Digital Desk | United Nations, Oct 8 (IANS) Islamabad has lost control of the Frankenstein's monster of terrorism it created, which has returned to stalk Pakistan, and it is acknowledged by its leaders, India has said, calling for international action against sponsors of terrorism. Pakistan has presented itself as a frontline state in combating terrorism and as a victim, while masking the fact that the Frankenstein's (monster) the Pakistani state has created and lost control over have moved from wreaking havoc in neighbouring countries to doing the same in Pakistan, Raghoo Puri, a first secretary in India's UN mission, said on Wednesday (local time). This was exposed recently by a provincial chief minister of Pakistan, and may I jog the memory of colleagues to an interview in 2018 by her father and former prime minister of Pakistan, exposing this dark secret, he said. You cannot run with the hares and hunt with the hounds, Puri warned. Reality never works like that. Puri was responding to an attack on India by Pakistan's Deputy Permanent Representative Usman Jadoon at the General Assembly's Sixth Committee, which deals with legal matters. Maryam Nawaz, the chief minister of Pakistan's Punjab Province, said last month in Lahore, Unfortunately, the threat Punjab, a province of 130 million, faces comes less from my neighbouring countries and more from my neighbouring provinces. Earlier this month, she undercut Pakistan's claims about freedom fighters, saying terrorism has no classification, and anyone involved in terrorism is a terrorist regardless of their cause. In an interview to Dawn newspaper in 2018, her father Nawaz Sharif, a former prime minister of Pakistan, acknowledged his country's role in the 26/11 terrorist attack on Mumbai. Militant organisations are active. Call them non-state actors; should we allow them to cross the border and kill 150 people in Mumbai? he had said. Puri did not name the two Nawazes. He lampooned Pakistan's claims about victory against India during Operation Sindoor launched by New Delhi in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack as delusional. If bombed-out airfields and cratered runways look like victory to Pakistan, they are, of course, welcome to enjoy it, he said. Pakistani representative's desperation to falsely tout the Pakistani military's narrative on the outcome of Operation Sindoor was in keeping with its campaign of disinformation and misinformation, he said. Puri, who gave the response, is a biotechnology graduate of Panjab University with an MBA from Management Development Institute, Gurgaon. He belongs to the 2014 batch of the Indian Foreign Service and has served in India's Berlin Embassy. When Pakistan came back with a second response to his exercise of the right of reply and regurgitated its usual arguments, Puri dismissed it curtly: Pakistan believes in the circular economy of words and narratives. If this much effort had actually been made in countering terrorism rather than narrative building, misinformation, and disinformation, the world would have been a better place, he said. But nothing more can be expected from a Form 47 government, he said, referring to the military's control of Pakistan's government exercised by manipulating that election document to install Shehbaz Sharif as its frontman prime minister. In his first response, Puri dismissed Pakistan's claims about the treatment of minorities in India, and said it was ironic the terrorists it supports target Indians based on their religion. The victims in Pahalgam were not asked about their political orientation; they were asked about their religion, he said. It is therefore deeply ironic that Pakistan speaks of combating religious hatred while allowing the conditions that enable it to persist and thrive, especially by fomenting cross-border terrorism, he said. In last year's Pahalgam attack by Lashkar-e-Taiba proxy, The Resistance Front, the terrorists identified Hindu and Christian tourists by questioning them before killing them. Puri drew attention to Pakistan's diversionary tactics to draw attention away from its support of terrorists, citing the case of Pakistan raising the reward for the capture of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Masood Azhar from Pakistani Rs 50 lakh to Rs 70 lakh. Pakistan glosses over its state support for terrorism by announcing enhanced rewards for apprehending UN-listed head of Jaish-e-Mohammed, terrorist and mastermind of several attacks against my country, he said. When the media can reach Masood Azhar and get confirmation from him about the success of Operation Sindoor, surely the Pakistani state knows his whereabouts, he said. Azhar had lamented in a viral video that his family had been orn to pieces during the Operation Sindoor attack on one of his camps in Bahawalpur. Just a few months ago, Pakistani representatives used this forum to call the Jaish-e-Mohammed a defunct organisation, Puri said. The world has seen the script play earlier, and we are clear-eyed that this time also it is going to be no different. Puri said, When terrorist groups are allowed to operate under state political power, international commitments become meaningless, and when perpetrators are provided safe havens, the victims of terrorism are denied justice. The world has not forgotten 9/11, and where its perpetrators, including Osama bin Laden, were caught,/; he said. Bin Laden, whose al-Qaeda carried out the 9/11 attacks on New York and the Pentagon 25 years ago, was found by US Navy SEALs in a house near the Pakistan Military Academy in Abbottabad. The world has not forgotten 26/11, when Pakistani terrorists killed 166 people in 2008 in Mumbai, he said. The world has not forgotten Pahalgam. The world is aware of Pakistan's financial support to terrorism, as also, the FATF plenary meeting coming up soon, Puri said. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF), which monitors terrorism funding and sanctions countries for it, is to hold its plenary meeting in Paris from October 26 to 30.

