Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan - Feb 21, 2013

Washington: Pakistan has expelled the Islamabad bureau chief for The New York Times on the eve of national elections, according to the influential US daily. The Times has strongly protested the orders of Pakistan's Interior Ministry and is seeking his reinstatement of Declan Walsh, 39, a veteran correspondent who has lived and worked in Pakistan for nine years, most of it for The Guardian newspaper of Britain, the newspaper said on Friday.

The ministry did not give any detailed explanation for the expulsion order, which was delivered by police officers in the form of a two-sentence letter to Walsh, at 12:30 am (local time) on Thursday at his home, it said. "It is informed that your visa is hereby cancelled in view of your undesirable activities," the order stated. "You are therefore advised to leave the country within 72 hours."

Walsh was hired by The Times in January 2012 and has written extensively about the country's violent political convulsions, Islamist insurgency and sometimes tense relations with the United States, the newspaper said. Jill Abramson, the newspaper's executive editor, expressed concern about the order in a letter of protest to Pakistan's interior minister, Malik Muhammad Habib Khan, describing Walsh as a "reporter of integrity who has at all times offered balanced, nuanced and factual reporting on Pakistan."

The ministry did not give any detailed explanation for the expulsion order, which was delivered by police officers.
Asking the minister to reinstate Walsh's visa, she wrote, the accusation of undesirable activities "is vague and unsupported, and Mr Walsh has received no further explanation of any alleged wrongdoing."

The timing of the order was also a surprise, she wrote, coming as Pakistan is holding national elections that are regarded as an important democratic milestone. "The expulsion of an established journalist, on the day of the voting, contradicts that impression," Abramson wrote.

11:49 AM Blast and firing heard in Bannu
11:00 AM Blast on Peshawar’s Charsadda road injures five
10:27 AM Bomb blast kills 11 in Karachi’s Quaidabad
10:22 AM Blast near polling station in Karachi’s Quaidabad kills four

Guys I am pretty disappointed. So far its no different than a typical normal day in bakistan

Lets hope that talibs bring the score to some respectable level after the lunch break.

True... It seems competence levels are low across the board, even among the Talibs, when it comes to scoring centuries. Doesn't say much about their batting prowess, and these are the monkeys who want to cross the border in their millions??? Laughable. Show your mettle fools.

Great! The winners and losers in the Paki elections will be so busy blowing themselves up,that hopefully we will see a lesser qty. of cross-border terror.One cannot rule out the paki army keeping terror levels high though,as its hatred of everything Indian is its raison d'etre.

The score today only highlights that the violence is a tap, that IS and CAN BE controlled. State or Non-State actors notwithstanding. It is amazing that a media that does not think twice about giving publicity to CTs (Batla House, 26/11, etc.), does not have the courage/integrity to ask such questions about the violence creation apparatus in Pakistan.

One feels sorry for the ordinary Paki citizen,dodging bomb blasts et al,,in the hope that this election will throw up a new Paki political scenario-for the good of the people.Sadly,fat chance.Fat chance too of any Indian who has high hopes of a "new beginning" from the winner of this election.It will be business as usual from Pak.The danger will be if Imran wins as he is the wests favourite and will use the western media for propaganda to his advantage vis-a-vis India.

Take for instance what that paragon of supposed cricketing virtue,Imran Khan and his party of "justice" really represent.Imran,not known for playing the marital game with a straight bat,frankly was and is a "cheat" both on and off the field.Decades ago,when he was in his cricketing prime,his cunning cheating ways and my insistence that he was just that,lost me a few girl friends who were enamoured of his sexiness. In his recent campaign,this is what he said in essence on an election platform:

"You know that I defeated India in India despite their umpires .I defeated England in England despite their umpires and I will defeat all my enemies with just one ball!"

Those of us who remember the first series with Pak,after aeons,when our great spinners were at the top,how we suffered the cheating Paki umpires .In India when Pak visited us,the immortal Sunil Gavaskar in his last test,"walked" when on 96 without even waiting for the umpire's verdict in the last test which Pak won by a whisker! That is the difference.Watching that match and Gavaskar's honesty and how he played with a "straight bat" to his last ball is unforgettable,and instances like that makes one proud to be an Indian.

Profile of a cheat,Imran Khan.Now we know how he got his wickets and how he will run Pak if he wins!

Cricket: Imran admits cheating: Glenn Moore on the book throwing light on a touchy subject

THE immediate legacy of Imran Khan's admission that he tampered with the ball to the extent of using a bottle top will be a further blighting of his Pakistan Test successors, Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis. They may well be the only individual casualties, though cricket's reputation and Anglo-Pakistani relations will hardly be enhanced.

1 Though Imran, in a forthcoming biography, does not appear to have incriminated the pair, they are so closely associated with him - their joint biography was sub-titled 'Imran's Inheritors' - that his revelations can only revive the furore created by Allan Lamb's allegations against them in 1992.

Then he accused the pair of tampering with the ball during the summer series with England. With the Test and County Cricket Board refusing to release pertinent evidence and a High Court case brought by the former Pakistan bowler Sarfraz Nawaz dropped in mid-trial, the allegations went untested.

While Lamb was fined heavily, Imran, retired and a figure of near-mythical status in his own country, is effectively beyond sanction. Neither are the revelations likely to lead to censure against Pakistan, for it is not alleged that his actions were condoned by the country's cricket authorities.

