Geneva - A Gross Error of Judgement

Dr. Syed Nazir Gilani

 

There is a Swedish proverb, that "when a blind man carries a lame man, both go forward". But Bible has a saying that 'The "blind and the "lame people" will not enter the palace. The friendship of the Kashmiri leadership and their support base in Pakistan is similar to a "blind man carrying a lame man". Unfortunately the Swedish proverb seems to have turned on its head and the two friends don't seem to be going forward. And according to Bible the two - "blind and the "lame people" will not enter the palace.

 

Mirwaiz Umar Farooq was carried as one of the two friends to Geneva to be a speaker at one of the parallel activities on the side lines of the 19th session of UN Human Rights Council. The Valley based leader failed to realise that the UN Human Rights Council remains fully conscious of the fact that Mirwaiz's presence is confronted by two other voices raised against the violation of human rights in AJK (Pakistan administered) and Gilgit and Baltistan (Pakistan administered) two parts of the State of Jammu and Kashmir. In fact it means that there are three voices on the question of rights violation in Kashmir. The fourth vocal voice that has been added to the list is the violation of human rights in Balochistan. This voice has found a very strong support in the US Congress and the question of self-determination of the Baloch people has found its way into the vocabulary of political discussions around the world.

 

At a time when APHC is fractured into two factions and there are questions of concern on both sides in regard to the substantive merits of their reference to people, any generic statement by any one of them on the jurisprudence of Kashmir case has to be weighed and weighed and weighed, over and over again. Unfortunately, it did not happen and Mirwaiz made a "Gross Error of Judgement" in his speech at the parallel activity at the UN in Geneva on 15 March 2012. He made an offer stating "APHC is willing to forgo international facilitation, provided both the governments of India and Pakistan agree that the APHC leadership will be fully associated with the peace process at a later stage."

 

The statement highlights a sorry state of APHC politics. It violates the APHC constitution, remains at war with UN mechanism on the Kashmiri people's right to self-determination, has no public sanction and above all is a selfish statement, which may not be endorsed by the other faction of APHC lead by Syed Ali Shah Geelani. The role of Mirwaiz in the proverbial friendship between a "blind man and a lame man" is not clear. It could be strongly argued that he did not represent APHC of the manner that exists in Srinagar and continues to feature on the menu of the Pakistan High Commission in Delhi or as it continues to exist in Pakistan. Therefore, a blanket offer that "APHC is willing to forgo international facilitation, provided both the governments of India and Pakistan agree that the APHC leadership will be fully associated with the peace process at a later stage," has no mandate. It could be considered as an offer not only over and above the shoulders of the people of Kashmir but an offer made behind the backs of the people of the State living under three administrations and as a strong Diaspora.

 

Mirwaiz was flanked by a female minister from AJK and if she dares to share the same political offer, it amounts to a breach of her oath under AJK Constitution Act 1974. The Government of AJK has been established to seek the settlement of the question of self-determination as provided under UNCIP resolutions. The event organised by the   Kashmir Centre EU, in association with International Human Rights Association of American Minorities (IHRAAM) would have been credible, if the other two Kashmiri participants, were not inscribed in the FBI affidavit filed in Dr. G. N. Fai's case coming up towards the end of the month. Even if, the two were not inscribed in an incriminating manner in the FBI affidavit, their positions as employees of the two Centres and the history of their graduation into the present roles, could not be trusted.

 

The majority non Kashmiri crowd at the meeting comprising of people living in Italy, France, Belgium and Geneva was put together by using the official stick. Another Round Table Interactive Dialogue Organised by OCAPROCE on the same day and attended by citizens of the State of Jammu and Kashmir did not allow a free hand of representation to the event which was attended by Mirwaiz. An activity going on in a similar manner in the adjacent room should have remained a concern for the Kashmiri leader.

