Saudis Successfully Woe Imran Khan ! Iranis Lose !

Foreign policy: A new direction?
Ayesha Siddiqa
TNS
Sept 30, 2018

Prime Minister Imran Khan has kept the state tradition alive by visiting Saudi Arabia for his first official trip abroad. It reminded me of Liaquat Ali Khan, who brushed aside an invitation from Soviet Union over a visit to Washington DC, even though the US was not the first to invite him.Those were early days of Pakistan. Back then, it was struggling to develop a strategic-dependency linkage with the US. More than six and a half decades on, the newly-elected PM Khan is following the same policy.

So, in this new "interpretation ", Saudia becomes USA. And Iran becomes Russia !

The Saudi royals honoured their guest generously that included a visit inside the Kaaba, a gesture that is bound to increase Khan’s currency among his Muslim followers at home. This treatment indicates the Saudis would not allow absence of personal ties with Khan to cloud the relations between the two countries.

USA "invited" Pakiland to join CENTO and SEATO . Saudis "invite Immy to see the Kaaba in a private setting. Immy is impressed (massage the ego !)

It seems the Saudis do not want a repeat of 2008 when they were extremely uncomfortable with Asif Ali Zardari, and labelled him the greatest obstacle to the country’s progress. The US embassy cable published by WikiLeaks revealed that Adel al- Jubeir, Saudi Ambassador to the US, had said, “We in Saudi Arabia are not observers in Pakistan, we are participants”.

Zardari is Shia . Immy is Sunni ( Sufi version !)

At this juncture, when Iran is plagued by economic problems, Khan is likely to be more easily drawn to Saudi Arabia. Also, Pakistan is in desperate need of ‘financial injection’ from Saudi Arabia to save it from going to the IMF. Besides, Pakistan has always looked up to Saudi Arabia, for religious identity and cash flow problems.

The Saudis use dollar diplomacy like Eid gifts

Soon after Khan’s Saudi visit, fake news started circulating that the Saudis had commited USD10 billion to Pakistan. Finance Minister Asad Umer, however, denied it later.

Pledges of USD 10 billion are one thing . Collecting the pledge given, is an entire different thing . ( The usual excuse is "chq is in the mail"

)

Over decades, Pakistan’s financial needs have led to entrenchment of Saudi stakes in the country. And this time it doesn’t look any different. Currently, in Pakistan, the state of both non-development and development sector are worrying. The security establishment alone lost approximately USD900 million in the US aid, a shortfall that the government would like to fill through financial gifts from Saudi Arabia like it had back in 2013. Therefore, the new government clearly seems willing to create strategic space for Saudi Arabia, by offering it a partnership in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.

For years , the Pakis have been "drinking" at the expense of the Amreeki Taxpayer . No more now ! So, a new sugar daddy to replace Massa is urgently needed . !

While the previous government had resisted Saudi pressure to overtly commit troops in the Yemen war, the new government may concede space to Saudi Arabia by allowing it to invest in Gwadar. Even before the visit, there was news of Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi investing in real estate in Pakistan’s southern province.

The Saudis themselves are cash strapped (although due to "face", they may not admit this !) So, where is the money coming from ?

One may question Saudi interest in the Pakistani port of Gwadar — to pursue Mohammd bin Salman’s infamous Vision 2030 that aims at reducing dependency on oil — as this would require a generational change in his country to gather productive manpower. His vision looks more geo-strategic. The Saudi investment would augment Gwadar’s value regarding the Iranian port of Chahbahar. This is where Pakistani and Saudi states see eye-to-eye.

The Iranis are not going to like this U Turn made by The Khan

Gwadar’s development has additional benefits for Saudi Arabia, as it may give it access to Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea and also help link up with its interests in Central Asia. Saudi Arabia has stakes in Tajikistan and other Central Asian Republics as well.

Saudi Arabia has "stakes" all over the world . And they are also taken for a ride by everyone , because of their lack of due diligence, lack of work ethic , obsessed with "saving face", decisions based on unrealistic assumptions etc etc

While Pakistan’s new leader has voiced his intent to play a role of a mediator in the Middle East, in reality such claims are rather ambitious. Despite the fact that Saudi Arabia is willing to give Pakistan space to cater for its own security, considering the large number of Shias in the country, the CPEC partnership will increasingly impose limits on Pakistan’s neutrality.

Forget mediation. ! Forget "honest brokering" !

