Pushtun Ghani Doing India's Bidding Per Paki Paper. :D

No to CPEC unless Pakistan provides trade access to India: President Ghani
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has said that his country will not be a part of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) unless it is given access to Pakistan's Wagah and Attari border, DNA India reported on Wednesday.
Addressing a gathering at the Vivekananda International Foundation in New Delhi, Ghani said that Kabul will restrict Pakistan's access to central Asia if it is not given access to India through the CPEC project, according to the DNA article. T. Rex in Dilli. Ghani in Delhi. Modi in Nai Delhi. There must be a saazish being planned against Pakistan :mrgreen:
The comment comes a week after a meeting took place between representatives of Afghanistan, China, Pakistan and the United States in Oman, in which the revival of peace talks with the Taliban was discussed.
"Sanctuaries are provided, logistics are provided, training is provided, ideological base is provided [...] Pakistan has come to a juncture and it needs to make a choice," DNA quoted Ghani as saying. "Our reaction will be determined by its [Pakistan's] choices." Surprising how a few years in power can make a difference in Ghani's attitude towards Pakistan . He started out in his term as a pro Pakistani 400% and spurned India . Now he has done a 360* based on his experience with Paki perfidy !
According to DNA, the Afghan president also welcomed India's new role in Afghanistan as discussed in the new US policy for the region. IMO, India should stick to developmental projects and build up further goodwill with the Afghan awaam !
Ghani visited India just a day after US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's surprise visit to Afghanistan. Saazish against Pakistan. Timing of visit. What more proof is needed !!!

"Green Passport" Not Worth The Paper It Is Printed On :twisted:

-Where does Pakistani passport stand among World countries
SINGAPORE: Singapore has the world's "most powerful" passport, according to a global ranking topped for the first time by an Asian country.
According to the 'Global Passport Power Rank 2017' by global financial advisory firm Arton Capital, Germany is ranked second, followed by Sweden and South Korea in third place.
Paraguay removed visa requirements for Singaporeans, propelling Singapore's passport to the top of Passport Index' most powerful ranking with a visa-free score of 159, the company statement.
Historically, the top 10 most powerful passports in the world were mostly European, with Germany having the lead for the past two years. Since early 2017, the number one position was shared with Singapore, which was steadily going up, it said. "For the first time ever an Asian country has the most powerful passport in the world. It is a testament of Singapore's inclusive diplomatic relations and effective foreign policy," said Philippe May, managing director of Arton Capital's Singapore office.
India, which was listed 78th last year, has improved its ranking, figuring at 75th position with a visa-free score of 51. :D
Coming in at last place on the list is Afghanistan, ranked 94 with a score of 22, followed by Pakistan and Iraq at 93 with a score of 26, Syria at 92, having a score of 29 and Somalia at 91 with a score 34. Somalia meets Pakistan in this ranking ! :lol:
PS: If this is the status of the Paki "Green Passport, one can imagine, what kind of "respect" would the Paki Diplomatic Passport - the Blue One , would command at Immigrant Controls around the world. This "prized" document was liberally abused by the Ganja Govt as a means of "political favour", if past Paki media reports are to be believed !!!

Hafiz Saeed's name not on list of terrorists handed over by US: Pakistan - PTI
Mumbai attack mastermind and banned Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed's name was not on a list of 75 terrorists the US had handed over to Pakistan, Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif said on Wednesday.

Saeed, who carries a $10 million bounty on his head for his role in terror activities, has been under house arrest in Pakistan since January this year.

Asif told senators during a session of the parliament's upper house that the US has "handed over a list of 75 terrorists while we gave them a list of around 100 terrorists."

The list was passed on during the maiden visit of US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to Pakistan on Tuesday.

"The Haqqani network is on the top of the (US) list but none of the terrorists are Pakistanis," Asif told senators.

The US, Asif said, had made a habit of handing over lists of wanted people to Pakistan, which traded them for favours - a matter that needed to be debated.

He said the US had been told that Pakistan no longer had influence over the Afghan Taliban as it did in the past.

"Neither are we supporting them (Afghan Taliban), nor do they need our help," Asif said.

"Somebody else is sponsoring them now," {So, Terroristan admits to its influence over the Taliban in the past ! This is the most open admission of guilt so far by Pakistan} he added, without elaborating on it.

