Accountability for all?

Accountability is a phenomenon which if done with all honesty and veracity can eliminate all the ills from the society and can pull the nation towards prosperity and progress. If we see the history of our country we would find a number of times when political leaders of this country chants the slogans of Accountability to others for polishing their own selves, but till now none called for an across the board Accountability for all, regardless of his affiliation and status. This is why we are still standing not too far away where we were standing 55years back.

Now a day we are again witnessing these songs of Accountability in our country and this time this not only from politicians but these chants are coming from the “respected” supreme court of the country. Who all are committed and set for the accountability of Former President of the Country Gen. Ret. Parvez Musharraf over what he did on 3^rd of November 2007 which according to them was Un Constitutional and can be trialed under Article 6 of the constitution of Pakistan (1973) which states that:

 

6. High treason.

1. Any person who abrogates or attempts or conspires to abrogate, subverts or attempts or conspires to subvert the Constitution by use of force or show of force or by other unconstitutional means shall be guilty of high treason.

2. Any person aiding or abetting the acts mentioned in clause (1) shall likewise be guilty of high treason.

3. Parliament shall by law provide for the punishment of persons found guilty of high treason.

Before going over my main point I would like to discuss one more important thing i.e. why Supreme Court is only just concerned about the act of 3rd November 2007? However similar kind of act was done by same person on 12th October 1999? Why no one wants to mention that and impeach that act also? Well may be because that October ’99 act was a fruitful one for “respected” Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry as it elevated him to the Supreme Court from Baluchistan High Court after he took oath under the P.C.O. of that time presented by Gen. Parvez Musharraf, but on November 2007 same person, same act and his P.C.O. becomes bad as it took away the seat of “respected” Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry.

Coming back to the point, let for the sake of argument if we consider Gen Ret. Parvez Musharraf guilty of Article 6 clause (1) of constitution of Pakistan, then there is another clause in Article 6 after this which says:

Article (6) Clause 2:

• Any person aiding or abetting the acts mentioned in clause (1) shall likewise be guilty of high treason.

So according to this clause “respected” Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry is also equally culpable and guilty of Article 6 i.e. of high treason and should be impeached and set accountable in front of the nation. Because:

• C. J. Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry was among the first judges who took oath under the P.C.O. of Gen. Parvez Musharraf in January 2000 and got promotion to Supreme Court from Baluchistan High Court to fill the vacancies left by those judges who refused to take oath under the P.C.O.

• April, 2005 C. J. Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry was among the 5 judges who dismissed all the petitions against Gen. Parvez Musharraf’s constitutional amendments including 17th Amendment, his Uniform and Legal Framework Order hence Validating Gen. Parvez Musharraf’s acts of suspending the constitution, allowing him to keep two offices (i.e. of President and Chief of Army Staff).

So, according to the constitution of Pakistan (1973) C. J. Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry is also guilty of Article 6 as he abetted the acts of Gen. Parvez Musharraf which he and his companions now calls “unconstitutional”. And honest demand of Accountability is that if Gen. Parvez Musharraf is going to be asked for his acts then C. J. Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry should also be.

And not only are these two personalities’, acts done by an illegal or unconstitutional person also illegal and unconstitutional so all the acts by these two are also illegal including:

• National Reconciliation Order (N.R.O.) by Gen. Ret. Pervez Musharraf, and
• Cases handled by C. J. Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry including “plane hijacking case” and “Sharifs ineligibility case”.

 

Respect Constitution, Respect Accountability

Accountability for All!

Firing over J.S.Q.M.’s Rally and Unasked Justification from A.N.P. .

An Unfortunate Incident:

Today, again Karachi was in news throughout the day because of an another unfortunate event occurred during the J.S.Q.M. (Jiye Sindh Qaumi Mahaz)’s rally in Karachi. The Rally was targeted by two gunmen loaded with kalashanikovs, in retaliation J.S.Q.M. workers killed one of the attackers and other was arrested with injuries. The incident occurred when the JSQM’s rally reached Race course road near Safora Goth chowringi, where the rally was targeted by those Gunmen. Violent incidents and protest in interior parts of Sind and national highway Karachi occurred following this incidents.