The Saudi and UAE investment in Balochistan may result in their greater influence in rest of the country. Already, there are reports of Saudi links with insurgent groups in Balochistan just like it has ties with Taliban in Afghanistan independent of Pakistan.Pakistan’s southern province is infested with both religious and nationalist militant groups that may benefit from Saudi interests. Also, there are religious groups and individuals in other parts of Pakistan that not only get Saudi financial assistance but also represent Kingdom’s larger political interests inside the country.Thus, even if Pakistan remains unwilling to fight a war in Yemen, it may end up creating bigger stakes for Saudi Arabia inside Pakistan. Besides the traditional Arab versus Persia rivalry that flows in the veins of the Middle East, the current Saudi partnership with the US and their combined aims of restructuring Middle East’s geo-politics have a lot to do with how it wishes to position itself in South Asia.

Not sure whether India should take "advantage' by wooing the Iranis . Because, when it comes to the final crunch, the Ummah factor will prevail, to the disadvantage of India !

Although the Pak-Saudi relationship holds its own set of risks for the master-planner of CPEC, China will not be averse to Pakistan opening more doors for it in the Middle East. The Saudi inclusion in CPEC will not have an impact on China’s relations with Iran. The more the energy resources, the merrier China would be. But there is no doubt that both Pakistan and Saudi Arabia will have to walk on eggshells to keep the internal balance and peace.In the longer-term, Pakistan will secure what it has hoped for since the early 1950s – a key role in the Arabian Peninsula as a mark of Pakistan’s identity as an Islamic state in South Asia.The Saudi visit will surely leave a mark on how the government’s Middle East policy will pan out in future.

Not still sure if the Chinis are "comfortable" by this initiative of the Pakis to "invite" the Saudis into the so called gamechanger (CPEC )

How Bollywood Targets The Hindus

Peregrine wrote:Fearing debt trap, Pakistan rethinks Chinese 'Silk Road' projects – Reuters

SSridhar wrote:Peregrine ji, but, then, the deep question to ask is why did Pakistan choose to go for CPEC in the first place?

Why did ( does ) the PA support the CPEC to the hilt? Why was DAWN targetted by the PA when the evil designs of China, under the guise of CPEC, were leaked?

Why did almost all political parties, politicians and even chiefs of jihadi tanzeems support CPEC?

The answer is simple and time-unwavering. It is to use CPEC as just another tool to attack and destroy India. It is an asininely wishful thinking, looking at it neutrally from across the border here, but a desperate Pakistan has been clutching at straws in the typhoon to somehow wipeout the mortal enemy of Hindustan. For a frantic Pakistan used only to straws, CPEC appeared as a small twig and was over-excited.

Soon, Imran would also beat a hasty retreat and fall into the rut because the rut is so deep to climb out and is the only path for a self-destructing Pakistan. Pakistan has to plod along the rut which empties into an abyss at the end.

China is keeping Pakistan under its sranglehold because neither has any friends left. Both have common enemies too. The have collaborated since 1963. Both are indebted to each other for various commissions and omissions.

The CPEC is the flagship BRI project for PRC and it cannot allow it to fail just as the argument used to be put forward every time, that a nuclear Pakistan couldn't be allowed to fail.

If Imran doesn't fall in line, he shall be removed. After all, he doesn't have a simple majority on his own in the National Assembly. He is enjoying Prime Ministership at the pleasure of PA, just like any other PM in Pakistan but only made worse for him by the indecisive poll results.

SSridhar Ji :

Many thanks your above comments.

I, for one, have a rather simple explanation :

1. Terroristan has decided that only China will help it to stand against India.

2. The Chinese want to control India by connecting CPEC-OBOR via Terroristan to the so-called India-Bangladesh-Myanmar-China Highway (I would avoid Bangladesh like the Plague and have the India – Myanmar – China Highway System)

3. China is desperate for India to join the CPEC-OBOR System via Terroristan. Along with the India-Bangladesh-Myanmar-China Highway China will completely encircle India. The Pakistan and Bangladeshi Trucks will be able to “Hide” their Terrorists in these Trucks and Infiltrate India in the service of their Terroristani and Chinese Masters.

4. I hope that India does not join the CPEC-OBOR system and neither have anything to do with Terroristan or the I – B – M - C Highway System but only the I - M - C Highway. I also hope that India GETS OUT of the Turkmenistan – Afghanistan – Pakistan – India Natural Gas Pipeline as it reminds me of the following Article : The Pipelines Perplexity

5. In ending with the Countries taking part in the CPEC-OBOR System are waking up to the Implications suffered by Sri Lanka –TAJIKISTAN - Venezuela – Zambia

Mush Missing Pakhanistan. Or Mush Faking Illness Again !

Musharraf 'growing weaker rapidly' from unspecified illness: Dr Amjad
Dawn
Sept 30, 2018

Former president retired Gen Pervez Musharraf is "growing weaker rapidly" due to an unspecified illness and so cannot return to Pakistan to face the treason case against him just yet, according to All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) leader Dr Muhammad Amjad.
Suspect source ! Is he medical doctor or a "Doctor Of Islamic Philosophy" from Axact University

On March 31, 2014, the former dictator was indicted for suspending the Constitution on Nov 3, 2007. He, however, left the country in March 2016, for Dubai to "seek medical treatment" and hasn't returned since.

