Could you please post a link to the article/interview where Tellis has said all this?venug wrote:Ashley Tellis has lost it and he is wrong. He says India is not joining CPEC because China is not engaging or has offered anything to India for our side of J&K. As if, if only China throws a carrot or two, India will wag it's tail and happily join CPEC. CPEC is more about occupation of TSP and make it it's bi$$$ and to counter India. So basically asking China on the lines of TSP to collaborate on projects in J&K is nothing but gift wrapping J&K into the hands of TSP and China. what nonsense.

Sadly, the presentations by most Pakistani PhD’s were uninteresting, others were wrong. One was even laughably wrong. Probably the worst was by a professor who was not just a ‘doctor’ but a ‘professor doctor’.
Like cartoon generals who have won no wars but have medals stuck to oversized chests, Pakistan now has legions of highly paid ignoramus cartoon professors.
there is no actual research behind most of these so-called research papers. The internet has placed at an author’s fingertip vast amounts of literature from which to freely cut and paste, invent data, and plagiarise ideas
Then Hoodbhoy suggests that a paki PhD should be retested every ten years. If that were to happen, then,a thoughtless government policy that pays by the number of research papers and PhD’s produced allows cheats to get rich. Unable to tell good from bad, the Pakistan Council for Science and Technology actively encourages our professors to pillage public property

They sponsored terrorism in the past, but that view has changed per Ashley
OMG! Is he being polite to China or to Pakistan. That is SO FAR away from the truth.
The fact is that Pakistan dare not carry out a major terror strike on India of the nature of 26/11 because of Modi. They are trying to do things like derail trains and trying to win local politicians to create trouble and fish in troubled waters

As the recent meeting between Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan and chief of army staff General Qamar Bajwa is making rounds and casting doubts over the purpose of meeting, Senior journalist Mujeeb ur Rehman Shami has divulged chunks from Khan’s meeting with previous COAS held during his anti-regime sit-ins.
Talking in his program Nuqta-e-Nazar, Shami said that during PTI’s anti-PML-N sit-ins in the capital, Khan’s meeting with general Raheel Sharif had ended up disappointing the former because of Khan’s utter disregard for ‘professionalism’. [“Khan kept calling him by his first name which irked the general,” Shami said.( Shami seems to have a "direct pipeline" to the Bad Sharif !)
Many people interpreted Khan’s recent meeting with Gen Bajwa as having a greater meaning while the country awaits the Supreme Court’s verdict in the high-profile Panama Papers case embroiling the family of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
.Hours after the meeting, Khan announced that Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa “stands by democracy”. Immy "cultivating" the "Ahmedi COAS"![]()
(I haven't seen the video) When Americans speak about terrorism, they speak only about terrorism directed against them. So, he may be right because nowadays, we do not hear much at all about Pakistanis plotting terror in the US.Gagan wrote:Ashley Tellis,

A Pakistan Army Mushshak aircraft crash-landed in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Mattani area in the village of Painda Khan near Peshawar on Thursday, security sources told DawnNews.Although the aircraft was partially damaged in the crash-landing, the pilot aboard the aircraft is safe, the security sources said.The Mushshak basic trainer is a light-weight, single engine aircraft. It can operate from any short unprepared strip and is ideal for basic flight training, instrument flying, aerobatics, stalls and deliberate spins, night flying, navigation flying and formation flying :( "best" in world !) . Pakhtun revenge in KP (pot shot taken at the plane ), engine and /or design failure, pilot incompetency, bad weather - too many possibilities

MULTAN/MUZAFFARGARH: Though the crushing operation in the three sugar mills owned by the Sharif family has been stopped for the last two months on the directions of the Supreme Court, the mills owe farmers over Rs400 million on sugarcane dues, Dawn has learnt.On Feb 8, a three-member bench of the Supreme Court headed by Chief Justice Saqib Nisar, had ordered halting the crushing operations of the mills while hearing a case on the shifting of the Ittefaq Sugar Mills from Sahiwal to Bahawalpur, Haseeb Waqas Sugar Mills from Nankana Sahib to Muzaffargarh and Chaudhry Sugar Mills from Toba Tek Singh to Rahim Yar Khan. Ganja's minions and chamchas at work !
Saeed Ahmed, a sugarcane farmer from Kot Samaba (RY Khan), said the mill administration had tried to remove the sugar stock from the mill after a couple of days of the court orders, but the farmers resisted.“We were on alert after the court order and kept manning the mill gates for five days,” he said. Donald Trump has also been known to use similar underhand tactics to gyp his suppliers of their due !
He said that Chaudhry Munir, father-in-law of Mehrunnisa Safdar, the granddaughter of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, intervened and asked the brother of local PML-N MNA to clear payments. ( "Sharif" khandaan to the rescue )He says the estimated dues were about Rs450 million.“The maximum share of the dues has been cleared,” he said.
Sabir Hussain and Ahmed Bukhari, both farmers, said that now the mill administration had openly refused payments.Rahim Yar Khan and Bahawalpur deputy commissioners Socrat Aman Rana and Rana Saleem Afzal, respectively, were not available for comment while Muzaffargarh Deputy Commissioner Saif Anwar Jappa also followed the mill policy, saying as the matter was in court, the district government was unable to take any measure.“The step for the payment of dues to the farmers will be taken as per the government policy which will be devised only after the final verdict of court over the issue,” he said.He said he was not aware about the exact amount of dues as so far it has not been discussed in any official meeting.The court will hear the case on April 10. Can anyone expect an honest verdict from the court system ; can anyone force the Sharif family to implement the court judgement , if not in their favour ; what are the chances that the Deputy Commissioners are not in "Ganja's pockets". Too many unanswered questions![]()
ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Chaudry Nisar Ali Khan ( defacto PM) on Monday ordered immediate suspension of issuance of visas on arrival (landing permits) to foreigners to avoid any ‘irregularities’ in the database.
Addressing a high-level meeting held at the Ministry of Interior, he asked the participants for strict implementation of rules and regulations in the ministry and its attached departments.The interior minister also ordered the Ministry of Interior to revise and update visa rules.
He said introduction of online visa regime to bring in transparency, minimise discretion and expedite the entire process should be ensured.
Indifference to this responsibility in addressing the problems of the people will inviante serious notice and action, he added.Noting that a lot of good work has been done in the issuance of visas and areas of immigration, he said that a lot more still needs to be done to streamline the system and remove various lacunas in it.With the launching of the online visa application and online visa regime, the interior minister said that any anomaly in issuance of visas would be effectively eliminated.( lot of "buzz words )"
For the first time in the history of Pakistan, foreign airlines were fined for violation of visa policy and were asked to take back the passengers without visa to the port of their embarkation at their own cost.It was informed that a fine to the tune of Rs94 million was imposed on various foreign airlines for bringing in passengers without valid Pakistani visas and such airlines were directed to take back hundreds of such passengers. Why this "hard line all of a sudden ? (i) something brewing in the fauji barracks (ii) RAA and See-eye- Aye agents coming in and asking for visa on arrival ?
The interior minister also directed FIA to continue working with Pakistan Telecommunication Authority for removing all those social media pages which could cause religious unrest in the society or glorify terrorism. This "interior minister" is working "too hard " He should take care of his health first. Just very recently he fired the interior secty for issuing visa to a Military delegation from Malaysia - an Ummah ally !![]()
Mushshak is a 1960's era Saab-based design which the pakis bought the rights to build when Saab was about to stop production in the '80s (I think). Pakis now call the plane "Super-Mushshak" because of a few design changes. These cheap, single-engine trainer planes have been dropping out of the paki skies at regular intervals.Falijee wrote:Pak Army aircraft crash-lands near Peshawar

