Agartala conspiracy was real: Mujib planned secession in 1969-Traitor’s daughter confesses

March 9, 2010

By Moin Asnari | Rupee News

For the past 39 years politicians and the “Blame Pakistan first” crowd have blamed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto for saying “Humm iddhar tum uddhar” (a quote which has since been refuted as bogus), and blamed the Pakistan Army for the attack on the Mukti Bahni militants on March 23rd as the reason for the creation of Bangladesh.

Ms. Hasina Mujib the daughter of Sheikh Mujib Ur Rehman has now confessed that Sheikh Mujib had planned to secede from Pakistan in 1969–two years before the March 23rd “Military Action” against Bharati (aka Indian) saboteurs and their misguided supporters in Dhaka. General Mankeshaw wrote a book in which has claimed that he recruited 80,000 Hindus to create the Mukti Bahni. These terrorists were dressed up in Pakistan Army uniform and raped and pillaged Bengalis. They also were dressed up as civilians carrying out acts of sabotage against the civil and military government of Pakistan.

Takmeel-e-Pakistan: Why a National Movement on the lines of ‘Tehreek-e-Pakistan’ is needed?

March 8, 2010

Aquib Moin | PKKH

In 1940, a historic resolution was passed by the Muslims of South Asia. The world saw the true manifestation of the ideology of Pakistan. Under the leadership of visionary, revolutionary and exemplary Muslim leaders, the Pakistan Movement reached its glory and the Muslims showed the passion, emotion and unconditional devotion which is their historic heritage. The whole world witnessed the potential, energy and zeal of the Muslims of South Asia and that was alarming for World powers…..

Seven years later, Pakistan emerged on the map of the world as the first ideological state claimed in the name of Islam, in the name of truth and justice, in the name of righteousness. But the creation of Pakistan was shrouded under conspiracy, betrayal and treachery. India and the British Empire deployed all of their resources and executed their evil designs to do irreversible damage to the new-born state at the time of its very creation, hoping and aiming that Pakistan shouldn’t be able to survive on its own for long and it will soon kneel down in front of India to take it back again. But destiny had other plans for Pakistan. Its creation was “sanctioned” for higher purposes; Pakistan survived…..

U.S. sandwiched in Afghanistan between India’s Cold Start Doctrine and Pakistani Defense with water fueling the fire.

March 8, 2010

By Talha Mujaddidi | Axis of Logic


The list of universal truths should be expanded to include the fact of Afghanistan’s invincibility. Afghanistan has maintained its reputation as the ‘graveyard of the empires’. The question is, before the US invasion of Afghanistan, did the US Military command really think they can invade, occupy and control Afghanistan? The US indulgence in Afghanistan had nothing to do with Al-Qaeda or Taliban. It had everything to do with strategic control of Afghanistan and Pakistan, oil and gas rich Central Asia, and oil drenched Iran. The US control of Central Asia is the core of Zibignew Brzezinski’s doctrine on US hegemony in 21st century. The title of his book, ‘The Grand Chess Board’ is enough to know how Brzezinski views the world.

Nine years after 9/11 one of the major problems for the US is their ongoing struggle to control Afghanistan. Enter Pakistan. Pakistan is in no mood for allowing India gain more control in Afghanistan. The Pakistan Army has changed its stance on key security issues since departure of US crony, General/Dictator, Pervez Musharraf.

New leader in Marja has German criminal record: report

March 8, 2010

 By ALISSA J. RUBIN | NYT

The Afghan man chosen to lead the government of a town just seized from the Taliban has a violent criminal record in Germany. But Western officials say they are not pushing to have him ousted.
Court records and news reports in Germany show that Abdul Zahir served part of a more than four-year prison sentence for stabbing his stepson in 1998. A U.S. official confirms that he did serve time in Germany, though Zahir denies he committed any crime. Zahir’s integrity is an issue because his job is to convince residents of Marjah in Helmand province that the Afghan government can provide a better life than the Taliban. NATO spokesman Adm. Gregory Smith says it supports Helmand Gov. Gulab Mangal, who picked Zahir, and Afghan officials should determine his future. (NYT)

Afghan reality: India may talk to ISI, Taliban

March 8, 2010

IBN Live

New Delhi: The top levels of the government are debating opening talks with Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) and the Afghan Taliban to ensure India remains relevant in Afghanistan.

