2nd World Camel Congress to be held in Bahawalpur in December
President Pakistan Camel Association‚ Dr.Younis Khan says Pakistan is at 8th number in the world for camel population.
China on Sunday asked the Pakistani government to “guarantee the safety and legitimate rights of Chinese citizens in Pakistan” as it condemned the attack on foreign tourists in Gilgit-Baltistan, Chinese news agency Xinhua reported.
He said that the men were inspecting the site of an earlier IED blast when a second device went off.
Same thoughts. Hope the antecedents in the case comes out in open. That is how did the infant acquire wild polio? Did somebody migrated from bakistan and spread the disease? But there is no hope in GoM or GoI machinery. They may suppress the details in aman-ki-tamasha and endanger Indian lives.harbans wrote:Setback to Polio Efforts in India
I read the article and when Beed was mentioned something struck. Beed is a heavy IM density area. Large sections of the place migrated to Pakistan in 47. So there would be lots of movements between Shitistan and this place with visa on arrivals for old and young alike. Am I right in making that link here?

harbans, in the India Health Care Sector thread, I have posted a few posts on this incident. Essentially, it is a polio case derived from the vaccine itself due to a few reasons. It is not like polio viruses circulating in the gutters, as in Karachi, infecting this unfortunate boy. Pakistan may enjoy schadenfreude but they are wrong as usual that the polio programme has failed. This unfortunate incident does not count as a real polio case. It does bring to light a certain lacunae in coverage and frequency of vaccination and a debate on oral polio vaccine (OPV) which is the regimen adopted in India versus injectible polio vaccination.harbans wrote:Setback to Polio Efforts in India

Anujan ji, why should the PA be interested in killing the Chinese, unless it was a renegade PA unit that owes allegiance to TTP ? There has been a lot of TTP activity in Chilas and Jandullah has been especially active here. See this for example.Anujan wrote:Something doesnt compute. Apparently the attackers wore the uniform of Gilgit Scouts. Well maybe they did that as a cover well and good. Apparently they attacked them at the base camp at 15,000 feet!

12 attackers, carrying arms and ammo in uniform, climbing for 2 days and that is after they have acclimatized to the height and dont throw up due to altitude sickness. And apparently they scaled that height after "threatening" a guide, who helped them climb for 2 days!
Sounds like "Mujahideen are in Kargil" story.

Only scenario I can think that makes sense is that they got some intel that some other group was operating in the area (say, a Western country SF or SDRE SF group) and sent a bunch of Gilgit Scouts to check it out. The scouts found a group of people camping, decided that they were the group that they were sent to find and opened fire. After the smoke cleared, they had an *oh crap!* moment and then came up with this cock-and-bull story of jihadis dressed in Gilgit Scout uniforms to cover their asses.Anujan wrote:Something doesnt compute.

The Border Security Force (BSF) is set to beef up patrolling in the treacherous creeks in Gujarat's Rann of Kutch on the India-Pakistan border with the help of fast attack craft (FAC).
Currently, speed boats and mechanized crafts are used by the BSF's water wing to patrol the creeks of the Rann of Kutch criss-crossing through 4,050 sq km. The creeks are navigable only by boats but their movement is dependent on the water level. During high tide, when water gushes in from the Arabian Sea, BSF sends out its patrol boats to the network of creeks branching out from Sir Creek, a tributary of the Indus river, and the Harami Nala.
However, given the strategic location of the creeks, rich in hydrocarbons, minerals and fish, the BSF felt the need for a faster response time, said a senior officer posted in the area.
Early this month, BSF received an input that a group of men in boats were trying to cross into India from Pakistan in boats. Though unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were mounted for surveillance soon after, the BSF, which has three battalions to man the creeks, could send out a patrol only a day later. An extensive four-day operation followed and the input was found to be a false alarm.
"But it proved to us that we did not have the infrastructure to surmount the problems posed by nature in this area,'' a BSF officer said.
The fast attack crafts are expected to be a step ahead as it can operate in shallow water, too.
"We will soon induct four US-made fast attack crafts," said A K Sinha, IG, BSF (Gujarat Frontier). {I thought GRSE makes indigenous FACs. Why are we buying from the US ?} The bullet-proof FACs move at twice the speed of existing speed boats and are fitted with arms. This will boost surveillance in the vast uninhabited salt marshes. If UAVs pick up any suspicious movement, the FACs can respond faster.
The BSF, which coordinates between 15 security and intelligence agencies operating in the Rann area, will also have more all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) to patrol the vast and inaccessible marshes of the Rann.
Though inaccessible, the Rann has immense strategic importance. A dispute over the India-Pakistan international border in Sir Creek triggered the first war between the two neighbours outside Jammu and Kashmir. Till today, the dispute over about 104 km in this area remains unresolved, making it an overly sensitive zone.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry avoided associating Pakistan with terrorism and instead advised India to deepen bilateral trade ties with its neighbour. On his first visit after taking over as Secretary of State, Mr. Kerry hoped the two countries build up enough trust to start investing in each other’s economies so that “others could invest in you,” he said in a reference to the hostility between the two countries that keeps many potential investors away.
Mr. Kerry arrived here for the fourth Indo-US Strategic Dialogue that is chaired by the foreign ministers of both countries. Departing from his predecessor Hillary Clinton’s line of commiserating with the victims of the 2008 Mumbai attacks, he opted to sympathise with the victims of the Uttarakhand flash floods instead.
His stance on India-Pakistan ties, articulated during a 45-minute speech this evening, left Indian diplomats displeased because Mr. Kerry has the perception of being soft on Pakistan unlike Ms. Clinton. Diplomats will now wait for the joint statement to be released after his strategic dialogue with External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid on Monday to see if it will mention “safe havens of terrorism”, a euphemism to anti-Kabul elements based in Pakistan’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas such as South Waziristan and Khyber on the Af-Pak border.
Mr. Kerry also said improved India-Pakistan ties are a catalyst for promoting regional trade and connectivity, which in turn could turn around Afghanistan’s fortunes. Last year, India-Pakistan trade had gone up by 21 per cent, but Mr. Kerry said there was still a long way to go. Both countries have had an acrimonious past but there is a new leadership in place in Islamabad which has indicated that economical revival is its number one priority. This approach could mark the “beginning of a new era” and “hopefully improve trust.” While half of his speech was devoted to clean energy and how India needs to be proactive, Mr. Kerry also touched on Afghanistan. India and the U.S. differ on holding talks with the Taliban leadership.
Mr. Kerry sought to draw New Delhi’s attention to next year’s presidential elections in Afghanistan that could mark the first-ever peaceful transition of leadership in recent history. The U.S. wants Taliban to renounce violence, break its ties with Al Qaida and accept the Afghan Constitution before any settlement with the group could be taken up, he said.
No Armenji, it is not that they just opened fire and then went oh crap. Every dead person had been shot in the head. I think they knew what they were doing. It is indeed puzzling that they went all the way to Nanga Parbat base camp to target foreigners when they could have found many more easily.ArmenT wrote:Only scenario I can think that makes sense is that they got some intel that some other group was operating in the area (say, a Western country SF or SDRE SF group) and sent a bunch of Gilgit Scouts to check it out.

