NEWS HEADLINES DETAILS Undeterred by Taliban KABUL: With Afghanistan heading for presidential and provincial council elections on April 5, onslaught, election candidates are defying Taliban security threats and campaigning across the country’s main cities. True to its promise of disrupting the democratic process, the Taliban carried out a series candidates take polls head of deadly attacks recently, including a suicide bombing of a five-star hotel on March 2 that on killed a foreign election observer and eight other people, forcing two major international Express Tribune 30th March,2014 election observer groups to pull out of Afghanistan. On Friday, the Taliban said they launched a suicide attack on a guest house of foreigners and an adjacent Church in Kabul, which was targeted because “invading countries are using the church to convert Afghans to Christianity.” “Attacks will continue and will keep on killing foreigners,” said Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid. Independent analysts say the withdrawal of watchdog organisations like National Democratic Institute (NDI) and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) could undermine the credibility of the vote. However, Afghan Independent Election Commission (IEC) officials have played down the absence of these groups, insisting that dozens more like them will stay to monitor the polls. IEC spokesman Noor Mohammad Noor says their panel has registered 14 international observer groups and the pullout of two missions would not disrupt the monitoring process, according to Pajhwok — an independent Afghan news agency. About 1,206 observation groups, including 67 local ones, have approached the IEC to monitor the elections and the commission has registered 150,000 individuals in this regard, including poll observers and media representatives, Noor says. By the looks of it, the Taliban are determined to spread pre-election terror. Afghanistan saw another bloody day on Tuesday when a group of suicide bombers stormed an election office in Kabul near the residence of key presidential candidate, Dr Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai. Taliban bombers also attacked a bank in Asadabad, the capital of eastern Kunar and a gathering in northern Kunduz province. Officials put the death toll of all three attacks at 15. Labelling the upcoming polls as ‘sham elections’, the Taliban have issued special instructions to their fighters to “target all its workers, activists, callers, security apparatus and offices”. In a statement last week, the Taliban leadership week called upon the people to “keep away from electoral offices, voting booths, rallies and campaigns”. The brazen attacks prompted calls from the IEC on the country’s security institutions to strengthen security for its employees and polling stations. IEC officials, however, remain confident that the group behind the violent attacks will not succeed in sabotaging Election Day. Despite the deadly security threat, many people are taking the risk and participating in election rallies across the country. On Friday, frontrunners Dr Abdullah Abdullah, Dr Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai and Dr Zalmai Rasoul made various public appearances in Mazar-e-Sharif, Kandahar and the capital, respectively. A recent survey conducted by the Free and Fair Election Foundation of Afghanistan (FEFA) reveals nearly 92% of Afghans support the elections and 75% want to cast their vote. “The will of the people is strong, especially among civil society and educated Afghans who want elections to be successful,” FEFA head Jandad Spinghar told The Express Tribune from Kabul. However, Spinghar remained cautious, saying they would keep a close watch on electoral fraud and the fragile security environment. Members of the Afghan media also remained hopeful regarding voter turnout despite Taliban attacks. “The Taliban are seditious fighters who are always resorting to insurgency and riots,” the Arman-e Melli newspaper noted in an editorial comment this week, adding the people should “stand up against the Taliban.”

Election commission in KABUL: Suicide bombers targeted buildings near the Independent Election Commission (IEC) headquarters in Kabul on Saturday, staff and police said, the latest in a spate of attacks ahead Kabul under attack by the of next week’s presidential election.m“I am here… the attack is going on around the IEC Taliban compound,” spokesperson Noor Mohammad Noor told Reuters by telephone from a safe room Express Tribune 29th March,2014 inside the building. An explosion was followed by gunfire, IEC staff and police said. The IEC compound is close to offices used by the United Nations Office Complex in Afghanistan (UNOCA) and other international organisations. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, the second launched against an IEC office in the capital this week as the attack by militants seeks to derail the April 5 election it calls a Western-backed “sham”. Noor said that IEC personnel were safe and that Afghan security forces were in control of their building. Police said that a nearby building that was privately owned had been targeted for reasons that remained unclear. “We can only confirm that a number of armed insurgents have entered a building close to the IEC,” said Kabul’s police chief spokesperson Hashmat Stanekzai. Another IEC official told Reuters that staff inside the compound feared the neighbouring building might be used by insurgents to fire on their headquarters because it was several stories high.

