Totally. Fellow is "acceptable religious leader" face of the Army. They are trying to use him to dent Punjab. Then with IK and Altaf Bhai's help (he will be offered a Quid Pro Quo out of his troubles in Londonistan), Sharif the Khakhi wants to dispatch Sharif the Badmash.

Ofcourse Sharif Jr has been bolstering his links with punjabi outfits like SSP. If this erupts into a street fight, it would be popcorn time.

So follow the Tahirul Qadri drama. Apparently his plane (Emirates) circled Isloo 7 times before it was diverted to Lahore (so much care for other passengers on the flight). Fellow is now refusing to get out unless he is flown back to Isloo.

Tahirul Qadri on the TTP: "today's Khawarij":
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1zfp7 ... qadri_news

PS: Per Qadri, Khawarij is an observant Mussalman, who, however, treats some other Mussalmans like unbelievers. While this may resonate with Mussalmans, the message for the unbeliever is clear - Mussalmans will treat you like the TTP treats its victims. So much for any trace of "liberalism" in Mr. Qadri.

He is going back deep into Islam's memory. Kharjites were an extremist cult who murdered quite a few of the Caliphs etc.. Thie use is incovienent leaders get Qadirifed by Kharjites.

I expected in post 2001, the Wahabis would be branded as Kharjites and the moderates take back Islam.

Here they are branidng some mice not even rats as Kharjites!!!

Live updates: I will go to war with the Sharif brothers, says Qadri

ISLAMABAD / LAHORE / RAWALPINDI / KARACHI: A sense of anticipation hangs over the capital as cleric-cum-political leader Tahirul Qadri lands back in Pakistan to throw up one of the bigger political challenges to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) year-old government.

As supporters of PAT chief Tahirul Qadri fervently wait for their leader to kickoff his movement against the ruling government, a sense of anxiety and uncertainty has enveloped the country.

Major roads have been blocked off and security has been tightened in Rawalpindi and Islamabad.

Earlier this week, at least ten people were killed and scores injured in Lahore when violent clashes erupted between the police and followers of Qadri – the deadliest political confrontation in Lahore since emergency rule was imposed by General Musharraf in 2007.

As Qadri plans to go head-to-head with the government for a second time, get all the updates here. All stories relating to Qadri’s rally can also be found on this trend page as well.

[Read: AFP version and Reuters version of the clashes that took place today.]

A large number of passengers were stranded at the airport, suffering side effects of the clash.

The teargas used by police affected passengers who had scant access to water to wash their faces. It was especially difficult for the children to breath in the thick smog of teargas. Some even fainted.

For the detailed report on the situation that prevailed in the twin cities during the day, click here.

Burden of debt
The enormous chunk taken out of the budgetary expenses pie by debt servicing has for long been a huge concern. With the nation unable to pay back this debt, the burden builds — placing a greater and greater strain on our future. Like other countries, notably those in Latin America, Pakistan stands the risk of crumbling under its debt burden. And its dependence on the IMF leaves it, in many ways, with even less space to wriggle through. The vice-like grip of international finance organisations has, of course, been widely written about by economists around the world.

Taking up a notch, TuQ now threatens to topple govt, vows to lead 'revolution'. Note the irony.

That daily motion video of Qadri is quite funny. Interviewer asks him "So why are you a Canadian citizen?". Qadri replies "AoA!! To get documents and facilities to spread Islam ofcourse!!!"

Aaj ki taaza khabar (Latesht neuj oph the today) : Waziristan operation
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-27980938
"The militants left the towns of Mir Ali and Miranshah before the bombardment started," says Maulana Gul Ramzan.

Until last week, he was a member of the peace jirga in North Waziristan mediating talks between the army and the Pakistani Taliban.

Today, he's forced to seek refuge with a friend in Bannu. He says the operation is fuelling hatred for the army.

"What's the point of this military operation now? Who are they trying to kill? The Taliban militants, Uzbeks and Chechens? Most of them were already long gone!"

<snipsnip>

The military operation is still in its early days and an expected ground offensive is yet to begin.

