PM okays anti-terrorist force for Punjab

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Friday sanctioned the formation of an anti-terrorist force in Punjab, DawnNews reported.

The decision was taken at a high-level meeting chaired by the prime minister at his Raiwind residence.

Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif, Inspector General Punjab Police Khan Baig and other senior officials were present during the meeting.

The meeting reviewed the law and order situation in Punjab during which the officials gave a detailed briefing to Prime Minister Sharif on the matter.

Addressing those present, the premier said the government must ensure that its writ remains and for that purpose it has to effectively tackle elements engaged in terrorism and extortion.

He said no one would be allowed to challenge the writ of the state and directed that the anti-terrorist force be kept separate from the police force.

The prime minister moreover directed that those inducted in the force should be professional and competent individuals and should be paid well and given the most efficient equipment to carry out their duties.

Punjab might be least affected / hit by the Terrorism - but does that mean it does not houses the most Target Killers and Terrorists of the country ????
lets face it, and accept it, AQ members had their biggest Techinial hub of the region in Lahore, Target killers of karachi were arrested from Murree, lets not talk about the madrasas in the province

True, Punjab is actually the base of hiding and grooming terrorism, we knew of sectarian terrorists or pro Kashmir freedom militants being groomed here, now we also know Al-qaida's safe heaven is Lahore.

This is how the military comes in when personal forces start to get raised on public dime. Then they cry that democracy doesn't get a chance. What this democracy they believe in where they put their votes with the help of the police and then carry the boxes themselves. The crying has to stop. Democracy for brown people is the biggest waste of resources if these things do not change today. I am not going to be around forever waiting for a better tomorrow.

@Leader you are free to make your choice. You can leave Punjab and move to KPK.

Dude, you sound like this n-e-rd..

@mods Please change the title of this thread. In no where the article states 'Punjab being the most effected ' There are Anti-Terrorrism Forces (ATF) in peaceful countries like Switzerland, Norway and Canada too

Karachi has worst law and order conditions in sindh, KPK is badly effected by terrorism, FATA is a war zone and we have insurgency in Baluchistan. But here, one dumb head is busy making his backyard (Punjab) look better, and then clowns like you who know only one thing, obey the lord..

Thank You !

But I think there really isn't a need for a Federal Level Anti-Terrorism Force because of :

(i) Terrorism is often a times a Policing Issue & no other force could ever know about the Ins & Outs of a City or any other Area better than the Police because they have to interact with those people on a daily basis, are usually from amongst those same people & they don't operate the way an Armed Force does !

That is precisely why even Karachi is a Policing Issue & the Army isn't required to go in there ! Even Baluchistan & even KPK & FATA are Policing Issues. I think it would've been better if the Levies in both Baluchistan & FATA were the ones who, along with the Local Police & possibly some Qaumi Lashkar, had established Peace in those areas when the TTP & the Baluch Separatists kept coming in ! The reason is when the Army goes in then they operate like an Army & because they are an Army they're bound to be seen as an Invading Army from the 'Outside' or as the most convenient narrative goes 'the Punjabi Army'; I think even a Federal Force would be thought of in the same manner !

(ii) I think its better if we revamp the current Police Force, increase their capacity through proper training & better arms & ammunition & also raising & bettering the existing Elite Units within the Police (some are trained by the SSG themselves) ! Certainly de-politicizing the Police & not using our Elite Units within the Police as Bodyguards for notables would be a good step ! In addition to that the already existing Police Intelligence Outfits should have their capacity built up & them being properly trained for the new challenges that they're required to combat !

(iii) We've already got a Federal Force in the form of the Paramilitary Forces - FC KPK, FC Baluchistan, Pakistan Rangers (Punjab), Pakistan Rangers (Sindh) & a few others ! And if the Police isn't able to handle anything then it means an All-Out-War which would required Heavy Hitters like the FC to go in & if they don't work than the Army !

Mujhee tou lagtaa haiii that this ATF thing is either a duplication of resources or a misappropriation of resources (Police should've been upgraded) at best or a Political Stunt at worst !

Main nay apni post mitta de - didn't read your complete post and later found that i am repeating same thing which is already in your post

If this anti-terrorist force is a part of Pakistan Army then it is okay..
If this is a private army then
