    In a delicate balancing act, Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai
    [ Images ] on Thursday described India [ Images ] as a 'close friend',
    while referring to Pakistan and Afghanistan as 'conjoined twins'. In
    remarks apparently aimed at assuaging Pakistan's concerns about the
    Indian presence in Afghanistan, Karzai said his country would never
    allow its soil to be used for activities directed against any of its
    neighbours…

    ISLAMABAD, Mar 11 (APP): Reiterating that Pakistan-Afghanistan ties
    were important for regional peace, security and development, the two
    countries agreed to develop communications network, boost trade to 15
    billion by 2015 and enhance cooperation in education, agriculture and
    energy sector. A Joint Declaration issued at the end of two-day visit
    of President Hamid Karzai on "Next Steps in Afghanistan-Pakistan
    Comprehensive Cooperation" expressed determination by the two sides to
    realize the full potential of their vast human and natural resources
    for the progress and prosperity of their peoples…

    New Delhi, March 10:…"Islam strongly prohibits any means of violence.
    The stone pelting practice is surely un-Islamic. It causes
    inconvenience to people and propels more violence," the Grand Mufti
    was quoted as having said by a wire news agency, IANS…. Asked if he
    had issued a fatwa against stone pelting, which some separatists
    justify as a form of resistance, the Mufti said, "What I am saying is
    not my personal opinion. I, as a Grand Mufti, am making it clear. When
    Islam doesn't advocate or justify any violence, how can you justify
    stone pelting? I am saying this in the light of Hadith (sayings of the
    Prophet) and the holy Quran"…

    THIMPHU: A few students in the capital, who lived within walking
    distance from school, but would rather have their parents chauffeur
    them to school in a car, have now begun walking. Some have started
    picking up rubbish they find along the way and throwing them in a bin
    and stopped carrying plastic bags to schools. Many others are
    insisting their friends and family members join them in a daily five-
    minute meditation and mindfulness session every morning and evening…
