Pakistan Army has launched 'Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad' across the country.

According to Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), the operation aims at indiscriminately eliminating residual and latent threat of terrorism, consolidating gains of operations made thus far and further ensuring security of the borders.

Pakistan Air Force, Pakistan Navy, Civil Armed Forces and other security and Law Enforcing Agencies will continue to actively participate and intimately support the efforts to eliminate the menace of terrorism from the country.

The effort entails conduct of Broad Spectrum Security and Counter Terrorism operations by Rangers in Punjab, continuation of ongoing operations across the country and focus on more effective border security management.

Country wide de-weaponisation and explosive control are additional cardinals of the effort. Pursuance of National Action Plan will be the hallmark of this operation.

Excellent news. This seems to be the second (internal) leg of Op Zarb e Azb. And what a name! Radd ul Fasaad i.e. 'Rejection and elimination of Terrorism in all its forms'

Reminds me the verses of the Holy Quran which talks being killing the people who spread 'fasaad' on earth

May they all sent to God soon

Allah help us. (Amen)

He always has. That's why we are still around.

CAn I have a topo as "foreigner"? it's like a khawarji cleansing all across Pakistan? or?

We really need to get rid of fissad, My one humble opinion is the police needs to be fixed regardless of which ever operation is launched! The police as the first line of defence has been destroyed due to the failure and incompetence of the ruling parties and they have absolutely NO need to fix the police force.

If the army takes control of the police from recruitment to training breaking it away from all political affiliation then we will get somewhere otherwise army will have to keep doing ops. Its political connection with police hampering security the most and nothing else.

 

[Cool_Soldier]

It is need of time to root out these elements from our society.
Good luck!

 

[Flash_Ninja]

Lets hope the Army is up to the task of handling multiple operations across the country.

This means that police forces need to step up, and reforms need to be introduced to improve response times.

Here's an idea. Would the Pakistan police be better off being under the control of the MoD rather than ministry of interior? Just a thought. Might be a totally crazy idea but just trying to think laterally.

what happen to Zarb e Azb and National action Plan? I think Generals are more interested in creating their own lagacy...

Anyways may our security forces succeed in their efforts against terrorism..

The Rangers will 'assist' Punjab police and law enforcement agencies in their fight against terror for a period of 60 days, initial reports suggested.

Punjab had requested the federal government to deploy over 2,000 Rangers personnel in the province, who would be given policing powers to conduct intelligence-based operations (IBOs) against militants, wherever required and with full authority.

The province had been resisting such powers for the Rangers whenever the issue came up in the past. Officials told Dawn that the force is now being called in and given sweeping powers specifically for IBOs.

Rangers are expected to work in league with the provincial Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD). Regular police will be asked for support only if required, a government official had earlier told Dawn.

The paramilitary force is being given powers under Section 5 of the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA).

All terror-related cases will be registered at CTD police stations. Rangers will also be able to get cases registered under the law with legal cover for all other actions during and after operations.

Section 5(1) of the ATA states that any police officer, or member of the armed forces, or civil armed forces (Rangers) who is present or deployed in any area may, after giving sufficient warning, use the necessary force to prevent the commission of terrorist acts or scheduled offences.

In doing so he, in the case of an officer of the armed forces or civil armed forces, shall exercise all the powers of a police officer under the Code (Criminal Procedure Code 1898)”.

Section 5(2) of the law says that in particular and without prejudice to generality of the provisions of subsection, an officer of the police, armed forces and civil armed forces may, after giving prior warning use such force as may be deemed necessary or appropriate bearing in mind all the facts and circumstances of the situation, against any person who is committing a terrorist act or a scheduled offence.

It shall be lawful for any such officer or any superior officer to fire or order the firing upon any person or persons against whom he is authorised to use force. This they will do while arresting without warrant any person who has committed an act of terrorism or a scheduled offence or is suspected of any such act.

The officer also has powers for entering and searching, without warrant, any premises to make any arrest or to take possession of any property, firearm, weapon or article used, or likely to be used, for any offence of terrorism.

The decision to deploy Rangers in Punjab had been taken on Sunday at a meeting of the provincial apex committee presided over by Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif and attended, among others, by the national security adviser, Lahore Corps Commander Lt Gen Sadiq Ali, and Punjab Rangers Director General Maj Gen Azhar Naveed Hayat.

The decision came in the aftermath of a suicide attack at Charing Cross on Lahore's Mall Road on Feb 13, which claimed the lives of 14, including Deputy Inspector General Capt Mubin and Senior Superintendent of Police Zahid Nawaz Gondal

So, they don't want police involved, that's good news, but having 60 days limit is ridiculous since Terrorist and sympathizers can easily hide out for 60 days

No that is what needs to happen, That is what they did in Sri Lanka & Colombia. Made the police on par with military from recruitment to training and deployment. At present Balochistan Police is under Military and the success speaks volumes.
Police doesn't need to come under army but the umbilical cord connecting to politicians needs to be cut.

Well if there is a precedent for it in other countries we should try and do the same thing in Pakistan. Under civilian control the Police has been totally ineffective.

We are heading towards that direction at Pakistan speed which is slower than a tortoise, Police under politicians produced the result of that poor guy from Bahawalpur

No matter what the name, it should be ruthless, across the board, without exceptions and above all it must be ensured that those apprehended and proven guilty must be punished in reality and not that the punishments are awarded in court rooms for the sake of closure of the case whereas they are kept in jails for years without execution, enjoying meals at the cost of very same people whom they have killed (Pakistanis) and most of them keep on running their networks from jails, jail security also needs to be enhanced and new SOPs are needed to be devised and those (Jail staff) who become accomplices to these terrorists in jails should also be awarded punishments under Anti-Terrorism laws...
