HORNY NAWAZ SHARIF TRIES TO SEDUCE BRITISH JOURNALIST KIM BARKER

Nawaz “Horny” Sharif has a rule, to be a PML(N) Jiyali, a female has to smile when Nawaz makes a pass at them. Unfortunately for Nawaz, British journalist Kim Barker got her signal mixed and almost smacked Nawaz across his face. Her she tells the story, about the “future” leader of Pakistan. Shame on you, Nawaz sharif, have you not heard of sexual harassment being against the law in Pakistan.

Foreign female journalists face challenges most often in parts of the world where protections for women are weak even in peacetime — in societies where men and women lead highly segregated lives and often don’t have sex before marriage. In these countries, men often say they view Western women as the sexual equivalent of junk food: fast and cheap.

Even highly placed sources can behave inappropriately. Kim Barker, who was the South Asia bureau chief with the Chicago Tribune from 2004 to 2008, was offered an iPhone by former Pakistani prime minister Nawaz Sharif. But that phone would not really have been free: His pickup line was, “I’m fat and old. But I would still like to be your friend,” she writes in her book, “The Taliban Shuffle.”

 These headlines published in the Nawa-i-Waqt summarize the war that was fought in 1999 for two motnhs at the height of 18000 feet. This is clear that Pakistan army has won that war tactically, strategically and professionally. This is also evident from the statements of Indian civil and military leadership expressing hopelessness. Not only this in spite of utilizing its full aerial and territorial power India failed to capture peaks of Kargil. In this small scale war not only India has to bear great casualities but in spite of having ten times bigger army and latest weapons she had to lick the dust but in such sensitive and grave situation Indian media stood side by side with Indian army and this was the Indian media that propagated India as oppressed. Alas! Pakistan lost that war due to American interests attached with India. As Pakistani military leadership ignored Indian reaction over Kargil operation in the same manners Pakistan’s political leadership did an unforgiveable mistake by accepting USA as a arbitrator and failed to understand American interests in India. In the other words USA got victory in Kargil and this was openly expressed by Bill Clinton in his address to Indian in March 2000, “This was not India that has recaptured Kargil but USinterference that forced Pakistan to withdraw from Kargil…”

Nawaz Sharif-The Horny Duffer of Gowalmandi

This man would be PM a third time ? Have we learnt nothing ?

Someone asked for the relevant bit to be highlighted. Just read the bit below……..

He ignored me. “I have bought you an iPhone,” he said.

“I can’t take it.”

“Why not? It is a gift.”

“No. It’s completely unethical, you’re a source.”

“But we are friends, right?” I had forgotten how Sharif twisted the word
“friend.”

“Sure, we’re friendly, but you’re still the former prime minister of

Pakistan and I can’t take an iPhone from you,” I said.
“But we are friends,” he countered. “I don’t accept that. I told you I was
buying you an iPhone.”

“I told you I couldn’t take it. And we’re not those kind of friends.”

He tried a new tactic. “Oh, I see. Your translator is here, and you do not
want him to see me give you an iPhone. That could be embarrassing for you.”

Exasperated, I agreed. “That’s it.”

He then offered to meet me the next day, at a friend’s apartment in Lahore, to give me the iPhone and have tea. No, I said. I was going to Faridkot. Sharif finally came to the point. “Kim. I am sorry I was not able to find you a friend. I tried, but I failed.” He shook his head, looked genuinely sad about the failure of the project.
“That’s OK,” I said. “Really. I don’t really want a friend right now. I am
perfectly happy without a friend. I want to be friendless.”

He paused. And then, finally, the tiger of Punjab pounced. “I would like to be your friend.”I didn’t even let him get the words out. “No. Absolutely not. Not going to happen.”

“Hear me out.” He held his hand toward me to silence my negations as he made his pitch. He could have said anything—that he was a purported billionaire who had built my favorite road in Pakistan, that he could buy me a power plant or build me a nuclear weapon. But he opted for honesty.

“I know, I’m not as tall as you’d like,” Sharif explained. “I’m not as fit
as you’d like. I’m fat, and I’m old. But I would still like to be your
friend.”

“No,” I said. “No way.”

