Kulbhushan Jadhav Was Under Stress; Wife And Mother Had To Change For Meeting: India
Mr Jadhav's wife was forced to remove her mangalsitra, bangles, bindi and her shoes were "inexplicably not given back her shoes".
News beginning to trickle in from the FO on what transpired...absolutely disgusting charade and PR stunt by Pakistan and they should be exposed thoroughly after this.

there are reports that the pakis are not disclosing the true causality figures they suffered in the attack.

Timed carefully after kulbushan's family exited pakiland??

Anyway, the promptly mounted retaliation speaks volumes for the abilities and the determination of the IA to strike, even in the face of an enemy who is vigilant, expecting retaliation and is prepared for it.

quite a change from the mickey mouse regime which always went in for full appeasement, be it with the hans or with the pakis. Now that the IA has been unshackled and most determinedly in the hunting mode, the pakis are squealing like stuck pigs because the image of the PA is taking a hit and they cannot rely anymore on Indian quislings to control the wrath of the IA.
100% in agreement that the current govt is much better than the UPA one in that regard.

However, the casualty count of 3 comes from our side, not theirs. It wouldn't have hurt us, if we did indeed kill a larger number, to publish that number instead.

Also, on the timing, I think we did the best we did, but the Pakis has the luxury of timing and the first mover advantage on this one. Their attack was cynically timed (as with most such attacks) to happen just before the visit, so that IA could not retaliate immediately and if they did the Pakis would have gone to town contrasting the "Islamic mercy" (their FO spokesperson actually said that) with our "murderous intent". Not something that we can control anyway though (their past behavior should have put us on high-alert nevertheless), so happy that the retaliation is finally happening.

something like using a sharp knife to cut a throat as opposed to using a blunt knife for the same purpose??

China, Pakistan to look at including Afghanistan in $57 billion economic corridor

BEIJING: China and Pakistan will look at extending their $57 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor to Afghanistan, Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi said on Tuesday, part of China's ambitious Belt and Road plan linking China with Asia, Europe and beyond.

China has tried to position itself as a helpful party to promote talks between Pakistan and Afghanistan, both uneasy neighbours ever since Pakistan's independence in 1947.

Their ties have been poisoned in recent years by Afghan accusations that Pakistan is supporting Taliban insurgents fighting the US-backed Kabul in order to limit the influence of its old rival, India, in Afghanistan.

Pakistan denies that and says it wants to see a peaceful, stable Afghanistan. And - of course -Pigs will Flay in Terroristan!

Speaking after the first trilateral meeting between the foreign ministers of China, Pakistan and Afghanistan, Wang said China hoped the economic corridor could benefit the whole region and act as an impetus for development.

Afghanistan has urgent need to develop and improve people's lives and hopes it can join inter-connectivity initiatives, Wang told reporters, as he announced that Pakistan and Afghanistan had agreed to mend their strained relations.

"So China and Pakistan are willing to look at with Afghanistan, on the basis of win-win, mutually beneficial principles, using an appropriate means to extend the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor to Afghanistan," he added.

How that could happen needs the three countries to reach a gradual consensus, tackling easier, smaller projects first, Wang said, without giving details.

Pakistani Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif said his country and China were "iron brothers", but did not directly mention the prospect of Afghanistan joining the corridor.

"The successful implementation of CPEC (China-Pakistan Economic Corridor) projects will serve as a model for enhancing connectivity and cooperation through similar projects with neighbouring countries, including Afghanistan, Iran and with central and west Asia," he said.

India has looked askance at the project as parts of it run through Pakistan-administered Kashmir that India considers its own territory, though Wang said the plan had nothing to do with territorial disputes.

China has sought to bring Kabul and Islamabad together partly due to Chinese fears about the spread of Islamist militancy from Pakistan and Afghanistan to the unrest-prone far western Chinese region of Xinjiang.

As such, China has pushed for Pakistan and Afghanistan to improve their own ties so they can better tackle the violence in their respective countries, and has also tried to broker peace talks with Afghan Taliban militants, to limited effect.

Wang said China fully supported peace talks between the Afghan government and Taliban and would continue to provide "necessary facilitation".

The Belt and Road infrastructure drive aims to build a modern-day "Silk Road" connecting China to economies in Southeast and Central Asia by land and the Middle East and Europe by sea.

Comments : This is a ploy by the Chinkies to convince Afghanistan to trade with India via Terroristan instead of via Cha Bahar and fill India with ISI Spies (in the garb of Truck Drivers)

Kulbhushan conundrum: the marvellous madness called diplomacy

My driver was late for work yesterday and subsequently was I. He was livid for being trapped in traffic that halted him for over 40 minutes and hundreds others who in turn bartered verbal volleys with policemen for protecting “VIPs” at the cost of public consternation. So who was the VIP, I inquired, for VIPs venture in and out of Islamabad like ants in a colony. Hamari zillat to baray log he kartay hain (only important people cause our humiliation) was his frank retort. His demeanour changed when I told him the extraordinary security was to protect the mother and wife of the Indian spy on death row as they made their way home after meeting him at the Pakistani Foreign Office. Phir to bunta hey (then it was due), he said and returned his attention to focus on the more-than-messy Rawalpindi traffic.

