In a political cartoon circulating in social media, Imran Khan, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, is being asked to read the last line by President of China.
Interesting to know that the premier of Pakistan can talk at length on persecution of Muslims worldwide, but had never discussed the situation of Uyghur Muslims in China.

>>>>Dear Mr/Pastor Thomas Mathai: Replying to your email/below.
Decades back, we asked ALL your 5 Mr.POPES(smart BUSINESS-MEN), few, simple Questions, in SIMPLE ENGLISH:-
A) The “HOLY-INJEEL”(its ORIGINAL LANGUAGE: ARAMIAC) was REVEALED to OUR Holy-PROPHET ” Hazrat EISSAH-Alehas-SALAM….WHY the 5 Mr.POPES NOT TELLING TRUTH, & WHYThe 5 Mr.POPES CHANGED NAME of ALMIGHTY GOD’s PROPHET, & of THE HOLY BOOK Revealed, as Holy INJEEL, Revealed in ARAMIAC…?
B) CAN Any of the 5 MR.POPES, PROVE with EVIDENCE(NOT King-JAMES STORIES, written in-ENGLISH, ONLY FEW HUNDRED Years BACK, & written-PUBLISHED in ENGLAND), that Our HOLY PROPHET ” Hazrat EISSAH-Alehas-SALAM”, STATED ever, that HIS NAME is JESUS CHRIST…?…& That Our HOLY PROPHET STATED ever, that HOLY INJEEL’s Name should be CHANGED to an ENGLISH NAME “BIBLE”…?
2) The 5 Mr.POPES, can immediately Resolve this(above -A & B), by TRUTHFULLY-SHOWING to the WORLD, the ORIGINAL HOLY INJEEL(in its ORIGINAL Language “ARAMIAC”), which is Preserved/KEPT by ALL These FIVE(5) Mr.POPES.
These five(5) Mr.POPES(who for 2000 YEARS, been FIGHTING among-themselves, for POWER & MONEY), are:
1) COPTICS Mr.POPE, based in CAIRO/EGYPT
2) GREEK Mr.POPE, based in ATHENS/GREECE
3) RUSSIAN Orthodox MR.POPE, based in MOSCOW
4) ITALIAN Mr.POPE, based in VATICAN-ROME
5) EASTERN ORTHODOX Mr.POPE, based somewhere in SERBIA(Old YUGOSLAVIA).
PS: These 5 MR.POPES, ALWAYS DEMAND Their FOLLOWERS, to ACCEPT the MR.POPE’s ORDERS, as The Final-ORDER from ALMIGHTY-GOD….Ofcourse, ALL DICTATORS, HISTORICALLY, have DEMANDED the SAME…TODAY, CHINA’s DICTATOR Mr XI, is DOING the SAME….
Also, Chinese-COMMY-DICTATOR/MR Xi, COMMITTING GENOCIDE-HOLOCAUST, of 200-MILLION MUSLIMS inside CHINA…& HINDUTVA-DICTATOR MODI-Rss-Bjp, Committing GENOCIDE of 400-MILLION MUSLIMS inside india…& Myanmar/Burma Dictator/MsAung-Su-Ki(she Supported/protected GENERALS) did MUSLIMS Genocide..etc
Dear Mr. MATHAI, Come down to EARTH…JUST Show ABOVE to your CHURCH-BOSS(whoever has been MILKING $$ from YOU, for ages)….
ALMIGHTY GOD, Revealed the HOLY INJEEL(in ARAMIAC) & SENT HOLY PROPHET “EISSAH-ALEHAS-SALAM” for HUMANITY, BUT These 5 Mr.POPES, have MADE a LUCRATIVE BUSINESS, with SONGS/Dances/incense/Show-Biz-DRESSES/JINGLES/etc/etc, & ONLY for THEIR PERSONAL-Orgs/DICTATORSHIPS/ PROPERTIES/Benefits…
NOTE-1: Our Holy PROPHET “EISSAH-ALEHAS-SALAM”, WAS Brutally-TORTURED(By JEWS) & The HOLY PROPHET was Just about to DIE, when ALMIGHTY GOD SAVED The HOLY PROPHET’s LIFE, by LIFTING him to The HEAVENS….
WE(“UMMAA Broadcasting” US-Company) shall DEBATE LIVE, with ALL 5 MR.POPES, in Wash-DC Press-Club, to DISCUSS OUR Press-Release(This email). Ask 5 Mr.POPES, to AGREE, to DEBATE LIVE.
Note-2: ALL NON-MUSLIMS(& ALL their CORPORATIONS) world-wide(including YOURSELF), BEG & CRAWL, to get Business/$$, from MUSLIM-Majority COUNTRIES,. & BEG TO LIVE-WORK THERE.

