WITNESS: the pain of divided families

This summer, I saw a story unfold before my eyes that would be worthy of a Bollywood movie - you know the kind that show the pain and suffering of families split across borders.
I was on holiday, travelling from Kutan to Shardah in Azad Jammu & Kashmir with some family members. We stopped in Keran Resthouse for tea. It was one of those spots where India and Pakistan are separated by merely a river. I was really enjoying standing on the riverbank, taking photos and chitchatting with my cousins. We strolled up the riverbank, to a spot where the river curved slightly.
There, we saw three men sitting on a rock and looking at the houses at the riverbank across the river. A few minutes later, we saw some people on the Indian side, waving their hands. We assumed this was just a friendly gesture and did the same. We were actually excited to be waving to people from our neighbouring country. But this turned out to me more than just a friendly exchange between neighbours.
A man standing nearby told us that the three men sitting on the Pakistani side were actually relatives of the people waving from the other side. Amazed to hear this, I talked to one of the men on the rock. He told me that his family had migrated to the Pakistani side after the riots and civil war in Indian administered Kashmir at the end of the 1980s.
His name was Bakhtiyar Khan, and he lived at Muhajir Camp, Karka, in Pattika, Muzaffarabad. He and his family had travelled by road for about five hours just to sit at the riverbank and be able to see their family - their sisters and cousins.
Just two days ago, an aunt had died on the other side and they wanted to pray for her with their family. Before departing from Muzaffarabad, they had called their family on the Indian side, and told them they would be coming to Keran. Soon after they arrived, their family saw them from the house across the river, and came to the riverbank.
Imagine the situation - a family praying for a lost loved one, but separated from the rest of their clan by about a hundred meters of fast-flowing water crashing and foaming over rocks, so noisy that no human voice can reach the other side, making communication impossible. I had tears in my eyes, seeing them sitting on that rock for two hours and just staring at each other, sisters and brothers unable to meet or speak to each other.
Had there been a way for these two broken parts of a family to meet up on the border or a bridge - even under military supervision - their lives would be much more peaceful, and they would have been spared much pain and anguish.
Just six kilometres away there is a bridge where residents of both sides of Kashmir are allowed to meet under military supervision but this facility is only for those who migrated in and around 1948.
For those who migrated later, there are no options. The migrants of 1980s and 1990s have been suffering for more than 20 years and will continue to suffer. The Pakistani and Indian governments have fought or maintained hostile relations for over 60 years and thousands of people have paid the price. Some are still paying it.
I could have dramatised this story, but it is as true and important as it is in simple words. I didn't write it to make readers melancholic, but to be supportive of divided families, and to urge those with the power and capability to please do something for them, if not as Pakistanis or Indians then as being human beings

Afghan Taliban free four Turkish engineers

GHAZNI: Four Turkish engineers kidnapped by Afghanistan's Taliban more than eight months ago were freed overnight after intervention by tribal elders.

The men, taken captive in December in eastern Paktia province, were handed to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in the neighbouring province of Ghazni, an AFP reporter in the area said.

"We were kidnapped by the Taliban eight-and-a-half months ago. We're released on the occasion of Eid by Ameer-ul Momineen Mullah Mohammad Omar," one of the captives told AFP, referring to the Taliban leader.

The Turk, who gave his name only as Imam, said no ransom was paid and "we were not tortured" while in captivity, before being rushed to Ghazni city.

Authorities refused to give details but Haji Zahir, a Ghazni province tribal elder who facilitated the release, told AFP that the Taliban freed the four "only on the occasion of Eid."

Eid al-Fitr is a major Muslim festival which marks the end of the fasting month of Ramadan. The release of prisoners at this time is an Afghan tradition.

"Yes, we freed the four Turkish engineers on the occasion of Eid," Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahed told AFP.

Turkey has hundreds of troops operating under the US-led NATO force in Afghanistan, in a deadly decade-long conflict.

Kidnapping of foreign nationals is part of the Taliban insurgency. The rebels often seek the release of their jailed comrades from Afghan prisons before freeing hostages.

Most the hostages are, however, released only after a ransom is paid.

