Pakistan Army instructed terrorists to wear military uniforms to dodge foreign observers: Govt sources

Pakistan Army instructed terrorists to wear military uniforms to dodge foreign observers: Govt sources
In a bid to avoid getting caught by the international community, the Pakistan Army has issued detailed instructions to terrorists operating close to the Line of Control (LoC) to wear military uniforms to dodge foreign observers.
"There is Pakistan army's design to cover up terror launch pads along the LoC. Terrorists have been asked to dress up in Pakistan military uniform to avoid identification. This is in view of the visit by a delegation of European Union MPs to Jammu and Kashmir and LoC. Pakistan army has issued instructions to terror groups to wear military uniforms at the launch pads around Pakistan army bases so that they cannot be identified visibly there," government sources said.
The Pakistan army senior officials have also been given instructions at the top level to ensure that the instructions are observed and carried out properly by terror groups on the ground.
The Pakistani Army had made terrorists wear military clothing during the visit of 'pliable' foreign diplomats.

But when a reporter posed a question to Trump prior to his meeting with Khan, the US President appeared to parry her query.
"Mr. President, when you head out to India, will you also visit Pakistan?" the reporter asked.

No mention of Kashmir in US readout of Trump-Imran meet
NEW YORK: Although US President DonaldTrump had said that he is talking with Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan about Kashmir, there was no specific mention of it in the official US readout of their meeting.
The readout of the meeting in Davos on Tuesday makes only a mention of "regional issues" among the many topics discussed, chief among them Afghanistan, where the US is negotiating a settlement with the Taliban.
According to a White House transcript, before their meeting Trump said: "We're talking about Kashmir and the relation to what's going on with Pakistan and India. And if we can help, we certainly will be helping.
He added: "And we've been watching that and following it very, very closely." Trump was careful in his wording about a possible involvement in the Kashmir issue compared to the past, qualifying his statement with the preface, "if we can help."
It apparently takes into account India's opposition to any third party involvement in the Kashmir or other disputes between the two countries because of the 1972 Simla Agreement in which the two countries agreed to deal with their disputes bilaterally.
Trump created a diplomatic furore in July when he claimed before a meeting with Khan in Washington that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had asked him to mediate or arbitrate the Kashmir issue.
He said that when he met Modi in Osaka in June during the G-20 Summit, "We talked about the subject, (and) he actually said, 'Would you like to mediate, mediate or arbitrate?' I said, 'Where?' (and he said) 'Kashmir'."
India strongly denied Trump's claim about the request for his involvement in the Kashmir issue.
Before his meeting with Khan in New York in September, Trump had said that he would "be an extremely good arbitrator" in the two countries asked him to "iron out differences".
"And if at any time they say, you know, 'We have some points we think you can maybe iron out,' I think I'd be an extremely good arbitrator," he added.
According to the transcript of remarks before the Davos meeting, Khan suggested that Washington play a role in resolving the issues with India.
He said, "For us, in Pakistan, it's a big issue. And, of course, we always hope that the US will play its part in resolving it because no other country can."
The focus of the talks between Trump and Khan on Tuesday was on Afghanistan, where the US is negotiating with the Taliban for peace deal that would allow the US to withdraw its troops from there or considerably scale back their presence.
Trump would like to reach a deal with the Taliban, which is backed by Pakistan, before the November elections so he can claim he kept his 2016 poll promise of bringing back US troops from the longest war it has been involved in.
Khan's leverage with Trump comes from his influence with the Taliban, who have found sanctuaries and help in Pakistan even as they waged war against the US in Afghanistan.
The readout of the meeting said: The two leaders agreed to continue efforts to seek a
lasting political settlement in Afghanistan that would bring peace and ensure terrorists can no longer operate from the country."
Before their meeting, Khan said that during their discussions "the main issue, of course, is Afghanistan because it concerns the US and Pakistan. And, fortunately, we are on the same page. Both of us are interested in peace there and an orderly transition in Afghanistan with talks with Taliban and the government."
Asked by a reporter if he would be visiting Pakistan during his forthcoming trip to India, Trump said he will not as he was meeting Khan in Davos.
"Well, we're visiting right now (with Khan), so we won't really have to. But we -- I wanted to say hello for both a relationship standpoint -- we've had a great relationship -- and from the standpoint of our two countries," Trump said.
He added, "We're getting along very well. I would say we've never been closer with Pakistan than we are right now. And that's a big statement, although I wouldn't say at all times we were close, as a country. But we are very close right now because of the relationship that we have.
So it's very important."

