Amidst heart rending news, mind boggling protests and curiosity for the fate of the new PM, it is quite pleasant to know that Kareena Kapoor will embrace Islam after getting married to Saif Ali Khan. The Islamic world will be enlightened, with better aesthetics and the hope of seeing charming faces protesting against US “aggression” instead of the mechanically motivated Mullahs, inadvertently charged unemployed youth and frantically ignited lawyers. Not that the Muslim Ummah is devoid of charm, it is just hidden in the black robe which once put on, serves as a great leveler like death for all women (whether charming or plain). Women lose their conspicuous characteristics in the robe; tBy the way Kareena’s conversion reminds me of the U-Turn PPP took on writing the wretched letter that paved the way for Mr. Zardari to complete the longest period in office as the head of a democratically elected government

PESHAWAR: The Pakistani Taliban say they are granting an “amnesty” to a Cabinet minister who is offering a $100,000 reward to anyone who kills the American maker of an anti-Islam film sparking deadly riots in the Muslim world.

Pakistani Taliban spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan told reporters on Wednesday that the minister’s views represent the true spirit of Islam. Consequently, the militants have removed him from their hit list.

KARACHI: LinkedIn, an international professional networking platform, is planning to establish its offices in Pakistan, Board of Investment (BOI) Chairman Saleem H Mandviwalla revealed here on Monday.
Mandviwalla said that the move would help LinkedIn promote Pakistan on its widely-used website. He said he hoped that LinkedIn’s offices would be operational in Pakistan either by the end of this year, or by the beginning of next year. This will lead to the setting up of LinkedIn’s proper operations in Pakistan, he said.
The BOI chief believed that the initial investment by the company would be to the tune of $10 million, and that LinkedIn is focusing on Pakistan as one of its important markets. “This is of great interest to us,” Mandviwalla added.

KARACHI: International professional social networking website – LinkedIn – denied on Wednesday that it was planning open a local office in Pakistan.
LinkedIn refuted the claims of a story filed by the state-owned wire service Associated Press of Pakistan (APP), which quoted the Board of Investment (BOI) Chairman Saleem Mandviwalla saying that Linkedin was planning to establish its offices in Pakistan and invest $10 million by the end of 2012 or the beginning of 2013.
“While we are exploring some commercial opportunities in Pakistan, we currently have no plans to open a local office,” LinkedIn spokesperson Darain Faraz told The Express Tribune.
While the firm that handles global public relations activities for the professional networking website, Edelman also denied the head of the BOI’s claims, saying that Linkedin’s plans are stated inaccurately in the APP story.
However, Mandviwalla reaffirmed his earlier statement about the arrival of LinkedIn in Pakistan. “I strongly disagree with the view that LinkedIn is not going to establish its offices in Pakistan,” Mandviwalla said while speaking to The Express Tribune.

“Maybe the LinkedIn management did not want to make the news public as yet. But it does not mean it is not coming to Pakistan,” he added.

Mandviwalla also claimed that LinkedIn had issued an official statement announcing its plan to open its office in Pakistan. However, the section titled ‘Press releases’ on the LinkedIn website showed no such statement.
In a subsequent SMS, Mandviwalla informed The Express Tribune that the said LinkedIn statement was issued directly to newspapers, and not through the BOI. However, he later said it was possible that LinkedIn might not have issued the statement at all.
LinkedIn has 1.3 million members in Pakistan and 175 million members worldwide.

Reports say, “the secret affair between Bilawal Bhutto and Hina Rabbani Khar came to the knowledge of Asif Ali Zardari, when the duo was caught in compromised position inside the official residence of the President.”

Anujan wrote:Putin's visit was supposed to co-incide with Pakis handing Iran-Pakistan pipeline contract to Gazprom without bidding.

Pakis probably thought they could pull a fast one on the Russians just like how they do with India -- Announce big deals before visit, get visit to happen, then somehow backtrack.

I feel the visit cancellation has a lot to do with Paki backpedalling on whatever deals they said they could offer the Russians.

Whatever that is, this incident is very reminiscent of a similar proposed visit in 1949/1950 by Liaquat Ali Khan to the FSU only to withdraw it and visit the US instead. It was used as a pressure tactic against the US, the first of the many to follow until today, by a Pakistan which was unhappy with the Indian PM's visit taking precedence over the Pakistani PM's visit to Washington.

Secretary Livestock Sindh Abid Ali Shah has said that disposing of about 21,268 diseased Australian sheep imported from Bahrain has been initiated and these would be disposed of in an Islamic way instead of administrating injection to them, Geo News reported.

Like a giant mass of wool, bloodied and filthy, they lay in trenches – slit open, stabbed or clubbed to death, while many still wriggled with some life left in them, soon to be buried alive...several half-alive sheep were taken out of the trenches the next morning. They were slaughtered or clubbed with heavy wooden sticks and thrown back into the trenches again.

Dr Shaukat Hameed Khan, Executive Director of Society for the Promotion of Engineering Sciences and Technology in Pakistan (Soprest), has said that Pakistan requires about $230 billion to meet its increasing energy requirements in the next two decades.

Dr Shaukat was speaking in a one-day seminar on “Energy Issues in Pakistan” here in Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology on Wednesday. Jehangir Bashar, Rector of GIK Institute graced the occasion.

The faculty members, engineers, graduate and undergraduate students and administrative officers attended the seminar.

KARACHI: Five more people lost their lives in the ongoing violence in the metropolis, Geo News reported Thursday.
According to the police, unknown gunmen killed a man in Orangi Town and another in Ittehad Town area of Baldia.
A man was also shot dead near Ayesha Manzil while another was killed in Bufferzone.
Another body was recovered from a plot in Defence phase 6 on Thursday morning.
It is pertinent to mention that fourteen people including activists of political and religious parties, were killed in different parts of the metropolis on Wednesday.

There was speculation that Putin’s decision to cancel his visit could be linked to Pakistan’s reluctance to award the work of building its section of the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline to Russian energy giant Gazprom.

The chief of the Russian firm had recently visited Pakistan and made presentations to the Foreign Ministry and other departments.

However, Gazprom had wanted the project to be awarded to it without bidding, something that Pakistan is reluctant to do.

Russia had made a proposal in this regard when Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar visited Russia earlier this year.

Pakistani officials have said such a step would violate the rules of the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority.

A consortium headed by the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China has already refused to provide financial advisory services for the Iran-Pakistan project, mainly because of US opposition.