CNN-IBN learns the precarious security situation in Afghanistan–highlighted by the terrorist attacks targeting Indians in Kabul on February 26–is prompting a gradual but significant rethink in New Delhi.

Sources confirm that the government is debating opening up a channel of communication with the ISI and engaging sections of the Taliban–an idea India abhorred till now.

India is also considering paring down its presence at reconstruction projects in Afghanistan. Projects underway may be wrapped up quickly and there may be even a freeze on undertaking new projects.

Indian meddling in Pakistan

March 6, 2010

by Zaki Khalid | Pakistan Observer

As Operation Rah e Nijat is gradually nearing it’s successful end, India’s RAW is getting increasingly desperate and frustrated in trying to find other means of involving Pakistan in further geostrategic mayhem. One such recent incident was the highly absurd allegation that Lashkar e Taiba was behind the Kabul attacks on Indians, which Richard Holbrooke was sturdy enough to reject in time before another outbreak of state collision took place.

Footages from Swat and Waziristan reveal that the terrorists belong from different countries such as Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Germany and India. Their primary funding comes from the dozens of Indian consulates spread across Afghanistan, especially near the Pak-Afghan border. For India it seems, their foolish dream of “Akhand Bharat” (Greater India) is still entwined in their fascist ideologies. Add to that the Hindutvization of middle-level officers, senior level colonels and Generals of the Indian Army and you have a rogue brigade of ideologically-driven Hindu elements that will stop at nothing to create troubles and strife for Pakistan.

India to send more troops to Afghanistan

March 6, 2010

Times of India 

 

The recent killing of RAW agents in Kabul attack has exposed Indian activities in Afghanistan. The Indian media avoided to highlight or protest the killings, out of fear of exposure of Indian designs against Pakistan. Now Indian government clearly said it is sending more troops to protect RAW assets.

NEW DELHI: India on Tuesday said Afghanistan remained a “vulnerable” area for Indian assets as the government plans to provide more and better security to its nationals posted in the war-ravaged country. 

“There were intelligence alerts that Indian assets may be targeted, following which adequate steps were taken but Afghanistan is a vulnerable area,” home minister P Chidambaram said on Friday’s attack in Kabul in which six Indians died. 

Chidambaram’s comments come close on the heels of a government move to send another contingent of Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) personnel to strengthen security of Indian interests in Afghanistan.

Holbrooke unsure if Pakistan against Afghan Taliban

March 6, 2010

Dawn News

WASHINGTON: US special envoy Richard Holbrooke said in an interview with the Financial Times that he is agnostic about whether Pakistan had decisively turned against the Afghan Taliban.

Holbrooke made the comment in relation to Pakistan’s arrest of the Afghan Taliban’s operational commander Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar.

He said he was not prepared to make a judgement on whether relations between the United States and Pakistan had turned a corner after Baradar’s arrest.

Holbrooke declined to say whether the US was getting good intelligence from the joint interrogation of Mullah Baradar. But he said he had “no problems” with the Lahore High Court’s denial of a request last week to transfer the Taliban commander to Afghanistan.

Regarding military operations in Afghanistan, Holbrooke said the US and its allies faced a “daunting” task there and “it is much too early” to predict how the situation will turn out.

Newsweek Pakistan to compete in Pakistan’s ‘vibrant media’

March 6, 2010

By Moin Ansari | Rupee News

Newsweek, a subsidiary of the Washington Post Company, is to launch a title for the Pakistan market, marking the first such move by a prominent western magazine in the country.

Newsweek Pakistan, which will offer international and local content, is expected to hit the stands by September under a licence agreement with a local media company.

The English-language newspaper and magazine industry in Pakistan is far smaller than in neighbouring India. Some estimates suggest only 100,000 copies of English-language publications are sold a day in a country with a population of 180m. Existing English language titles include The Herald, Newsline, The Friday Times, The Dawn and The News.

Pakistan imposes fewer regulatory restrictions on western media than India, which limits foreign ownership. In Pakistan, western media are able to enter the market and the only apparent restrictions are on Indian media organisations.

By Moin Ansari | Rupee News

Half the Indian Air Force has now been grounded

Bharat (aka India) has more than 600 planes in its inventory. It has grounded a couple of hundred Mig-21s which have a hard time defying gravity–more than 250 have crashed. The IAF has also grounded a hundred of the Mig 29s. Now there is news that the IAF has grounded the 20 Kiran Aircraft.

