On one side, military is snatching lands from poor farmers at very low rate for building Military empire and on other hand, the same military Generals are using it for their housing societies and paying as bribe. One reason for the anger of Balochis is also the same, when our last President announced Cantonment in Gawadar, regardless of fact that Pakistan don’t need cantonment in an area where there is no external threat. Every body knows that what is the reason of building cantonment at lucrative places of Pakistan. Supreme court remarks against such steps are now an open secret for Pakistanis.

Anyway, please read the report pasted below for your information and discussion. Now a days Army is trying to build confidence so they get an other chance after few years to come back in government. We have to realise that no body is there to work for common man. We have to select right people for right positions.

Report from The News: The mystery behind General Pervez Musharraf’s success in convincing Maulana Fazlur Rehman of the JUI in 2004 not to oppose his uniform has been partially solved — the general had doled out hundreds of acres of military land worth millions of rupees to the near and dear ones of the Maulana.

Documents of these land allotments obtained by The News explain why the Muttahida Majlis Amal (MMA) always remained a friendly opposition to General Pervez Musharraf, bailed him out at critical times and why its JUI-led provincial government was able to complete a five-year term in the NWFP.

The scale of the buyout price of the JUI, which has now been confirmed, is massive in terms of state land and money paid to the JUI leaders and their relatives.

It is not clear whether the Pakistan Army could actually cancel these allotments of its lands to relatives of a politician even if it wanted to.

Musharraf’s dubious promise of taking off his uniform by December 2004 was first quietly accepted by the MMA and then when he went back on his promise the JUI-led MMA never created any problem, except for low-level noises made off and on for public consumption.

This was done all because JUI’s Maulana Fazlur Rehman had been allotted hundreds of acres of state land, mostly in the name of his relatives, staff and employees. Documents of these allotted lands, now in the possession of The News, reveal the blatant corruption of the JUI leaders, who use Islam to fool the people but never stop from compromising themselves and their principles for material and monetary gains.

The ousted dictator is now known to have secretly allotted 1,200 Kanals of military land in D I Khan to his opposition leader in the last National Assembly Maulana Fazlur Rehman and his chief minister in the NWFP Akram Khan Durrani in 2004.

Though the military land was transferred in the names of those who are either closely related to these two JUI-F leaders or are their relatives, the Revenue Department in DI Khan confirmed that both these leaders had at least 600 Kanals each in their personal possession.

A senior member Board of Revenue in the Frontier government was also allotted 400 Kanals of the same land for his role in this highly controversial allotment from the land earmarked for soldiers, who are given this land for their services and in line with the policy derived by the GHQ.

The allotment letters, relating to 1200 Kanals, were issued by the Army’s General Headquarters Adjutant General (Welfare and Rehabilitation Directorate), Rawalpindi under the signatures of Lt-Col Muhammad Zafar on behalf of the adjutant general and countersigned by Brigadier DWR-I Zafar Iqbal Shah on Oct 23rd 2004 — a little over two months prior to the deadline set for Musharraf’s stepping down as Army chief.

Maulana Fazlur Rehman could not be reached for comments despite all efforts. However, his party spokesman categorically said that there was no truth in this and that it was a vilification campaign launched against the party and its leader.

The spokesman said that the land was neither allotted in the name of the two leaders nor in the names of their close associates or relatives.

Former JUI chief minister Akram Khan Durrani, however, admitted that some of his close associates/relatives were allotted lands but he said he had nothing to do with those.

But the documents, available with The News, confirm that six men connected with Maulana Fazlur Rehman and Akram Durrani were allotted 200 Kanals each whereas a senior Revenue officer, serving in DI Khan, also acknowledged that the said land was actually in the possession of these two leaders.

Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s main ally in the MMA at that time Qazi Hussain Ahmad of the Jamaat-e-Islami, when approached, said that he and his party did not have the hint of this wheeling and dealing.

The documents show that whole of this land was allotted in Rakh Ghass, Tehsil and district Dera Imail Khan where the provincial government had allotted almost 136,000 Kanals of land to the Pakistan Army for its scheme under which the officers and JCOs and their families are allotted agriculture land of different sizes on the basis of their performance, seniority, sacrifice etc under a well determined formula.