Kulbhushan Sudhir Jadhav met his mother, Avanti and his wife, Chetankul at the Agha Shahi block of the Foreign Office at the capital’s Constitution Avenue. The Monday meeting was no ordinary event by any standard. It is hard to predict how India would have reacted had they captured a Pakistani spy with similar credentials. Jadhav, a serving Indian Navy commander was arrested on 3 March 2016 in a counter-intelligence operation in Balochistan. Hussain Mubarak Patel was effectively his nom de guerre. During interrogation, he confessed to spying, subterfuge, subversion and sabotage. His special tasks included death and destruction in Balochistan, Sindh, Karachi and China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). As per his own words he was here “to destabilise and wage war against Pakistan.” The then DG ISPR and currently head of the Southern Command Lieutenant General Asim Bajwa had described the arrest as a “big achievement”.

Jadhav admitted to working for India’s Research & Analysis Wing (RAW). India refutes his admission and claims Jadhav was a naval office retired prematurely with no links to government and stresses his confessions might have been extracted under duress. Expecting any other explanation from a government whose officials’ statements are littered over social media professing plans to further bifurcate and debilitate Pakistan as India did in 1971 would be a fallacy.

Pakistan’s choice of picking up the Christmas Day for the Jadhavs’ meeting was indeed ingenious. The world was closed to commemorate Nativity festivities. Pakistan was closed to mark Quaid-i-Azam’s birthday. Islamabad was less chaotic from security point of view and with an otherwise dry day for want of government stories a lead would be a given for Boxing Day. Well at least in Pakistan if not in India.

The event was spiced with a pre-recorded video of Jadhav thanking the Pakistani government and a medical report by a doctor of the Saudi German Hospital in Dubai claiming he was in good health. Foreign Office spokesman Dr Mohammad Faisal also tweeted photos of the meeting as much of politics is played through Twitter and Facebook these days. Doubts were immediately raised in Delhi that the video may have been shot under duress. Credibility of the medical report was questioned too. But Jadhav looked sharp and in shape. India and Indians should have waited before firing the doubt missiles for it were they who did not agree to Jadhav’s mother and wife speaking to media and telling their story. Indian officials were also not agreeable to the idea of Indian media being present and possibly asking some painful questions.

Social media being the most unsocial platform went expectedly viral for a few hours. Most of it was angry and unreasonable. But some points of view are palatable – at least from a humanitarian or even Indian perspective. For example, Shashi Tharoor, a Congress MP in Lok Sabha from Thiruvananthapuram, described the meeting as a “step forward” but opined that “the way it unfolded was deeply unsatisfactory.”

Of course, Tharoor would not comment on the gross nature of Jadhav’s brief or the gravity and grimness of his actions but he touched on the familial emotionality of the exercise by saying, “they ( the mother and wife) could not touch him, hold him. That was emotional and painful for them. It was an unhumanitarian spirit in the way it conducted. At least we know he's alive. Let's accept that something is better than nothing.”

One wonders what would men like Mr Tharoor say to mothers, fathers, wives, siblings or children of those killed in activities conceived, coordinated and carried out by men like Kulbhushan Jadhav. Since the matter of Jadhav’s culpability and criminality lies in an international court, let's leave it at that. We know that the world court ordered Pakistan in May to delay Jadhav's execution, and said Islamabad had violated a treaty guaranteeing diplomatic assistance to foreigners accused of crimes. Pakistan authorities, in turn, say Jadhav confessed to being ordered by India's intelligence service to conduct espionage and sabotage in Balochistan. For Pakistan Jadhav plainly remains “a spy and terrorist who has been sentenced to death”.

The upshot of Christmas Day tete-a-tete is that it happened. What was discussed between a son and the mother and what a man and his wife spoke about while officials watched would remain a guessing game for now. Ideally, one must desist from such a frivolity. But this is a serious matter and would become serious still in coming days and months. Twitterati have suggested a spy swap somewhere down the line where Jadhav could be bartered for a retired Pakistani colonel who disappeared in Nepal some time ago. Who knows?

For now, Pakistan has kept a door open for future meetings between Jadhav and his family. Its spokesman has once again laid bare the facts of Jadhav’s activities in Pakistan for the world and Indians to see and stomach. It remains too early to predict how the case would progress in the international court and what would be the final outcome of this ghastly episode of blood and terror. But most Pakistanis want Jadhav punished for his sins and not let out like the notorious American Raymond Davis through a backdoor deal.

Anything on those lines would be very difficult for the military leadership to sell to the people of Pakistan as a Field General Court Martial (FGCM) sentenced Jadhav to death. The civilian governments wouldn’t dare venture into that domain. It can be suicidal. So for now, the son, the wife and the mother can find solace in the fact that they were allowed to meet each other for forty minutes. Next time it might be for a longer period of time. The legal and diplomatic niceties guarantee that Jadhav would be around for some time before….well again, who knows?