Sindh govt positive in KARACHI: The Sindh government has started working for holding free and fair Local Body holding LB polls on (LB) elections as par directives of apex court. The Chief Minister Sindh Qaim Ali Shah presiding over the meeting of the Ministerial Committee for LB elections arrangements directives of court discussed the modalities for transparent LB elections in peaceful atmosphere. Qaim Ali Shah Daily Times 23rd March, 2014 said he always have honoured the court decisions as such his government had already agreed to hold LB elections as par decision by the apex court in the near past. The meeting discussed over the short order of the court and showed its keen interest to go through detailed order of the apex court, which was yet to be received by the Sindh government. The Chief Minister directed the Secretary Law Mir Muhammad Shaikh and legal experts of the Sindh administration to prepare their working paper for holding LB elections with reference to apex court order and to fulfill its other formalities and put up the same in next meeting for evolving strategy to have local bodies elections in the province in transparent manner. The Sindh Minister for Local Government and Information Sharjeel Inam Memon, Sindh Minister for

Repeat episode Considering the party’s record, it was only a matter of time before the MQM joined the PPP’s rd Sindh government. Reports reveal that the predictable decision has been made, and a formal Pakistan Today 23 March, 2014 announcement will be made soon enough. The PPP and MQM were coalition partners in the previous provincial government, but failed to carry forward the arrangement after the May 2013 elections. Despite several differences on key matters such as the local body system, the two parties have agreed to once again sit together for the ‘greater good,’ as they often put it. In order to understand this consistently complicated relationship, it is imperative to understand the ethno-political dimensions which often dictate decisions such as the one under discussion. Broadly speaking, the Sindh province can be divided into two parts: urban and rural. Similarly, the demographic can also be divided in two categories: the Urdu-speaking Mohajirs and indigenous Sindhis. The former are concentrated in the major urban centers such as Karachi and Hyderabad, while the latter are spread out all over the province. Successive election results are a testament to this divide, as the MQM always emerges as the leading, if not sole, representative of the Urdu-speaking urbanites, while rural Sindh never fails to display its loyalty to the PPP. As a result of this, the provincial assembly is dominated by the PPP, with a noticeable presence of the MQM. Now, the PPP can easily do without the MQM as far as numbers are concerned, but running provincial affairs without including representatives of “Pakistan’s economic hub” can be very tricky. Perhaps too tricky, which explains why the MQM always receives an invitation to share power. Simply put, the MQM’s real strength is not just the number of people who vote for it, but the business-concentrated areas they are settled into. But, that is taking too positive a view of the situation. Sharing power means making unsavory compromises which often entail direct, negative consequences for the common people. Political expedience comes in the way of necessary action, as witnessed during the tenure of the previous MQM-PPP-ANP coalition government. While party leaders exchanged views over tea and biscuits, the lower cadres spilled each other’s blood in a never-ending turf war in Karachi. Harsh ground realities suggest that the new coalition will fail to return peace to the metropolis or bring prosperity to the wider province.

SC dismisses review KARACHI: Mar 20 (APP): Supreme Court of Pakistan has dismissed a review petition of Sindh Government against previous ruling of the apex court regarding the delimitation of election petition, orders LB elections constituencies.

PPP may propose former ISLAMABAD: PPP is considering the name of former chief justice Peshawar High Court and Justice Ajmal Mian for CEC ex-law secretary Justice (retd) Mian Muhammad Ajmal for the post of the Chief Election Commissioner. According to sources, the inner PPP circles feel that all the constitutional posts st The News 21 March,2014 have so far gone to the Punjab or Sindh and it would be better if the chief election commissioner is selected either from Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa or Balochistan. Sources said the PPP was divided on the name of Justice (retd) Rana Bhagwandas and the legislation that was tailored to pave the way for him to take up the post was blocked in the Senate by the PPP and its partners at the opposition benches despite its passage from the National Assembly with complete support of the PPP. The PPP took a tough stance in the Senate on a piece of legislation aiming to benefit one man and refused to compromise. Sources say it is likely that leader of the opposition in the National Assembly Syed Khursheed Shah may formally propose the name of Mian Muhammad Ajmal to the government once the government contacts him. The name of Justice (R) Mian Ajmal also came up for the post of NAB chairman a few months back and the opposition and the government agreed on his name but Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif disagreed saying the retired judge was secretary law ministry when General (R) Pervez Musharraf imposed November 3, 2007 emergency.Syed Khursheed Shah is also likely to consult the other opposition parties including PTI before proposing the name of Justice (R) Mian Ajmal to the government.

