| Indonesia suddenly becomes fluid... |
| 2002-10-20 |
| Islamic groups in Indonesia have decided to play a larger political role in the country in order to limit accusations against Islam in Indonesia, sources close to the Indonesian Mujahideen Council (MMI) told IslamOnline. I haven't seen that one before. Sounds like an analog to the MMA in Pakland... The source, known as âthe Sheikhâ, said the Islamic groups will follow the steps of the Laskar Jihad or the Jihad Force (JF) that disbanded itself on Wednesday last week, with several members joining its leader in forming Meaning they're going to get out of the overt terror business for awhile and into the subversion business... The Sheikh, a scientist close to detained Islamic leader Abu Bakar Basyir - who is the chairman of the MMI - told IslamOnline that three top politicians in the country has activated a mechanism that would bring the Muslim groups to abandon what he called âextreme acts, such as flag burning or the burning of American or Jewish targets in this country.â That would include Mr Vice President and Mr Speaker, and Mr Vice Speaker, I'd guess... He added that it was high time Islam played a greater political role and urged the Muslim parties and groups to ally into one coalition of Islamic parties and movements in order to face the 2004 general and presidential elections. Like they did in Pakland... The Sheikh said Basyir knew he would be arrested after the Bali blasts, adding that the aging leader warned other Islamic groups that âthe Indonesian government was under intense pressure to arrest popular and outspoken Islamic radicals and so called extremists in order to please the rest of the world that Indonesia is doing the right thing in the war against terror... Basyir now risks being sent to the US... for questioning and jailing since the directive to arrest him illico presto came from Washington and was given to the investigators who went to visit Omar Al-Faruq, the CIA agent captured and sent back to the US in June this year,â the Sheikh added. The "CIA agent" story already seems to be the party line. I wonder if anybody's buying it in Indonesia? âRemember, the U.S. has linked Basyir to the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) and has also said he was high on the list of suspected terrorists, right on top of the name of Osama Bin Laden,â the Sheikh said. Normally, they do things like that when they have evidence. Otherwise we tend not to hear about preachers in He dismissed the claims by the Indonesian government that there will be a backlash by local extremist groups after the arrest of Basyir. Does that mean they've written him off? Or is he really "sick," maybe from the effects of The Black Pill. If so, wonder if it was volunatarily administered? Of course, if he kicks it, our side can claim that God struck him dead for his sins. That should play well among the rubes... Immediately after the bombing the Islamic Defender Front (FPI) saw its leader Habib Rizieq Shihab detained at police headquarters. The governmentâs latest move is the arrest of Abu Bakar Basyir. Other leaders close to Basyir, the JF and the FPI are also the target of arrest under the grounds that they cooperated with their leaders to create chaos and treason in Indonesia. That does represent a turnaround... Informed sources say there is a rift in the regime of Megawati Sukarnoputri and that both the speaker of the National Assembly (MPR) and the Vice President Hamza Haz who are considered strong Islamic elements in the government, could be targets too. That would be the place to start, wouldn't it? The Sheikh who lives outside Indonesia currently, said he was just a close friend of Basyir during school days and never joined any organizations in his life. âI lead a simple life, and I do not condone bombings, however I do not believe Basyir was involved in any of the extremists activities in this country,â he said. "Nope. Nope. I'm just a simple cleric. He's just a simple cleric, too. We're both simple..." Basyir want to prove to the Indonesian government that he has nothing to do with violence in Indonesia and that such violence will continue while he is being detained because the authorities are targeting the wrong group in the fight against terrorism. Or because his gunnies demand he be sprung... |

