| [DAWN] Two city coppers have been suspended for releasing a religious leader who was caught overnight but released after a civil judge granted him bail on Thursday. In a late night move, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif ... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf... ordered the suspension of Senior Superintendent of Islamabad Police Asmatullah Junejo and another officer for showing leniency to the activist of a religious outfit jugged Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! on charges of displaying weapons. According to a government?s front man, the prime minister ordered the action against the coppers to make them an example for other officers of the police and law enforcement agencies particularly at a time when the country was faced with menace of terrorism. A capital police press statement said that Mufti Tanveer Alam Farooqui of Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat ...which is the false nose and plastic mustache of the murderous bannedextremist group Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistain, whatcha might call the political wingof Lashkar-e-Jhangvi... (ASWJ) - a reincarnation of the banned Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistain ...a Sunni Deobandi organization, a formerly registered Pak political party, established in the early 1980s in Jhang by Maulana Haq Nawaz Jhangvi. Its stated goal is to oppose Shia influence in Pakistain. They're not too big on Brelvis, either. Or Christians. Or anybody else who's not them. The organization was bannedin 2002 as a terrorist organization, but somehow it keeps ticking along, piling up the corpse counts... sectarian group - was caught with his bodyguards for carrying arms but all were charged lightly by the police. Since the accused were not displaying their weapons when intercepted, the police thought they could not be booked on that charge, according to the press statement. IGP Tahir Alam Khan and Assistant Inspector General of Police Operation Dr Sultan Azam Temuri are inquiring into the matter. Dawn has, however, learnt from police and government officials that in view of the prevailing peculiar security situation SSP Mir Waiz Niaz of the Security Wing has been given additional charge of SSP Operations. Neither senior coppers of the city nor the suspended officers were available for comments. However, there's no worse danger than telling a mother her baby is ugly... ASWJ Islamabad?s President Ghulam Mustafa Baloch commented that the SHO could have granted bail to Mufti Tanveer Alam Farooqui but asked his colleagues to approach the court for the purpose, which they did. |
