What are these security guards doing here? Are they hoping to attack Nilofar with their machine guns?

footage of TSP POWs and Sam maneckshaw on a inspection tour post war ..regretfully the GOI did not let the lynch mobs take care of collaborators...see IGs adviser speak of principles and norms....usual dharmic claptrap ... we even protected the POWs from hostile bengalis...we had to take on a huge logistic headache to get these scoundrels back to india and then back to TSP....the allies in contrast let some 600,000 german POWs freeze to death in camps the winter of the war and the russians made them do years of hard labour in siberia before letting any off. looks like we kept these monsters in comfortable camps in bihar, fed them biryani to recover their lost strength and then sent them home to continue their career of mayhem and jihadism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDjfq-CQULk

Why don't these nuts spell out what these subtle strategies are?
Our growing power ought to be felt by our adversaries and not flaunted
Again, sounds very posh. How should Pak soldiers in LoC border feel our power? Will that dissuade them from shelling?
A standard characteristic of the Eng lang media elites is that they want us to think they are sophisticated and well-versed in the art of chankian-diplomacy, when in reality they know fck-all. They all think shelling , raw power is uncouth from the Indian side - but dont have alternate ideas either.
The only reason I can think of is that once they become explicit, they are no longer subtle.
All reminds me of Nixon's 1968 "I have a plan to end the Vietnam war---but I'm not going to tell you what it is."
LUCKNOW From the common man on the street to the head of Asia's most important Islamic seminary Darul Uloom Deoband (DuD), various sections of the Muslim community on Friday condemned and questioned the decision of Syed Ahmed Bukhari, shahi imam of Delhi's Jama Masjid, to overlook Prime Minister Narendra Modi and invite Pakistani PM Nawaz Sharif for the coronation of his son as the naib imam (imam's deputy) on November 22.
“Muslims must accept Asian and Pakistani men are grooming young girls off the street for sexual abuse and do more to stop it, senior CPS prosecutor says”
Activities of those originating in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan have certainly brought ill repute to the Mohammadden religion.
JI chief's death sentence: Bangladesh govt hell bent on opening old wounds, says Nisar
Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar on Saturday expressed his concern and reservation over Bangladesh awarding death penalty to Jamaat-e-Islami chief Motiur Rahman Nizami.
“Though what happens in Bangladesh is that country’s internal matter, yet Pakistan cannot remain divorced from references to 1971 and its aftermath,” Nisar said.
“It is highly unfortunate that almost 45 years after those tragic chain of events, the Bangladeshi government still seems to be living in the past and totally ignoring the time tested virtue of forgive and forget,” the interior minister lamented.
Nisar said he was perplexed over why Bangladesh remains hell bent upon digging up the graves of the past and reopening old wounds.
Soon they will say the same thing about Indians too. Why do Indians keep harping about Mumbai 26/11? Hardly 160 odd people died. In Pakistan thousands of people have died because of terrorism.
ParthaJi, which world are you living in? TSP said that the day after 26/11. They continue to thumb their nose ever since. TSP RAPE, honored guests on UnDy mock India's pain, they caricature it by saying India is milking 26/11, they cite the mountain of evidence showing their complicity in that evil as "literaure", their so called "moderates" have the chutzpah to brazenly aver that the foot soldiers who undertook the gory 26/11 slaughter as "social workers", and they will laugh with contempt any suggestion that this was a state sponsored act of war. What more do you need? India was humiliated on 26/11, and it sunk to its lowest depth when its so called PM, MMS, pissed on the victims' faces by surrendering to TSP in Thimpu, Bhutan, by asserting that that TSP is a "victim" of terror and India is as culpable in Baluchistan, and drove the final nail on India's 26/11 coffin by training his guns on "Hindu terrorism".
Puki Ex-Brigadier saying (lying) that since most of the civilians who stay on the Indian side of the border are Muslims, the paki army targets only military personnel or check posts when they fire whereas Indian army targets only civilians and hence they are immoral. Full on Lahori logic on display.
WASHINGTON - The United States State Department approved a possible Foreign Military Sale to Pakistan of eight Global Response Cutters and associated equipment, parts, training and logistical support for an estimated cost of $350 million, to safeguard its coastal areas, it was officially announced Friday.“The Defence Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale,” the announcement said.“The Government of Pakistan has requested the purchase of 8 43-meter Global Response Cutters (GRC43M). Each Cutter will be a mono-hull design made of Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP),” the agency said. Also included in this sale: outfitted 8 25mm or 30mm Naval Gun Systems, 32 M2-HB .50 calibre machine guns, 32 7.62mm guns, 8 8- meter Rigid Inflatable Boats, ballistic/armour protection of critical spaces, command and control equipment, communication equipment, navigation equipment, support equipment, spare and repair parts, tools and test equipment, technical data and publications, personnel training, US government and contractor engineering, technical, and logistics support services, and other related elements of logistics and programme support.“This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a country vital to US foreign policy and national security goals in South Asia,” the agency said.“This sale will enhance Pakistan’s ability to enforce the rule of law over its coastal areas to safeguard seaborne energy corridors, deter the outbreak of piracy along the north Arabian Sea, and curtail the trafficking of narcotics and other illicit goods.“These vessels provide the Pakistan Navy with the capability for medium to long endurance coverage of its 660 miles of coastline. Pakistan will have no difficulty absorbing GRC43M Cutters into its armed forces.”It said the sale will not alter the basic military balance in the region.The GRC43M cutters Pakistan seeks are mono-hull boats, about 141 feet in length and made of glass-reinforced plastic. The principal contractor for the deal would be Westport Shipyards, which is located in Port Angeles, Washington State.
“Safe haven for Mohammaddens of the Indian Sub-Continent”, “Islamic Republic”, “Citadel of Islam”, “Ideological Muslim State” and “Sole Islamic Nuclear Weapon Power”, puts three Mohammadden Clerics in preventive detention for purpose of Maintenance of Public Order.
Seems rather draconian and Un-Mohammadden for the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to place Ulema in preventive custody given that they are as it were “spokesmen” for what is claimed by adherents to be “The Religion of Peace” and thus would surely utter and do all manner of peaceful things posing no threat to public order. :
The only way to prevent Green on Green Intra-Mohammadden religion motivated sectarian killing in an overwhelmingly Mohammadden religion majority country that claims to have been formed as the safe haven for the Mohamaddens of the Indian Sub-Continent like the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, is to take drastic measures.
Cell phones banned during the Muharram festival celebrated by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan’s Shia sectarian minority:
^^^ Haha, see, they are so dedicated to Mohammedan safety that they will take drastic measures that sickular countries won't do and that non-believers won't support.
^^^^ What are you talking about??!! Its not about safety, they are going to increase face to face interaction within Bakistan during Muharram. Cellphones are not pure enough to be ijjlamic you seee...