Imran Khan 'desperate', his remarks show 'growing sense of frustration': India on Pak PM raising Kashmir in Davos
NEW DELHI: India on Thursday slammed Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan for his call for international intervention to prevent a conflict between the "two-nuclear armed countries" over Kashmir, saying that such remarks made by the Pakistani leader were "desperate" and reflected a "growing sense of frustration".
At a weekly briefing here, MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said that the global community has realised Pakistan's double standards with regard to terror and said that Islamabad should focus more on taking irreversible and credible action on tackling terror.
"We have seen reports about certain remarks on India and India-Pakistan relations made by Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan at Davos. We are hardly surprised by the content and tone of his remarks. There is nothing new in what he has said. His remarks show that he is desperate and losing hope. The comments are not only factually inaccurate and contradictory, but also demonstrate a growing sense of frustration," he said.
"Pakistan has to realise that the global community has seen through their double standards. While they pretend to be victims of terrorism on the one hand, they support terrorists and extremist groups to carry out terror acts in India and other countries on the other hand," Kumar said
The MEA spokesperson said that if Pakistan is indeed serious to normalise its ties with India, the onus is on Islamabad to create a conducive atmosphere free from terror and hostility.
"They have to take credible, irreversible and verifiable action against terror groups operating from their soil rather than making misleading and alarmist statements to divert the attention of international community. He should focus on what is happening in his own country. We do not need his advice on what is going on in India," the MEA spokesperson added.
Kumar's comments came a day after Imran Khan said that the world cannot have two nuclear-armed nations "at such sensitive relations," in an apparent reference to the Kashmir issue.
"You cannot have two nuclear-armed countries even contemplating a conflict," he said during an interview with the International Media Council on the sidelines of WEF in Davos.
He also said that countries like the UN and US "must act" to prevent tensions between the "two nuclear-armed countries" from reaching a "point of no return". "This is why I asked for international overseers to come to the LoC," Khan asserted.
Meanwhile, Kumar spoke about the next month's FATF meetings which will review Pakistan's progress on tackling terror funding.
"We are aware that the plenary and working group meeting (of FATF) will take place in Paris starting from February 16. We presume that FATF will evaluate the progress made by Pakistan on the basis of a set criteria," he said.
"In the last plenary meeting, the body had expressed concerns with overall lack of progress by Pakistan to address its terror financing risks, including serious deficiencies in demonstrating understanding of its trans-national terror financing risks emanating from areas under its control," Kumar stated.
The FATF in 2018 placed Pakistan on the grey list and the watchdog has already granted Islamabad an extension till February 2020 during a meeting in October last year.
The body warned that Islamabad would be put on the blacklist if it did not comply with the remaining 22 out of 27 points related to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing.