Spinning it to save their HS&D.

Three Pakistani soldiers martyred by Indian firing across LoC: ISPR
One other soldier was injured in the unprovoked incident
In November, the army chief and Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi visited the LoC and condemned the unprofessional approach by Indian forces.
Shame on you Yindoos. The paki martyrs were going about their daily business in peace and tranquility when they were unprofessionally halleled from across the LoC.

That is probably true, mainly because most humans have evolved beyond the level of a basic Paki! In the natural world, of course, such parallels do exist:

Now now now, Bart. That's not a fair analogy. Who is the parasite and who is the wasp in the pak-chini supposed symbiotic relationship. Note the operative phrase in the link:

Yes, the paki air "martial" did loudly claim that he had given orders to shoot down any intruding drones that flew over the paki territory. Is Kurram Agency paki land, under paki control and paki governance of law? No. So they did not shoot the drone down. Justice prevails.

As one of the guests on a Paki talk show pointed out, the last time such threat was made, in 2010, it was later discovered that the drones in question were actually flying out of Shamsi airbase in Pakistan! :rotfl:

The CIA might have had a good laugh at the pompous gasbag and continued flying them to their next target.

Retaliation?

Interesting that the Uniformed Jihadi’s of the Punjabi dominated Military of the Islamic Terrorism Fomenting Islamic Republic of Pakistan are spinning a cross LoC boots on the ground attack by our Military as a cross LoC firing incident :lol: :
Vips wrote:Indian Army crosses LOC to retaliate, kills three Pak soldiers.

Indian Army troops crossed over the Line of Control killing three Pakistani army soldiers and leaving one injured in a cross border raid on Monday retaliating to the death of four India army personnel including a major on Saturday. Based on ground intelligence and surveillance intelligence, agencies have identified the Pakistani soldiers killed as sepoy Sajjad, sepoy Abdul Rehman and Sepoy M Usman. The injured soldier on the Pakistani side has been identified as sepoy Athzaz Hussain.

"We got a go ahead to cross over and carry out an operation to avenge the killings of four soldiers including a major rank officer," said government sources confirming the army strike in PoK. According to a statement by Pakistan's Inter Services Public Relations, Indian forces opened fire along the Line of Control killing three of their soldiers. The raid happened in 12 Division of the 59 Balooch Unit in PoK, sources said.

This comes a day after Indian Army said one Pakistani soldier was killed in retaliation to the Pakistani Army firing killing four Indian Army personnel. ISPR said one other than the casualties one Pakistani soldier was injured. There have been frequent skirmishes on the line of Control with Pakistan Army indulging in repeated ceasefire violations. There has also been an increase in infiltration attempts from Pakistan trying to send terrorists into Jammu and Kashmir.
Meanwhile as inflicting disproportionately severe consequences on the transgressions of the Uniformed Jihadi’s of the Punjabi dominated Military of the Islamic Terrorism Fomenting Islamic Republic of Pakistan is the only message the Uniformed Jihadi’s are capable of understanding, I look forward to our Military dishing out a lot more punishment. The present level of punitive action while welcome has on this count some way to go to address the loss of Indian lives:

Army major among four soldiers killed in Pak firing on LoC : Three of the dead have been identified as Major Prafulla Ambadas Moharkar, Lance Naik Gurmail Singh and Sepoy Pargat Singh, Udhampur-based Defence Ministry spokesperson Colonel N N Joshi said.

Sirji, I would still maintain that the analogy is somewhat apt. Both sides are under delusions in this case, Pakis that the Chinese are some kind of friend and benefactor, and Chinese think that Pakis actually might have some brains that they can use to their benefit. :lol:

Behind The "Facade Of An Humanitarian Visit" :evil:

Jadhav's meeting with family 'an exercise that lacked any credibility', says Indian govt
India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Tuesday roundly criticised the meeting between Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav and his family members in Islamabad yesterday — arranged by Pakistan as a goodwill gesture — as an 'exercise that lacked any credibility'.The meeting had been granted by Pakistan to India 21 months after Jadhav's arrest on "humanitarian grounds" and as a gesture of goodwill on Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah's birthday. Firsly, the ICJ ordered Pakistan to allow the Indian Govt access, so this did not come voluntarily as a "gesture of goodwill" as is being claimed here. Secondly, as has been commented many times before, DJinnah's birthday date has been "fixed" to be on Dec 25 as a sop to its minuscule Christian minority, to celebrate Christmas without the Mullah Brigade raising objection to this UnIslamic gesture :mrgreen:
However, "We note with regret that the Pakistani side conducted the meeting in a manner which violated the letter and spirit of our understandings," India complained in a statement hours after Jadhav's wife and mother met officials at the MEA in New Delhi, where they were likely debriefed. Avanti and Chetankul Jadhav also held a three-hour-long meeting with Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj. It was staged to perceive Pakistan as a "responsible " country , adhering to international law !
During the trio's meeting — arranged at the Foreign Office in Islamabad — Jadhav had spoken to his wife and mother via an intercom from across a glass screen. Foreign Office officials and Indian Deputy High Commissioner JP Singh had monitored the encounter through another glass screen. Pakistan has claimed that the Indian Govt agreed to this "glass screen" separation :roll:
However, India complained on Tuesday that its envoy "was initially separated from family members who were taken to the meeting without informing him." These petty harassment tactics are the hallmark of the Paki mentality !
India also described "the overall atmosphere of the meeting" as "intimidating insofar as family members were concerned."Despite a "clear agreement that the media would not be allowed close access" to Avanti and Chetankul, "the Pakistani press was allowed on multiple occasions to approach family members closely, harass and hector them and hurl false and motivated accusations about Jadhav," the MEA alleged. This is another example of adding grief upon grief and violating privacy rules :evil:
Additionally, the "cultural and religious sensibilities of family members were disregarded under the pretext of security precautions" the MEA complained. "This included removal of mangal sutra, bangles and bindi, as well as a change in attire that was not warranted by security." . Mangal sutra, bangles and bindi are of course, "Hindu" symbols according to Paki Islamic lore therefore one has to ask whether Niqab or Burkha would have been more acceptable :roll:
Jadhav's mother was also prevented from speaking to him in their mother tongue, the MEA complained. "She was repeatedly interrupted while doing so and eventually prevented from proceeding further in this regard." All this proves once again, that the Pakis cannot be trusted to behave in a civil manner !
Jadhav's wife's shoes were also removed "for some inexplicable reason, despite her repeated requests... not returned to her after the meeting", the MEA claimed, adding: "We would caution against any mischievous intent in this regard."
The MEA also claimed that "from the feedback we have received of the meeting, it appears that Jadhav was under considerable stress and speaking in an atmosphere of coercion.""Most of his remarks were clearly tutored and designed to perpetuate the false narrative of his alleged activities in Pakistan. His appearance also raises questions of his health and well being," the statement read."The manner in which the meeting was conducted and its aftermath was clearly an attempt to bolster a false and unsubstantiated narrative of Jadhav’s alleged activities," the MEA said.
The FO also issued medical reports that showed Jadhav is in good health, and asserted that it was not the Indian spy's last meeting with his family. So, there is no small consolation that he is not going to be "physically eliminated". IMO, a stage is probably being prepared for his eventual exchange for a Pakistani "suddenly disappeared" from Nepal :mrgreen:

This just in...

Indian cross-LoC firing provided 'non-state actors' cover to plant IEDs: Foreign Office
Denying Indian media's reports of an alleged incursion by Indian troops across the Line of Control (LoC), the Foreign Office (FO) on Tuesday summoned the acting Indian deputy high commissioner to condemn the "unprovoked ceasefire violation" that led to three Pakistani soldiers being martyred a day earlier.
The firing by Indian forces in Rakhchikri sector of Poonch district had "provided a cover for the planting of IEDs ... by non-state actors", which resulted in the martyrdom of three soldiers
"The false claims by India about the alleged cross-LoC adventures are a figment of their imagination and counter-productive for peace and tranquility on the LoC"
The Indian side had received a "befitting response" from the Pakistani forces and their guns were silenced
So, paki mards were actually hallaled by heartless eid mubaraks planted by non-state non-marshall actors under the cover of unprovoked firing in the night by unimaginative Indian army who is actually against peaceful gestures by the benevolent pakis. And, that's that. And, we are sticking to this story for the general awaam.

Very clear that Pakistan is trying to use meeting between Kulbhushan and his family as a media spectacle not as as a humanitarian gesture but for the sake of politics.

The reflections are quite telling. There are more than three walls in the meeting rooms where KY met his family. Please note the details (multiple reflections, mirrors, cameras, the clock and other unidentified "persons" in the room).

Jadhav's meeting with family 'an exercise that lacked any credibility', says Indian govt

................. Rest Snipped ....................

Official Press Release of our Ministry of External Affairs on the visit of the Mother and Wife of kidnapped from Iran Indian National Commander Kulbhushan Jadhav who was subjected to a kangaroo court trial by the Uniformed Jihadi’s of the Punjabi dominated Military of the Mohammadden Terrorism Fomenting Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

As expected the Mother and Wife of Kulbhushan, despite prior commitments of correct behaviour, were subjected to harassment including being subjected to religious harassment that is the unfortunate lot of Kaafir Dhimmis in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan:
Statement by the official spokesperson on Shri Kulbhushan Jadhav’s meeting with his family

December 26, 2017

As you are all aware, the mother and wife of Shri Kulbhushan Jadhav met him yesterday in Islamabad. The meeting took place after requests by India for family access.

Prior to the meeting, the two Governments were in touch through diplomatic channels to work out its modalities and format. There were clear understandings between the two sides and the Indian side scrupulously abided by all its commitments.

