Hassan Niazi was arrested for volition of peace...

Attended by former ambassadors and? prominent members of the civil society from both sides, the track-II Dubai Dialogue Group discussed ways to deal with any fallout of another 26/11 type of terror strike in India with assistance from any Pakistani state or non- state actor. They also focused on what the two governments could do to keep dialogue going despite the recent cancellation of foreign secretary-level talks.

The meeting took place with the knowledge of the Indian government. "We discussed all issues including J&K, terrorism and Afghanistan. The MEA (ministry of external affairs) was kept informed and we will soon give a report to them (about the dialogue output)," Gen Ashok K Mehta, the convener of Dubai dialogue, told this newspaper....

While the government is not associated with the Dubai group, its approval for the same to go ahead in difficult circumstances is significant as it came at a time when neither country seemed sure about how to move ahead.

The Dubai dialogue also had representatives from Kashmir from both sides. Apart from Mehta, ambassador Jayanta Prasad also participated in the dialogue. The Pakistani delegation was headed by Humayun Khan?, former ambassador to Afghanistan

He sounded almost apologetic to the Pakistani Anchors who were accusing Narendra Modi and BJP of Belligerence in the cross border firing incidents. He is elder brother of Vinod Mehta who has openly supported Dhoti Roy, Tarun Tejpal and other ant-India development brigade members.

Haha this is amazing. Look at 1:08. All the while the organizers on the stage were frantically pacifying the people. But then one politician type dude on stage is hit with a water bottle and amazingly, he picks the bottle and throws back to the crowd. The look on nearby organizer's face is priceless!

Edit: Also: 03:40, when a Nawaz supporter grabs the mic and shouts Jiye Sharif 4-5 times before the organizers realize and push him off the stage! haha

400% sure he holds both UK and Paki passport. Any RAPE worth his salt holds a 2nd passport of some western country. Australia seems to be hot nowadays. Veena Malik gave birth to baby boy in Londonistan. British citizen by birth. It looks like a new strategy.

A tribal jirga has been set up to arrange talks between the government and ‘Mehsud Taliban’.

Members of the jirga, elders of the Mehsud tribe, will meet commanders of factions of Mehsud Taliban somewhere in Waziristan over the next three days to forge an understanding for a peace accord with the government in the region.

Ikramuddin, father-in-law of Baitullah Mehsud, heads the jirga and Shaw Rang, Matab Khan, Rafah Khan, Maulvi Abdur Rahim, Azizullah, Haji Mohammad, Maulvi Asamullah and Zafar Ali Shah Barki are its members. Two other members will be named later.

The sources said the peace initiative was started when a Waziristan tribal jirga was called by the Corps Commander at his office in Peshawar about two weeks ago. The jirga had a one-point agenda of persuading Mehsud Taliban to reach an accord with the government.

The Islamic Republics of Pakistan’s only other steel manufacturer of any significance and that to only by the standards of the Islamic Republic, Tuwairqi Steel Mills Limited (TSML), has stopped steel manufacturing since November 2013.

Sole Islamic Nuclear Weapon Power is incapable of producing steel except via the scrap metal / electric arc furnace route and that too only in very modest quantities . How very unmartial not to be able to manufacture the raw material to produce a sword :

Pakistan's Army Chief Gen Raheel Sharif will visit the US next month for crucial security talks with American defence officials, his first such trip since taking over as Chief of Army Staff (COAS) last year.

His week-long visit is likely to start from mid-November and preparations for trip are underway, defence sources said.

Gen Sharif has been invited by Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen Martin Dempsey. He is expected to meet defence secretary Chuck Hagel, Cenycom Commander General Lloyd Austin and also visit Centcom headquarters in Tampa, Florida.

Gen Sharif assumed the post of army chief in November and it took him almost a year to decide on a trip to the US, a move which speaks about the tensions between the defence establishments of the two countries over an array of issues.

However, the visit indicates that the two sides are ready to look forward and ready to work in post-2014 Afghanistan where a sizeable number of US and Nato troops will stay.

Pakistan had asked US not to completely abandon the war-torn Afghanistan which needs both security and economic support for its survival.

Sharif goes to the US armed with the success of military operation in North Waziristan which is predecessor Gen Ashfaq Kayani refused to launch despite American pressure.

The new Pakistan army chief is apparently more clear in his approach towards the militants and has said several times that the operation will continue till militants are wiped out.

That is why a smaller operation was also launched in Khyber which is crucial for the security of Afghanistan as a key supply route to the country passes through Khyber.

The issues of tension with India will also come up for discussions during the trip as sources said that the US is worried over the recent deadly clashes at borders.

The visit also shows that US is again ready to engage with Pakistan military which has emerged stronger in the current power struggle in the country.

While giving as good as it gets, former chief justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry claimed Monday that Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan was a Musharraf sell-out when confronted with a question by media representatives pertaining to his role in the alleged rigging in the May 2013 elections.

Chaudhry said there would be no compromise on the case registered against the PTI chief. He moreover said that Khan did not deem anyone worthy of respect except himself.

Chaudhry had arrived to Sheikh's residence in a car which bore no number plate. On being questioned, the former CJ declared the absence of number plate as a security issue.

Always in the headlines, film actor Meera has said that she was still willing to marry Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan if the latter proposed. Attending the Quadi-i-Azam Trophy tournament at Lahore's Qadhafi Stadium, the actor said she would be happy to marry Imran if he asked her.

An Israeli cultural stall set up at a university here [Islamabad] as part of a U.N. debate contest was closed soon after it created a “wave of anger” among religious and political circles as the organisers of booth described the Jewish state as a “land of peace and prosperity”.

The stall, organised at the International Islamic University (IIU){of all the places, } , was part of the “U.N. Debate Contest” and showcased Israeli culture and products, News International reported on Sunday. However,it was closed soon after authorities came to know about it. {How were the Israelis issued visa to the Fortress of Islam, the only nation founded on Islam ? Blasphemous.}

Pakistan and Israel do not have diplomatic relations as the Muslim nation refuses to recognise the Jewish state.

As the Indians seek permission to export over a million tonnes of wheat to Afghanistan through Pakistan’s land route, the flour milling industry here is up in arms, threatening protests and warning of the adverse impact that it would have on its business.

It is exerting active pressure on federal ministries to pre-empt the move. The industry thinks that subsidised Indian wheat would drive it out of the Afghan market, which it takes more of an extension of its business for two reasons: proximity and high profits.

Indian wheat would cost PKR2,900 per tonne in Afghanistan, against Pakistani commodity at Rs3,400 per tonne. This difference of Rs500 per tonne is bound to tilt the competitive edge in favour of the Indian wheat and Pakistan would lose its traditional market that consumes over half a million tonne of flour from Pakistan.

Brad Goodman wrote:India seeks transit facility for wheat export to Afghanistan

It is not only the general subsidy on farm inputs that makes the Indian wheat cheaper as compared to Pakistan, but the Indian government, if the Pakistani industry is to be believed, has also offered a specific $50 per tonne additional subsidy to exporters, thus driving the price further down.

The possible permission has also revived old fears of farmers. The Indian wheat carries Karnal Brunt (a kind of disease), that they think would spread in Pakistan if wheat is allowed to be traded through the country. Given the porous nature of Afghan transit trade and borders, they fear that the disease-carrying Indian wheat may be diverted to Pakistan and destroy its wheat base, which enjoys a good reputation in the world market.