Adjutant General’s Branch, W&R Directorate, in its six separate letters dated Oct 23, 2004 and clearly tagged as “restricted”, allotted 200 Kanals of agriculture land in Rakh Ghass D I Khan to each of the following beneficiaries:

1. Abrar Ahmad Khan son of Muhammad Ismail Khan, street 41 Sector I-9/4 Jamia Masjid Farooq-e-Azam, Islamabad.

Generally known as Mufti Abrar, this allottee is the personal assistant of Maulana Fazlur Rehman. He has been allotted land in Khasra No 717, 716 and 715, the document shows;

2. Sharifullah son of Mr Rahmatullah, Mohallah Mehmood Khel, village Abdul Khel, district D I Khan. He is attached with the brother of the Maulana, Maulana Lutfur Rehman, and is considered as their family member. He has been allotted land in Khasra No 718, 719 and 720;

3. Muhammad Ramzan son of Mr Feroz Khan, Mohallah Mehmood Khel, village Abdul Khel district D I Khan. He is closely related to Sharifullah and is also close with the Maulanas. He was allotted land in Khasras No 715 and 714;

4. Ibrar Ali Shah son of Asghar Ali Shah, Mewa Khel, Fazal Haq Malwana, Bannu. He is cousin of Durrani, who admitted the same and asserted that his father is a retired soldier so the son got the land. He was allotted land in Khasra No 718, 719 and 720;

5. Muhammad Ashraf Ali Khan son of Muhammad Shahzad Khan, village Khutti, Tehsil and dist D I Khan. He is included in the personal staff of Maulana Fazlís brother Maulana Lutfur Rehman. He was allotted land in Khasra No 717, 716 and 715; and

6. Muhammad Shahzad Khan son of Alam Sher Khan, Hibak Sharzah Khan P/O Sikandar Khel Bannu. He is the uncle of Durrani as admitted by the former chief minister. Durrani said that his uncle was a retired soldier so was given land by the GHQ. Shahzad Khan was allotted land in Khasra No 715 and 714.

Following these allotment letters issued by the GHQ, the land was formally transferred by the concerned Revenue officer to the above mentioned on 26 January, 2005.

After the issuance of the allotment letters, the provincial government referred the case of Reayat Khan, the then senior member Board of Revenue, to the GHQ for the allotment of 400 Kanals of land in the same Moza for the officer, who had reportedly played an important role in getting 1200 Kanals transferred in favour of the men of JUI-Fís top leaders.

Though Maulana Fazlur Rehman was not accessible, party spokesman Maulana Amjad told this correspondent that this was all disinformation and aimed at maligning the name of the Maulana. He said that neither the land was transferred to the two top JUI leaders nor to any of their front men. Maulana Amjad said that they did not believe in the politics of opportunism.

Akram Durrani clarified that the land was actually allocated to the Pakistan Army before he took over as the chief minister of the province. He said that during his rule, he tried his level best to get the decision reversed but in vain. He denied that the land allotted in 2004 to his close men belonged to him.

He argued that his uncle was allotted plot because he was a retired soldier whereas his other relative was gifted 200 Kanals because his father was in the Army.

“I have nothing to do with all this,” he said. Durrani, when asked about Maulana, said that he would not respond on behalf of his party head.

The former chief minister of the Frontier province suggested to this correspondent that the media should focus on what is going on in Islamabad. When asked if he was the beneficiary of the four Agro-plots that the CDA was recently pressurized to allot, he said that it was just media gossip.

A senior district Revenue official, serving in the D I Khan, however, said that the land in question was in possession of the Maulana and Durrani. He said he did not know under what law the then Army chief had made this allotment because such a military land was only allotted to army officers and NCOs or to the families of the martyred.

The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has received information from a remote area of Balochistan province, that five women were buried alive, allegedly by the younger brother of Mr. Sadiq Umrani, the provincial minister and a prominent leader of the Pakistan People’s Party, the ruling party. However, police have still not arrested the perpetrators after one month of the incident.

CASE DETAILS:

The Umrani tribe is mainly concentrated in the Jafarabad and Naseerabad districts of Balochistan provice that are about 300 kilometers from Quetta city, the provincial capital. Mr. Sadiq Umrani, the provincial minister for housing and construction, was elected to the Balochistan Assembly in the February 18, 2008 elections from Dera the Murad Jamali constituency of district Naseerabad.

The incident of the women being buried alive occurred in a remote village, the Baba Kot, 80 kilometers away from Usta Mohammad city of Jafferabad district. It is believed that due to the influence of the minister and his brother the incident was not reported in the media.

