Pakistan plays the usual perfidy.

Deadlock leaves Pak-Afghan Ulema conference in jeopardy

Pakistani clerics have threated to boycott a peace conference slated to be held in Kabul after disputes with a visiting Afghan delegation.

Both countries had announced in November that they plan to hold a conference of religious scholars (ulema), where they would urge the militants to renounce violence and join peace efforts.

But on Tuesday, the All Pakistan Ulema Council chief Maulana Tahirul Ashrafi accused the visiting Afghan clerics of trying to use the conference to denounce the Taliban and elicit support for the Afghan government.

Ashrafi, who leads the Pakistani delegation, insisted the Taliban be invited to the event to advance the peace process. He threatened to boycott the conference.

A member of the Afghan delegation, Aminullah Muzafery, says it’s not possible to invite the Taliban. He says the two sides would further discuss conference plans.

The conference was earlier to be held in late January, but was then postponed.

A statement, issued after the trilateral summit on the Afghan peace process attended by President Asif Ali Zardari, President Hamid Karzai and Prime Minister David Cameron earlier this month, said: “President Karzai and President Zardari looked forward to a joint conference of Afghan and Pakistani Ulema in early March.”

41 posted in 36 embassies in 33 days before the end
Cream of the crop, you might say.

With less than 33 days left of its tenure, the PPP-led coalition government has posted 41 trade ministers, commercial counselors and commercial secretaries to 36 countries, including the US and Russia

The officers of these groups lack experience to deal with trade-related issues

The threshold of marks obtained by the candidates for passing the test was lowered to 40 per cent from the earlier 60pc ‘to accommodate those nominated on political basis’.

Business News in Terrorist Islamic republic of pakisatan. Yesterday 14 people died, 2 of them were kafirs (bloody shias). Today, just 5 of them were killed. What a shame!

Yesterday's news
Four MQM men among 14 killed in gun attacks across Karachi

Today's news
5 more fall prey to violence in Karachi

GDP (Gross Destruction Product) of pakisatan is in negative. The need of the moment is FDI (Foreign Direct intervention), International contributions from Al-Qaeda, Drones, etc are required to minimize the deficit. Local companies like LeT, JeM, TTP, LeJ,LeI, etc has to contribute for high growth in pakisatani GDP

.

Needless to day pakisatan was created as a safe haven for muslims of India. Muslims in pakisatan die glorious deaths (by firearms, IEDs, etc), whereas in India muslims die a despicable natural deaths.

And also, as is common in Pakiland, lot of equipment will be 'stolen by miscreants (another name for paki army and the ISI goons)' on way back to port of Karachi. Already begging has started for arms. The rental PM is in UK begging for arms.

Despite family planning being almost always been viewed with scepticism in Pakistan, the total fertility rate, meaning the number of children per woman on average, has declined to float around 3.6, down from almost six.Speakers said that in Pakistan maternal and child morbidity have also declined but remain in the high range. According to World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates in 2011, infant mortality was 65.1 per 1,000 live births compared to 90 per 1,000 in 1999, whereas maternal mortality ratio stands at 276 per 100,000 in 2011 from 450 in 1999. The major chunk of the improvement, experts say, began once policymakers pegged family planning to healthy mothers producing healthy babies. For decades Pakistan’s policy makers pitched the ‘Bachay do hi achay’ campaign without success. “That campaign proved counterproductive,” says Country Director for Pakistan Population Council Dr Zeba Sathar. “However, there has been no opposition since family planning has been linked to maternal and child morbidity, she added”
Chair for the Department of Paediatrics and Child Health at AKU Dr Anita Zaidi says, “Some mothers in Pakistan are so malnourished that they do not have the reserves to nourish their child.” Zaidi urges that family planning was not just about population control it was also about wanting healthy mothers and healthy children.Associate professor and Head Population and Reproductive Health Programme at AKU Dr Sarah Saleem said, “By 2050 Pakistan’s population is expected to exceed 292 million and be in fifth place, after India, China, United States and Indonesia.” Experts warn that decisive action must be taken before the country’s robust population becomes a huge economic and social burden. Even then according to Population Council’s Dr Sathar it will take another 10 to 15 years before Pakistan can stabilise its population.

On the question of left-over equipment, the recent trial run of a convoy of 25 containers that went through without any incident is a pointer. Of course, this would have been essentially non-critical, non-armament type of goods. It is also possible that the TTP allowed the convoy to go through to generate a false sense of security so that they could strike when the 'real' goods are being shipped.

However, I believe that the PA has struck some kind of deal with the TTP on this score. It is being said in TSP that the PA is of the opinion that a military operation against the TTP is the only viable option and peace talks won't do even as the PPP government seems to be undecided about the talks. I think all this is a facade. For various reasons, including the safe withdrawal of men and material of the ISAF, particulary the Americans, the TTP should be restrained (along with the Taliban) during the period from now on until the complete withdrawal. The US put pressure on the PA to deliver on this issue and the PA promptly brokered a deal with them and the TTP.

