Pakistani-American comedian Kumail Nanjiani. Photo: File Pakistani-American comedian Kumail Nanjiani may be an Oscar-nominated actor, but despite all his accomplishments he often gets mistaken for other "brown actors". Nanjiani took to Twitter to share that people still mix him up with other South Asian-American actors. ?A day may come when I am not mistaken for another brown actor. But it is not this day,? he wrote without delving into details regarding what prompted the tweet or who he was mixed up with. However, it appears Nanjiani isn?t the only one who faces the issue. Other brown stars commented on his tweet sharing their own experiences of how they're mistaken for Nanjiani. Kunal Nayyar of The Big Bang Theory revealed that he takes being mistaken for Nanjiani as a compliment. ?Every time I get recognised for you I think ?man I wish it were true :),? he said. Kal Penn, who appears in the ABC series Designated Survivor, also responded to the tweet saying he recently took credit for both Nanjiani and Nayyar?s accolades. ?I have taken credit for both of your accolades in the last two weeks so I guess I owe you each a photo, half a beer, and an awkward extended hug.? Further, comedian Hari Kondabolu chimed in to point out that even die-hard fans can?t differentiate between South Asian-American stars as he shared an image of fan art which featured Nanjiani instead of him. Turns out, people can?t even distinguish South-Asian American stars by gender as comedian Aparna Nancherla revealed she was congratulated on The Big Sick which is written by and features Nanjiani. Earlier this month, Nanjiani said nobody from Hollywood can find Pakistan on the map. Nobody from Hollywood can find Pakistan on the map: Kumail Nanjiani Extending support to 'Dreamers' in the US, Nanjiani took a dig at his own immigrant status "And I am from Pakistan and Iowa, two places that nobody from Hollywood can find on the map," he said while presenting the Oscar for production design at the 2018 Academy Awards along with actress Lupita Nyong'o.

Philippines relieves 11 police officers in mistaken identity shooting

Top police officer said the vehicle, which was carrying seven people, including a woman who had been shot earlier that night, was on its way to a hospital when police opened fire after mistaking it for one driven by the woman?s assailant/Reuters Photo:File MANILA: Ten Philippine police officers who mistakenly shot at a vehicle and killed two of its passengers late Thursday have been relieved of their duties, the capital?s police chief said as he ordered an investigation into the incident. Metro Manila?s top officer Oscar Albayalde said the vehicle, which was carrying seven people, including a woman who had been shot earlier that night, was on its way to a hospital when police opened fire after mistaking it for one driven by the woman?s assailant. Albayalde said the police officers from Mandaluyong city, part of greater Manila, may have been given wrong information because they were told by village officials that the passengers of the vehicle were armed. ?We can?t totally blame them,? Albayalde told a media briefing. Albayalde also relieved the chief of Mandaluyong police of his command pending the investigation. ?We are not hiding anything here. We?re not discounting the possibility ... that there may be overkill or violation of our POP,? Albayalde said, referring to Police Operational Procedures (POP). Philippine police are already facing unprecedented scrutiny due to concerns about their conduct during anti-narcotics operations. Several opinion surveys have indicated dwindling trust of police accounts of operations that have killed close to 4,000 people. Human rights groups and political opponents say executions of drug users and small-time peddlers have been widespread, but police insist those killed were all dealers who put up violent resistance. -

