Aditya, Allah the most merciful, has always been less so with Pakistan for some reason. The latest Karachi blast and that too near the Chinese consulate and more so during the Holy Month of Ramadan is a proof of His disinterestedness in the only Muslim nation created on the basis of Islam. I am sure He will help with enough material to fill the last two pages of this thread asap.

Blast Near Chinese Consulate in Karachi

Adviser to home department, Sharfuddin Memon confirmed the blast while talking to DawnNews and said that information was received of terrorist activities taking place during the month of Ramazan.

In Middle Eastern countries, and most Islamic countries, people simply sleep through the day while fasting. All work come to a grinding halt. However, the Koran says that such should not be the case as fasting cannot be an excuse for not doing normal activities. Verily, the Most Pure live up to that Koranic injunction by planting bombs as they are used to doing during other times.

This looks more like a practice shot than a genuine big hit. Either that or the attempt is to divert attention of police and TSPA since they will rush by the thousands to the site when tallel is involved, so other areas are rendered free for purification.

The worst possible is if this is a 'we are suffering onlee' kind of advance diverting tactic while some other planned activity is on the verge in kaffir yindoo land..let us hope our side is vigilant..

When will Pakistan's affair with terror end ? - G.Parthasarathy
Conclusion

Despite the circumstances under which bin Laden and his large family and entourage were living in a cantonment town, where not a bird can fly without the army’s knowledge, Pakistan still peddles the fiction that the ISI did not have a clue about the whereabouts of the world’s most wanted terrorist. Moreover, bin Laden was also public enemy No. 1 in two countries — Saudi Arabia and the US — which have sustained Pakistan financially and militarily for over five decades.

Can one, therefore, seriously believe that Pakistan will suddenly have a “change of heart” and turn over Hafiz Saeed and the perpetrators of the 26/11 outrage to India? Have we forgotten that Dawood Ibrahim, the perpetrator of the 1993 Mumbai bomb attacks in which 250 people were killed and over 700 injured, lives in plush comfort in the elite Defence Housing Society of Karachi? Members of the Babbar Khalsa, which was responsible for the assassination of Punjab chief minister Beant Singh, still roam around the Dera Sahib Gurudwara in Lahore. The use of terrorism as an instrument of state policy by the Pakistan army will end only when it finds the costs of such a policy unaffordable.

Pakistan also harbours two key lieutenants of Dawood Ibrahim, Shakeel Ahmad Sheikh, also known as Chhota [‘Little'] Shakeel, and Ibrahim “Tiger” Memon, who are also wanted by the Indian police for their involvement in the 1993 Mumbai Serial Bombing case. Another most-wanted Indian terrorist, Abdul Karim Tunda, who masterminded several terrorist attacks including the July 11, 2006 Mumbai blasts is living in Pakistan.In June 1985, two significant events happened concerning India. One was the planting of a bomb on two Air India planes in which Kanishka went down. The other was a plot to assassinate Rajiv Gandhi during his visit to the US in that very same month of June 1985. Both the terrorists, Parmar (who bombed Kanishka and the other plane) and Lal Singh (who tried to assassinate Rajiv Gandhi) fled to Pakistan where they remained safely.

Some of the Khalistani terrorists, notably members of the Babbar Khalsa group including Babbar Khalsa International chief Wadhawan Singh Babbar (he was one of the forty terrorists who was wanted by India from Pakistan and who is also involved in the 1985 Kanishka bombing) and the hijackers of several Indian Airlines planes between circa 1981 and 1984, like Gajendra Singh of Dal Khalsa and his associates, Khalistani Zindabad Force (KZF) including its chief Ranjit Singh Neeta, International Sikh Youth Federation leader Lakhbir Singh Brar who was one of the three to have placed the bomb on the plane, trained and armed by the ISI, took refuge in Lahore, Pakistan and continue to operate from there. It also includes Paramjit Singh Panjawar, the chief of Khalistan Commando Force (KCF) , who lives in Pakistan, runs terrorist training camps and actively plans and excutes terror strikes in India. Similarly, leaders of the Babbar Khalsa International and International Sikh Youth Federation who were involved in the assassination of the Punjab Chief Minister, Beant Singh, took refuge in Pakistan. Fugitive Indian Mujahideen commander Riyaz Ismail Shahbandri, also known as Riyaz Bhatkal, his brother Iqbal Shahbandri, and the bomb-maker Abdul Subhan Quereshi alias Tauqeer who together run ‘Project Karachi’ for the ISI and the LeT, also took refuge in Karachi in c. 2008. Similarly, another Indian Mujahideen commander Muhammad Zarar Siddibapa — a Karnataka resident also known by the alias Yasin Bhatkal, also took refuge in Karachi in c. 2008.

CJP's son refuses to appear before investigation team
How simple, excusing himself from an appearance. Read below the reasons.

Arsalan has excused appearing before the JIT because he had reservations with Attorney General Irfan Qadir and with the NAB investigation team.

Arsalan in his earlier petition had said that “the attorney general has misinterpreted the court’s verdict and the team formed by the NAB is illegal.”

