And so the Green on Green Intra Mohammadden sectarian based violence in Karachi in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan continues with Mohammaddens of the Shia sect attracting the predatory interest of their Motorcycle borne Sunni Mohammadden co-religionists.

Repeated instances of Green on Green Intra Mohammadden sectarian based violence targeting Mohammaddens in various acts of practicing their beliefs, detracts from claims by Mohammaddens that their belief is somehow entitled to the tag “The Religion of Peace”.

OK, DT reports more exacting details on the space conceded by the Nawaz government to the Army. The Army is going to investigate the details of the leak regarding Cyril Almeida's report. The civilian government is investigated by the Army! Only in Pakistan!

First casualty - DT

An enquiry committee - with senior officers of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Military Intelligence (MI) and the Intelligence Bureau (IB) as its members - is being formed by the government to clearly apportion blame, identify interests and motives and expose all those responsible for this episode for stern action in the national interest, according to the statement.

Sources said that action was expected against more officers and public office holders, because the investigation team would have all powers to summon anyone to unearth the facts. Sources disclosed that Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah, Foreign Secretary Aizaz Chaudhry and some other officers might be interrogated as well.

They said that Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan would address an important press conference today (Sunday) and explain the whole situation in this regard.

Meanwhile, sources said that principal information office Rao Tahsin had also been removed for his post. It was further decided to put the names of Pervaiz Rasheed, Rao Tehsin and Prime Minister's Special Adviser Mohiuddin Wani on the Exit Control List (ECL).

Sources further disclosed that the government had also decided to launch a probe against Cyril Almeida after call (sic) him back from abroad. However, the other possible character of this negative episode, Federal Minister for Defence Khawaja Muhammad Asif, has reached Dubai along with his family. Khawaja Asif had said in a tweet that he was visiting Dubai to attend a marriage ceremony, and return to Pakistan today (Sunday).

The Second Casualty

Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif has sacrificed his second minister, said to be involved in a conspiracy against the military leadership.

Earlier, Mushahidullah Khan had targeted the military leadership in an interview with BBC Urdu, and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had patted his back in appreciation – off the record – and took his resignation – on the record.

The PML-N government is in its 4th year of tenure, and its ties with the military leadership are still strained. The democratic government has tried to vex the military leadership on every critical juncture. Reports had surfaced that the media cell of the Prime Minister’s Secretariat and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting had got published in an English newspaper the report of key meeting of national security 20 days ago under a well-conceived plan.

The publication of this fabricated story aimed at giving an impression that PM Nawaz Sharif was highly anxious to crush terrorism but the military leadership was not allowing him to do so.

The Interior Ministry had placed the name of journalist Cyril Almeida – who was behind the publication of the news item – on the Exit Control List (ECL), but later on his name was removed immediately as a “goodwill gesture” by the government. It also came to light that Senator Pervaiz Rasheed contacted another media group for the publication of this news item, but following its refusal, he got it published through a credible media group.

The preliminary investigation proved that then information minister Senator Pervaiz Rasheed was in contact with Cyril Almeida.

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his associates kept on trying to shelve this news item for 20 days. But the military leadership voiced grave concern over this news item in the first meeting of the corps commanders. Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif during his meeting with the PM apprised him of the military leadership’s concerns on this matter. {which simply means that the General read the riot act to Nawaz}

The interior minister had announced to bring to light the real character behind this issue within three days, but his investigations could not move ahead due to “palace intrigues”.

It is being said that the prime minister is still trying to save the real mastermind who had “leaked” this false story, and preparations are underway to sacrifice Principal Information Officer Rao Tehsin Ali Khan and Prime Minister’s Secretary Mohiuddin Wani. The military leadership wants that investigation be conducted against all these characters under the Official Secrets Act. Earlier, notes were provided to Senator Mushahidullah Khan from the PM’s Secretariat for giving an interview against the military leadership.

After the interview to BBC Urdu, the prime minister dined with Senator Mushahidullah and assured him that he would become more revered and credible than before.

However, the senator ended up saying in an interview a few days ago that the civil and military leadership were not on the same page before, and were not on the same page now. Musaddaq Malik, a spokesman for the premier, said that investigations had not ended yet. The committee constituted for this purpose would soon complete its enquiry, he said. It may be mentioned here that Cyril Almeida was being brought back to the country so that he could also be grilled.

