Internationally designated hard core Terrorist Hafiz Sayeed and his militant candidates badly lose in Pak elections

While the popular international cricketer Imran Khan and his party is all set to form the government of Tehrike Insaf Party in Pakistan , though with the support of some other political party preferably the Pakistan Peoples’ Party of Bilawal Bhutto and become prime minister there is one good news that the chief of the Jammait Ul Dawa and an internationally declared hard core terrorist Hafiz Sayeed and his candidates have not won in a single seat thus having been completely rejected by the electorates of Pakistan being considered as a good sign in the so called democratic election process in Pakistan.

The United States of America had already expressed its serious reservations, apprehensions and disenchantment over the participation of these terrorists and terror outfits and had warned the Pak administration of possible consequences in case they win the elections. But as was not expected, the electorates of Pakistan have completely rejected them as not a single candidate of infamous dreaded terrorist Hafiz Sayeed responsible for the Mumbai attack and subsequent 161 killings including the internationally designated terrorist in the high alert wanted list of US and UN have won at the hustings.

This is a very welcome news for the US, India and even Pakistan as had they won and entered the Pakistan General Assembly they would have influenced the Pakistan’s foreign policy against india and US and would have been more closer to the political power at the helm including the Army.

It may be recalled that the hard core terrorist Hafiz Sayeed and the leader of the Harkat Ul Muzahiddeen Fazrul Rehman Khalili and many more had made their good number of hard core terrorist candidates contest under different organisations called Allah ho Akbar etc as the Pakistan Election Commission has not accorded recognition and permission to the most infamous Jamaait Ul Dawa or Jarkat Ul Mujahiddeen etc to contest, but all lost, many of them even losing their security deposits. Even the Pakistan’s politicians had raised an alarm few days ago over these large number of members of the militant organisations contesting the general elections.

As per the senior journalist based in Islamabad Imtiaz Ahmed many of the hardcore militants including those belonging to the Jamaait Ul Dava and the Tehrike Labbaik were permitted by the PAK election Commission to contest the polls after their names were removed from.the fourth schedule – a list of proscribed individuals who are suspected of terrorism or sectarianism under the Pakistan’s terror laws.

The PML- N leaders and the leaders of Awami league had raised outright objection saying that hundreds of such millitant candidates are contesting from various assembly seats which may doom the future of Pakistan, if they are elected. The leader of PML-N wondered how these militants could manage to clear their names from the list of hard core terrorists who were banned from participating in any democratic elections in Pakistan.

Even Washigton expressed its severe and serious concern over the participation of individuals affiliated to the Lashkare Tayyeba and conveyed its strong apprehension to Islamabad.

The Election Commission of Pakistan had established 83,307 polling stations and about 7 lac 70 thousand police and army personels were involved to maintain the law and order during the general elections in Pakistan.

Meanwhile, the internationally popular cricketer and former Pakistan cricket captain and president of the Tehrike Insaf Party Imran Khan is all set to become the prime minister of Pakistan which was his long cherished dream.

Married five times and having played 88 international test matches Imran Khan’s party is the single largest winning political outfit having secured 117 seats individual near to the majority of 137 .
