Reported in Dunya (May 17, 2015) Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority has told television news channels not to use honorable titles (ba izzat alqaab) with the names of terrorists. They must not use such titles as Molvi, Qari, Mufti or Hafiz with the names of terrorists, neither should they be called Doctor or Engineer. - See more at: http://www.thefridaytimes.com/tft/nugge ... iK1Ho.dpuf

The train bridge accident thing (as far as i can gather) is people palming off blame.

Apparently the bridge has been classified "extremely dangerous". Nobody repaired or maintained the bridge. It collapsed when this train passed by, this train had goods coaches attached to it and it wasnt clear if they followed weight and max loading norms. Then everyone and their grandmother related to railways immediately yelled "RAAAAAA KANSPEERACEEEEE!!!!!" so that they arent debriefed and lamposted by the army. Army might have tried them in a military court for negligence and thrown them into a dungeon, TFTAs are that powerful these days. Every petty little crime is being labeled "terrorism" these days in Pakiland and being tried in military court. Who inspected the bridge? Who inspected the train to make sure it wasnt overloaded? Did the driver follow speed norms? Was any action taken on the report that the bridge was old and dangerous? All of these people would have been tried for "terrorism" in a military court and sent to a ISI dungeon. It benefits everyone to yell "RAAAAAAAA!!!!!!"

One worthy declared that all trains including the last train went over the bridge without any incident, then how come this one broke the bridge and fell down

Here is a riddle (inspired from TFT).

Question: 3 trains went over a Paki bridge yesterday, one in the morning, one in noon, one in the evening. one of them broke the bridge and fell down in a canal. Which train was it? The morning, noon or evening train?

Answer: How would I know, I am not a railway engineer.

Contrary to what some of us initially thought, I doubt if the train was transporting maal. If that was the case, officers wouldnt be taking their families with them. Also, from the names of dead officers, it would have been possible by this time to ascertain whether they belonged to strategic forces command (SFC). Besides we have sat feeds that would have set off alarm bells if there was any removal of maal immediately after the accident.

It is yet another case of daily life happening in Pukiland only that this time the Fauji were at the receiving end of the overall incompetence instead of the aam abduls.

schinnas, IMHO, we should not come to that conclusion just because the families of officers were on board. None other than Ms. C. Fair has said that the SFC transports the maal in unmarked trucks without any convoy or extensive protection, lest it catches attention. Pakistan would use every subterfuge.

When it comes to Pakistan, it is prudent to assume the worst case and then heave a sigh of relief if it turns out otherwise!

By Lahori logic, this is the holy month of Ramadan and all Baki trains are pious. The morning and noon trains observe 'fast'. Hence bridge does not break. However, only the evening train is allowed to break(up) fast.

Modi may meet Nawaz Sharif on the sidelines of SCO Summit in Russia next week - Dipanjan Roy Chaudhury, Economic Times

The possibility of a formal meeting between Narendra Modi and his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Russia next week brightened with both sides showing flexibility for a dialogue and amid calls by the US and other global powers to reduce tension in South Asia.

"No side has contacted the other for a meeting so far. However, as you would be aware, in any multilateral setting, meetings among heads of state and government is a normal feature," Pakistan Foreign Office Spokesman Qazi Khalilullah said on Thursday

Meanwhile, sources in the Indian government neither ruled out nor confirmed the possibility of a Modi-Sharif meeting in the Russian city of Ufa, raising speculations of a dialogue.

However, a meeting in Ufa should not be construed as resumption of formal dialogue, Indian government sources indicated. The developments come amid the US hope that New Delhi and Islamabad would work on issues between them.

There are also indications that Russia and China would also like two PMs to have a dialogue. Both India and Pakistan are expected to be made members of SCO at the July 9-10 summit, upgrading their status from observers.

End of Khyber II - Edit in DAWN

It should be noted that Operation Khyber-II has not resulted in actual physical control by the military of all three passes from Tirah into Afghanistan — though the unreclaimed valleys of one of the three passes can, according to the military, be controlled by aerial firepower because the military now occupies the peaks over them.

