Unstable political situation in Pakistan
It is very said to say that we are observing the unstable political situation in Pakistan since last 6 months. The people in Government as well as in Opposition are engaged in their own activities like how to present in every Government Setup etc......... No body has any interest to solve the common public problems like MAHNGAI, security situation in the country. Now Benazir Bhutto has annouced the date of her return to the country. A man ask Benazir Bhutto that why she is out the country since many years. Every difficulty on Pakistan which faced by the people of Pakistan in these many years she was abroad.

ISPR statement slammed

www.geocities.com/reviewcity
ISLAMABAD/LAHORE, June 2: The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement concerning Friday’s meeting in which corps commanders endorsed dual offices for President Gen Musharraf has been condemned by various political parties.
At a Saturday press conference in Islamabad, acting parliamentary leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan accused General Musharraf of presenting the army as a political party and warned that this could lead to a civil war.
Rejecting the ISPR statement, he demanded that the full proceedings of the corps commanders’ meeting be made public.
Meanwhile, at a joint press conference in Lahore, Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal (MMA) president Qazi Hussain Ahmed, secretary general Maulana Fazlur Rahman and Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan termed the ISPR statement “unconstitutional and unethical.” They said that the corps commanders’ meeting constituted an effort to involve the army leadership in the political survival of a ruler who has lost all legitimacy.
At the Islamabad conference, also attended by PML-N information secretary Ahsan Iqbal, Mr Nisar accused the president of using the army to threaten the media and legal community and said the nation wanted to know the names of those who endorsed General Musharraf’s dual positions.
He declared that General Musharraf had used his last trump card in convening the corps commanders’ meeting, given that his plan to use the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) had failed.
“The message given to the nation through the ISPR press release is detrimental to national integrity and in violation of rules,” said Mr Nisar. “We condemn it in the strongest possible terms.” He said that everyone struggling for the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary is a patriotic Pakistani. Without naming a party, he said that “anti-state elements are those who have become opening batsmen for Gen Musharraf.” The MMA and PTI statement accused Gen Musharraf of using the armed forces for his own survival and asserted that the public does not know exactly what transpired in Friday’s meeting. If ISPR press release was an accurate report, said the statement, it points to a fundamental departure from the role of the armed forces as laid down in the Consti tution and the Army Act.
Article 243 of the Constitution states that the federal government shall control the armed forces, while Article 244 makes it obligatory for every member of the armed forces to take an oath providing that “I will not engage myself with political activity whatsoever and I will honestly and faithfully serve Pakistan in the Pakistan Army (Navy and Air Force) as required by and under the law.” The statement said that Pakistan expects its army to remains aloof from politics. It said that by dragging the army into politics, the current government had harmed the relationship between the armed forces and the citizens.
The MMA and Tehrik-i-Insaaf leadership demanded the immediate resignation of General Musharraf from the posts of president and army chief, and said that leaders in exile should return to participate in the election process. They called for the formation of a neutral interim national government to immediately conduct free and fair elections, and that the election commission should be reconstituted in consultation with major parliamentary parties. They also demanded the complete independence of the judiciary.

Media asked to behave Restrictions likely on live TV coverage

www.dawnnews.com
ISLAMABAD, May 31: The government on Thursday decided to invoke some existing laws to curb unhindered media coverage, particularly electronic media’s live coverage of outdoor events while, Information Minister Mohammad Ali Durrani warned newspapers and private television channels against crossing what he termed ‘legal limits’.
Addressing a news conference here on Thursday, Mr Durrani made it clear that the government was annoyed over the live coverage of a recent seminar at the Supreme Court in which several fiery speeches were made, punctuated with anti-government slogans.
“An element clearly violated the limits that the Constitution and the law of the land put on every citizen about protecting the honour and respect of the judiciary and the armed forces,” he said, indicating that such moves warranted action.
The minister did not specify the possible actions which the government intended to initiate but warned that Pemra laws, especially the ones about controlling the live coverage of events, would be applied.
Information ministry officials said the government, while using some Pemra laws, was planning to make it mandatory for televisions channels to seek prior permission for live coverage of outdoor events. If applied strictly, the government may restrict all live coverage, particularly of events like opposition rallies or events relating to the judicial crisis.
A government petition, pending in the Supreme Court, criticises the slogans raised at the seminar by lawyers.
“The events of the past two months have brought into sharp focus the issue of freedom with responsibility and a matter of concern for everyone within the government or outside it,” the information minister said.
He said that the judicial issue, which required a judicial verdict, had been politicised to the extent that the Supreme Court’s own directives were also not adhered to.
At one stage Mr Durrani got emotional and said: “The armed forces of Pakistan have … embraced martyrdom whenever the country faced any threat. Be it an ordinary soldier or a general, the commitment to the defence of Pakistan is immeasurable.
“We cannot, therefore, let the defenders of our frontiers be maligned and defamed,” the minister said.

