Why ask for implementation of the National Action Plan when there's nothing to implement?

[Markhor]

The National Action Plan was launched after the Peshawar attacks to much hue and cry. The attack today in Mardan makes me wonder what exactly NAP has achieved. Nawaz Sharif says NAP needs to be fast tracked. A high level task force last month was set up to "monitor implementation" (what was Nacta for then ?) - however the premise is flawed because there's nothing to implement. Its not a serious plan.

A plan is where you draw up SPECIFIC steps to meet certain goals, what resources are required, make clear which departments are responsible for implementing certain parts of the plan and deadlines for when you want these targets met. NAP on the other hand reads like this:

4. “Nacta, the anti-terrorism institution will be strengthened”.

6. “All funding sources of terrorists and terrorist outfits will be frozen”.

15. “No room will be left for the extremism in any part of the country”.

18. “Action against elements spreading sectarianism”.

Seriously, PP posters can come up with more specifics than this. The Supreme Court remarked last July - "not a single bit of work was done on the plan". Gen Raheel Sharif has said “The National Action Plan is central to achievement of our objectives and its lack of progress is affecting the consolidation phase of Operation Zarb-i-Azb.”

Not a SINGLE Nacta board of governors meeting was held in 2015, the very body meant to monitor NAP implementation.

What about terrorist financing ? In the entire country, FIA is the ONLY organisation with a dedicated Terrorist Finance Investigation Unit. Yet for years TIFU has been without a head and is understaffed.

What about policing ? Tariq Pervez, a retired police officer wrote in DAWN that the only national database of fingerprints of criminals, called Pakistan Automated Fingerprints Identification System, has been "nonfunctional for many years" and the government has made "no effort" to make it functional post-NAP.

NAP - something called a plan that isn't a plan.

 

[Pakpak]

Because the PMLN-government is a sham, they want to be seen doing something without actually bothering to do something.

 

[Markhor]

Here's the NAP in full from the government website. It reads like a shopping list. Notice the lack of detail and specifics on every count.

A 20 points declaration, agreed to in the All Parties Conference was announced by the Prime Minister. These points were unanimously agreed in a marathon of leaders of all the Political parties after a session of 11 hours.

• Implementation of death sentence of those convicted in cases of terrorism.
  
• Special trial courts under the supervision of Army. The duration of these courts would be two years.
  
• Militant outfits and armed gangs will not be allowed to operate in the country.
  
• NACTA, the anti-terrorism institution will be strengthened.
  
• Strict action against the literature, newspapers and magazines promoting hatred, decapitation, extremism, sectarianism and intolerance.
  
• All funding sources of terrorists and terrorist outfits will be frozen.
  
• The defunct outfits will not be allowed to operate under any other name.
  
• Establishing and deploying a dedicated counter-terrorism force.
  
• End to religious extremism and protection of minorities will be ensured.
  
• Registration and regulation of religious seminaries.
  
• Ban on glorification of terrorists and terrorist organisations through print and electronic media.
  
• Administrative and development reforms in FATA with immediate focus on repatriation of IDPs.
  
• Communication network of terrorists will be dismantled completely.
  
• Concrete measures against promotion of terrorism through internet and social media.
  
• No room will be left for the extremism in any part of the country.
  
• Ongoing operation in Karachi will be taken to its logical end.
  
• Balochistan government to be fully empowered for political reconciliation with complete ownership by all stakeholders.
  
• Action against elements spreading sectarianism.
  
• Formulation of a comprehensive policy to deal with the issue of Afghan refugees, beginning with registration of all refugees.
  
• Reforms in criminal courts system to strengthen the anti-terrorism institutions including provincial CIDs.

Turns out Interior Minister is no longer in charge of monitoring implementation of NAP and hardly bothered to show up to NAP meetings involving civilian officials.

http://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2016/08/16/national/nisar-caught-napping-over-nap-loses-captaincy/

In an obvious snub to Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Monday changed the captain of his team monitoring the 20-point National Action Plan (NAP) and replaced the interior minister with National Security Adviser (NSA) Lt Gen (r) Nasser Janjua.

