Pakistan supersedes India but still ranks near bottom of n-safety index

WASHINGTON:
Despite superseding nuclear rivals India, a US study on worldwide nuclear materials security for 2014 said Pakistan is ranked 22nd out of 25 countries with weapons usable nuclear materials worldwide.

However, Pakistan has shown the most improvement recently among nine nuclear-armed states through a series of steps to update nuclear security regulations and to implement best practices.

The 2014 Nuclear Threat Initiative Nuclear Materials Security Index has ranked Pakistan above India in terms of nuclear safety.

India is ranked 23rd out of 25 countries with weapons-usable nuclear materials in the world while China is placed 20th on the index.

The NTI study predicts further improvement in Pakistan’s regulations for protection and threat prevention.

In the 2014 NTI Index, the scores of the nine nuclear-armed states remained mostly static, with some states' scores increasing or decreasing by a single point.

“Pakistan was a notable exception, with its score increasing by three points,” the NTI Index acknowledged in its latest assessment.

“Pakistan, which improved its score by three points compared with 2012, demonstrated the largest improvement of any nuclear-armed state. Pakistan is taking steps to update its nuclear security regulations and to implement nuclear security best practices.”

In particular, the assessment says, new regulations have improved its scores in the On-Site Physical Protection indicator.

Pakistan also participated in new bilateral and multilateral assistance, although its score for Voluntary Commitments was already high.

France, the United Kingdom, and the United States lead the nuclear-armed states in scoring.

The 2014 Nuclear Threat Initiative Nuclear Materials Security Index is the second edition of a unique public assessment of nuclear materials security conditions around the world, the organisation website said.

Developed with the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the NTI Index was created to assess the security of nuclear materials around the world and to encourage governments to take actions and provide assurances about the security of the world's deadliest materials, it said.

A bomb attack targeting an aide of Pakistan's prime minister kills five people in Swat Valley.

A bomb attack targeting an aide of Pakistan's prime minister killed five people in a northern area, police have said.

The bomb exploded in the Shangla area on Sunday near the convoy of Amir Muqam, a cabinet aide and former parliamentarian, said Deputy Inspector General Abdullah Khan.

After attending a local tribal meeting, Muqam was headed back to Mingora, the capital of Swat Valley, when two bombs exploded near his convoy, said Khan.

He said it was not clear whether both or one of them were suicide attacks.

Muqam escaped unhurt, but the blast killed two police and his three private guards.

India Rejects US Think-Tank’s Report

The Indian official, meanwhile, advised the US think-tank not to overemphasise the aspect of production of fissile material, saying: “If the issue is production of fissile material, they should have had greater issues with the US and Russia who have hundreds of tonnes of this material. Why should they be so concerned with the small quantity that India has?” He added: “Moreover, India is placed below a country (Pakistan) that is the Walmart of nuclear proliferation. Our record on non-proliferation and security of nuclear material is there for all to see. We did not even want to edify them with a response.” The official insisted that the US and France secured top places in the index, although a US military aircraft recently took off with a live nuclear bomb and suicide bombers had attacked a French company’s uranium plant in Niger in May 2013.

Pickup used in attack on Ch. Aslam was jacked up sans tyre: Taxi driver

The injured taxi driver told the police that the Suzuki pickup, which was used for blast, was standing on a jack, as its tyre was taken out and as soon as the double cabin vehicle came near it, the blast occurred. He told the police that he was carrying passengers from Kathor Highway to Mauripur, when the blast took place

Compared to the down to earth, humble attitude of the Yindoo space scientists check how the RAPE TFTA Retd Pak Army chap tells all employee's: Tum Kya Kar Rahe ho, bataao...

What does he talk about? - 1970's and 1980's ISRO stuff like Tele Education and Tele Medicine on which he says a policy papers has been prepared .

He copies the ISRO line of SUPRACO being Catalyst to growth.

What does he show for achievements?
Off the shelf Commercially available beacons which are used for sending distress signals which he says the Chinese supplied Pakistani satellite can detect and alert the international authorities.

When asked how many satellites should pakistan have in the future he says kul milake 2 se 3 hone chahiye future mein

Of course like Yindoo scientists he does not waste time talking about future development activities but has more important things to do:
Shows model of Chinese space station where he wants a pakistani astronaut to go in future - Pakistani achievement!!!!

Photograph from Printed brochure (I kid you not) of a Japanese Satellite on which certain experiments were conducted based on the suggestions of 23 people from all over the world, of these 4 were pakistani's - He calls it fertile pakistani imagination, so Pakistani achievement!!!

Region or subcontinent?
So, is it South Asia (as the pakis and paki-pasand Indians want it) or Indian-subcontinent?

by Asif Ezdi. The writer is a former member of the Pakistan Foreign Service.

A ‘shared geography’? Yes, Pakistan and India have a common dependence on the monsoons and the Indus river system.

our ‘shared history’ has been one of conflict and bloodshed going back to more than a thousand years.

