India must be compelled

to resolve all outstanding issues and handover all wanted criminals to Pakistan

“There is no point is just talking to Bharat (aka India)–that has been going on for six decades. If Bharat is interested in any meaningful discussions it should resolve Sir Creek, and Siachin immediately, stop cross border support for the TTP and the BLA, banning the terror groups Shiv Sena, Bajrang Dal, and the RSS and those types of organization, handing over Colonel Prohit, Mr. Adhvani and Mr. Thackery who are wanted for crimes in Pakistan and Bharat should immediately cease pogroms against Muslims in Mumbai and Gujerat. These would be good Confidence building measures for starters.”

Pakistan may use the following useful cards;

1. Her links to the Central Asia and EU through roads and rail.

2.Her new pipeline projects with Iran and future pipeline projects with China.

3.Her strategic participation and membership in ECO, SCO, and other South Asian Countries

4.Her future strategic role in the development of Afghanistan

5.Her brotherly relations with Sri Lanka and Bangladesh and the future prospects in the region.

Pakistan shall not let India benefit from any opportunities unless She commits herself to the resolution of all the above issues, and must not fell to the stall and irrational excuses of India.

Needs of the Pakistanis for a Digital Pakistan

DIGITAL PAKISTAN

The first step towards a “Digital Pakistan” is the establishment of goals for the next five years, the next ten years and the next generation.

Past US presidents established the goal to build a network of roads, railroads, and a goal to reach the moon. Other presidents established goals to place all documents on the internet.

If we do not have a vision we will never be able to get there. A Digital Pakistan is the vision of the next decade and beyond. Each successive generation can and must establish a vision and then work hard to achieve it.

This is one version of the “Digital Pakistan” that is the right of the next generation.

NEEDS OF THE PAKISTANI NATION

Without a lot of ceremony, here is a list of requirements of the Pakistani nation:

1. For our role in the proxy wars of the past century Pakistanis deserve the following. Here a bill to be handed over to “the powers to be”.

2. We want Bullet Trains running from the Karakorum’s and beyond to Gwader and beyond.

3. We want a modern train system and underground railways for our cities.

4. We want Water and sewage lines in our major cities and our towns and villages.

5. We want 1000 proper schools for our children and we want $100 million

6. 2500 brand new world class hospitals. $ 1 Billion million.

7. Compare to the USA: (Total Number of all U.S. registered hospitals: 5759

8. Total staffed beds in all U.S. registered hospitals: 955,768

9. Teach Urdu, English, Farsi, Arabic and Chinese in all schools. Also optional languages Punjabi, Kashmiri, Pahari, Hindkoh, Saraki, Pushto, Baluchi, Brahvi, Sindhi, Darri, Potohari. $ 50 million

10. We want 500 modern libraries spread all over the country. Build a library larger than the one in Alexandria. $250 million compare to 117,378 libraries in the USA

11. We want a Motorway system to link all cities of Pakistan, North and South, East and West. $10 billion

12. We need 10 new major airports linked by High Speed Trains. $10 Billion

13. We want 50 million “$100 computers” for Pakistanis in Urdu and all local languages. $100 million

14. We want “kachi abadis” to disappear from our cities. We want to see skyscraper and government housing for all the poor who can be used for labor to build the building. $ 5 Billion

15. We want 100 power plants to eliminate the shortage of electricity in the country.$ 500 million

16. We want 5 major dams and 100 minor dams to prevent the acute water shortage in the country. $ 500 million

17. We want 100 ships for the Pakistan National Shipping Corporation so that Pakistan can become a major sea faring nation able to handle the trade. $ 5 Billion

18. We have to quadruple the yield for our Cotton, Milk and Wheat production benchmarked against the USA, Australia and Canada. $1 Billion

19. Get ship load of Sri Lankan teachers to eliminate illiteracy in Pakistan. $ 10 million

20. Get boatloads of Malaysian manufacturers to setup electronic manufacturing in Pakistan

21. Get train loads of Koreans to build 10 new planned cities in Pakistan. $ 10 Billion

22. Get a plane load of the Swiss to build world class ski resorts and amusement parks and develop our archeological sites as wonders of the world. $ 2 Billion

23. Get busloads of Chinese to build industrial parks in Pakistan. $ 10 Billion

24. We want to reclaim millions of acres of desert in Baluchsitan for our future generations. $ 3 Billion

25. And Oh! Yes Northern Areas are part and parcel of Pakistan not to be bartered away to anyone. Don’t even think of giving up Kashmir!

26. Does this list look expensive? Not really. The cost of all this is in the league of $38 Billion that was offered to Turkey for transit rights into Iraq, which the Turkish parliament turned down. Even if it double or triple that amount, we deserve it.

