue

Over the last two decades, the role and scale of Pakistan's intelligence agencies has grown over and above their prescribed functions, to the extent that their operations, often undercover and at odds with even each other, have earned them the reputation of being a "State within a State".

On a freezing December day in Islamabad, MNA Dr Imran Farooq, ordered the maintenance staff of the MNA hostel to service his room heater. The staff took down the gas heater, only to discover a device that didn't belong there taped to its back.

Being experts at their job, the members of the bomb squad soon allayed the perturbed MNA's fears that the device was not a bomb of any sort. Instead, they said, they had discovered a powerful transmitter that was being used to bug the MQM MNA's room.

The rest of the piece contains the "usual Paki boastfulness of the powerful ISI "!

The crucial question that still needs to be addressed is whether these agencies operate under the watchful eyes of an elected government or are they still so strong that they are themselves instrumental in installing or toppling such governments.

Present evidence suggests that the civilian goberment is a puppet in the hands of the "Deep State" !

Six Frontier Constabulary personnel injured in twin blasts at Torkham

At least six Frontier Constabulary (FC) personnel and a child were injured in two consecutive explosions at the Pak-Afghan border at Torkham, security officials said on Friday.The FC personnel, who were deployed at the gate, and a passerby child received injuries as a result of the two blasts.
Following the blasts, the security forces cordoned off the area and launched a search operation in the adjoining areas. The border crossing was also closed for all types of traffic.

The nature of the blast is yet to be ascertained, the FC officials said.

Meanwhile, the injured have been rushed to the Combined Military Hospital, Peshawar, for treatment. Of course, with the media not allowed into this strategically located (Khyber) Tribal Agency, ( bordering the outskirts of Peshawar on one side, and straddling the Afghan border at Torkham on the other side ) it is difficult to know what is going on inside - "anti terrorism" operation or what, but the recent "kidnapping" of picnic goers near Torkham , the disappearance of the Army officer in Peshawar, and now this !)

Three 'terrorists' killed in suspected US drone strike near Pak-Afghan border

Not sure from the news report, whether those killed fall into the "good terrorist" category or the "bad terrorist" category . The "bad terrorist" operation is likely a "request" to the US from the Paki Administration, to do the needful. If the "good terrorists" were the "victims", then the operation is 100% exclusively planned and approved by Massa onlee

F.O. Mouthpiece ( Zakaria ) Complains About US Arms Sales To India !

US defence sales to India destabilising region: FO

ISLAMABAD - Pakistan warned Thursday that the sale of advanced military technology and equipment by the United States to India encouraged India’s aggressive military doctrine and possible military adventures.Addressing a weekly news briefing here, Foreign Office spokesperson Nafees Zakaria said that during Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Washington in June, a major deal for sale of Guardian UAVs (submarine drones) was finalised.“We had expressed our concerns on the sale of advanced military technologies to India. We believe that such sales accentuate military imbalances in the region and undermine strategic stability in South Asia. This further emboldens India to adopt aggressive military doctrines and even contemplate military adventurism,” he said. More "belt tightening" for the awaam. ! More "scope" for outsourcing vital programs ( education, health, agriculture research etc etc to NGO's and Foreign Govts !)

Zakaria said the transfer of modern military hardware and technologies, as well as repeated exceptions made for India, had disincentivised India to engage in efforts to establish a strategic restrain regime and durable security architecture in the region. The use of words, with an Orwellian twist, is astounding.

He said the preparation for the prime minister and his delegation’s visit for the UNGA session was ongoing. Regarding the foreign minister’s visit to regional countries, he said, there was a convergence of interests on many issues “including on finding a regional solution to the Afghanistan situation under Afghan-led and Afghan-owned peace initiative.” But Pakistan has always been the proverbial "bone in the meat" i.e. kabab mae haddi!

Zakaria said that it was Pakistan’s principled position that Islamabad will support all Afghan-owned and Afghan-led initiatives aimed at bringing peace and stability in Afghanistan. He said the foreign minister spoke with his Afghan counterpart to discuss bilateral relations between the two countries.

