Three Pakistani militants held in Mumbai Reports
Nobody can say for sure who carried out the Mumbai attacks at this time. However, Indians are very quick to say that they were attackers from Pakistan. Did attackers share their passports with Indian authorities before attacking? Furthermore they are still stating that investigations are ongoing and nothing can be said for certain yet. Yet, Pakistan is mentioned in one way or another.
Sorry event as it is in Mumbai, this is not the time to throw unsupported accusations on Pakistan. Indian media also seemed quite keen to get terrorists to mention Pakistan, to the extent of putting words in their mouth, like when during conversation one of the assailant said he was from Hyderabad, the reporter immediately said Pakistan.

ISI faces questions over old jihadi assets
We the people of the subcontinent know how rich and intelligent people using the young bloods (who could the assets of a nation) to full fill their own purpose. In the 21st century if we still continue to give priority to fundamentalist views about religion, rather than stressing on general values as an human beings, we will still hold back in every aspect of life.
These mindless hypnotised jehadisis dont understand this but let us all agree that problems cannot be solved by just killing civilians.

Country out of the woods now, says SBP governor
Governor Dr Shamshad Akhtar deserves all the respect for her knowledge and leadership. However, the so called leaders who call them selves rulers have to change their mind set. The rulers are elected by the people to serve them and not rule them. Strict & punitive measures have to be taken to eliminate money spending on the rulers.

Let us not blame Pakistans problems on Palestine or Kashmir. Our politicians are the real problems.We need new dedicated and honest leaders.

Pleasure and pain, loss and gain
Timely article on a global issue of the times from Mr Irfan Husain.
The major country that is conspicuously missing in the article is the U.S., and perhaps discussion of the European Union as a unit. The world is ever so interlinked as Irfan rightly pointed out. Are we heading to a world where one countrys problem becomes the whole worlds problem? If so, this downturn is meaningful. Let us help and be helped, to make a better world.

People in Pakistan are not seeing this problem in the eye, there is still time before this dark force takes over the entire Pakistan in its grip. People like Mr. Irfan are doing a great job of informing people of the dangers which lies ahead.

Three Pakistani militants held in Mumbai Reports
I think better sense needs to prevail on part of Indian leadership. India has always been quick in pointing fingers at Pakistan for whatever ill happens there. Without concrete evidence, at such an early stage and without any serious investigations, such a blame can at best be termed as highly immaturish and irresponsible on part of Indian leadership. Pakistan itself is a victim of terrorism and at this critical time in history, it would be stupid to even think that Pakistan would like to undertake any step that could implicate it in such like incidents.

Indian security forces arrest Pakistani militant
If one looks at the pictures of those terrorists one can easily see an orange colored thread on the right wrist of one guy whose pictures are widely posted on the web in news. It is the guy who entered the train station and then the hotel. In all of his pictures an orange thread is visible clearly. These threads are called Rakshabandhan, a holy thread that Hindus reverently wear on their wrist.
