Pakistan is going to be cornered militarily as United States squeezed the supply of arms to the country.
Delhi nuclearized Indian Ocean stealthily; Pakistan expressed grave concern
//

India nuclearized its ocean and destabilized
the South Asian’s weaponry balance. India confirmed it in April, 2016 tested
the K-4 missile, which can be launched by a submarine and carry a nuclear
warhead up to 3,500 kilometres away. The confirmation came after secret tests
were done in March in the Indian Ocean.
Alarmed at India’s naval nuclear
ambitions, Islamabad has taken up New Delhi’s recent test of a
submarine-launched, nuclear-capable ballistic missile with its arch rival, amid
fears the move has serious implications for strategic stability in South Asia.
The move not only raised tense in
Pakistan and surrounding countries but also caused concerns as India did not
give prior notification to Islamabad or any other country as part of the
broader understanding existing between the parties
This is a serious development. Since
1988 both countries Pakistan and India formally or informally inform each other
about such missile tests but this time India chose otherwise, said a senior
Foreign Office official while requesting anonymity.
Pakistan and
India signed a landmark agreement in 2005 on the pre-notification of ballistic
missile tests in order to prevent misunderstanding and misinterpretations, and
promote a stable environment of peace and security between the two countries.
The official said Pakistan had raised
the issue with Indian authorities through diplomatic channels to explain as to
why New Delhi this time ignored this understanding.
Strategic
affairs expert Dr Ishtiaq Ahmed said the ‘nuclearisation of Indian Ocean’ will
certainly alter the ‘strategic balance’ in this part of the region.
This all
happened at a time Pakistan and India have been struggling to resume the
structured dialogue following the attack on the Pathankot airbase in January.
Although, foreign secretaries of the two countries met in New Delhi at the
sidelines of a conference on Afghanistan, the two sides could not agree on the
formal start of comprehensive bilateral dialogue.

activities in India and Myanmar by utilizing the soil of Bangladesh. So-called
Bangladesh chapter chief Sheikh Abu-Ibrahim al-Hanif in an interview said this
and the interview published the version in its magazine’s 14th
edition which published on Wednesday.
In long interview, he pointed out that many atheists are now
loitering out of afraid of Mujaheeden attack. For atheists, his fighters are
sharpening the knives to cut the throats. Replying a question on JAMAAT, the
chief commented that the party leaders are now engaged to deceive its innocent
followers by saying sweet words.
While they going to build a base in Bangladesh, the chief added
that Bangladesh is a convenient country to conduct wage against India and
Myanmar. The aim of jihad is to take revenge of Muslim killings in these two
countries, he pointed out.
To analyze the strategic position, Abu-Ibrahim al-Hanif said in
the west, Pakistan and Afghanistan front the IS groups have already completed
their preparation to wage war. In East, the group of Bangladesh is now
preparing to complete its final preparations.

Northeastern states are unable to import the full load of 10-gigabyte per-second bandwidth from Bangladesh
// Shamsul Basunia //
India's northeastern states are unable to import the
full load of 10-gigabit per-second bandwidth from Bangladesh under a deal due
to their infrastructural constraints. They are taking only 3GBPS now, to start
with. According to Bangladesh Submarine Cable Company Limited, India does not
have the capacity to import and use the 10 Gbps for now as per the deal. In a
prelude to the formal opening, Bangladesh, on February 8, unofficially began
bandwidth export to India through the Akhaura-Agartala border. The state-owned
company had signed a deal with the Indian state-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam
Limited on June 6 last year for exporting bandwidth during the Indian prime
minister's visit to Bangladesh.
According to the agreement, Bharat Sanchar Nigam
Limited (BSNL) decided to import 10 Gbps of bandwidth for Tripura state from
September last year, but the export timing had been fixed for August. Later,
both parties missed the deadline. According to the agreement, the volume of
bandwidth will be shared with other northeastern states of India. The submarine
cable company will get the payments at the beginning of each quarter while
Bangladesh will earn Tk 96 million a year by exporting bandwidth to India.
BSCCL is exporting bandwidth at $10 per Mbp. India can increase the volume of
bandwidth up to 40Gbps gradually, as per agreement.