Defence Minister Khwaja Asif, family ‘abruptly’ leave for Dubai - DT

After action against Senator Pervaiz Rasheed for his alleged involvement in the 'newsgate', the sudden departure of Defence Minister Khawaja Asif from the country created many doubts, and the rumour mill went into overdrive, especially on the social media, forcing the government and the defence minister to clarify the situation. Sources told Daily Times that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had barred Khawaja Asif from travelling to Turkey on November 2, where he was invited to attend a security conference. Due to the current political situation, the premier had also ordered him to stay in the country, but Khawaja Asif reached Dubai on Saturday to attend a marriage in the family. The defence minister's family members also accompanied him, after which rumours spread that he would not return to the country. However, Khawaja Asif said in a tweet that he would be back on Sunday.

A terrible country that must be defanged of its nuclear weapons.

…………….(Rest Snipped}…………..

Above stories of the Uniformed Jihadi’s of the Punjabi dominated Military of Islamic Republic getting the elected civilian Government to grovel for exclusively, and thereby incorrectly, pinning state policy of fomenting Mohammadden Terrorism to target neighbouring countries, leads to observe on the nature of political rule in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, thus.

Cleric from the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini may have introduced to the modern World to “Velayat-e-faqih” aka “Wilayat al-Faqih” or translated the “Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist” but the Islamic Republic of Pakistan are no slouches themselves in having introduced the concept of “Velayat-e-Fauji” aka “Wilayat al-Fauji” or translated the “Guardianship of the Army”.

Only in Pakistan, “Velayat e Fauji” aka “Wilayat al Fauji” or translated the “Guardianship of the Army", which puts the Uniformed Jihadi’s of the Punjabi dominated Military at the pinnacle of Political Power.

X Posted from the “Oppression of Minorities in Pakistan” thread.

Non-Mohammaddens learn what it is to be a Dhimmi Kaafir in the world’s first Ideological Muslim State, Sole Islamic Nuclear Weapon State and Citadel of Islam, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

Reciting Mohammadden text of Quran aka Koran from memory entitles one for extra marks towards selection for Medical College. Reciting from memory the Avesta, Bible, Guru Granth, The Vedas, Tripitaka or Torah does not entitle one for extra marks towards selection for Medical College in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Buddhists, Christists, Jews, Sikhs or Zoroastrians looking for extra marks must be good Dhimmi Kaafirs and submit by memorizing Mohammadden Texts.

Besides demonstrating that one has good power of memorization what aptitude for a Medical Degree does memorizing the Quran demonstrate?

For minority students, no marks for learning scriptures

Pak-India tension: ICC withdraws Aleem Dar of India-England Test series

NEW DELHI – In wake of recent tension between two arch rivals which also affected sports and art, the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Sunday unanimously passed the decision to withdraw elite Pakistani umpire Aleem Dar out of the India vs England upcoming series in India.
Citing security concerns pertaining to the strained ties between India and Pakistan, the ICC decided that Aleem Dar would be withdrawn from the series.

Leaving aside "security concerns", can this Paki origin umpire, deliver an objective verdict in border-line instances !

Relationship between India and Pakistan have remained tense since Indian military martyred kashmir freedom fighter Burhan Wani Shaheed which followed state terrorism in occupied valley where more than 100 Kashmiris have been killed, dozens blinded and thousands wounded.

Pakistan has failed to get one iota of sympathy for this standard propaganda line in any international fora

19 LeT militants killed in airstrikes in Afghanistan - PTI

At least 19 Lashkar-e-Taiba militants were killed and eight others wounded in the airstrikes in Dangam district of eastern Kunar province, bordering Pakistan, Afghan government said on Sunday, signalling a major crackdown on the terror group operating from across the border.

The airstrikes in Airogoi village in Dangam district last evening also destroyed one BM-1 rocket launcher and one machine gun belonging to the Pakistan-based terror group, the Afghan Ministry of Interior said in a brief statement.

"19 members of Lashkar-e-Taiba were killed and eight others were wounded," the statement said.

A major operation is underway in Dangam district to clear the area from the presence of terrorist groups, it added.

The statement, however, did not provide the details of the air strikes and was silent on whether international coalition was involved in the operation.

The action against the terror group comes as local officials in neighboring Nuristan province said in mid-2014 that LeT is attempting to establish bases in eastern parts of Afghanistan, Khaama news reported.

"The officials further added that over 100 LeT militants were deployed in Nuristan province in an attempt to set up training camps in Kamdish district," it said.

