Posted by K. Shahzad in Documents on April 19, 2010
Takmeel-e-Pakistan resolution was infact the start of Takmeel-e-Pakistan movement which was initiated by Zaid Hamid and the resolution was passed on 23rd March, 2010. Intentions are to remind people about achieving back the real honor and dignity for our country and us as we meant to have. In my opinion it does not come up with anything new, the constants are already the part of Pakistan Ideology but I consider it as a good reminder to achieve back which this country is meant to have. This actually reminds us Pakistanis to wake up now and work towards the betterment of country and its people, including choosing the right people to lead us.

India shows concerns over US Pakistan relations
Posted by K. Shahzad in International on April 12, 2010
Manmohan Singh and Barak Obama
Manmohan Singh the Indian President met Barak Obama the US president on Sunday in United States. As usual they again shown concerns over the on going US Pakistan relationships and the military aid being provided by US to Pakistan to cope with the militants in Pakistani areas.
Indian president claimed that the military aid and financial assistance in this regard provided by US government to Pakistan is often used against India, though Indians don’t have any evidence or actual facts and figures about this. The fact actually is that Indian themselves don’t want any good relations with Pakistan and also can not see any good relations of Pakistan with any other country of Pakistan.
Later on a meeting between Pakistani prime minister and American president was scheduled, the Indian president was also invited to that meeting to discuss matters directly with Pakistani prime minister but they Indians refused to be part of that meeting also refused to discuss anything directly with Pakistani representatives. This very much shows the intentions and thoughts of Indian leadership that they in fact do not want any good relationships between their country and Pakistan. If they are loyal enough to peace process and resolving the matters they must use every forum to discuss the matters and find a solution.
United States discards screening at airports for 14 nations including Pakistan

US Airports Body Screening
United states had additional screening procedures for 14 countries including Pakistan. Most of these countries were the Muslim countries and they had to go through this extra screening which included x-ray scanning of body in order to check for any weapons, illegal or dangerous stuff. Lots of people felt humiliated and disliked this extra scanning procedure.
Now United States have discarded these procedures and introduced the new profiling procedures which mainly rely on intelligence information and target the people for security check on base of intelligence information about a possible suspect the factors will include age, height and many other information about the suspect. Then this info will be used for security checking of specific number of people.
The old screening procedures were very much hated specially by the people of countries for those they were meant for. Pakistan was also having top level dialog on the issue with US letting them know that these procedures are being cause of new hatred for them and must be discarded.
A US official in Washington told Pakistani media that this change was result of Pakistani leadership’s engagement with them on the matter.
New procedures are very much appropriate as only the suspected individuals or less number of people will have to go through the additional procedures.
