The best joke from Pakistan

Looks like this is not only a country full of Jihadis but also Jokers. That too in very celebrated posts.Like this latest one.

People do go out of mind, I know, but like this !!! I almost died laughing after reading this. Its a must read to every Indian and of course Pakistani as well.

Looks like the Jihadis in Pakistan stormed a mental hospital and liberated all the patients from there to let them lead and represent their people.

Bloody faceless jackass.

Zardari and Pakistan : Playing the clever victim

Perhaps no other country manipulates the world media like Pakistan does. Or rather no other country's leaders have proven to be as efficient in managing media like those from Pakistan.

We have seen it with Benazir Bhutto booted out of her own country on allegations of corruption even as her husband was put behind bars. She played the victim with such grace and perfection that even the best PR guys of the world would have a lesson or two to learn from it.

Now comes General Musharraf who ruled Pakistan as a military dictator anointing himself as the President and posing to the world as someone who has brought good and hope back to the hell (Pakistan). He was so graceful when he visited the US to promote his book on the back of an international summit in the US and took time off to visit every other late night comedy show to give answers on the controversy that he himself helped create to sell his book.

Now comes Ms. Bhutto back from London where she lived in exile after striking a deal with the 'brutal military dictator' posing as someone who is sacrificing everything of her life whereas in reality she struck a deal with the General that she shall not be arrested upon her return and her husband shall be acquitted of all charges and released from prison where he stayed for almost a decade.

Then comes the master of all Asif Ali Zardari. He beats everyone to it when he plays the victim. I have not seen a single interview of his where he would not say "has anyone suffered more than my children and I have" pointing to the death of his wife in a suicide attack that killed scores of ordinary people as well. He throws this line at anyone and everyone who would ask him about the menace of terrorism that has deep roots in Pakistan owing to the decades old complicity of the ruling establishments from time to time.

In the immediate aftermath of the Mumbai attacks he started off saying his heart bleeds for Indians and the pain they are going through. Then he tries to blame who he calls "NON STATE ACTORS" who do not operate from the confines of any borders. After a couple of weeks into the brutal attack on Mumbai, today he says he is responsible for the Non state actors as well if they operate from his country. And as clever as anyother Pakistani leader he again says India should provide evidence. What more of an evidence does he need to follow up on the lead of the father who has recognised his son who was the only terrorist caught alive ?

This is Zardari for the world. The best public relations manager I have ever seen, I mean when he addresses world media. His popularity in his own country is debatable though. Without a doubt, as I put all of his statements together, I can say he does not mean anything he says and all he is doing is just a touch up so he would be perceived as someone who means what he says.

And that is Pakistan for the world. Be a silent spectator to what has been brewing up in its own backyard, let it spill over to other countries by providing assistance of all kinds including cover fire when they try to infiltrate into Kashmir from the other side. And now it is the same Pakistan that is playing the victim as the agents that they helped build and amass ammunition take on their own ilk.

Pakistan and its Rogues

I really fail to understand the locus standi of a charity organisation  ( as they fondly call themselves or would like the the whole world to believe them to be )  the Jamaat-ud-Dawa asking for Narendra Modi to be handed over because of what has happened in Gujarat.

He supports the freedom movement in Kashmir. We think it is right. It is ridiculous to call him a terrorist. When India is even pricked by a thorn, the whole world stands up. Why did Condoleezza Rice not put pressure on India for handing over Narendra Modi after the Gujarat carnage?

The He here was LeT leader Hafeez Sayeed. To say that all they do is educate children and provide healthcare to the needy people of Pakistan and also agree with the LeT leader's views and ideology is a paradox of gigantic proportions which convinces any sensibe individual that the JUD is still a Lashkar organisation.

The JUD spokesperson goes on to say that the LeT may have bought weapons from the money provided to them by the JUD and that they are not supporting the LeT anymore but still agrees with all of LeT's views. 

Also it does make me feel for rogue state of mind of such terrorist sympathisers who fondly call terrorists in Kashmir freedom fighters and ask for Narendra Modi's head for what has happened in Gujarat in 2002. While Modi's alleged role in fanning communal passions is still questionable, something we can all agree upon is that he and his administration has slept on the entire carnage across Gujarat. But handover him to who ? and Why ? 

