Despite the participation of 12 religious parties in the electoral battle this year, the far-right groups managed to secure only 5,203,285 (9.58 per cent) of the total 54,319,922 votes polled across the country as most of them saw a decline in their vote bank when compared to the 2013 general election, Dawn reported on August 1.The highest votes in favour of religious parties were cast in Punjab (2,704,856 votes) but that contributed to only 7.98pc of the province’s overall vote bank — the lowest among all provinces — as per the preliminary results released by the Election Commission of Pakistan. As compared to Punjab, their performance was better in Sindh where the religious parties received 1,116,644 votes (10.57pc of the total votes polled). However, religiously-motivated groups dominated the electoral space in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa where nine parties collectively secured 18.84pc of the votes polled, followed by Balochistan (16.78pc).

The United States (US) on August 1 designated a senior Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commanderAbdul Rehman al-Dakhil a specially designated global terrorist and sanctioned two others as fund collectors for the outfit, reports Dawn.The commanderAbdul Rehman al-Dakhil is accused of carrying out attacks in India between 1997 and 2001.The fund-raisers were identified as Hameed-ul-Hassan and Abdul Jabbar, who allegedly worked for Falah-i-Insaniyat Foundation (FIF), which the US regards as a front for the LeT. Separate announcements by the US state and treasury departments claimed that all three were Pakistani nationals. “Today’s designations seek to deny Dakhil the resources to plan and carry out terrorist attacks,” the State Department said.“These Lashkar-e-Taiba financial facilitators are responsible for collecting, transporting and distributing funds to support this terrorist group and provide salaries to extremists,” said Sigal Mandelker, US treasury under-secretary for terrorism and financial intelligence.

Family of a Sindhi artist Qutub Rind on August 5 claimed that he was killed under “false charges of blasphemy” on July 17 in Lahore, reports Pakistan Today. Qutub Rind’s uncle, Gul Beg Rind said that Rind, a National College of Art (NCA) graduate, along with his two children came to Lahore on July 17 for an art show. “Qutub had rented out an apartment and had an altercation with the landlord that day,” he said. “Later at night, the landlord along with two accomplices came to the house and broke Rind’s arms, legs and then pushed him from the third floor of the building,” he added. Rind later passed away in the hospital due to severe head injuries. A friend of Qutub, Hamid Ali, who had registered an FIR [First Information Report], claimed that the suspects confessed to killing Rind for committing ‘blasphemy’.“As soon as the police caught the suspects, they confessed but later changed their statements,” he further claimed. Family and friends have accused officials at the Sanda Police Station of not cooperating and covering up the incident. “Police have been pressuring us to register a case against only one suspect—the one who had pushed Rind from the roof,” the family alleged.

MPakistan Government dismissed India's proposal to jointly interrogate JaisheMohammed (JeM) ‘chief’ Maulana Masood Azhar and other terror suspects, reports India.com on January 25. While Pakistan is expected to send a Special Investigating Team to India in consultation with the government for further investigations in the Pathankot (January 2) attack, but it refused to accept India’s request to jointly grill Maulana Masood Azhar.The detention of Masood Azhar in connection with Pathankot attack has remained unclear. Initially, reports came that Pakistan held Maulana Masood Azhar in ‘protective custody’, detained several JeM operatives and sealed their office. Later officials of intelligence claimed that JeM ‘chief’ has not been arrested nor has he been put under house arrest while three of his junior functionaries were detained in cases not connected with the Pathankot terror attack. However, Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has formed Joint Operation Team (JIT) to investigate Pathankot terror attack on the evidence provided by India, which revealed the location where he was hiding in Bahawalpur (Punjab province of Punjab). India has given to Pakistan information about certain mobile numbers which were used by the handlers of the six terrorists who stormed the sensitive air base in Punjab. There is no information on the identity of the owners of those numbers, Pakistan said