The group, one of the largest and most proficient of the Kashmir-focused militant groups, was accused of coordinating and carrying out attack on Indian consulate in western Herat province of Afghanistan in 2014, it added.

Last month, Afghanistan's Vice President Sarwar Danesh had accused Pakistan of waging an "undeclared war" on its people by plotting "merciless" terror attacks and training and financing groups like the Taliban and Haqqani network.

Speaking at the UN General Assembly, Danesh had said the "Taliban and Haqqani network are trained, equipped and financed" in Pakistan.

He had said more than 10 Pakistan-based terrorist groups were creating obstacles for state-building efforts and preventing the establishment of peace and stability in Afghanistan.

Kunar plays an important central part in the history of LeT.

Hafeez Sayeed was a co-founder, along with Abdullah Azzam, of Maktab-al-Khidmat (Office of Service) in Peshawar in circa 1979 to help the Arab jihadis. After Azzam's assassination on Nov. 24, 1989, variously attributed to Israeli Mossad or even the mujahideen faction, the Maktab became Jama'at-ud-Dawah (JuD).

In parallel, Hafeez Sayeed had started, along with Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi (known as Chachaji) , Markaz-daw’a-wal-Irshad (MDI) in Muridke in 1985. MDI was started with the twin objectives of peaceful activities (such as running charities and prosletyzation) and Islamist jihad.

In the meanwhile, in c. 1988, the brother-in-law of Zakiur-Rehman Lakhvi, a Saudi by name Abu Abdur Rehman Sareehi, had setup an organization in the Kunar province of Afghanistan to train Pakistani students from Salafi madrasas in Bajaur of FATA to fight the Soviets. By 1989, this organization began to flousrish and would eventually become the foot soldiers known as LeT.

In 1990, LeT was launched officially by MDI as its militant wing with Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi as its commander while Prof. Hafeez Sayeed remained in overall charge of the organization.

LeT continues to run the training camp in Kunar province of Afghanistan where there is a significant Ahl-e-Hadees community, the same ideology that LeT believes in.

British tourist among five killed in sectarian attack on Shia Muslims in Karachi
Exclusive: Naiyyar Mehdi Zaidi, from London, and two of his brothers were shot and killed when two gunmen opened fire at a Shia Muslim gathering

Samuel Osborne
Naiyyar Mehdi Zaidi, 60, from London, was shot and killed with two of his brothers when gunmen opened fire at a Shia Muslim gathering in Karachi, Pakistan, on 29 October, 2016 Qaisra Khan
A British tourist has been killed in a sectarian attack on a Shia Muslim gathering in Pakistan's largest city of Karachi, The Independent has learned.

Naiyyar Mehdi Zaidi, 60, from London, and two of his brothers were shot and killed when two gunmen on a motorcycle opened fire at a Shia Muslim gathering in the Nazimabad suburb.

Another man and a woman were also killed and six other people injured in the attack.
Mr Zaidi's daughter-in-law Qaisra Khan told The Independent the group was stood outside a Shia ladies prayer meeting when gunmen drove past and tried to gain entry to where the women had gathered.

After guards closed the gates to prevent the gunmen from entering, they reportedly opened fire on the men.

Ms Khan said those killed included her father-in-law Mr Zaidi, a UK citizen, Nasir Abbas Zaidi, 45, a US citizen visiting from Seattle, and Baqir Abbas Zaidi, 40, a third brother from Karachi.

Two of Mr Zaidi's other brothers were also severely injured in the attack but Ms Khan has been told they are now in a stable condition.

"Two attackers on a motorbike opened indiscriminate fire on the participants coming for the gathering," senior police official Tayyab Muqaddas Haider told AFP. The attackers fled the scene after the assault, he added.

Ms Khan, who is a Sunni Muslim, said the prayer meeting had been specifically targeted in a sectarian attack.
"I think they're just targeting every minority gathering," she said. "It's indiscriminate. It's a Shia gathering and therefore it was targeted."

Paramilitary soldiers gather at the site attack in Karachi, Pakistan, Saturday, 29 October, 2016 (AP)
The Sunni militant organisation Lashkar-i-Jhangvi al-Alami claimed responsibility for the attack.

“A group of outlawed Lashkar-i-Jhangvi has been active in the city and the threat will persist until their arrest,” Karachi police chief Mushtaq Mahar said.

Mr Zaidi had travelled to Karachi to prepare for another of his son's wedding next summer. He was due to return to the UK on 7 November.

