VIENNA: A group of mainly Pakistani asylum-seekers who have been occupying a central Vienna church since mid-December moved out on Sunday and into a monastery where they have been offered shelter, organisers said.
The high-profile protest, which involved some in the group consuming only clear soup and liquids for a month, was to press for better conditions for refugees in Austria and the European Union.
“We are happy that we can continue our efforts towards obtaining better conditions for refugees and a safe future for all in a new, open place and in regular accommodation,” said Adalat Khan, a spokesman for the protestors.
The number of people taking part in the protest in the freezing-cold church varied between several dozen and a handful. Doctors had expressed serious concerns for the health of those on hunger strike.
The protesters’ demands included being able to choose where they live, access to jobs, schools and social security, and a halt to forced deportations.
But beyond promising to improve the provision of interpreters the government gave few concessions. afp
India has asked Pakistan to get no objection certificates (NoCs) from New Delhi for building all the hydropower projects being completed in Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) and AJK involving funding of international donor agencies.
India has also asked Pakistan to provide detailed information about all hydropower projects being built in Gilgit-Baltistan with the funding of these international donors.
This has been communicated to Pakistan in the latest correspondence in which India has again declared Gilgit-Baltistan as its integral part.
The World Bank currently believed to be under the influence of the Indians who occupy top slots, has already refused the funding for the most strategic project of the Diamer-Bhasha dam linking it with an NoC from India.
The most revealing and perturbing disclosure is that this is the same bank that has leaked the information to New Delhi that Pakistan is building hydropower projects in Shebratan and Chilas in Gilgit-Baltistan, the correspondence reveals.
In a letter of the Foreign Affairs Director General South Asia of the Foreign Ministry written on November 28, 2012 to the Ministry of Water and Power, of which a copy is available with The News, it has been revealed that India has sought detailed information about the hydropower projects being built in Gilgit-Baltistan as New Delhi is of the view that Pakistan needs its NoCs for building all kinds of hydropower projects in Gilgit-Baltistan and AJK as the said areas are ‘integral parts of India’.
However, the letter’s excerpt shows that the Pakistan high commissioner in New Delhi has rejected the Indian assertions about Gilgit-Baltistan being an integral part of India. The Pakistan high commissioner, however, asked the authorities in Islamabad to provide information about the projects and the donor agencies from which assistance has been sought.
The high commissioner of Pakistan, according to the letter, has recommended to the Ministry of Water and Power to discourage donor agencies from seeking India’s concurrence for projects in AJK and Gilgit-Baltistan.
The letter written by Zehra Akbari, DG South Asia in Foreign Affairs, to Nargis Sethi, the then Secretary of Water and Power, on November 28, 2012 says: “Our high commissioner in New Delhi has conveyed vide his telegram of 23 November 2012 that the Indian Ministry of External Affairs has made a verbal demarche to protest Pakistan’s plans to build hydel power projects at Shebratan and Chilas in Gilgit-Baltistan and also to seek donors’ assistance for these projects. They had learned about these projects from the World Bank. Indians said that the area was an integral part of India. Our high commissioner rejected the Indian assertions about Gilgit-Baltistan being integral part of India. The high commissioner has requested information about the projects and the donor agencies from which assistance has been sought. The India high commission has also recommended that the concerned ministry should discourage donor agencies from seeking India’s NoC for the projects in AJK and Gilgit-Baltistan.”
Only difference is now it is boys school. So looks like after girls schools are shut down they also want to make sure nanhas dont goto school as wellSuspected Taliban militants bombed four boys’ schools in Pakistan’s northwestern tribal belt on Thursday, officials said, in the latest attack by militants on government educational institutions.
“All the four schools were completely destroyed, the number of schools destroyed in Mohmand is now more than 100,” Ali said.
Extremist militants opposed to co-education have destroyed hundreds of schools, mostly for girls, in northwest Pakistan in recent years.
It will also be the first time Pakistan’s estimated 500,000 “eunuchs” are eligible to seek office, after the Supreme Court in 2011 ordered the government to issue them with identity cards and to register them as voters.

