Syed Sibtain Kazmi accused murderer of Maulana Azam Tariq arrested after 14 years

[TalentSpotterPk]

ISLAMABAD: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), on Thursday, arrested a proclaimed offender in former Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP) chief Maulana Azam Tariq‘s murder at Islamabad airport.

Syed Muhammad Sibtain Kazmi was identified and arrested by immigration officials as he tried to flee to the United Kingdom via Doha on Qatar Airline’s flight QR-633.

Wanted in the former SSP chief’s murder case, the government had announced Rs1,000,000 bounty for Kazmi’s arrest.

The banned outfit now operates freely under the name of Ahl-e-Sunnat Wal Jama’at (ASWJ).

Tariq, the then MNA, was gunned down along with three of his guards and a driver in the limits of Islamabad’s Golra police in 2003, while returning from his constituency, Jhang, to attend a National Assembly session.

Following the assassination of the former SSP leader, his supporters went on a rampage in the city and burned down a cinema hall in Melody Market, killing two people inside.

SSP was banned for being a terrorist outfit in 2002. The organisation, which has a sectarian, anti-Shia ideology, is also believed to be linked with the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi. According to the late Minority Affairs minister, Shahbaz Bhatti, SSP was behind the Gojra riots, while Wikileaks cables identified a number of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan members as having their origins in the SSP.

Lol syed.

Pathetic stuff from people who use that with their name. If they want to link them selves with the prophet then why not start by actually doing good deeds? And refraining from bad

He is only accused not convicted. Who knows if he is innocent ?

Its not about that.

Its about people using such names. Or even when people take pride in their caste, or end up generalizing against a whole cast due to one bad apple

The only time vigilante behaviour will be punished in Pakistan is when you attack a hate preaching Mullah or really anyone from ASWJ/SSP.

I'll be in the minority but I would express my gratitude to Kazmi for doing something that our law enforcement agencies refuse to. The mere thought of confronting mullahs/SSP/ASWJ would make our brave law enforcement agencies wet their pants.

I remember the killing. It was 2003, and it happened at a toll booth outside Islamabad.

Azam Tariq, hatemomger and mass murderer, was a sitting MNA, elected while there was ostensibly a ban on his outfit. When asked how this was allowed to happen, the Musharraf regime's spokesman said it had been allowed to happen "by mistake." A mistake they never got around to correcting, until Tariq's victims took matters into their own hands.

If this Syed Sibtain Kazmi really is the killer, he deserves a medal for that timely, noble deed.

So you are advocating for Citizens of the State taking law in their hand and killing people if they are from agrieved family, party, sect or religion if the judicial system or law enforcing agencies fail to dispense justice ?

 

[Saeed]

Why do people use honory titles like Syed and Maulana with such people? Hang the so called Syed or at minimum life sentence behind bars.

 

[Nostalgic]

In the face of SSP/ASWJ et al, yes, I'm advocating it. In an ideal world, the judicial system would do its job. Actually, in an ideal world, SSP/ASWJ wouldn't even be allowed to exist. But the deep state patronizes these outfits and lets its citizens be slaughtered, so the aggrieved citizens hitting back is the last resort. It is regrettable that it should come to this, but it has. The Shia and the Ahmadis should do it every chance they get.

 

[Nostalgic]

By the way, I remember the aftermath of Azam Tariq's timely death. His minions ran amok in Islamabad. They decided where they were going to hold his funeral, which if I remember correctly was outside the parliament, of all places. Like with their rally last year, permission was not sought, because permission was not needed. And they came armed, ready to cause carnage. Which they did, of course, and like always, our fearsome law enforcement agencies were nowhere to be seen.

What the article in the OP doesn't mention is that one of the shops they torched in Melody Market had a person inside. That poor guy was burnt to a crisp, one more in the long list of victims of these animals.

But of course the state places a million rupee bounty for Tariq's killer. There is no bounty for the ones who roasted a person alive.

[MENTION=22846]Nostalgic[/MENTION] you can sympathize with the killer but cannot advocate it, its a slippery slop , judiciary has to be strengthened not lawlessness.

 

[Black Zero]

Low level genocide of minorities is happening for decades in Pakistan so talk about judiciary etc is irrelevant.

Pakistan is a banana state!

I was in grade 6 when I had to burry my Pateral Uncle's bullets strained body. Lashkar e Jhangvi terrorists were behind it and they were arrested, accepted their crime and acquitted 3 years later.


But I won't endorse anyone taking law in their hand and go on a killing spree whether or not justice gets served.


I know that Shia Muslims are the most persecuted religious group of Pakistan in last 10 years especially and State must take a firm stance but even if Sibtain had his hand in killing than what benefit it caused to the community or society ? Situation got worsened over the years.


Patience and struggle for rule of law should be the way to go.

I don't advocate citizens ever taking the law in their own hands. I don't condone vigilante behaviour when there are law enforcement agencies present.

Pakistan is a lawless society with no able law enforcement agencies. You're aware of the ground realities. The number of times you see "na maloom afraad" in the media should tell you everything you need to know about the law enforcement agencies in Pakistan. So in this case, I have no problem with people taking the law into their own hands.

Pakistan is essentially like the wild west of America 200-300 years ago. You had to look out for yourself to survive. In World War 2, if a citizen killed a renowned Nazi leader would they be criticized for taking the law into their own hands?

If Pakistan had able law enforcement agencies, then would Mashal Khan have died?

So a disgruntled Shia (I'm assuming based off his name) killed a hate mongering Wahabbi (or whatever extremist sect) shouldn't even be in the news.

It's quite ironic that some people on this forum have the nerve to call someone else extremist. Doesn't matter, you're ok with people taking law's into their hands if they feel they are oppressed. So you would be ok if a whatever extremist group takes law into their own hand.
