Muhammad Waqas[/caption]In a recently held heated National Assembly session, the government of Pakistan was able to successfully promulgate the Pakistan Protection Ordinance (PPO). There was plenty of drama, with the opposition parties tearing up copies of the proposed bill and staging a walkout protest. The controversial ordinance empowers security forces to arrest and detain suspects at secret locations, shoot them at sight and also conduct raids without any search warrants. The opposition parties believe that the law proposes extra-constitutional measures, and could turn Pakistan into a police state. However, the law faces a stern test in the country’s Upper House or Senate before it can be formally adopted by the State. Further, opposition parties have vowed to file a petition against the “draconian and regressive law” in the Supreme Court.
The law was conceived to give sweeping powers to security forces and make them more effective in overcoming the menace of poor security situation across the country. Besides being plagued by militancy in the volatile northwestern region bordering Afghanistan, security forces in Pakistan continue to battle militancy, which has crept into urban centers. Meanwhile, the country’s sluggish economic performance and widening socioeconomic divide have also increased the rate of street crimes. In this backdrop, the decree was well intended but fails to tackle the root causes of Pakistan’s main security challenges. According to the law, all elements that create disorder in the country have been declared as “enemies of the state.”
The government also pledges to make the protection of life as its top priority. While all political parties and members of the civil society back the government’s resolve of restoring peace in the country, the proposed bill may be used to target political workers of certain affiliations and also curb civil freedom. The need for such a law is also being questioned with the government already in talks with the main faction of Pakistani Taleban. Perhaps, the law is intended to send a strong message to the militants and warn them of a massive military action in case they back track from the peace process.
The controversial bill could also pave the way for use of brutal force to crush different political and civil rights movement in the country. It will raise the level of insecurity in political and civil circles from neglected provinces, like Balochistan. The government is already struggling to explain its position to the Supreme Court in the alleged enforced disappearances case, and this law would provide a cover to security agencies to continue with their covert activities.
The government would have been wiser to carry out consultations with members of the civil society and other political parties before tabling this law. Given the influence of opposition in Upper House, the law is anyway not expected to be passed in its current shape. Rather than imposing such drastic measures, the government should focus on developing a coherent anti-terrorism strategy that weeds out the primary issues of contention. The ordinance is completely against democratic ideals of freedom of expression and deliberation as it grants the government extraordinary powers to quell dissent under the garb of state protection.
LAHORE: Pakistan named new coaches for their senior and junior hockey teams on Wednesday as they try to drag themselves out of a slump and revive past glories.
Pakistan failed to qualify for the World Cup to be held in the Netherlands in June -- the first time they have ever missed the tournament, which they have won four times.
Pakistan have also won three Olympic gold medals but slumped to seventh position in the 2012 London Olympics. They were 12th and last in the 2010 World Cup in India.
Crumbling finances forced the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) to pull out of international events this year.
Hockey struggles to compete with cricket for popularity and funding, but the PHF is hoping a 100 million rupee ($1 million) grant promised by Punjab chief minister Shahbaz Sharif will give the sport the boost it needs.
The PHF said Olympian Shahnaz Shaikh will coach the senior team, while former captain Manzoor Ahmed will take charge of the junior team.
Another former captain, Islahuddin Siddiqui, will be the chief selector after the PHF persuaded former players to end their boycott of the federation and help the revival.
Shaikh, who had two unsuccessful stints as coach, said his first target would be to defend the Asian Games title which Pakistan won in China in 2010.
“I am here to do my best to revive Pakistan hockey and my first target will be to defend the Asian title in South Korea in September,” said Shaikh.
Pakistan also suffered badly at the junior level, finishing ninth out of 12 teams in the Junior World Cup held in India last year.
Ahmed, captain of Pakistan's last Olympic gold medal-winning team in Los Angeles in 1984, said his task will be to give the junior team a stronger base.

Peace is a state desired not only on a personal level but also on national level and in relationships between nations. Yet it continues to elude at all levels. On a very general level it may be defined as, ‘freedom from disturbance; tranquility.’ Yet, how many of us, at an individual level have ‘complete’ peace? Not many, is my bet. Each one of us has those gray areas in our lives that perturb us. Relationships can be marred by various differences.
