Pakistan match-fixing claims: PCB chairman insists accused trio could play in ODIs
The Pakistan Cricket Board appeared to be on collision course with the English authorities and the International Cricket Council on Wednesday night after the PCB chairman indicated that three players implicated in spot-fixing allegations could be selected for the forthcoming Twenty20 and one-day series.

Thats a typical paki H&D gimmick. Their actions and words are always 180 degrees apart. That way they can appease both segments of people the words appease the domestic jihadis and actions appease the rest of the world. Stay assured PCB will not pick these thugs for next games in England.

Five Ways You Can Help Pakistan (and the Rest of Us)

I posted comments below for the author

Dear Sarah,

Pakistan is the 7th declared nuclear power. They manufacture battle tanks (Al Khalid) recently they joined select group of countries that manufacture fighter aircrafts (JF 17 Thunder). They have a standing army of 500,000 and paramilitary of around the same number. They pursure taliban and other jihadi groups in order to acheive strategic depth in Afganistan. They posses german & french made submarines, airplanes, war ships and North Korean / Chinese procured ballastic missles. In short if they reduce their military budget relative to their economic size they need not beg the world for AID.

Balochistan: Amnesty official - Violations Belong Alongside Those In Iraq, Afghanistan And Gaza

Human rights violations by Pakistan remain some of the world’s worst and are the ‘least reported’ says official.

n addition to Gaza, there are many occupied territories, including Balochistan which is under Pakistani occupation, Iraq and Afghanistan which are under U.S. occupation, and Goering was asked if there is a formula to say which place is the worst in terms of human rights violations.

Though the issues of Iraq, Afghanistan and Gaza are internationally well-known, the struggle in Balochistan is the least reported in the Western world.

Pakistan is allegedly engaged in worst forms of human rights violations including extrajudicial killings, arbitrary arrests and detentions, alleged use of chemical weapons, torture, massive human displacements, firing on peaceful demonstrations and enforced disappearances in Texas-sized Balochistan. Their occupied homeland was also used for nuclear tests, Baloch nationalists bitterly complain.

However, Islamabad views westerners in Balochistan with grave suspicions and is presently opposing the setting up of consulates of the United States and United Kingdom in capital Quetta as a “security risk.”

Curt Goering, who is senior deputy executive director of Amnesty International USA (AIUSA), and currently works at the organization’s national section headquarters in New York City, said this at an Iftar gathering organized by the Amnesty International at its Washington DC headquarters Tuesday.

PS:"Compromise,compromise...",Paki perfidy is getting away yet again just as it did after 26/11.

Accused Pakistan players out of the tour

Captain Salman Butt and pace bowlers Mohammad Aamer and Mohammad Asif will play no further part in the series, which includes two Twenty20s and five one-dayers.

Pakistan's team manager, Yawar Saeed, played down the removal of the three players, saying they have not been suspended.

Pakistan officials had resisted pressure to drop the trio until yesterday, when it became clear neither the ICC nor the England and Wales Cricket Board would stand for their participation.

In Melbourne yesterday, former Australian player Shane Warne said life bans should be given to players found guilty of involvement in betting scams.

'If it's fixed by players, they should be banned for life. Anyone who's involved should be thrown out. The ICC have to flex their muscles and just go after Pakistan.''

Lucky if this drug junkie was an sdre he would have had life bans and not a world class spinner.

Pak U-turn: Can’t give voice samples of 26/11 plotters

Absolutely nothing surprising for at least BRfites. This is what Rehman Malik saheb said before P.Chidambaram's meeting in Islamabad: India will not be disappointed this time. GoI officials said, "We are expecting some credible action by Pakistan against the LeT operatives and handlers before the Foreign Minister's visit". Nothing like that happened. For his part, P.Chidambaram himself exuded great confidence about getting voice samples. This is what he said about the meeting: "I remain positive that something good will come out of that meeting".
Nothing positive and nothing good happened either before S.M.Krishna's visit, as promised by Pakistan. Nothing positive has happened since then as well. No 'credible action' was taken against LeT operatives and handlers. We have all forgotten the words spoken by Rehman Malik & P.Chidambaram and Indians have been taken to the cleaners yet again by the Pakistanis.

This is what this SDRE posted here after the Rehman Malik-Chidambaram meeting

The question here is what if there is no 'credible action' before Krishna's July visit ? Will the visit be cancelled ? And, what is the agreed definition between PC & Malik of a 'credible action'. Let's remember that Pakistan handles the mighty US of A with effortless ease when it comes to taking incremental action against AQAM just at the nick of time. A dhimmi India with absolutely no leverage against Pakistan is no match.

