Ahmad Khan have said that 

the visiting all-party Indian 

parliamentary delegation has 

got a clear and unambiguous 

message from Kashmir that 

there would be no talks until 

India accepts Kashmir as a 

disputed territory. 

The leaders while reacting 

to Indian Home Minister 

Rajnath Singh’s claim over 

Jammu and Kashmir and his 

anti-Hurriyet remarks said 

that Kashmir was an internationally 

recognized dispute, 

and Kashmiris were fighting 

to secure their right to self– 

determination, and not for 

sustaining the propaganda 

unleashed by Mr. Singh in 

the name of Kashmiriyat. 

Aasiya Andrabi in a statement 

issued in Srinagar said, 

“The people of Kashmir, its 

leadership, the employees, 

the patients, the traders, and 

the civil society sent a clear 

and a unanimous message to 

the delegation that there will 

be no talks until disputed 

nature of Jammu and 

Kashmir is acknowledged 

without giving in to any kind 

of pressure from the government 

instruments.

Jammu Kashmir have shown 

to the world that there is no 

difference of opinion or 

thought when it comes to 

opposing New Delhi’s sinister 

policies in Kashmir, she 

added. 

“Funny that world’s most 

oppressive regime is lecturing 

Kashmiris about humanity,” 

she said and added that 

there was only one voice

this dispute, she pointed out. 

She said it was funny that 

“a regime that has killed 

lakhs of our children and 

maimed countless, innocents, 

is talking about 

humanity.” She said that 

Kashmiris were not fighting 

for sustaining the propaganda 

called Kashmiriyat. “This 

movement isn’t there to 

defend these vague terms 

like Kashmiriyat but it is for 

safeguarding the dignity of 

lakhs of Kashmiris who want 

nothing but end to the illegal 

occupation,” she added.

ISLAMABAD –– LAHORE –– RAWALPINDI –– KARACHI 

EDITORIAL 

NATIONS of war-monger govts and allies: 

Do protest and end wars, demand peace! 

NATIONS of war mongering governments, their 

allied countries and partners in war crimes, mercenaries 

and terrorists engaged in killings in targetted 

countries around the world in war, can rise and 

protest against wars astonishingly going on in a civilized 

21st century in which millions of people were being 

killed, injured, disabled and made homeless! Some psychologists 

and statesmen call war a “beastly madness” 

which can be stopped by nations pressuring their warring 

governments and terrorists lurking among themselves! 

Preventing war can be a citizen activity: Each citizen 

has constitutional right under which he or she can participate 

in the growing anti-war movement demanding 

peace at least in their own countries and in a country 

being targetted by their governments. Vietnam is one 

example when Americans protested and ended a long 

war. Here are some suggestions by media colleagues 

and what each of the international community members 

and citizens can do in their own countries worldwide: 

Nations and people around the world can educate 

themselves on the issues. To stop terror and avoid wars, 

we must first understand what causes it, and what 

approaches have, and haven't, been successful in the 

past. So far, America's "War On Terrorism" seems to be 

focused exclusively on the movement that has apparently 

spawned the perpetrators of the Sept. 11 attacks: radical, 

violent fringe conservative Sunni Muslims, from an 

area that stretches geographically from Northwest 

By Bashir Goth 

Awell known adage says: “When the US sneezes, the 

world catches a cold,” but we may also add “When 

America holds elections, the world holds its 

breath.” 

United States presidential elections keep the world spellbound 

and more so this year due to the stark contrast 

between the two candidates, the unconventional and colourful 

business tycoon Donald Trump and the astute and ingenious 

veteran politician Hillary Clinton. 

While forAmericans “All politics is local”, the rest of the 

world watches it with great zest, analysing the election rhetoric 

for clues on tangible foreign policy agenda no matter 

how bizarre and absurd the narrative may sometimes look, 

particularly on the side of Donald Trump. 

Although the campaign narrative can often be seen as a 

hawker’s pitch that doesn’t hold much water, let us weigh 

each candidate’s foreign policy agenda vis-a-vis the Middle 

East and Africa. But to do that we may need to have a quick 

look at US President Barack Obama’s legacy in the two 

regions because it is after all Obama’s record that Clinton 

would like to build on and Trump would like to demolish. 

Obama’s rise to the presidency spawned an era of hope 

for the world. Africa’s reception of Obama’s election was 

ecstatic and his speech to the Muslim world from Cairo a 

few months later, in which he promised a new beginning 

betweenAmerica and theArabs was like a breath of fresh air 

to the Middle East and the Muslim world. Awarding the 

Noble Peace Prize to Obama was to celebrate this definitive 

moment in history and to underline the world’s rejection of 

president George W. Bush’s era of perpetual war and fearmongering, 

as well as to welcome an era of hope for a wise 

and transformative leadership at a time when the world was 

experiencing a financial crisis and economic uncertainty. 