^^^ So much for the visit of US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to India. US it appears continues to speak with perfidious forked tongue on Mohammadden Terrorism being a global problem and winks and nods at the Mohammadden Terrorism Fomenting Islamic Republic of Pakistan’s support of Pakistan based Mohammadden Terror outfits that target India.

It will be interesting to know if other Pakistan based Mohammadden Terrorists sponsored by the Punjabi Military dominated State of the Mohammadden Terrorism Fomenting Islamic Republic of Pakistan that are focussed on targeting India such as Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) and its boss Syed Salahuddin alias Mohammad Yusuf Shah, are on the US list.

US rejects suggestion of sanctions against Pakistan :roll:
WASHINGTON: The US State Department has said that Pakistan’s refusal to acknowledge the existence of terrorist safe havens on its soil would not automatically lead to sanctions against the country. At a Tuesday afternoon news briefing, the department’s spokesperson Heather Nauert also refused to assess the impact of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s visit to Islamabad on US-Pakistan relations.The US media, however, noted that Mr Tillerson was greeted by a mid-level Foreign Office official and US Ambassador David Hale at the military airport in Rawalpindi. This was “a welcome without the pomp that usually accompanies high-level visits”, a US government-funded broadcasting organisation, Radio Liberty, reported. Signs of "trouble in marriage", do not automatically mean "divorce" :mrgreen:
“I don’t want to forecast anything that could come in the future,” said Ms Nauert when asked if Pakistan’s claim that there were no safe havens within its borders could lead to US sanctions against the country. The US has to first to figure out , alternate supply routes to Afghanistan, before taking any kind of drastic actions, IMO. !
“The secretary said that [on Tuesday] and so I’m just going to have to let his words stand for themselves,” she said.
Mr Tillerson’s visit was the first to Pakistan by a senior official of President Donald Trump’s administration...
Before coming to Islamabad, the secretary made an unannounced stop in Afghanistan, where he reiterated Washington’s commitment to the country. Message to Pakistan here .
“I think it was a mistake on the part of our folks, the travelling staff and so — and in addition to that, our embassy,” said Ms Nauert when asked why the State Department tweeted that the secretary was holding meetings in Kabul when he was actually at Bagram. “It was just a simple mistake that happened.”
The US media, however, noted that the Afghan government had on Tuesday issued a doctored photo of Mr Tillerson’s meeting with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, removing all those objects that could link the picture to Bagram.The media claimed that the Afghan government wanted its people to believe the meeting took place in Kabul, and not at a US military base. Venue selected probably because of "security concerns" !
Asked why Secretary Tillerson flew to Afghanistan from the Gulf, then back to Iraq before returning to South Asia to visit Islamabad, Ms Nauert said: “There’s a clear security issue in the region, Afghanistan in particular. We’re all aware of that. So for security reasons, we don’t announce some pieces of travel.”
Pakis are probably "encouraged" by this statement "rejecting" automatic sanctions !

Raheel's Revenge!

Pakistani court issues arrest warrant against former PM Nawaz Sharif

ISLAMABAD: A Pakistani judge has issued an arrest warrant against former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif after he failed to appear in court to face corruption charge.

Judge Mohammad Bashir on Thursday also rejected a request from Sharif's lawyer that he be exempted from court appearances in order to remain in London where his ailing wife is getting medical treatment.

The judge scheduled the next hearing in the case on November 3.

Under Pakistani law, Sharif can be arrested as soon as he returns from abroad unless he is granted bail before the next hearing.

Sharif, who has been indicted in three corruption cases over concealing assets abroad, has skipped several court hearings so far.

The 67-year-old Sharif resigned in July after the Supreme Court disqualified him from office over corruption charges.

Pakistan finalises two consortiums to raise another $2b

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has finalised two consortiums of financial advisors to float dollar-denominated Euro and Sukuk bonds as the country seeks around $2 billion aimed at taking pressure off the balance of payments’ position.

The Eurobond consortium would comprise of four international commercial banks. The Sukuk bond consortium consists of six banks, said officials in the Ministry of Finance. The financial bids were opened on Tuesday.

Citibank, Deutsche Bank, Standard Chartered Bank and Industrial & Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) will be mandated to arrange the Eurobond transaction. The government will pitch a minimum $500-million bond but will try to raise at least $1 billion through the Eurobond, said the officials.

