Re: US citizens must avoid travel to Pakistan: FO
becaz bhai jan yaha glasgow me bohat faisalabadi hai aur 1 ki shadi end of march me rakhi thi. lekin ub jub tension ho gaye hai bechara chance nahi lena chahta aur shadi yaha per goree ishtyle me kar raha hai.
us ka kehna hai ke kuda na khasta emergency ya khoon khara ho kar airports na bund ho jai aur wo wapas na a sake.
aee samaj janab?
Bhai sahab, this crises is not even 0% compare to PNA movement in 1970s, even at that time… koi Khoon Kharaba nahi howa tha… and airports tu emergency mein bi close nahi hote.. yaar.. 
anyway… the foundations of Pakistan are very powerful they can take these smalls shocks, history .. my friend history. After looking at it, i have firm belief, Pakistan is not going anywhere, it will pass these lil crises !
Dude, don't worry Pakistan is thousand time more safe then India in every way !
How did India come into the picture, dude ??
Anyway, go tell that to the Americans ;) They chose to issue an advisory about Pakistan but consider India safe.
Yaar firenze I know Pak with keep going As shehzad roy said “mujhe fikre ye nahi hai ke ye mulk kaise chale ga, mujhe fikre hai ke aise he na chalta rahe”
But the question was is it safe to travel to pak currently? my answer is no as its only been 2 days since Shareefs have been dismissed and they are urging calm to their workers at the moment, yet still we have seen disruption in lahore and sheikupura
I am sure you know the **Shareef brothers can cause carnage in punjab if they really want?!! **

Firenze, you have got to be kidding me. I know a personal friend of mine whose family business, the famous United Bakery got lynched yet again in Rawalpindi yesterday. It happened when Benazir died, and just two months ago they rebuilt it, and its lynched yet again. All businesses are closed and they have cordoned the areas using tents, vehicles and barricades, especially CNG and gas stations. You have to be living in under a rock or in denial if you say theres nothing going on in Punjab.
Re: US citizens must avoid travel to Pakistan: FO
Spock can you explain to me what is happening in Pakistan? I am aware of the SWAT situation but other than that what is happening in the Punjab/Lahore areas? I have family going from the UK to Pakistan in the next week, hence the need to find out.

Yaar i didn't say anywhere that nothing happened, off course carnage is going on in several cities in Punjab mostly which are connected to GT Road (PML-N 80% vote is from their), but as i was expected its not widespread, everything is under provincial establishment control. Establishment has the policy of "wait n see" but don't undermine the powerfullness of Punajb police + rangers, if they come in to action, then "na rahey ga baja na rahey gi bansuri".. As i point some where else too, if Nawaz Shareef didn't widespread these "jalsa".."jaloos" all over the Pakistan, then one can assume he is not coming back
Example: When Nawaz Shareef came to Rawalpindi after Court decesion last year, it was only Punjab police who did not let any PML-N members even close to airport !

Their is severe political unrest in Punjab mainly in north, if you are going to south belt, FSD, Multan etc.. you will found no trouble at all. Rest assured Blood shed will not going to happen in Punjab in any circumstances.
I am also going to Pakistan next week.. Punjab
