To be tall and to be fair

Wardens to ward off traffic trials from today

LAHORE - A brand new police force riding on hooting bikes and cars, more closer to international standards, replacing an old order based upon extortion, tilted towards the privileged classes, and mandated to put some sense in the otherwise wild traffic, will assume the commands of the City roads on Thursday (today).


Awwwww. I mean look at then, aren't they just the tops?

The wonders of djinn science

Mullah Nayakuddin has already posted the track improvement. But since the president has promised full scale infrastructure improvement, obviously bridges also have to be improved. So,

Quote:

New Railway bridges near Quetta QUETTA, May 31: Train service between Quetta and other parts of the country had to be suspended for about nine hours on Thursday while a railway bridge was replaced near Spezand, about 20km from here. According to a senior railway official, an explosive device placed under the small railway bridge on the main tack was exploded in the early hours on Thursday. The track, however, remained intact. This was the third replacement of its kind in four days.

And unexpected business is causing further improvement in the stock of the 72 of the phairest, Inc as:

Political agent’s household starts journey to jannat TANK, May 31: Suspected militants attacked the house of a senior government official in the Jatai Qala area of the troubled Tank district after midnight on Wednesday and shot dead 13 people, two of them women. Two children were injured, police said. The head of the Gomal police station, Sanaullah Marwat, said the militants, who had come in three or four vehicles, attacked the house of Amiruddin Khan, Khyber tribal region’s political agent, with rocket-propelled grenades, hand grenades and assault rifles.

and since the imaam-e-kaaba says:

Imam-i-Kaaba says no room for terrorism in Islam ISLAMABAD, May 31: Imam of Kaaba Sheikh Abdul Rahman Al Sudais said on Thursday that Islam did not allow acts of terrorism, and stressed the need for Muslims to resolve their differences through mutual understanding and in fraternal spirit.

this fraternal spirit is expressed as:

Clerics condemn Kashmir mosques repair by army NEW DELHI, May 31: Jammu and Kashmir's leading Muslim clerics met in Srinagar on Thursday to condemn the Indian army's ongoing campaign for repairing damaged mosques and shrines in the disputed state. An emergency meeting of the Muttahida Majlis-i-Ulema was chaired by Hurriyat leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, who appealed to President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, as the commander in chief of the Indian armed forces, and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to stop the army's Operation Sadbhav (Goodwill) immediately.

Meanwhile, the Raj-Shehzina case took a turn for the better with the perpetrators being booked:

Quote:

Doctors booked in same-sex marriage case FAISALABAD, May 31: Jhang Bazaar police on Wednesday night registered a case against doctors without naming anyone who had operated upon Shumail Raj in same-sex marriage episode. Police sources said Jhang Bazaar SHO Mian Khalid registered the case on the orders of the Lahore High Court, but he did not mention the name of any doctor as a result DIG (operations) Mohammad Aslam Tareen had suspended him from service.

Women's rights are as always respected as a time honored tradition:

Quote:

Pak woman forced into marriage twice – with two brothers LONDON: A Pakistani woman was forced into marriage twice to two brothers in Pakistan. Esha Ali (not her real name) was tricked into travelling to Pakistan twice and each time faced family pressure and intimidation to marry one brother and then another. She is now in hiding in Manchester, desperate to avoid setting up home with the second brother, who is due to travel to the UK

Londonistan is of course playing the major role expected of the great country.

And for all of you not believing in djinn powers, note the following:

Quote:

Family overjoyed as girl changes into boy DASKA - A retired army man’s young daughter became a boy at a private hospital in Uggoki town near here Wednesday night. Reportedly, retired army man Haji Muhammad Aslam’s young daughter Tabbasum Tahira (17) felt continuous pains in her abdomen.

All it takes, is a little bit of prayer, and a good djinn expert.

slamabad, Apr 28 : Marital lives of a large number of male parliamentarians in Pakistan are said to be on the verge of being ruined because of a book that's been written by a brothel owner in Islamabad, who claims that most of the MNAs were on her client list! The book, to be published by the Oxford University Press, is written by Aunty Shamim, the brothel owner who claims to possess the richest clientele list of this sort in Pakistan. Her clientele includes majority of MNAs, besides senior Army officers and judges. The news of Shamim publishing such a book has given driven down the spine of many such MNAs who fear that their names would be surely included in the book. The gravity of the situation could be gauged from the fact that the MNAs who sit on Treasury benches recently discussed the issue with none other Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz. National Assembly Speaker Chaudhry Amir Hussain was also reportedly present when the matter was discussed at the residence of Nasrullah Khan Dareshak, following a dinner reception. One of the ruling MNAs said that the publication of the book could trigger a large number of divorces with majority of the lawmakers being separated from their wives. "Mr prime minister, there would be at least 200-300 divorces if Aunty Shamim's book gets published," The News quoted him as saying. The lawmakers, who were present on the occasion, noted with concern that the fear of being exposed looms large over the Parliament Lodges that houses the rich clientele of Aunty Shamim. As the discussion by the MNAs was on, the Prime Minister inquired about the whereabouts of Aunty Shamim. "Do you know where Aunty Shamim is right now," he asked his treasury colleagues who turned their heads towards each other, as if they did not know.