In September 2015, the government had issued Eurobonds valuing $500 million with a 10-year maturity in the international market at an interest rate of 8.25%. It offered 6.12% above the US Treasury rate for the bond, making it one of the most controversial deals.

The Sukuk bond consortium of financial advisors consists of Citibank, Deutsche Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, ICBC, Dubai Islamic Bank and Noor Bank JSPC, said the officials. Again the government will pitch $500 million Sukuk bond but will try to raise over $1 billion, said the officials. The M3 Motorway (Pindi Bhattian-Faisalabad) would be pledged in collateral to raise loans through the Sukuk bond.

In September last year, the government raised $1 billion by floating Sukuk bond at 5.5% interest rate.

The combined size of the two deals could go up to $2 billion or $3 billion, one banking official said on Wednesday.

The finance ministry did not respond to a request to comment.

The officials said that the DIB and ICBC had given the lowest financial bids, quoting 1.5% less fee than offered by three Europe-based banks. The finance secretary asked the three commercial banks to match the fee, if they wanted to become part of the consortium, said the officials.

They said that the Ministry of Finance was not officially announcing the financial advisors consortiums, as it was waiting written concurrence of three European-based banks to match the lowest bids. But their local representatives have already given the verbal concurrence, said the officials.

This time the government was expecting better price due to availability of liquidity in the international markets. In recent months, Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Yemen have raised debts from the international markets and their bids were significantly over subscribed.

But the fluid political situation in Pakistan and the desperation to raise loans to protect the official foreign currency reserves could affect the overall price, said the officials.

Pakistan is rated B by Standard & Poor’s, B3 by Moody’s and B by Fitch. Pakistan’s ratings are stable for the last couple of years that could also help it get a better price.

The finance ministry is targeting November 15 to conclude the transactions. The country’s external sector position has significantly weakened due to the current account deficit that swelled to $3.6 billion in the first quarter – 117% more than the corresponding period of the previous year.

Due to the growing current account deficit, official foreign currency reserves are constantly under pressure and depleted over $2 billion in the past three months alone. The official reserves stood at $14.2 billion as of October 13.

The global bonds and borrowings from the commercial banks has remained the preferred choice of the finance ministry that has raised $10.8 billion by utilising these two modes since 2014.

The Senate Standing Committee on Finance is already investigating the 2015 Eurobond issuance. The Standing Committee has been trying to determine whether the money invested by foreigners in the dollar-denominated bonds had actually flown from Pakistan.

It has twice decided to call the representatives of three international banks, which the government had hired to float $500 million worth of Eurobonds. The government hired Citibank, Deutsche Bank and Standard Chartered Bank for the bond float.

But each time the finance ministry did not let it happen but the issue remains pending till date.