Pakistan has become Loot Maristan and that is why nobody not even our elected representatives/members of National Assembly, Speaker (National Assembly), Chairman (Senate), Senators, Prime Minister, Ministers, Governors, Chief Ministers, provincial Ministers and President take oath on Holy Quran that they will uphold Truth nothing but the Truth and serve the country honestly and sincerely. The bureaucrats, government servants, Judges, Chief Justices, advocates, witnesses appearing before the courts and others never take oath on Holy Quran that they will uphold Truth and avoid lying, falsehood, false oaths, false promises, bluff, empty promises etc. Even majority of our Mullas who have adopted Islam as a money earning profession never uphold the Truth. They bluffed day and night about Islam and speak more on weak and fabricated Hadiths, tales, stories, sayings, traditions, conflicting Arabic history after the demise of our Prophet and even promise Jannah to their Masjid donors. The Mullas never speak on all Quranic Mohkmaath to keep us religiously backward. They follow a divide and rule policy and building of illegal Masajid and Madressahs every where particularly in open plots/lots, parks, play grounds etc. To keep us religiously backward, they wrongly term Allah as Arabic knowing only and hence we are asked to learn Arabic language with correct pronouncing or otherwise to simply read, recite and do memorization/Hifz of Holy Quran without understanding to protect it from manipulations no where suported in the Holy Quran.
HENCE FOLLOW ALLAH AND HIS HOLY QURAN THROUGH READING OF ITS TRANSLATION AND NOT THE EXPLOITING MULLAS WHO HAVE HIJACKED ISLAM. THANKS.

The BBC Urdu service’s Masud Alam looks at the various ways in which the authorities seek to control Pakistan’s independent media. He starts off by describing an unusual encounter at a news conference.He is tall and rugged. His hair is close-cropped and he’s wearing a white salwar kameez and leather sandals. He has a notebook and a pen in hand and he’s busy, like other journalists present at the news conference, taking notes.
Only, he is not a journalist.
“He’s the secret wallah,” the reporter sitting next to me tells me with a half smile. He can’t believe that I do not know this character. Every journalist in Islamabad recognises the men from intelligence agencies who routinely attend all news conferences and other media gatherings.
I walk up to him after the event.
“Which paper are you with?”
He pretends not to have listened. Some of the reporters around us have heard me, though, and they are now watching us with interest.
“Excuse me,” I persist, “I’m so and so. And you are?”
“I am not a journalist,” he says with a straight face, but he’s getting unsettled by the attention he’s getting from journalists around us who seem to be enjoying this exchange immensely.
“Then what brings you to this news conference?” I ask in a friendly manner.
“I work for Special Branch,” comes a clipped and final reply. He’s visibly annoyed by now and turns his face away to signal an end to our conversation.
Controlling the media
Special Branch is the intelligence gathering unit of police. There are dozens of other civilian and military intelligence agencies operating alongside, and when required, working “on” journalists on a day-to-day basis.
Pakistani journalists are quite used to the presence of these agents among their ranks. They also seem to accept, without resentment, the existence of so-called reporters among them, who are known to get their stories and their salaries from intelligence agencies.
The Fourth Estate in Pakistan is deeply penetrated by the Fifth Column.
These spies and fake journalists are however only the foot soldiers. The government of Pakistan has at its disposal much more potent means of controlling the media:
If the above measures fail to impress a professional journalist, the state may fail to protect him or her against harassment, kidnapping, torture and murder.
Indeed several of these disappearances and even some murders are blamed on state intelligence agencies but the claim is difficult to prove in any court of law as all the organs of the state are averse to releasing information that may implicate intelligence agencies in a crime.
‘Timid journalists’
Successive civilian and military governments have used and abused these powers with equal relish. Only, the intelligence agencies act more ruthlessly during military regimes.
In the country’s tribal region alone, “six journalists have been killed since the beginning of 2000. Eleven journalists have been killed in all of Pakistan since that time,” says the independent New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists.
“Other than in the 2002 death of Daniel Pearl, the US reporter for The Wall Street Journal, none of the cases has been fully investigated, and no one has been charged with a crime.”
Living in these circumstances, journalists are expected to be timid, over-cautious and unprofessional in their approach to newsgathering. Many Pakistani journalists are just that.
But much to the annoyance of the state, there’s still a healthy and thriving segment of the media that is not just good, it’s the best in the region.
And this comes from a man who is amply qualified and neutral enough to comment on the subject: the editor of Himal, a Nepal-based South Asian news and current affairs magazine.
In a presentation in Toronto many years ago, Kanak Mani Dixit dwelled on the strengths and weaknesses of the media (the only independent medium at that time was print) in South Asia, with a particular emphasis on India and Pakistan.
He was of the view that the vernacular papers in both countries are substandard in content and design, but English-language publications maintain a reasonably high standard of professionalism.
And whereas India’s brand of journalism is by and large cautious and almost respectful of the authority and image of the state, its Pakistani counterpart is bold and vociferous to the point of defying authority, Dixit said.
The assessment is true to this day.
At a party recently I ran into the bureau chief of a French news group, based in Islamabad. “How come you didn’t make India your regional base, like the majority of news organisations including the BBC,” I asked her.
