Pak's Punjab govt allocates over Rs 61 mn for JuD

[Zarvan]

Lahore: The government of Pakistan's Punjab province has allocated millions of rupees in its budget for fiscal 2013-14 for the largest centre of the Jamaat-ud-Dawah, considered a front for the banned Lashkar-e-Toiba.

Besides a grant-in-aid of over Rs 61 million for the JuD centre known as 'Markaz-e-Taiba', the provincial government has allocated Rs 350 million for setting up a "Knowledge Park" at the centre and other development initiatives.

Details of the allocations were presented in budget documents tabled in the Punjab Assembly yesterday by the PML-N government led by Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif.



One document stated: "Grant-in-aid to chief administrator Muridkey Markaz (is) Rs 61.35 million." The JuD's centre is located at Muridkay on the outskirts of Lahore. In his budget speech in the assembly, Finance Minister Mujtaba Shujaur Rehman announced that the provincial government "intends to establish a Knowledge Park in Muridkey".

He said the government had allocated Rs 350 million for the park and several other initiatives in Punjab.

Shortly after the UN Security Council designated the JuD, a front for the LeT in the wake of the 2008 Mumbai attacks, the Punjab government took over the centre in Muridkey. At that time too, Punjab was ruled by the PML-N. Since then, the government has allocated money in its annual budget for the administration of the centre in Muridkey.

In 2009-10, the government provided more than Rs 82 million for the administration of JuD facilities. In fiscal 2010-11, Chief Minister Sharif, using his discretionary powers, allocated two separate grants for JuD facilities. The government granted Rs 79.77 million for six organisations at Markaz-e-Taiba and a special grant-in-aid of Rs 3 million for the JuD’s Al-Dawa School System in several districts of Punjab.

Officials have said in the past that the allocations were needed to continue "welfare services" provided by the JuD’s schools, dispensaries and hospitals across the province of 90 million.

In the past, the Punjab government defended its decision of allocating money to the JuD by saying the grants had been awarded for the administrator of the Markaz-e-Toiba.

There is no formal ban on the JuD and its chief, Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, lives freely in Lahore despite a 10-million dollar bounty offered for him by the US.

So what's the big deal? As long as the funds are put to good public use and development and not diverted for terrorist activities of the LeT. But of course, the moot point is whether there is going to be any oversight by the government on how the money is being spent.

Btw Markaz-e-Taiba was taken over by Punjab Government in 2009 as it acted against the group ans seized control of its assets.

Govt takes over Daawa Muridke HQ
RE - On the directions of the centre, the Punjab government on Sunday has taken control of the main operational facility, the educational institutions and hospitals of the Jama'at-ud-Daawa, mainly located at its Markaz-e-Taiba in Muridke, after it had posted a District Management Group officer as an administrator to run the affairs of the Daawa's welfare wing. Grade-19 DMG officer Khaqan Babar, assisted by four other government officials, has taken charge of the Daawa's provincial welfare wing comprising 10 educational institutions, two hospitals and 19 dispensaries, which are located in Lahore, Faisalabad. Gujranwala, Multan, Sheikhupura and Sialkot. With this, the newly-posted government administrator took over the 75-acre compound, and police post has been set-up as well where the number of police personnel had been increased as well. For other organisations, administrators have been posted in their respective areas. According to an official, all assets and properties of the Daawa in the province are now under the government's control. Most of the assets, offices and operations of the group are in the Punjab. The administrator and other officials will try to gauge and map out the extent of the Daawa's operations - especially its bank accounts, which Pakistan had ordered frozen already. Secretary Home Nadeem Hassan Asif said the posting of the administrator was to ensure that nothing extra was taught or propagated, which could harm the national interest. "The Daawa can continue its welfare activities as these are people-oriented and for the public at large, and can run its institutions by teaching the syllabi approved by the provincial educational authorities," he said maintaining that the administrators would keep on looking after the Daawa's affairs till the government was satisfied and certain that nothing beyond the prescribed role would be done. With this, 10 educational institutions and two hospitals located at different districts of the province have been put under the administrative control of the provincial government. No official documents have been given to the Daawa's office bearers, while no resistance was offered at the Markaz-e-Taiba Muridke situated at 25 kilometres from the provincial capital, and better known to the world as the headquarter of much-praised and equally stigmatised Daawa. Commissioner Lahore Division Khusro Pervaiz Khan, accompanied by Deputy Inspector General Sheikhupura Range Ch Tanveer Ahmed, District Coordination Officer Sheikhupura Salman Ejaz and District Police Officer Sheikhupura Osama Mumtaz, with about two-dozen police vans, reached the Markaz at about 10 am on Sunday. Chief Coordinator of Daawa Hafiz Khalid Waleed told Daily The Nation that Khusro Pervaiz met Deputy Chief Daawa Hafiz Abdur Rehman Makki at the Markaz, and told him about the government orders of taking control of the institutions and hospital and setting up of a police post at the main entrance of the Markaz. "The visiting officers were taken around and shown three educational institutions and a hospital, located at the premises. No resistance was offered to the government officers, as we did not want to. However, we have the right to move the competent court against the curbs and efforts being made at curtailing one of the best known welfare institutions of the country, which has been applauded by the UNO even for its work after October 8,2005 earthquake," said Hafiz Khalid adding that the previous regime of General (r) Pervez Musharraf was a stooge of the US government, but the present incumbents had stooped to the lowest level by accepting the conditions of India, which at best had only been accusing Pakistan of allowing 'non-state elements' to use its land for terrorism. "Earlier, other provinces had already taken control of the Daawa institutions, after the Federal government had issued directions in this regard. In Sind, five schools, one hospital and 20 dispensaries and in NWFP two schools and 15 dispensaries were placed under the direct control of the respective provincial administrations. Moreover, the Balochistan government, besides taking control of one school and five dispensaries, has taken possession of relief goods worth millions of rupees meant for earthquake victims. When people protested against this, they were indicted in treason cases," said Hafiz Khalid. He also said 150 dispensaries in the Punjab had already been closed down, while 170 van ambulance service had been made inoperational. An official source asserted that the Punjab was the last province to take control of the Daawa welfare wing, as it was resisting the federal government's directions in this regard. Nadeem Hassan Asif out rightly rejected this by terming it baseless. "The Punjab was the first to ban Daawa publications, seal its offices and arrest its leaders," he added. According to another source, Khusro Pervaiz Khan went to residence of Chief Daawa Hafiz Muhammad Saeed at about 3 pm on Sunday, and stayed with him for an hour for a one-on-one meeting. He also reviewed the security arrangements made at Hafiz's residence. However, Khusro Pervaiz was not available for comments. Sundays' action is said to be part of the nationwide slamming of restrictions and taking control of the institutions run by the Daawa following the Mumbai incident of November 26, and subsequent ban imposed by the United Nations on December 11 last year. The same day Daawa chief Hafiz Saeed and his five leading companions were put under house arrest, while 124 others were arrested from across the country and put behind bars under the 16 MPO. Besides this, 15 others were brought under the 4th schedule of the Criminal Procedure Code thereby making them remain within the vicinity of their residences and report to the concerned police station in the mornings and evenings. Daawa's leaders were arrested initially for one month, but later on January 10, their detention period was extended by another sixty days.
