| 2011-09-09 |
| [Dawn] Taking strong exception to the recent attacks on security checkposts in Chitral from Afghanistan, the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa ... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... cabinet has warned that such incidents will not be tolerated in future. "Pakistain will no more tolerate such incidents and our forces can take extreme step in this regard," Minister for Information Mian Iftikhar Hussain told journalists after a cabinet meeting here on Wednesday. The 39th meeting of the provincial cabinet was held with Chief Minister Ameer Haider Khan Hoti in the chair. The minister said that such attacks could worsen ties between Afghanistan and Pakistain to an uncontrollable level. "The Afghan government and NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... forces will be responsible for it," he added. He said that Pakistain had also drawn attention of Afghan government and NATO forces towards similar attacks in Shaltalo Dara area of Upper Dir but to no avail.Mr Hussain demanded of the Afghan government, NATO forces and United Nations ...what started out as a a diplomatic initiative, now trying to edge its way into legislative, judicial, and executive areas... to take note of the continued attacks by forces of Evil on Pak checkposts from the Afghan soil. "The provincial cabinet was astonished to hear that forces of Evil were wearing uniforms of NATO and Afghan forces. It seems that the attacks have either been carried out in connivance with NATO and Afghan forces or they are incapable to stop them," he said. The minister said that silence of NATO and Afghan forces about the cross border attacks created many questions. "The NATO forces are staying in Afghanistan under the UN mandate and action against forces of Evil is their prime responsibility. If NATO is not taking action against forces of Evil then it has some other agenda," he said. Mr Hussain said that cabinet stressed on tight security in prisons as keeping forces of Evil with ordinary criminals could cause any mishap. "In fact forces of Evil cannot be kept with other prisoners but the provincial government has no separate jails for them," he said. He said that government decided to keep prisoners placed in durance vile on charges of militancy in Kohat and Lakki jails. Army would be deployed for the security of the two jails, he added. He said that government also decided to install jammers in prisons to stop forces of Evil from regrouping and contacting their colleagues because use of cellular phones was common in jails.He said that chief secretary was tasked to present recommendations till September 20 for improving security of prisons. Regarding compensation to flood survivors, the minister said that the first installment was paid while second and third installment each of Rs20,000 would be given to them in the current month. He said that provincial police chief also briefed the cabinet as after the liquidation of the late Osama bin Laden ... who went titzup one dark and stormy night... in Abbottabad, sharp increase was witnessed in sabotage activities. He said that 727 acts of terrorism took place in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa in 2009, while in 2010 such incidents reduced to 252. "In 2011, so far 231 incidents have taken place," he added. |