He said Afghan soil continued to be used by India against Pakistan. “The conflict in Afghanistan is persisting for around four decades, which has created ungoverned spaces there, which have become safe havens for various terrorist outfits. India is also exploiting this situation there against Pakistan,” he said.

Pakistan wants an "anti-India" regime in Kabul. The Afghan people are aware of Paki machinations . And will not allow that to happen

The spokesperson said Pakistan will continue its political, moral and diplomatic support to the Kashmiri movement. Along with "muscle and material" smuggled over the LOC !

He said Pakistan’s position on the Rohingya Muslims issue was already in the public domain. Does the "awaam" know about the ISI cadres operating there ?

Zakaria said Pakistan also supported other propositions which call the Myanmar government to take urgent measures to address this issue. “Pakistan also recently summoned the Myanmar ambassador to lodge a protest,” he said.

Hey pak lurks!! Top 10 (2017) rape capitals of the world - compared. Guess which benighted nation is at 6?

Top 10 Countries with the Highest Rape Crime Rates – 2017 List

6. Pakistan

Now, I have been trying to keep this article level. Trying to inject as little of myself into it as possible, but the fact that Pakistan is sitting here at number 6 is absolutely ludicrous to me, and a prime example of the backwards morality that passes for law in some of these countries. In places like Pakistan the victim of rape is expected to kill themselves to preserve family honor. Or they can marry their rapist. Their rural areas are under the thumb of tribal elders who sanction gang rapes against women. There was a case a few years back where a young man had consensual relations with a woman of a higher “Caste” and his sister was sentenced to gang rape by tribal village elders. The fact that she didn’t kill herself after, and instead reported it to the police, is the only reason that some of the men were charged, but since then five of the six perpetrators have gone free, and the sixth had his sentenced reduced from death to life in prison. The 28.8 per 100,000 is a joke, and the real figure is likely far closer to South Africa’s reported rate.

Pakistan Says That There Is No Afghan Taliban On Its Soil. Maulana Sami- Ul- Haq Of Akora Khattak Seminary Says That Afghan Taliban will support Pakistan against foreign Aggression.

Afghan Taliban will support Pakistan against foreign aggression: Sami

NOWSHERA: The Afghan Taliban have announced that they would support Pakistan against any threat by the Trump administration, pledging to stand by the government in case of any aggressive design pursued by the United States against the country. Surprisingly, the announcement was not made public by the Emarat Islami Afghanistan, the official name of the Afghan Taliban, and was released by Maulana Samiul Haq, chief of his own faction of the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam, from Akora Khattak where he runs his madressah. The seminary at Akora Khattack is nick named as "The University Of Jihad"

The meeting between the Afghan Taliban and Emarat Islami Afghanistan held under the banner of `Ittehad Ulema-i-Afghanistan’ was led by Mufti Mehmood Zakri. Representatives of various groups and religious organisations reportedly attended the meeting. It was not clear how those religious leaders are different from the Afghan Taliban.

Later, they sent a written statement to Maulana Haq, extending full support to Pakistan in case of an attack by the US or India. They said they would fight for Pakistan like they had rendered sacrifices for their own country [Afghanistan]. They urged Pakistani political and religious parties to shun their differences and forge unity among their ranks. By making such a statement , are they not interfering in Pakistan's internal affairs

Maulana Haq, who has been for decades known to wield influence on Taliban, has lost the position in recent years. He urged Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal to appreciate the Afghan Taliban’s announcement. There is no "love lost" between this Maulana ( who is "in bed with Imran Khan" these days, politically speaking onlee, no bacha baazi intended ) and his fellow Pashtun, Maulana Diesel AKA Fazl !

Pakistani restaurants overseas have got to stop calling themselves "Indo-Pak"/"Indian Cuisine"/"Pakistani-Indian Cuisine" ( Hurt Echendee )
I've never seen a single Indian restaurant call itself "Indian-Pakistani" cuisine. But, our Pakistani brothers have one opportunity to showcase a good side of our country (with our food) and they ruin it by making it seem "Indian". I think Pakistani food is better than Indian food and the White people who know the sub-continent's food also know that. So, why the heck do our people insist on throwing "Indian" in there? You'll never see a Palestinian restaurant call itself "Israeli" restaurant to try and appease others. How can we stop this madness?

