RAW Terror Watch

I very well remember the evening when the door bell rang of my rented home and as soon as I opened the gate, the two youths barged in, one of them holding a revolver-- sector in-charge of the MQM. the other guy was the one from whom I had purchased a computer on installments, was good on payment and was at the time living with my ex-wife, grand daughter of Shaheed Allah Bakhsh Soomro-- had Soomro not been assassinated in 1943 the nonsense named Pakistan would not have been created. It was shocking since there was no reason for such an armed banditry. So I immediately called the rich mohajir businessman who had helped with the deal and thankfully at the same time a cousin and my secret lover arrived. The mohajir businessman seemed to have told the MQM thugs they were messing with the wrong guy. So thankfully the armed MQM sector incharge left without harming me or taking back my desk top computer. The experience was quite shocking and was in fact one of the main reasons that I lef...

Pakistan allegation that India sponsored the $15 million ads in Geneva, London, Manchester and New York appear to be  mind boggling as Baloch Gandhi Mama Qadeer, seen here with his grandson Beuragh Reki in the Holy City of Varanasi, was helped by Hindu spiritual leader Jitendranand Sarasawati as Indian government officials did not support him at all. Three Baloch militant groups, whose main leaders are allegedly based thousands of miles away from the battlefields of Balochistan, have announced they have reached an agreement on joint actions against the Pakistan occupation troops. The Republican News Network cited Sarbaz Baloch, spokesman for the Baloch Republican Army, as announcing the agreement, though the main question why they were separate in the first place was not answered at all. The brief handout twice mentioned the words "policy statement" and said the central leaders of the Baloch Republican Army, United Baloch Army and Lashkar-i-Balochistan after ...

Picture courtesy Dr Nazir Bhatti The government of Pakistan has begun censoring one of the main news web sites that covers the stories about the plight of Christians in Pakistan. Dr Nazir Bhatti, publisher of the Pakistan Christian Post, confirmed that web pages of his news site have been censored in Pakistan.

Daughters of Aasia Bibi, who faces hangman...

Almost anyone who does objective journalism, research or lobbies for curtailing the ISI influence in Pakistan politics almost immediately becomes an unwanted person and either gets killed or flees Pakistan. The latest to flee Pakistan is Taha Siddiqui, a journalist, who has applied for asylum in France. Taha Siddiqui spoke at the conference in Geneva and will again be speaking there in March, according to a reporter in Geneva. Now in Western safety, Siddiqui tweeted Tuesday, "Pakistan Army needs to really decide if it wants to further iasolate Pakistan globally or stop sponsoring proxies." Taha Siddiqui was also sympathetic towards the Baloch demanding freedom from Pakistan and escaped a kidnapping attempt by Pakistan secret services. Though the name of the ISI surfaces in most cases, another brutal organization targeting journalists and political activists is the Military Intelligence. All fertile minds, whether local or foreign, are unwanted in Pakistan. One of ...

Such incidents are not uncommon in that area, an...
