The US army's withdrawal process needs to resume and as before, the challenge is to do it while preventing Afghanistan from falling back into civil war.
Trump tweeted that he cancelled secret meetings with the Taliban & Afghan President Ashraf Ghani due to Thursday’s Kabul bombing that killed a US soldier.
Greens have a sizeable support in the Western countries with clean air and blue skies, but not in India, where poisonous air, water and soil kill millions.
The helicopters produced by Lockheed Martin are known as ‘submarine hunters’. India ordered 24 of these aircraft in 2020 to replace the Sea King helicopters. 15 have been delivered till date.
The India-South Africa series-defining fact is the catastrophic decline of Indian red ball cricket where a visiting team can mock us with the 'grovel' word.

‘Dont hurt our sentiment we wont react’.
Suggesting people of other religions dont have sentiments simply because they have a heart AND a mind to be able to tolerate a joke or comedy.
And yes terrorism has no religion until people shout glory to their prophet and God when they blow themselves up and kill innocent people. Psychos in America who massacre school children haven’t been heard or seen saying ‘praise the lord’! Tamils did not blow themselves up in the name of their religion. They were not shouting glory to any if their Gods or prophets. They did not name their organisation with religious intonation.
Talking about RSS! It is only an organisation , nationlist or religious is debatable although the name literally means National service organisation. Wether Modi wants to run the country by its agenda( whatever the narrative ) is speculative. In any case you have religion , India could do with a bit of Nationalism to bring its extremely diverse people together.
. Talk about rights of minorities . I m all for equal rights but lemme ask what rights does any Muslim state give to its minorities? Try making a temple or church in Saudi Arabia. Anybody can check the Hindu or Christian demographics in Pakistan in its 70 years of establishment.( its available on Google)
Incidentally ,the utopian version of the state of Medina would differ greatly between legitimate historians. We all know only too well that as great a crickter as Mr Khan was his knowledge of history and geography leaves lot to be desired.
Prime Minister is concerned about the liberty of Muslims in Kashmir but won’t mention of them in China. Not to mention the pashtouns and Balochs in Pakistan itself. And which Muslim country came forward to accept the Rohingyas or the Syrians for that matter.
What claim can Pakistan make on Kashmir?, just that there is a large muslim population there? ( Wont mention the pogram of hindus there when it did become so large)There’s more Muslims in India than in Pakistan. Want to take them all??
your conviction of them getting radicalized will certainly radicalize them because you are making this about religion whereas this is about territory.
Or should India keep giving a piece of itself on the basis of religion?
I m not defending or attacking any religion or act of terrorism, at all!. I m just pointing out double standards.
Its ironic that a proud leader of a theocratic Islamic state should preach secularism. That too, to not only a country but to a civilization that thrives on ‘Ekam Sat vipra bahudha vadanti’.(go figure).
Husssin haqqani is planted agent of indian RAW nd written here just to sabotage peace effort of pakistan who is not just involved in peace process with india but helping usa with Afghanistan and iran.
Kashmiris r dying nd UN resolution demand their rights. The false tetrorism tag ll not help them to hide indian tetrorist action
The opinions of a man so lacking in principles and so willing to sell his soul for material gain have little weight an credibility. How can any intelligent Indian even give an iota of weight to Haqqanis views?
Has he got the US Citizenship OR still under Loyalty accumulation points program to gain Citizenship. Pity the person who can sell his soul, beliefs, religion, country and family for a few monetary gains.
The fact is that, Pakistan does not have a good constitution. Nor does it have the intention to provide good governance to it’s people. It has looked upon it’s army to be a saviour, which is in fact a parasite & very big problem. The army is relying on the use of religion to rally the masses around itself. IK is not a material for true & SANE LEADERSHIP. Pakistan needs to go back to the ‘drawing board’ & recarve it’s future path.
I may not like IK for what he has done to the nation by being very divisive , unfortunately the author who was a talented journalist an asset for the very military establishment once upon a time is wrong in this case . Imran Khan is right a 100 % on what he says my question to the Author Hussain Haqani is what was his role in the OBL fiasco why does he not write about it tell the truth
His (IK’s) role was one of claiming brotherhood of a bunch of “angry brothers”.
If you do not understand what aiding and abating means, no amount of Haqani’s writing would make up for the shortfall of your mind (or IQ).
The writer is traitor. Wanted in Pakistan for spying and selling confidential secrets of Pakistan to other countries. His family disowned him. He is a traitor and he has no right to comment on Pakistan. Hussian come back to Pakistan, sitting in america behind computer and spread hate that’s all you can do. You cant even leave your room, I have seen your video how you were publicly humiliated at the hotel.
He is not a traitor… You are a delusional criminal Anon who does not want to reveal his own name… Coward !
He us wanted where? Could you please mention a single FIR lodged against him?
Labellinganyone traitor is our national hobby, go and do some homework.
Disowning intellectuals is a high rated act in pakistan. Someone who advocate different opinion and ideas can not be labelled traitor just because you don’t like his ideas.
Who humiliated whom? He is a greater patriot than your IK and he speaks the truth. You guys don’t even have the qualification to tie his shoe lace.
I was one of the early supporters of CPEC. It would have given Pakistan a good reason to develop its economy, become a more normal nation. Taken the China – Pakistan friendship into something more constructive, beyond a shared antipathy towards India. The state of Pakistan’s economy reflects years of misplaced priorities. The children of the elite can emigrate to the West, but that still leaves 200 million people a Third World economy. Instead of mocking Pakistan, we too should draw the right conclusions. Bangladesh is now the star of the region, poised for 8% growth.
Well its true. USA kept conducting regime changes in Pakistan, egging on military rulers to take over and further USA’s interests. This destroyed Pakistan, dismembered the country and has brought Pakistan to the brink
The first military coup was way before USA shows interest in Pakistan. Although USA relationship with Pakistan started early 50s, but Military aid started during 60s. While successful military coup during late 50s before that they had weak political govt during which head of states were changed like monsoon
As usual brilliant work by HH. Its frustrating that no one calls IK out when he keeps repeating this false assertion.
Another Q for all – imagine you are OBL for a minute, you have to escape from an area full of caves and difficult terrain. Would you think its safer to go across the border?..no not in lawless fata..wait I think it may be better to get a big house right in middle of an Army garrison town. Also let me take my whole family, surely no one will notice an odd arabic speaking family in a congested area amongst locals. Would you??..maybe if someone is ensuring your safety!

Thanks to the author for fearlessly putting the facts before the readers.
The opinions of a man so lacking in principles and so willing to sell his soul for material gain have little weight an credibility. How can any intelligent Indian even give an iota of weight to Haqqanis views?
Intelligent or not, Indians are in a position to understand Haqqani’s views correctly — it’s pathetic that you guys are not.
Hussain Haqqani is ultimate ….!!! ………….someone who will sell his soul even if there is no gain !!!!
Has he got the US Citizenship OR still under Loyalty accumulation points program to gain Citizenship. Pity the person who can sell his soul, beliefs, religion, country and family for a few monetary gains.