He submitted that it would take four months to prepare the draft legal bill and delimitation of constituencies for the LB elections. Muhammad Akram Sheikh, the counsel for the ECP, contended before the court that the Local Bodies Acts 7 and 10 were repugnant to the Constitution adding that the apex court had the jurisdiction to annul these acts. Meanwhile, the court reserved the judgment in the matter. The court, however, said that the ECP was authorised to hold the LG elections according to Article 140A of the Constitution.The court ruled that Sections 8 to 10 of the Punjab Local Government Act, 2013, and the relevant rules framed under this act were in contradiction to the Constitution as they empowered the provincial governments to carry out delimitation of the constituencies. Meanwhile, the court disposed of the ECP’s appeal. It is pertinent to mention here that the KP government has submitted before the court that it has completed the delimitation of constituencies for holding the LB elections in the province.

SC tells KP to prepare for LB ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court (SC) on Tuesday told Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government to complete within one month arrangement for local bodies (LB) elections in the polls in one month province. Earlier, the provincial government informed the apex court about completion of th The News 19 March, 2014 delimitation process for LB polls in the province in pursuance of its orders.A three-member bench, headed by Chief Justice Tassaduq Hussain Jillani, heard the LB polls case. Appearing on notice, KP Advocate General (AG) Abdul Latif Yusufzai informed the court that the provincial government has completed delimitation process for holding LB polls and issued notification in this regard. He said copy of the notification was also provided to Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP). He submitted that the KP government has issued notification but the issue of delimitation process in Sindh and Punjab is still pending with the apex court wherein the apex court is yet to decide as to whether the process of delimitation could be assigned to the ECP or not. He said if the court may assign the task to the ECP, then delimitation exercise done by the provincial government would stand abolished.He requested the court to find an amicable solution in the instant matter. The court observed that its decision about delimitation in Punjab and Sindh will be announced soon but in the meantime, the KP government should complete arrangements for holding the elections in the province. The court adjourned the hearing of the case for date in office.Also, the same bench heard review petition of Watan Party on election reforms, and sought comprehensive reply from the ECP within 15 days regarding the implementation of its orders in the instant matter. Bilal Minto, counsel for Wattan Party, submitted that some portions of two decisions of the court have not been implemented for which the ECP could be asked for its reply.At this, the court asked DG ECP Sher Afgan to appraise the court about the reasons due to which its orders were not yet implemented in letter and spirit. The DG ECP sought some time to submit reply.

Punjab govt criticised for not LAHORE: PTI Punjab President Ejaz Chaudhry and others have severely condemned the holding LG polls Punjab government for not holding the LG elections in the province. At a press conference here, the PTI Punjab leadership said that it was against the law and the constitution to not to th The News 6 March, 2014 hold the LG elections. Even the Supreme Court has asked many times to give date for holding local body elections but the ECP is silent on it, the party leaders said. The Tehreek e Insaaf Punjab leaders on the occasion also said that, according to Article 220, the ECP can take help of any institution of Pakistan to hold elections but the PML-N government has ignored what is written in the constitution. PTI leadership on the occasion demanded the ECP announce the date to hold local body elections as soon as possible, calling for holding the polls according to the constitution. The PTI leaders also alleged that that the land mafia of Punjab chief minister Shahbaz Sharif had completely changed the LDA boundaries to convert an agriculture land

into plazas and factories. The latest development in this regard is that the LDA has been extended from Lahore to Sheikhupura, Nankana Saheb and Kasoor just to make sure that the most fertile agricultural land is now available to them to further sale of their steel and construction business. Dr. Yasmin Rashid, the PTI Punjab General Secretary on the occasion severely condemned the prevailing lack of governance in Punjab, expressing grief and sorrow on the incident of a poor young mother who killed her own children. She said it was tragic that, because of the high cost of living caused by the inflation of the PML-N government, the poor were now forced to take the lives of their children as they could not afford even basic commodities and necessities for them. The press conference was addressed by MPA Aslam Iqbal, Andleeb Abbas and others. Meanwhile, in a seminar, the PTI leadership highlighted the importance of the International Women’s Day celebration while the chief guest gave a comprehensive talk on the role Pakistani women are playing and their contribution in non- traditional fields and professions. Dr Nasira Javed was the chief guest of the event which was arranged by Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf President Punjab Women Wing and office bearers for the International Women’s Day celebrations. Main speakers of the seminar included Saloni Bokhari, MPA Sadia Sohail, Shamsa Ali, Sarah Ahmed and others. Senior PTI Member Shamsa Ali, advocate, speaking on the occasion, brought to light the importance of encouraging and ingraining self respect of women in society. In her address, she specially discussed the contribution of women in the informal labour sectors, like the home based workers and domestic workers. She said that women formed about 85% of this vital sector. Shamsa Ali underlined the need for the Ratification of the ILO’s Conventions on Home Based Workers and Domestic Workers. This would facilitate the legislation of laws for the recognition of these women as workers under the Labour Laws of Pakistan and provide social security, etc, for this extremely marginalized sector consisting mainly of women and children. She also highlighted that the crimes against women had increased. Though laws had been legislated, their implementation remained absent due to lack of any effective mechanism and callous apathy on the part of the successive governments, she said. Sadia Sohail, an MPA, on the occasion apprised the gathering of PTI’s demand for the implementation of Women Protection Law (bill) in the assembly. She said the law would safeguard security of women, which had so far been avoided by those who had been in the government. Sarah Ahmed gave a presentation on the developments in the KPK by the PTI government, highlighting initiatives which affected women. Giving her concluding remarks, Saloni Bokhari highlighted the achievements of the KPK government. She said the previous two governments in KPK were unable to bring about any positive reforms regarding law and order and security situation in the province. She said the PTI was determined to change the situation and had already begun by working to establish a good policing system. The Health and Education reforms are gender tolerant and are being carefully monitored to benefit women, she said.

