EDUCATION EMERGENCY | KPK govt banned the MALALA book

آخری وقت اشاعت:  منگل 28 جنوری 2014 ,‭ 05:00 GMT 10:00 PST
پاکستان کے صوبے خیبر پختونخوا کی سول سوسائٹی کی تنظیموں نے کہا ہے کہ تحریک انصاف حکومت کی مداخلت پر پشاور یونیورسٹی میں ملالہ یوسف زئی کی کتاب کی تقریبِ رونمائی روک دی گئی ہے۔
باچا خان ایجوکیشن ٹرسٹ کے سربراہ ڈاکٹر خادم حسین نے بی بی سی سے بات کرتے ہوئے الزام لگایا کہ منگل کو ایریا سٹڈی سنٹر پشاور یونیورسٹی میں ملالہ یوسف زئی کی کتاب ’آئی ایم ملالہ’ کی تقریب رونمائی منعقد ہونا تھی تاہم صوبائی حکومت کی براہ راست مداخلت پر یہ تقریب روک دی گئی ہے۔ انہوں نے کہا کہ مذکورہ تقریب باچا خان ایجوکیشن ٹرسٹ، ایریا سٹڈی سنٹر اور سول سوسائٹی کی تنظیم ایس پی او کی طرف سے مشترکہ طور پر منعقد کی جانی تھی۔
انہوں نے کہا کہ پولیس کی طرف سے ان کو بتایا گیا کہ وہ سکیورٹی فراہم نہیں کر سکتے جس کی وجہ سے تقریب کا انعقاد روک دیا گیا ہے۔
ڈاکٹر خادم حسین نے مزید الزام لگایا کہ صوبائی حکومت کے دو وزراء کی طرف سے یونیورسٹی انتظامیہ پر براہ راست دباؤ ڈالا گیا کہ وہ تقریب کی اجازت نہ دے اور اس سلسلے میں بعض اہم سرکاری اہلکاروں کی جانب سے ایریا سٹڈی سنٹر کے سنئیر پروفیسرز کو ٹیلی فون بھی کیےگئے۔
انہوں نے کہا کہ تقریب میں شرکت کرنے کے لیے تمام سیاسی جماعتوں کے نمائندوں، سسنئیر پروفیسروں اور سول سوسائٹی کی تنظمیوں کو دعوت دی گئی تھی۔
ادھر پشاور پولیس کے سربراہ اعجاز خان نے رابطہ کرنے پر بی بی سی کو اس بات کی تصدیق کی کہ بعض سکیورٹی خدشات کے باعث کتاب کی تقریب رنمائی روک دی گئی ہے۔
انہوں نے کہا کہ تقریب کے منتظمین کی طرف سے پولیس کو پہلے سے کوئی اطلاع نہیں دی گئی تھی جبکہ یونیورسٹی انتظامیہ کی جانب سے بھی تقریب کے انعقاد پر بعض اعتراض کیے گئے تھے جس کے باعث تقریب کی اجازت نہیں دی گئی۔
"بعض سکیورٹی خدشات کے باعث کتاب کی تقریب رنمائی روک دی گئی ہے۔"
پشاور پولیس کے سربراہ اعجاز خان
اس سلسلے میں صوبائی حکومت کا موقف معلوم کرنے کے لیے وزیر اطلاعات شاہ فرمان سے بار بار رابطے کی کوشش کی گئی لیکن حسب معمول انہوں نے ٹیلی فون اٹھانا گوارہ نہیں کیا۔
خیال رہے کہ ملالہ یوسف زئی کی کتاب ’آئی ایم ملالہ’ گذشتہ سال اکتوبر میں امریکہ اور برطانیہ کے ممالک میں شائع کی گئی تھی۔ یہ کتاب ملالہ یوسف زئی اور برطانوی صحافی کرسٹینا لیمب نے مشترکہ طور پر لکھی ہے۔
یہ بات بھی قابل ذکر ہے کہ پنجاب کے نجی سکولوں کی ایک تنظیم آل پاکستان پرائیویٹ سکولز فیڈریشن کی طرف سے ملالہ یوسف زئی کی کتاب آئی ایم ملالہ پر پابندی عائد کر دی گئی تھی۔ اس کے علاوہ تحریک طالبان پاکستان کی جانب سے بھی کتاب فروخت کرنے والے دوکانداروں کو دھمکیاں دی گئی تھیں۔

