Wonât allow indiscipline in police force, CM warns again

Sanjeev Singh Bariana

Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, April 24

The office of the Chief Minister will not tolerate indiscipline in the police force, Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh made it clear while interacting with the media here on Tuesday. “Discipline in the uniformed forces, be it the Army, the paramilitary or the police, has to be maintained at all costs,” he stressed.The remark is significant. It comes in the backdrop of Anupam Gupta, amicus curiae (friend of the court) in the drug probe case, telling the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Monday that the CM was in contempt of court for threatening officers with dismissal for having approached the court, calling it as “indiscipline.” Sidharth Chattopadhyay, SIT chief, had last month created ripples when he told the court that the probe against an SSP in a drug case was leading him to top cops Suresh Arora and Dinkar Gupta and, therefore, there was an attempt to falsely implicate him in a case. With the split in the police top brass wide open, the CM had subsequently called a meeting to warn he would not tolerate indiscipline.The CM said he had not interfered in the matter before the court, but only given directions to police officers in the interest of the state. “A boss, on the top of the hierarchy, has to be heard. Anybody who questions him is breaking discipline,” he maintained.On reasons for STF head Harpreet Sidhu, who was given independent charge, now reporting to DGP Arora instead of the CMO, Capt Amarinder replied: “Sidhu was on central deputation and could not have been brought back to head the STF during his deputation tenure. He was made to join the CMO. His period of deputation over, he is now under the DGP’s command.” On MLAs being unhappy over not being taken in the Cabinet, the CM said they would be “accommodated.”

Jammu: Pakistani troops on Monday targeted forward posts and villages along the Line of Control in Poonch district with mortar shells and gunfire in violation of the ceasefire, an official said. “The Pakistan army initiated unprovoked firing of small arms, automatics and mortars from 5.30 pm in the Krishnaghati sector along the LoC”, he said.

‘Bajwa Doctrine’ spells Army raj without coup by Lt Gen Bhopinder Singh

April 16, 2018 webadmin Leave a comment

As Gen. Qamar Bajwa slowly but surely consolidates his power and legitimises his angst in the popular imagination

Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has had an ominous relationship with all six Chiefs of Army Staff that he has tenured with, including the four that he “handpicked” by superseding senior officers. In 1993, his choice of Gen. Waheed Kakar was instrumental in pressuring Mr Sharif to resign as Prime Minister. The next chief in Nawaz’s tenure was the choice of the previous government, Gen. Jehangir Karamat, who was forced into premature resignation by Mr Sharif. The third was the “safe” mohajir, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, who packed off Nawaz Sharif to Saudi Arabia in a bloodless coup. Later, Nawaz Sharif, in his third innings as Prime Minister, had to deal with the outgoing dictator Pervez Musharraf’s choice, the highly unpredictable Gen. Pervez Kayani, who unilaterally extended his stay at the Army House. During his third stint as Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif had punted on Gen. Raheel Sharif, who ultimately turned out to be his own man and gave Nawaz Sharif sleepless nights with the rumours of a “takeover”, only to pick yet another supposedly “pro-democracy” and low key officer as his successor, Gen. Qamar Bajwa, who silently allowed Mr Sharif to get disqualified and has more recently upped the ante against Nawaz Sharif’s Pakistan Muslim League (N) government.

From a Pervez Musharraf to a Raheel Sharif, it has typically taken just over a year for the incumbent Chief of Army Staff to run into an uncomfortable equation and power tussle with Nawaz Sharif. Given that Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa assumed office on November 29, 2016, his restiveness with the political establishment and the accompanying portents of the power struggle were overdue as per previous trends and traditions. The buildup to the fractious relationship normally assumes the pattern of the military establishment expressing concerns on matters that are beyond the domain of security — such as the economy, federalism, intra-party feuds, etc. The contours of expression were established by Gen. Ayub Khan in 1958, then Chief of the Pakistani Army, who noted: “I am receiving very depressing reports of economic distress and maladministration through political interference, frustration and complete lack of faith by the people in political leaders… The general belief is that none of these men have the honesty of purpose, integrity and patriotism to root out the evils of the country, which will require drastic action.” Much later, in 1999, Gen. Musharraf echoed the same line with: “There is despondency and hopelessness surrounding us with no light visible anywhere around… we have reached a stage where our economy has crumbled, our credibility is lost, state institutions lie demolished.”

