'Frustrated' Pak counter-terrorism authority chief resigns | Pakistan's anti-terrorism authority chief has resigned citing personal reasons. According to reports, Director General (DG) National Counter Terrorism Authority
(NACTA) Tariq Pervez has submitted his resignation to Prime Minister Yousuf Raza
Gilani, who is yet to accept it. "I am waiting for the acceptance of my resignation
by the office of the prime minister. As soon as I will be informed about it, I
will relinquish the charge of my office," The News quoted Pervez, as saying. Pervez
denied to disclose the reasons behind his sudden resignation, but sources in NACTA
said that he was frustrated over being prevented from carrying forward his work
that he had initiated while he served as the Federal Investigation Agency's (FIA)
Director General. "While in the FIA, he developed a system, which was extremely
helpful in tracing down any person who had a record or was suspected of having
any contacts with any terror or banned outfits all over the country, whenever
he/she might make a contact with somebody. This system was put into practice and
proved to be quite effective and beneficial for the law-enforcing agencies engaged
in anti-terror efforts," sources revealed. "However, since he was re-hired on
a contract basis to head the NACTA, he was effectively rendered useless, sitting
in a posh office and doing nothing. One can understand that nothing could be more
frustrating for a person like Tariq Pervez," they added. |
