Pakistan's #Shiagenocide - KAIRA URGES PAKISTAN GOVERNMENT TO HELP IRAN IN BORDER GUARDS RECOVERY

The government of Pakistan, with all of its efforts, should try its best to locate the abducted Iranian border guards, said the former information minister and central leader of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Qamar Zaman Kaira in an interview.

He said that this is very unfortunate incident occurred with the brotherly Muslim country of Iran.

On October 15, Iran announced terrorists had kidnapped the Iranian forces, including local Basij volunteer forces and border guards, near the town of Mirjaveh on the Pakistani border in southeastern Iran. Jaish al-Adl Terrorist group has claimed responsibility for the act. In this regards, there has been contact between the Directors General (Military Operations) of Iran and Pakistan.Kaira added Pakistan Baluchistan Province is a disturbed area where even Pakistan’s own security forces have been attacked and abducted many times in the past.
“This is a serious issue and the government of Pakistan with the help of its intelligence agencies and other resources should try all efforts to trace the kidnapped Iranian border guards,” said the provincial president of PPP.
He expressed confidence that Pakistan is pursuing the case very seriously to learn about the whereabouts of the Iranian border guards.

He described as a real phenomenon emergence of terrorist and extremist groups hiding in northwestern and southwestern parts of Pakistan. The Pakistani politician went on to blame the instability in some parts of Pakistan on the situation in Afghanistan.

“Pakistani state is the biggest victim of terrorism,” he said, describing Afghanistan as basically the major reason behind the disturbances in some parts of the country.

Commander of the Ground Forces of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Mohammad Pakpour had also traveled to Islamabad to discuss with Pakistani officials the fate of abducted Iranian border guards.
Meanwhile, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Baqeri had also spoken to Pakistan Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa, asking Islamabad to take prompt action to arrest kidnappers of Iranian border guards.

U.S., EU nations express 'serious concerns' about Pakistan's aid group crackdown

Drazen Jorgic

Western nations, including the United States and European countries, have expressed “serious concerns” to Pakistan’s new Prime Minister Imran Khan about a crackdown on aid groups, diplomats said.

Pakistan has long viewed foreign-funded aid groups with suspicion and many members of the powerful military believe that Western countries often use such groups as a cover for spying.Diplomats and foreign journalists also face severe restrictions on their movements in the nuclear-armed nation.

At least 18 international aid agencies, most of them working on human rights issues, were ordered to leave Pakistan over recent months after being refused registration.The countries have written a letter to Khan saying the groups did not get a proper explanation for why the government had ordered them out and they criticized a “lack of transparency” in the registration process.“We are writing to express serious concerns with respect to recent developments,” the countries said in the letter seen by Reuters. Four diplomats confirmed its authenticity.

“Restriction on civil society risks affecting Pakistan’s international reputation as a genuine partner on human developments and undermining confidence of the international donor and business community,” they said in the letter.

Neither Khan’s office nor the foreign ministry had any immediate comment on the letter, which was signed by envoys from the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, Norway and Switzerland.The European Union ambassador signed on behalf of the 17 EU countries with missions in Pakistan, including Britain and France.A similar letter was sent to the Interior Ministry in September, diplomatic sources say.

The 18 aid organizations were appealing against their expulsion orders, issued late last year to 27 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in all.The Western envoys said the impact of expelling the groups would be “significant”, and warned that it would imperil some of development goals championed by Khan, who was elected in July on a populist platform to help the poor.“Restricting INGO operations will affect millions of poor Pakistanis. In 2017 alone, the INGO sector reached 34 million people with humanitarian relief and development assistance,” the counties aid in their letter, referring to international NGOs.“This will mean thousands of Pakistanis employed by INGOs and local partners may lose their jobs.”

One of the 18 groups facing closure, ActionAid, which focuses on education, poverty alleviation and human rights, said this month the expulsion of the groups was part of a broader pattern.“Pakistan’s decision to shut down ActionAid and other International NGOs is a worrying escalation of recent attacks on civil society, academics and journalists,” the group said.Media groups have warned of a more difficult environment for them with increasing censorship and threats from the military, which denies intimidation.

#Pakistan - #PPP - #MadarEJamhuriat - Begum Nusrat Bhutto took to the streets against a tyrant; gave hope to nation: Aseefa

The daughter of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Aseefa Bhutto Zardari has said  In her Twitter message on the seventh death anniversary of Begum Nusrat Bhutto she has said, “Remembering the valiant and selfless #MadarEJamhuriat today. My grandmother Begum Nusrat Bhutto,the first lady of Pakistan. Who took to the streets against a tyrant & gave a nation hope. We remember forever,her courage,her struggle,her strength,her grace, & most of all,her love.”

Nusrat Ispahani was born on 23 March 1929 in Esfahan, Iran, hailing from the wealthy Hariri family. Her father was a wealthy Iranian Kurdish businessman who initially lived in Bombay and the moved to Karachi, Pakistan before the independence of Pakistan in 1947.Before emigrating to Pakistan, Nusrat attended and was educated at the University of Isfahan where she obtained a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Humanities in 1950. Nusrat met Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in Karachi where they got married on 8 September 1951.She was Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s second wife, and they had four children together: Benazir, Murtaza, Sanam and Shahnawaz. With the exception of Sanam, she outlived her children. Benazir’s widower and Nusrat’s son-in-law Asif Ali Zardari was the President of Pakistan from 9 September 2008 till 8 September 2013.

As first lady from 1973 to 1977, Nusrat Bhutto functioned as a political worker and accompanied her husband on a number of overseas visits. In 1979, after the trial and execution of her husband, she succeeded her husband as leader of the Pakistan Peoples Party as chairman for life. She led the PPP’s campaign against General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq’s regime. Alongside her daughter Benazir Bhutto, she was arrested numerous times and placed under house arrest and in prison in Sihala. Nusrat Bhutto was attacked by police with batons while attending a cricket match at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, when the crowd began to raise pro Bhutto slogans.

In 1982, ill with cancer, she was given permission to leave the country by the military government of General Zia-ul-Haq for medical treatment in London at which point her daughter, Benazir Bhutto, became acting leader of the party, and, by 1984, the party chairman.

After returning to Pakistan in the late 1980s, she served two terms as a Member of Parliament to the National Assembly from the family constituency of Larkana, Sindh. During the administrations of her daughter Benazir, she became a cabinet minister and Deputy Prime Minister. In the 1990s, she and Benazir became estranged when Nusrat took the side of her son Murtaza during a family dispute but were later reconciled after Murtaza’s murder. She lived the last few years of her life with her daughter’s family in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and later suffered from the combined effects of a stroke and Alzheimer’s disease.

Bhutto was suspected of suffering from cancer in 1982, the year when she left Pakistan for medical treatment. For the last several years of her life, she had also been suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. In the mid-1990s, particularly after the death of her son Mir Murtaza Bhutto in 1996, she withdrew from public life. Party sources suggest this may also have coincided with the time that she began to show symptoms of Alzheimer’s.[citation needed]

According to her senior party leader, Bhutto’s disease was so advanced that she was even unaware of the assassination of her daughter, Benazir. She used a ventilator until her last days. She died at age of 82 at Iranian Hospital Dubai on 23 October 2011.Her body was flown to her hometown of Garhi Khuda Bakhsh in Larkana District the next day, and was buried next to her husband and children in the Bhutto family mausoleum at a ceremony attended by thousands of mourners.