| #10 Discontentment brews within PPPP. * Members upset over Jamali-Bijarani meeting * By Shaukat Piracha. ISLAMABAD: Discontentment is simmering among members of the Pakistan Peopleâs Party-Parliamentarians (PPPP) over a meeting of Mir Hazar Khan Bijarani with Prime Minister Zafarullah Khan Jamali. Party sources told Daily Times that the party leadership has taken note of the meeting and âthe party will seriously take up the violation of party discipline with Mr Bijarani.â The fresh wave of discontentment has engulfed parliamentarians after the party leadership failed to take action against Mr Bijarani for violating party discipline vis-Ã -vis contacts with top government functionaries. Mr Bijarani, a member of the National Assembly, held a meeting with Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali at Prime Minister House last Saturday without prior authorisation from the party leadership. âThis is sheer discrimination of the party leadership that disciplinary action is taken against a party member of the National Assembly (Zafar Warraich) who simply invites the chief minister to his daughterâs wedding and he is so haunted by the party that he has to resign from the National Assembly,â said a PPPP parliamentarian at the request of anonymity. âOn the other hand, a member of the National Assembly is so daring as to call on the prime minister, but no disciplinary action is taken against him,â said a PPP parliamentarian. Another parliamentarian from the party said that, âsuch actions (meeting with the PM) only bring into focus the inconsistencies of party policiesâ. Sources said that the issue of the meeting of Mr Bijarani with Premier Jamali was brought to the notice of Chairperson Benazir Bhutto on the same day and she took this violation extremely seriously. âBenazir Bhutto has advised the local leadership of the party to take up this issue with Mr Bijarani and it is expected that President PPPP Makhdoom Amin Fahim will make a final decision about how to deal with those who violate party discipline,â sources added. |

| #5 Non-Graduate Parliamentarians. Graduation Clause may hit heavy weights. KARACHI, Jan 25: The condition of graduation for contesting in the national and provincial assemblies' elections will put a large number of politicians in Sindh out of the political arena. Although the decision has been welcomed by people from all walks of life, except the urban-based political parties including the Muttahida Qaumi Movement and Jamaat-i-Islami, almost all the leading political parties, including the PPP and the PML, have criticized the government's decision. According to the PPP, there is no guarantee that a graduate member of the parliament will be a sincere representative of the masses than a non-graduate. A spokesman for the party, citing examples of the well-known social worker Abdul Sattar Edhi, asked how could he be a member of the assemblies after imposition of the condition, despite his being a renowned sympathizer of the people. A Jamaat-i-Islami spokesman welcomed the decision but opined that the minorities would be the ultimate looser due to the restoration of joint electoral system and because of the condition of graduation to be a criterion for contesting the polls. However, lauding the decision, the spokesman said it should have been taken much earlier, as there must be some set standards for the public representatives. "There is no match between the two members - the under-matriculate and the highly qualified one," he added. A survey shows that besides the PPP stalwarts, the graduation condition will put a large number of independent politicians in Sindh in an awkward situation. The political bigwigs of Thatta - Eijaz Ali Sherazi and the incumbent Nazim of Thatta, Shafqat Ali Shah Sherazi, more than two-time elected MNAs Babu Ghulam Hussain Memon and Ghulam Qadir Malkani - will not qualify the condition, while the heavyweight and the ever-winning candidate from Dadu, Kotri and Sehwan, Malik Asad Sikandar is also a non-graduate. According to observers, Malik Asad Sikandar will suffer more as his brothers are so young that he will have to place his friend Pir Bux Khaskheli in the forefront. Twice-elected MNA from Dadu, Haji Mohammad Bux Jamali, is too a non- graduate politician. Sardar Babul Khan Jakhrani, Agha Ghulam Ali Buledi, Sardar Sher Mohammad Bijarani, Hakim Ali Sundarani, Sundar Khan Sundarani,Mir Mehran Khan Bijarani Sardar Manzoor Khan Panhwar, Sardar Saleem Jan Mazari and Ali Nawaz Shehlani - the heavyweights of Jacobabad district - are also non-graduates, leaving the political field open for , Naseer Khoso, Muqeem Khoso, Mir Imran Khan Bijarani, Mir Hazar Khan Bijarani, Eijaz Jakhrani, Sudham Chand and Mir Hassan Khoso to show their muscles. The political field in Shikarpur district is also open for the new-comers as the bigwigs of the district, Sardar Himmat