He looked fit and trim at the cricket match . Smoking a cigar for showbaazi

Musharraf has since been declared a proclaimed offender, with a special court now considering ways to extradite him.Dr Amjad, a former chairman of the political party Musharraf had formed, linked the former president's absence with a new ailment, which he said requires him to go to London for treatment every quarter.

Plus R&R on the side. Plus keeping an eye on the Edgeware Road flat in London. !

"Pervez Musharraf had a fracture in his spine, for which he got treated in the USA," Dr Amjad told the media in a presser following a meeting of the APML central executive committee (CEC). "But nowadays he is being treated for a separate ailment. For this, he has to go to London after every three months."We cannot tell the nation about the ailment right now but we will tell the court about it and also present the ailment's documentation to the chief justice. Musharraf is growing weaker rapidly so we cannot put his life at risk."

Even if the illness is not fake , Mush and "Dr" Amjad should know that if you cry "wolf" too often, no one is going to believe you

Dr Amjad, who resigned as the APML chair last month, said that his client would return to Pakistan but on the guarantees that he would be given a free trial and also allowed to leave the country for treatment.He said that the party tried to bring Musharraf back to the country before the July 25 general elections but "hurdles were created in his way".Dr Amjad reiterated that Musharraf wants to appear before the court and is in consultation with his legal team to decide when and how to return.

He may be put in "house arrest" at his farmhouse in Isoo, which will be declared as "sub jail" . So, homecooked meals plus distance from the unwashed Abduls of Adiala jail . The fauj will step in and make sure that he is not treated like a common criminal

"Oxford Graduate" Imran Khan's Math Skills Needs A Lot To Be Desired

Indian media questions PM Imran’s maths over ‘unrealistic’ dams campaign
Sept 30, 2018

Ever since Prime Minister Imran Khan endorsed the Diamer-Bhasha and Mohmand dams fund setup by Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar and appealed to the nation for donations, resident and overseas Pakistanis have responded overwhelmingly to the national cause, raising the amount to nearly Rs4.2 billion.

HEADCOUNT PROBLEM:
PM Imran is banking on the country’s population of 200 million and its expat population of 7.6 million; though 24.3% of its domestic population lives below the poverty line of $1.25 a day.

MULTIPLICATION PROBLEM:
PM Imran wants each of his expat Pakistanis to contribute $1,000 each, which would raise just $7.6 billion, or just a little more than half the amount needed. Which means that the balance amount of $6.4 billion is to be raised from 15.17 crore people, who will need to contribute $42 each, while their per capita income is $1,641.

TRICKLE OF MONEY:

The premier is banking on the expat remittances, which in the previous fiscal year, were $20 billion, apart from the $8 million donated by the army and $9,740 donated by the national football team. Not to mention the Pakistani Rs2.3 million that the government earned after auctioning 8 buffaloes of the Prime Minister House.If successful, the campaign would be the largest crowdfunding effort in history while breaking the current Kickstarter record 700 times over, the report states further.

Usually the cost of Dams increase exponentially from the initial estimate to the time the Dam is completed . Have the Pakis taken that into consideration

Dengue Scare In Isloo

Dengue’s rise alarms authorities
PT
Sept 30, 2018

RAWALPINDI: In an alarming development, dengue fever cases have registered a sharp rise in the city as 59 people including women and children results were tested positive.

Aam Abduls or RAPE class

After continuously increasing in the number of dengue patients, Additional Deputy Commissioner Saima Younas directed the officials to expedite surveillance activities or tracing larva and its eradication besides focusing on hotspots from where dengue cases were being reported equally giving attention towards the places from where larva has been detected.

For starters, the garbage dump near the German Embassy should be cleaned up ASAP . Herr Kobbler, the German Amb may help Islamabad authorities in this matter

She directed the officials to make maximum arrangements for the treatment of dengue fever patients, besides all possible preventive measures to meet any eventuality. She directed to create awareness among the residents of the use of mosquito net or mosquito repellants like mats and coils.

Anti-Dengue Campaign in-charge Dr Zeeshan Ahmed said that fogging and surveillance has been lengthened in these areas while anti-dengue spray was also being carried out at bus terminals. He said that dengue was under control in Rawalpindi and the Health Department was on high alert to cope with any situation. Pindi authorities should ensure that specially the Aabpara area ( where the Premiere Institution is located !) gets first preference

He called upon the residents to keep an eye on junkyards, educational institutions and under-construction buildings which lead to spread of dengue larvae. He also requested the residents that leave no place wet or with stagnant water.