Obvious One:

Seeing the scenario this incident can’t be termed as unexpected, J.S.Q.M. a party which is on the hard line over the issue of Swat IDP’s coming to Sind, taking out a procession in A.N.P. dominated area (Safora Goth), who are the biggest advocate of I.D.P.s settlement to Sind, rifts between these two parties had also created misfortunes in past, ethnic riots in Karachi and firing over the J.S.Q.M.’s procession which claimed many lives earlier this year are the fresh examples.

So, nothing peaceful can be expected when J.S.Q.M. will hold a procession in front of A.N.P. . what can be said about the violent activities of A.N.P. but for their own benefit they should they should learn to act a little. And even this was not it, just 1 or 2 hours after the incident A.N.P. Sind President showed up in a Press Conference saying that this incident is a play to create rifts between J.S.Q.M. & A.N.P. .

 

Well, There are few Question need to be answered:

Why Mr.Shahi Syed did came on T.V. so hurriedly, giving justification of “No A.N.P. involvement” in the incident, who asked for it? “Is it the self-Guilt of a failed plan” or a fear to be Nominated because of which he himself is saying “hum ne tu yeah jurm nai kia”?

Mr.Shahi Syed said “it’s a plan to harden the relationship between two parties”, well before this he should tell that when the relationship between two parties got softer?

What a great person Mr. Oscar wilde was, who said:

“It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution” .

Swapping the sides across the “Great BRIDGE” of Karachi.

It’s just the story of 5, 6 years back when the southern side of the Great Bridge which includes most prominently DHA and Clifton’s area was known as a status symbol, a place having well developed civic facilities compared to the other side of the city i.e. Northern which was supposed to be an under developed and lacking basic daily civic needs. And that opinion was also justified till an extent.

But in the last few years things have changed dramatically, today as compare to 5 years back it seems that someone has just turned the Great Bridge of Karachi, the Story of South is now the present of North and so as the other way round.

Today the Northern side of the Great Bridge seems having a better basic Civic structure and its seems like a developed area but when you crossed the bridge and land over northern side (Clifton and then Defence) it seems like a plain land of an small town with (is its moon soon’s season) stagnant water over the roads which have those deep and ‘strange’ so called storm water drainage system.

No matter what the side is north or south, at the end it belongs to Karachi and Karachiites also lives there. With the Grace of All Mighty ALLAH we have seen tremendous development in the northern part of Karachi of which C.D.G.K. is responsible but is there anyone who could ask to the Southern Guardians of Karachi i.e. D.H.A. and Cantonment who takes more from public compared to the other side but still they seems delivering less. ?

Target Killings in Karachi are targeted by whom?

The rope of target killing is not again stretched in Karachi which has claimed many precious lives till now while mostly of the victims are political party’s activists.

In Karachi everything seems unpredictable, things come out from nowhere and in a very short span of time they start hovering over the news, whether it’s about weather or law and order.

Now, Target killing is also one of them, before that Karachi was facing political rifts but they got settled somehow but know this new phenomenon is on the scene.

But if we see them a little closely you would find that everything has a back ground and building and so as the verge of Target Killing, i.e. some people don’t want peace and stability in Karachi, they have been found involved in most of the unrest in Karachi directly or indirectly.

And as far as the cause of target killings is concerned the roots of this killing lies in Punjab specially Mianwali and Lahore. Surprised? Ok then answer this:

 

Imran mediating between Haqiqi factions

KARACHI: Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has been trying for the last few months to broker a deal between the two factions of the Mohajir Qaumi Movement (MQM-Haqiqi) that split during the previous government’s tenure, The News has reliably learnt.

Emerging as a staunch opponent of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) after the May 12, 2007 mayhem in which several political workers were killed in Karachi, Imran Khan subsequently launched a campaign against the Muttahida. His anti-Muttahida drive started with the help of the MQM-Haqiqi which provided him with evidence of alleged brutalities against it.

