Govt dismisses cop who refused to use force against PAT, PTI protesters
143
LAHORE: The Establishment Division on Tuesday issued a notification to dismiss former Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Mohammad Ali Nekokara, who had argued against using force against marchers last year during the Islamabad sit-in.
The notification for his dismissal today said he has been removed over "inefficiency and misconduct".
"Mr Mohammad Ali Nekokara shall have the right of appeal to the Appellate Authority under the Civil Servants (Appeal) Rules 1977, within a period of 30 days from the receipt of this Notification," read the notification.

The notification was issued by the Establishment Division on behalf of the government after an inquiry committee on this matter ruled in favour of Nekokara's dismissal from his job.
Know more: Govt looking to axe police officer for ‘doing his job’?
In August last year, Nekokara had written a detailed letter to Interior Secretary Shahid Khan, emphasising the importance of not using force when Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) announced their decision to march on Parliament House.
The interior ministry under Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan had discussed whether to stop Imran Khan and Dr Tahirul Qadri by force or let them march into the high-security zone.
Also read: PTI comes out in support of Nekokara
In his correspondence, Nekokara mentioned the Model Town incident, where the unnecessary use of force had led to the deaths of more than a dozen innocent people in Lahore and created grave problems for the provincial government.
The former SSP made his case on the basis “that the use of force on a crowd of more than 30,000, including women and children, by a loosely integrated force consisting of police units from Punjab police, AJK police and Railways police in addition to Rangers and Levies and Islamabad police, entailed serious risk of misuse of authority and disproportionate force”.
A three-member inquiry committee including Foreign Secretary Aizaz Chaudhry, Secretary to the Prime Minister Nadeem Hassan Asif and Inspector General of Police (IGP) Balochistan Mohammad Amlish, was initiated against him in November, the main charge being refusal to obey an order from his seniors.
Sources told Dawn earlier that other charges levelled against the police officer included misrepresentation of facts, refusal to use force, leaking information to the media, causing the demoralisation of the police force under his command and miscalculations on the impact of the use of force.

I, for one, salute this officer for using both his head and heart in upholding moral and ethical standards emanating from his conscious. Indeed, at the time the draconian orders were given to him, he clearly had a shift in consciousness towards the higher within himself. This to me shows his superiority (in comparison to his professional superiors) as an upstanding individual and he should celebrate this decision. A hearty congratulations to this fine man.

@allan (canada) Allan he was an administrative office and responsible for the situation. Not a solider firing at an order of a general, rather himself like a general at that time. He was to make his own decisions. And he made a good decision.

He was right in his assessment. The use of force led to Nawaz Sharif losing the moral high ground and allowing the army to take it. If he had called for restraint like this officer has, the army might still be in the barracks. Even now when the government desperately needs competent police officers in Punjab, they are behaving like idiots.

The officials who ordered the use of force need to be investigated and appropriate action, starting with dismissal should be instituted. The Police has been politicized by the corrupt and ineffectual politicians. We should applaud and celebrate this rare breed of upright , honest and law abiding officer.

We need officers like him who will serve and protect the public without taking any political sides.
We, the citizens should start a fund for this brave officer so he can have a good retirement.

You can only command if you obey. The police officer must carry out all legal orders of the Government. Regret , no sympathy. If such is the voice of his conscience, he should not have joined the police service. And if the gentleman was sympathetic to Imran's cause, he should now join his party.

@khri
Shame on those who do not perform their duty. If his conscience is so loud, he should not have joined the service or any government service.

True hero and a man of principals.
I am willing to pay his salary on regular basis till he is reinstated . His arguments are very reasonable, logical and passionate.
Any reasonable person will accept his explanation, but the unjust rulers are blind and deaf.
I love this ...
"In his correspondence, Nekokara mentioned the Model Town incident, where the unnecessary use of force had led to the deaths of more than a dozen innocent people in Lahore and created grave problems for the provincial government.
The former SSP made his case on the basis “that the use of force on a crowd of more than 30,000, including women and children, by a loosely integrated force consisting of police units from Punjab police, AJK police and Railways police in addition to Rangers and Levies and Islamabad police, entailed serious risk of misuse of authority and disproportionate force”.

i think it was a political and criminal decision by the people who organized the dharna to attack state buildings. It was even worse to use women and children as human shields. They are the ones who should be ashamed. How many of Imran khans family members were part of the women and children used as cover to attack these buildings? I am sure none. The plan was that these poor expendable low income supporters of PAT would be sacrificed to create a outrage that would lead to military takeover.
I hope my educated PTI supporters would be honest about their original plan

All those accusing this upright officer of not obeying orders please enlighten us as to what orders of the govt were disobeyed. The govt refused to give any written orders and wanted him to carry out illegal verbal orders only to blame him for the repercussions like in the model town tragedy where in the end all police officers involved were blamed and govt conveniently denies passing any orders. Why should he act on illegal and verbal demands? If govt orders were legal why weren't they formally given in writing. Or why doesn't govt tell us what those orders were even if verbal? It's because the govt made illegal demands and this officer has to be one of the boldest and bravest officers to stand his ground and risk hiss Areej only to protect civilian lives which is actually what his job is! Damned if you do and damned if you don't! He did the right thing and this country should appreciate his efforts and sacrifices he made for us all.
