			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It a recent development, Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) lost control of its official website when a hacker, apparently from Pakistan, defaced its official website.</p>

<p>It looks that Hacker is fed-up of the current state of Pakistan. He tried to record his/her protest by hacking into PML-N’s website and left following comment:</p>

<p>ISLAMABAD: Governor Punjab Salman Taseer was dead after one of his guards, named <a href="http://www.facebook.com/Malik.Mumtaz.Qadri" target="_blank">Malik Mumtaz Hussain Qadri</a>, opened firing on him when he was going towards his car in Kohsar Market here today.</p>
<p>Interior Minister Rehman Malik confirmed to the media that the guard has been arrested. He has confessed that he opened firing on the governor because of his support of Asia Bibi, he added.</p>
<p>Asia Bibi had convicted of blasphemy.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Fairly or not, Pakistan is synonymous with angry [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fairly or not, Pakistan is synonymous with angry men who bomb people or take to the streets in protest.<br />
An effigy labelled ‘Cameroon’ was burned in response to the Prime Minister’s comments about the country ‘looking both ways’ when it comes to fighting the Taliban.<br />
Nonetheless, Pakistanis have a good sense of humour. There are many jokes about President Asif Ali Zardari, who this weekend plans to tackle Cameron about his comments when the pair meet at Chequers.</p>
<div id="attachment_1587" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 478px"><a href="http://pakbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/David-Cameron-with-Asif-Ali-Zardari.jpg"><img src="http://pakbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/David-Cameron-with-Asif-Ali-Zardari.jpg" alt="" title="David Cameron with Asif Ali Zardari" width="468" height="314" class="size-full wp-image-1587" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Handshake: David Cameron with Pakistan president Asif Ali Zardari last year</p></div>
<p>Here’s a typical example: Pakistani robber: ‘Give me all your money!’<br />
Zardari: ‘Don’t you know who I am? I’m the president.’<br />
Robber: ‘OK. Give me all my money.’<br />
Such a quip illustrates perfectly how the Pakistani leader is viewed by his people: corrupt, venal and materialistic.</p>
<p>However, the joke runs thin when you realise censorship laws ban anyone from emailing or texting jokes about the President (with the threat of 14 months in jail) and, as part of a crackdown on opposition groups, 500 websites including YouTube, Facebook and Google have been outlawed.<br />
Zardari has been nicknamed Mr Ten Per Cent (and more recently, Mr Hundred and Ten Per Cent) for his rumoured habit of skimming off millions in kickbacks.<br />
Indeed, before winning power he spent more than a decade in jail following corruption charges.<br />
A typical story about Zardari relates how a businessman who owed him money was allegedly seized by thugs, who strapped his leg to a remote-controlled bomb and forced him to go to a bank to withdraw the cash.<br />
Zardari’s powerbase derives from the political reputation of his wife Benazir Bhutto, who was assassinated in December 2007.<br />
She had carried the torch for her father Zulfikar, the one-time prime minister who was hanged in 1979 for authorising the murder of a political opponent.<br />
Benazir was a charismatic figure who championed Pakistan’s poor, becoming prime minister in 1988 and 1993.<br />
In much of the Third World, political power is about dynastic entitlement, and the Bhutto-Zardari alliance was no exception.</p>
<div id="attachment_1588" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 478px"><a href="http://pakbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Bilawal-Bhutto-Asif-Ali-Zardari-Aseefa-Bhutto.jpg"><img src="http://pakbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Bilawal-Bhutto-Asif-Ali-Zardari-Aseefa-Bhutto.jpg" alt="" title="Bilawal Bhutto - Asif Ali Zardari - Aseefa Bhutto" width="468" height="500" class="size-full wp-image-1588" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Jet set: Mr Ten Per Cent arrives at Heathrow accompanied by his son Bilawal, seen scratching his head, and daughter Aseefa, who's holding his hand</p></div>
<p><a href="http://pakbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Asif-Ali-Zardari-Party-Time-in-Europe.jpg"><img src="http://pakbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Asif-Ali-Zardari-Party-Time-in-Europe.jpg" alt="" title="Asif Ali Zardari - Party Time in Europe" width="564" height="720" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1597" /></a></p>
<p>Indeed, the Pakistan Peoples Party, which Zardari took over after his wife’s death, is referred to as the Permanent Plunder Party. Not only dogged by a reputation<br />
for corruption, the president faces accusations of gross insensitivity for failing to return home to help tackle Pakistan’sworst floods in its history, which have so far killed up to 1,200 people and forced two million to flee their homes.<br />
Critics understandably say he should be ‘trying to support his people, not swanning around in the UK and France’.<br />
But the truth is that Zardari seems more concerned with self-aggrandising meetings with Cameron and the French president Nicolas Sarkozy, and advancing his family’s political future rather than tackling homegrowntragedies.<br />
Indeed, it seems that a priority on his trip to Britain is to attend a rally in Birmingham to further his 22-year-old son Bilawal’s fledgling political career.<br />
