US Consulate May Be Involved in Lahore Bombing Incident. US Consulate violating the Law of Land
LAHORE: Passengers of two US consulate cars refused to let security agencies inspect their vehicles when they were stopped at Sherpao Bridge on Tuesday, and the ensuing, three-hour argument led to a major traffic jam on Jail Road.
The vehicles were later allowed to go when it was verified that the passengers were holders of blue visas. Sources said military personnel had stopped the vehicles – which had tinted windows – for routine checking at a Sherpao Bridge picket, but the drivers locked the cars from the inside.
However, the sources said the security personnel surrounded the cars – with the drivers trying to drive on – and insisted on checking them. The vehicles were kept from leaving the picket for at least three hours.
Intelligence officials – who had arrived at the picket – also tried to persuade the passengers to let their vehicles be checked, but those in the car argued that since they were from the US consulate, they did not fall under the purview of routine checking.
But the military personnel refused to let them go until the arrival of their seniors and provincial government officials, said the sources.
Cantt SP Capt (r) Ghulam Azfar told Daily Times police were not involved in the incident, as the vehicles were stopped at an army picket. However, he confirmed that the vehicles were from the US consulate. He said the passengers argued that since they were holders of blue visas, they were exempt from such checking.
He said the passengers’ identity was verified through the consulate and the Home Department, and “they were, therefore, allowed to go”. He said the cars could not be checked after it had been proven that the passengers were from the US consulate, as “blue visas cover them from such routine checking”. A military personnel told Daily Times that senior army officials took the vehicles to an unidentified location for interrogation, but allowed them to leave later.

This is horribly sad that PML(N) people associate so called goodness to PPP as this has been proofed that they are puppets of American & Brits DECLARED SLAVE have had it beaten in their heads for hundreds of years the problem is that we focus so much on the now, not realizing that now is only a product of then, I am an Orthodox Muslim & thereafter a Pakistani as well & do not believe that Muslim should be unsuccessful without the assistance of the West rather I strongly believe if strongly hold the rope of Almighty Allah Jj i.e. Holy Quran & Ahadees in the form of beloved Prophet Muhammad Ss as this is the only natural way-out of our entire problems.
*RM Kee MoI = Rehman Malik Kee Ministry of Interior
*Territorial Jurisdiction: Under this Law RM’s MoI cannot Interfere.
*RM Kee MoI – Dou(2) American Mashkook Garioun Ko Chora-
*Territorial Jurisdiction: PML(N) Waloun Nay Pehlay Musharraff Ko Chora-
Americans Ko Kuch Nahee Keh Saktay- Lahore Bhee Banay Ga Kiya Tora Bora-
This is totally ludicrous, why any one would be exempted from security checks. Pakistan is fighting two wars at the same, internal elements (I’m referring to those people who are working under MOI and Intelligence Agencies) are trying their utmost to destablise the country and secondly the rouge elments working for external spy agencies such as CIA, M5, RAW & MOSSAD. These people are bending their backs to create havok in all parts of Pakistan but regrettably our corrupt politicians are still licking their shoes.
For all the bomb blasts in the country our Interior Minister Rehman Malik is fully responsible, either he should resign or accept the responsibility. Why Rehman Malik did not take any action against those two vehicles in which foreigners were sitting and they refused to give search of the vehicles.
Keeping in view the prevailing security environments in the country, principally every citizen of the country is supposed to be extra vigilant and careful. Specially the Law Enforcing Agencies. As per the traffic rules tinted glasses are not allowed on motor cars. So, it was very wise of the Military Picket to check the US motor cars with tinted glass. Rule is a rule and it applies to everybody in the country whether a citizen or osutsider. We as a nation try to ensure security surveilence of our motherland in true spirit and nobody MUST BE excused from it.
آجکل ذرائع ابلاغ کی چاندی ہے ۔ ایک خبر اِدھر سے اُٹھائی دو افواہیں اُدھر سے مل گئیں اور چھاپ دیا مضمون ۔ عوام تو سنسنی خیز خبروں کے شوقین بن ہی چکے ہیں ۔ دھڑا دھڑ کمائی ہو رہی ہے ۔ قوم و ملک تباہ ہوتے ہیں اس کا کسی کو ہوش نہیں ۔ زیرِ نظر اُمت اخبار کا کالم ہے ۔ نامہ نگار نے سب کچھ خلط ملط کر کے رکھ دیا ہے ۔ امریکی سرکاری آدمی یا امریکی ایجنسیاں ایک فریق ہے اور دوسرے امریکی یا امریکی کمپنیاں دوسرا فریق ۔ اگر اُمت کا نامہ نگار درست تجربہ رکھتا اور عقل رکھتا تو اسے معلوم ہوتا کہ فریق ِاول سے فریق ثانی بھی عام طور پر تنگ ہی رہتے ہیں مگر فریق اول کی لات اوپر ہونے کی وجہ سے کچھ کر نہیں سکتے اور کسمسا کر رہ جاتے ہیں
خبر ہو یا افواہ ۔ پہلے یہ سوچنا چاہیئے کہ اسے آگے بڑھانے سے کوئی اجتمائی فائدہ ہو گا ؟ اگر فائدہ نہیں ہو گا تو پھر آگے پہنچانے میں نقصان کا خدشہ بہرحال ہوتا ہی ہے
دُشمن یا دُشمنوں کی مربوط سازشوں کی وجہ سے اس وقت ہمارا ملک ایک بھیانک دور سے گذر رہا ہے ۔ نہ صرف ہمارے حکمران ہیں اس کے ذمہ دار بلکہ ہم من حیث القوم بھی ذمہ دار ہیں ۔ ہماری قوم کی اکثریت جلد سے جلد مالدار بننے کی لالچ میں آ کر باہمی اخوت کھو بیٹھی اور بالآخر بالواسطہ یا بلاواسطہ دُشمنوں کے ہاتھوں میں کھیلنے لگی
سچ کو جھوٹ سے ملا کر ہم اپنی قوم یا ملک کی کوئی خدمت نہيں کرتے بلکہ جان بوجھ کر نہیں تو انجانے میں دُشمن کا کام آسان اور ملکی اداروں کا کام مشکل بناتے ہیں اور عوام جو دہشتگردی کا پہلے ہی سے شکار ہیں اُن کی بے کلی میں اضافہ کرتے ہیں
یہ وقت افواہیں پھیلا کر دشمن کا کام آسان کرنے کا وقت نہیں ہے بلکہ محنت اور جانفشانی سے حقائق کی تلاش کرنا ہر محبِ وطن پاکستانی پر فرض ہے ۔ بالخصوص ذرائع ابلاغ کا یہ فرض ہے کہ کوئی خبر اچھی طرح چھان بین کئے بغیر نہ چھاپیں اور غلط اطلاعات لانے والے نامہ نگاروں کا محاسبہ کریں ۔ ہر محبِ وطن کا فرض ہے کہ وہ اپنے کردار کا محاسبہ کرے اور کوئی خبر [افواہ] سن کر آگے نہ بڑھائے جب تک اُسے سو فیصد یقین نہ ہو جائے کہ یہ حقیقت ہے اور اسے دوسرے تک نہ پہنچانے سے اجتماعی نقصان کا خدشہ ہے