Asif urges US to stop listening to 'failed generals' on Afghanistan
The Express Tribune
ISLAMABAD:
Pakistan said on Wednesday it was ready to help the US in Afghanistan but would not act as the proxy for any country and urged Washington to get input from politicians and experts rather than the generals, who had already failed in the war-torn country. Could not the same be applied to Pakistan, where the Army has monopolized Foreign Policy :mrgreen:
In a policy statement in the Senate, Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif said the US has provided Islamabad a list of 75 wanted persons, which did not include a single Pakistani citizen, while Pakistan has given a list of 100 criminals to the US and Afghanistan. Look at the words, this Paki Minister is using . For Paki criminals, he uses "citizens", while for Afghan citizens he uses "criminals" :mrgreen:
On Tuesday Senate Chairman Raza Rabbani summoned :roll: the foreign minister to take upper house of Parliament into confidence over US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s visit to Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. Rabbani was irked by Tillerson’s remarks in Kabul on Monday in which he asked Pakistan to act on US demands. The "summoning" was good for the ego of Asif !
Asif told the house there was no Pakistani national in the list of 75 wanted persons provided by the US. “No Pakistani national, including Hafiz Saeed, is in this list,” he said, adding that the Haqani network is on the top and some were shadow governors of Taliban. “Many on the list are not alive,” he said. Everything will be clear if he releases the 75 name list. Maybe, some ISI jairnels and kernels are included in that list !
He added Pakistan had also handed a list of 100 people wanted by Islamabad to the US and Afghanistan and it had been conveyed to the President Donald Trump’s administration that any Indian role in Afghanistan would not be acceptable to Pakistan.
Speaking about the talks with Tillerson on Tuesday, the foreign minister said that the US had been negotiating with Taliban but remained inflexible when it came to Haqqani network. Pakistan, he said, had assured the US of taking action “if it provides credible information” against the Haqqani network. Pakistan will never throw the Haqqanis "under the bus". The recent staged "ambush" to free the Canadian/ American couple proves that . The culprits "escaped" !
“We have neither surrendered nor [do we] take any dictation from US. We will not compromise on our national interest. For the first time all institutions of Pakistan have jointly conveyed this to the US in one huddle,” he said, referring to Pakistan’s civil and military leadership’s joint meeting with Tillerson. Much has been made of this so-called "joint meeting", when in fact, it was the US who wanted to sent a message to both civil and military power holders the tough message !
He said former military ruler General (now retired) Pervez Musharraf surrendered before the US demands after the September 11, 2001 attacks in Washington and New York. The former military dictator unabashedly admitted getting money in exchange for handing over people to the US.“Compromises made by military dictators in the past are the reason for the situation Pakistan is mired in today,” he said. “Had Pakistan not volunteered in the so-called Afghan jihad [in the 1980s], Pakistan would not have faced this situation.” He added after the blunder of becoming a proxy in the Afghan jihad, another massive compromise was made following the 9/11 episode.
The minister informed the house that security arrangements for Tillerson’s visit to Pakistan was usual. However, he added, the situation was entirely different during his visit to Afghanistan where even President Ashraf Ghani had to come to Bagram Airfield. “In a country, where forces of 16 nations are deployed for some 18 years, he [Tillerson] did not feel safe to move out of the airbase.” The minister said that following the ‘loud and clear message’ given by Parliament and the National Security Committee after the US President’s August 21 speech, there would be no compromise or surrender.
“We have also proposed to the US government for repatriation of Afghan refugees,” he said, adding that after the repatriation of the refugees and fencing on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, there would be a complete control over the cross-border movement of terrorists.He said there were no accusations in Tillerson’s meeting with Pakistani leadership rather the US side made a request for cooperation. “Pakistan also pointed out that there were some other regional countries whose role was ‘absolutely indispensable’ in the peace efforts.He particularly named Iran, China, and Russia among the influential countries. He said Pakistan wanted to repair its relations with US and bridge the trust deficit. He said Tillerson extended cooperation for reducing tension on Pakistan’s eastern border so that Pakistan could focus fully on its western border. The "summoning" to the Senate, helped Asif in venting his frustration against US and giving a "feel good" state of mind to Paki Senate Members that all is well , before the sht hits the fan !

Pakistani hitman accused of 70 murders finally arrested.
BUDAPEST – A Pakistani man wanted by Interpol for ’70 contract murders’ has been arrested in Hungary while trying to flee Austria, police said on Wednesday.
The police in Bacs-Kiskun county (located in southern Hungary) stated that the 35-year-old Pakistani by the initials AZ was discovered when he along with a group of migrants ( the famous Pakistaniyat :roll: ) was apprehended near Hungary’s southern borders on Tuesday.
“Pakistan has issued an international arrest warrant for murder for (the man) who was then arrested,” added the statement, without disclosing further details.
The Austrian Federal Criminal Bureau stated that the migrants were being smuggled to Austria before being caught at Boly, which is 175 kilometres (109 miles) south of Budapest and near Hungary’s borders with Croatia and Serbia.
Detectives in nearby Austria said that the man, who is allegedly known as the ‘Pakistani butcher’, is a hitman accused of around 70 contract murders in Pakistan. Any connections past or present with the Paki "Deep State" by any chance :mrgreen:

Mahmood Qureshi’s brother slaps devotee for interfering with ritual wash at shrine