According to the information received, five women were Ms. Fatima, wife of Umeed Ali Umrani, Jannat Bibi, wife of Qaiser Khan, Fauzia, daughter of Ata Mohammad Umrani, and two other girls, aged between 16 to 18 years. They were at the house of Mr. Chandio at Baba Kot village and to leave for a civil court at Usta Mohammad, district Jafarabad, so that three of the girls could marry the men of their choice. Their decision to have marriage in court was the result of several days of discussions with the elders of the tribe who refused them permission to marry. The names of two younger girls were not ascertained because of strong control of tribal leaders in the area.

As the news of their plans leaked out, Mr. Abdul Sattar Umrani, a brother of the minister, came with more than six persons and abducted them at gun points. They were taken in a Land Cruiser jeep, bearing a registration number plate of the Balochistan government, to another remote area, Nau Abadi, in the vicinity of Baba Kot. After reaching the deserted area of Nau Abadi, Abdul Sattar Umrani and his six companions took the three younger women out of the jeep and beat them before allegedly opening fire with their guns. The girls were seriously injured but were still alive at that moment. Sattar Umrani and his accomplices hurled them into a wide ditch and covered them with earth and stones. The two older women were an aunt of Fauzia and the other, the mother of one minor. When they protested and tried to stop the burial of the minors that were plainly alive, the attackers were so angry that they also pushed them into the ditch and buried all alive. After completing the burial, they fired several shots into to the air so that no one would come close.

The minors were educated and were studying in classes from 10 to 12. They were punished for trying to decide about their marriages.

After one month the police have still not registered the case and it is difficult to get more detailed information. The provincial minister is so powerful that police are reluctant to provide details on the murder. When the AHRC contacted Mr. Sadiq Umrani, provincial minister, he confirmed the incident by saying that only three women had been killed by unknown persons. He denied his or his brother’s involvement. He went on to say that the police will not disclose any information about the case as to do so now would be implicate themselves. However, concerned officers of two different police stations have confirmed the incident and explained that no one is providing any information. Also as they could not find the graves of the victims it is difficult to register the case. The victim’s family members have since left the place and their whereabouts are unknown.

The alleged perpetrator, Mr. Abdul Sattar Umrani, the brother of the provincial minister, was also involved in murder of three persons, including one young woman, in January 2006. That case was similar in that a school teacher, Mr. Mohammad Aslam, was going with his lover in a taxi to a civil court to court marry. The perpetrators stopped them at Manjo Shori, sub district Tumboo, District Naseerabad and killed all three persons by gun fire. The dead included the taxi driver, Mr. Jabal Aidee. The police were unable to institute a murder case for five months until the intervention of Mr. Iftekhar Choudhry, the deposed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and also the deputy speaker of Senate. But only one person was arrested and the perpetrator Abdul Sattar Umrani remained at large.

 

ADDITIONA INFORMATION:

Every year in Pakistan hundreds of women, of all ages and in all parts of the country, are reported killed in the name of honour. Many more cases go unreported. Almost all go unpunished. The lives of millions of women in Pakistan are circumscribed by traditions, which enforce extreme seclusion and submission to men many of whom impose their virtually proprietarily control over women with violence. For the most part, women bear the traditional male control over every aspect of their bodies, speech and behaviour with stoicism, as part of their kismat (fate), but exposure to media, the work of women’s rights groups and the greater degree of mobility have seen the beginnings of women’s rights awareness seep into the secluded world of women.

But if women begin to exert these rights, however tentatively, they often face more repression and punishment: the curve of honour killings has increased parallel to the rise in the awareness in rights. State indifference, discriminatory laws and the gender bias of much of the country’s police force and judiciary have ensured virtual impunity for perpetuators of honour killings. It is paradoxical that women who enjoy such a poor status in society and have no standing in family should become a focal point of a false and primitive concept of family honour, which they are accepted to uphold at the expense of their inclinations and preference in the matters of marriage. [Honour Killings in Pakistan by Neshay Najam].

Originally a Baluch and Pashtun tribal custom, honour killings are founded in the twin concepts of honour and commodity of women. Women are married off for a bride price paid to the father. There is no concept for girls to get marriage on their own choice and if it is found then, they are killed in the name of honour. (Please also refer to LESSON Series 35 May 2004 of Human Rights Correspondence School).

