The associations are meant to support officers and voice their grievances, but they’ve hardly addressed any issue — be it reforms or high-profile resignations.
On the first episode of Two Much With Kajol and Twinkle, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan were confronted with another hypocrisy: age gaps. And they didn't come out looking good.
SEBI probe concluded that purported loans and fund transfers were paid back in full and did not amount to deceptive market practices or unreported related party transactions.
While the IAF remains committed to the Tejas programme and has placed orders for 180 Tejas Mk1A, the force is eagerly waiting for the Tejas Mk 2 version.
What Munir has achieved with Trump is a return to normal, ironing out the post-Abbottabad crease. The White House picture gives us insight into how Pakistan survives, occasionally thrives and thinks.
How does even a question arise about whether it is a defeat? It’s a victory no matter how you look at it. Pakistan needs three countries to prevent being blacklisted and so it remains grey listed. That’s where it will remain for a long time and pay the economic price for it.
Actually Pakistan has never been made to pay for its deviant behaviour. Imagine if Osama was found in Iran. Those who think Pakistan can be taught moderation have no understanding of strategic issues, and no sense of history. They are foolishly sentimental, and suffer from biased sensibilities, while conveniently forgetting 26/11.
Pakistan has never paid a price commensurate to the crimes. However, that doesn’t mean that they haven’t paid any price. The greatest genocide of the 20th century after WW2 remains unpunished. They did loose half the country in that process. After the partition, some of the most prosperous areas of India went to Pakistan and, as a result, the per-capita income of Pakistan was far higher. Today they lag far behind India in per-capita and the gap continues to increase. They are also bankrupt and have to go begging every year. We all need to keep a perspective. Yes, Pakistan has not been punished like Nazis were but that doesn’t mean that they haven’t paid a price.
Pakistan needs to become – and be viewed by the rest of the world – as a responsible nation state, working diligently to improve the lives of its 213 million citizens, amongst the poorest in the world. The CPEC offers it a chance to move to a higher economic plane. It can earn credit and goodwill for contributing to enduring peace in Afghanistan. Perhaps help reduce tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Placing it on the black list helps no one. Countries that wish it well should help secure moderation in its behaviour. An effort could be made to revive SAARC, create a more productive regional grouping.
An earlier intervention against the e commerce giants strained relations with the United States, may have been one of the triggers for withdrawal of USP benefits. One understands sympathy for small retailers. However, blunt government intervention will run counter to efforts make India a favoured destination for global businesses.
Very difficult to judge what the NRC exercise will achieve in Assam. The only thing that can be said with certainty is that it should not be replicated nationwide. That would unsettle social harmony at a time when the country will need to deal constructively with whatever emerges from the Ayodhya verdict.
