Diverting the nation’s attention. Pakistani Media

Yet the nizam-e-adl wasn’t enforced and the media of Pakistan was strongly supporting the law by declaring it the will of the people of SWAT and Malakand agency and supported the nizam-e-adl. The stance of the NWFP government was over confident at that moment and they were continuously supporting the soofi mohammed as a guarantor and shacked hands with the Taliban’s with a treaty that they wont resist armed force and give up arms after enforcement of Nizam-e-adl. Media was pro these talks and showed a strong support for the treaty between government of Pakistan and a banned outfit TTP.

But the situation became critical when the TTP (Tahreek-e-Taliban Pakistan) refused to give up arms and continued their strategy for capturing as much as land in the name of nizam-e-adl. The treaty became broken and Taliban stepped out of malakand and killed people and challenged the writ of the government and the whole nation asked for an operation against Taliban’s.

The Armed forces Pakistan approach’s the insurgence areas of NWFP affected by Taliban and started an operation against them and whole nation supported this act by the armed forces against Taliban’s. According to the sources above 700 miscreants got killed in the operation and millions of people migrated from swat to different save areas of NWFP.As a common outcome of every operation for the sovereignty of Pakistan.

The United Nations refugee agency UNHCR is airlifting tonnes of additional emergency supplies to northwest Pakistan to help cope with the unfolding humanitarian disaster there The fighting has sparked a civilian exodus from the former tourist destination. In recent days 360,000 people have left their homes and in all about 500,000 are expected to flee, joining about 600,000 people displaced earlier from Swat and other areas . not only from UNHCR the whole nation is supporting the swat effected people and tents is being provided to the people and food and rest of the things as well.

At first the media supported operation against Taliban’s and condemned activities of Taliban’s. But when people get affected of the operation and start migrating from the effected areas of NWFP , first media started asking for aid and help for people of swat but on the other hands condemning the operation under the table. Yellow journalism is being proved and some anchors are portraying it bad bad and bad. Accusing the armed forces for the situation of Muhajir camps and declaring the operation in swat not in favor of the people.

The media is again changing its motive like they changed on Lal Mosque dispute and now again blaming the armed forces for lack or administrative issue’s in muhaijir camps and by criticizing the army showing the whole nation what is really happening there in muhajir camps people are suffering things which is true in fact but this own media yelled when the Taliban’s were coming into other parts of the country and asked the Army to take an immediate action against Taliban this double standard journalism is leading country no where but in turmoil and some yellow journalist are now again diverting the attention of the nation from Taliban’s to the people who got effected of this operation and by doing that they are derailing national spirit of the nation against Taliban’s.

Dir : TNSM, TTP and Jamat-e-Islami

They were 50 people who became victim of the suicide attack. 36 people were killed in a suspected car bomb attack Sixteen people were injured in the blast believed to have been carried out to disrupt the by-election for a National Assembly. It was apparently a suicide attack,” DSP Arsala Khan said, adding: “The bomber detonated his explosive-laden car parked near camps set up by different parties in front of the school in Shalbandi village, 5kms from the district headquarters of Daggar. Buner, which is adjacent to the Swat valley. According to witnesses, the bomber was about 18 years old and he was wearing a Chitrali cap. A large number of voters were present at the camps when the blast took place.

Finely the dust settled and Tehrik-e-taliban Swat claimed responsibility for the attacks, which left 36 people dead and sixteen badly wounded. The act was declared revenge by the talibans of their six people who got killed four month ago. ANP wins the elections in major parts of dir and swat and the party due to its secular status.

The banned Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) has reactivated its cadres and taken to the streets in the Districts of Dir, Malakand and Swat, using FM channels to whip up fundamentalist sympathy and jihadi sentiments. The Jamaat-e-Islami (JEI) has a strong presence in the Districts of Upper and Lower Dir and runs about 30 FM radio channels that advocate jihad in Kashmir and Afghanistan.

At least three major jihadi groups maintain their liaison and recruitment offices in the Timergara area of Lower Dir District. These include the JEI Jamat-e-Islami backed Hizbul Mujahideen (HM), former JI affiliate Al Badr Mujahideen, now re-named as Al Suffa Foundation, and the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LET), now known as Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JUD). Other jihadi organisations that have representatives in the Timergara and Warai areas of Dir include the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JEM), which now calls itself Al Rahman Trust, the Harkat-ul-Ansar (HUA), the Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HUM) and a Kashmiri group called the Pasban Millat.

By using Jamat-e-Islami FM radios which has helped the jihadi sentiments to preach people for jihad has now again became a tool for terrorism, with the Collision TTP which has itself accepted many suicide bomb attacks in Lahore, Islamabad and NWFP and in

Many other parts of the country was demanding Nizam-e-adl in the region which was being approved by the President of Pakistan Mr Asif ali Zardari with a treaty that taliban would stop their activities will give up weapons and they wont march into any other part of the country.

Yet the treaty isn’t being fulfilled by the talibans , and soofi mohammed declared Parliament , Courts and other institutes of Pakistan un Islamic . Which left nation in grieved concern. On the other hand TTP spokesman Haji Muslim khan said they would not give up arms and would prolong their activities to the other parts of the Country.

Tahrik-e-Taliban Pakistan backed up by the Jamat-e-Islami Ameer Syed Munawwar Hassan . Declared the talibans government in Afghanistan the most peaceful government in the history of the world and there’s no need to be shocked at his statement, we know the former relationship of soofi mohammed with Jamat-e-islami that he did contested Election on Jamat-e-islami ticket and left politics when he finely realized its un Islamic.