ISLAMABAD: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain said on Sunday that “hidden (Pakjabi ) forces” have conspired to pit Pakhtuns and Mohajirs against each other to keep both the ethnic groups under-developed.“The Pakjabi elements creating differences between Pakhtuns and Mohajirs must be exposed,” Altaf urged while addressing the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Convention, which was organised by the MQM at the Kashmir House. The convention, first of its kind by the MQM to reach out to the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa ahead of the forthcoming general elections was well-attended with participation from various parts of the province, especially the Hazara region.Addressing the participants via telephone, Altaf asserted that there is no conflict between the two communities and their members are being killed under a conspiracy. He even praised Bacha Khan and the ANP and said the MQM and ANP are both revolutionaries and peace-loving parties. Altaf claimed that apart from driving a wedge between the Pakhtuns and Mohajirs, attempts were being made to pitch Pakhtuns and Hazarawal against each other in the province. MQM chief took the credit of giving the name of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to former North West Frontier Province (NWFP) and said that his party demanded this name change to give identify to the people of the province because NWFP was a name given by British Raj. Altaf said he wanted a system based on justice in the country.

a larger “global conspiracy” exists behind fueling violence between Shia and Sunni sects in Pakistan
Similar to Iraq, Lebanon and Bahrain
Why it has to be a conspiracy by the crusaders? Because, no true milsum will even think of harming another milsum, let alone kill him. It is written in al kitab.“Zardari does not have the time to pay attention to the situation in the country,” he said. “These corrupt politicians have become billionaires in the past five years.”
And, what does jihadi Imran Khan say about sectarian violence ?Lieutenant Commander S. Azeem Haider Kazmi of the Pakistan Navy, who targeted in an attack in Keamari area of the city on Feb 27, died of his wounds, DawnNews reported on Monday.
His death was confirmed by family sources, according to a DawnNews report.
The officer was on his way to the Dockyard in his private car on Feb 27 when he was targeted by gunmen.
Police said the incident took place in front of the KPT Gate No 15 on the road connecting Jinnah Bridge to Keamari Harbour.
“Lieutenant Commander Syed Azeem Haider Kazmi was driving his private car and was heading to work when attacked at around 6.40am,” said SSP West Asif Ajaz Shaikh.
He was the second naval officer to have been targeted in less than a month.
Earlier on Feb 7, Lieutenant Commander Syed Asif Hussain Kazmi and his wife were injured when an improvised explosive planted beneath his car exploded in the premises of the PNS Karsaz.

This is how the Rajiv killer escaped from TN to Bangalore. An old idea being repurposed to smuggle explosives. Hope our security forces stay on the alert and include a way to check this.The fact that terrorist transported a huge quantity of explosives hidden in a “water tanker” through check posts and barriers undetected also raises suspicion.
Definitely they must be given asylum, each and every paki wanting asylum in Europe must be given one. It's there right and Europe is the torch bearer of human rights how can it not allow pakis asylum ???

In many chapters outlined by NCJP, modern Hindus are referred to as “gangsters” and Christians are referred to as “violent crusaders.”According to the report, the hate content in textbooks has more than doubled since the last time they were revised. For example, some 30 Grade 5 to 10 textbooks published in Punjab, examined in 2009, were found to have 12 instances of biased material that could be considered “hate content.” In 2012, the textbooks underwent a curriculum revision. After another review, the total number of quantifiable instances of questionable or factually incorrect material went up to 33, according to Peter Jacob, the study's author.Curriculum authorities respondWhen Pakistan’s Federal Textbook Board – a government body that authorizes and reviews content published in schoolbooks – was contacted, at first they denied that there was such content.When a Monitor correspondent confronted them with the latest report by NCJP, Riaz Ahmad, head of the government curriculum committee, promised to look into itWe try our best to check such content, but since our society belongs to religious people, it is tough to bring [such] changes,.“” Dr. Ahmak says, adding that the curriculum has to respect the society it is being taught in

Prosecutors built their case largely around hundreds of FBI recordings of conversations in which Khan expressed support for Taliban attacks and discussed sending about $50,000 to Pakistan. There were also recordings in which Khan appeared to back the overthrow of Pakistan's government in favor of strict Islamic law, praised the killing of American military personnel and lauded the failed 2010 attempt to detonate a bomb in New York's Times Square.
Does anyone remember the Video Link disruption stroy?Khan, who testified over four combative days in his own defense, insisted the money he sent overseas was for family, charity and business reasons — above all, his religious school, known as a madrassa, in Pakistan's Swat Valley. Khan also said he repeatedly lied about harboring extremist views to obtain $1 million from a man who turned out to be an FBI informant wearing a wire to record their talk.
"That is not supporting terrorism," said Khan attorney Khurrum Wahid in a closing argument. "That is an old guy running a scam, who got scammed."
After Rehman's testimony, Pakistani authorities shut down the video link from an Islamabad hotel to the Miami courtroom, leaving Khan without the testimony of 10 witnesses on his behalf.