However, we note with regret that the Pakistani side conducted the meeting in a manner which violated the letter and spirit of our understandings. This included:

i. The Pakistani press was allowed on multiple occasions to approach family members closely, harass and hector them and hurl false and motivated accusations about Shri Jadhav. This was despite a clear agreement that the media would not be allowed close access.

ii. Under the pretext of security precautions, the cultural and religious sensibilities of family members were disregarded. This included removal of mangal sutra, bangles and bindi, as well as a change in attire that was not warranted by security.

iii. The mother of Shri Jadhav was prevented from talking in their mother tongue, although this was clearly the natural medium of communication. She was repeatedly interrupted while doing so and eventually prevented from proceeding further in this regard.

iv. Deputy High Commissioner was initially separated from family members who were taken to the meeting without informing him. The meeting was started without his presence and he could join only after pressing the matter with concerned officials. Even then, he was kept behind an additional partition that did not allow him access to the meeting as agreed.

For some inexplicable reason, despite her repeated requests, the shoes of the wife of Shri Jadhav were not returned to her after the meeting. We would caution against any mischievous intent in this regard.

From the feedback we have received of the meeting, it appears that Shri Jadhav was under considerable stress and speaking in an atmosphere of coercion. Most of his remarks were clearly tutored and designed to perpetuate the false narrative of his alleged activities in Pakistan. His appearance also raises questions of his health and well being.

We also regret that contrary to assurances, the overall atmosphere of the meeting was intimidating insofar as family members were concerned. Family members, however, handled the situation with great courage and fortitude.

The manner in which the meeting was conducted and its aftermath was clearly an attempt to bolster a false and unsubstantiated narrative of Shri Jadhav’s alleged activities. You would all agree that this exercise lacked any credibility.

The "Forgotten Christian" Accused Of Blasphemy, And On "Death Row" Since 2010 .

Asia Bibi — another lonesome Christmas in prison
Kaleem Dean- Daily Times
Asia Bibi, an internationally known Christian victim of blasphemy confined in prison is facing another lonesome Christmas missing her family, children and the community. In 2016, the entire Christian world including the Pakistani Christian minority was expecting her release but exactly on the day of the hearing, Justice Iqbal Hameed-ur-Rehman recused himself from the Court bench because he believed there would be a conflict of interest; as he was also part of the court penal who decided Mumtaz Qadri’s case, and deemed it improper to be part of a bench for deciding Asia Bibi’s case.
Since then, the new hearing date was never scheduled. Unlike Pakistan, the international Christian community believes courts are not free to decide cases, especially blasphemy cases. In 2010, Asia Bibi was the first woman awarded the capital punishment of hanging to death by the Session Court Judge, Muhammad Naveed Iqbal. During the PPP government, Asif Ali Zardari, the then President of Pakistan hinted a pardon for Asia Bibi, for that Salman Taseer, the then Governor of Punjab visited Asia in the prison to gather first-hand information of the case. After his meeting with the victim, in a press conference, he criticised blasphemy laws deeming them ‘black laws’. Instead of taking steps that the blasphemy laws are not abused , the Mullahs are "demanding" further action as the Ahmedis and other non mainstream Sunni sects are also being accused !
On the other side, Justice Saqib Nisar, the present Chief Justice of Pakistan has not scheduled the hearing date for Asia Bibi, and due to this she has been left in the darkness of uncertainty. In the latest conflict between TLY and the government, once again notorious agreement between the said religious pressure group and the PML (N) government that Asia Bibi will not be sent out of the country but would be hanged according to the verdict came to the fore. This has brought more difficulties for Asia Bibi who is already confined in an 8 by 10-foot cell of prison with no windows. In spite of her deteriorating health, she is bound to cook her own meals because others may try to poison her food. On this Christmas too, she is prepared to cook a private feast for her with a hope that Supreme Court of Pakistan might consider her hearing date in near future. After the execution of Mumtaz Qadri, apparently, it will be a challenge for the Apex Court to decide against the wishes of fanatics but justice demands accuracy and professionalism and its implementation. Without a doubt, her death sentence in the first place was due to the pressure of local Muslims and their state supporters. However, the High Court while ignoring the error of law and due process in the lower courts, was determined to uphold her death sentence. The international Christian Community should take up her cause and somehow force the Paki Govt to do justice to this "poor woman" :evil:
Ashiq Masih, husband of Asia submitted an appeal for clemency to the President of Pakistan in 2014 but because of the High Court Stay Order, no action could be taken against the submission. In 2015, the Supreme Court of Pakistan suspended the sentence till the process of law is completed at the top Court. After the postponement of hearing in 2016, her case is in limbo which has exposed Asia to extreme vulnerability as at least 10 million Muslims are willingly ready to kill her because of her so-called blasphemous act.
Through the ever-growing involvement of the courts in the national administrative structure, it is obvious that marginalized sections of the society are also looking towards the Supreme Court of Pakistan. In 2018, the Christian minority of the country as well as the international community is expecting a hearing of Asia’s case. The fanatics’ equation of Asia’s blasphemy case with the execution of Mumtaz Qadri is highly illogical, the later assassinated the Governor in broad daylight and justified his actions in the service of Islam. According to criminal procedures, the state recognized him as a killer and murderer, and therefore justice was served at the end. Asia was allegedly involved in the case by her neighbour and other co-workers who later involved the local Cleric of the Mosque.
As a result, the petty issue of a sip of water from the same utensil used by her Muslim co-workers, turned into a blasphemy case. In a country where sitting and retired judges support and garland assassins like Qadri, justice for helpless communities becomes very expensive. Unfortunately, courts have never taken into account the lunatic mayhem of thousands of schizophrenic fanatics chanting for Qadri’s heroism during his hearings in the courts.
His execution proved there is no justification of the crime and equally justice should be done to a suffering soul, not in the light of mounting pressure from fundamentalist but to prove there is rule of law in the country. I hope this Christmas and New Year brings hope of life for Asia Bibi. It is a well known fact that minorities be it Christians, Hindus, Jews and even other non-mainstream Muslims cannot expected to see justice of their cause in Islamic Pakistan- This has been proven time and time again !

