Remember the case of ex Pakistani ambassador to India (or was he a foreign sec) was beaten with iron rods, killed and his property taken after his servant accused him of being a homosexual/blasphemer? This is just that on a bigger scale.

Accusing people of blasphemy and taking their property is a common occurrence in Pakistan. We can argue whether it is really due to intolerance or is it due to greed or both or religion blessed greed (right hand left had possessions) which totally misses the point.

If you are a minority in Pakistan you will be killed by someone shouting AoA !! and your property taken. Then you can wonder whether it was your property or religion.

Be the first to know General Musharraf's date and city of arrival in Pakistan.

Trying to fish in troubled waters, Pakistan’s parliament on Thursday passed a resolution condemning the hanging of Afzal Guru and demanded the return of his body to his family.

Two days before it completes its five-year term, the National Assembly or lower house of parliament passed the resolution moved by Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, who heads a special parliamentary panel on Kashmir.

Besides condemning the hanging of Guru, 2001 Parliament attack convict, the resolution expressed concern at the situation created in Jammu and Kashmir by the execution.

The House called for Guru’s body to be handed over to his family. Guru was hanged and buried within Tihar Jail in Delhi in February.

His execution triggered protests in Jammu and Kashmir.

Pakistan-based terror groups such as the Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed have vowed to take revenge for the hanging.

The parliamentary resolution further said the international community should not remain as silent spectators in efforts to find a solution to the Kashmir dispute.

It said steps should be taken to implement the United Nations Security Council’s resolutions on the Kashmir issue.

The resolution called for an end to alleged killings in Jammu and Kashmir and the removal of the army from towns and cities of the Kashmir Valley.

It further said all prisoners should be freed, “black laws” repealed and curfew withdrawn from the region.

"Hopefully by June-July, a new government will assume office in Pakistan and I am sure that the first priority of the new government would be perhaps giving the (MFN) status," Commerce Secretary S R Rao said here at a ICRIER function.

Elections in Pakistan are expected to take place in May this year.

The neighbouring country has missed the deadline of December 31, 2012 for granting the status to India.

In March last year, Pakistan had moved to a negative list regime for trade from the positive list regime.

This has opened Pakistani market for about 7,000 Indian goods against about 2,000 earlier. It has said that it would remove the negative list, which contains 1,209 items, by December 2012 -- technically which would mean grant of MFN status to India.

Allaying concerns of Pakistan businessmen that after this status Indian products would swamp Pakistani market, Rao said that enough safeguards are available in the SAARC agreement to protect domestic industries.

"In the SAARC agreement, we have safeguard clause which is over and above the safeguards present under the WTO regime. ..an authority can do due diligence if any injury is happening to its domestic players and it can protect the industry by raising the tariffs," he said.

On visa issue, he said both the sides have signed the agreement for visa liberalisation.

"Business visas are going to be normalised as the agreement has been signed and only notifications are awaited from both the sides," he said adding "work visas would also come" {Holy $hit} as the both the sides have now permitted FDI.

The nonsense of Partition gave the Muslims of Indian sub-continent many things
- It gave them a secured territory to own and pillage - Proof is in how they treat minorities in Pakistan and Bangladesh
- It gave them an independent foreign policy and military - Proof in how they collude with Indian enemies and acquire nuclear weapons
- It gave them a say in Muslim matters in all of the Indian sub-continent - Proof is how Indian Muslims still have marital relationships (as if there are not enough muslims to marry within India; how many Indian muslims marry african muslims?)

All this nonsense if further exasperated by the "secularism" in India.