This mummy’s boy Oxford graduate, often seen in jeans and nautical themed T-shirts, is being groomed as his parents’ successor.<br />
With opportunistic filial piety, Bilawal bears the Bhutto as well as the Zardari name.<br />
At least there is proof Bilawal did graduate from Oxford — unlike his father, who claims to have studied at the non-existent London School of Economics and Business (a claim made just after a college degree became mandatory for Pakistani MPs.)<br />
Another mystery is how the ruler of a country with desperate poverty and rampant illiteracy seems to be worth a rumoured £1.2 billion, despite having spent 1997 to 2004 in jail while corruptionand murder charges against him were investigated — and then dropped.<br />
And there were the unsavoury episodes when one of his wife’s brothers was poisoned and another murdered after prolongedrows with Benazir and Zardari about hidden assets.<br />
Originally from a minor landowningfamily, Zardari’s boat came in through an arranged marriage in 1987 with the Bhutto political clan, who have huge landholdings in Pakistan.<br />
Though they occupied a £30 million official residence in Islamabad, with 110 acres, money was immediately diverted from funding urban parks to acquire a further 11½ acres of protected woodlands for a private polo park and parking for Zardari’s friends.<br />
At this point, it’s worth pointing out that most Pakistanis live on just £1.25 a day.</p>
<div id="attachment_1589" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 478px"><a href="http://pakbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Punjab-Rescue.jpg"><img src="http://pakbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Punjab-Rescue.jpg" alt="" title="Punjab Rescue" width="468" height="286" class="size-full wp-image-1589" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Flood horror: Soldiers assist a boy out of a boat after he was rescued from heavy floods in a village of Deira Din Panah, in Pakistan's Punjab province</p></div>
<p>Though Zardari had no official position other than as consort to his imperiously liberal wife, he was always at hand whenever government defence contracts, broadcast licences, projects to build power stations and sugar mills, or export licences for textiles were up for grabs.<br />
Among the reported scams is one in which a Swiss company paid 9 per cent commission into offshore accounts linked to Zardari in return for inspecting the Customs duty of all imports to Pakistan.<br />
In a country where just one in 100 people pays income tax because of poverty, duty receipts are critical to maintaining the government’s income. This move is alleged to have netted Zardari nearly £7.5 million.<br />
Another arrangement allegedly involved giving a Dubai merchant a monopoly of the gold imported from the Gulf into Pakistan.<br />
According to a New York Times investigation shortly before the monopoly came into effect, £6 million was allegedly sent from the gold dealer’s company in two tranches to Citibank deposit accounts linked to Zardari.<br />
Money is said to have been recycled via front companies in the tax-friendly British Virgin Islands into numerous overseas properties and many more in Pakistan, as well as a string of Pakistani sugar mills.<br />
Land deals seemed to involve controversial valuations. For example, one plot worth two billion rupees was acquired for a bargain 62 million rupees.<br />
The Bhutto-Zardari property portfolio includes a country club and polo ranch in Florida; a country estate called The House of the White Queen in France (where he stayed this week); and luxury apartments in London’s chic Pont Street in Belgravia.<br />
Part of the portfolio is a 355-acre estate in Surrey called R Rockwood, which is up for sale for £7.5 million, though when he bought it, Zardari’s declared wealth was just £300,000.<br />
Lavish home improvements have been made to the property. Tiny LED lights over the four- poster bed in the master suite mimic the stars in the night sky.<br />
Bizarrely, Zardari has recreated the interior of the local Dog and Pheasant pub in the house after he tried to buy it, but the publican refused to sell. The house’s 30ft Lalique glass dining table alone cost £120,000, not to speak of the tiger-skin rugs and crystal chandeliers.<br />
Such opulence is grotesque, particularly in light of the questionable circumstances surrounding the way the president obtained his wealth.<br />
Now this controversial figure has arrived in Britain, apparently to lecture Cameron about how serious his government is about combating the nests of terrorists who lurk all over Pakistan.</p>
<div id="attachment_1590" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 478px"><a href="http://pakbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Karachi-Fuel-Pump.jpg"><img src="http://pakbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Karachi-Fuel-Pump.jpg" alt="" title="Karachi Fuel Pump" width="468" height="286" class="size-full wp-image-1590" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Karachi in turmoil: Pakistani men queuing to buy fuel after the second night of violence in the capitali yesterday </p></div>
<p>By refusing to cancel the trip and return home to his flood-ravaged nation, he’s clearly made the decision that his presence in Europe will guarantee that the West will continue to pour huge amounts of aid into his venal swamp.<br />
And, no doubt, much of this financial support will be diverted to the country’s powerful army — which is rumoured to be even more corrupt than Zardari.<br />