Open letter to Imran Khan

Open letter to Imran Khan



Trust you are well.
This is in answer to our exchange of SMS messages between Jan 11th and 12th, 2014, repeated verbatim:
Quote: Me to you: 11th Jan, 2014, 5:22 PM: ‘So, no reaction ON Aitzaz Hasans death Imran? How SHAMEFUL!!!’
You to me: 12th Jan, 2014, 9:36 AM: ‘U really have a v poor opinion of me….without ever bothering to hear my side. Was in india for a conf and got back late last nite. Have already announced a fund on my behalf for aitzazs family plus heavily criticized the kpk govt for their pathetic approach in not honoring the hero (no party head has ever openly criticized his own govt in the media).’
Me to you: 12th Jan, 2014, 9:47 AM: ‘So the K-PK govt. can’t move a finger w/out you/Mazari/Jehangir? Sad state of affairs I must say. Unless there is a compact with the Takfiri murderers to do as they will so long as they don’t bother Khattak And Co.?’
You to me: 12th Jan, 2014, 9:58 AM: ‘Grow up kamran. Stop being so pompous. Have never known a “liberal” so bloodthirsty as u hasn’t 9yrs of killing satisfied your blood lust? Hasn’t each operation spawned more groups? Since when have those who want peace become pro taliban and those who want our army to “do more” be called “liberal’. U are what ali shariati described as “westoxified”, a mentally colonized brown sahib without a shred of original thinking’: Unquote.
Right then, Imran: 1) Aitzaz died on January 6th, a full week before you ‘heavily criticised’ your govt. in K-PK upon arrival from India for not taking any cognizance of the brave boy’s sacrifice. So, what was the govt. in Peshawar doing before you ‘heavily criticized’ it, that it could not even verbally salute him and his act of bravery and condemn the perpetrators of the would-be suicide bombing? The cat got its tongue?
Or, was it too terrified to do so because it was afraid to be seen even hinting at criticism of the militants, which is the grand-mother of all the mad-men running about committing murder and mayhem, because you yourself have never by name condemned the murderous monsters and their dastardly deeds? By the way, why could you/your staff not have ‘heavily criticized’ it from India via ‘phone/email?
2) Upon my asking if the K-PK govt. can’t move a finger without approval from the triumvirate: yourself; Jehangir and Mazari; or if there was a tacit understanding between your govt. and the milit ants you really saw red and flailed about with your ‘balla’!
You said you hadn’t known a “liberal” so bloodthirsty as me, and asked if 9 years of killing hadn’t satisfied my blood lust? 9 Years Imran? How many times must I tell you and your minions that Swat and Dir and Malakand began to be taken over in 1994 for God’s sake?
I thirst for the blood of my own, Imran? Lots of us Pakistanis know, and respect, and love the brave people of K-PK and Fata, the real ‘stake-holders’. We have lived among them, and have served with them as comrades and buddies in the Services. You make the ‘tribals’ out as some mysterious people that only you know. How utterly arrogant and ignorant of you. The real ‘stake-holders’ are dead my friend; done in by these Takfiris who have systematically killed off the respected members of every single Jirga of note. Now your ‘stake-holders’ are Chechens and Uzbeks and Arabs and Uighur Chinese and Somalis and other criminals. You are welcome to them, they are not mine!
You say, ‘ Hasn’t each operation spawned more groups’? Yes, every operation against these car hijackers and kidnappers and murderers for hire has spawned more of the same because the first operation was not carried out effectively. Get the point?
You call me “westoxified” and a “mentally colonized ‘brown sahib’”. Now where did I hear this term before: Ah yes: you writing hypocritically in The Nation, many moons ago, having just got out of your morning suits and frequenting Annabel’s every night, as a means of ‘Pakistanising’ yourself for your political career. I am a Brown Sahib? Did I go trotting off to London to ‘Save the Elephant’ in a black-tie event the moment your doctors allowed you out of bed after you fell off that damned fork-lift?
Let’s rewind a little: why is it that you saw red after reading my sms about whether there was a ‘compact’ with the Takfiris to spare Khattak And Co.,? I had said nothing about ‘fighting’ you-know-who, so why the fury? Remember, however, that the mood of the country is changing after the deaths of Aitzaz Hasan and Chaudhry Aslam. Note the grand gesture of the Pakistan Army in not only sending a Brigade Commander to lay a wreath but also an honour guard to the young Pakhtun Shaheed’s grave. The Army seems sick and tired of burying too many of its young warriors without hitting back.
I think it is high time that you woke up and smelt the cordite; and heard the blood gush from the torsos of our brave soldiers and khassadars and police and levies as they are decapitated by the m-onsters. I wonder if your handlers expose you to the blood and gore that is there for all to see on our screens: like the Takfiris playing football with the heads of our soldiers?
Which reminds me: wait until the Americans leave and then see what happens: ‘Traitors’ like me have been saying it for years; our Ambassador in Washington has said it just a few days ago: If all of the Americans left Afghanistan, all of the murderer’s guns would be turned against us.
Must add that I am gratified that the PM has also named you as one of the negotiators with the TTP: Good Luck.

