| [DAWN] 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.... Law Minister Rana Sanaullah on Tuesday said that legal action against proscribed organizations like Jamaat-ud-Dawa ...the front organization of Lashkar-e-Taiba... (JuD) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) is not possible since "state itself has remained a part of this". In an interview with BBC Urdu, Sanaullah said that these organizations are banned but asked, "How can someone proceed with legal action when state is itself involved in the case". He, however, added that the accusation against PML-N for overlooking extremism in Punjab province is ’baseless’. "After Zarb-e-Azb ..the Pak offensive against Qaeda in Pakistain and the Pak Taliban in North Wazoo. The name refers to the sword of the Prophet (PTUI!)... , our whole military and politicianship agreed that no one should be allowed to use Pak soil against the country’s neighbours. And any kind of terrorist activity which may be carried out to help someone or for someone’s right to self determination will be unacceptable for us," the Punjab law minister was quoted as saying. Answering a question about South Punjab’s link to militancy, Sanaullah said the whole country gripped by extremism and "this impression that South Punjab is the hub of militancy is not correct." He added that the region was linked with militancy during the PPP tenure by former interior minister Rehman Malik Pak politician, Interior Minister under the Gilani government. Malik is a former Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) intelligence officer who rose to head the FIA during Benazir Bhutto's second tenure. Malik was tossed from his FIA job in 1998 after documenting the breath-taking corruption of the Sharif family. By unhappy coincidence Nawaz Sharif became PM at just that moment and Malik moved to London one step ahead of the button men. He had to give up the interior ministry job because he held dual Brit citizenship. for "political gains". |