Two French reporters were abducted by Taliban in Kapisa province, north of Kabul, in December 2009 and freed in July. One of the two, Herve Ghesquiere, recently told the BBC that he suspected a ransom was paid for his freedom.

The Taliban said the pair were freed after their comrades were released from jail, a claim dismissed by Afghan authorities.

Two German nationals are also believed to have been kidnapped by the Taliban after they went missing while climbing Hindu Kush mountains, north of Kabul, earlier this month. 

Appeal on behalf of the daughters of India, Pakistan

Pakistanis have always faced problems obtaining visas to India - and vice versa. I have family on both sides of the border who have faced these problems. My mother's sister moved to Pakistan as a teenager and could never visit India again. My father's sister, the only one of her siblings who lived in India, last visited Pakistan in 1993 for a family wedding. She passed away in 2005 without ever being able to return.
I remember how crazy it was when I first applied for an Indian visa, in 1988. The consulate was still operative in Karachi then, and I had to get in line at 5.30 a.m. I remember seeing a lot of elderly people in tears because their visas were denied.
Things haven't changed much. In fact, the visa process has become more difficult. Aman ki Asha is doing a great job of raising people's awareness by highlighting these issues and one hopes the situation will improve.
What really needs to be highlighted is the problems of people from either country who have moved across the border, leaving family behind, particularly the elderly, and women of Pakistani origin married to Indians, or of Indian origin married to Pakistanis.
Rubina, a Pakistani supporter of Aman ki Asha, wrote to me to share the story of her mother. Mehrunissa was the only member of her family who moved to Pakistan after 1947 along with her husband and his family.
After her husband passed away and her only daughter (Rubina) got married and moved abroad, Mehrunissa wanted to visit her siblings in India. She applied for a visa in 2000, travelled to Islamabad, stayed in a hotel, got in a long line for three days before she was called into the Embassy - where she was denied the visa.
Mehrunissa repeated this process every year and was denied each time. In 2004 she was very sick when she applied. Told to come to the Embassy in person, she appealed for a special consideration. She was still waiting for a reply when she passed away in August 2004, without being able to see her siblings one last time.
"My khala (mother's sister) in India also tried to come and meet her and she also couldn't get a visa to Pakistan," writes Rubina. She appeals to the authorities on both sides of the border to be "lenient towards sick and elderly... We need to make it easier for them to be able to visit their loved ones."
As Krish, an Indian supporter of Aman ki Asha, wrote, these elders "have already witnessed a lot of bad things, losing many of their loved ones. And now, the visa denials."
Given that arranged marriages are the norm in this region, why should young people be penalised for conforming to their families' wishes? If people want to marry across the border to keep up the family or friendly ties why are they being discouraged from doing so? Why are visas denied to daughters of India who are married to Pakistanis - and vice versa?
People often give up their original citizenships when they get married and move to a foreign country. However, this poses no problem elsewhere in the world. They are still able to visit their original countries without a problem. Getting married to a foreign national should not mean cutting off ties to your homeland.
But for girls giving up their Indian nationality and becoming Pakistani citizens, and those giving up their Pakistani nationality to become Indian citizens, that's exactly what it ends up meaning. Visas are denied or the process made so complicated as to put them off trying.
Fatima from Mumbai was my neighbour when she first came to live in Karachi after getting married to a Pakistani in 1990. We lost touch after I left Pakistan in 1996, but after reading my article on visa issues ("Let's get to know each other, work together", Aman ki Asha, June 22, 2011), she contacted me, and shared her experiences.
Her sister Aisha is also married to a Pakistani. Both sisters have found it almost impossible to visit India since getting married. Aisha was unable to get a visa for India to be with the family when their father passed away. Fatima says that when Aisha applied for a visa in 2003 at the Indian Embassy in Islamabad after their father's death, the visa officer told her: "Why are you crying if your father has died, did you not know he would die when you married a Pakistani?" She was denied a visa and returned home in tears.
Aisha finally obtained a visa in 2009, after their mother also passed away. The process involved submitting the death certificate, bills and other documents to prove her identity. Aisha's children also applied, but were denied the visa.
If the girl is married to a government officer, as Fatima is, she dares not even apply for a visa to India for fear that her husband will be put on a surveillance list for having ties to a 'hostile' neighbour. After getting married, she met her father only once when he visited Pakistan in 1995. The last she saw her mother was in 2004 when she visited Pakistan. She feels that she might never have a chance to visit India. It is highly likely that her children who haven't visited India yet might never have the chance to visit their mother's homeland.
It is not that people of the two countries do not want peace or that they reject friends who move to a different country after getting married. Fatima still keeps in touch with her friends in India via email and facebook. Their attitude towards her has not changed, she asserts.
I cannot understand how these girls who grew up in India and love their homeland become a security threat if they are married to Pakistanis? They miss their family, the streets they grew up in, the colourful festivals they attended, and the laughter and the tears they shared with their friends. Why do they have to be exiled from their homeland? Why do their children not get a chance to get to know their mothers' birthplace and share their love for their homeland? Why should grandparents not be allowed to enjoy their grandchildren? Why should cross-border children not get a chance to experience the love and affection of their grandparents?
Fatima is pessimistic. Things won't change, she feels, until families of the concerned authorities "don't share the pain that we are going through, ...the pain of marrying their daughters (across the border) and the feeling of uncertainty about when they will next have an opportunity to meet their daughter or whether they will die like my parents did, without ever having the chance to meet again".
"Every daughter of India in Pakistan and every Pakistani daughter in India should get to visit their parents on either side of the border," believes Fatima - and she is right. She hopes fervently that things will change in her lifetime and that she does not have to "wilt away waiting for a solution," as she puts it.
This is a heartfelt appeal to the governments of both countries: Please give these daughters of both nations the right to visit and meet their loved ones