 

Establishment in reality and the civilian Government in Pakistan as a proxy for the former remain the other partner in the friendship between a "blind man and a lame man". The other partner, President of Pakistan in his 3119 word address to the joint sitting of the parliament on 17 March 2012 could manage  only 14 words for the right of self-determination of the people of Kashmir. In relation to Kashmir he said "But we must also address difficult issues including that of Jammu and Kashmir dispute."

 

President of Pakistan would have been handed down this phrase by the establishment which has an exclusive authority over any stir made on the question of Kashmir. It is exceptionally a barren and lustreless phrase. It expresses a desire and identifies Kashmir as an 'include' and not any more as a core issue or the issue of a people struggling for self-determination. In view of this very dry expression on Kashmir by the President of Pakistan the offer made by APHC leader in Geneva does not have any substantive merit. His faction or the other faction of APHC do not count for the establishment in any manner when it would come to their determination to seek a settlement with the Government of India.

 

It is an irony that the fractured political leadership of APHC serves to blow hot and cold for the establishment in Islamabad. APHC in either shape has served the interests of the establishment and would continue to serve as a scarecrow to increment the non-Kashmiri interest. Establishment in Pakistan and its experts on the jurisprudence of UN resolutions on Kashmir, have a full knowledge that APHC does not satisfy the test of 'Principality' set for the representative character of politics in Kashmir. Even if APHC is accepted to be fulfilling the requirements of 'Principality' to be counted as a representative leadership, it is obvious that other political parties represented in J & K assembly would have no challenge to their roles as 'Principals'.

 

It seems that Kashmiri leadership in the manner of APHC is lost in wilderness and has lost its moorings of all manner. Disappearance of APHC from its Delhi Bureau Office, from the international scene and its appearance in the present fractured and casual manner does more disservice than any good to the cause of the people of Kashmir. APHC exposes itself to a direct challenge of the other two opinions effectively raised at the UN in Geneva on the violations of human rights in AJK and Gilgit and Baltistan (parts of the State administered by Pakistan). 

 

APHC has to understand the jurisprudence of UN Resolutions on the question of representation. According to para 6 of UN SC resolution of 21 April 1948 "The Government of the State has to invite the major political groups to designate responsible representatives to share equitably and fully in the conduct of the administration at the ministerial level while the plebiscite is being prepared and carried out." Establishment in Islamabad, would not be of any help to influence their 'role as responsible representatives'.

Pakistani businessmen decry ISI-bashing

Majyd Aziz

CIA, MOSSAD, MI-6, RAW, and of course, ISI. These are some of the well-known,
respected, and feared organizations, generally known as intelligence or secret
agencies, and are mandated by their respective governments or charters to
undertake designated activities that are crucial for national security and
national integrity of their motherland. Over the past many decades, other such
agencies have been in the news and most of them have been infamous, not only in
their own country, but throughout the world. Russia's KGB, Shah of Iran's SAVAK,
former East Germany's STASI, or the vicious gang of Haiti's 'Papa Doc' Duvalier,
officially known as MVSN, but contemptuously nicknamed by every Haitian as
Tonton Macoutes. Each and every country, and there are 196 countries in the
world, has some structured organization that could be termed as an intelligence
agency.

What has become synonymous with these secret intelligence organizations is their
portrayal in public as tough, conspiratorial, disregard for world protocols,
ruthless, knowledgeable, and in many cases, 'state within a state'. While
accusations and proofs do manifest such thinking, the fact is that for these
agencies, the primary objective is to protect and secure the nation from
external and even internal threats, intrigues, and more importantly attacks in
any manner and channel. Therefore, bashing the nation's intelligence apparatus
is in effect undermining the national security and national responsibility.

Over the last few years, a new thinking has developed in certain quarters and
this is assuming ominous proportions. Whispers became words, words became print,
print became online debates, and these debates resonated from small hamlets in
the interior of Pakistan to the capitals of the world. What should have been
nipped in the bud, or just gossiped in the parlors, was broadcast all over
through the global megaphone. Suddenly, an organization whose prime objective is
to ensure national security and to provide all possible intelligence reports and
position papers to the armed forces is being unnecessarily compromised and even
postings of the hierarchy have become subjects of pros and cons.

