Abbotabad incidents denounced in Senate

ISLAMABAD: Senators from treasury as well as opposition benches Monday strongly condemned the alleged misuse of powers by police force in Hazara division against the protesting people that resulted in killing of more than seven persons and injuring over 100.

The senators called for judicial inquiry into the incident and suspension of DIG police for abusing powers against the peaceful protestors. They also called upon the Awami National Party (ANP) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) to review the renaming of NWFP province in order to resolve the issue amicably while keeping in view the sentiments of Hazara people.

Soon after the start of Senate session, PML-N Senator Zafar Ali Shah and JUI-F Senator Talha Mehmood rose from their chairs and raised the incident in the House.

They said that the proceedings of the House should be suspended to discuss the Hazara situation.

Zafar Ali Shah alleged that the Karakurm Highway has been blocked by the protestors after misuse of power by police. He said that the issue must be taken seriously to avoid further unrest in the area.

Senator Talha claimed that 10 persons have been killed and over 100 received bullet injuries as a result of police firing. He said the federal and provincial governments should consider the severity of the situation and take immediate notice of the situation.

Leader of Opposition, Wasim Sajjad said people were protesting in Hazara, Hari Pur, Abbotabad, Manshera, Dera Ismail Khan, Lakki Marwet against renaming of NWFP province.

He said that the political parties and the government should review the renaming of the province and resolve the matter with consensus and aspiration of Hazara people.

He said that the House”s Business Advisory Committee has already decided to discuss the issue in the House, therefore, it should be talked about. Leader of the House Syed Nayyer Hussain Bokhari said that as agreed in the House BAC meeting the matter should be discussed. The government is ready to listen to the parliamentarians.

The Chairman Senate allowed discussion by the parliamentary leaders over the ssue.

Senator Prof Khursheed Ahmed proposed four measures to normalize thesituation including suspension of DIG, conducting a judicial inquiry, seek apolitical solution and convene an all parties meeting.

He regretted and condemned the brutal use of force, dragging people outof their homes and shooting at them. “It is a sensitive issue. All politicalforces should join heads to resolve it.”

He advocated not to delay the bill only for one reason of renaming theprovince as there are 101 other clauses as well, but urged not to use forceagainst peaceful protestors.

Zafar said it seems that NWFP is a victim ofconspiracies. It might be a bad management or a local or an international conspiracy.

“It is highly condemnable that Police brutally tortured the peacefulpeople. They have the right to protest, as it was the matter of their feelings that were earlier hurt by renaming the province and now by firing bullets on them,” he said.

Shah questioned, “What is going on over there, is it a service to theConstitution. Is it a conspiracy to create unrest in the area from where wehave the only link to our time tested friend China. Let us collectively think and penalize the officials whose orders resulted in loss of precious lives.”

OMG politicians say naughty words?? Oh boy, do you think they go potty too?