Why the PTI could not do what the AAP has

I understand I might be stepping over many toes. It indeed looks like comparing apples with oranges given the vast differences between the two societies, their political history and the nature of their polities. But, I insist it is worth a thought as at some levels we have a lot in common and I am not just referring to the pre-Partition history or our common linguistic and cultural roots, etc. It’s about our current politics.
My defense against this blasphemous act, of comparing the politics of the two parties, is based on two points. Dare I elaborate?
The cause célèbre for both the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf in Pakistan and the Aam Aadmi Party in India has been corruption in government and politics. Corrupt politicians win elections and form governments that protect and promote corruption. They both identify ‘cleaning of the filth’ as the way forward – the way that will certainly make life easier for middle classes and might also benefit the lower, resource-less classes. That’s one.
The other commonality is that they both find the voter stuck between ‘non-choices’. People may vote to victory party A or party B but governance approaches, economic policies and a lot more remains the same. Elections thus have become sterile and there is weariness with even ‘politics’. So both the parties presented themselves as a third option promising change and wanting to convert this weariness into a new political currency.
The PTI remained unsuccessful in the 1997 and 2002 elections, boycotted in 2008 and fell way short of its own expectations in 2013, despite huge media hype. The AAP surprised everyone with a big win in its very first election and is giving restless days and sleepless nights to other established parties as the national elections, due in April-May, are approaching fast. Some say that success for the AAP has come a bit too early and that it will have impact on its development. But what the AAP might turn into in the years to come is a separate subject.
So, are the voters in India more responsive to change than the ones in Pakistan? Some will jump to say yes. But I find it opportune to first have a look at the political approach of the two parties and their strategies for electoral success. I also earnestly believe that it has a few lessons for everyone wanting to see a political change in the real sense. Here is what the PTI lacked and faltered upon, compared with the AAP.
The PTI promised the moon | The AAP is realistic about its capacity to deliver
Have a look at the Aam Aadmi Party’s manifesto for the 2013 Delhi Elections. It reads like an NGO’s planned outputs, complete with Objectively Verifiable Indicators and Means of Verification. These are succinct, elaborate and completely practical. Consider for example, one agenda item – water, it promised households using up to 700 litres (per day) of free water; transparency in the functioning of the Delhi Water Board and in the long run city-wide rainwater harvesting. On the corruption front, a new law covering all public officers; time-bound investigation and swift disposal of corruption cases; cases against Ministers, MLAs and Secretaries to be completed within six months to a year.

