There have been hundreds of militant attacks on Pak police in
which thousands of policemen have died.
There are loads of video clips available in which Taliban behead
and shoot police men. There are no videos of army personnel being actually
killed by Taliban not even one.
Police of Pakistan is under heavy attacks by the unleashed
militants of Pak army for many reasons one of the reasons is that whenever
police is attacked the outside world takes it for an attack on the security
forces western countries are unaware of the divide between army and the police
in Pakistan and the other Muslim countries Whenever police is attacked by the
militants it gives an impression to the west that Poor Pakistan is suffering at
the hands of the militants and that this state must be helped in the fight
against militancy most of the time when Pakistan army is counting on the dead
personal they combine the fatalities of army and the police together to overplay
the sacrifices of the army and to downplay the sacrifices of the police.
The truth is that thousands of innocent policemen have lost
their lives at the brutal hands of army trained militants while as fatalities
in army is a lie, yes army personnel have lost their lives but most of them
died fighting along with Taliban’s not against them .Yet some liberal army
personnel are also killed by isi and added to the long list of sacrifices of
Pakistan.
The 2nd reason why police is heavily targeted by the militants
is because Pak army and the other religious extremists are bent upon
transforming the state of Pakistan in to khilafat (Islamic emarates) their role
model is Saudi .In saudia religious police named Mutawas are in full control of
the state they are unleashed by the royals on unarmed innocent citizens these
religious police carries out all the duties of the police men as well as
interfering with the personnel lives of the people .these fanatics march
in the streets on the roads and everywhere making the lives of moderate people
a hell and making things as easy as piece of cake for terrorists. Pakistani
generals dare to dream the same system where there will be no need for the
current police set up but Taliban’s would march in the streets to stop people
from doing bad things and promote virtue
West should know that there is a world of difference between
police and army of Pakistan.police is poor but not infected with terrorism as
our army is.There is corruption because the deliberately kept
corrupt systems of Pakistan leaves it with no choice .
Pak police gets a very low salary which is not even
enough for a healthy diet, our traffic police looks in rags you should see a
Pakistani policeman standing on a traffic signal controlling heavy traffic in
scorching heat with clouds of smoke on his face working 12 hours. They look so
poor that I have deliberately made mistakes to offer them bribe, with poverty
leaking from their dusty faces these gentlemen still hesitantly manage to
refuse me with a humble smile and tell me to drive carefully in future.
Talking about militant attacks, , one of the main state
institutions under attack is the police. Police training schools and camps and
police checkpoints have been the most frequent targets of militant attacks.
In one of the attack the terrorists accompanying the suicide
bomber apparently wanted to penetrate the well-protected ISI building. At
least, four men with rifles first stepped out of the car and opened fire on
security guards deployed outside the agency building. As the security personnel
offered tough resistance by returning the fire, the attackers threw a hand
grenade then; the car bomber suddenly changed his direction and rammed his
vehicle into the Rescue 15 police office hardly a few yards away. Killing
scores of police men
This kind of machinations lead people to think that the real
target was isi but the militants satisfied themselves by attacking the police
as the attack on isi was a bit harder.
Pak police is deprived of good training and deprived of
defensive equipment.. Thanks to ISI Pak Taliban are ways well trained and well
equipped then the valiant Police of Pakistan. In any security set up the
police personnel are made to stand before the military personnel. Yet, it is
the military, which is provided all the defensive equipment.
At the same time, the military forces on the police
resources to provide security to the military officials and the sites so that
they can bear the first brunt of a so called militants attacks on army.
However in fighting the militancy, the military is controlling resources .
Police has the responsibility and the army has the authority.
issues like control over data sources, such as mobile
networks or Nadra, is kept under the control of the military, with police
personnel having to access to it any such information should be via military
agencies.
According to the police when they are investigating a crime they
are not provided with any technical support they have no approach to national
data restoration authority (NADRA)They have no access to phone and mobile
records
It is very difficult to secure official evidence gathered
on each of the attacks. There is also reluctance on the part of the civilian
government to share the real facts because of the fear of isi.
There is no law in the country which can force them to do
so This is of course a highly unfair distribution of responsibility and
authority between the two.
As the milancy has grown, it should be the institution of
the police that should be strengthened to cope with it. However, military
has , ensured that most aid coming for fighting militancy is channeled to the
military. . The police personnel are being exposed to exceptionally high levels
of risks without being adequately trained or equipped by the Pakistani or Western
governments.
The access to information on militant attacks becomes even
more difficult to secure for civilian governments as well as for independent
researchers. it is military rather than the police controlling the
information /results and the militants
Any attempts to securing that information is easily turned down
as a threat to national security. In many of these attacks, allegedly
ex-military personnel have been involved.
Pak Establishment is least interested in reforms of police
department There was a report in English daily that more than 30000
bullet proof vests sent by USA for police department are lying in the
airport they have not been collected by the authorities since
custom clearance (payment) is required , if they were for army they would be
collected in hrs and customs officers would not dare ask for the clearance
duty. Since Pak customs wanted police to pay duty so they avoided collection.
Now that rangers have are spread all over Karachi and in other
parts of Pakistan police is only there to carry out their orders and take all
the blames of rangers (security forces)wrongdoings. Police has no choice but to
obey the rangers
Police in Pakistan is a victim rather than a villain. It has
been victimized and tamed by the army Now its completely subservient to
security forces
Pakistani police is not infected with militancy and
anti-Americanism this is evident by the video filmed by Raymond Davis when he
was 1st taken to the police station in Lahore the police personnel who could
hardly speak English offered him drinks joked with him they were enjoying his
presence one of the police man asked his name again and again and did not get
it while Raymond Davis kept saying Raymond, Raymond …… Ok make it diamond
another policeman said as they laughed heartily
In 2011there were reports that few high ranking police officials
took dinner with US consulate members
The establishment was so much angry with them as if they have
dined with Eman al zahwari. News of their suspension also circulated in the
media. Such are the police officers who are later killed and added to the long
list of sacrifices.
In Pakistan hundreds of police officers and policemen have lost
their lives at the hands of terrorists.Pakistani courts and ISI endup with no
actions against them.Now Pak Police has no choice but to cooperate with ISI and
militants.