Consensus on Bhagwandas ISLAMABAD: The government and the opposition seem to have agreed on appointing Justice (retd) Rana Bhagwandas as the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC). Finance Minister Ishaq as new CEC Dar contacted the Leader of the Opposition Syed Khursheed Shah two days back to agree on th The News 7 March ,2014 a name to fill the vacant post. The latter sought time to discuss the name of the new CEC with other opposition parties and on Thursday conveyed to the government that the opposition parties had agreed on the name of Justice (retd) Bhagwandas as the new CEC. However, there is a legal hitch as Justice (retd) Bhagwandas has recently resigned as chairman of the Federal Public Service Commission. Sources said an amendment in the law is to be presented in the National Assembly on Friday to remove the legal hurdle in the appointment of Justice (retd) Rana Bhagwandas as the Chief Election Commissioner. Supreme Court Judge Justice Nasirul Malik has been serving as acting Chief Election Commissioner following the resignation of Justice (retd) Fakharuddin G Ebrahim, who relinquished the post after the general elections last year.

Internal incoherence: PML-N PESHAWAR: While coalition parties and opposition parties have been busy strategising for gropes in the dark ahead of local government (LG) polls, announcing alliances, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML- N) is yet to swing into electioneering action. The party has to resolve its internal rifts before it LG polls can expect success in these elections, say PML-N members. A grand meeting of the Khyber- Express Tribune 8th March Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) chapter of PML-N has been finally convened for Saturday (today) to discuss and formulate a strategy for LG elections. PML-N General Secretary Rahmat Salam Khattak told The Express Tribune on Friday that district presidents and general secretaries from across K-P have been summoned at the party’s provincial secretariat to discuss the matter. Incidentally, PML-N’s decision comes at the heels of the chief minister’s (CM) statement on Wednesday wherein he told a delegation of Insaf Student Federation that all preparations have been made for LG polls and April 30 has been proposed to the Supreme Court as the date for the election. “In the light of directives issued by the apex court, the provincial government is prepared for any date set up by the Election Commission of Pakistan,” said CM Pervez Khattak. Rahmat said Saturday’s meeting, the first for addressing LG polls, has been called to obtain feedback from district office bearers. Commenting on the election date proposed by the government, Rahmat said, “Keeping in view the many arrangements that need to be undertaken, it seems unlikely that LG polls will be held on April 30. More time will be needed to finalise a date.” According to a senior PML-N leader, until now the party had not taken any tangible steps regarding LG elections. “This is the first meeting the party has called regarding the polls while other political parties in K-P have already conducted several rounds of meetings,” he said. PML-N has its work cut out for the local bodies polls as it needs to set its own house in order first by bringing in individual performance-oriented leaders to work together in coordination in the larger interest of the party, he added. A PML-N stalwart

from Peshawar said the elections may not be smooth sailing for the party as it has to overcome many issues, especially bringing coherence in its ranks. “Because of the growing dissent within the party it is going through a tough time in K-P,” he said. Several leaders have left the party, including Farid Toofan who recently left to join Awami National Party-Wali, the breakaway faction of ANP formed by Begum Nasim Wali. “Fiaz Khan from Swat, Bahadur Khan and Rahim Shah from Mardan have also deserted the party,” he said. Another PML-N member said older activists are increasingly feeling disappointed for being left out in party decisions. “There are people who are at the helm of the party even though they only joined recently,” he contended. Considering the fact that ANP, Pakistan Peoples Party and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam- Fazl have already formed an alliance and have progressed towards chalking out a regional strategy, PML-N is only just taking it initial steps. The internal situation of PML-N as shared by some leaders indicates that the party will need extra efforts on the part of its leaders; firstly to pacify the feelings of dissent among its members and then decide which party it can form an alliance with for LG polls and on what terms.