The Aam Abduls are more concerned with their daily survival than deal with these matters !

“Making love not war” with India - Shaukat Qadir

Indian attitude towards Pakistan has varied only in the intensity of its animosity. The current Modi era seems to be its zenith in animosity so far

If an individual or even a family lives in an unfriendly neighbourhood, it is possible to change the neighbourhood. If the accommodation is rented; just find another and shift. If the accommodation belongs to the occupant, he or she might suffer an economic loss but the shift is still doable.

Not so with a nation-state. Whether born in an unfriendly neighbourhood or whether neighbours have become unfriendly, a country is destined to live where it is. This is why the formulation of national policies begins with the neighbourhood.

Pakistan was created linear north to south; which gave us extended flanks east and west. Our entire eastern flank is shared with India and the western one with Afghanistan and Iran. To the south lies the sea and the north provides a corridor to China. Pakistan is blessed — or cursed — with a strategic location. It lies at the junction of South Asia, Central Asia, the Middle East, and China.

However, to access each region it is dependent on the neighbour. For South Asia on India, for Middle East on Iran, and for Central Asia on Afghanistan. If, for some reason, Afghanistan is unavailable, the least illogical route from Central Asia via China, our sole current friendly neighbour, to Pakistan is still open.

Since our inception, India has been an unfriendly neighbour. With the noteworthy exception of Mr. Vajpayee’s courageous attempt to make peace with Pakistan, which was thwarted by the events of Kargil, Indian attitude towards Pakistan has varied only in the intensity of its animosity. The current Modi era seems to be its zenith in animosity so far.

Afghanistan could and should have been friendlier but, due to strategic errors on both sides of our border and, our ill-conceived Afghan refugee policy, it isn’t. Iran was, in fact, a true friend, from the day Pakistan took birth. We squandered the good will we had there.

It is in this regional environment that Imran has assumed the reigns of governance and, like others before him, reached out a hand of friendship to India, as well as other neighbours. We need to “make love not war”, with all our neighbours. Consistent with its past record, India rebuffed it. The trillion dollar question is: Isn’t this enough, at least as long as Modi and his ilk reign supreme in India? I definitely think so. Modi’s India has demonstrated its obduracy sufficiently.

Pakistan under Imran too, has stated its position. We seek peace and friendship with all our neighbours. But, if one of them consistently rebuffs our friendship, so be it. There is absolutely no need to belittle ourselves by continuing to reiterate it. Let us also accept that we have to survive with one hostile, larger and more powerful neighbour on our eastern flank and make policies accordingly.

There may be options of trade with India that can still be explored. If there are any feasible ones, by all means, explore and initiate them; but on goods and terms that we find worthwhile. Pharmaceutics are one. There may be others. Even if the balance of trade is in India’s favor, so long as it benefits our populace, without embarrassing us, why not? After all, the Sino-Indian trade has multiplied manifold, but is still 70-30 in favour of China.

If India wishes to continue trading with Afghanistan via Chahbahar, it’s welcome. But if it wants an East-West land corridor through Pakistan, it will be on our terms for goods that we inspect and permit passage to. If India doesn’t wish to play cricket with us, so be it. After the recent miserable display by our team, perhaps its best for our morale? If the Indian army chief wants to thump his chest like the village bully, let him do so.

Let us redouble our efforts to win over other neighbours, and even their neighbours. Afghanistan is the weakest of all our neighbours, militarily and economically. For that reason alone, we must assume responsibility for assisting it, in every way possible and even to the extent of taking some security risks. Our policy towards Afghanistan must be people friendly. Governments come and go. And, in Afghanistan’s case, the effective governance of all governments since 2001, has been confined to Kabul and its immediate surroundings. We must re-win the people of Afghanistan. How? Is another subject.

On Iran, we have come a long way, but there is far longer to go. We have a lot to make up for.

But, most of all, let us put our own house in order. Every single aspect of life in Pakistan needs desperate reformation. And, what has begun, does not appear well begun. The new economic policy has not even made a token effort to expand the tax base. The same number of tax payers will pay increased taxes. Indirect taxes have been raised. To survive in a constantly hostile environment, we need more imaginative and enterprising policies.

Old drudgery will not bring about a Naya Pakistan.

Cheers

PM Modi warns Pakistan of ‘befitting’ reply to ceasefire violations

NEW DELHI: In what will be read as a signal to the new government of Imran Khan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday warned that the Indian Army will respond firmly to any ceasefire violation by and other provocative actions intended to disturb peace and spark violence.

“It has been decided that our soldiers will give a befitting reply to whosoever makes an attempt to destroy the atmosphere of peace and progress in our nation. We believe in peace, we are committed to taking it forward... but not at the cost of compromising our self-respect and sovereignty of our nation,” Modi said in his monthly radio programme ‘Mann ki Baat’.

