Pakistan claims use of first indigenous armed drone.
A Pakistani identity card in the bushes, a Bangladeshi one in a cornfield. A torn Iraqi driver's license bearing the photo of a man with a Saddam-style mustache, another one with a scarfed woman displaying a shy smile.
Documents scattered only metres from Serbia's border with Hungary provide evidence that many of the migrants flooding Europe to escape war or poverty are scrapping their true nationalities and likely assuming new ones, just as they enter the European Union.
[*]The Aam Abduls of Pakistan are in the forefront of this humanitarian crisis and taking whatever advantage they can to pose themselves as innocent victimsAmong those who had no second thoughts about ditching their true identity was Rafik from Pakistan.
"I'm leaving my old life behind," said Rafik, who gave only his first name because he feared repercussions when applying for asylum in Germany. "I'm starting a new one."
"I don't have a passport, nor any other identity paper,"[*] he said, as he dashed under the fence into Hungary. "Let's see which country they will choose to kick me back to."
RAWALPINDI: Army Chief General Raheel Sharif on Sunday said the time has come to resolve the Kashmir issue according to the UN resolutions. Answering the provocative statements of Indian leaders, he said Pakistan is ready for any ‘traditional’ or ‘non-traditional’ war, and any ‘cold’ or ‘hot start’.[*]
Indian Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore today indicated at conducting, a covert or a special operation in Pakistan to take out Dawood Ibrahim and Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed.
In an interview with a private news channel, Rathore said that India could launch a special operation to net Ibrahim and Saeed as his country was always ready to ‘neutralize’ its enemies.
“Enemies of India should never think on the lines that we are not hammering out any planning about them,” he said.
Responding to a question, the minister said that “we are evolving a strategy against the accused of Mumbai attacks, but it should not be talked about before it is launched”.
“We might talk about it after it’s over. It depends on whether the government says, it should be a covert operation or a special operation,” he said.
India has accused Saeed of masterminding the 2008 attack on its financial capital Mumbai when gunmen killed 166 people. India also believes that Ibrahim, wanted for 1993 Mumbai bombings, was sheltering in Karachi. Pakistan denies that it shelters Ibrahim.
Answering a question, Rathore said that every available option will be used to take out the two. He said that the Indian government believed that dialogue was the best option for ironing out differences with Pakistan, but that was only possible when there was a cessation to terrorism.
As long as there is an agent in Pakistan which can offer USA the promise of being able to do its bidding of containment of India and creating chaos in heart of Asia, USA would continue to dole out money and weapons to that agent.SSridhar wrote:If the US interests in Pakistan wanes because its utility has waned, it is the job of Pakistan to make itself wanted once more all over again.
INBREEDINGABAD: Federal Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Monday said the state will now take action against those calling others kafir (non-Muslim), adding that the government had already tackled hate speech and glorification of terrorists in the first phase.Briefing the media after the government’s talks with representatives from Tanzeemul Madaris, which includes office bearers from different seminaries across the country, the interior minister said both sides had agreed to take the madressah reforms process further, adding there was consensus on major issues.
Nisar said the clerics had also agreed to present audit reports of their funds, adding that the government will come up with a process to regulate foreign funding.He said both sides agreed that force alone was not enough to eliminate terrorism, with efforts on an intellectual level equally important.Nisar said a committee representing all sections of society will be formed by the interior ministry to review madressah curriculum and present recommendations.Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif called for immediate reforms in curriculum of religious seminaries in order to provide students with a world view which may help the nation counter extremism.Presiding over a session on Monday, attended by religious scholars from different school of thoughts and representatives of seminary boards 'Ittehad-e-Tanzeemul Madaris', the premier stressed upon the need for voluntary reforms in the curriculum of madressahs (seminaries) — both for imparting better education and countering extremism.He told the religious scholars that it was necessary to consult them to effectively execute the national anti-terror plan.“Religious seminaries are a valuable source of religious education but spreading hate against other sects, religions shall not be allowed”, Nawaz told the session.The religious scholars assured their full cooperation with the government in the reforms process.".[/b]
It is all about geopolitics. The future of large number of people ~20% of the world population Indians need to be guided for a better future.dsreedhar wrote:
For me it is so sad to see India is having such a hard time to get its rightful position in UNSC seat. China with its poor human rights record and not so great social indicator still has the seat. All that doesn't matter in world affairs.
Indians have to work for the good future and create the future. India has the ability to choose the future it wants.The new team in power in India knows this and is making amends to the false policies and thinking of the past. Hope one day in our lifetime we will see India with its glory we dream of.
