ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistan has captured an "important" al Qaeda leader in an operation near the Pakistan-Iran border, officials said on Wednesday, amid criticism from the United States the country was not doing enough to fight militancy.

Out of no where they catch an IMPORTANT al-qaeda leader

Ceasefire violation: Pak continues firing for seventh day.

Poonch, Jammu & Kashmir:  After a period of brief lull, Pakistani troops resumed firing at Indian posts situated at the Line of Control (LoC) in the Krishna Ghati sector of Poonch district in Jammu & Kashmir today, forcing the Indian side to retaliate in defence.

 

You kufr, you have it all wrong. Its the other way around. Pakistan protests cross-border firing by Indian troops. Just for this unprovoked misadventure, India owes pa'astan 5000 MW of free electricity in perpetuity.

Pakistan, on Wednesday, protested at local level against unprovoked firing by Indian troops at Buttal Sector along the Line of Control (LoC). According to military sources, firing ended after the protest. Two civilians, including a child, were injured on the Pakistani side as a result of the firing. It may be mentioned here that Indian troops resorted to unprovoked firing at Buttal Sector which started on Tuesday afternoon.

Points to note: LoC is now the "border". And, as a matter of routine civilians (including an inncocent child) were killed by the unprovoked and callous firing by the unbelievers.

NightWatch

For the night of 19 June 2012

Pakistan: The Supreme Court of Pakistan has disqualified Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani from holding office, retroactive to the date of his conviction for contempt of court.


Chief Justice Chaudhry declared that Gilani's office had been effectively vacant since 26 April when the court convicted him on contempt charges because he refused to pursue a corruption case against President Zardari from before he became president which would have disqualified him from office. Gilani argued the president has constitutional immunity from prosecution.


Tuesday's ruling disqualified Gilani from office and from parliament under laws passed by parliament concerning qualifications of its members, including no criminal convictions.


The leader of the governing coalition, the Pakistan People's Party (PPP), held an emergency session to decide its next move.


Comment: There are no good guys in this political crisis and it could worsen to include judicial action to disqualify president Zardari. That is the next logical legal step.


Gilani

Gilani simply refused to carry out a direct order of the Supreme Court, in the interest of protecting the president. He concurred in the conviction and served a trivial sentence which for members of parliament was administered by the Speaker of the National Assembly. He declined to appeal. Now the Speaker of the National Assembly also is under investigation for contempt of the Supreme Court.


Chief Justice Chaudhry

Chief Justice Chaudhry has deep seated resentments against Zardari and Musharraf for their roles in his unconstitutional house arrest in 2007. He is the only Chief Justice to ever have been suspended and was not reinstated until 2009. Nevertheless, he strictly and aggressively interprets and applies the laws passed by parliament, which consistently cause the undoing of its members.


One reason for this is his campaign to establish the independence of the judiciary in Pakistan as a co-equal branch of government. In practice, the judges have been manipulated, suborned or ignored in Pakistan's parliamentary system because most are civil servants of the Justice Ministry. Chaudhry has been their champion.


The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Faction

The complaint against Gilani and the new complaint against the Speaker of the National Assembly were brought by a collection of plaintiffs, most prominently associated with the Pakistan Muslim League -Nawaz. Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif was exiled by President Musharraf for eight years and only was permitted to return in 2007 after Musharraf resigned. Nawaz Sharif strongly backed the reinstatement of Chief Justice Chaudhry in 2009.


Nawaz Sharif has had designs on returning to the leadership of the government for at least five years. Removing Gilani and weakening the PPP are important steps in a long term political strategy. Nawaz and the PML-N want to remove president Zardari as well. Nawaz Sharif is no friend of the United States.


Chief of Army Staff General Kayani

Finally, Chaudhry almost certainly consulted with Chief of Army Staff General Kayani and other key security officials if only to warn them of potential security consequences. Chaudhry has cultivated ties with Kayani to build support for his campaign to ensure the autonomy of judges in exchange for close judicial scrutiny of government attempts to overreach in military affairs.


Thus, far there have been no civil disorders, but demonstrations in Islamabad are likely this week.