The last six months have seen the relatively reclusive Gen. Qamar Bajwa asserting his institutional presence, defying governmental preferences and openly holding court with his holistic vision for Pakistan that has grandiosely been described as the “Bajwa Doctrine”. From stamping his own martial signature with his Operation Radd-ud-Fasaad (his predecessor had undertaken Operation Zarb-e-Azb), to ignoring government orders to disperse protesters and instead undermining the civilian government by mediating with Islamist protesters, to delivering his views on wholly civilian matters like the 18th Amendment of the Pakistan Constitution that devolves powers to the states, to becoming the first high-ranking foreign dignitary to visit the Maldives, has all the makings and optics of the Pakistani Army’s restless institutional overreach and thunderous grand-standing. Another crucial aspect attributed to the “Bajwa Doctrine” is the blunt counter to US President Donald Trump’s accusation that Pakistan’s track record on terror had, “given the United States nothing but lies and deceit” — the “Bajwa Doctrine” seeks to bluntly refute the US President’s perception, and instead posits an alternative assertion that suggests that the US needs to do more, and for Pakistan to not get intimidated by the US pressure. As part of its logical extension, it seeks to invest in a new set of replacement allies that host inherently anti-US governments — such as China, Russia, Iran and Turkey. The sovereign humiliation accompanying the US military aid cuts to Pakistan is essentially getting repackaged and replayed back as a sign of national pride and dignity, as Pakistani military spokesman Maj. Gen. Asif Ghafoor insists: “Pakistan never fought for money but for peace.”

Whether the “Bajwa Doctrine” is a hardbound set of fleshed-out policies and actions, or is a just a creative interpretation of the Pakistani military’s fidgetiness is still unclear — however, there are lurking signs of “military control” as the largest television channel, Geo TV, gets forced off the cable networks owing to its reportage of the Pakistani military machinations. Gen. Qamar Bajwa has also not shied away from sharing his opinion on civilian ministerial colleagues by commenting on former finance minister Ishaq Dar: “It is a shame that out of 210 million people, only 1.2 million pay taxes… He (Ishaq Dar) was a total disaster for this country.” In the cloak and dagger style of Pakistan’s intra-institutional intrigues, the Pakistani military has tactically joined hands with the judiciary to retain the pressure on the beleaguered and cornered civilian government by suggesting that “destabilising the judiciary or ridiculing its verdicts could land us in political disarray. Anyone who is indignant with the Supreme Court decisions (should) not be allowed to humiliate the judiciary or raise question marks on the integrity of the honourable judges”.

As Gen. Qamar Bajwa slowly but surely consolidates his power and legitimises his angst in the popular imagination, he continues paying lip service to the principle of civilian democracy — “salvation lies in protecting and preserving the integrity of all state institutions (Parliament, judiciary and military) as much as in upholding the rule of law on the way to free and fair elections”. With Pakistan’s general election due to be held in July this year, the emergence of the ghost of the “Bajwa Doctrine” has made the run-up and the possible outcomes more unpredictable. Sensing the direction of the wind, Opposition leader Imran Khan has unabashedly confessed: “I have more praise for Gen. Bajwa than Gen. Raheel Sharif”, signalling the importance of the Baloch Regiment officer who is expectedly stepping out of the shadows of the Rawalpindi barracks.

India lodges protest after Pak prevents Sikh pilgrims from meeting diplomats

India lodges protest after Pak prevents Sikh pilgrims from meeting diplomats

Tribune News Service

New Delhi, April 15

India on Sunday lodged a strong protest with Pakistan over blocking of access of visiting Sikh pilgrims to Indian diplomats in that country and even “compelling” the Indian envoy to turn back while he was on his way to a prominent gurdwara there.

A group of around 2,100 Sikh pilgrims are on a visit to Pakistan from April 12 under a bilateral agreement on facilitating visits to religious shrines.

“India has lodged a strong protest with Pakistan over a block of access for visiting pilgrims to Indian diplomats and consular teams,” MEA official release said, calling it an “inexplicable diplomatic discourtesy”.

