IMRAN KHAN & WAZIRISTAN

IMRAN KHAN'S PEACEFUL MARCH TO WAZIRISTAN

• Waziristan

Waziristan comprises the area west and southwest of Peshawar between theTochi River to the north and the Gomal River to the south. Bannu, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa lies immediately to the east. The region was an independent tribal territory until 1893, remaining outside the British Empire. Tribal raiding into British-ruled territory was a constant problem for the British,
eliciting frequent punitive expeditions between 1860 and 1945. The region became part of Pakistan in 1947.For administrative purposes, Waziristan is divided into two "agencies", North Waziristan and South Waziristan, with estimated populations (as of 1998) of 361,246 and 429,841 respectively. The two parts have quite distinct characteristics, though both tribes are subgroups of the Wazir Tribe and speak a common Wazirwola language. They have a reputation as formidable warriors, and are known for their frequent blood feuds

• HISTORY OF DRONE ATTACKS                     

In the aftermath of Battle of Tora Bora, formal deployment was begun by thePakistan Army, at the request of the Pakistan Government, in 2002. The XI Corps, under its core-commander Lieutenant-General Ali Jan Aurakzai. The XI Corps entered the Tirah Valley in the Khyber Agency for the first time since Pakistan independence in 1947. The troops later moved into the Shawal Valley of North Waziristan, and eventually South Waziristan. The Naval Special Service Group established a reconnaissance base and began to monitor suspicious activities in the area. The troubles mounted as the Tribes began to see Army's deployment and repeated Air Force's flights in the region as an act of subjugation.

In December 2003, two assassination attempts against President Pervez Musharraf were traced to Waziristan. The government responded by intensifying military pressure on the area, however the fighting was costly and government forces sustained heavy casualties throughout 2004 and into early 2005 when the government switched to a tactic of negotiation instead of direct conflict

The U.S. attack came as the Pakistani army is preparing an all-out assault on al Qaeda ally Mehsud, who has been accused of orchestrating a campaign of bombings in Pakistan, including the 2007 assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto.

The push into South Waziristan on the Afghan border looms as the army is finishing off an offensive in the Swat valley, northwest of Islamabad, launched after Taliban gains raised fears for nuclear-armed Pakistan’s future.
Pakistan is a vital ally for the United States as it strives to defeat al Qaeda and stabilize Afghanistan, where thousands of extra U.S. soldiers are arriving.
U.S. President Barack Obama’s national security adviser, Jim Jones, arrived in Pakistan on a trip that includes stops in Afghanistan and India aimed at following up on the implementation of a new U.S. strategy for the region.
He will meet civilian and military leaders, a spokesman said.

The pilotless U.S. drone strike late on Tuesday, on a funeral for one of six militants killed in a similar strike earlier in the day, suggests closer coordination between the United States and Pakistan.
But Pakistan, which officially objects to such strikes, is unlikely to confirm that in a country where many people are suspicious of the alliance with the United States in its global campaign against militancy.
Intelligence officials said late on Tuesday 45 people had been killed in the drone attack as mourners were leaving the funeral. On Wednesday, they said about 70 people had been killed. A Taliban official said Mehsud had been in the area but was not hurt. Security officials and villagers said the Taliban had sealed off the site.

“Bodies are still lying there and the Taliban are not allowing anybody close while their men are coming and going in vehicles,” resident Ghulam Rasool told Reuters by telephone.

Taliban spokesman Wali-ur-Rehman said 65 people had been killed and many would be buried in mass graves.

“Most of the bodies are charred beyond recognition so it’s been decided they’ll be buried in three graves,” he said.
On Wednesday, the militants fired at U.S. drones flying over the remote, mountainous region and at least two turned back, said another resident.

TALIBAN CLAIM KILLING RIVAL

The military has been launching air strikes on Mehsud’s bases for more than a week while soldiers have been securing main roads into the region, sealing off his stronghold.
A military convoy, including tanks and armored personnel carriers, headed toward the area on Wednesday, a Reuters reporter in the region said.
Tuesday’s drone attacks happened hours after a gunman working as a guard killed a rival of Mehsud who had spoken out strongly against the Taliban chief.
Rehman said the Taliban had killed the rival militant leader, Qari Zainuddin, and warned others not to support the government.
“Whoever extends a hand of support to the government will be targeted the same way,” he said.
The killing of Zainuddin, in the North West Frontier town of Dera Ismail Khan, showed Mehsud’s reach and would be a setback for government efforts to win over ethnic Pashtun tribal factions for the campaign against Mehsud, analysts said.