Kumario, Babul Khan Bhayyo, Moulana Abdullah Pahor and Siraj Shah Amroti, are reportedly non-graduates. The linchpin of election politics of Ghotki district, Sardar Ali Gohar Khan Mahar, is also a non-graduate, while Ahmed Yar Shar, Raheem Bux Bozdar and Mian Mitho also do not qualify the new condition. A similar situation is being witnessed in district Sukkur as Ghulam Mustafa Bozadar, Maulana Murad Halejvi also fall in the list of non-graduates. Come to the Khairpur district, where Abdul Qadir Jeelani, Bashir Bhaban, Faqir Bakht Heesbani, Mohammad Ali Bhaban and Pir Gul Shah also fall in the category of non-graduates, clearing the way for Qaim Ali Shah, Ghous Ali Shah, Zafar Bilal, Javed Shah, Pervez Ali Shah, Naeem Kharal, Manzoor Wassan, Sadruddin Shah and Raja Sain to continue their politics without any hurdles. The hard-boiled and time-tested politicians of Mirpurkhas and Tharparkar districts - Noor Mohammad Shah Jeelani, Mir Hayyat Talpur, Khair Mohammad Bhurgari, Ghulam Mohammad Khaskheli, Ghulam Mohammad Lat, Gul Mohammad Memon, Jadam Mangrio, Arbab Amir Hassan, Arbab Ataullah, Syed Mardan Shah - also do not qualify the condition. The Jatoi family of Naushehro Feroze seems to be lucky as all the active political figures of the area, including Ghulam Mustafa Jatoi, his sons and nephew are educated. Syed Zafar Ali Shah, Murad Ali are also highly-educated personalities of their constituencies, while Rahmatullah Beehan and Raza Mohammad Dahri are reportedly non-graduates. Ghafoor Nizamani, Bashir Halepoto and Mir Allah Bux Talpur of Badin district also fall in the list of non-graduates, paving the way for Fahmida Mirza and other new-comers, while Abdus Sattar Bachani and Latif Mangrio are also non-graduates.-PPI |

| #4 Persecution in Pakistan. Living in fear By Imdad Soomro 24 Apr 2003 The Hindu communities in Sindh are victims of the terrible law and order situation which remains under the control oflocal influentials, writes Imdad Soomro. Khahi, a city near Shikarpur, once a business hub of the Hindu community in Sindh, is now deserted. "The city was known for its flourishing business of cotton and cloth materials, when the local businessmen used to trade with the neighbouring cities of Jacobabad and Sukkur," reminisced an 80-year-old resident of the area. Along with this one time peaceful city there are many others nearby, inhabited by the Hindu community, which have lately been targeted by dacoits, patharidars and robbers, forcing most to leave their ancestral homes and property for safer areas. For the residents of upper Sindh, especially Hindus, these are terrible times. In the hub cities of this community - Jacobabad, Thul, Kashmore and Shikarpur - you will find a majority of the community all set to leave their native cities. "Most of us want to shift to bigger cities now," says Bacha Ram Sewhani, a naib president of the Hindu panchayat Jacobabad. He was robbed a week ago in the middle of the city. Having lived for centuries in Sindh, the Hindu community now feels victimized. "Only in the last four months, some 25 people of our community have been kidnapped in the Thul, Kashmore and Kandhkot talukas of Jacobabad district," says Ramesh Laal, a rice mill owner. For safety, the Hindu business community living in these areas relies on, and is at the mercy, of the sardars. It was disclosed that the Hindu businessmen pay dunn (a sort of ransom) to the influential sardars of the area. "We have no other way of protecting ourselves except to pay dunn to the sardars of several tribes," confessed Laal. In Thul, almost 80 per cent of the business conducted by Hindus is carried out in collaboration with the sardars. Many sardars also receive financial assistance from Hindu seths during elections, this serves as a reciprocity that also ensures their security. Last year, a Hindu seth Ashok Kumar of Rohri was kidnapped by a dozen dacoits and released only after a deal was struck with an influential of the area. "We possess no weapons, and have no strong baradari (tribe). How can we be protected without the cooperation of local sardars?" questioned a young Hindu seth who wishes to remain anonymous. Though the law and order situation has affected everyone living in the area, it is particularly bad for the Hindu community because it has left their homes and businesses vulnerable. "They are both socially and financially insecure," says Eshaware Laal, president of the Hindu panchayat in Sukkur. But he sees hope and feels optimistic about the joint electorate system. "We will have elected representatives who will surely address the grave dangers