Some months back Indian authorities in the IHK distributed pamphlets advising the people how to prepare in advance and what to do in the event of a nuclear attack.

It is high time Pakistani government also launched a campaign for its citizens to educate about the preparations to survive in the event of a nuclear attack.

Pak military official is reported to have said that it was not just a cross boarder firing by the Indian forces across LOC and the working boundary, but a mini war being waged by the Indians.

As such, the question is what stops Nawaz government from calling an emergency UN Security Council meeting?

Just for the information of the Indian government, Narendra Modi too is not at all favourite, neither with the Pakistani nation, nor with its government.

Pak envoy Abdul Basit fails to measure up to Modi govt

NEW DELHI: At a time when Indo-Pak tensions are running high, Pakistan’s man in Delhi, Abdul Basit, is not a favourite with the Modi government.

Basit’s stock with this government plummeted in August when he went ahead with his meeting with Kashmiri separatist leaders of the Hurriyat even after being explicitly warned against it by foreign secretary Sujatha Singh. The action resulted in India calling off foreign secretary-level talks with Pakistan, putting an abrupt end to the nascent process of engagement with the new Indian government.

In the run-up to PM Modi’s visit to the US, India indicated, through home minister Rajnath Singh and foreign minister Sushma Swaraj, that its is open to restarting communications. Government sources reckon this may not have been interpreted correctly by the Pakistani side, which declared they would not ask for a meeting between Modi and Nawaz Sharif in New York. Indian officials were told a meeting could happen only if India asked for it. Indian sources said the Pakistan envoy had an opportunity of effecting a course correction fairly easily, which did not happen.

In New York, Sharif’s Kashmir bait was not picked up either by India or the international community. As recently as this week, both the US and UN asked that the issue be handled bilaterally.

Former US ambassador Nancy Powell ran into a similar problem when she refused to reach out to the then chief minister of Gujarat Narendra Modi, misreading the obvious signs that he might become PM. She was swiftly recalled by Washington. A new US ambassador, Richard Verma, has just been named.

The foreign office called in the Pakistani deputy high commissioner, Mansoor Khan, on Tuesday to deliver an official protest against the firing on the border.

“To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter… to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring — these are some of the rewards of the simple life.”

Pakistan must fight fire with fire..!

The government of Pakistan has called a National Security Council meeting on Friday, 10 October, 2014.

After this meeting, Pakistan must warn India to immediately repeat immediately, stop firing across LOC and the working boundary and must close within 7 days, ALL repeat ALL its consulates in Afghanistan, which are working all along the Pak-Afghanistan border.

Failing which, all to and fro overflights over Pak air space, should be stopped for India and no land facility be allowed to India, for any Indo-Afghan trade.

Last but not the least, Pakistan must keep its strategic forces at combat readiness, to deal with any eventuality, as per its declared nuclear doctrine of using the first use option, for a decisive nuclear strike. In fact, in a nuclear scenario, second option is no option at all..!

Urgent appeal to the government of Pakistan..!