Good Answer By A Fellow Paki !

You're not a businessman, people use "Indian cuisine" because it's an established cuisine in the west, Pakistani named restaurants don't attract much customers, though this was case 10 years ago, but I doubt much would have changed in those years. Same goes for Somalis that use "Abyssinian"/Ethiopian instead of Somali.

An airing of such content is in violation of several clauses of the PEMRA Ordinance 2002 as amended by the PEMRA (Amendment) Act 2007 and Electronic Media Code of Conduct 2015, said a press release.
PEMRA has advised all satellite channels to adhere to the code of conduct and avoid airing fake news reports and items picked from social media in order to hold the basic professional standard and their credibility. In case of non-compliance, the matter shall be dealt strictly in accordance with the PEMRA laws.

The "Hidden Karachi" Behind Closed Doors. A Foreign Reporter Is "Allowed" To Taste "Some Samples"

Whisky, clubs, music: Karachi's nightlife behind closed doors
September 11, 2015- AFP

KARACHI: Karachi, Pakistan's biggest and most diverse city, was once home to a famous nightclub scene where alcohol flowed freely and luminaries from the world of jazz played to packed crowds eager for a taste of Western culture.Today, a new generation is seeking to revive the partying traditions of their parents and grandparents ─ albeit behind closed doors.At a luxury hotel in the metropolis of 20 million ─ better known for bitter political acrimony, gang violence and bloody turf wars ─ it is after midnight and the private party has just started.In a room decorated with chandeliers, several hundred guests are letting their hair down. The music is loud and the bar is busy. Sharia punishment if the Mullahs come to know about it.

The partygoers are from a generation that tasted the freedom of a foreign university and overseas travel before returning home to Pakistan.The party was not advertised ─ and from the street you would never know it was happening. Once in a while, raids - by the vice police - probably do happen !

he golden-era began in the 1950s and rolled on until prohibition in 1977, which was followed by a slew of policies that drastically altered society. Started by ZAB to stay in power. Concession to Mullahs. Did not work !

From 1970 to 1975, sporting long hair and oversized sunglasses, Menezes' band The In Crowd was one of Karachi's most popular. The group played at the 1972 inauguration of president Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, father of Pakistan's first female prime minister Benazir Bhutto. The elder Bhutto was a regular at many of Karachi's nightspots and was known to enjoy his whisky.. Menezes, now a teacher at a Karachi business school, recalled the day of the inauguration as an "incredible piece of history".

"In the afternoon we were walking into his house to set up and there was Mr Bhutto... I was carrying an amplifier and a guitar in one hand. And I said, 'Good afternoon, sir'. And he said, 'Good afternoon'. I said, 'Sir, will there be dancing?' He said, 'I don't know but (if there is) please don't hide yourself'." Five years later, Bhutto caved in to pressure from increasingly influential Islamists and banned alcohol, before being overthrown and ultimately hanged by the military government of Ziaul Haq. Many people call Bhutto the architect of the break up of Pakiland by his refusal to let Mujib form the Govt !

Today, most parties happen behind the closed doors and high walls of private homes. "Wine shops" sell alcohol to locals, while bootleggers deliver high-end liquor to the doors of the wealthy.
An airline pilot turns his home into a club twice a month ( hope he does not attend the party before he reports for duty at airport ) for a select group of guests with Pink Floyd, the Rolling Stones and modern hits blaring out.

"This is a private place, we don't put (it) on any social media, Facebook, we don't advertise it at all. It is just between friends," he explains, as he pulls out his electric guitar to the delight of his guests. "We do not have pubs (in Pakistan), and this place is the closest to it," said a woman, as she sways to the music in the early hours. "We end the evening with friends on the beach. Will you come with us?"

