MUST READ!! Why Donald Trump consider Pakistan as a the main problem of terrorism.

A nuclear-armed Pakistan is a "very very vital problem", Republican presidential front- runner Donald Trump has said and asserted that the country needs to "get a hold of" its situation.
"Pakistan is a very, very vital problem and really vital country for us because they have a thing called nuclear weapons. They have to get a hold of their situation," Trump told CNN during a town hall in Wisconsin, where the Republican presidential primary is scheduled for April 5.
"When I see that and when I see it put in a park because it was mostly Christians, although many others were killed other than Christians, I think it's just absolutely a horrible story," he said referring to the terrorist attack in Lahore on Easter Sunday that claimed 74 lives and injured over 300 others.
"I'm talking about radical Islamic terrorism. I will solve it far better than anybody else running," Trump said in response to a question.
A large number of people were present at the crowded Gulshan-e-Iqbal Park of Allama Iqbal Town in Lahore when a powerful blast took place on Sunday. A large number of Christian families were present in the park due to Easter Sunday.
The brutal attack by a suicide bomber -- believed to be in his 20s -- was claimed by the Jamaatul Ahrar, a splinter group of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

Hilarious! These memes on the Rs 500 & 1000 notes ban are breaking the Internet! Check out!!!



In a bid to curb black money and corruption, the government will ban Rs 500 and 1,000 notes from midnight, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced in a televised address to the nation.

Modi’s announcement that from midnight of Tuesday, the Rs 500 and 1,000 cash notes won’t be legal tenders anymore took all by surprise.

However, the PM assured that, “There is no need for panic. Your money will remain yours. You need not worry on this point”
He also said that those with Rs 500 and 1,000 notes can deposit them in banks and post offices between November 10 and December 30.

New ₹500 and ₹2000 currency bills will be issued by the Reserve Bank of India.
While the news sent many into a tizzy, it was a piece of information that the meme creators are wetting themselves over.

Check out some of these hilarious memes😂 that might calm you down.

Pakistan warns of action if India breaches Indus Water Treaty

Pakistan today warned of "appropriate action" if India violates the Indus Water Treaty and said it is closely monitoring the situation, amid reports that New Delhi may revisit the key water sharing accord.
"Appropriate action will be taken in line with the Treaty in case of any violation by India," Foreign Office (FO) spokesperson Nafees Zakaria said at the weekly briefing.
Pakistan was keeping a close eye on the situation, Radio Pakistan quoted him as saying.
Zakaria's remarks come amid reports that India may review the 56-year-old Indus Water Treaty.
He said that India is making "desperate attempts" to divert attention from the "atrocities and human right violations" being committed in Kashmir.
He said Pakistan is highlighting Indian brutalities in Kashmir at world fora and there has been "very substantive outcome" of these efforts but the international community remains concerned about the situation.
Responding to a question, he claimed that India violated ceasefire on the Line of Control for more than 90 times this year.
The notion of isolating Pakistan is "ridiculous", Zakaria said, adding that India's "negative attitude" has been exposed which is the biggest hurdle in the way of regional development and prosperity.
He also termed the Indian treatment to the Pakistani artistes as "very disappointing and highly regrettable" as he deplored India's decision to "use SAARC for its political ambition", according to the report.
Zakaria also referred to a media report quoting US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who described tensions between India and Pakistan as a "very, very hot tinderbox" and offered to be "the mediator or arbitrator".
Zakaria noted that though Pakistan does not comment on media reports usually, in this case it welcomed the mediation offer.
"We continue to urge our American friends including those in the administration to play their due role in resolving bilateral issues between Pakistan and India, particularly the Kashmir dispute," he said.
"And definitely Pakistan has welcomed in the past also any role of mediation, we welcome such offers," he added.

