When David Cameron, the British premier, was in India he said what all Indians wanted to hear, “Pakistan must stop exporting terror.” When Zardari met him recently in London just days after this statement, the communique which came out after the meeting had no relation to his previous statement made in India. Not surprisingly, it said what Pakistanis wanted to hear, that terror must be fought decisively and blah blah blah. When Barrack Obama meets Manmohan Singh he refers to him as a ‘good man’ which is music to any Indian’s ears but when he meets Zardari or Geelani the words that come out are that America and Pakistan have pledged to fight terror to it’s end or words to that effect. There is hardly any reference to Indian concerns, though there is some lip service separately by their foreign office just to keep the Indians in good humour.


Do you know when did Asif Ali Zardari start shitting bricks? When someone sent him an SMS which said- Benazir Bhutto is alive. Yeah, that’s a joke but guess what? You can be jailed for upto 14 years and your property could be attached if you pass on this joke in Pakistan. They have now banned such ‘innocent’ jokes about political leadership of the country (Read Zardari) under Cyber Crimes Act. Yeah, joking is now a crime in Pakistan. Not just this they say that the govt would seek assistance of INTERPOL for deportation of foreign offenders too. Oh my god!!!!! It means they may start legal proceedings against me as well.


Well, it was just a few days back that our Prime Minster, Mr Manmohan Singh spoke in the parliament and said that there will be no talks till such time Pakistan takes some action to control the terror groups operating from within Pakistan. And now he has done the exact opposite and met Asif Zardari in Russia and had a chat for good about 45 minutes. What I do not understand is why the hell did he meet him?


Yeah, that’s the big question. Some time ago when I wrote this post Can we trust Asif Ali Zardari? I had actually directed this question towards the Indians. It’s only now that I realize that it’s more applicable to citizens of Pakistan. Isn’t it?


No they won’t unless Pakistan shuns extremism. Both John McCain and Barack Obama have said that they will carry on with the ‘war on terror’. Obama has been quite explicit about going inside Pakistan whereas


At last Baitullah Mehsud, the top Taliban commander in Pakistan has died, of all natural causes. The man commanded more than 20,000 militants from across the region. This was a man who once proclaimed to the world that “there would be no peace without jihad” and US and UK were his prime targets. [...]


That’s what I call inexperience or being naive, on Palin’s part that is. She doesn’t know what to say and what not to. This is where age and maturity counts. Palin may be a governor but she’s just been there for a very short while. She’s yet to learn the nuances of diplomacy. [...]


Very naughty indeed. The President of Pakistan wants to hug Palin. And she’s not even elected yet. Wonder what he would do just in case she does get elected. Give her a kiss or what? And don’t forget guys that Zardari is single these days and a President to boot. And that makes him [...]


It had to happen. It just had to. I mean, I knew that both these parties who were each other’s bitter enemies till just a few months back have only come together because of mutual hatred for Musharraf. After Benazir’s death it only made more sense to team up so that they could pack off [...]


TOP POST

    Okay, of all the TV networks which one was the best debate on match fixing? Well, for me it was the one on Times Now where our dear old Bishen Singh Bedi appeared half drunk. At first it seemed like I was mistaken but when he started talking I was more than convinced that he was indeed three or four drinks down, at least. A couple of drinks more and I'm sure Bedi would've told Arnab Goswami," Oye, Chadd Yaar. Tainu Kee? Aye koi nai gall thodi hai. Salon se ho raya hega. CHEERS!!" or words to that effect. But you can't really blame Bedi for this. What do you expect people to be doing at nine in the evening? Good people work through the day and party in the evenings. Don't they? For that matter, Farouq Engineer who was speaking from Manchester, UK where it was around four thirty in the evening, was seen having a huge cup of coffee (or at least that's my guess) because you are supposed to have coffee at that time......