The impetus created by a civilian government to what it called bringing the
organization under the executive in its fullest sense triggered warning sirens
inside the portals of the well-secured enclave in Rawalpindi. A flurry of
actions was immediately conducted and the executive backed down, albeit with a
bitter taste in the mouth. Although the status quo was, and has been, maintained
and the juggernaut in Islamabad's Aabpara is functioning as before, the hard
fact is that a pretty solid dent has been created in its armor. The invulnerable
armor of the organization was further attacked in the back when a mischievous
but poignantly damaging clause in the much-publicized lollipop from Capitol Hill
called Kerry-Lugar-Berman Act desired that this organization be under true
civilian authority. Again, the defenders of the nation brought much needed
sanity and prevailed upon the residents of the two regal edifices in Margalla to
understand the ramifications of this clause as it would not promote democracy
but may unpleasantly damage the process of reconciliation and constitutional
authority.

Ever since these externally initiated dents, pointing fingers towards Aabpara
has become a favorite pastime for many who exert influence in this country. The
self-styled liberals have joined in as a chorus and further exacerbated the
situation without comprehending the sensitivity and insight of safeguarding the
national strategic assets. Ironically, taking due course to the immortal words
of President Harry Truman that "the buck stops here", the focus has been on the
decisions and actions of those who skippered the sensitive organization. The
background of these actions has been scrutinized with a bias while opaque
glasses are worn to justify the vehement opposition to what transpired behind
closed doors. The ensuing result may be the beginning of demoralization within
the cadre in this organization and may severely impact the effectiveness and
capability of a premier organization, an organization positively recognized as
an epitome of excellence within the global intelligence community. Yes, the
naysayers love to call it a rogue organization but, at the same time, it is
generally acclaimed for its skill, talent, and significance.

So, where does all this leads. From a businessman's point of view, the very fact
that sensitive organizations are made to come out from behind the curtains to be
paraded in an alfresco environment and asked to strip bare manifests a
threatening situation for the motherland. From day one when Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto
daringly announced that the denizens of this nation would eat grass but will
possess the nuclear bomb, there has been an anti-Pakistani dark cloud hovering
above in the skies. When the event finally took place at Chagai Hill in
Balochistan, the clouds became darker and menacing. The brilliant minds
overseeing the sensitive organizations ensured that the national strategic
assets were well protected and safe from the daily threats from foes and friends
alike. Today, the 185 million citizens are comfortable in the knowledge that
inspite of all odds, the assets and human resources are secure, dependable, and
ready for any eventuality. This is also reassuring for the business community
that is investing billions, earning foreign exchange, and providing meaningful
employment.

Therefore, the business community is of the solid opinion and are united in
requesting people who matter that this is not an 'us versus they' circumstance
but a matter of national interest that should not become a game scoring or an
ego trip. It is imperative that all those who wield authority must be on the
same page and must reflect this unified thinking in word and spirit. This is not
the time for manipulative maneuvers or polemical pursuits. This is not the time
for brinkmanship or gainsaying ventures. This is not the time for putting at
risk the ideology and sovereignty of the country. Pakistan is in a crisis,
economically, politically, and diplomatically. What should come first? Personal
agenda or national integrity? Protection of sensitive organizations, especially
ISI, and prosperity of the nation should prevail and recognized as prime
priorities. This is only possible when everyone truly adheres to the clarion
call, that for all Pakistanis it is always Pakistan First.

Subject: [Pak-Media] Petition on treacherous role of South Asia Free Media Association (SAFMA)



 
To,
The Honourable Chief Justice of Pakistan,
Supreme Court of Pakistan,
Constitution Avenue,
Islamabad.
 
Sub: National Interest Petition against the treacherous role of South Asia Free Media Association (SAFMA) and its associates, members and supporters for waging a sinister war against the sacred State and the ideology of Pakistan.
 