FT: US weighs dropping Pakistan as an ally

US weighs dropping Pakistan as an ally
Trump administration accuses country of housing militants as relations hit new low

2 hours ago
Angry Pakistanis protesed in August against Donald Trump's accusations that the country harboured terrorists © AFP

The Trump administration is considering dropping Pakistan as an ally as it examines tough measures to quell more than 20 terrorist groups it says are based in the country.

Officials familiar with the Pakistan prong of Washington’s new “AfPak” strategy — which involves an open-ended commitment in Afghanistan and praise for India — say it has yet to be fleshed out. But they have plenty of levers.

President Donald Trump last month promised to get tough on Pakistan, accusing it of “housing the very terrorists that we are fighting”. It was the most public breach yet in an often rocky relationship.

“No US president has come out on American national television and said such things about Pakistan,” said Husain Haqqani, former Pakistan ambassador to the US.

“US policymakers are at the end of their tethers about what they see as Pakistan not helping them while promising to help them.”

The administration has already put $255m in military aid on hold after Mr Trump announced the policy shift. It is eyeing an escalating series of threats, which include cutting some civilian aid, conducting unilateral drone strikes on Pakistani soil and imposing travel bans on suspect officers of the ISI, the country’s intelligence agency. It could also revoke Pakistan’s status as a major non-Nato ally or designate it a state sponsor of terrorism.

The latter options would limit weapons sales and probably affect billions of dollars in IMF and World Bank loans, along with access to global finance.

“Thinking of Pakistan as an ally will continue to create problems for the next administration as it did for the last one,” Lisa Curtis, former CIA analyst who now leads South Asia policy in the National Security Council, wrote in a joint report with Mr Haqqani earlier this year.

Ms Curtis, who works closely with the state department, believes the Obama administration “erred” by relying on personal ties and aid packages to try to change Pakistan’s behaviour.

Mike Mullen, former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, visited Pakistan more than 25 times during his 2007-11 tenure, seeking close ties with powerful army head and former spy chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani. He became disillusioned, lambasting an Afghan Taliban group known as the Haqqani network as “a veritable arm” of the ISI.

“It was my belief and continues to be my belief that unless we had an ally that we could work together to greatly eliminate the threat then our efforts in Afghanistan were going to fail,” said Mr Mullen.

“In 2011 when we killed [Osama] Bin Laden, relations were at their worst, but on the face of it, it’s worse now just because we haven’t talked to them much.”

Some who recall being beguiled by late nights spent with military and civilian leaders over Johnnie Walker Blue Label — the expensive whisky beloved by Pakistan’s elite in the officially dry country — say even forceful private conversations regularly disappoint.

James Dobbins, special envoy in 2013-14, became frustrated by failed promises from army chief Gen Raheel Sharif to go after militant groups

“It’s very difficult to deal with an interlocutor who says he agrees with you but actually doesn’t,” he said.

“The Pakistanis originally saw the Taliban as an instrument that they could manipulate to their advantage and since view it as a monster they’ve created but can’t afford to suppress.”

The state department, which has long been reluctant to cut aid or censure Pakistan in public, and which previously pushed Mr Mullen to “tone down” his rhetoric, is adapting to the harsher line set by the White House.

“We look to the Pakistani government to take decisive action against militant groups based in Pakistan that are a threat to the region,” said a state department official, adding that it will address major concerns “privately”.

Zalmay Khalilzad, a former US ambassador to Afghanistan, applauds the tougher line. “Pakistan has reacted publicly harshly but I believe we have got their attention and this is now serious and they are making noises privately to the Afghan government about getting together to talk,” he said.

Pakistan cancelled a planned visit this month from Alice Wells, the state department official in charge of south Asia policy, in protest at Mr Trump’s announcement. But Ms Wells met Pakistan’s ambassador to the US this week and a state department official said the pair has regular contact.

Relations are expected to take a further blow from US efforts to forge closer ties with rival India. “We need to respect and trust India — they have not leaked nuclear secrets or shared sensitive nuclear technology with rogue countries,” said Tim Roemer, former US ambassador to India, a reference to Pakistan’s nuclear proliferation.

