This doesn't mean that the change he predicted has ended here, the change is just getting started. People all around Pakistan and the world are protesting the rigging that went on during the elections. People are starting to change themselves and awaken to a new, or 'naya' Pakistan. Pakistan uses a British based Election system. Imran Khan's party Pakistan Thereek Insaf (Pakistan's movement for justice, or PTI) had previously just one seat in the national assembly, of him himself. His party rose from on just one seat to becoming the second largest party in Pakistan, taking over Bhutto's party the Pakistan's People's Party (or PPP). PTI also become the most dominant force in Pakistan's Khyber Paktunka province, one of the four provinces of Pakistan. PMNL and PPP gained majority of their seats from the illiterate youth of Punjab and Sindh, respectively. PMNL (Pakistan's Muslim Noon League) is Nawaz Shariff's party, it has emerged as the largest party after winning majority seats in Punjab. Most of Pakistan's seats are contested in Punjab, the province with the largest population. Imran Khan won 3 of the 4 seats he was contesting in, 2 in Punjab and 1 in Khyber Puktunka. The 4th was in Lahore and lost due to rigging. Media outlets showed Imran Khan winning, but all of a sudden he lost? PMNL was accused of vote rigging, and protests are being done in Lahore to this day for that seat and many other seats alleged of vote rigging in Punjab. MQM, which is Altaf Hussain's party, supposedly won the most seats in Karachi. There were video evidence of rigging. After winning, Altaf Hussain, who is a British citizen living in Britain, threatened to secede Karachi from Pakistan and to attack anyone who protests. There were many people who were going to vote for PTI in Karachi, but with the alleged rigging, they had their votes put to no use. Now, because of the threats Altaf Hussain made, Pakistanis living in London and all over the world have been contacting the British police and get Altaf Hussain arrested for terrorist threats. The British high commissioner had taken notice of this, and the British police had said that they have gotten 10,000s of calls. Imran Khan may have been rigged of many seats, and not won the elections, but he has started the biggest change and trust in Pakistan's history. With this change and trust, in these 5 years we will struggle, and with God's will elect him as our next leader in the next election where the corrupt can't dare to think of doing what they did in this election.

Pakistan Mon, 29 Apr 2013 01:09:16 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=bc4_1367211947 Pakistani KARACHI: Here is some perspective for you: Pakistan's GDP equals merely the size of the loss Apple Computers has faced since the launch of the iPhone 5. What do you think really keeps this country's economy ticking, despite the unconvincing numbers released in black and white? The answer: remittances. Pakistan receives $13-14 billion annually from external sources. Compare that to the total it collects in taxes, which is around $10 billion. You can see for yourself what accounts for more in the economy. Payments from abroad usually take two channels: they either come from Pakistanis working overseas, or they come through our relatively small, yet gigantic-in-effect, web start-up industry. This industry comprises businesses and freelancers that globally outsource their services, and includes names such as Sofizar Constellations, Naseeb Networks ( Rozee.pk ), TradeKey and others. Sofizar alone makes around $15 million per year, and TradeKey.com is the second biggest business-to-business sales portal in the world, following alibaba.com . One of the world's best online affiliate marketer, Faisalabad's Pasban IT Group, is doing so well, it owns the only Lamborghini Aventador and Ferrari F430 in Pakistan. How are these companies doing so well, and how big are these Pakistani startups on the international scene? If the ownership of one of the world's most expensive cars doesn't sound impressive enough, let me take you back a few years. Back in the day, when Digg.com was alive, one of the world's greatest Digg-ers, Waseem, was from Pakistan. He, along with a group of fellow marketers, was hitting the front page of Digg.com on a daily basis, which meant looping in hundreds of thousands of visitors in no time. That is equal to popping your article on Reddit.com 's front page these days. One of the clients of these champion Digg-ers was the Chicago Tribune. You can figure the rest yourself. This is how the online marketing industry works. Most of what goes viral online is not what people naturally promote and share, but a result of gaming that system to perfection and with skill. This is what good internet marketers do: you can only judge on the basis of what content channel it comes to you from. What if I told you that T-Series, one of India's biggest music record labels, has a prime internet marketing affiliate based in Karachi? They are just a bunch of boys who do it underground! The bidders for tenders for this job span the entire Earth. It shouldn't come as a surprise to you, then, that a company based in Karachi makes apps for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (that's NASA, mind you), for the space giant's mobile platform. Ever wondered how musicians and other celebrities get hundreds of thousands of views and likes in on their YouTube videos, status updates or Instagram shots almost instantly? The game sometimes gets dirty, when low esteem drives some marketers to trade outgoing traffic from adult websites on to their own. From Twitter followers and retweets to StumbleUpon traffic bursts, everything is all paid for and gamed, all courtesy of underground internet marketing gurus. You may be disturbed to find that this is the reason why the Daily Mailserves much more traffic than the New York Times, BBC or The Guardian. 