However, our desire for peace must not be construed as a sign of weakness or indifference to the developments taking place in the region,? he remarked while addressing the 108th midshipman and 17th SSC passing out ceremony at Pakistan Naval Academy. The PM said: ?Any disguise or unnatural arrangements for supremacy would neither succeed nor serve the purpose of peace and stability. The people of this region deserve a better quality of life, progress and prosperity. This dream can only come true?? by following a policy of cooperation and coherence.? We ought to engage effectively and direct our energies towards the common goal of our people, he stressed, adding ?in the current security scenario, certain extremist elements that are abated externally are at play to disrupt our peace and harmony.? On military operations to counter terrorism, he said ?Zarb-e-Azb and Radd-ul-Fasaad are not merely operations. These are manifestations of a resolve and the commitment of the nation to cleanse Pakistan of the scourge of terrorism.? The PM also hailed the role of Pakistan?s armed forces, stressing: ?Our armed forces are at the forefront playing a pivotal role in harmony with other state institutions.? It is the government's resolve to make all resources available to Pakistan Navy so the country?s seaward defence becomes impregnable, and promotion of blue economy, he said. ?Pakistan Navy is rapidly developing its indigenous capabilities and pursuing it with greater vigour.? The PM assured that Pakistan is in safe hands, adding ?there is a concoctive narrative being spread against unscrupulous and vested narrative this is not new to us. We shall foul such designs with unity and keeping the national interest supreme.? He added, ?Pakistan shall rise and stand tall with grace and dignity.? While addressing the officers being commissioned, the PM remarked that the youth reassert his confidence in the ?glorious future of the nation.? ?You must serve the nation and Pakistan Navy with devotion and commitment. It is indeed the most cherishable day, for those who are being commissioned today. You have proved yourselves worthy of a noble, demanding and honourable profession that awaits you.? The PM remarked: ?Commissioning is a defining moment in your career that you will always treasure. Today, you assume the responsibility to defend the maritime frontiers of our homeland and to guard our ideology, integrity and freedom even at the cost of your own lives. As guardians of sea frontiers, you have to measure up to the expectations of the nation.? He advised the young officers on the importance of being a leader. He said, ?I advise you that as leaders of men you will be expected to lead with your conduct, character, integrity, knowledge and foresight. A leader is also open to new ideas, composes calm in face of adversity and has the trust of those he leads. You must ensure the interest of states remain over and above any individual of any federation.? Hailing the role of Pakistan Navy, the PM remarked, ?Pakistan Naval Academy since its inception has trained a large number of naval cadets from our friendly countries. I hope this cooperation continues. Pakistan Navy is determined and vigilant to safeguard any threat to Pakistan's maritime interest.? As many as 129 officers participated in the passing out ceremony, of which 46 were foreign nationals from Qatar, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. Chief Minister Sindh Murad Ali Shah also attended the ceremony. -
Victims of US airstrike in Kabul angry over mistaken attack
ADMIN posted a blog entry in Geo News Blog
source: AFP KABUL: Haji Rabbani was preparing for afternoon prayers when he saw the US helicopters hovering above his mud-brick house in a residential area of Kabul. Moments later bombs started raining down. Six members of his family, including four children, were wounded in Wednesday's airstrike that was supposed to hit insurgents fighting Afghan security forces several kilometres from where US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis was meeting with officials. Two bombs struck Rabbani's home - several hundred metres from where the insurgents were holed up - destroying an upstairs room, shattering windows and sending debris toppling into the courtyard. NATO's Resolute Support mission in Afghanistan expressed regret for the "harm to non-combatants" caused by the US airstrike - the first carried out inside the city in recent memory - and blamed a defective missile. An investigation is underway. The strike was launched in support of Afghan security forces who had confronted militants armed with mortars and suicide vests after they fired a volley of rockets near the capital's international airport - hours after Mattis arrived in the country for a high-profile visit. One person was killed and 11 wounded - including the six people at Rabbani´s house - in the fighting that lasted several hours as Mattis and NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg met with Afghan leaders to discuss the broader conflict. Both the Taliban and the Daesh?s local Khorasan province affiliate claimed responsibility for the rocket attack. Casualties of war After the airstrike, Rabbani ran inside his home to get his family out. A child in the upstairs room that took the full force of the explosion was on the floor, mud bricks covering most of her small body. "I just got out of the bathroom and came out to perform the ablution when the strike took place," Rabbani told AFP on Thursday as he sat on a carpet in his debris-covered courtyard, smoking and drinking green tea with relatives. "I rushed towards the house and shouted for my children." Two children and two adults remain in hospital. Shrapnel from the bombs had peppered the rooms and blood spatters could be seen on door frames, walls and in the courtyard. Rabbani said he did not understand why foreign forces had targeted his family when he had no links to the insurgents firing rockets near the airport. "I do not belong to the government nor am I affiliated with anyone. I am a poor person who works in the city," said the 49-year-old taxi driver. Large fragments of the bombs lay on the ground nearby, one piece showing a partial label that read "50.9 KG". "There are no Daesh or Taliban in this area and the fighting is almost three kilometres from here - and they bombed my house." It is not the first time a US bombing attack has hit the wrong target. An American airstrike in 2015 destroyed a Doctors Without Borders trauma centre in northern Kunduz province, killing over 40. In July a US airstrike killed 16 policemen in Helmand province. It came after a US strike in Helmand´s Sangin district killed at least 18 civilians, mostly women and children, in February. Rabbani and his family have joined a growing list of civilians who have become casualties of Afghanistan´s grinding 16-year war. The number of civilians killed and wounded was at a record high in the first six months of 2017, a UN report shows, made worse by the Afghan Air Force carrying out its own airstrikes along with US Forces. "Airstrikes carried out by international and Afghan air forces caused 590 civilian casualties (in 2016), nearly double that recorded in 2015," a separate UN report shows, with women and children accounting for more than half of the victims. While NATO has acknowledged its mistake, Rabbani´s family wants compensation not sympathy -- and for the strikes on ordinary Afghans to stop. "They do not target the enemies in front of their eyes -- they target our house and kill our people," said Rabbani.