Four election workers KABUL: An Afghan election commission official says four election coordinators were kidnapped in Afghanistan, kidnapped in Afghanistan's restive Nangarhar province, which borders neighboring Pakistan.Sareer Ahmed Barmal, a commissioner with the Independent Election Commission, says official told The Associated Press on Thursday that the four men were taken a day earlier and no one Dawn 13th March, 2014 has taken responsibility for their abduction or demanded a ransom.Barmal says area elders have been meeting in an attempt to discover the identities of the kidnappers in order to negotiate the release of the men. On Monday, the Taliban threatened violence ahead of Afghanistan's April 5 presidential elections, warning Afghans to stay away from the polls and promising attacks against election workers and Afghan security forces protecting them.

Punjab govt fearful of LB Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) provincial head Ejaz Ch has said that the party supports the high court’s decision to hold local body elections as early as possible in view of Punjab polls: PTI government’s efforts for delaying these elections. Addressing a local bodies’ workers th Pakistan Today 8 March,2014 convection in Sargodha, Ejaz Ch said that reason for the Punjab government to delay the polls was nothing but its pathetic performance. “They know with their present performance they will lose the elections. The constant economic pressures on a common man and the constant concessions to traders and the rich have proved that the PML-N is basically a party of the business class which only comes into power to make money and enrich their family and friends” Ejaz said. He said recent increase in electricity prices at a time when massive load shedding was taking place even in the winter showed the government intentions to further crush a common man in the coming summer. PTI leader Dr Yasmin Rashid said the federal government was now planning to hold a census mainly because it wanted the local body elections to be delayed so that the poor performance was not exposed in the elections results. He said the very fact that the government had insisted on holding non-party elections was a confirmation of the wrong intentions of the government. PTI Punjab Secretary Information Andleeb Abbas said the KPK govt had done all the experiments to hold local bodies’ elections through biometrics but the government appointed wrong people in NADRA who were refusing to hold biometric elections while giving reasons which were not valid at all. She said the PTI would protest against this attitude of NADRA’s and she demanded that elections based on biometrics be allowed in KPK and be made mandatory in all provinces.

Turbat incidents Expose BALOCHISTAN: Turbat incidents Expose Baloch Miscreants’ Cruelties By Sajjad Shaukat As Baloch Miscreants’ Cruelties a result of the elections 2013, the government led by a nationalist leader Chief Minister Balochistan Dr Abdul Malik Baloch has been established. Being progressive and moderate th Kashmir Watch 7 March,2014 man, he ensured that socio-economic justice would meet with success, while playing a key role in empowering Baloch leaders to manage the affairs of their province and also to participate in Pakistan’s decision-making process. And on December 7, 2013; local body’s elections were largely held in a peaceful manner in Balochistan. While terror-acts still keep on going in Balochistan, but without grasping reality, and speaking in the tone of external entities, some politicians, human rights activists and media persons of Pakistan have been propagating against Pak Army, Frontier Constabulary (FC), country’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Military Intelligence (MI) including other law-enforcing agencies regarding subversive acts in the province. It seems ridiculous when some of them allegedly say that security agencies are behind terrorist activities in Balochistan. It is mentionable that India, the US and Israel have been internationalizing the Balochistan issue in accordance with their secret designs. In this respect, in connivance with the Baloch separatist leaders who have taken refuge in Switzerland, Sweden, US and London, these foreign elements use media, various NGOs and human rights organizations for false propaganda against Pakistan’s security forces and ISI in relation to extrajudicial killings, mutilated bodies and the missing persons. It is notable that Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) is also in collusion with some US Congressmen to get foreign support so as to animate the scheme of separatism in Balochistan. For the purpose, BLA and the Baloch feudal lord, Khan of Kalat had planned to take the issue of Balochistan to International Court of Justice (ICJ) and expected that India would pay $2.4 million lawyers’ fee to contest their case in ICJ. As Indian support did not get materialized, BLA and Khan of Kalat went over to US leaders to press forward their case. In February 8, 2012, three Republican Congressmen including Dana Rohrabacher, Louie Gohmert and Steve King tabled a bill before US Congress stating, “Balochistan is currently divided between Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan with no sovereign rights of its own. In Pakistani Balochistan the people are subjected to violence and extrajudicial killings.” The bill favoured Baloch rights of self-determination, having a sovereign state.Earlier, the US subcommittee on ‘Oversight and Investigations of the House

