India calls off secretary-level talks with Pakistan
By Web Desk Tribune Published: August 18, 2014
India has called off foreign secretary-level bilateral talks with Pakistan, which were scheduled to be held on August 25, according to the Times of India.
The development follows a meeting between Pakistani High Commissioner to India Abdul Basit and Hurriyat leaders from Kashmir earlier on Monday.
The meeting met with criticism from various political quarters in India, with the main opposition Congress hitting out at the government for allowing Basit to meet the Hurriyat leaders.
The Congress questioned why the talks had not been called off, following the meeting.
Meanwhile, prominent Hurriyat leader Shabir Ahmad Shah on Monday welcomed the upcoming India-Pakistan foreign-secretary level talks. However, he said that bilateral dialogue between the two countries would not resolve the
Kashmir issue, according to TOI.
“We welcome the talks between India and Pakistan but bilateral talks cannot resolve Kashmir issue as we have seen that such initiatives always ended in failure over the past six decades,” Shah said.
Shah elaborated that the Kashmir issue could not be resolved without the inclusion of the “true leadership” of Jammu and Kashmir in the resolution process.
He went on to say there was nothing wrong with the Pakistani envoy meeting Hurriyat leaders. “India and Pakistan are parties to the Kashmir dispute but we are the basic party. What is wrong if one party meets the other party?” he said.

PML-N threatens to launch civil disobedience movement
December 21, 2011RECORDER REPORT
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on Tuesday threatened to lunch civil disobedience movement against the government if it didn’t resolve the problem of gas load-shedding in Punjab. Abid Sher Ali of PML-N on a point of order in National Assembly said that federal government was targeting Punjab as far as gas load shedding was concerned.
He said that as many as 600,000 workers were being deprived of their livelihood due to closure of industrial units in Faisalabad owing to gas load shedding. He said that the people of Sindh were facing just 12 hours gas load shedding per week while Punjab was facing three to fours days per week load shedding. He said that gas load should be divided equally among the provinces. “If the government did not resolve the issue of gas load shedding, the PML-N can lunch civil disobedience movement against it,” he warned.
He said that the government was extorting money from the people in the name of fuel adjustment surcharge. He said that industrial units of Punjab were being closed down due to gas load shedding. Hanif Abbasi of PML-N raised the issue of gas load shedding in twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
He said that the PML-N had called for mass protest against gas load shedding in Rawalpindi. “I hope that the Interior Minister would assure the House to resolve this problem. We will call off this protest if the minister gives assurance to resolve the issue, otherwise he would be responsible for any law and order situation,” he warned.
Responding to the opposition members, Interior Minister Rehman Malik said that the Secretary of Petroleum and Natural Resources had assured him that gas pressure would be normal till the evening in twin cities. He said that the government and opposition should sit together to resolve the issues.

Stop Bragging About Being Busy
We’re all too busy — and we’re proud of it. We want to do it all, have it all, and achieve it all. It’s no wonder why we backdoor-brag about being swamped: it’s code for being successful and important. But in the long run, all this motion leads to burnout. The antidote is to pursue less: design your life around what is essential and eliminate everything else. Disciplined prioritizing can leave you with work-free weekends, more thinking time, and time with friends.
Set up a personal quarterly offsite. Here’s a simple rule of 3: every three months take three hours to identify the three things you want to accomplish over the next three months.
Add expiration dates on new activities. Not every new activity has to become a tradition.
Say no to a good opportunity every week. This is counterintuitive, but if we don’t do it, we’ll never have enough time to figure out what we really want to invest our time in.
