Four people are reported to have died and dozens of others injured after clashes erupted in the Hangu town and its surrounding areas of NWFP on January 9. According to The News, a mourning procession from Ustarzai, Ibarhimzai, Sherkot and Chakarkot villages was heading for the Hangu city despite a curfew. Sources said militants allegedly attacked the procession with rockets from the hilltops when it reached near Bahadur Banda, prompting an exchange of fire with the mourners. Consequently, four people were killed in the clashes, which were continuing till last reports came in. Police sources said both sides were using heavy weapons against each other. “Both sides are targeting each other’s positions with rockets and other heavy weapons and many houses have been damaged,” an unnamed official said. The areas where the clashes erupted included Charbagh, Gangyan, Serai Banda, Lakhtay Banda, Ibrahimzai, Bahadur Banda and city bazaar areas, the sources said. The official said that the number of casualties might be higher as the incident happened in the evening and there was no direct access to the area due to an electricity breakdown.

More than 200 protesters on January 26 demonstrated against Pakistan’s appointment of an administrator to oversee the headquarters of Jama’at-ud-Da’awa (JuD, the Lashkar-e-Toiba [LeT] front), The News reported. “Death to America”, “Death to Israel and Jews”, shouted the protesters, carrying banners and placards that read: “Cancel administrator’s appointment,” “Remove the ban on the Jamaatud Dawa” and “We condemn the UN resolution.” Abu Ehsan, a former JuD administrator, while criticizing the January 25-takeover said, “This is a wrong step. First the government, under American and Indian pressure, placed a ban through the UN and now the Punjab government has... We strongly condemn this action and ask the government to review its decision,” AFP reported. The provincial Government of Punjab has taken over the Muridke headquarters of the JuD, appointing an administrator to run the schools and medical facilities on the premises, and renaming it Punjab Welfare Institute, The Hindu reported. The Punjab Government on January 25 named Khakan Babar, a senior official in the provincial Government, as the chief administrator of the assets at the Markaz-e-Taiba, an extensive facility located outside the provincial capital Lahore. He will report to the Lahore District Commissioner. “(The administrator’s) job is to ensure that the schools and dispensaries in Muridke can continue to function, and at the same time ensure that the other purposes for which it was being used don’t function,” said Pervaiz Rashid, an adviser to Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif.

Personnel of the Frontier Corps (FC) had to be called in to maintain law and order in Quetta, capital of Balochistan, after fierce clashes erupted between Police and an angry mob following the killing of Chairman Hazara Democratic Party, Hussain Ali Yousufi of the Shia community, on January 26, The News reported. Yousufi, who was running a travel agency on the Dr Bano Road, was entering his office at 10:30am (PST) when some unidentified gunmen sprayed bullets on him with automatic weapons. The armed men later escaped from the incident site. At least 13 persons were injured when clashes among angry protestors, Police and traders took place on the Shahra-e-Iqbal and Jinnah Road. The traders and protestors used weapons and pelted stones at each other. The protesters also torched several vehicles, motorcycles and a bank on the Jinnah Road. Four vehicles, a commercial bank and two motorcycles were set ablaze as clashes continued for several hours. Police later claimed to have arrested 21 suspects, including three activists of a banned religious organization, on charges of killing Hussain Yousufi. AFP added that the banned Sunni militant group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) claimed responsibility for the killing in a telephone call to the local press club. “We claim responsibility for this attack,” said the caller, who identified himself as Ali Haider, a purported LeJ spokesman. Around 12 Hazaragi-speaking Shias have been killed in Quetta in about a month’s time, according to Daily Times.

Hundreds of students protested on January 27 as a Government official took over administrative control of the Jama’at-ud-Da’awa (JuD) headquarters in Muridke, according to The News. The protest, organised for the second day, came as a senior official from the Punjab Government, Khaqan Babar, started his job running the schools and hospital at the JuD headquarters. About 500 students from a school in the sprawling JuD compound in Muridke gathered outside the main office and chanted slogans against the Government. “The Government has occupied the school illegally,” they said. Witnesses said the protesters were school boys aged eight to 18, and students from a JuD-run madrassa (seminary). Protesters also gathered on the main highway linking provincial capital Lahore to the national capital Islamabad. They blocked the traffic for about half an hour before dispersing peacefully, police said. They carried banners and placards condemning “Indian pressure” and demanding that the Government lift a ban on the JuD.

According to Nepal News, the Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (Unified CPN-Maoist) launched its protest movement from August 7 as its ultimatum to the Government to address the issue of civilian supremacy vis-à-vis the President's move reinstating the dismissed Chief of Army Staff (CoAS), General Rookmangud Katawal, expired. As part of its protest movement, the Maoists obstructed the day’s parliamentary proceedings saying the 22-party ruling coalition ignored the issues it has raised. Speaking at the start of the House sitting, Deputy Leader of the Unified CPN-Maoist in the Parliament, Narayan Kaji Shrestha, said his party was forced to declare a stir as the ruling coalition had failed to fulfill its commitment to address those issues within one month. He said the party would wage the protest movement in Parliament and the streets and that it could well turn into the 'third people's movement'.

Two Punjabis were allegedly victims of target killing in the evening of August 31 as violence broke out in various Baloch-dominated Districts after another Baloch nationalist leader’s body was recovered, Daily Times reported. The Balochistan National Movement (BNM) Secretary General Khalil Ahmed Baloch said the party’s central joint secretary Rasool Baksh Mengal was found dead in Lasbela District. Mengal was allegedly detained by intelligence agencies from the Uthal area on August 23. Baloch said the recent target killing of Baloch nationalist leaders had forced the party to believe that intelligence agencies had killed all the missing persons of Balochistan. Rasool Mengal’s killing reportedly led to a series of protests all over the Balochistan province.
