Curious Case Of Davis, Dual Nationals In Government and Friends

Curious Case Of Davis, Dual Nationals In Government and Friends

This curious case in Pakistan with the "contractors" and "diplomats" being exposed is becoming more intersting.   With 45 more arrests in connection to the Raymond Davis case and a "curious" mention of a strategic SWAP involving Davis and imprisoned Dr Aafia Siddiqui, as well just to spice things up, but that swap would never have gone ahead, that was a diversion.

Also the recently arrested Aaron Mark Dehaven, has been refused bail for another 14 days, whist investigations continue.

What have all of these got in common, what is being slowly exposed here?

Oh and casually mentioned was that there are Dual citizens sitting in prominent positions within Pakistan's national assembly, some of them holding high profile portfolios, the Government is being quiet on this and maybe are in collusion and have something to hide?

In a snip from Dawn, a Pakistan online newspaper.

"ISLAMABAD: The law enforcement agencies arrested 45 individuals for staying in constant contact with Raymond Davis, a CIA contractor who shot dead two Pakistanis in Lahore last month, DawnNews reported on Monday.

The individuals had been arrested from Lahore, Karachi and Peshawar and their contact information was taken from Davis’ mobile phone. Investigations were underway."

and then, regarding the the Dehaven case, from source.

"PESHAWAR: A court in northwest Pakistan Monday rejected the bail application of an American said to have been working for a private security company who is accused of overstaying his visa.

Aaron Mark De Haven has been rejected because he had no legal documents," public prosecutor Javed Ali told AFP in Peshawar.working for security contractor Catalyst Services, providing security and accommodation to foreigners working on development projects in the region.
remanded De Haven in custody for 14 days and on Monday, a magistrate rejected defence lawyer Sardar Raza’s argument that he should be freed on bail because he had no prior criminal record.

Police say his Pakistani visa had expired in October, The US embassy in Islamabad said Saturday that consular representatives had met De Haven, "as they would with any private American citizen".

Then i came across this article which states there are "DUAL" citizens within Pakistan's National Assembly.

and if you read it further you'll see that they are from countries with very VESTED interests.

Gov Quiet on MNA's Holding Dual Nationality

ISLAMABAD: On Monday, the government once again avoided answering in the National Assembly a question about the number of sitting parliamentarians possessing dual nationalities.

It was probably the fourth time that a question was asked on the subject, but the government remained silent like on previous occasions.

In the last session — the 28th sitting of the NA — no reply was given to this particular question.

However, on Monday, the government said the requisite information could be obtained from law, justice and parliamentary affairs division. The question was asked by Humair Hayat Rokhri of PML-N.

When Dawn contacted the National Assembly Secretariat, an official said the house only managed a brief bio-data of MNAs, which they provided at the inception of a parliament. And providing the resume was not even mandatory.
"Yes, there are a few sitting members who posses dual nationalities, but they have not shared the information with the secretariat," the official said.

Whenever there was a foreign trip, the house needed passports of lawmakers for necessary visa process, but there were some who simply said they would manage their travel documents by themselves, the official said.
Unlike many countries of the world, in Pakistan people having double nationalities can become a member of parliament.

Answering the second part of the question, in which the list of government officials having dual nationalities was sought, the house was informed that Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) chairman Dr Mohammad Yaseen, a BS-22 officer, was an Australian national.

Other top officials of the PTA having dual nationalities are: Mr Waseem Tauqir, Director General, (USA) and Mr Talat Mehmood Abbasi (UK).
Mr Iftikhar Hussain Arif, Chairman, National Language Authority, another Grade-22 officer responsible for promoting the national language, has the UK nationality.

In the Revenue Division two officers who have dual nationalities are: Deputy Collector Basit Hussain (UK), and Additional Commissioner Sajjad Taslim (UK).

Three top officials of Auditor General Office hold Canadian nationality.

They are: Deputy Auditor General Muhammad Akhtar Buland Rana, PIFRA Project Director Suhail Ahmad, Director Finance, Multan, Syed Iqbal Mehmood Rizvi.

Mr Asghar Khan, a joint director in the audit house, is a UK national.

In the Ministry of Communication (National Highway Authority) Assistant Director Nadeem Qasim Khan holds a Canadian passport.

In the Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis (Overseas Pakistanis Foundation), Director Finance Muhammad Yar Bhutto is a US national.

Deputy Census Commissioner (Population Census Organisation) Muhammad Ismail Leghari holds a Canadian passport.

Minister in-charge of the Establishment Division further told the house that similar information had also been sought from other government departments which included defence, commerce, culture, economic affairs, education, environment, finance, housing and works, industries & production, Kashmir affairs, planning commission, ports & shipping, railways, scientific & technological research division, frontier region, water & power, women development and both secretariats of parliament house.

As soon as the information was available, it would be put before the house, he said." (end Snip)

This admission that there are many dual citizens shows a clear case of conflicting and subversive interests, and influence that may not be in the best interests of the people.

with drone attacks and "terrorist" influences in Pakistan, i will leave this post with a quote from David Ben Gurion the first Israeli Prime Minister, as printed in the Jewish Chronicle, 9 August 1967:

""The world Zionist movement should not be neglectful of the dangers of Pakistan to it. And Pakistan now should be its first target, for this ideological State is a threat to our existence. And Pakistan, the whole of it, hates the Jews and loves the Arabs. This lover of the Arabs is more dangerous to us than the Arabs themselves. For that matter, it is most essential for the world Zionism that it should now take immediate steps against Pakistan. Whereas the inhabitants of the Indian peninsula are Hindus whose hearts have been full of hatred towards Muslims, therefore, India is the most important base for us to work there from against Pakistan. It is essential that we exploit this base and strike and crush Pakistanis, enemies of Jews and Zionism, by all disguised and secret plans."

This leaves NOTHING to the imagination.

By Deception thou shall do war.