Pakistan prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said this week it is “unfair” to blame his country for troubles in Afghanistan, adding that the US should have greater respect for its efforts to combat militancy.

Ryan Crocker, former US ambassador to Pakistan in the wake of 9/11, says Pakistan resents the wild oscillations in support from the US.

“They went from our most allied of allies to our most sanctioned of sanctioned,” he said, recalling that the US worked with Pakistan to defeat Soviet Russia during the 1980s Afghanistan invasion but, once it had won, cut aid and imposed sanctions over its emergent nuclear programme.

“Their narrative about us is here today, gone tomorrow and it has deeply affected their strategic thinking.”

Here's a better one. A Mallu sold his Indian grocery store in a city nearby to a pakjabi (strong accent). The Mallu was moving to Florida and retire. His store was called "something something Indo-pak Grocery Store". The paki, changed the store's name to "something something pak-Indo Grocery store" (rhymes with pakhandi).

Pakistan´s fatal attraction to celebratory gunfire

As Pakistan erupted in ecstasy over a breathtaking cricket win against India (the pakis are going to milk this one-off event forever) this summer, five-year-old Noeen lay dying in the country´s northwest, the tiny victim of an often deadly tradition: celebratory gunfire.

Unloading a few rounds into the air is a well-established custom to celebrate weddings, religious ceremonies and sporting victories

"One can ruin the house of another unknowingly"

In the tribal northwest Pakistan´s obsession with guns is particularly visible, with firearms cheaper than smartphones and most men travelling armed. Weapons are so ubiquitous they are almost seen as jewellery.

But the time-honoured tradition has come at a fatal price.

As is stands, people caught firing guns into the air are fined up to 1,000 rupees for the offence

Pakistan have passed a raft of measures over the years banning the sale of toys resembling weapons to children. However a recent visit to Peshawar found the city´s largest bazaar full of toy replicas resembling pistols and Kalashnikovs

The government has banned the selling of toy guns, they say it distorts the minds of kids

But the kids have no other alternative, nothing else is available to play with.

"Why do people celebrate with aerial firing?" asks Noeen´s sister Warisha."If you are happy then just say thanks to Allah."

That's right. Don't give toy guns to kids. Give the nanha mujahid the real stuff. That's what a paki mard would do.

Saudi Arabia Cracks Down on Dissenting Clerics Amid Rumors of Crown Prince’s Rise to Throne

[anupmisra]

Those casteist pakjabis. Blame it on their Hindu culture (not malsi).

Punjab Notes: Caste biases — culture proves stronger than faith

Most of Punjab’s Muslims wear their faith on their sleeve in an ostentatious display of what is perceived to be piety.

In Punjab the sacred is not sacred as long as its public appearance doesn’t have an aura of sacredness.

Our culture, ancient and complex, sprouted from our own rich soil while our new faith adopted after the arrival of the Arabs and Turks had its origins in the sandy deserts of Middle East.

Our culture despite all its sophistication is a historical product of appallingly rigid caste-based hierarchies which predetermine one’s role and profession regardless of their ability and aptitude.

All this was result of insoluble conflict between the Indus valley people aka Dravidians and incoming Aryans way back in time.(Max Mueller, take a bow)

But the coexistence required a social mechanism through which all the interests of ascendant Aryans could permanently be safeguarded. The newly acquired power led them to firmly believe in their ethnic superiority and colour consciousness. They were fair-complexioned while their foes, the people they subjugated, were dark-skinned.

Not that all the Dravidians were pushed down into low castes.Class did play a role. Upper class Dravidians were given the choice to become part of the Aryan fold after fulfilling certain conditions which included ritual offerings, hefty gifts for priestly class and above all acceptance of the new socio-economic order based on iron-clad segregation, i.e. caste system.

nomadic Aryan elite wasn’t equipped with intellectual tools to run a state spread over vast swathes with large multiple urban centres.

The poorest of the poor among the Aryans forced by circumstances got merged with low castes, even with the outcastes, the untouchables.

Hence it’s not unusual to come across fair skinned Dalits and dark-skinned Brahmins in the subcontinent.