50% of what the product is, and 50% of the product's marketing accounts for the success or failure of a product. Taking these less costly underground routes is often the cheapest way to battle your competitor and see them in the eye. This is the reason why the top ten international blogs based in Pakistan earn more than the top ten TV anchors of the country : the top 3 make $60,000 per month, each. They like to stay underground because of various reasons, so I might not be able to take their names, but consider that Pakistan possesses the world's number one iPhone jail-breaking blog, one of the world's biggest B2B sales website, some of the world's biggest humour networks, a top-notch survey reporting website and many more corporate blogs that are serving the global village like a local resource at the grandest levels. These are tales that never get told.

By DR. ABDUL RUFF Affairs ,Former university Teacher; Editor:INTERNATIONAL OPINION; Editor: FOREIGN POLICY ISSUES; Palestine Times: RANDOM THOUGHTS; ( http://abdulrubb.wordpress.com ); website: http://abdulruff.wordpress.com / mail: abdulruff_jnu@yahoo.com ] __________________________________ Former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif who expanded his illegal wealth in his previous reign declared victory for his Pakistani Muslim League party in the 11th May parliamentary elections even while votes were still being counted. Early results indicated that Sharif will likely return to the job he held twice in the 1990s. But no party is expected to win a majority of seats in parliament, meaning Sharif would have to form a coalition government. This time youngsters became active and many extended support to Imran Khan's PTI. The contest was close between PML-N and PTI in Punjab. Urban Sindh extended support to MQM and PPP remained docile in urban as well as rural areas. Surprisingly, Bilawal, Chairman PPP (son of President Zardari and Benazir Bhutto) preferred to remain in door due to life threats. ANP came under attack in Sindh as well as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. In Balochistan, nationalist parties are likely to get reasonable number of seats. Religious parties formed an alliance but JI and JUI-F fielded their own candidates. A point worth mentioning is that, due to strong poll campaign, turnout was higher as compared to previous elections, also may be people have realized that they are being cheated by the leaders and if they wish to bring a change in Pakistan they have to cast their vote. MQM, JI and some other religious parties have lodges complaint of rigging and are demanding re-election. So, there is the question of the polling being fair, free and transparent. However, some observers are of the view that any attempt to mar credibility of the polling held or non-acceptance of the results could create unrest in the country, an objective enemies of Pakistan are trying to achieve. They initially threatened people to stay away from this non-Shariah compliant system but their argument carried no weight as they declared not to stop, religious parties, PML-N, JI and PTI from participating in the polls. Sharif Brothers and their dynasty contested on various seats. Most of the political commentators were hinting towards 'hung parliament' in which no party will get majority and the outcome could be another 'coalition' government. A point to watch is has the youth made any difference? The Sharif regime is tasked now with leading a country suffering from attacks from NATO terror syndicates occupying Pakistan, and political corruption severe power shortages, a struggling economy,. In his earlier stint as premier of Pakistan he let all capitalists thrive in Pakistan by special tax rebates and he himself was a beneficiary of all state patronage of illegal wealth making. Will Sharif and other capitalist associates now resume the loot of the nation's resources and ignore the aspirations of hapless Muslims? Or will they get over the US puppetry hang over and rebuild the nation along Islamic way? More importantly, will the new regime kick the NATO terror gangs out of Pakistan soil and let Pakistanis live in peace as before the Bush rogues and Pentagon criminal infrastructure entered Islamizing Pakistan by using readymade Sept-11 hoax, Osama gimmicks and and Afghan nukes? So long as NATO terror gangs are allowed to stay on in Pakistan, killing Muslims in Afghanistan-Pakistan by calling them as terrorists and insurgents, there is no question of peace, progress and stability in Pakistan. More and more Muslims would only be slaughtered by the enemy of Islam- both others and Muslims themselves as paid agents of CIA &amp; co. Sharif must ask Obama and associates to stop killing Muslims in Pakistan and Afghanistan and elsewhere through their agents. Pakistan must use its UNSC membership for this job. Pakistan must now fix its policy priorities in favor of Islamic Pakistan and Muslims- after all Shari'a is not a mere slogan. ___________ http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=4f5_1368339681 Abdul Ruff Colachal Pakistan: Muslim League is back in power - what next?

