oh ho..did kaptaan make a strategic blunder by bad mouthing army chief? what an idiot.AsimBajwaISPR @AsimBajwaISPR
Associating #Army Chief with accepting BMW from anyone is baseless and unfounded as was shown on a TV channel Quoting IK yesterday
wait, wut? Does anyone know what this Canadian's views are on constitushun? What amendment is he talking about? Declaring shias as non Muslims or going all the way and declare a sharia state?Qadri said that the constitution would not be suspended but only amended. “We are not intending to capture the Parliament House.”
03:50AM: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Marvi Memon...the Prime Minister would resign, at any cost...“We have super doper elasticity”...“The real issue was a desperate desire [of Imran Khan] to become prime minister.”
Jai "Ho".Memon elaborated that there was a difference between red zone and red line. “Though I couldn’t disclose the red line but it would not be let cross,” she maintained.
Pakistan's proxy war in India is well known, but for the first time, India is speaking out against Pakistan-sponsored violence in Afghanistan.
After Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused Pakistan of conducting a proxy war in India last week, the Indian ambassador to Afghanistan, Amar Sinha did some plain speaking to an Afghan TV channel: "The terrorists who come to Afghanistan, do they come from Africa? Do they come from Mali or Nigeria? No. We know what these elements are; thousands of books have been written on the sanctuaries of terrorism. Unfortunately, one particular area has become a nursery for training terrorists," Sinha said. "They are located in Pakistan and it is not a secret."
On Tuesday, Afghanistan president Hamid Karzai, presiding over his last Afghan independence day celebrations in Kabul, echoed Modi publicly asking Pakistan to stop its attacks inside Afghanistan. Afghan sources told TOI their security forces have been routinely arresting or killing Pakistani regulars who were attacking Afghan border provinces in tandem with the Taliban. In preparation for a territorial battle post the US withdrawal, the Taliban, with Pakistani help, is now active in almost 14 Afghan provinces, raising serious questions about the future of the country after NATO forces leave.
While the Pakistan government did not object to Modi's accusations, they protested against Sinha. In a statement, the Pakistan embassy in Kabul, dismissing the allegations as "baseless", said, "It is against diplomatic norms to use Afghan soil to speak against a third country and try to create a rift in Afghanistan's relations with its neighbours."
In his interview, Sinha was also clear when he stressed that Taliban was being used by the ISI for their old policy of gaining strategic depth in Afghanistan. "The definition of proxy war is when any nation or agencies or institutions of a nation, take or start fighting with the neighbours but without declaring a war," he explained. "Proxy war is also an undeclared war, so in this proxy war that we see in Afghanistan, we see that terrorists are being used as the proxy of a state."
Last month, in his first meeting with the new Chinese special envoy for Afghanistan, Sun Yuxi, Karzai admitted that the peace talks were essentially with Pakistan, not Taliban, because the latter were controlled by Pakistan. Our peace talks are in fact, with Pakistan and not with the Afghan Taliban," Karzai said.

What's the difference between ISI and ISIS? One letter. That's it.
All talk and no action so far. If Immy is a real Pathan, he would have ransacked Nawaz Sharif's house and kicked his musharraf. Instead he is issuing statement after statement.The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf's Azadi march and Pakistan Awami Tehreek's Inquilab march have entered into Islamabad's Red Zone.
Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan has said that Nawaz Sharif will have to go.
“I have a new plan if Nawaz Sharif did not resign before the deadline,” he said while addressing to protesters, outside the parliament.
He said that they would not leave until Nawaz Sharif resigns. Khan appealed all Pakistanis to reach outside the Parliament House and asked police not to obey illegal orders.

Earlier2:30pm | Army takes control of security
Below is a video showing soldiers of the Pakistan Army taking position outside state institutions. As the protesters marched on to the Constitution Avenue on Tuesday night, the army had urged both the government and the protesting political parties to exercise restraint and find a way out of the crisis through dialogue.
“Situation requires patience, wisdom and sagacity from all stakeholders to resolve prevailing impasse through meaningful dialogue in larger national and public interest,” military spokesman Maj Gen Asim Bajwa said in a late night statement.
http://www.dawnxxx.com/news/1126549/red ... ecretariatAccording to a government insider with a first-hand account of the meeting, Sharif's envoys returned with good news and bad: there will be no coup but if he wants his government to survive, from now on it will have to share space with the army.
The US is engaging with the Indian and Pakistani governments on bilateral talks, which India called off while objecting to Pakistani envoy's meeting with Kashmiri separatist leaders ahead of the dialogue.
"We are engaging with the governments of both India and Pakistan directly through our embassies to talk about this issue, and again, would strongly support efforts by both countries to improve their bilateral relations," State Department Deputy Spokesperson Marie Harf told reporters.
"So it's really up to them to take steps to improve that relationship," Harf added.

He openly calls Nationalists of India as apologists for Modi, and says that since Pakistan is a nuclear power we no not have the capacity to make Pakistan change its behavior on the "core issue".
He says that India cannot start talking with Baluchistani nationalists as Baluchistan is internal issue of Pakistan while Kashmir is not a internal issue of India.(Guess who gave the same identical statements today ? Pakistani Foreign ministry and Geelani )
He writes that Pakistan is not to be faulted for what it always does (So wrong behavior done many times makes it acceptable), that the motives of the Narendra Modi government are highly suspect and he is following RSS diktat.
To think this asshole was an Ambassador!!! How did/does India survive such ba****ds? Wonder what kind of leverage/file the Paki Govt/ISI has on this abomination from Bharatvarsh?
Spoken like a true Paki Ambassador.Paradoxically, this is an argument that ought to justify the raison d'etre for engaging Pakistan today. By refusing to engage the civilian government in Pakistan, Delhi is only playing into the hands of the hardliners in that country.
But a deeper question arises here. Did he duck on own accord or under the diktat from the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. Everything depends on an answer to that profound question and we may never really get an answer here, because these are highly secretive happenings in the sub-soil.
So he starts off with claiming to know the real reason and all he has for arguments are these? These guys are silly.And, herein hangs the tale of the scuttled foreign secretary level talks. Both Delhi and Islamabad are anticipating gathering storms on the horizon. Modi's inaugural bash already looks a distant dream, as ancient passions take over.
"So it's really up to them to take steps to improve that relationship," Harf added.
CheersNEW DELHI: Pakistan remains hopeful of strengthening ties with India despite an angry New Delhi last week cancelling scheduled talks between the two countries, Pakistan’s high commissioner to India said on Wednesday.
Abdul Basit said Pakistan was confident of “overcoming this setback” after Delhi called off the diplomatic talks in Islamabad in a blow to warmer ties between the new Indian government and Islamabad.

I mean how dumb are these idiots.There will always be political excuses not to take risks. Both leaders have challenges at home, but Mr. Modi, who won a huge victory in the May election, is in the strongest political position, while Mr. Sharif is facing street protests led by politicians seeking his ouster.
Not foolish or dangerous but it is insanity you retarded morons. It is insanity to continue talks with those who dont have guns in Pakistan.What’s needed is a meeting between the leaders to establish a continuing dialogue. Next month’s United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York offers a good venue. It would be foolish and dangerous to let this episode destroy the chance for a more stable relationship.