Flood-hit Pakistanis Balochis, Afghans may cross to Iran-UNHCR

Dismal conditions in flood-hit areas in southwest Pakistan(baluchistan) could force thousands of Pakistanis and Afghan refugees to cross the border into Iran, the U.N. refugee agency warned on Thursday.

Baluchistan province was the first to be hit by the country's worst floods,(wasn't it north west pakistan ) initially displaced some 200,000 people. But the region has been largely ignored after more menacing waters raged in other parts of Pakistan.
Separatist nationalist militants have waged a low-scale insurgency for decades in Baluchistan, Pakistan's biggest but poorest province.

The number of displaced people there is close to one million, and lack of assistance could make them head to neighbouring Iran, said Mengesha Kebede, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) representative in Pakistan.
"This has not happened yet ... but definitely everybody is aware of significant movement that is taking place," Kebede said, adding contingency plans there were underway.

Starting over a month ago, floods have killed at least 1,600 people, affected more than 18 million and inflicted nearly $43 billion worth of damage to infrastructure and agriculture, the mainstay of the economy.

madrassa maths on display.

Hundreds of people have been killed in assassinations and bomb attacks in Baluchistan in recent years but there has been a relative lull in the thinly populated province of mountains and deserts in recent months.
Kebede called for scaled up relief activity in Baluchistan to prevent a major humanitarian disaster there.
"I feel it would be tragic if because of the lack of assistance, Pakistanis, Afghan refugees were to cross the border, seeking help and assistance in Iran," he said. "We need to ensure that Baluchistan is not forgotten."

hope something is done for balochis and help them form a separate nation.

Pakistan is nursing an injured national pride

The questioning of eight senior Pakistan military officers as terrorist suspects as they arrived in the United States has all the makings of a good gag.

Given the importance of military ties between the United States and Pakistan in the fight against terrorism, the officers’ treatment is beyond a joke, and their exasperation entirely understandable.

There is no love lost between the 2 nations. simply beyond normal comprehension how uncle gives $$$$ to sh*ith*le depsite not trusting their military. In other words bakis have mucked up their lives with terrorism that even defence personnel are not immune to persecution. really a shame on bakis

Why is paki a rentier state or a used condom( name it whatever you want)

Pakistan is one of only two states I can think of which wages a war on its own people to meet the demands of third party countries.

which is the other country- cannot think of afghanisthan/Iraq- occupied ones. china and Iran independently kill their own people.

It allows American Predator drones to strike at Pakistani militant groups Islamabad believes can only be pacified through political dialogue

It has turned its highways from Karachi to the Khyber Pass into a supply route for NATO troops in Afghanistan, and has paid a high price for it.

The high price is Suicide bombers and fidayeen commando gunmen have struck every major city in the country including the training bases of its elite police and the headquarters of the Army itself.

The incident tells us a lot about the real nature of the relationship between Pakistan and the United States.

what is it

1) they were traveling without protocol reveals a lack of respect, 2) compounded by the time it took for the authorities to realise their error and apologise. 3) The reaction of the anxious passenger who heard a piece of a conversation and let terror get the better of her reveals the psychological frailty of the American public and their default panic in the face of a “Pakistani”.

The main reason is the terror unleashed on India is burning them like hell. A matchlight if not doused will grow big and destroy everything in its path. Suffer suffer till you burn in hell.

What makes a paki military officer distinct (Pak lukers please read the excellent book-PAKISTAN-FAILED STATE: an ebook that owes its origin and existence to BRF written by our BRF gurus.)

Their ramrod posture, crisply ironed polo T shirts, or blazers and ties mark them out as military men, and often Sandhurst at that.
They were staying in the adjoining cottage, drinking whisky and firing Kalashnikovs at the empties in the garden. They were, despite their seniors’ propensity to overthrow elected governments, great fun.
They spoke perfect English in clipped accents and spoke about their polo triumphs while their regimental bagpipe band entertained them.

( whenever I read the statement I hear the voice of shivji)


Intertwining of human impact and the policies of govts--

The airport incident also reveals a disconnect in the battle for hearts and minds. America has given vast sums for flood relief in Pakistan and hopes it is seen as an act of friendship. But in incidents like these, the treatment suffered by individuals has, I think, a greater impact.
They heighten suspicions that acts of military and humanitarian generosity are transactional and that the real feelings of Americans are revealed in humiliating incidents at airports.