Chinese Media Makes Fun Of #BoycottChinese Campaign; Describes Investment in India as 'Suicidal'

The on-going war of words between India and China regarding business relations and trade ties is refusing to subside. In a scathing attack launched by state-sponsored media, a Chinese publication has said that India can only 'bark' when it comes to calls for banning Chinese products.
As per a recent editorial written by' Indian-born freelance writer living in Baiyin, Gansu Province', the campaign unleashed by social media against Chinese products is 'rabble rousing', and it can do no harm to Chinese companies.
The editorial said that products manufactured by India are of low quality, and they can never match what China is producing.
The hate spewing article said: "There has been a lot of talk recently in the Indian media as well as on social media about boycotting Chinese products. It's just rabble rousing. Indian manufacturing cannot compete at all with Chinese products, for various reasons."
The anti-India article published by Global Times in China has described PM Modi's Make in India vision as impractical and baseless. In fact, they have asked Chinese companies not to invest in India, as investing in India is 'suicidal'.
The article said: "It would be completely suicidal for Chinese companies to put their money in India by starting manufacturing projects there. The labour class in India is not very hard working or efficient,"
Terming rising corruption in India, the opinion post made fun of the rising trade deficit between India-China and said that there is no need to change the status-quo, wherein Indian traders go to China and buy cheap products to sell in India.
They said, "Let the Indian authorities bark about the growing trade deficit with China. The fact of the matter is they cannot do anything about it."
No doubt China is somewhat correct in stating that #BoycottChinese campaign failed to garner traction this festive season, as record breaking sales of Chinese products were witnessed across the country.
Chinese crackers have already flooded Delhi's market, and as per data, we import 6 times of what we export to China. The rising trade deficit cannot eradicate within 3 months.
However, the fact of the matter is also that Chinese companies are right now scared of Make in India vision, and are going jittery over rising investments by Chinese companies in India. Not only Huawei, one of the largest electronics manufacturer from China, has announced to start manufacturing in India, but also Foxconn has started shifting base from China into India.
Asus, Gionee, Xiaomi, LeEco and other Chinese electronics majors are also making a beeline for India in order to kick start their manufacturing process.
As per a recent research conducted by Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) states that current conditions in India is better than China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Philippines when it comes to starting a new business or manufacturing goods, and this has certainly irked Chinese media.
As per HKTDC, wages in India are lower compared to China, India has a huge in-house market which is hungry for consumption and India has a stable democracy which has induced a lot trust and belief in the country.
Besides, investors-friendly programs launched by the present Govt. has improved 'Ease of Doing Business' in India, and a massive coastline and smooth in-land transportation with rigorous focus on building infrastructure has put India in a unique position to overtake Chinese economy very soon.
The present anti-India article published by a state-sponsored media from China only amplifies one thing: India is growing faster than China, and they cannot fathom this fact. Using the #BoycottChinese debacle, Chinese media has unleashed a negative propaganda to tarnish India's image.
But they are forgetting that if India bites, then it can be much dangerous than their barks.

China building terrorist corridor in PoK, says Baloch activist

New Delhi: Calling it a China-Pakistan Terrorist Corridor (CPTC) not an Economic Corridor being build by Beijing in the Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir(PoK), Baloch Freedom activist Mazdak Dilshad Baloch has said Islamabad was carrying out a big genocide in Balochistan with China’s help . CPEC is actually a Terrorist Corridor as both these countries were terrorising and murdering Baloch people and burning their villages, displacing population and looting resources, Mazdak said in an interview to Organiser weekly, mouth organ of the RSS. “They (Chinese) dug out around 16 kg gold per day, trucks load of copper, iron coal and many more,” he said. Calling Pakistani Army the biggest terrorist in the world, the Baloch activist said all the countries should stop the military and financial aids to Pakistan as it was being used for terrorist activities and for the genocide of Baloch people. Firmly supporting the September 29 surgical strikes to decimate terrorist launch pads in the PoK region, he said India has taken a right decision. “Kashmir is an integral part of India and there is no reason for Pakistan to interfere in PoJK and Gilgit-Baltistan. Pakistan is using the resources of Gilgit-Baltistan and selling it to China. We stand with India. Steps should be further taken to defend the unarmed and helpless people,” Mazdak said.

MUST READ!! A new war against Pakistan-of words

SOUTH BLOCK always had wordsmiths. But over the last few months, as India works towards naming and shaming Pakistan, their skill is on display more than ever. On Sunday morning, PM Narendra Modi called Pakistan the “mothership of terrorism” at the BRICS summit. And in the evening, at the BRICS-BIMSTEC summit, he said, “Terrorism is Pakistan’s favourite child”.

A few weeks ago, at the United Nations, India described Pakistan as the “Ivy League of terrorism”, which hit global headlines. A top official, entrusted with drafting the PM’s speeches, told The Indian Express, “Ever since the government decided to isolate Pakistan globally, we have been working on his speeches and trying to come up with innovative ways to describe Pakistan’s links with terrorism.”