Tue, 07 May 2013 07:04:35 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=cf1_1367924479 Baron_Kaz LAHORE: In majority Muslim Pakistan, religious minorities say democracy is killing them. Intolerance has been on the rise for the past five years under Pakistan's democratically elected government because of the growing violence of Islamic radicals, who are then courted by political parties, say many in the country's communities of Shiite Muslims, Christians, Hindus and other minorities. On Saturday, the country will elect a new parliament, marking the first time one elected government is replaced by another in the history of Pakistan, which over its 66-year existence has repeatedly seen military rule. But minorities are not celebrating. Some of the fiercest Islamic extremists are candidates in the vote, and minorities say even the mainstream political parties pander to radicals to get votes, often campaigning side-by-side with well-known militants. More than a dozen representatives of Pakistan's minorities interviewed by The Associated Press expressed fears the vote will only hand more influence to extremists. Since the 2008 elections, under the outgoing government led by the left-leaning Pakistan People's Party, sectarian attacks have been relentless and minorities have found themselves increasingly targeted by radical Islamic militants. Minorities have little faith the new election will change that. "We are always opposed to martial law (but) during all the military regimes, the law and order was better and there was good security for minorities," said Amar Lal, a lawyer and human rights activist for Pakistan's Hindu community. About 96 percent of Pakistan's population of 180 million is Muslim. Most are Sunni, but according to the CIA Factbook about 10 to 15 percent are members of the Shiite sect. The remaining 4 percent are adherents to other religions such as Christians, Hindus and Ahmedis - a sect reviled by mainstream Muslims as heretics because they believe a prophet came after Muhammad, defying a basic tenet of Islam that Muhammad was the last prophet. Sunni radicals view Shiite Muslims as apostates. The US Commission on International Religious Freedom in a report last month berated the Pakistani government for its poor record of protecting both its minorities and its majority Sunni Muslims and recommended that Pakistan be put on a list of worst offenders, which could jeopardize billions of dollars in US assistance. "The government of Pakistan continues to engage in and tolerate systematic, ongoing and egregious violations of freedom of religion or belief," the report said. "Sectarian and religiously motivated violence is chronic, especially against Shiite Muslims, and the government has failed to protect members of religious minority communities, as well as the majority faith." Lal said that in the past three years, 11,000 Hindus living in Pakistan's southwestern Baluchistan province have migrated to India because they were worried about security and frustrated by kidnappings and forced conversions of young Hindu girls to Islam. Pakistan's Hindu minority complains that scores of Hindu girls have been kidnapped, forced to marry their abductor and convert to Islam. "In Pakistan's southern Sindh province, from every Hindu house, one member of the family has left either for Karachi or for a foreign land," said Lal, who was once a special adviser to Benazir Bhutto, the leader of the Pakistan People's Party until her assassination in December 2007. "We have lost our hope from the democratic forces because they do everything for money" and nothing for minorities, he said. Pakistan's Christian communities have complaints as well. In March, a mob of young Muslims stormed and set fire to nearly 150 homes and shops in the Joseph Christian Colony, a Christian enclave on the outskirts of Lahore, the capital of Punjab, Pakistan's most populous province, where 60 percent of Pakistanis live and where militant Islamic groups have their headquarters. The mob gathered after one resident was accused of blasphemy, but local people say it was a tiff over money. Most residents fled for their lives, returning the next morning and eventually rebuilding their homes. On April 30, some radicals attacked 25-year-old resident Babar Ilyas. His injured arm and leg wrapped in bandages, Ilyas told the AP that he was beaten by