Separate jail for terrorists:
Online adds: Construction work on a jail, solely for terrorists and militants, has been started in KPK.
As per the authorities concerned, this jail is being established in the city of Mardan in which modern security system will be installed. This will be a central jail and security arrangements there will be of international standards.
Talking to BBC, spokesperson for KPK Chief Minister, Sheraz Paracha, said important prisoners would be kept in this jail and its staff would be fully trained.
According to the authorities, this jail will have separate rooms and a centre from where prisoners will not be able to come out by themselves. Experts’ services are also being hired for this jail and it will be constructed as soon as possible.
A home department official said this project would be completed in the next few months after which all the prisoners facing terror charges would be shifted there.
Initially, militants, terrorists and prisoners involved in major crimes will be shifted to district jail Mardan and as soon as the main jail is constructed, they will be shifted there.
The decision of establishing a jail solely for terrorists and militants was taken after the attacks on Bannu and DI Khan jails.
1. Pakistan is run by Punjabis.
Hazaras i.e. Hindko speakers are essentially Punjabis culturally, linguistically and mentally.
2. Pashtuns had to wait 6 decades to get a proper name from their province from the non-descript "North west frontier province".
Hazaras wait a few years not for a name change but an entire new province of their own.
3. This is Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
It is a province which its "Muslim brothers" from the Punjab refused to give it surplus wheat to feed hungry Muslims in Pakhtunkhwa, it has very little power.
It is now going to lose a big portion of its territory i.e. the Hazara division and this will include majority-Pashtun regions of the Hazara division.
If the PMAP wanted Pashtun-majority areas of Balochistan to form their own province the Punjabi-controlled Pakistani authorities would block it.