PR suspends 20 trains in Lahore Div

LAHORE – The Sub-Committee of National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Railways Chairman Ramesh Lal has held Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif responsible for the burning of trains in Kamoke.Addressing a press conference after chairing the sub-committee meeting at Railways Headquarters on Tuesday, PPP MNA appealed to the Chief Justice of Pakistan to take notice of the incident.Four coaches of Babu Passenger Train between Lahore and Sialkot were set on fire by angry protesters in Kamokea and Gujranwala during a protest against massive loadshedding on Monday night. The Railways on Tuesday announced temporarily suspension of at least 20 passenger trains in Lahore division. The trains were closed down on security issues and would be restored after improvement in law and order situation, said the spokesman of the utility. He said the department had to suffer about Rs4 million loss because of complete burning of four coaches of Babu Train.“Despite repeated requests by me and the Railways Police IG, neither the district police nor the rescue workers responded to the situation,” regretted Lal, adding that if Shahbaz Sharif claimed himself a true patriotic then he must stop the destruction of national assets in the Punjab. The trains which the Railways announced to suspend are: one train from Lahore to Okara, one from Lahore to Jaranwala, two from Lahore to Shorkot, one from Lahore to Wazirabad, three from Lahore to Narowal, four from Lahore to Faisalabad and three from Lahore to Sialkot. Earlier, the sub-committee members appreciated the Railways Lahore divisional superintendent on his performance against the land grabbers. The members expressed concerns over giving a Railways’ plot worth billions of rupees in Karachi only on Rs10,000 per month rent. “What would happen with the department when its officers like DS Karachi would themselves involve in such theft?” commented Ramesh Lal when he was informed about the issue. He regretted that three deputy general managers of the department were transferred in only three months. The committee was told that import and export were severely damaged at dry ports and big losses contributed to the utility because of shortage of locomotives. Railways Traffic AGM Razaq Shah, answering a question, replied that Shuttle Service between Lahore and Shahdara would be stopped if it failed to attract the passengers.

The president said that the PPP had temporarily accepted the court’s judgment, despite its reservations on the ruling, for the sake of democracy. Moreover, he said that the next general elections would be held in eight months time.. . .

Temporary acceptance of court's verdict in the interest of democracy ? So, there is only temporary democracy in TSP.

Zardari might want the next general elections next year but his government would not last that long. He had better keep handy an open one-way flight ticket to New York, his favourite destination.

That is a Cohen, Moeed Yusuf joint production. The op-ed analyses as to what the US should do to stop Pakistan from 'undermining the US interests in Afghanistan'. The sinister conclusion, that India should be used by the US for that purpose by re-establishing the Pakistani focus on India because 'India is what drives Pakistan [mad]' is what we all know here. The form such a focus would take would be to ask India to be generous and accommodating. With closer relationship between India and the US these days, the India project by the US is to use Indians themselves in protecting US interests, even at the cost of India. We have just seen one such attempt, Siachen. More are in store.

[SSridhar]

Can't Lower our Guard Against Pakistan - G.Parthasarathy in BusinessLine
Excerpts

In a world of shifting alliances, it is only prudent for India not to get involved in current US-China rivalries.

This does not mean that India should not collaborate with the US in moves which build an inclusive structure for cooperation in Asia.

TERRITORIAL POSITIONS

The Defence Minister clearly spelt out his stand on handling the Siachen issue when he told Parliament that India stood by its position on the need for “authentication” of actual ground positions as an imperative first step, in any dialogue on the Siachen issue.

He said: “The two sides have first to agree to authentication of respective ground positions, on the 110 kilometre of the actual Ground Position Line along the Saltoro Ridge, then delineation on map and ground and finally demarcation of the agreed border”. Cautioning against excessive optimism on an “early breakthrough”“ in talks with Pakistan, Mr Antony added: “Don’t expect any dramatic results from the next round of talks. It is a complicated issue”.

Following Mr. Antony’s statement in Parliament, there have been leaks of highly classified documents to a national daily, evidently from influential sources in the South Block, which claim that India had virtually reached agreement with Pakistan on withdrawing its forces to positions held during the Simla Agreement of 1972, in exchange for Pakistan marking actual ground positions in separate document and not in the main agreement on disengagement.

Let us get the record straight. I was told by the Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi, in 1989 that an official who had spoken about having reached an agreement with Pakistan on withdrawal from Siachen, had spoken out of turn, and that he could not contemplate withdrawals being sought by Pakistan, after Indian soldiers had shed their blood to prevent a Pakistani incursion into areas we had legitimately claimed.

In 1992, the Prime Minister, Mr Narasimha Rao, had only approved the conduct of negotiations. He had told his officials not to conclude any agreement on withdrawal.

