That was standard Indian line. Blame Pakistan for everything. It is sad to see a Pakistani poster buying that line hook line and sinker,
The reality is that blaming Pakistan was just a ploy to hide the fact that Unkil Sam had put the huge bamboozle up Indian pipeline.
It is hard to buy Mushy/Altaf angle.
Immie Khan and TuQ were they players in dharna. No?
It was Immie Khan and TuQ who are trying to pull down the country and system,
Bhai jaan
Like you, Brig retd Samson was also trying to save his "favorite" general. Like you everyone is ready to believe in "his general" and blame the "other general". Which is really pathetic.
Bottom line is that some in-service army officers did give a wrong message to Immie Khan...
Nair bhai
you are now going to needless arguments. "Iranian proud people" is not valid in international trades.
Yes Iranian money is stuck in Indian banks for now,
Peace

Chahbhar investment was most likely part of "barter". Because India could not pay directly for imported oil.
Once Iran comes out of sanctions, they will go with international tender most like with a chinese company for chahbahar.
Undersea pipeline will still pass through or...
Listen to PTI stalwart Brig retd Samson
you may change your statement as "straight from Ghoray kay moonh say" (straight from horses mouth)
Ab pata nahih woh samson ka agla moonh tha ya pichla
Samson clearly described the role of "jackals" around Immi Khan and how Immi Khan became a pathetic...
That's a business decision. Why to spend billion(s) of precious dollars to construct (and maintain) something that may not be used for 5 years?
Pipeline is a giant chemical transfer system that needs to be maintained 24 hours.
Those precious billions can be used elsewhere.
FYI
Indians ran...
Chinese cannot alter international banking system.
They too skirt around the system using some sort of barter trade.
So in summary, Iran has to fully come out of sanctions perhaps in few years before pipeline project will be viable.
Bhai jaan
Indian trade with Iran is really really limited right now. There is only one bank that can transact with Iran and even that is via "proxies" (using internet term here).
Any other Indian bank doing open transactions with Iranian will immediately be sanctioned.

Not sure what you are trying to get at. .
The article you quoted was talking about bickering and bumbling politicians and sad state of our political system.
Oh bhai jaan
political systems evolve over time. Will we need 200 years to evolve. I hope not.
But for any nation, a good working...
Pakistan and India BOTH are banned from the pipeline project.
And no, Pakistan cannot move forward with such proejct, unless you want our banks to be sanctioned by international regulators.
International trade is a serious matter. Please do not use emotional rhetoric to cloud your judgement...
Bhai jaan,
Difference in perspective. That's all.
No snide remarks. Just criticism of PMLN opponents as they are hell bent on creating instability.
Businessmen hate instability.
Hope you understand.
Thanks
Bhai jaan
I stand correct on the term "Noo-Kuller" hhahahah
Ok back to the essay you quoted
The problem is that many in media including this essay are trying to compare Pakistani political system of 2015 with European political systems of 2015.
This is like comparing apples to oranges...
Bhai jaan
The author of OP is a "business-man" doing real work.
your point is valid for those doing dharna marna and confrontation with LEA.
In someways, your post reminds us the hateful ramblings of the mad man called Altaf Hussain,
Peace
The author is a businessman. Obviously he is...
Well said.
Sadly it won't be possible.
Remember, it was typical before 1947, that given one Muslim owned shop and one Hindu shop in the same market, how shoppers behaved?
1. Muslim shoppers bought stuff from both Hindu and Muslim shop owners.
2. Hindu shoppers would never buy stuff from...
As your deal old prez would say "Nooklier"
Oh bhai jaan
Nooklier walooklier is no gaurantee for either Pakistan or Bharat.
These countries have been downed by maurading hoards for 1000s of years.
next time around it will be very very similar.
The only thing that stands between utter...
It is not the mistrust, but the caste system that thwarts peace in the region.
Modern day Bharatis expect Pakistanis to be lower caste (if not down right untouchable)
While Pakistanis think we are upper caste.
Hence the failure to establish a communication.
