NEW DELHI: <b>Pakistan rejected Thursday renewed Indian charges that Pakistani "state actors" were involved in planning and coordinating the 2008 Mumbai attacks and offered a joint probe into the incidents.</b><br /><br />"I would very strongly reject any insinuation of any involvement of any state agency in acts of terrorism in India," Pakistani Foreign Secretary Jalil Abbas Jilani told reporters after talks with his Indian counterpart Ranjan Mathai.<br /><br />He told the media persons that the two-day meeting discussed matters related to terrorism and peace.<br /><br />'The issue of Abu Jindal was also raised by the Indian side and we have made it clear that State of Pakistan has no role in terror activities in India. We consider terrorism a common enemy.'<br /><br />"If we keep accusing each other, that will be of no benefit, and we will not find any result," he added. Jilani insisted that nothing should be allowed to prevent the peace process going forward.<br /><br />"There should be absolutely no setback, because a setback is something we cannot afford," he said.<br /><br />Speaking after his talks with Jilani, Mathai stressed that bringing those guilty for the Mumbai carnage to justice "would be the biggest confidence-building measure of all".<br /><br />"We shall pursue this matter to its logical conclusion," Mathai said of the Indian investigation into Sayed Zabiuddin Ansari's testimony.<br /><br />Mathai said Pakistan was provided more evidences regarding Mumbai attacks.<br /><br />The two top civil servants in their respective ministries held two days of talks in New Delhi to bolster a peace dialogue.<br /><br />The text of the joint statement issued after the two-day talks between Foreign Secretaries here:<br /><br />During the second-round of the resumed dialogue process, the Foreign Secretaries of India and Pakistan met in New Delhi on July 4-5, 2012 for bilateral talks on Peace and Security including CBMs, Jammu & Kashmir and Promotion of Friendly Exchanges.<br /><br />2. The talks were held in a frank and constructive atmosphere. Both sides reiterated their desire to carry forward the dialogue process in a purposeful and result-oriented manner.<br /><br />3. The issue of Peace and Security, including CBMs, was discussed in a comprehensive manner. Both sides emphasized the need to promote greater trust and mutual understanding through constructive dialogue.<br /><br />4. The Foreign Secretaries reviewed the ongoing implementation of the already adopted Nuclear and Conventional CBMs. It was decided that separate meetings of the Expert Level Groups on Nuclear and Conventional CBMs will be held to discuss implementation and strengthening of the existing CBMs and suggest additional mutually acceptable steps that could build greater trust and confidence between the two countries, thereby contributing to peace and security. The dates for the meetings of Expert Level Groups will be determined through diplomatic channels.<br /><br />5. The Foreign Secretaries noted that both countries recognize that terrorism poses a continuing threat to peace and security. They reaffirmed the strong commitment of the two countries to fight and eliminate terrorism in an effective and comprehensive manner so as to eliminate the scourge in all its forms and manifestations.<br /><br />6. The Foreign Secretaries had a comprehensive exchange of views on the issue of Jammu & Kashmir and agreed to continue discussions in a purposeful and forward looking manner with the view to finding a peaceful solution by narrowing divergences and building convergences.<br /><br />7. Both sides recognized the need to strengthen the existing Cross-LoC CBMs for streamlining the arrangements to facilitate travel and trade across LOC. They decided to convene a meeting of the Working Group on Cross-LoC CBMs on July 19, 2012 in Islamabad to recommend steps for strengthening, streamlining and effectively implementing the existing trade and travel arrangements and propose modalities for introducing additional cross LoC CBMs.<br /><br />8. Both sides underlined the importance of greater people to people contacts and friendly exchanges in building a relationship of trust and friendship between the two countries. They noted that the text of a revised bilateral Visa Agreement has already been finalized and decided to work for its early signing. They emphasized the importance of greater parliamentary exchanges; promotion of cooperation in various fields including facilitating visits to Religious Shrines; and cessation of hostile propaganda against each other.<br /><br />9. The Foreign Secretaries also emphasized the need to promote media and sports contacts.<br /><br />10. During his visit the Foreign Secretary of Pakistan will be calling on Minister of External Affairs of India, H.E. Mr. S.M. Krishna and National Security Adviser H.E. Mr. Shivshankar Menon.<br /><br />11. The Foreign Secretaries will meet again in Islamabad, on a date to be decided through diplomatic channels, to prepare for the meeting of the External Affairs/Foreign Ministers in September 2012.<br />

<strong>KARACHI: <u>A Pakistani fighter jet crashed in the south of the
country Tuesday while on routine training but the pilot ejected safely
and there were no casualties on the ground, an air force official said.</u></strong><br />
<br />
The French-built Mirage jet took off from the Pakistan Air Force’s
Masroor Base in Karachi and crashed near the town of Uthal in
southwestern Balochistan province, air force spokesman Squadron Leader
Mohammad Nadeem told AFP.<br />
<br />
Uthal is around 60 kilometres west of Karachi.<br />
<br />
“The pilot ejected successfully and safely,” the spokesman said,
adding the cause of the accident would be determined after an
investigation.<br />
<br />
No loss of civilian life or property was reported on ground, he said.<br />
<br />
It was the second Mirage aircraft crash in the region in a month. A
Mirage-V crashed on May 11 while its pilot ejected safely as well.<br />
<br />
The Pakistan Air Force has a fleet of Chinese aircraft including
F-7PGs and A-5s, plus US-built F-16s and French Mirages. It recently
acquired JF-17s Thunder jets, manufactured jointly by China and
Pakistan.</div>

India-US Defense Talks To Focus On China</h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta holds talks Wednesday with his Indian counterpart which are likely to be dominated by NATO's planned exit from Afghanistan and China's growing power.</b><br /><br />Panetta's two-day visit to New Delhi is part of a tour of the region that has stressed Washington's strategic shift to Asia, with US officials portraying India as an anchor for the new approach.<br /><br />In talks Tuesday with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Panetta "underscored the link India plays between East and West Asia and how the United States views India as a net provider of security from the Indian Ocean to Afghanistan and beyond", his press secretary George Little said.<br /><br />Panetta will meet Defence Minister A.K. Antony on Wednesday before giving a policy speech at the Institute for Defense Studies and Analyses.<br /><br />In his talks with Antony, Panetta was expected to discuss NATO's planned withdrawal of combat forces from Afghanistan by the end of 2014 as well an expanding arms trade and joint military training between the two countries.<br /><br />Indian officials are worried the departure of most of the US-led force could leave a dangerous vacuum in Afghanistan, and question if the Kabul government and its fledgling army will be able to fend off Taliban insurgents.<br /><br />US officials said Panetta was encouraging India to play a more active role in Afghanistan, despite Pakistan's deep suspicion of its arch-foe's motives in the country.<br /><br />Earlier on his nine-day tour through Asia, Panetta unveiled plans to shift the majority of the US naval fleet to the Pacific by 2020, a symbolic step meant to signal US determination to preserve its influence in the face of a rising China.<br /><br />Beijing said Monday the US naval plan was "untimely" and called on Washington to respect its interests in the region.<br /><br />The tilt towards Asia is designed mainly as a way to check China's role, particularly in the contested South China Sea, reinforcing US diplomacy in support of smaller nations locked in territorial disputes with Beijing.<br /><br />The US administration views India as a counterweight to China, though in public statements senior officials insist the new strategy is not meant as a challenge to Beijing.<br /><br />Panetta's visit follows India's successful test launch in April of a new missile capable of delivering a one-tonne nuclear warhead anywhere in China, marking a major advance in its military capabilities.<br /><br />India views the rocket, which has a range of 5,000 kilometers (3,100 miles), as a boost to its regional power aspirations and one that narrows - albeit slightly - the huge gap with China's missile systems.<br /><br />India is investing in military hardware to modernize its armed forces, and the United States has become one of its major arms suppliers, with $8.5 billion in sales over the past 11 years, according to the Pentagon.<br /><br />Panetta's trip coincides with two weapons deals that are close to being wrapped up.<br /><br />India has agreed to buy 145 howitzer guns from the US unit of British arms group BAE Systems in a deal worth $560 million. And India is close to clinching a $1.4 billion agreement to purchase 22 Apache attack helicopters manufactured by Boeing, US officials said. </div>

<strong>An airliner was forced to land shortly after takeoff
in Pakistan on Friday after a passenger made a hijack threat, Pakistan
International Airlines (PIA) officials said.</strong><br />
<br />
The domestic flight carrying more than 50 passengers and five crew
had left Karachi on its way to the eastern city of Bahawalpur, a
spokesman for the national flag-carrier said.<br />
<br />
“Soon after the plane took off a passenger on board warned the staff that he could hijack the plane,” Sultan Hasan told AFP.<br />
<br />
“The captain was informed of the situation, who returned the plane back after getting the nod from the control tower.”<br />
<br />
The passenger was detained and handed over to security personnel for
questioning, PIA said, and the plane was searched and found safe.<br />

Pakistan’s aviation industry has been in the spotlight after a Boeing

<b>Pakistan has successfully test-fired long-range Hatf IV (Shaheen 1A) missile which is a nuclear-capable intermediate-range surface-to-surface ballistic missile on wednesday.</b><br />
<br />
“Pakistan today successfully conducted the launch of the intermediate range ballistic missile Hatf IV Shaheen-1A weapon system,” ISPR said in a statement.<br /><br />According to a statement issued by the ISPR, the ‘Shaheen 1A’ missile is an upgraded version of the ‘Shaheen 1’ with a longer range.<br /><br />Shaheen 1 is estimated to have a payload capacity of 1,000 kilograms and a range of 750 kilometers. The exact range of the missile was not revealed, but retired General Talat Masood, a defence analyst, told AFP intermediate range ballistic missiles could reach targets up to 2,500 to 3,000 kilometers away, which would put almost all of India within reach.<br /><br />The test missile’s impact point was in the Indian Ocean.<br /><br />The ISPR statement further added that Director General Strategic Plans Division Lieutenant General Khalid Ahmed Kidwai was also present at the test site.<br /><br />Lieutenant General Kidwai congratulated scientists and engineers on the successful launch, and the accuracy of the missile in reaching the target and said that the improved version of Shaheen 1A would further consolidate and strengthen Pakistan’s deterrence abilities.<br /><br />Pakistan’s arsenal includes short, medium and long range missiles named after Muslim conquerors.<br /><br />Pakistan’s most recent missile test came last month with the launch of the short-range nuclear-capable Abdali, while in April 2008 it tested the Shaheen II, or Hatf VI, missile with a range of 2,000 kilometers.<br /><br />President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani congratulated the scientists working on the program over the success of the missile test.<br /><br />The launch comes days after India announced that it had successfully test-launched a new nuclear-capable, long-range missile. The Agni-V has a range of 5,000 kilometers.<br /><br />India’s missile test last week brought a muted international response, with China downplaying its significance, insisting the countries were partners not rivals, and Washington calling for “restraint” among nuclear powers.<br /><br />This was in sharp contrast to the widespread fury and condemnation that greeted North Korea’s unsuccessful test launch of a long-range rocket on April 13.</div>Waqas Ahmadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05977956224530027910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-798416270834706450.post-41372540875019099532012-04-23T00:47:00.001-07:002012-04-23T00:47:43.138-07:00Life Of a Siachen Soldiers<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Incident Of Siachen and Salala</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijYVsuidRrbO5_-jQBQ6F9s4RGgwZgX_1pcxoSKvYYtAYx-Bpe32gZqaYmREiaNaRAHMCnaJB7B0xiK92HYcoIlDji8MzzXlbFtkk2RkEuVdlUwNuvlPCLxhE6g9MFRqbZ81Qpuoey7VU/s1600/avalanche-tragedy-1333903848-8729.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijYVsuidRrbO5_-jQBQ6F9s4RGgwZgX_1pcxoSKvYYtAYx-Bpe32gZqaYmREiaNaRAHMCnaJB7B0xiK92HYcoIlDji8MzzXlbFtkk2RkEuVdlUwNuvlPCLxhE6g9MFRqbZ81Qpuoey7VU/s320/avalanche-tragedy-1333903848-8729.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
</h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Siachen incident has not only highlighted the need to revisit troop
deployment that pose a greater threat to them than the enemy does – for
both countries – but at the same time reveals to us the reality that
despite such a grave threat they have never uttered a single word of
complaint. In fact most of them have opted for Siachen voluntarily. The
probability of survivors is becoming remote as time passes by without
any tangible rescue work done in the catastrophe hit area.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The severity of weather conditions has made rescue work almost
impossible and those too who are involved in rescue operations face
similar danger. If an avalanche, where hundreds of soldiers of the
Pakistan army had to lose their precious lives, is what it takes for the
administration and public to realize what the soldiers undergo during
their duties, then the hardships endured by all those trapped under
layers of hard frozen ice will surely pay off.<br />
<br />
It goes a long way to show under what conditions a soldier of the
Pakistan army is operates either defending borders or fighting the
various enemies, harsh weather and natural calamities included.<br />
<br />
Ironic are not the conditions under which they work, but the fact
that they face relentless criticism from fellow countrymen that is
enough reason to dampen ones morale.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
The follies of a few at the highest order cannot be generalized upon
all ranks and can certainly not wipe away the sacrifices they have made
for the motherland and the people of this nation. The relentless
support of the nation is what they need to remain motivated and
encouraged so that they may keep defending the country.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
We can never repay their efforts but at least we can try to stand by
them by honouring their commitment and hard work instead of waiting for
another Siachen or Salala to realise that we are indeed fortunate to
have amongst us men of great stature who attain divinity by their
actions.<br />
<br />
They are the people who have ensured the existence of the country by offering the motherland their own.</div>

<b>A passenger plane of Bhoja Airline </b><span class="LabelNewsDescriptionDetailPage" id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_lblNewsDetail"><b>flight # B4-213</b></span><b> on Friday crashed near
Chaklala airbase due to bad weather</b><b>, killing around 118 passengers, Defence Ministry announced.</b><br />
<br />
<span class="LabelNewsDescriptionDetailPage" id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_lblNewsDetail">According to sources, a Boeing
737 with 118 passengers and nine crew members on board, which flew from
Karachi at 5:00 PM was supposed to land in Islamabad at 6:40 PM, but
crashed just before touchdown.<br />
<br />
According to sources in Civil
Aviation Authority, the flight was given clearance to land but it lost
contact with the control tower minutes before the crash reports.<br />
<br />
Rescue
teams including Pakistan army personnel have rushed to the crash site.<br />
<br />
Saifur
Rehman, an official from the police rescue team said the plane came
down in Hussain Abad village, about three kilometres (two miles) from
the main Islamabad highway.<br />
<br />
"Fire erupted after the crash. The
wreckage is on fire, the plane is completely destroyed. We have come
with teams of firefighters and searchlights and more rescuers are
coming," Rehman told Geo television.<br />
<br />
Rescuers say the plane's
wrecked fuselage was ablaze when they arrived at the site with dead
bodies and body parts strewn all over the place.<br />
<br />
Reportedly Bhoja
Airlines had bought this very aircraft from Shaheen Airlines after it
was scrpped by the latter for its compromised flight-worthiness.<br />
<br />
Ministry
of Defence and Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) have confirmed the
reports of crash.<br />
Inclement weather has been held responsible for
the crash.<br />
<br />
Bhoja Airline officials are yet unavailable for
comments.<br />
<br />
All hospitals in the twin cities of Islamabad and
Rawalpindi have been put on high alert after the crash.<br />
<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<b>AFP adds:</b> Saifur Rehman, an official from the police
rescue team said the plane came down in Hussain Abad village, about
three kilometres (two miles) from the main Islamabad highway.<br />
<br />
“Fire erupted after the crash. The wreckage is on fire, the plane is
completely destroyed. We have come with teams of firefighters and
searchlights and more rescuers are coming,” Rehman told a private
television channel.<br />
<br />
An airport source said that flight number BHO-213 of Bhoja Airline
was due to land at Islamabad airport at 6:50 pm (1350 GMT) but lost
contact with the control tower at 6:40 pm and crashed shortly afterwards
before reaching the runway.<br />
<br />
Plane crashes are relatively rare in Pakistan, where inter-city
travel is most efficient by air.<br />
<br />
In July 2010, an Airbus 321 passenger jet operated by the private
airline Airblue crashed into hills overlooking Islamabad while coming in
to land after a flight from Karachi, killing 152 people on board.<br />

<b>India is planning a test launch of a new ballistic missile
that can carry a nuclear warhead to the Chinese cities of Beijing and
Shanghai.</b><br />
<b> </b>
<br />
The test of the Agni-V missile is seen as a major step in India’s
efforts to become a regional power that can counter the dominance of
China.<br />
<br />
Defense Research and Development Organization spokesman Ravi Gupta
says the missile could be launched at any time from Wednesday evening
until Friday.<br />
<br />
The Agni-V is a three-stage missile designed to carry a 1.5-ton
warhead with a range of 5,000 kilometers .<br />
<br />
The Agni-III is India’s current longest-range missile and can cover a
distance of 3,500 kilometers.<br />
<br />
The weapons system was not developed to threaten any particular
country, said DRDO spokesman Gupta.<br />
<br />
“This is a deterrent to avoid wars and it is not country-specific,”
he said. “Besides, India has a no-first-use policy,” he said, calling
the country’s missile development programme “purely defensive.”The
planned test flight comes after India launched last November the Agni-IV
missile that can travel 3,500 kilometres and is capable of carrying a
one-tonne nuclear warhead deep inside China.<br />

India is among the world’s top 10 military spenders, with Jane’s
Defence Weekly forecasting its total purchases between 2011 and 2015
will top $100 billion.<br />

India has fought three wars with Pakistan since independence in 1947,
but China is now viewed as the main focus of India’s military concerns.<br />
<br />
The border between India and China has been the subject of
inconclusive diplomatic talks since the 1980s after the two nations
fought a brief, bloody war in 1962.<br />

Indian military analyst Afsir Karim said since the country already
has potential to strike China with the Agni-IV, the utility of the
latest missile was unclear.<br />
<br />
“I do not see any strategic value in developing this system except
for upgrading India’s military prestige,” Karim, a retired army

India staged a string of atomic detonations in 1998 and declared
itself a nuclear-weapons state but it refuses to sign the Nuclear

The country’s test plan has not attracted the international criticism
aimed at reclusive North Korea, which last week carried out a rocket

“<em>Corruption is one of the greatest challenges of the contemporary
world. It undermines good government, fundamentally distorts public
policy, leads to the misallocation of resources, harms the private
sector and <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_sector_development" rel="wikipedia" title="Private sector development">private sector development</a> and particularly hurts
the poor</em>”<br />
<br />
Like other developing countries, <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD9">corruption<span class="IL_AD_ICON"></span></span> is not new for Pakistan. It started
in an organized manner when some ‘smart’ migrants or refugees from India
at <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD12">the time of<span class="IL_AD_ICON"></span></span>
partition filed fake claims and got property allotted in their names in
collusion with some members of bureaucracy. Having that said, nobody
could raise a finger of accusation towards any of the seven Prime
ministers – Liaquat Ali Khan, Khawaja Nazimuddin, Muhammad Ali Bogra,
Ibrahim Ismail Chundrigar, Chaudhry Muhammad Ali, Hussain Shahid
Suharwardy and Feroz Khan Noon – so far as corruption is concerned. Of
course, they were criticized for entering into defense pacts with the US
and the West. <br />
<br />
Looking in hindsight, one could observe the meaninglessness of those
pacts, as the allies did not help during 1965 and 1971 wars. Coming back
to the subject, former President Ayub Khan and members of his cabinet
were clean. The eighth prime minister of Pakistan Z.A. Bhutto, who was
honest, kept an eye on members of his cabinet to control corruption.
Incidence of corruption, however, enormously increased during Zia era
when American dollars flooded the market in the name of Afghan jihad. It
is a matter of grave concern that corruption has deeply permeated in
every strata of our society. Anyhow, magnitude of corruption by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistan_Peoples_Party" target="_blank">PPP</a>
and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PML-N" target="_blank">PML-N</a> governments in 1990s had no parallel in the history of
Pakistan, and it paled before the corruption by some members of civil
and military bureaucracy. No wonder that the period was described as a
‘lost decade’, and it was in this backdrop that in 1996 Transparency
International had declared Pakistan as the second-most corrupt country
in the world. There is a perception that politicians invest in the
election process to get elected to the assemblies and to <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD6">enter<span class="IL_AD_ICON"></span></span>
into corridors of power. The major reason behind this widespread
corruption by the politicians and bureaucracy is that it is difficult to
control white collar crimes. And therefore, they invariably get away
with it and safely come out of the <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD7">scandals<span class="IL_AD_ICON"></span></span> without any punishment. Hardly, there
is any <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD8">political<span class="IL_AD_ICON"></span></span> eminence who got punishment for his
frauds or scandals during the last 64 years. If there is a will, it is
not difficult to unearth the cases of corruption and the assets held by
members of the ruling elite. And the easiest way is to compare their
income tax returns to see the manifold increase in their assets. But
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Board_of_Revenue_%28Pakistan%29" target="_blank">Federal Board of Revenue or Income tax</a> department cannot take any action against
these leaders because they are powerful.<br />
<br />
Musharraf government not to act tough because otherwise it would result
in flight of capital and the economy will collapse. Secondly, he cobbled
together a political party namely <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PML-Q" target="_blank">PML-Q</a> to get legitimacy. The problem
is that in sham democracies of developing countries, people can only
cast their votes, as even person from upper middle class cannot afford
to take part in elections. Mostly those who have amassed wealth through
illegal means can afford the luxury of participating in elections. Such
elements first invest to reach the corridors of power with a view to
increasing their wealth, and then they want to be re-elected to protect
that ill-gotten wealth. But there is need to take measures to stop
unethical and corrupt practices, and to block the corrupt elements’
entry to the corridors of power. But who can bell the cat, when a great
majority of the robber barons are sitting in the assemblies? They did
not pay taxes due, and opposed every move to impose income tax on income
from <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD4">agriculture<span class="IL_AD_ICON"></span></span>. Yet they lead luxurious lives on the
indirect taxes paid by the broad section of the people. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em>“The country was being eaten up with corruption and anti-social
activity at all levels. In all my recent travels in Asia I have nowhere
seen corruption quite so widespread, and going so high up, as I saw it
in Pakistan…” </em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The controversial <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Reconciliation_Ordinance" target="_blank">NRO</a> was promulgated by former president Pervez
Musharraf when late Benazir Bhutto insisted on ‘sterling guarantees’ to
come back to Pakistan to participate in elections, as she did not like
to be prosecuted and unseated later. The spirit behind the NRO was
indeed national reconciliation and the pretext was that the PPP and the
PML-N had instituted cases against each other as a tool of political
victimization and vendetta, and the cases were not decided by the courts
for <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD11">more than a<span class="IL_AD_ICON"></span></span> decade. After signing the Charter of
Democracy with late Benazir Bhutto, Mian Nawaz Sharif had said that the
cases instituted during their two stints were framed. Corruption has
indeed destroyed the moral fabric of the society, and is also
responsible for having brought the country to the brink of economic
disaster. The tiny elite, comprising jagirdars, industrial robber
barons, bureaucracy and rapacious politicians have kept <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD3">the complete<span class="IL_AD_ICON"></span></span>
control over the state, its resources and all levers of power. It
should be borne in mind that the semi-feudal, semi-colonial system can
neither be endured nor can it be salvaged by cosmetic measures, but only
through radical reconstruction <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD2">programme<span class="IL_AD_ICON"></span></span>.<em> </em></div>

The meeting between Pakistan President, Asif Ali Zardari and Indian
Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh in New Delhi have evoked a mixed response
from the pro- liberation and pro-India leaders of occupied Kashmir.
While pro-India leaders welcome talks, they stress on focusing the
discussions on the Kashmir conflict.<br />
<br />
President Zardari became the first Pakistani head of state since 2005
to visit India for a one-day trip. During a visit billed as private but
of great diplomatic significance, Zardari lunched with Indian Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh and invited him to visit Pakistan. </div>Waqas Ahmadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05977956224530027910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-798416270834706450.post-86002210811334677872012-04-07T14:27:00.006-07:002012-04-07T14:42:05.257-07:00Zardari and Pml-n relation<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto completed his early education from Bombay's Cathedral High School. In 1947, he joined the University of Southern California, and later the University of California at Berkeley in June 1949. After completing his degree with honors in Political Science at Berkeley in June 1950, he was admitted to Oxford.<br /><br />Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto married Nusrat Isphahani on September 8, 1951. He was called to Bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1953, and the same year his first child, Benazir Bhutto, was born on June 21. On his return to Pakistan, Bhutto started practicing Law at Dingomal's.<br /><br />In 1958, he joined President Iskander Mirza's Cabinet as Commerce Minister. He was the youngest Minister in Ayub Khans Cabinet. In 1963, he took over the post of Foreign Minister from Muhammad Ali Bogra.<br /><br />His first major achievement was to conclude the Sino-Pakistan boundary agreement on March 2, 1963. In mid 1964, Bhutto helped convince Ayub of the wisdom of establishing closer economic and diplomatic links with Turkey and Iran. The trio later on formed the R. C. D. In June 1966, Bhutto left Ayub's Cabinet over differences concerning the Tashkent Agreement.<br /><br /><br />Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto launched Pakistan Peoples Party after leaving Ayub's Cabinet. In the general elections held in December 1970, P. P. P. won a large majority in West Pakistan but failed to reach an agreement with Sheikh Mujib-ur-Rahman, the majority winner from East Pakistan. Following the 1971 War and the separation of East Pakistan, Yahya Khan resigned and Bhutto took over as President and Chief Martial Law Administrator on December 20, 1971.<br /><br />In early 1972, Bhutto nationalized ten categories of major industries, and withdrew Pakistan from the Commonwealth of Nations and S. E. A. T. O. when Britain and other western countries recognized the new state of Bangladesh. On March 1, he introduced land reforms, and on July 2, 1972, signed the Simla Agreement with India, which paved the way for the return of occupied lands and the release of Pakistani prisoners captured in East Pakistan in the 1971 war.<br /><br />After the National Assembly passed the 1973 Constitution, Bhutto was sworn-in as the Prime Minister of the country.<br /><br />
On December 30, 1973, Bhutto laid the foundation of Pakistan's first steel mill at Pipri, near Karachi. On January 1, 1974, Bhutto nationalized all banks. On February 22, 1974, the second Islamic Summit was inaugurated in Lahore. Heads of States of most of the 38 Islamic countries attended the Summit.<br /><br />Following a political crisis in the country, Bhutto was imprisoned by General Zia-ul-Haq, who imposed Martial Law on July 5, 1977.<br /><br />On April 4, 1979, the former Prime Minister was hanged, after the Supreme Court upheld the death sentence passed by the Lahore High Court. The High Court had given him the death sentence on charges of murder of the father of a dissident P. P. P. politician.<br /><br />Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was buried in his ancestral village at Garhi Khuda Baksh, next to his father's grave.<br /><br />

<b>ISLAMABAD: <u style="font-weight: normal;">President Asif Ali Zardari will pay a private
visit to India on April 8 to pray and pay respects at the shrine of
Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti in Ajmer.</u></b><br />
<u><b><br /></b></u><br />
President’s spokesman Farhatullah Babar told Dawn on Sunday that the
president had accepted Indian prime minister’s invitation for a lunch in
New Delhi during his stopover there on way to Ajmer Sharif.<br />
<br />
The president would return to Islamabad the same day, he added.<br />
<br />
Earlier, the spokesman told Dawn that it would be a purely religious
visit to pray at the shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti. But an official
announcement issued late in the night said that the president would
also be meeting the Indian prime minister. It will be the first visit to
India by Mr Zardari as president and the first by a Pakistani president
in seven years. Former president Gen Pervez Musharraf visited India in
2005.<br />
<br />
The spokesman said foreign secretaries of the two countries were
finalising arrangements for the visit.<br />
<br />
Agencies add: Lasting Pakistan-India peace is seen as vital to South
Asian stability and to smoothing a dangerous transition in Afghanistan
as most Nato combat forces prepare to withdraw by the end of 2014.<br />
The atmosphere between the two has improved after a flurry of
high-level meetings.<br />
<br />
New Delhi froze peace talks with Islamabad following terror attacks
in Mumbai in 2008 that left 166 people dead and which India blames on
Pakistan-based militants.<br />
<br />
In March last year, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and his Indian
counterpart Singh watched their countries’ teams play in the cricket
World Cup semi-final in India.</div>Waqas Ahmadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05977956224530027910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-798416270834706450.post-17758534282991596582012-04-03T11:03:00.000-07:002012-04-03T11:03:37.612-07:00Salman Taseer Incident<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Incident of Salmaan Taseer</h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In an interview with Meher Bukhari on Samaa TV, Taseer commented on his view about the country's blasphemy law and on filing a mercy petition for Asia Bibi who has been sentenced to death by a court under the Blasphemy Law.<br />In December 2010 Taseer was alleged to have left the country for several days without handing over charge to the Punjab Assembly Speaker. This meant that the province was without a constitutional head, and it also rendered the assembly speaker ineligible to preside over sessions. Leaving the province without informing his successor was in violation of the constitution and this led to Punjab Assembly Speaker Rana Muhammad Iqbal sending a letter to Prime Minister Gilani calling for the removal of Salmaan Taseer by the President.Evidence provided by ICAO on the governor's travel abroad, led to a case being filed in court for breach of the constitution.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
On January 4, 2011, one of Taseer's bodyguards, Malik Mumtaz Qadri, shot him 27 times with an MP5 sub-machine gun at Kohsar Market,near his home in Sector F6, Islamabad, as he was returning to his car after meeting a friend for lunch. Kohsar Market is a popular shopping and cafe spot for the city's elite and expatriates.Eight hours before his assassination, he tweeted an Urdu couplet by Shakeel Badayuni: "My resolve is so strong that I do not fear the flames from without, I fear only the radiance of the flowers, that it might burn my garden down."The next day, many people (mainly elite class) turned up for governor Salman Taseer's funeral in Lahore in spite of denunciation by some ( in fact majority of) clerics and religious scholars ( from all sects and groups) from mourning Taseer,Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and many supporters of the ruling PPP were seen attending the funeral prayer. The funeral prayers were finally led by Allama Afzal Chisti of the Ulema wing of the PPP after the chief cleric of the Badshahi Mosque, who had initially agreed to offer prayers, backed off at the last moment, saying he was going out of town.Taseer was buried at a military cantonment in Lahore.</div>

Therefore, the killer cannot be pardoned as he has committed a heinous crime by murdering the former governor.Mumtaz Qadri has the right to appeal against the verdict in the high court within seven days, his lawyers said. The case was heard by judge Pervez Ali Shah in Adiala Jail.Malik Mumtaz Hussain Qadri, one of Taseer's bodyguards, was charged with terrorism and murdering the governor on an Islamabad street on January 4, 2011.Qadri confessed to killing Taseer, saying he objected to the politician's calls to amend the blasphemy law, which mandates the death penalty for those convicted of defaming the Prophet Mohammad (SAWW). </div>

<br /></div>

He fearlessly stood up to the threats of extremists, and lost his life in defense of moderation and tolerance, values shared by most Pakistani citizens. The best way to honor his legacy is to continue resisting violent extremism and supporting the core principles on which Pakistan was founded." </div>

Committee (PAC), Saqib Pathan on Sunday by the police officials of the
Crime Investigation Department (CID) within the remit of Chakiwara
police station triggered protests across Lyari.<br />

<br />
Pakistan become an independent state in 1947, the realization of a yearning by India's Muslims, who feared domination by the Hindu majority in a postcolonial India. As the British made their final plans to surrender the "Jewel in the Crown" of their empire, the earlier, elite "Two Nations Theory," premised on the notion of a separate homeland for the subcontinent's Muslim minority, had broadened its popular appeal and evolved into a collective vision championed by Muslims of all backgrounds. After independence, a debate commenced among contending groups over further refinement of that vision. Agreement on what system of government the new nation should adopt--a critical aspect of the debate--was never fully reached. Indeed, few nations have in so short a period undergone as many successive political and constitutional experiments as has Pakistan. This irresolution contributed, in the decades following independence, to a recurrent pattern of crisis: repeated coups and extended periods in which martial law replaced civilian government, violent deaths of several national leaders, periodic strife among ethnic groups, and, most traumatically, a civil war that divided the country in two. <br />