Pakistani human smugglers
www.geocities.com/reviewcity
Review City Pakistan
ISLAMABAD, May 27: The embassy of Pakistan in Greece has warned of a diplomatic disaster in the making as an estimated 10,000 illegal immigrants taken to Turkey by a gang of Pakistani human smugglers are likely to be pushed into Greece and Italy, possibly between now and September.
Since the alarm raised by the Pakistani mission in Athens, security agencies and relevant ministries have been treating it as a crisis situation, but so far no strategy has been worked out to counter the smugglers’ moves.
This is by far the biggest challenge related to human smuggling that the Pakistani security agencies are facing outside the country, as never before such a large number of people were illegally taken to a country with the aim of pushing them into Europe.
The crisis has been compounded with the revelation -- based on documents available with Dawn -- that the gang involved in such a major criminal act included not only a few influential people in Pakistan, but it is part of a network linked to powerful gangs behind hum smuggling in Iran, Turkey and Greece. It is learnt that the Pakistani mission in Athens has told the authorities in Islamabad that, based on information provided by some illegal immigrants, it had reasons to believe that a few police officials in Greece were also part of the network. These officials allegedly helped in providing safe passage, including the safety of armoured vehicles, to illegal immigrants.
The alarm about the new in flux of illegal immigrants was raised following a recent relaxation in Greek immigration rules, which the smugglers considered to be a golden opportunity to push more people through the Turkish border into Europe.
It is also learnt that among measures recently announced by the Greek government, illegal immigrants whose applications had earlier been rejected by local authorities for want of sufficient proof of their arrival in Greece before Dec 31, 2004, were now eligible to apply afresh.
Secondly, illegal immigrants married to a Greek national or an alien residing legally in Greece before the date are also eligible to apply again. Similarly, parents of children enrolled in government schools in Greece before this date are also permitted to apply. The new rules also apply to parents of children born in Greece before Dec 31, 2004.
It is not clear how many of these illegal immigrants have attempted to cross the border since the Pakistani mission started communicating with Islamabad and if any of them has been apprehended.
However, the Pakistani mission in Athens has pointed out that even if these illegal immigrants manage to slip into Greece, they will not be able to benefit from the new rules, which are meant for people already living there for several years. The embassy’s real worry is that these people are likely to create major problems for the Pakistani mission and the country by their illegal and unauthorised presence in Greece.
Information about the network, with particular reference to the present crisis, makes a disturbing reading about the extent of the gang’s influence, and how it has so far managed to manipulate systems right from Pakistan to Turkey, and even in Greece to continue to send illegal immigrants.
Upon entering in Greece, illegal immigrants are transported to Athens in vehicles resembling Greek army vehicles. Another illegal immigrant said that the vehicle in which he and other members of his group were travelling to Turkish/Greek border stopped at a certain place and a man wearing Turkish army uniform boarded the bus and helped them in leaving Turkey.
Investigation of cases of illegal immigration and human trafficking has revealed that smugglers use various methods to send people to and from Pakistan.
Islamabad was informed that the human smuggling mafia had been exploiting the weaknesses of the law-enforcement system in the four countries.
It was also informed that there had been a decrease in human smuggling after the arrest of Javed Aslam Arain in October 2006 through Interpol. After his arrest, his operation stopped and he plunged into a financial crisis.
However, he resumed his activities and a request for his extradition was turned down by a court of appeals in Athens.
This time a considerable surge in human smuggling from Pakistan to Turkey was witnessed and the operation appeared to be well-funded.
The Pakistani ambassador in Athens suggested that apart from taking other measures, the FIA should appoint a liaison officer there to curb human smuggling in a professional manner. The embassy also said that the FIA presence in Greece had now become more important after the posting of a police liaison officer at the Greek Embassy in Islamabad.

Search Google without those pesky ads
Google earns most of its money by serving up relevant ads. So if you really like the service, maybe you should be willing to sift through a couple of advertisements to get your search results. But if you really want to snub your nose at the whole consumer culture thing, it looks like Google's provided a way to use the search engine without seeing a single ad.You could also use browser plugins to achieve a similar effect, but this trick feels like it's officially sanctioned by Google, since, you know, it is. I am not entirely sure why Google would have created an ads-free search page, but it's nice to know it's there if you need it.