Previously, the minister for interior was monitoring NAP; however, the senior military leadership, especially the chief of army staff (COAS) in successive meetings expressed serious concerns over the non-implementation of the plan which may have led to the change of guard.

The decision was taken at a high-level meeting chaired by the prime minister. The meeting was also attended by other high ranking civilian and military officials including Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar, Army Chief General Raheel Sharif, PM’s Adviser and Special Assistant on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz and Tariq Fatemi, National Security Adviser Lt Gen (r) Nasser Khan Janjua, Inter Services Intelligence Director-General Lt Gen Rizwan Akhtar, Intelligence Bureau DG Aftab Sultan and Foreign Secretary Aizaz Chaudhry among other senior civilian and military officials.

The move is being seen as a huge blow to Nisar who is supposed to be very close both to the military establishment as well as the Sharif brothers. However, the replacement may reflect the fact that the minister may be losing clout with the Khakis as well as the civilian leadership.

A well placed source told Pakistan Today that soon after the APS attack and the finalisation of the NAP, the federal government had formed 15 committees to implement the plan.

Out of the 15 committees, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan was given charge of 11 committees. The committees included federal ministers, senior government officials and top army officials such as the director generals of the ISI and Military Operations. The military was to focus on anti-terrorism matters while their representatives were not placed on the committees tasked to deal with matters such as the persecution of religious minorities, registration of madrassas, sectarianism and media curbs.

However, the source said, the interior minister failed to get the job done as he was hardly available for meetings related to NAP.

“The minister was only interested in committees which had the presence of high-ranking military officials. He was usually absent from committees which included only civilian officials, resulting in lackluster implementation of the NAP,” the source added.

National action plan simply cannot be implemented in its current form for a variety of reasons. Lets go through the plan step by step to see just how ridiculous it is.

Implementation of death sentence of those convicted in cases of terrorism.
Fair enough, I guess, though I don't see how it will help in the long run considering that the death penalty has proved to be a poor deterrent even for regular murderers, much less hardened terrorists.

Special trial courts under the supervision of Army. The duration of these courts would be two years.
A license to engage in wanton human rights violations with zero accountability. A better step would have been to strengthen civilian courts. There is already precedent for the army pinning one of its own crimes(Sabeen Mahmood's murder) on someone who was picked up for involvement in another act of terrorism(Safoora goth - the guy actually is guilty of that so a convenient scapegoat).

Militant outfits and armed gangs will not be allowed to operate in the country.
Translation: TTP will not be allowed to operate in the country. All other terrorists groups, particularly those based in Punjab and Karachi, are free to do as they please. The army will even provide security for their rallies.

NACTA, the anti-terrorism institution will be strengthened.
By being starved of funds.

Strict action against the literature, newspapers and magazines promoting hatred, decapitation, extremism, sectarianism and intolerance.
Translation: We'll toss the odd sectarian cleric in jail from time to time.

All funding sources of terrorists and terrorist outfits will be frozen.
Not going to happen. The single largest source of funding for terrorist outfits is Saudi Arabia and neither the government nor the army has the wherewithal to pull something like this off.

The defunct outfits will not be allowed to operate under any other name.
Lie. Not only are they allowed to operate under different names, in the last year alone members of the army and rangers have been present at several ASWJ rallies while Jamat ud Dawa was allowed to plaster Islamabad with promotional material for a public appearance by Hafiz Saeed a stone's throw from ISI headquarters.

Establishing and deploying a dedicated counter-terrorism force.
How well has that worked out? Any news on that?

End to religious extremism and protection of minorities will be ensured.
Yeah, we really saw that last week when another Christian colony was burned down by locals in Faisalabad. You'd think two incidents of this nature in the last three years would be enough but then it wouldn't be Pakistan without angry Muslim mobs hunting minorities.

Registration and regulation of religious seminaries.
The fact that a ragtag collection of clerics, who don't even get along with each other, has thwarted our military and government speaks volumes of their resolve on this front.