Can british poodle be left behind

Britain is in similar territory. David Cameron’s claim that Pakistan supports terrorist attacks in neighbouring countries during his recent trip to its old enemy India reinforced the views of those in Pakistan who say “they need us, but don’t like us, and are not our true friends.” Pakistan charsaunama- "I am a used condom" say it 400 times --a national song)
This was seen last month when senior Pakistan intelligence officers pulled out of a trip to Britain, and urged President Zardari to follow suit, in protest at Mr Cameron’s comments. There was further evidence of this suspicion and resentment when Pakistan declined British military aid – logistics support and medical assistance – for flood victims.

the author concludes which I agree if followed to a T

Our relationship with Pakistan is complicated. Suspicion of President Zardari’s governance is widespread, Pakistan is wary of attacking some Taliban factions with whom it has had close ties. It doesn’t believe it can fight all the militant groups we urge it to attack at the same time without disastrous consequences.
I’m not arguing for naivety or blind faith, but simple respect and human courtesy would be more cost-effective in our battle for hearts and minds in Pakistan than any amount of military aid. say no to soolahs , but yes to love-- more condoms please (made in sdre land onlee ) we want to be careful

I loved the article for it is a definitely good so true.

Red Cross official says suspicion, anger causing problems in Pakistan flood aid effort

Desperate Pakistani flood victims have at times turned aggressive toward relief workers, hampering the already-struggling aid effort in the country, a top official with the international Red Cross said Thursday.

aid workers have had to abandon distribution of relief goods twice in the past eight days after being confronted by angry mobs.

He told of a "sense of urgency, and a sense of anxiety and disarray" among flood victims that was partly caused by resentment whipped up by anti-Western militants and negative media reports.

Still, the neutral group, which operates in disaster and conflict zones around the world, has so far stayed away from some regions controlled by anti-government militants because of concerns about staff safety.1) Either these areas are not under TSPA control or the TSPA will not provide security to the aid workers.2) will show bakis perfidy
"There are huge parts of areas where we would like to work, where we cannot go precisely because these safety requirements are not met," he said.

As a Pakistani I am just so sick of all this hate, murder, mass incompetence and self denial. What the hell is wrong with us? ' Islam is peace ' slogan has become a joke. Majority muslims think that being moderate = quietly getting on with life. Well it doesnt. Our silence, means we are complicit with those who not only murder in our own country but have changed this entire world for the worse. WAKE UP and SPEAK UP. Stop pointing fingers at America, Jews, Indians and the tooth fairy. We all live on this earth we have to put humanity first above everything else.
I see apathy and hatred for us and I cant even blame people. I have been trying to help the flood victims and the world is just sick of us and doesnt want to know. I see pictures of starving children standing in
endless lines waiting to be fed not having a clue about the hatred and mistrust that people have for them and their country. And I feel I am reponsible as much as the Taliban/corrupt officials/suicide bombers. Those of us that have been blessed with education/opportunity should have done more instead of getting on with our selfish lives.
I will speak up against Wahabism till my dying day, it is an insidious petrol funded hateful ideology that has destroyed Pakistan and we let it. When we allow terror to smother our compassion we let it win. Despite Pakistan being a complete mess I will try my best to help the innocent because my apathy is a victory for evil nut cases.
My sincere condolences to the Shia community for their terrible loss due to this dispicable act. To the majority of Pakistanis I have this to say: If we do not speak up for others then do not expect anyone to give a @#$% about us. All life is precious and valuable that should be our guiding principal.

Haiti Vs. Pakistan=Haiti of South Asia.
http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/t ... istan.html

[T]here’s at least one huge exogenous difference between the U.S.’s ability to help Haiti and Pakistan: sovereignty. In Haiti, the beleaguered and overwhelmed government of Rene Preval had no problem accepting help from its nearby American neighbor. Not so in Pakistan.
In Haiti, “We took over the landing strips. We took over completely the provision of assistance. There was not even a fig leaf of Haitian sovereignty,” observes Christine Fair, a South Asia expert at Georgetown University who just returned to D.C. from three months in Afghanistan and Pakistan. “The Pakistani military in particular is walking a very thin line. They do not want to take responsibility for this fiasco, nor be seen as overridden by American demands and further dependent on a country that a lot of people hate.”

A question to the gurus, especially those who keep a very good archive of things.
After one of the terror attacks in India (I think it was 2006 Mumbai train blasts) NPR's Philip Reeves (iirc) called the ba$tard mahesh bhatt to interview (i think it was on 'all things considered' iirc) who claimed that we Indians 'deserved' it. If anybody has this segment on the archive or if somebody can corroborate (which terror attack and which npr segment - because I am damn certain that I heard this bilge on NPR from bhatt after one of the terror attacks) please post urgently. There is a very poignantly nasty letter that needs to be written to NPR and I need this info asap.

thanks and advance, CRS, SS, RD, R man, Shiv etc. or whoever is the angel who remembers this and responds.