PML(N) ‘Minister’ Iftikhar Khan Baloch Kidnapped PML (N)’s ‘City President’ Riffat Rani and others.

PML (N) is once again under the spot light with its Minister again crossing their limits and using his powers in unjustified way.

The latest is PML(N)’s Member of Provincial Assembly Iftikhar Khan Baloch is now found using the government machinery in kidnapping and harassing the Husband and Family of Kulsoom Balooch who also happens to his cousin.

In a nutshell story is:

Kulsoom Balooch married for love with Fazal Abbas a local guy. but her Parents refuses to accept his marriage as Fazal Abbas was not from their community so they tried to harass both of them and even threaten to kill Fazal Abbas the married couple finally decided to fled to Karachi for the refuge. over that the Family of Kulsoom got fierce and tried every thing to get back what they lost and for that purpose they filed a case against Fazal Abbas’s Family with the help and reference of PML(N)’s MPA Iftikhar Khan Baloch(Kulsoom Balooch is the daughter of Allah Dad Khan Baloch, who is a cousin of MPA Iftikhar’s father Ahmad Khan Baloch.) and making that FIR a basis police kidnapped the brother of Fazal Abbas and took them to jail and moreover the sisters of Fazal Abbas was kidnapped by the a car with the green plate in use by PML(N)’s MPA Iftikhar Khan Baloch and his sisters are still under MPA’s Custody.

They then forced Abbas and his sisters, Mrs. Riffat Rani (wife of Shafiq Dogar and Sargodha PML(N) city president); Miss Nadia, 19, who is a national badminton champion; Miss Shazia Riaz, 16; and Miss Nazia, 12, into three private cars. Shazia Riaz was loaded into a car with Iftikhar Ahmed Baloch, and has not been seen or heard from since. [!]

So Again Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz)’s Minister making unjustified use of his powers and government’s property for kidnapping citizen. another one recently can be found here.

If PML(N)’s own Women working at the post of City president are being kidnapped by the MNA’s of the same party then what could be the future of the other women under their government?

and of course the last one what about the following promises made by PML(N) in their manifesto regarding women?

17. Women
In Islam, women enjoy place of honor and dignity that is unparallel in history. The talents of both men and women are acknowledged equally in Islam. It is for the same reason that acquiring knowledge has been ordained for both equally. PML-N shall:
- Ensure respect, dignity, and protection granted by Islam to women.
- Promote participation of women in national development and their social, political and economic empowerment.
- Give preference to women teachers in primary education.
- Promote female education and health care programs to overcome gender gaps.
- Effective representation of women in all key policy/decision making bodies shall be ensured.
- Special legislation on violence against women and child abuse shall be enacted.
- Micro credit for female borrowers will be expanded substantially as a part of the process of their empowerment.

P.M.L.(N) providing Cheating facilities in Exams as they promised in their Manifesto.

Technorati Tags: PMLN,Nawaz,Education,Parvaiz

Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) which is a major political party of Pakistan has following to say about the “Education” in their Manifesto:

• With knowledge becoming the key driver of economic and social progress in future, education must become number one national priority.
• An educated, technological advanced and progressive society is the aspiration of all the people of Pakistan.
• Guarantee that all students who get first division in both Matric and Intermediate examinations are ensured of a place in a public sector college in their tehsil/taluka/sub-division. This target will be achieved by 2010.
• Provide maximum facilities for science education and vocational training for all middle and high school students.

I was not aware that they really mean what they say, but when i came across the following news it made me believe over their dedication towards their Manifesto.

Haji Pervaiz Khan The Member of of National Assemble from PML (N)’s ticket, who won his NA seat in the by-elections from NA-55, Rawalpindi was supposed to give his Intermediate Examination on April- 29- 09 in a local school but instead of him his nephew Bilal was found giving the examination.

