Pakistan government's claims on not allowing anti-India elements to operate from its soil were exposed when its pro-Khalistan face, Gopal Singh Chawla, was given free access to mingle with Indian pilgrims at Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Kartapur Sahib complex on January 5, reports The Times of India. As per the report, Chawla was allowed to meet the Indian devotees during the celebrations organised by Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (PSGPC) to mark the birth anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh. According to sources, Pakistan's Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB), which - as per intelligence sources - is under the direct command of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), allowed Chawla to lead the functions, address the gathering and meet Indian pilgrims. "Chawla has close ties with terror mastermind Hafiz Saeed and many other militants for his anti-India ranting, so he is indispensable for ISI that uses him as an anti-India Sikh face of Pakistan, and he has been accordingly awarded with various benefits," a source said. According to sources, Chawla had delivered a hate speech against India during the function. Chawla was also present at Gurdwara Nankana Sahib on January 4, during the visit of Islamic scholars and religious leaders, aimed at restoring the confidence among Pakistani Sikhs following the protest and stoning of the Gurdwara.

Half of the Lahore city (Lahore District) of Punjab Province in Pakistan is no more under surveillance of the Punjab Safe City Authority (PSCA) mainly due to financial issues following a ‘tug of war’ between the police and bureaucracy to get control of the PKR billion mega project, reports Dawn. Official sources say almost 50 per cent (4,000) CCTV cameras are offline at a time when Lahore prepares to host some games of the Pakistan Super League and possibly the Bangladesh cricket team matches. An unnamed senior official said almost half of the city’s leading roads, sensitive installations and government buildings were now out of the range/coverage of the PSCA cameras. “It is a matter of serious concern that the PSCA cameras are not functioning even at prime locations like Faisal Chowk, Regal Chowk, Ali Hajvery shrine and surroundings of the Lahore High Court where terror attacks had been carried out in the past, “the official said.

An investigation report by Shikarpur Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Dr Muhammad Rizwan Ahmed Khan on January 16 accused PPP lawmaker and Sindh Energy Minister Imtiaz Ahmed Sheikh of patronising criminals and using them for political and financial gains, reports Daily Times.The report comes in the backdrop of the Sindh Government’s decision to replace the provincial Police Chief, Inspector General (IG) Dr Kaleem Imam, citing “compelling reasons”. Earlier, on December 6, the Sindh Government had also tried to transfer SSP Dr Rizwan to the Establishment Division, saying his services were no longer required. Subsequently, the SSP had approached the Sindh High Court against the move, which suspended the notification. Meanwhile, Dr Rizwan had also taken the matter to the newly created Provincial Public Safety and Police Complaints Commission, saying he was “surprisingly surrendered from province of Sindh without any prior notice, complaint or inquiry”.At the time, the IG had written a letter to the Sindh chief secretary, complaining about not being informed of the decision in advance and raising concern that such moves “demoralised the police”.
