Farrukh Khan Pitafi (journalist) on TV One program "National Interest" - TV One - Apr 26, 2009

Concise summary of Swat, including background of Sufi Muhammed.

Points out the obvious which people have been saying all these years - that foreign funding of organizations (funding of NGOs are another example) will INEVITABLY lead to pockets of "special interests" that may NOT be aligned with the interests of Pakistan.

On a related note:

Letting foreign funding into our educational institutions (whether it be Saudi OR the recent attempt by U.S. interests/NGOs) is WORSE.

Even if these efforts seem to be "succeeding" (the NGOs facilitating this will always say they are), they reduce the LEGITIMACY and authority of the educational system.

  • It might be a surprise to many indians but for the last few years india has been funding some groups in Baluchistan.

    This aspect is known quite commonly - although inthe pak media this is not mentioned as much - only recently.

    And there is some support of some groups in the "Tehreek-e-Taliban" (which is a group that is different from the Afghan Taliban).

    May hurt the feelings of indian "we are clean" but there is a certain truth to some of these statements.

  • india is responsible for Al-Qaida??? there is a good reason for whats wrong with pakistan........ instead of trying to solve the problems.....everyone takes the easier way out....... INDIA DID IT!!!! hope u all will realise one day that most in india are only worried abt growth and prosperity...... somethin that paki leaders are not atall bothered abt :(