Rs 9,802 Cr metrolite dream returned to J&K: Sanjay Sapru demands answers
Srinagar, Oct 03: Congress leader Sanjay Sapru has questioned the return and rejection of the Jammu and Srinagar Metrolite proposals from New Delhi, saying the projects have lost nearly a decade since they were first proposed, while public money was spent on preparing Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) and the estimated cost continued to rise. Projects worth Rs 9,802 crore remained stuck since 2017 and have now been returned and rejected. Public money was consumed, valuable years were lost and the cost of the projects mounted with every passing year, Sapru said. Revisiting the history of the projects, Sapru said the original 2017 heavy metro proposal envisaged a 58-km network at an estimated cost of Rs 15,881 crore but was subsequently rejected by the Centre. Fresh DPRs were thereafter prepared by RITES Ltd, Gurgaon, in 2023 under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs Metrolite Guidelines of 2019. The proposed Srinagar corridor, he said, stretched 25 km from HMT to Indira Nagar with 24 stations at an estimated cost of Rs 5,733 crore, up from Rs 4,892 crore in 2021. The Jammu corridor covered 23 km from Bantalab to Bari Brahmana through 22 stations at an estimated cost of Rs 4,069 crore. Sapru said that despite the preparation of fresh DPRs, both proposals remained pending with the Ministry from 2023 and were eventually sent back without final approval, leaving the projects without a definite implementation timeline. He also questioned the expenditure incurred on preparing the DPRs and related exercises. According to him, around Rs 8.50 crore was spent on DPR preparation, apart from expenditure on TA/DA and official exposure visits. He recalled that between 2016 and 2021, visits were undertaken to metro systems in Delhi, Kochi and Lucknow, while experts from the Japan International Cooperation Agency also visited Jammu and Srinagar to assess a proposal that had earlier been conceived for Japanese funding. Kochi made its metro operational in less than five years. Some may offer excuses in the name of disturbances, but the real question is why the project could not move forward despite nearly a decade having passed since its conception, Sapru said. The Congress leader said the delay had also resulted in a significant increase in the estimated cost of the Srinagar project, which rose by around Rs 840 crore in two years. Sapru said the issue was not limited to the fate of the two proposed projects but also involved the public expenditure incurred during the process and the opportunity cost of delaying a mass-transit system for Jammu and Srinagar. He said the estimated Rs 9,802-crore projects now required clarity on their future, including whether fresh proposals would be prepared and whether the Metrolite concept would be revived. The people of Jammu and Kashmir have already paid the price in lost time, public expenditure and cost escalation. There must now be clarity on what happens to the projects, the money already spent and the years lost, Sapru said.

ED searches TDI Group premises in Manesar land scam probe
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Oct 2 (IANS) The Directorate of Enforcement (ED), Chandigarh Zonal Office, has conducted search operations at business and residential premises linked to Ravinder Taneja, Chairperson of the TDI Group and Managing Director of several group companies, in connection with the ongoing Gurgaon (Manesar) land scam investigation under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002. The searches were conducted as part of the money laundering investigation arising from a first information report (FIR) registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The TDI Group has been under investigation in the case over its alleged transactions with Atul Bansal and the ABWIL-led group of companies during the period under scrutiny. According to the ED, the investigation has revealed that more than 400 acres of state-notified land in Manesar, Naurangpur and Lakhnoula villages, earmarked for acquisition in 2007, were allegedly purchased by private builders and intermediaries from farmers at low prices due to apprehensions of acquisition by the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC). The agency alleged that the land acquisition process was subsequently allowed to lapse, the acquisition award was dropped, and the land was later sold at substantially higher prices, resulting in significant profits. The ED stated that the role of the TDI Group, led by Ravinder Taneja, has been identified as that of one such intermediary in the alleged transactions. According to the investigation, during the land acquisition period between 2005 and 2007, the TDI Group allegedly used three companies, namely Indo Asian Construction Co. Pvt. Ltd., NCR Properties Pvt. Ltd. and Divya Jyoti Enterprises Pvt. Ltd., to purchase nearly 33 acres of land from farmers and subsequently sell it to the Atul Bansal group at a profit. During the searches, which continued for more than three days at locations in New Delhi and Mohali, officials reportedly recovered records related to alleged irregularities and illegalities in other projects, which are being examined further. The ED stated that dozens of project records, files, digital devices, computers, hard disks, servers and luxury vehicles identified as alleged proceeds of crime were seized during the search operations. The agency said examination of the seized records, assets and financial affairs of TDI Group companies is under way and will form part of the ongoing investigation.
