it was an expected "moderate/extremist" spin...as if they are 2 different entities...GOI must ensure that the myth of the moderate pacqui is exposed...i m sure modi has given it a thought..badmash must go back not with brownie points but with browning pants...he should not be allowed to make an official statement..
it should be made clear that this is a celebration of a true democracy unlike some of the other saarc states ...and india being the boss around here dictates terms of business..
It's a brand new government, a time for new beginnings and to forge new friendships — so perhaps this is also a good time for the innovative Startup Dosti partnership, promoted by the Atlantic Council, a Washington-based non-profit foreign policy think tank, to rev up its act.
And that's exactly what it seems to be doing. The Startup Dosti partnership, which seeks to build enduring relationships between entrepreneurs from India, Pakistan and its diaspora by providing cross-border support ..

Startup Dosti (http://www.startupdosti.org), a cross-border partnership between the Atlantic Council, and London and Karachi based SEED Ventures, seeks to empower young founders in India and Pakistan, while accelerating bilateral ties by "building bridges" between the nextgen entrepreneurial communities
The logical conclusion of this reporting is: Since Nawaz has defied his domestic deep state and has shown such tremendous courage, Modi must strengthen him appropriately by rewarding him with some nice things. What can Modi reward? Kashmir? Siachin? Electricity? Water?
Why are these geniuses not raising the possibility of deliberate good-cop/bad-cop routine by civil and military regimes of Bakiland? Even if Nawaz is assumed to have defied his domestic deep state, then what is the use of such impotent civil leadership which has to take orders even to attend simple ceremonies? And why should Bhaarath give up anything to strengthen others? If Bhaarath is going to give up something, then its a loss regardless of whether it is given up to military opponents or civil opponents.

Never mind that non Indian players are desperate to play in the IPL , apparently, “it is image of Indian cricket that has suffered” for not permitting players from the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to play in the IPL tournament. :

Agree this is a “good cop – bad cop” act. However I believe it is not India Media Teasing but
“High Hopes” (Like the Ram against the Dam) of the so-called India’s Liberal Media – in this case a J & K Paper possibly trying to remain on the right side of the Abdullah Family.
KHUZDAR: Some unknown armed persons opened fire at Jauhar checkpost on Quetta-Karachi National Highway leaving seven levies personnel dead on Sunday here, Geo News reported.
District administration said that six levies personnel were shot dead as some armed persons opened fire at the Jauhar checkpost on Quetta-Karachi National Highway here. The assailants escaped from the scene, however, security forces have cordoned off the area and hunt for the accused on.
Arrangements are being made for shifting the bodies to Khuzdar.