Nearly 1,600 militants and more than 100 soldiers have been killed in the Swat offensive, according to the military. There has been no independent confirmation of those casualty figures.
The imminent army operation in South Waziristan has forced about 45,000 people to flee the region and join about two million people uprooted by fighting in Swat and other areas.
The offensive against the Taliban has widespread support among politicians and the public but a fragile civilian government could see that backing evaporate if the displaced are seen to be suffering unduly.

• War in North-West Pakistan

The War in North-West Pakistan is an armed conflict between the Pakistan Armed Forces and armed religious groups such as the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Lashkar-e-Islam, TNSM, 055 Brigade, and Central Asian militants including Al-Qaeda, regional armed movements, and elements oforganized crime.

The armed conflict began in 2004 when tensions, rooted in the Pakistan Army's search for Al-Qaeda fighters in Pakistan's mountainous Waziristan area (in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas), escalated into armed resistance. Pakistan's actions were presented as its contribution to the international War on Terror. Clashes erupted between Pakistani army troops and Arab and Central Asian militia forces. The foreign militants were joined by Pakistani non-military veterans of the War in Afghanistan (2001–present) which subsequently established the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan and other militia organizations such as Lashkar-e-Islam. The Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TSNM) established in 1992 allied with the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan and Lashkar-e-Islam.

• SOUTH WAZIRISTAN REHABILITATION

In 2009, about 0.5 million Mehsuds were displaced. After a lapse of two years, their repatriation / rehabilitation has commenced in phases. Overall devastation / damage caused in south Waziristan was enormous due to stiff resistance offered by the terrorists. There are hardly any civic amenities / infrastructure left and livelihood opportunities have totally dried up. Effectees were compounded due to torrential rains and floods for two year. However despite these challenges, full bloom rehabilitation  has begun.

Residents of South Waziristan Agency, who saw their hometowns reduced to rubble by the militancy are triumphantly returning home since Dec 2010.The military has taken the rehab as a challenge and put in a deliberate effort to speed up the rehab of infrastructure and civic amenities - an achievement that many are calling a sign of blossoming peace and the end of an era when militants imposed their rule with guns. Army will not abandon the tribal people and will continue to play its role in rehabilitation of the Displaced People and development of the area.

• IMRAN KHAN STANDS ON DRONES 
       ATTACKS IN WAZIRISTAN      

Quoting special references from world famous historians, politicians and journalist, he said the UN has declared drone attacks as violation of the international law but it is the government of Pakistan which is showing unscrupulousness in this regard.

 Expressing determination over his struggle against drone attacks, Imran Khan has said that his party has no doubts in holding long march towards Waziristan.
While addressing a press conference at Marri, he said that military operation should be launched in consultation with masses who are real actors of the state. Operation in North Waziristan may be succeeded with the cooperation of masses, he added.
He said the government had come to power in order to follow the US agenda; that is why it is not raising voice to halt drone attacks particularly in Northern areas.
We are expecting over 1, 00,000 participants in the March and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf is fully determined to hold it, he said.
“We just have to determine dates to hold march and today’s meeting with tribal delegations is a step for it,” he further added. Without referring North or South Waziristan, Khan informed that detailed route and logistic plan was underway for the march.



“The tribesmen will themselves arrange security for the participants,” he further said and added that no other party could dare to go to the area.
Throwing light on drone issues, he said that drone attacks are clear-cut violation of the national sovereignty but regrettable to come to know that the US is killing innocent people with the permission of the government of Pakistan.
Quoting special references from world famous historians, politicians and journalist, he said the UN has declared drone attacks as violation of the international law but it is the government of Pakistan which is showing unscrupulousness in this regard.

He said that foreign journalists would also accompany with the PTI caravan leading to northern areas to raise the issue on international level; so that US barbarism may be stopped to keep law and order in northern areas.

• IMRAN KHAN'S PEACE MARCH TO WAZIRISTAN

“The people of Waziristan are supportive of our peace march,” Khan told reporters, adding that security arrangements for the march would be undertaken by locals of the tribal region. Khan said a convoy of local and international journalists would be a taken along to the tribal regions in PTI’s ‘peace march.’

The PTI chief insisted that a military operation in North Waziristan could only be successful if locals were taken into confidence. He slammed the resurgence of US-led Nato drone attacks inside Pakistan’s tribal regions and claimed that locals have been killed in these missile strikes.

“There have been 12 drone attacks in the last 24 hours. The government should name the terrorists who they claim have been killed in these attacks.”

Slamming the Pakistan People’s Party led government, Khan said the ruling party came into power to fulfill “American agenda” and termed it an “NRO government.”