He then offered me a job running his hospital, a job I was eminently
unqualified to perform. “It’s a huge hospital,” he said. “You’d be very good at it.” He said he would only become PM again if I were his secretary. I thought about it for a few seconds—after all, I would probably soon be out of a job. But no. The new position’s various positions would not be worth it.

Eventually, I got out of the tiger’s grip, but only by promising that I would consider his offer. Otherwise, he wouldn’t let me leave. I jumped into the car, pulled out my tape recorder, and recited our conversation. Samad shook his head. My translator put his head in his hands. “I’m embarrassed for my country,” he said.

After that, I knew I could never see Sharif again. I was not happy about this—I liked Sharif. In the back of my mind, maybe I had hoped he would come through with a possible friend, or that we could have kept up our banter, without an iPhone lurking in the closet. But now I saw him as just another sad case, a recycled has-been who squandered his country’s adulation and hope, who thought hitting on a foreign journalist was a smart move. Which it clearly wasn’t.”

Nawaz Sharif becoming a CIA agent: PPP

Posted by Brave_Heart in BUNGLER NAWAZ SHARIF, CIA AGENT NAWAZ SHARIF, GHADAAR, IMRAN KHAN-PAKISTAN'S HERO & DREAMER, LIAR POLITICIANS, Morosi Siyasat & Political Crooks, Nawaz "Badami Lassi Kim Barker Thurke" Sharif, Nawaz Dangerous, NAWAZ SHARIF, Nawaz Sharif & Kashmiri Biradari, Nawaz Sharif Dangerous Man, Nawaz Sharif Massive Corruption, Nawaz Sharif US Agent, Nawaz Sharif Womanizer, Nawaz US Agent on May 7th, 2013

Nawaz becoming a CIA agent: PPP
 

images-33STAFF REPORTER LAHORE – The PPPs Parliamentary Leader in Punjab Assembly, Zulfiqar Gondal Friday alleged that PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif was going to become an agent of CIA and RAW, ending his years-long association with the ISI. Addressing a news conference at Lahore Press Club, he said that Nawaz had turned against ISI on behest of India which wanted to malign Pakistans spy agency. When Nawaz Sharif was himself in power, he never talked of bringing defence budget into the Parliament, but now he is making such a demand because he has taken an anti-army stance, Gondal observed. Referring to latest WikiLeaks about Shahbaz Sharifs alleged meeting with former US diplomat Bryan D Hunt on March 14, 2009, he said that Shahbaz had told Mr Hunt that his party wanted restoration of Iftikhar Muhammad Ch and other deposed judges only because it had taken a stance over the issue and they will have no objection if he (Iftikhar Ch) was removed later on by any means after his restoration. He said another party leader, Khawaja Saad Rafique had also expressed similar views in his meeting with the said US diplomat according to the WikiLeaks. Gondal said that PPP leadership had then told Nawaz to wait for two months as Iftikhar Ch will be restored after retirement of Justice Dogar. He said Nawaz Sharifs demand for restoration of judiciary was also against Charter of Democracy (CoD) as the two parties were in agreement not to appoint any PCO judge in future. Meanwhile, Sunni Tehreek has threatened to launch movement if the government failed to control the menace of load shedding, price hike, unemployment and terrorism in the country. Addressing a protest demonstration outside Lahore Press Club on Friday, Mujahid Abdul Rasool said incapable rulers were forcing the people to take a direct decision against the government as the party which came to power with the slogans of Roti, Kapra Aur Makan has completely ignored public problems.

Posted by razahamad in " RIAZ THE SHAITAN OF PAKISTAN, Nawaz Sharif Dangerous Man, Nawaz US Agent on May 6th, 2013

Has Nawaz Sharif in Lust for Power Gone Mad? Does Foreign Agent Nawaz Sharif Pose a Danger to Pakistan’s Security & Strategic Programs?

 

 

A recent interview of General Parvez Musharraf with Geo program has revealed some lucidity among Pakistani politicians and ex-spies toward Afghanistan and the war. Two of his closed soldiers Mehmood and Usmani who wanted to be vice-chief of the army and refused the loyalty they demanded by left the army.  Musharraf described General Hamid, the retired ISI chief a very ambitious person and was very close to pro-religious forces of Pakistan. Musharraf divulged Hamid Gul greed of power when he wanted Musharraf to stay behind him as chief of army and let him rule Pakistan.