Mahmood Qureshi’s brother slaps devotee for interfering with ritual wash at shrine
MULTAN – A spat erupted between PTI leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi and his brother at the shrine of Bahauddin Zakariya on the annual ghusal ceremony in Multan.It is OK. It is all in the family. No harm done. Yet !
Mureed Hussain, who wanted to perform ritual wash before his brother, lost his temper after he was barred from performing it. He also slapped a devotee for not providing the items used for the ritual, as revealed in a video clip of a private news channel. Southern Punjab is "well known" for its "feudal culture" !
Qureshi, custodian of the shrine, was scheduled to reach the shrine at 10am but he could not reach on time. Then, Hussain stepped forward to perform the ghusal but was stopped.In a speech at the ceremony, Mureed Hussain slammed Qureshi for using the shrine for political purposes. Calling his brother a “grave seller,” he said that “you (Qureshi) will be answerable in the court of Allah Almighty.” The brother may be right. He has switched from PPP to PTI !
“We have given you the title of Makhdoom, but you know what people call you, seller of graves,” the spiritual leader said. “Only Allah and I know how you got land. You will be accountable in the court of Almighty for occupying lands of poor people.” Last year, Mehmood Qureshi and his brother had also exchanged heated words during Hazrat Bahauddin Zakariya’s urs ceremony over the same issue.

Pakistan more dangerous than North Korea: Ex-US Senator Larry Pressler

WASHINGTON: Pakistan is more dangerous than North Korea as it does not have a centralised control on its nuclear weapons, making them vulnerable to theft and sale, a former top American Senator warned, describing both the nations as rogue states.

Larry Pressler, who served as chairman of the US Senate's Arms Control Subcommittee, feared that Pakistan's nuclear weapons might be used against the US, warning the possibility of someone buying these nuclear weapons from generals or colonels.

As chairman of Senate Arms Control Subcommittee, Pressler advocated the now-famous Pressler Amendment, enforced in 1990.

Aid and military sales to Pakistan were blocked, including a consignment of F-16 fighter aircraft, changing forever the tenor of the US relationships with Pakistan and India.

"Their weapons could be transported to the US fairly simply. Just as 9/11 was a very simple operation run by 20 or 30 people," he said.

"The Pakistani nuclear bombs are not controlled. They are subject to sale or stealing and they could be easily gotten out of Pakistan to just about anywhere in the world," he said speaking at an event organised by The Hudson Institute, a top American think-tank.

"I consider Pakistan more dangerous than North Korea in the sense that Pakistan don't have a centralised control of their nuclear weapons," Pressler said while discussing his latest book 'Neighbours in Arms: An American Senator's Quest for Disarmament in a Nuclear Subcontinent'.

The former top American Senator, however, said he does not think that Pakistan's nuclear weapons are going to be used against India.

"I think what North Korea needs is just a lot of attention and hand-holding. Pakistan is a different thing because you don't really have one person in charge. I think Pakistan is more dangerous to the US," he reiterated in response to a question.

With Secretary of State Rex Tillerson having just concluded his India trip wherein he sought to elevate India-US relationship, Pressler said the US should declare Pakistan a terrorist state.

"We should declare Pakistan a terrorist state. We should put certain sanctions on Pakistan," he said.

Pressler said in his book he has made recommendations for some reforms to treat India at a higher level.

When a Pakistani embassy official asked Pressler, if it is appropriate to categorise Pakistan and North Korea on the same page, the Senator said "Yes".

"From a nuclear dangerous point of view, I think they are both the rogue states in my opinion. They both do not have the interests of the US in mind. Pakistan has and is harbouring terrorists. And North Korea is a threat to the US," he said.

He said President Donald Trump may be one of the best presidents for India in terms of Indo-US relationship.

Trump, Tillerson and the secretary of defense are advocating closer relationships with India, he said.

"They are coming close to declaring Pakistan a terrorist state or at least in effect. And they are very interested in moving toward more free trade with India of course," the former Senator from South Dakota said.

Moderating the session, former Pakistan's ambassador to the US, Husain Haqqani said American officials have acknowledged that Pakistan has a stable command and control system over its nuclear programme.

Haqqani, however, said "Pakistanis are living in a narrative that is purely Pakistani."

"One should pay attention to what Pressler said that while he started out by being critical of the nuclear programme of everybody it was Pakistan's repeated inability to keep the promises that made him particularly critical," he said.

"I'm a Pakistani too and I would say that there is some merit to that argument where the Pakistanis want to recognise it or not. We have a tendency to over promise and then later on give excuses for why we couldn't keep our promise that's not just in relation to the nuclear issue, we have seen that over Afghanistan in the last two decades," he said.

Contempt petitions against Imran Khan dropped after ECP accepts apology :roll:
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Thursday dropped two contempt petitions against Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan after accepting a written apology for his past statements in which Khan had accused the commission of bias.
All is forgiven and lets start with a clean slate. Who knows, the way things are going in this lala land, Immy the Dimmy could be the next PM. No one would want to pi$$ off the future leader of the benighted land.