Burqa Terrorist Bailed and welcomed.


Another surprising event took place after nizam-e-adl regulation. It seems like Pakistan government has started changing its policies regarding terrorism and militancy just after nizam-e-adl acceptance. Pakistan’s supreme court has bailed a Mastermind of lal mosque dispute Maulana aziz on Wednesday granted bail to the deposed chief cleric of Islamabad's radical Red Mosque, who was captured two years ago during a bloody siege. Aziz had siege the lal mosque and confronted the armed forces of Pakistan in which his brother got killed. Challenged the writ of the government and killed many army officers as well.

The Government forces besieged and stormed the mosque in July 2007, Killing more then 100 militants of al-qaida and different militant organization as they were allegedly holed up inside the building and an adjacent girls school. When he saw that he has now no time to have some settlements with Government as the Government had given them chances to give up, and surrender, he tried to escape along with 4 more girls of madarrsa and was arrested wearing a burqa.

The supreme court of Pakistan has released on surety bond worth 200,000 rupee’s. he was accused of abetting the seizure of a children’s library near the red mosque. The mosque operation unleashed a wave of revenge suicide attacks across Pakistan that has left more then 1,850 People dead. Militants said to be loyal to the Red Mosque have been blamed for some of those attacks, especially a number of blasts in Islamabad, although most have been attributed to Pakistani Taliban rebels

MQM's Stands Firm.

MQM shows no fear and is now a days openly drawing attention of the people of Pakistan, media and other political allies on creeping talibanisation . MQM the only political party criticized and walked out of the parliament in protest. They said they aren’t against Islam as they are Muslims as well. But according to constitution of Pakistan there cant be 2 judicial law in Pakistan. And the current constitution isn’t against Islam. Their recent press conference on Nizam-e-adl is not shocking to the liberal forces of Pakistan including the human rights, civil society and other political parties representative. Other political parties are restricted to show their concerns but we have heard many individual voices throughout the whole Pakistan people are not in favor of this Nizam-e-adl.

People are a bit scared of talibans as TTP Spokesman Haji Muslim khan has threatened parliamentarians indirectly. But MQM stands firm on their rules and regulations. No fear to religious extremism and no shariya, which belongs to only Hanifi laws of islam. As there are many other sects, which have their own beliefs and practices.

The parliament has accepted TTP demand by allowing Nizam-e-adl . Militants who has killed policemen in Lahore and which are involved in suicide bombing mosques and killing torturing people who are muslims as well and several other cases. It was declared nizam-e-adl won’t be imposed till true peace comes in swat and till talibans wont give up weapons.

Despite of the Manawa attacks and several suicide attacks on Mosques, gatherings and Armed forces of Pakistan the so called liberal political parties like PPP, ANP, PML-N and PML-Q has given support to this nizam-e-adl in Malakand division, swat and its nearby region. And has lost support of the liberal voters of nation. ANP has revoked its manifesto and went against the teachings of Ba’cha khan of never surrender in front of ill and bad. So is for the PPP their leader Mohtarma baynazeer Bhutto said there are people in Tribal areas that are responsible for insurgency in Pakistan and she said she wouldn’t tolerate these militants creating insurgency in Pakistan. Nawaz Shareef connections with Al-Qaida and taliban is not hidden with anyone is still continue with Zia’s strategy of making Afghanistan 5th province and has support to these militants and talibans.

Yesterday attack on charsaddah after nizam-e-adl in swat is a question itself. Agencies recovered body and the person got arrested is from swat. Yesterday Soofi mohammed spokesman said taliban has given up arms. But the TTP spokesman denied to give up arms and declared that they would prolong this movement to other parts of Pakistan and arms is prestige of Muslims.

MQM’s growing support in Pakistan against Talibanization is increasing day by day. Their liberal politics for the people of Pakistan suits to the environment of prosperity and development. They have pointed out very important points of the future of Pakistan if we will allow these militants taking over our areas in the name of islam. There are various examples in islam that Our prophet peace be upon him and his campaignions never imposed islam and shariya by force. A common moderate muslim wont accept talibans forced islam . Islam is what Mohammed peace be upon has preached. Not what soofi mohammed and baitullah mehsud has imposed by guns and shells.


ANP misusing the Mandate

ANP (Awami National Party) came up as a main stake holder for NNWFP in 2008 elections,
While announcing their manifesto, Asfandyar Wali said that Awami National Party would make efforts for the establishment of a peaceful, liberal, progressive and moderate society in the country.
Now in NWFP they have accepted the sharia of religious extremism, and hence they are betraying the people of NWFP who gave them vote for a peacefull and liberal enviroment in the province. On the other hand ANP is continousily backing and providing a safe entrance to Talibans inside Karachi, and we have seen the result when an action was about to taken against them, they created a mess in the city and gave all the scenario and ethnic look.
ANP chief in Karachi, Shahi Syed creating cast difference in Karachi and gaining his political interest. One should think that if ANP believe in the prosperity and progress of pushtoon then why did they shake hands with talibans and destroying all the hopes of innocent citizens of SWAT and other tribal Areas.
The truth is, that ANP has got the support of Anti Islam and Anti Pakistan forces and with their support they got a mandate and now they are abiding the promises which they maked with Extrmists but not with the innocent people of NWFP.
Today In parliament no one is opposing the demand of Pakhtoons for giving NWFP a new name, but still ANP not looking serious for its own province, that shows that ANP is not for the prosperity of Pushtoon but the prosperity of Religious Extremists.
Pakhtoons of Pakistan will have to realize that ANP is using their name to gain their political interests and ANP was never serious for the peaceful, liberal, progressive and moderate society in the country.

