The mismanagement caused outside the accountability court in Islamabad earlier this week was a result of “incoordination” between law enforcement agencies and civil administration and not a “clash between institutions”, director Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) has said.
“It was an incident of local incoordination [but] received a tremendous hype,” Major General Asif Ghafoor told reporters on Thursday. “It was not an incident of a clash between the institutions. We need to improve this coordination and encourage a soldier rendering his duties.”
The paramilitary force was deployed at the Federal Judicial Complex on Monday, where the accountability court is located, stopping media and senior politicians, including some federal cabinet members, from entering the premises.
Following the mishap, Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal threatened to resign, asking whose orders the Rangers was following, and promised an inquiry into and disciplinary action over the incident. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said that the controversial deployment of Rangers would be investigated and whosoever ordered deployment of paramilitary troops would be punished.
If Rangers found guilty, action will be taken against them: PM
“We need to understand that [when] a soldier, whether belonging to military or police, is deployed on his designated place of duty and has been ordered to provide security, Ghafoor said. “It is possible that someone who did not have a card was a relevant person, but Rangers personnel do not know. Even if the army chief does not have a card, he is informed by personnel that he is not allowed [to pass].”
“We need to appreciate the personnel for their duty,” he added.
The incoordination, he added, was dealt with in 10 to 15 minutes. “Then the rest of the [PML-N] leadership went inside [the court],” he said.
The director general also discussed several key issues, including relations with Afghanistan, India and the US, internal security and civil military relations.
Election bill controversy
On the removal of the clause relating to Khatm-e-Nabuwwat (finality of the prophethood) from the Election Bill, Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor said that the military, like every Pakistani, has never and will never compromise on the sanctity of the Prophet (PBUH).

New York Comic Con kicks off Thursday, and while the TV lineup isn’t quite as expansive as San Diego’s annual fan fest, there are still plenty of high-profile shows making an appearance during the convention — and broadcast better watch out, because most of these heavy-hitters come from the streaming networks.
Here are 10 shows that get our Spidey senses tingling at this year’s NYCC.
Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams
Friday, Oct. 6, 10:30AM-11:30 a.m., Hammerstein Ballroom
Amazon’s new anthology series has already drawn inevitable comparisons to Netflix’s Black Mirror, since it’s also produced by Channel 4 (the UK network that initially made Black Mirror a hit across the pond before Netflix snagged it), but instead of springing from the enviable mind of Charlie Brooker for its twisted tech tales, Electric Dreams goes back to the source of so many of our sci-fi anxieties, adapting the iconic stories of Philip K. Dick. Read more…

ENFIELD: Harry Kane has revealed that his remarkable goal-scoring feats with Tottenham Hotspur and England over recent months can be traced back to his kitchen.
The 24-year-old striker, who captains England in their World Cup qualifier against Slovenia on Thursday, has scored goals at a prolific rate since his breakthrough season with Spurs in 2014-15.
But his scoring has hit new heights this year — 11 goals in five games for club and country at the tail-end of last season, 13 in eight last month — and he partly credits his decision to hire a personal chef.
“Over the last year or so, I’ve changed a lot off the pitch with the nutrition side of it,” Kane told reporters after training with England at Spurs’ base in Enfield, north London on Wednesday. “It kind of clicked in my head that a football career is so short. It goes so quickly. You’ve just got to make every day count. So I’ve got a chef at home to eat the right food, which is big for recovery.”
Spurs’ striker said off field care is as important as the on field training. “You can’t train as hard as you’d like when you have so many games, so you have to make the little gains away from football as well,” he said. “That’s recovery, sleep, eating the right food. That will definitely help me going into a tournament year and hopefully keep me fresh all year round.”
Kane was introduced to his chef, who he did not name, by an acquaintance last December.
The chef visits the house Kane shares with his fiancee, Katie Goodland, and their nine-month-old daughter, Ivy, six days a week and has been helping the striker understand how his body reacts to different foods.
“You could eat healthily all week and then have loads of carbs (carbohydrates) before a game, but you’ve not eaten those carbs all week and your body goes into a little bit of shock,” Kane said. “It’s more just planning it: when we have double (training) sessions, maybe higher carbs; when the sessions are a bit lighter, it’d be lower. I still eat what I was eating, nothing really new. I’m not a big fish fan, but he’s got me eating a bit more fish for my Omega-3 (fatty acids). A few spices on that to help.”
Asked whether he has a guilty pleasure, Kane lowered his head bashfully and said: “Apple crumble.”
Sitting beside Kane, England manager Gareth Southgate said he was “absolutely the sort of role model you want”.
While Kane’s eating habits have changed, his style of shooting has not.
The blond front man is renowned for finding the bottom corners of the net and he says Spurs youth coach Bradley Allen played a key role in helping him hone his finishing style.
“I’ve worked on that from a young age — it was always low and hard in the corner,” Kane said. “Some people now try and score the perfect goal, in the top corner to look better, but it doesn’t matter to me. Low and hard across the keeper is the worst one for them to try and save. Bradley Allen, under-15s (coach) here, was a great coach for me. We always did extra finishing. Last year he asked me why I kept cutting back on my right foot and not taking it on my left, and he was right. This season, that’s worked out well for me — I’ve scored quite a few with the left foot.”
Kane has always professed himself content at Tottenham, his local club, but for the first time he has opened the door to a move abroad.
“I would never say no or yes. You’d not rule out anything,” he said when asked about the possibility of one day playing overseas. “It’s not something I definitely want to do, but you never rule anything out. I’m very happy here, but we’ll see what happens.” AFP

Florence + The Machine weren't happy with this political party using their song
October 5, 2017Politicians love a good rock ballad to accompany otherwise long and boring conference sessions.

But sometimes they forget one small but crucial detail: ask the song’s author/performer for permission.
That’s what happened last year when Donald Trump, then still a candidate, used The Rolling Stones‘ “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” and “Start Me Up” at his rallies. Tired of being associated with Trump, the Stones issued a “cease and desist”.
In a similar fashion, Florence + The Machine want you to know they’re not happy about the Tories’ blasting their haunting cover of Candi Staton’s “You’ve Got The Love” at the Conservative Party conference in Manchester: Read more…
