Civil Society Pleads for Peace

Re: # 62

dost miattar ji,

... until and unless india agrees to resolving the 'core' issue all this nonsense about improving relations is just that - nonsense! .......

Beena:

I was searching in the article for any protest by peace committees against LeT or a demand by any of these organizations to demand that organizaitons like JeM or LeT not be allowed to come up under new names. Instead, I saw inane statements like ""It is only the weapons manufacturers and sellers who want this, because that is the only way they can sell their wares," he told IPS. "That is what is blocking the road to peace. We must call for disarmament and remove these road blocks." What has disarmament to do with terrorist attacks?

When I arrived in Islamabad, I came across attractive advertisements for internet and TV packages and immediately applied for one.

A courteous lady at customer service promised to deliver the package in less than a week.

The capital does not have the same chaos as other cities

But it took two weeks to arrive.

And when engineers did come over to set up the connection, they immediately ran into trouble. The TV came on, but the internet line would just not connect.

It took four hours to discover that someone else was using my username and password even before I could log on. I was shocked.

The engineers then did a strange thing, which they didn't tell me about. They logged me on through someone else's username and password, and left.

I discovered this three days later, when my internet went down.

So much for the integrity of the pakis.

Bajaur's IDPs – our wretched of the earth
Tuesday, January 20, 2009
Farhat Taj

I spend a whole day with the internally displaced people, IDPs, from Bajaur in a camp near Peshawar. I went from tent to tent to meet the traumatized families and to listen to their ordeals in their own words. Most of the time I interacted with women.

Almost all IDPs have stories of horrors to tell. Some of the stories occurred to themselves, some to their relatives, friends or fellow villagers. Almost all women I met told me how their right to mobility was curbed by the Taliban. An elderly woman, a grandmother, said her daughter-in-law is widow and she used to accompany her children to a hospital in Peshawar, whenever they needed medical treatment. The Taliban threatened women with dire consequences if they came in the public unaccompanied by men.

The isi is finally winning. The isi are the supporters of taliban, the foreign militants whom the paki army will not attack and hence the predators operated by the US. Now having established the dominance of alquida and taliban under isi help, the paki military has withdrawn leaving those territories for alquida to rule.

With the help of isi, teh al quida has created an are to be ruled by them after being driven out of afghanistan/

The isi is still with the startegic depth idsea, and hopes that one day the fata based taliban, nutured byy isi will take over afghanistan.

Lashkar offers to put down arms in held Kashmir



By Jawed Naqvi


NEW DELHI, Jan 19: In a move clearly timed to coincide with the inauguration of a new American administration, the Lashkar-e-Taiba in Jammu and Kashmir was reported on Monday to have offered to shun its armed campaign for justice if the international community would help peacefully resolve the bloody dispute dogging the Himalayan region for decades.
///////////////

From dawn of today //////////

At last the kashmiris have started listening. They have realised that what islamic pakistan has to offer is honour killings, hoodood ordinace and poverty and misery. They have also realised that the vision of jinnah is unfolding in swat where the isi has created the jinnahic vision and the paki army has withdrawn from there.

The kashmiris are coming to their senses that the jinahic version of TNT-islam is simply terror. It is a version that kills the ciltural history, it is a terror version supported by the paki govt and taught in madrassas.

Beena, the efforts of the "civil" society are well-intentioned -- just like your piece is. Unfortunately, the "civil" society represents a shrinking segment of the population.

Re: # 16
Dear NO:52 Clowing Street

You've shocked me by using the term Insha Allah in your post. You turned out to be a bad Muslim after all, and I thought you were a retired RAW major. How could I?

Thanks for the hint: to the Kashmiris, 'IT' means getting 'Indian Terrority' and not that other 'information technology'.

Thanks, thanks, many thanks.

PS: more thanks!

I can assure you that your grand children will be living in one of the seperated states. Likh key rakh lo, Champoo grandpa-to-be!

I can guarantee you, even your grant children will die in jihad against India and it will continue without much success, unless and until India thinks, it is appropriate moment to download Kashmir with appropriate price tag....

The daughter of chief justice of pakistan got two marks for a question which has only one mark for teh correct answer. The pakistani court found this acceptable.

Pakistan says that teh mumbai jihadis will be tried in paki courts..something to look forward to. Pakistan is so corrupt that even the ducated like the ones on chowk do not kknow what is corruption.

Farah Dogar got two marks out of one!

Monday, January 19, 2009

By Ansar Abbasi

ISLAMABAD: The two samples of Miss Farah Hameed Dogar’s answer sheets reveal another aspect of scandalous jacking up of her marks.

The answer sheets were made part of the Islamabad High Court’s recent judgment to prove “irregularities� that were cited as the reason for the re-assessment of her papers. In one case pertaining to the paper of Physics II, despite her answer being incorrect, Miss Farah was given two marks while that part carried only one mark. In

from jang of today. The humiliation of a nation continues. At last pakis are telling that they will satisfy indias demands. The nuclear powered country, the islamic bo,mb maker, pride of islam, meetinmg and staisfying indias demands..this is not paki humiliation..this is islamic humiliation.

Financial crisis of PIA


PIA, having acquired fuel-efficient long range B777s, which are being successfully operated by leading airlines of the world, needs to ground fuel-guzzling B747s as per the original business plan submitted to financial institutions, which funded the deal.

Had the airline properly negotiated financial loans required to fund the B777 purchase and gone for white-tailed United Airlines B777s, which were on offer, the airline could have saved hundreds of millions of dollars, which were needlessly wasted by those seeking huge cutbacks.

The business plan submitted was based on replacement of B747s which were not found to be viable at fuel price in excess of $29, 10 per cent annual increase in revenues, reduction in maintenance costs, etc.

Instead of that we have seen the last quarter loss skyrocketing to Rs20.4 billion or Rs9.49 million an hour, which exposes the competence level, pilferages, poor planning, bad marketing strategies of the management.

The loss of Rs38.4 billion, incurred by PIA from January to September 2008, is more than the total losses of the airline during the last nine years.

This is mindless wastage of taxpayers’ money and should not be allowed to go unchecked.

The trials of a nation continues. There are no competant persons in any field in pakistan. Even running an airline, deciding on best options to buy capital goods, no one in pakistan can make an inteligent decision.

One can see the problem in the response of pakis on chowk. Look at tahmed, ylh, romair et..plain and simple stupid in their arguments.