Champion Kidnaper.


Critics isn't one of my hobbies but people think my critic on different issue is something unnecessary for the society. But Criticism is a part of speech and people has yet not realized what really freedom of speech means.

Well this isn’t reason I am writing this blog . Today morning I heard in the new’s that after politician’s sportsmen have also started a campaign to defame the country’s charm. A Former Karate Asian champion from murdan and swat was arrested and the act was kidnapping the high profile merchants of Kharadar Karachi.

The abducted four people including two cloth merchants were recovered in a joint operation carried out by Anti-Violent crime cell and CPLC, The cloth merchants were abducted from khayaban-e-shehbaz DHA on March 14.2009 and demanded a ransom of RS 50 million for their release. Which became RS 5 Million in the end with a threat if there will be no money provided the abducted merchants would be slaughtered. Imran’s father Haji Zakir Rangeela president of katiana memon jamat is a known Personality. And the case was registered at gizri police station and AVCC is now investigating case.

Dispute like kidnapers from swat in Karachi can be alarming to the law enforcement agencies in Pakistan. Now these agencies should have a wide look whatever has happened in current and past do they have some links with the frontier or not?. A Champion turned Kidnapper in Pakistan is a slap on the faces of those who think there isn’t an extremism and criminal activity in SWAT. There should not be any doubt in any person’s mind that Swat and region of Northwest frontier province has become an institute of criminology and promoting extremism for any militancy.

Taliban ask NGOs to Leave Swat.

The Shariya law is been implemented on SWAT and its nearby region and peace process is at its beginning. People of SWAT has highest hope’s that the shariya law will bring easy and cheap justice. In fact its just a dream yet. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has virtually imposed a ban on all the non-governmental organizations (NGO) working in the Swat Valley, as it has asked them to leave the region immediately. This doesn’t came into my head why NGO’s aren’t allowed to work there in SWAT. Islam doesn’t forbids helping others and providing medication to those who needs it. The other thing i thought may be these NGO’s are working against Islam and the other moment I realized helping out others and medication isn’t something against Islam or against Islamic Law’s.

But TTP Tahreek-e-Taliban Pakistan has said the way of working of the NGO’s was against Islam and it is not acceptable to it.“NGO is another name for vulgarity and obscenity. They hire women who work with men in the field and in offices. This is totally un-Islamic and unacceptable,” TTP spokesman, Muslim Khan said.

Khan strongly opposed the presence of foreigners in the region.” They come and tell us how to make lavatories in mosques and houses. I’m sure we can do it ourselves. There is no need for foreigners to tell us this,” The Daily Times quoted Khan, as saying. When asked that why the Taliban has been opposing the polio vaccination, Khan said: “It (vaccination) causes infertility.” A Men who doesn’t know what really polio vaccination has to do with children’s does know its has drawback as infertility.

Then the real concern came out .the major reason why the Taliban was against the vaccination is that the vaccines were manufactured in foreign countries, perhaps that spokesperson of taliban doesn’t know the money they are using for terrorism and the weapons they are using and the bomb are also foreign made they didn’t made it their self. If they are really so much self made so they should give up fighting with these foreign made ammunition and supplies and money. And should fight for their so-called rights and culture with 550 AD swords.

Talibanisation in karachi



If Karachi is being ‘Talibanized,’ Pakistan is in real trouble, and so is everyone else.
Many Pakistanis make little distinction between al-Qaida and the Taliban. Both want to destabilize Pakistan and Afghanistan, establish an even bigger base of operations and spread their aggressive, intolerant vision of Islamic law. The majority of people in Karachi want no part of it. Karachi is Pakistan’s economic capital, the center of the nation’s fashion, high-tech and media industries.Estimates of Karachi’s population range from 12 to 18 million. The lack of accountability makes the city a great place to hide.

Due to increase in the activities of terrorism the country is going towards anarchy and it is the need of time that all political, religious parties and whole nation should unite against this menace and fight against it jointly.

Pakistan is passing at a very critical juncture when whole country is in the garb of terrorism, suicide bombing and explosion have become daily routine. At some places the security and police personnel and some other places innocent citizens including men, women, (young and old) and children are being targeted and given blood bath. The innocent mothers, sisters and daughters are being made widows/ orphans.

Many Religious and political parties deny the fact that there is Talibanisation in Karachi but there are some proofs

Even the Taliban's commander claims that there is strong network of Taliban in Karachi. In Karachi Shopkeepers were frightened and harassed after being received warnings to close down their businesses from Taliban's. Taliban's hanged banners in Medina Electronics Market and Ittefaq CD Market situated in Banaras Chowk to close down the markets.They also started Robing people and beating anyone who wears "Pant shirt".

But still our government, political and religious parties seems to be blind on this issue.