Trump’s visit to India next month won’t include Pakistan: FO - Baqir Sajjad Syed
ISLAMABAD: The Foreign Office on Thursday confirmed that US President Donald Trump’s visit to India next month would not include Pakistan. Reality Check : India does not agree to any World Leader visiting India to visit Pakistan immediately before or after visiting India.
President Trump “wants an exclusive visit to Pakistan which is not linked to any other visit in the region because Pakistan has its own distinct place,” FO Spokesperson Aisha Farooqi said at the weekly media briefing. Mr Trump is expected to visit India in February. The speculated dates are Feb 24 – 25. Comments : Vivasta Ka Naam - Exclusive Visit!
The US president was invited to visit Pakistan by Prime Minister Imran Khan during his visit to Washington in July last year. The debate about Mr Trump’s visit to Pakistan got renewed during the recent World Economic Forum in Davos when he was asked about his plans to visit Pakistan.
Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi increased the expectations by announcing through a statement that Mr Trump would visit Pakistan soon.
Many believe that Mr Trump’s visit to Islamabad would be linked to progress on Afghan peace process.
Ms Farooqi said that she could not give an exact time frame of the visit, as of now, and that it may take place later this year. “The two sides are working on it,” she said.
The spokesperson confirmed that Pakistan was engaged with the US on the issue of review of Pakistan’s grey list status by Financial Action Task Force (FATF). The issue was discussed during a meeting between PM Imran Khan and President Trump in Davos and Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, during the PM’s recent visit to Washington.
“Our constant message is that Pakistan has taken a whole range of steps and made huge progress in implementation of the Action Plan,” she said.
The review of Pakistan’s progress on shortcomings in counter-terror financing and anti-money laundering regimes will be undertaken at FATF’s meeting in Paris in February.
Pakistan stay on grey list was extended for four months at the last FATF meeting in October because of inadequate progress for regaining normal status.
Ms Farooqi reiterated concerns about Indian quest for induction of ballistic missile defence (BMD) systems in the region.
“We feel that such destabilising systems can undermine deterrence and stability in South Asia and lead to an unnecessary arms race. Pakistan has proposed discussions on a strategic restraint regime for South Asia, which includes the proposal to avoid the induction of destabilising weapons’ systems,” she said.

Pakistan's external affairs to be challenging in2020; ties to remain tense with India: Think tank
Tense relations with India would continue to consume much of Pakistan's strategic and diplomatic bandwidth, Islamabad Policy Institute said in its report 'Pakistan Outlook 2020: Politics, Economy & Security'. Also, the peace process in Afghanistan would in near future continue to be marred by uncertainty.
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's external affairs would remain challenging throughout 2020, having serious implications on economy and security, including tense relations with India, a Pakistani think-tank said on Sunday.
Tense relations with India would continue to consume much of Pakistan's strategic and diplomatic bandwidth, Islamabad Policy Institute said in its report 'Pakistan Outlook 2020: Politics, Economy & Security'. Also, the peace process in Afghanistan would in near future continue to be marred by uncertainty, Dawn news quoted the report as saying.
"Pakistan's external environment will remain challenging throughout 2020 which will have serious implications for its economy, security and internal stability," said the report.
The situation in Kashmir and plight of the Muslims in India will guide Pakistan's engagement with Delhi. Chances of limited conflict between India and Pakistan would remain high, he added.
Tensions between India and Pakistan have spiked since India abrogated Article 370 of the Constitution to revoke the special status of Jammu and Kashmir in August last year. India's decision evoked strong reactions from Pakistan, which downgraded diplomatic ties and expelled the Indian envoy.
India has categorically told the international community that the scrapping of Article 370 was its internal matter. It also advised Pakistan to accept the reality and stop all anti-India propaganda.
The report by Islamabad Policy Institute was reviewed after analysing the current trends in external environment, economy, political stability, and security and on the basis of that made short-term projections in these areas.
In the report, the Foreign policy aspect has been analysed by former foreign secretary Salman Bashir, while the military dimension has been dealt with by former defence secretary retired Lt Gen Asif Yasin Malik.
Economist Syed Hussain Haider evaluated the economic situation and Farhan Bokhari assessed the prospects of political stability, the paper reported.
"The foremost threat to Pakistan's security from India has become dire with transformation of India as a Hindu state under the Bharatiya Janata Party," Bashir in the report alleged.
"US support for India, while ignoring Delhi's reckless behaviour was in violation of all norms of civility, international norms and principles," he said in the report.
The report also highlighted that navigating China-US competition will test craft of Pakistani policy-makers in near term.
"This would, moreover, strain Pakistan-US ties while complicating regional environment from Pakistan's perspective," it said.
About ties with the US, it said, it is a near certainty that bilateral engagement will remain limited to the minimum agenda of Afghanistan for foreseeable future and transactional nature of the relationship will continue," the paper reported.
On the economic front, the report projected that Pakistan's GDP growth would remain close to 2.5 per cent because of slowdown specifically in large scale manufacturing and agriculture sectors
Economist Bokhari believes that as long as party structures remain weak and led by families where highest offices have passed on in a hereditary manner, political parties will remain inherently weak and unable to meaningfully contribute to the discourse on key policy issues.

