Crisis bigger than NRO

Writing in Jang Hamid Mir stated that, according to the Supreme Court judge Justice Javed Iqbal, if Pakistan was unable to solve the case of disappeared persons democracy will be endangered. The fact is that secret institutions became offended with Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry when he insisted that they produce before him the people they had in their custody. They started prejudicing Musharraf against him, something that finally led to the dismissal of the court.

According to Hamid Mir in Jang, Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry started reprimanding the secret agencies for not producing the disappeared persons. Military Intelligence Chief Major General Nadeem Ejaz was offended and tried to get him off the case in a special meeting. But when it didn't work, he started the campaign of proving to Musharraf that Justice Chaudhry was a threat to the government.

Disappeared persons are dead!

As revealed in Jang by Hamid Mir when Malik Qayyum was attorney general he got together with interior secretary Kamal Shah to ask the secret agencies to produce the disappeared person, especially the husband of Amna Masud Janjua before the Supreme Court. A very powerful officer told them that that the man was no longer alive. Qayyum insisted that he give it to him in writing as the wife will demand the dead body of her husband.

Powered by sugarcane juice

Writing in Jang Haroon Rashid noted that Pakistan had three centres of power: the Media, the lawyers and the judiciary. They would be okay as long as they remained within the ambit of their functions and did not trespass into other turfs. But if the judges, the lawyers and the journalists began to feed their egos on gannay ka ras (sugarcane juice) and some of then began to fish in shallow waters of personal profit, they will meet the same fate as the politicians.

Sindh card and dacoits

According to Nazir Naji in Jang when General Zia wanted to edge the PPP out of power after having hanged Bhutto he got his secret agencies not only to get the MQM to oppose the PPP but also to patronise the dacoits of Sindh to help the PPP rivals in the elections and make them win through intimidation.

Reality of Sindh card

Writing in Jang Nazir Naji stated that far from playing the Sindh card, the PPP had been the victim of it. Punjabi rulers have always relied on getting the Sindhi nationalists to oppose the PPP to get the upper hand. General Zia broke the PPP movement by getting the following Sindhi power elite to side against the PPP: Abdul Hafeez Pirzada, Mumtaz Bhutto, the Talpur Brothers, Abdul Majid Abid, Mehmood Haroon, GM Syed and even Hakim Ali Zardari. This could be about to be repeated.

Zia attacked Gilgit-Baltistan

Quoted in daily Pakistan Chief Minister Gilgit-Baltistan, Syed Mehdi stated that General Zia invaded Gilgit-Baltistan when he was in power and ISI chief General Hameed Gul sent lashkars into the region to sow the seeds of sectarian violence there, but Gilgit-Baltistan had the potential of providing 50 MW electricity to Pakistan. He said today in only two police station precincts in Gilgit sectarian violence was still to be seen.

Aitzaz Ahsan's tough livelihood

Writing in Jang Haroon Rashid stated that when Zardari asked barrister Aitzaz Ahsan to be his lawyer in the cases coming against Zardari, the barrister answered that he could not afford it because he had to work very hard (khoon pasina ek) to pay the fees of his children. On the other hand, the cases against Zardari would take 24 hours of his time daily. On this Zardari was surprised because he had set aside enough money for Aitzaz for the next century.

Pakistan's Kashmir dilemma

Columnist Nazir Naji wrote in Jang that if Pakistan didn't get rid of its terrorism it feared aggression from India and the rest of the world. But it can't get rid of terrorism till the Kashmir dispute with India is resolved. No government in Pakistan can end terrorism because the jihadi organisations doing terrorism are gaining public sympathy because of their jihad in Kashmir.

Syed Munawwar Hasan & Son

According to Jang Jamaat Islami chief Syed Munawwar Hasan has a daughter and a son, both living in Karachi, away from the battlefield of Afghanistan. Son Talha has done his masters from Karachi University and is in the real estate business. Hew has not paid attention to the villainy of the Americans in Afghanistan.

Qazi Husain Ahmad & Sons

According to Jang ex-chief of Jamaat Islami Qazi Husain Ahmad's son Asif Luqman has an MBA from America and is busy running his own business. Son Anas Qazi is a medical doctor and is practising in Peshawar. The two have not been sent to the war in Afghanistan despite Qazi Sahib's great passion for fellow Muslims there.

Maulana Samiul Haq & Sons

Writing in Jang Saleem Safi revealed that Maulana Samiul Haq the foremost defender of Afghanistan against America was twice married and had two sons and three daughters from first marriage while there were five more children from the second one. Son Maulana Haamidul Haq, a graduate of Punjab University who was elected MNA on MMA ticket, was heading Madrassa Haqqaniya in Nowshehra, while Irshadul Haq Haqqani, a haafiz of the Quran was editing monthly Al Haq. None of them was fighting in Afghanistan.

Maulana Fazle Karim & Sons

Daily Jang published information by Saleem Safi that Maulana Fazle Karim of JUP who hated America had a son Hamid Raza who was MA Islamiat and PhD in Business from UK and was planning a business venture. Second son Hasan Raza is studying at a college in Lahore while Hussain Raza was at GC University in Lahore. The Maulana had not thought of sending his sons to Afghanistan to fight the rascally Americans.

Maulana Fazlur Rehman & Sons

Seeking to know if the religious leaders of Pakistan who hate America have sent their sons into jihad in Afghanistan, columnist Saleem Safi wrote in Jang that of JUI Maulana Fazlur Rehman had three sons and four daughters. Son Asad Mehmood was undergoing education in Khairul Madaris in Multan, Son Anas Mehmood was taking religious training in DI Khan and third son Amjad Mehmood was busy memorising the Quran. None of them was fighting in Afghanistan.