Ban on glorification of terrorists and terrorist organisations through print and electronic media.
Is that why ASWJ and/or JuD continue to hold rallies on a weekly basis with promotional material distributed far and wide well before the events?

Administrative and development reforms in FATA with immediate focus on repatriation of IDPs.
No idea how that's going but I fail to see the connection.

Communication network of terrorists will be dismantled completely.
Seriously? In the age of encrypted messaging?

Concrete measures against promotion of terrorism through internet and social media.
Yeah, nah.. The cyber crimes bill is a disgrace. It does more to stifle criticism of the government and Islam than it does to prevent glorification of terrorists.

No room will be left for the extremism in any part of the country.
What does this even mean? This is so ambiguous it should be on a 16 year old nationalist's wishlist, not an official document on counter-terrorism policy.

Ongoing operation in Karachi will be taken to its logical end.
By holding back against MQM so army can continue to control Karachi through rangers while allowing the religious terrorist organizations absolute freedom of expression and movement.

Balochistan government to be fully empowered for political reconciliation with complete ownership by all stakeholders.
And pigs will fly.

Action against elements spreading sectarianism.
Unless said elements are from the two favored sects that also happen to account for virtually 100% of terrorism in the country.

Formulation of a comprehensive policy to deal with the issue of Afghan refugees, beginning with registration of all refugees.
While completely disregarding the fact that the vast majority of terrorists in the country are locals and the two largest terrorist groups in the country, JuD/LeT and JuD are both based in Punjab.

Reforms in criminal courts system to strengthen the anti-terrorism institutions including provincial CIDs.
Yet to be implemented. The real issue are extremist judges(particularly in Lahore and Islamabad high courts), extremist lawyers(the vast majority) and lack of security for the few judges and lawyers who dare prosecute terrorists.

Top post. Esp about Saudi meddling. Our people idolise them as well. Absolutely bizarre. They are the single biggest reason we are infested with terror ragtag organisations.

The people idolize them because they aren't aware of the ground realities. There's also the religious angle which is a cancer for the country but we're too far gone to back out of that now. Our army and government keep feeding people some BS about RAW, Mossad and CIA being the puppet masters behind terrorism in Pakistan while KSA is portrayed as an unwavering friend whose largess allowed us to develop nukes. That's not to say RAW isn't involved but their involvement is fairly limited and mostly limited to supporting the head honchos of the likes of TTP/BLA than to actively fund their operations and provide them with targets. Even then, while the TTP's leadership may be friendly with RAW, their foot soldiers, the people who actually kill Pakistanis, are trained right here in Saudi funded madrassas and this goes for every single terrorist group in the country bar the odd fringe Shia groups that no one has heard off and who only target other Sunni terrorist groups as opposed to civilians.

He want to be the ameer ul momneen but it always backfires you know even if he picks COAS by hand (as PM he worked with 5 COAS i think and never had good relations with any of them). What he don't realize is a COAS will never go against the interests of Army once he become chief no matter even if he is a cousin of Nawaz Shareef

For those not aware, ASWJ/SSP/LeJ has the highest body count in Pakistan after the TTP. People who remember the spate of bombings targeting Hazaras in Quetta between 2010 and 2014 would remember that ASWJ were the ones responsible and these attacks killed so many that they made TTP look like amateurs. This is a banned organization and somehow their leadership can walk in and out of a meeting with military and police brass without getting arrested.

In other news:

Explaining the reason for Pakistan’s inaction, the official said that instructions from the prime minister were clear – to arrest or kill the members of JeM. Initially, Islamabad did just that; the Counterterrorism Department (CTD) raided several seminaries and houses across the country to arrest JeM members. Then, “In a high-level security meeting, PM Sharif was pressured by [Chief of Army Staff] General Raheel Sharif to let the army handle the operations, instead of the CTD,” the official told The Diplomat.

“No one knows what happened after that,” he added.

While the paramilitary Rangers’ operation against “criminal elements” in political parties was in a full swing, JeM’s members were seen collecting funds for jihad after the Eid prayers – often in the presence of Rangers. However, Punjab’s Home Department recently instructed the police authorities to keep watch on JuD’s fundraising activities.