He said that majority of the drone attacks victims were innocent Pakistanis whose identities were not deliberately swept under the carpet.
” The international press and representatives of human rights organizations will accompany him and the Local tribesmen will provide his entourage with the needed security” he said.
Imran KhaTo a question, the PTI leader said that he will uncover the facts about the people who were killed or injured by drone attacks.
n also added that PTI was the only party who could go to Waziristan and work for peace.


PTI will lead a march to Waziristan and expects the government to provide adequate security to the people joining the march," said Abdul Qayyum Kundi, a member of PTI's Advisory Committee. As a popular political party, he said, the PTI had the right to organize public rallies to bring attention to important foreign and domestic issues. 

                                            

Hafiz Gul Bahadar and Maulvi Nazir Wazir, the leaders of the militant groups of North Waziristan and Wana area of South Waziristan, are likely to support the PTI, local sources said. Both groups are considered "good Taliban" by the Pakistani military, security analysts say, because they do not carry out attacks inside Pakistan and focus only on Afghanistan.

The real threat, security experts say, is Hakimullah Mehsud. His faction of the TTP has carried out attacks on security forces, government installations and political parties in the country. Besides sending out a warning to the PTI, the TTP, in its second email, also addressed the religious scholars who were not supporting their cause. "Although the letter contains nothing new as far as the Taliban's arguments against democracy are concerned, the timing of the warning is crucial, especially in the context of the upcoming elections," said Muhammad Amir Rana, director of Pak Institute of Peace Studies (PIPS), in an August 12 article. He said it indicated that the TTP wanted to pressure religious political parties to stay away from the electoral process.

Although some of Imran's critics call him 'Taliban Khan' because of his soft views on Taliban and Talibanization, his persistent opposition to drone attacks in FATA , his repeated calls for negotiation with Taliban groups, and his own bitter attacks on the country's liberals, sources in the TTP say the group will not allow the PTI to march to Waziristan."PTI considers the TTP an illegitimate organization because it does not respect the constitution of Pakistan, does not respect rule of law, and does not have the people's mandate,"


"For PTI, it is now a challenge to go ahead

with the rally, "It is nearly

impossible, because of the poor security

situation and the ongoing military

operation." It would be a huge task for the

army to provide security to the participants

of the rally, "Even President Asif

Zardari did not visit the area."

•  Year-wise Details of MQM’s Atrocities (Crimes of Muttahida Qaumi Movement: MQM)  

All this were based on newspapers dailies Jang, Jasarat, The News , The Muslim, Nawa-I-Waqt, Frontier Post , The Nation, Dawn , Jang, Pakistan Times and others. 1986 MQM’s first-ever public meeting at Karachi’s Nishtar park on August 8, 1986, was marked by heavy aerial firing from the; pistolsand rifles which the party activists were carrying on them. On that day, windowpanes of a traffic police kiosk opposite Quaid-e-Azam’s mausoleum were broken, and stones were pelted on petrol pump near Gurumandir. Addressing the rally, Altaf Hussain said: “Karachi is no more mini-Pakistan. We will accept help no matter where it comes from, from east or west, north or south” (dailies Jang, Jasarat and other newspapers of August 9, 1986). Two months later, on October 25, 1986, while addressing a press conference at Hyderabad Press Club, Altaf Hussain told the Mohajir youth to “collect arms. If our rights are not given to us, we will use every kind of force”. On October 31, while addressing a public meeting at Hyderabad’s Pakka Qila, he said: “At first we fought for freedom. Now that we have freedom, weare searching for a country” (daily Amn, Nov 1, 1986). Riots broke out in Karachi the same evening. Twelve persons were killed, 25 wagons, autorickshaws and motorbikes were set on fire, and four houses and eight shops were torched.

