Zardari to meet Sharif

Zardari to meet Sharif to discuss future of ruling coalition

PPP chairman Asif Ali Zardari will hold a crucial meeting this week with his ally PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif that could decide the future of Pakistan's ruling coalition, which is under strain over its failure to reinstate judges deposed by President Pervez Musharraf.

Zardari and Sharif will meet here on August 5 against the backdrop of serious concerns expressed by PML-N leaders about the future of the nearly five-month-old alliance.

Reports have also suggested that the Pakistan People's Party has initiated back channel contacts with the opposition PML-Q on forming an alliance in case the PML-N pulls out of the coalition.

Senior PML-N leader Khwaja Asif, a close aide of Sharif, told reporters yesterday that his party was "finding it difficult" to stay in the coalition. However, he also acknowledged that quitting the alliance could make matters worse.

Asif described the coalition's status as "grim" and said there is a limit on how long the PML-N could put up with the current state of affairs. Pakistan is facing a threat of Talibanisation and the PPP is "aggravating matters" by denying the deposed judges their due role, he said.

It was unfortunate that the PML-N was caught between a rock and a hard place on the issue of solidarity of the coalition and fighting the militancy that is threatening Pakistan, Asif said.

Meanwhile, the PML-N has convened a joint meeting of its central working committee and parliamentary party in Lahore tomorrow to discuss the prevailing political situation and the party's future line of action. The meeting will be chaired by Sharif.

Afghanistan, Pakistan agree 'to re-engage' to fight extremism

Leaders of the eight-nation South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation attending a summit in Colombo meet at the national parliament yesterday.

The leaders of Afghanistan and Pakistan agreed yesterday to "re-engage" in the fight against Islamic extremism, a joint statement said, after ties had soured following an attack on the Indian embassy in Kabul.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Pakistan Premier Yousuf Raza Gilani met in Colombo on the sidelines of a South Asian summit, according to a joint statement released here.

"The two sides agreed to coordinate their efforts to stop cross-border terrorism," the statement said.

"At the suggestion of Pakistan, the Afghan side agreed to re-engage on all bilateral and multilateral forums," it added.

Karzai directly accused Pakistan's intelligence agency of involvement in the July 7 suicide attack on India's embassy in Kabul. The blast killed more than 60 people, including two Indian diplomats.

A week later Kabul announced it would boycott a series of meetings with Islamabad in protest.

Islamabad has denied its Inter-Services Intelligence was involved in the attack, a charge also made by New Delhi and, reportedly, US government officials.

Karzai and Gilani had also agreed after their "cordial" breakfast meeting that their foreign ministers would meet over ways to build "close and constructive engagement" between the neighbours, the statement said.

The aim was to "build confidence and develop a common strategy at the political, military and intelligence levels in collaboration with their coalition partners and Nato/Isaf," it said.

Nato's International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) has around 52,000 troops in Afghanistan, helping the government to fight attacks by insurgents that officials say are heavily supported by extremist elements in Pakistan.

The Afghan government says the fight against the rebels should be tackled at its roots in Pakistan instead of Afghanistan becoming a battlefield.

On Saturday Afghan President Hamid Karzai said here terrorism is spreading "like wild fire" in South Asia, particularly in Pakistan, and receiving institutional support.

"In Pakistan, terrorism and its sanctuaries are gaining a deeper grip as demonstrated by the tragic assassination of Benazir Bhutto," Karzai said at the opening of a regional summit, referring to the dead opposition leader.

Terrorism is the most "menacing" challenge faced by South Asia, home to 1.5 billion people in eight countries, he said.

"We need collective action to wipe out terrorism in the region," added Karzai, whose government is battling a Taliban rebel-led insurgency and whose relations with neighbouring Pakistan have been going steadily downhill in the past few months.

His comments came as Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani sat in the audience for the inaugural session of the two-day summit of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc).

Afghanistan has repeatedly accused Pakistan of clandestinely supporting Taliban rebels.

Karzai last month blamed Pakistan's intelligence service for a deadly suicide attack on the Indian embassy in Kabul that killed 60 people -- a charge Islamabad has denied.

Gilani also referred to terrorism as the main challenge facing the region, a sentiment echoed by other Saarc leaders at the session, and condemned the attack against the Indian embassy.

The Pakistan premier was due to hold separate talks with his Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh later Saturday to discuss the strained peace process between the two countries.

Tensions between rivals India and Pakistan are seen overshadowing the summit aimed at fostering greater regional economic cooperation in the poor region.

India has also blamed "elements" in Pakistan -- by which it refers to the state spy agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) -- for the attack on its Kabul embassy.

Democracy in Pakistan

Parties must seize the opportunity

Great circumspection must be exercised in welcoming the Pakistan Supreme Court’s decision to nullify President Pervez Musharraf’s reference against Chief Justice Iftikar Chaudhary. The gumption displayed by the court in asserting its institutional independence against a dictatorial regime cannot be overemphasised.

But given Pakistan’s peculiar political situation, this victory could well turn out to be pyrrhic. Sure, military dictatorships have historically been the bane of Pakistani democracy. It would, nevertheless, be foolish to ignore the fact that the country currently faces a far more pernicious adversary: a reactionary and terroristic strain of political Islam.

Unchecked ascendancy of radical Islam in Pakistan would, among other things, spell a huge setback for the already wobbly war on terror. The best bet against such a clear and present danger is, ironically enough, the Pakistani army.

But considering that the country’s security apparatus has very little political accountability, the possibility that it might leave the country’s mainstream politicians in the lurch in the latter’s battle against radical Islam cannot entirely be ruled out.

What could actually effect such an unfortunate turn of events is the likely legal challenge that mainstream democratic players — their resolve bolstered by the independent judgement of the court — could successfully mount against Musharraf’s decision to get himself re-elected by an outgoing puppet Parliament.

A cornered security-intelligence apparatus — not yet fully cleansed of radical Islamist elements — could then not only go slow in its battle against Islamist terror, but actually aid and abet them surreptitiously.

The point is not that this sequence of events is inevitable. However, it is not completely improbable given the limitations of liberal democracy in Pakistan. Mainstream electoral politics has, for the most part, been an alibi for the country’s traditional elite to preserve its vested interests.

That has created a small, though significant, space for radical Islam. Unless Pakistan’s democratic parties change their ways, the forces of reaction and authoritarianism will engulf South Asia.