 

SUGGESTED ACTION:

Please write letters to the following mentioned authorities demanding to file the case of murder of five women by burial alive by the perpetrators.

Please be informed that the AHRC has also written letters to the UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions calling for an intervention in this case.

There is more to the bone-chilling account of the 17-year-old Taslim Solangi of Khairpur who was thrown to dogs!  She was 8-month pregnant and was forced to give birth to her baby prematurely. The baby was immediately thrown into the nearby Ubhal Wah canal after her killer father-in-law passed a judgement that the child was illegitimate and did not deserve to be allowed to live.

Meanwhile, a new report said hit men have also been dispatched to Karachi to kill the absconding mother of Taslim who had fled the village. Top level inside sources have now confirmed to The News on good authority that at the time of her murder Taslim was to give birth to her first child in two-week time.

But, once the decision to eliminate her was taken by her father-in-law Zamir Solangi, she was taken to a local midwife Mrs Badshaan alias Baashi for forced delivery of the child. Soon after the delivery, the baby was thrown into the nearby canal and later the mother was put to death.

In Islamabad, President Asif Ali Zardari reacted sharply to the report of killing of Taslim and has asked lady MNA Nafeesa Shah to investigate the shocking event and submit him a report. President spokesman Farhatullah Babar told The News that the president was greatly disturbed over the incident and had immediately asked Nafeesa Shah to investigate the matter.

Mr Babar said the lady MNA, who was scheduled to leave for Turkey along with Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, has cancelled her trip and decided to go to her village and probe the incident.

Meanwhile, source said, an influential assistant commissioner serving in the Sindh government, who heads the Solangi tribe, is said to have played a key role in facilitating the murder of the 17-year old girl. Mrs Zakran, the mother of the victim, is hiding in Karachi as Zamir Solangi has now dispatched hit men to kill her.

A source said: ou are talking about some one who was murdered in March, but no one is talking about the mother of the victim whose life is in serious danger after she decided to take on the killers of her daughter.?

The murderer is still at large, telling every body that he has sent hired assassins to eliminate the mother of his daughter-in-law. The police have instead arrested the husband of the girl, who volunteered to confess that he has killed his wife.

Gul Sher had married a woman of the adjoining Kanhar tribe from whom he had two sons and as many daughters. Taslim was the elder daughter, who was married to the son of her real uncle Zamir Solangi. One day, the mother of Taslim borrowed jewellery from her neighbours and fled the village along with her children. It is not known why she left her house, leaving her husband behind in the village.

She settled in Karachi with her children. After some time, she got her daughter Taslim married to a young man of Kanhar tribe of the same area. This marriage had taken place in Karachi. Having no idea that the young man belonged to the adjoining village of her own village, she married off her daughter to him. The Kanhar tribes have many houses adjacent to Hajana Shah, Pir jo Goth (the area of Pir of Pagara). One day, the young man took his wife Taslim to his village, as he did not know the history of her mother-in-law. By chance, some women from Hajna Shah came to visit the very house of the Kanhar tribe and learnt that Taslim had remarried to another man. They went back and informed their elders the whole story. This became a matter of enmity between the Solangi and Kanhar tribes. However, the chief of Solangi tribe and a serving assistant commissioner Sain Dad brokered a deal between the two tribes.

The assistant commissioner decided that the Kanhar tribe would pay a fine of Rs 400,000 to the Sloangi family for remarrying the girl. Likewise, Sain Dad also made the Kanhar tribe to hand over Taslim to an old man Khajan of Hajana Shah village as 蕆maanat?till a final decision. The girl was handed over to one Mulla Ajao who later handed her over to Mr Khajan who kept her in his home.

But one morning Zamir Solangi came to Khajan with holy Quran in his hands to assure him that if he handed over his daughter-in-law, he would not harm her. He vowed on Quran that he would not kill her and would keep her at his house. Zamir also gave a word on Quran to her frightened niece and daughter-in-law Taslim that he would not kill her. Khajan agreed and handed over the girl to Zamir Solangi.

After taking the girl to his home, the first thing he did was to take the pregnant Taslim to a midwife Baashi to arrange the delivery of the child whose actual date of delivery was still fifteen days away. The moment the child was born, he was thrown in the Ujhal Wah canal.