Qazi still not satisfied


Leader of Jamat e Islami, Mr Qazi hussain said on 19 March 2009 that long march was a failure. Now when the government has announced the restoration of deposed Judges specially Mr. Iftikhar, and whole nation is now a bit more relaxed not beacuse of the restoration, but cause of the bloodshed avoided by this popular decision by the govenrment it is not the first time we have seen Jamat e Islami going against the wind and creating issues from no where.
Calling it a complete failure has created some sort of disturbance once again in some minds and a common man is still confused what to happen next.
The question is, now when all are satisfied, why this Jamat e Islami is shouting about the issues which have no significance among the people. May be or it must be the guilt which they felt now by not taking the part in 2008 elections, cause as long as the present government runs, Jamat e Islami and other parties which boycott the elections would feel more guilt and ashamed of them seleves by not taking the part in 2008 historic elections.
May God bless Pakistan specially the province of Punjab which has been on the spot light from last 6 months as many politicians are trying to destabilzing the government and destabilizing Punjab could be very fruitful for such elements.

Obama’s global image & Pakistan


Balochistan Chief Minister Muhammad Aslam Raisani has said drone attacks in Balochistan will tarnish President Barack Obama’s global image.

“We do not have to panic about published reports about possible drone attacks. I will soon meet the American ambassador to convey our concerns to her. This issue would be brought to the attention of President Asif Ali Zardari and Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi as well,” the Daily Times quoted him, as saying.

Raisani also claimed that Taliban leader Mullah Omar is hiding in Kandahar (Afghanistan), and not in Balochistan.

“If we are given any information about the presence of Taliban leaders, we will operate against them ourselves,” he said.

Raisani said he was not present during the meeting between US Ambassador to Pakistan Anne Patterson and Balochistan Governor Nawab Zulfiqar Magsi.

Referring to his efforts as a mediator between the PPP and the PML-N, Raisani said governor’s rule in Punjab would likely end in a few days.

He said former Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif still enjoyed the support of a majority in the province.

No Indian involvement in Lahore attack: Sri Lanka


Colombo: Ending speculations in some quarters in Pakistan, Sri Lanka on Monday firmly said there was "no Indian involvement" in the terror attack on its cricketers in Lahore last week but said the Tamil rebellions could be involved.

"There is no Indian involvement (in the attack on cricketers in Lahore)," Foreign Minister Rohitha Bogollagama told reporters.

"In fact, India has been helping us in our fight against terrorism. We have conveyed this to Pakistan," he said, adding that Islamabad investigating the attack has promised "an interim report on the investigation next week".

A team of 12 terrorists ambushed and sprayed bullets and fired rocket propelled grenades at the convoy carrying Sri Lankan players to the Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium. The cricketers were to play the third day of the second and last Test against the host Pakistan Tuesday last week.

Seven players and the team's assistant coach were injured and six Pakistani police officials, who were providing protection to the bus carrying the players, were killed in the attack that shook the entire cricketing world.

Minister Bogollagama, however, maintained Sri Lanka's stand that the Tamil Tiger rebels' involvement in this attack cannot be ruled out.

"We are not ruling out links (of the attack) with the (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam) LTTE. The LTTE are known to have links with international terrorist groups. Our initial suspicions are on the LTTE," Bogollagama said.

Sri Lanka's middle-order batsmen Thilakaratne Dilshan, who narrowly survived without injuries in the Lahore terror attack, has said the security cover for the two-match Test series was relatively relaxed when compared to the one-dayers they played in Pakistan a month before.

ANP’s Guns and Roses.

The National reconciliation between different political parties now days is the most prominent thing in country. ANP, which has gained two provincial seats in sindh, has changed the political scenario of Karachi and Sindh. Its almost impossible for other parties to do their campaign in in ANP’s dominated or occupied areas in Karachi.

An armed confrontation by the ANP activists on a rally of other political party . The clash took place at kati pahari close to shahrah-e-noor jahan police station on Wednesday evening. As the SHO abdul wahid said the clash erupted between MQM and Awami National party (ANP) workers when the MQM workers, Who were carrying out a rally , Stated putting up party flags in the area. When the clash erupted, heavy contingents of law enforcers reached the scene; however, they were unable to diffuse the situation as firing continued for hours in the area. As a result of the firing, four law enforcement personnel including ASI Zulfiqar, police constable Sher Ali, a Rangers’ personnel, Saleem, and three MQM workers sustained bullet wounds. The injured were taken to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital.

This situation is nothing new in Karachi. The ANP dominated areas are almost no go area’s for other political parties. The media and majority TV channels in Pakistan exposed their real face. When they were asking media to give them proper coverage and ANP activist opened fire on the scene .

Talibans are established. President Pakistan

NEW YORK: The Taliban has established itself across a large part of Pakistan, forcing the country to fight a war against the hardline group that is about Pakistan's own survival, President Asif Zardari told CBS News.

‘(The Taliban) do have a presence in huge amounts of land in our side. Yes, that is the fact,’ Zardari told ‘60 Minutes’ in an interview to be broadcast on Sunday, excerpts of which were released on Friday.

US President Barack Obama said this week there was no doubt terrorists were operating in safe havens in the tribal regions of Pakistan, and the United States wanted to make sure Islamabad was a strong ally in fighting that threat.

Obama and Zardari spoke by telephone on Wednesday, the Pakistani foreign ministry said. The two discussed the surge in violence by al Qaeda and the Taliban, which has stepped up its insurgency against US forces and the Afghan government.

Zardari said Pakistan had been in denial about the Taliban in the past. ‘Our forces weren't increased .... We have weaknesses and they are taking advantage of that weakness,’ he said.