Vely, vely hilarious Quote: Aunty Shamim, the alleged owner of a brothel in Islamabad, has put at stake the future of many “honourable” MPs who fear there would be a string of divorces in case she publishes a book carrying the names of her clients. The gravity of the situation can be gauged from the fact that the treasury parliamentarians have discussed the issue with Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz. National Assembly Speaker Chaudhry Amir Hussain was also present when the matter was discussed at the residence of Nasrullah Khan Dareshak, following a dinner reception the other day. A ruling MP from Sargodha said the publication of the book could trigger a large number of divorces with majority of the lawmakers being separated from their wives. He fears that Aunty Shamim is planning to author a book which would be published by the Oxford University Press. The book would be about her clientele and majority of them, what he fears, are MNAs, senior Army officers and judges. “Mr prime minister, there would be at least 200-300 divorces if Aunty Shamim’s book gets published,” he said. Before making this disclosure, he sought the permission of the National Assembly speaker, saying he wanted to speak on a call attention notice. He also requested the female MPs to leave the place, saying there would be a bit “vulgar discussion” which, propriety demands, should not take place in their presence. A female journalist-turned-lawmaker and spinster from a smaller province, refused to leave the place, not knowing exactly the contents of the “agenda”. So the discussion took place in the presence of the female MPs. The said treasury lawmakers noted with concern that the fear of being exposed looms large over the Parliament Lodges that houses the rich clientele of Aunty Shamim. “Our one colleague may be spared who is not among the clients,” the treasury members said, while mentioning the name of a lawmaker. But that does not mean he is not a “colourful” person. The Sargodah-based MP said this while making observation about the said MP, who has chances of being spared by Aunty Shamim. The Sargodha-based MP said the said MP was also a regular customer of a brothel, but that is relatively cheaper and one night costs him Rs 2,500 because he uses relatively cheaper “stuff”. But the Sargodha-based MP made it clear that he himself was not involved in this business. He, however, said his colleagues shared their reservations and see trouble ahead in case of publication of the book. As the discussion by the honourable MPs was progressing, the prime minister enquired about the whereabouts of Aunty Shamim. “Do you know where Aunty Shamim is right now,” he asked his treasury colleagues who turned their heads towards each other, as if they did not know. In an attempt to involve Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain in the discussion on the matter of “serious” concern, the prime minister said ladies would feel very comfortable and safe in the company of Shujaat. The ruling party leader got the point and raised his hand for seeking permission from Speaker Chaudhry Amir Hussain, who was presiding over the proceedings. As the permission was granted, Shujaat sought clarification from the prime minister as to what exactly he meant? “There are two interpretations of your words. What do you mean?” Shujaat asked the prime minister, who he gave a smile instead of a reply. When this correspondent contacted another MP who also attended the dinner for comments, he said there was no truth in the contents of the proposed book. Such attempts are being made by those who are against democracy and are out to defame members of parliament. He added that once the book is published “we will take the legal course against the author and defend ourselves”.

Pakistan Nearly As Good as Rwanda!

Pakistan Nearly As Good as Rwanda! Rwanda claims foul!!!

Dharam Shourie in New York | March 03, 2007 14:17 IST

Despite efforts to empower women, short, dark, rice-eating India ranks very low at 108th position among 189 countries so far as the percentage of women lawmakers in its lower house of Parliament is concerned.

Interestingly, Pakistan is much higher (AoA!) at 48th position. China occupies 49th position and Bangladesh, which has 45 of 345 parliamentary seats reserved for women, is at the 72nd spot.

The top five spots are occupied by Rwanda, Sweden, Costa Rica, Finland and Norway. Rwanda's lower house has 48.8 per cent women and Sweden 47.3 per cent. At the bottom of table are Qatar, Saudi Arabia, St Kitts and Nevis, Solomon Islands and Tuvalu, which have no women lawmaker.

The United States holds the 67th position and Britain shares the 52nd spot with Dominican Republic.

Worldwide, the statistics show almost 17 per cent of parliamentarians are now women -- an all time high. In 1995, only 11.3 per cent of all parliamentary seats were held by women.[/quote]

NNN notes:
1. These kaffirs did not count the percentage of women in the Armed Forces. There Pakistan ranks #1 with 98%.

2. The Pakistani Upper House recently suffered a reverse because a woman senator was shot dead for being a woman.
