Proof that Imran khan has a full support of Yahoodi Lobby

Leave a Comment
When the member of Mehdi Foundation was seen in Islamabad Dharna with their banners and posters. People started a criticizing PTI. Then PTI issued a statement that they don’t have any connection with them. But after it, the CEO of Mehdi Foundation Younas Al-Gohar   was seen in a video in which he was speaking in favor of PTI and was saying that “we are proud to be a part of this historic event and we wish Imaran Khan, the best in his effort to make a Naya Pakistan”.


Now I need your attention …….!
To know that what is Mehdi Foundation International?
  In 1969 when the movement of Khatm-e-Nabowat (finality of Muhammad SAW) got more strength and stress, the Member of Mehdi Foundation and Ahmadis were counted as Muslims. As a result of this movement in Pakistan the definition of Khatm-e-Nabowat was redefined concisely in light of strong arguments of Ulemas like Sayed Abbu Al-aala Mawdoodi. Which was then, also included in the Constitution of Pakistan in 1973 in the form of an ordinance.  According to that, the above two groups falls in the category of non-Muslims.  
Briefly put, the MFI cult is centred on the figure of Gohar Shahi, who was born in a village in 1941 in the Gujaranwala district in Pakistan's Punjab province. In 1980, he began publicly preaching, presenting himself as a sort of Sufi, although several of his followers began considering him the Imam Mahdi, the Promised Saviour who, according to Muslim tradition, would arrive in the world just prior to the Last Days. In the late 1990s, a number of criminal cases were instituted against Gohar Shahi, forcing him to flee to Britain. There, he set up his centre, making a fairly significant number of followers, particularly among expatriate Pakistanis. According to the MFI, Gohar Shahi went into occultation in November 2001. MFI activists believe that he is omnipresent, although visible only to his followers, and that he will again reveal himself in his physical form shortly before a grand apocalyptic battle that he will wage, along with Jesus, against the Dajjal or Anti-Christ that will herald the Day of Judgment.
In the meanwhile, MFI followers believe, Gohar Shahi is in touch with Yunous al-Gohar.  On the other hand, a rival group of Gohar Shahi's followers, led by his own son, members of the Pakistan-based Anjuman-e Sarfaroshan-e Islam, believe that Gohar Shahi is dead and they have built a grave over what they say is his tomb in the town of Kotri, in the Pakistani province of Sindh.
As appears from its name, the Anjuman-e Sarfaroshan-e Islam presents itself as somewhat closer to mainline Islam, while the MFI appears as a completely new cult, having little or no relation with Islam, although almost all of its followers are of South Asian Muslim, particularly Pakistani, origin. The MFI claims to have several hundred thousand followers in Pakistan, Europe, North America and South-East Asia, although these numbers are probably grossly exaggerated. Presently, there are said to be a few dozen followers of the cult in India, and the MFI has a small center in Mumbai. The MFI appears to be using the publicity that it received for the demonstration that it recently organized in Delhi to establish a more salient presence for itself in India.
The MFI makes such preposterous claims on behalf of Gohar Shahi that even the Anjumjan-e Sarfaroshan-e Islam insists that these are blasphemous, arguing that Yunous and his group are engaged in a 'conspiracy' to destroy the movement from within. Gohar Shahi, announces an issue of the Hatif-e Mehdi, the MFI's Urdu-English tabloid, is, in fact, God himself! The cover page displays a picture of Riyaz Ahmad Gohar Shahi along with a slogan announcing, 'There is no god but Riyaz', and inside an article that seeks to claim Gohar Shahi as the 'God of all gods' announces, 'When the age of God the Merciful and Compassionate gets over, the age of the God of all Gods will begin'. In place of Khuda Hafiz or Allah Hafiz, the standard South Asian Muslim way of saying farewell, MFI activists use the phrase Gohar Hafiz. Similarly, Inshallah ('God willing') is replaced by Insha Gohar, and the place of the Qur'an is taken by the Din-e Ilahi, a tract said to have been penned by Gohar Shahi. Those who do not believe in Gohar Shahi or oppose him, the MFI insists, are in league with the Devil and would be consigned to hell.
"As humanity awakens", Yunous writes in clumsy English an article hosted on the MFI's official website, "every nation will claim 'Gohar is ours'. True saviour of humankind is the one who turn the humanity into Divinity. And that is Gohar Shahi. Gohar Shahi is already turning humanity into Divinity. No wonder he is the Promised Messiah, Awaited Mehdi and Predicted Kalki Avatar. Yunous says so. Prophets came for nations, saints for groups, but Gohar is for all humanity".
I am not writing all these in emotion but you can search all these fact over internet. You will find all the videos content even in Urdu. The point of my criticism is that ,if I can saw things like that in single glance then, Is Imaran khan unaware of this?   Is he don’t have the courage to oust them from his Jalsas .
In the light of above discussion. I have the right to ask Imarn Khan. Who is funding you to held this big Jalsas and Dharna , to purchase TV anchors , to spend lot of money on advertisement.? 
As some of Islamist friends have already claimed that Imran khan has the support of Israel and America, I would like to add some more statement that in actual, it’s obvious to all that Mehdi Foundation is directly supporting Imaran Khan and Isreal and America is indirectly supporting Mehdi foundation
In more clear words. It can be said that the ongoing Jalsas and Dharnas are being held with help of Israel and America. Which is a successful movement toward an inconsistent and unstable Pakistan.

