JAFFARABAD: At least 16 persons were injured in an explosion at a thoroughfare of Jaffarabad, ARY News reported on Sunday.



Those injured in the blast at Sohbatpur Chowk in Jaffarabad, were shifted to district headquarters hospital Dera Allahyar for medical attendance, police said.


According to police it was a hand grenade attack. “Police further investigating into the incident,” an official said.


“Sixteen persons injured in the blast, were brought to the hospital,” the DHQ administration said in a statement.


Last Friday four people were martyred and eight others sustained injuries after a blast hit close associates of BAP leader and Senator Sarfraz Bugti in Sui area of Balochistan.


The details were shared by Senator Sarfraz Bugti from his Twitter handle, who said that four people were martyred while eight others were injured in an attack in Mat area of Sui.


“Baloch Republican Army terrorists were behind this attack,” he claimed and asked as to how long the state will continue to tolerate such attacks on innocent people.

Call For PUBG Ban After Pak Teenager Shoots Dead 4 Of Family

Lahore:

Pakistani police called Monday for the wildly popular PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) game to be banned after a teenager confessed to killing four members of his family in a rage after bingeing for days playing online.

Police said Ali Zain shot dead his mother, two sisters and a brother on January 18, and claimed under questioning at the weekend that the game had driven him to violence.

"This is not the first incident of its nature," police investigator Imran Kishwar told reporters in the eastern city of Lahore, adding "so we have decided to recommend a ban".

PUBG is an online multiplayer "battle royale" game in which the winner is the last survivor.

Kishwar said Ali, 18, lived in complete isolation in his room and was addicted to the game.

Dawn newspaper quoted a Lahore police officer as saying Ali "fired at his family thinking that they will also come back to life, as happened in the game".


Often likened to the blockbuster book and film series "The Hunger Games", PUBG has become one of the world's most popular mobile games.

Telecoms authorities in Pakistan have previously temporarily blocked access to the game after complaints about its violent content.

Firing From Afghanistan Kills 5 Pakistan Troops

At least five Pakistan soldiers were killed by firing from neighboring Afghanistan, Islamabad said Sunday, in an attack claimed by the Pakistani Taliban.

After seizing power in August, Afghanistan’s Taliban pledged terror groups would not be allowed to operate from the country, but Pakistan militant groups have long taken sanctuary across the porous border.

They include the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which on Sunday claimed responsibility for the attack in the Kurram district of rugged Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

The TTP has been emboldened by the return to power of the Taliban in Afghanistan and has stepped up attacks since a month-long truce with the Pakistan government ended last year.

The Taliban are separate groups in both countries, but share a common ideology and draw from people who live on either side of the border.

The TTP said it killed six Pakistani troops in Saturday night’s attack, but the Pakistan military’s public relations wing (ISPR) said five Frontier Corps members had died.

I don't understand how can PUBG be blamed for killing someone. The kid most likely had access to an assault rifle that was not stored responsibly by the elders in his house.

Pakistani exiles seeking refuge in the UK are being advised by counter-terrorism police to keep a low profile following warnings that their lives may be at risk after criticising Pakistan’s powerful military.

Counter Terrorism Policing, a collaboration of UK police forces and the security services, has told possible targets that they need to inform police if they intend to travel within the UK.

Khan, who has filed court petitions involving Pakistan’s military, said: “In the UK, a severe threat exists. London, Birmingham and cities like Sheffield with big Asian communities and where they [the Pakistani authorities] have people on their payroll. I was asked not to move around, not to leave the city and provide the police details of my contacts.”



One British-based dissident said she had received information that hitmen linked to Pakistani drug gangs would be contracted to target her.

The heightened alert follows a recent trial in which a London-based hitman was found guilty of conspiring to murder a Pakistani dissident.

The trial heard how Muhammad Gohir Khan was offered £100,000 to kill a dissident blogger and fierce critic of the Pakistani intelligence services, Ahmad Waqass Goraya, in the Netherlands last year.

However, the mysterious middleman behind the plot – known as “Muzzamil” – remains at large, with the Metropolitan police yesterday confirming they are still attempting to establish his identity and whereabouts. The Met would not comment on whether it is liaising with the Pakistani authorities to locate him.

Gents,

Just a thought here; Given that almost all Indo-Pakistani threads end up going in the same direction, Can we merge them all (Except the Idiotic Musings) into a single one?
Sirji all of them are somewhat different.
Idiotic musings is porkis brainfarting
One thread is about LOC and updates regarding that area
One is about their sinking economy
One is about Balochistan and updates
This one is about attacks and other retarded things happening in that country

Why are student unions still illegal in Pakistan?

Pakistan’s experience with student unions has been less than ideal, mainly due to political expediency and narrow political objectives which reached a pinnacle during Ziaul Haq’s dictatorship and led to unions being outlawed in 1984.