“What is there to do in India? Story after story on how the economy is booming and how Bollywood is taking over the world? I like it here. This is a challenging and exciting environment, both for foreign and indigenous journalists,” she said.
Challenging this environment definitely is.
So much so that the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) called for journalists’ organisations from around the world to join in an international day of action earlier this month, to protest at the grave situation threatening the safety of journalists and freedom of expression in Pakistan.
‘Offensive claim’
The latest challenge to freedom of expression is a presidential decree imposing restrictions on the coverage of the suspended chief justice of Pakistan’s travels to address lawyers. These trips have gradually turned into public rallies in support of the rule of law and democracy, and by default, against the rule of Gen Musharraf.
The government did announce that it was reversing the latest curbs after journalists’ protests, but it hasn’t done it so far.
It is the same government that never tires of telling Pakistanis and the world that it has given the media unprecedented freedom.
The claim, many in the media say, is childish, if not outright offensive to the professional journalists who have wrested whatever freedom they enjoy today, from successive autocratic rulers, over several decades.
The one thing this government has encouraged is the proliferation of media. That has meant more of its agents into the mainstream. But there’s nothing that the media is free to do now that it wasn’t allowed 10 years ago.
Pakistani media have always thrived on the professionalism and dedication of a few journalists, rather than the patronage of state or largesse of media owners.
And this is how it will continue to be.

In a recent hindutva conservative thrashing, the bollywood legend Amitabh Bachan was criticized for meeting a Pakistan born British businessman, Anil Mussarat and his family. An RSS activist blamed without any evidence that Mussrat brothers have close connection with Pak Army, ISI or Prime Minister Imran Khan. Musarrat, on the other hand has connections and family relations with several bollywood stars for many decades.
It is important to see that the conservative hindutva RSS terrorists have no tolerance for any hindu meeting with any person with a Muslim name, even in 21st century, despite being involved in genocide of millions of Muslims in the Hindutva Republic in 8 decades.
Earlier, Imran Khan, Prime Minister of Pakistan exposed hindutva in the pre-recorded speech for General Debate, 75th Session at United Nations.
The driving force in international relations must be cooperation, in accordance with the principles of international law, and not confrontation, the Prime Minister of Pakistan told world leaders gathered virtually at the UN General Assembly.
In a pre-recorded video address to the Assembly’s annual high-level debate, Prime Minister Imran Khan, highlighted the importance of the 75th anniversary of the United Nations.
“This is also a time for us to reflect whether as the United Nations, we have been able to realize the promise we made collectively to our peoples,” he said.
Amid multifaceted threats to the foundations of the world order, the only way forward is through cooperation and not confrontation, he said, reaffirming his support for multilateralism.
In his address, Prime Minister Khan informed the General Assembly of “smart lockdowns” employed by his country in its fight against COVID-19.
“We have not only managed to control the virus, stabilize our economy, but most importantly, we have been able to protect the poorest segment of our society from the worst fallouts of the lockdown,” he said, adding that in spite of the success, Pakistan is not out of the woods yet, like all other countries in the world.
He reminded the Assembly that with the “oneness” of humanity in an interconnected world, “no one is safe unless everyone is safe.”
Reiterating the threats posed by climate change, Prime Minister Khan called on world leaders to ensure that all commitments made in the Paris Agreement on Climate Change are fulfilled.
Pakistan’s contribution to carbon emissions is minimal, but it is one of the countries worst affected by the climate crisis, he said. As part of its efforts to mitigate the impact of climate change, his country will plant 10 billion trees over the next three years.
The Prime Minister voiced deep concern over rising religious hatred, increased nationalism and worsening global tensions, factors that have accentuated ‘Islamophobia’, resulting in attacks against Muslims in many countries.
He stressed that “wilful provocations” and “incitements to hate” must be universally outlawed, calling on the General Assembly to declare an “International Day to Combat Islamophobia.”
Prime Minister Khan accused India of State-sponsored Islamophobia, alleging that mosques have been destroyed, and at that Muslims have been killed and are at risk of losing their nationality due to discriminatory laws.
“Muslims were falsely blamed, vilified and victimized for spreading the coronavirus. They were denied medical attention and on many occasions, their businesses boycotted,” he said, noting that other religions are also at risk of being marginalized in India.
Prime Minister Khan also underlined that for durable peace in the South Asian region, the Jammu and Kashmir dispute needs to be resolved, on the basis of international legitimacy.
“The Security Council must prevent a disastrous conflict and secure the implementation of its own resolutions as it did in the case of East Timor,” he said, calling on the body to take “appropriate enforcement actions.”
He also noted the Intra-Afghan negotiations, that commenced earlier this month, and said that early return of Afghan refugees, sheltering in Pakistan, must be part of the political solution.
Wrapping up his address, Prime Minister Khan called on the UN Secretary-General to take the lead in preventing global conflicts. To that end, he urged the convening summit-level meetings to address regional hot-spots and resolve outstanding disputes.