Lesson to be learnt from this...do not use witchcraft on the pious.

‘A spellbinding Test series but no magic involved
Sri Lanka’s sports minister on Wedn­esday denied ordering the lowly-ranked national team to use witchcraft to score a surprising two-match Test series win against Pakistan earlier this month.
Dayasiri Jayasekara threatened to sue a local sorcerer for claiming that at his request she cast a spell over Pakistan to ensure Sri Lanka’s victory.
Ganga Zoiza claimed that on the minister’s orders skipper Dinesh Chandimal appro­ached her with a request to cast a spell to ensure a win against Pakistan, which at the time was ranked above Sri Lanka.
There! Bakistan is now an honest victim of natural (BCCI) and super-natural (Lankan) evil influences. Paki kirkit board should double the demand of compensation.

PakSi hits the road.

Encouraging inclusivity
Yeah, right! Irony, thy name is pakhanistan.
After the successful launch of Pink Taxi (an exclusive taxi service for women), PAXI have launched their ‘Bike Taxi’ service, which began last month in Karachi. The service provides affordable rides to middle and lower-income segments, students, and people who do not own a bike or car and rely on public transport to work every day.
Since the pakis believe in breaking down any service according to the sub-demographics, next proposedtaxi service will be targeted at the transgenders - called HiTaxi, and pedophiles - called PiTaxi.
anyone who owns a motorbike can join PAXI as a partner or pilot
Upon joining, they are given a complete pilot kit which includes a pilot uniform...hair net, wet tissues, medical kit and a fire extinguisher. :shock:
PAXI currently has a fleet of over fifty bikes. Out of the 50 pilots hired, five suffer from lower-limb disability.

Just a matter of time before the Pakis come up with Doxy, where an express donkey-cart is just one phone call away.

"Stealth Approach" By "Deep State" :roll:

NA body approves SCO’s proposal for countrywide operation
ISLAMABAD: Taking advantage of the absence of many ruling party members, the National Assembly Standing Committee on Information Technology approved a proposal to allow the military-run Special Communication Organisation (SCO) to operate commercially and compete with the private telecom operators. :evil: Is there any sector of the Paki economy, where the Fauj and its proxies have not encroached in the civilian economy under the "pretext of efficiency" and "reducing corruption" . Even management of "Bakra Eid" Animal Market is not outside their tentacles !

This was in strong contrast to the opposition by the government and the Senate Standing Committee on Information Technology. What Fauj wants, Fauj gets :mrgreen:
“This committee directs the Ministry of IT to facilitate SCO,” said chairperson of the committee, MNA Syed Ali Raza Abidi of the MQM. The committee met for a briefing on the performance of the SCO.
The support for the SCO came after its regulatory affairs director retired Col Ghulam Hussain Anjum :roll: pleaded (pleading in public, but subtle threats in private probably !) the case to allow the organisation to operate as a commercial entity.
For the last two years, the SCO has been demanding autonomy to operate commercially and expand its services across the country and earn revenues. Mr Anjum argued that the SCO was losing market business to competitors in the telecom sector such as Mobilink and Zong. Apart from China and probably North Korea, any other country's Armed Forces , doing this kind of business :roll:
MNA Amjad Khan of the PTI also supported the proposal and said: “SCO has worked in some of the most difficult terrains to spread telecom infrastructure in Gilgit-Baltistan and AJK. It deserves to generate revenues.” PTI is "boot polisher" of Paki fauj !
In the past, the SCO proposed a free licence to operate and compete with other telecommunication operators such as Mobilink, Telenor and Zong throughout the country. It also demanded a tax exemption on its income, assets, turnover and sales and customs duties on imports and exports. Above all, the SCO said it should continue to be funded by the federal government. Unfair competitive advantage using name of "fauj" :twisted:
The SCO was established in 1976 to develop, operate and maintain telecommunications services in AJK and GB. Secretary Ministry of IT Rizwan Bashir told the committee that the SCO proposal to operate as a commercial entity would contradict government’s deregulation policy. It is only a matter of time before the Civilian Body withdraws its objection. What fauj wants, fauj gets :twisted:
The SCO was established in 1976 to develop, operate and maintain telecommunications services in AJK and GB.Secretary Ministry of IT Rizwan Bashir told the committee that the SCO proposal to operate as a commercial entity would contradict government’s deregulation policy.
PS: Why not "transfer this project" "to CPEC Do list" Problem solved :mrgreen:

Elected Karachi Mayor Still Sitting In Jail !