‘We're not doing anybody a favor,’ Zardari said. ‘We are aware of the fact it's ... Taliban... trying to take over the state of Pakistan’.

‘So, we're fighting for the survival of Pakistan. We're not fighting for the survival of anybody else.’

Zardari rejected suggestions that he lacks the full support of the military and intelligence services, saying he was confident they were behind him.

‘If that wasn't the case, then Islamabad would have fallen because obviously if the army doesn't do its job, these men are not restricted. They've blown up the Marriott Hotel before. They've attacked us inland before. They would be all around us, wouldn't they?’ he said.

Destabilizing Policy of PML-N


After two years of political insurgency the long march for the rule of the law and independence of judiciary has ended. The Prime Minister of Pakistan himself has reinstated the deposed judges along with iftikhar mohammed chaudry and Government has also endorsed a review on disqualification of Miyan mohammed nawaz shareef .

The dust is not yet settled as the Former Law minister of Punjab stated while he was addressing the media on Tuesday warning the Governor Punjab Rana Sana Ullah said if the Fed Govt would not lift Governor rule from Province Punjab then PML-N members of the provincial parliament along with workers and activist would launch another march and besiege of Governor house Punjab.

This hypocrite political action of PML-N is leading country no where, but only in Destabilizing process of democracy in Pakistan. Which has came to Pakistan after a long period . The party should show their majority to end the governor rule in Punjab rather then challenging the writ of the Government and literally threatening a Government office bearer to leave his office. Which is truly a undemocratic way.

Taliban supporter's Tehreek-e-Insaaf.

January 25, 2008

Imran Khan has met with Harry Reid and other US politicians to rally support for his anti Musharraf movement. He also spoke at the Harvard Club in New York."After meeting Mr Khan, Senator Reid called for the US President, George Bush, to to consider reducing non-development aid to Pakistan if the upcoming elections were not free and fair". Khan's party is planning to tell people to stay away from the Pakistani elections According to a PR put out by his party in 2003:

"Reacting to Gen. Musharraf's claim that the politicians criticizing his
policies know nothing about policy and national interests he challenged General Musharraf to live TV debate on national issues and let the people decide. The PTI Chief stated in the 80s the West sanctified Jihad and we proudly pursued it as an instrument of state policy. Today, Jihad is being portrayed as terrorism by the establishment on the directives of the West.

http://www.insaf.org.pk/press/2003Jan/press_release_2004Apr04.htm

Imran Khan's instigation of last years Koran flush rumor riots have earned him his street creds by the Taliban supporting MMA. Khan's new partnership of his party Tehrik-e- Insaf together with the pro Taliban MMA prove that his transformation from Westernised millionaire playboy crickeer to radical Islamist 'fundi' is now complete. His divorce from UK born billionaire's daughter wife may have to do with the fact that Khan's new cronies believe that women belong in burqas locked up at home, and his ex's Jewish father was considered a political liability.

It was Imran Khan, the anti Musharraf politician, called a press conference to draw attention to the Koran flushing rumor. He was a recent speaker at the Islamist Conference in Toronto entitled "Reviving the Islamic Spirit". Muslims returning to the US from the conferences are suing the DHS for 'profiling' after being fingerprinted and interrogated at the border .

Poster for the "Reviving the Islamic Spirit" conference Sheikh Yusuf, Suwaidan, Khaled, singer Yusuf and Khan

The Oxford educated ex cricketer/playboy who was married to a Jewish billionaire's daughter, Jemima Khan, and became a 'born again Muslim' as a result of the Rushdie affair . Khan recently divorced his wife (who is now dating actor Hugh Grant), and formed a political party Tehreek - e- Insaaf, and reinvented himself as an anti Western 'man of the people' advocating the overthrow of Musharref and the establishment of an Islamic welfare state in Pakistan. Khan has a lot to gain from formenting unrest among the masses in Pakistan, which could lead to a popular uprising fueled by anti American sentiment and result in the collapse of Musharref's American backed government. His broadcasting of the false Koran story was a deliberate attempt to incite protests, and garner publicity for himself and his party.

His ex wife helped organize a protest in London against Musharraf's government.

http://www.rediff.com/news/2007/nov/19pakemergency3.htm

MIM: In 2004 Khan spoke in an interview ;

"... about the anger in the Muslim world caused by the US campaign against Afghanistan.

He said: "The government actually is very close to the US right now. The problem is that the US policy, the foreign policy is causing resentment not only in Pakistan, but in most of the Muslim world."

"Unless that foreign policy is changed I always feel that the citizens of the United States will become targets. They haven't done anything to alleviate this hatred. The hatred is increasing." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/2056431.stm

MIM: According to NPR:

January 25, 2008 · A former cricket star who leads one of Pakistan's minority parties spent time in Washington this week meeting with lawmakers and speaking out against U.S. support of Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf.

Imran Khan, an international celebrity since his days as a sports star, leads a much smaller party than that of Benazir Bhutto, the leader who was killed last month. But in Pakistan, he's nearly as well known as Bhutto.

And he says that next month's elections there won't be real, if they happen at all.

Musharraf removed the independent judges who would referee them. Yet Khan knows the president remains a U.S. ally in the war on terrorism.

"Gen. Musharraf has done a brilliant PR job here where he has convinced the people that he is one man holding these hordes of terrorists, the bastion against these extremists...." Khan says.