Considering the past history of TSP-USA arms deals and the US tactical brilliance (which is in no way inferior to the famed Pakistanis) and strategic stupidity and its appeasement policies towards the PA, it is not too difficult to imagine what the contours of such a deal would be. One of the components would be transfer of excess and left-over goods.

The below is what I posted last month

One thing that India has to be aware of is that the US may choose to transfer equipment left over in Afghanistan by c/ 2014 to TSPA rather than incurring the efforts and expenses to take them back to the US. We may never know if that took place under the wraps. The US may even do so overtly by justifying that these would be needed to ward off any future misadventure by AQAM which the TSPA would take care of.

Here is some masala for you guys:
http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/02/12/3 ... -feed.html

On Tuesday morning, the Internet connection linking a suspected Taliban soldier who was testifying in a video call from Pakistan to a Miami federal courtroom suddenly went dead. Was it a communications glitch at the Islamabad hotel? Or did the Pakistani government kill the feed because of the witness’s alleged Taliban ties?

Khan’s defense attorney, Khurrum Wahid, explained to the judge by phone that there was “absolutely no problem” until a prosecutor in Miami mentioned the name of the Serena Hotel, where the testimony was being taken, during cross-examination. He noted the hotel staff said “there were some intelligence operatives in the business center here, and they were taking pictures of us and our witnesses.”

Added Wahid: “I’ve been told by the hotel staff that it’s from outside the building and that ... the IP address has been blacklisted by the Interior Ministry, I’m sorry, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority.”

Terrorist influx:Britain mulls banning PIA flights: The British government has reportedly threatened to place a ban on all Pakistan International Airlines flights, due to the fear of influx of Al Qaeda and Taliban terrorists after it was found that tens of Afghan nationals are illegally flying into the UK on Pakistani passports.

According to British officials, more than 50 Afghans bearing Pakistani passports landed in different UK cities from Karachi and Islamabad during the last two months, reports the Daily Times.

Sources said that the immigration officer of the British high commission, acting on a tip-off on February 2, offloaded six Afghan citizens from PIA's flight PK-785 set for London. During investigation, it was revealed that Afghan nationals had paid 25,000 pounds each for sending them to the UK.

FIA's additional director Sajjad Haider was reportedly found involved in the scandal, the report said.

But you are right on India's zero value to Unkil except "India and US are strategic partners" hot air which is cost free for Unkil but means a lot to Indian RAPE.

Yesterday, someone posted an interview with India RAPE dorkette Jyothi whatever, and uber TSP RAPE dorkette Marianna whatever. Both were having a field day with India is evil this or evil that. But the one point Mariann baby made struck me. Ever since Amrithraj made the threat to MushRat and MushRat surrendered, TSP RAPE's real nightmare was not doing whatever Unkil asks it to do, but whether equal equal with India will dissippate in doing so. So while frothing in the mouth, Marianna baby demanded that India and US should no longer call India the world's largest democracy, but just another country in "South Asia". Even though she said this in the context of Afzal Guru hanging and TSP heartburn, MMS has more than obliged in making India yet another "South Asian" country, Afzal Guru hanging notwithstanding, after all, according to his constant mantra, India's and TSP's destinies are linked together, and so TSP can do anything, but piss process will be uninterrupted and uninterruptible.

Jo Paki kehlayega , Andar Jayeega. Ashraf to Arzal

The Abu Dhabi and Sharjah authorities called in over 1,000 Pashtun men with names like Ali, Hussain and Hassan to the police stations and/or interior ministry officesWhat started in the Persian Gulf sheikhdoms some two years ago has taken on a new and vicious intensity. Some of the sheikhdoms’ own officials were calling it an unannounced ‘operation’ but it is increasingly looking like a witch-hunt to harass and chase the Shia Pakistanis, particularly the Pashtun Shia, out.It came to the boil last month just after the Shia commemoration of Arba’een when the Abu Dhabi and Sharjah authorities called in over 1,000 Pashtun men with names like Ali, Hussain and Hassan to the police stations and/or interior ministry offices. They were told to surrender all documents like drivers’ licences and work permits, and then told to leave the Emirates. Some of them had been working there for some 35 years, but were told to pack up and leave right away or in 48 hours at the most. They were forced to sell, if they were lucky to even do that, their possessions — taxicabs, trucks, and small businesses — at throwaway prices and deported.
An overwhelming majority of these men is from the Shia enclave of the Upper Kurram but even some Sunni tribesman from the Masozai and Ali Shezai clans of Kurram who had ‘Shia-sounding’ names were forced to leave. A Shia man from the Upper Kurram stated that he and about 30 of his compatriots had their heads shaved by force before they were made to leave Sharjah. None of the Shia men were charged with and/or convicted for any infarction of the local laws. Apparently, with the sponsorship (kefalah) withdrawn/forced to lapse they had no legal recourse to appeal in a country not exactly known for due process.Several affected Kurramis feel that someone from Pakistan snitched on them because they had formed the backbone of the Upper Kurram economy when the enclave was under siege by the Taliban. It might be impossible to know exactly what happened but certainly about 1,000 families have lost their livelihood. Mr Ali Hussain in a comprehensive report in a publication (February 11, 2013) writes that according to the Foreign Secretary Jalil Abbas Jilani, Pakistan has expressed concerns over the “forced deportation” of Pakistanis from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) by summoning the UAE ambassador to the Foreign Office. And that is the extent that I, sadly, suspect that Pakistan would go to in defending its own citizens in the face of the most shameless persecution by what it routinely calls a brotherly country. But then again is it unreasonable to be sceptical about a country where it has been an open season on the Shia for years, the latest being a series of the target killings of Shia professionals in Peshawar allegedly by the banned — yet operating with impunity — outfits.

