Pakistan rejects report about Osama’s presence RIYADH: A Saudi militant on an Interpol wanted list turned himself in to security authorities after asking to be repatriated from Pakistan, the interior ministry said on Tuesday.

Bader Mohammed Nasser Al-Shehri, one of the 85 men on a Saudi list of alleged militants sent to Interpol in 2009, contacted the authorities from Pakistan via his family, asking to return home, the ministry said in a statement quoted by the official SPA news agency.

The ministry statement did not say what Shehri, 32, was doing in Pakistan.

Ministry spokesman Gen Mansour Al-Turki said he was suspected of working with Al Qaeda. “He contacted his family asking for help to return,” he said. “We will find out now where he was and what he was doing.”

Shehri’s return reduced the number of outstanding wanted men on the list to 71, according to Gen Turki. Six have turned themselves in, six have been killed, and two were arrested.

It was the second announcement in a week of one of the wanted men giving themselves up. On Friday the interior ministry said Jaber Jabran Al-Faifi, a former Guantanamo detainee who rejoined Al Qaeda after graduating from rehabilitation programme, turned himself in through Yemen’s authorities.—AFP

E-Paper (Discussion) Empty SC judgment on 18th Amendment tomorrow By Nasir Iqbal

Post by malikfurqan Wed Oct 20, 2010 8:34 am

POINT OF VIEW
A soap opera on repeat ISLAMABAD, Oct 19: The Supreme Court will announce its judgment on the cons- titutionality of the 18th Amendment on Thursday.

A 17-judge full court had on Sept 30 reserved its verdict after over four months of hearing on petitions challenging various aspects of the 18th Amendment, including the mechanism approved by parliament for appointment of superior court judges.

The bench started hearing the petitions on May 24 and discussed threadbare all aspects of the amendment, especially Article 175-A relating to appointment of superior court judges which, according to the petitioners, impinges on the independence of judiciary.

The petitions also challenged the renaming of the NWFP as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa which, it was argued, would result in dividing the national polity on linguistic and ethnic lines, deletion of Article 17(4) relating to elections in political parties and insertion of Article 63-A empowering heads of parties to have a final say in case of defections.

The decision to announce the verdict has been taken after a number of conclaves held by the judges on the bench to exchange points of view on the proceedings which were closed last month.

E-Paper (Discussion) Empty Commission to review criminal case verdicts since ’47 By Our Staff Reporter

Post by malikfurqan Wed Oct 20, 2010 8:36 am

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani is set to announce the establishment of a commission which will review criminal cases and determine possible “miscarriage of justice” in cases including that of former prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who was hanged in 1979, Dawn has learnt.

Mr Gilani approved the proposal after a presentation was given to him by his Adviser, Nawabzada Ghazanfar Gul, in the Prime Minister Secretariat (PMS) recently.

Mr Gul is said to be the brain behind the concept. He has been working on the issue, especially after studying the British-based Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), which is said to be the inspiration for the proposal the PPP has finalised.

However, it is yet to be decided when the proposed commission, which will comprise three judges, will be formed and when it will start functioning.

Once formed, people will have the right to file review appeals with the commission on cases decided by courts since 1947.

If the commission finds an appeal to have a merit, it can refer it to the relevant court for a hearing.

However, it is feared that the proposed CCRC may be opposed by the higher judiciary whose verdicts would be reviewed by the commission. The appointment of judges can also be questioned.

Although the objective of the PPP government is to review and refer appropriate cases to appeal courts to limit the miscarriage of justice, the review of ZAB’s case is said to be a major motivating factor behind the idea.

“The PPP believes that the punishment awarded to Mr Bhutto was based on injustice and being a national hero he must be exonerated,” said a senior government official.

Sources said that the Prime Minister’s Secretariat and the Law Ministry were jointly working on the issue, exploring ways to implement the system.

After giving the final shape to the concept of the CCRC, it will be presented to President Asif Ali Zardari for approval. This is expected to happen soon.

In the UK, the commission is based in Birmingham and has about 100 staff.