No doubt there was a daunting task waiting for the young 

president who was in many ways untraditional and 

untrained in the corridors of politics and culture of corporate 

America.And to the testimony of many economists, Obama 

successfully pulled the global economy out of its doldrums, 

but it is his foreign policy that remains contentious and this 

is where the world looks for clues to Hillary and Trump. 

Trump views the Obama-Hillary foreign policy as one of 

“death, destruction and terrorism.” He accuses the Obama- 

Hillary policies of causing Syria’s disastrous civil war, Iraq’s 

total mess, the emergence of Daesh (the self-proclaimed 

Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) and Iran’s empowerment 

with nuclear weapons, and a $400 million (Dh1.47 billion) 

cash ransom payment. 

And despite Trump’s cantankerous outbursts against 

Muslims, it looks like his argument against Obama’s record 

in the Middle East resonates with the people in the region. 

Even Trump’s tongue-in-cheek accusation of Obama as 

being the founder of Daesh was not farfetched in view of 

some Arabs who attribute the rise of Daesh to Obama’s lack 

of action. 

Irrepairable rift 

Arab analysts lambast Obama’s policy of relinquishing 

the American leadership role in the Middle East to Russia 

and Iran. Obama’s criticism of America’s Gulf allies as 

being “free riders” in an interview with The Atlantic magazine 

provoked the ire of the Arabs, particularly Saudi 

Arabia. 

“No, Mr Obama. We are not the ‘free riders’ that to 

whom you refer. We lead from the front and we accept our 

mistakes and rectify them. We will continue to hold the 

American people as our ally and don’t forget that when the 

chips were down, and George Herbert Walker Bush sent 

American soldiers to repel with our troops Saddam’s aggression 

against Kuwait, soldiers stood shoulder to shoulder 

with soldiers. Mr. Obama, that is who we are,” wrote Prince 

Turki Al Faisal in Arabnews. Others see this rupture of US- 

Arab relations as being irreparable and call the Gulf Arabs 

to start relying on their own capacity. 

“Relying on the next US president — whoever that may 

be — does not seem a practical policy option, particularly 

Africa to Southeast Asia. It can only help if we learn 

more about the history, culture, religions and economies 

of those parts of the world; the West's historic and current 

religious, military, political and economic relationships 

with them and with Islam; and how those conditions, 

from colonialism through global economic 

changes and geopolitical rivalies, have contributed to 

poverty, desperation, hatred and, at times, religious 

fanaticism today. Part of how we've gotten here is the 

West's tendency to impose our own cultures, values and 

expectations on these regions without taking the time to 

understand where the people we're dealing with are 

coming from. People interested in stopping terror and 

avoiding war cannot afford to repeat that mistake. 

Nations can develop a closer, more respectful relationship 

to Muslims and the Islamic world. 

As the world shrinks, this is actually something we 

should be doing with all cultures and religions, but for 

the purposes of humanity’s current War on Terrorism, it 

is particularly important that, much as Christianity and 

Judaism have learned to live in greater harmony after 

two millenia of tension, Western cultures and religions 

must find and develop their common interests with the 

Islamic world. Just as with any minority or "other," the 

more nations of different religions and cultures, each 

work with and understand people of the Islamic faith, 

the less they will seem strange and threatening and the 

more we will recognize each other as individuals and as 

human beings. 

OPINION 

Hold your breath until US elects a president 

when all of the front-runners for the position seem unlikely 

to reverse the shifts initiated by Obama. Bearing this in 

mind, the Arab Gulf states must continue to strengthen their 

own military capabilities, perhaps by building an even wider 

pan-Arab military coalition to protect their interests and provide 

for the collective security ofArab states, away from US 

interests and policies,” said Dr Marwan Kabalan, a Syrian 

academic and writer, in Gulf News. 

On the other side, Hillary Clinton lauds Obama’s Middle 

East achievements, including decimating Al Qaida and 

killing Osama Bin Laden, bringing thousands of US troops 

home from Iraq and Afghanistan, disabling Iran’s nuclear 

cap-ability, and forcing Syrian President Bashar Al Assad to 

give up his chemical weapons. Obama defenders also say 

that blaming him for the unprecedented upheavals, particularly 

in the Middle East, “is like arriving in town after the 

tornado and blaming the Red Cross for the wreckage. 

History is more likely to give him credit for adopting a sober 

strategy and making it work,” says American columnist 

Steve Chapman. 

Given Trump’s fickleness, aggressive character and isolationist 

policy, it is obvious thatArabs who put their honour 

and dignity above all other considerations would rather live 

with an intelligent, polite and internationalist Hillary than a 

man who finds no qualms in being vindictive and insulting. 

They would rather hope Hillary has an Anwar Sadat 

moment in breaking with the legacy of her former boss and 

reinvigorating America’s active role in the Middle East. 

Age of partnership 

On the African side, Obama will be remembered for initiating 

an age of partnership that moved beyond assistance 

and foreign aid. 

“Now America has been involved in Africa for decades. 

But we are moving beyond the simple provision of assistance, 

foreign aid, to a new model of partnership between 

America and Africa — a partnership of equals that focuses 

on your capacity to solve problems, and your capacity to 

grow,” said Obama in his 2013 South Africa speech. 