Properly speaking, ‘subcontinent’ is a geographical term, but India has tried to twist the expression to make it fit its political ambition to establish hegemony over the region.

Washington also now increasingly refers to South Asia as “the subcontinent”

Hillary Clinton, then secretary of state, had gone even further and spoken of the “Indian Subcontinent”.

The Indians, of course, were delighted. Regrettably, Pakistan did not lodge any protest.

Indian officials rarely use the term South Asia

At one time, especially in the aftermath of the 1971 war, India used to nurse hegemonic designs over Pakistan as well.

with the nuclear tests of 1998, the Indian dream of dominating Pakistan was buried forever.

India’s current ‘power and influence’ has been artificially pumped up by Washington in its campaign to make India a global power and does not rest on intrinsic strength.

While Pakistan itself does not have to worry about Indian hegemony, our national interests require that we should not remain silent when India meddles in the affairs of other countries of South Asia, as it is doing currently in Bangladesh.

we must ban the word ‘subcontinent’ from our political vocabulary

ISLAMABAD: The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) patted itself on the back on Sunday after its chief Mullah Fazalullah and spokesman Shahidullah Shahid were named in the FIR lodged over the killing of police officer Chaudhry Aslam.
“It is a reward for us that Tehreek-e-Taliban Ameer and its central spokesman Shahidullah Shahid have been nominated in the murder case of Chaudhry Aslam. With the grace of Allah Almighty we are not the killers of a weak person but nominated for killing a powerful man,” the Taliban said in a statement.

Balochistan unrest: Tortured body of child found in Turbat

QUETTA: The tortured and bullet-riddled body of a 10-year-old has been found in Turbat district of Balochistan on Sunday. Chakar Baloch, a student in the third grade, went missing on January 7 from main Turbat bazaar, according to local police.
“He was tortured before he was shot in the head and chest,” said an official at the Kech District Headquarters Hospital, adding that the boy was not sexually assaulted. “He was shot four times at point blank range.” A levies official said a shepherd spotted the body near the Kech Kor River and informed the police.
“The victim’s elder brother is said to be a campaigner for the Baloch separatist movement,” sources said.

A Baloch Student Organisation Azad spokesperson condemned the incident and accused security agencies of the incident. Security agencies have denied charges of involvement in any illegal detention or dumping of bodies.

Seculaism: A Solution for Pakistan - Sarmad Ali, Op Ed, DT

In culmination, it is submitted that there is no room for discovering an iota of inherent secularism in the teachings and history of Islam. The state of Pakistan came into being on the basis of Muslim nationalism and no secular liberal speech by Jinnah is available except for the one on August 11, 1947. Pakistan inherited the diseases of religious violence and fundamentalism on the day it came into being and, therefore, Pakistan is clearly disqualified for secularism. . . . . I strongly believe that secularism is the only solution available to the state of Pakistan to get rid of all sorts of religious menaces.

From the daily whines article above -

"An excellent example of a secular country is our neighbouring country, India, which is recognised as the world’s biggest democracy. In India, Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists and people belonging to other faiths are living together and, very rarely, do we hear that an incident of violence has happened except when it is triggered by the conservative political party, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)."

It cannot stand that India has successfully eradicated Polio even though the size of population is atleast 3 times larger, and the sheer number of immunization needed to achieve this feet is absolutely mind boggling.

TSP mind will be thinking, "You may be able to stop our Polio infected people from visiting you. But what will you do if I send the virus via mail, or imports, or by other means. Screw you India!"

India defeats polio, global eradication efforts advance

India marked three years since its last reported polio case Monday, meaning it will soon be certified as having defeated the ancient scourge in a huge advance for global eradication efforts.

India's polio programme is one of the country's biggest public health success stories, achieving something once thought impossible thanks to a massive and sustained vaccination programme.

Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad, along with global groups who have been working to eradicate the virus, hailed Monday's anniversary as "a monumental milestone".

"We have completed a full three years without a single polio case and I'm sure that in the future there won't be any polio cases," Azad told reporters in the capital.

Smiling and flashing a V for victory sign, he added: "I think this is great news not just for India
but the entire globe."

Separatist literature, maps recovered by FC in Turbat raid

QUETTA : A large quantity of anti-Pakistan literature as well as maps of a separate Balochistan were recovered during a raid of Attashad Degree College in Turbat district of Balochistan, Express News reported on Monday.

A Baloch student had reportedly taken over a hostel in the college and a Frontier Corps (FC) spokesperson claims he was brainwashing students to conduct acts of terrorism in the country.

The recovered material included separatist leaflets, banners and posters. The books include Nehru and Gandhi’s biographies as well as books about Baloch separation. The books were printed in Karachi and neighbouring countries.