Islamic faith that Punjabis started embracing from the eighth century onwards recognises tribal identity but has no concept of caste.

How the Punjabi Muslims (not all) can afford not to share food or water with Christians or avoid physical touch with them while Islam allows marriages between Muslims and Christians/Jews is surprising.

The ugly and inhuman practice of declaring poor Christians pariahs and treating them accordingly has its roots in culture. (That's right. My evil Hindu ancestry made me do it)

The poor Christians who are disgraced, humiliated, beaten for a negligible offence, mostly for no offence at all, are descendants of the Raj era converts from the low castes or from the strata outside the castes.

Muslim Punjabis treat them as scum though it’s upper castes and classes which create filth.

Punjabi Muslims simply put their faith aside that rejects caste system when it comes to exploiting caste biases to their advantage.

The irony isn’t lost on the ones who know a bit of history; forefathers of the most of these Punjabis themselves being from the lower castes suffered similar indignities before their conversion some centuries ago.

After the conversion in a typical show of ‘slaves assuming the role of their master’ they started aping the upper castes.

Hence, that is why pakjabis are racists, bigots, and casteists. Their Yindoo origins. How does one explain the short comings in malsi? Simple - blame it on the pagan origins, again. Get it? QED.

Give this author a PhD in Social Sciences and Islam from Axact. He's earned it.

Hence, that is why pakjabis are racists, bigots, and casteists. Their Yindoo origins. How does one explain the short comings in malsi? Simple - blame it on the pagan origins, again. Get it? QED.

The solution is as always- more of and purer form of Malsi- expunged of all its pagan "imbibings".

Isn't this what TTP have been advocating all along? Shouldn't the author support their stance?

Sighting of the Mohammadden Terrorism fomenting Islamic Republic of Pakistan’s “National Bird” after a long hiatus sees Mohammadden belief thought leader loyal to the Haqqani Network one Maulvi Mohib, getting an assist to sample 72 Raisins or 72 Virgins on the Mohammadden Sabbath of Friday aka Jumma.

Looks like the Mohammadden Terrorism fomenting Islamic Republic of Pakistan has caved in to the pressure put out by US President Donald Trump and are serving up pious small fry of the Haqqani Network to appease the US:

Retired Lt Gen Floats "Trial Ballon"

Pak Army proposed plan to mainstream militant groups: Lt Gen Amjad Shuaib (retd)

A new Pakistani political party controlled by an Islamist with a $10 million U.S. bounty on his head is backing a candidate in a by-election on Sunday, in what a former senior army officer says is a key step in a military-proposed plan to mainstream militant groups. The Milli Muslim League party loyal to Hafiz Saeed - who the United States and India accuse of masterminding the 2008 Mumbai attacks that killed 166 people - has little chance of seeing its favored candidate win the seat vacated when Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was removed from office by the Supreme Court in July. But the foray into politics by Saeed’s Islamist charity is following a blueprint that Sharif himself rejected when the military proposed it last year, retired Lieutenant General Amjad Shuaib told Reuters. So, it would imply, that among other reasons, Sharif was removed from power, because he disapproved of this plan

Three close Sharif confidants with knowledge of the discussions confirmed that Sharif had opposed the “mainstreaming” plan, which senior military figures and some analysts see as a way of steering ultra-religious groups away from violent jihad. “We have to separate those elements who are peaceful from the elements who are picking up weapons,” Shuaib said. The same ole BS about the "good terrorist" ( who oppose India and do terrorism in India and Afgh ) and the bad terrorists ( who say that Pakiland is not green enough and do not accept the writ of the state )

Saeed’s religious charity launched the Milli Muslim League party within two weeks after the court ousted Sharif over corruption allegations.Yaqoob Sheikh, the Lahore candidate for Milli Muslim League, is standing as an independent after the Electoral Commission said the party was not yet legally registered.But Saeed’s lieutenants, JUD workers and Milli Muslim League officials are running his campaign and portraits of Saeed adorn every poster promoting Sheikh. With some "help" from their principal sponsor, no doubt !