The PM’s remarks on the officially promoted second anniversary of surgical strikes on terror launch pads in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and in the backdrop of India’s decision to cancel a meeting between Indian and Pakistani foreign ministers can indicate recourse to a tougher or more proactive response to violence along the LoC. The Modi government has followed a policy of heavy retaliatory firing on the LoC and the IB in J&K.

The comments also need to be seen in the context of the new government under Imran Khan taking charge in Pakistan and the Indian assessment that this has been accompanied by an uptick in violence in J&K where state police personnel have been kidnapped and murdered amid strong indications that terror organisations and separatists are working to scuttle panchayat elections. Modi’s comments can be read as a signal to the Pakistani government not to misread the likely response to cross-LoC violence.

The PM dedicated a large part of his radio address to the armed forces and said, “Yesterday, 125 crore Indians celebrated ‘Parakram Parva’, the festival of valour. We remembered the surgical strikes carried out in 2016, where our soldiers gave a befitting reply to the audacity of a proxy war under the garb of terrorism.”

In recent comments, Army chief General Bipin Rawat had said Pakistan’s actions needed to be met with strong deterrence. “We need to take stern action to avenge the barbarism that terrorists and Pakistan army have been carrying out against our soldiers. Yes, it is time to give it back in the same coin, not resorting to similar kind of barbarism. But I think the other side must also feel the same pain,” General had said.

Foreign minister Sushma Swaraj's intervention at the UN General Assembly on Saturday, as has been the case in the last few years, was a denouncement of Pakistan’s role in promoting terrorism. A junior diplomat followed this up by pointing to dozens of banned organisations and sanctioned terrorists being active in Pakistan.

The PM underlined that India was committed to peace and its record going back to the role of Indian soldiers in the two World Wars was evidence of its non-aggressive intent. “We have never eyed someone else’s territory maliciously. This in itself is our commitment and dedication towards peace,” Modi said.

He said the nation had recently remembered the centenary of the battle of Haifa in Israel and paid tributes to our brave soldiers of Mysuru, Hyderabad and Jodhpur Lancers. India is one of the largest contributors to various United Nations peacekeeping missions.

The tough talk also comes as the election campaign for important state elections is heating up and BJP has targeted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for being “in sync” with Pakistani leaders and criticised him over his meeting with the Chinese ambassador when the military standoff in Doklam was in progress. With Congress responding to the charges by arguing that the government had failed to maintain peace in J&K and that the situation had deteriorated, the issue is likely to figure in the campaign.

The PM also spoke of the Indian Air Force's traditions, saying it had bestowed upon citizens a sense of security. "We celebrate Air Force Day on October 8. Making a humble beginning in 1932 with six pilots and 19 airmen, our air force has emerged as one of mightiest and the bravest," he said.

The PM recalled the air force’s role in all conflicts that India has been involved and noted that its doors were open to women, even in permanent commissions. “Be it the relief and rescue work or disaster management, our country is indebted to our air force for the commendable efforts of our air warrior. The air force has set an example in ensuring gender equality and has opened its doors for our daughters,” the PM

Saudis To Take Stake In Baluchi Gold Mine !

Govt to offer Riyadh stakes in Reko Diq, power plants
The Express Tribune
Sept 30, 2018

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan is likely to offer Riyadh stakes in Reko Diq mines and LNG-fired power plants in return for oil on deferred payment and cash assistance, setting the pitch for a new strategic partnership with Saudi Arabia.

According to sources in the commerce ministry, Pakistan is open to Saudi Arabian investment in Reko Diq gold and copper mines, and a memorandum of understanding (MoU) could be signed during the five-day visit of a Saudi delegation to Islamabad, starting today (Sunday).

The Reko Diq gold and copper mines ( belonging to the Baluchi people ) , not yet developed has also been the subject of international litigation as well ! Reko Diq gold mine project: Pakistan may face $11.5-billion penalty

Saudi Arabia has also offered to set up a multi-billion-dollar oil refinery in Gwadar besides acquiring stakes in LNG-fired power plants in Punjab, according to an official of the commerce ministry.

When it happens it happens. Right now, it can be filed as an "empty promise"

There was a flurry of activity in the federal capital after a visit by Ahmad Agil Al-Khateeb, the Advisor to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, on Thursday. Al-Khateeb visited just days after Prime Minister Imran Khan paid a visit to the monarchy.Pakistan also offered Saudi Arabia to join China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects, but there was yet no official world either from Saudi Arabia or China.

As said before, the Pakis took this initiative to relieve financial stress . Whether the Chinis will "welcome" the Saudis remains to be seen !