He said that while South Block doesn’t have a dearth of in-house talent, they have been also reaching out to “outside experts”. “There are retired diplomats, MPs, sometimes even ministers, writers and journalists who are being tapped to give suggestions,” said the official.

The phrase “Ivy League of terrorism” was apparently coined by Indian diplomats in New York. “The intensity and frequency of use of such phrases is an outcome of our diplomatic offensive to isolate Pakistan globally,” said an official.

Traditionally, Pakistan was always described as a country which uses terrorism as an instrument of state policy. “This formulation was used by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh… it was used since the days of Rajiv Gandhi,” said Dilip Sinha, former joint secretary in the Ministry of External Affairs who was in charge of Pakistan.

Amit Shah: Under PM Modi, no one will dare insult our martyrs

BJP president Amit Shah on Sunday said the Narendra Modi government had found a way to secure the nation's fringes and sought after strategies which have made India the quickest developing economy on the planet. "Under the NDA government, nobody will set out affront our saints like Hemraj.

Nobody can set out submit any misfortune and our overcome strengths, because of the administration's solid political will, are prepared to meet all difficulties," he said at a yearly reasonable of broker group at Agroha in Hisar.

CAIT: Chinese goods sale to drop 30% this Diwali

For the last numerous years, there were discussions about getting GST, yet by consolidating all including VAT, Octroi, Service Tax and Excise Duty, Narendra Modi has satisfied the fantasy of brokers. An amazingly bold and unequivocal stride has been taken by Narendra Modi by satisfying GST dream, he said.

Shah said more than 250 activities have been taken by the Modi government to enhance exchange and due to this the nation has pushed ahead in Global Competitive Index. Shah said, "Before financial analysts did not comprehend that this nation is of businesspeople, little merchants, this nation was of individuals who are equipped for taking a shot at their own.

No one can offer occupation to 125 crore individuals. BJP has empowered the adolescent of this nation of giving occupation through independent work plans." He offered supplications at the primary sanctuary at Agroha Dham. His child Jay Shah was likewise present at the occasion that was a piece of a practice to rally around different standings and sub-positions connected to the Vaishya people group.

MUST READ!! China Confirms Export of 8 Submaries to Pakistan

In this handout image supplied by Host photo agency / RIA Novosti, The submarine 'Magnitogorsk' at a rehearsal of the navy parade to mark the 70th anniversary of Victory in the 1941-1945 Great Patriotic War, May 7, 2015 in Baltiysk, Russia. (Photo : Getty Images)

China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation has confirmed it will deliver eight submarines to Pakistan, China People's Daily reported.

The corporation has reportedly held a meeting to discuss and set the details of the arrangements. The move aims to continue the process of spirit started by Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Belt and Road Construction Network Symposium, Hu Wenming, chairman of the corporation, said according to the Daily Times.

Back in April, Reuters reported that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif approved the deal dubbed as "one of China's largest overseas weapon sales once it is signed." The agreement is estimated to cost between $4 billion and $5 billion, the International News reported.

Half of the submarines will allegedly be built at Karachi Shipyard and Engineering Works (KSEW), while the other half will be assembled in China.

Experts speculate that the new submarine will be a lighter export version of the People Liberation Army Navy's Type 039 and Type 041 Yuan-class conventional attack submarine, without the AIP system, which is believed to be obtained independently, Daily Pakistan noted.

The first submarine will reportedly be delivered in 2022, and another three by the end of 2023, according to the Chief Project Director of the program as reported by Quwa. The remaining batch from KSEW will be delivered by the end of 2018.

Over the years, both countries have strengthened military cooperation. "China and Pakistan are neighbors of traditional friendship with close cooperation in various fields. The normal cooperation between the two sides in the field of military industry and trade is in line with their respective international commitment," Hua Chunying, the country's foreign ministry spokesperson, said about the deal last year.

Daily Pakistan reported that the Pakistan Navy has been continuously upgrading its undersea warfare capabilities. Earlier this year, Turkish state-owned contractor STM won in a bid for the upgrade of three Agosta 90-B class (or Khalid-class) diesel-electric attack submarines equipped with air-independent propulsion systems.

