Terrorism and extremism threaten the existence of our country

July 4, 2009

Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Ashfaq Kayani warned the nation on Friday that terrorism and extremism threatens the existence of our country. He said that nation should confront these two menaces that pose threat to our national security.

I agree with what Chief of Army Staff has expressed. But we need to tackle situation carefully and sternly. The insurgency going on our tribal areas cannot be stopped without eliminating the hatred among different ethnic groups. Our enemies are taking advantage of our division and exploiting our hatred.

The problem is that political leadership is not handling the situation properly. They way they are managing the affairs of the IDPs. Their mismanagement is creating hatred against the army and destroying their good works. Chief should pay attention to that also if he wants to control the situation.

Is Lashkar the new al-Qaida?

July 4, 2009

Indians are suggesting that Lashkar-e-Taiba created by Pakistan has become more dangerous than Taliban. They are of the opinion that al-Qaida has taken over the Lashkar-e-Taiba. They think al-Qaida is using the infracture and network of LeT as an effective front for its terror activities.

They accuse that ISI is still sheltering the Lashkar.

In my opinion, they have formed this opinion after the UN Security Council resolution adopted on June 29. The security Council declared LeT leaders Arif Qasmani, Mohammad Yahya Mujahid and Abu Mohammed Ameen al-Peshawari as terrorists allied to al-Qaida. Now they have got a golden opportunity to carry out smearing campaign against Pakistan. Pakistan Government should wake up from the deep slumber and respond to Indian smearing campaign. They cannot counter the campaign by issuing statements from Foreign Office.

Ministry removes controversial Middle East question from B.C. history exam

June 25, 2009

Timescolonist.com reports:

The Canadian Jewish Congress is applauding B.C.’s new education minister for her swift action in pulling from her ministry’s website a controversial question about the Middle East that was part of a practice test for students preparing for provincial exams this month.

The question was part of last year’s History 12 provincial exam and was posted on the ministry website as a practice test. It did not appear on this year’s exam, a ministry spokesman said.

The question asked students to identify the group referenced in this statement: “They have been fighting to regain a homeland since they were driven out in 1948. Some have lived their entire lives in refugee camps. Forty years later, Israel still refuses to recognize their right to exist as a nation.”

Students were asked to indicate whether the reference was to Jews, Iranians, Egyptians or Palestinians.


Improve the flaws in the local government system

June 23, 2009

The speech delivered by PPP legislator Nadeem Bhutto in the provincial assembly during the budget session is outrageous. The way he talked about the non-Sindhis living in Sind appears that Sindhis have still not accepted the immigrants from India wholeheartedly. He tried to give the impression as if non-Sindhis have taken over the resources of Sindh.

This type of incendiary speech will only create rift between the two major ethnic groups living in Sind. Urdu speaking people living in Karachi and Hyderabad have created a heaven by dint of their hard work. If Sindhis could not achieve this, it is their fault.

Sindhis must understand that ethnic strife is not good for the province and Pakistan.

PPP legislator Nadeem Bhutto has also demanded in his speech that government should abolish the local government system introduced by President Musharraf. May I ask what is wrong with the system? If there are flaws in the system, they should try to remove it. They should not talk about its abolishment. We witnessed that city governments of Karachi and Hyderabad did marvelous jobs. People living in Karachi and Hyderabad are happy. Government should announce the new date of elections for the city governments in Sind without any delay.


Revolutionary Guards threatens to crack down on street protests

June 22, 2009

Reuters reports:

Iran’s hardline Revolutionary Guards on Monday threatened to crack down on street protests after opposition leader Mirhossein Mousavi called on supporters to stage more demonstrations over the disputed June 12 election.

The statement was published on the Guards’ website.

The statement by the Guards, who are viewed as the most loyal guardian of the ruling clerical establishment, clearly signalled a crackdown on any fresh unrest over the re-election of hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

The hardline attitude adopted by the ruling cleric will make matter worse.  Mousavi’s supporters have a right to demonstrate and demand an enquiry. Repressive tactics will make Mousavi mor popular and put more activistts behind his side.


Protesting against lies and fraud (in the election) is your right, says Mousavi

June 22, 2009

Reuters reports:

Iranian opposition leader Mirhossein Mousavi urged supporters to stage more protests over the re-election of hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a direct challenge to the Islamic Republic’s leadership.

“Protesting against lies and fraud (in the election) is your right,” Mousavi

Mousavi made a veiled appeal to the security forces to show restraint in handling demonstrations.

Mousavi said on Saturday he was not questioning the fundaments of the Islamic Republic but sought to renew it and purge it of what he called deceit and lies.
