Judge who convicted Taseer's assassin seeks refuge in S Arabia

LAHORE: The Pakistani judge who gave the death sentence to Governor Salmaan Taseer's self-confessed assassin has sought refuge in Saudi Arabia with his family after receiving death threats from religious extremists.

Anti-terrorism court Judge Pervez Ali Shah, who awarded the death sentence to Malik Mumtaz Hussain Qadri on October 1, had gone on leave after a group of lawyers ransacked his courtroom and several hardline religious groups offered a bounty to anyone who killed him.

"The death threats have forced Shah to leave Pakistan along with his family for Saudi Arabia," Saiful Malook, who served as special prosecutor during Qadri's trial, said.

Sensing the gravity of the situation, the government had arranged for lodging Shah and his family in Saudi Arabia, Malook said.

"Though security was provided to the judge and his family, the government, acting on reports from intelligence agencies, opted to send him abroad," he said.

There were several reports that extremist elements in religious parties had offered a bounty for anyone who killed the judge.

"Yes, there were such reports," Malook said. Malook further said he too had been receiving threats and urged the government to provide him foolproof security.

"The government has deployed only two policemen for my security, which by all means is not adequate," he said.

In his verdict against Qadri, Shah had said: "No one can be given the license to kill anyone in any condition, therefore, the killer cannot be pardoned as he has committed a heinous crime."

QUETTA: Provincial Minister for Minority Jay Parkash Lal has expressed his strong resentment over rampant increase in kidnapping of Hindus in Balochistan.

He said this during the Balochistan Assembly proceeding on Tuesday. He took the floor on a point of order and said a Hindu trader had been kidnapped from Quetta whose whereabouts are not known.“Jawar Lal a trader of Wadh area in Khuzdar was kidnapped about 15 months ago and still had not been recovered,” he informed the House.

Parkash Lal said that minorities have been subjected to kidnapping for ransom for the past several years but no one is paying heed to this serious issue.“We still remember the hospitalities of Sardar and Nawabs that how they welcomed us and they treated us,” he recalled. “But now the Hindus are most vulnerable to kidnapping for ransom. The law makers usually raise their voice for the Hindu community but we do not know why such incidents are not being controlled.”

Parkash Lal said Kalat and Nasirabad Division had become black spots where incidents of kidnapping for ransom are increasing with each passing days.He said it was the responsibility of the civil administration and law enforcing agencies to break up the chain of kidnappers and criminals by bringing them to justice. “I appeal that please show sincerity while addressing the plight of Hindu people.”
However, while the Minister for Minority was sharing the plight of the Hindu community, merely 11 out of 65 lawmakers were in attendance which is not requisite to run the business of the House on moral ground.

True, but slowly the intolerance is extending ever deeper into society. Not good.
 
Even the great Abdus Salam was hounded out because of these very same reasons ; Dunno when someone will take a stand against these extremists.
 
He is definitely being taunted by the ST gangs. This green cult tents to be violent people..shame on the Pakistani government which can protect the very elements of law enforcement.