What I want to emphasise — and this also relates to Davos and the global political economy — is that our fundamental posture with regards to generating strategic rents from external patrons has remained unchanged. In this sense alone, it scarcely matters whether the patron is the US, China, IMF, Saudi Arabia, Qatar or any other country /entity, because economic decision-making is dictated by the interests of a parasitic establishment rather than the welfare of our 220 million people.

From Times Of India: Hindu girl abducted from wedding venue, converted, married off in Pakistan
AMRITSAR: A teenaged Hindu bride from Pakistan's Sindh province was allegedly kidnapped from the venue of her wedding a few days ago, converted and married off to a Muslim man by the time police responded to her parents' complaint and traced her to Karachi.
Ravi Dawani, general secretary of the All Pakistan Hindu Panchayat, told TOI on Monday that it was the third instance in less than two weeks of Hindu girls being targeted, including a 15-year-old from Sindh who was kidnapped on January 15 and converted to Islam.
“The bride from Hala in Matiari district of Sindh was converted to Islam at Banoria in Karachi and married off to one Shahrukh Memon,” Dawani said.
He said the Hindu panchayat helped the girl’s family approach the police, who sent a team to Karachi to bring her back to Sindh. She was produced in a Hala court on Monday, but it wasn't immediately known whether action had been ordered against those accused of kidnapping her.
In the case of the 15-year-old, a resident of Jacobabad district, a court has directed the police to get an ossification test done to confirm her age.
Dawani said a 25-year-old woman from Kot Gulam Mohammad town of Mirpur Khas district had also been whisked away from her home four days ago and converted to Islam. She is now married to a Muslim man identified as Ghulam Mustafa. “We are still to verify whether the woman got married to Mustafa against her wishes," Dawani said.
National assembly member Ramesh Kumar Vankwani, who is from PM Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and patron of the Pakistan Hindu Council, didn’t respond to queries from TOI about the spike in allegedly forced conversion and marriage of Hindu girls. Kheal Das Kohistani of the opposition Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) condemned the incidents, saying forcible conversion and attacks on Hindu shrines had left the minority community scared.
Dawani claimed that unidentified people recently vandalised the Mata Rani temple at Chachro in Tharparkar district of Sindh.
On January 4, a mob had attacked Gurdwara Nankana Sahib in Nankana Sahib, the birthplace of Guru Nanak Dev. This followed the kidnapping, conversion and forced marriage of a Sikh preacher’s daughter.

PM Imran to visit Malaysia next week
By Our CorrespondentPublished: January 28, 2020
ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan is expected to travel to Malaysia next week as part of the government’s ‘damage control’ efforts after Pakistan pulled out of the Kuala Lumpur summit in December last year.
Official sources confirmed that the premier is scheduled to travel to Kuala Lumpur on an official visit on February 3-4.
The visit was due since Islamabad pulled out of the Kuala Lumpur summit at the last moment after Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries voiced their reservations over the gathering of leaders from host Malaysia, Turkey, Iran and Qatar.
Saudi Arabia viewed the summit as efforts by certain Muslim countries to create a new Islamic bloc. Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, however, dismissed such reports. Pakistan pulls out of KL summit to maintain ‘neutrality’
Pakistan, which initially accepted the invitation, had to withdraw from the summit on the grounds to maintain its ‘neutral position’ within the Islamic world.The prime minister, nevertheless, spoke to his Malaysian counterpart over the phone and offered him to visit after the summit.
It is evident that the PM Imran will use the visit to explain as to why Pakistan pulled out of the summit.