All British governments have had to deal with unsavoury characters.<br />
Apparently, this is the price we must pay for preventing any other Pakistani-related bombers, like those who stalked our transport system on 7/7, from hitting Britain.<br />
Indeed, Pakistan is fast becoming the breeding ground for much terrorism and when we do eventually pull out of Afghanistan, ensuring Pakistan’s support will be vital to the stability of the region.<br />
Not that he needs me to tell him, but when Mr Cameron entertains this dreadful fraud at Chequers, he should sup with a very long spoon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://pakbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Nawaz-Shareef-said-his-party-did-not-trust-the-PPP-leadership.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1313" title="Nawaz Shareef said his party did not trust the PPP leadership" src="http://pakbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Nawaz-Shareef-said-his-party-did-not-trust-the-PPP-leadership.jpg" alt="" width="570" height="314" /></a></p>
<p>ISLAMABAD: <strong>All major political parties are making hectic efforts to end the deadlock created by a sudden change in PML-N chief’s stance on the 18th amendment, although Mian Nawaz Sharif reiterated his demand on Monday for changes in the provision about judicial appointments in the draft prepared by the parliamentary committee on constitutional reforms.</strong></p>
<p>And the issue on which the committee had failed to arrive at a consensus, the renaming of the NWFP, remained unresolved but the government was optimistic about reaching an agreement among all parties in a few days.</p>
<p>ANP chief Asfandyar Wali Khan told reporters after a meeting with Senator Mian Raza Rabbani, chairman of the committee for constitutional reforms, that the committee’s mandate was to resolve all issues, including the renaming of the NWFP.</p>
<p>Pakistan Muslim League-N chief Nawaz Sharif held a press conference and again justified the change in his stance and rejected allegations that he had taken a U-turn.</p>
<p>According to sources, the ANP leadership was assured by PML-N leaders in the evening that the issue of NWFP’s new name would be resolved after a meeting of the N-League scheduled for Tuesday.</p>
<p>Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani contacted Railways Minister Ghulam Ahmad Bilour who belongs to ANP and some PML-N leaders to discuss various steps to resolve the contentious issues.</p>
<p>Sources at the Prime Minister’s House said the government was hopeful of reaching an accord on the constitutional package by Wednesday.</p>
<p>According to sources, the chief of ANP’s NWFP chapter, Senator Afrasayab Khattak, led a delegation to the residence of PML-Q president Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain to discuss the possibility of getting the constitutional reforms approved by parliament without the support of the PML-N.</p>
<p>PML-Q’s provincial chief Amir Muqam told the ANP delegation that his party would not accept ‘Pakhtunkhwa’ as the new name of the NWFP, but promised to cooperate if Abasin, Khyber or Afghania was added to it.</p>
<p>The PML-Q constituted a five-member committee headed by Mr Muqam to hold talks on the issue.</p>
<p>The entire leadership of the PML-N, including Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, was in Islamabad, apparently anticipating a meeting with top government leaders.</p>
<p>Nawaz Sharif, who also had an off the record interaction with senior journalists, rejected a perception that he had sabotaged the reforms and said he had acted in national interest.</p>
<p>Mr Sharif put all the blame for the discord on Law Minister Babar Awan and said that premature announcement made by him about the package had caused the logjam.</p>
<p>He said it was wrong to assume that a consensus had been reached on the issues of renaming the NWFP and the procedure for appointment of judges.</p>
<p>He said it was better for the committee to deliberate for a few more days rather than letting the issues become contentious in parliament.</p>
<p>Mr Sharif said his party did not trust the PPP leadership which dissolved the PML-N government in Punjab and got him and his brother disqualified by what he called a ‘kangaroo court’.</p>
<p>He also said that he had no regrets over the stand he had taken on the crucial issue.</p>
<p>Mr Sharif blamed the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) for the current political chaos and said it was trying to link every issue with repeal of the 17th Amendment.</p>
<p>He said the PPP wanted to include a senior judge of its choice in the judicial commission. “It was unacceptable because three of the seven members were already representatives of the government.”</p>
<p>He described as ‘half-baked’ the constitutional package which was to be tabled in parliament.</p>
<p>He said some matters were still under discussion when the government announced that it would table the document in the National Assembly and that President Asif Ali Zardari would address a joint session of the two houses of parliament before that.</p>
<p>Mr Sharif also called for curtailing the president’s powers in ‘one go’ before moving to other reforms contained in the constitutional package.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>KARACHI: Muslim League Zia President Ejaz ul Haq on Monday said that if title of General (r) Zial ul Haq as President of Pakistan was removed from the Constitution then all titles of former PPP founder Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto would also have to be removed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>LAHORE: The General Secretary of Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Liaquat Baloch has said Sunday, PML-N chief Mian Mohammed Nawaz Sharif decided not to contest on NA-123 seat in by-elections due to JI’s contender Hafiz Salman Butt, running for the same seat, Geo news reported.</p>