E-Paper (Discussion) Empty NGOs complain to Gilani about poor relief work By Khawar Ghumman

Post by malikfurqan Wed Oct 20, 2010 8:40 am

Pakistan
Prime Minister Gilani’s firm but polite no POOR IMPLEMENTATION
US aid projects fail to achieve goals: report ISLAMABAD: Representatives of leading national non-governmental organisations (NGOs) complained to Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on Monday about lack of coordination and adequate monitoring of relief and rehabilitation work in flood-affected areas.

At an interactive dinner with the prime minister, they called for immediate revival of the local government system and said the worst-hit rural areas were being neglected in the relief and rehabilitation work.

They called for land reforms and more tax on the rich, terming it the only way to help the affected people.

Samina Khan of the Sungi organisation said it was impossible to undertake rehabilitation work at the district and tehsil levels in the absence of local governments and, therefore, the government should take immediate steps to hold their elections.

The prime minister said that 2011 would be the year of local bodies’ elections.

Naeem Mirza of Aurat Foundation said women and children were the most vulnerable among the affected people who needed special attention of the government. He complained of a lack of coordination in relief work.

Sarwar Bari of the Pattan development organisation said that governance was deteriorating and the suffering of affected people would not end without an improvement.

Referring to the poor performance of the Earthquake Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Authority, he said: “I doubt things will be much different this time, because on the ground I could see a sheer manifestation of partisanship by political parties.”

Minister of State for Finance Hina Rabbani Khar rejected the remark about partisanship.

Mr Bari called for taxing the rich more aggressively and for across-the-board land reforms. Over the years, poverty has deepened and an equal distribution of land is the only sustainable way to help the people.

Another NGO representative urged the government to also focus on ecological rehabilitation of the affected areas. He said riverbeds had been massively encroached upon and it should be ensured that no housing, legal or illegal, was built on such places.

In reply to a question, the prime minister said the government was taking austerity measures and around 10 ministries and divisions would be wound up in a few months under the 18th Amendment.

“The government has already given an action plan whereby it will provide Rs100,000 to every affected family for the building of their homes, besides an immediate release of Rs20,000 through Watan cards.”

Those who said the government did not have any plan actually didn’t want to help Pakistan, the prime minister said.

Federal Finance Minister Abdul Hafeez Shaikh said it was not easy to increase tax collection. “When the government talks about tax on big land holdings, my colleagues sitting in parliament oppose it, brokers are against tax on capital gains and people are not willing to pay taxes on their costly houses.”

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan prime minister Yusuf Raza Gilani on Sunday said Kashmir issue is part of the national agenda of the country which "can never forget it."

Gilani also claimed that the world community has strated recognising Kashmir as a disputed territory due to the efforts by his government.

"Kashmir is part of our national agenda and we can never forget it. The Kashmiri people live in our hearts. We inherited this love from our late leader (President Zulfiqar Ali) Bhutto," Gilani said in an address to the nation that focussed largely on domestic political issues.

"Today, the world community has for the first time begun recognising Kashmir as a disputed territory due to our efforts. It is a big success for us that the European parliament has agreed to a tripartite dialogue on the Kashmir issue. Kashmir was represented in this by the Prime Minister of Azad Jammu and Kashmir," he said.

The European parliament accepted Pakistan's view that the UN and the Organisation of the Islamic Conference should be made part of efforts to find a solution to the Kashmir issue, he said.

The "prime minister" of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, Sardar Attique Ahmed Khan, recently participated in a series of meetings on the Kashmir issue in Brussels. Reports suggested that some European parliamentarians had accepted Khan's proposal that the European Union should coordinate efforts to find a solution to the Kashmir issue