This means two things. One, Operation Khyber-II may require another phase for the total recapture of Tirah. Two, the military may apparently be forced into the continued use of air strikes in the Rajgal and Kachkol valleys to prevent the movement of militants until winter.

At that point, with the onset of the cold season, a new challenge will emerge if the valleys have not been taken over by the military by then — ensuring a military presence in tough and inhospitable terrain while simultaneously guarding against hardened militants slipping in under the cover of extreme temperatures.

Mrs Imran Khan

Says That Sind Govt 'apathetic'Towards Heat Wave Victims

KARACHI: Reham Khan, wife of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, said Saturday that the approach of the Sindh government towards heatwave victims was apathetic.

Earlier, speaking upon her arrival in Karachi outside the Jinnah International Airport, Reham said that she had personally organised a shelter where people can come and seek respite from the heat during the day.

"We will provide water, iftar and a cool environment for our brothers and sisters for however long this difficult time prevails."

An interesting question that should have been asked her would be the source of funding for this 'charitable act'- personal monies (unlikely) or KPK provincial funds (?) or as usual (most likely) it is just a publicity gimmick to prepare her entry in Paki politics.

(Remember Zardari's 'famous' personal cash donation to Ajmer Sharif dargah; turned out that the monies ultimately came from the Paki Treasury!)

Some of the readers' comments are very interesting :
one reader sarcastically commented that in spite of her earlier denials, she is embarking on a new career - politics
Another reader stated (true or not !) that her hubby was enjoying the cool climes of Londonistan, while the Karachi heat wave was in full swing

Conclusion: Just a publicity stunt, nothing else

Islamabad Shopping Mall Practices Class Discrimination

Islamabad's Centaurus Mall starts charging Rs100 entry fee, but only from a select few

Islamabad’s biggest shopping mall, Centaurus Mall, has come under fire after it announced on Thursday that some visitors will be required to purchase entry coupons.

Maybe, this is one way to discourage , the unwashed aam abduls from enjoying the 'free airconditioning'

and using the 'marble floor' as a public toilet .

The public notice listed 23 types of people who will not have to purchase the entry coupons. Those exempted include all women and children under 12, senior citizens, lawmakers and executives, diplomats and foreigners, journalists and lawyers, members of country clubs, doctors and teachers. Further, the notice said, “famous players of hockey, cricket, football and golf” and “celebrities” do not have to purchase the entry coupon.

Who is in charge of implementation

However, the mall management defended the move as a measure to facilitate customers.

“To ensure that shopping at Centaurus does not become inconvenient to them, we have decided to introduce an entry coupon of Rs100 per person,” the public notice read.

Are shopping malls 'halal' under 'Sharia Law' - Just wondering

SAHIWAL: Heritage is more than a record of the past. It should become living and an integral part of both rural and urban identity for future generations.

This is moving away from simply developing inventory or depository of artefacts, monuments, remains or material resources to something like living phenomena becoming part and parcel of people’s social behaviours and practices.

This was stressed by Punjab Higher Education Commission (PHEC) Chairman Dr Nizamuddin while presiding over a seminar on ‘The role of higher education in promoting and preserving cultural heritage’ organised by the Comsats Institute of information Technology’s (CIIT) Department of Heritage Studies in collaboration with PHEC on Wednesday.

He said this practice actually kept heritage alive and linked the past with present and future so people could take pride in ownership of that heritage. He also added Harappa was a living heritage of the people of the land and higher educational institutes must teach such disciplines.

Renowned archaeologist Dr Rafique Mughal said the purpose of the seminar was to introduce and bring questions of identity and heritage to higher academic institutes. He said Comsats had developed a heritage study department that was the only department in Punjab where living history and culture would be taught.

CIIT Director Dr Abdul Waheed said even educated people in Pakistan had no sense of association with the great civilisations of this region, popularly called the Gandhara and Indus Valley civilisations.

etc., etc.

