Missing Persons a Big Challenge, Law Minister Tells Senate – Pakistan

Aimal Wali calls for truth and reconciliation commission to rectify past mistakes Ali Zafar says talks with government are not about Imran's release, but people's rights

ISLAMABAD: Amid growing concerns in the upper house of Parliament over the deteriorating law and order situation in two provinces, Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar on Wednesday informed the Senate that the issue of missing persons constituted a major challenge for the Prime Minister and his cabinet.

We believe that the state of Pakistan should function within a democratic framework, he said after JUI-F parliamentary leader Kamran Murtaza raised the issue in the Senate.

The minister assured that everything possible within the legal framework would be done. He said the commission on missing persons had been reconstituted, comprising a retired Supreme Court judge with an impeccable record. He stressed that maintaining public order is the responsibility of the provinces, although federal forces can be requisitioned by them under Article 245 of the Constitution.

Earlier, Senator Kamran Murtaza, speaking on a point of public importance, had expressed concern over the increasing cases of enforced disappearances in Balochistan, saying that rightly or wrongly, security forces and agencies were held responsible for these incidents.

He stressed that in retaliation, the province's national roads were blocked. Stressing that the use of force cannot solve the problems, he called for the development of a mechanism to improve the situation.

Balochistan and its people are moving away from you, and public support is increasing for those who are not with you, he added. ANP leader Aimal Wali Khan held successive governments responsible for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's woes, saying the province had intentionally been turned into a gunpowder pile once again.

He said that from 1988 until 9/11, Pakistan continued to promote the Taliban. He added that in 1990, 1993 and 1997, Nawaz Sharif supported Talibanization and the Taliban. Criticizing the state's past policy of promoting Talibanization for dollars, he said KP was the main victim of this strategy.

He said that in 2013, even governments were installed according to the will of the Pakistani Taliban. TTP leader Baitullah Mehsud or a member of his family announced from Waziristan that only the PML-N, JI and PTI would be acceptable to them. Therefore, PML-N formed the government at the Center and PTI and JI at KP, he added.

After this, the PTI openly supported the Pakistani Taliban and discussed their integration. He said the National Action Plan (NAP) clearly called for action against militant enablers.

Mr. Wali called for the formation of a truth and reconciliation commission to accept and rectify the mistakes of the past, pledging that the same mistakes will not be repeated. It is our bad luck that an army general comes to train the Taliban and others come to eliminate them. He also said that there should be a way out to compensate for KP's losses in terrorism, adding that the entire nation should form a united discourse to fight against terrorism.

PTI Parliamentary Leader in the Senate Syed Ali Zafar strongly defended former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife in the Al-Qadir Trust case, insisting that political persecution was not a sign of strength , but an admission of fear.

He also said that dialogue with the government does not mean that Imran Khan was seeking any concession for himself.

The dialogue aims to restore fundamental rights and human rights, protect the Constitution and the rule of law. Imran Khan will win his cases in court, he added.