Another Islamist designated a terrorist by the United States, Fazlur Rehman Khalil, has told Reuters he too plans to soon form his own party to advocate strict Islamic law.“God willing, we will come into the mainstream - our country right now needs patriotic people,” Khalil said, vowing to turn Pakistan into a state government by strict Islamic law. Whether the "liberal Paki Awaam" will buy this, is another question !

Still, hundreds of MML supporters, waving posters of Saeed and demanding his release from house arrest, chanted “Long live Hafiz Saeed! Long live the Pakistan army!” at political rallies during the past week.“Anyone who is India’s friend is a traitor, a traitor,” went another campaign slogan, a reference to Sharif’s attempts to improve relations with long-time foe India that was a source of tension with the military. So, Sharif was seen as "Pro India" . The same line that is still being mouthed by PTI and Imran Khan

Both Saeed and Khalil are proponents of a strict interpretation of Islam and have a history of supporting violence - each man was reportedly a signatory to al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden’s 1998 fatwa declaring war on the United States.They have since established religious groups that they say are unconnected to violence, though the United States maintains those groups are fronts for funnelling money and fighters to militants targeting India. Analyst Khaled Ahmed, who has researched Saeed’s Jamaat-ud-Dawa charity and its connections to the military, says the new political party is clearly an attempt by the generals to pursue an alternative to dismantling its militant proxies. So, it is just another attempt by the Jernails and the Deep State to "whitewash" Saeed and JUD to "satisfy " US. Doubt it will work !

“One thing is the army wants these guys to survive,” Ahmed said. “The other thing is that they want to also balance the politicians who are more and more inclined to normalize relations with India.”The military’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency first began pushing the political mainstreaming plan in April 2016, according to retired general Shuaib, a former director of the army’s military intelligence wing that is separate from the ISI. So, if this report is to be believed, Shuaib, the retired fauji, is a go-between between the Army and the new incarnation of LET and others !

Saeed has been under house arrest since January at his house in the eastern city of Lahore. The United States has offered a $10 million reward for information leading to his conviction over the Mumbai attacks.Then-Prime Minister Sharif, however, was strongly against the military’s mainstreaming plan, according to Shuaib and three members of Sharif’s inner circle, including one who was in some of the tense meetings over the issue. Sharif wanted to completely dismantle groups like JuD. Disagreement on what to do about anti-India proxy fighters was a major source of rancour with the military, according to one of the close Sharif confidants.

This was probably the real, reason why he was removed under the pretext of "corruption" ( which they had tolerated earlier)

U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration has threatened sanctions against members of Pakistan’s military and even raised the specter of declaring Pakistan a state sponsor of terrorism.“It will send a wrong message,” said analyst Zahid Hussain, who nevertheless thought that Saeed’s new party would have a “negligible” effect on Pakistani elections because religious parties have never won more than a few seats in parliament.Others are not so sure. Sheikh, the MML candidate in Sunday’s by-election who says he was handpicked by Hafiz Saeed, vowed to establish strict Islamic rule and “break” liberalism and secularism. ( The word "liberalism" and "securalism" have different meanings in different societies . In Pakiland, it may refer to "hard core Islami" and "soft core Islami" ) . Analyst Ahmed warned that few existing religious parties have a charismatic leader like Saeed, and Pakistan may find itself unable to control a rising tide of Islamist sentiment. “If Hafiz Saeed comes into the mainstream, it’s not that he is going to be politicized,” he added. “It’s that he is going to make politics more religious.”

Was watching Pakistani TV talk shows, post Trump saab's speech on Pakistan.

First shell shocked silence for a few days, then lots of Rona Dhona in the media, immediately followed by a lineup of faujis coming on TV claiming they have the "Jadeed-Tareen" Bum, that they will use this Bum on India one day.

I had a large LOL moment then and there.

Let the Pakistanis have solace in the fact that they will use their Jadeed-Tareen Bum some day. India is bumming them daily with its Geopolitical and Economic bum and the IA is doing decent Pak Pitai on the LOC every day