Microsoft's next OS is Windows 10, will ship later in 2015

1 comment
Instead of announcing the next version of its iconic operating system in front of a massive crowd of thousands, Microsoft chose an intimate venue with 50 or so reporters to launch the new Windows, which it's calling Windows 10. The company looks at the new number (yes, it skipped a number) as an indication of the direction it's taking with the OS; Microsoft says it'll be "the most comprehensive platform ever," featuring a full range of products that'll be placed under the Windows 10 umbrella as part of "one tailored experience." That means it will support everything from the "Internet of Things" to enterprise servers, taking advantage of responsive design. Microsoft's Joe Belfiore showed off an early beta version of the new Windows on stage, which looks very much like the leaked screenshots we saw not too long ago; Belfiore says that the company wanted to bring the familiarity of Windows 7 and combine it with the functionality of Windows 8.
The new Windows will look very familiar if you're used to either of the the last two versions, though Win8 users will notice that the Modern UI is nowhere to be seen at first (more on this later). Instead, the series of Live Tiles can be found in the Start Menu off to the right side, with the usual Win7-style set of pinned and frequent apps on the left side, along with web and app search underneath. Not only can the tiles be resized, but also the Start Menu can likewise be resized as well. Microsoft said you can even expand the menu to go beyond the boundaries of your monitor, so you can scroll to the left and right to see the entire lineup of apps and tiles.
It also comes with a refreshed taskbar that comes with a new "task view," which shows all of the apps that are running in each virtual desktop; your current desktop is primarily shown on the screen, but you'll see a few thumbnails down below that give you the option to switch between desktops (or add a new one, if you prefer). You can also snap up to four apps on the same screen in a quadrant layout. This is different from the standard ALT+TAB command, which brings up every running app from every desktop. Additionally, Windows 10 also gets a nice improvement to the command prompt: Now you can use keyboard shortcuts, as well as copy and paste. While Microsoft admits that this isn't exactly the most exciting news, there are plenty of diehard Windows users who have been eagerly awaiting this feature for a long time.
The Charms Bar is still there, though it may not look exactly the same when the final build comes out -- Microsoft says that the UI is still not final and it expects to change it between now and then -- and plenty of touch elements and gestures will be carried over from Windows 8. In the meantime, Microsoft isn't giving out any additional details on the touch mode, aside from the fact that with Win10, the company will make it possible for the OS to dynamically adjust the UI based on what mode you're using; if you're using a keyboard and mouse, your user interface will be slightly different than if you're going into touch mode. Oh, and about the Modern UI mode from Win8? Microsoft didn't want to place too much attention onto it today, but it did indicate that it shows up as a "large Start Menu" when you're in touch mode. (You'll also see a back button on the taskbar.) If you're using a keyboard and mouse, however, it appears that you'll enjoy the desktop experience instead.
The team only showed a few bits of Windows 10 today, but they'll continue to add more pieces to the puzzle over the course of the next year as Microsoft prepares for a late 2015 launch. For instance, we'll see more of the system at the company's Build conference next Spring. That said, Microsoft will be launching an Insider Program tomorrow, which is designed to give the initial Win10 experience (also known as the Technical Preview) to folks who have a deeper knowledge of the OS. Belfiore insists that the new Windows will give full functionality for everyone from beginners and novices to advanced users once it launches, however.

