Dialogue with Terrorists, Pakistani nation have to suffer more and more says the journalists in Pakistan.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has said dialogue was the only option it considers right now to address the menace of terrorism and the country’s powerful army was on the same page with the government over the issue.

Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said government’s offer of dialogue was unconditional. He said the army completely supports the option of dialogue as the top priority to check terrorism and extremism in the country.

Nisar said he does not want to talk of any other option in case the dialogue does not work. “Our priority is dialogue, and we don’t want to talk of anything else right now”.

Nisar said the PML-N has been opposed to the post-9/11 policies of the Musharraf regime.

“You just go through my speeches in Parliament as Leader of the Opposition; I have always been in favour of dialogue instead of the use of force,” he told The News daily.

Completely endorsing Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s dialogue offer, the Minister lamented that the media recently misreported that the Defence Committee of the Cabinet (DCC) had set the condition that the government would talk to only those extremist groups that would lay down their arms.

“It was totally baseless,” he said, adding the DCC meeting never discussed this.

Asked about the stance of the army and if there was any difference of opinion between the government and the army on the issue of dialogue, Nisar said the civilian government and the military establishment today are enjoying the best of working relationships and are on the same page to pursue the dialogue process.

He doubted there has ever been such an understanding between the civilian government and the military establishment.

The minister said undoubtedly Pakistan lost more than 40,000 civilians, soldiers, policemen and others in terrorist activities, but, he added, it is also a fact that some of those carrying out terrorist activities within Pakistan had also lost their innocent children.

“We need to understand that action leads to reaction,” he said, adding there had been no Pakistani involved in 9/11 but still Pakistan has been dragged into this war, and now our people, our children and our security forces are being killed.

“We have to save and secure our own people from being killed like this,” he said.

To prevent such killings and to ensure peace, he said, the government had made an unconditional dialogue offer to all extremist groups and those pursuing armed struggle against the state, its people and the security forces.

Later in an interview to Geo News, he said the dialogue with the Taliban failed in the past because the rulers were never sincere with the process.

Nisar added another reason for the failure of the dialogue process was that the civilian and military leadership never remained on same page in this regard in the past.

“At some specific time in the past, when the military leadership was inclined for the initiation of dialogue with the militants, the civilian leadership was not interested and vice versa,” he said.

Asked if the “secret agencies” will intervene in the dialogue process or try to sabotage it, Nisar said, “It’s a difficult question”.

“After having long discussion sessions with all the security agencies, I can assure you that this will not happen and the government, army and all the security agencies will move forward unanimously,” he said adding the government is finalising the steps which will ensure close and continuous coordination between different institutions.

But it is clearly a wrong step which might have been taken because of the interest of Saudi regime. Mr Nawaz Sharif, Prime Minister  of Pakistan is bound to obey the instructions of Saudi Kingdom as he was given the shelter of life from Saudi King in past. Therefore, the decisions taken into the said dialogues with those who have been found the major terrorists in Pakistan. The armed forces are dominated by these acts of Nawaz Sharif as well as there is no change in terrorist activities. The terrorists having support from Saudi Kingdom are making fool to the Government of Pakistan. Their demand is only to release their terrorists from Pakistani prisons so that they could be more active and strong in future. Pakistani nation have to suffer more and more says the journalists in Pakistan.

4th attack on Express News in Lahore, Raza Roomi saved in a terrorist attack

Lahore: Two unidentified gunmen on Friday opened fire on senior Pakistani analyst and writer Raza Rumi, a highly vocal critic of the Taliban and religious extremists groups, leaving his driver dead and guard injured.

Lahore police spokesman Niyab Haider told PTI that two motorcyclists intercepted Rumi’s car at Raja Market, Garden Town, and opened fire on it. Rumi remained unhurt while his driver Mustafa and guard Anwar suffered bullet injuries.

They were rushed to hospital where Mustafa was pronounced dead while the condition of Anwar is state to be critical. Rumi is a highly vocal critic of the Taliban and one of the few in the media community here who came out openly against Lashker-e-Jhangji a sister concern of Sipah-e- Sahaba.

It is important to know that General Secretary of Sipah-e-Sahaba a terrorist and sectarian killing group is a Senior minister in Government of Punjab namely Rana Sanaullah who is also involved in Sectarian killings of Rawalpindi in last year.

He also frequently spoke against the sectarian groups and religious fundamentalists in the country. Rumi had recently joined the Express TV channel and was anchoring a talk show.

This is the fourth incident the Express media group came under attack by terrorists. In the previous attacks Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan had claimed the responsibility, saying the group especially its English publication – Express Tribune – is criticising the banned group.