Of course, this is only a theory, so take it for what it is worth only.

13:19 Taliban claims responsibility for killing tourists in Pak: Banned organisation Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan has claimed responsibility for the killing of nine foreign tourists and their guide in Gilgit-Balitistan.
TTP spokesperson Ehsanullah Ehsan called The Express Tribune and said the Junud-e-Hafsa -- a faction of the group -- carried out the brutal attack.
According to the report, the group carried out the attack to avenge US drone attacks and the killing of TTP chief Waliur Rehman Mehsud.

No wonder, my friend sitting in Kathmandu, with Himalayan overview of monsoonal rainbows, could not have come out with a more romantic theme for resuscitation of the lost South Asian charm. He believes that once we get past the hurdle of rolling South Asia around on our tongues and brains, a lot of things will fall into place, including “retroactive regionalism” — according to which Babar, Sher Shah Suri, Chandragupta Maurya, Asoka would all be ‘historically Indians’ but present-day ‘South Asians’. In that sense, perhaps, Gandhi and Jinnah, the revered fathers of their respective nation states, too, would be more South Asian rather than Indian or Pakistani. Both lived only for a few months as citizens of their newly-independent states.
It has been over six and a half decades since India the nation state was established as a truncated version of historical ‘India’. Locating India within a larger whole becomes easier when we bear in mind that India the nation-state cannot all by itself carry the legacy and meaning of ‘Jambudvipa’ or ‘Indic civilisation’. In fact, Pakistan as the physical inheritor of the real Indus River Civilisation is more “Indic” than India which today culturally represents a hybrid of Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and Christian influences. For the sake of the people of India, as well as of South Asia, whose future is defined to such a large extent by India, my friend in Kathmandu, a committed bearer of South Asia’s ragtag flag, has reason to ask: “Are we sure about India as it is constructed or isn’t it time to consider reformatting?”
And, Syria, Turkey, Singapore's haze problem, Snowden effect etc. They have to put up a pretense, a pretense of being a normal nation-state. They could never overcome the fact that they were an illegal and unnatural construct. Every passing day only confirms this status even more loudly. So, they resort to these intellectual ejections.partha wrote:Only in Pakistan you can find such useless / irrelevant articles when the country is going to dogs. Or pigs.
Also spotted in Paki press in the last few days when Shias were being slaughtered and Ahmedi businesses were being forced to close - op-eds on fascist (Modi) take over of India, Bihar model, Modi vs Nitish, Obama vs Putin, about "forgiving India" (lulz), joint governance of Kashmir (lulz), NSA & PRISM.
I am sure there are op-eds on Egypt and Palestine too which I have missed.

Hunger in Pakistan is at emergency levels after years of conflict and floods, but funding has dwindled as new crises such as Syria grab donors' attention, the United Nations food aid chief said on Sunday.
about half of Pakistan's population still does not have secure access to enough food, up from a little over a third a decade ago
Hey Pakis: Take a cue from the little man with the bad haircut in North Korea.There is growing concern that international donors will lose interest in the unstable border areas after the withdrawal next year of U.S.-led foreign forces from Afghanistan.
Paki trolls: ask your third cousin from your second wife/cousin's side who works for the strategic command to declare war on India and Afghanistan. Do a North Korea. Watch the world pay attention then. Problem solved!North Korea is even worse hit by funding shortages, Cousin said, partly due to a drop in donations noticed at the beginning of this year, when Pyongyang threatened to launch a nuclear attack on the United States.

"Musharraf's actions came under the purview of high treason," Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif told parliament. "He should face trial... and will have to answer for his guilt before the court," he added.
The attorney general delivered the same statement on behalf of the government in the Supreme Court, where a treason trial can be initiated only by the state.
"Musharraf violated the constitution twice. He overthrew an elected government in 1999 and put everything into jeopardy. He sacked judges and imprisoned them," said Sharif.
"We will follow the process of law and all political forces will be taken into confidence," he added.
The position will complicate the chances of a quiet deal that Musharraf's legal team had hoped would allow him to win bail and quietly leave the country.
It could also put the civilian government at loggerheads with the powerful army, which vehemently opposes the prospect of its former chief facing the courts in Pakistan.
But it was welcomed by the two main opposition parties, Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) led by politician Imran Khan.
