ASWJ ends protests after talks with authorities
 [Dawn] Activists of Ahle Sunnat Waljamaat (ASWJ)The false nose and mustache of Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistain. late on Friday ended their sit-ins in Quetta and Bloody Karachi after successful conclusion of talks with the authorities, DawnNews reported. The sit-ins were staged against security forces operation to arrest its workers in Quetta. The organization is "banned," which would seem to necessitate some sort of action against it in any kind of normal universe. Security agencies had launched a targeted operation against ASWJ and 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 ... (LeJ) when more than 90 people, mostly Hazara Shias, bit the dust in a blast in Quetta's Hazara Town on Feb 16. It was the second most deadly attack this year on the ethnic minority following a Jan 10 bombing at a snooker club in the city which killed over 100 people. The LeJ had grabbed credit of the Feb 16 Kirani Road attack. The ASWJ activists shouted slogans against the arrests of their fellow workers as they staged sit-ins in Quetta and Bloody Karachi. The announcement of ending protests was made after prolonged talks with the home secretary Balochistan  ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... and the CCPO Quetta, in which it was agreed that cases would be registered against personnel of the Frontier Constabulary (FC) involved in arresting the ASWJ activists. Subsequently sit-ins in Bloody Karachi were also called off upon receiving reports of successful conclusion of the talks. Meanwhile, ...back at the palazzo, Count Guido had escaped from his bonds and overwhelmed his guard using the bludgeon the faithful Filomena had smuggled to him in the loaf of bread... angry mobs erupted into the streets in Bloody Karachi's Sohrab Goth and Malir City areas. Shops and small businesses were reportedly shut after the uproar. In a related development, LeJ leader Malik Ishaq was tossed in the clink I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece! under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) law on the orders of the Punjab provincial government in Rahim Yar Khan. Ishaq is said to be one of the founders of the LeJ, which is accused of sectarian violence and has claimed several attacks on the ethnic Hazara Shia population in Balochistan. He's been "in jug" umpty two times, most of them house arrest, and he's been sprung every time. Judges in Pakistain do that when you threaten to murder them. Attacks targeting Shias in Pakistain have claimed almost 200 lives already this year. Human Rights Watch ... dedicated to bitching about human rights violations around the world... said more than 400 were killed in 2012, the deadliest on record for Shias. Posted by: Fred 2013-02-23 |