Obama’s Power Africa Initiative, which aims to double 

access to power in sub-Saharan Africa, could be considered 

Obama’s signature achievement that stands on par with Bill 

Clinton’s African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), 

and George W. Bush’s President’s Emergency Plan for Aids 

Relief (PEPFAR). 

The partnership was also further cemented in the firstever 

and largest US-Africa Leaders Summit convened by 

Obama in 2014. 

The choice for Africa is between the continuity of 

Obama’s legacy by Hillary, who visited 24African countries 

during her tenure as Secretary of State and contributed to 

peace initiatives in many African nations, and between 

Trump, who blasted “African leaders for having insatiable 

desire for power and wealth,” and who professed that 

“Africa should be recolonised again for another 100 years 

because Africans are still under slavery, they know nothing 

about leadership and self-governance.” 

Africa had its fair share of eccentric and flamboyant 

leaders in its history and Trump rightly fits on the list of such 

personalities that Africa wants to forget. Indeed, Trevor 

Noah, host of America’s Daily Show, nailed it in a segment 

in which he compared Donald Trump to African dictators 

and warlords. 

“For me, as an African, there’s just something familiar 

about Trump that makes me feel at home,” he said. He then 

listed Trump’s bravado and flamboyance against former 

African dictators. 

Africa has ample problems that need serious attention, 

serious thinking and difficult decisions, and I don’t think 

African leaders would be enchanted by outlandish 

eccentrics of a foreign leader, even if he was American. 

Regardless of who ultimately wins the US elections, it 

is doubtful that either Africa or the Arab world will be 

rejoicing.

days . The respective meter reading staff has 

been informed by telephone and messages for

taken on 20th and 21st of every month but the 

reading which was to be taken as per schedule 

on 20th and 21st August now will be taken on

consumer will have to bear the brunt of 

Rs 15000 on account of additional bill.

Philippines scrambles to soothe 

tensions after Obama slur 

VIENTIANE, Sep 6: New 

Philippines President Rodrigo 

Duterte sought to defuse a row 

with the United States on 

Tuesday, voicing regret for 

calling President Barack 

Obama a "son of a bitch", a 

comment that prompted 

Washington to call off a bilateral 

meeting. 

The tiff between the two 

allies overshadowed the opening 

of a summit of East and 

Southeast Asian nations in 

Vientiane, Laos. 

It also soured Obama's last 

swing as president through a 

region he has tried to make a 

focus of U.S. foreign policy, a 

strategy widely seen as a 

response to China's economic 

and military muscle-flexing. 

Diplomats say strains with 

longtime ally the Philippines 

could 

compound 

Washington's difficulties in 

forging a united front with 

Southeast Asian partners on 

the geostrategic jostle with 

Beijing over the South China 

Sea. Duterte has bristled 

repeatedly at criticism over his 

"war on drugs", which has

said it would be "rude" for 

Obama to raise the question of 

human rights when they met. 

Such a conversation, 

Duterte told reporters, would

phrase "putang ina" which can

of a whore".

After Washington called

the Philippines issued

reporters. 

The bloody episode

with a twin suicide bombing

near the Defence Ministry

the coup attempt earlier this

Egypt's parliament approves 

appointment of Minister of Supply 

CAIRO, Sep 6: Sheikh as supply 

minister after his predecessor 

resigned amid allegations 

of corruption in wheat procurement 

in the world's largest 

importer of the grain. 

Khaled Hanafi stepped 

down on Aug. 25 under pressure 

from parliament, which 

had launched an investigation 

into allegations that millions 

of dollars intended to subsidize 

farmers were used to purchase 

more wheat on paper 

than was found in silos. 

The public prosecutor has 

charged several private silo 

owners and others with profiteering, 

forgery and enabling 

the embezzlement of public 

funds. Hanafi does not face 

criminal charges himself over 

the scandal. 

The Ministry of Supply is 

in charge of Egypt's food subsidy 

program and main state 

grain buyer, the General 

Authority for Supply 

Commodities (GASC). 

Before his appointment as 

minister, Sheikh was head of 

the armed forces' public services 

division. Sheikh's career 

has seen him serve in several 

senior administrative roles in 

Defence Ministry and he was 

previously responsible for the

That attack was claimed 

by the Taliban and was followed 

a few hours later by a

business and residential area 

of the city close to the government 

and embassy district. 

After the blast in Share

A year on, migrant crisis 

hangs over votes in 

Hungary, Austria 

VAMOSSZABADI, Sep 6: 

On a warm morning in late 

August, two dozen migrants 

carrying stuffed plastic bags 

and backpacks boarded a bus 

outside a refugee center in 

Vamosszabadi, a village in 

northwest Hungary. 

Escorted by police on what 

was meant to be a short shopping 

trip organized by the 

Hungarian immigration office, 

the men, women and children 

should have spent a few hours 

shopping in the nearby city of 

Gyor before returning to their 

makeshift homes. 

