Google 'bhikhari', search engine shows images of Pakistan PM Imran Khan

Tags
LOL, even Google making fun of Pakistani PM now.


Business Today
If you search 'beggar' or 'Bhikhari'  on Google search engine, images of Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan pop up on the search engine.
A week earlier, an onion seller from Pakistan on Twitter said, "Just 3-4 days are left for Eid and the market looks so dull. We depend on India for vegetables and onion, which is so essential for cooking food on Eid. I am sure, the price of onion will increase further. What does Imran Khan want us to eat? Grass?"
Pakistan recently suspended bilateral trade with India in response to the revocation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan's embargo on trade with India comes at a time when Pakistan's economy is on life support from China, Saudi Arabia and International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Pakistan's foreign reserves stand at just $7.76 billion, even lower than Bangladesh's forex reserves worth $32 billion. Pakistan's GDP forecast has also been revised downward to 4 per cent. The country's inflation stood at 8.9 per cent in June 2019.
This year, in February, the search for "best toilet paper in the world," was throwing Pakistan's national flag as a result on the search engine.

False propaganda of Pak not working

Tags
Pakistan's false propaganda on Kashmir is not working. Very few countries in the world have bought Pakistan's version of Kashmir issue.

Instead of peddling lies of occupation, oppression and azadi Pakistan should learn to mind it's own business. The Kashmir issue was never about azadi.


Pakistan has accepted that it will be difficult for it to find support if it rakes up Kashmir in front of the five permanent members (P5) of the United Nations Security Council, or even before a section of Muslim countries.
Pakistani foreign minister SM Qureshi said at a press conference on Monday: "People in the Security Council aren't standing with flowers; any of the P5 members can be a hurdle. There shouldn't be any ambiguity on that, do not live in a fool's paradise."
The P5 are China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States.
He added: "Let the people of Pakistan and Kashmir be aware that nobody out there [at UNSC] is waiting for you, nor awaiting your invite."
The development comes exactly a week after New Delhi decided to remove Jammu and Kashmir's special status.
The US state department has also "noted" that India declared the issue an internal matter.
Last week, in a big snub to Pakistan, UNSC did not take up Qureshi's letter of August 6 at several meetings written in the aftermath of New Delhi removing the special status for the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir.
Referring to India, the Pakistani foreign minister also said, "Lots of countries have interests there. I have said this in hints earlier, hope you get it. It's a realignment. It's a market of one billion people, lots of people have invested there."
"We talk about Ummah [global Muslim community]and Islam but those who are the safeguards of Muslim nations have invested there [in India]. They have their interests there."
Qureshi's statement comes on a day when Saudi Arabia-backed Saudi Aramco, the world's largest company by revenue, announced it will acquire a 20% stake in Reliance's oil-to-chemical business, making it India's largest foreign direct investment.

After UAE Russia also backed India's move to withdraw the special status given to Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcated the state into two Union Territories -- Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh.

Pakistani doctors with MS, MD degrees sacked in Saudi Arabia

Tags
This is what happens when you poke your nose into your neighbors' affairs more than your own.



LAHORE: In a worrying development, Saudi Arabia and some other Arab countries have rejected the century-old postgraduate degree programme of Pakistan — MS (Master of Surgery) and MD (Doctor of Medicine) — removing it from the eligibility list of the highest paid tier.
This decision has reportedly rendered hundreds of highly qualified medics jobless. A majority of them are in Saudi Arabia who have been told to leave or be ready for deportation.
Rejecting Pakistan’s MS/MD degree, the Saudi ministry of health claimed it lacked structured training programme, a mandatory requirement to hire medics against important positions. After the Saudi move, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain also took the similar step.
Most of the affected doctors were hired by a team of the Saudi health ministry in 2016 when it conducted interviews in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad after inviting applications online.
One of the affected doctors told Dawn the decision had brought embarrassment for them since the same degree programme offered by India, Egypt, Sudan and Bangladesh was acceptable in Saudi Arabia and other countries.