LAHORE: Renowned Indian poet and director Gulzar returned to India via Lahore today, Geo News reported.Sources confirmed that Gulzar cut his trip to Pakistan short after receiving advice from the Indian High Commission, and returned by way of Wagah border. However the Indian High Commissioner has citied the directors return to be for personal reasons. It may be noted here that Gulzar was on one-week visit to Pakistan. He was to arrive in Karachi today (Wednesday) to participate in the Karachi Literary Festival.Indian officials denied Pakistani media reports that they had advised the poet, who won an Oscar for the lyrics to rags-to-riches hit "Slumdog Millionaire" theme "Jai Ho", to return to India.
Vishal Bhardwaj, an Indian director travelling with Gulzar, said there was "nothing political" about the withdrawal.The 76-year-old was simply "emotionally overwhelmed and stressed" after visiting his birthplace, in Pakistan, for the first time in 70 years, Bhardwaj insisted.But a Pakistani film director who met Gulzar during his visit, told AFP on condition of anonymity that he left the country "because of some security concerns".

Speaking of Jyoti Malhotra and such defeatist Injun WKK attitudes to Pak in general, pliss consider adding this to the header post as relevant to understanding the same

Battered Person syndrome
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battered_person_syndrome

Etiology
The syndrome develops in response to a three-stage cycle found in [] violence situations. First, tension builds in the relationship. Second, the abusive partner releases tension via violence while blaming the victim for having caused the violence. Third, the violent partner makes gestures of contrition. However, the partner does not find solutions to avoid another phase of tension building and release so the cycle repeats. The repetition of the violence despite the abuser's attempts to "make nice" results in the abused partner feeling at fault for not preventing a repeat cycle of violence. However, since the victim is not at fault and the violence is internally driven by the abuser's need to control, this self-blame results in feelings of helplessness rather than empowerment. The feeling of being both responsible for and helpless to stop the violence leads in turn to depression and passivity. This learned depression and passivity makes it difficult for the abused partner to marshal the resources and support system needed to leave.[7]

Feelings of depression and passivity may also be created by lack of social support outside of the abusive situation.

Please keep in mind that some people from West Punjab and Sindh could have societal/cultural memories going back generations and this may contribute to their propensity to become battered persons wrt Pakistan. Not that there is lack of defeatist WKKism from other parts of the country.

I talked to some one who is connected with higher in foreign ministry, who said there is high alert among foreign ministry after Afzal hanging so advised all non gov. personnel to keep away form land of pure as there may be chance of killing or kidnapped Indians by jehadis in land of pure. Also high alert sounded in Indian metro cities for any terrorist attack. By the way it seems MMS is very angry on Zardari for not keeping promise (MMS kept his word by starting cricket with Pakis as begged by Zardari) of keeping LOC peaceful as if he was supposed to keep Army in check and now in confronting mood. No Paki in IPL no support for PSL etc.It will be interesting to watch in coming months.

Zardari is barely hanging on and couldn't save his own PM and FM from the army. How on earth is he supposed to keep LoC peaceful? He is a glorified peon who does the bidding of US and army. It suits them both to keep him in power. I am not sure any Indian babu in his rightful mind will believe Zardari promises.

Think about it this way. The fellow is the president. The fact that benazirs killers have not been exposed yet either means he is hand in glove with them or afraid of them.

This is exactly like Nawaz. Either he didn't know about kargil (in which case it is useless to sign peace pacts with him) or he was inshaallah-ing the kargil treachery (as alleged by many) in which case again it is useless to sign a peace pact with him. Between Nawaz and Zardari what exactly has changed in Pakistani political climate?

I have a different theory. With elections approaching, congress doesn't want to get caught with its chaddis down embracing Pakistan if a terror attack occurrs. And they are playing it safe.