When it comes to Windows Phone, Microsoft is keeping pretty quiet about its plans, only mentioning that "it'll be a natural step forward in the evolution of the phone." Belfiore stated that the company wants to strike a blend between phones, tablets and larger devices.

CHANGE and REVOLUTION

Leave a Comment
 CHANGE and REVOLUTION
This is a lesson for those wishful thinking idealists in Pakistan who talk about CHANGE and REVOLUTION. These are supporters of Tayyab Erdogan's Justice & Development Party. They did not turn the table on the secularists and the strong military in Turkey by DHARNA and PROTESTS: they worked among the people, changed their minds, got masssssssive public support and have retained power, against the opposition of all anti Islamist forces! You must work within the system to reform and change the system: such a change comes with patience and setting examples in the areas and cities where people vote you; such a change CANNOT, repeat CANNOT, be brought about by a handful of dancing fans of a divorcee or by a few religious zealots blindfolded by a Canadian citizen!

KP to remove ‘objectionable’ material from textbooks

Leave a Comment
A senior official of the education department told Dawn on Friday that JI leaders had voiced reservations about the printing of pictures of minor girls without dupatta, Christmas cake and a Cross emblem on an ambulance instead of Crescent, the mention of good morning instead of Assalamu Aliakum, and presence of some other ‘objectionable’ stuff in textbooks for primary schools.’
“JI leaders have complained about minor things in textbooks, whose removal has been decided in principle,” the official said requesting anonymity as he is not authorised to speak to the media.
He said JI had demanded replacement of the expression ‘good morning’ with Assalamu Aliakum and the government was quick to accept it.
When contacted, JI provincial spokesman Israrullah said his party had serious reservations about certain contents of textbooks but ‘objectionable’ stuff had been removed after elementary and secondary education minister Atif Khan met party leaders on Wednesday.
“Officials of the department concerned and textbook board have formally agreed to remove objectionable contents from textbooks and will induct material to be proposed by Jamaat,” he said.
The meeting held in Peshawar on Wednesday was attended by education minister Atif Khan, additional secretary education Qaisar Alam, chairman of the textbook board Jamal Nasir and other senior officers.
Jamaat-i-Islami was represented by local government minister Inayatullah Khan, head of the JI education committee Mirajuddin and other members of the party.
“Jamaat is now satisfied with the government’s assurances and hopes minutes of the meeting with the minister will be implemented in letter and spirit,” Israrullah said, adding that the revised syllabus would conform to Islamic teachings and the ideology of Pakistan.
JI had recently protested the presence of objectionable material in textbooks and even threatened to quit the PTI-led government over it.
JI provincial chief Professor Mohammad Ibrahim had stated early this month that his party had not been taken into confidence before preparation of syllabus for primary schools.
He had complained that the provincial government has removed lessons on the life of Holy Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be upon Him), His wives and four caliphs of Muslims from textbooks and inducted contents about Ranjit Singh, Raja Dahir, and Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan.
JI claimed that it had signed an agreement with its senior coalition partner in which it was decided that the controversial contents of textbooks by the previous government would be removed and that the new syllabus would be designed with the JI consultation.
KP to remove ‘objectionable’ material from textbooks