Dividing between them the affairs of urban and rural Sindh, Altaf Hussain ran the province of Sindh according to the menial whims and wildest fancies. This was also the year when for the first time dissent within the MQM grew open and strong. Afaq Ahmad and his friends were declared traitors and their sentence specified. The slogan “Quaid’s traitor deserves death” became the graffiti of every wall and the banner of every apartment house. MQM’s death squads were pulled back from the fronts against other races and turned against their own people. Altaf Hussain’s own nerves creaked under the threatof dissent, and he left Nine-Zero to take refuge in Abbasi Shaheed hospital on the ruse of a bad kidney. Security matters were taken back from the increasingly suspect party organization and placed in the care of more loyal APMSO. As the crisis grew, so did the need to enhance personal charisma. This waswhen the stories of miracles in Saudi Arabia got currency, and the “saint” leader’s images, complete with the mustaches and dark sunglasses, started appearing ontree leaves and mosque tiles. To convince the Punjabis of the spellbinding power of the Pir over his followers, a group of 37 MQM MNAs and MPAs was dispatched to Lahore Press Club to read before the journalists a written oath of allegiance. The test, which was not allowed to be circulated in Karachi, repeatedly referred to the “blind faith” of individual members in the leadership of Altaf Hussain. The press conference was held on July 25, a day after Lahore high court ordered the release of Afaq Ahmad and others. The press conference went on for two and a half hours, and all this while a telephone was available to Altaf Hussain in Abbasi Shaheed Hospital to hear the proceedings live (dailies Jang and Nawa-I-Waqt Lahaore, July 26, 1991). All the 37 members individually read their oaths before the newsmen. Dr Farooq Sattar said, “if I commit treachery against the Qauid, I will have denied my paternity”. Wasim Ahmad said, “if I go against the Qauid. I may not be of my mother” (daily Nawa-I-Waqt Lahroe, July 26, 1991). 14 When the newsmen objected that they could not sit through the statements, which were more or less alike, some MQM members retorted by saying, “once we get a foothold in Lahore, then you will sit and listen, like they do in Karachi”. This led to a number of journalists walking out of the press conference in protest. Late in the evening of July 27, Pir Pagara’s sin-in-law, Salim Malik, was assassinated while returning from Gadani. The poor man died because the assassins thought it was Afaq Ahmad and his friendsentering into Karachi from Balochistan. Two days later, the police for the murder arrested MQM terrorist, Iqbal Chand. 1991 was, therefore, the year in which it became clear that MQM would not change its character, no matter who ruled the country. It showed itself to be a pressure group, which used Mohajirs to blackmail governments for attaining individual objectives and eliminating opponents. Itlaunches bloody movements against governments, which wouldn’t pay it any attention, and keeps on tenterhooks those which are willing to get cozy. MQM’s bully also took Karachi’s press to task. Whenthe press started reporting even half-truths about MQM, the gunmen went into action. Known journalist Maulana Salahuddin’s house was set on fire long before he was finally assassinated. 

Daily Dawn, eveninger “Star” and monthly “Herald” were prevented from distribution. Copies of dailies” Jang” and “The News” were burnt in thousands, and MQM chairman, Azim Tariq, openly threatened journalists when he said in a public meeting that they should “keep their Ka’aba in the right direction”

 Zafar Abbas, Kamran Khan, Nafisa Hoodbhai and other journalists were attacked. During this year, when MQM was in power and had itsministers both in Islamabad and In Sindh, 27 police officers that refused to sidestep the law were murdered.

On March 3, MQM MPA Arif Siddiqui tried to attack MQM’s estranged member, Shamim Ahmad, inside the assembly building. Local bodies’ minister, Nadir Magsi, prevented the attack by coming in the way. The scheming MQM’s members later tactfully drew his armed guards into an ugly conflict. Although Nadir Magsi tried his utmost to avoid scandalous fallout, defending an overtly offensive Arif Siddiqui against his own guards, MQMhad succeeded in creating an issue (The Frontier Post Lahore, March 4, 1994). MQM activists burnt three vehicles in protest over this incident, and killed two persons in Liaquatabad where an Eid bazaar was in progress. Four persons were wounded in that attack. Life was disrupted in Karachi. Three days later, an MQM death squad, headed by Kamran Jaffery, put fiveRangers and police officials, including a captain of Pakistan Army, against the wall in Baldia town and pumped hundreds of bullets into them. The grouplater shamelessly denied any involvement in this incident. In order to boostits strength, MQM called a strike on March 27 in which tree persons were killed and 17 vehicles burnt. On April 13, on a telephonic address to audience inAzizabad’s Khurshid Begum Complex, Altaf Hussain said, “If Sindh is divided, we won’t be responsible for it”. He further said: “Friends. Listen to me carefully. Those of you who were given receipts for contributions should deposit thesums with sector incharge. If the sector people are listening let them send it tome in London. Some sectors haven’t sent me their zakat and fitra deposits. If you don’t send it, you won’t get 21 new receipts. Understand? For God’s sake expedite the transfer of money, these contributions are the secret of our success. And listen, help the circulation of daily “Amn”. Read every word of the statements published in this newspaper. And one more thing, our comrades are in jails. Sendcontributions for them too. I want to help them. On April 26, MQM launched is campaign to offer voluntary arrests, but it fizzled out in three days. On April 29, two persons were killed during a clash between the police and MQM activists. Many policemen were wounded in the clash. During yet another telephonic address, the Pir who cast his spell from across seven seas was saying, “carry your excesses to the limit. But Mohajirs will not break. Sindh will break”. Up to May 4, six people died in rioting in Gulbahar,

ANTI MEDIA ACTIVITIES OF MQM Altaf and his MQM were asked by the government to renounce its policy of press censorship, and publicly declare that it will not use threats and direct or indirect pressure to influence the print media. Altaf’s MQM is perhaps the first “political “ partyin the world which clamped an across the board censorship on newspapers and kept breathing down the editor neck for more than four years. Hitler had said, “Newspapers should not be allowed to ride popular will”. Altaf and MQM followed this dictum to a tee. The code of censorship, which MQM designed under the able guidance of Altaf Hussain for the newspapers of Karachi, was impeccably complete.