Half of the group, however, 

slipped away to a park where 

they were met by a man. He 

led them through an underpass 

to the railway station and they 

jumped on a train headed for 

the Austrian capital, Vienna. 

Their whereabouts now is 

unclear. One year after the 

border between Hungary and 

Austria became a focal point 

of a mass influx of refugees to 

Europe, many of them heading 

for Germany, officials in 

both countries say the situation 

is largely under control. 

added. "He expressed his deep 

regard and affinity for 

President Obama and for the 

enduring partnership between 

our nations." 

Obama's deputy national 

security adviser, Ben Rhodes, 

said the focus on Duterte's 

comments leading into the 

summit had not created a constructive 

environment for a 

bilateral meeting. 

"All of the attention frankly 

was on those comments, and 

therefore not on the very substantive 

agenda that we have 

with the Philippines," he told 

reporters. 

Officials from both countries 

said there would be no 

formal meeting rescheduled in 

Laos but a short conversation 

between the two presidents 

was possible. 

Instead of the Duterte 

meeting, Obama held talks 

with South Korean President 

Park Geun-hye, a day after 

North Korea fired three medium-range 

missiles into the sea. 

He urged a full implementation 

of sanctions against North 

Korea, adding that the missile 

test demonstrated the threat 

that Pyongyang posed.

returning home from

PARIS, Sep 6: North African 

countries should be cooperating 

more to stop Islamic 

State fighters who are fleeing 

their Libyan stronghold of 

Sirte from returning to their 

homelands and causing trouble 

there, Tunisia's defense 

minister said on Tuesday. 

Libyan forces aligned 

with the U.N.-backed government 

in Tripoli launched 

their campaign to recapture 

Sirte in May and are advancing 

on the last areas under its 

control. 

But Tunisia, which estimates 

that about 4,000 of its 

nationals left to fight for 

jihadists groups, is concerned 

that many are returning to the 

country and could turn their 

focus on home soil. 

"The danger is real. 

Those who leave Sirte are 

heading south to eventually 

join Boko Haram, but some 

are also going west," the 

Tunisian minister, Farhat 

Hachani, told journalists on 

the sidelines of a gathering 

of defense and military officials

LONDON, Sep 6: Air passengers

More than 120 flights

Akira box office collection day 4: 

Sonakshi Sinha film goes steady 

MUMBAI, Sep 6: Sonakshi 

Sinha‘s Akira held a firm 

ground over the weekend. A 

film made on minimal budget 

that packed good punch 

seem to have found audience’s 

appreciation gradually. 

The weekend thus saw 

fairly decent numbers with 

over 16 crore adding to its 

kitty. First Monday was 

expected to take a dip despite 

being a holiday for Ganesh 

Chaturthi since people opt 

for pandal hopping more 

than movies on that day. But 

the drop is pretty staggering. 

From a 6. 20 cr Sunday, the 

film came down to 3. 40 cr 

which took the toll to 20. 05 

cr. 

Clearly, it couldn’t really 

cash in on the four day weekend 

fad. But if we go by our 

Trade expert Akshaye Rathi 

who had earlier revealed the 

budget of the film to be 

around 13 crore or so, 

Akira’s total isn’t bad at all. 

In fact, it has already recovered 

its cost of production 

and what it earns next will be 

added as a profit only. Taran 

Adarsh, trade analyst, shared 

the numbers on Twitter saying, 

“#Akira Fri 5.15 cr, Sat 

5.30 cr, Sun 6.20 cr, Mon 

3.40 cr. Total: 20.05 cr. 

India biz. STEADY!” You 

can see the drop which is 

pretty evident but it is still 

doing a good job at the box 

office. 

If the film continues to be 

steady at the box office,

whose followers have been 

linked to numerous plots

to five years and six 

months in prison on Tuesday 

for inviting support for Islamic 

State, Sky News reported. 

Choudary had been convicted 

previously by a jury at 

London's Old Bailey court of 

using online lectures and messages 

to encourage support for 

the banned group which controls 

large areas of Syria and 

Iraq. 

Notorious in Britain where

That’s because the film 

doesn’t boast of a superstar 

hate preacher, he is also wellknown 

abroad, making regular 

TV appearances in the wake of 

attacks by Islamist militants to 

blame Western foreign policy 

for targeting Muslims. 

Prosecutors said that in 

postings on social media, 

Choudary had pledged allegiance 

to the "caliphate" 

declared by Abu Bakr al- 

Baghdadi and said Muslims 

had a duty to obey or provide 

support to him. 

Choudary had denied the 

terrorism charges and 

claimed the case was politically 

motivated. He was 

found guilty after trial in July.

before hard landing, fire: inquiry 

CALAIS, Sep 6: Truck drivers 

and farmers blocked traffic 

on the motorway approach 

to France's northern port of 

Calais for part of Monday, 

demanding the closure of a 

migrants camp they blame for 

mounting insecurity and an 

ailing local economy. 