<p>Addressing the by-election campaign rally, he said JI’s nominee Salman Butt beat Mian Salahuddin in 1985 polls and defeated former Governor Pujnab Mian Azhar in 1990 polls on NA-123 seat, therefore, for fear of his defeat seemingly looming, Nawaz Sharif would rather avoid than to run in by-polls.</p>
<p>He hoped for JI’s Hafiz Butt to repeat history by winning by-polls once again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>KARACHI: In a scathing attack on President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani, Jamaat-e-Islami Amir Syed Munawar Hasan on Sunday descried them as two sides of a forged coin. </p>
<p>Speaking to newsmen after attending the party’s CEC meeting here, he demanded that the contempt of court action should be initiated against President Zardari and Prime Minister Gilani in connection with issuance of illegal notifications about judges’ appointment. </p>
<p>“Prime Minister Gilani is not that innocent that he is unaware of presidential order,” he said, adding the present situation proves that the government has declared a showdown with state organs. </p>
<p>He was of the view that present judicial crisis would mostly dent the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP). </p>
<p>To a question, the JI Amir said that the state institutions were heading toward confrontation, which would deteriorate the situation even further. He also lauded the two judges for not accepting presidential orders about their elevation. </p>
<p>Hasan announced that the JI along with other parties and civil society would stage a demonstration outside the Supreme Court to express solidarity with judiciary. He also appealed to people for support for the supremacy of law.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>QUETTA: Tehrik-e-Insaaf chief Imran Khan on Sunday said that Pakistan needed justice more than PPP’s slogan ‘roti kapra and makan’ (bread, clothing and shelter).</p>
<p>In a telephone address to his party’s workers at Quetta Press Club, he said that the government wanted to bring the judges of its own choice. However, he said that his party would fully resist any such move by the government. </p>
<p>Khan urged the need for waging a struggle to get social and education justice besides judicial justice. </p>
<p>The PTI chief also called for the formation of an independent election commission along with judiciary so that the foundation of a free and fair election could be laid down in the country. </p>
<p>“A section of the country is doing politics either in the name of Islam or Mahajar,” he pointed out.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) will not allow the government to go scot-free, the party chief Mian Nawaz Sharif warned terming President Asif Ali Zardari as the biggest danger to the democracy.</p>
<p>Addressing the packed hall of journalists after the party’s meeting, he said it seemed that the government does not accept the restored judiciary.</p>
<p>The democracy never before faced such a great threat as now in the form of President Zardari, who has become the gravest danger to democracy, he said.</p>
<p>The PML-N condemns the incident that occurred yesterday, as the event plunged the country in the uncertainty and the President House outgrew its limits, Sharif told.</p>
<p>He said yesterday’s incident was an action re-play of November 3, 2007, adding the government is targeting the judiciary to safeguard its corruption in preference for their corruption to the respect for the judiciary.</p>
<p>The Army should have the role stipulated in the Constitution, he said.</p>
<p>Nawaz Sharif said he forcefully warned the government to ensure the supremacy of the Constitution, adding his party categorically rejects the autocratic method adopted by the government.</p>
<p>He said the judiciary was restored by the people not the government which only issued a notification, informing the journalists that he had told Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani a day before not to delay the implementation on the recommendations of judges’ appointments.</p>
<p>However, the following day, something else surfaced, he added demanding the recommendations of the Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Iftikhar Muhammed Chaudhry should be immediately put into action.</p>
<p>Nawaz said the PML-N wants to make it abundantly clear to the government in unequivocal terms that it would not be allowed to go its way on judges’ appointments nor would it be spared the chance for corruption.</p>
<p>‘We can make harsh decisions in the coming days and will protest in and outside the Parliament and mobilize the masses. We will not allow anyone to spoil the institutions for personal motives,’ he said.</p>
<p>Had the Charter of Democracy been implemented, then there would not have been these problems, he asserted demanding President Zardari to bring back to Pakistan his wealth siphoned off to Swiss accounts; this is the money hard-earned by the people of Pakistan.</p>
<p>The country has been turned into a circus, he added.</p>
<p>The people of Pakistan will take care of all affairs, the Army should not be dragged into them; nor should the Army get itself involved in such affairs, he said. </p>
