Mohan: dawn.com PPP demands probe body on Kargil 'fiasco' By Our Correspondent MULTAN, Aug 26: The Pakistan Peoples Party has demanded a high-powered commission to fix responsibility for the loss of lives in Kargil and retreat from there. The PPP organized a rally in south Punjab led by Punjab President Rao Sikandar Iqbal, central vice-chairman Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani and central leader Khalid Kharal on Thursday. A caravan of over 1,500 vehicles took part in the rally which began from the Chenab Bridge to Karamdad Qureshi in Muzaffargarh. Hundreds of thousands of activists of the PPP, the PYO, the PSF, the Lawyers Forum, the PPP Labour Wing, the PPP (women's wing), took part in the rally. Participants were chanting slogans like "Go-Nawaz Go", Kargil defeat unacceptable, down with America, down with Nawaz Sharif, Benazir Ham Tumharay Sath Hain". More than a dozen processions reached Muzaffargarh from Jatoi, Alipur, Kotaddu, Leiah, Doabad, Rangpur, Karamdad Qureshi, and Gujrat to join the main procession. The PPP leaders while addressing demanded constitution of a probe committee comprising army generals, retired judges of the Supreme Court, chief justices of high courts and politicians to fix responsibility of losses in Kargil. President of the party Rao Sikandar Iqbal said that the PPP after coming into power would end the general sales tax at retailer level and would end joblessness, lawlessness, and dearness. He said that India had never dared during the PPP regime to attack Pakistan nor it had violated borders. He said that Ms Benazir Bhutto was playing her role as an ambassador and had met a number of leaders of G-8 countries. He said at least 38 political parties were agreed on a one-point agenda of ousting the Nawaz government. Khalid Kharal said that this 'remarkable' rally in Muzaffargarh was an eye opener for the rulers. He said the days of the Nawaz government were numbered and hoped that the PPP would get more votes in southern Punjab than Sindh. He appreciated PPP workers belonging to Muzaffargarh for holding a big rally. LIQUOR SEIZED: Muzaffargarh city police on Wednesday seized 1,020 bottles of liquor from a truck. The truck driver and his cleaner, however, managed to escape. CASE WITHDRAWN: Muzaffargarh irrigation's executive engineer has withdrawn a water-theft case instituted against 41 landlords in Moza Shakbela and ordered a departmental inquiry against the ziladar and other staff for registering a false case against them.

Deja vu all over again. Another day and another bus plunges into a lake and another 40, 50, 60 or whatever number of people are killed. deccanherald.com Guess what happened to the inquiry commission that was supposed to be looking into a similar accident that occurred in the same state a couple of months ago... Either the bureaucratic nitwits in charge of the investigation have gone into hibernation or the findings of the commission have not been made public because it is "against the national interest" or some such crap.