Malik seeks judicial commission on Mirza

 LAHORE: Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani Sunday said that Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik has written him to set up a judicial commission to look into former senior Sindh minister Dr Zulfikar Mirza’s volley of blatant accusations hurled at him (Malik) and others.

He said there is no civil award that could match his courage and sacrifice, adding a liver transplant institute would be opened after his (Arsalan’s) name in Shaikh Zaid Hospital.

Replying to a question, the prime minister said Pakistani People’s Party has not always been in power, it has sit on the opposition benches as well, adding it will continue serving people the way it has so far.

To another question, he said Dr Zulfikar Mirza’s matter is sub judice and if someone has got even an ounce of hard evidence, then he/she must come forward.

Moreover he told the press that Rahman Malik has formally wrote him to institute a judicial commission to dig into Mirza’s blame binge.

Karachi unrest may hit revenue collection: FBR

ISLAMABAD: Federal Bureau of Revenue (FBR) has expressed fear that the disturbed law and order situation in Karachi may adversely affect the process of revenue collection, Sunday.

However, they added, that the final figures in this regard were yet to be compiled.

'India was never serious about Headley extradition'

NEW DELHI: In December 2009, national security adviser M K Narayanan had told then US ambassador to India Timothy Roemer that New Delhi's demand for extraditing Pakistani-American terrorist David Coleman Headley was mere posturing to mislead the Indian public, and the government was not seeking his extradition "at this time". 

A secret cable - which is part of the latest tranche of diplomatic correspondence released by the whistleblowing website WikiLeaks - sent a day after Narayanan's telephonic conversation with Roemer on December 16, 2009 said the Indian government would be "in the hot seat if it were seen as relinquishing extradition" of the Lashkar-e-Taiba operative.

Narayanan said that it was "difficult not to be seen making the effort". He was responding to a demand by Roemer that India should refrain from requesting Headley's extradition.

Roemer explained that US hopes to secure crucial information from Headley, but the latter may clam up because of India's insistence that he be extradited to them. "He (Roemer) explained that the threat of extradition to India could cause Headley's cooperation to dry up, but that allowing the US judicial process to unfold or securing a plea agreement that both reflects his overall culpability and ensures his continued cooperation would maximize our ability to obtain further information from Headley," the cable said.