India too must learn from China

India's idea, lead and approaches frequently need reality and a feeling of ground reality. They frequently appear a flat impersonation of the West, in view of speculations of geopolitics of a past age.

In this media-ruled age where buildup and craziness win, perspectives of Pakistanis and Indians about each other and their particular universes keep on colliding. The inclination to accept the most noticeably bad about each other and to completely capitulate to hyper nationalistic wraths is a lamentable imperfection. In awesome measure, this stems from a mind of dread and weakness, which is obvious in vociferous wistfulness.

Goa: India Will Try To Rally BRICS Against Terror, Pakistan

Balance this with the Chinese. A country and a civilization that has through a large number of years kept up its balance and certainty and a steady conviction and confidence in its magnificent future. China's civilization renaissance, its change into an awesome power, and extensive collection of its national quality are the most noteworthy improvements of this century.

Most remarkably, President Xi Jinping's One Belt, One Road activity gives the responses to the topical inquiries of our times. A comprehensive recommendation to manufacture halls and availability for tranquil trade and common thriving. A victory model of collaboration among the countries of the world. The Eurasian land connect and sea courses, which are intended to grow roads of advancement and thriving on a scale not saw ever some time recently. To put it plainly, geo-financial aspects instead of geopolitics is the path forward in a world grieved by strife and struggle and riven by disagreements of class, belief, mythologies and philosophies.

Viewed from Islamabad, India's rancor against Pakistan and its delirious policies to undo and reshape political geography, all this while it faces multiple internal conflicts and insurgencies, not to mention teeming poverty and tremendous challenges of social and economic development, are indeed incomprehensible.

China has organized financial advancement. It is set up to guarantee the improvement of its close and far neighbors. It is not keen on fanning clashes and debate or in instigating insurrections or making shakiness in its neighborhood.

The China Pakistan Economic Corridor is a leader venture of the Belt and Road. It is making extraordinary steps towards constructing and redesigning availability amongst Pakistan and China. It conceives mechanical and monetary zones and the utilization of ports on the Arabian Sea for serene business. In a genuine sense, it is a distinct advantage for Pakistan and could convey incredible improvement and flourishing to the locale all in all. Iran and in the end Afghanistan will see the value of CPEC and would be welcome to join this venture for shared thriving.

India calls out Pakistan lie over surgical strike ‘bluff’, reduces it to ‘laughing stock’

The News International Pakistan’s story titled “Indian FS admits surgical strikes was a bluff” is completely concocted and baseless,” Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) official spokesperson Vikas Swarup said in a tweet. (PTI)
India today rubbished Pakistan for ‘concocting’ a story on FS S Jaishankar ”admiting” that surgical strike conducted by Indian Army was nothing but a ”bluff”, Pakistan claims the entire report was baseless.

“The News International Pakistan’s story titled “Indian FS admits surgical strikes was a bluff” is completely concocted and baseless,” Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) official spokesperson Vikas Swarup said in a tweet. He further stated that German Ambassador Dr Martin Ney was in the group of foreign envoys briefed by the Foreign Secretary on September 29 on the surgical strikes and that “they have had no further conversation since on this subject.”

A leading Pakistan publication called the ‘surgical strike’ conducted by Indian Army a ”drama” and India has called out its lie turning the Pakistan establishment into a joke.

Quoting an ‘informed official’ source, the daily had reported that, “the Pakistani mission had been told that during a formal meeting on the issue of the ongoing India-Pakistan stand-off between German Ambassador to India Dr Martin Ney and Indian FS Subramaniam Jaishankar in New Delhi, “the Indian Foreign Secretary has categorically denied and said that there was no ‘surgical strike’ undertaken by Indian Army inside Azad Kashmir (Pakistan occupied Kashmir), Pakistan”.

Acccording to Pakistani daily Pakistani authorities reported that ”by its mission during the discussion Ms Rukhsana briefed the officials about relentless atrocities being committed by Indian army in Kashmir that have resulted in thousand of injuries, including people blinded by pellet gun shots and deaths of almost 100 Kashmiris.”

Needless to say the Pakistan report stands rejected and in the international community, Pak’s stature stands even further diminished.

