Leaked Video of Rabia Anum Anchor of Geo News by umar-akmal LONDON: Sarfaraz Merchant, one of the central characters in the MQM-related money laundering investigation, said in the Geo programme Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Ke Saath on Monday that he was ready to come to Pakistan to record his statement to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA). He said FIA Director Inaam Ghani has assured him security and the removal of his reservations. He said he was waiting for a new letter from them and would announce his programme after receiving the letter. He said he would share what he possessed with the Pakistan government and the FIA. Earlier, he told the FIA investigators that he will be unable to appear before it on March 15, 2016 unless the FIA did not set its record straight and put the whole context of the investigation right. Sarfaraz Merchant set the record straight by telling the FIA that he didn’t originally accuse the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) or its leader Altaf Hussain of receiving money from RAW, India’s main spy agency, but it was Scotland Yard, showing proof. Sarfaraz Merchant said he had undeniable proof with him showing that the MQM took money from Indian sources and he indicated that he will cooperate with the FIA once amends had been made to the summon, the record set straight and inappropriate language and the threat of punishment withdrawn. Sarfaraz Merchant elaborated that it was Scotland Yard that had originally said that the MQM took money from Indian government sources. He said it’s a matter of record that the MQM leaders, including M Anwar and Tariq Mir, accepted before the Scotland Yard investigators that they had received money — millions of pounds — from India for several years. Merchant said that he came to know about the evidence of the MQM’s involvement with RAW during his recorded interview with the police in London when he saw the shocking evidence when the police investigators revealed it to him. Merchant said that he was aware — and has proof — that the MQM took money from RAW but he was not alone in saying that; Scotland Yard had said it in writing too. Merchant said that his only issue was with the FIA letter “the way it has been presented and written”. He said the MQM’s involvement with RAW is a serious matter and must be dealt with at the highest level. This correspondent has obtained a copy of the hard-hitting letter written by Sarfaraz Merchant in response to the hurriedly-written summons issued by the FIA to him, urging him to appear before the committee mandated to investigate the alleged links of the MQM with RAW. The FIA was forced into action after Sarfraz Merchant said in a world exclusive with Geo News’ flagship current affairs show ‘Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Saath’ that he had been asked by the Scotland Yard investigators during recorded interviews if he was aware that the MQM was in the pay of the Indian government sources. Merchant said that he had not “levelled any allegation on any political party or its leadership”. He told the FIA that his interview on Geo News was “in connection with a leaked document pertaining to a criminal inquiry pending in the United Kingdom” — i.e. the money-laundering investigation under the Proceeds of Crimes Act involving Altaf Hussain, M Anwar, Tariq Mir, Sarfraz Merchant and two others. “I had given my views on the contents of that document and some observations of the concerned law enforcement agency i.e. the Scotland Yard, which were brought to my notice being a party to the case during my under caution interview on 15th of April, 2015. It is therefore incorrect to suggest that I have alleged something on a political party,” stressed Sarfraz Merchant, while explaining that it was not him but the Scotland Yard which believed that the MQM had received money from the Indian government in violation of the UK as well as Pakistani electoral laws. Sarfraz Merchant told the FIA bosses that allegations about the MQM’s links with RAW emerged first in June last year and he wondered what took Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s government so long to come into action when the nature of the allegations was of shocking and scandalous nature concerning directly to the security of Pakistan. Merchant said that the “subject matter of the criminal investigation in the UK is known to all and has been frequently discussed in the media and there is no confusion that the issue is directly related to the security of Pakistan.” Issuing a hard-hitting critique of the very poor handling of the case by the Government of Pakistan, Merchant said in the letter: “I am surprised to learn that you have initiated action at such a belated stage. It would have been proper to contact UK authorities more than a year ago for mutual assistance and simultaneous initiation of proceedings in Pakistan; unfortunately this was not done.” Sarfraz Merchant expressed his “disappointment on the language and text of ‘your’ letter which appears to be an attempt to intimidate and pressurise me by indicating criminal action against me and also placing the entire onus of the case on my shoulders”. Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan had requested Sarfraz Merchant to assist the FIA in its inquiry but the FIA issued a threatening summon to Merchant. Merchant took an exception to the fact that the FIA summon was signed off by the Commercial Banking Circle. Merchant said he believed that “matters of national security are required to be handled more professionally and not as a typical case of Commercial Banking Circle”. Merchant explained that he was a “responsible and patriotic citizen” of Pakistan and he felt “obliged to render complete assistance in a matter involving security and integrity of the country in accordance with law, however the manner in which the case is being handled, especially the manner in which the summon has been issued, reflects that importance and gravity of the issue has not been understood by your agency”. Sarfraz Merchant concluded: “Under such circumstances I will not be able to appear on the 15th of March, 2016 for giving my statement until the format/contents of your un-dated letter delivered to me by DHL and through Pakistan High Commission, London through post received on 11/03/2016 and 12/03/2016 are corrected referred in Paragraph No3 of this letter”.