The protest had looked set 

to resume on Tuesday after 

senior officials of the FNTR 

national truck drivers' federation 

- the organization spearheading 

the action - said it 

should continue until the government 

committed to a date 

for the camp's dismantling. 

But that appeared uncertain 

late on Monday after the 

federal aviation authority said 

the pilot had tried to abandon 

the landing after the main 

wheels of the Boeing 777- 

300 had already touched 

down. 

A few seconds later the 

plane became airborne again, 

only to descend and sink back 

onto the runway as the wheels 

were retracting into the aircraft. 

Seconds later the plane 

caught fire as it slid hundreds 

of meters on its fuselage. 

All 300 passengers and 

crew were evacuated from 

the plane, which was arriving 

from Thiruvananthapuram, 

India. Fourteen people were 

admitted to hospital. One firefighter 

was killed in the 

intense blaze. 

French truckers demanding migrant 

camp closure block Calais traffic

preparing to resume flights. 

British Airways said it was 

taking longer than normal to 

process customers at a number 

of airports around the 

world, including London's 

federation's president called 

for the go-slow to end. 

Dubbed the "jungle", the 

squalid camp is a half-way 

house for thousands of 

migrants fleeing war and 

poverty who dream of crossing 

the English Channel to 

Britain. It currently houses 

between 7,000 and 9,000.

Despite his often controversial 

comments and refusal 

to condemn attacks by 

Islamists such as the 2005 

bombings on the London 

transport system, Choudary 

has always denied any 

involvement in militant 

activity and had never been 

previously charged with any

Dar calls for promoting 

bilateral trade with Afghanistan 

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Ambassador for Afghanistan Syed Ibrar Hussain called on Finance Minister Senator M Ishaq Dar. 

Account deficit stands at $2.480mn in FY 2015-16 


Finance Minister Mohammad 

lshaq Dar on Tuesday 

informed the Senate that the 

balance of payments position 

has improved over the years. 

In a written reply during 

question hour, he said, the 

current account deficit in 

Financial Year 2015-16 stood 

at US$ 2,480 million (0.9% of 

the GDP) as compared to FY

the GDP). 

Foreign exchange reserves 

as on 30th June, 2016 were 

US$ 23.1 billion whereas on 

30th June, 2013 they were 

US$ 11 billion, he said and

19.92 billion in FY 2015-16, 

showing an increase of 43% 

over FY 2012-13 figure of

Government has taken a number 

of steps to improve the 

balance of payments position 

and build the country’s foreign 

exchange reserves. 

Major steps include successful 

completion of the IMF

receipts of the Coalition 

Support Fund. 

To facilitate and enhance

He added that briefings to 

Pakistanis going abroad, 

establishment of call centers 

to resolve issues of overseas 

Pakistanis on priority basis, 

allowing opening of foreign

literacy programs have led to 

a steady increase in remittances.

to trade figures exports 

registered a further decline of 

6.8 per cent in July 2016-17

bureaucracy with reference to 

country's weak trade performance 

and slow progress on 

planned Preferential Trade 

Agreements (PTAs) and Free 

Trade Agreements (FTAs). 

Jawad highlighted that the 

key reasons for the decline in 

exports are stated as energy 

crisis, lack of international

machinery, weak contract 

enforcement, inadequate 

investment growth, and (vii) 

constraints in regional markets.

adjustment of sales tax on 

petroleum products.

In this respect, it is clarified

finalised, but they will 

probably be a 5-year and a 

15-year offer, as well as a 

possible spot purchase. 

petroleum prices in the 

international market, the 

government has been 

adjusting sales tax rates on 

petroleum products to 

rationalize the revenue 

stream as well as the consumer 

prices. This practice 

was also adopted in many 

countries to protect the tax 

revenues which were 

falling due to linkage with 

the prices. In Pakistan, 

however, public interest 

was given due priority and 

as a result Pakistan has the 

lowest petroleum prices in 

the region.

billions of dollars into 

LNG infrastructure, including 

construction of a second

Pakistan look to avenge ODI defeat 

LONDON, Sep 6: The nights 

are drawing in, the kids are 

back at school, the summer's 

main international trophies 

have been tussled over and 

divvied up. All that remains 

now is an autumnal farewell in 

Manchester, as England and 

Pakistan do battle for one last 

time in a one-off floodlit T20. 

It all makes for a low-key 

finale to an otherwise engaging 

visit from a popular 

Pakistan touring team. Their 

victory in the fifth and final 

ODI at Cardiff on Sunday 

spared them the ignominy of 

a 5-0 series whitewash but 

also, to a degree, deprived 

this contest of its edge. Not 

even the Super Series (currently 

16-10 in England's 

favour) can keep up the pretence 

that there's anything 

tangible at stake. 

That said, there's still plenty 

to prove for the personnel

South Africa pick 

Phehlukwayo for 

Australia ODIs 

SYDNEY, Sep 6: Uncapped 

fast bowler Andile 

Phehlukwayo has been named 

in the South Africa squad 

which will host Australia for 

five ODIs from September 30. 