In an effort to change that image of Musharraf, Khan met this week with U.S. congressional leaders and spoke before audiences at a Washington think tank, the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and at the National Press Club.

Invaders from the North and Fear of Taliban Taking Control of Pakistan

Invaders from the North never really stopped: Ever since the middle ages, the plains of the Indian Sub-continent have been the happy hunting grounds of successive waves of organized bands of marauders from Central Asia. They came basically with a view to loot and plunder, and then go back laden with booty to their impoverished hills, and rag-a-tag settlements, and a few years later, some local chief would organize them again, and travel through the Khyber Pass for yet another fray. Some stayed back, and founded empires in India, which were vibrant for a generation or more, but then the agricultural fecundity of the area, and the hot climate got to them, making them rich, and consequently indolent. They in a generation or three ended up as sitting ducks to be cleaned out by bands of desperate men, who had little to lose except their lives. And so the cycle kept repeating itself for a thousand years. To avert this oft-repeated mayhem, some rulers of India attempted to check it by building defensive systems in the northwest. But these were half hearted at best and generally ineffective. So the raids from Central Asia continue, and continue to date.

Among these conquerors of India, the exceptions were the British, who came and went back by sea routes. The British never intended to settle in the subcontinent from day one, and their sole aim was the enrichment of Mother England. So what they did was to find political accommodation with the powers in the north-west. Compromise is cheaper than conflict.

This is the gist of Indian history in 250 words.

Post-partition scenario: This well known pattern went out of sync with the self-rule granted to the people of India by the British in 1947. The elected representatives of the NWFP voted against joining the State of Pakistan, whereas in a referendum which was ordered, the people of the NWFP including those residing in the present day FATA voted to be part of this country. At that time the Governor General of the young country agreed that the laws and customary systems of governance shall not be amended in any manner. The FATA tribesmen took part in the Kashmir operations of 1948, and generally continued to be a favorite of the establishment, because they asked for nothing in return for being left alone to get on with their rather primitive way of life. In addition, they guarded the western border which, called the Durand Line, provided the establishment in Pakistan with much flawed policy of “strategic depth.”

(and) the Soviet invasion: Therefore, a tacit accommodation continued till the then USSR invaded Afghanistan in the 1970s, and the Pakistan Government felt extremely uneasy fearing that this country would be next in line as it was in the way of the Russian advance to the warm waters. (Recently released government papers in Moscow debunk this fear, as at that point in time there was no plan to invade Pakistan). Pakistan liaised with comrade-in-arm USA, and mounted a huge effort since titled the Afghan Jihad. The Russians were driven out from Afghanistan, but the war tore asunder the FATA area which just happened to be in the forefront because of its geographical location. To motivate the youngster to become warriors, the GOP-USG decided to play the Islamic Card. They quietly confiscated political power from the tribal elders who had kept things from falling apart for decades, and created a class of even more powerful Mullahs. Most of the old-time Maliks have since been killed and political power in the FATA today is in the blood-stained talons of the worst kind of fascist oligarchs. The State of Pakistan and her Western allies share the responsibility of creating the Frankenstein called militant and violent Jihadist.

Quick rundown on Taliban: The Taliban initially was a set of impoverished Afghan youth who were taken in as internally displaced persons along with the other three million who took refuge in Pakistan after the invasion of Afghanistan by the Russians. These young men, and women, were trained in the religious laws, and indoctrinated to return to Afghanistan and fight and drive out the “pagans.” So, a quasi-political party was born which took over the southern part of Afghanistan after the retreat of the USSR consequent to the Geneva Accords of 1979. The Taliban government in Afghanistan is distinguished for the brutality with which it established their writ. Such was the cruel dispensation that even Nadir Shah, famed in the annals of history as a tyrant, would have been aghast. The Taliban regime was recognized only by three countries viz. Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. The Taliban rule in Afghanistan was harsher than any other that the hapless country had seen before, and she had seen many tyrants, despots, and similarly unstable rulers. The Taliban went into a frenzy of public executions, stoning to death, arbitrary imprisonment, and public lashings. They created kangaroo courts, gave out special laws edicts. The rights of women and children were trampled underfoot, and a feared regime established in a few months. The country became a safe haven for Al-Qaeda, and thousands of young males who came in to strengthen the hands of the Taliban, who had purportedly liberated a citadel of Islam from the “godless Russians” and “evil empire.” These young males were from all over the Islamic world, and Central Asia. They were valued guests of the regime, lived in style, married into local families, and over the years, became “local.”

This in short establishes the profile and pedigree of the present day tormentors called Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

Post September 11, 2001: By the time 9/11 happened, the regime in Afghanistan was in control and very rich from all kind of smuggling and trafficking, which they legitimized through fatwa as legitimate trade. Large amounts of money came from the Middle East, both state and private funds. At this time, the Americans attacked, and Pakistan withdrew its support. The regime crumpled like a house of cards without offering any resistance. The Taliban were regular visitors to the FATA area, and many had families and homes here. The Durand Line was the divide between safety or death, and therefore, the leadership of the Taliban, and many al-Qaeda elements sought refuge in our FATA. They brought with them large funds, international connections, and a lot of heavy armament.

This amalgam gave rise to two distinct movements:

1. One was the TTP which decided to take revenge from the State of Pakistan for abandoning their cousins to the Americans
2. Others who organized to go back and reclaim its kingdom in Afghanistan.