Zamir Solangi forced his son Ibrahim Solangi to declare that his wife was a 蕱aali? He asked his son it was better that he confessed to police that he had killed his wife for being 蕱aali? as it would be easy at the later stage to get him out of jail after some compromise, as happens in the cases of honour killing. Ibrahim went to the police station and confessed to have killed his wife in the name of honour. Thus the real killer managed to escape arrest.

Meanwhile, the Ahmedpur police station officials did not show any interest in further investigating the whole issue after the husband of girl surrendered before the police. Talking to The News, DSP Khairpur Liaqat Abbasi said it was a simple case of honour killing, as the husband had confessed to the crime and was in jail. He claimed that there was some dispute over the payment of money, which had actually led to big hue and cry.

Meanwhile, MNA Nafisa Shah, who belongs to Khairpur, has condemned the incident of Taslim Solangi murder, which she termed as cruel, inhuman and barbaric. She also condemned the role of the Jirga.

There have been numerous cases where the MNA, a former Nazim, has taken personal risks and saved lives of many women. There have been other cases when she learnt of deaths months after the incidents and ordered enquiries and the culprits were brought to justice. This has been duly acknowledged nationally and internationally, as she received a number of citations on peace and human rights.

Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has landed with a thudding sound on the money launderers across the country, and for a country tottering on bankruptcy, this crack down on the money birds is nothing but a welcome sign. As FIA and other investigation teams are concentrating on apprehending on those who are involved in flighting the dollars outside of the country, some fingers (not unexpectedly) are also being lifted at the president Zardari, due to his past.

As nobody knows about the amount of assets and belongings of Asif Ali Zardari, and the reeking and the most illegal act of law on planet is there to umbrella upon the president and also the past practices of extorting money from the industrialists by the man are still haunting, and that is why as the top money exchangers in the country are being raided upon, some people are claiming that as these money exchangers refused to pay extortion money to the front men of Zardari, that is why they are being made an example for others to follow the lead silently.

But even with NRO and the Zardari past, it looks pretty much absurd to think that Munaf Kalia and Javed Khanani, Rustam and others money masters are as innocent as angels and it all has been cooked up by the FIA former boss Rehman Malik who is now the all in all the PPP government. Javed Khanani and Munaf Kalia were arrested on Saturday in a crackdown by the FIA’s Crime Circle Wing after the flight of around $10 billion from the country. The transfer of dollars by different money changers during the last two months has exacerbated the steep increase in the rate of the US dollar in Pakistan’s currency markets. As soon as both men have been arrested before they managed to flee the country, the rate of US dollar has come down sharply easing little burden off the sagging shoulders of the economic sector.

When the country needed hard cash most, these Khananis and Kalias and others like them acted as front men to some 32 most rich persons in Pakistan and sent billions of dollars out of the country. The involvement in the illegal transfer of money to Europe, the Gulf states, the US and other countries of Khanani and Kalia was not secret, but as they were backed by the riches, they were never comprehended but this time they crossed all limits and literally choked down the economy and even the sleepy bird like FIA forgot to spy on the politicians and acted in the right direction.

Government of Pakistan should also make sure that they end up the system of “Hundi” and “Hawala” and make sure that the banks are not bypassed in transferring money to and from Pakistan. Billions of rupees are transferred from and into Pakistan through the process that has become an established business in the country, and that has been giving hard blows to the economy for the last several years. Zardari should also let go of NRO and clean up his act and he must declare his assets, otherwise he is the most soft target in the country.

’کارگل پلان بینظیر کو بھی دیا گیا تھا‘

 شہزاد ملک
بی بی سی اردو ڈاٹ کام، اسلام آباد

 

	نواز شریف بھی کارگل آپریشن پر تحقیقات کرانے کا مطالبہ کرتے ہیں

سابق فوجی افسران نے کہا ہے کہ کارگل آپریشن پہلی مرتبہ پاکستان پیپلز پارٹی کے سابقہ دور حکومت میں اُس وقت کے آرمی چیف جہانگیر کرامت نے وزیراعظم بےنظیر بھٹو کو بھی پیش کیا تھا جس کو رد کر دیا گیا۔

سنیچر کے روز راولپنڈی میں ایکس سروس مین سوسائٹی کے ارکان نے ایک پریس کانفرنس سے خطاب کرتے ہوئے سوسائٹی کے کنوینر بریگیڈئر ریٹائرڈ محمود حسین نے کہا کہ جس وقت کارگل آپریشن کا پلان بے نظیر بھٹو کو پیش کیا گیا تو اُس وقت کے آرمی چیف جنرل ریٹایئرڈ جہانگیر کرامت جنرل پرویز مشرف کو بھی اپنے ساتھ لے گئے تھے۔