Captain AB de Villiers, who 

missed South Africa's last 

series - the Tests against New 

Zealand - due to an elbow 

injury, is back. The world's 

No. 1 bowler in Test cricket, 

Dale Steyn, also returns to the 

50-overs format after being 

rested for SouthAfrica's previous 

ODI assignment, the triseries 

against West Indies and 

Australia in the Caribbean. 

Fast bowler Morne Morkel 

and batsman Rilee Rossouw, 

who hurt his shoulder during 

that tri-series, were not considered 

for selection due to 

injury. Morkel had injured 

himself during the Caribbean 

Premier League. While 

Steyn's presence covers for the 

absence of Morkel, David 

Miller was brought in to 

replace Rossouw. 

Miller was South Africa 

A's top scorer in the just-concluded 

quadrangular series in 

Australia, where he top-scored 

for his team with 332 runs at 

110.66. Phehlukwayo was the 

side's leading wicket-taker in 

the quadrangular, with nine 

wickets at 25.77 and an economy 

rate of 4.98. 

Pakistan have no reason to 

recall their most recent trip to 

Kolkata with any fondness, 

either, after a group-stage 

defeat to India derailed their 

own World T20 campaign, 

and in their first 20-over outing 

since March, they will 

embark on the start of their 

own new era, with Sarfraz 

Ahmed, one of their star campaigners 

of the England tour, 

leading his country for the 

first time outside of a single 

ODI as stand-in. 

It promises to be a fun night 

out in Manchester, and who 

can quibble with that? But, 

given that the next World T20 

is scheduled to take place in 

four years' time (notwithstanding 

the growing clamour for a 

2018 event), anyone seeking 

pointers for the future directions 

of both teams can probably 

afford to let their attention 

waver for a few hours. 

Aisam and 

partner in QF 

of US open 

NEW YORK, Sep 6: The 

unseeded duo of Pakistan's 

Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi and 

Sweden's Robert Lindstedt 

showed an impressive form to 

oust the fifth seeded team of 

Jean Julien Rojer of Holland 

and Horia Tecau of Romania 

6-3, 7-6 (7/4) to move into the 

quarter finals of the US Open. 

It was an intensely emotional 

contest as on both sides 

of the net were ex-partners 

facing each other. "Its not easy 

to be up against your ex-partner, 

but I am happy that we 

were able to pull through," 

said a happy sounding Aisam 

after the match, according to 

information made available 

here on Tuesday. 

In the first set, Aisam and 

Robert were able to break first 

Horia's serve at 2-1 up and 

then Roger's at 4-1 up to take 

a 5-1 lead when Roger and 

Horia struck back to first 

break back on Robert's serve 

and then by holding their 

serve to make it 5-3. At this 

stage Aisam made no mistakes 

while serving for the set 

and successfully closed the 

first set with a 6-3 score. 

In the second set, both 

teams raised their level further 

and did not let their opponents 

break their serves and eventually 

it was in tie break that 

Aisam and Robert prevailed 

upon the Dutch-Romanian 

duo and won the second set 7- 

6 (7/4). 

Earlier, in the second 

round Aisam and Robert beat 

the tenth seeded pair of 

Finland's Henri Konitinen and 

Australia's John Peers after a 

grueling three set match with 

a score of 7-5, 6-7 (9/7), 6-3.

this doesn’t apply to the

but with the win in Cardiff, 

we have now realized that 

this team is capable of winning

Wasim. “We just need to bat 

sensibly, and need to build 

partnerships in middle,” the 

former captain added. 

Wasim insisted that 

although Pakistan lost the 

series 4-1, there are still some 

positives for the team to pick

can still win matches for 

Pakistan. 

But he needs to remain 

focused on each game,” said 

Wasim. Wasim said that it is 

now up to Mickey Arthur 

and co, along with selection 

committee, to analyze the 

positives and negatives of 

the series and decide about 

the group they need to have 

with the team for the next 

four/five years. 

“We don’t have likes of 

Bradman or even likes of 

Miandad or Inzamam sitting 

at bench, whatever we have is 

in front of us. Give these 

youngsters few games, allow 

them to grow up and perform,” 

he added. 

After the ODI series, both 

the teams are now heading to 

Manchester for the one-off 

T20I game and according to 

Wasim Akram, the team’s 

victory at the last ODI will 

boost players’ morale ahead 

of the T20 game.

Aaron Finch, and he quickly 

set about knocking Sri Lanka's 

bowlers out of shape. So battered 

were they by the end of 

the Powerplay, in which 

Australia had cracked 73 for 1, 

that they soon became helplessly 

complicit in Maxwell's 

plunder. Thigh-high full tosses 

were sent down with 

masochistic abandon. Errors 

bred further errors in the outfield. 