Committee on Foreign Affairs’ convened a hearing on extrajudicial killings and violation of human rights in Baluchistan. Rohrabacher chaired the meeting, while Lt. Col. (R) Ralph Peters testified. Lt. Col. (R) Peters is the architect of infamous 2006—New Middle East map and is an advocator for the disintegration of Muslim states on sectarian and religious lines. His map shows a number of Islamic countries including Pakistan as truncated. While writing in the June 2006 issue of The Armed Forces Journal of the US, he had suggested Washington about the creation of a “Greater Balochistan” which would integrate the Baloch areas of Pakistan with those of Iran—and the Frontier Province (Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa) should be incorporated into Afghanistan.” Although the US Administration quickly distanced itself from Congressional hearing by Rohrabacher and Peters’ testimony, yet US denial does not augur well with ground reality, as American think tanks, NGOs and websites go on instigating the separatist elements in Baluchistan. US State Department which funded National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and Voice of Baluchistan (VOB) have been instrumental in fomenting dissension and nationalistic feelings in the province. It has been pressurizing Pakistan to allow opening of a US consulate in Quetta. The aim is to execute America’s clandestine aims against Islamabad.As regards the deteriorating situation of Balochistan and the missing persons, everyone knows the foreign-backed separatist groups such as the BLA, Baloch Liberation Front (BLF), Baloch Republican Army (BRA) and their affiliated outfits including another group, Jundollah (God’s soldiers) which have been fighting for secession of the province get logistic support from American CIA and Indian RAW—these miscreants kidnapped and killed many innocent people and the security personnel in the province. They also massacred many persons through suicide attacks, bomb blasts, targeted killings and sectarian violence. Therefore, they are responsible for dumped bodies and extrajudicial killings in the province. On a number of occasions, these militant outfits claimed responsibility for their subversive acts. In fact, miscreants in Balochistan employ coercive techniques and cruel methods to intimidate local people to expand their influence and enlarge their support base. Their oppressive tactics are extremely harsh, as they cruelly kill innocent people and throw away the dead bodies to inflict psychological pain to the bereaved families, impersonating their frightening clout and masquerading posture. These ruthless killers demonstrate their real mischief by shifting the blame of their heinous crimes to law-enforcement agencies including FC, MI and ISI. Hence, by playing the double game, they manage to conceal their brutalities, and present themselves as victims. Unfortunately, due to their vested interests and insular mindset, some media analysts and political leaders of Pakistan fall prey to the elusive schemes and deceptive plans of the Baloch miscreants. In this regard, investigative media, judiciary and elite leadership have not been able to uncover the real designs of the militants who frequently assassinate innocent civilians in Balochistan through cruel techniques, and then openly grumble through media by insinuating that security forces and law-enforcing agencies are responsible for such killings.In this respect, illegal abduction and cold blooded murder of the 14 years young boy, namely, Chakkar, son of Khuda Dost, resident of Turbat city, is a case in point. On January 7, 2014 at 4 PM, a group of unknown motorcyclists kidnapped Chakkar from Turbat city’s fish market. After three days, his bullet-ridden body was found from Kech Kour-Koshkalat area of Turbat, and handed over to his family. Later on, the miscreants propagated that ISI was involved in abduction and killing of an innocent child. But, technical probe, undoubtedly, proved that miscreants of the BRA were involved in kidnapping and merciless killing of that young boy.After knowing the true picture of the incident, on January 16, 2014, a protest demonstration was staged by family members and relatives of the late Chakkar at the Main Chowk in Turbat in front of Press Club Turbat, District Kech. he aggrieved protesters chanted slogans against BLF and BRA for targeting guiltless people. They demanded from the government to eliminate terrorist organizations which have been targeting innocent persons of Mekran Division and are disturbing law and order situation in the area. Another similar demonstration was held on January 18, 2014 at Press Club Turbat by the relatives of Javed, resident of Azian, Tehsil Tump, District Kech, who was also killed by the Baloch miscreants of the BLF on December 21, 2013 in Hochat area, Tehsil Dasht, District Kech. Besides, on November 27, 2013, in Turbat, District Kech, Abdul Karim from Zehri (Khuzdar) was abducted by the BRA culprits and his body was thrown away on November 28, 2013. The poor fellow was a popcorn seller, but was eliminated by trigger-happy and power hungry culprits of the BRA.Similarly, on November 12, 2013 in Turbat city, four miscreants of the BRA murdered two sweepers and fled away. Both the deceased persons were government servants, employed at Technical Training Centre Turbat and belonged to Sindh. While, on November 14, 2013, the cruel insurgents of the BRA killed a laborer, namely, Qadir Bakhsh, resident of Sindh. The incident took place at Dashti Bazaar Turbat, District Kech and the youth was brutally massacred, due to pistol used by the BRA terrorists. And on November 18, 2013, three innocent persons belonging to Dera Ghazi Khan, namely, Mulazim, Abdullah and Mustafa were killed by the terrorists of the BLF in Josak area, Tehsil Turbat and District Kech. Now, instead of shifting the blame game to the security forces, ISI and other law-enforcing agencies, our responsible media anchors and commentators must expose the real face of foreign enemies— assisting the Baloch miscreants who are not only involved in kidnapping the innocent civilians, but are also behind their cold blooded murder including mutilated bodies and extra-judicial killings.

