Subj: Vice Chancellor of Kohat University still in Taliban hands -- protest
This is also something to worry for special ops forces and military. How much technological information the talibans may be getting from him while the professor is in their custody?
I am also amazed that there is not much outrage in the general media of his abduction.

Please make some fuss as everyone else seems to have forgotten about this good man...
If it were not for Shaukat Khanum, I would suggest exchanging this scientist for Imran Khan. I saw him on Geo last night saying "LaRkey jin ko brainwash kiya jata hai" (the "boys" who are being brainwashed) will all come back to us if Amrika leaves. Presumably he did not get Hamid Gul's memo about these "boys" being Indian agents and Jews...Maybe Jamiat needs to beat him up once again to teach him not to have so much respect for enemy agents? Besides, what if they then announce that they will actually stop once shariah is imposed, Kashmir is handed over, Northen alliance commanders are crucified in Bala Hissar and so on? Anyway, there is absolutely no end to grievances. But NO grievance can justify deliberate targeting of women and children or throwing grendades into mosques or shooting up passengers on railway platforms. Khan sahib needs to figure this out.
His sympathy for the poor "boys" knew no bounds....I had to repeat to myself "Shaukat Khanum, World Cup" a few hundred times to avoid thinking bad things about Khan sahib...

Dear All,
Peace be on all of you! As most of you are by now aware that on Nov. 06, 2009, Prof. Dr. Lutfullah Kakakhel, the Vice Chancellor of Kohat University of Science & Technology, was abducted under gunpoint from Darra Adam Khel Area (F.R. Kohat), in the line of duty by a known Taliban Commander so as to pressurize the Government to get some of his men released in exchange from various jails of NWFP.
In academic circles of this country Dr. Lutfullah has legitimately earned a wider national acclaim as a highly qualified, experienced and respected Professor of Physical Chemistry with scores of publications and M.Phils/Ph.Ds produced to his credit but also a top notch IT expert in terms of hard/soft-ware, networking and communications, besides being the pioneer of Computer Science education in University of Peshawar. On the administrative side he has served in positions like the Director, National Centre of Physical Chemistry; University of Peshawar, Vice Chancellor of Sarhad University and Kohat University and as Advisor to the Governor, N.W.F.P. on Science & Technology. A person well known as a thorough gentleman, intellectual with progressive worldview, straightforward person yet a humble middle-class professor became another victim of Taliban´s sadistic strategy and inhuman acts. However, it appears rather painful and apathetic that while
Lutfullah is languishing under Taliban´s tyrannical sub-human living conditions, ailing health and complete lack of communication with family and friends, the Government, the media and the civil society has conveniently forgotten him or the plight of his family. Incidentally, his wife also happens to be a Professor of Biochemistry at the Centre of Biotechnology & Microbiology, University of Peshawar- poor middle class couple of professors, after all!
The objectives of this little note "Call for Attention" is to emphasize the fact that though abductions, tortures, ransom demands and beheadings of innocent people at the hands of terrorist `zalimans" have pretty much become "routine happenings" but they still remain deplorable and highly condemnable acts especially when viewed in the face of incoherent and half-hearted security management. If the academia, media persons, civil society, bar associations, health and engineering professionals, businessman and other organs of the state such members of parliament, executive and the armed forces do not act in harmony with absolute determination to wipe out religious and social fascism, every one of us may meet the same or similarly horrid fate. What are we waiting for? Lets wake up please! Lets stand-up and be counted against crimes of humanity... no matter who may be the perpetrators.
Let us employ every possible means to secure the safe reunion of Prof. Litfullah with his family and let us ensure that in future every effort will be made to protect the sanctity of our sacred educational institutions, fraternity of academia, free expression of opinion and belief, speedy justice and transparent governance. .......... Stay Well!
Prof. Dr. S. Shafiqur Rehman
University of PeshawarDecember 5, 2009