we are facing," he adds. The first shocking incident of kidnapping occurred in the year 2000 near Kashmore, in which 12 women including two from the Hindu community, were kidnapped by the gang of the notorious dacoit Kamal Fakeer Shaikh. As a matter of respect to women, it is widely believed that even dacoits in Sindh bow their heads before the women and never allow gang-members to insult them. Paro Chandio, a renowned dacoit during General Zia's time, was well known for his treatment of women. He held them in the samerespect as that of a mother or sister. He also helped finance several poor families with their daughters' marriages. In the Kashmore kidnapping incident all the Muslim women were released but the two young Hindu women of Thul were kept in the panahgah (hiding place). The Sukkur divisional administration during the time, reportedly intervened and 'pressurized' the then PML MPA Sandra Saleem Jan Mazari and Chief Sardar Sunder Khan Sunderani who went into the forest for the girls' recovery. "The Hindu women were freed after paying a heavy ransom," an insider disclosed. This was the first ever incident of its kind in the history of such dacoities, that have taken place in Sindh and they caused anguish to the Hindu community throughout Sindh. "I have only one remorse and feel guilty that those women were kept in my hiding place," confessed Kamal Fakeer, who was arrested recently in Thatta district. While talking to local reporters he exposed that it was not him who kidnapped the women, but another gang had been responsible for the kidnapping and they had handed them over to him (Fakeer). After the frightening incident, many families opted to migrate to India to their relatives and many others left for Karachi, Hyderabad and Sukkur. "There are visa problems these days, but once they are resolved we will have no other alternative but to leave," said Kishan Laal, general secretary Hindu panchayat, Jacobabad. He alleged that it is the sardars who foster these dacoits and criminals. "But the locals and neighbours are our friends and they are there with us in trying times,"he maintained. "Cases of robberies and kidnappings have increased nowadays," said Babu Maheesh, president of the Hindu community and a businessman. "The administration and police are cooperating with us but we still face great difficulties." He said everyone suffers from the difficult situation of law and order in these parts of the district but the Hindu community has beenparticularly targeted. There is a need for mutual support and understanding of the local influentials if peace is to prevail otherwise the situation could worsen. |

| #2 nternational University of America,London "Beware" I was shocked to learn that anyone can purchase a degree, Bachelorâs or Masterâs from online dubious universities without having to complete the course of study for as much as 3000 pound sterlings. Some of our unscruplous politicians grabbed this golden opportunity and bought their way into the august house such as National Assembly of Pakistan. Corruption is always linked to third world countries like Pakistan. however, In this "SCAM" of selling fake degrees, entities belonging to countries like USA, Canada, UK & Great Britain are involved. International University of America is one of such dubious online university conferring degrees to individuals without verifying their previous record of education. IUA has issued Bachelors degrees to people who have not even finished high school. IUA claims that they are operating in Australia, Great Britain, Canada and USA, it is further claimed by this university that degrees awarded by them are recognised/accredited by the departments of education in all of the above mentioned countries, which is totally misleading and incorrect. Some of the Parliamentarians have alreday been disqualified for producing dubious/fake degrees acquired from such universities and cases of others are being proceeded in the Election Tribunals constituted by the Election Commission of Pakistan. IUA does not exist in the United States of America, Canada and Australia. It was operating from a flat in London but since the official inquiry has begun, IUA has shut down their operation and moved from their previous address. IUA has also closed their web site to avoid legal repercussions. The Higher Education Commission of Pakistan too does not recognise this university or qualifications awarded by them. This article is purely in public interest so that innocent education seekers are not robbed and fraudsters brought to the book. [Defs,uk, deus and Australia] |