Sarfraz Merchant told the FIA bosses that allegations about the MQM’s links with RAW emerged first in June last year and he wondered what took Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s government so long to come into action when the nature of the allegations was of shocking and scandalous nature concerning directly to the security of Pakistan. Merchant said that the “subject matter of the criminal investigation in the UK is known to all and has been frequently discussed in the media and there is no confusion that the issue is directly related to the security of Pakistan.” Issuing a hard-hitting critique of the very poor handling of the case by the Government of Pakistan, Merchant said in the letter: “I am surprised to learn that you have initiated action at such a belated stage. It would have been proper to contact UK authorities more than a year ago for mutual assistance and simultaneous initiation of proceedings in Pakistan; unfortunately this was not done.” Sarfraz Merchant expressed his “disappointment on the language and text of ‘your’ letter which appears to be an attempt to intimidate and pressurise me by indicating criminal action against me and also placing the entire onus of the case on my shoulders”. Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan had requested Sarfraz Merchant to assist the FIA in its inquiry but the FIA issued a threatening summon to Merchant. Merchant took an exception to the fact that the FIA summon was signed off by the Commercial Banking Circle. Merchant said he believed that “matters of national security are required to be handled more professionally and not as a typical case of Commercial Banking Circle”. Merchant explained that he was a “responsible and patriotic citizen” of Pakistan and he felt “obliged to render complete assistance in a matter involving security and integrity of the country in accordance with law, however the manner in which the case is being handled, especially the manner in which the summon has been issued, reflects that importance and gravity of the issue has not been understood by your agency”. Sarfraz Merchant concluded: “Under such circumstances I will not be able to appear on the 15th of March, 2016 for giving my statement until the format/contents of your un-dated letter delivered to me by DHL and through Pakistan High Commission, London through post received on 11/03/2016 and 12/03/2016 are corrected referred in Paragraph No3 of this letter”.

Father Arrested Before Marrying His 12 Years... by umar-akmal At 12 years old, Shaheen Hashmat left her family home in Scotland to escape the threat of forced marriage to a stranger in Pakistan. At 13, she attempted suicide. Hashmat, who now campaigns against forced marriage and “honor-based” violence, says Britain urgently needs better mental health services for girls and women escaping these situations. “There needs to be far more training about the increased risk of suicide and the impact of family estrangement,” said Hashmat, who won the True Honor 2016 award on Thursday for her bravery in standing up to honor abuse. Experts say thousands of girls and women in Britain are subjected to honor abuse every year as a way of controlling behavior perceived as bringing shame on their family. Hashmat, now 33, grew up in a strict Pakistani family, in which every aspect of her life was policed, from the TV she watched to the people she spoke to, even the way she sat. She was beaten and saw others in her family beaten, too. Her two older sisters were forced into marriage as teenagers after being sent “on holiday” to Pakistan. As she grew up she started to challenge what was happening around her. “If I had stayed the physical abuse would have increased because I was seen as being out of control and becoming too westernized,” she told Thomson Reuters Foundation. “Forced marriage is a way of disciplining a woman who wants to make her own life choices. I was seen as having an attitude problem so I’m sure I would have been put on a plane, like my sisters were, and made to marry a stranger.” Hashmat’s escape was organized by her sisters with the help of police and social services. Over several weeks she smuggled her few possessions out of a back window at the family home into a waiting car. One day she told her parents she needed to visit a relative for help with her homework. She never returned. But the shock and difficulty of adjusting to her new life and the estrangement from her family took its toll. One year later she took an overdose and ended up in hospital for a week. “The suicidal feelings have been a regular experience throughout my life, and that’s a huge part of the reason why I’ve started doing the work I’m doing now,” said Hashmat who now lives in London. She cites a survey that indicates Asian women are more than twice as likely to commit suicide as women from other backgrounds in Britain, with family violence seen as a key factor. Hashmat has since written about her experiences in a blog, challenging the taboos around mental health which are particularly strong in Asian communities. Hashmat’s dream is to set up a mental health service for women who have fled forced marriage and honor abuse. “Estrangement from the people with whom you have created many of your most important memories — wonderful as well as awful — can be overwhelming,” she said. “You are also often leaving behind a whole community and trying to make a new life in a completely new culture. That’s incredibly difficult.” The True Honor awards are made by the Iranian and Kurdish Women’s Rights Organization (IKWRO), a British charity that supports victims of honor abuse and forced marriage. Britain’s Forced Marriage Unit said this week it had dealt with 1,220 suspected forced marriage cases last year — a slight fall on 2014. But Hashmat said the figures don’t convey the real extent of the problem and that police need better training. “If you can’t absolutely rely on the authorities to help you when you may have just one chance to get out, that may well be the difference between life and death,” she said.