What stops us altering the LOC every time there is such an incident and we capture PoK territory bit by bit. I mean we should just back an operation with artillary, tanks and fighter aircraft's and warn that if they try to recapture that post. It will be considered war and IS will reply with all the might. Only this way these rats will stop such war of attrition.

Terroristan - 29 September 2017

The fall and fall of Pakistan’s economy in 2017

If 2018 is to be any better than previous years, we need to continue with an economic growth rate of above 5% for next 10 years, which would require putting social and economic development in the doctrine of “national interest”.

There were a lot of fairly good economic indicators seen in 2017, such as the following:

– An 8.5% growth in Large-Scale Manufacturing (LSM),

– An inflation rate of 3.9%,

– A super-strong growth in lending to the private sector,

– A 74.4% growth in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) worth $939.7 million,

– A 19.5% growth in the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) Tax Revenues and a double-digit growth in exports

OH! REALLY? :rotfl:

Amidst these “good” indicators, less focus was paid to the depleting foreign currency reserves and burgeoning imports.

Whether this is due to Mr Ishaq Dar being pre-occupied during the year, trying to save himself and his boss from the aftermath of the Panama leaks, or merely because the anticipated growth of imports was foreseen in a naïve manner, is a question that is behind us for now. With the grip on currency loosening, the picture alas seems to slowly be moving towards equilibrium. When the currency started slipping in December, there was no “inquiry” conducted by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), as was the case earlier in July when the government ordered SBP to look into the matter. In contrast, SBP released a statement in December saying,

“The SBP is of the view that this market-driven adjustment in the exchange rate will contain the imbalance in the external account and sustain the higher growth trajectory.”

If the SBP had released this statement in July, it would have surely avoided us a lot of negative publicity, both domestically and abroad, over the “economic fragility” of the country. Many economists, distinguished writers and federal office holders have penned down a “doomsday” scenario, while optimists, including myself, advocate this very same “fragility” as a solvable matter, and try to instil hope while pleading for better policies.

While economic data fudging, such as selling Pakistan Security Printing and liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants to other government departments, with the aim to window-dress the fiscal deficit, is not appreciated, yet it is part and parcel of a developing nation of our scale. What is not permissible, however, is negligence and taking the economic responsibility of 198 million people for granted, just because you have grass-root political streams that ensure your vote bank on the basis of baradari (status), language, ethnicity, tribal allegiance as well as emotional sympathies, derived either for leaders that are assassinated, or for leaders who are ousted by military dictators.

To illustrate, in the first quarter of the Fiscal Year 2018, over $2 billion were spent on debt-servicing and defence spending also increased, respectively. We live as a nuclear-armed Muslim nation in a hostile region, where the definition of terrorism has blurred over the past decades to suit the interests of those in power. Given our expenditures, be it our need to fence our Afghan border at a cost of $532 million, move the General Headquarters (GHQ) to Islamabad at a cost of Rs100 billion, launch a 600-tonne maritime patrol vessel (MPV) or get more JF-17 Thunders, we need more tax revenues.

The chief of army staff has also acknowledged the state of the economy, with a strategy being devised to bring more than the 125,000 armed forces personnel who are currently under the tax net. A similar move from our honourable chief justice or our prime minister, in the form of a memo to all government departments, would bring a tectonic shift in the wave against corruption and a rise of the nation.

Countries thrive when it seems obvious that the leaders – whether elected or otherwise – work with sincerity to achieve prominence in the global arena. We live in the 21st century where we compete with the likes of fast-growing, knowledge-based economies, such as those of India, China and South Korea. Innovation (entrepreneurship), coordination (redistribution of wealth between regions), greening (cleaner environment bolstering the quality of life), opening up (geopolitics forging alliances) and inclusiveness (the fruits of development with the under-developed) are five basic ingredients which we did not need to wait to copy from China’s five-year plan.