Lahore police chief Shafiq Ahmed has termed the incident “target killing”. He said two teams had been constituted to investigate the matter. The journalist organisations of the country condemned the incident. They said that killers are under the shelter of Punjab Government then who can arrest them? And how they can be traced out of the Province of Punjab? 

Rumi had recently launched a book ‘Delhi By Heart – The impressions of a Pakistani traveller’.

Mrs. Nusrat Bhutto mother of the democracy in Pakistan.

Karachi—Founder and Leader of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) Mr Altaf Hussain telephoned Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gillani and offered his heartfelt condolences on the sad demise of the senior PPP leader Mrs Nusrat Bhutto.

He said that the long chapter of relentless struggle for democracy, rendering unparalleled sacrifices and redeeming the pledge made with Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, and the people of Pakistan came to an end with the unfortunate death of Mrs Bhutto.

Mr Hussain said that Mrs Bhutto had to face a number of ordeals in the reign of dictatorship.

She had to suffer the grief of the martyrdom of her husband, sons and daughter, but she continued to struggle indomitably for the party and continued to look after party workers and office-bearers. Such towering personalities were not born every day.

Mr Hussain said that the vacuum created by the death of Mrs Bhutto would not be easily fulfilled. She had acquitted herself admirably after the judicial murder of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and displayed extraordinary courage and determination in difficult times. It was because of her upbringing that Benazir Bhutto also preferred to sacrifice her life instead of bowing down before the dictatorship.

Mr Hussain offered his condolences to the Prime Minister, President Zardari, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Ms Sanam Bhutto, and all other leaders and workers of the PPP. He prayed for the eternal peace of the departed soul and for patience and fortitude for the bereaved family members.

Prime Minister Gillani said that it was very unfortunate that the most respected and determined leader of the PPP had left this world.

He said that the way Mr Hussain had shared the grief and offered his condolences had given us courage and support. He thanked Mr Hussain for showing unity and solidarity.

Later on, Mr Hussain also called Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik to express his condolences. Mr Malik thanked Mr Hussain and prayed for his life and health.

An end of Col. Qazafi in Libya.

Colonel Gaddafi is wanted for war crimes by the International Criminal Court in the Hague, but the National Transitional Council is unlikely to agree to his extradition. Their information minister is quoted as demanding a Libyan trial:

We are going to give him the fair trial he never gave the Libyan people. We hope that we are catching some big names so we can put them in the court and let the people have the last word on their fate

If the reports of Gaddafi’s death are true (and they may not be: the US cannot even confirm his capture yet), it will make some things easier between the Libyans and their Western allies. It solves the problem of where he will be tried, and by whom. If he is still alive, we have months of wrangling and undignified negotiation yet to come, and – notwithstanding the assurances above – the prospect of a Saddam Hussein-style show trial. On the other hand, if he is alive we also stand a greater chance of finally establishing the truth about Lockerbie, the killing of WPc Yvonne Fletcher and many other crimes. Either way, the end of this man’s brutal dictatorship has arrived, and not before time.

Moon was splitted into two. NASA reported a Great Miracle of our holy Prophet Mohammed (SAWW).

NEW YORK, United States:

Recent scientific research has confirmed the miracle of Prophet Muhammad Al-Mostafa (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) regarding “moon splitting”.

Moon can be seen splitted into two clearly, NASA reported.

It has been proved through a picture captured by NASA which was published throughout the world. The photo from NASA using Apollo 10 and Apollo 11 shows a clear indication (a line) that the Moon was split in past.

The report, spread on scientific foundations in different global parts, said that the picture which illustrates splitting of moon confirms that the moon was split into two halves during its geological age. The report said the scientists were unable to give any scientific explanation for happening of ‘moon splitting’ as any such splitting was never happened to any heavenly body prior to what happened to the moon. The geologists assert that it is impossible that such a line appears save the moon was split into two halves and then it was rejoined.

This miracle of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) is mentioned in the beginning of Sura Al-Qamar (the moon) about the split of the moon [54:1] ‘The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder (the people of Makkah requested Prophet Muhammad to show them a miracle, so he showed them the splitting of the moon)’.

The miracle existed at that time for the people of Quraiesh when they challenged the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) to show them a miracle, or a proof that he is the Messenger of Allah. The challenge was to split the moon in to two pieces when it is full.

As was related by Adbullah ibn Mas‘ud, while they were in Mina one night, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) split the moon into two by a gesture of his index finger. The two parts had separated and receded so much apart from each other that to the on-lookers one part had appeared on one side of the mountain and the other on the other side of it. Then in an instant the two had rejoined. Then, the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) turned to us and said: ‘Be witnesses!’