If your approach is so down-to-earth, you are bound to win the confidence of voters. Being realistic may sound far less sexy for the media than boasting of tsunamis; and mantras of 90-day turnarounds can be anything but when it comes to delivering, it really raises your political stature. On the other hand, if you promise the moon to start with and then it turns out to be a hoax, you are bound to get a beating.
The PTI somehow could not realise that campaign promises are not made just to arouse your supporters and incite media frenzy; they are actually meant to be fulfilled, if and when you win. Its promises have been unrealistic and its proposed solutions were not at all different from what is already being done or what others were promising too.
Consider for example the PTI’s manifesto item about energy (a part of its Economic Policy). It promised that it would enforce an Energy Emergency to make Pakistan Energy Secure, and the number one thing they wanted to do was ‘Resolve circular debt by moving to lower cost of production’. How can you lower the cost of production of energy (being mostly produced by private companies) when you can’t do anything about world oil prices? The PTI’s manifesto read more like rally slogans than well-thought out and practical measures that could be adopted to better the situation.
The PTI is desperate for power | The AAP stands for principles
The AAP has launched itself from Delhi, which has a lesser status than that of even a state/province. ‘Full statehood for Delhi’ is actually a part of its manifesto. Their strategy is to start small, increase their base and expand. The PTI, in contrast wanted nothing short of full and absolute power.
In its first elections in 1997, a year after its formation, it fielded candidates on 134 seats out of the 207-seat National Assembly (Results: no seat; 314,820, 1.65 per cent votes). That was just behind the PPP’s 160 and the PML-N’s 176 candidates. In 2002, the PTI contested on 94 seats winning one seat and a total of 242,472 votes.
Its leader lost heart and realised that his ‘fan club’ was not going to get him to the position he aimed for – the top. So, in its elections in 2013, he changed the strategy and swelled the party ranks with ‘the electables’. This was completely contradictory to his stance of cleaning politics by removing all corruption. The same electables now occupy central positions and pose, with broad smiles, in the big family group photo.
f the AAP allows in known BJP or Congress faces, it will definitely not remain how it is and there are no signs as yet that it might adopt such a suicidal path. The party says: “Our aim of entering politics is not to come to power; we have entered politics to change the current corrupt and self-serving system of politics forever. So that no matter who comes to power in the future, the system is strong enough to withstand corruption at any level of governance”.
The PTI prioritises foreign policy issues | The AAP is focused on what hurts the common man
In 2013, the PTI fielded more candidates than the PML-N and the PPP (PTI: 232, PPP: 229, PML-N: 217 on a total of 272 seats). It fell short of even occupying the position of the main opposition party but was still able to win enough seats in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to form the provincial government there. The AAP has won just 28 seats in the 70-member Delhi Legislative Assembly and since taking oath it has been coming up with one new step every day to fulfill the promises it had made. They are yet to accomplish a lot but there is no doubt that they haven’t lost focus.
The PTI’s main interest, however, is in the country’s foreign policy and the global politics (especially the conspiratorial one) and that certainly comes at the cost of focusing on improving governance in its province of victory.
No doubt that the PTI has every right to have views on foreign policy and propagate and advocate accordingly, but I am being critical only from the point of view of strategising a party’s growth.
One of the AAP’s main leaders recently said that the party intended to hold a referendum in Kashmir. But then the party immediately backtracked by issuing another statement to the contrary. It is not possible that the AAP does not have a view on Kashmir, militancy, Indo-Pak relations, Maoists insurgency, etc. and it is also very likely that their views will be very different from those of the main status-quo parties. However, and quite intelligently they don’t want to get embroiled in high-risk, low-yield matters as that will not only have little positive bearing on their mass mobilisation campaign but is more likely to detract media attention from their agenda. They intend to keep a sharp focus on what hurts the proverbial aam aadmi the most – water, electricity and so on and leave the rest to be dealt with when the time is ripe.
The PTI chose an opposite path. It wanted to start by undoing all the satanic conspiracies being hatched by global powers against the innocent Muslims of Pakistan, and leave their welfare for a time when it was done battling the global evil. Does it really matter to a brick kiln worker of Punjab or a bonded farm labourer of Sindh whether or not we see eye to eye with the US? Don’t forget that a whopping 40 per cent in the country lives below the poverty line and a similar percentage hovers just above it. The PTI chose not to go through the painful process of winning them over and instead opted to herd them in through its electables.
One of the reasons for the PTI’s focus on foreign policy issues might be that it identifies the 20 per cent of well-off urbanites, watching TV as its main base. It is easier to talk international, as you don’t need to prove anything by just saying something that is enough to trigger a chain reaction in the media. Then, you are also not burdened by the responsibility of doing something concrete, except farcical protest campaigns, which again are quite media savvy and a bonus being that you can explain away your failures by forwarding yet another conspiracy theory. The downside of this ridiculous cycle is that at the end, your words fail to raise hope.
The PTI is a personality cult | The AAP is a party
The AAP is extremely critical of mainstream parties and accuses them of corruption but its own organisational character is marked by humility. They are not only against the VIP culture; the party leaders have themselves set many examples. For them, austerity really begins at home. They are transparent and have instituted a system of accountability within the party.
The PTI is critical too, but its tone and tenor is marked by arrogance. The PTI enthusiasts do not reserve their hatred for other leaders alone but are ready to direct it at even the common voters who refuse to support their party. You clearly can’t expect this from the AAP.
More importantly, they have a well-laid out party structure and membership plans. And given their emphasis on developing systems, they are likely to stay the course as they expand and gain power.
In contrast, the PTI revolves around the person of its leader – Imran Khan. It is not a party with an agenda, simply one with a celebrity. One of the main demands of the PTI’s election candidates from their own party during the election campaign has been that Khan must visit their constituency. We know one of its stalwart had even quit the party when the leader failed or refused to oblige. The party thinks that Khan’s celebrity status is its biggest political asset.
In other words, all that the PTI stands for is invested in the person of its leader, Imran Khan. Let me put it in another way. Imagine for a moment, that Imran Khan quits PTI for any reason, will the party stay the course or will there even be a party? Or are we are most likely to be left with a second grade version of PML-Q?
Now, if Arvind Kejriwal quits, will it be curtains for the Aam Aadmi Party? Such an eventuality will certainly be challenging for the AAP too but given its sharp emphasis on its agenda rather than its leader, it is likely to stay the course.
Clearly, with the PTI, the charisma of an individual leads the politics and in the AAP’s case, it’s the politics of the party giving birth to a charisma.

