Re: **JP** Letter to Editor - Karachi Under Army

You are right and I agree.
 
However, did you notice my asking for force and FREE hand?  Read the last line please. Given a free hand means obviating all outer influences - political or judicial etc.
 
I know you will object to it, but that's the SUREST and the SHORTEST way unlike the previous experiences.

I am sorry but you have supported my argument indirectly by admitting that it is an unusual condition and needs to address differently

I would have  agreed with your proposal  but the past experience does not support this strategy

Just remove the political patronage offered to these criminals ,yes and that patronage is only given  on ethenic basis ,and then it would become a simple matter of law and order which our LEAs can handle easily

Under the same law that these terrorists are using their weapons to kill the innocent citizens.  This total lawlessness is to be tackled on the 'war' footing,  And in war it doesn't matter whether you kill the 'enemy' with your weapon or with the one captured from him.  The aim is to kill him, by whatever means and weapon.  The order to kill such 'defaulters' would be given before hand by the legal authority.  Hence, it would be just in order to kill such terrorists who do not surrender their weapons.

I most respectfully beg to ask by which "LAW"  point no 2 (killing by same weapon) could be implemented

If we would continue to look for such measures forget peace in Karachi or elsewhere with same situations

Dear Join Pakistan

 

LETTER TO EDITOR

August 20th, 2011

 

Karachiunder Army

 

A lot is being said and written for and against calling the army for restoring law and order in Karachi. I am for it.  To my mind de-weaponisation of Karachi is the only answer to stop this wanton killing.  No weapons no killing. There is such a huge number of weapons there that it will not be an easy task to get them all back. I would, therefore, suggest the following sequence of action for the army to collect the weapons:

 

  1. Impose curfew in the suspected/dangerous areas, completely sealing them off from the rest of the city by shooting at sight to restrict the movement and taking away/shifting of the weapons to other localities.  Strict vigilance be kept that no weapons are sneaked away to other localities during the 'relaxation' time of the curfew. 
  2. Allow three days for all to deposit the weapons in the nearest Police Station with proper record of the surrendered weapons maintained under the supervision of army officers. Police cannot be trusted with this responsibility for obvious reasons.  Extensive publicity by all media radio, TV, newspapers, posters and dropping of leaflets, loud speakers etc. be given that no harm will come to those who surrender the licensed or unlicensed  weapons but any one found with a weapon after three days will be killed with the same weapon.

 

Not all will deposit their weapons. I bet.

 

  1. After three days house to house search under strict curfew be carried out. There are bound to be a quite a few culprits hiding weapons. Take  three or four of them and shoot them with their own weapons within the seeing and hearing of others. Thereafter, publicise the shooting widely with all means of publicity. Human Rightists, please hold your horses.

 

  1. Give them another period of three 'grace' days to surrender their weapons once again, making it quite clear to them that this shall be the FINAL warning and ALL those failing to deposit the weapons hereafter SHALL meet the same fate. 

 

ALL weapons will be surrendered. Again I bet it

 

The entire Karachi will be clean of weapons in a matter of week or so. Now, great care must be taken that no new weapons find their way into Karachi again. There are only a few and known 'in roads' and 'passages' for the smuggling in of such weapons and the police and others know them. The respective Police in charge of the area must be MOST severely and mercilessly dealt with if any firing takes place in his area of responsibility.

 

Recall the army back to barracks IMMEDIATELY on completion of their task.

 

Give me the force and free hand, I volunteer to undertake this task.  And, if I fail, I should be guillotined in the city square.