“The chief of investigation team Kausar Iqbal has a shady past and he lives in Bahria Town…the Superintendent Police of Islamabad, who is also part of the team, was a close associate of Malik Riaz,” the petition added.

TSP negotiates with terrorists for release of Shahbaz Taseer

A senior Pakistani official says the country’s intelligence agency has been negotiating with militants over the release of the kidnapped son of an assassinated liberal politician.

It is the first official confirmation that the government is in talks with the men holding Shahbaz Taseer, . . .

Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah said during a Geo News TV program broadcast Monday that Taseer’s kidnappers are demanding a large ransom and the release of some of their colleagues.

Sanaullah said the Inter-Services Intelligence agency previously secured the release of the son-in-law of a former Pakistani army general in similar negotiations. {Didn't realize that the former CJCSC Gen. Tariq Majid's s-i-l has been released by the Purest.}

Just imagine how much easier it would be for the ISI ro send terrorists to India when the cricket matches resume. They have done it before and we know that too and yet this government is foolishly going ahead with the series and we have people buying the Aman-thro-Cricket theory.

I suspect that the headline is mischievous and a common request to ease visa norms for students is being misreported in DT as Pakistan-specific to massage H&D.
Top British businessmen have urged British Prime Minister David Cameron to remove Pakistani students from official immigration figures to avoid choking off a valuable source of wealth and skills.

The businessmen warned that visa restrictions designed to bring net immigration below 100,000 a year would deter wealthy foreigners from outside the European Union.

Among those calling on Cameron to reverse the policy are CEO WPP and Formula One Non-executive Director Sir Martin Sorrell, CBI former director general Lord Jones and Lord Bilimoria. {Is this Lordship of an Indian descent ?}

They say Britain needs “to be able to attract the best minds from around the world” and that the country needs “to send a clear message that genuine international students are welcome to study in the UK”.

The business leaders added, “They are integral to the success of British business and we must do everything we can to ensure their future contribution is not compromised.”

Sridhar,

Lord Karan Billimoria is indeed of Indian origin. He was born in Hyderabad and did his early schooling in Ooty. His father Lt. Gen. (Retd) F. N. Billimoria, PVSM, served in the Indian Army with the Gurkha Regiment and if memory serves saw action in 1971.

Cash for kidneys: Pakistan’s flourishing trade in illegal transplants

Officials at the National Human Organs Transplantation Authority, an organisation which monitors illegal kidney transplants in the country, told The Express Tribune that “as per our data compiled around a year ago, 14 out of a total of 42 illegal kidney transplant facilities were in Punjab.”

Bokhari found out that 40 people were treated this way. The racket earned around $1 million as a result.

Beggars crowd twin cities as Ramazan begins

These beggars sometimes create awkward situations by holding the arms of the people and forcing them to give money.

Damn it. Paki beggars should learn from their elites. I say every paki beggar should wear a dynamite belt and then hold begging bowl in one hand and a lighter in another.

But they are not far away. Paki beggars are slowly but surely getting there

Instead of getting donations from the people, their constant and forceful tactics sometimes irk the general public, who feel themselves attacked by their offensive behaviour.

I think beggars are stressed because of 10% tax they have to pay.

Now the Verdict is Due next week

South Asia’s water woes

KANZALWAN, India-Pakistan Line of Control (AlertNet): As the silver waters of the Kishanganga rush through this north Kashmir valley, Indian laborers are hard at work on a hydropower project that will dam the river just before it flows across one of the world’s most heavily militarised borders into Pakistan.The hum of excavators echoes through the pine-covered valley, clearing masses of soil and boulders, while army trucks crawl through the steep Himalayan mountain passes.The 330-MW dam is a symbol of India’s growing focus on hydropower but also highlights how water is a growing source of tension with downstream Pakistan, which depends on the snow-fed Himalayan rivers for everything from drinking water to agriculture.Islamabad has complained to an international court that the dam in the Gurez valley, one of dozens planned by India, will affect river flows and is illegal. The court has halted any permanent work on the river for the moment, although India can still continue tunneling and other associated projects.There is definitely potential for conflict based on water, particularly if we are looking to the year 2050, when there could be considerable water scarcity in India and Pakistan,” says Michael Kugelman, South Asia Associate at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington. ( WWIC might be just called Sister Branch of Karachi Project) “Populations will continue to grow. There will be more pressure on supply. Factor in climate change and faster glacial melt … That means much more will be at stake. So you could have a perfect storm which conceivably could be some sort of trigger.”
Water has long been a source of stress between the two countries. The line that divided them in 1947 also cleaved the province of Punjab, literally the land of five rivers – the Sutlej, Beas, Ravi, Chenab and Jhelum, all tributaries of the Indus – breaking up millenniums-old irrigation systems.India’s latest hydro plans have fanned new tensions.“Pakistan is extremely worried that India is planning to build a whole sequence of projects on both the Chenab and Jhelum rivers … and the extent to which India then becomes capable of controlling water flows,” says Feisal Naqvi, a lawyer who works on water issues.In recent years, political rhetoric over water has been on the rise in Islamabad, and militant groups such as the Lashkar-e-Taiba have sought to use the issue to whip up anti-India sentiments – accusing New Delhi of “stealing water”.India brushes off such fears as paranoia and argues the dams won’t consume or store water but just delay flows, in line with a 1960 treaty that governs the sharing of Indus waters between the two countries