انہوں نے کہا کہ سابق وزیراعظم بےنظیر بھٹو اور اُس وقت کے وزیر داخلہ میجر جنرل ریٹائرڈ نصیر اللہ بابر نےاس کی شدید مخالفت کی اور کہا کہ یہ منصوبہ قابل عمل نہیں ہے۔

انہوں نے کہا کہ صدر جنرل ریٹائرڈ پرویز مشرف نے جب کارگل آپریشن شروع کیا تو اس دوران نہ ہی فضائیہ اور نہ ہی بحریہ کے سربراہوں کو اعتماد میں لیا گیا۔

لیفٹیننٹ جنرل ریٹائرڈ سلیم حیدر نے جو اُس وقت راولپنڈی کے کور کمانڈر تھے، کہا کہ جب کارگل آپریشن کے بارے میں بریفنگ دی جا رہی تھی تو اُس وقت تو کور کمانڈروں نے بات نہیں کی۔

انہوں نے کہا کہ انہوں نے اُس وقت کے آرمی چیف جنرل پرویز مشرف سے ملاقات کرکے انہیں بتایا کہ یہ منصوبہ قابل عمل نہیں ہے۔ سیلم حیدر نے کہا کہ جنرل ریٹائرڈ پرویز مشرف کی رائے سے اختلاف کے بعد اُن کو تبدیل کرکے کور کمانڈر منگلا بنا دیا گیا جبکہ اُن کی جگہ لیفٹیننٹ جنرل ریٹائرڈ محمود کو راولپنڈی کے کور کمانڈر بنا دیا گیا۔
 

	کارگل کے بارے میں بھارت میں انکوائری ہو چکی ہے

انہوں نے کہا کہ اگر بھارت میں کارگل آپریشن کے بارے میں کمیشن تشکیل دیا جا سکتا ہے تو پاکستان میں کیوں نہیں۔

 

بریگیڈئیر ریٹائرڈ محمد عربی خان نے کہا کہ اُن کا تعلق بھی انتیسویں پی ایم اے لانگ کورس سے ہے اور پرویز مشرف کا تعلق بھی اس کورس سے ہے۔

انہوں نے کہا کہ جنرل ریٹائرڈ پرویز مشرف سائنس کا طالبعلم تھا اور اُنہیں کیا معلوم کہ اکانومی کیا ہوتی ہے۔ انہوں نے کہا کہ لوگ ہمیں طعنے دیتے ہیں کہ اُن کا بیچ میٹ کیا کر رہا ہے۔

عربی خان نے کہا کہ وہ فوجی فاؤنڈیشن میں ملازمت کرتے تھے لیکن جب پرویز مشرف آرمی چیف بنے تو انہوں نے اپنی نوکری پر جانا چھوڑ دیا۔ لیفٹیننٹ جنرل ریٹائرڈ صلاح الدین ترمزی نے کہا کہ وہ گزشتہ چھ سال سے صدر جنرل ریٹائرڈ پرویز مشرف کے خلاف برسرپیکار ہیں۔

انہوں نے کہا کہ جنرل ریٹائرڈ پرویز مشرف ایک غیر آئینی صدر ہیں اور انہیں نہ تو عوام اور نہ ہی سیاسی جماعتیں صدر ماننے کو تیار ہیں۔

انہوں نے کہا کہ انہوں نے دو مرتبہ انتخابات میں کامیابی حاصل کی تھی لیکن پرویز مشرف نے پی سی او کے تحت معرض وجود میں آنے والی سپریم کورٹ کے چیف جسٹس اور اٹارنی جنرل کی مدد سے اُن کی کامیابیوں کو ناکامیوں میں تبدیل کر دیا۔
 

ایک سوال کے جواب میں سوسائیٹی کے کنوینئر نے کہا کہ فوجی افسران دوران ملازمت بھی اپنے تحفظات کا اظہار کرتے رہے ہیں۔ انہوں نے کہا کہ سابق ملٹری ڈکٹیٹر جنرل ضیاء الحق نے جب مارشل لاء لگایا تھا تو اُس وقت کے چیف آف جنرل سٹاف لیفٹیننٹ جنرل عبداللہ نے اس کی مخالفت کی تو جنرل ضیاء الحق نے انہیں فوری طور پر تبدیل کرکے کے ایم عارف کو فور سٹار جنرل بنا دیا جنہوں نے کبھی بھی کوئی کور کمانڈ نہیں کی۔