One reader has commented that E Bay, Pay-Pal and Amazon do not allow a Pakistani seller or any transaction originating in Pakistan, is because of the rampant fraud that takes place ( stolen C.C, not shipping items, false advtg, etc, etc ).However, for businesses from Pakistan, there are barriers to entry. Amazon, Ebay and Paypal do not allow Pakistani merchants to use their services for selling goods.
Sir don't quite agree with that. Their population is out of control, the government doesn't have any control over large swaths of territory where the writ of the local strongmen or warlords runs, army runs large businesses and press/civil society freedom is non existent, there is little mass employing industry - pretty much negligible industry output of any importance, it's a largely agrigarian economy in 21st century and I'm pretty sure their yield is stagnant as well. Then there is the problem of Islam of course - a confused population with no sense of belonging or heritage of culture.dsreedhar wrote:Good post Shiv. I have similar observations and thoughts about International community and Pakistan.
Fully agree - "In the "international community" no one is comparing social indicators like nutrition or infant mortality when it comes to relations between states."
Pakistan is just treading along fine with its benefactors bailing it out as needed. Pakistan's economy and social situation is not as bad nor going any bad as projected. The big cities are bustling with good economic activity, infrastructure building and investments from outside coming in just fine. Aam abduls from cities migrating to western world in science professions and as students just fine. The populace is having access to all the latest digital and electronic accessories of the modern world. Now coming to aam abduls in the country side, i guess they are just happy to be religiously exploited by the elite. No revolt no change is expected from them in size in a long long time or never. Pakistan International relations have not soured any. Just some marginal ups and downs irrespective of its open proof bad behavior in the modern civilized world. So Pak elite and army will continue to do what they want.
Map # 1Ever since India changed the map of Pakistan in 1971, Pakistan has been dying to do the same to India. Here are seven such maps some Pakistanis fantasize about:
Map # 21. Real India is only Gujarat and Bihar. Rest all are potential independent nations:
Map # 32. Gujarat is no longer India, but Pakistan. But a large part of India is now back to being India:
Map # 43. Some maps had expiry date. For example, this map was supposed to get realized by 2012. Too bad didn’t happen:
Map # 54. 2012 target could not be achieved, but there is one waiting to be realized in 2020:
Map # 65. “PakNationalists” have one more map that they think India can be broken into:
6. Pakistan all over India, except in 5 places:
7. Somehow, they don’t want Goa. Perhaps those beaches are too hot for them:
This year a tax has been accidentally imposed on services providers which is silently killing many businesses operating in the formal sector. A minimum tax of eight percent on revenues was imposed on services providing companies, which is simply making many business models unviable as virtually all these businesses operate with high volumes and low margins. FBR apparently never had the intention to do so; but it just happened, it is a comedy of errors. Or perhaps a sad tale of oversight.
A relevant question to ask is what action was taken, if any, was taken against the bungling bureaucrats ?Theoretically this tax cannot be completely passed on. If the service providers try to do so, their consumers will not accept the associated price hike; many of them may opt for the informal segment. This tax is against the spirit of broadening the tax base. The excessive use of withholding tax has resulted in shrinking of the number of tax payers to half - 1.8 million in FY06 to 0.85 million in FY15 and minimum tax on services is even worse!
Bad Sharif, unlike Ashphuck is intent on cleaning house and putting it in order as far as domestic terrorism is concerned. He has demonstrated persistence, military power, negotiations, diplomacy and pressure from the background on politicians and the police. Obviously the Anti-India jihadis and the "good taliban" still are untouched.The freezing of over 200 bank accounts of unregistered madrassas last week has created a new controversy. Commercial banks started freezing these accounts on the instructions of the State Bank of Pakistan, in a bid to track sources of seminaries’ funds and choke all possible means of terror funding as envisaged by the National Action Plan against terrorism.
All banks have also stopped opening fresh accounts of seminaries until they get themselves registered under a new mechanism introduced by the religious affairs ministry.
A video I posted in the Shitistan Multimedia thread pointed out that textiles were Pakistan's main export in 1954Pakistan exports rice, kinnows, mangoes, furniture, cotton fiber, cement, tiles, marble, textiles, clothing, leather goods, sports goods (renowned for footballs/soccer balls), Cutlery, surgical instruments, electrical appliances, software, carpets, rugs, ice cream, livestock meat, chicken, powdered milk, wheat, seafood ...

Anujan - all this is fake. Bad Sharif is as much a fart as any of the others and has less power than Musharraf had. More than 50% of Pakistan's economy is outside the banking system and runs on cash, hawala and "services'. "Freezing bank accounts" is simply a ploy to fool Americans who think the whole world is like them - running on plastic and that freezing Bank accounts means dekhonomoney.Anujan wrote:The Sharif brothers are being dragged kicking and screaming to atleast cosmetically clean up the radicalization in Pakjab
