QUETTA - The Supreme Court of Pakistan Monday once again expressed strong resentment over lack of progress in the recovery of missing persons and summoned the defence and interior secretaries besides the principal secretaries to the prime minister and Balochistan governor today (Tuesday).The officials are required to give explanation on the allegations levelled against the security forces and other government institutions in missing the persons cases.A three member bench - comprising Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, Justice Jawwad S Khawaja and Justice Khilji Arif Hussain - issued the orders, while hearing a petition on the law and order situation and human rights violations in Balochistan at the apex court’s Quetta Registry.The bench observed that everyone was blaming the security forces and spy agencies and there were evidences against them as well.The chief justice remarked that there had been no progress in the missing persons’ cases and situation was similar to the last hearing in Quetta. “The court will not further tolerate any drama on the part of government, as we are not here to watch drama.” he added. The defence and interior secretaries and the principal secretaries to the prime minister and the governor should be prepared for appearing before the court, Justice Iftikhar told Balochistan Advocate General (AG) Amanullah Kanrani.Kanrani informed the court that 16 missing persons were in official custody of federal security agencies, on which the judges asked him to share all the available information with court,  adding that the report submitted by the provincial government did not show any performance.The court was informed that Abdul Zakir, who went missing in December 2010 from Mastung, had been recovered, while two others missing from Marwar were also recovered.“As many as 25 people have so far been surfaced, but police have failed to establish that who kidnapped them and where they had been kept for so long,” the chief Justice said.The bench directed the police and Balochistan Levies to investigate the kidnapping and killing of Abdul Quddos, whose body was found near the Bus Stop in Khuzdar. Quddos went missing on July 21, last year.DSP Amir Dasti came up with a statement that most of the missing persons were in either Afghanistan taking training or hiding in the hills in Balochistan. “I raided a house of a lawyer whose son is missing. His mother told me that her son is in Afghanistan,” he said.Dasti was asked to show progress in the case of Shabbir Sumalani, a boy in his early teens. “Shabbir Sumalani is the younger brother of a Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) target killer. I have killed two target killers,” he told the court. He said police lack the weapons and equipment to deal the shooters. “My two guards were killed recently and I am also on the top of the hit list of LeJ. The members of LeJ, BLA and other groups have sophisticated weapons while we, police, still have the fifty years old shotguns and pistols,” he told the court. “Police are receiving constant threats. Eight police officers were killed while all the senior officers are receiving death threats,” Dasti added. Justice Khilji Arif said it was ironic that Balochistan was facing serious law and order problem while police were even not equipped with weapons and resources. Home Secretary Naseebullah Bazai informed the court that Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) and the SIM providers were not cooperating with police for tracing the culprits, specifically kidnappers. “As many as 10 SIMs can be issued on one CNIC, while one can get 60 SIMs on one card since there are mobile phone service providers.”The Supreme Court ordered that action must be taken against the mobile phone companies if they did not follow the law and court orders. The bench also directed cancelling the licences of those mobile network companies that refused to follow the court orders.Balochistan High Court Bar President Zahoor Shawani Advocate said as many as 18 journalists had so far been killed in Balochistan, but the government did not pay compensation to a single victim’s family.The chief justice directed the government and police to lodge FIR of all 18 murders and pay compensation to the families of slain journalists.