The Indian intelligence agencies have sounded an alert following reports suggesting that the Islamic State (Isis) has been spreading its territory to the Afghanistan-Pakistan (AfPak) region as it poses great security threat to India.

In view of the recent developments, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to bring forth the issue of Isis threat to south Asia for discussion during his bilateral visits to five central Asian republics starting 6 July.[*][/b]

The matter will also come up for discussion at the BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summits in the second week of July. Modi is likely to discuss it with Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif when they will meet for the[*][/b] SCO summit.

MI- 6 Is Shielding Altaf Hussein

NEW DELHI (Web Desk) – “Altaf Hussain is a guest of MI6 in Britain and all questions about him should be answered by MI6,” said A S Dulat, the former chief of India’s notorious spy agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW). He was talking to an Indian Tv Channel NDTV recently.
During the interview when asked about his opinion on recent allegations on RAW about supporting MQM, a political party which has allegedly been involved in terrorism and criminal activities in Pakistan’s largest city Karachi, he brushed off the accusations by claiming that MI6 is hosting Altaf Hussain in London despite his party’s questionable activities and any question about MQM or its chief Altaf Hussain should be directed to the MI6.

“British interest in the MQM is largely driven by the perception that the party offers a defence against jihadis. But there is more to it than that. The MQM is British turf: Karachi is one of the few places left on earth in which the Americans let Britain take the lead. The US consulate in Karachi no longer runs active intelligence gathering operations in the city. The British still do. When it comes to claiming a place at the top table of international security politics – London’s relationship with the MQM is a remaining toehold,” he writes.

Should Not Have Ignored Role Of His Grandfather In The Breakup Of Pakistan

Exactly 38 years ago on 5th July 1977, the military regime of General Zia ul Haq overthrew the democratically-elected government of PPP founder Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.
PPP Chairman Bilawal said his maternal grandfather Zulfikar Ali Bhutto had “collected the pieces of a shattered Pakistan in 1971, gave it a Constitution, laid foundations of country’s biggest industrial units like Pakistan Steel, Heavy Mechanical Complex etc. He founded the nuclear programme to make the defence of Pakistan invincible, introduced one-man one-vote, land reforms and several other historic projects to put the country on sound tracks.

Zaid Hamid reportedly sentenced to eight years prison, 1,200 lashes for criticising Saudi govt

LAHORE (Web Desk) – Prominent hardline commentator and self-styled ‘Defense Analyst’ Zaid Hamid has been sentenced for eight years and 1,200 lashes for criticizing Saudi government, according to circles close to Mr. Hamid and in touch with recent developments in his case.

After being reported by several Pakistani websites, the news spread like wild fire on Pakistani social media stirring a highly charged debate between his zealous supporters and foes .

However, a confirmation from Pakistani embassy in Riydah couldn’t been received.

Earlier, Hamid was arrested during a private visit to the Kingdom with his wife. He was apparently taken into custody after making speeches against the Saudi government.

“Our embassy in Riyadh has informed us that Mr Zaid Hamid was arrested about two weeks ago. Since then, the embassy has been working with the local authorities to get consular access,” Foreign Office spokesperson Qazi Khalilullah told a news briefing in Islamabad on Thursday.

“Due to the efforts of the embassy, his wife was able to talk to him. Again, due to the efforts of the embassy, his wife will be able to meet with him on 30 June,” he said without giving further details.

In 2013, a former aide who left Hamid’s organisation accused him of being on the payrolls of the Inter-Services Intelligence agency to wage psychological operations against those opposed to the Pakistani security establishment.

The Pakistani Foreign Office might have intervened to request mercy/clemency, except that he's spent the last 15 years ridiculing their bosses as traitors & cowards. So, they're pretty much willing have the canes send over from Pakistan if needed. Army doesn't seem too bothered ("real men can take a spanking or two").