Israrullah said the meeting of JI was held in Peshawar on Thursday night which discussed the recent agreement with the government regarding preparation of new syllabus for schools. Professor Ibrahim chaired the meeting.
The spokesman said the material related with teaching of Islam, Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and important Muslim personalities, including Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinah, would again be included in textbooks.
He said the India-occupied Kashmir was not shown as part of Pakistan in the map printed in textbooks, while lessons about Quaid-i-Azam were also removed from textbooks designed for children.
He said induction of lesson about Khan Abdul Ghaffar was not a big issue.
The government official said the objection over Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan was turned down and JI leaders were convinced that like Abdul Ghaffar Khan, every politician was controversial.
He said the map incorporated in the Survey of Pakistan had been reproduced in the textbooks.

“I didn’t realise how time went by” — Ajmal Khan

Leave a Comment
The vice chancellor of Islamia College University Peshawar, who returned home after almost four years in Taliban's captivity, speaks about his time as a hostage

Ajmal Khan, the 65-year-old Vice Chancellor of Islamia College University Peshawar, returned home on August 28, 2014 after almost four years in the captivity of Taliban. He was kidnapped on September 8, 2010.
Ajmal Khan is the son of Obaidullah Khan and grandson of Abdul Jabbar Khan, commonly known as Dr Khan Sahib, who served as the chief minister of the North West Frontier Province (now Khyber Pakhtunkwha) before Pakistan’s Independence. Dr Khan Sahib was the elder brother of freedom fighter Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, popularly called Bacha Khan.
Ajmal Khan started teaching after completing his Masters in Economics. While teaching, he pursued his law degree at the historic Edwardes College in 1973. He has served as the Principal of Islamia College Peshawar and also as the Vice Chancellor of Gomal University, Dera Ismail Khan.
He spoke to TNS in the presence of many guests who had come to felicitate him on his safe return home.
The News on Sunday (TNS): What were your feelings when you came to know about your release?
Ajmal Khan (AK): I was informed a few days before of the release. I was given the same indication twice or thrice in the past — but my release would not materialise. I had told myself not to believe in my release until I reached home. But, it turned out to be true this time.
I was so happy to see my family. I did not recognise some of my grandchildren and had to ask for their names. It is like getting a new life.
TNS: Can you recall the day of your abduction?
AK: I was leaving for office in the morning with my driver when a car drove in front of us just a short distance from my house. It stopped at the end of the street and some people swiftly came out of it. A man pointed a pistol at my driver and told him to sit in the back seat with me. Another man injected some substance in my left arm. My driver was given an injection in his right thigh. Our abductors drove us off quickly and the last thing I remember before I fell unconscious was someone putting a burqa on my head.
When I regained consciousness, it was afternoon and we were travelling in some mountainous area. At one point, we were made to walk and had to change two vehicles before arriving at a house later that evening at an unknown destination.
TNS: What were you told by your abductors on your arrival there?
AK: They said they had no enmity with me and that I was kidnapped for ransom. I did not know where we had been taken but later we came to know we were somewhere in South Waziristan Agency. I was shifted from one place to another. In the early days, I spent less than a week at one position, later I stayed up to five months at a particular place.
TNS: How were you treated during captivity?
AK: The kidnappers handed me over to the TTP. Initially I was confined to a single room. After some time, I was allowed to walk inside the house and at times even stroll outside. Things changed completely when my captors handed me over to fighters from the Khan Said Sajna group. His fighters told me to consider myself a free man with no restrictions. They called me “baba” out of respect and told me that I would be released once the situation in Waziristan was peaceful enough for me to safely go back home.
TNS: What happened to your previous captors who surrendered to Khan Said Sajna group?
AK: They had become friends as we spent a lot of time together. They were put in a tunnel-turned-prison after their surrender. I visited them occasionally and I used to pity them. It was unbelievable that once I was in their captivity and then I saw them behind bars — while I was almost a free man.
TNS: How did you keep yourself busy in detention?
AK: To tell you the truth, I didn’t realise how time went by so fast. I believe it is all due to the prayers of my well wishers. I kept myself busy in prayers, supplications and recitation of the holy Quran. I taught the holy Quran and elementary studies to some children for a few months before I was shifted to a different place.
TNS: Any incidents you would like to recall from your captivity?
AK: There are many interesting incidents. Once Hakimullah Mehsud asked me about my family and I told him I had five daughters and no son. Hakimullah and all his men kept silent for sometime before Hakimullah asked me if I would be interested in getting married in Waziristan — so I could have a son. I told him I am 61, and too old to get married. I also told him I might be going home soon. After many months though, I joked with my captors that I should have accepted the offer as I was not going home soon. I narrated this to my wife and daughters and it made them laugh.
Then there was a little boy who used to bring me goat milk. He started to come daily and listen to my recitation of the Quran. I asked him if he wanted to learn and he jumped at the offer. Before I was moved to a new place, the boy was into fourth ‘para’ of the Quran.
One day a Taliban told me that the boy’s mother had asked him if the money she could raise by selling her cattle head would be enough to pay for my freedom. I was moved that even people in the area of my captivity wanted my safe return.
TNS: Were you provided medicines for your heart disease and did you come across any life threatening heart issues during your captivity?
AK: I was regularly provided with my prescribed medicines. There were no doctors in the area. Luckily I did not experience any serious cardiac problems. However, I faced problems when there were delays in supply of medicine.
TNS: You still have some time left in your service. When do you intend to go back to work?
AK: I want to go back to work on September 8. It has been many years that I haven’t done teaching. I have 23 months left in the extension in service given to me and I want to spend each day of this time to spread knowledge.
TNS: Do you plan to write a book about your time in captivity?
AK: Yes, I want to write a book about the events of the past four years. I want to start work on it soon.
TNS: What in your view should be done for the areas where you were kept captive?
AK: The area and its people are poor. The government should focus on development of the infrastructure there. I wish that the light of education should spread in those areas. I remember many people told that the Pir Ghar mountain in their area is the highest in the world. They were amazed when I told them about Mount Everest and K2. Those people need education and in my capacity as Vice Chancellor Islamia College University I would try to have branch of Islamia College Peshawar set up there with the support of the government. If asked, I would step forward to take the initiative of educating the people of Waziristan.