In 1998 the NDA Government authorised the then Defence Secretary, Mr Ajit Kumar, to hold talks confined to authentication of the Line of Control. The question that arises is whether moves are being initiated to dilute Mr Antony’s assurances in Parliament, in order to “manufacture” a “breakthrough” in India-Pakistan relations.

LOC MANIPULATION

Even though the 1949 Agreement declared that beyond the Shyok river in Kargil, the Line of Control proceeds “North to the Glaciers”, Pakistan depicted the LoC moving eastwards to the Karakoram Pass. This would enable a link-up between Pakistan and China north of Ladakh — a link that can threaten our security, especially given the existing Chinese presence in the Shaksgam Valley and also in Gilgit-Baltistan.

We also cannot forget that in Kargil, Pakistan crossed the LoC, asserting that it had not violated the Simla Agreement. Moreover, a former ISI chief, General Ziauddin, has revealed that in 1999 Pakistan asked the then Taliban “President,” Mullah Rabbani, for 20,000-30,000 volunteers for jihad in Kashmir.

Most importantly, it needs to be borne in mind that should the Pakistanis move into positions currently held by us along the hilltops of the Saltoro Ridge, it will be impossible for us to retake these positions. Should all these facts be disregarded in the quest for an imaginary “breakthrough” with Pakistan?

The motivated leaks of classified documents have interestingly come when Pakistan has launched a charm offensive inviting selected Indian scribes and “bleeding hearts” to shed tears about money “wasted” in deploying soldiers on the heights of the Karakoram. This conveniently ignores that fact that it was Pakistan that modified its maps to show that the LoC moving “east to the Karakoram Pass” beyond the Kargil sector and not “North to the Glaciers” as agreed to in 1949.

There are indications that the Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, will respond positively to invitations he has received from Pakistan’s leaders to visit Pakistan. {One hopes that the political situation in Pakistan would prevent such a visit} Exchanges of visits between leaders of neighbouring countries certainly help in promoting understanding, contacts and cooperation. But, it would be a folly to believe, as some of our perennial optimists advocate, that the Pakistan army has had a “change of heart” and can be trusted to keep its word.

This, at a time when it continues to arm and train the Haqqani network in Afghanistan, protects Mr Hafiz Mohammed Saeed and his cohorts from prosecution, revives the Web site of the Jamat ud Dawa, and encourages its proxies in Pakistan to spew venom against India.

Obama and Pakistan

Travel notes

Interestingly, the future community organizer was critical of the role of international NGOs when he went to visit his mother in Indonesia after college. His mother, at this time, was researching the conditions of rural women on behalf of the Ford Foundation. Maraniss writes, "His perspective had been shaped in part by the opinions of the international friends he had made at Occidental, including Hasan Chandoo, who had often criticized the notion of American benevolence, arguing that, in supporting military dictatorships, it had done as much harm as good in the developing world."

Visiting his friend Chandoo -- a Pakistani from a wealthy shipping family -- in Singapore, where he was living at the time, Obama wasn't particularly impressed, as he wrote in a letter to a friend:

"An incongruous place, Singapore, slick and modern and ordered, one vast supermarket surrounded by ocean and forest and the poverty of ages ... Mostly peopled with businessmen from the States, Japan, Hong Kong, as well as various family elites of Southeast Asia. Everything is bought and sold, with unconscious satisfaction."

The Pakistani connection

Relations with Pakistan have been one of Obama's biggest headaches as president, but the country also played a formative role in developing his worldview. Many of his best friends at Occidental and later Columbia were Pakistanis with whom he frequently debated politics. (Chandoo, as it happens, was mentored during a brief stint at the now-defunct Windham College in Vermont by a young professor named Peter Galbraith, who helped get the young man admitted to Occidental and decades later played a pivotal role in Obama's Afghan policy as U.N. Special Representative.)

"The Pakistanis at Oxy," Maraniss writes, "wealthy, intellectual, and intensely opinionated, with their worldly presentation of political theories and capitalist panache -- brought urgency to these discussions of foreign affairs, while the American students seemed to have less at stake."