Pakistan dismisses Indian allegations of violating LoC truce

Look Like Nya Saal For Nanga, Bhookha, Pyasa Terrror Rat Pakistan

KARACHI: Pakistan Army on Monday termed allegations by the Indian army chief over violations of the Line of Control (LOC) as baseless and contrary to facts on the ground, reiterating that Pakistan was respecting the ceasefire on the disputed border in ‘letter and spirit.’In a statement released by the Inter-services Public Relations (ISPR) on Monday evening, the military spokesperson said that the allegations were contrary to the facts on ground and that the Pakistan Army respects the ceasefire agreement.
The spokesperson added that the situation along the disputed border had improved after the meeting of the Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) of Pakistan and India met in late December.“Such accusation and provocative statements are regrettable and counterproductive,” the statement further read.India warns it will retaliate to attacks on LoCOn Monday, the Indian Chief of Army Staff General Bikram Singh said that his country had avenged the deaths of its soldiers allegedly killed by Pakistan along the LoC and had inflicted casualties on the Pakistani army, the Hindustan Times reported.Gen Singh further warned that India could not be expected to stick by the rules if Pakistan did not.Quoting Pakistani news reports that 10 Pakistani soldiers were killed and another 11 injured in recent clashes along the LoC, Gen Singh claimed that those casualties had been inflicted by Indian troops. “Our boys have done a stupendous job. They have retaliated well… and done their bit.”In a press conference on Monday, Gen Singh described LoC violations as a “mini war”. He added that the Indian Army would give a “befitting response” in any sector where Indian soldiers were fired on.

Will answer fire with fire, Army chief warns Pak

NEW DELHI : Army chief General Bikram Singh on Monday warned Pakistan it would get "a befitting reply'' if it created trouble along the Line of Control, even as he held it was too early to think of any withdrawal of troops or the AFSPA from J&K since there could be a terror spillover after this year's drawdown of US-led coalition forces from Afghanistan.

This comes a day after Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed, who is accused of masterminding the 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai but enjoys a free rein in Pakistan, said India would be forced to leave Kashmir just like the US was pulling out of Afghanistan.

Gen Singh said it would be "prudent to wait-and-watch'' how the situation unfolds in Afghanistan before any decision on withdrawing troops from J&K or "diluting'' the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) there is contemplated. "There may be a certain amount of spillover into J&K... there are inputs alluding to this already. We have to be on guard,'' he said.

Defence minister A K Antony had earlier asked the armed forces to be vigilant to tackle any fallout from an unstable Afghanistan, with Pakistan actively colluding with the Taliban in the war-ravaged country.

Speaking in the run-up to the Army Day on Wednesday, Gen Singh said India would be constrained to hit back with "fire assaults'' -- like it had done earlier -- if Pakistan broke the rules of engagement along the LoC.

India recorded as many as 195 ceasefire violations by Pakistan along the LoC last year, with another 50 taking place along the international border (IB), which are often used to give "covering fire'' to terrorists trying to sneak into J&K.

But what really sparked widespread outrage was the macabre beheading of an Indian soldier and mutilation of another's body in the Mendhar sector on January 8 as well as the killing of five other soldiers in the Poonch sector on August 6 by Pakistani "border action teams''.

The Indian Army "reacted offensively'' each time, killing 10 Pakistani soldiers during one such incident with targeted firing, without escalating matters to a higher level from the tactical one it was. "Freedom of action was given to our formation and unit commanders... they did their bit,'' said Gen Singh, adding the Indian soldier's beheading was "a most barbaric, inhuman and despicable act'' that defied "all laws of civilised behaviour''.

The Army chief, however, said the December 24 meeting between Indian and Pakistani DGMOs was "a move in the right direction'' to ensure the border ceasefire holds. Though the ceasefire violations have come down sharply since the DGMO-level talks, Indian troops on Monday did open fire in Kishnaghati after spotting three terrorists trying to infiltrate across. "Our DGMO will raise it with Pakistan,'' he said.

No MFN status to India for now

ISLAMABAD - Pakistan on Monday ruled out the possibility of granting Most-Favoured Nation (MFN) status to India in the trade talks to begin from Wednesday (tomorrow) in New Delhi.
“Granting MFN status to India is not part of agenda of the talks as both sides will hold negotiations on giving non-discriminatory access (NDA) to the markets of two countries,” said Minister of State for Commerce and Textile Engineer Khurram Dastgir Khan while talking to The Nation on Monday. The title of the talks will be “meeting for review of previous round of setting of fresh timelines”.

It is to note here that India’s trade with Bangladesh, for example, has more than doubled to $5.8bn since 2010. Similarly, its trade with Nepal has surged from $1.9b to $3.6bn and with Sri Lanka from $2.5bn to $4.6bn. Pakistan, on the other hand, has remained far behind to boost its trade significantly with the Saarc member countries. Its trade with Nepal is negligible and with Bangladesh $650mn and with Sri Lank $384mn.