Honorable Chief Justice sahib,
I, as a concerned Muslim citizen of Pakistan, would urgently draw your attention towards the treacherous, criminal and seditious role of a media group SAFMA against the State of Pakistan and its sacred Islamic ideology on behalf of our arch enemies especially the Indian Zionist Hindus. Under the façade of free media and freedom of expression, the SAFMA and its allied traitors in media and legal community are demolishing the very foundations of the sacred Islamic republic of Pakistan, acting as the fifth column for the enemy in these times of war and crisis for the country. SAFMA is waging a war against the State and ideology of Pakistan and we would urge the Supreme Court of Pakistan to take most strict action against this gang of media terrorists.
SAFMA is a traitor organization which has exploited the moment to wage an information and media war against the Islamic republic of Pakistan. According to the national laws, constitution and the Pemra rules, SAFMA and its members should be tried for treason against the state, for attacking and violating the Islamic character of the nation and for extending the agenda of a hostile state against Pakistan's national security interests and armed forces and must be banned from operating in Pakistan under any new name, either in individual capacity or as an organization. Severe punishment should be awarded to the SAFMA and its members for acting as fifth columns against the Islamic republic of Pakistan in these times of war and unrest.
1. Pakistan is ideological Islamic state created on the basis of two nation theory to be made a homeland for Muslims to live their lives on Quran and Sunnah. Five millions Muslims sacrificed their lives and over 10 million left their homes to migrate to Pakistan to create this sacred Islamic state for Muslims. Quaid e Azam wished Pakistan to be an Islamic state and Allama Iqbal is the visionary philosopher and the spiritual mentor of Quaid to envision this sacred land for Islam and Muslims.
 
 
2. Our elders passed the Objectives resolution to set the ideological bearings of this state and to make the future constitution and laws according to the Quran and Sunnah. Objectives resolution is now part of our Constitution. There are Islamic provisions in our Constitution which make it clear that no law in Pakistan can be made in violation to the Quran and Sunnah. Articles 62,63 give clear directions for appointments of members of parliament and rulers and all non – practicing "Muslims" cannot even enter the parliament or state offices.
 
3. It is against Pakistan's Constitution and a crime in Criminal procedure code as well as in Pemra laws to attack and humiliate the Islamic ideology of Pakistan. Attacking the two nation theory, Objectives resolution and Islamic character of the state and attacking and humiliating the armed forces of Pakistan is an offence severely punishable by law.
 
4. Our enemies, especially India, have always been waging a war against the state of Pakistan. In 1971, they attacked East Pakistan, supported insurgencies, spread lies and disinformation and worked hard to dilute the two nation theory by promoting provincial hatred resulting in breakup of Pakistan. Indira Gandhi took pride not in the military victory but in the fact that they have defeated the Ideological Piller of Pakistan, the two nation theory. She said in her victory celebrations that "today, the Indians have drowned the two nation theory into the Bay of Bengal". Our enemies know that if the ideology of Pakistan is destroyed, the entire state of Pakistan will then automatically cease to exist. Hence, the ideology, Islamic character and Islamic clauses of the constitution of Pakistan are always most vehemently attacked by the Indians and their paid agents.
 
5. Today, Pakistan is passing through the most critical phase of his history after the 1971 crisis. The country is already in a state of war and Pak army and the people have already given over 100,000 people shaheed and wounded in this imposed war. The American presence in Afghanistan has allowed the Indians to support multiple insurgencies and wars in Pakistani tribal areas, Baluchistan and in urban areas. Pakistan army and government are on record saying that these insurgencies are getting covert and clandestine support from foreign powers and India. US government is preparing grounds for an intervention in Baluchistan and great national security threats like Memo scandal have come to surface which has created a grave and unprecedented clash within the state organs weakening the state tremendously. Pakistan is being softened up for an invasion under US led Af-Pak and Indian led Cold Start military doctrine and a 4th generation war is already upon Pakistan where urban gangs, economic collapse and insurgencies are tearing the very fabric of the state and the nation.
 
