KP minister ?rationalises? militant attacks - DAWN.COM

PESHAWAR, July 1: The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf openly came forward to justify acts of terrorism in provincial assembly on Monday when one of its ministers instead of condemning the suicide attack by militants in Peshawar tried to rationalise it.

“Mr Speaker, suppose if drone hits the residence of an MPA in this House then what will be his reaction,” said Shah Farman, minister for public health and engineering, while taking the floor on a point of order in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly.

ANP parliamentary leader Sardar Hussain Babak reacted strongly to the minister’s statement and said that the provincial government conveyed to the people that Pakhtuns would die unless federal government formed a policy against terrorism and halted drone strikes. He said that people had been demoralised owing to the defensive policy of PTI.

He said that federal and provincial governments were playing blame game. He said that previous government was accused of killing Pakhtuns for the sake of dollars, but the present government did not decline financial assistance from western countries.

“Provincial government at least can stop USAID from running the provincial assembly website and ask it to wind up development projects if it can’t force it to halt drone attacks,” Mr Babak said.

He said that militants had resurfaced in Peshawar, Swat and other areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and people were kidnapped for ransom. He said that there was general perception that Taliban were governing the province which might not wrong.

Shah Farman, who had served PTI as secretary information, argued that people should know details of women, children and other innocent civilians killed in drone strikes during the past few years.

He said that foreign affairs and defence were federal subjects and PTI would not violate the Constitution. He said that it was responsibility of central government to engage Taliban in negotiation to end militancy.

The minister said that provincial government could not halt drone strikes and instead of criticising the government, the opposition should ascertain causes of militancy.

He said that the country was indulged in war 10 years ago to earn dollars and people were used as mercenaries. He opposed deployment of army in Fata and said that the country should pull itself out from the US-led war against terrorism as soon as possible.

The minister remarks came in the House when Pakistan People’s Party MPA Nighat Yasmin Orakzai on a point of order condemned car bomb and suicide attacks in Peshawar and Quetta on Sunday that killed over 50 people and wounded more than 100.

Deputy Speaker Imtiaz Shahid Qureshi was presiding over the proceeding.

Ms Orakzai suggested that the House should pass unanimous resolution against the barbarism committed by militants. She asked the government to adopt aggressive policy to stop massacre of innocent people.

She said that except Punjab, people of other three provinces were at the mercy of terrorists. She said that provincial government instead of waiting for federal government to frame policy on terrorism should take concrete steps against militancy in the province. She staged walkout when the treasury members booed.

Opposition parties in the assembly seem divided over militancy. Awami National Party and Pakistan People’s Party are openly condemning militancy while Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-F and Pakistan Muslim League-N have different approach and do not attack militants openly.

Senior Minister Sikandar Khan Sherpao said that federal government could not absolve itself from its responsibility. He warned that militancy could spell over to other parts of the country.

He said that government had inherited militancy and opposition should not blame it for its flawed policies.

Later, treasury benches brought a resolution against US drone strikes but opposition disagreed with its content. The content of the resolution tabled by the government was that federal government should stop drone attacks, because it was violation of territorial jurisdiction as well as international law.

The treasury had also included the name of JUI-F MPA Mufti Said Janan without his consent. Mufti said that he was tabling resolution in which supply for Nato forces via Khyber Pakhtunkhwa should be linked with cessation of drone strikes. After protest, it was decided that a joint resolution would be tabled in consultation with opposition on Tuesday.

bibi, ideal PTI only exists in facebook, the real PTI is completely different and has terrorist sympathisers, pashtun nationalists, and you name it, PTI is still confused how to deal with the terrorists

any act of terrorism doesnt justify another terrorism through drone attacks

innocent people in both cases so no justification

 

[Pakistanisage]

You first do state terrorism and than expect peace you need to stop first state terrorism than can only expect peace other wise situation will get worse

Make up your mind Zarvan. Are you a Muslim ?

If you claim to be a Muslim, how can you support killing of innocent Muslims or non-Muslims ?

Islam says if you kill one innocent person, it is like you killed the whole Humanity.

So you support killing of Innocent people. if so , there is no difference between you and the Jahil animals called TTP.

Pakistan does not own those Drones, the US does.

Fight the US .

I wonder what will happen if in these TTP attacks kill your mother, father and your family.

Will you still support these Animals ?

You need to stop being American ally basically puppet and stop drone attacks than expect peace and if you are going to allow drone attacks and think nothing would happen in return than you are living in fools paradise and fully agree with @Spring Onion post

Yes your support of drones have killed 2600 innocent people and Army operations have killed thousands and thousands of more innocent people and if you think by doing these kind of actions on American orders you can have peace than forget it and when one part of nation stands against their government because of their mass murders done by state than you should not expect it remain ethical I don't expect anything good from a person or a group whose mother and wife and children and brothers are either killed by USA by our support or by our own Armed Forces I don't expect anything good in return when also I didn't do much to raise voice against this state terrorism

I am equally against the DRONE attacks as it is a violation of Pakistan's Sovereignty. I want PAF to shoot down Drones if USA does not stop using the illegal Drone attacks. I want our Government to challenge the USA in all of the World Forums. But I also am against the Animal TTP who kills my innocent fellow Pakistanis in KPK, Sindh and Balochistan.

Your Support and Sympathy for the JAAHIL and ANIMAL TTP is sickening. If you claim to be a MUSLIM, then speak out like a MUSLIM and speak out against the killing of innocent People of Pakistan, by this low life TTP.