Indeed, the most startling admission so far released concerns a county match between Sussex and Hampshire in 1991. 'The ball was not deviating at all,' Imran is quoted as saying. 'So I got the 12th man to bring on a bottle top and it started to move around a lot. I occasionally scratched the side (of the ball) and lifted the seam.'

This contravenes Law 42.4 (lifting the seam) and 42.5 (changing condition of the ball) but, quite clearly, Imran was not the only Sussex player aware of the illegality of his own actions.

Imran, who took 362 Test wickets, also admits to lifting the seam, a practice he alleges - and with some justification - is rife in England. So, too, is treating the ball with an illegal substance such as lanolin or Vaseline to get extra swing. What, he argues, is the difference?

He has a point, though whether his admission is to relieve the burden of guilt, to expose the hypocrisy surrounding the subject, or to sell a few more books is a moot point. But what now for the International Cricket Council?

Retrospective action is fraught with difficulty and possibly pointless. Instead, the ICC must decide whether it is serious about ending tampering and thus hammer the first culprit they find or, given the remorseless advance in batting equipment, allow bowlers some leeway - if not with bottle tops, at least with their hands.

Imran Khan fathered illegitimate child, rules California court

A Los Angeles court ruled that cricket hero-turned-politician Imran Khan was the legal father of a four-year-old illegitimate southern California girl.

"Imran Khan is the father of the child," superior court commissioner Anthony Jones said on August 13, after a brief hearing.

Khan, who had refused to co-operate by taking a blood test for the genetic determination of paternity, did not show up for the proceedings. His attorneys also failed to appear, so a default judgement was entered.

Khan led Pakistan to a World Cup triumph in 1992. Earlier this year, he failed in his bid to become prime minister of Pakistan.

"We believe the complaint, as originally filed, was ill-motivated," said Khan's New York attorney, Bernard Clair. "We believe the mother may have been the unwitting tool of my client's opponents."

Sita White, who lives in Beverly Hills, had a relationship with Khan in 1987-88 and, when they met again in Los Angeles on October 2, 1991, she told him she wanted to have his baby, her attorney Gloria Allred said.

"We did not request child support," Allred said. "We hope that, one day, he will open his heart to his little daughter and give her the love, respect and support every little girl deserves.

"White got pregnant and Khan told her he hoped it was a boy. When he learnt the baby would be a girl, Khan expressed disappointment and said the child would not be able to play cricket. He urged White to have an abortion, but she refused," Allred said.

Tyrian Jade was born on June 15, 1992, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Since her birth, Khan has neither seen nor spoken to the child although he and White have spoken periodically during that period," said Allred. "He never paid any child support."

During his quest to become prime minister, Khan denied having fathered an illegitimate child, which could have made him ineligible to become prime minister.

"He categorically denies the paternity of this child," Clair said. "We think to use the child as a pawn in such a publicity circus demonstrates, to us at least, that the mother has other reasons for pursuing paternity."

Khan, 42, said he dated and frequented night clubs during his days as a cricketer and, before that, as a student at Oxford University. But, since retiring from sports in 1992, he said he has transformed himself into a devout Muslim.

He even vowed to marry a woman who observed purdah (life behind the veil). But, in 1995, he married British heiress Jemima Goldsmith. His political opponents have attacked Jemima, the daughter of the late English billionaire, Sir James Goldsmith, for her Jewish heritage. Khan says, though his wife's ancestors were Jewish, she was Protestant and had converted to Islam to marry him.

The "I" in PTI stands for Immy. Its all about him and his cricketing similies. Just like the founder of that nation, PTI is a one man democracy. Hate to compare that dimwit with an Indian politician on a paki thread, but when he talks (and boy, does he like to talk - mostly about himself), he reminds me of Mayawati.

A Hindu hell on earth

They had waited for years. So when the opportunity came they took it, even if it meant leaving behind friends and neighbours, brothers and husbands. Even a three-day-old baby boy. Seven weeks ago, almost 500 Hindus from Pakistan crossed into India on the pretence of visiting a religious festival. In reality, they had come to escape religious persecution and poverty. Some said they would rather commit suicide than go back.

“Pakistan is worse than hell for Hindus,” said one of those who managed to flee, Laxman Das, a fruit trader from Hyderabad.

Though Pakistan was established as a state for Muslims, the original vision of its founder, Mohammad Ali Jinnah, was of a place of tolerance and inclusion.

Maninder Singh (Indian spinner) has said in a TV interview that Imran was allowed to take the ball with him during lunch and tea breaks by Paki umpires during 1983 series for doctoring. Pakis were far ahead of the curve in cheating.
Maninder in the same interview says when he appealed for a plumb lbw against Miandad, the paki umpire told him "chal chal tujhe malum hai lbw nahin milega, jake wapas bowling daal".
The current crop of cheaters and ball throwers like Ajmal and Akhtar, and match fixers and cocaine addicts like Asif are only a drop in this dirty pond called Pakiness.

Defying threats of violence, Pakistanis streamed to the polls Saturday for a historic vote pitting a former cricket star against a two-time prime minister and an unpopular incumbent. But militant attacks that killed 22 people underlined the risks many people took just casting their ballots.

when put of power, badmaash made some business like friendship proposals to India and reducing the enimity.

Badmash says he wants to built a bullet train from Karachi to Peshawar (Indus to Oxus), so fast that one can pray Fajr in Karachi and then Asr in Peshawar - one only has to pray Zuhr on the train. IMHO it could be joint Pakiban-China project - China will supply train and Pakiban will phyrr bullets.