The amazing and wonderful phenomenon of the splitting of the Moon when it was full was a manifest sign of the truth that the Resurrection, of which the Holy Prophet was giving them the news, could take place and that it had approached near at hand.

This was a manifest proof of the truth that the system of the Universe was neither eternal nor immortal it could be disrupted. David Mosa Pidcook (leader on British Muslim Party) said: It was shown in BBC a program where there was a debate between three experts.

The discussion was about if the amount of money paid by NASA to send a human to land on the surface of the moon to study the inner structure of the moon was worth it or not? The American government authorized a budget of $100, 000, 000, 000 (one hundred thousand million dollar) for this project. One of the discoveries of that project was that there is a layer of material that splits the moon into two halves and the only explanation to this discovery that the moon was split at some times in its history and rejoined!!!

Our Holy and divine Prophet Muhammed ( SAWW) was also disclosed as God of the Bible according to the verse 7 of Chapter 45 of  Zabur / Psalm. For further details pl see Lesson no 19 on this website sunmitted as under:

Federal Minister for Religion Allama Hamid Saeed Kazmi attacked by local Terrorists Lashker-e-Jhangvi / Sipah-e-Sahaba.

PAKISTAN-ATTACK-MINISTER

Federal Minister for Religion Allama Hamid Saeed Kazmi badly injured this afternoon. His driver was dead on the spot & his 2 gun man injured seriously. The said incident took place near Sector G-6 / 3, Islamabad. The said Sector is already involved in terrorist’s activities. Several Mosque in this Sector are the said terrorists. Intelligence agencies are not properly taking action against these kinds of religious places for some reason. Whereas, it is clearly disclosed to every one that a so called Muslim sect is involved in these kinds of terrorism. Majority of them are directly trained through their religious extremists like Sipah-e-Sahabah and Lashker-e-Jhangvi.

This so called Muslim sect is developing religious hatred and terrorism with the help of Al-Qaida and Taliban’s of Afghanistan and have their links with our enemies like India and Israel. These terrorists were supported by deceased President of Pakistan General ( Late) Zia-ul-Haque. The terrorists involved in this incident are surely of the same area of Sector G-6 in Islamabad or accommodated in this sector by the same supporters of Lall- Masjid. If there will be a proper search or the Mosques related to the above sect in this Sector, the terrorists involved will be arrested positively.

Indian Agents of RAW arrested for bomb blasts in Punjab-Pakistan.

LAHORE, 29th Jan 2009:

CIA police claimed to have arrested three RAW agents allegedly involved in terrorist activities in the provincial capital. Capital City Police Officer Muhammad Pervez Rathore disclosed this while addressing a press conference at District Police Lines here on Thursday.

He said he had given special target to DIG Investigation Mushtaq Ahmad Sukhaira, SSP Investigation and Superintendent of Police (CIA) Muhammad Umer Virk for tracing the terrorists and their activities. They constituted a special team comprising expert officials of CIA Police which arrested these terrorists namely Muhammad Fayyaz alias Faja, Muhammad Ikram and Shahzad Bhatti of Ludhar village, Burki area, Lahore.

The CCPO said that during preliminary interrogation, the accused confessed that they had gone to India seven times. He said the accused told the police that basically they are smugglers but later developed intimacy with RAW and started working for them. They had handed over some pictures of Lashkar Tayyaba Mansehra, Markaz Lashkar Tayyaba Muridke and Markaz Lashkar Tayyaba Chichawatni to RAW and received Rs 200,000 from it, CCPO added. The accused also confessed that they had committed bomb blast at Ferozpur road near FC College in 2006 in which two persons were killed while 14 others were injured.

Pervez Rathore said the terrorists had made plan of a bomb blast in Markaz Lashkar Tayyaba Mochi Gate, Jamia Qadsia Choburgi Lahore, Jamia Masjid Lashkar Tayyaba Millat Chowk Faisalabad, Markaz Lashkar Tayyaba Mansehra, Markaz Lashkar Tayyaba Muridke and Markaz Lashkar Tayyaba Chicha Watni which the CIA police foiled. The arrest of the terrorists is a big achievement for Lahore Police, he added.

Another Big Bang in PC Hotel, 19 Dead 57 were injured in Peshawar.

pc hotel 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The death toll from a suicide blast at a luxury hotel Peshawar city has risen to 19, while 57 people were injured, a police official says. Early reports suggest at least two men shot their way through a security barrier and rammed a pick-up truck packed with explosives into the five-star Pearl Continental hotel late Tuesday, causing massive devastation.