The sources said that Pakistan would mainly focus on finalising modalities of securing oil on deferred payment to avert a balance of payments crisis.Pakistan’s oil import bill is likely to surge by $4 billion to nearly $18.5 billion this year on the back of the increase in crude oil prices.

Due to the desperate liquidity situation , the Pakis are ready to sell off family jewels like the Reko Diq mine and the Islam Bum !

The country, said the sources, urgently required oil worth more than $2 billion oil on deferred payment in addition to cash support from the kingdom to immediately avoid going to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for assistance.
Was not aware that the situation was THAT bad .
Alongside, Pakistan is also engaged with the IMF as the country needs at least $11 billion to meet its international obligations of debt repayments and imports during the current fiscal year (2018-19). Short-term debt worth $5.6 billion will soon mature and economic mangers are planning to request China for a rollover of loans worth at least $2.8 billion this fiscal.
Do not forget that Qureshi in NYC was begging for "education dallaars" from the UN as well. This is on the national level . On an individual level , a Paki civil servant was caught pick pocketing the wallet of a Kuwaiti Diplomat at Isloo Airport
Advisor to Saudi Ministry of Energy, Industry and Mineral Resources Ahmad Hamed Al-Ghamdi is, meanwhile, heading the Saudi delegation that is arriving in Pakistan today. Zarea Qaranbaish, the Director of Strategic Partnerships and Business Development of the Saudi Center for International Strategic Partnerships, and representatives of Saudi Aramco, the kingdom’s oil company, are also part of the delegation.
The Saudis are responding to the urgent Paki appeal for (financial ) help . Hope they "improve" their work ethic as well !
The Saudi delegation, according to the sources, will visit Gwadar. In case of an agreement between the two sides, Saudi Arabia might set up an oil refinery in Gwadar with a refining capacity of up to 100,000 barrels per day (bpd).
When it happens it happens! Right now it is just a pledge. The Saudis themselves are of course not capable of "setting" up anything !
Earlier, the United Arab Emirates had abandoned a similar project costing $5 billon.The sources said that the most major development in the wake of the Saudi delegation’s visit could be an agreement on Saudi Arabian investment in Reko Diq gold and copper mines.
If I recall correctly, all the major airports , government buildings, power plants etc etc are all mortgaged to the hilt by the GOP to domestic and foreign creditors ( Bond issues in the past !) and the chickens are now coming home to roost . Default is facing the Pakis !

The commerce ministry sources said that Saudi Arabia was also keen to invest in Haveli Bahadur Shah Power Plant. The delegation also plans to visit the project site.The previous PML-N government also wanted to privatise two LNG power projects – Haveli Bahadur Shah and another one located near Balloki, owned by the National Power Parks Management Company Limited. But it dropped the idea because of the cumbersome process that also required approval of the Council of Common Interests (CCI). The mode of Saudi investment in the power sector is still not clear.

The sale of the government assets is considered as divestment, requiring many steps, including due diligence, selection of financial advisers, evaluators, calling bids and short-listing of prospective bidders.The divestment is the subject of the Privatisation Commission.A third LNG power plant, owned by the Quaid-i-Azam Thermal Power Private Limited, a Punjab government company, could also be offered to Saudi Arabia for investment, said the sources.

Pakis selling "everything" ASAP to avoid default

Female Police Constable RAPED In Isloo

Female Pakistani police official allegedly "raped"

Sept 30, 2018

ISLAMABAD - A lady police official of the Islamabad Police has allegedly been raped in Islamabad by an unknown suspect on Saturday night.
According to Senior Superintendent Police (SSP) Amin Bukhari, the constable was on her way home after duty when an unidentified assailant intercepted her on the highway. The suspect put a cloth on her mouth that knocked her unconscious and raped her before escaping in the dark, he added.

SSP Bukhari also said the constable’s weapon was found from the site. The police have registered a rape case against the anonymous suspect and shifted the victim to the hospital.

Initial findings suggest that only one man was involved in the alleged rape .

So, it was not a gang rape which is usually the norm in most situations !

So this is what Rajnath Singh was alluding to when he said that something has already happened at the border to avenge.

BSF avenges jawan’s mutilation

BSF avenges jawan’s mutilation

Monday, 01 October 2018 | Rakesh K Singh

14 Pak Rangers killed, 6 bunkers across border destroyed

Days after Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh’s assertion that “something big has happened” in retaliation to BSF jawan Narender Singh’s brutal killing by Pakistani forces, it has now emerged that the BSF killed 14 men of Pakistan Rangers and destroyed six bunkers on the intervening night of September 25 and 26 along the Line of Control in Jammu & Kashmir.

As a tit for tat for tying the feet of Singh and slitting his throat, the BSF also inflicted befitting injuries on at least two personnel of the Pakistan Rangers, top sources said.

