http://pwyoutube.wordpress.com/2010/0... • http://pwyoutube.wordpress.com • • Punjab Governor Salman Taseer (PPP) interviewed by Rana Mubasher - Mar 9, 2010 - NewsOne TV • • Missing first part of interview. • • Whether Salman Taseer and his son drink or not (which seems to be the main subject of most media coverage of him), or that he may support Benazir or Zardari (another red flag), however he makes some interesting revelations in this interview about Shehbaz Sharif's extrajudicial actions: • • • that the FIA center bombed a few days ago was a non-official torture center that was outsourced by Shehbaz Sharif • • that Shehbaz Sharif was running a private interrogation cell in a residential neighborhood at the Model Town building (which was bombed and media reported it as an FIA interrogation center ). Other news reports have resident comments that prisoners were brought to this cell and they could hear their screams from the house. • • that Rana Maqbool ( famous encounter specialist - which is a euphemism for extrajudicial killing arranger - who is mafroor in Sindh made Secretary Prosecution in the Punjab Government) along with a Major Mushtaq (Retired probably) were running this cell. • • questions the competence of Rana Maqbool to be running the prosecution department if he is mafroor and running extrajudicial cells. • • Taseer makes apt comment that if top hierarchy advocates extrajudicial action, then it is no wonder that police is out of control - and this mirrors comments made here that lower level employees of police will feel they have immunity to do such actions for themselves if they have previously performed them at the request of the Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif. Note that Shehbaz Sharif has a well established reputation for extrajudicial killings (where police stage a fake encounter in order to justify killing an alleged criminal). This is indicative of the lack of trust in the judicial process (which maybe correct) - however given their recent support of Iftikhar Chaudhry, a CONTINUATION of this behaviour suggests they STILL do not trust the courts ! (which may also be correct). But there is serious disciplinary impact (let alone the human right aspect) on the discipline and morale of the police force, if officers who willingly participate in killing at the order of Shehbaz Sharif are given promotions and elevated over the heads of other police officers. Since the arrival of Shehbaz Sharif after extended stay in the land of the Saud family the media coverage suggests an escalation in extrajudicial killings again in Lahore and the Punjab. • • that Rana Sanaullah frequently touts his rishtay daari i.e. family relationship with Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry - which might explain Iftikhar Chaudhry's predilection towards Nawaz Sharif - although both Taseer and Rana explicitly avoid going in that direction (Chief Justice will probably call them to court if they do). A true test of Iftikhar CHaudhry's independence will become clear once we see him start to act against Nawaz Sharif. Acting against the much hated (both within and outside the PPP) Zardari is the easy thing to do - to act against the Sharif brothers will be a true indicator of Iftikhar Chaudhry's mettle. • • • passing reference is made to recent revelations that Rana Sanaullah has close relationship with Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (a banned organization which advocates that Shia are wajib-ul-qatl ). This relates to recent media coverage that Rana Sanaullah (and PML-N in general) is giving party tickets for leaders of banned religious organizations and that Rana Sanaullah has been leading rallies with heavy police escort for leaders who are banned (bad signal to the police as well). It should be noted that Lashkar-e-Jhangvi has variously been reported as having received funds from Iraqi intelligence (outcome of the Iraq-Iran war - with this being part of the proxy Arab/Israel/U.S vs. Iran war being waged in Pakistan). There were reports of initial Mossad involvement with this outfit as well, although that is not clear. • • • reveals the numerous PML-N leaders involved in rape, cheating on exams (Rawalpindi), killing an army veteran and fleeing the scene (Lahore), the involvement with Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and Sipah-e-Sahaba (another banned outfit) and the participation and the recent abettment and participation of PML-N public representative in the public chhittrole of alleged criminals by police officials (widely reported in media recently). • • interesting discussion about how PML-N leadership nay muaf kar dya hai the PML-N elected representative who was found to have stolen jewelry from a women's gym. Salman Taseer aptly observes that muafee is not the right of Shehbaz Sharif but those whose property was stolen. • • Rana Sanaullah plaza being illegal escapes destruction while others are prosecuted in Lahore.
