Is badmash planning to destroy Pakistan and become owner of Islamic Republic Of Punjab?No to war: PM Nawaz decides to ‘give peace a chance’
The Akal Takht, the highest temporal seat of Sikhism, has taken a serious view of reports of Sikh girls falling victim to 'love jihad' an act that involves 'charming' Pakistani youths attempting to impress, marry and convert non-Muslim girls to Islam for using them in jihadi efforts.
The Akal Takht is concerned as along with Hindu and Christian girls, Sikh girls have also become targets of the 'love jihad' movement. Reports suggest that some radical Islamic groups are behind this movement.
This matter has been brought to the notice of the Takht by some NRI Sikhs and members of the Sikh Council of UK, an organisation involved in religious, social and cultural matters related to Sikhism. Its members include some prominent UK-based Sikhs such as representatives of prominent gurdwaras.
...
The Sikh Council brought this to the notice of the Akal Takht after getting reports of girls from England-based Sikh families being trapped in 'love jihad'. The reports also referred to these girls being exploited in various ways by their husbands and in-laws. Some of these girls were later dumped by their husbands in Pakistan, where the in-laws have been using them as domestic help.
"The Sikh Council has rescued some of the victims (girls) and brought them back to their parents," the Takht jathedar said. When asked how many such cases existed in the UK or England, he replied, "There could be hundreds."
The 'love jihad' movement is said to have its roots in Kerala and other southern states, where Christian and Hindu girls have been targeted. It has been the cause of tension in these states.
The Commission for Social Harmony and Vigilance of the Kerala Catholic Bishops Council conducted a report which highlighted the grave nature of love jihadists. The report said, "There were 2,868 female victims of the 'love jihad' in Kerala from 2006 to 2009."

ISLAMABAD:
With a staggering 5.4 million children out-of-school, Pakistan is likely to miss the Education For All (EFA) target that was set to be achieved by 2015, according to EFA Global Monitoring Report released on Wednesday.
Projecting a grim future, the report states that if the country moved at current pace the adult literacy rate (15 and above) by the year 2015 will be 60 per cent of which female at 47 per cent and male 72 per cent. Besides, the adult illiteracy rate by 2015 also seems to be estimated at an appalling 51 million of which 65% will be females.
The report reveals that if Pakistan were to halve the inequality in access to education to the level of Vietnam, it would increase its economic growth by 1.7 percentage points.
Alarmingly, Pakistan is ‘very far’ from meeting the 2015 deadline and ranks among nations like Mali, Niger and Lesotho in the countries list away from achieving the education goal, the report further states.
:U.S. Says Russia Tested Missile, Despite Treaty
During the administration of President George W. Bush, Sergei B. Ivanov, the Russian defense minister, proposed that the two sides drop the treaty.
Though the Cold War was over, he argued that Russia still faced threats from nations on its periphery, including China and potentially Pakistan.

India has already granted MFN status to Pakistan for a few decades, that's why their clothes and stuff are freely available in India. What India is trying for is to get the Pakis to grant MFN status to India (i.e.) to freely export Indian goods to Pakistan. Currently, the vast percentage of Indian goods in the Paki market are smuggled in.chetak wrote:^^^
Never understood why we are hell bent on getting the MFN ststus.
What additional advantage would it give us anyway.
Paki clothes and stuff seem to be freely available all over India, mostly being sold by relatives and friends.

NIA had produced evidence through RBI experts and forensic tests by Security Printing and Minting Corporation of India Limited (SPMCIL) to show that FICN features, paper quality and printing quality matches exactly to Pakistan currency and thus could only have been printed by Pakistan government press.

Whether this is a good idea is anybody's guess.
If they were 'normal' this could have already happened any time in the last 40 years - India certainly offered multiple opportunities and other countries including Umrika offered incentive after incentive. As for undoing partition, since India never ever made the slightest effort to do so, their so-called fear is just fakery or a demon in their own heads.Anujan wrote:There is a school of thought that tightly tying Indian and Pakistani economy will make them think twice before sending in future kasabs.