Zaid Hamid caused ‘defamation of Pakistan’, laments Rasheed

LAHORE: Federal Information Minister Pervez Rasheed on Saturday expressed embarrassment over Zaid Hamid’s issue saying that the ‘other world countries are being bothered by us’, ARY News reported.
Taking exception to Zaid Hamid on the occasion of an Iftar dinner at Aiwan-e-Iqbal, Pervez Rasheed said the defense analyst caused ‘defamation of Pakistan’.
However, he said the Foreign Office (FO) of Pakistan is looking after the matter and is in contact with the Saudi authorities.

When asked about rigging allegations by Tehreek-i-Insaf, the minister declined to comment until the judicial commission does not announce its verdict.
Rasheed, however, suggested Imran Khan to be cautious from his ‘close friends’ regarding 35 punctures issue.

In response to a query about Muttahida Qaumi Movement, he said the government is in touch with the UK authorities with regard to Altaf Hussain and MQM, however the matter will be discussed after the evidences come forth.

In his word about the National Action Plan, Pervez Rasheed said the attorney general will present the government’s stance in the Supreme Court, yet it is not a plan to be executed within a day and is being acted upon phase by phase.

A couple of weeks ago, Zaid Hamid had been arrested in Saudi Arabia for reportedly criticizing the Kingdom for its aggressive stance in Yemen.

A Saudi court also sentenced the defense analyst to 1,000 lashes and 8 years of imprisonment.

Pakistan’s Foreign Office is trying these days to obtain consular access to Hamid. He had been in Saudi Arabia for offering Umrah.

Answer: How would I know, I am not a railway engineer.
My question is........do they have that many trains?

Sorry for slight OT but real question has to do with math rather than engineering..Number "3" occupies a special place.

Again sorry if you have heard it before but the story is that a few years ago, Pakis hired a Romanian Math coach to coach their math olympiad team.. (I guess some were concerned as all Paki team members got zero in past International contest, so they wanted to improve )..

So this new coach, try to entrust some fun and enthusiasm, divided the pool of best of Paki students in two groups (A&B) and started a game by asking the group A:

Name the highest number they can think of.

(The coach was trying to introduce some number theory concepts by giving example that all numbers have some special property)

The group A, after some consultation, gave the answer

3

The group B, thought for about 20 minutes - with some intense consultation within themselves.. then replied:

We concede defete.. group A wins!!

Story has become classic... (This is why you always hear about "3 trains", "Alqeda #3".. and so on...very rarely any number greater than 3)

Forced closure: Textile millers decide to close down business after Eid

LAHORE: Punjab-based textile millers have decided to close down their industrial units, blaming direct and indirect taxes coupled with the energy crisis as the core reason for them to take the extreme step.

“We had persuaded our members to not go on strike but the current scenario has tied their hands and they have no choice but to opt for the closure,” said All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (Aptma) Chairman SM Tanveer.

The textile industry consumes about 2,000MW of electricity, most of which is consumed in Punjab.

Tanveer said the additional tax translated into an extra burden of Rs200 million per day on the textile industry. The power tariff in all regional economies is lower than 10 cents while Pakistani spinners, after the levy of tax, are charged 14 cents per unit.

“Against Pakistan’s textile exports of $13 billion, the industry will be paying an additional $1 billion in new power and energy taxes imposed in the budget,” he said. “Which industry could bear an additional 9% expenditure when it cannot recover the money from exports?”

Cheers

One of the reasons why Lal topi getting his Musharraf whipped is as follows: Paki anchors and "analysts" were acting all smart criticizing Saudi establishment. Including that gas bag ejaz who said something to the effect of "if Saudis cannot protect the two holy mosques after taking so much weapons from Americans, they should let it be managed by Pakistan army". This is a message to such people reminding them to behave or face consequences during their next pious trip. How do we know Lal topi made a speech criticizing the Saudi monarchy *in* Saudi? Maybe he is being whipped for what he said about Saudis in Pakistan.

Possibly Zaid calculates that he will be released by ISIS and will return to Pakistan to a hero's welcome. He will then be used to marshal the forces of Khoresan etc for the Big Ghazwa.