 

انہوں نے کہا کہ ایکس سروس مین وکلاء کے لانگ مارچ میں بھی شرکت کریں گے اور وہ وکلاء کی تحریک کو کامیاب بنائیں گے۔

اس سے پہلے ایکس سروس مین سوسائیٹی کا اجلاس ہوا جس میں کہا گیا کہ جنرل ریٹائرڈ پرویز مشرف آئینی صدر نہیں ہے اور اُن کے ٹرائل کے لیے ایک جوڈیشل کمیشن بنایا جائے اور اُن سے کارگل آپریشن اور وزیرستان میں ہونی والی بمباری کا حساب لیا جائے جس میں سینکٹروں بےگناہ افراد ہلاک کر دیے گئے۔ اجلاس میں مطالبہ کیا گیا کہ سابق وزیر اعظم شوکت عزیز کو وطن واپس آکر اپنی اقتصادی پالیسیوں کا دفاع کرنا چاہیے۔ اجلاس میں شمالی وزیر ستان اور سوات میں حکومت کی طرف سے امن معاہدے کی حمایت کی گئی۔

[Pakistan Army Lt. General] Ali Kuli Khan Joins Anti-Musharraf Movement

By Rauf Klasra

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, 1 June 2008 (The News) - Retired military generals, who have become active against [Traitor] Pervez Musharraf, have vowed to work for the restoration of an independent judiciary even if Musharraf quits power.

In a strongly-worded message to the political forces on Saturday, they said Musharraf must be held accountable for his misdeeds. The retired Army officers, who met at the residence of Brig. (retd.) Mian Mohammad Mahmud, resolved that they would continue to play their role in the Society, which wanted the return of [unlawfully] deposed [Pakistan Supreme Court] Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry.

The presence of Lt. Gen. (retd.) Ali Quli Khan, who was supposed to become the Army Chief instead of General Pervez Musharraf but fell victim to palace intrigues, in the meeting was specially noticed. [PML-N Chief Muhammad] Nawaz [Sharif] always regretted his decision for giving weight to the advice against Ali Kuli Khan.

The other prominent participants of the meeting were Lt. Gen. (retd.) Asad Durrani, Lt. Gen. (retd.) Salahuddin Tirimzi, Lt. Gen. (retd.) Hameed Gul, Lt. Gen. (retd.) Abdul Qayyum, Lt. Gen. (retd.) Jamshed Kiyani, Maj-Gen. (retd.) Shafeeq Ahmed, Maj-Gen. (retd.) M. Arshad Malik, Maj-Gen. (retd.) Hidayat Niazi, Maj-Gen. (retd.) MA Zuberi, Brig. (retd.) Khadim Hussain, Brig. (retd.) Mian Mehmood, Brig. (retd.) Taj, Brig. (retd.) Abdus Salam Akhtar, Brig. (retd.) Arbi Khan, Lt. Col. (retd.) Dalel and Capt. (retd.) Zaheer uddin Baber.

Briefing the media, Brig. (retd.) Salam Akthar said the meeting worked out a plan for participation in the long march, being organised by the lawyers’ community on June 10 [2008]. The ex-servicemen have volunteered to mobilise maximum number of retired Army men for this event. “The gravity of the situation is such that we can no longer remain spectators and have to play the part required at this critical juncture,” an appeal sent out to the ex-servicemen says.

The group, however, clarified that ex-servicemen are not part of any political group. “We are playing our role in the best national interest. Being part of the civil society, we are deeply concerned with the crises, which Pakistan is facing currently as a result of the unconstitutional and illegal acts of Pervez Musharraf on Nov. 3, [2007]” Brig. Salam said.

Ex-Generals Demand Trial Of Musharraf

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, 25 May 2008 (Khaleej Times) - The Society for Ex-Servicemen in its meeting attended by former services chifes, retired
generals and other senior [military] officers yesterday called for formation of a judicial council to investigate [Devil] Pervez Musharraf’s conduct as Army Chief and [illegal] president since 1998.