27. Pakistan’s largest Park Ayub National Park is today a moth eaten park. General Ayub Khan stole half of it for golf. Other military orfficers and others took portions of the park and build their homes. The park needs to be restored to its original boundries and all illegal construction needs to be demolished. Vast areas in Balauchistan, the Norhtern Areas, Punajb and Sindh need to be designated as Pakistan National Parks on the lines of the US National Parks. No construction would be allowed on the large national parks.

28. Development of Horticulture: Pakistan has the means to develop the production of roses and other horticultural materials that can be exported in frozen format to countries in Europe and the US. The flower market is a multi-billion Dollar market and needs to be expoited.

29. PTV needs to be revamped so that it can provide information and entertainment to the Middle East, Africa and Europe. If Al Jazeera and Press TV can do it, so can Pakistan.

30. Pakistan needs to actively participate in Clinical Research Trials which is a multi-billion Dollar industry.

Was Ghandi a great leader or a failure?

“The 109th Congress of the United States of American condemned him for his racism, and the Nobel Peace prize Committee criticized him for his war mongering, and requesting the Government of Bharat (aka India) to wage war on Pakistan. That telegram according to the Nobel peace prize committee clinched his dumping.”

I use to be a fan my self, and tried to aquire his biography, and quotes, however I found my self out of waters when I read the detailed article on www.rupeenews.com by Moin Ansari, with references from books and newspapers.

The sad thing is that though Indian themselves, US, and English historians has criticised Ghandi’s character for so many reasons; and even Ghandi himself confessed of his being a failure, failed to influence the current Indian leadership to give up the anti-Pakistani struggles and find a solution to this long enmity, resolve the Kashmir dispute, and stop middling in the affairs of neighbouring states. Moreover the current leadership will once again fail if it didn’t realise how important it is to abolish the prevailing caste system and promote Human Rights while considering the right of self determination of different states in India who are fighting for freedom.

His (Gen Deepak Kapoor) remarks don’t show Indian Capabilities but do express Indian fears of defeat in South Asian Affairs

It is not his first time, and surprisingly such a qualified General couldn’t understand to weight his remarks before passing them on to his emotional listeners and media. There are two possible assumptions that one can make.
First that General Kapoor is not mature enough to guess what are the chances to win such a war, and whether it would depend on India to end the war(as termed by India ‘a limited’) or on the countries in defence position who are not only capable of thwarting such an attack but are capable of causing serious damage by engaging enemy on multiple war theatres. And
The second is that General Kapoor is aware of these facts, but is pressurised by the anti-Pakistani and anti-Chinese lobby in the defence ministry. This argument can be further certified by the recent speech of Indian defence minister who rejected the assumptions that India has the capability to wage a war against Pakistan while presenting solid and classified proofs in the Indian congress.
General Kapoor’s frequent remarks doesn’t even sound serious any more, and it seems that he just says such things to keep his bosses happy, and enjoy the promised prerogatives while being in his office. After all the Generals in his neighbourhood has always ruled the nation, and were famous around the world for their leadership skills and diplomatic competencies. Any one in his position will like to be famous particularly when he is in such a neighbourhood.
However General Kapoor should remember that such warnings might initiate primitive strategies on the other side of his country borders. And before even any of his stall strategies are brought in operation he finds himself engaged in a mess that then he cannot put straight.
A General’s job is to protect his nation and guard there interest; not to put them in danger by provoking civilise enemies while showing them green gardens of post war prosperity.

And the Gentalmann retires

I think after his comments the pressure mount to a level that couldn’t save the Genral’s position and he had to retire with whatever reason he could.

iPhon: A blogging experience

In the current race of technology and the advent of smart phones the decision of buying a smart a phone has become so much important that I had to call my service provider more than seven time making sure that the phone I get has all the required functions and fulfil my blogging and networking needs as a computer with wi-fi might do.this decision even took me to the O2 shop in the busiest time of my academic career where I am head to toe busy in my assignments thAt might decide the fate of all three-year hard work. After visiting mobile phone shops and researching online i found iPhone again the only one that can fulfil my needs. However what scares me is the huge applications that I might wanna explore while making a cup of tea, and my history of burning tea-pot is so trodden that I don’t disqualify the possibility of burning more pots than before. Further I am worried about getting around London, as my past is full of wrong destination due to Reading on trains and buses. I always realise after crossing two-three station and finishing the chapter that I have missed my station. Thus iPhone will for sure make me repeat my mistakes and give me a chance covering them with my habitual excise that I was doing some thing good or beneficial. You won’t realise I have typed this post on iPhone unless you notice the spelling mistakes, however I still need to re-assess my decision as I don’t wanna generate potential possibilities of burning our house down.