BE INFORMED ELECTION BULLETIN 10

ELECTION FRAMEWORK NEWS ISLAMABAD: Pakistani crew members of the oil tanker, Morning Glory, which was stopped by Pakistani crew of Morning the US navy off Cyprus off the coast of Libya, have been released and they should be heading Glory to return home soon: back to Pakistan soon, depending on the availability of flights, said foreign office spokesperson FO said on Thursday. During the weekly briefing at the foreign office in Islamabad on Thursday, th spokesperson Tasneem Aslam said that the Pakistan Embassy in Libya was informed that the Express Tribune 27 March,2014 crew have been cleared by the Libyan authorities after an investigation and they would be heading home soon. Libya had complained that some vessels, registered in the names of various countries, were taking Libyan oil illegally and apparently, that was the case with regard to Morning Glory as well, said FO spokesperson. On March 19, 2014 the UN Security Council adopted a resolution under which illegal acquisition of Libyan oil has become an international crime, while the crew of Morning Glory were arrested on March 17, the foreign office urged Pakistanis to work only with authentic, well established companies so that they are not caught in a situation like this. Nuclear Suppliers Group Responding to a question regarding chances of Pakistan being included in the Nuclear Suppliers Group, Aslam said Pakistan has a long standing engagement with the Nuclear Suppliers Group and have held meeting in Islamabad as well. Pakistan sought access to nuclear technology to meet its energy requirements and for use in medical and agricultural elds. “We be lieve that selective approach undermines the credibility of all these arrangements.” “We are interested and we feel that we qualify for inclusion. Not only that we adhere to the criteria but also, at this summit, Pakistan’s credentials as a responsible nuc lear state have been acknowledged. We hope that we will be able to convince the Nuclear Suppliers Group in this regard”, the spokesperson added. No evidence of militants going to Syria from Pakistan On a question whether US government has contacted Pakistan after a report in New York Times report alleged that al Qaeda militants have been travelling from Pakistan to Syria, the spokesperson said that “US has not shared this information with us.” “There have been no contacts and we have no information how al Qaeda could be traveling from Pakistan to Syria.” US aid to Pakistan On a question whether US has decided to cut the aid given to Pakistan, the foreign office spokesperson said that the US House Foreign Relations Committee had approved this but it is a long process. “The House of Representatives has not done it yet. Therefore, it is pre -mature to comment on it.” Responding to a question halt of the US drone strikes in Pakistan, Aslam said that at the moment there are no drone strikes and Pakistan expects the US would continue this policy since drone strikes are counterproductive with a growing consensus on that view. Referring to a resolution by the European Parliament and reports presented to the Human Rights Council Session by Ben Emerson, Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms, hearings in the British, Dutch and the European Parliaments on the question of drone strikes, the foreign office spokesperson said that in view of a very strong international consensus emerging, hopefully the US will refrain from resuming strikes. Accusations Modi In response to the question regarding accusations made by the Indian prime ministerial candidate Narender Modi that Pakistani backed militants are involved in terrorist activities in Indian Kashmir, the foreign office said they saw the statement as part of the election season in India. “Unlike Pakistan where India is not an election issue, in India, Pakistan becomes an election issue unfortunately.” On the allegation, Aslam said that Pakistan condemns terrorism as Pakistan itself has been a victim of terrorism which has its roots in the events in the region over the last 30 years. Mediation in Kashmir Commenting on question regarding the Indian rejection of Nawaz Sharif’s demand that the play a mediator’s role in solving the Kashmir issue, Aslam said Jammu and Kashmir issue is one of the oldest disputes on UN Security Council agenda and a United Nations Military Observer Group is deployed in India and Pakistan. “It is important for India and Pakistan to resolve this issue in order to move like other regions towards developing good neighborly relations,” she said. “What Prime Minister [Nawaz] essentially said in The Hague is that if there is reluctance on Indian side to resolve this issue bilaterally, our common friends can help convince India to come to the negotiating table. It’s not an internal aair of India.” Ban on flag waving of foreign countries during WorldT20 On a question regarding Bangladesh government’s deci sion of not allowing Bangladeshi spectators to hold flags or to cheer the Cricket team of Pakistan during the World Twenty20, the spokesperson said that it was not a Pakistan specific issue and that spectators were asked not to carry flags of other countries, applicable to all the countries participating in the tournament. “As regards the rights of the spectators, because these events generate revenue both for ICC and the host government, it is in the domain of the ICC. ICC negotiates the framework with the host government. ICC has already taken up this matter,” said Aslam. She further said that as a participant in this event, Pakistan had raised some security issues with Bangladesh which were resolved to satisfaction.