One step in the right direction would be to give greater priority to harnessing the trust of the masses over the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The government taking loans and making investments (the investments are a quasi-loan because of guaranteed returns) is acceptable as long as the net value is positive. What we need to encourage the Chinese to do is a transfer of technology and to undertake a joint venture with their Pakistani counterparts. Concessions, in the form of tax and otherwise, should be given to local players in the Special Economic Zones being set up, whereas job creation should be incentivised with tax benefits.

Political relationships also have underlying vested interests behind them. What Pakistan should do is to not just buy the security alliance of the next super power in wake of the US and India, but also learn from their economic expertise, especially as China moves towards being a more innovation-based country.

Economically, 2017 was marred with rising Current Account Deficit (CAD), standing at $5 billion in the current fiscal year – an exponential rise compared to $3.59 billion last year. Plugging the gaping hole with an additional borrowing of $3 billion from Eurobonds and Sukuk buys us breathing space, but is not the solution. The government can and will do more harm if it starts arresting the necessary rise in imports by making them more expensive through duties. At over 15 % of our gross domestic product (GDP), imports are definitely not tilted towards luxury goods for a country with a paltry GDP per capita of $1,443.

Alarmingly, our exports as a ratio of GDP reached an all-time low, and are a problem worth addressing for good. Anyone advocating a rapid 15% depreciation is perhaps overlooking the impact of that decision on:

– Rising fuel prices (RLNG is linked to oil prices),

– Potential increase in debt servicing if interest rates increase,

– Contraction in the consumption led economic growth.

If the exporters justifiably demand a level-playing field, they should be given a cost of fuel similar to that of their competitors. If the currency is let loose, translating into a creeping inflation and a 2% increase in discount rate, the additional annual interest cost burden on the exchequer would be Rs600 billion ($5.75 billion), which would put pressure on the Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) and other fiscal development programs.

If, on the other hand, the government drastically reduces the energy tariff for exporters to $6/MMBtu, the cost of such would be less than Rs90 billion ($850 million) per year, but could incrementally lead to $6-8 billion of additional dollar inflows, leading to a 2-2.7% reduction in the current account deficit. This could completely address fears of depreciation, and generate further economic activity at the cost of $850 million at 0.2% of GDP. If it doesn’t, the very dollars are then “borrowed” internationally, and the financial cost of this would nonetheless be $300-$450 million approximately.

Yes, the country is going to be load-shedding free. Yes, CPEC projects will give us the infrastructure to get our act together. The relevance of electricity in the knowledge-led economic growth is trivial yet important, just like having internet in your office so you can add value and develop IT software, performing your role in the service industry. The office-bearers must pay heed to the fact that in order to garner respect in the world, we need to grow economically. With 63% of our population comprising of youth, and 69 million aged below 15, we need to create jobs and provide them with an education.

If 2018 is to be any better than previous years, we need to continue with an economic growth rate of above 5% for next 10 years, which would require putting social and economic development in the doctrine of “national interest”. Foreign entrants, such as Hyundai, Kia, Renault, Puma Energy, Alibaba and Uber have, through their entry, acknowledged the economic potential of a nation with a young population. What is required from the policy makers is a vision to lead forward, similar to China’s five-year political, social and economic plans. And this, invariably, requires continuity in the policies and keeping the interest of the nation – the infamous “national interest” – above political and personal interests.

Here’s hoping for a better 2018! HIGH HOPES! :rotfl:

Chances are there that Bakis are trying to convert him to Muslim faith. They already prepared ground by saying that his family is thinking of conversion or has converted. Once converted they release him on humanitarian ground to show how beautiful the faith is. As simple as that.

The Mystery Of The Mrs Jadhav's Missing Shoes Miraculously Resolved - She Was "Being Used" By RAA :D

Shoes of Jadhav’s wife suspected to have metallic object, says FO
ISLAMABAD – The Pakistani authorities took the shoes Indian spy Kulbushan Jadhav’s wife was wearing upon arrival in Pakistan, giving her an alternate pair before she was sent to meet her husband, according to the Foreign Office spokesperson.According to the official of the Pakistani foreign office, Chetankul Jadhav’s shoes were taken over suspicion after authorities felt there was something fixed in them.
Chetankul’s shoes were kept for investigation, while everything else, including her jewellery was returned, the Foreign Office Spokesperson, Dr Muhammad Faisal said in a statement.As the pair of shoes is in the custody of the Pakistani authorities, it was being ascertained whether the metallic objected suspected to be fixed in them is a camera of a recording chip, stated the spokesperson. "Evidence", "once confirmed" , will be "presented" to ICJ HQ at The Hague as evidence of RAW's plans to further de-stabilize Pakistan :mrgreen:
Jadhav’s wife Chentankul and mother Avanti reached Pakistan Monday to meet him at the office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Islamabad. It was said that Chetankul and Avanti were asked to wash their faces, to clean it if they were wearing any makeup. They were also asked to remove whatever jewellery they were wearing.
The roads leading from and to the Foreign Office building were closed to traffic for the meeting. Walkthrough gates were installed outside the Foreign Office building amid strict security measures.
Commander Jadhav — an on-duty Indian navy officer working for Indian covert agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) — was arrested on March 3, 2016, from Balochistan, after he entered into Pakistan from Iran. He has been convicted of espionage and sabotage activities. :((

