In Pakistan’s Punjab, kite sellers find new customers with ‘illegal’ online business

• Supreme Court banned the Basant kite festival in 2005 after 19 people were decapitated by stray strings reinforced with glass and chemicals
• Kite Flying Association says shopkeepers and online sellers still generating up to Rs20 million a season selling kites and strings

LAHORE: On April 10, a man was arrested by police in the eastern city of Lahore for selling kites and strings online, considered illegal since a 2005 ban was imposed on celebrating the boisterous spring festival of Basant. 
After being released on bail the next day, the retailer, identified by police only by his first name, Salamat, said his ecommerce business had been “thriving” despite the ban.
“I receive orders online, sometimes on the phone, from many circles, and the business keeps on thriving despite the ban on kite flying,” the suspect was quoted by investigators as saying. “The list of my customers ranges from shopkeepers to some elite people.”
Kite-flying has long been a passion in South Asia and for decades, the Basant celebration would transform Pakistan’s skies into a glittery kaleidoscope of hundreds of thousands of kites to commemorate the advent of spring. But in 2005, the Supreme Court banned the celebration after 19 people died from decapitation by stray strings. In that year alone, kites and string worth over Rs1 billion were sold on Basant day just in the eastern city of Lahore, whose ancient walled enclave is the epicenter of the festival.

The problem, authorities say, arises when kite-flyers indulge in duels, flying with thick strings or razor-sharp wires reinforced with glass and chemicals so they can better attack opponents’ kites and slice their strings. Stray strings have been known to knock out power lines and, in some cases, tangle around a human neck or limb, and cut it.

The ban has been lifted several times over the years for the period of Basant, but the sport still caused deaths as kite fliers continued to use wire or modified strings.

So, as selling kites remains illegal and police continue to crack down on manufacturers and sellers, much of the business has moved online, industry insiders and authorities say, with the Internet offering substantial impunity.
Police say they are “hopeless” in the absence of clear laws to tackle online kite selling. 
A cybercrime director at the Federal Investigation Authority (FIA), Abdur Rab Chaudhry, told Arab News, the cybercrime wing should “technically and legally” be looking into cases of online kite-selling, but for now, the Kite Flying Act came under police jurisdiction. 
“This is electronic forgery and crime, but unfortunately it’s not on the schedule of FIA,” Chaudhry said. “This offense should be extended to the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act.”
Meanwhile, the online kite business has grown to be worth billions of rupees, according to the president of the Kite Flying Association, Sheikh Saleem, who said both shopkeepers and those involved in online retail were together generating up to Rs20 million per season, despite the Basant ban. 
“This business, if allowed, can run into billions,” Saleem told Arab News. “In fact, people had been making billions when there was no ban.”
Basant could still generate Rs100 billion annually if the ban were lifted, he said.

“The government should have come out with a viable strategy to stop incidents due to metallic wire used in kite flying, instead of shutting down the whole industry,” Saleem lamented.
For now, there are no plans to bring Basant back, Punjab Culture Minister Khayal Kastro told Arab News, citing five deaths due to kite-flying duels in March alone.
“That’s true, the government has failed to net the culprits who turned this festival into a deadly entertainment,” he said, adding that “this is not solely the government’s responsibility alone.”
“We want to bring back this festival,” Kastro said, “but all stakeholders need to share responsibility for human lives, which mean more than entertainment.”

Pakistani court to indict ex-PM Khan in contempt case today

• Ex-PM Imran Khan is charged with threatening woman judge during a rally speech
• Khan's aides say the legal cases against him are a response to his growing popularity

ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) will indict former Prime Minister Imran Khan today, Thursday, in a contempt of court case involving accusations he threatened a woman judge last month. 

During the last hearing of the case on September 8, the IHC said it was not satisfied with Khan’s response to charges he had threatened Zeba Chaudhry during an impassioned speech at an Islamabad rally on August 20.

In such a contempt case, the accused are required to tender an unconditional apology without any justification, clearly stating that they leave themselves at the mercy of the court, legal analysts say, as long as the accused do not want to contest the case.

The court has said Khan did not give a clear apology.

Former Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani and several members of Pakistani parliament have in the past been convicted of contempt of court and been disqualified from contesting elections for five years as per Pakistani law.

"Now what?," Khan told reporters as he left the courtroom on September 8 after the last hearing. "Now, they (the judges) have to decide."

The case against Khan relates to the ex-premier’s speech at a rally in which he said, according to a police report, that he “would not spare” Islamabad’s police chief and the female judge, alleging that his chief of staff, Dr. Shahbaz Gill, had been tortured in police custody after being arrested on charges of sedition. Police and prison authorities deny the allegation. Gill is now out on bail after being in custody for about a month.

