[Pak Daily Times]  The Punjab and Balochistan...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... assemblies on Monday passed resolutions, condemning the NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis.... attack on Salala border post in Mohmand ... Named for the Mohmand clan of the Sarban Pahstuns, a truculent, quarrelsome lot. In Pakistain, the Mohmands infest their eponymous Agency, metastasizing as far as the plains of Beautiful Downtown Peshawar, Charsadda, and Mardan. Mohmands are also scattered throughout Pakistan in urban areas including Karachi, Lahore, and Quetta. In Afghanistan they are mainly found in Nangarhar and Kunar... Agency in which 24 officers and soldiers were martyred. The treasury and opposition benches in the Punjab Assembly, showing solidarity with the Pakistain Army and backing the PPP government decisions in the war on terror, unanimously passed the resolution on Monday. Through the resolution, the House expressed its annoyance and protested against the NATO forces attack against its ally that had already given tremendous sacrifices in the war on terror. The resolution said that the NATO attack was unprovoked and directly against the illusory sovereignty and independence of Pakistain. The resolution said that the House presented a high tribute to the Pakistain Army, its officers and soldiers who had sacrificed their lives for the country. The resolution also supported decisions of the federal government, including stoppage of NATO supplies, vacation of Shamsi airbase by the US Army and boycott of the Bonn Conference. The resolution also showed complete solidarity with the Pakistain Army Posted by: Fred 2011-12-13 |