The MEA said it was in violation of an established practice under which the Indian High Commission’s consular/protocol team is attached with visiting pilgrims. This helps facilitate consular and protocol duties, like helping out in medical or family emergencies.

Protesting against reported denial of access to the consular team at Wagah railway station and Panja Sahib Gurudwara, the MEA said: “On April 14, the Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan, who was to visit Gurdwara Panja Sahib at the invitation of the Chairman of the Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB), was suddenly asked to return while en route to the shrine, for unspecified ‘security’ reasons. The High Commissioner, who was to greet Indian pilgrims on the occasion of Baisakhi, was thus compelled to return without meeting Indian citizens”.

While an official reaction is expected from Islamabad, sources at the Pakistan High Commission in Delhi have claimed that the Indian High Commission was consulted on the issue and envoy Ajay Bisaria was advised to stay away from the event. An official Pakistani source said this was done in view of riled up emotions of Sikhs agitated over the film Nanak Shah Fakir, which was in Haryana and Punjab.
Over 20,000 Sikh pilgrims from across the world are attending Baisakhi celebrations in Pakistan from April 12-21.

IAF facilities on alert after terror intel

SECURITY THREAT Stations in Punjab are again on Pakbased militants’ radar, prompting force to step up vigil

NEWDELHI: Indian Air force (IAF) Stations and other vital installations in Punjab are once again on the radar of Pakistan-based militant groups, according to fresh inputs received by central intelligence agencies that are especially significant in the context of a statement issued by the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) militant outfit vowing to avenge the killings of 13 militants that took place during three counter-insurgency operations in south Kashmir this week. Four civilians and three army men also died.

HT FILE■ Punjab has seen some major fidayeen attacks in recent years, including one at the Pathankot airbase, resulting in a fourday gun battle, and eight people, including one civilian, being killed.According to a document shared with central and state security agencies, three separate inputs have been received in the last three months that indicate Pakistan-based militant outfits have”shown interest in gathering information” about Sri Guru Ravi Dass ji airport in Amritsar and the Raja Sansi Air Force station, also in Amritsar.

A separate and older document , sent to the agencies in January, states that operatives of the Laskhar-e-Taiba and JeM could smuggle “military hardware into India through Punjab’s Gurdaspur district to execute terrorist attacks”. Hindustan Times has seen the documents.

Punjab has seen some major fidayeen attacks in recent years. In 2015, a police station in Gurdaspur was attacked resulting in the killing of four policemen and three civilians. The following year an ever bigger attack was carried out in January at the Pathankot airbase, resulting in a four-day gun battle, and eight people, including one civilian, being killed.

A senior CRPF official said on condition of anonymity that the force is doing its “best to be prepared for any intrusion.”

Director general of Jammu and Kashmir police SP Vaid said he wasn’t aware of intelligence regarding Punjab but confirmed the Jaish statement.

Internal security expert Ajai Sahni believes that unless JeM actually executes or attempts to carry out an attack, the statement should be seen as a “political move”.

“After the encounters in Shopian there have been many statements of condemnation issues by various groups and individuals including the Pakistani Prime Minister. JeM statement too is one among the many,” he said.

IAF’s 10-day exercise to test fighting skills

IAFâs 10-day exercise to test fighting skills

New Delhi, April 6

The Indian Air Force will conduct a 10-day exercise to practise simultaneous ‘wartime drills’ along the northern and western frontiers, amply indicating the readiness for a collusive two-front war with Pakistan and China. This exercise will hone the war-fighting skills in a real time scenario.Named ‘Gaganshakti’, the exercise will be conducted by the IAF from April 8-22. “The aim is real time coordination, deployment and employment of air power in a short and intense battle scenario,” the IAF said on Friday. “The focus will be on weapons delivery,” said a source.The IAF will exercise the entire machinery to validate its concept of operations and war-waging capability. With each successive exercise, the lessons learnt in the previous exercises and doctrinal precepts are put to test, for developing new concepts. This year, the IAF has planned tactics that will be tested in a real time scenario. — TNS

AttariWagah visitors’ gallery aiming for June inauguration

April 27, 2018 webadmin Leave a comment

AMRITSAR: After missing several deadlines, the new visitors’ gallery at the AttariWagah joint checkpost is set to be inaugurated in June. The new gallery will accommodate around 20,000 viewers for the Retreat Ceremony on the border.

