Comparing the two JIT reports on Uzair Baloch is quite interesting. There is the one, with 6 signatures, uploaded on govt site. Then there is the one with 4 signatures (clearly an earlier version) missing the signs of SSP special branch and SSP ops CTD. The most glaring diff
In both is that the 4 sign one has a section on political affiliations in which Zulfiqar Mirza and Tappi are named, as well as a mention of Asif Ali Zardari. Another section that does NOT appear in the final JIT report is the one that details the nexus with police. In the final
report, this is reduced to 2 points, as opposed to the 'earlier' JIT report. Section 14 of previous report is also trimmed down, the one that relates to ethnic killings, where the 'on direction of PPP leadership is missing.' Now, thing is that one can argue back and forth as to
whether these changes were due to a disagreement between the JIT members, who then decided to meet halfway and then signed off on the final report, or if, as is alleged, it was edited. In latter case, only a forensic study and questioning of JIT members would work I think.
And then there is also this: independenturdu.com/node/40826
And I've got a bloody headache reading several hundred pages of JIT reports all day. The one takeaway from all 3 reports is (and this isn't breaking news) is how the political-criminal-police-intelligence nexus works in reality. Sordid.
Basically: the enemy of my enemy is my friend until he too becomes my enemy.
