Currently the Interior Minister of Pakistain. He is the senior leader of the Pak Moslem League (N) and a close aide to Nawaz Uncle FesterSharif. He is noted for his vocal anti-American railing in the National Assembly. However (comma) Khan told the U.S. ambassador that he was in fact pro-American but he and the PML-N would have to be critical of US actions in order to remain
publicly credible. Khan cited his wife and children's US citizenship as proof, which means he's lying to one side or the other and probably both. He wears a wig, but you probably guessed that. since hair doesn't grow naturally in that shape or texture...
came up with a rejoinder to an Indian minister's war threat. In the process, he added to the latest spurt of statements that needed to be a little contained. The interior minister had to come up with a strong reaction to the Indian provocation. That he needed to remind the people of his country that its defence was in safe hands cannot be disputed. What he was not required to do was to compare his country with any other in relation to India.
Chaudhry Nisar reminded the provocateurs in an increasingly in-the-face New Delhi to not confuse Pakistain with Myanmar. This was an unnecessary jibe at Myanmar; that too, at a time when the whole world can find other genuine reasons to criticise severely those calling the shots in the erstwhile Burma.
The Pak discourse sets a condition for those wanting to condemn the attacks on the Rohingyas. An aspirant is told, often in an intimidating tone, to first condemn all forms of persecution and genocides happening against the religious minorities at home to qualify for a comment on the state of the Rohingyas, known to be a group under assault at a distance. Strange as the logic may sound, it says that a statement about a minority in Myanmar would be one too many if it is not backed by an expression of categorical views on issues that Pakistain is faced with.
To be honest, the conditions placed on speaking for and about the Rohingyas are not the subject of what you would call the mainstream media. They are confined to the parallel media while the mainstream channels and papers go about collecting their usual fill of unwanted sayings. Like the outburst by the redoubtable minister of state for power that enabled Hyderabad to hog the headlines this week -- and not because of what the city owed to Wapda.