Though political parties had their respective student bodies, a few independent and progressive unions also emerged and played a very crucial role in student politics back in that era. Since then, despite repeated promises, unions remain illegal in Pakistan, thus depriving a large population of their basic constitutional right of assembly under Article 16 of the constitution of Pakistan.

Student unions are not just vital for the promotion of democratic culture but are also the need of the hour. The process of legalising student unions will not be free of its own challenges, but the state must create the necessary conditions for their rehabilitation.

Before Zia banned student unions, their role in socio-political development was very effective. They played a big role in promoting students’ academic interest during the pre-1984 era. Students who could not afford their education expenses were provided financial support by the unions. A number of unions, particularly those not aligned to political parties, had dedicated leaders committed to the general welfare of students. Their support also extended help to new entrants through academic counseling, and union leaders kept a helpful check on facilities available on the university premises. A system of keeping a check in public-sector universities is either non-existent or ineffective at best, and student unions played a very effective role in holding the universities’ administration accountable.

The role of unions has been criticised for being too intrusive in the past, and some claim that their overreach often rendered the university administration inefficient. Similarly, a few unions resorted to violence on some occasions. The Islami Jamiat Talaba (IJT), the student wing of the Jamaat-e-Islami, is particularly notorious for promoting violence on campus. Shah Meer Baloch and Zafar Musyani in their article for ‘The Diplomat’, titled ‘Pakistan’s Dark History of Student Extremists’, have noted: “Violence, intolerance, and extremism at university campuses are not a new phenomenon in Pakistan. This trend has a history of decades, but it has become unbearable now.” So, while one cannot outright deny incidents of violence on university campuses in the past, making that a reason to completely ban student unions tells one more about those in power than the actual problem at hand.

Student unions can also play a very important role in the promotion of cultural events, and highlighting Pakistan’s linguistic and cultural diversity. Such events will not only promote regional languages and cultures but also create a strong sense of community among union members. This way, students belonging to different ethnic and linguistic groups can also get the opportunity to interact with each other at different forums.

Noting such an example of cultural diversity on campus, an article – ‘QAU huts: where Pakistan’s cultural diversity blends in’ – published in ‘The Nation’ in 2018 mentions how in Quaid-e-Azam University “Punjab Hut serves its special ‘Malai jam’ with traditional paratha in breakfast…Hikmat Hut serves lobia karahi… Bistro Cafe boasts a traditional Pashtun-style interior.” Apart from eateries, unions can provide a more formal platform for interaction and mingling of students from different ethnic groups.

Finally, the historical role of student unions in politics also deserves examination. During the freedom movement of Pakistan, students were at the forefront and made countless sacrifices for the attainment of a separate homeland. Students of Aligarh Muslim University, Islamia College Peshawar, and Islamia College Lahore were particularly instrumental in spreading the message of the Muslim League to far-off places. As the means of communications were neither as effective nor as accessible as today, students played a vital role in spreading the message of peace among the people. In a nutshell, students were the vanguard of the Muslim League’s campaign for a separate state.

During the years after Independence, these unions not only participated in the political life of the state but enriched the ideological horizons of the people. The National Students Federation (NSF), Progressive Students Alliance (PSA), and United Students Movement (USM) were some of the leftist and progressive bodies which struggled for the enshrinement of a progressive and democratic state.

During different eras, these organisations rose up against dictators and tried to restore the democratic order in Pakistan. Nadeem Farooq Paracha, in his paper ‘Student politics in Pakistan: A celebration, lament & history’ has noted Ayub’s crackdown on NSF in the following words: “In 1958, NSF was banned when Field Marshal Ayub Khan imposed the country’s first martial law. Student politics and unions along with political parties were banned and a fresh crackdown on student radicals launched. The martial law was imposed on the pretext of ‘political chaos’ triggered by years of Machiavellian power games between the politicians and bureaucrats, and the rising levels of corruption in the society.”

Thus, it is evident that, more than violence, it was political expediency that led to the ban of the NSF in the Ayub era. Students’ roles did not diminish and unions were later allowed, subject to strict conditionalities. In 1974, the Student Union Ordinance was passed to allow political activity on campuses. However, General Zia finally imposed a complete ban on student bodies.

Student unions were banned to fulfil expedient political objectives, their contribution to providing academic support for students, promotion of a variety of languages and culture, and their role in promoting progressive politics cannot be trivialised. Besides, they can play a very effective role in supporting the academia, promoting local cultures and languages, and bringing mass political awareness which is regarded as a prerequisite for a functioning democracy.

We should also consider banning student unions and student politics for good. There can always be debates and discussion sessions, but student politics and student unions result in Kanhaiya Kumars. We don't want that.

Though Pakistanis did it for a different reason, that front is sealed for them.