Civil society joins protest for release of Karachi Mayor
Karachi—After waiting for so long, the civil society finally joined the protest demonstration Sunday for the release from jail of Karachi Mayor Waseem Akhtar. The protest, held in Clifton, saw some touching scenes as kids, including those of the mayor, stood motionless, dumb-founded on the continuing detention of a person who was supposed to be in office atleast a month ago to take care of the mounting problems of water, sanitation, hygiene, and development work in a mega city, considered the revenue engine of the country. Mayors in developed and civilized world are treated as city fathers. They normally receive the visiting heads of States and governments, and visiting dignitaries ahead of the host country’s presidents or prime ministers and then introduce the arriving guest to them. This alone proves beyond a doubt that "Paki Democracy" is a farce . Him and Ganja Sharif should form an alliance :mrgreen:
An office holder of such importance is kept in jail, despite being mandated by the electorate is a matter of deep concern for citizens, intellectuals, journalists, and all those upholding the rule of law. They remained silent hoping the establishment to see wisdom, but could not resist coming onto streets with banners and placards to ask for his freedom. Waseem, a former minister, MNA, and now the city father, is facing charges charged involving May 12, 2007 incidents of Karachi. The oft-repeated emphasis that the Karachi or the Sindh administration at that time, was guilty of preventing the then chief justice of Pakistan Chaudhury Iftikhar from entering Karachi, is only the half-truth. He is MQM, therefore he deserves to be in jail !
The story has many dimensions and need to be told in full. Questions like the role of then then President, General Pervez Musharraf, attempts made by Sindh Governor to defuse the situation all are links that need to be connected in a proper chain and then analysed. What happened inside the VIP room of the Karachi airport when the then iG,Police called him and his principal adviser Aitzaz Ahasan. What reply did the police chief received? These are all vital questions and need to be scrutinized in detail. The question which the court has to go into is whether Waseem Akhtar alone was responsible for everything that happened in Karachi that day? Why Waseem is being held responsible for that, police and interrogaters must know better. But even if he is charged with something, he can be released on bail for the simple reason that he has to take control of Karachi, a city of 20 million, beset with numerous problems, each more serious than the other. Deep State does not care about these things. Karachi has always been treated as a step-child !
In any case Waseem’s job is not only tedious, it is becoming ever more challenging in the context of the war of words that has now started between the MQM Pakistan, and Altaf Hussain’s organization of MQM, London. The Deep State has been "trying" to break MQM's hold on the city, but has not succeeded yet !

Now you can hire a ride for drive by shooting (popular sport in Bakistan using motorbikes). Uniform makes it hard to identify the actual person, hair net ensures no evidence is left behind, wet tissues to clean off the finger prints and the fire extinguisher to hose down the scene! Leave it to Baki ingenuity in IT.

From the mind of an inbred idiot...another sialkoti-kashmiri!

Tillerson-Ghani meeting speaks volumes of American failures in Afghanistan: Asif
The meeting between United States Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani at the Bagram airbase tells a story of American failures, Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif informed the National Assembly Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs on Thursday.
Hmmm.. let me state the obvious. This is coming from the mid-level leader of a screwed up nation whose political leadership is either exiled in Dubai or Londonistan or absconding, or has future "jail time" written on its collective faces for womanizing, cheating the financial institutions or scamming the general population, or has a long "exit control list" to prevent semi-sane people from leaving. By the by, the good minister holds dual nationality. Talk about burning one's bridges.

Irony, thy name is pakhanistani.