radicals who warned Christians to leave the area and drop charges against at least two people arrested in connection with the earlier attack. "We do not have any hope in elections," said Salim Gabriel, a self-declared social worker for Christians and colony resident. "Dictatorship is better for minorities." Gabriel accused political parties of aligning with radical Islamic groups to get votes, campaigning with well-known militants which he says emboldens radicals among Pakistan's Sunni majority to carry out attacks against minorities with impunity. Minority religious groups fear extremists will piggyback on the backs of mainstream political parties to a position of political power. They most often point to Nawaz Sharif, the head of the Pakistan Muslim League. In an interview with the AP, Sharif's spokesman Siddiq-ul-Farooqi flatly rejected any links to extremist groups. "We are a moderate party and have no relationship with extremists," Farooqi said. Members of the party, however, have been seen on the campaign trail with members of extremist parties like the Ahle Sunat Wal Jamaat, a new name for the outlawed Sunni militant group Sipah-e-Sahabah Pakistan, or SSP. Minority leaders and election monitoring groups say Sharif's party is withdrawing candidates in certain electoral constituencies to give radical religious candidates an unchallenged run for election. Farooqi denied any accommodation with extremist groups. But Pakistani politics is rarely straightforward. Sharif's party has fielded several Shiite candidates, even as it rubbed shoulders with militant Islamists who publicly call Shiites apostates deserving of death. Most of the deadly attacks targeting Shiites in Pakistan have been carried out by a group affiliated with the SSP. Yet the renamed SSP is fighting elections as part of a coalition of six radical religious parties. Maulana Ahmed Ludhianvi, the leader of the SSP and a candidate, said the coalition has 300 candidates running for election. His party placards often hurl abuses at Shiites, calling them kafirs, or non-believers. The non-believer epitaph is also widely used in reference to Ahmedis, who consider themselves Muslims but have been explicitly declared non-Muslims in Pakistan's constitution. As well as violent attacks on its members, Ahmedi leaders told the AP they have been singled out with a separate electoral roll that identifies them as Ahmedis. The separate list also gives their addresses, making them easy targets. Security was tightened after a brutal attack in 2010 when militants simultaneously hit two Ahmedi mosques in Lahore killing more than 100 people and wounding scores more. Ahmedis rarely vote in elections because to do so they have to declare they are non-Muslims, says Shahid Ataullah, a spokesman for the Ahmedi community in Lahore. So virulent is the abhorrence of Ahmedis by Pakistan's religious right-wing parties that many candidates in Saturday's elections have found it necessary to openly declare their view that Ahmedis are non-Muslims. The country's controversial blasphemy laws are often used to jail Ahmedis for crimes as simple as saying Assalam-o-Allaikum, a traditional greeting among Muslims and often used by non-Muslims living in predominately Muslim countries. It means "May the peace of God be upon you." http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=cf1_1367924479 Baron_Kaz Pakistan : minorities say democracy is killing them! Pakistan Mon, 29 Apr 2013 09:19:35 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=b88_1367241328 Ruptly Sanam Fakir is one of only seven transgender candidates in the upcoming Pakistani general elections to be held on May 11. Fakir, who was born Essa Gul, had a very strict upbringing at home. She was bullied by her brothers and eventually forced out of the family home when she was 15 years old working as a prostitute and a dancer. She is now campaigning for the upcoming elections to the National Assembly in the Pakistani city of Sukhur in Sindh province. Though a very conservative town, the people of Sukhur have responded positively to Fakir's campaign. She said, "The peoples of Sukhur are too good. They are supporting me very well and their response is very good." There are an estimated 500,000 transgenders in Pakistan and they are often stereotyped as dancers, beggars and prostitutes. The Pakistani Superme Court recognised the transgender community in 2009, ordering they be issued with separate ID cards. Fakir added, "In the whole world people will give examples that Pakistan is so much democratic where transgender can also contest elections." The seven transgender candidates who are running for the general election on May 11 are all running as independent candidates with no affiliation to a political party. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=b88_1367241328 Ruptly Pakistan: Transgender candidates up for election for first time Pakistan, Transgender, elections, politics Wed, 24 Apr 2013 03:58:01 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=9b6_1366789953 Pakistani If the Internet were the only electorate, Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) would be victorious by a landslide. Team Imran has made great strides in the cyberspace leaving far behind other political parties in Pakistan. The ground realities, however, are much different from the cyber avatars of political leaders and their parties. With fewer than 10 persons per 100 , Pakistan boasts one of the lowest Internet penetrations in the world suggesting that cyber support for political ideologies may not influence the outcome in the May 11 elections. A comparison of the websites of main political parties in Pakistan suggests that the PTI has a clear lead on the competition. PTI's website is one of the top 160 most visited websites in Pakistan. Nawaz League's (PML-N) website is the second most visited website. However, PML-N's website is amongst the 2,000 most visited websites in Pakistan, suggesting much less Internet traffic than that of the PTI. The ruling party's (PPP) website is the fourth-most visited website, falling even behind that of the Sindh-based ethnic party, MQM. Source: alexa.com The Internet savvy in Pakistan are no different from the rest of the world. The most frequently visited website in Pakistan is Facebook, the popular social networking utility. Other popular websites include search engines, such as Amazon.com, Wikipedia, and LinkedIn. Youtube.com, the video-sharing website that remains banned in Pakistan, is listed as the 10th most frequented website. Political parties, despite their popularity as socio-political movements, do not enjoy the same level of popularity (or notoriety in some cases) in the cyberspace. Whereas, the ruling Congress Party in India may very well be the world's largest democratic party, its Internet popularity falls short of its street credence. Consider that Congress Party's website ranks 20,615 by way of the Internet traffic in India. PTI, in comparison, is ranked 157 in Pakistan. Globally, PTI's website is ranked at 23,432, far ahead of India's Congress Party' website, which is ranked at 196, 404. Source: alexa.com In fact, PTI's Internet success is even more spectacular if the Party's web traffic is compared with its peers globally. PTI's website generates more web traffic than the Democratic Party's website in the United States, which is ranked 23,848 in the US, and 104,051 globally, lagging far behind PTI's website whose global rank makes it the 23,432 most-frequented website in the world. Other web-metrics also suggest that PTI's website is able to engage visitors in a more meaningful way than the rest in Pakistan. Two key metrics that serve as proxy for a successful website are the average time spent by a visitor on the website and the number of distinct web-pages viewed. PTI's website is far ahead of the rest in both metrics. On average, a visitor spends 4 minutes and 28 seconds per day on PTI's website. The second-most attention retaining website is that of MQM where visitors on average spent 3 minutes and 28 seconds. The ruling Pakistan Peoples Party lags even behind Jamat-i-Islami's (JI) website with an average visitor spending 2 minutes and 27 seconds. As for the unique web pages visited by a user, again PTI's website is far ahead with 3.68 webpage views. Jamati-Islami's website secured the second place for this metric. Note that PPP's website has failed to stand out for any metric reported so far. Source: alexa.com Many have argued that Imran Khan's PTI may be attracting web traffic from abroad, suggesting that while the Party's website is popular, the popularity, however, may be owed to Imran Khan's fans abroad. Unlike other politicians in Pakistan, Imran Khan indeed has