China has already invested USD 50 million in free-trade zone at Gwadar. At least 300 Chinese engineers ( where are they housed and fed ) and subordinate staff have arrived in last six months.
Nawaz-led federal government is beefing up efforts to start production activities in at least four factories by December-2017. Officials told that over 300 Chinese ships had docked at port since 2008 but a lot was needed to be done if Gwadar wanted to emerge as multi-dimensional and multi-purpose port of region.Four factories would start production by December 2017. Among these four conglomerate, one is Pakistani auto-mobile company which has already established strong footholds in Chinese market.

An article that talks about Pakistan's Geopolitics without mentioning Iron Brother is not worth taking seriously, no matter how many truths it may contain.

LAHORE: The PIA in an internal inquiry has found the Acting CEO and Director Procurement and Logistics (P&L), guilty of gross violations of rules and regulations, manipulating facts and figures and connivance in appointing a foreigner as technical consultant to achieve their ulterior objectives in the sale of a aircraft A-310, six engines and four APUs, The News has learnt.
The report found Acting CEO Bernd Hildenbrand, Director Procurement and Logistics Department Air Commodore Imran Akhtar Khan and Technical Consultant Helmut Bachhofner guilty of causing a financial loss of over Rs 500 million to the national carrier.
CheersHildenbrand, currently on Exist Control List (ECL), is on a 15-day leave. Imran has been repatriated back to the PAF through repatriation, while Bachhofner has returned to his country after expiry of contract.
he said.National Security Adviser Nasser Janjua said Friday that the perception that Pakistan is a dangerous country at the "centre of global terrorism" is far from the reality."The world thinks we are interfering in Afghanistan... [that] our economy is damaged... [that] we are playing a double-game regarding the Taliban... [that] Pakistan's nuclear assets are not protected," he said, adding that the true picture of Pakistan was not being presented adequately before the world.In fact, "Pakistan is a beautiful country with countless honeymoon resorts",( where "honeymooners" have the risk of being booked for indulging in UnIslamic practices- as in Dubai !)
Speaking about the appointment of former army chief Gen Raheel Sharif as the head of a Saudi military alliance, Janjua said Sharif is "not going to lead a Sunni alliance".Noting that Saudi Arabia had chosen the countries for the military alliance, Janjua said that Gen Sharif is nonetheless an equal friend of Iran and will not act against its interests.It cannot be said when the Islamic military alliance will start functioning, he said. He was "imposed" as NSA on the civilian govt on Raheel's sifarish , obviously his opinion is biased![]()
The national security adviser said it is "unfortunate" that allegations had been hurled against Pakistan without ascertaining the facts."Did Pakistan form Al Qaeda and Daesh?" he asked, using the Arabic acronym for the militant Islamic State (IS). Is not Pakistan the incubator ie the laboratory of IT , the home of well known terrorists ( KSM, OBL, ) who come to seek refuge there !
He said Pakistan had never played a double-game regarding militants, and said the Pakistanis had been exploited by the Taliban in the name of jihad.

LAHORE: Unidentified man gunned down on Friday an Ahmadi doctor near Moon Market in Lahore. Ashfaq Ahmed, 68, a veterinary doctor, was on his way to an Ahmadi worship place to offer prayers when he was attacked. The attacker flagged down Ahmed to stop his car, shot him at point-blank range, and then fled, said Saleemduin, a spokesperson for Jamat-e-Ahmadiyya.
The community’s spokesperson said the deceased had no personal enmity and the murder was only motivated by his faith. Jamaat-e-Ahmadia in a statement said that Ashfaq’s murder was the second such incident in the last 10 days in Punjab. It said that such incidents prove that the claims made by the government regarding religious freedom were false.