The former are mainly attacking the institutions of the State of Pakistan, while the latter are training, regrouping, and making hit and run raids on US and Allied Forces inside Afghanistan.

Taliban’s geographical control and governance methodology: The TTP has had resounding success as it indirectly controls or influences nearly 50% of the NWFP. The seven agencies of the FATA and the seven districts of Malakand Division are more or less run by the various chapters of the TTP. This ascendancy was facilitated by the MMA government which ruled the NWFP from 2003 to 2008. The TTP rules through fear and what they did was replicate the Taliban tactics of governance in Afghanistan and now hold sway over a cowering population abandoned by the State of Pakistan. Decapitations, headless bodies hanging from poles, whipping in public and similar acts of brutality are commonplace. Any departure from edicts issued by the high command is swiftly and surely punished.

All granted but Taliban still cannot take over Islamabad: The TTP cannot “occupy” Islamabad and Pakistan because:

* The control they exercise in the FATA and Malakand is forced. At any time that their critical mass explodes, the tribal Lashkars will come and drive them underground. This has happened recently.
* Political control is ensured when the urban centers fall and Taliban do not have the numbers and the capacity to become strong enough to “invade” further down South.
* Guerrilla warfare is successful in rural areas and the terrain that of FATA and Swat. Towns and large cities are defended better.
* The TTP is hated by the vast majority of Pakistanis, and this they know. They may carry out terrorist activities here and there but they cannot get themselves organized.
* Islamabad is very important to world powers and the General Headquarter of Pakistan Army. Both of these will not permit any symbolic demise of and challenge to the political and constitutional power that the Federal Capital is all about.

Food for thought: Pakistan has become a highly militarized society since 1979. For 21 years until 2001, the State’s security and intelligence apparatus systematically supported the Wahabi school of thought as this segment within Islam provided the Mujahideen against infidels. Wahabis and their closest ideological brothers, Deobandis, have the biggest network of mosques and Madrasas in all major towns of Pakistan. If the Lal Masjid in Islamabad is any example to go by, these places of worship are expected to be heavily armed. So the TTP which is somehow connected to these mosques can have a great deal of civic disturbance created. This could only be prevented with a unified security policy that goes beyond the “bullet in the barrel” and involves politics backed by strong economic mainstreaming. Another reason for Taliban’s “success” is the hunger, poverty and deprivation of the areas where they operate. The Pakistani State and its Western allies must bear in mind that hungry, poor and deprived people cannot be happy people.

Women's day celebration in Swat

8Th of March is usually known as Women's day. All over the world they celebrated it and organize differnet seminars, debates and workshops regarding Women. So do in Pakistan. We also celebrate the day as any other civilized and developed country.
Many Women today are very popular regarding their efforts for equal rights of women and men. But nobody not even a single women raised her voice for the rights of those women who were burnt alive in Lahore, nobody raised voice for women who were buried alive by some renowned politicians of BALOCHISTAN and even now those big wigs are enjoying their tenure in Balochistan not even a single Human rights champion neither the Islamic terrorist wing raised voice against them.

1. How many of us raise our voice for the women oppressed daily at their homes by brother, husband etc.
2. Have we ever protested against Feudal lords and Chaudhries who demands for young girls in place of money and land.
3. In our country at the eve of “Womens day” when the elite class was enjoying their speeches in P.C, another innocent lady Jameela khatoon was killed by her husband and the reason was NOTHING.
4. Our judges raise their voice for their personal interest but they never raise their voice and don’t even consider the cases of innocent people who wait for years for the hearing of their cases.
5. What about those who burn their faces after rapes.
6. A blind teacher got killed in SWAT for teaching the Holy Quran to young girls.
7. We have forgotten that a daughter is a BLESSING of Allah, we use them as a symbol of advertisement.

Our Media and human rights activists claim to be the representative of the majority of population but they are not focusing on these issues of women.

The majority of schools and colleges have been destroyed or either closed after the “Taaliban Shariah” imposed over there. Is this the Islamic shariah? Are women not allowed to study? According to sources more than 200 girls school have been burnt or destroyed by the Extremist in swat valley and other suburbs. Will this regime of terrorism and extremism be ended before we reach the DOOM’S DAY.

We all know:
“It is obligatory for both men and women to get education”

Our Religion ISLAM tells us the way of living a prosperous and peaceful life by enjoying the blessings and teachings of ISLAM in its true essence. But we abruptly mould those for our personal interest. The Orders of Allah and the teachings of Our Beloved HOLY PROPHET (S.A.W) teaches us not to be divided, not to create panic, not to kill, not to see your personal interest. Islam teaches us brotherhood, quality and justice which is the right of both men and women.

So its now upto us, these religious extremists are continousely destroying the image of Islam. They kill womens, they raped them, they sell them, they burnt them alive, and no one is there to stop them. We can just celebrate Women's day once an year in our Urban Areas, but no one have guts to go and visit those rural areas and ask those extremists what reason they got. I think if we still do not take any step against those forces then we would be considered as a part of them, and by doing this we are exploiting the name of Islam.

GOVERNMENT APPROVED TALIBANIZATION

SWAT three years back you might had known this place the Switzerland of Pakistan. But now is more than Kabul. Swat is facing insurgency from last one year. Maulana Fazlulah the warlord is most known person and the leader of Talibans in Pakistan is fighting with the Armed forces. And the Demand is implementation of shariya law in Swat and nearby Regions.