Chairman NADRA in meeting with CHINESE Steve jobs

You’re a coward, Khan

You’re a coward, Khan


Imran Khan you’re a coward. There’s no polite – or better – way of putting this. You’re a coward, Khan, and an absolute disgrace. For someone who talks so vociferously about valour, you have the spine of an eel. Regularly juxtaposing lions and wolves, you’d make a wolf look like a gladiator. The bravest thing you’ve done in your life is put an extra man in the slip cordon.
However, what one can’t deny is your honesty. You have this uncanny knack of accurate self-portrayal. Your political movement is every bit as life-threatening as a tsunami. And you’re every bit as big a plunderer as Mahmud Ghaznavi; the only difference being that you’re robbing the masses of something you gave them yourself: hope.
People, who had never bothered much about politics, collectively made you the chief of the second biggest party in Pakistan. People, who this time last year didn’t know what the acronyms ANP or MQM stood for, would now take to the street protesting against the “mercenaries” and the “murderers”. People, who have no idea how international relations work, are now echoing your pitiful counterterrorism strategy and jingoistic foreign policy as the holy gospel.
If you told them dinosaurs orbit around the earth they’d believe you. They have this unwavering, unflinching faith in everything single word that comes out your mouth. You ask them to destroy walls and they’re ready with their spades. You ask them to block routes and they’re ready to jump in front of trucks. You have the influence of a propagandist, priest and pied piper all rolled into one. And despite all that you prefer to propagate your cowardice. You prefer to sell your utter and absolute – albeit popular – bulls*it.
You, Khan, are the pied piper that lured the citizens into his tsunami, while bellowing for negotiations with the rats. The only logical outcome of this would be the people drowning in the sea as the rats rule the town. For as soon as someone smells a rat, you start pointing towards their navel.
You called the mass murder and rapist, Abdul Qadir Mulla innocent. You threw toys out of your pram following Hakimullah Mehsud’s killing. You blame every man and his dog’s problems on drone strikes – virtually the only manoeuvre that stands between the Taliban and them taking over this country. But when it’s time to condemn the TTP’s brutality, the cat drones your tongue.
After TTP has claimed responsibility for killing Chaudhary Aslam you tweet that the “Prov govt must bring perpetrators of this condemnable act 2 justice.” The ‘perpetrators of this condemnable act’ are the TTP, Khan. You type T twice and P once. It’s not a particularly difficult thing to do.
The federal government has itself done bugger all about the Taliban, Khan, but the difference between you and Nawaz Sharif is that he isn’t shielding the Taliban. He supports the Taliban talks as much as he opposes the drone strikes. We all know Pakistani government is for drones, as any person who doesn’t believe that terrorists that defy the constitution should be elevated to the stature of stakeholders, should be.
Our people are dying in our war, Khan. Contrary to your nonsense, the US while safeguarding its self-interests is fighting our war. As things stand, we’re not taking part in America’s war; it’s the other way around. And in wars, people die. The drones ensure the least collateral damage.
And while you continue your absolute drivel about our sovereignty being breached, you conveniently conceal that your masters, the Taliban, abduct Pakistan’s sovereignty, violate it, and rape it in broad daylight. Yet, you continue to be the quintessential rape apologist. And no one’s a bigger coward than a rape apologist, especially when it’s the collective rape of 190 million people.
We’re at war Khan. Ask your buffs to buckle up. No one likes war, no one likes to die. But once you’re in the middle of it, the absolute worst thing you can do is clamour against war. The worst thing you can do is proliferate pessimism. You say no one’s ever been able to defeat the Taliban in human history. One wonders who we defeated in Swat. You say peace talks would solve everything. One wonders who breached February 2009’s ceasefire.
We’re at war Khan. And your response after the enemy killed one of our most noteworthy warriors on January 9 is to hold talks with the enemy. This after you said, “KP govt as well as federal govt must recognise the sacrifice of young Aitzaz who embraced shahadat to save others,” after a brave young man made your pusillanimous ideas seem even more wretched.
We’re at war Khan. And you’re siding with the enemy. I hope you know what that makes you.
A coward. A hypocrite.