2020 is not 1965. India wasn't the economic giant to be that it is today. An Indian economy at USD 5-10 Trillion means we can not only offer carrots but the stick via anybody who wants to trade with India. We should continue to offer them trade. What's the worst that can happen and how long can they resist ?ramana wrote:In other words restore status quo ante prior to Partition?
All these restrictions were put by Auyb Khan after the drubbing in 1965.
The trade and baksheesh (its bakshesh as otherwise TSP would have to pay more for smuggled goods from India) did not stop them from sending jihadis into Kashmir or invade India in 1965.
This MMS pipe dream is really hafim induced and wont work TSP is even more jihadified now than in 1965.
Some Pakis even went and demanded that Spanish government honor the policemen.NEW DELHI: Spanish cyclist Federico Javier Colorado Soriano, who narrowly escaped an attack in Mastung, and survived another grenade attack just 12 hours later in the troubled district of Balochistan, has disputed the claim that six levies personnel had died protecting him, Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia reported on Thursday.
Colorado, who spoke to La Vanguardia in the safety of New Delhi, recalled the harrowing events in Balochistan, where he was not allowed to cycle. He told the paper that he was waiting at a check post just 300 meters behind a bus carrying pilgrims, which was attacked with a suicide bomb. His camera was recording at the time and somehow he managed to capture the blast on video. The explosion had killed at least 30 pilgrims and left over 50 injured.
When he contacted his family in Madrid he read the official statement that he was given. But in New Delhi, he uploaded the video and said that he could no longer keep quiet about what had really happened.

Hillary has got the momentum, fund raising ability, Bill Clinton's support and above all Obama's endorsement (eventually). she has the highest name recognition among potential democratic presidential hopefuls. So I would not discount Hillary that much but Huma would not have any whitehouse post, at best she might be some assistant to Hillary but not COS.JE Menon wrote:>>My concern is that Huma will get a very senior role in the next Clinton administration
Unlikely that Hillary will ever be president, but even if she does there is no chance that Huma Abedin will become Chief of Staff.

QUETTA: Three Frontier Corps (FC) personnel were killed and four others sustained injuries when a roadside Improvised Explosive Device (IED) exploded near the volatile Awaran district of Balochistan on Friday morning.
FC spokesperson Mohammed Wasay confirmed the death toll and said two of the injured are in critical condition.
“The FC vehicle was on a routine patrol from Awaran to Lesbela on the national highway when it was hit by an IED planted by miscreants,” he told The Express Tribune.
KARACHI: At least three people were injured, including a policeman, during three separate hand-grenade attacks in Karachi on Friday, DawnNews reported.
A hand-grenade attack was foiled on its own near the city’s Sohrab Goth area. Two suspected miscreants attacked a police mobile van with a hand-grenade which exploded inside their own vehicle, leaving them injured.
Islamabad: Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif Friday chaired a meeting and issued guidelines for holding negotiations to the four-member committee formed to facilitate talks with the Taliban.

Akiljit Kaur grew up hearing stories of her grandfather’s journey on the train from Pakistan; the truck ride to the railway station; the long, hot journey on a train so packed there was no room to move; the killings, how many he never counted.
Like millions of Partition refugees, Sardar Gurbachan Singh struggled to build a life in India — laying the foundation for Ms. Kaur to study at Delhi University’s prestigious Lady Shri Ram College.
Now, 65 years later, Ms. Kaur is hoping she’ll have a seat on a train to Pakistan: Delhi University’s ‘Gyanodaya Express’, an annual cross-country travel opportunity for students which will, for the first time, be headed across the border.
Dinesh Singh, Delhi University Vice-Chancellor, said the proposed visit to Pakistan was “an exercise in building bridges between the young people of both these countries”.
Dr. Singh said the group would stay in Pakistan for a week, visiting the Lahore University of Management Studies, and the frontier town of Taxila.
The train is meant to be a kind of college-on-wheels — an opportunity to experience life and culture.
Kamla Nehru College student Simple Rajra is also hoping to be on the train, eager to see the country where her grandparents met, fell in love and married. Ms. Rajra’s grandparents, Ms. Rajra says, were inseparable as children, and once even ran away together, leading the whole village to search for them.
Their families were separated during the chaos of Partition, as they fled across what is now the Line of Control in Poonch. The families were resettled, though, in the same village in India — leading, eventually, to Ms. Rajra’s birth.
Her grandparents, however, never again saw the river bank where they used to meet — and Ms. Rajra hopes she will fulfil their dream.
The Vice-Chancellor said he hadn’t been able to be present through earlier Gyanodaya Express trips through India.
“But I will most probably accompany the students on this trip,” he said.
“We will open applications on first come, first served basis during the university’s Anthardhvani Festival, which begins on February 14,” Dr. Singh said.
He added that the university would “be giving those students who apply during the festival priority over those who apply through their college or department later”.
The Pakistan Cricket Board was paid around USD 58 to 60 millions as its share of the International Cricket Council (ICC) events held in the present cycle of eight years, which ends in 2014. (PCB chief Zaka Ashraf calls for emergency meeting to discuss ICC draft)
A well-informed source told PTI that this amount didn't include the compensation amount of around USD 15 million that PCB got from the ICC after the 2011 World Cup matches were moved from Pakistan due to security reasons.