fghan girls in American Army by umar-akmalLadies,” my email began, “a Tina Fey movie about our favorite Area of Operations? Attention must be paid.” The message went to some of the women I had worked with at the Pentagon during my stint on the Pakistan desk. A movie about the last decade-plus of war starring a woman was rare enough, but a funny movie about it headlined by an actress we all admire was exciting. Before the four of us met up on the film’s opening night, I did a little homework to prepare for my cinematic experience. What I found puzzled me. Review after review in the major national papers and Hollywood weeklies panned the film. It’s not surprising, of course, for critics to criticize a movie, but something about the language reviewers chose and the problems they had with the film sounded hollow. In describing the journey that Kim Baker, Tina Fey’s character, takes during her years covering Afghanistan as a reporter, the New York Times said she “generally gets her groove back.” The review also called an Afghan official who makes “advances” on her “goofily forward.” Rolling Stone (inaccurately, as it turns out) reported that to save her beau, Baker “puts out for the future Pakistan Prime Minister.” The reviewer in Variety accused the film of being too “playful” and avoiding hard issues. Many complained that it wasn’t funny enough, while a description of the movie as essentially a romantic comedy seemed unlikely.

Who will be PML-N’s candidate for the coveted slot in 2018 is the million-dollar question. Hamza Shahbaz Sharif? Chaudhry Nisar? Even Maryam Nawaz Sharif now? Any clue? December 01, 2015, 7:03 pm SHARE : Mahboob Mohsin inShare For a moment, let’s assume (quite safely now) that there shall be no martial laws coming our way (ever). Also that Nawaz Sharif, to use Ayaz Amir’s terminology, would not prove to be his own suicide bomber unlike his past misadventures. Let’s assume also that men in uniform shall be satiated by the National Security Adviser slot. So halfway through the tenure of the current government comfortably saddled in place, as we head towards the next general elections in 2018, let’s ponder a little over the question of who is likely to become the next Prime Minister as things stand today. Let’s break it down party-wise. From Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf’s side, it is not clear if it is going to make its way into other provinces than the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, since the two phases of Local Government elections in Punjab and Sindh have shown no encouraging signs. However, what is clear as crystal is that the candidate from its side shall be none other than Imran Khan, the party chief himself. It can be said more comfortably now because PTI and Khan himself is done with the other strong, could-be contender for the PM’s seat – the ambitious Reham Khan. On a serious note, PTI has made its ambitions for the slot of Prime Minister next time quite obviously crystal clear. His desire for making it to the center is visible in Khan’s hustle and bustle in KP in order to bring his provincial government a good name. He does not seem to be deterred by PTI’s failure in Punjab and Sindh in local government elections and has kept his focus mostly on governance in KP. Attention towards the KP police, tree plantation and hospitals top the agenda these days. We saw that in the recent election for the speaker of the National Assembly, PTI nominated its own candidate claiming to be the real opposition in the central legislature. If everything falls in place, Khan would likely contend for the slot of the PM in the next general elections. However, getting allies on his side would be an uphill task because his enormous ego, due to which he has dismissed MQM, Fazl-ur-Rehman and everyone else too much to mend ways now. Another hurdle for PTI would be for Khan to keep his house in order in Punjab – crucial for rule in the center. Choosing between Jahangir Tareen and Hamid Khan is not so difficult, but a choice between Chaudhry Sarwar and Shah Mehmood Qureshi is a difficult one. Keeping them all together and proportionally obliged is the key to keep the party from infighting. Who will be PML-N’s candidate for the coveted slot in 2018 is the million-dollar question. Can the Sharifs, while they are alive, let any non-Sharif become the Prime Minister from PMLN’s side? Let’s break things down a little within the PMLN. Let’s assume that we don’t have a merit because we really don’t have it. A little prediction never harmed anyone. The next Prime Minister will come from today’s ruling PML-N or, at the least, with its blessings. What is important to realize is that PML-N can capitalize on its current popularity with masses only if it runs an extra mile with its efforts towards putting the genie of load-shedding in the bottle in time. Another important aspect is the resurgence of civil-military tensions, lately. Nawaz Sharif has made peace with the men in uniform leading at the foreign policy and security fronts. The strong tide of the messiah-like figure of the army chief is wearing off or maybe we just think so because we are getting used to our almost terror-free-country now. Nevertheless, the patient’s history tells us that the Sharif often shoots himself in the foot. In this regard, he has to play safe and identify where not to go because no civilian administration ever won a civil-military turf war. Let’s get done with the democracy and civilian dispensation going nowhere for sure and come back to the PML-N’s hunt for the next Prime Minister. Hamza Shahbaz Sharif? Chaudhry Nisar? Even Maryam Nawaz Sharif now? Any clue? A complete disregard to Chaudhry Nisar and his say within the party ranks shall be a costly misadventure for PML-N in 