In the wake of Wednesday’s aircrash in Hyderabad, the Indian Navy has grounded its entire fleet of Kiran aircraft.

Zaid Hamid: Final Word On Yusuf Ali Issue

March 5, 2010

“Dear Children, alhamdolillah, we have now recorded a full one hour video on the reality of Yusuf ali case and the lies behind it. We had so far avoided commenting upon the case as it could create sectarian fasad in the country but after consultation, we had no choice but to expose the sectarian fasadi mullahs. The truth is now out!.

We only wish there were sharia courts in the country. Sensitive religious issues should either be discussed by great shcolars or in sharia courts – not on FB or sessions courts under british laws. When sharia is trampled, sunnah is violated, Quran is insulted, lawyers, yellow journalists decide about sensitive matters of deen, such fasad take place. Listen carefully and judge in the light of Quran and Sunnah.
We had recorded this video some time back but were reluctant to share it because it could cause deobandi-Barelvi frictions in the country. Also, we would have to expose many powerful corrupt mullahs and media people exploiting the deen and also it would give chance to enemies to speak against blasphemy laws. But we are now forced to expose them as they exploit sharia, sunnah, deen and laws to settle sectarian fasad!

By Moin Ansari | Rupee News 

  • U.S. Special Representative for Pakistan and Afghanistan Richard Holbrooke said Tuesday last week’s terrorist attack in Kabul did not target Indians specifically
  • Speaking to reporters in Washington on Wednesday, Mr. Holbrooke said: “I don’t accept the fact that this was an attack on an Indian facilitylike the embassy. Holbrooke
  • ”There were foreigners, non-Indian foreigners hurt. It was a soft target. Let’s not jump to conclusions.” Holbrooke

Secret document bares Indian subversion in Pakistan

March 4, 2010

Defence Correspondent

Islamabad—Even as India and Pakistan were actively engaged in laying a framework for normalizing their relations in the aftermath of Operation Parkaram (Dec 2001 – Oct 2002), RAW’s Counter Intelligence Team – X (CIT-X), assigned to conduct subversive operations targeting Pakistan was working relentlessly to destabilize the country. According to well placed sources the details of these plans came to light once a copy of the classified document detailing these activities was accidentally lost and became available for public scrutiny.

The strategy to advance the interaction with Pakistan on the diplomatic channels, while perpetrating acts of terrorism on a parallel track, was envisaged after the failure of Indian spell of coercive diplomacy vis-à-vis Pakistan during the Premiership of Atal Bihari Vajpaee. The document lays out the extensive espionage network dovetailed into the diplomatic missions in Central Asia, particularly Afghanistan, and Middle East which the Indian under cover intelligence operatives utilize to rake trouble not only in FATA but in Pakistani hinterland as well.

The Mystery of the Afghanistan War

March 4, 2010

By  Christopher King | Middle East Online

A situation exists in which it may be in the interests of the United States to seek a ‘cold war’ situation with Russia and China as a pretext for defaulting on its external debt, attacking Iran, taking direct control of all Middle Eastern oilfields and effective control of Europe.

Let us consider a puzzle about the Afghanistan war. Recently, Lieutenant-General Hamid Gul, formerly of the Pakistani army and head of the country’s Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) agency (1987-89), remarked: “In this situation, what are the Americans trying to achieve – I don’t know. There is much ambiguity about their political objectives. Every military conflict must have a political purpose. I cannot discern that there is any political purpose.”

A U.S.-Trained Pakistani Is Said to Support the Taliban

March 4, 2010

Carlotta Gall

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan – With his white turban, untrimmed beard and worn army jacket, the man known uniformly here by his nom de guerre, Col. Imam, is a particular Pakistani enigma.

A United States-trained former colonel in Pakistan’s spy agency, he spent 20 years running insurgents in and out of Afghanistan, first to fight the Soviet Army, and later to support the Taliban, as Pakistani allies, in their push to conquer Afghanistan in the 1990s.

Today those Taliban forces are battling his onetime mentor, the United States, and Western officials say Colonel Imam has continued to train, recruit and finance the insurgents. Along with a number of other retired Pakistani intelligence officials, they say, he has helped the Taliban stage a remarkable comeback since 2006.