He called Nawaz Sahrif, Muslim League-N,  very dangerous man for Pakistan. When asked regarding WikiLeaks revelation of Nawaz Sharif and Asif Ali Zardari, “dirty” he refused to comment on Zardari, but called Nawaz Sharif a “closet Taliban” and a “threat to the country.”

Will probe ISI’s role in 26/11 attacks if return to power: Nawaz Sharif
 
May 06, 2013
 
Islamabad: Emphasising on the need to begin from “where we left in 1999”, ex-Pakistani premier Nawaz Sharif on Monday promised never to allow the country’s soil for anti-India activities and said he will expedite the 26/11 trial here and probe ISI’s role in the Mumbai terror attacks if he returns to power. He stressed on the importance of resolving the Kashmir issue peacefully and suggested that back channel negotiations should be reactivated besides making the 1999 Kargil operations an “open secret”. 
 
“We have to start from where we were interrupted in 1999. Vajpayee saab came across, we signed that historic Lahore accord. He had said very good things about Pakistan which are still fresh in my memory. I also reciprocated. I think those times must come back again,” Sharif said in an interview to a news channel. He added that former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee had told him, ‘Nawaz saab why can’t we declare 1999 as the year of resolution of all problems between India and Pakistan’. 
 
“He has said very good thing. If we get a chance to rule this country, this will be our main priorities”, Sharif said. On cross-border terrorism, the PML-N chief, who is widely expected to form the next government here, said, “We don’t want our territory to be used for terrorist activities. These elements are deliberately spoiling the relationship”. Asked about Mumbai attack mastermind and JuD chief Hafiz Saeed, he said, “Many of these organisations have already been banned. If I become prime minister I will make sure that Pakistani soil is never used for any such design against India. We must not allow such speeches to be made against India by anybody including Hafeez Saab”. 
 
Replying to a query on terror convict David Headley’s statement implicating ISI in the Mumbai attacks, he said, “If he has given such a statement that needs to be verified first… But how far these statements are true, we have to see. I think such issues to be investigated carefully including what happened in Kargil”. Sharif said that the the entire Army of Pakistan was kept in dark about the Kargil operation. “No corps commander had any knowledge that this Kargil operation is going on. Even the Chiefs of the Armed forces complained about why they were not informed. I think the commission will have to bring out the full truth. This will be an open secret”. 
 
On Kashmir issue, he said it needs to be resolved peacefully to the satisfaction of not only both the countries but also to the satisfaction of the people of Kashmir. On “separate Kashmir”, Sharif said, “We have our stated positions since last 60-65 years. India says Kashmir is our ‘Atoot ang’. In 1999 the Lahore declaration was a different atmosphere. It said both the countries agree to solve the Kashmir issue by sitting across the table, peacefully. We need to begin from where we had left in 1999”. 
 
Asked what was message to India Sharif said, “I want to say to the people of India that we could be very good friends. My birthplace is in India, I’ve twice been there. A lot of emotional involvement. Once we hold our hands and throw out all enmity and hatred from our hearts and be determined to solve all our problems peacefully, this will change the fate of this sub-continent”. 
 
On reciprocating same relationship with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as he used to have with Vajpayee, Sharif said “Certainly it will be pleasure and personal privilege to visit India. It would certainly be a privilege to see Manmohan Singh visiting Pakistan. Pakistan is the place was he was born. So therefore we will be very happy to exchange these feelings”.

Sharif plans talks with Taliban and army to end Pakistan violence
 
By Victor Mallet and Farhan Bokhari in Lahore
 ©AP May 6, 2013 
 
Nawaz Sharif, the former Pakistani prime minister whose party is forecast to win the most seats in this week’s general election, has said he plans to open immediate talks with all sides, incluing the armed forces and Taliban militants, to end the country’s “gigantic” terrorism problem.
“If we win the elections we will call everybody, make them sit there and then of course will try to find an answer,” Mr Sharif said in an interview with the Financial Times at his family estate outside Lahore. “Guns and bullets are not always the answer.”
 