6. In these most critical and dangerous critical times of national crisis and war, SAFMA is acting as the fifth column of the enemies within Pakistan media. SAFMA are ideological terrorists whose responsibility is to attack and destroy the Islamic ideology and Islamic clauses of the Objectives resolution and Constitution on behalf of the Indian intelligence and establishment and to "Hinduize" Pakistani society under its "soft war" through media and information warfare. SAFMA are the traitors, and hostile media assets within the Pakistani media responsible for
 
 
destroying Pakistan from within through massive information warfare against the ideology and the state security apparatus even the attacking the army and the ISI.
 
7. SAFMA is also responsible for promoting the political, diplomatic and security agenda of Indian government in Pakistan particularly. The stance of SAFMA on all security issues promote and extend the agenda of Indian government. Kashmir, Baluchistan, Terrorism, Pakistan army and ISI and "secularism" just to name a few where SAFMA's stance severely damages Pakistan, Pakistan army and the national security apparatus and interests.
 
8. None of the actions of SAFMA have ever created a crisis for the Indian government, RAW or the Indian army. All those incidents and events where Muslims are being suppressed or Indian state or Hindu extremists are involved in terrorism in Pakistan, SAFMA remains silent or takes the side of the Indian government. Kashmir, TTP and BLA violence, Samjhota express, Mumbai attacks to name a few.
 
9. Many most senior and patriotic analysts of Pakistan have raised serious objections over the objectives and agenda of SAFMA in Pakistan, also exposing their sinister agenda against the state and ideology of Pakistan. Pakistan's national security apparatus also treat SAFMA as hostile enemy entity.
 
I, as a concerned citizen of Pakistan, would strongly urge the honorable Chief Justice to take immediate and urgent notice of this seditious role of SAFMA and its managers and deal with them according to the law and Constitution.

Need for effective accountability apparatus underlined

Financial matters of ministers, departments need attention of authorities

 

Islamabad: [March 11]

The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Sunday underlined the need for effective accountability apparatus in the country.

 

Financial matters of many ministries and departments needs urgent attention of the authorities to ensure proper utilisation of funds which will guarantee national development, it said.

 

Stories of corruption appearing in press, Auditor General's reports and Transparency International Pakistan's findings should not fall on deaf years, said Mirza Riaz, Secretary General of the PEW.

 

Talking to a group of National Highways Authority (NHA) contractors, he said that almost every department is violating public procurement rules and other procedures.

 

Riaz said that NHA would swiftly transfer allocated funds to other projects and make adjustments in the finalised plans for achieving personal gains.

 

The department enjoys such an influence that agitations and accusations by Senators, MNA, Chief Ministers, PAC and resolutions in the assemblies would not force it to mend ways, he said.

 

ANP's persistent insistence on getting communication ministry in every coalition is amazing, the PEW official said.

 

He said that AG, NAB, FIA, PAC and TI-P have unearthed corruption cases to the tune of tens of billions in NHA which are tip of the iceberg. Adil Gilani has mentioned over 50 cases of corruption and irregularities but to no avail.

 

Blue-eyed contractors were paid despite poor quality of work while others are made to run from pillar to post for their dues, said Riaz.

 

The contractors informed that in Dec 2010 the Senate Committee on NHA termed it den of corruption. The then Chairman who would call contractors at home to strike deals with the help of GM Finance and Director Revenue.

 

Subsequently the then Chairman was removed but his cronies escaped, got promotions and they are still plundering the resources while Ministry of Communication has become a silent spectator, they informed.

 

The contractors said that the powerful mafia comprising member finance, director revenue and some others are calling the shots in NHA who have transformed this institution into a nursery of corruption.

 

After uproar on the national level, the NHA took some face measuring including dismissing 1800 employees while safeguarding the mafia. Shoaib Ahmed Khan, the head of the mafia got rapid promotions to become member finance from the post of GM Finance.

 

They lauded the move of Planning Commission to suspend the funds of NHA for spending Rs 20 billion in violation of the rules.