Headley had pleaded guilty to all charges in a Chicago court last year, and is now awaiting sentence.The extradition treaty's prohibition on an individual being extradited to face trial for the same conduct or offence might be an obstacle, the envoy had told Narayanan. "If Headley were convicted, an extradition request by India would not be considered until his sentence in the United States was fully served, which could be decades, if ever," he had said.

Roemer also complained about the leakage of information on the Headley case provided by the US authorities. "He stressed that the Indian government's discretion in protecting this sensitive information was of critical importance, calling attention to recent media speculation containing details of the FBI briefing sourced to unnamed Indian government officials, which could compromise our ability to obtain further cooperation and information from Headley," the cable added.

Narayanan had dismissed media reports as "preposterous". 

Arrested targeted killers to be brought before media: Malik

 KARACHI: Interior Minister Abdur Rehman Malik on Sunday said that the targeted killers arrested so far would soon be presented before media, 

Talking to media after attending various meetings at State Guest House, Rehman Malik said from now onwards the concerned SHO would also be made part of an FIR in case of an incident of target killing or extortion money collection.

He said land mafia was illegally occupying 14000 acres land in the metropolis and that action would be taken against this mafia.

The Interior Minister said most of his time would be devoted to Karachi no matter he was present here or in Islamabad.

To a question regarding Muttahida Qaumi Movement's return to the government, he said MQM was still with the government on documents as the resignations were yet to be accepted.

Sources add that ATMs can stock up to Rs2 million at a time with certain ATMs capable of stocking Rs3 million.

Germany's runaway cow finally caught

 BERLIN: German animal rights activists captured a runaway dairy cow named Yvonne on Friday, three months after her escape from the farm where she was to be slaughtered captured nationwide attention.

The bovine had become a media star, with helicopters and infrared used in a search across the southern state of Bavaria after she bolted in front of a police car.

Authorities from Muehldorf, the town near the farm where she broke through an electric fence, had deemed Yvonne a security risk after her encounter with the squad car and had given hunters permission to gun her down.

Activists from the Gut Aiderbichl animal sanctuary had tried to lure Yvonne from a forest where she was holed up with a variety of enticements -- including one of her calves at one point and a breeding bull named Ernst.

Capturing the cow was not easy -- she bucked in the air and required a double dose of tranquilisers when cornered in a field on Friday by a team accompanied by a vet with a blowgun. Now she is in a pen at Gut Aiderbichl.

"In the future she will be out in the fields with the other cows," said farm employee Hans Wintersteller.

9/11 firefighters more likely to get cancer: study

 LONDON: Firefighters exposed to the World Trade Center attacks are more likely to get cancer, while 9/11 rescue workers still suffer high illness rates generally, according to studies published Friday.

In a 10th anniversary edition of medical journal The Lancet, scientists said however that death rates among emergency staff and civilians who survived the disaster were lower than those of the wider New York City population.

"The events of that day changed the historical trajectory of America and the world. They have had -- and continue to have -- profound consequences for health," the Lancet journal said in an editorial.

One study showed that New York City firefighters who rushed to the doomed Twin Towers a decade ago are 19 percent more likely to have cancer than their non-exposed colleagues and a comparable section of the city's population.

There were 263 cancer cases in the exposed firefighters compared with 238 expected from general population data, while from the non-exposed group there were only 135 compared with 161 expected from the general population.

The study, led by David Prezant, chief medical officer of the Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY), and colleagues, looked at 9,853 male firefighters with health records dating back to well before 9/11.

Another study in the Lancet showed a high burden of both physical and mental illness in the estimated 50,000 rescue and recovery workers involved in the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York by al Qaeda.

Data gathered from more than 27,000 of those workers, who enrolled in a federally funded monitoring programme, showed that 28 percent had developed asthma, 42 percent sinusitis, and 39 percent gastrooesophageal reflux disease.

Twenty-eight percent had depression, 32 percent had post traumatic stress disorder and 21 percent had panic disorder, said the study by Juan Wisnivesky, of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York state.

"Our findings show a substantial burden of persistent physical and mental disorders in rescue and recovery workers who rushed to the site of the WTC and laboured there for weeks and months 10 years ago," the study said.

