Latest Indian Drama: ‘Rocket Attack’ At Wagah

Dan Qayyum | PakistanKaKhudaHafiz.com

In an attempt to make the most of Indian Home Minister P Chidambaram’s visit to the US, India has alleged being attacked by Pakistani rangers in the Wagah sector using ’several rockets’.

Staging false flag attacks is nothing new for Indians when trying to paint Pakistanis as terrorists while in high-profile talks with American leaders.

Lets rewind to year 2000: Chattisinghpora, Occuped Kashmir – On the eve of then US President Bill Clinton’s visit to India, 35 Kashmiri Sikhs were massacred in cold blood by Indian security forces posing as Kashmiri Freedom Fighters. The usual ‘Lashkar-e-Tayba militants’ were rounded up and executed in fake-encounters, the ‘Pakistani National’ was produced, ensuring Clinton’s entire visit focused on what India calls ‘Pakistan-backed terrorism’. It was only much later when the damage was done that the truth of the massacre came out, implicating Indian soldiers and intelligence agencies in this heinous crime.

The Indians security forces went a step ahead in their brutality back then. Kashmiris protesting the deaths of five innocent muslims in fake encounters right after the massacre, were fired upon murdering a further eight, and bringing the total toll of this massacre closer to fifty.

P Chidambaram has ensured his entire trip to the United States was focused on Pakistan’s alleged lack of seriuosness in dealing with the ‘Mumbai attackers’, and the recent allegations of rocket attacks provides the perfect backdrop to India’s persecution complex.

Pakistan calls India’s bluff.

Pakistan has officially offered to hold an open debate with the Indian home minister over the probing of Mumbai attacks.

Interior Minister Rehman Malik said, “I am ready for the debate anywhere in India, Pakistan or wherever his Indian counterpart likes.”

Talking to journalists in Islamabad, Malik started off by pointing out that the first formal response to Pakistan’s February 9 request for information came on June 20th and that too was in Marathi language. Besides citing other Indian lapses, he pointed out that India refused to share the Samjotha Express dossier which was of critical importance as “a friendly country, which is also close to India, had told us that one of the Mumbai terrorists was also involved in the Mumbai incident”.

Malik said he had received the latest Indian dossier in which the Indians have provided us with a statement from Ajmal Kasab, who claims now speaking to Hafiz Saeed when he was in Mumbai.

‘Initially the Indians said Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi was the mastermind and we arrested him… now they have started saying that Hafiz Saeed is the mastermind,’ Malik said.

ISLAMABAD: To bring the area of tribal belt at par with other developed areas of the country, the government has to construct Bara multipurpose dam at the cost of Rs 14.208 billion.

The dam is situated across the Bara River in Khyber Agency and the government approved it in ECNEC meeting held a few days ago. “The project will help expose the militancy stricken people to sigh of relief and durable and sustainable development and prosperity.” The sponsoring agency of the project will be Ministry of Water and Power while the executing agency will be the WAPDA.

It would help in ensuring the irrigation of 41,729 acres of land and would generate 5.8MW much-needed electricity.

The said dam was to be constructed under President’s initiative for water and agriculture sector under which 32 small dams would be constructed.

It is pertinent to mention that for 32 small dams in Pakistan, China will extend $700 million on long-term credit and government of Pakistan will contribute $300 million.

The official said that a powerhouse with design power generation capacity of 38.1 Giga watt hour would also be constructed. The overall life of the dam has been estimated to be about 100 years.

However about 50 percent of the live storage would be lost in about 60 years. This meant that the useful design life of the dam was 50 years.

“This dam with live storage capacity of 62, 434 acre feet of water will help bring the prosperity in the FATA and adjacent area of Peshawar as it will provide assured irrigation water supply to 41, 729 acres of agriculture land.” This means that the said dam will help increase the cropping intensity from 99.1 percent to 161 percent.

The official said that the dam would also provide 20 million gallons of water per day, in addition to 10 cusecs regular water supply to Peshawar cantonment and 6 cusecs of regular water supply to local factories in Tehsil Bara.

Later on two power houses of 5.8MW of electricity will be constructed also that will ensure the electricity for the local dwellers at cheaper rates. In addition, the dam will also ensure the production of 155 tonnes of fish that will help turn the life of local into prosperous zone

Lanka Pakistan military cooperation continues

By: Moin Ansari | RupeeNews

The peaceful island paradise of Lanka was the victim of one of most heinous demoniacal,  deplorable  and despicable attacks on its sovereignty. Lanka is the last refuge of the escaping Buddhists. The Lankans fled from the inhuman Brahamanic brutality that exterminated Buddhism from its base in Kashmir. Kalhana describes the horrendous stories of Brahman murderousness, nastiness.

Sri Lanka Tamil Tigers defeat

The same Delhi contingent which enforced a murderous police action against Hyderabad, Juangarh and Manvadar had plans to take over the entire South Asia.

The same cabal that sent the mercenaries of the Mukti Bahni then began sending the brutal act of assimilating Bangaldesh by using the Rakhi Bahni.

Ten years ago, the coterie of revanchist irredentist trained armed, and supported the LTTE and sent them to first bifurcate and then take over the Buddhist enclave of Lanka.

Pakistan sent arms and equipment to Lanka to defeat the RAW inspired LTTE insurgency. Last year the Indian conspiracy to destroy Lanka was defeated. Indian ire had no bounds. They tried to sabotage Lankan relations with Pakistan and China.Proof of RAW involvement in attack on Lankan cricketers & Wagah Police station, & support for the BLA handed to Mr. Singh

When the Pakistani Cricket Board invited the Lankans to Lahore, the Bharatis were incensed. They immediately contacted Columbo and asked them to cancel the tip to Pakistan. The Lankans did not want to antagonize Delhi so they broke up their visit to Pakistan in two parts. They accommodated the Indian Cricket team, and then went to Pakistan. They played the Indians in Colombo and then returned to Pakistan to finish up the tour. It was then that the RAW inspired LTTE attacked the Lankan players in Lahore.