“We have unanimously found the response of the respondent [Imran Khan] in the case unsatisfactory and charges will be framed [against him] after two weeks,” IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah had said after a three-hour hearing on September 8. 

According to a circular issued by the IHC, Thursday's contempt proceedings would take place at 02:30pm.

“[The] Islamabad administration and police will make security arrangements to maintain decorum in court,” the circular stated. 

Security has been beefed up within and outside the court premises, with the high court allowing only a 15-member legal team with Khan, 15 law officers and an equal number of journalists to cover proceedings of the case.

Khan's aides have described his legal woes as an attempt to knock him out technically after seeing his growing popularity among people since his ouster in April in a parliamentary no-confidence vote.

Pakistan calls for ‘lasting’ solution to Kashmir conflict at OIC meeting on UNGA margins

• OIC Secretary General reaffirms commitment to peaceful settlement of Kashmir dispute as per UNSC resolutions
• Kashmir has long been a flashpoint between India and Pakistan, both of which claim region in full but rule it in part

ISLAMABAD: Pakistani Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari drew the world’s attention to the ongoing conflict in Indian-administered Kashmir on Wednesday, calling for a “just and lasting” solution.

The dignitary was speaking at a meeting of the OIC Contact Group on Jammu and Kashmir on the margins of the 77th United Nations General Assembly Session in New York on Wednesday. The group reviewed the political and security environment in Kashmir Valley and what it called “the deteriorating humanitarian and human rights situation” there.

The Contact Group comprises Azerbaijan, Niger, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

OIC Secretary General Hissein Brahim Taha chaired the meeting and in his opening remarks reaffirmed the OIC’s commitment to a “peaceful settlement of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute in accordance with the relevant resolutions of the United Nations and the OIC Summits and Council of Foreign Ministers.”

He also presented a report on the implementation of an action plan agreed upon during the last meeting of the Contact Group in March 2022 in Islamabad.

Kashmir has long been a flashpoint between India and Pakistan, both of which claim all of the region but rule only in part.

Ties between the nuclear-armed rivals have been particularly strained since a suicide bombing of an Indian military convoy in Kashmir in 2019 that New Delhi says was carried out by Pakistan-based militants. The bombing led to India sending warplanes to Pakistan. Islamabad denies state complicity in any attacks in Indian-administered Kashmir.

In August 2019, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi withdrew Indian-administered Kashmir’s autonomy in order to tighten his grip over the territory, provoking outrage in Pakistan and the downgrading of diplomatic ties and suspension of bilateral trade.

Speaking at the Contact Group meeting, Foreign Minister Bhutto Zardari drew attention to “the worsening situation” in Kashmir since August 2019.

Indian security forces, he said, “continued to conduct cordon-and-search operations, put down protests violently, indiscriminately use pellet guns, imprison Kashmiri political leaders, abduct and torture children and women, and stage fake encounters.”

“The Foreign Minister stressed that durable peace and stability in South Asia would remain tense and fragile without a just and lasting solution to the Jammu and Kashmir dispute in accordance with United Nations Security Council resolutions and the wishes of the Kashmiri people,” the foreign office said in a statement.

The meeting of the Contact Group concluded with the adoption of a joint communiqué that “unequivocally reaffirmed the OIC’s position and resolutions on the Jammu and Kashmir dispute.”

OIC has 57 member countries, making it the second largest intergovernmental organization after the United Nations.

The OIC contact group on Jammu and Kashmir was established in 1994 to support the struggle of the people of Indian-administered Kashmir, including their right to self-determination, to voice the organization’s position, and coordinate joint actions on the dispute.

PCB donates earnings to flood victims from England’s first game in Pakistan in 17 years

• Rs1.3 million raised from first T20 match in Karachi, will be donated to PM’s Flood Relief Fund
• England cricket team arrived in Karachi on September 15 for first tour of Pakistan since 2005

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has said it will donate earnings from the first T20 match with England held this week to flood victims in Pakistan where a historic and intense monsoon and flash floods have killed nearly 1,600 people since mid-June.

England’s cricket team arrived in Karachi on September 15 for their first tour of Pakistan in 17 years, a lengthy absence brought about by security fears following attacks on international teams.

England are scheduled to play a seven-match T20 series in Pakistan. They won the first game of the tournament in Karachi on Monday.

“For the first T20 international match 1.3 million rupees were [raised] as gate money [ticket sales] and all this money will be deposited in the Prime Minister’s Flood Relief Fund,” PCB said in a statement on Wednesday.