NEW DELHI: The chief organiser of the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi vigorously defended himself on Sunday against allegations of corruption surrounding the troubled event and lashed out at his critics.
Suresh Kalmadi, chairman of the Delhi 2010 organising committee, fought back as a government probe began into construction costs, payments to contractors, equipment leases and other alleged financial irregularities.
In an angry statement to the press, he accused Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit of stealing credit for sorting out major problems that threatened the Games and her own departments of being corrupt.
Kalmadi took the brunt of international criticism during the run-up to the Games, which were afterwards hailed as a success despite chaotic preparations, a last-minute dash to finish facilities and a ballooning budget.
He said Dikshit’s comments on Saturday that there were suspicions of corruption involving the organising committee were “most disappointing and uncalled for”.
“It is not right to deflect and point fingers at others when she must indulge in self-reflection on corruption in her own departments,” he said.
Kalmadi, a political veteran from the same ruling Congress party as Dikshit, was booed at the opening and closing ceremonies after becoming the public face of the Games’ difficulties.
The event was hit by uncompleted athletes’ accommodation, shabbily constructed venues and a series of organisational glitches ranging from poor ticket sales to delayed sports results.
Kalamadi said he kept his silence during the Games because national pride was at stake but now, he said, “I owe it to the organising committee that we speak out. We don’t want to be the scapegoats any more.”
“Dikshit’s attempt to take credit for getting the Games Village ready in time does not fit with the team concept,” he said after an army of workers was drafted in to sort out complaints of uninhabitable, dirty apartments.
Kalmadi stressed that the final verdict on the Games had been positive from athletes, the international media and the Commonwealth Games Federation.
“I am proud that the world has declared that conduct of the Games was faultless, with all competitions being held as per schedule,” he said.
Kalmadi said Delhi authorities were responsible for building the venues but the organising committee had absorbed much of the blame and had kept the Games on track as national teams considered pulling out over health and safety fears.
In one of the worst incidents, a large new bridge fell down and injured scores of labourers.
“When the foot over-bridge near the (main) stadium collapsed, it led to doubts about the safety of the people. Reports of delays in getting the city ready also caused many teams to believe that Games could not be held,” Kalmadi said.
“We had to do a lot of hand-holding and cajoling to ensure that the full complement of 71 nations and territories took part.
“Despite a series of attacks in the run-up to the Games, I was quiet as I wanted the Games to succeed. Keeping quiet should not be interpreted as a sign of weakness. Nor should patience be seen as a sign of guilt,” he added.
The Mail Today printed details on Sunday of tenders that were far above the estimated cost of renovating stadiums for the Games.

Three soldiers killed in South Waziristan: official UNENDING THREAT
119 high-profile militants at large PESHAWAR: At least 12 militants were killed in a clash with Pakistani troops in a restive tribal district Tuesday, officials said.



The fighting broke out during a search operation in Orakzai, one of seven lawless districts in Pakistan’s semi-autonomous tribal belt, where troops have been battling the Taliban since March, security officials said.



A paramilitary spokesman told AFP that about 50 militants attacked troops during search and clearance operation in the district’s Dabori area.



“At least 12 militants were killed and eight terrorist hideouts were also destroyed. There was no loss of security forces,” the spokesman said.



He said helicopter gunships were also called in during the firefight.



Pakistani forces launched the Orakzai offensive on March 24 in a bid to flush out Taliban who escaped last year’s major assault on South Waziristan, where the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) leadership had its headquarters.



The TTP, blamed for a bombing campaign that has killed 3,300 people across Pakistan over the past three years, grabbed the global spotlight after the United States blamed it for the failed May 1 car bomb plot in New York.



Washington says Pakistan’s tribal belt, which lies beyond Islamabad’s direct control, is a stronghold for Al-Qaeda and militants plotting attacks on US-led troops fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan.

He said the cause of Pakistan’s worst ever floods, which affected 1/5 of its total area and over 20 million population apart from serious damage to infrastructure and economy, was attributed to global warming and changing weather pattern due to climate change adding the devastating flood might come every year due to global warming.

Environment Minister said the purpose of this conference was to gather a galaxy of experts on the subject from around the world to ponder on the science and policy in managing risks and impacts of climate change.

He added the main focus of conference would be the means, which could ensure access to technology and adequate finances for sustainable development in Pakistan and other developing countries.

He said the event would take stock of the unfolding effects of climate change in South Asia particularly Pakistan. It would cover various levels of topics including regional, transitional, national, sub-national and local with clusters on specialized topics related to sustainable
