    Pakistan atleast came this far. India succumbed to US pressure in the beginning, way way long before.

    Pak Parliament to Review Gas Deal

    10 August 2009
    Pakistan's government has decided to present a draft agreement of the Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline (IPI) in the parliament for final approval.

    "The purpose to present the agreement in the parliament is to develop consensus over the long awaited gas deal between the two neighboring countries," Babar Awan, the minister for parliamentary affairs told Presstv's reporter in Islamabad on Saturday.

    The minister said the resolution for approval would be tabled in the house in the upcoming session of the parliament where petroleum ministry officials would present details of the deal to lawmakers for further discussion.

    Both Islamabad and Tehran inked a gas purchase agreement on June 5, 2009 by Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zaradari and his Iranian counterpart Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Tehran.

    The project, which aims to transport gas from Iran to Pakistan and India through a 2,600-kilometer pipeline, was first mooted in 1994 but has been stalled by a series of disputes between the two Asian rivals--Pakistan and India.

    IPI (iran pak india) pipeline directly challenges american pipeline plans in the region. Americans are trying to get stability in afghanistan to see through their pipelistan projects, but India & Pakistan are running out of patience and need gas desperately.

    American firms want to take contracts from central asia and fulfill south asian needs, but so far no luck

    we dont need to have pipelines for gas.

    we already have 2-3 discovery of petroleum gas from kaveri and other regions .

    we continue to import gas from iran.

    iran although have world 3rd largest deposit of crude oil,gas;

    they are unable to even process crude oil to produce diesel,petrol.

    reliance and indian oil supplies diesel to them

    recently ongc and onvl are planning to invest 10 billion $ in buying oil fields in iran

    why we will want to have a pipeline passing through pakistan once your leaders cant even handover masood,let and jaise heads .

    dawood has even made a marriage relation with your ex cricketer.he is a global terrorist involved in drugs,hawala,printing fake notes for india from your government inventory in association with isi.

    its better to lose few dollars and buy the oil fields in iran or directly import crude oil from iran than being dependent on our unstable ,unreliable neighbor

    Dawood's brother **** dies in Karachi

    Karachi: Underworld don Dawood Ibrahim's brother **** reportedly died of kidney failure at a Karachi hospital early Tuesday morning.

    **** was also suffering from cancer.

    He was wanted in cases of forgery, fake currency and extortion by Indian investigative agencies.

    **** had also allegedly forced several film producers and directors in India to pay extortion money and the Interpol had issued a red corner notice against him.

    Dawood's family lawyer Shyam Keswani condoled the death of **** saying it was a loss to the family.

    "Death is always a loss to family members. There are no cases against ****. One case was there but it wasn't substantial," said Keswani.

    He reportedly looking after Dawood's underworld activities in India.

    **** left India after 1993 serial bomb blasts in Mumbai and since then he was living in Karachi with his brother.

    However, the Pakistan government has always denied that Dawood and **** lived in Pakistan.
