Pakistan saddened by British PM Cameron's remarks

Pakistan said on Thursday it was "saddened" by remarks by British Prime Minister David Cameron that it was exporting terror, adding these did not reflect ground realities.

Pakistan is a key ally of the United States whose help is crucial for US efforts to stabilise neighbouring Afghanistan.

Pakistan saddened by British PM Cameron's remarks

Cameron's remarks, made on Wednesday during a visit to Pakistan's arch-rival India, came days before an expected visit by Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari to Britain.

The Pakistani foreign ministry said Zardari would visit Britain despite Cameron's remarks.

"Obviously, we are saddened by Prime Minister Cameron's remarks in Bangalore to an Indian audience. These remarks are contrary to the facts on the ground," Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokesman Abdul Basit told a news briefing.

Basit said Cameron's remarks were prompted by classified US military reports published by the whistle-blowing WikiLeaks Website. Some of of the classified reports appear to reveal that Pakistan secretly aided Taliban militants while taking billions of dollars in US aid.

"You can never draw the right conclusions from misguided reports," Basit said.

"We should not be creating unnecessary hype around these reports and get distracted."

The 77,000 classified documents tangentially deal with Pakistan and the alleged involvement of its Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency in the Afghan insurgency.

India Bandh to Affect Tourists on July 5 | all-India strike on July 5 | Bharat Bandh

Monday will be a good day to take some rest at your hotel. From 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Monday, the whole of India will grind to a halt for the Bharat Bandh -- a nationwide strike called by some of India's political parties to protest against the rising cost of fuel.

Some states are likely to be affected more than others, depending on which political parties are in power. These states include Kerala, West Bengal, Tripura (in the north east region), Maharastra, Himachal Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Uttarakhand and Gujarat.

The supply of essential services, such as water, milk, electricity, hospital and emergency services will be exempt from the strike. However, schools and businesses will be forced to close. Public transport will also be affected. Those that don't comply with the strike face vandalism and violence from patrolling political party representatives.

Although the Supreme Court declared that this type of strike is "illegal and unconstitutional" over a decade ago in India, the reality is that the desires of political parties continue to dominate. So, do be prepared!