Lt. Gen. (retd) Asad Durrani, former ISI chief, talking to reporters after the meeting said the commission should probe events including Kargil war, military operations in Balochistan, Waziristan, Swat and Lal Masjid [Mosque], May 12 carnage in Karachi and the terrorist attacks on return of Benazir Bhutto and her assassination.

Musharraf’s role in all these happenings should be investigated to determine culpability.

Durrani said the meeting demanded that Musharraf must vacate the Army House in order to dispel the impression that the Army is backing his manipulations and intrigues against the new democratic order.

In a related development, the PML-N also released a chargesheet for Musharraf’s impeachment. These include subversion of Constitution, Kargil War, military operation, purge of judiciary and involvement in terrorist acts in Karachi and Islamabad.

USING THE SWORD TO SPREAD WESTERN VALUES

By: Abid Mustafa

Sunday, February 17, 2008

 

Take the example of the New World and its relationship with Afghanistan and Iraq. Liberation has become occupation; democracy has given way to colonial rule, devastation is termed as precision bombing and the slaughter of innocent Muslims is described as collateral damage. Meanwhile, American and British oil companies are queuing up to exploit the oil wells of Iraq and transport the energy reserves of the Caspian Sea to Europe via Afghanistan. 

Whenever western governments mention weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and Muslims in the same breath, the western media immediately breaks into wild frenzy warning its people that a catastrophic event of epic proportions is about to unfold.

Old European fables of Muslims spreading Islam by the sword are reinvented to convey the impression that Muslims are extremely dangerous, highly irresponsible and pay scant regard to human life. Hence the mantra of disarming Muslim countries of WMD has become the rallying cry of the West directed against the Muslim world.

In some cases the arguments are extended to justify the West’s ongoing policy of regime change in Syria, Iran and perhaps Pakistan. However, a close study of Islamic rule in the past contradicts the popular western myth that Muslims are bloodthirsty people anxious to wipe out the rest of mankind in the name of Islam.

The same however, cannot be said about the West. The West armed with its secular doctrine and materialistic world-view proceeded to exploit, plunder and colonise vast populations in order to control resources and maximise wealth.

In pursuit of these newfound riches the West succeeded in destroying civilisation such as the Incas, American Indians, Aztecs, and Aborigines. Those who survived colonisation were forcibly converted to Christianity, stripped of their heritage and sold into bondage to western companies. For the indigenous people of Africa, India, Asia, Middle East and others, the promises of freedom quickly evaporated and were replaced by colonial rule. Rather than show remorse towards such atrocities the West could only gloat at its achievements.

Technologies such as cannons, pistols, steam engines, machine guns, aeroplanes, mustard gas etc only hastened the acquisition of colonies and the exploitation of its people. Resistance offered by the natives towards their colonial masters was met by brute force – often resulting in the destruction of entire communities. When the West was not destroying the natives they were too busy annihilating each other in a desperate bid to cling on to their precious colonies. World Wars I and II are prime examples of the destructive nature of western values.

This is a description of the Old World where countries like England, France, and Germany built empires and accumulated immense wealth on the death and destruction of millions of innocent people. Is the New World (America leading the West) any different today?

Take the example of the New World and its relationship with Afghanistan and Iraq. Liberation has become occupation; democracy has given way to colonial rule, devastation is termed as precision bombing and the slaughter of innocent Muslims is described as collateral damage. Meanwhile, American and British oil companies are queuing up to exploit the oil wells of Iraq and transport the energy reserves of the Caspian Sea to Europe via Afghanistan.

The Islamic Khilafah in the past never treated mankind in such a barbaric fashion. Neither did the Khilafah spread Islam by force nor destroy civilisations. When Islam spread to Egypt, many Coptic Christians did not embrace Islam and today they still number approximately 7 million. Likewise, when India was opened up to Islam the inhabitants were not coerced into accepting Islam. India today has a population of more than 750 million Hindus.

Compare this to extermination of Muslim and Jews in the courts of the Spanish Inquisitors during the much-coveted European renaissance. Those Jews that survived this Spanish holocaust were warmly welcomed by the Ottoman Caliphate. In Islamic Spain they flourished and became important members of the Islamic society.

Today, the world has more to fear from the destructive nature of western values than WMD. In the past these values were enforced upon nations either through direct colonial rule or through tyrannical regimes loyal to the West. Presently, the greatest danger-facing mankind is the constant threat of the West imposing its values on the rest of the world through WMD.