An article on Najam Sethi in The Guardian

Najam Sethi, the TV star who dared take on Pakistan’s spy agency

Some nuggets

Death threats force outspoken host of chatshow Aapas Ki Baat to broadcast from converted bedroom to avoid travel into Lahore

Najam Sethi, the star of one of Pakistan‘s top rated political chatshows, does not travel far to work. For the three nights a week his programme is on air, Sethi simply opens his bedroom door and walks into a purpose-built studio.

Since January the veteran journalist has been broadcasting from the glossy, little studio because he fears his public criticism in Aapas Ki Baat (Just Between the Two of Us) of one of Pakistan’s most powerful institutions could get him killed.

Sethi began to feel seriously concerned for his safety after the US raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound last May, after he told his audience Pakistan must have been “complicit or incompetent” during the al-Qaida chief’s decade-long stay in the country.

The broadcast led to a “stormy” face-to-face confrontation with a very senior ISI official. “He accused me of everything, anti-Pakistan, anti-army, anti-everything,” Sethi said.

With the top brass apoplectic, high-level government officials warned Sethi his name had been circulated on a hit list. A kidnapping plot, he was told, had been hatched involving two militant groups with links to the ISI.

Security cameras now cover his house, which he rarely leaves. Soon he will have an armoured vehicle for his occasional forays into the city.

“The army have started to realise that with him being on such a mainstream channel with such a huge audience he is starting to influence a lot of people, young minds particularly,” Paracha said.

There is no gain for the Baloch to take part in Pakistan’s elections: Nawab Marri

Karachi: Veteran Baloch independence leader Nawab Khair Bakhsh Marri said that Pakistan’s existence on world map is possible due to American support. If America stops funding Pakistan, it will disappear from world map within one week. Now it depends on America whether it wants to keep Pakistan alive for one year or one hundred years.

The Baloch people instead of being spokespersons of their tribal entities should become a Nation – ‘Baloch Nation’. Getting rid of Pakistan’s slavery has become the destiny of Baloch nation as the world map is changing rapidly. We cannot tell exactly when the Baloch will get rid of Pakistan’s slavery but we can surely say that Balochistan will be get independence in this century.

Baloch independence leader Nawab Khair Bakhsh Marri expressed these view in an interview to a Gawadar based local journalist at his residence in Karachi. He said Balochistan was rich with natural resources and these were Baloch National property, but because of Pakistan’s occupation Baloch are forced to live in stone-age. He said a prosperous future of Baloch Nation is impossible unless they get their freedom from Pakistan.

The Baloch national leader said Pakistan is an unnatural state and it has no future, adding that “it is still surviving on world map with America’s support and whenever America stops giving charity to this country it will no longer remain on world map. Pakistan is neither a democratic country nor does democracy exist in this country.”

Since the division of India the real rulers of this unnatural state have been army generals and they are ruling it even today. Answering a question Nawab Marri said that Pakistan’s political parties whether religious or non-religious all are creation of the military. They make and break these parties; these generals are also slaves of America.

Answering another question Nawab Marri said it was nothing but waste of time for Baloch to participate in the elections of this state. “Only few opportunist politicians do the politics of elections to earn money and incentives. They cannot give anything to the Baloch people.”

The veteran Baloch leaders said “those Baloch leaders who say Parliamentary politics can give a better future to the Baloch nation. They should help Baloch we have no objections. We are silent and will not say thing to them. However, what we do say that is that there is no future for Baloch people within Pakistan.

Dangerous Casualty - Anita Joshua in The Hindu
This is on the anti polio vaccination programme in TSP.

To deal with the prejudices and misconceptions associated with the vaccine, the government has roped in clerics and sought to drive home the point that even the Haj is out-of-bounds for those having polio. “District khateebs ” and imams of mosques have been made part of the District and Union Council Polio Eradication Committees. They are encouraged to use the Friday sermon to address prejudices and misconceptions.

Given the growing inclination to link Pakistan with the Islam of the Arab world — seen as more pure when compared to the way the religion evolved in the sub-continent before the Zia years — the government has been using dignitaries from the Gulf to send across the message. Last week, the government got the Bahrain Ambassador to attend a vaccination camp and call for a “Muslim Ummah free of the scourge of polio.”

Also, the government has plans to invite the Imam-e-Kaba to Pakistan and during the visit request him to make a plea to all religious leaders — from all schools of thought — to play a proactive role in spreading the message against polio. After all, without a polio vaccination certificate, a Pakistani — however devout — cannot perform the Haj, Pakistan-Saudi Arabian friendship notwithstanding.