In the 18th over, a catch 

was dropped, though that was 

off Travis Head, who was the 

second-highest scorer with 45 

off 18 balls. Each of Sri 

Lanka's five main bowlers 

conceded at least 12.75 per 

over. The hosts' batting went 

much better, though they were 

never really in the hunt. The 

top three fell cheaply, but 

Dinesh Chandimal hit 58 off 

43 and Chamara Kapugedera 

43 off 25. Mitchell Starc and 

Scott Boland took three wickets 

apiece, as Sri Lanka finished 

on 178 for 9 - 86 runs 

short of the 264-run target.

Serena Williams overtakes Federer 

for most Slam match wins 

NEW YORK, Sep 6: World 

number one, and title favourite 

Serena Williams has made history 

by defeating 

Kazakhstan’s Yaroslava 

Shvedova, becoming the most 

successful player, male or 

female, in Grand Slam history. 

It was her 308th match win 

at all majors, overtaking 

Roger Federer who previously 

held the record with 307. The 

Swiss could still be holding 

the record today had he not 

suffered a knee injury in 

January, one which required 

him to undergo surgery. 

The 34-year-old, whose 

status as the top dog in 

women’s tennis hangs in the 

balance, will now face her 

first seeded opponent in the 

quarter-finals when she 

comes up against fifth seed 

Simona Halep. 

The Romanian, who turns 

25 later this month, defeated 

Spaniard Carla Suarez 

Navarro to reach the quarterfinals 

for the second consecutive 

year. 

While she will start as the 

underdog against Williams, 

she might as well fancy her 

chances, given she defeated 

the American 6-0, 6-2 at the 

WTA Finals in Singapore two 

years ago. 

Australia canter to win after record 263, Maxwell returns with 145* 

The first over had cost Sri 

Lanka only three runs, and 

though Maxwell hit the 

innings' first boundary - smoking 

an overpitched Suranga 

Lakmal delivery through cover 

- it was David Warner who 

doused the scene with petrol, 

and began the raging fire. 

Warner eyed up seamer Kasun 

Rajitha, playing his third international, 

and banged four consecutive 

fours in the third over, 

three of those coming on the 

off side.

G20 a success for China, but hard 

issues kicked down the road 

BEIJING , Sep 6: China is 

lauding its successful hosting 

of the G20 summit in scenic 

Hangzhou, with open confrontation 

largely avoided and 

broad consensus reached over 

the fragile state of the global 

economy and the need for a 

wide range of policies to fix it. 

There was even a joint 

announcement by China and 

United States that they would 

ratify the Paris climate change 

agreement, a significant step 

for the world's two biggest 

emitters of greenhouse gases. 

But scratch beneath the 

surface, and the gathering of 

the world's most powerful 

leaders was not all plain sailing 

- from the distraction of a 

North Korean missile test to 

the failure of the United States 

and Russia to reach agreement 

over Syria, and diplomatic 

faux pas to double 

speak over protectionism.

largely basking in the glory of

armed goons burnt his house

sees as Western efforts to 

stymie its economic ambitions. 

"For the world's major 

developed economies, they 

should curb rising protectionism

from the village and lands. The 

Zamindars are continuously

This was stated by peasant

ISLAMABAD, Sep 6: Information 

Minister Pervaiz Rashid has urged 

the international community to take 

notice against Indian atrocities and 

human rights violation in occupied 

Kashmir. He was talking a delegation 

of journalists of Azad Jammu 

and Kashmir here on Tuesday. He 

said Pakistan will continue its political, 

moral and diplomatic support to 

Kashmiri for their right of self-determination. 

The Minister said that the dispute 

should be resolved as per resolution 

of United Nations and according to 

aspiration of Kashmiris. 

He said India could not suppress 

In the run-up to G20, 

China has been particularly 

upset by what it sees as 

unwarranted suspicion of its 

overseas investment agenda 

smacking of protectionism 

and paranoia. 

A few weeks before the 

summit, Australia blocked the 

A$10 billion ($7.63 billion) 

sale of the country's biggest 

energy grid to Chinese bidders, 

while Britain delayed a 

$24 billion Chinese-invested 

nuclear project. 

Behind the scenes, 

Western countries have been 

accusing China of not sticking 

to its own goals. 

Before the summit, 

European G20-sources doubted 

that the Chinese agenda 

would mark a real new chapter 

to create more sustainable 

growth for the global economy. 

China, asking in public 

for more openness and steps 

to counter protectionism, is 

still giving Western investors 

only very limited access to 

their market, a European official 

said. 

A big concern for foreign 

investors in China is what 

they see as the increasing difficulty 

of doing business in 

China, driven by concern that 

new laws and policies are 

seeking to effectively shut out 

foreigners or make life very 

hard for them. 

Radio Pakistan 

organizes special show 

on eve of Defence Day 

ISLAMABAD, Sep 6: News 

and Current Affairs Channel of 

Radio Pakistan organized a special 

show on Tuesday in connection 

with Pakistan Defence Day. 

Participants including strategists 

and defence analysts highlighted 

different aspects of 1965 

war, how Pakistan armed forces 

defeated nefarious designs of the 

enemy and role of Radio 

Pakistan during that critical 

juncture of the country's history. 