Mohammadden peer of the UK, Lord Nazir Ahmed, detects a “Jewish conspiracy”:

Pakistan-born UK peer suspended for 'Jewish conspiracy' talk

ISLAMABAD - Pakistan and International Monetary Fund (IMF) would hold talks next
month (April) in Washington wherein Islamabad might seek fresh bailout package to avert a crisis of balance of payments, it has been learnt.“Pakistan and IMF will hold sideline meeting at the annual spring meeting of World Bank/IMF in Washington next month. The caretaker government will decide to seek fresh bailout package from the Fund as we cannot say it now”, said Rana Assad Amin, spokesperson and advisor to the Finance ministry while talking to The Nation on Thursday. The policy-steering bodies of the IMF and the World Bank (Development Committee) will hold their semi-annual meetings on April 20.However, sources in finance ministry and economic experts believed that caretaker government is likely to seek fresh programme worth of $5 to $6 billion to avert a crisis on balance of payments, as foreign currency reserves are sharply depleting due to heavy repayment to the IMF. Pakistan’s overall liquid foreign exchange reserves fell to $12.805 billion on February 28 2013 wherein reserves held by the State Bank stood at $7.861 billion and reserves held by commercial banks stood at $4.944 billion. The foreign exchange reserves might decline to $7.5billion to $8.5billion at the end of the current fiscal year, 2012-2013 due to a heavy repayment to the IMF.Sources said that IMF is expected to include conditionality such as greater revenue generation by the abolishment of income tax, sales tax, federal excise duty and customs duty exemptions besides the containment of losses incurred by public sector enterprises and the power sector for the new loan agreement. During the last talks, the IMF team is said to have insisted on the reduction of the budget deficit by 1.5 percent of GDP over the medium term through policy measures that generate revenue and cut expenditures.Pakistan has paid over $3.2 billion to the IMF putting pressure on the already depleting foreign exchange reserves. The country’s external account is under extreme pressure since the inflows were negligible during the year 2012, while outflows eroded the reserves. TheSources said in the next financial year, Islamabad would have to repay $3.4billion to the IMF. Hence, Pakistan would have no option, but to seek a fresh bailout package from the IMF to remove the possibility of a default.

Failure is a word unknown to me,” said Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Well, only a man like Jinnah could say that. So replete with composure, he was a daunting man in himself and possessed this uncanny ability to never lose at arguments. . But to say that Jinnah never failed is factual injustice.From 1906, Jinnah laboured with the Indian National Congress and after nine years of much approbated participation, he was ready to ascend the final rungs of the party. But then, at the hour of victory, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi conjured himself in India (circa 1915), and sold religion with such ease and ardour that the Indian Congress adopted a religion. Jinnah was for once outclassed and his penchant for constitution-driven politics left him with no reply to Gandhi’s rhetoric of religion. Proud and stately, Jinnah would never refer to ‘Mr Gandhi’ as Mahatma, and subsequently left the Indian National Congress, his efforts now solely focused on a minority party, the All India Muslim League.The last 30 of the millennium found way to inception and political wedges relentlessly mined deeper; over half a century old and disheartened, Jinnah finally turned his back on his political ambitions and left for a life in England. He was now a seldom sight in India and only a momentous ghost in the political arena.But failure was never the dormant child of noon; his family life had its last breath in 1939 when he parted ways with Dina, his only daughter, over her decision to marry Neville Wadia, a Parsi by faith. “What about the millions of Muslim men in India?” he asked Dina. The argument did not hold front to the winds of changes and gone was Dina, at the expense of a religious predicament (much expounded upon in my article titled “Dina Wadia: the forgotten daughter”, Daily Times, February 2, 2013). As brilliant as Jinnah was in all things said and done, a thorough family life was a known preclusion. Stanley Wolpert was enlightening in the fact that none of his direct descendants chose to settle in Pakistan, a country wIn spite of these definitive troughs, Jinnah still claimed that failure never crossed his path? Perhaps that has much to do with how one defines failure and how often does one gauge it; Jinnah certainly did not count his failures by the day and a hour of redemption did follow when he held parity with Gandhi, lifelong presidency over the Muslim League, repeating grief for a wife long-lost, meetings with a daughter estranged, and realization of a resplendent dream, which was a substance of dreams itselfhich cost him his very life.