johneeG, exactly the thoughts running through my mind. I have a slight variation on the good-cop/bad-cop theory. Indeed, the 'leaked' & 'planted' news items try to portray a division between the STFU-TSPA and Nawaz Sharif. Probably, there was a division to start with (as evidenced by STFU-TSPA's lackey Hafeez Saeed's threats to Nawaz in a public meeting). Then, they arrived at a compromise and Nawaz is carrying STFU-TSPA's wish-list demarche with him. Just as ZAB carried one with him to the Simla meeting in 1972. The STFU-TSPA may think that an as yet 'raw' PM who has not yet cut his teeth with the Pakistani art of perfidious diplomatic negotiations and tactical brilliance could be coaxed into conceding something. Certainly, they will size-up Modi now. They would also demand now that it is Modi's turn to visit Islamabad to maintain the momentum and the Indian WKK apologists would vociferously support that. Unless Modi takes a tough stand so that the STFU-TSPians do not wish to invite him to Islamabad in the near future, the trap is being laid by the Pakis.
Sorry to make you puke. TSP is very innocent onlee, its only India that alleges that TSP sponsors terror. Some non state actors will attack but nuke deterrent will prevent India from any retaliation
The slain militants have been identified as Zubair Ahmad alias Musab, a resident of Nowpora, and Ishfaq Ahmad Bhat alias Amir, a resident of nearby Shopian district.
He said militants opened fire on security personnel who retaliated killing two LeT militants in the gunbattle that lasted nearly three hours.
"The duo belonged to Ayatollah alias Ma'az sub-group of LeT and were active in South Kashmir," the spokesman said.
Kulgam is about 68 kms from Srinagar.
as usual, IA doing a good job of dispatching the vermins to their heavenly abode.
AMRITSAR – A 14-member delegation from Pakistan arrived in India on Sunday ahead of the swearing in of India’s next prime minister Narendra Modi on Monday evening in which Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will be prominent among other leaders from the South Asian countries.
Nawaz will be accompanied by a delegation comprising of his Adviser on National Security and Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz, Special Assistant Tariq Fatemi and Foreign Secretary Aizaz Chaudhry among others.
They [army] would give us one gola (grenade) each and send us to throw them on the Indians,” Ali, a cook at Nadra, said. “The children were small and were hard to detect at night. And plus we knew all the inside routes that even the adults didn’t. So they gave us a gola each and off we went, running up the hills.”As Ali tells me about the unusual toys and the invented games, his infant daughter plays with a rattle by his feet. She chuckles. At least for her, one can pray, the war is over.
See how little the fast-changing world is understood. While everyone worried about the nuclear arsenal of undemocratic Pakistan “falling into the hands” of Islamic extremists, it is ‘democratic’ India and its nuclear arsenal that has fallen into the hands of Hindu extremists first.
India’s new Prime Minister Modi’s cuteness is transparent, inviting all leaders of South Asia to his inaugural, emulating the new British viceroys of yore who would invite every Indian prince and satrap to his durbar to demonstrate their loyalty to the crown. Nawaz Sharif invited Modi’s predecessor to his swearing in but he didn’t come. Sharif is caught in another bind: go, and emulate the loyal satraps of old; don’t go, and be accused of spurning a ‘friendly’ gesture.
The children of Gandhi’s assassins have come to power again, this time with a vengeance. Hello India’s reality, the land of Hindus where peoples of other religions are tolerated only as second-class citizens.
after meeting with sharif, Modi can decide whether to kill the vermin next door first before tinkering with economy or whether it is pre-requisite to destroy Pakistan Army to achieve peace in south asia. Meeting with Sharif should be one-to-one without any keede makode.

No, he is coming to inform NaMo that he is ready to sign the MFN NDMA deal immediately. India can count on trading in the Billions and Billions of dollars with the bhooka, nanga of Shitistan. Misfortunately, with the confusion to attend or not to attend, he forgot the paperwork at GHQ RAW-al-pindi.

He will inform that Pakistan has "in principle" agreed to grant NDMA and then nothing will happen.
So 45 mins for each head of state, don't think Badmash is taking anything home. Another rumour is that he is having lunch with three Indian journalists, karan Thapar is one of them.
HeadLines today ticker: Nawaz promises NDMA to India; willing to give guarantees (like Musharraf); expedite 26/11 probe; time to move past 2002 Gujarat riots.
All those words have been heard by us many times before but the ground reality had never changed. There is absolutely no reason to believe that things will be any different this time around.
And, what is this, "we have to move beyond 2002 riots" ?

arminius Ji :
Badmaash gets 35 minutes i.e. 5 mins to Walk in and 30 mins to sit down.
Quote : And, what is this, "we have to move beyond 2002 riots" ?
It is like saying , you forget about Mumbai 2008 , we are willing to forget Gujarat 2002 !
Let us move on ! Let us clear our respective slates & start afresh !
Covert opns is the only way to deal with this *****
Badmaash gets 35 minutes i.e. 5 mins to Walk in and 30 mins to sit down.
More like, five minutes to find direction to the meeting, two minutes to compose himself, three minutes to walk in, twenty minutes to get an earful while remaining standing up, two minutes to wipe sweat and compose himself, three minutes to crawl out of the meeting.
ITBP at Herat consulate reacted very promptly to thwart the terror and the Afghan Forces arrived shortly thereafter to fight these terrorists. The terrorists were from LeT. The LeT is a common enemy for both our countries & against aspirations of both of us. They are also an enemy of mankind. The people of Pakistan must join with both of us to fight these terrorists. I hope the relevant authorities in Pakistan recognize this fact.
Abdullah Abdullah, the next president of Afghanistan, knows the pakis well. Modi and Abdullah should have a summit once he is installed as the president.

