VINAY KUMAR / The Hindu / NEW DELHI, July 22, 2011.

With 13/7 serial blasts in Mumbai looming large in the background, Interior Ministers of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) countries will meet in Thimphu on Saturday.

Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram left here on Friday for Thimphu to attend the 4th meeting of SAARC Home/Interior Ministers which will have on its agenda matters relating to suppression of terrorism, maritime security, smuggling of narcotic, drugs and psychotropic substances, mutual assistance in criminal matters and trafficking in women and children in the region.

Mr. Chidambaram may have a meeting with his Pakistani counterpart Rehman Malik on the sidelines in Thimphu. Mr. Malik who was on his way to Bhutanese capital tweeted his greetings to ``Indian brothers and sisters’’, saying the two nations wanted peace for coming generations. He had a brief transit halt here while being on his way to Thimphu to attend the three-day conference.

If Mr. Chidambaram and Mr. Malik meet in Thimphu, it will be their second encounter after they had met in Islamabad last year on the sidelines of the last SAARC meeting of Interior Ministers.

Ahead of the meeting of Interior Ministers, Interior Secretaries of the SAARC nations have met in Thimphu. Union Home Secretary R. K. Singh is in Thimphu for the meeting. Among other things, the meeting is scheduled to review the progress made in the implementation of the decisions taken at the third meeting of the Interior Secretaries held on June 25 last year at Islamabad.

Pak Cauldron: Terror hurting Pak too, hope they realise and curb jihadis: PM!

Kindly review “Mayhem of the Miserables!” @ http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/52075

• May 29, 2011 
• PTI 
• New Delhi / Deccan Chronicle.

Voicing concern over the terror machine still remaining intact in Pakistan, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has asked the leadership in Islamabad to 'now wake up' and stop jehadi groups operating from its soil to target India.

Sending a message to Pakistan in the wake of the Karachi attack, Singh has said its leadership should realise that the terror machine there was 'equally hurting' them and must take more effective action against the terror groups.

The Prime Minister told reporters on his way back from six-day visit to Ethiopia and Tanzania last night that terrorism as an instrument of state policy of Pakistan was 'simply not acceptable to people in the civilised world'.

He said India will use every possible opportunity to convince Pakistan about it.

I, sincerely, wish that Pakistani Hawks would listen to this Gandhian's Counseling!
