Hina Rabbani

Former Pak foreign minister Hina Rabbani Khar has called Imran Khan a "poster boy of populism", asserting that he was able to get Pakistan's people to rally around "great injustices", but didn't have any plan to "give them a way out" when in power.

Pakistan cannot "conquer Kashmir through war" and Islamabad can progress on the issue only in an environment of mutual trust with New Delhi, former foreign minister Hina Rabbani Khar has said.

"Peace should be irreversible and peace talks should not be derailed by a single incident," Ms Khar said, adding, "Trade is the way forward. When we invest in each other's countries, it strengthens peace. (sic)"

A UN special rapporteur investigating US drone strikes has concluded after a secret trip to Pakistan that the attacks by CIA-operated spy planes violate the country's sovereignty.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Friday cautioned against adopting an extreme stance against Pakistan after the recent tension along the Line of Control (LoC), saying that while recent incidents demanded a firm response, New Delhi couldn't wish away Islamabad as its neighbour.

India is unlikely to agree to Pakistan's offer for Foreign-Minister-level talks between the two countries any time soon, sources have said. Pakistan's Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar had on Wednesday night suggested holding talks with her Indian counterpart to defuse tension along the Line of Control in Kashmir.

There has been no firing along the Line of Control overnight or this morning. Yesterday, top military officers from India and Pakistan spoke to each other on hotline and agreed to exercise restraint to de-escalate the 10-day-long tension at the border.

In an attempt to ease the tension at the Line of Control, Pakistan Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar offered to hold talks with her Indian counterpart.

Pakistan Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar late on Wednesday night suggested that she and her Indian counterpart Salman Khursheed hold talks to defuse the tension building between the neighbours over ceasefire violations along the Line of Control (LoC).

Pakistan has reportedly ordered its army to observe ceasefire and maintain restraint after India said there have been at least five incidents of cease-fire violation since Monday's flag meeting. Earlier, Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) from India spoke to his Pakistan counterpart and both reportedly agreed to de-escalate tension at t...

Pakistan's Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar has said that her country is committed to getting relations with India back to normal, and that the two neighbours cannot afford a setback to the progress made to improving ties over the past year.

Pakistan will take action against Laskhar-e-Toiba (LeT) founder Hafiz Saeed, the mastermind of the Mumbai attacks, if India provides evidence against him that stands in court, Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar said today.

Pakistan and the United States have restored full military and intelligence ties after relations hit a low point last year, and Islamabad will take further steps to support a nascent Afghan peace process, Pakistan's foreign minister said on Wednesday.

Terming it as an wake-up call, Pakistan Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar has said that Taliban attack on teenage rights activist Malala Yousufzai could possibly be a turning point in her country.

The Pakistani military today dismissed as "absurd and baseless" a British newspaper's report that the Inter-Services Intelligence agency was behind a defamation campaign against Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar and PPP chief Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.