Ms Khan described her father-in-law, who worked at Habib Bank AG Zurich before retiring around a year ago, as "peaceful, highly intelligent and well loved in the community".

"He always had advice for people and support. He was full of compassion and love for everyone around him. At the moment I know there are people around the world thinking about him."

She said his brothers were similar, adding that "they were a very open minded, tolerant family".

Naiyyar Mehdi Zaidi (left), 60, from London, was killed along with his brother Nasir Abbas Zaidi, 45, from Seattle, USA, in Karachi, Pakistan, on 29 October, 2016 (Qaisra Khan)
She said she hoped reports of the attack would draw attention to sectarian killings. "I often saw these reports and you never think it will happen to you. It's made me realise how destructive these kind of attacks are and how they must stop."

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office said they were not yet aware of the death of Mr Zaidi. FCO advice for tourists visiting Pakistan warns there is a high threat from terrorism, kidnap and sectarian attack throughout the country.

Sectarian violence, in particular by Sunni hardliners against Shia Muslims — who make up roughly 20 per cent of Pakistan's 200 million people — has claimed thousands of lives in the country over the last decade.

This just in: Afghanistan Hafiz Saeed was killed in a large Miltry operation?

Afghanistan is a big news that is coming from the side. Afghanistan after the surgical strike by India on militants Khhr Brpana Paki started. Please tell the Afghan major action against Lashkar-e-Taybba said. At least 19 terrorists were killed in this operation, and 8 of his badly injured. There are reports of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Dngam district of eastern Kunar province, according to the composition Menatnki hectic air strikes killed 19 militants and eight badly injured. Hafiz was also an anonymous source says some of these Bisrkari agency has not confirmed.

But the Afghan government has launched a major war against Lashkar-e-Taybba which Hafiz Saeed is very difficult to avoid. India was already against the terrorist organization has launched a war against Afghanistan and the US also has taken a tough stand against him.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, the US government once again lambasted Pakistan has said, it is save what and why the Mumbai attack culprits. US State Department spokesman John Kirby said the US terrorist Hafiz Saeed. According to the US confidence in Pakistan then Pakistan except excuses will take stern action against Saeed and his organization LeT.

John Kirby said earlier, it is nothing to do for the US what it says and what it claims is a terrorist Hafiz. US ever terrorist threats will neither fear nor any kind of response. The US Administration is not that straightforward, it will be clear that the action against Hafiz Saeed, Pakistan wants to curb terrorism. Please tell the US has already notify terrorist Hafiz Saeed and the Lashkar and put blacklisted and then US $ 10 million bounty on Saeed's head is declared

Lashkar attack on Afghanistan in their country through IS is accused. Afghanistan is sad and the big action of LeT and Hafiz wants. Afghanistan is clear from the actions taken by this blatant that they directly touch the war is let.

The Chinese ubiquity

No matter where one looks in Pakistan China is engaged, and that engagement is increasing month-on-month. The latest area of acquisition by the Chinese is KES power, the conglomerate that has been providing electricity — mostly at a considerable profit — to Karachi for several years. The deal was done in Shanghai a week ago but has only just been announced and KES is to divest itself of K-Electric which is the country’s largest and only vertically integrated power utility/supplier. The deal was made between the Abraaj Group and Shanghai Electric Power (SEP) which is a state owned operation controlled by the Chinese State Power Investment Corporation. It is a deal in line with other power acquisitions by the Chinese around the world — they are to also build the next generation of nuclear power station in the UK under a deal approved by the British government on September 15th 2016.

The Abraaj group has been in the sector since 2009, when it bought the controlling stake of the Karachi utility when it was deep in crisis. Since then it has made a turnaround and the plan was to exit at the five-year point but there were regulatory difficulties as well as problems with finding a buyer. The Chinese have bought into an entity that in March this year turned a net profit of Rs22.8 billion and is in line with their expansion in Pakistan, in particular the western arm of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor that reaches northwards to Tashkurgan and beyond into Central Asia.

There are two government-appointed directors on the company board and one of them has expressed concern over the lack of transparency surrounding the deal, a concern we echo. There has been no board meeting to discuss the deal, and it is unknown whether incentives such as the subsidy on tarrif which will be of considerable interest to consumers industrial and commercial, is going to continue or not. Concerns aside, the deal is now done and the SEC is saying that it will work with Abraaj to ‘transform K-Electric into one of the best companies in Pakistan.’ Whether it is a good deal for the consumer remains to be seen.
