He was presented full guard of honour and was as accompanied by Chief of the Defence Staff UK, Gen Sir Nicholas Houghton.

The COAS was expected to brief British leaders on Pakistan's war against terror and the ongoing Operation Zarb-i-Azb.

Pakistan's military in mid-June had launched an all-out operation, named 'Zarb-i-Azb', against Taliban militants in the region which is still under way.

Moreover, months into Zarb-i-Azb, the army also launched Khyber 1, an operation to clear out militant strongholds in the tribal region of Khyber.

I'd rather live under martial law than a democracy that only steals from me. I'm sure you catch the drift.

Gen. Raheel Shareef is running the country. Congratulations, finally there is somebody taking responsibility of country. Is Nawaz Shareef even needed at PM at this time?

 

[Dalit]

You and your bee-radar are sadists. You love dunda, either dry or drenched with oil. You have had enough of the dry one and now craving for the other one. Give it some time, your craving will kick again.

Coming from a moron who likes to lick the heels of corrupt and illiterate feudal "politicians". Your motto: Keep your country backward and illiterate even if it comes at the cost of cosmetic "democracy". Shove your so-called "democracy" where the sun doesn't shine. I reject "democracy" that doesn't addresses the basic concerns of its citizens. I reject a "democracy" that keeps its inhabitants illiterate and the economy shackled to aid/loans. I know what the definition of your democracy is. It's nothing, but a sham democracy.

Gen. Raheel Shareef is running the country. Congratulations, finally there is somebody taking responsibility of country. Is Nawaz Shareef even needed at PM at this time?

He is too busy building his business empire.

Zardari vows to fight militancy ‘till the end’
Assures people that government considering raising compensation for dead police officers’ families

Former Pakistan president Asif Ali Zardari on Wednesday vowed to fight extremism and militancy in the country till the last and said he would frustrate extremists’ designs to impose their rule on the country.

In his brief address to police officials and the families of slain policemen, Zardari said that the ongoing campaign against terrorism was ideological.

“They say that they would impose their ideology on us but we will fight with them till the last,” the former president said.

“This is our pledge, this is your pledge and this pledge of whole Pakistan,” Zardari said.

Earlier, he distributed the cheques of two million rupees to relatives of policemen who died. Some 178 families were compensated with cumulative 356 million rupees.

The former president, whose party rules southern Sindh province, assured the police officials that the government was considering to raise the compensation for the families of the police to 10 million rupees from existing two million rupees so that the families could get a decent financial support.

Besides, he said, the government was planning to provide insurance cover to the government employees including the police. With the insurance policy the families of the deceased officials could get immediate financial compensation instead of waiting for existing long cumbersome procedure.

Over 180 police officials were gunned down in 2014 in targeted killings in this mega city. The police killings have risen sharply in the recent days as the law enforcement agencies were speedily raiding and busting the terrorists’ dens.

In January alone about a dozen law enforcement personnel were killed in the targeted killings or during the encounters.
