Bangkok Conference;
Participation of doubtful personalities,
Pro-independence’ boycott
By

Hearing the news of
the pro-independence leaders and intellectuals
boycott the conference which is to be held in
Bangkok from February 22nd-24th on the subject of
“Baluchistan yesterday, today and tomorrow; meeting
the challenges” left us in the state of pleasant
amazement as well as amusement.
-
The reason of
amazement was the question of how could a person
like Munir Mengal whose only announcement of opening
TV channel (Baluch Voice) let the people
overwhelmingly support him, commit such a mistake by
inviting such personalities who are not only
doubtful but are involved directly working against
the Baluch national freedom struggle.
-
The reason of
amusement was to come to know the Baluch leaders and
intellectuals today are much matured than ever
having the ability of analyzing every aspect of this
struggle. Or else, if such conference were to be
taken place a few years back, it would have not been
inspected on such scale resulting in the increase of
numbers of participants and those who keep evil
ambitions would have continued their work. In
result, the national struggle would have faced
interior and exterior troubles due to it.
-
After the caution
given by the pro-independence leaders and
intellectuals for not participating in the
conference and appealing others (pro-independence)
to not to mark their characters as suspicious by
participating, we tried to inspect the situation to
get the real issue.
-
After consulting a
few friends on this subject, we came to know leaders
and intellectuals took this decision after 2 basic
points;
-
Hiding the names of
the participants coming from Pakistan even to those
who play an important role.
-
Participation of
doubtful personalities like Dr. Jumma Marri and Dr.
Wahid in this conference.
-
Hiding the names of
the participants coming from Pakistan even to those
who play an important role:
-
A conference in which
Baluchistan’s peak leaders like Mehran Marri’s
participation is expected, the identification of
other participants is necessary because in such
stage when Baluch national struggle is accelerating
day by day, one cannot overrule the fact of Pakistan
and Iran harming such leaders by any mean of
conspiracy. If Munir Mengal had invited trustworthy
leaders, intellectuals, journalists and political
activists from Baluchistan or even Pakistan, why
would he hide their names from those who are playing
a direct and important role in the national
struggle?
-
As far as we came to
know, despite the requests of some foreign based
Baluch leaders and intellectuals who were their self
invited to participate in the conference, the names
of participants from Pakistan were not told to
them.
-
There was no harm in
revealing the names of the participants to those who
are leading this national struggle and are worried
about their own security so that accordingly they
could gather information about the participants for
their satisfaction.
-
Inviting doubtful
personalities giving birth to many confusions:
-
The issue of Dr.
Jumma Marri being invited is a matter of bunch of
questions. First of all, Dr. Jumma Marri himself
hold no importance nor he is related to the Baluch
national freedom struggle by any means. He owns a
website (www.balochunity.org)
which actually spreads confusion among visitors
about the Baluch national freedom struggle and is a
mean of making the struggle unpopular. The invitees
of this conference include a few foreign based
activists who directly rely on the payroll of
Pakistan, other than that, invitees include a bunch
of people who keep daydreaming and are victims of
the misconception of representing the Baluch
internationally. Recently a self made poll was
organized in one of their sites (keep in mind Dr.
Jumma Marri and Dr. Wahid Baluch both have their own
different websites) in which national heroes like
Martyr Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti and Nawab Khair Baksh
Marri along with other pro-independence leaders were
insulted which is an unforgivable national crime.
-
According to sources,
in interviews published in some Indian and Russian
newspapers Dr. Jumma Marri has shown himself to be a
Baluch leader and son of the legendary Baluch
leader. As far as the question of being a Baluch
leader is concerned, this topic is invalid for
discussion because Dr. Jumma Marri is mostly known
of being a spy of his father and his so-called
legendary father is today known as the legendary
traitor among Baluchs.
-
In most of his
interviews, Dr. Jumma Marri has introduced himself
by saying he is the son of legendary commander Mir
Hazar Khan Marri who in the decades of 70s and 80s
fought against Pakistan but Dr. Jumma never add the
fact of once his legendary father, has now
surrendered himself to the Pakistani army and is
well prepared organizing the tribal force against
the freedom fighters in the interest of the
Pakistani army. For the remembrance and the kind
information of the readers, I am pasting the exact
words of Mir Hazar Khan Marri quoting in front of
the world media during the act of surrender to
Pakistani army;
-
“My name is
Mir Hazar Khan Marri, I have before fought against
Bhutto and Ayub Khan, I was a colleague of Nawab
Khair Baksh Marri, He was my leader then I separated
from Nawab Marri, Now these (who surrendered) have
surrendered because of trusting on me. Now these
people will not fight against Pakistan. The
government has promised to bring development which
is still not present, these people have been
promised of jobs opportunities, hospitals, roads
etc. Now we are with the government of Pakistan.”
-
Dr. Jumma Marri
honors his father as a legend because of his freedom
struggle for Baluchistan back in 70s and 80s, but
today as he organizes tribal force against the
freedom fighters, according to any law in the world
he may have been a legendary commander in the past
but in the present he is a traitor in the view of
the Baluchs.
-
The only complain to
Dr. Jumma Marri is that if his father is committed
to such a crime, he could atleast issue a statement
expressing that once his father was a famous
commander of Baluch nation but at present he is
cooperating with the Pakistani army which Dr. Jumma
Marri himself condemns. Dr. Jumma Marri never
confessed this truth but always tried to make fool
the world by showing achievements of his fathers
struggle in 70s and 80s. How can a person be
trustworthy who organize a rubbish poll against
Baluch national leaders like Martyr Nawab Akbar
Bugti and Nawab Khair Baksh Marri in his website and
never confess his fathers surrender to the enemy or
says what his father is currently doing.
-
Dr. Wahid too is a
dummy character in Baluch national struggle who in
the US claims to talk about Baloch rights but he
himself published news and statements in his website
in order to attempt character assassination Of
Martyr Ghulam Mohammad. This trend continued till
Chairman Ghulam Mohammad was martyred along his
colleagues.
-
Following are the
shameful words of Dr. Wahid which he quoted on April
7th 2009 and are the proof of his dishonesty;
-
“May someone ask what
these so-called ‘freedom fighters’ were doing in
Kachkol’s office? Drinking tea..? Those who are real
freedom fighters do not drink tea openly at the
corner. Atleast, we are not going to buy this story
and these I.S.I. dramas. They are being arrested and
released in order to boost their popularity and
distract the people from the real situation”
-
How can a person be
invited to the conference who had without any
confirmation or proof accused a shining star in this
freedom struggle Martyr Ghulam Mohammad and tried to
character assassin him. Call it unfortunate of Munir
Mengal or his unawareness that he his relations with
such doubtful personalities and attending a program
in India with very Dr. Wahid, we are unaware that
what all confusions they had raised there about
Baluch national freedom movement. But we have heard
at some point through our friends that Munir Mengal
in India tried to ensure that he is a
representative of a Guerilla Commandar and who that
commander be, we have no idea. The commander’s
representative being Munir Mengal and Dr. Jumma
Marri and Dr. Wahid like self claimed leaders being
colleagues of Munir Mengal, we humbly advice the
particular commander to beware because there is a
famous phrase “You tell me whose your friend, I
shall tell you who you are!”
-
In the end, we would
conclude that any committee or organization
interested in holding any kind of conference on the
issue of Baluch national freedom movement, should
avoid inviting such doubtful personalities in their
conferences whom the pro-independence believe to be
the enemies of the freedom struggle.
