States, at times, take actions that neither have rationale nor can be explained or justified. But, there is always a purpose behind it. India is no different. For it does not miss an opportunity to plan, execute and exploit gains from its stage-managed incidents to malign Pakistan for its self-designed specific objectives. Be it the attack on the Indian Parliament in 2001, soon after 9/11 incidents in the US, or the tragedy of Samjotha Express to sabotage the peace process, India seems to have mastered the art of stage-managing the incidents to divert the attention from domestic issues. As expected, the blame is always put on Pakistan without any investigation or evidence. Aware of its growing international stature, India knows that whatever it projects would be accepted, particularly against Pakistan and in the garb of terrorism and extremism. Thus, it would be able to attract the attention of the international community.

PESHAWAR: Rain that lashed the provincial capital Sunday evening turned the weather pleasant and broke the hot dry spell.
It was followed by a wind thunderstorm that hit the city and caused disruption of electricity supply and communications system. Most parts of the provincial metropolis faced a power breakdown for almost five hours that exposed the power consumers to untold miseries.
Though the rain was received for a short interval, it inundated low lying areas and pooled water on roads and streets. The rainwater got accumulated at the Bacha Khan, the underpass near the Central Prison Peshawar that affected the smooth flow of traffic and troubled the pedestrians as well.