In Karachi June 24-26. At least 67 people died in strike-related violence during the protest. Medical reports on the alleged victim

A big lie of General Naseer Akhter and Brig Imtiaz regarding map of Jinnahpur, as they also had no knowledge! In 1989, as a Captain I was posted to B Company 50 Wing Bhittai Rangers district center Karachi in aidof civil administration. At that time MQM terrorist activities were on the top. I was local area force commander located in KDA office Liaqutabad and was responsible for almost entire district centre, where MQM leader was living(90) and had headquarter (89) in Al-kerm squire adjacent to my company location. I was the most active and well known officer at that time, because of my actions against all sorts of criminals. I had so much knowledge of the area, upon which general officer commanding major General Saleem Malik was assisted by me for the recce of the area. None of the IB person came forward or had theknowledge of the area, as they did not dare to enter the area being controlled by MQM. Whereas IB personal have been making their reports after getting the information from us, while sitting their offices. MQM never spared any intelligence agencies personal, if ever entered to their area, thus they had very little knowledge about offices and torture cells of MQM on ground and a very little knowledge about MQM activities. Thus how it was possible for Brig Imtiaz to investigate the map of Jinnahpur? How he confirm that it was not the actual? What were his resources, where as I was never contacted, since I recovered this map along with many other documents from Al-kerm squire. I did not have any enmity with MQM or with any other political parties or criminals, but was doing best by performing my duties. I never saw that General Naseer Akhter or Brig Imtiaz ever visited our area.During this operation clean up our 50 Wing Bhittai ranger was placed under command of Brig Usmani, who later became corps commander the same corps, which was commanded by Lt Gen Naseer Akhter. Lt Gen (rtd) Muzaffar Hussain Usmani knows all about our raid to al-kerm squire (89) and Azizabad (90). He also knows about all the torture cells we found and were shown on PTV. We recovered lot of arms and ammunition from different offices of MQM. I also served as General Staff Officer-II (IS) with General Saleem Hayder, who became GOC after General Saleem Malik. He also has been appreciating my knowledge and experience. On 28 May I arrested APMSO leader Shahood Hashmi from Karachi Poly Technical College, on which MQM boycotted Nation assembly budget session in 81 protest. FIR was launched against him in SITE police station. But I was forced to leave this criminal. My action was appreciated by General Officer Commanding Saleem Malik. Yes, that was the time once Major Naeem from IB contacted me and passed me a threat of General Naseer Akhter andPresident Ghulam Ishaq Khan, that if I will not leave Shahood Hashmi then I could be in civil cloth next day. Is it justice that a criminal, who was responsible for killing many innocents, especially students of JI in the same college from where he was arrested? Is it justice that a criminal, who scuffled with me and torn my military uniform, which belongs to the people of Pakistan? In May I received credible reports about Karachi Sarafa Market, that there is lot of smuggling gold and Indian currency and then a plan was made, which later was discussed with Lt gen (rtd) Naseer Akhter by mycommanding officer Lt Col Farooq Sultan and I was also sitting in that meeting. Lt Gen (rtd) Naseer Akhter permitted us and finally whole 50 Wing Bhittai Rangers along with police and magistrate executed a successful raid and seized a huge amount of Indian currency and Gold. Immediately after that the Sarafa union went on strike, where as the currency and the gold was deposited with custom after registration of the case under custom acts against Haji Ilyas. We were offered a bribe for not registering the case, but we refused. On the other hand these union people met Gen Naseer Akhter, who ordered us to hand over all seized items and release Haji Ilyas. Lt Gen (rtd) Naseer ordered an enquiry against the whole raiding party, including the magistrate also. I was the only officer among the whole raiding party who made a statement against Gen Naseer Akhter. At later many time I was asked to change the statement, but I didnot. This enquiry can be found from the official documents. I got the information that Sarafa Union gifted him one land cruiser and to this effect I made the same statement at that time. Now the question comes that if my statement could have been wrong then why he did not ordered for my court martial.