In two recent interviews with The New York Times, Colonel Imam denied that. But he remains a vocal advocate of the Taliban, and his views reveal the sympathies that have long run deep in the ranks of Pakistan’s military and intelligence services.

Pakistan to India: No lectures or cosmetic engagements

March 3, 2010

by Moin Ansari | Rupee News

The failure of the Bharati administration to hold Pakistan hostage to Mumbai has failed miserably. The Bharati (aka Indian) administration has been taken to task in parliament and in the media.

  • Pakistan did not want India to “lecture” it to “do this or that” and rejected further “cosmetic engagements”
  • Advani said the only concrete outcome of the 500-word statement was the foreign secretaries’ agreement “to stay in touch”.
  • “Is dialogue linked with Pakistan’s abandoning terrorism, or have the two been de-linked as clearly said by our PM at Sharm el-Sheikh?
  • The BJP veteran goes on to re-assert his earlier remark that the Indian government’s U-turn on dialogue with Pakistan seems to be the upshot of “Washington’s nudge”
  • In this latest one, there is nothing but contradictions and obfuscation.”

There is a dearth of vision in Delhi–where dialogue with Pakistan or China is seen as a reward for good behavior, as if relations with Delhi are part of some “Most Favored Nation” status by economic giants like the USA. Bharat as a large country has border disputes with all her neighbors and does not have the ability or the will to resolve issues with any of her neighbors.

Saudi-Indian relations: Analysis

March 3, 2010

by Moin Ansari | Rupee News

The Bharati (aka Indian) press is full of sound and fury about the trip of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and the King of Sadui Arabia. The trip itself was a major achievement for the Bharati government–a clear indication of the level of relations between Delhi and Riyadh. Only four previous prime ministers have ever been allowed to the sacred land. Of course Mr. Manmohan Singh visited Riyadh only, not being allowed to stepon sacred soil of Mecca or Madina.

Bharati leaders were overjoyed by the fact that a Bharati Prime Minister was able to reach the shores of the Arabian peninsula which seems to be a major feat for the Bharati government.

The Bharati media is also very excited by the fact that Saudi Arabia has agreed to sell oil to Delhi at market prices. Well duh! Saudi Arabia surely doesn’t want to keep its oil under the sands. It does want to sell it so that it can sustain the lifestyle it is used to.

Plane Crashes At India Air Show

March 3, 2010

News By Al Jazeera

Two people have died and four more injured after an Indian naval aircraft crashed during an acrobatics display in the southern city of Hyderabad.

Police said the plane came down in a residential neighbourhood of the city on Wednesday.

Indian TV news channels showed the plane flying in a formation at the air show shortly before it crashed into densely populated land adjacent to the show ground.

“In the final phase, the aircraft appears to have gone out of control. They crashed into a building and the pilots have died,” Nirmal Verma, a navy chief, said.

He was unable to say if there were further casualties on the  ground.

But Prerna Suri, Al Jazeera’s India correspondent, said the state police department had confirmed the two deaths and four injured.

“The Indian army, the state police and the fire department have been deployed to comb the area for survivors,” she said.

“It was a very crowed area so the casualty count is expected to go up.

“The aircraft was manned by two pilots, both have been declared dead.

How India Lost The Plot In Talks

March 3, 2010

By M.J. Akbar | The Daily Star

DELHI lost its own plot one day before foreign secretaries Nirupama Rao and Salman Bashir sat down at Hyderabad House to reopen the dialogue between India and Pakistan.

Salman Bashir came to Delhi for two sets of talks, not one. The Indian government was the second half of his agenda. The first, and from his perspective the more important, part was the resumption of dialogue between Islamabad and secessionist elements in Jammu and Kashmir, Hurriyat leaders and the more extreme Syed Ali Shah Geelani.

Bashir did not want to talk to Omar or Farooq Abdullah, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, Mehbooba Mufti or Ghulam Nabi Azad, who represent parties that won a substantial number of seats in the assembly. He wanted to hear what Geelani said, that there was a storm brewing in the valley. Bashir reassured Geelani that Pakistan had not abandoned its dream of altering the map of India.

These pre-arranged meetings were held with the consent of the Indian government. If the Indian government had wanted to prevent them, Hurriyat leaders and Geelani would not have been able to catch the flight from Srinagar to Delhi. Precedence — the fact that we have enabled such meetings before — is not the point.