Modi's memo to Rawalpindi: This India is tough, deal with it

Despite warning that there will be a strong and befitting response to Uri at a time and location of India’s choosing, the Pakistani Army was caught napping.  The Indians struck and struck hard, knocking the swagger out of the two Sharifs   —  Raheel, who did not want to miss the jaunt to Europe amidst the red-hot tensions in the sub-continent, and Nawaz, who, whether  in Pakistan or out in Panama counting the stolen billions, matters  little anyway.
An element of surprise is always crucial in covert and overt warfare. Both organised armies and non-state actors rely on it. The Indian Army last Thursday raided at least 3 km inside Pakistan-occupied Kashmir to neutralise scores of terrorists. It was an extraordinary act.  And marked the beginning of the beginning of the certain end of terrorism in the sub-continent as we have known it thus far.
Had our  armed forces been empowered  to undertake such reprisals when Pakistan first began to `bleed India through  a thousand  cuts’  some three decades back, in all probability Pakistan would have ceased harassing us by now. Or the matters could have come to a head with some conclusion reached about the terms of engagement between the two nuclear-armed  neighbours.
In the absence of an effective Indian response so far, India-Pakistan relations had meandered aimlessly, with periodic engagements of the diplomatic kind followed by long months of sullenness induced by terror atrocities  in between.
After the Uri attack and its consequences, the Rawalpindi GHQ will finally come to terms  that a `new’ leader is in place in India. India’s first post-Independence born Prime Minister Narendra Modi is  not to be held back by the usual fears and concerns that had assailed  his predecessors. A new, assertive India, the third largest economy in the world in purchasing power parity, is no longer ready to turn the other cheek even as a rogue nation seeks to torment it constantly. Just as well that Modi  called its bluff.
Yet, the powerful Sharif  — not the one who is a  dummy  — is bound to respond sooner than later, particularly  since the clock is ticking against him. Due  to retire next month, Sharif  would like to come up with a demonstrable riposte so that he can get an extension as Army chief. Following the  Indian reprisal Sharif’s ‘moochh’ has begun to sag.  Otherwise his stock with `aam’ Pakistanis was quite high, especially when  the Pakistani Army began to go  after  `bad’ terrorists  following the massacre  of school kids in Peshawar in December 2014.
Notwithstanding some  rotten elements in Kashmir Valley, who mourned  the death of two Pakistani soldiers in the post-Uri operation,  the parasitical Hurriyat crowd will  definitely want to tamp down its stone-throwing display following the unmistakable message of strength sent out to Pakistan. If it cannot be business as usual on the Line of Control, it cannot be business as usual in Kashmir too. In short, not only the Generals in Rawalpindi GHQ but the fat-cat Geelanis and Maliks in Srinagar too were put on notice: Behave, or else…

When all else fails, the use of force becomes not only unavoidable  but a bounden duty.  From the way the surgical strikes were carried out, it was clear that all concerned had learnt their lessons from the over-the-top reaction to the Myanmar operation last year. On all fronts — military, diplomatic, political, media, etc — there was a clear demonstration of  maturity and perfect coordination. Small wonder, then, everyone, bar Sita Ram Yechury, who could not shun the `talk- with- them’ dirge even on this rare day of national unity,  in the Opposition felt obliged to endorse the Army action.
More likely than not the Uri reprisal could  be the beginning of a series of events which might detract from the on-going efforts to boost development and economic growth  — the only plausible excuse of the weak for the strategic restraint exercised till Uri.  We should be prepared to  take on the chin what Pakistan might  t

MUST READ!! ‘If Pak sells nuclear knowledge, will you publish it?’ Minister’s bizarre comparison

Pakistan Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Thursday hinted that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's cabinet might even consider selling of 'nuclear knowledge' to overcome financial crisis being faced by the country.

Some recent reports in the Pakistani media also said the government has, after motorway and airports, decided to mortgage PTV and Radio Pakistan buildings in order to secure loans.

Addressing a press conference on Thursday, the Pakistani Interior Minister said, "Someday I call one of you my friend and suppose tell you that a meeting has been conducted and it has been decided that Pakistan is under huge economic crunch and will so sell its nuclear knowledge; so, now you tell me, you are a journalist, but you are a Pakistani too, wouldn't you be able to understand that what could be the implications for Pakistan if I publish this news?"

He drew this parallel in a bid to justify putting Dawn journalist Cyril Almeida on the Exit Control List (ECL).