Xi Jinping delays Pakistan visit due to protests

Pakistan’s foreign ministry Saturday said Chinese President Xi Jinping’s state visit scheduled for this month had been postponed due to anti-government protests in Islamabad.
Pakistani opposition groups on Wednesday resumed talks with the government in a bid to end the political crisis rocking the country, but remained in a stalemate over demands for Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s resignation.
The fresh talks came after days of clashes between police and club-wielding anti-government protesters left three dead and hundreds injured, raising fears of an intervention by the powerful military that has ruled Pakistan for more than half its history.
“In view of the current political situation in Pakistan, the governments of China and Pakistan have mutually agreed to postponement of the state visit of H.E. Xi Jinping, president of China, to Pakistan, which was scheduled to take place later this month,” the ministry said in a statement.
Diplomats from both countries were discussing new dates for the visit, it added.
“Both countries underline that China and Pakistan are time-tested all-weather friends. Both sides attach high importance to the visit of President Xi Jinping to Pakistan, as early as possible, for promoting mutually beneficial cooperation between the two countries.”
The Pakistan Tehreek Insaf (PTI) party of cricketing legend Imran Khan -- who has been leading the protests along with populist cleric Tahir-ul-Qadri -- claims that the last year general election which swept Sharif to power was heavily rigged.
Thousands of their followers have set up camp in Islamabad’s sensitive “Red Zone” government district since August 15.
But their calls to overthrow the government have failed to galvanise mass support in the country of 180 million.
The military has issued a series of public advisories to the government in recent days on how the crisis should be tackled, leading to criticism that it is interfering.
Analysts and government figures have said the army may be using the crisis to its advantage to try to assert its dominance over the Sharif government.
