| [DAWN] Police on Monday registered a terrorism case against leaders of the Tanzeemat-e-Ahle Sunnat -- an alliance of several religious parties of the Barelvi school of thought -- for allegedly inciting people to violence against the state and its institutions by raising the case of Mumtaz Qadri, the self-confessed and convicted killer of Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard 2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers 3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... governor Salman Taseer, during a rally in Nishtar Park a day earlier. At the Sunday event, speakers demanded a fresh trial of Mumtaz Qadri by the Federal Shariat Court, termed the death sentence handed down to him 'un-Islamic' and warned that they could go to any extent if the government failed to change its attitude. An official at the Soldier Bazaar cop shoppe said the FIR was lodged on behalf of the state under Sections 37 (cooperation by doing one of several acts constituting an offence), 147 (punishment for rioting), 149 (every member of unlawful assembly guilty of offence committed in prosecution of common object) and 341 (punishment for wrongful restraint) read with Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act 1997. "Around a dozen people have been nominated in the FIR and prominent among them are Sunni Tehrik ...formed in Karachi in 1992 under by Muhammad Saleem Qadri. It quickly fell to trading fisticuffs and assassinations 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... chief Sarwat Ejaz Qadri, Maulana Irshad Bukhari, Jamaat-e-Ahle Sunnat chief Syed Shah Turab-ul-Haq Qadri who addressed the conference. However, man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them... no arrest has been made yet." The police insisted that despite a clear warning the leaders of the multi-party alliance chose to defy the set rules. "The Tanzeemat-e-Ahle Sunnat has been organising such conferences for the past several years for which they take proper permission from the office of the deputy commissioner concerned and we provide all due security during the entire event," said Jamshed Town SP Dr Fahad Ahmed. |