The Pakistan Government a couple of days back put Almeida on the ECL after the Dawn published a report, denied by authorities, by him about an alleged rift between the country's powerful military and its government. During the conference, Khan also said, "An attempt has been made to adversely impact a critical national security paradigm, so there should be an inquiry... Indian media used the report, saying that publication of the story verifies the Indian narrative of Pakistani dealings with non-state actors."

We have tight military relations with India, says Russian minister countering Pakistan bonhomie

As India plays host to the BRICS summit this year, India-Russia dynamics are being watched very closely.

An old ally of India, Russia has ruffled feathers with its joint army exercise with Pakistan ahead of the BRICS. While a naval exercise has been conducted in the past, it was strictly a counter narcotic operation drill. A full fledged military exercise between Pakistan and Russia has set the alarm bells ringing in India.

In an exclusive interview with India Today, Russian Trade and Industry Minister, Denis Valentinovich Manutrov revealed that Russia's key defence deals are on the card to re-enforce defence ties between Moscow and New Delhi.

"We have very tight relations with India, specially with military co-operation and supplying military equipment. We have strong relations in industrial co-operation. We are looking forward to more facilities and new military industrial co-operation, not only in aviation, land forces but also in other spheres. Military industry is always like a locomotive for civil industries," said Manturov.

DEFENCE DEALS

One of the key defence deals between Moscow and New Delhi at BRICS is going to be the 200 Kamov Ka-226T helicopters. While KA-226T will replace ageing Cheetah and Chetak choppers, the Russian industry minister confirmed to India Today, how its components will be manufactured in India.

"We are looking forward for civil industry co-operation like helicopter KA-226T for which Mr Modi decided to establish the assembly manufacturing in India. We are finalising the details of the contract of this project," said Manturov to India Today.

Talking about a joint co-operation in military deals, Russian minister emphasised on proposal to set up production unit of its regional aircraft Illyushin IL-114 in India.

"We are in discussion for the co-operation in the original Sukhoi jets to produce components by Indian companies, as well as, new project for Turboprop regional aircraft IL-114. We are willing to have co-operation in this project. So, we have a wide range of projects not only in military but civil areas as well," said Manturov ahead of the BRICS summit in Goa.

Secure Afghan In The Interest Of Both India And Pakistan: US

The US has reiterated that peace in Afghanistan will be in the interest of both India and Pakistan, the two South Asian nuclear-armed neighbours.

"With regard to Afghanistan, it's in the interests of both India and Pakistan to see a stable, secure Afghanistan emerge from the years of fighting," US State Department deputy spokesperson Mark Toner said in the daily press briefing here on Thursday.

He was responding to a question on a group of Pakistani envoys carrying the message that Pakistan would not let have peace in Afghanistan unless US helped "solve" the Kashmir issue.


"And certainly, in the interest of regional security as well, there's a lot of contentious issues, as you note, between India and Pakistan, but the two countries we would encourage to take a more conciliatory approach to each other and to work through some of these issues for the greater good of the region," Toner said.

Tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated with the Indian Army carrying out surgical strikes across the Line of Control (LoC) last month in Jammu and Kashmir on terror launch pads.

This came in the wake of the September 18 cross-border terror attack on an army base at Uri in Jammu and Kashmir in which 19 Indian soldiers lost their lives.

India has blamed the Pakistan-based terrorist outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed for the attack.

In September, India, the US and Afghanistan held a trilateral meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session in New York, the first such since 2013.

Both the US and Afghanistan appreciated India's role in development work in the war-torn South Asian nation.

MUST READ!! 2 Suspected Pakistani Spies Arrested In Kutch

Two suspected ISI agents have been arrested in Gujrat state. Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) arrested them as they are allegedly working as spies for Pakistan's intelligence agency ISI, police said.

Both of them were arrested last night from Kutch district, which shares border with the neighbouring country.



"ATS was keeping a close watch on the movement of two residents of Khavda village of Kutch for last one year on the suspicion that they are working as spies of Pakistan's ISI. Both of them were held by ATS today," a police official said on the condition of anonymity.

"We have learnt that ATS has recovered one Pakistani SIM card along with a mobile phone during the search of their house," he added.
The arrest comes amid rising tension between India and Pakistan.