[DW44]

these guys should be murdered next time they are called for a meeting, army/gov is clearly scared of these guys !

Army still sees them as assets and they have powerful backers in the holy kingdom so any action against them is a non starter. Read the second half of the post from The Diplomat where the power dynamic between the government and army is laid bare. The government tries to take action against them with capture or kill orders, Army chief pressures government into backing off and letting the army deal with them, government acquiesces, no further action is taken.

 

[Markhor]

Whenever an attack happens, you hope the government has some sort of detailed policy going forward to precent such atrocities occurring again.

Now you can read the NAP in #3 for yourselves. Perversely for a government document, it won't take long to read !

How can anybody think that is a blueprint for government anti-terrorism policy. Where are the specific measures in achieving those goals, the resources required, the people responsible for implementation and the timetable to achieve those aims ? Even the dumbest TV anchor could've written some of those lines.

If that is the grand strategy to defeat terrorism then God help the people of Pakistan.

 

[Markhor]

Its interesting reading the inquiry commission report after the Quetta hospital bombing which is much more thorough than NAP.

One of the issues it raised is the ministry of religious affairs does not possess even basic data about the religious institutions in the country nor does have the capability to obtain it. There is no central bank of data, including the number of seminaries and their profiles, nor is the ministry, or ANY other authority in Pakistan, even attempting to collect it !

Justice Qazi Isa also takes a dim view of NAP, stating "NAP should be made into a proper plan, with clear goals, a comprehensive monitoring mechanism, and periodic reviewing" - so there you have it. A Supreme Court judge implies the National Action Plan is not a plan !

There are 16 different committees meant to be monitoring the implementation of NAP - presenting terrific opportunity for individuals to keep passing the buck. The interior minister sits on 13 of them. The new head of NAP implementation committee has decided to form provincial NAP implementation committees - so now the blame for NAP's failure can be shifted onto the provincial governments. This is despite the fact there's ALREADY meant to be provincial bodies overseeing NAP ! So what's the use of these new committees ?

Pakistan should make committee-forming a national sport, especially when said committees produce reports with much hue and cry before it inevitably fails to be implemented whilst nobody in positions of authority ever take accountability for such negligence. It would win the Gold Medal every time.

 

[Markhor]

With every passing day the farce of the National Inaction Plan is being exposed.

This is a political gimmick, not a counter-terrorism strategy. How much more blood needs to be spilled before people realise this.

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

The National Action Plan was launched after the Peshawar attacks to much hue and cry. The attack today in Mardan makes me wonder what exactly NAP has achieved. Nawaz Sharif says NAP needs to be fast tracked. A high level task force last month was set up to "monitor implementation" (what was Nacta for then ?) - however the premise is flawed because there's nothing to implement. Its not a serious plan.

A plan is where you draw up SPECIFIC steps to meet certain goals, what resources are required, make clear which departments are responsible for implementing certain parts of the plan and deadlines for when you want these targets met. NAP on the other hand reads like this:



Seriously, PP posters can come up with more specifics than this. The Supreme Court remarked last July - "not a single bit of work was done on the plan". Gen Raheel Sharif has said “The National Action Plan is central to achievement of our objectives and its lack of progress is affecting the consolidation phase of Operation Zarb-i-Azb.”

Not a SINGLE Nacta board of governors meeting was held in 2015, the very body meant to monitor NAP implementation.

What about terrorist financing ? In the entire country, FIA is the ONLY organisation with a dedicated Terrorist Finance Investigation Unit. Yet for years TIFU has been without a head and is understaffed.

What about policing ? Tariq Pervez, a retired police officer wrote in DAWN that the only national database of fingerprints of criminals, called Pakistan Automated Fingerprints Identification System, has been "nonfunctional for many years" and the government has made "no effort" to make it functional post-NAP.

NAP - something called a plan that isn't a plan.

It is being implemented in letter and spirit. Alhamdoulillah.