The BSF jawan was killed on September 18 by the Pakistan Rangers while clearing elephant grass on the international boundary along with a team.

“Hamare BSF ka ek jawan, abhi uske saath jis tarike se badsalooki ki hai Pakistan ne, shayad aapne dekha hoga. Kuch hua hai, main bataoonga nahi. Hua hai, theek thaak hua hai, vishwaas rakhna bahut theek thaak hua hai, 2-3 din pehle. Aur aage bhi dekhiega kya hoga” (Something has happened, I can’t tell you what. It happened, something substantial. Trust me something big has happened 2-3 days back, now wait and watch what happens in the future), the Home Minister had said on Friday while referring to the killing of BSF jawan Narender.

After India’s retaliatory strike, Pakistan Army corps commander visited the border area on September 26 to boost the morale of the elite unit of Pakistan Rangers trapped and hit by the BSF. Outgoing BSF DG KK Sharma had on Friday said sufficient action was taken and Narender ‘s killing was avenged on the LoC. Sharma had also said the Pakistan side had vacated five km of the area from the zero line fearing further retribution and mortar shelling from the BSF.

The retaliatory action was planned by the BSF swiftly, and “fox game” played by the Intelligence agencies, was used ahead of the action against them. In a fox game, the agencies use the communication and media platforms to hoodwink the adversary and reduce their alertness.

The casualty figures are significant especially when the BSF has not used mortar firing to retaliate against the counterpart.

“A series of fronts and posts were activated along the LoC, fox game was in full play and a successful coordinated action was executed against the adversary. All the action was executed on their (Pakistan) side of the LoC,” an official privy to the details said.

The sources also did not rule out further action against Pakistani forces.

"How Bollywood Targets The Hindus" is relevant to this thread? I was under the impression that the problem is between 2 sets of Indian.

Such "internal" squabble should be kept to India related thread.

Note: Re-written for clarity

is it your premise that Hindu's being targeted by bollywood is a mere coincidence??

The major financing is bhai controlled and they dictate what and which movies are to be made. Where do these "bhais" live and who controls them?? Why is the ISI increasingly being shown as some sort of a benign and santa claus type of organization in Indian movies now??

We are in the midst of a full scale propaganda assault and the target is the gullible younger generation and we are not even able to see it.??

the lootyens controlled presstitutes plant fake news, the commie pasand presstitutes target the Hindus openly and bollywood puts the cherry on the top.

Each "minority" group has its own tight control over the media and a very large part of these brains is offshore as is the financing. Just look at who is reporting the news on the ground. Except for a few of the older local reporters, a majority of the new ones are sourced almost exclusively from these two groups. So sourcing, content management and delivery are increasingly being controlled so as to project exactly what they want to.

Hand on heart, is kailash satyarthi nobel peace prize material?? Just why and how did this clown snag a nobel?? That's how much control and clout they have and they have made a very definite point to the Indian politicians by selecting an absolute non entity for the nobel and thus have demonstrated to Indian politicians that if the conditions are made right for us, you too can get a nobel.

Earlier they limited themselves to hinting and whispering to at least two of our ex prime ministers that a nobel was in their grasp, if only certain conditions were fulfilled. This time they have clearly shown that they can easily deliver as promised.

First, check out who owns the so called "Indian" media houses and newspapers and then draw conclusions.

This NEVER was a problem between two groups of Indians, as you put it.

It is a very real threat to our national interests.

Take a look below because the threats mentioned therein are just as real and as poisonous to our interests. See who all are involved and how slyly they operate. Most of them are funded from abroad.

Foreign Funds And Indian Civil Society – How Foreign Money Shapes National Discourse

Various data points are presented on:

Fund amounts being transferred to Indian non-profit entities
The nature of donors and the nature of recipients
The uses to which this money is put.

This data is utilized to study major donors, recipients and see how they jointly shape the directions that civil society takes. The talk presents different approaches that they take such as:

Lobbying the legislature for law making.

Filing public interest litigation for directing the course of judicial activism
Participating in social services provided by the executive arm of the Indian State
This is followed by some specific instances that have captured the attention of the Indian public such as the Jallikattu ban, the RTE Act – it’s draft, passage and enforcement as well as others that have not – Childline services, prison visits and building trafficking databases.

The video talks about bhaiwood's portrayal of Hindus both og the groups internal to India. Even you have identified bhaiwood and lootyen media as the culprit in the present instance.

If the issue has to be resolved "with" bakistan by all means make it a part of the dialog between the two and post all material on issue on Bakistan related thread.

If OTOH, it has to be sorted out internally within India, it has no business being on the menu and hence has no place in this thread.

If we extend that logic, SC seems to have been captured by western interests. So now do we add "reforming SC of India" on the menu at talks with America and Europe from where most of their ideas originate or do we fix the matter by setting our system right?