a global following because of his stature as a former world-class cricketer. Another key metric that may help resolve this issue is the percentage of web-traffic generated within Pakistan. Interestingly, 75 per cent of PTI's web traffic is generated from within Pakistan. PPP's website also generates 75 per cent web traffic from within Pakistan. Surprisingly, it is PML-Q's (the former King's Party) website that boasts the greatest share of foreign visitors to its website. The Awami National Party, a regional political entity that draws its support from the Pushtuns in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, generates the highest web-traffic from within Pakistan. Outside of Pakistan, PTI's website attracts the greatest share of visitors from the United Kingdom (UK). Almost 5.5 per cent of the web traffic to PTI's website originates in te UK, followed by 5 per cent from Canada. Another 3 per cent traffic originates in Australia. The US-based web traffic to PTI's website at 2 per cent is much smaller than expected. Given that Pakistani Diaspora is much smaller in size in Canada and Australia than the one in the US, one may conclude that the Party has stronger roots and better organisation in Canada and Australia than it does in the US. A word about the web visitors A look at the demographics of those who frequent PTI's website confirms the perception that the PTI is more popular amongst the youth than otherwise. The green colour bars for 18 to 24 years old in the following graph suggest that the PTI's website attracts significantly more individuals in this particular cohort than other websites. At the same time, PTI's website attracts comparatively lower share of 35-plus cohorts than other websites. Also obvious in the following graphic is the fact that PTI's website is frequented much more by highly educated individuals with graduate degrees than other websites. A male bias is also obvious from the graph, which may result from the fact that men outnumber women in Pakistan in using the Internet for political purposes. Source: alexa.comTurning web visitors in voters PTI's popularity is owed, to a large extent, to the cult-like following of its founder, Imran Khan, who made his name as one of the cricketing world's best all-rounders. He led Pakistan to a world cup victory, a feat no other Pakistani cricket captain has been able to repeat since. Imran Khan's political fortunes changed in 2009 when he succeeded in generating significant interest in his politics. The graph below summarises the relative popularity of key political players in Pakistan by turning the Google-based searches into an index. The blue-line represents Imran Khan's web-based popularity that is characteristically higher than that of others including President Zardari, Nawaz Sharif, Altaf Hussain, and Bilawal Bhutto Zardari. PTI's professional web-team has indeed afforded a comparative advantage that may be hard for others to replicate. Until yesterday, PML-N's website was down for maintenance. The websites of other parties suggest that they have been designed and maintained by novices. It takes great skill to have PTI's website ranked higher than the websites for much larger political parties in the US and India. Team Imran deserves credit for this. A larger question still looms in the background. Can web visitors be turned into voters? And even a larger concern is about those Pakistanis who are not yet on the Internet. World Bank statistics suggest that more than 90 per cent Pakistanis do not have access to the Internet. The web success thus represents the popularity amongst a tiny minority of privileged Pakistanis. It says nothing about the down-trodden millions who have yet to get on any highway, let alone the information super-highway. If PTI is serious about winning the next elections, it has to achieve two key targets. First, it has to convert web visitors into voters. There is no guarantee that those who visit PTI's website will also vote for the Party's candidates. But more importantly, PTI has to push its workers out of the digital domain onto the dirt roads in villages and small towns across Pakistan to convince the real electorate to vote for the Party's candidates who hitherto remain unknown entities to most. Even the Party's website is yet to even list the names of the candidates it plans to file in the next elections.

