Stopping banned outfits from collecting hides
[Dawn] The Counter Terrorism Department has informed the Punjab government to stop banned outfits including Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) from collecting hides of sacrificial animals and those involved in it should be booked under Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA), it has been learnt.The Punjab police chief through a letter was informed that various religious organizations, including proscribed outfits setup camps to collect sacrificial hides on the occasion of Eidul Azha every year, but no effective action has been taken against them. It is also said: "It is high time that all stakeholders, including police and district administration take effective steps to stop banned ...the word bannedseems to have a different meaning in Pakistain than it does in most other places. Or maybe it simply lacks any meaning at all... organizations -- including TTP, Jamaat-ud-Dawa ...the front organization of Lashkar-e-Taiba... proscribed by United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... from setting up camps to collect sacrificial hides on Eid day." The letter sent to the IGP contained the names of 40 organizations and outfits banned by the federal government and the United Nations. "The soft handling of such organizations will earn a bad name for the country," it was said. The banned organizations included, Jamaat-ud-Dawa, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi ... a 'more violent' offshoot of Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistain. LeJ's purpose in life is to murder anyone who's not of utmost religious purity, starting with Shiites but including Brelvis, Ahmadis, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Rosicrucians, and just about anyone else you can think of. They are currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of al-Qaeda ... , Sipah-e-Muhammad Pakistain, Lashkar-e-Taiba ...the Army of the Pure,an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI... , Jaish-e-Muhammad, while Sunni Tehrik ...formed in Karachi in 1992 under by Muhammad Saleem Qadri. It quickly fell to trading fisticuffs and liquidations with the MQM and the Sipah-e-Sahaba, with at least a half dozen of its major leaders rubbed out. Sunni Tehreek arose to become the primary opposition to the Deobandi Binori Mosque, headed by Nizamuddin Shamzai, who was eventually bumped off by person or persons unknown. ST's current leadership has heavily criticized the Deobandi Jihadi leaders, accusing them of being sponsored by Indian Intelligence agencies as well as involvement in terrorist activities... (ST) had been kept under observation by the federal government. A senior police official when contacted said no banned organization will be allowed to setup its camp or collection points in the city during Eid days. He further said anybody who tried to violate the government ban to collect hides or raise funds will be resisted and brought to justice according to the law. Posted by: Fred 2012-10-18 |
