The provincial officials could have put down the ‘rebellion’ with the usual iron hand but for the fear of ‘copy cat revolts’ across South China, which is home to the country’s industrial base. http://policyresearchgroup.com/india/sr_talks_scaled_much_heights_made_much_progress.html India Thu, 19 Jan 2012 22:05:00 -0500 The Delhi talks between India’s National Security Advisor Shiv Shankar Menon and China’s State Councillor Dai Binggou were carefully calibrated. Both sides took some special steps to build up the right atmosphere for the talks. http://policyresearchgroup.com/paki_urdu_media/pak_urdu_media_digest_-jan_18_2012.html Pakistan Urdu Media Wed, 18 Jan 2012 20:20:00 -0500 Musharraf and Zardari have entered into a mutual survival pact, says a Daily Pak columnist. The former president will not be arrested on arrival in the 'mohjir' capital, Karachi and in return he will put in a good word to his friends at the GHQ to spare Zardari. Since he is not coming home as announced, Zardari's assurance of no arrest makes no sense, strictly speaking. The pact is any how belong to the realm of possible in Pakistan and it reinforces the importance of 'fauji' with or without uniform. http://policyresearchgroup.com/paki_urdu_media/pak_urdu_media_digest_-jan_17_2012.html Pakistan Urdu Media Tue, 17 Jan 2012 23:15:00 -0500 American troops on duty in Afghanistan are running short of their essentials with the NATO supply blockade Pakistan has enforced; this development is seen as a success of Pakistan's new assertive policy vis-a-vis the US, say most dailies. Islamabad also has begun to bet on improving ties with Moscow to cover its flanks for the post-US withdrawal phase. Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar is slated to visit Russian capital soon http://policyresearchgroup.com/paki_urdu_media/pak_urdu_media_digest_-jan_16_2012.html Pakistan Urdu Media Wed, 18 Jan 2012 08:11:00 -0500 The stand off between the Govt and Judiciary-Army remains the focus of all papers. And most dailies see softening of stand by both sides with army chief Kayani attending a meeting chaired by the Prime Minister. The report in America’s Foreign Policy magazine that Mossad appointed Jundallah members as CIA agents also received wide attention. But the report has been brushed aside as a conspiracy to instigate Pakistan and Iran against each other http://policyresearchgroup.com/paki_urdu_media/pak_urdu_media_digest_-jan_12_2012.html Pakistan Urdu Media Thu, 12 Jan 2012 21:50:00 -0500 Various reports indicate that political and religious parties are preparing the ground for fresh elections and many reports say that dismissing the Defence Secretary has triggered a direct clash with the Army. http://policyresearchgroup.com/paki_urdu_media/pak_urdu_media_digest_-jan_11_2012.html Pakistan Urdu Media Wed, 11 Jan 2012 21:40:00 -0500 Former President Musharraf, who is making a determined bid to return home, is facing flak for his advocacy of Pakistan's ties with Israel. While he may have hoped to find favour with the US with his pro-Israel tilt, it appears to have sealed his chances of political survival back home. There are no cases of missing persons in Sindh, according to a report. This believe it or not category news is based on the fact that Sindh, unlike Balochistan and NWFP, registered no with Pakistan Parliament's standing committee on human rights. (Today's dispatch includes Jan 10 also) http://policyresearchgroup.com/paki_urdu_media/pak_urdu_media_digest_jan_9_2012.html Pakistan Urdu Media Mon, 09 Jan 2012 22:45:00 -0500 Former President Pervez Musharraf is of late the most preferred object for public bashing. The Gilani government has threatened to arrest him the moment he lands in the country. Baloch nationalists have put a tantalizing price on his head. The media is coming up with tales that show Musharraf is no better than the average corrupt politician. And the religious parties have gone into an overdrive against Musharraf objecting to his call for friendship with Israel. The law and order situation in Gilgit-Baltistan has worsened; sectarian violence is on the rise. http://policyresearchgroup.com/paki_urdu_media/pak_urdu_media_digest_-jan_6_2012.html Pakistan Urdu Media Fri, 06 Jan 2012 19:35:00 -0500 Notwithstanding the public posturing, civilian and military leadership has opened back channel contacts to break the Memogate impasse. While the Chaudhary brothers are roped in by the PPP seniors to bring in the Saudis for mediation, the US is re-working on its CIA-ISI contacts. http://policyresearchgroup.com/paki_urdu_media/pak_urdu_media_digest_-jan_5_2012.html Pakistan Urdu Media Wed, 18 Jan 2012 07:25:00 -0500 Jinnah and Ummat have diametrically opposite reports on the current stand off between the govt and the army. Since the reports are attributed to sources, the leaking roofs in GHQ and civil secretariat can be said to be active. While the PM’s side has made the meeting between Kayani and Gilani appear as a major development of consequence, the army sources based report simply dismissed the meeting as of no significance. This shows that the likelihood of the crisis blowing over are slim at least as of now.. Policy Research Group - Strategic Insight