Now the news itself is self explanatory but i would just like to put few questions here:

1. Why PML(N) is giving part Election tickets to those people who are not eligible and capable to sit in intermediate exams themselves so how are they justified to sit in the Parliament?
2. PML(N)’s young face Abid Sher Ali who was very vocal or say extra vocal over the case of Ex. CJSC’s Daughter Farah Hameed Dogar, so why he is so polite over this case?
3. What about the promises and golden temples shown about the Education in PML (N) Manifesto?
4. And last but not the least will this scandal also become out of the sight after sometime or after the resignation of Haji Pervaiz Khan from his NA seat or Will there be a real action against the dacoits of education?

Karachi, the heaven for Taliban

The presence of Extremist religious outfits and the member leaves of Taliban tree in Karachi is once again got proved On 15^th of January 2009 when an encountered held at the Sohrab Goth, the same area which according to Herald is a Heaven for Taliban and Al Qaida, and a famous home for many illegal activities including drug dealing.

This time the news was much bigger because this operation soon becomes a ‘failed’ rescue operation for the kidnapped Iranian commercial attaché Hashmatullah Atharzadeh who was kidnapped on November 13 2008 from Hayatabad, Peshawar after killing his guard.

Geo reported that incident on Thursday, November 13, 2008:

PESHAWAR: Investigation into the kidnapping of Iranian Commercial Attaché has gone underway after the incident took place here on Thursday. … Unknown gunmen kidnapped Commercial Attaché of Iranian Consulate, Hashmatullah Atharzadeh after killing his guard here from Hayatabad earlier today, police said.

Our security agencies and police were busy in founding the kidnapped attaché in NWFP while he was easily shifted to Karachi bypassing all the security checks. This phenomenon of shifting Kidnapped attaché from Peshawar to Karachi explains that terrorists feels and thinks Karachi as much safer place for them as compare to Peshawar.

The encounter at Sohrab Goth, Karachi occurred on Thursday morning when militants opened fire in police party who was there to investigate the kidnapping of Iranian commercial attaché. Two policemen were killed and eleven others were injured during this operation and around 35 suspected people including four militants belonging to Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and different banned religious outfits, including Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LJ) have been arrested.

Daily Times: Shootout at Sohrab Goth

The situation of Karachi has got very sensitive and it’s getting ripped day by day. It’s not the first time when any extremist group has caught on picnic in Karachi, from the Encounter of Shah Latif Town on 29th January 2008 where five people, two of them policemen, were killed in an encounter with Jandullah a banned outfit, to this incident of 15^th January 2009 where two police officials were killed in an encounter with the militants of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and different banned religious outfits, including Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LJ), it is a long list of such incidents which clearly points towards the activities of Extremists terrorists and militants. But despite of all this over Government says ‘No, there isn’t any evidence of the presence of Taliban in Karachi’.

• The question is what our government is doing?

• How did those terrorists make there way safe to Karachi?

• Is it compulsory for taking action to wait until these terrorist warns girl’s schools of Karachi to be shutoff?

The situation is bad and getting worse, These extremists are penetrating in Karachi like a Trojan while our Government who are supposed to be our Anti virus are in 'inactive' mode.

Lahore Blasts and the terrorist activities of Jamat-e-Islami and Shabab-e-Milli.

Jamat-e-Islami and its armed wing Shabab-e-Milli’s hatred against art and cultural events is very old they have always moved in a terrorize way to stop cultural and fun activities in the area.

One of its example is their warning to Karachiites for not celebrating new years night, and to stop people from doing this they declared an "armed 'Danda bardaar' force" which will stop people from doing such celebration activities, this statement of them was showed over television and also in the print media below is the link to the ‘Daily Express’ news of their warning.

Shabab e Milli Warning

After the warning of not celebrating New Year’s Eve they also gave another threatening warning for stopping theater shows in Lahore which they believe to be un-ethical and 'not allowed' according to their own theory and this time unlike the fortunate new year's night the warning was followed by a ringer,as after few days of their warning Lahore’s Drama Theaters were rocked by a series of Bomb Blasts.

"Six blasts rock Lahore theaters: The first four blasts happened outside the Al-Fallah theater in the heart of the heavily populated city on Friday. The fifth and sixth blasts occurred at Mazang Chungee near Tamaseel Theatre two hours after the four blasts outside the Al-Fallah theater hall."
