The cockroaches are comparing themselves to Gandhi. Quite apart from the effrontery of the claim, they are also betraying their basic ignorance of ground realities. Gandhi was fighting - without permission - against a colonial, racist system; and he didn't fight for a piffling demand like the resignation of the Viceroy of the day. The cockroaches are fighting a democratically-elected national government, operating under the rule of law. It is open to them to go to the courts and get the permission they need, as has been done by other parties in states ruled by parties they oppose. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/… via @timesofindia

Good, hard-hitting reply; the reference to bin Laden would have found its mark. We could have added that the 9-11 mastermind, now doing time in the US, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, was also found in Karachi. So, too, was the murderer of Daniel Pearl, Omar Sheikh found in Karachi. These were all connected to (-11, whose 25th anniversary was being marked in New York. The Iranians, who are accused of being the No. 1 terrorist in the world, are babes in the woods compared to the Pakistanis - their Army is itself the real terrorist, the rest are merely its fronts.

Dignity?! From the army that committed genocide on what were its own people in 1971? No, you should give up this naive thinking, and draw inspiration from your Baluch sisters & brothers. No hope of dignified treatment from the failed marshal.
Azad Kashmir stands alone, but it stands strong. In five days, this movement marks 100 days. The Pakistani state should understand by now: it cannot be crushed. Negotiate with JAAC. Negotiate with dignity. You have tried force, silence and exhaustion. Try dignity.

They tried fighting it out on their own in 2015, then sought US protection, then turned to Pak last year, and then, this year to Pak and Turkey. All to no avail. They were once formidable fighters, now - not so much.

Finally! I've tricked my way to posting all four parts - my affectionate thanks to @HindolSengupta, @ShikhaaAggarwal, and @aniltrigunayat for their kind words; they know the high regard I hold them in.

Trump needs to read the story of the boy who cried wolf.
Trump calls off another Iran offensive, ‘the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to’ How many times will he go through this ridiculous charade? Doesn’t he realize that whenever the rulers of the Islamic Republic need to buy time to gather their strength, they tell Trump they’re ready to negotiate? Doesn’t anyone around him have the sense and honesty to explain to him that the Islamic Republic will never honor any negotiated agreement with the United States?