Paki Tailor Outfitter Gets "Yadav's Business" :roll:

Pakistan tailors new suit for Kulbhushan Yadav’s meeting with family, but Indians are not happy with it
The “guests” of Pakistan, as shared by FO spokesman Dr Faisal, were “satisfied with the meeting.” But Indians, especially the TV anchors, are not!
In this video, a TV presenter appears to be in great discomfort over the “oversized” suit the Indian spy was wearing.
While the Pakistani authorities keeps a medical report for Jadhav that shows he is in “good health” and “everything is normal”, the Indian media insists Jadhav’s body has “shrunk”.Terming the meeting a “PR stunt by Pakistan”, the news anchor maintains Pakistani authorities were “trying to show there was nobody else in the room” while keeping a close watch through CCTV. :D
Islamabad has already clarified that only Jadhav’s family members were present with him, while Indian Deputy High Commissioner J P Singh and FO officials, who were monitoring the meeting, were outside the room.“They (Jadhav and his family) spoke openly during the meeting,” Dr Faisal said during a press briefing following the meeting.
Considering the nature of crimes of Kulbushan Jadhav against humanity, majority in the country believe the Pakistani side has been courteous enough to arrange a private meeting between the Indian spy and his family, who left in an honourable fashion, before his execution. "Claws of Deep State" should be defanged ASAP :twisted:
The Indian side should now acknowledge the good treatment by Pakistan to their agent and extend their gratitude in return, not such hilarious analysis of his “oversized suits” to boost mass hysteria. The "good treatment" by Pakistan would not have happened , if there was no ICJ's big danda up Paki .... (fill in the blanks !)

RAA "Behind" Anti Pakistan Posters In NYC :roll:

Indian “Free Balochistan” campaign mocked, ridiculed in New York
NEW YORK – India has hired some apparently self claimed Baloch students living in US to start 'Free Balochistan' advertisement campaign. It plans to run a mobile drive with signs against Pakistan in Balochistan, in New York.
Days after it ran its campaign on close to 100 NYC cabs, it posted banner on a delivery truck which ran in the city.

Photoshopped or 'strategic located" to embarrass Pakiland . Your choice! :D
The objective of the campaign is to raise awareness amongst New Yorkers against Pakistan in the region.However both Pakistani and Indian community ( mole ?)have mocked such kind of cheap tactics by India to defame Pakistan. Sources (Deep State :roll:) have informed that People in New York have ridiculed such kind of activities in their city.
The most-recent campaign also raised question marks over China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. It said. "No to CPEC, the China-Pakistan project.It is reported that the NYC campaign will run for a month, during which the WBO will continue to make use of different methods of campaign against Pakistan. The Echendee factor is very important to Paki psyche . So, IMO, I expect some crude form of retaliation . Not sure, what shape or form it would be :twisted:
In recent months, India has upped its advertisement campaign in London. In October, more than 100 London buses carried adverts that say "Free Balochistan".

Irani Envoy To Pakistan Steers Clear Of "Jhadav Minefield" :D

Iran says has nothing to do with Jadhav
ISLAMABAD - Iranian parliament Speaker Dr Ali Larijani Monday said that his country had nothing to do with convicted Indian spy Kulbushan Jadhav as Tehran was committed not to allow anybody to use its soil against Pakistan.Addressing a news conference here after attending a two-day six-nation Speakers’ Conference, Larijani said Jadhav was working as a businessman in Chabahar, and Iran did not know that he was spying for India.“This is an issue between Pakistan and India. Iran has nothing to do with it. Iran remains committed to friendship with Pakistan,” he said. Pakistan wants Iran to condemn India which Iran refuses to do for obvious reasons :twisted:

Swine Flu Makes Its Debut In Islamic Pakistan. Can The Blame Be Put On The Doors Of The Game-Changer CPEC And The Influx Of Chinis With Their Non-Islamic Diet Of Polk :twisted:

Swine flu claims four lives in two weeks in Multan
At least four people have been killed due to Swine flu in Multan in two weeks while six more patients have been admitted to the hospital for tests so far.
CPEC is in "full swing" in all of Pakistan. In Multan, the Chinis are "helping" with the Multan Metro project . Imran Khan, PTI Chief has accused no less than Shahbaaz Sharif CM of Pakjab ( and Ganja's brother ) of taking his cut of commission in granting contracts to Chini companies. So, there is a "plausible possibility" , that the "swine virus" could well have been transmitted from Paki swines (kept to cater to Chini diet demands !) to Paki humans. A case can therefore be made to cover compensation under CPEC :twisted:
