Authoritarianism or Democracy?
ZULFIKAR Ali Bhutto waged a long and hard struggle against Ayub Khan’s dictatorship. In retrospect one might say that, left to his own devices, he too would have opted for one-man rule — that is, his own. As head of the government he suffered democratic institutions and processes to the extent that he did for want of an option. He wanted his writ to prevail not only at the centre but in all of the provinces, and to that end he got rid of the NAP-JUI governments in Balochistan and NWFP, imprisoned their leaders, and manipulated the remaining local politicians so as to form PPP governments in these provinces. He had little tolerance for opponents or dissidents. I can think of none among them who did not end up in prison. But intolerance of the opposition was not something that Mr Bhutto had invented. It had been the order of the day before him and it did not cease with his departure from the nation’s political scene. Going beyond Ziaul Haq’s military dictatorship, we see that Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif instituted bogus criminal cases against each other and imprisoned each other and associates during their respective tenures as prime minister. Following their return from periods of exile abroad in 2007, they admitted their past “mistake”, and promised never to persecute their opponents again. We cannot say what Benazir would have done with this promise, for she died in December 2007. After the elections on Feb 18, 2008 her party formed the government at the centre and in Sindh and entered ruling coalitions in Balochistan and the NWFP. PML-N put together a coalition, including some PPP notables, to form the government in Punjab with Mr Shahbaz Sharif at its head. True to its tradition, the PPP could not accept the fact that another party had come to dominate the government in Punjab. Party stalwarts , spurred on by Governor Salmaan Taseer, worked to dislodge it. Then the wheel of fortune turned in their favour: the Supreme Court found the Sharif brothers to be ineligible to hold public office. Consequently, Shahbaz Sharif ceased to be a member of the Punjab Assembly and chief minister. The normal procedure in this situation would have been for the governor to summon the provincial assembly to elect a new chief minister. Instead, governor’s rule was imposed on the province. Leaders of several political parties and many other observers have condemned Mr Taseer’s action as improper. Mr Nawaz Sharif has called it an unconstitutional and unlawful act and asked civil servants and policemen not to obey the resulting government’s orders. He has also called upon the people to come out on the streets to protest and agitate against the Zardari regime. The people in fair numbers are coming out and a mass movement appears to be taking shape. The governor on his part showed no signs of relenting. Within minutes of taking charge he replaced the chief secretary and the inspector general of police with officers of his choice, He locked the entrances to the provincial assembly to prevent members from meeting, and they along with the speaker, have been holding sessions outside on the building’s steps and adjoining grounds. Mr Zardari’s government seems to be assuming that the people marching on the streets will get tired in a few days and go home. This may or may not happen. Mass movements have come and gone but some of them have persisted until their ends were achieved: for instance the anti-Ayub movement (1967-69); Sheikh Mujibur Rehman’s autonomy movement in East Pakistan (1969-71); anti-Bhutto movement (1977); Movement for the Restoration of Democracy (went on for several years to oust Ziaul Haq but fizzled out before his death); and the anti-Musharraf movement (2007-08). Mr Taseer’s partisans told us that governor’s rule was a temporary expedient, and that the assembly would soon be called to elect a new chief minister. The intervening period would give the PPP managers time to do a bit of horse-trading and put together a majority in the assembly and form the next government. That may happen but it will not necessarily bring public tranquillity to Punjab. It will probably be said that the PPP has taken power through crooked manipulation, that it is an expression of Mr Zardari’s unbounded and unprincipled pursuit of power, and that it does not mean well for Pakistan. Professions of peace on the part of those who sponsor mass movements may be sincere. Our experience shows that when people in large numbers come out on the streets they will not remain content with chanting endearing slogans. Orators will use their way with words, highs and lows of voice and body language to arouse them and call them to action. They will then set private cars and buses on fire, break windows and plunder stores, clash with the police, kill and get killed. Supporters of the present government brand Nawaz Sharif’s protest movement as the politics of confrontation that is liable to strain the country’s fragile democracy beyond endurance. This is specious reasoning. People protesting on the streets are a part of the democratic tradition. They are a needed warning to rulers that they cannot get away with arbitrariness and usurpation of the citizen’s fundamental rights. There are times when it is beyond the government’s capability to meet the protesters’ demand. That is not the case in Pakistan at this time. Reinstatement of Iftikhar Chaudhry, the deposed chief justice of Pakistan, along with the related issue of judicial independence, is the principal objective of the lawyers’ movement and their intended long march. The same objective informs the PML-N’s plan for a protest movement. Mr Nawaz Sharif says he will call off his movement if Justice Chaudhry is reinstated. It is thus open to Mr Zardari’s government to reinstate the gentleman, send the protesters home and return our city streets to peace and tranquillity. It is possible that Mr Zardari’s personal pride and stubbornness are keeping his government from making this simple move to resolve the current crisis. If that is indeed the case, it is an awful shame that this government has chosen to keep the country in turmoil merely to appease a single individual’s ego, even if he be the president of Pakistan.

A Series of Black Days
On Feb 25, a provincial assembly was holding its meeting and the governor of the province intervened by suspending the assembly on the orders of the head of the state. The point to be noted here is that the head of the state is co-chairman of a party which claims itself a custodian of democracy in Pakistan, projects itself as the largest party in Pakistan, preaches nothing but democracy, claims to have sacrificed for democracy more than once, and blah blah... The head of the state ignores the ongoing meeting of the provincial assembly, in which a new leader of the house was about to be selected, and orders the imposition of the Governor Rule in Punjab. The reason mentioned for this act was that the provincial government cannot be run constitutionally at this point in time. Which is not less than a joke, since the elected assembly was holding its meeting and the custodian of the house i.e. the Speaker had called for the next meeting as well. A few reasons for the imposition of the governor rule are obvious and a few are still hidden.One obvious reason is the wish of the PPP to rule the most populated province Punjab despite being a minority in the elected house as compared to the PML-N, i.e. approx. 29% seats as compared to the 46% of PML-N. By ruling Punjab, PPP can get (mis)use the resources of this province very effectively. The other reason is to sabotage the image of the PML-N and the Sharif Brothers by portraying them as the ppl responsible for the politics of agitation and the unrest in Punjab. Third and possibly the most important reason is to change the machinery of the Punjab Government so that the participants of the Long March can be dealt with. I am sure the PPP government will not hesitate to use the force against the peaceful and unarmed patriotic citizens of Pakistan. The hidden objectives of the governor rule cannot be identified so early, but the time will soon uncover the objectives. One thing I have noticed is the appointment of so many judges right after the imposition of the Governor rule. A recording by a DawnNews reporter clearly tells that these appointments are political.
A political process had started a little time ago, and a group of stubborn persons derailed the process. Institutions were getting stronger (the resolutions in the assemblies and the positive debates in the assemblies etc.) and the (elected) President exercised his (so called) right when there was no need to exercise it. It would have been better if the Governor had invited the PML-N the largest party in the Punjab Assembly to show the majority on the floor. The governor could also have invited the PPP+PML-Q to do the same if he thought that the PML-N has lost the majority now. But he didn't do that because, it was not the case :)
On March 03, 2009 our guests and the ambassadors of goodwill, the Sri Lankan cricket players were attacked. It was a moment of shock for me to hear that, and I was praying for the safety of all the Sri Lankan players. They are such a helping lot, so friendly and co-operative people that they visited us when the world was not ready to visit us due to the possible risk to their lives. Sri Lankan Cricket had always responded positively to our invitations. And an attack on these ambassadors left me in a mixed feeling of shame, regret, anger, shock and uncertainty. Sri Lankans had not even imagined that they'd be attacked. Neither did I ever imagined that any cricket player can be attacked in this way in Pakistan. Why did the Sri Lankans imagine that? Because there are no such attacks in past, which prompted them to believe that sportsmen are not the targets of the terrorists operating in Pakistan or Sri Lanka. Why did I believe that such an attack will not be carried out in Pakistan? Because I live here, I know the love for the sport in the hearts of Pakistanis. I know that the cricket is played and loved even in the northern and western parts of Pakistan. I know the trend of attacks in Pakistan, where South Asians are not usually attacked. I know the respect and love the Pakistanis have for the Sri Lankan cricketrs. Both crickets have very friendly relations. Whenever there is a defeat against Sri Lanka, I do not see any angry faces as I see them when India beats Pakistan. When Pakistanis love cricket, respect the Sri Lankans as a whole, then who can it be to attack the ties between the two countries? Who can benefit from this? Who wants to pollute the image of Pakistan? Lets see.
Can it be Pakistan itself???
No. Only fools will believe that. Pakistan is not irresponsible and stupid that it contaminate its own image and worsens its position in the world.
Can it be Taliban???
May be. But why would Taliban attack Sri Lanka? Sri Lanka was neutral in Afghan Wars. Sri Lanka is neutral in current 'War on Terror' against the Pukhtoons (Afghani and Pakistani) and Muslims. But lets not close this option because the Taliban might use this to destabilize Pakistan.
India???
Yes. Look at the potential benefits India can have from these attacks. India can single out Pakistan. India can further spoil Pakistan's image in the whole world. India can use this event to convince the world that Pakistan is a failed state. India can recommend the world to attack Pakistan and capture its nuclear assets, the biggest threat to the Indian at the moment. India can itself justify its attack on Pakistan for the same reason. India can further delay the dialogue with Pakistan on the outstanding issues like Kashmir and the dams on Pakistan's rivers. India can specifically point out to the Sri Lankans that even you should not visit Pakistan, because we are working on a plan to prove Pakistan the most dangerous place on the earth, and your visits are affecting our plan.
America??
May be. To destabilize Pakistan and pressurize it to work according to the American plan in Swat etc.
Can it be Tamil Tigers???
Yes, but do they have resources to do such an act in Pakistan? I believe, No. But we cann't be sure about that. Lets not close this option yet. If we believe that these were Tamil Tigers, then it becomes even more clear that India is involved. It is not a hidden thing who created n supported the Tamil Tigers (LTTE). Attacking through the LTTE is equivalent to killing two birds with one stone for India.
Whoever did that, the event was so evil and horrific that I am not out of the shock after three days of the event. I am still unable to believe that someone attacked the Sri Lankan cricketers in Pakistan, to be more specific in Lahore where you can see cricket even on roads and streets .
One interesting observation from my side is: After the Mumbai incidents last November, there was a sense of fear in the Indian people. On the other hand peace was returning to Pakistan for the last few days. India does not want peace and stability in any of its neighbours (Look at its influence on all its neighbours except China). So India had to strike and it did.

Amish - An orthodox tribe, unlike orthodox muslims, allowed to live their own style
Amish Country - Dos and Dont's When Visiting Amish Country
- Don't stare, gawk, or otherwise be disrespectful of the Amish.
- When driving, keep an eye out for slow-moving Amish buggies (especially at night), and give them plenty of room when following or passing. Keep headlights on low-beam and stay away from the horn, except for a short toot when passing, to avoid spooking the horses.
- Do not enter private property without permission.
- No photos or videos, please. Most Amish consider posing for photographs to be an unacceptable act of pride and do not allow pictures of themselves. The Amish will usually allow you to photograph their homes, farms, and buggies if you ask respectfully, but even this can be intrusive and is better avoided. If you must take pictures, consider a telephoto lens, and avoid taking any photos which include recognizable faces. A picture of the rear of an Amish buggy as it travels down the road probably won't offend anyone.
- Do not feed or pet horses that are tied to a hitching rail or harnessed to a buggy.
- Out of respect for their privacy, it is best to avoid approaching the Amish unless they appear open to company. They are just like you and don't really appreciate strangers knocking at their door. When you do have a need to approach a group of Amish, it is polite to speak to a male, if possible. If you are sincerely interested in talking to the Amish to learn more about their culture, then your best bet is to patronize an Amish-owned business and talk with the shopkeepers. Most Amish people enjoy talking with outsiders, if they don’t feel like they are regarded as animals in the zoo.
dont be direspectful to amish, but be curteous :) it is their lifestyle, let them live the way they want to live... let them prevent their children from goin to school... let them violate(or go against) the laws of their govt. when it comes to muslims, everyone wants to civilize the ' uncivilized and barbarian fundamentals' if they want to live as per their understanding of their religion under their cultural obligations.

Deal acceptable in Afghanistan, not in Pakistan: US
Full story on Deal acceptable in Afghanistan, not in Pakistan: US -DAWN - Top Stories; February 21, 2009By Anwar Iqbal
WASHINGTON, Feb 20: The United States has rejected the truce in Swat but US Defence Secretary Robert Gates said on Friday that Washington could accept a similar agreement between the government and Taliban militants in Afghanistan.
The US rejection was conveyed by its special envoy Richard Holbrooke who called President Asif Ali Zardari on Thursday evening to tell him that the Swat deal was tantamount to surrender by Pakistan.
Later, Mr Holbrooke told CNN that the Pakistani leader had assured him that the Swat deal was only an “interim arrangement” to stabilise the restive region and that he had not yet signed an agreement with the militants.
In a separate briefing on Friday, Defence Secretary Robert Gates told reporters in Poland that the United States could accept a political agreement between the Afghan government and Taliban rebels along the lines of the Swat deal.

Liberal Fascism
DAWN - Editorial; February 11, 2009By Nick Cohen
IT is undeniable that the best way to have avoided complicity in the horrors of the last century would have been to have adopted the politics of Jonah Goldberg, author of Liberal Fascism.
Much can be said against moderate conservatives, but it has to be admitted that their wariness of grand designs and their willingness to place limits on the over-mighty state give them a clean record others cannot share.
Few of Goldberg’s contemporaries will grant him the same courtesy. He lives in a western culture where “smug, liberal know-nothings, sublimely confident in the truth of their ill-informed opinions” accuse him of being “a fascist and a Nazi” simply because he is a conservative. Meanwhile, the heart-throb-savant George Clooney can assert that “the liberal movement morally has stood on the right side”.
Behind the insults and the self-righteousness is the assumption that politics runs on a continuum from far left to far right. Goldberg sets out to knock down this false paradigm and show that much of what Americans call liberalism, and we call leftism, has its origins in fascism.
Liberal Fascism is not a clean blow to the jaw, but a multiple rocket launcher of a book that targets just about every liberal American hero and ideal. The title comes from H.G. Wells, the most strenuous intellectual advocate of totalitarianism on the early-20th-century British left. “I am asking for a Liberal Fascisti,” he told the Oxford Union in 1932, “for enlightened Nazis. The world is sick of parliamentary democracy. The Fascist party is Italy. The Communist is Russia. The Fascists of liberalism must carry out a parallel ambition of a far grander scale.”
Wells saw no difference between communism and fascism and Goldberg puts a compelling case that neither should we. Mussolini began as a socialist agitator. The Nazis were a national socialist party which despised bourgeois democracy and offered a comprehensive welfare state.
I agree that all totalitarianisms are essentially the same, and that far leftists combined with far rightists in the 1920s and 1930s and are doing so again now. But I had difficulties with Goldberg’s concept of totalitarian unity. Communists killed different people to fascists. If you were a peasant farmer in Nazi Germany, Mussolini’s Italy or Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, they allowed you to live — as long as you did not cross them.
In America, flustered liberal critics have had far greater difficulty with the notion that they and their predecessors are the inheritors of ideas that began in the fascist movement. Goldberg certainly leaves them little left to be proud of as he provides an alternative history of an America that Simon Schama lacks the intellectual courage to confront.
He begins with Woodrow Wilson and shows that before Mussolini came to power, a Democratic president imposed a militarised state. When America entered the First World War, the progressives of the day used the conflict as an excuse to arrest dissidents, close newspapers and recruit tens of thousands of neighbourhood spies.
Beginning with the Black Panthers, multiculturalism has also placed racial and religious identity above all else and beyond the reach of rational argument. Fascism was a pagan movement, whose mystic tropes are repeated by new age healers, vegetarians and greens.
Repeatedly he insists that he does not want to allege that, for instance, Hillary Clinton’s admittedly sinister desire for the state to take the place of the family makes her a totalitarian, merely that her ideas come from the totalitarian movement.
Liberal Fascism is a bracing and stylish examination of political history. That it is being published at a time when Goldberg’s free market has failed and big government and charismatic presidents are on their way back in no way invalidates his work. Hard times test intellectuals and, for all its occasional false notes, Goldberg’s case survives. n

Distant planet is ‘an orbiting hell’
PARIS, Jan 28: Astronomers have observed a planet some 200 light years from Earth that, for a few hours, becomes 700 degrees Celsius hotter every time its elliptical orbit brings it close to its sun.
The scientists, in a study released on Wednesday, said they had generated the most realistic images ever captured of the exoplanet, the name given to planets outside our Solar System.
They used infrared data collected from Nasa’s space-based Spitzer telescope to gain pictures of a strange world exposed briefly to an inferno.
One image shows a thin blue crescent on the “dark” side of the planet, opposite its star, while the scorched side glows a deep, crimson red.
Known as HD80606b, the planet is a giant ball of gas that has four times the mass of Jupiter, the biggest planet of our system.
Researchers led by Gregory Laughlin of the University of California at Santa Cruz analysed data collected in November 30 hours before, during and after HD80606b’s closest approach to its star.
From the telescope’s vantage point, the planet passed behind the star — an event called a secondary eclipse — just before reaching its maximum temperature of 1,227 C (2240 F), hotter than molten lava.
It was an unexpected stroke of luck, making it possible to measure the exact temperatures of the star and the planet separately.
“This is the first time that we’ve detected weather changes in real time on a planet outside our solar system,” said Laughlin. “The results are very exciting because they give us important clues to the atmospheric properties of the planet.”
As the atmosphere heats up and expands, it produces fierce winds — moving at five kilometres per second — that flow away from the day side towards the night side.
The planet’s rotation causes the winds to curl up into large-scale storm systems that gradually peter out as temperatures cool, Laughlin said.
HD80606b swings around its sun in an elliptical orbit every 114 Earth days. It is one of about a dozen so-called “hot Jupiter” extra-solar planets which spin on their axes in such a way that the same surface is always facing their respective stars.
The photo-like images were generated by a computer programme that calculated the colour and intensity of light coming from the glowing planet.
“These images are far more realistic than anything that’s been done before for extra-solar planets,” said UCSC researcher Daniel Kasen, who developed the programme.
When closest to its star, the sunlight beating down on the planet is more than 800 times stronger than at the far end of its egg-shaped orbit.—AFPDistant planet is ‘an orbiting hell’ -DAWN - Top Stories; January 29, 2009

Recent Israeli offensive destroys rest of the palestinian economy
ISRAELI forces used aerial bombing, tank shelling and armoured bulldozers to eliminate the productive capacity of some of Gaza’s most important manufacturing plants during their 22 days of military action in the Gaza Strip.
The attacks, like those which destroyed an estimated 20,000 homes leaving some residential areas resembling an earthquake zone and more than 50,000 people in temporary shelters, destroyed or severely damaged 219 factories, Palestinian industrialists say. Leaders of Gaza’s business community — who have long stayed aloof from the different Palestinian political factions — say that much of the three per cent of industry still operating after the 18-month shutdown caused by Israel’s economic siege has now been destroyed.
Chris Gunness, chief spokesman for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, said that widespread destruction of “civilian economic infrastructure” was a strike “at the heart of the peace process” because “economic stability is an essential component of a durable peace.”
While the main impact of the destruction is likely to be on the already politically fraught prospects of medium to long-term reconstruction in Gaza, it will not make efforts to help Gaza’s many stricken and displaced residents any easier.
It is those humanitarian relief efforts for which the main British aid agencies are appealing for help in the advertisement so far barred by the BBC. The Unrwa is meanwhile separately pressing donors for $345m for immediate repairs to homes still standing and to its own damaged premises.
The destroyed factories include: Alweyda, the biggest Palestinian food-processing plant and the only one still operating in Gaza until the war; Abu Eida, the largest, and now flattened, ready-mixed concrete producer; and the 89-year old Al Badr flour mills, which have the biggest storage facilities anywhere in the Strip.
The owners of all three said on Saturday they were proud of their close and long-standing contact with Israeli partner firms and suppliers. Dr Yaser M Alweyda, owner and engineering director of the demolished food-processing plant estimated the total damage to his plant at $22.5m and accused Israel of wanting “to destroy the weak Palestinian economy”. He added: “They want to ensure that we will never have a state in Palestine.”
The air and ground strikes have compounded the impact of the total 18-month trade embargo, which Israel imposed in June 2007 after the civil war between Hamas and Fatah ended in the collapse of the short-lived coalition between the two rival factions and Hamas’s enforced takeover of the strip.
Amr Hamad, executive manager of the Palestinian Federation of Industries, said: “What they were not able to reach by the blockade, they have reached with their bulldozers.” He added: “Businessmen are not connected at all to Hamas and are very pragmatic and open-minded.
“They are the last layer in Palestinian society who believe in peace and the importance of the economy. They also believe that the only economic link should be with Israel,” Mr Hamad said.
Meanwhile the Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, told his cabinet that with “typical moral acrobatics” the “terrorist organisations” were trying to lay the blame on Israel, and that “the State of Israel did everything in order to avoid hitting civilians.” Israel would ensure that soldiers and officers who took part in the operation would be safe from any tribunals investigating them, he said.
At the Al Badr mills in Sudaniya, north of Gaza City, owner Rashed Hamada, 55, said the company had been making wheat flour for bakeries right up until the attack on Jan 10. He strongly denied that his compound had been used by Hamas gunmen, and said it was clear the production line itself had been the target.
“It seems that the father of the commander had owned a flour mill,” he commented ironically. “He knew exactly where to hit. The Israelis .... used to encourage me to expand production here. Now they have destroyed it. I don’t understand why.”
Standing beside mangled and incinerated refrigeration vans and the burned-out ruins of his food factory and warehouses, located for ease of access to Israel between the eastern Gaza City district of Shajaia and the border 650 metres away, Dr Alweyda said that as well as the production lines, 26 vehicles had been destroyed.
The company, sole Gaza agent for Israeli milk products company Tnuva, had managed to keep biscuit production going up until the outbreak of war. The Israeli military said that it was still investigating allegations of civilian casualties and property damage.

Columbus' Mistake
THE next day after winning the Senate Foreign Committee’s vote, Senator Hillary Clinton while outlining her preferences said America needs the support of the world and the world needs American support.DAWN - Letters; January 21, 2009
This reminded me of a paragraph from Urdu ki akhri kitab, a book written by Ibne Insha, a short story writer and humourist. The paragraph says it all, “Earlier, there were nations in the world living in peace and harmony but Columbus discovered America. People say Columbus discovered it by mistake, if it is so it was his greatest mistake as he has departed but we are still paying for his mistake”.

A message of tolerance to MQM
THIS is apropos of your editorial, ‘Bloodshed once more’ (Dec 2). While expressing concern about the violence in Karachi, you have correctly observed that the MQM chief Altaf Hussain’s warnings about the possible Talibanisation of this city wasn’t the right thing to do.DAWN - Letters; December 07, 2008
Also, that, undoubtedly, one of the reasons behind his warnings could be the migration to Karachi of a large number of refugees from Fata. You are also right in noting that there is no evidence that all of them are arriving here or that none of them intends to return home after things return to normality.
Perhaps this is the reason for the concern of the MQM leadership. Actually they do not want the demographic balance to shift to their disadvantage. However, they are reminded that some among them and all their elders had come to Sindh as migrants from India, a large part of the city’s populace, including my family, are ‘muhajirs’ in this sense.
Therefore, if our unfortunate brethren from a battle zone of their own country wish to find shelter with their relatives, friends or acquaintances settled in another part of the country, it is not proper for us to object to that.
Emerson had said: “It is a beautiful compensation of life that we cannot help another without being helped ourselves”. Hence, whichever way one looks at it, ultimately it will be to our own advantage (if one must view it in business terms) to help these uprooted, destitute and desperate folks, many of whom have lost their family members and relatives.
Such a selfness and humane approach will definitely increase the goodwill and tolerance between communities and lead to peace and prosperity for the city, province and country. If we can tolerate millions of folks from Bangladesh, Afgahnistan, Burma and other places, why must we turn Pakistanis away?

Humble vs Aggressive approach
NEW DELHI, Dec 7: Indian Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee said on Sunday that claims he had made a threatening telephone call to President Asif Ali Zardari over the recent terror attack on Mumbai were false and intended to divert the world’s attention from New Delhi’s case that a Pakistan-based terrorist group had planned the assault.
“I have seen several misleading stories about a hoax telephone call from me to President Zardari of Pakistan,” Mr Mukherjee said in a statement a day after the Indian foreign ministry said the affair was unworthy of comment.
“We were informed by friends from third countries that Pakistan President Zardari believed that he had received a threatening telephone call from me on Nov 28, after the attack on Mumbai. We immediately clarified to those friends, and we also made it clear to the Pakistan authorities, that I had made no such telephone call,” Mr Mukherjee said. He was commenting on a report in Dawn on Saturday, which was picked up by several Indian dailies. Mr Mukherjee said his last and only conversation with President Zardari was in Islamabad during a visit to Pakistan in May.
He said the only telephone conversation he had with a Pakistani leader since the attack on Mumbai was on the evening of Nov 28 when he spoke to Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi when the visitor was addressing a press conference at the Women’s Press Club in New Delhi.
“It is, however, worrying that a neighbouring state might even consider acting on the basis of such a hoax call, try to give it credibility with other states, and confuse the public by releasing the story in part. I can only ascribe this series of events to those in Pakistan who wish to divert attention from the fact that a terrorist group operating from the Pakistani territory planned and launched a ghastly attack on Mumbai.”
The Hindu said on Sunday that, while the Indian foreign ministry had refused to comment on the hoax call, it believed “the thinking within the Indian foreign office is that such disinformation stories could only mean that Inter-Services Intelligence’s dirty tricks department is very much at work. The ISI and the army are trying to divert internal and external attention from their complicity in Mumbai terror and thereby clawing their way into public acceptability in Pakistan.” The newspaper did not quote any source for its report.
“The Indian foreign office is of the view that even to dignify such a disinformation campaign with a comment or denial would mean helping the rogue elements within the Pakistani establishment. The foreign office’s anticipation, though, is that these elements would muddy the waters and the world would see more such acts of disinformation,” it said.“New Delhi is aware that the ISI will continue to make attempts to sow misinformation to bring about a situation in which western countries would lose sight of the main issue at hand -- bringing to book the culprits responsible for the Mumbai blasts and dissuading elements from planning terror attacks -- in favour of an approach that says: ‘Okay little boys, stop fighting.’”
‘Hoax call’ claim termed diversionary -DAWN - Top Stories; December 08, 2008
this is another illustration of offensive approach! ... might is right... no proof provided whtsoever and india still keeps defaming ISI... they have a phobia, i m sure tht ignoring their local extremist elements will hurt them later on... i m not sure how long can they fool their ppl by always blaming pakistan
i still recommend pakistan to respond properly i.e. aggressively instead of being polite n down to earth...

US urges Pakistan to cooperate with India 'or else to face the use of force :)'
US intelligence officials, while talking to the US media, confirmed India’s claim that Lashkar-i-Tayyaba was involved in the Mumbai attacks.US urges Pakistan to cooperate with India -DAWN - Top Stories; December 03, 2008
They said that British intelligence agents had recorded conversations between the attackers and their backers in Pakistan.
In an editorial on Tuesday, The Washington Post also backed India’s claim that the LeT was behind the attack.
“The best way to salvage Pakistani democracy, and to prevent a slide toward war between two nuclear powers, is for Islamabad to shut down LeT and similar organisations swiftly, permanently and verifiably,” the Post wrote.
Also, a Post columnist, Robert Kagan, who is a senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment, Washington, suggested placing the tribal belt and the areas where terrorist groups allegedly had their bases under international control.
He suggested forming an international force to invade those areas and destroy the bases. Mr Kagan urged the US to convince China and Russia not to oppose the creation of such a force if and when the proposal goes to the United States.
He acknowledged that forming such a force to invade Pakistani territories would violate the country’s sovereignty but argued that “Pakistan and other states that harbour terrorists should not take their sovereignty for granted. In the 21st century, sovereign rights need to be earned.”
At the State Department, deputy spokesman Robert Wood said: “We’re going to continue to work with India and Pakistan … and to see what we can do to prevent these types of attacks from taking place and, of course, to get to the bottom of who carried out these attacks and bring those culprits to justice.”
presure building on pakistan... for no reason!!! i still think pakistan needs to be more aggressive in order to earn its sovereign rights
Karachi braves more violence, 24 arrested
DAWN.COM | Sindh | Karachi braves more violence, 24 arrestedThe clashes broke out on Saturday between fringe elements within the city's Urdu-speaking community and ethnic Pashtuns from northwest Pakistan.
However, political leaders of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) - the major political party in Karachi which represents many Urdu-speaking residents - and the Awami National Party (ANP) - which represents many ethnic Pashtuns - continued to condemn the violence and blame it on 'hidden elements.'
MQM minister Shoaib Bukhari told PPI that the 'involvement of hidden elements in this phenomenon can not be denied.'
According to Reuters, some commentators in Pakistan have raised the possibility of Indian instigation of the violence in Karachi as a response to last week's militant assault in Mumbai, which India has linked to Pakistan.
Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif said he was surprised by the timing of the Karachi violence.
'The killings in Karachi erupted suddenly after the Mumbai incident,' Sharif told reporters. 'I'm surprised how it erupted all of a sudden ... I think this needs to be looked in to thoroughly, which forces are involved in it.'
For the most part, violence has remained restricted to certain areas of the city such as Orangi Town, Sohrab Goth, Malir and to a lesser extent Gulistan-i-Jauhar.
However, many residents continue to be gripped by fear as a result of widely circulated yet unverified reports of violent mutilations being conducted by the rioters.
City police chief Waseem Ahmed said four people were killed in different incidents in the early hours of Tuesday but the city had been mostly calm since then.
'There has been no major incident since the morning,' Ahmed told Reuters.
At least 47 people have been killed and over 200 injured since Saturday, according to a tally of reports from police and hospitals.
Rivals fought gun battles and burned shops and cars in several parts of the city of 15 million people over the weekend and more disturbances erupted on Monday.
Indian commandos killed Jews, says Israeli rescue group -DAWN
NEW DELHI, Dec 2: A private rescue group from Israel has claimed that Indian commandos inadvertently killed some of the hostages in the terror attacks in Mumbai, and the claim has evidently embarrassed both governments, news reports said on Tuesday.
“Based on what I saw, (although) I can’t identify the type of bullets in the bodies (of the victims), I don’t think the terrorists killed all the hostages, to put it gently,” Mr Haim Weingarten, head of the six-member team of Zaka voluntary organisation dealing with rescue and recovery, told The Jerusalem Post.
Press Trust of India said from Jerusalem that the claim had embarrassed the Israeli government, which is worried about its fallout on ties with the Indian government.
According to PTI, Mr Weingarten told the Post from Mumbai that all the six Jewish and Israeli hostages found dead in the Chabad House were killed by either gunshot wounds or shrapnel from grenade blasts, or both, and that he didn’t know who threw or fired the grenades that wounded the hostages.
Although lacking forensic tools to determine the time of death, Mr Weingarten was quoted as saying that his team’s observations led him to believe that “some of the hostages were killed on Wednesday (when gunmen first entered the building), some on Thursday, and some on Friday morning (during the start of the commando raid)”.
Zaka officials believe that in a final act of love, the director of the Chabad House, Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg, wrapped the body of his wife Rivka in a tallit (prayer shawl) before succumbing to his own wounds during the final hours of the siege, it said.
The volunteers on the scene found the bodies of Israeli grandmother Yocheved Orpaz (62) and Jewish Mexican national Norma Shvarzblat Rabinovich (50) bound to one another with a phone cord.
Meanwhile, the Indian foreign ministry held a briefing “to convey the deepest condolences of the Government of India to those countries whose nationals were killed in the terrorist attack in Mumbai.” Heads of mission from these countries were present in the briefing. “They were also informed of details of the terrorist attack and the investigation so far,” the ministry said.
Possibly following the briefing, the Israeli government slammed the Zaka group for alleging that Indian commandos might have inadvertently killed one or more Jewish hostages during the Nariman House operation, saying the “irresponsible” comments could cause considerable damage to bilateral ties.
“They are causing all kinds of problems,” a senior Israeli foreign ministry official said about the six-member team of the Zaka voluntary group that flew on Thursday “on its own volition” to Mumbai for a rescue operation after the deadly terror strikes.
“They are selling all kinds of stories to journalists looking for stories, and taking credit for things they didn’t do,” the official told The Jerusalem Post. It remains a mystery why India has allowed a clearly unauthorised group from Israel to carry out its self-styled rescue at the site of a mind-boggling crime. Usually such sensitive sites are sealed off to visitors till official investigations are underway.
Commandos killed Jews, says Israeli rescue group -DAWN - Top Stories; December 03, 2008
i dont know why the world reacts so belligerently if indian forces are blamed... and at the same time the world asks pakistan to be calm and cooperating when pakistan or its departments are blamed without evidence...
i am also thinking why are such blames on indian forces called irresponsible comments, but none of the comments by the indian govt. officials have yet been labeled as 'irresponsible' by the international community???

Indian Militancy and its Blame Game
in response to a few indians who claim india to have never played a role in insurgency???
see
"The Indian diplomat G. Parathasarathy admitted supporting terrorism in Sri Lanka. He synically recorded his confession “We have learnt our lesson” for backing the terrorist and that “India paid it price for backing the LTTE“. India has not paid a price for the atrocities committed by the LTTE. It needs to pay the price and call the dogs of war off. India is not doing that."

and this
"In one of the biggest defeats of Indian foreign policy since it was thrown out of Sri Lanka, the Indian Intelligence services that supported the Indian based Tamil Tigers face imminent annihilation. President Rajapaksa of Sri Lanka has reasons to be optimistic. The international rules of the game have changed. India in the 80s wanted to impose a Cypriot like bifurcation of Sri Lanka an Indian beached for the Tamils which would allow India influence to extend to Colombo. Nothing less than total capitulation to New Delhi was acceptable. In 2008 China is building a port in Sri Lanka. Pakistan is supply arms to the legal government of Sri Lanka that happens to be Sinhalese. These arms have had a tremendous impact on the Sri Lankan civil war, and Pakistanis will stand on the podium along with the Sri Lankan brothers and sisters to celebrate the victory of the unification of the island and defeat of Indian imperialism"

bloody indians shld stop polluting Pakistan's image and look into ur own backyard... dude actually India has dug its own grave... they supported militants n insurgents for so long n most of them have now turned against them...

"Unfortunately for India, the controversial Indo-Sri Lankan Accord of July 1987 proved to be as much of a failure as India’s policy of direct intervention. The result was India’s massively assisted LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam) turned on its benefactor and declared war against the Indian forces in Sri Lanka. All in all, this Indian adventure killed 60,000 men, women and children and forced the Indians to withdraw their forces without successfully completing their mission. The price has been steep for both India and Sri Lanka and even today Sri Lanka is paying the price for this Indian-initiated and RAW inspired polarised conflict. The extent of RAW’s role in this affair has been painstakingly documented by Gunaratna in his book on the Indian intervention."

Currently there are militants movements going on throughout india. India has around 600 districts out of which more than 200 districts have their sepratist movements. Every year thousand of people die in india in result of clashes between these movements and indian government. None of these movement has any link to PAkistan.
india has so many terrorist movements in their homeland and still they are blaming on Pakistan without having any evidence.
india shys away from the responsibility by blaming pakistan... since this seems an easier option :)
has the indian economic growth been able to provide enough food and shelter to the ppl of india??? A Big NO!!! indian poor is poorer than pakistani poor... go check any stats...
it is just the matter of time now... indian militants will soon fight each other like hell.... they'll kill each other soon, pakistani agencies need not do anything against them...

“911″ tragedy everday for Lanka & Pakistan: Gifts from Indian RAW
PAKISTAN FACES A 911 every day. In the 80s, RAW, and KGB destroyed Bori Bazaar and 300 died. This week dozens were killed in the heart of the caiptal. “911″ was a tectonic event for the United States and rest of the world. The event showed the world the horrors of terror.

India RAW attacks Marriot at Islamabad
The peaceful people of the Indus Valley have been rocked by explosions by Indian operatives. In the 80s, during the Soviet occupation of Pakistan, Indian RAW, Russian KGB and the Afghan Khad had a field day in Pakistan. While Reagan was announcing “Mr. Gorbachev bring down this wall”, the USSR wsabeing gutted from the inside out in Afghanistan. Pakistan was the frontline state. As such she bore the brunt of the Soviet and Indian sabotage. 300 people died in Bori Bazar in Karachi. Islamabad Pakistan Marriot: What was the US Marine role?
On the 23rd of December Pakistan faced its 911. Indian agents brought down the Marriott. Other bobms exploded by RAW agents and their apparatchiks in 2008 are listed below.
The incredible amount of planning based on detailed “casing” (sophisticated observation, research, and analysis of traffic patterns, routes, weaknesses and strenghts) of the target, the amount of TNT and incindiary material used, the expenses incurred on accumalating the explosives, and the sophistication and planning of the attack points to state machinery and organizations like RAW which can carry out such carnage. No FATA cave dweller has the capacity to organize, plan, and execute an attack of this magnitude. This has the fingerprints of RAW all of it
The purpose of the attacks was to:
1) Demoralize the nation
2) Take revenge for the defeats in Afghanistan
3) To hide the Kashmiri problems
4) Possibly decapitate the entire parliamentary and political leaders of the country (at the party that was happening at the spot)
Indian imperialism using RAW to destabilize all neighbors. There has been the Indian angle in Baluchistan. The Indian consulattes have been using the Baluch “nationalist” terrorists to create problems for Pakistan and malign the patriotic Pakistanis. Mr. Hamid Karzai, threatened by the “talibaan” has several times issued veiled threats against Pakistan. The Red Mosque and other related matters are part of the Indian-Afghan nexus supported by other anti-Pakistan forces which may want to threaten the government in Pakistan to relieve pressure on Kabul and Srinagar Osama Bin Laden turned against his benefactors.The explosion in Islamabad is to put pressure on Pakistan by derailing the economic progress. Already the Indians have cut off the water supplies by stealing Pakistani waters from the Chenab. RAW facts on South Asia- India fails to occupy countries.
With delusions of world power, and hallucinations of absorbing all the neighboring countries (Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Nepal, Bangladesh) India is trying to destabilize Pakistan. India as World Power 1

The world has presented copious monographs against a deleterious Neocon philosophy used as an excuse to wage The New Crusades Against Islam (TNCAI).

Taliban Statement issued on Jan. 30th, 2008. “We have been fighting for Afghanistan’s independence against foreign aggression since 2001 [when the Taliban were ousted] and the Afghan nation has a lot of hopes resting on us. That’s why they have stood with us against the foreign military might. They are not supporting us to fight with Pakistan, but to fight against the US-led NATO [North Atlantic Treaty Organization] forces and liberate Afghanistan,” Zabihullah Mujahid said. He said the Taliban had already issued a statement disowning Baitullah on their website (http://www.alemarah.i67.org).
However a small splinter group led by Mr. Mehsud has now turned its guns on Pakistan. Why is Mr. Bait Mehsud with his new organization “Tehrik e Taliban” now attacking Pakistan? These rhetorical questions were asked for effect.

Hands off Pakistan is the slogan on the Pakistan news media. Selective amnesia of Americans. Pakistan is the most mistreated friend of America. The post Benazir era must be different.