In 1981, Obama visited his Pakistani friends in Karachi. At the time, the country was under martial law under the rule of the Islamist dictator Zia ul-Haq. Though Obama again mocked his friend Chandoo for espousing leftist politics while living in luxury, Maraniss argues that the trip was an eye-opener for the future president. "Every evening at dinner, often at the homes of various relatives of Chandoo's or Hamid's, he listened to intense discussions about politics and religion. Chandoo was Shia, Hamid [another friend] was Sunni, but both were heavily Weternized and not dogmatic." Chandoo also remembers Obama taking note of the African sharecroppers who worked the fields in Sindh province.

Much has been made -- by allies and enemies alike -- of Obama's complicated relationship with Islam. As he himself has said, "I am a Christian, but my father came from a Kenyan family that includes generations of Muslims." But Maraniss makes a compelling case that these Muslim roots have been overstated. Hussein Onyango, the grandfather Obama never met, may have converted to Islam but was never particularly religious, and was equally influenced by the Christian missionaries in his region. Barack Obama, Sr. was an atheist and Lolo Soetoro was almost entirely unobservant.

To the extent that Obama gained insights on Islam and Muslims early in life, Maraniss suggests, his wealthy, liberal, Pakistani college buddies were probably more influential than his own family.

[SSridhar]

South Waziristan (SWA) is likely to become a battle-ground once again. The PA, which is unwilling to launch any operation in North Waziristan (NWA) is keen on controlling SWA because it belongs largely to 'bad Taliban'.

Army operation in South Waziristan: the TTP and IDPs — Muhammad Zubair

The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has reportedly issued a warning to the residents of the Mehsud areas of South Waziristan Agency (SWA) to vacate their houses. . . .[/quote It was in anticipation of the October 2009 military operations that Mehsud tribesmen of SWA were evicted from their homes, for the last time, and relocated to settled districts as IDPs. . . The irony is that the 2009 military operation in SWA, as the earlier ones, resulted in nothing but turning thousands of houses and hundreds of villages into rubble. The heavy artillery of the military and bombing of jets pounded the empty civilian dwellings incessantly until they were obliterated from the face of earth. . . The Mehsud IDPs of SWA are bitterly frustrated and complain of being the only victims of the military operations as none resulted in the elimination of the TTP, not even a single terrorist worth the name. . . . The IDPs also allege that militants were given safe passage to North Waziristan before the 2009 bombing in order to mislead the US and world community {just as it happened in other FATA areas} that Pakistan is ‘doing more’. Every IDP of SWA is convinced, rightly or wrongly but vehemently, that the army and militants are two sides of the same coin. . . . One such tribal elder Malik Sardar Amanuddin Shamankhel was the lead negotiator who took upon himself the responsibility of mobilising the Mehsud IDPs for repatriation in return for some guarantees from the military authorities. Mysteriously, he went missing from the military camp in Wana in January 2011 and his bullet-riddled and beheaded body was found after two months in Wana. . . . . The military had declared the 2009 operation as a success but the recent warning of the TTP speaks volumes about the so-called success. The fact of the matter is that 90 percent of the Mehsud areas of SWA are still inaccessible, including Makin, Ladha, Kaniguram, Shaga, Chalveshtai, Mizhboz, Mantio, Nano, Karama, Wospass and other adjoining areas. Only the military and the TTP have access to these areas, where they are living side by side in peace. Turning insurgency-infected areas into ghost towns cannot be termed a successful operation by any stretch of the imagination.

What is PA's response ?

PA won't leave SWA - Kayani

Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani on Monday said that Pakistan Army would continue the rehabilitation and reconstruction work for the uplift of the people of South Waziristan, after it had flushed out terrorists and maintained peace in the area.

While meeting tribal elders after inauguration of a cadet college at Spinkai and ground breaking of Tank-Gomal-WANA road, he said army did not want to initiate operations within the country. However, its presence in South Waziristan was to improve the situation and eliminate any chance of reoccurrence of terrorism in the area, he added. Kayani said that army was deployed in the area on the demand of the locals and would remain present there until they wished and until the completion of development projects.

But this wont be the end of PPP because the next Generation is quite young and is in for a long haul and on top PP is perceived as less fundamentalist than ML.

GARDEZ: A Taliban suicide bomber on a motorbike rammed an Afghan-Nato patrol in the town of Khost on Wednesday, killing 21 people, including three US soldiers, officials said.

Another 37 people were wounded in the blast in the eastern town close to the border with Pakistan, where Taliban and other militant insurgents fighting US-led troops have strongholds, hospital officials said.

It was the second major attack on Nato in Khost in three weeks.
