Pakistan may be 'one of the most dangerous countries in the world': Joe Biden

 Pakistan may be 'one of the most dangerous countries in the world': Joe Biden

US President Joe Biden has said that he thinks Pakistan is probably 'one of the most dangerous countries in the world' with 'unregulated nuclear weapons'. He made this comment about Pakistan during his speech at the reception of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. The event was held on Thursday.

His speech on this occasion has been published on the White House website. In which it is written with reference to Biden that "... And to me probably one of the most dangerous countries in the world, Pakistan. The nuclear weapons it has are unorganized. These remarks of the American President were given in the context of the changing global political scenario. He said that the political scenario of the world is changing rapidly and many countries are reviewing their alliances.The BBC has contacted Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a response, but no response has been received so far. However, some time ago, Pakistan's Federal Minister of Energy, Khurram Dastgir, while answering a question during a press conference, said that the doubts and suspicions mentioned by the American president about Pakistan are completely baseless. Pakistan's nuclear command and control system is absolutely secure.

General Bajwa visit to America: Farewell visit or attempt to improve relations?

Image
  Pakistan Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa is returning home today after a five-day visit to America. During the visit, the Army Chief also had an informal talk with the participants during a lunch at the Pakistan Embassy in Washington DC on Wednesday. According to a news shared by the Public Relations Department of the Pakistan Army, the Army Chief said that he will retire on completion of his tenure in November. Defense Minister Khawaja Asif, while answering a question regarding the appointment of the Army Chief during a press conference, said that no decision has been taken yet. Five officers are named but there are also instances where none of the five names are mentioned. My own impression is that all three-star generals are eligible for this appointment. Some observers are calling this visit of the Army Chief as his farewell visit, while others think that it will be too early to say anything about it. The Army Chief's visit is also being discussed on social media. The ...

عاصمہ شیرازی کا کالم: سیاسی اُترن کا لنڈا بازار

مو سم بدل رہا ہے اور ہر بدلتے موسم کی خنکی یا گرمی لہجوں میں بھی اُتر آتی ہے۔ ٹھنڈے دن گرم لحاف میں لپٹ رہے ہیں مگر نہیں بدلا تو ہماری سیاست کا مزاج۔ سیاسی لنڈا بازار سج گیا ہے، سیاسی بیرونی اُترن پہننے کے دن مگر جاتے دکھائی دے رہے ہیں۔ مارکیٹ میں لنڈے کے روشن خیال، لنڈے کے مفکر، لنڈے کے پروفیسروں جیسی اصطلاحات تو سُنتے آئے ہیں م اب اس میں لنڈے کے اسٹیبلشمنٹ مخالف بھی شامل ہو چُکے ہیں۔ صورتحال یوں ہے کہ کل تک جو طاقت کے مراکز کو اپنی طاقت کا ذریعہ سمجھتے تھے آج جب وہ طاقت دستیاب نہیں تو اسٹیبلشمنٹ مخالف بیانیہ بیچ رہے ہیں اور جو کل تک پھپھے کُٹنیوں کی طرح ایک صفحے کے طعنے دے رہے تھے آج اُس صفحے کی تحریر بننے کی کوششوں میں  کل تک جو پنڈی سے آنے والی ہواؤں کے چھو جانے پر مُسرت کا اظہار کرتے تھے آج ہواؤں کا رُخ بدل جانے پر پنڈی میں لُو برسنے کی بددعائیں دے رہے ہیں، کبھی مجھے کیوں نکالا تھا اور کبھی مجھے ہی کیوں نکلوایا کا شکوہ سنائی دے رہا ہے ہ گِلے بھی اپنی جگہ کہ ’مجھے جتنا ذلیل کیا کسی وزیراعظم کو ایسا نہیں کیا گیا‘ یعنی مجھے ہی کیوں اتنا ذلیل کیا گیا، کی پولی پولی ناراضگی۔۔ کچھ ’ن...

Russia-Ukraine conflict: What is Russian President Vladimir Putin planning?

Image
  President Putin appears determined to move forward despite recent military setbacks in Ukraine That's the question we've been asking for months, even long before Russia invaded Ukraine.What is Vladimir Putin's thinking and planning?Let me clarify in advance that I do not have a Kremlin crystal ball. Nor do I have Putin on the phone live. Former US President George W. Bush once said that when he looked into Vladimir Putin's eyes, he understood his nature. Although getting into the mind of a Kremlin leader is a very difficult task, it is worth trying. Perhaps more so now than ever in light of Moscow's recent nuclear weapons frenzy.There is no doubt that the Russian president is under pressure. His so-called 'special military operation' in Ukraine has failed miserably for him. It was supposed to last for a few days but it has been almost eight months and there is no end in sight. The Kremlin acknowledged "significant" military losses. In recent w...
