Karzai confirms Iran cash payments

So people of Kabirwala, if you're tired of loathing our own president, here is news about Hamid Karzai...

Afghan President Hamid Karzai has claimed that once or twice a year Iran gives his office $700,000 to $975,000 (£445,000 to £620,000) for official presidential expenses. He says the US has known about the Iranian assistance for years and that Washington also gives the palace "bags of money."

Mr Karzai's comments came in response to a The New York Times report that Iran was giving cash to the Afghan president's chief of staff, Umar Daudzai, to buy his loyalty and promote Iranian interests in Afghanistan.

The newspaper quoted unnamed sources saying the money had been used to pay Afghan lawmakers, tribal elders - even Taliban commanders.

Mr Karzai says several nations give his office money because it lacks revenue.

Honour killings: Saved from India's caste system by the Love Commandos

Believe it or not, in India volunteers have set-up a helpline to rescue couples whose lives are in danger because they want to marry across caste lines.

The Love Commandos' phones ring night and day. What started as a group of like-minded friends protecting couples trying to celebrate Valentine's Day is rapidly becoming a national movement, with 2,000 volunteers across the country and more coming forward every day.

The Love Commandos rely on individual donations of 100 rupees (£1.40) a year from their volunteers to keep going. "We need places where the khap panchayats can't come and kill us," says Sachdev. "We are appealing to everyone who appreciates love to help us. We are branded people. We have had death threats and our effigies burned."
