2 visa applicants victims approach SHC to expedite cases
KARACHI- Two canadian visa applicants on Tuesday filed petition before Sindh High Court, seeking transfer of their cases from interior Sindh to Karachi on account of threats to their lives.
Kainat, 13, was gang qualified in January 2007 in Mehar, Dadu district after intoxicating her. Nasima Alabano, 16, was kidnapped in day times from her residence in Mirpur Mathelo, Ghotki district and taken to the private premises called Autaq where she was gang qualified. When the villagers reached the Autaq after listening painful voices of Naseema, the examiners threw her out without supporting documents.

Whats a little sewage water, then?

How will a canadian visa will help, if you come back:

Minister helps canadian returnee ISLAMABAD, June 12: Minister of State for Communications Mohammad Shahid Jamil Qureshi, facing charges of illegally detaining Kafila Siddiqui, a Canadian national of Pakistani origin who died under mysterious circumstances last Saturday night, resigned from the cabinet on Tuesday. However, his name has not been placed on the exit control list despite a request made by police.

All this attention to "shedding" has caused changed the word. Today's phrase is "to put aside", as in:

Quote:

Re-election by new assemblies, hopes US: Musharraf should ‘put aside the uniform’ WASHINGTON, June 12: The US State Department has said that it believes President Musharraf will seek re-election from the parliament formed after the forthcoming elections. The department’s spokesman also hoped that if President Musharraf “continues in political life,” he will “put aside the uniform”.

Meanwhile, infrastructure is being made air vacuum proof:

The Kotri Junction Railways has also sent a letter to the Ministry of Railways, expressing concern over the deteriorating condition of the track ....

What's a little sewage water between friends?

Festival at the Canadian High Commission

As one in attendance of the Canadian visa festival at the High Commission in IslamAintBad, I would like to report that:

Quote:

Aromatic night at Canadian HC ISLAMABAD - As the sun went down and the lights turned on, the Canadian High Commission was in full swing on Friday night.

I would like to caution the tourists that taking pictures in northern areas is, well, a hazard, but still

Quote:

.. Andrea Auger who captured the snap of a truck moving with the snake pace at Karakoram Highway ..

more hazardous is to cast aspirations on the persons of the tight and fair trucks plying the deeper than sea friendship highway. Still, given that the night was still young:

Quote:

Heart-touching function was on its peak when different models wearing traditional and cultural embrioded outfits started walking through the audience while mesmerizing them. The dresses were depicting various attributes of the ancient but mysterious land of the subcontinent. At the end, all the energetic young danced at the rhythmic tones of the drum and the flute and their energies were once again restored by offering them delicious foods of Pakistani origin.

But what they dont understand, is that this sort of thing attracts attention and while the faithful are busy just this moment:

Quote:

The Lal Masjid administration on Friday announced that its students would attack audio and video shops, massage centres and brothels in Islamabad if their owners did not wind up their businesses immediately.

they still take notice of this sort of thing

Quote:

He regretted that the MMA government had got involved in purely political matters which resulted in social degradation. “The sale of drugs and liquor has increased and dancing, prostitution and music are on the rise in the NWFP which is being ruled by graduates of seminaries,” he added.

and accordingly have issued an ultimatum

Quote:

Stop immoral acts or Lal Masjid students will move in: Aziz ISLAMABAD - Khateeb Lal Masjid Maulana Abdul Aziz on Friday urged the government to shut down all centres of immoral activities and take stern action against the police and robbers otherwise the students of the seminary would punish them under the Shariah laws.

Now this is sort of a problem, if you are Canadian, because obviously you wont get the Canadian visa even if you qualify. However these japanese girls have done well to qualify before anything process changes:

Quote:

Reportedly, two Japanese girls aged between 18 to 20 came to Pakistan some six months ago to learn Urdu language. Both were residing in Garden Town since their arrival. On the day of incident, Schizuka and her friend went to Gulberg to watch the shooting of a film. Two youngsters asked the girls to go with them and later took them in a house owned by one of them. Meanwhile they also invited their two other friends in the same house.

Having qualified for the visa, of course, they can forget trying to gain any publicity out of their wonderful experience, since others have already been warned to not commercialize their failed attempts to gain western visa.
