Re: DI Khan jail break
I presume it should be provincial governments. Intelligence agencies had warned the provincial government, isn’t it the responsibility of intelligence to foil these attacks as well?
Re: DI Khan jail break
At least the interior minister should.
Re: DI Khan jail break
Are you saying its IAs job to provide security in prisons? Jails are provincial subjects, and fall under provincial home departments. In this case, PTI govt is responsible for this fiasco. Funny thing is that not long ago PTI govt was asking federal government to remove military from Swat. If they can’t protect prison, when they were told that this was going to happen, how are they going to provide security to the people of Swat?

Re: DI Khan jail break
Someone should most certainly be held responsible for this fiasco. But to be quite honest, I can easily see the same thing happening in any other jail in Pakistan. Fact is, our police and jail wardens are so poorly trained and equipped that it is virtually impossible for them to defend these jails against such an onslaught. Terrorists have modern weapons, heavy stuff. Our police have beat up guns, with limited ammo.
Rana Sanaullah can call for resignation of KPK govt, but fact is, Punjab is in no better position. Its just that Punjab govt is friendly towards these terrorists, which is why they have relative peace, and are reluctant to take any meaningful steps to work against these groups.
This incident makes it every more important to take immediate steps, conduct meaningful meetings with law enforcement agencies, and PML-N needs to stop steam rolling every meaningful effort.
Re: DI Khan jail break
It is impossible that they didnt have a inside help. Hundreds of tallibans came to the prison crossing the city and no one raised alarms and took few hundreds which would make their convoy of atleast few hundred vehicles. How can they vanish in thin air.
I think they should stop blaming each other and worry about whats gonna happen next. Unless they assume that those escaped prisoners will go back home and live a peaceful life they should go and catch them. These people are gonna wreak havoc in the state and then blame game will start again.
Re: DI Khan jail break
such a failure : ( if reports of advance intelligence reports about the attack are true, then its purely provincial govt who's responsible in this particular case.
but PTI has just took power in KP not more than 2 months ago, they will take time to bring the much promised change. However, they should at least tell us the measures they took after this warning, and explain how those measures were sufficient and were the best they could do, if they cannot, then no one else but provincial govt would be to blamed for this.

At the end of the day, our forces are just not equipped or trained enough. Remember just a few days back, our own Punjab police agreed to hand over a bunch of their lashkar-e-jhangvi jailbirds in return for the release of their very own police folks in Rajanpur. Thats how lame our situation is. That is what happens when police departments are stuffed with political appointments, untrained, unkempt, unarmed etc.
Re: DI Khan jail break
true agree with that, and to be honest, i cannot hold PTI solely responsible for this fiasco, they just took over power recently and need time to hold ground. but what was the point of Khattak pointing fingers at center and blatantly lying that there was no intelligence sharing? seriously?
whatever happened to “awam say jhoot nahi bolaingay”? come clean, take responsibility, own up, say we are not prepared, we need time, and people will accept. why say we were not informed?
while shah say zyada shah kay wafadar go long way to defend how it wasn’t provincial govt’s failure, PTI’s own man says opposite https://twitter.com/ArifAlvi/status/362463820121243648

..and yes ... 250 plus 150 = over 400 persons, .....where did they vanished ....??
Re: DI Khan jail break
someone fwd him the Dawn newspaper link where dates and number of times report was shared and follow-up was sent, even text messages were sent, and even KP govt held meeting in response to the report
Re: DI Khan jail break
its intelligence’s job to carry out sting operations to neutralise threats like these. Another thing is that most probably these guys came from south waziristan (which is secured by the army) and that’s where they fled again. Having said that, the provincial governments has proven to be incompetent in this matter. If they are not upto the task they should go home and let some one else take care of the province.
Re: DI Khan jail break
I know no one would be held responsible for this matter, but there are serious questions that the provincial government needs to answer:
1) if they had intelligence of the attack what steps did they take to counter it?
2) why lie that they were not given intelligence?
3) why this confusion about who is attacking them (when the culprits are accepting the attacks)?
i hate to say it but in spite of its corruption ANP was more courageous as compared to PTI. I fear PTI will destroy the province due to its incompetence and confused policies. The friends of imran khan will bring about the downfall of his political career.

DI Khan jail break: Rana Sanaullah calls for Khattak’s resignation
Did Shahbaz Sharif resigned after attack on Police training school in Manawan?
Did Shahbaz Sharif resigned after 200+ deaths @PIC?
Did Shahbaz Sharif resigned after Rescue 15 building attack?
Did Shahbaz Sharif Resigned after Datta Darbar attack?
Did Shahbaz Sharif resigned after FIA building attack?
Should start with chitrol of guards/ellite force jawans who left their posts.
Yes its a failure on part of KPK gov but KPK is not alone. how many more attacks r needed to get serious on terrorism issue?
Do we have any law in place that allowes intelligence agencies to make arrests?
Re: DI Khan jail break

Good question, but you can't fight terrorists if ruling parties, both at center and in KPK, have soft spot of Taliban.
Re: DI Khan jail break
What ruling parties? Who are they and what powers do they have?
If anything its the intelligence and army who can't bothered to be serious about this issue. Exactly how many terrorists have escaped and what exactly was the response from the establishment? Why didn't any army general called an emergency meeting or addressed the public? Where does the judiciary stand on this matter? Where is CJ sou motto not only for this particular case but all other previous jail break incidents?
