Damning indictment of govt inaction against militant bodies
|
[DAWN] ISLAMABAD: The inquiry commission on the Aug 8 Quetta carnage has called for banning terrorist organizations without any delay by enforcing the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) in letter and spirit.
Terrorist organizations must not be permitted to hold meetings and people must be informed about the reasons for banning such organizations, said the Justice Qazi Faez Isa-led commission in its 110-page inquiry report submitted to a three-judge Supreme Court bench headed by Chief Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali on Thursday.
The commission was formed by the Supreme Court on Oct 6 to investigate the Aug 8 suicide kaboom on Quetta’s Civil Hospital in which at least 74 people, mostly lawyers, had bit the dust.

The commission regretted that Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan
... Currently the Interior Minister of Pakistain. He is the senior leader of the Pak Moslem League (N) and a close aide to Nawaz Uncle Fester Sharif. He is noted for his vocal anti-American railing in the National Assembly. However (comma) Khan told the U.S. ambassador that he was in fact pro-American but he and the PML-N would have to be critical of US actions in order to remain publicly credible . Khan cited his wife and children's US citizenship as proof, which means he's lying to one side or the other and probably both.

organizations -- Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistain
...a Sunni Deobandi organization, a formerly registered Pak political party, established in the early 1980s in Jhang by Maulana Haq Nawaz Jhangvi. Its stated goal is to oppose Shia influence in Pakistain. They're not too big on Brelvis, either. Or Christians. Or anybody else who's not them. The organization was banned in 2002 as a terrorist organization, but somehow it keeps ticking along, piling up the corpse counts...

"ATA is equally applicable to public functionaries and they should not be cavorting with proclaimed members of banned organizations," the commission said, adding that hypocrisy must stop. There should be a nationwide streamlining of national policy and all government servants need to abide by it, or face the consequences.
The commission regretted that the interior ministry did not respond to two letters written by the Balochistan

vehicle on July 27 this year.
In response, the director general (counterterrorism) of the National Counter Terrorism Authority (Nacta) had on Sept 5 written to the Inter-Services Intelligence
...the Pak military intelligence agency that controls the military -- heads of ISI typically get promoted into the Chief of Army Staff position. It serves as a general command center for favored turban groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad, tries to influence the politix of neighboring countries, and carries out a (usually) low-level war against India in Kashmir...
(ISI), asking it to submit a comprehensive report on the veracity of the claims of attacks by Jamatul Ahrar and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi al-Almi so that they could be banned.
The commission was of the opinion that it was illogical for Nacta to seek verification from the ISI to ascertain whether the two organizations had carried out the attacks, particularly when both had grabbed credit.
It cited a testimony of the interior secretary who stated that Nacta had sought views and comments of the ISI and the Intelligence Bureau because they were the ones who knew in great detail about the activities of such organizations and "we would proscribe these organizations if they recommend so".
The commission suggested that acts committed by bandidos forces of Evil or those claimed by them should be listed and the list of banned organizations and individuals must be displayed in English and Urdu on websites of the interior ministry, Nacta, ministries of information and states and frontier regions and provincial home departments, and territories should be widely disseminated.
It regretted that the religion of Islam was being corrupted by turban ideology and stressed the need for reclaiming public space to counteract terrorists’ virulent propaganda.
"If Pakistain is to be a tolerant citadel of peace and interfaith harmony, then the laws and the Constitution have to be re-established," the report said.
The commission, which took 56 days to finalise the report, asked the state, which has receded in the face of those spreading hatred and murder, to re-exert itself. The solution to the menace of extremism and terrorism is straightforward ‐ abide by the laws, including ATA, Nacta Act, Pakistain Penal Code (PPC) and, above all, the Constitution.
Citing the 2012 Supreme Court judgement asking the federal and Balochistan governments to develop and maintain a databank of perpetrators and suspects of heinous crimes and bandidos forces of Evil organizations, including their names, aliases, parentage, addresses, photographs, thumb impressions, DNA, telephone numbers, weapons used, particular type of explosive used and their respective modus operandi, the commission regretted that nothing had been done in this regard.
It said the Nacta Act also required the authority to collate data and disseminate and coordinate between relevant stakeholders, but it had not done so.
It is crucial that all forensic laboratories being established purchase the same equipment as the PFSA (Punjab Forensic Science Agency), since it will ensure that results/tests are uploaded in a central databank and easily accessed from any province when required.
The commission stressed the need of registration of all educational institutions, including madaris; entry into and departure from Pakistain needs to be properly monitored and all persons must have the requisite documents and be photographed and thumb impressed by FIA personnel. The customs authorities must ensure that contraband is not brought into the country.
The report suggested that gun sex throughout the country be stopped and immediate criminal cases be instituted against those who resort to it. Likewise, law enforcement agencies must be directed not to resort to gun sex in the aftermath of terrorist attacks as it further terrorises the victims and dissuades doctors and emergency personnel to come forward to render first-aid and assistance.
Nacta must be activated and should do what its Act mandates. Periodic meetings of the board of governors and executive committee must be held. The National Action Plan should have clear goals, comprehensive monitoring mechanism and periodic reviewing. The commission suggested that the FC timely respond when asked for reinforcements.
The commission regretted that the media sometimes glorify bandidos forces of Evil while reporting terrorism cases. Journalists made no attempt to verify news before circulating and simply print what the terrorist dictated, albeit lies and completely disregarded the deaders who had been mercilessly killed by bandidos forces of Evil and the hurt they caused to their heirs, loved ones and friends, the commission said.