So far, the military has managed to tightly control the war narrative. And it appears to enjoy broad political and public support.

But that could start to change if the fighting drags on and becomes too costly.

The military op is Pashtun oppression by Punjabi Army pure and simple.

Also hakeem-ji might be interested in this. Apparently nobody in North Waziristan has come a mile near polio vaccines ever. And 350,000 of them are streaming towards Karachi, Lahore and Peshawar.

Ever whining, ever begging......

Points of contention

The writer is a foreign policy expert based in Washington D.C.
PRIME Minister Modi’s election in India has spurred interesting conversations bet­ween Indian and Pakistani political pundits. In my interactions, most recently at a well-established track-II dialogue, three threads stand out as potential sticking points that governments in India and Pakistan should be aware of as they seek forward movement.

Indian experts are visibly irked if Modi’s past is brought up.

The Indian view is that it should be irrelevant to Pakistan’s approach towards him. Even those Indian experts who were quite openly concerned about the baggage Modi carried in the pre-election period seem converted on this point.

The Pakistani view is not entirely reconciled. No one is questioning Modi’s legitimacy, of course. Pakistanis have absolutely no business grudging his rise. But equally, his controversial past does strike a very strong emotive chord in Pakistan for obvious reasons. Rightful or not, he is not seen as just another prime minister.

The perception of Modi, especially among the Pakistani right, makes him a much easier target of a politically motivated campaign that seeks to malign the Pakistani leadership. He is undoubtedly a higher-cost option for any Pakistani leader to engage with than, say, a Manmohan Singh or even a Vajpayee was.

What will it take to achieve a paradigm shift in India-Pakistan relations?
As a Pakistani prime minister looking to fend off political rivals, then, you want Modi to go the extra mile to prove his skeptics in Pakistan wrong. Forward movement almost necessitates the Indian prime minister playing big brother and putting something out of the ordinary on the table — some tangible concession or incentive that would show his commitment.


I’d go a step further by saying that mere words won’t do. It will have to be tangible action — whether in the economic realm or something like reviving and prioritising a backchannel on Kashmir.

The disconnect is that Indian colleagues see no need for anything extraordinary. A senior Indian expert summed up what I find to be the majority sentiment: “The ball is still squarely in Pakistan’s court as far as India is concerned.”

On the Pakistani side, two issues must be taken head on.

First, Indians continue to worry about and question the merits of dealing with a Pakistani civilian government that is unable to carry the military along. Every time this is brought up in expert discussions, Pakistanis quickly react to say that this is an internal matter and that New Delhi should focus on working with whichever government occupies office in Islamabad irrespective of its strength.

The Pakistani contention is diplomatically correct of course. But just like with Modi’s past, there is a history here that you can’t ignore.

Indians have the right to remember Vajpayee’s 1999 overtures and what came thereafter — especially Modi, since his domestic constituencies are likely to be much more skeptical about any approaches to Pakistan.

If Modi is to stick his neck out, he must know that Islamabad’s end of the deal will be held up. And just like mere words won’t satisfy Pakistanis about Modi, verbal assurances from Nawaz Sharif on this count won’t mean much. The latter will have to get his military to publicly back his overtures and to signal overtly that it will not play the spoiler. The all too obvious civil-military tensions at the moment make this even more important.

Second, the ‘T’ word will be more important for this Indian government than any other.

No matter how you see Mr Modi and his relationship to his domestic political constituencies, this BJP dispensation will not be able to play softball on terrorism. The message is loud and clear no matter which segment of the Indian expert com­mu­nity you talk to. Equally, there is a consensus that Modi will be far more susceptible to a muscular response in case of any provocation linked directly or indirectly to Pakistan than other recent Indian leaders.

Simply put, if Pakistan is unable to control jihadis from creating trouble in India, a rupture in ties is all but guaranteed.

Also, the concern is not only about the future. Mr Modi’s cache will remain limited unless he can show his people that Pakistan has delivered something on the pending Mumbai trials. We can say all we want about the lacunas in our legal system — and we all know there are many — but the Indians, and for that matter the world, ain’t buying the argument that the Mumbai trials are held up because of that. Modi needs Pakistan to do something on terrorism. Otherwise, his followers, fed only one message about Pakistan and its links to terrorism, will force his hand to hold back. Delhi will still continue talking but that is about it.