2018. Nawaz Sharif cannot afford to make him angry again. He even has offers from his Aitchisonian friend from PTI. PML-N cannot mistake him for the likes of Amin Fahim who was comfortably sidelined by the Peoples’ Party. He will not settle for anything less than a lion’s share next time. Remember he is already a key federal minister in the current PML-N government comfortably riding the horse of popularity. He is the one above it all. With this background in mind, let’s expect some infighting within the ranks of PMLN a year or so later. Ideally, the Sharifs would want to replace themselves with their own progeny in Punjab and the center, with Hamza replacing his father and Maryam replacing hers or some other brand of dynastic politics akin to it. Remember, we did not have merit, right? In any event, things do not look to be too hunky dory for the PML-N in 2018. Maryam’s debut at the White House meet with Michelle Obama raised many eyebrows and raised concerns of many within the party. These concerns should lead towards grievances and later on infighting. That would be a spectacle. (Due to a lack of space, let’s leave the part on other political parties to the next piece)

Padma Lakshmi, who parted her ways with novelist Salman Rushdie after three years of their marriage, revealed that the latter thought of her as "bad investment." During an interview for her new memoir, Love, Loss and What We Ate, the 45-year-old author said that her severe undiagnosed endometriosis, when grew more acute, left her in such chronic pain that she was bedridden and unable to have sex and that led to arguments between the couple, reports People magazine. Padma Lakshmi feels that endometriosis was definitely a major reason for her failed marriage as she hid it to a certain degree and Rushdie took it personally and felt rejected. Despite the painful split, she says she and Rushdie are now friends. Speaking further about the sunny-side of their relationship, the cookbook author said that she feels the Midnight's Children author was the best thing happened to her; "he's like Hemingway." She added that they met in Central Park for their first date, and ended up in bed together. "He seduced me with his words. I was pretty hooked," added the Easy Exotic author.

Raymond Ibrahim is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center. As Western politicians and other talking heads insist that the Islamic State (“ISIS”) has “nothing whatsoever to do with Islam,” not only does ISIS correctly implement Islamic law—whether by demanding jizya from subjugated Christians or by sexually enslaving “infidel” women—but even the “caliphate’s” arcane jihadi tactics belong to Islam. Consider a recently exposed “recruitment” tactic of ISIS: abducting, indoctrinating, and beating young children in order to mold them into explosive-vest wearing “martyrs” who hurl themselves onto “infidels”: The children who managed to escape describe how they were indoctrinated into the jihadi group's radical brand of Islam and taught that they should execute their “unbeliever” [infidel] parents…. “We weren't allowed to cry but I would think about my mother, think about her worrying about me and I'd try and cry quietly,” he [an escapee] said... Some children who managed to escape ISIS and are now living in the refugee camps in northern Iraq, have also been left badly psychologically scarred. The repeated beatings and endless propaganda have meant that some of the escapees wake up in the night with nightmares while others suffer seizures. The report goes on to say that “The growing trend for ISIS to use child soldiers as suicide bombers, particularly in Iraq, has been suggested as a sign of how stretched their resources are in the region.” Or it could suggest that ISIS is simply following another page of the jihadi playbook. For centuries, Muslim caliphates seized Christian boys from their families, forcefully converted and indoctrinated them in Islam, trained them to be jihadis extraordinaire, and then unleashed them back onto their former Christian kin to wreak havoc in the name of jihad on infidels. (Skanderberg was the exception.) That this practice is Islamic is evident in that other modern day Muslims—not just ISIS—follow it. In 2012, 300 Christian children were abducted and forcibly converted to Islam. After convincing impoverished Christian families in Bangladesh to spend what little money they had to send their children to study at supposed mission hostels, conmen would “pocket the money” and “sell the children to Islamic schools elsewhere in the country ‘where imams force them to abjure Christianity.’” The children are then instructed in Islam and beaten. After being fully indoctrinated, the once Christian children are asked if they are “ready to give their lives for Islam,” presumably by becoming jihadi suicide-bombers. The West would not be oblivious to this “new” Muslim tactic—erroneously concluding that it means ISIS has “stretched their resources”—if it had Islamic studies departments that disseminated facts instead of pro-Islamic myths and propaganda. As with all unsavory aspects of Islamic history, this institution has been whitewashed. Although young, terrified boys were seized from the clutches of their devastated parents, the mainstream (but otherwise debunked) narrative is that poor Christian families were eager to see their boys taken to the caliphate where they would have a “bright future.” Portraying uniquely negative aspects of Islamic doctrine and history as uniquely positive aspects is par for the course. For example, the Islamic institution of jizya—extorting money from subjugated Christians and Jews often on pain of death—is presented by academics like Georgetown University’s John Esposito as a show of “tolerance” (debunked here).
