The Federal Human Rights Minister, Riaz Pirzada, has made a statement claiming that the former director general of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Lieutenant General Faiz Hameed, sought to bring back the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). As a result of this revelation, Pakistan has seen a surge in terrorist activity, with the most recent incident being the attack on the Karachi police chief’s office, which resulted in four deaths and 18 injuries.
The current government and the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) have been blaming one another for the recent security issues in the country. According to the coalition, the PTI engaged in faulty negotiations with militants and that such actions were never approved by the parliament. However, PTI leader Shireen Mazari previously accused ex-army chief retired General Qamar Javed Bajwa of attempting to resettle TTP members in Pakistan.
According to Minister Pirzada, army generals suggested bringing back TTP to the mainstream during a closed-door briefing. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Shehbaz Sharif opposed the proposal made by Gen Faiz, who reminded the meeting of the popular leaders martyred by the TTP, including Benazir Bhutto. As a result, Pirzada stated that the proposal had backfired, and had not been implemented.
In the interview, the minister also spoke about the F-9 Park rape case in Islamabad. He expressed his concern about the criminals roaming at night and stated that people should protect themselves from such incidents, adding that good upbringing was necessary for children to prevent such attacks.
Regarding the issue of missing persons, the minister stated that the courts were responsible for punishment and relief, making them the real protectors of human rights. He added that the cases of missing persons were debatable, and some individuals go missing while others hide in mountains or other countries. Pirzada said that until the law and order situation improved in the country, the issue of missing persons would remain unsolved.
In conclusion, Minister Pirzada’s remarks highlight a number of pressing problems in Pakistan, and it is crucial that the government take prompt action to resolve them. The nation’s government must guarantee the safety and security of its citizens and stop terrorism from occurring. The government must also work to ensure that women and children can live in a safe environment while also making sure that the problem of missing people is handled in a transparent and accountable manner.