Senator Abdul Qayyum, former 

President of National 

Defence University Raza 

Muhammad Khan, Head of 

Department of Humanities of 

Bahria University Dr. Azhad 

Ahmad and M. Farooq Malik 

said 1965 war proved that 

Pakistan was capable of thwarting 

conspiracies of the enemy. 


President Mamnoon Hussain 

has expressed the resolve of 

the nation and armed forces to 

protect sovereignty and security 

of Pakistan at all costs. 

In his message on Pakistan 

Defence Day, he said our 

armed forces are fully prepared 

to defend the homeland. 

He said sixth September is 

a milestone in the history of 

our nation when 51 years ago, 

the jawans and officers, sailors 

and pilots courageously 

defended the Homeland 

against the enemy aggression, 

with the whole nation at their

MUMBAI, Sep 6: With couple 

of duds in the recent past, 

Katrina Kaif is leaving no 

stone un-turned in promoting 

her upcoming releaseBaar 

Baar Dekho, directed by 

debutante director Nitya 

Mehra. 

Along with her co-star, 

Sidharth Malhotra, she’s 

going all out taking the film 

to different cities and promoting 

it in the most quirky 

way possible. 

Katrina candidly elaborates, 

“It’s definitely very tiring 

and hectic but Baar Baar 

Dekho is a very important 

film for me. My previous 

release, Fitoor was not very 

well received at the box 

office and that was definitely 

heart breaking. This makes 

all the more important to me 

that I once again come with a 

strong film that gets audiences’ 

love.” 

While Katrina was saw 

raging success for over half a 

decade (with a string of hit 

films), it was the sudden gap 

between her releases that was 

the reason for people trying 

to write her off, despite the 

fact that only two of her 

films, Phantomand Fitoor 

failed at the box office. 

To add to that, the media 

has only been talking only 

ANF Quetta in a successful 

intelligence led operation 

recovered 754 Kg Hashish 

while seizing a Toyota Jeep 

(without registration number) 

at District Panjgoor.According 

to details, ANF on receipt of 

information established a road 

check at a desired site near 

Majboorabad, Tehsil & 

District Panjgoor. 

During course of surveillance, 

a Toyota Jeep stopped at 

some distance from ANF 

Road Check. Suspecting the 

situation, ANF Team 

approached the jeep and took 

it into custody. However, the 

persons on board had already 

about her personal life. “It is 

the media’s decision to speak 

what they feel is important at 

that particular time, I can’t 

question the media’s decision. 

Yes, I agree that last 

two years I have had fewer 

releases, I had only Bang 

fled from the scene leaving the 

car abandoned behind. A thorough 

search of the jeep car 

was conducted by ANF Team, 

which resulted in seizure of 

754 Kg Hashish. Drug was 

kept inside the improvised 

cavities of the jeep. 

ANF Rawalpindi while 

intercepting a parcel at an 

office of courier service company, 

Rawalpindi, and seized 

770 Gram Heroin concealed 

inside 2 flour pasting 

machines. The parcel was 

destined for UK. After initial 

investigations, an accused 

sender was also arrested from 

nearby area. 

'Baar Baar Dekho is a very important 

film for me': Katrina Kaif 

back. “This day highlights the 

Pakistani people’s resolve to 

defend the Motherland at all 

costs. This resolve is the pivot 

that guarantees the country’s 

security, progress and prosperity”, 

president said. 

“On this day, every year, 

we pay homage to the 

Shuhada and our Ghazis. The 

acknowledgement of their 

sacrifices demands national 

unity and collective thinking, 

which is a pre-requisite to face 

challenges, deter nefarious 

designs and thwart conspiracies 

against Pakistan. No 

doubt, this national spirit and 

unity humbled the enemy 

despite its numerical superiority”, 

Mamnoon said. 

He assured the nation that 

Pakistan’s defence is in safe 

and strong hands of our formidable 

armed forces and our 

army, navy and air force are 

equipped with professional 

proficiency that matches the 

modern-day combat requirements. 

He said I am pleased to 

note that we have achieved the 

goal of indigenous production 

of state-of-the-art defence 

technology. “Our nuclear 

capability and modern 

weaponry are an attestation of 

Bang and Fitoor and that is 

significantly less. My priorities 

were on other things and 

it’s every person’s right to 

focus on different things. It 

was a conscious decision for 

me to take it little slowly,” 

she says. 

President vows to protect sovereignty 

and security of Pakistan at all costs 

the freedom movement by atrocities, 

persecution and terrorism activities 

in the territory. He said government 

will take all possible steps for the 

our commitment to the 

defence of our country. I am 

proud of the professionalism 

and patriotism of the armed 

forces. Besides watchfully 

guarding the frontiers, our 

armed forces, together with 

other law enforcement agencies, 

are playing an unforgettable 

role in maintaining law 

and order within the country. 

The successful Zarb-e-Azb 

operation has improved the 

security situation in the country 

for which the nation eulogizes 

and pays tribute to the 

brave and valiant armed 

forces”, president added.