Last week I read some other reports from Pakistan asking for Advani to be handed over. The question is why would we handover anyone to Pakistan. They haven't plotted anything against Pakistan or its citizens. Or is Pakistan thinking that they represent the muslims from all over the world. If there is anyone to be handed over to Pakistan or its people its their Politicians who have let their country down and turning Pakistan into a big joke in the world. Or perhaps its military dictators from time to time who supressed and opressed freedom of its own citizens. How could people who cannot rule themselves, protect themseves, speak for their own like seek to speak on behalf of someone else.

Alright. Even if we agree on a tit for tat handover, chances are that many parts of Pakistan would end up being emptied after every other terror affected country in the world gets the people on its list of most wanted terrorists.

Pakistan is nothing but a rogue state. If we look at the world there is only two countries in the world that get such coverage the world over. Not because they are important to the world but because of the state they are in and the state that they would frequently put themselves in. They are Pakistan and Zimbabwe. For being a laughing stock of the world. For being a failed state. For failing its own citizens. For failing the very cause of its own existence. 

I mean going rogue is ok. But to try to change the whole country rogue is what the terrorists do. But to let it go rogue any more then it is already is not good for any of us. Because we cannot let the rogueness spread over to the world.

The joke called 'Javed Miandad' from Pakistan

Javed Miandad says India should tour Pakistan. Oh ! really. What for ? So you have the entire Indian team bombed by your relative Dawood Ibrahim who is a globally wanted terrorist !!

He says:

 Both India and Pakistan are victims of terrorism 

and cricket will bridge the gap between the two nations....This is

 the right time for the Asian bloc to show some solidarity by 

coming together and assuring the world that the subcontinent is 

safe for cricket.

I ask "why would you not set an example by sharing with Indian authorities the wherabouts of the man whose family your son is married into, Dawood Ibrahim ?"

Will that not be the real show of solidarity. I think it would also be right to remind him how he has refused to admit his meeting with Dawood Ibrahim before the much reported ceremony  in Dubai.

I'll tell you what Javed. We welcome you and your entire clan to India. We can all have fun, go fishing, karting, play cricket and have all kinds of fun and gift your relative Dawood a tourism package so he could go on a location hunting spree to choose the next places he wants to bomb in India.

Hell with cricket. Pakistan should be crippled in every way it can be until it takes solid actions and not the much touted 'house-arrests'.

India has proof of ISI invovlement in Mumbai attacks

I read this report on how and why the Indian agencies have been holding back from divulging details of incriminating evidence pointing to the ISI's involvement in the Mumbai attacks.

If it is true then I don't think it is the right thing to do.

Should I choose between having a good relationship with an incompetent Pakistani govt. that would refuse/fail to call a spade a spade, fail miserably in addressing those perpetrators of terrorism and pushing the Pakistani govt to the wall by revealing all incriminating evidences and calling its attention to act tough on such forces by bring all kinds of pressures against it, I would without a doubt choose the latter.

Since the reasoning that escalating tensions with India would make Pakistan redeploy troops from their western borders to the east which would inturn hurt its prospects of fighting terrorism on that front is not convincing enough as this would not help address the root

causes of terrorism that operatives on its eastern border. Lesser the pressure on the Pakistan government less likely would it be willing to react to calls for a crack down on terror operatives launching out from its own soil.

Why should we not trust Pakistan ?

In the past two days we have seen Pakistan's president Mr.Zardari say there is no Pakistani hand in the Mumbai attack whatsoever. Which does not surprise me.

He turned down India's demand to handover its most wanted terrorists who are relaxing in their safe havens inside Pakistan. That does not surprise me either.

Instead he asks India to share with him the evidence it has so he can try them in a court of law in Pakistan and have them punished. This does surprise me. Why ? Two reasons.

Reason 1:

All these years Pakistan has denied that a man by the name Dawood Ibrahim resides in Pakistan despite repeated requests/demands by the Indian Government. But yesterday, quite contrastingly, he refuses to handover the terrorists instead of denying their existence in pakistan which is nothing less than admitting their existence in Pakistan.

Reason 2:

What has Pakistan done when the father of its missile program was accused of proliferation ? They did not deny it but put him under 'house arrest'. They deny IAEA access to the arrested former scientist. He has never been investigated despite the issue here being something as grave as Nuclear proliferation.

Now asking India to provide/share evidence on Mumbai attacks with a promise of action against culprits does not stand a reason. Who are you trying to bluff Mr. President ?