The Lankan president recently blamed the entire episode in Lahore on the LTTE.

The Captain of Pakistan’s newly acquired Chinese built guided-missile frigate PNS Zulfiquar, which docked in at the Colombo Port earlier this week, told media that his country was training 70 SLN personnel on annual basis and that the SLN would acquire Pakistani built small frigates in the future.

Captain Zahid Ilyas, speaking to media persons on board PNS Zulfiquar, said that it was the first of four frigates being built by China, under a project estimated to cost US$ 1 billion. The fourth one is to be built at the Karachi Shipyard.

“At present around 70 Sri Lankans undergo training at our naval school,” Zahid Ilyas said. Asked if Pakistan which at present builds small Frigates, would help Sri Lanka acquire some, he replied: “someday we will.”

“We are conducting joint operations with other navies including the US, China and Japan, to ensure that the seas, would be safe for all of us,” he further said.

Sri Lanka’s Secretary of Defence Gothabaya Rajapaksa visited Monday the Pakistani naval ship. SLN Commander, Vice Admiral Thisara Samarasinghe along with SLN Commanding Officer Captain Zahid Ilyas, accompanied Gotabhaya Rajapaksa.

Defence Advisor to the High Commission of the Republic of Pakistan in Sri Lanka, Colonel Syed Khurram Hassnain Alam and Director General Operations of the Sri Lanka Navy, Rear Admiral SAMJ Perera were also present at the occasion according to media reports from Colombo.

Making its maiden voyage from the Hudong Zhonghua Shipyard in Shanghai, where it was built and formally handed over to Pakistan on July 30, the multi-role ship with a speed of 29 knots, the frigate paid good will visits to the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia, before it arrived in Sri Lanka, on Saturday.

PNS Zulfiquar is fitted with modern anti surface and surface to air missiles, sensors, a closing in weapons system and ET-52C Torpedo. It also carries a Helo -Z9EC Helicopter, according to the captain of the frigate. Tamil Net.  Pakistan’s naval academy annually trains 70 SLN sailors.

All civilized nations on earth are celebrating the annihilation of the most virulent and dangerous terror group in the world–the Indian spawned, trained and supported so called “Tamil Tigers” officially called the LTTE.

India unleashed the LTTE Hindu Tamils on the peace loving Sinhalese Buddhist in the paradise island of Lanka and for the best part of two decades the LTTE and their Indian sponsors wreaked havoc on Colombo.

The island was bifurcated and India began talking about it as a “failed state” and re-absorption “back” into Bharat.

India yells bloody murder on terror but it has sponsored terror in China’s Tibet, Lanka’s Tamils, Bangladesh’s Chakma’s, Maldive’s Muslims, Nepal’s Maoists, Sikkim’s tribals, Bhutan’s mountain people, Pakistan’s Baluchistan and Afghanistan’s non-Pakhtuns.  India is terror central for South Asia and beyond. Its right wing Hinduvta political parties dream of a Bharat extending from Kabul to a mythical land East o Bali called “Raj Kilhani’.

Most analysts call Hindu fascism the most dangerous organization on earth that spews genocide in Gujarat on Muslims and a firewall of terror on the Christians or Orissa.

Saab 2000 offered for maritime patrol, signals intelligence tasks

by: Daily.Pk

Saab has released first details on two proposed new military versions of its Saab 2000 regional airliner, and hopes to build on its previous success in selling an airborne early warning and control derivative to Pakistan.

New missions foreseen for the twin-turboprop design include maritime patrol and signals intelligence duties, Saab announced during the 8-11 September DSEi exhibition in London.

The first of the proposed variants is being offered for missions including anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare, plus surveillance and search and rescue, the Swedish company says.

Citing the Saab 2000’s extended range and long endurance capability, plus a dash speed of 350kt (647km/h), the company claims the type “encompasses all the key ingredients of a successful maritime patrol aircraft”.

The development could also work in conjunction with the Saab Microwave Systems Erieye radar-equipped AEW&C version of the same aircraft, offering fleet commonality across different missions, the company says.

Saab also used DSEi to outline a possible signals intelligence version of the 2000, with this having been dubbed the Air Tracer. The platform would be suitable for communications and electronic intelligence tasks, and also carry electronic support measures and self-protection equipment, it says.

India warned on allegations against Pakistan

By: Daily.Pk

Pakistani Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik said Friday that India should refrain from leveling allegations against Pakistan, local TV channel reported.

The federal minister asked India not to play “blame game” on Mumbai attacks’ probe, saying that Pakistan should be given due time to carry out its own investigations in the attack in light of the dossiers given by India, the private TV GEO News reported.

He said he was ready to hold a debate with Indian officials over the issue. Nearly 170 people were killed in Mumbai, India’s commercial hub, last November, and India had accused Pakistan-based militant organization Lashkar-e-Taiba of masterminding the attacks.

The minister said India had refused to comply with Pakistan ’s request of handing over more evidence over the Mumbai attacks.

Malik also termed India’s approach to the United States for Mumbai attacks investigations and to build pressure on Pakistan to act according to its demands as “needless,” saying that the people creating misunderstandings between Pakistan and India should be unveiled.

India on Saturday slammed Pakistan, accusing it of deliberately “stifling” probe into the Mumbai attacks and made it clear that action against the perpetrators of the strikes was a condition for resumption of dialogue.