Forty-year-old Badam Zari filed nomination papers for a National Assembly constituency in the restive Bajaur tribal region yesterday while Nusrat Begum plans to contest elections from Lower Dir, a tribal district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province. While an increasing number of women are taking part in politics in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, it is almost unheard of for women to be part of electioneering in the conservative tribal belt, where several militant groups are active. In the past, several tribes have even barred their women from voting in polls in the tribal belt. Asad Sarwar , the returning officer for Bajaur Agency, told the media that Badam Zari had filed nomination papers for National Assembly seat number 44. Bajaur Agency has two seats in the lower house of parliament. Zari said she was contesting the polls in order to work for the welfare oftribal women. "I want to work for the betterment of women in the tribal area, especially Bajaur Agency, which has suffered immensely in the tribal system," she told the Dawn newspaper. No lawmaker from the tribal areas had ever raised the issues of women in the National Assembly, she said. Zari said she was not scared of anything or anyone and was determined to contest the polls because this was her "constitutional and religious right". While women make more than 30% of the total vote in Pakistan, little to none women ever take part in Pakistan's turbulent tribal areas. She said she would launch her campaign soon. Nusrat Begum, a district vice-president of Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf, told reporters she would contest the polls as an independent candidate because her party had allotted a ticket to another candidate. "All the people who won from the constituency in the past did nothing for people's betterment," she said. If she is elected, she would work to provide basic amenities to people, especially women, children and minorities, she said. Pakistan will go to the polls on May 11 to choose a new 342-member National Assembly and four Provincial Assemblies of Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=1fd_1364863874 Pakistan_Has_Nukes Pakistan record: 2 tribal women in polls pakistan Mon, 04 Mar 2013 01:48:07 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=984_1362378061 Aussie 4 videos - A bomb attack in Pakistan's largest city Karachi killed at least 38 people, including women and children, and wounded 100 others, police said. The blast on Sunday hit close to an area dominated by minority Shia Muslims, senior police official Ghulam Shabir Sheikh said, though he said that the target of the attack was not immediately clear. "The bomb also badly damaged two residential buildings. Women and children were among the dead and injured," Fayaz Lughari, police chief of Sindh province, of which Karachi is the capital, said. He said the initial blast was followed by a second explosion. A suspected suicide bomber targeted people as they left a mosque in the Abbastown neighbourhood. Yet some eye-witnesses said a bomb attached to a motorbike caused the explosion. However, police think explosives may have already been planted at the scene. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=984_1362378061 Aussie Terrorist Bomb Kills Dozens and Injures Hundreds - Pakistan pakistan, karachi, terrorist, bomb, suicide bomber, shia, muslims, muslim, Mon, 25 Feb 2013 22:28:32 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=26e_1361849249 Pakistan_Has_Nukes KARACHI: A member of Pakistan's transgender community is to contest upcoming general elections on a ticket of equal rights, saying the community has more to offer than begging or dancing at weddings. The elections, due by mid-May, will mark the first democratic transition of power after an elected government's full term in Pakistan's 65-year history. It will also be the first time Pakistan's estimated 500,000 "eunuchs" are eligible to seek office, after the Supreme Court in 2011 ordered the government to issue them with identity cards and to register them as voters. In Pakistan, the word "eunuch" is also used to refer to hermaphrodites, transsexuals, transvestites and homosexuals in addition to castrated men. Those classified as eunuchs are traditionally paid to help celebrate the birth of a son, or to dance at weddings. "It is not our destiny to merely dance for others and hold begging bowls. We have a life to live," Sanam Fakir, 32, told AFP by telephone from the town of Sukkur in Sindh. The elections will be for the national parliament and provincial assemblies. Seats in Pakistan are often won on a patronage basis, giving wealthy landlords and entrenched political parties a huge advantage. Running as an independent in Sukkur, which is traditionally dominated by the main ruling Pakistan People's Party and which has a tiny transgender community, Fakir's chances are slim of winning a seat in the Sindh provincial assembly. "We are not corrupt. We have no need to be corrupt. We have no families and our own needs are limited. We are contented people," Fakir told AFP. "I know it is very difficult to defeat them, but everyone should contribute for the betterment of society," she added. But in a conservative Muslim country where sexual relations outside marriage are taboo and homosexuality is illegal, "eunuchs" are treated as sex objects and often become the victims of assault, ending up as beggars and prostitutes. Fakir completed 10th grade in school and now runs a charity, which includes a computer centre for members of her community. "We are getting educated now. People used to make fun of us, but now they have started to respect us," she said. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=26e_1361849249 Pakistan_Has_Nukes Pakistani transgender candidate to run for office Pakistani transgender candidate to run for office Tue, 13 Feb 2007 09:34:18 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=033d1_4307 saleemrazalrk Naudero,district Larkana,sindh , Pakistan, a van accident at naudero , in that accident 8 peoples are died. they all consist with one bhutto family. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=033d1_4307 saleemrazalrk a van accident in town Naudero,District Larkana ,<span class="highlight">Sindh</span> , Pakistan. there are 8 people are died in th 360.yahoo.com/saleemjohny_watson