PCB chief executive Faisal Hasnain said in a statement it was an “honor” for the PCB to make a contribution to flood aid.

England, who last toured Pakistan in 2005, play four matches in Karachi and three in Lahore before returning in December to play three tests in the second leg of the tour.

International teams have largely refused to tour Pakistan since an attack by militants on the Sri Lankan team bus in Lahore in 2009 killed six policemen and two civilians.

England pulled out of their Pakistan tour last year soon after New Zealand had abandoned their tour of the country over security concerns.

‘Never seen anything like this’: Angelina Jolie vows to rally world support for Pakistan flood aid

• Monsoons brought three times rain as Pakistan’s three-decade average this year, 1,600 people killed since mid-June
• Jolie thanks government and army for saving lives but says without sufficient aid, others “won’t make it” in next few weeks

ISLAMABAD: Hollywood actress and humanitarian Angelina Jolie, on a visit to Pakistan to meet people displaced by cataclysmic floods and raise international awareness, said on Wednesday she had “never seen anything like this before,” warning the world to act on climate change before it was too late.

A historic monsoon season brought about three times as much rain this year as Pakistan’s three-decade average, causing unprecedented flooding that scientists say was exacerbated by climate change. Around 1,600 people have been killed since mid-June and nearly 33 million people affected in the South Asian nation of 220 million. The floods have swept away homes, crops, bridges, roads and livestock. The government estimates damages could cross $30 billion.

“I’ve never seen anything like this before,” Jolie said in a video released by the Pakistan military after the actor visited the National Flood Response Coordination Center (NFRCC) in Islamabad on Wednesday.

Jolie was previously in Pakistan on humanitarian missions after an earthquake in 2005 and floods in 2010. This time she is on a trip with the International Rescue Committee, and visited and met with flood-affected people in the southern Sindh province and also attended a briefing about flood response and measures by government and military officials.

“I really cannot imagine what it feels like to be there,” she said in the video. “Often we speak of appeals, reliefs, and supports but this is something very very different. I think this is a real wake-up call to the world about where we are at.”

The actor said she would make all possible efforts to let the world know the scale of devastation in Pakistan and the life-saving support that was needed.

“I am absolutely with you in pushing the international community to do more,” the actor said. “Now we are in a situation like this, where the needs are so great and truly every effort is either a life or death for so many people”.

“I’ve seen those lives who were saved,” she said, adding that without sufficient aid, others “won’t be here in the next few weeks, they won’t make it.”

“They won’t make it, too many children, so malnourished and even if they make it through the next months, the winter coming and the destruction of the crops and the harsh reality,” Jolie said. “I am overwhelmed but I don’t feel its fair to say that because I am not living in this so I will just simply try to speak out and help.”

Hundreds of thousands of people displaced by the floods are still living in the open in Pakistan where stagnant floodwaters, spread over hundreds of kilometers, may take two to six months to recede. Already they have led to widespread cases of skin and eye infections, diarrhea, malaria, typhoid and dengue fever that officials say have killed at least 324 people.

United Nations Pakistan said malaria, typhoid and diarrhea cases were spreading quickly, adding 44,000 cases of malaria were reported this week in the southern province.

Pakistan’s ousted PM to launch anti-government movement from Saturday

Pakistan’s ousted PM to launch anti-government movement from Saturday

• Khan told his followers to wait for his final call while addressing the legal community in Lahore
• The former PM wants snap polls, though general elections are scheduled to be held in October 2023

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s former prime minister Imran Khan said on Wednesday he would launch an anti-government movement over the weekend while asking his supporters to get ready for his final call.

Khan, who was ousted from power in a no-confidence vote earlier this year and has called for early elections since then, made the statement while addressing the legal fraternity in Lahore.

Speaking on the occasion, he said he would launch the movement for the “real independence” of the country.

“My movement will start from Saturday,” he said. “You have to come out with me when I will give you the call to truly liberate this country.”

However, he did not share the detailed plan of the movement.

Last May, Khan led an anti-government march to Islamabad and gathered thousands of supporters in front of the parliament building. Most of his followers and workers arrived in the federal capital from Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces.

The former prime minister called off his protest after clashes between police and demonstrators which led to the arrest of hundreds of his supporters.

Khan has been seeking fresh elections since he does not accept the legitimacy of the current coalition government and says it was brought into power after his administration was toppled by international powers which resented his “independent foreign policy.”

General elections are scheduled to be held in Pakistan before October 12, 2023, or less than 60 days from the dissolution of the National Assembly which will take place on August 13, 2023.