But World Trade Center-exposed rescue workers and civilians have had lower death rates than New York City general population, a third study by researchers at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

They said the fact that most of those exposed were employed and that they had volunteered for the study -- both employed people and study volunteers are largely healthier than the overall population -- could account for the result.

Docs show CIA-Libyan-spies close ties

WASHINGTON: Documents found in Tripoli detail close ties between the CIA and Libya's intelligence service and suggest the United States sent terrorism suspects for questioning in Libya despite that country's reputation for torture, the New York Times reported on Saturday.

The Times reported that the files cover the time from 2002 to 2007, when Moussa Koussa headed Libya's External Security Organization. Koussa most recently had been Libya's foreign minister but defected from now-fugitive leader Muammar Gaddafi's government and flew to Britain on March 30 amid this year's rebel uprising.

The newspaper reported that the documents -- including some English-language files concerning the CIA and Britain's MI-6 intelligence agency -- were found on Friday at the abandoned office of Libya's former spy chief by journalists and the group Human Rights Watch.

The Times said it was impossible to verify the authenticity of the documents but that their content appears to be consistent with facts known about the U.S. transfer of terrorism suspects abroad for interrogation -- a practice known as rendition -- and other known CIA practices. Renditions occurred under former President George W. Bush's administration.
It has been known that Western intelligence services began cooperating with Libya after Gaddafi abandoned his program to build unconventional weapons in 2004. But the files show cooperation with the CIA and MI-6 was more extensive than previously understood, the Times reported.

One document appears to be a proposed speech written by the Americans for Gaddafi about renouncing unconventional weapons. Other files show that MI-6 was willing to trace telephone numbers for the Libyans.

A series of communications about renditions is dated after Libya's 2004 renouncement of its weapons program. The files mention having a friendly country arrest a terrorism suspect, and then suggest aircraft would be sent to retrieve the suspect and bring him to Libya for questioning, the Times reported.

One document detailed a list of 89 questions for the Libyans to ask a terrorism suspect, the Times said.

Some documents told the Libyans to respect detainees' human rights but the Americans still turned over the suspects to a Libyan intelligence service with a long-established history of brutality, the Times said.

"The rendition program was all about handing over these significant figures related to al Qaeda so they could torture them and get the information they wanted," Peter Bouckaert of Human Rights Watch, who studied the documents in the intelligence headquarters in downtown Tripoli, told the Times.

CIA spokeswoman Jennifer Youngblood is quoted by the Times as declining to comment specifically on the documents but saying, "It can't come as a surprise that the Central Intelligence Agency works with foreign governments to help protect our country from terrorism and other deadly threats."

The British Foreign Office told the Times: "It is the longstanding policy of the government not to comment on intelligence matters."

Kayani could’ve coup-ed in long march: WikiLeaks

KARACHI: General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani could have overthrown the government if he had wanted to, but he had no such plans, WikiLeaks revealed.

WikiLeaks leaking another US diplomatic wire disclosed a conversation between former US ambassador to Pakistan, Anne Patterson, and Chief of the Army Staff, Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, in which the latter expressed unhappiness over a clause in Kerry-Luger-Berman Bill which was about Pakistan Army's autonomy. Gen Kayani according to the leak told the then US ambassador that he could have overthrown the government during the long march --staged for the restoration of judiciary in March 2009-- if he had wanted to, but no such thing was on his mind.

Moreover the same leaked cable also revealed that Kayani had confessed to the huge pressure he was under regarding what to say about the Kerry-Luger-Burman Bill as the corps commanders meeting was around the corner and he had to give them some satisfactory answers. He even had wanted to release a statement about the same, but couldn’t come with anything, the leak added.

Which is true, what is a lie?

                                                       President Asif Ali Zardari, Zulfiqar Mirza, the head cave man put a lie born of his own government as Interior Minister Rehman Malik has said as much in Karachi, killing one person is responsible and the kazmh Malik's. They crowded press conference at Karachi Press Club and also hauled MQM Altaf Hussain in London and the nation, citing an interview that the U.S. wants Pakistan to block Nations and is involved with the project.