MUST READ!! An extension for Gen Sharif would mean Pak is planning a war

An extension for General Raheel Sharif in November would only mean that Pakistan is readying for a major military offensive against India.

All eyes will be on Pakistan and India would watch with keen interest if General Raheel Sharif is given an extension or not. General Sharif is due to retire as the chief of the army in November.

Indian officials say that what plays out in Pakistan in November would be a signal for us. If the general is given an extension then it would clearly mean that Pakistan is readying for a major conflict with India. However, going by the indications in Pakistan, the civilian government wants tensions with India to reduce.


For now, there is talk that General Sharif would like to avenge the surgical strikes carried out by India. His cloak of invincibility has gone following this strike and he would be looking to hit back.

India says going by the mood in the Pakistan establishment, they would be looking to retaliate. General Sharif in particular wants to strike back and this could be in the form of a military offensive or a terrorist attack. While the civilian government is indicating that it wants a peaceful solution, the mood is not the same in the army.

Officials say that a lot would be known by November when General Sharif is due to retire. He had said some months back he does not wish to seek an extension. However the situation was different at that time. This time around going by his mood, he wants to strike back and avenge the surgical strike

. The question is will Prime Minister Nawaz Sharrif offer him an extension. Unlikely for now say observers, but also add that if he is granted an extension it is a clear signal that Pakistan wants conflict with India.

It’s official: Video evidence of surgical strikes won’t be released

The government has decided for now it will NOT release any evidence of the surgical strikes and the damage caused to the terror launch pads in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, arguing that doing so would push the Pakistan Army into a corner.

Top sources in the government reported that “war is not in India’s interest at this point’ but “that does not, however, mean that we won’t fight and win a war if it is forced upon us’.

Highlighting the diplomatic success of the surgical strikes, sources said that no country has objected to India’s action, including Pakistan’s closest ally, China. Most statements have been in India’s support, including from the Islamic world. The military operations, sources said, were timed after the United Nations General Assembly meeting was over in New York to avoid complications “which would have diverted our attention and diplomatic energies”.

The announcement that Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan would be the chief guest at the next Republic Day celebrations — it was made after the strike ‘” was also part of the government’s diplomatic strategy. Sources said the United States was not informed by the government before the Army carried out the surgical strikes.

The telephone call between National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and his American counterpart, Susan Rice, that morning also did not mention any specific details about the military operations although he dropped adequate hints that some military activity may have taken place on the Line of Control (LoC), sources said.

“We will never be strategically subservient to any country, including the United States. That has been our policy since Nehru’s time; it was what even non-alignment was about. We have worked closely with various world powers over the years, but we will never give up our decisional autonomy,” sources said.

The success of the surgical strikes, sources said, had removed the sense of helplessness that had gripped the country after every previous terror attack. The biggest gain has been the demonstration of national will, along with the decisional autonomy and capability to exercise options, sources said.

Pak's India flight likely to run into the 'relationship' hurdle

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), the lone carrier maintaining direct air connectivity between India and Pakistan, may face the heat as a fall out of the strained relations between the two countries.

The government is considering stepping up surveillance and vigil of PIA flights that land in Delhi and Mumbai, top sources told HT.

A major safety finding or a lapse can result in the plane being grounded by the Indian aviation safety regulator.

While no Indian carrier flies to Pakistan, PIA operates to Delhi and Mumbai.

"The possible steps that can be taken were discussed at a recent high-level meeting at the Rajiv Gandhi Bhawan, the headquarters of the aviation ministry.

Increased inspection and surveillance was one of them ," a source said.

"We have briefed senior government officials. The decision, if any, will not be taken at our level," said a ministry official, who did not wish to be named.

Sources also said that there is a complete checklist and a set procedure for inspection, which includes external inspection of the aircraft, checks on whether the plane is airworthy, if the documentation is complete and cargo loading is according to procedure, and a check on the certification and licences, among others.

The government is also considering reviewing air links with Pakistan, HT had reported earlier. New Delhi is also reviewing the 56-year-old Indus Waters Treaty to explore ways to make optimum use of water from Pakistan-controlled rivers - as stipulated in the agreement, but not enforced fully.

These are part of non-military retributive steps the NDA government has initiated after the Uri attack, apart from stepping up efforts to isolate Pakistan diplomatically.

India had snapped air links and overflying facilities with Pakistan after the Parliament attack in December 2001.
