One party has committed breach of article 17 of constitution: CJP

KARACHI: Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry has said one party is there which has committed breach of article 17 of the constitution, therefore, the court is facing the prevailing situation.

CJP gave these remarks while presiding over a 5-member bench of Supreme Court (SC) during the course of hearing of suo motu case of Karachi violence here Wednesday.

CJP remarked all the cases occurring in Karachi pertain to terrorism and even extortion also falls in the definition of terrorism. However one person kills 100 persons and GIT gives report against him but no witnesses are available against him.

Anwar Mansoor Khan president Sindh High Court Bar Association (SHCBA) has completed his arguments.

Babar Awan argued that operation conducted by Gen Nasir Ullah Babar during 1994 to 1996 was the best solution towards Karachi issue. But government was removed on this pretext, he added.

CJP remarked the then government was charged that it had not discharged its constitutional obligations. More than 1310 people had been killed in the current year and more dead bodies were being recovered. The court has to do something, he said.

CJP said when courts are working then the government would also gain strength. . 306 persons were killed from July to August and not a single accused was arrested and not any challan was presented.

Bench inquired from bench licenses of prohibited bore were being issued. LMG, rocket launcher and grenades were coming from where. IG had gone to such an extent saying that anti aircraft guns were also found here.

Babar Awan replied that he would tell about it after checking it. IG Sindh told on the occasion that 500000 licenses of prohibited bore have been issued from 2001 todate. Home ministry issues licenses but no entry is got recorded in the police stations in this respect, he told. CJP inquired from Babar Awan “since how many years back you are in a state of war”. 6 to 7 governments were sacked due to lawlessness in the past. One government was dissolved due to lawlessness in Karachi.

CJP said to Babar Awan “ you have heard reports of interior ministry, GIT, IG and ASI and even then you say government is successful. The circumstances in which police is working we appreciate them. IG Sindh says that 40 percent appointments have been made in police on political basis and he can not even transfer a DSP. Anti Terrorism law is not being implemented in letter and spirit.

Babar Awan said international and regional forces wanted to see Pakistan a weak and failed state. The government is also charged with failing to discharge its obligations which was an indication towards ending democracy.

CJP remarked Charchil had once said if courts continue to work in befitting manner then war can be won. There is wisdom in his statement.

Hearing of the case has been adjourned till today.

Pasha, one of the most powerful men in the South Asian nation, told the all-party gathering that US military action against insurgents in Pakistan

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s intelligence chief on Thursday denied US accusations that the country supports the Haqqani network, an Afghan militant group blamed for an attack on the American embassy in Kabul. “There are other intelligence networks supporting groups who operate inside Afghanistan. We have never paid a penny or provided even a single bullet to the Haqqani network,” Lieutenant-General Ahmed Shuja Pasha told Reuters after meeting political leaders over heavily strained US-Pakistani ties. Pasha, one of the most powerful men in the South Asian nation, told the all-party gathering that US military action against insurgents in Pakistan would be unacceptable and the army would be capable of responding, local media said. But he later said the reports were “baseless”. Pakistan has long faced US demands to attack militants on its side of the border with Afghanistan, but pressure has grown since the top US military officer, Admiral Mike Mullen, accused Pasha’s Inter-Services Intelligence ...

Drone Wars: The rationale.The Drone Wars are the new black.

The Drone Wars are the new black. The once covert, highly-secretive and little talked about strategy of using unmanned aerial vehicles to target suspected terrorists in Pakistan and elsewhere has gone mainstream. And now everyone is talking about it. Even Leon Panetta, the former C.I.A. director, whose old agency doesn't officially admit that its drone program exists, is talking about it. Twice in a matter of hours last week he joked about the C.I.A.'s pension for deploying the ominously-named Predator drones. “Obviously I have a hell of a lot more weapons available to me here than I had at the C.I.A.,” he said, referring to his new post as secretary of defense. “Although the Predators aren’t bad.” Complete coverage: The Drone Wars Later that same day, on the tarmac of a naval air base, he said, coyly, that the use of Predators are “something I was very familiar with in my old job.” Soon after, a Predator armed with hellfire missiles took flight from the runway, bound for Libya...