Ignore the title to this report but here's an indication if shareif badmaash intended to meet any cashmere politicos while in India. With hope and fear from Kashmir
It is also interesting that Nawaz Sharif has thus far not indicated to meet any Kashmiri resistanceterrorist leaders during his visit to the Indian capital.
Almost all top Kashmiri leadersseparatists have denied receiving any invitation from the Pakistani High Commission this time around.
This is being seen as a break from earlier traditions set by the Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi, which would extend invitations to the key Kashmiri leadershipterrorists for talks whenever any top dignitaries from Pakistan, prime ministers and presidents included, visited India.
Do Indian leaders meet the freedom fighters of BLA, BLO, Jeay Sindh, GBNA, etc when in Pakistan?
Does anybody know what exactly do the Harried terrorist rats mean by "solution" or whatever they call to change status quo. The rats more than anybody else know India will not allow them to ebrace their TSP lovers, nor would India given then US-preferred option of becoming independent, and they know these realities are rock solid. So assuming they are capable of pragmatic, independent thinking (a big assumption), what will they settle for and move on? One must also guard against slimy formulations like MushRat that MMS and WKK brigade fell for like the 4-point formula which is valley surrender using a different set of words.
NEW DELHI: Trade related issues such as grant of non-discriminatory market access to Indian products are expected to figure in the bilateral meeting of Narendra Modi and Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif here on Tuesday.
Sharif is here to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Modi. His delegation includes adviser Sartaj Aziz, special assistant Tariq Fatemi and foreign secretary Aizaz Chaudhry.
Sharif will have a separate meeting with Modi before returning to Pakistan.
In 2012, Pakistan had committed itself to give the Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status but missed its own deadline of December 31, owing to domestic opposition.
Besides, both the sides have earlier agreed to start trade in power and oil sectors and open more trade routes.
The bilateral trade between the countries stood at USD 2.6 billion in 2012-13.
India's main exports to Pakistan include sugar, man-made filaments and chemicals, while its imports comprise mineral fuels, among others.
But the hope the Nawaz government has been nursing about a BJP government being more willing than one led by Congress to engage in a meaningful dialogue with Pakistan is mere fantasy. There is no reason for Pakistan to start on a note of chumminess with the incoming Indian government. Nawaz’s invitation to Modi to visit Pakistan was, therefore, ill-advised. It is significant that Modi neither accepted the invitation, nor reciprocated it. If the haste with which the prime minister invited Modi was unseemly, Nawaz has now committed a far more serious mistake by accepting the invitation extended by Modi to his oath-taking ceremony, together with the other Saarc leaders. Modi’s invitation to Nawaz is not meant to indicate a wish to start a meaningful dialogue with Pakistan but is part of a broader move to signal that India considers the South Asian region to be its natural sphere of influence. It is the first step in the new more muscular foreign policy that the BJP promised during the election campaign. According to one Indian commentator, it is “not a grand gesture but an assertion that under him India will be the regional boss”.According to one Indian press report, the idea of inviting Saarc leaders to Modi’s inauguration was dreamed up by an informal group of hawkish former diplomats and intelligence officials who have been advising Modi informally and wanted the new prime minister to come up with a foreign policy masterstroke at the beginning of his tenure. It is regrettable that Nawaz did not see through this game and agreed to the bit part he has been assigned in this diplomatic charade.
The name itself sounds uber gay.
