<b>Love letters</b>
Mr L K Advani has written a most complimentary letter to the real PM, lauding him for his statesmanly decision to restore the ancient Hindu Shahiya temples of Katas Raj in Kalar Kahar. Much of the initiative on this was taken by Chory Shuj of Guj when he was prime minister for the briefest time a couple of years ago, and this has also been acknowledged by Mr Advani in a letter to the Chory. The restoration is a step in the right direction because the temples are ancient monuments dating from the era before the advent of Islam in the subcontinent, and are as much part of our history as anything that has followed the Hindu Shahiya period. This initiative has also given Pakistani archaeologists an opportunity to go and learn the craft in India, under the tutelage of more experienced colleagues in the discipline. Groups of ourarchaeologists have been working with the Archaeological Survey of India to map out a suitable conservation planfor the Katas Raj temples which has been implemented. With all these love letters flying thick and fast between Indo-Pak, the opposition too is said to be caught up in the spirit of it all. We hear Big Ben has a close and warm relationship with Mr Advani whom she calls her âfavourite Sindhiâ in India.

<b>Audio cassettes can make Taliban invisible</b>
As reported in daily Express, after the missile attack by the Pakistan Army on the Taliban hideout in Zamozola, the town was visited by journalists on the invitation of local Taliban commander Baitullah Mehsud. According to a BBC journalist, a four wheeler full of young men with flowing beards asked them to wait and then left. They came back and took them to a place where the Taliban were roaming freely. Their jeeps have blue or red emergency lights on top of the roof, with black windows and jihadi couplets on the back. Coming back from the Taliban area the driver inserted an audio cassette in the cassette player and told the journalist that it would make their jeep invisible from American spy planes roaming in the skies.
<b>Arousing sons of Islam</b>
Sarerahe wrote in daily Nawa-i-Waqt that a moving and faith-enhancing picture was published in newspapers that showed a veiled woman brandishing a danda (stick) guarding the madrassa of Lal Masjid in Islamabad. Enlightenment is not only limited to leftists and liberals; extremists can also become enlightened. The danda wielding burqa clad women have become a new symbol of resistance that enlightened lovers shall learn lessons from. It is with time that daughters of Islam (dukhtaran-e-islam) shall arouse the honour of sons of Islam (farzandan-e-Islam).
<b>Aishwarya Rai is a stain on the Bachans</b>
According to daily Express, the Pakistani film actress Meera said that Aishwarya Rai is a spot of dishonour on the Bachan family that canât be cleaned, even with Ganga water. Innocent and simple Abhishek Bachan has been trapped by a scheming woman who wants to be the daughter-in-law of the Bachan family. Aishwarya has had illicit relations with Arab sheikhs and was also involved with Salman Khan and Vivek Oberoi. She said that the cunning and greedy Aishwarya just wants to grab the assets of the Bachan family. <!--emo&

<b>Tribesmen on course for destruction</b>

The governor, while addressing a jirga in Wana, had been attacked by two rockets fired by unknown assailants. He said tribesmen shall choose a right direction and if they didnât change their thinking, they can take the course of destruction. .
<b>British injured cultural heritage</b>
Columnist Maqbool Auria Jan wrote in daily Express that when Prince Charles and Cherie Blair came to Pakistan, I showed them all the injuries their forefathers inflicted on the Lahore Fort. The British opened a hospital in the Diwan-i-Am and stored alcohol in the summer palace which is under the Sheesh Mahal. They tried to ridicule every aspect of our cultural heritage. <b>Mughal princes were made to dress like waiters and attendants. In the 1911 census, India had a 97 percent literacy rate. The British changed the informal education to formal education resulting in a 15-20 percent fall in literacy rate when they left India. The British have left a generation that canât stand the smell of their cultural clothes, consider the local music as backward and nauseate at the thought of indigenous life.</b>
<b>Elections useless without ISI decision</b>
As reported in daily Pakistan, Air Marshal Azghar Khan (Retd) stated that the nation has been tricked for the last 50 years and political parties are making fools out of people. He said that the intelligence agencies are lobbying via the political parties. Unless the higher court decides the case of ISI, when it formed Islami Jamhori Ittehad and distributed funds there is no use of fresh elections.

<b>Hinduism has solutions to problems of Muslims</b>
