Several PN,PAF and Coast guard personnel killed today in Balochistan attack.Will DJ ISPR accept their death openly?
That's not true at all. They read at least 1 book, all right. Just that 1 book. And all their knowledge comes from that 1 book.
Everything is presented there. What doesn't occur there occurs nowhere.
Correct me if I am wrong sir, but literacy as we know it in our country involves all of the following :
Being able to read a certain language
Being able to write a certain language
Being able to speak a certain language
In our flawed system there is an awful lot of focus on the first two, not enough focus on the third point. Public speaking is often overlooked/disregarded in our education system. Is that what you mean by "doesn't mean literacy" ? Do they, unlike us, focus on writing and speaking as opposed to reading ? You can say that maybe the pool of people surveyed weren't literate or well read, I will agree with that. Statistics is never perfect.
But then these reports show up every now and then.
Literacy rate in Pakistan slips by 2% | The Express Tribune
It is relatively easy to increase literacy in a country with less people than in a country with more people. That applies for states too, I mean look at us. No matter how you look at it, this just screams incompetence.
My point was only with respect to the article.... Not regarding overall situation.... and I said wrong interpretation of the article
I can agree with that. The problem with reporting statistics in a news format is no mater how you interpret it, it will be wrong somehow. And the title is a bit click baity.
That looks more and more like surgical strike from Afghanistan or Iran.

Is that first of a kind attack? Checking ID and killing people from bus has happened multiple times before in Blochistan but almost everytime non baloch were targets, however in this attack security personnel were the only target.
Looks tough for any rebel organization to pull this off as intelligence of movement of troops in passenger vehicle was required.
Either way we will soon hear about attack in Afghanistan to avenge this or Iranian guards getting killed. Also possible after getting their *censored* kicked again and again by India overtly, Pakistan will try similar tactics to complete some overt operation with full chest thumping to divert attention from miserable economic situation and reinstate image of Army being Messiah, terrorist attack on Indian forces is also a strong possibility.
Most likely they will be acting like a good boy and keep quiet .... They cannot afford to di anything especially when IA is in full alert a d there us no deescalation from.our end.....
Why would they create another problem for themselves....
Actually the byproducts of out stand off would be increased terror attacks..... The pressure on these terrorists are off as PA is focused on east border
You are thinking as a rational person, Pakistan is notorious for being highly irrational and downright suicidal. I remember ISI attacked Afghanistan diplomatic area near US embassy killing huge number of people right when Pakistan was trying to make peace with US and begging for aid, and they did it so openly that people don't have to work hard to establish responsibility, open intercepts were available. Some very short sighted people are there in decision making in Pakistan.
How Pakistani traders use California almonds to fund terrorists in India
Almonds produced in California in the United States have been regularly finding their way through LoC trade involving a large transport network

California almonds, known worldwide for their high nutritional value, are being used in cross-LoC trade as a mode to earn profits which are funnelled to terrorists and separatists in Jammu and Kashmir, officials said Friday.
India Thursday indefinitely suspended cross-LoC trade at two points along the Line of Control effective Friday, following reports that it was being "misused" by elements from across the border to smuggle weapons, narcotics and fake currency.
The almonds produced in California in the United States have been regularly finding their way through LoC trade involving a large transport network.
According to the modus operandi, Pakistani traders under-invoice products like California almonds. After receiving the consignment, traders on the Indian side sell California almonds at the prevailing market price and make extra and undue profit due to the under-invoicing, a security official said.
The extra money generated is handed over by the traders to terrorists, separatists or anti-national elements in the Kashmir valley to fuel anti-India activities, the official said.
It has also come to the notice of security agencies that a significant number of trading concerns engaged in cross-LoC trade are being operated by persons closely associated with banned terrorist organisations, specially Hizbul Mujahideen.
Some Indian nationals who have crossed over to Pakistan and joined militant organisations have opened trading firms in the neighbouring country.
As a result, many Pak-based trading firms under the control of militant organisations are trading with firms operated by their relatives in the Indian side.
The cross-LoC trade is also being used as a regular channel for funneling drugs such as cocaine, brown sugar and heroine into the Kashmir valley, adversely impacting the youth and converting many into addicts, the official said.
In a recent example, 66.5 kg heroine was seized from a valley-based consignee and it was found that the drugs came through the cross-LoC trade.
The trade is being exploited for periodically smuggling arms and ammunition into the valley. Numerous seizures have been made of pistols, grenades, spares and ammunition.
Recently, a large cache that was concealed in a consignment of bananas was seized from the driver of a cross-LoC vehicle from Kulgam, another official said.
Trade across Chakan-Da-Bagh and Salamabad was intended as a confidence building measure for the population living in remote areas of Jammu and Kashmir and living across the LoC in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
However, third parties manipulated and misused it for trading goods being produced from outside Jammu and Kashmir.
Businessman Zahoo Ahmed Watali, who is currently in jail in terror funding cases, was the president of LoC traders association and he was allegedly found to be funneling money to terrorists, separatists and subversive elements in the valley.
The Enforcement Directorate has already attached his property worth crores of rupees and further investigations are still on.
The National Investigation Agency has decoded the modus operandi of dubious hawala transactions for terror financing.
The inimical elements on Pakistan side identify a suitable Pakistani trader firm and hand over the money that is to be transferred to the anti-national elements and terrorists organisations on the Indian side.
Consignments of fake Indian currency notes have also been seized in the range of Rs 57 lakh, Rs 20 lakh, Rs 15 lakh and Rs 7.5 lakh and over a dozen of people arrested.
"In the light of such large-scale misuse and loopholes being exploited for illegal and anti-national activities, Government of India has been compelled to suspend the LoC trade from Friday," the official said.
The government will revisit the issue of resuming the LoC trade after stricter measures and systems are put in place to address these issues.
New measures are expected to restore the benefit of the cross-LoC trade to local population only, rather than allowing terrorist organisations and unscrupulous traders based far from these trading points to siphon off the benefits and fuel instability in the valley, the official said.

1 day of Pakistan military budget = 1 year of education budget.
Read just today somewhere..
Check the Pakistani economy thread you will have the source of the article
They don't really need a coup. The PA/ISI has anyway been in control all along. This is simply course correction, telling Dimran where he stands, and what can happen. The deep state still needs him for now, (after all the jaahil awam still believes that economy be damned, PM to handsome hai!!).
Btw, would it be too presumptuous to believe that the so-called BRAS claim of executing 14 Baki armed forces officials could actually be a false flag orchestrated by ISI??