Just look at the audacity of this Chaudhry to claim old wounds etc. The wounds are on Bangladeshi bodies, not Pakistanis. He also has the audacity to demand 'forgive and forget' from the Bangladeshis after massacring 10 million of them, raping a million and driving out another 10 million. Pakistan did not even get a rap on its knuckles for that and he is saying Bangladesh is 'hell bent' on resurrecting old wounds ! All this for what ? Bangladesh awarding death sentence to one of its own citizens !! After a couple of years, Pakistan will demand the same from India for 26/11 as well. Ah, the Pakis !!!
BEIJING: WITH rising concerns in Beijing on the spread of terror from Pakistan hitting its frontier Xinjiang region, China seems to be rethinking its long-held reluctance to discuss regional concerns - particularly in New Delhi and Kabul - on cross border terrorism emanating from Pakistan.
Indian and Afghan officials present at the fourth "Istanbul process" foreign ministerial Afghanistan Conference being held in Beijing told MAIL TODAY there was a discernible shift in China's stand on terrorism.
It comes in the wake of a string of attacks in China's Muslim-majority frontier region, blamed by the authorities on the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM), some of whose members are thought to be hiding near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
Terrorism received prominent attention at Friday's consultations.
And unusually for a meeting being hosted in Beijing, Afghan officials were outspoken about their concerns on extremist groups operating close to the Pakistan border.

I pray that Badmash will have the tactical brilliance to accept the invite and show up.
The Chinese won't take seriously logic of paki also suffer from paki terror. Indians have bought this nonsense but other than India, pakis can't show anything but begging bowl.

We should not allow such incidents to interrupt the uninterruptible peace process. Proves that Pakistan is a victim of terrorism and should be consoled by being given Cashmere.

Initially the explosion had been reported as a ‘cylinder explosion’.
I must admit that Pakis have a more efficient way of putting an end to that silly border ceremony that leads to so much equal equal.
