the-hindu.com Pak. public opinion blames Sharif Islamabad, June 4 (UNI): Pakistan's public opinion about the Kargil crisis does contain undertones of severe criticism of the Nawaz Sharif Government for the present military escalation in Kashmir. Responding to an opinion sought by Urdu daily 'Jang' on the Kargil episode, several native and non-resident Pakistanis lashed out at Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for the present escalation in tension at a time when ''Pakistan cannot stand for two days if there is a war with India.'' Three US-based Pakistanis expressed concern about their homeland's weak economy and its image as a ''promoter of terrorism in the name of Islam.'' ''Pakistan is engaged in terrorism and has launched an offensive against India, a country which is a true protector of democracy,'' said Fakruddin Ahmedul Safa. Pakistan has no business to interfere in India's dealing with the intruders within its own territory, he added. Sharif Iqbal feels that the Pakistani Government is trying to divert public attention from its recent follies by creating trouble on the Line of Control. ''We already have wasted more than 50 years fighting over Kashmir and in the process neglected human development in Pakistan,'' he charged.

Home-boy to head Cabletron -Piush Patel to replace Benson as CEO & Chairman. Ratan: Have you heard the news? ============ Cabletron Systems' Benson Resigns as CEO and Chairman; Patel Replaces Him By John Shinal Rochester, New Hampshire, June 4 (Bloomberg) -- Cabletron Systems Inc. Chief Executive Craig Benson resigned from the No. 4 computer-networking company and said Piyush Patel will replace him, after a two-thirds plunge in the company's share price during the past two years. Patel, 43, a veteran of Intel Corp. and Sun Microsystems Inc., joined Cabletron when the company bought startup computer- switch maker Yago Systems Inc. in March 1998. Benson, 44, who co- founded Cabletron in 1983 and was also its chairman and president, will remain a director. ''I want what's best for Cabletron in the long run and I think he's better able to lead the company,'' Benson said in an interview. He said he approached the board and suggested Patel, senior vice president of engineering, as his replacement. Rochester, New Hampshire-based Cabletron was a top maker of networking hubs that were the best-selling product for linking computers in corporate networks earlier this decade. However, it was late to market with newer technologies and has seen sales and profit erode in the past two years....... quote.bloomberg.com
