Gujranwala prepares suicide-bombers

Reported in Jinnah a madrassa attacked by the police revealed three terrorists who were arrested and two abducted boys talking training as suicide-bombers
Thus providing them with a (briefly) salable skill, unlike their unkidnapped schoolmates.
plus a lot of explosive material. Qari Ziaullah was arrested but the name of his organisation was not revealed for fear of reprisals from the powerful terrorists. Qari was arrested from Qila Didar Singh making good money off catching small boys.

Shahbaz in 'aghyar' mode
Blither, blither, blather...
Daily Jang quoted chief minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif as saying that that those who don't belong in us (aghyar) were determined to destroy us but he would himself accept death rather than accept the mastery of them. He asked the nation to stand up (utth khari ho). Daily Jinnah reported him as saying that he was saying it openly (duuankay ki chot par) that he would let his life go (jaan chali jayai) but not take bakhsheesh from strangers (aghyar).

Gen Ehtesham Zamir and American 'dabotch'

New columnist Major-General (Retd) Ehtesham Zamir wrote in Jang that on May 2 Pakistan was in the grip (dabotch) of America for 50 minutes. Than God made America take pity on Pakistan and did not increase this 'dabotch' to hours. This came after six or seven years that America began coddling Pakistan (goad main liya). Now we are fighting among ourselves while Americans might do more Abbottabads.
Yes, they might. Shall we discuss those training camps y'all want to ignore?

Ramshackle Schools in Punjab
If that's what they're like in the heartland, one shudders to think what's getting kaboomed in the tribal areas.
Daily Pakistan reported that 1,309 schools in Punjab were without any seats for the pupils to sit on and lacked the facility of drinking water and a boundary wall. In Lahore, 70 percent of the schools lacked furniture while the budget for it may have been spent only on papers. Many classes were being held under the hot summer sun while education bureaucracy rested in air-conditioned rooms without much work.

'Nawaz offending China'
Dear Hamid Gul, who always has his country's interests at heart.
World famous ex-ISI boss Hamid Gul told Nawa-e-Waqt that Nawaz Sharif by repeating his resolve to implement his India policy was offending the Chinese leadership who wanted Pakistan to confront India rather than be friendly with it. He said it was shocking that Nawaz was advising the nation not to go too far in its enmity of India.

China doesn't give cash assistance!

Daily Jang shocked the nation by declaring on its front page in a news item that China was under obligation by its laws not to give cash assistance to any state. That was why Pakistan was not getting any assistance to offset the loss accruing from suspending the friendship with the US. It quoted Farrukh Saleem as saying that increasing trade with China from the present $9 billion to $15 billion in the coming years would only increase the trade imbalance of Pakistan. (Enemy India plans to increase its trade with China to $200 billion in the same period.)
