The so-called Balochistan Republican Army is part of a list of three or four terrorist groups that do not really exist on the ground but are the joint creation of CIA and Indian intelligence in Afghanistan, with Karzai's intelligence acting as facilitator. This operation is headed by a traitor of his country and people named Brahmdagh Bugti, who keeps moving around in various Indian-protected safe houses in Kabul plotting how best to damage Pakistan.
Brahmdagh and some of our misguided kids recruited by anti-Pakistan foreign powers in Afghanistan pulled another terrorist attack inside Pakistan this week when they planted a bomb inside Bolan Express, a train connecting Karachi with Quetta.
The foreign-backed terrorists working for Brahmdagh accepted responsibility for killing and injuring innocent Pakistanis. And yet it was stunning to see that the Chief Minister of Balochistan refused to condemn these terrorists. And he's not alone. What about the President and Prime Minister of Pakistan? What about 'national' politicians like Nawaz Sharif and Chaudhry Shujaat? Is there not a single Pakistani politician willing to call a spade a spade?
Granted that problems in Balochistan need to be resolved but can't we even condemn those who are openly working against the country with the support of our enemies? What kind of a bankrupt politics is this?
These are the same politicians who refuse to blame the US for turning Afghanistan into a base for anti-Pakistan activities. Balochistan's chief minister and other politicians could have used the images from the killed and injured in the train to discredit the foreign-backed terrorists. But this chance has been wasted.
Pakistanis must take notice of this major failure of these politicians who consider their own interests more important than Pakistan's.
We have a bunch of jokers in power in the most difficult hour in our homeland's history.
Only in Pakistan can you blow up a train and then find no one ready to condemn you.

AHMED: Why do you find it odd that the Balochs are seeking foreign assistance in their legitimate armed struggle against Islamabad given the fact that the former Balochistan governor Owais Ahmed Ghani himself told me 'on the record' that foreign weapons, which were given to Pakistan to fight America's war in Afghanistan, were used against the Balochs. It is unrealistic when you give the Pakistani army the right to battle the Baloch with sophisticated weapons and then deny the same 'right' to the latter for self-defense. I have spoken to Bramdagh several times. He does not deny his desire to seek foreign assistance.
ReplyDeleteAll weapons with the Pakistani army are foreign origin and have been used wherever necessary. So the the argument that 'they were used against the Baloch' does not stand. The question of the administrative and political problems in Balochistan is the responsibility, first and foremost, of the feudal politicians of the area and then the rest of the politicians in the country. The failures in Balochistan belong to Baloch politicians first and second to the rest of the failed Pakistani politicians. The army intervention has always happened after the politicians worsened the situation. And now we have foreign intervention there. You must understand that administrative and politican problems belong to the realm of internal politics and need to be resolved accordingly. Anyone seeking foreign interference is an enemy of the State and the homeland and should be dealt as such. [Those involved with outside powers are few and are not representative of Pakistan's Balochis but have the advantage of the ability to create noise because of money and foreign conenctions]. As for Brahamdagh Bugti, he should be treated as a thug and a murderer and I am stunned that you, if you are a Pakistani, are defending here someone who sees no problem in planting bombs in trains and killing innocent Pakistani and you consider that legitimate. If you are not a Pakistani, I am not much bothered about what you think. We know out country better.
ReplyDeleteFor Balochistan, the first heads that need to roll are those of politicians both local from Balochistan and then the rest of the country. These administrative and political problems can never be resolved without eliminating this corrupt political class itself.
well malik siraj, here is what i want to speak to you in response to your comments.....
ReplyDeleteFirstly, you call brahamdagh `s struggle legitimate...on what grounds if i may ask. who has given brahamdagh this authority to do it ? the people of balochistan ? C`mon, if u r from balochistan or watch TV regularly, u will realize that there many balochis, who condemn him or do not agree with his school of thought. then for whom he is speaking. is he doing so only because he was born to bugti tribe ? but what is his contribution in this happening ?
Secondly, if he is a true balochi and is dying to work for balochi cause, why he is doing it only in Pakistan ? Why not in Iran ? i am sure if he does it in Iran, of which i am positive that he is not capable enough, he knows the consequences. Iranians will chop of his head. he is a 'lion' only in Pakistan, where government is impotent of doing nothing, it cant even clean its nose.
Thirdly, why is he sitting in Afghanistan and barking from there ? why doesn`t he come to Balochistan, stays here on his lands and among his people, for whom he is dying to get them their rights. now dont tell me that he has a right to be anywhere, he is not safe here or when time would be right , he will be here blah blah blah....... this only shows he is a coward, and dont have the guts to do all this terrorist work while being in Pakistan. and why should he leave the warm laps of Americans, Indians and ihsan framosh and nang e millat Hamid Karzai, who all r patting him and giving him the tonics to become brave.
Lastly, he should remember the fate of Sheikh Mujib ur Rehman, if he is trying to follow his path. he should come to pakistan and carry on with his struggle politically.