Pakistan shouldn’t violate the buffer zone at LoC - TOI Editorials

Tension between governments of India and Pakistan has escalated in the last few weeks. The verbal jousting has also spilled over to the United Nations. The current tension has also shown up in terms of repeated ceasefire violations. On Sunday, matters came dangerously close to getting worse when India’s air defense system directed small arms fire at a Pakistani helicopter violating the existing protocol which has carved out a buffer zone to prevent accidents. The Pakistani helicopter was ostensibly carrying Raja Farooq Haidar Khan, prime minister of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir.

India and Pakistan in 2003 reached a ceasefire understanding, which among other things aims to avoid ratcheting up problems. In May, both armies reiterated the understanding. It’s important at this moment for them to keep all channels of communication open to ensure that the situation does not spin out of control. As long as Pakistan uses terror as a strategic tool, its relationship with India will be volatile. Given this backdrop, it’s imperative that both armies scrupulously stick to the modus vivendi to prevent the situation from spinning out of control. Sunday’s incident did not lead to fatalities. But it did show how easily the situation can spin out of control. There is a buffer zone at the Line of Control and it needs to be observed.

Cheers

Chini Foreign Minister "Skirts Around" Th e Question About Masood Azhar

Chinese Foreign Minister questioned about Masood Azhar

Excerpt from the session at Council on Foreign Relations:

Q: Barnett Rubin, New York University.
The United States has very much appreciated the cooperation of China in efforts to fight terrorism and to bring peace and development to Afghanistan. But there is one point which we sometimes find difficult to understand in view of China’s strong stance against terrorism, and that is, why does China defend terrorists based in Pakistan from U.N. Security Council resolutions? What is China doing to end state-supported and -sanctioned terrorism in Pakistan? And will China-India cooperation in Afghanistan, as discussed after the Wuhan summit, extend to cooperation against terrorism based in Pakistan against India and Afghanistan?

WANG: I’m concerned if you have very close ties with India. It seems that you and your Indian friends are very much on the same page (on this issue ?).
I want to say first and foremost China is against all forms of terrorism. And secondly, we have been supporting and encouraging Pakistan in its efforts in fighting terrorism. Years ago, at the request of the U.S., Pakistan participated in the fight against al-Qaida in Afghanistan. Pakistan actually paid a heavy price for that. Pakistan has paid a heavy price and has made a huge contribution. We believe that there should be a fair judgment of what they did.
As for the listing issue at the U.N., which organizations should be listed and which not, we will continue to be fair in—(inaudible). If all parties come to a consensus, we will support it. But it is the parties that are rightly concerned who are not coming around to the same conclusion, like India and Pakistan don’t have the same conclusions. Then what should we do? Maybe we can set aside this a little bit, and when there is a consensus we can move this forward. I think that is a reasonable approach. Whether these people are terrorists or not there should be solid facts and proof. If there is irrefutable evidence, no one can turn its back on it. I don’t think Pakistan will do that.As for the differences that you referred to, they are very complicated because they involve some historical background and territorial issues. So we hope that the parties directly concerned will be able to come to a consensus, and then together we will be able to push the process forward. We think that is a better way to go, and we will stay in close touch with India on this issue because we also have very good ties with the Indian side. We hope to see an early consensus, and together we can contribute to the fight against terror. I thank you.

Gives the (wrong) impression that China has no leverage against Pakistan !

PTI Protects The H&D Of Shah Mohamed Qureshi , Foreign Minister Of Pakistan

‘Independent’ candidate Muhammad Salman who defeated PTI’s Shah Mehmood disqualified
Oct 1, 2018

MULTAN – The Election Commission of Pakistan has disqualified Muhammad Salman, an independent-turned-Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf lawmaker Muhammad Salman, who defeated the incumbent foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi in the last general elections for PP-217 seat of the Punjab Assembly.

The decision came on a petition filed by a local leader of PTI who highlighted that Muhammad Salman was underage and was thus not qualified to be a lawmaker.

Announcing the reserved verdict on Monday, the election-watchdog has ordered re-election in the constituency.‘According to Nadra record, the age of Muhammad Salman is less than 25 years, however, legally no candidate, less than 25 years of age is qualified to retain the seat,’ stated ECP in its verdict.

Why was he allowed to contest the election in the first place ?

Muhammad Salman had taken part in the July 25 polls as an independent contender, however, surprised the political analysts by beating Shah Mehmood Qureshi – who was the strongest candidate for the slot of CM Punjab at the time.

After securing victory, Salman joined PTI and a picture of him along with party chief Imran Khan and former secretary general, Jahangir Tareen irked the supporters of Shah Mehmood Qureshi.

Who used their sifarish to get Salman disqualified !