The vitality of ‘HOPE’ to our National Integrity

Don’t be hopeless my dear people, the storms will soon be over and our valleys green again, however we shall not forget how hard our enemies hit us, and how hard it was to bear the global harassment and discrimination of every form. If we are the children of our land and we do believe in ourselves we will realize our ideology we will not only recover from the trauma of statuesque but will give back in return peace, prosperity and hope to the falling nations of the world as our ancestors did. We always had great chances of success than failure, we just kept on taking our chance….it’s time to change now!

Why Is India So Scared?

Since 14th of August 1947 India is playing every of its card to somehow come up as a Regional Power either by proving that it is much more powerful than Pakistan, the sole Nuclear Islamic Power, or boosting about its defence and economic capabilities to shoulder itself with China. However in its overall propaganda against Islamabad and its weak campaign  to deter Beijing and confine its influence in South Asia and Fareast every move that India had made had propagated a message of hatred, power hunger, and its fear of the past experiences of failures and self intoxication. All this can be seen not only in the speeches of Indian Prime Ministers and other public figures but has also been woven in its electronic media, entertainment and film industry financed and supported by Hindu radical organisations. Been scared India on the front shows its deterrence capabilities but behind the scene is mourning the interstate war on resources, liberation movements, and freedom movements which are further worsen by the level of poverty and ignorance prevailing across most of the country.

The withdrawal of NATO Forces from Afghanistan is in US benifit

The failure has been witnessed since the very first entrance of the NATO forces in Afghanistan in the form of Civilian Massacres, high collateral damage, and the current situation in the northern areas of Pakistan, which is feared to worsen further after the arrival of more US troops. After witnessing human loss on such a large scale in both the neighboring countries, the failure of the armed campaign, and the current suicidal attacks on every day bases, most of the influential think tanks, famous public figures, policy makers and military strategist suggest only one solution to the troubled region of South Asia, “The withdrawal of NATO forces from Afghanistan”.

The illegality of drones

By Dr Tariq Hassan

 

“The US does not have any legal right to launch missile attacks on Pakistan through drones or otherwise. Under international law, it is only entitled to self-defence pursuant to Article 51 of the UN Charter which preserves ‘the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a member of the United Nations’. This limited use of force under Article 51 is an exception to the general prohibition prescribed by Article 2(4) of the UN Charter.”

Not A War For America’s Pakistani Apologists

“This is exactly the profile of LTTE terrorists, UNITA rebels and other shadowy militias that litter the Cold War history. The emergence of these new Pakistani warlords over the past four years in Swat and the tribal belt, flush with money and weapons, recruiting the innocent using Islam and Pashtun identity, is part of a wider problem. It is not just ‘Talibanization’ as U.S. officials and some of their Pakistani apologists are claiming. “

Swat Crises & Media

When you switch on the TV and watch any channel, Pakistani in particular, you will notice one common propaganda “Islamic Law in Swat” and the “Writ of the Government”.  The media is trying its level best to keep the common public confuse about different terminologies and thus creating and promoting uncertainty. If you switch on to PTV, you will find that there is a national consensus on the issue, and all parties agree on “Operation Rahe Haq”, and the most important that Army has gain control on the strategic locations in the region covered by this operation. However if you switch on to any other cable TV channel which fortunately only some people can afford to watch, you find that though the Government and the Army is achieving progress yet at a very big cost of IDPs, poor planning and risk evaluations. Further we are shown that some of the religious parties are not supporting this operation but are totally against it. Suddenly you see an appeal for aid for the IDPs, the complaints of displaced people about the poor arrangements for them, and clips of talk shows saying that the people of Swat are not complaining about the Taliban but about the security forces that worsen the condition in Swat, however on the other side the same channel is condemning Taliban on the issue of beheading people, and killing the influential people in Swat. Similarly we hear the Government welcoming foreign aid from various western allies, however keeping the conditions behind such bills hidden and undiscussed.In short we notice a considerable confusion among all the circles.

To be continued…

Together We can Make it Possible

Let us support each other, be unite, and work together for our nation and Muslim Ummah.

May Allah bring peace back to our country

 

JF-17 Thunder Great achievement by Pakistan and China

By MOIN ANSARI

 

“ After the 1965 war the U.S. placed an arms embargo on Pakistan. Despite being a founding member of SEATO and CENTO, Islamabad faced the American sanctions. During the 1971 war Pakistan was under another American arms embargo. During the 1990s, after winning the cold war for the USA, Pakistan was under U.S. sanctions and an arms embargo…”

“…This success story of developing and manufacturing advanced weapons in Pakistan is not limited to the JF-17 Thunder. The Nuclear bomb, the missiles and the tanks were all produced in record time, considering that Pakistan had only one dysfunctional Textile Mill, one dilapidated University, and one archaic Jute Mill in 1947. No other country has come so far in defense production in such a short period of time…”

“…The new plane has exclusively been designed for Pakistani needs–deep penetration into India.”

Terror, Neglect Keep Pakistan’s Beauty Hidden

By David Brunnstrom

Chitral: It’s 6:15 a.m. at Peshawar airport and a clerk is using a large screwdriver to pry the padlock off the door of the booking office of Pakistan International Airlines. When he is finally behind his counter, there are less than 40 minutes to go before the departure of the PIA flight to the picturesque mountain town of Chitral. He can sell tickets for the journey but can’t guarantee seats, or whether the flight will even take off, and money can’t be refunded until the next day. The alternative to 45 minutes in the air is a tortuous 16-hour Jeep climb over spectacular but dangerous mountain roads. Such snags are not the only reason that Chitral, a region so beautiful it should be one of the world’s premier tourist destinations, received only 88 foreign tourists in the first six months of this year. Pakistan is a country tourists have been advised to steer well clear of after a series of bloody attacks on Western targets last year following the launch of the US-led war on terror in neighboring Afghanistan. Chitral is also in Northwest Frontier Province, where the local government is accused of trying to emulate the fundamentalist policies of Afghanistan’s former Taliban regime. If that wasn’t enough, on Pakistan’s eastern border is India, a nuclear-armed rival with which it went to the brink of a fourth war last year. Pakistan’s tourism industry was suffering from neglect and external shocks even before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States put it in the frontline of the war on terror. TOURISTS ORDERED OUT: In 1998, tourists were ordered out of Chitral for their own safety after Washington launched missile strikes on southeast Afghanistan in response to al Qaeda attacks on its embassies in East Africa. Haider Ali Shah runs the Mountain Inn in Chitral, which opened in 1968 when most of the visitors were hashish-happy hippies on the overland trail from Europe to Asia. He said tourists had started to trickle back before Sept. 11. “But since then we have had virtually none at all and those we do get are foreigners working in Islamabad.” Sitting on a wicker chair in the hotel’s exquisitely tended garden, he explains that each night only three or four of the 26 surrounding rooms are occupied. “We don’t make money, but we have this property and we have to look after it,” he said. “We have to stay in this business in the hope that it will get better again.” In the background, a hotel employee nods politely to a monologue from a solitary foreign tourist about how important travel is to bringing cultures together and how this should be understood by the likes of British Prime Minister Tony Blair and President Bush. Shah says he has had to let some staff go, but other businesses have been worse affected. Many villagers relied on trekking groups for their income, working as guides, porters, drivers, or in restaurants frequented by foreigners. Now the only alternative to scratching a living through subsistence farming is to leave the crystal clear air of the mountains and search for work in the smog of cities like Karachi. Capt. Siraj Ulmulk, a former chief pilot at PIA who owns and runs the Hindu Kush Heights, a hotel with a spectacular view of the Chitral valley, said many in the town had been angered by blanket warnings not to travel to Pakistan. “WRONG ADVICE”: “It’s the wrong advice, because Chitral is absolutely peaceful. There’s nothing wrong here — the police have nothing to do,” he said. While he understands governments have to play safe, he has witnessed embarrassing moments when diplomats whose embassies had put out travel warnings ran into compatriots at his hotel. Another troubled by the travel advisories is British movie comic turned adventure traveler Michael Palin, who was filming the first program in a new series in Chitral in July. “I think it is as safe here in Pakistan as you are in London in many ways,” he said. “Obviously you have to take precautions if you go to certain areas, but as far as we are concerned, we have had nothing but help and cooperation.” Palin said he was struck by the great hospitality, an important tradition in Muslim countries, and those who stayed away were missing out. “The mountains are absolutely extraordinary. This is the most striking and tremendous mountain scenery I think I have ever seen in my life.” Siraj said Palin could help put the region back on the map. Indeed, British travel agents refer to a “Palin effect,” which takes the form of a surge in bookings for holidays in remote regions he has visited in his hugely popular travelogues. Shah said he thought it would be at least three years before any sort of recovery in the local industry, and in the meantime, the Chitralis have been in discussions with Central Asian tour operators with a view to linking up programs. Siraj said there were reasons to be hopeful, with the government at last investing in road upgrades and promising yet again to restart work on a tunnel that would lop hours off the journey to Islamabad. “Once global conditions improve, things will definitely start to happen here in tourism,” he said.