Politics in Pakistan have been marked by periodic violence, assassinations and military takeovers since partition from India in 1947. But recent bomb and gun attacks by Islamist extremists on religious minorities and secular politicians have caused so many deaths that the nation’s stability has been called into question by Pakistanis and foreigners alike. The Pakistani Taliban reject the constitution and have told people not to vote, calling democracy “un-Islamic” and the work of secular forces. Some parties have curtailed campaigning for fear of further violence.
 
“We have the problem of extremism, of terrorism in this country,” Mr Sharif said. “And that has taken 40,000 lives . . . We have problems in Karachi, we have problems in Baluchistan and, of course, the tribal areas.” Mr Sharif, 63, who has twice been prime minister and was last ousted in 1999 in a military coup led by Pervez Musharraf, said all relevant parties would be invited to join the talks to end terrorism. Asked if that included the Pakistani Taliban, which has been fighting the military in the tribal areas for several years, he said: “A few weeks ago, the Taliban offered dialogue to the government of Pakistan and said, ‘we are prepared to talk’. I think the government of Pakistan should have taken that seriously. [It] did not take it seriously.”
 
Such negotiations, Mr Sharif suggested, would be preceded by a discussion among democratic politicians as to how to engage the militants. “Let us first debate that among ourselves, let there be a brainstorming session as to what strategy we need for that and how we initiate these talks with the Taliban,” he said. However, a conciliatory approach – although apparently similar to the halting attempts being made to engage the Afghan Taliban over the border by the Kabul government and its US allies – might provoke a hostile reaction from some senior army officers.
 
“If he really pursues what he’s saying, he may run into difficulties in six months,” said Hasan Askari Rizvi, a political analyst and author of a book on the Pakistani armed forces, noting that more Pakistani troops had now died fighting terrorists than in the wars against India. “At the moment he’s seen as being soft on the Taliban and also soft on Punjab-based sectarian militant groups,” said Mr Rizvi. “He can’t talk to the Taliban while ignoring the military altogether.”
 
Despite Mr Sharif’s ousting in the 1999 coup, he insisted he bore no grudges against the military. “I don’t hold the military responsible for what happened to me, I don’t hold the military responsible for what happened to the country,” he said. “The takeover was the decision of one man [Mr Musharraf, and] a coterie of three other people. I don’t blame the military [as an institution] for that.” In the election on Saturday, opinion polls predict that Mr Sharif’s Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz will become the biggest party in parliament but will not be able to form a government without coalition partners.
 
The other big parties are the Pakistan People’s Party of Asif Ali Zardari, which recently stepped down after finishing its five-year term, and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (Movement for Justice) of Imran Khan, the former cricketer who is popular among young city-dwellers and is also seen as conciliatory towards the Taliban.
Mr Sharif said his other main priority if he won would be to solve the deep economic malaise, which includes severe shortages of electricity, sluggish growth, and the risk of a balance of payments crisis. “Pakistan is confronted with huge, huge problems,” he said.

Nawaz Sharif accuses PPP of using Imran Khan as proxy
 
May 6th, 2013 
 
Pakistan Muslim League-N Chief Nawaz Sharif Monday accused the PPP of using Imran as proxy in the electoral arena.
 
Addressing public gatherings in Kabirwala district Khanewal, Faisalabad and Sahiwal, the PML-N chief the PPP is nowhere to be seen in the electoral contest and assigned the task to Imran Khan to divide the anti-PPP votes. He said that the bullet train worth 10 billion dollars from Karachi to Peshawar will be started if voted to power. He also announced to lay a network of motorways from Faisalabad to Kabirwala and Multan. The PML-N Chief vowed that if voted to power his party will eliminate load-shedding and unemployment from the country.
 
He pledged to setup a new bank to grant credit for youth to help them launch their own businesses. Nawaz Sharif said he would change destiny of the nation through support of the masses. PML-N leader said he did not play cricket alone as he made the country a nuclear power and built motorways. Nawaz Sharif said if voted to power‚ his party will again take the country to new heights of development and prosperity. He said Pakistan will play a leading role in the region. He said his party will bring a revolution rather than a simple change in the country. He said his party along with youth will reconstruct the country, adding that the people would have to choose the path‚ which leads to peace and prosperity.