Three more dead bodies including the body of a police official were recovered from the debris this morning (Wednesday),” Abdul Ghafoor Afridi, a senor police official in Peshawar, told AFP. The number of casualties could rise as we fear that some people are still trapped under the debris. One portion of the hotel was totally destroyed, he added. Three people including a manger of the hotel are dead and two foreign United Nations workers, Serbian Aleksandar Vorkapic and Filipina Perseveranda were also killed. Australia’s Foreign Minister Stephen Smith said the high commission was checking to see if Australians had been hurt, but it was unlikely “on the basis of information we have”.

It’s a terrible attack we obviously condemn it. The massive bomb was hidden in a delivery truck and was driven up to the five-star Pearl Continental hotel in the high-security Khyber Road area of Peshawar and detonated outside, causing massive devastation.

We know that Indian Agencies are providing full support to the terrorists to destabilize our country we also know that Israelites are also behind the veil with Indian Agencies as usual.

Big Bang in Islamabad Marriot hotel. Indian agency RAW was involved.

 
 
 
 

Emergency workers continued to search for survivors in the smoldering remains of the Marriot Hotel in Islamabad, Pakistan; one day after a massive truck bomb shattered the hotel and killed at least 53 people. The lavish hotel was a favorite for foreigners and the Pakistani elite. Among the dead were Czech Ambassador Ivo Zdarek and at least two members of the U.S. military.

Security footage of the attack has been released, showing the moments leading up the explosion. The tape shows a dump truck ramming the security barrier, causing guards to scatter. They nervously return to investigate the truck, when a small explosion rips through its cab.

One guard tries to put out the fire, but they did know that the back of the dump truck was filled with nearly 600 kilograms of explosives.

Investigators have made a disturbing discovery about the explosives. Initial reports suggest it may have been fertilizer, normally used in terrorist attacks, but officials now believe it may have been military-grade material.

The tape does not show the massive explosion that left a 10-metre crater and destroyed much of the hotel. At least 250 people were wounded. The attack at about8 p.m.local time Saturday, just when Muslims were breaking the Ramadan fast and hotel restaurants were packed with diners.

The explosion came just hours after President Asif Ali Zardari made his first address to Parliament. Rehman Malik, the head ofPakistan’s Interior Ministry, told The Associated Press that officials had received intelligence suggesting there might be some kind of militant activity because of Zardari’s address.

Our Society have got an investigative report through our accurate source who have reported us that Indian Agencies were involved behind this attack. According to our source it was a so called revenge for the bomb blasts of Indian cities happened in last week.Indiahas their own rifts with Tamilnado gorillas, in one side and killing innocent Kashmiries, with a series of inhuman activities against them on other side.

Resulting to that revenge, if there is an act of terrorism then immediately after that, we can see the reaction of Indian government and Indian Agencies againstPakistanor ISI through false and fabricated propaganda to hide the reality of their own developed crises.

Indian Agencies are fully equipped in Afghanistanand are properly supported for the terrorist activities in our area of NWFP. Their activities are increasing day by day. UNO should take action if they need support in terra from Pakistani forces.

MESSAGE of the Chairman (NAB) on Corruption.

Corruption erodes institutions, be that social, administrative, or political. The menace of corruption is a worldwide phenomenon that affects all societies and economies, developed as well as developing. The comity of nations has therefore started focusing and shaping its struggle against corruption in an integrated manner.

 

United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) is the first step towards consolidation of global anti corruption efforts. The National Accountability Bureau, on its part, is fully cognizant of the situation. Since its inception, the Bureau has been performing excellently. Reforms in the operational methodology have been introduced to make the accountability process more efficient, transparent, and result oriented.

The Bureau is now stepping beyond the traditional enforcement path. The anti corruption drive is now being augmented through awareness as well as preventive interventions. A series of anticorruption actions initiated by the Government will further strengthen our efforts aimed at fighting the menace.

The National Accountability Bureau has been actively contributing to the struggle launched by the international organizations such as the Asia Pacific Group on Money Laundering, ADB–OECD Anti Corruption Action Plan and the Financial Action Task Force, the International Association of Anticorruption Authorities (IAACA) and the OIC Enhancing Integrity Forum.

Ratification of the UNCAC, opens for us new vistas for enhanced international cooperation on the one hand, and puts us under a number of international obligations on the other hand. NAB is fully committed to fulfill its responsibilities to enhance cooperation at bilateral, regional and international level to promote integrity, transparency and efficiency in the management of public assets.