I remain skeptical that either side will be able to do what it is going to take to achieve a paradigm shift in India-Pakistan relations. We’ll most likely be stuck with minor gains susceptible to quick reversals. Business as usual, that is.

Excerpt:
Whatever others may believe, my opinion is simply that it is better for India to brave a costly nuclear attack by Pakistan, and get it over with even at the cost of tens of millions of deaths, than suffer ignominy and pain day in and day out through a thousand cuts and wasted energy in unrealized potential. This is not to say that the objective can’t be achieved without a nuclear war.

If we didn't do it, India will never be able to jump up to its potential and this high jump obstacle named - Pakistan will continue keeping us bogged down to the same "3rd world developing country" status. After all, that is what has been happening for last 65 yrs.

Well its a very dark option indeed. Of course if India were to take a nuclear strike and then wipe out Pakjabis then we can expect to see Sindhis and the Bangladeshis silenced and getting back to the Dharmic fold with the Balochis getting their own nation.

Pakistan urges Kabul to refrain from taking any 'detrimental' action

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Tuesday urged the Afghan government to “refrain from taking any action that may be detrimental to peace and stability on the border” at a time when security forces are fighting local and foreign militants in the North Waziristan tribal region.The request comes a day after the Afghan foreign ministry said that it is considering a ‘fitting response‘ to the alleged killing of three soldiers and eight civilians by Pakistani troops in the eastern Kunar province.On June 23, the ministry’s spokesperson Ahmad Shakib Mustaghni had said, “Pakistani forces, wearing civilian clothes, carried out the attack” in Dangam district two days ago.Kabul had made the allegations at a time when Islamabad is seeking the neighbouring country’s help to enhance border security to stop militants from fleeing and entering the Afghan side of the border.In a press (Salwar) release today, Pakistan rejected Afghanistan’s allegations terming them as baseless and added that Pakistani forces have been attacked frequently from the Afghan side of the border.
It is with deep disappointment that we have seen the allegations by senior Afghan officials regarding Pakistani troops in civilian dress conducting attacks in areas of Kunar Province. We reject these baseless allegations,” Pakistan’s foreign ministry said.“The fact is that the Pakistan armed forces have been attacked repeatedly by terrorists operating from the Afghan territory. Our armed forces have acted only in self defence, with maximum restraint and responsibility,” the press release stated.“Pakistan is engaged in a major effort to address the scourge of terrorism. We believe the unfounded allegations from the Afghan side not only vitiate the environment but also serve to undermine the efforts for constructive engagement between the two countries,” the foreign ministry spokesperson said in the statement.“For our part, we will neither be deterred from addressing the challenges at hand, nor from building a friendly and cooperative relationship with the people of Afghanistan,” she added.

Now he won’t be able to travel abroad for at least four weeks as a five-member bench of apex court headed by Justice Nasirul Mulk adjourned the case for one month. In the start of the proceeding, Attorney General Salman Butt read out SHC’s June 12 verdict. “Why did you not apply your mind independently; gave the reasons and passed a fresh order?“ Justice Saqib asked AGP. The attorney general replied that he has already given the reasons in the instant petition.
Justice Asif Saeed Khan Khosa observed that the issue is not as to whether the impugned order was right or wrong but the real issue is as to whether the respondent should be allowed to go abroad or not. Farogh said his client’s behaviour in the past was quite good while dealing the court matters. At this Justice Khosa remarked that in the criminal cases, the presence of the accused is essential before the court, adding that in one or two cases, arrest warrants have been issued against the respondent. The judge said when Pervez Musharraf was abroad, the court repeatedly asked him to ensure his appearance before it but he did not comply the order, therefore, the court had to order for confiscation of his property. Justice Khosa questioned what is the guarantee that the respondent’s (Musharraf) behaviour will be good in future? The court observed that besides high treason, there were other cases pending against the former general in various courts of the country.