The demand was never condemnable but Taliban’s who need no introduction is claiming shariya law of their own kind a license to kill any one cutting their head off the body.Several cases isbeen noticed of killing innocent people without justification of being declared Guilty.

Swat the most literate region of NWFP has no more schools open. About hundred of school is being targeted by the Talibans and they said they wont allow any un islamic type of education in the region and education is being declared Haram.

The Government of Pakistan took step against operation against the Tahreek Taliban after the broken treaty with the talibans. And Fazlulah Kept fighting the Armed force for months thousands of school went closed and Journalist being Tortured and killed. But the Forces failed to implement the writ of the Government and went to the Table of dialogue.

Sufi Mohammed Father in law of Maulana Fazlulah has played a vital rule for the implementation of shariya rule in SWAT. Leader of Tahreek nifaaz-e-Mohammadi it was his aim to implement shariya law in the region and he used Fazlulah as a pressure group for the Government. Government of Pakistan with the allies in NWFP has agreed to implement shariya law in swat . Talibans has demanded armed forces to leave the region and Governement has asked Sufi mohammed to maintain peace and after that Shariya law will be implemented.

This Government approved Talibanization doesn’t felt weird in Tribal region. But by accepting Talibans demands Government is encouraging their intentions and wills. Talibans is not problem in tribal areas . their activities in rural , urban areas of Pakistan can also be seen easily , From Islamabad to Karachi Taliban is doing their suspicious activities specially in Karachi And Maulvi umer has deliberately admitted the presence of Talibans in Karachi . Lal Masjid dispute of Lahore , Rural areas of Punjab and Urban Areas of Sindh are filled with suspicious talibans activities .

In Future if we would face the same situation like swat in Rural areas of Punjab Urban parts of NWFP and urban rural areas of Sindh do this Governement would agree on taliban demands for the implementation of Shariya law in these areas as well. I personally feel the treaty of Swat a disastrous start of Talibanization of Pakistan. If today we wont think about it then may be tomorrow our next Generation would not have any school for their education.

Creeping Talibanisation is now a reality

The primary theatre of battle may still be North and South Waziristan, as evidenced by the Pakistani Taliban’s recent bloody assault on the settled town of Tank that borders the tribal areas. But the events of the last few days in Islamabad are more disturbing in some ways, suggesting as they do that creeping Talibanisation is now a reality across the country. Indeed the Lal Masjid brigade, as it has come to be known, has every right to celebrate. Tuesday’s showdown with the police was its second major success of the year. First its women’s wing, comprising hundreds of burqa-clad and baton-wielding students, occupied a children’s library in the federal capital in January.
Now both the men’s and women’s wings of this emerging brand of the Pakistani Taliban have started to impose new rules of morality by forcibly shutting down video and music shops in Islamabad, and by abducting women whom they believe are engaged in ‘immoral’ activities.

Situated in an area where the prime minister’s secretariat and seat of power is on one side, and the headquarters of the country’s premier intelligence agency, the ISI, on the other, Lal Masjid and its adjacent Hafsa madressah have not only managed to enforce the Taliban-style system of ‘moral policing’ in matters of ‘vice and virtue’, to date they remain in control of the situation.

But who are these people, and why are the government and the security services finding it so hard to enforce the rule of law? Is it that the government really wants to avoid bloodshed because hundreds, if not thousands, of women are part of this violent brigade? Or is it a reflection of some kind of infighting in the establishment where one faction still has a soft corner for their former Islamist allies?


Probably both.

Joint Head Militancy JI and PTI

The Current Political Situation of Pakistan, The Extremist right hand political parties of Pakistan are prolonging rifts among the democratic government of two major political parties of Pakistan since a long time. Remember these parties lost elections badly and the people of Pakistan refused their agenda’s.

In the current political scenario these parties in the name of independence of judiciary has abused the current judiciary for their own political goals. From years these parties has supported the Taliban and Islamic extremist militants in FATA, NWFP and its nearby region. Qazi Hussein Ahmed Jamat-e-Islami and the Cricketer turned politician Imran khan’s Tahreek-e-Insaaf are top of the list.

These parties do continuously condemn bombing safe heavens of Taliban’s by drones and are spreading hatred in the people. These parties also criticized the action of armed force for the writ of the Government in swat and bajour . As the armed forces tried to impose and killed Talibans.

Qazi Hussain ahmed’s Jamat-e-ismali relations with the afghan jihad warlord Hikmat yaar are not hidden to anyone. Since a long time the young activist’s of Jamat-e-Islami related to different factions of JI such as Shabab-e-mili , PASBAN and Jamiat Tulba Islam were training young activist’s in Jamat-ud-dawa camps. Meanwhile Imran khan’s preaching’s against the armed forces of Pakistan to the youngster’s are on the record. Campaign’s in Cyber world and in media is being launched by tahreek-e-insaaf as a propaganda tool against the armed forces.

The Lahore attackers arrestments from a student hostel have roots to this propaganda and militancy. There are concern’s that the some of the trained militants of Jamat-e-islami or tahreek-e-insaaf may would try to ruined the Democratic government in Pakistan using the Protest rally’s for their sick goals . So a democratic government in Pakistan after such a long time can be ended for their extremist ideological goals of handing Pakistan to Talibans. The joint heads of these TWO controversial parties is a threat to National Security.