Jostling for votes in India Published on 8th March, 2014 By Express Tribune When the hurly burly is done, India will have a government at the confronting anyone. He is a highly intelligent and shrewd player, centre, hopefully. But for the next month, politics will be at its worst, and while his style might offend the educated elite, it does strike a and sometimes even at its best, as leaders jostle for space in the chord with in his target audience of the lower-middle class –– the new alignments to make their own presence felt amongst the poor and the marginalised. The party is like a big potpourri of all constituents. kinds of members, and hence all kinds of opinions.

That would be a in 2009, the Indian media complained it was an issue-less half-truth. The average Indian voter doesn’t care about right and election. 26/11 had happened a few months ago but the dust on left. In Delhi, people with right-wing inclinations don’t vote for the that had settled down.

The second term of the Manmohan Singh-led the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will win –– where, why and how. But United Progressive Alliance has been more unpopular than any the AAP has dominated the discourse so emphatically that the government in recent history. The mood in the Congress party BJP looks like the incumbent and the AAP looks like the right now is of such melancholy, it seems as if the election results opposition. The BJP’s inability to answer the AAP’s questions are already out. The bets about the Congress party are whether it about its relations with India’s real ruler, Mukesh Ambani, makes it will win fewer seats than their worst performance (106 of 543) or look a lot like the Congress. I can’t wait for the results!

India’s electoral alliances Published on 23rd March, 2014 Express Tribune

The defeat of the Congress party in next month’s elections will make any pretenses of differentiating between the Congress and also bring the end of the United Progressive Alliance’s (UPA) the BJP. The journalist, Shekhar Gupta, came up with the term existence. The UPA, just like its rival, the National Democratic ‘ATM ministries’ to define those portfolios, such as telecom, that Alliance (NDA), was a construct rather than an actual coalition of the Tamilians demand because of their money-making potential. like-minded parties. This will remain true for the next formation as well. If the opinion Once the government wraps up and the cabinet jobs are handed polls are accurate and the Bharatiya Janata Party is on track to back, the UPA will dissolve itself rather than remain as a coherent win no more than 200 seats, and in constant need of a few dozen opposition. And most of the people who backed the Congress for votes, it will be in a similar position as the Congress. The cost to being secular or progressive will now back the BJP for being prop up the government will be the surrendering of large parts of it focused on development. to the Tamilians, whether they are Jayalalitha’s MPs or Karunanidhi’s. It will also mean giving regional parties a veto on In some ways, the UPA had ceased being ‘progressive’, the foreign policies that concern their state.

The NDA was put together by the Janata Dal (JD) in Bihar, which Today, the UPA is only the Congress and its state partners in exited the alliance last year after Narendra Modi’s nomination as Maharashtra and Kerala, and little else. And in Maharashtra, it is prime ministerial candidate. In a way, this exit by the JD signaled not really an alliance so much as rival factions of the same party, the end of the NDA because the only allies remaining with the with one side headed by Sharad Pawar. In Kerala also, the BJP were those who supported it before the NDA was formed.

It is said that the BJP becomes Many, many more parties have left the UPA over time than remain secular at 180 seats and no doubt that is what will happen this with it.

The politics of elections Published on 29th March, 2014 Express Tribune Just when it seemed that at least the 2014 general elections in Indian elections are all about the imponderables that somehow India would pass without the usual bogey references to Pakistan, escape the media and pollsters, particularly in complex states like the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate, Narendra Modi, did the Uttar Pradesh (UP) and Bihar where caste equations dominate needful and described Indian Defence Minister AK Antony and his and Muslims usually resort to tactical rather than bulk voting.

But again, occupy from the onset. while it will probably drop below 100 seats, the Indian electorate has a strange way of upping the ante by doing the unpredictable However, now the Gujarat chief minister has started feeling the and the Congress could end up with a little more respectable heat as even the Congress party seems to have revved up its act three-digit score.

It has also been on campaigns, and are now firmly in the fray where the BJP and the communalism, but not overtly as secular India is feeling the Congress are both at the receiving end. So there is criticism of pressure of these polls. All eyes are thus on the regional parties Modi and the BJP, with the chieftains of the federal parties just that are still responding to federal goals and are led by astute about starting a blistering attack on him and, of course, the politicians who know the ground and their constituents well.