Pakistan Mocks US Military Mission in Afghanistan
VOA
ISLAMABAD — America's security "failures" in Afghanistan are evident from events of the week when visiting Secretary of State Rex Tillerson could not move out of a U.S. military base and invited Afghan leaders to his "bunker" for talks, neighboring Pakistan said Thursday.
"This situation tells the whole story of U.S. failures, despite fighting in the country for 16 years," Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif said. He was briefing a parliamentary committee on foreign affairs in Islamabad. Asif is well known in Pakiland for his "loud mouth" and "straight shooting". He however needs to understand that "Diplomacy 101" recommends that words need to be uttered "carefully" and you do not need to stoop to gutter language !
Pakistan is seeking "transparent" relations on "equal terms" with the United States and is ready to offer its "full cooperation" in fighting terrorism, but "without compromising its sovereignty" and scapegoating Islamabad would not be acceptable, the minister said. Is he negotiating with US via Paki media :roll:
Tillerson visited Afghanistan on Monday for two hours. He held talks with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and top leaders of his unity government at the U.S.-run Bagram military base, about 60 kilometers north of the capital, Kabul. Officials cited security concerns for arranging the meeting at the base.
Pakistan is accused of sheltering and maintaining secret ties to the Taliban and the Haqqani network. Both militant groups are waging a deadly insurgency in Afghanistan. Asif said Pakistan's influence on the Afghan Taliban has lately diminished because it has moved its bases to the Afghan side of the border. Lies !
He said Pakistan told the U.S. delegation if Washington provides actionable intelligence, Islamabad will take action against any militant group on its soil, and again denied his country is harboring safe havens. Lies!
"We told them [the U.S. delegation] there are influential players in the region, which might not have good relations with America but have a stake in the Afghan dispute," Asif said. He was apparently referring to Russia and Iran. Both have acknowledged publicly they maintain ties with the Taliban. The role of those countries has become indispensable as far as solving the Afghan conflict, he added. The US needs to squeeze Pakistan economically if it wants to retain some leverage with them :twisted:

Pakistan claimed that it defeated the Soviet superpower in Afghanistan. Now, it is claiming that it has defeated the remaining sole superpower too. That's what it is claiming that it defeated both superpowers.

A delusional enemy is the easiest one to fight -- I am glad the pakis are convinced about their own invincibility. Their 3.5 friends have been reduced to 1 at this point. India could not have achieved this without Paki assistance.

I came across this interesting data set on drone strikes in terror-land from 2004 to 2016 by Uncle Sam. Here is the data set https://www.kaggle.com/zusmani/pakistan ... tacks/data

If some senior members can help setting up some context, I can munge this data and maybe explore some insights

Gunnvant, I thought one interesting thing would be to know which groups have been targetted the most, for example AQ, TTP, Taliban, Haqqanis etc. and the regions where the drones had been most active.

China Turning Pakistan Port Into Regional Giant :roll:
VOA

The usual positive spin about the gamechanger CPEC, this time by a Paki based VOA Correspondent, Ayaz Gul . The new buzz term these days is "39 early harvest projects under CPEC" :roll: ( what if the "rains" do not arrive to "reap" the harvest :twisted: ) . Then there is the usual mention about Gwadar's lack of water, the so-called low level insurgency, the interest free loans and the so-called grants and the grandiose plans about a six lanes international standard highway linking Gwadar to Afghanistan and Iran, a brand new international airport, a 300 bed hospital , a water desalination plant, a new power plant etc etc . Nothing about Chini Naval Base, Chini Radar Base, Chini Troops and other massive influx of Chini material and Chini manpower . The usual "spinmasters" in this propaganda spiel are Senator Mushahid Hussein,( Georgetown University alumni and a politico well known for ingratiating himself with every post Zia regime) and Chini Embassy Spokesman,( and long time "poster boy" for CPEC) - previously Mohammed Zhao Lijian , but now has "dropped" the "Mohammed" moniker :mrgreen:

The News reporter Ahmed Noorani was intercepted and attacked by unidentified assailants in Islamabad's Zero Point area on Friday morning, police said.The attackers assaulted Noorani and his driver with knives near Urdu University. Both the injured were taken to Poly Clinic for treatment, police said, and are said to be in a stable condition despite sustaining wounds to the head.Noorani has been covering the Sharif family's legal troubles extensively since the Panama Papers verdict. He had also covered the Supreme Court's proceedings on the Panama Papers case.The News Editor Investigations Ansar Abbasi tweeted that Noorani had been "severely beaten" by six attackers and sustained "multiple head injuries." "He is conscious," he added.
The attacks come as separatist militant groups have launched a campaign against media houses for not publishing their statements in newspapers.
The Council of Pakistan Newspaper Editors has declared the situation regarding press freedom in Balochistan as extremely bad and contrary to democratic standards.
