Khurshid Kasuri’s stupid statements on media

Kasuri needs training on what to speak on Media…

Kasuri’s reaction on Mumbai blasts

THIS is with reference to Foreign Minister Khurshid Kasuri’s Washington statement, dated July 12. If Mumbai’s gruesome serial blasts offered any opportunity, it was to express one’s utter sense of horror and disgust over the dastardly acts of a handful of blood-thirsty maniacs, condole with the bereaved families, pray for the quick recovery of the wounded and the return of the disabled to normal life. It was hardly either proper or prudent to have viewed the tragic episode as a cause or consequence of the prevailing extremism and use it as a ploy to settle old scores.

Foreign Minister Kasuri, then on an official visit to Washington, saw and reacted to the gory affair differently. The ‘Mumbai incident, however tragic it may be, and it is undoubtedly very tragic’ he said, underlined the need for the two countries to work together to ‘control the environment’. That, to his mind, could be done ‘only’ if they resolved their disputes.

He went on to advise the two countries to take ‘advantage of this improved atmosphere and resolve outstanding disputes, particularly the core issue of Jammu and Kashmir.’

Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s statement made a piece of commendable moderation and maturity, although expert and public level reaction in New Delhi had been quite vehement and even potentially aggressive.

One noted Indian analyst C. Raja Mohan while talking to one of our private TV channels would not mince words about the ineptness of Mr Kasuri’s statement, its adverse impact on the on-going peace process and the progress of the composite dialogue. He felt sceptical about the third round of the composite dialogue at the level of the two foreign secretaries being held at all on schedule early in the third week of July. Besides provoking the Indian media, Mr Kasuri’s statement also brought forth a statement from India’s home secretary, V.K. Duggal. While reassuring that the peace process would continue, he urged Pakistan to cooperate with India against the ‘scourge of cross-border terrorism’ and take ‘urgent’ steps to dismantle the terrorist ‘infrastructure’ in Pakistan.

Time for Mr Kasuri to weigh the pros and cons of his seemingly off-the-cuff utterances and their impact on regional peace.

Re: Khurshid Kasuri’s stupid statements on media

John you should do some research and read news more often.Here is is what Kasuri said to CNN in the first interview.

Pakistani FM warns against 'knee-jerk' blame over blasts

WASHINGTON, July 13 (AFP) - Pakistan's Foreign Minister Khurshid Kasuri warned against "knee-jerk" reactions saddling his country with blame for bomb blasts which killed more than 200 people in Mumbai. In an interview with CNN broadcast Wednesday, Kasuri said India should be careful about ant attempt to attribute the attacks to so-called Pakistan-based militants. Kasuri repeated his firm condemnation of Tuesday's attacks, which he had already called ghastly" but went on to ask "why should there be finger pointing every time?" "India is a vast country, there are attacks in other parts of India, there should not be a knee-jerk reaction that everything happening in India starts in Pakistan.

.................................

Now now Kasri is not a very important person compread to PM Shakukut Aziz and President Musharraf.To pull the rug form under your feet Musharraf was the first person to condemn these attacks and offered help in probing this issue!Here where I live the newspaper mentioned his post before anyone. else's.What Kasuri said above is right, anyone in their right mind would think so.Solve the kashmir issue CORE ISSUE first the other issues will get reolved automatically afterwards, trust me.It is just India that is never serious to solve this issue and now they have bombed themself to prove pakistan is not serious in.LAst time I check it was mush who saked hands with Veggiepie and started "peace first".Then we gave you three option in the dilogus but you did not listen.What can we do now?

Indians only understand one language that is bullets no peace.That is why India has made not one but THREE enemies in the region China, Pak and Bangladesh.Now they have made another enemy called tamils in the east and Nepal is on their way as enemy of India.Man the brahmidians do not like to live in peace I say we shower them with enough nukes to genetically mutiliate three of their coming generations!

Re: Khurshid Kasuri’s stupid statements on media

India’s prime minister tukan-on-the-head singh is an alcohol addict.How can anyone trust what he says, he might be drunk right? lol…that is why indiaans do not do what they say.

India’s national airline, Air India, is to take action against 14 crew members for allegedly stealing alcohol from the prime minister’s plane.
The incident is said to have taken place in April during a visit by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to Germany.

Angry officials from the civil aviation ministry had questioned why it took Air India so long to report the incident accusing them of a “cover-up”.

The BBC’s Sunil Raman says it is now being seen as a major security breach.

During the visit last April, the prime minister’s security detail on board India’s equivalent of Air Force One panicked when they discovered that one of the aircraft’s cabinets had been broken into just before take-off.

[The crew has been] completely cavalier and irresponsible in their behaviour

India civil aviation secretary

A security alert was immediately sounded as secret service agents and intelligence officials scoured the aircraft for a possible bomb.

But all that they uncovered was the disappearance of several bottles of whisky.

They were eventually discovered in the luggage of the crew.

The airline said on Tuesday that its internal inquiry had established beyond doubt that the alcohol had been stolen during Mr Singh’s visit.

‘Smuggling’ charge

Fourteen crew members were found carrying 29 bottles of top-grade Scotch whisky with the aircraft’s captain - who is also a senior airline director - and a flight attendant found in possession of five bottles each.

When the captain was confronted, he said he had bought the whisky.

He is now likely to be charged with smuggling since Indian customs regulations only permit two bottles of alcohol to be brought in to the country by each passenger.

In a letter to Air India, which the BBC has seen, India’s top civil aviation ministry official, Ajay Prasad, accused the airline of a cover-up since they failed to report the incident to the authorities in time.

“It is indicative of the fact that such matters are not taken seriously by Air India management,” he said.

He said the crew had been “completely cavalier and irresponsible in their behaviour and they do not seem to have understood the implications of the security seal being broken”.

The airline now says its internal inquiry had established beyond doubt that the cases of alcohol were pilfered from the prime minister’s aircraft.

Re: Khurshid Kasuri’s stupid statements on media

I personally think theres been a lot of misrepresentation of Kasuris views by the Indian media. The mans family had extensive ties at one time to India and even the Congress party. He is also a man of integrity and those words attributed to him..don't sound like the same man.
