BBC disclosures confirm Pakistan's suspicions about India: Nisar
2015-06-26
[DAWN] Talking to media personnel on Thursday, Interior Minister Chaudhary Nisar Ali Khan said the sensitive disclosures made in the BBC report confirmed Pakistain's suspicions about India's involvement in the country.

Nisar said intelligence agencies had in the past reported India's interference inside Pakistain, adding that recent statements from the Indian leadership were a clear indication of foreign involvement.

The interior minister also said he held a meeting with British High Commissioner Philip Barton on Thursday, during which he asked the high commissioner for his government's assistance in accessing details of the disclosures made in the BBC report.

"The high commissioner has recommended that I write an official letter from the government of Pakistain to the British government, requesting access to details relating to the disclosures made in the BBC report," said Nisar.

The interior minister said he will formally write to the UK government tomorrow (Friday) requesting Pak authorities' access to key information in relation to the serious allegations levelled by the BBC against MQM.

Unlike the Arab, who can only hold a mere two diametrically impossible ideas in his head at the same time.

But only five, please.

An unpublished fragment of Remus:
Brer Rabbit larned all six Kalimas!
Dem infants of asphalt
Led him to be hassled
By less pious Moes and Fatimas.

Wikipedia: "M. M. Hasan, An Inspector-General's diary, 1996, p. 70 recounts a case of a man arrested in Pakistan on suspicion of being an Indian spy because he was able to recite all six kalimas, which was deemed unlikely in a real Muslim."

#1  Not to rain on this happy parade of paranoia, but yesterday's Burg article said the Beeb was quoting an unnamed "authoritative Pak source". Which makes it less a parade and more of a circle jerk, I guess.

There is prolly a Pakisourcesaurus joke in there somewhere, but I'm not digging for it.
