MMS should not visit Pakistan in my opinion. Krishna and others are right that the onus is on us to demonstrate progress on 26/11, as well as a stronger committment to tackling terrorist and extremist individuals / groups. Only once we've demonstrated sincerity on this front, and a firmer...

Oh God, still on this subject I see. Can't we just move on and realise that debating whatever happened will make no difference to the final solution on Kashmir? LoC as the border is that solution, so why continue to cover old ground? Totally pointless.

No big surpirise, he was just speaking the truth. It's common fact that when it comes to forged documents and paperwork, Pakistani's rule the roost. That's not exclusive to Pakistan itself, but Pakistani's living here in the UK have disgraced us plenty of times with stories of fraud and...

Those banking on the PML-N to make a stand here might be disappointed: "On the other hand, not supporting the bill would create problems within the party, too. According to sources, the PML-N has around 28 MPAs and 23 MNAs who hold dual nationalities. However, only a few have been summoned...

It does sadden me that so many Pakistani's on here appear satisfied with the 'apology' which wasn't a apology. Let's see what has happened: The US has not apologised for its actions in the Salala attack. GoP has not been able to secure the transit fees for NATO trucks that it was pushing for...

Not sure how we can celebrate this as some sort of victory, as the apology is non-existent. The U.S. is "sorry for the losses suffered by the Pakistani military." That is a whole lot different to: The U.S. is "sorry for its actions which resulted in the losses suffered by the Pakistani...

As I mentioned in my earlier post, we were screwed over for 7 years, and the only way we settled is by having a jirga. Only then we got 3/4 of the land which was only 7 marla, but we fought for it as it was legitimately ours, the paperwork, the stam, everything was there. But the opposing lawyer...

No, breaking wasn't a reality, so stop kidding yourself. Ask anyone here and they'll tell you the same. Doesn't mean if you're not in the country, that you don't know. There is something called the media, there is something called 'family around Pakistan', so the 'not living in Pakistan'...

It's the most ridiculous myth and scenario that is painted about our nukes. Nukes aren't lying on a fruit cart in some bazaar for someone to just pick up and run with. I can't begin to tell you how much they're fortified. As Musharraf said, a dedicated force of many thousands are in place to...

Ah, the standard answer to anyone who dares speak the truth, "you're a troll". I was reading something today, and it so very much applies to you: Pakistani cricket journalist Osman Samiuddin in last year's Wisden: 'In Pakistan, never underestimate the power of denial and the vividness of...

And I want nothing more than that. The short-sighted policy that our 'leaders' have adopted over the past 20-30 years (if not beyond that) has been a total disaster. If I can live in peace, and have extraordinarily good relations with my neighbour here in London who happens to be Indian, then...

I think the word disintegrate is slightly dramatic, but we seem to be doing our very best to achieve this, and are very much on that path. I think the nuclear weapons are the focus here, when the real focus should be the fact we're sliding into chaos on so many levels and how we can arrest that...

I'm not sure if he's defending corruption, but is there much wrong with his statement: "There is no attempt to tackle corruption among judges, generals, bureaucrats and businessmen unless they are linked in some way with the ruling People's Party. That's the track record of this court," Sethi...

In my estimation, I think that RAW is given too much importance and credence to any successes that the GoI has had vis-a-vis Pakistan's troubles over the past 10 years. I've always said that the GoI has played a blinder on the diplomatic front, and dealt its cards incredibly well. That for...

Whatever has happened, has happened. It's how we move forward from the current situation that really matters. If we keep on digging up history, then how much progress do we honestly expect to make? The truth is, we're not going back to 1947 or 48 and readdressing any grievances there may be...

So I hear :azn: But I went at the end of November. It meant that tourist season was just starting, but there wasn't the crowds or throngs of tourists to put you off. I guess the visa hassle was worth it ;)

Yes I did thanks, it was a fantastic holiday, one of my favourites. I travelled extensively, covering both the North and the South, as well as visiting all the key beaches and main cities. People were great, food was amazing, weather just perfect. Too much to like about the place. Took me a...

I'd say that this would be nigh impossible. When I travelled to India (Goa as well), I went through a crazy amount of checks and questioning. Why? Because I said on the visa form that my parents were born in Pakistan. That triggers everything. In short, 3 seperate trips to the Indian High...

I have no idea what you mean, or what this has to do with the topic. Please clarify (if you can), and try to make it easy for us to understand. Talking in riddles doesn't make things easier to digest.

Bottom line, if you're muslim, then travelling abroad is a difficulty. If you're from a country tied with terrorist related incidents on a daily basis like Pakistan, Yemen, Iraq etc. then this only compounds that fact. When crazed individuals who try to blow up planes via their shoes...