PTI minister, MPAs protecting power thieves, claims Abid


PESHAWAR: Minister of State for Water and Power Abid Sher Ali has accused Khyber Pakhtunkhwa ministers of siding with electricity thieves and obstructing Peshawar Electric Supply Company’s recovery drive.
Speaking at a press conference at the Pesco head office on Wednesday, Mr Ali said PTI chairman Imran Khan should pay attention to his party’s performance in power and take action against the ministers and members of the provincial assembly who supported people involved in power pilferage.
“Shah Farman (provincial minister for information) and Fazal-i-Elahi (an MPA belonging to the PTI) encourage sit-ins against Pesco’s recovery drive, causing hindrance in our efforts to reduce the utility’s losses,” he alleged.
He said Pesco could not recover Rs1.3 billion from Mr Farman’s constituency because he was protecting the defaulters. Similarly, he said, Rs367 million was recoverable from Mr Elahi’s constituency.
The state minister also presented a list containing area and feeder-wise arrears to be recovered from the constituencies of four PTI MPAs and one belonging to the Qaumi Watan Party. According to the list, Rs333m is recoverable from Ishtiaq Urmar’s constituency PK-11, Rs4.09bn from Arif Admadzai’s PK-22 and Rs147m from Khalid Khan’s PK-20.
Mr Ali urged the PTI chief to ask his MPAs to stop supporting defaulters and power thieves in their constituencies and cooperate with Pesco in its recovery drive. He said the company had suffered a loss of Rs13bn over the past six months because the province had several ‘no-go’ areas where its staff could not dare go to distribute electricity bills or take action against the defaulters.
He said that several areas around Peshawar, including Old Badaber, Matani, Hazar Khani, Pishtakhara and Landi Arbab, had become no-go areas. “If this is the situation in the provincial capital then what can we expect from other districts.”
The minister said that Imran Khan should take notice of his party-led provincial government’s poor performance on the law and order side and his ministers’ indulgence in facilitating power theft. “We are not opposed to Shah Farman making hue and cry against us … but we want him to stop creating hurdles for us by aiding the thieves in his area.”
He said he had asked the Pesco chief to write a letter to KP Chief Minister Pervez Khattak, reminding him of his obligation to end ‘no-go’ areas’ in the province. He said the company would not continue with 18 hours loadshedding a day in parts of the province with whooping losses.
Mr Ali said Pesco suffered Rs317m or 90 per cent losses a month even if it supplied electricity to areas getting power from 61 feeders six hours a day, Rs296m (80-90pc) losses from 64 feeders, Rs188m (70-80pc) from 47 feeders, Rs172m (60-70pc) from 50 feeders and Rs175m (50-60pc) from 61 feeders. He said the company was incurring monthly losses of Rs1.14bn from 283 feeders.
“We will stop electricity supply to areas where people refuse to pay bills and come under the system. In many areas people have taken connections directly from electricity polls instead of applying for the same from Pesco,” the minister said, adding that the company had removed illegally installed 147 power transfers.
He said that in Bannu people had come out with rifles after Pesco disconnected illegal connections. He regretted that the chief minister had sought time to resolve the issue, but the problem was still there. “We will stop electricity supply to Bannu after one week if the issue of illegal connections is not resolved,” the minister warned.
He recalled that the federal government had promulgated an ordinance in December last year under which causing obstruction to Wapda’s work was declared a non-bailable offence and the culprit would be liable to be punished with fine of up to Rs10 million and three-year imprisonment.
“If anybody is found creating hurdles in our effort in future, we will act against him sternly,” he warned.
