Wrong again, like I mentioned in my previous post. India has recognized Palestine in 1988. It is the SAME policy and unchanged. What electioneering was going on in 1988? Did the Palestinians plan their statehood bid to time with the UP elections? Here is another tidbit, even if the NDA govt. was...
Actually Saleem Shazad had been reporting for about 20 years and he had some major scoops like video interviews with important militants and even recordings of Khalid Khwaja and Col. Imam. Not to mention that he also reported on plans to attack the Naval base in Karachi and even PAF bases elsewhere.
I think the author makes some really valid points. I was one of those really disappointed that Mamta Banerjee played politics with an important neighbour especially a country where she is or atleast was very revered and more popular than even PM Singh. If the local BD media was any indication...
Actually, India supported the Palestinians even when it WAS NOT directly beneficial. This began right from the days prior to independence and after where they opposed the division of land on the basis of religion. Remember the days of secular leftist PLO? India was supportive of the PLO and...
India has already recognized Palestine back in 1988. This is a continuation of a police that we have already in place. There is no CHANGE in the policy. Israel is well aware of this and did not even ask India otherwise.
And during the BJP led NDA as well this was clearly reiterated.
All I know about former NSA MK Narayan is that if there ever was a person who destroyed our intelligence capabilities through corruption this one took the cake. In the years where we had just had the Kargil war and the 2002 parliament attacks, he oversaw corruption over the NTRO. Scams related...
Where in the news report does Blair actually say the words "destroy Israel"??
She is being critical about the situation of the Palestinians and if you heard the entire speech, she is more critical of the Arab League and other arab govt.s on not helping the Palestinians.
Actually, the...

I don't see the logic in connecting trade and investment by saudi businessmen to covert private donor funding to extremists groups or extremists madrassas. These are two different things.
Investments in business and trade should be encouraging and extremists groups should be banned and their...

How does Nawaz Sharif "gain" by speaking about friendly relations with India?
It takes guts to speak the truth despite hostility and chicken hawks branding him a traitor. Kudos to him.
^^^^I was referring to the author as bigoted and biased. Hence why I said that it would be unproductive to discuss this particular article.
If there are valid themes in this article, it would be better to discuss it separately.
For eg. what are you suppose to say when the author says that Al...
muse, I think by now you would know that there is no use arguing or addressing arguments of a bigoted fake. Abdur Ruff is a "well known" fake name probably the result of the ISI media wing and a couple of crores of ur tax payer money being put to use. If you do a search on this forum, there was...