CRS garu, this is what I plan to write to NPR:

NPR’s treatment of terror attacks smacks of double standards

On Thursday Sept 2, 2010 the Morning Edition covered the terror attack on Jewish settlers by a Palestinian gunman in which 4 Jewish settlers died. To comment on these attacks, NPR’s correspondent (Ms Lourdes Navarro) invited a right-wing Jewish lawmaker who rightfully condemned the attack and plaintively questioned (and I am paraphrasing) for how long can the Jews continue to appease the Palestinians and how many innocent Jewish lives must be lost before the world takes notice of the bloodlust of Palestinians and their avowed intention to destroy the homeland of Jews. I congratulate the Jewish lawmaker on his clear and unambiguous stance on the issue of Palestinian terror attacks while I envy him for the opportunity NPR provided him for airing his views.

Contrast this with the NPR coverage of Mumbai train blasts (July 11, 2006) that killed over 200 innocent Indians. To comment on this terror attack, however, NPR invited Mr Mahesh Bhatt, a noted terror sympathizer, who promptly blamed Indians, especially the millions of residents of Mumbai for the terror attacks. In Mr Bhatt’s twisted view, Indians, especially from Mumbai ‘deserved’ it for communal riots that had happened over a decade ago.

This reminds me of the immortal words of Shylock, “if you prick us do we not bleed?”. It is a sad irony that Shylock's poignant words and their connotations were imbibed and internalized by NPR for Shylock’s ‘people’ but the same understanding is not extended to the blood of Indians.

Mr. ANGINEA: The majority of Muslims are living in slums, and they belong to the lower socioeconomic strata. Many of them are small traders, artisans, and doing small little bitty jobs everywhere. So mainly I would say that this is the poorest section of the community of Bombay.

REEVES: Ram Puneani says Muslims are also severely under-represented in the ranks of the police, and that imbalance is reflected in police attitudes.

Mr. PUNEANI: Many times when we conduct workshops and we ask police, who do you think Muslims are, generally they equate Muslims with criminals. And in the aftermath of these bomb blasts, the first thing they did was to catch all of Muslims in hundreds, indiscriminately.

REEVES: The blasts he's talking about are not from 1993. On July the 11th, this year, bombers struck Mumbai again, blowing up seven trains. One hundred and eighty-seven people were killed.

Mr. MAHESH BHATT (Movie Director): Shock, outrage, and then slowly it dawned on them that we asked for it.

REEVES: That's how Mahesh Bhatt, one of Bollywood's better-known movie directors, remembers the impact on the city. This was a sequel no one in Mumbai wanted to see.

Mr. BHATT: There was a need to blame it all on Islamic terrorism, the Jihadi forces. That's why you saw - to soothe the nerves of the majority, you broke into homes of poor helpless Muslim people and paraded them in front of the media.

REEVES: Not everyone is critical of the police's performance. Some community workers say this time the police made a concerted effort to open lines of communication with the Muslim community and address its concerns.

[Vivek K]

We need to start a BRF Wall of Shame with a link on the front page - one each for journalists, celebrities, politicians!! Mahesh Bhatt should be the first on that page.

So far none has been on display. On a related note, it appears that Pakistani liberal anger towards rabid right wing Hindtuva fanatics like WSJ correspondant Sadanand Dhume ( his latest piece) has also not been on offer. Perhaps that will come later when the sopt fixers are acquitted due to lack of evidence .

Nautankistan ‘literally in hot waters’: PM
http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.as ... 2010_pg1_1

NOWSHERA: Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raw-za Gilani on Thursday said that Pakistan is literally in troubled waters as the floods have made an irreparable dent on the national economy and infrastructure.“Pakistan is passing through a critical phase... we are literally in troubled waters. No country alone can tackle this kind of disaster,” said Gilani during his visit to the Pir Sabik flood victims’ camp set up by the Turkish Red Crescent Society (TRCS) in Nowshera. Turkish First Lady Emine Erdogan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Amir Haider Khan Hoti and Economic Affairs Minister Hina Rabbani Khar accompanied the prime minister and First Lady Fauzia Gilani. Gilani said that the unprecedented floods had broken the back of agriculture and livestock sector while damage to the infrastructure was yet to be assessed. He said that every eighth citizen of the country had been affected by the floods. He called upon the international community to come up with more financial assistance to meet the challenge.
Gilani said the floods had belittled the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the 2005 earthquake in Pakistan’s northern areas in damage and displacement of people. He thanked the Turkish government for what he called its unprecedented assistance in present and past natural calamities.