SAMEER SEHGAL/HT■ The new visitors’ gallery at the Attari Border in Amritsar.

The retreat ceremony at the Attari-Wagah border, in which, BSF Jawans and the Pakistan Rangers indulge in aggressive posturing and foot-stomping, is an attraction for tourists worldwide. There is space for only 5,000 people, but almost 10,000 people reach the venue each evening.

WORK IN PROGRESS

A senior official of Central Public Works Department (CPWD), who didn’t want to be named, said more than 95% work of the gallery has been completed.

“We have already handed over the gallery to the Border Security Force (BSF) for tourists’ access as it provides a better view of the ceremony,” he said, adding that the finishing work of a conference hall and a medical inspection (MI) room inside the gallery was underway, which will be completed before June this year.

The officer further said that earlier the cost of the project was ₹17 crore, which was revised to ₹32 crore. He said that as per information, the gallery will be inaugurated by the Prime Minister or other senior minister of the central government.

Apart from the new U-shaped gallery, washrooms, conference hall, CCTV room, toilets, dining hall, guard room, dormitory and kitchen are also being built at the place. Being a highly-sensitive area, the gallery will also have hi-tech CCTV cameras and other security provisions. The project of the ministry of home affairs (MHA) was expected by the BSF to be completed by March 2017, then by August 2017, and then by January 2018, but all these deadlines were missed pertaining to incomplete work.

Another added attraction to come up is a museum parallel to the gallery. The CPWD official said the construction work of the museum was complete and it would be handed over to the BSF “very soon”. This museum would depict the glorious history of the BSF, its achievements, weapons and other related aspects.

Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, April 21

While rewarding his loyalists, Punjab CM Capt Amarinder Singh on Saturday sprung a few surprises in the allocation of ministries, ignoring senior Cabinet members. Chief Minister’s confidant Tript Rajinder Bajwa was allotted the important Housing and Urban Development portfolio. He already holds the Rural Development Department. On the other hand, Health Minister Brahm Mohindra, the seniormost minister in the Cabinet, was given the additional charge of the insignificant Removal of Grievances Department. The portfolios held by senior ministers Manpreet Badal and Navjot Singh Sidhu remained untouched, indicating the Rahul Gandhi factor. There was no change in the departments held by Sadhu Singh Dharamsot and Charanjit Channi either. The Chief Minister retained the 19 departments with him, including the crucial departments of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare, Excise and Taxation, General Administration, Home Affairs and Personnel. He, however, unburdened himself of Housing and Urban Development Department, which was allotted to Tript Bajwa, Transport to Aruna Chaudhary, Revenue and Mining to Sukhbinder Singh Sarkaria and Food and Supplies to Bharat Bhushan Ashu. The latter is close to Rahul Gandhi. He and Vijay Inder Singla are the juniormost in the Cabinet. Singla has been given Public Works Department. Sunder Sham Arora, who has the backing of MP Ambika Soni, has been allotted Industries and Commerce, a department which is generally given to a senior minister.By elevating Aruna Chaudhary and Razia Sultana to the Cabinet rank and then rewarding them with important portfolio, the CM has pleased the minorities and Dalits. Sultana, who held Public Works and Social Security departments, has now been given Higher Education and Water Supply and Sanitation. Amarinder’s confidant OP Soni has been allotted School Education. Gurpeet Kangar and Sukhjinder Randhawa, both close to PPCC chief Sunil Jakhar, have been given Power and Cooperation, respectively. Mohali MLA Balbir Sidhu has been allotted Animal Husbandry and Dairy Development.

Pak army chief backs talks to resolve disputes

Pak Army chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa. — File

Islamabad, April 15

The peaceful resolution of India-Pakistan disputes, including the core issue of Kashmir, can be found through a comprehensive and meaningful dialogue, Pakistan army chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa has said.His remarks came during his speech at the passing-out parade of cadets at the Pakistan Military Academy in Kakul on Saturday.“While such a dialogue is no favour to any party, it remains the inevitable precursor to peace. Pakistan remains committed to such a dialogue, but only on the basis of sovereign equality, dignity and honour,” he said. PTI
