The announcement of Balochistan
package

The issue
of Baloch and Balochistan has now attained the attention of
entire world community. And it seems that the thinking of world
community, towards Baloch issue, is taking a new form and shape.
Baloch nation, once punished by British Empire by dividing
Balochland into parts for being patriotic and liberalist who
defied death to defend their homeland, has compelled world into
thinking of new perspectives to address the new requirements and
apprehensions, that if a nation adores its identity and homeland
in either way, whether in love or hate, is far better then the
hired slave, who is all set to do anything for its interests.
Despite
being a polarized and backward nation, Baloch are struggling to
defend every inch of their homeland to the last drop their
blood, even with desperate conditions, the courage, with which
it’s confronting two powerful countries, has drawn the attention
towards a real power which is capable of providing the world
community a rare pleasant opportunity to bring relative peace in
the region. That real power is possessed by Baloch nation, if
pulled together, can rectify the imbalance of power in the
entire region, even after a great chaos. The world community is
undergoing through the same punishments by the hand of Iran and
Pakistan, which were once inflicted upon Baloch for the sins
they have never committed before, albeit under the compulsion of
new exigencies. These two countries have plunged the world
community into insecurity to the extent that it has now started
to regard them scrupulously otherwise. Yet, both countries have
the realization, that the world community does not tolerate
their double-crossing anymore. Therefore, at state level, both
have skillfully started to create new hurdles to detract the
world attention towards the real problem.
The
announcement of Balochistan package and the program to pacify
the Baloch people is nothing more then a time being self
deception, so that it could pay full attention towards
Afghanistan for inflicting a shameful defeat upon America and
its allies as soon as possible, and compelling them to withdraw
from Afghanistan leaving behind them the "dirty job", so that it
could sustain its survival for a few more time. Therefore,
Pakistani state has now launched a systemic media war against
America. On the one hand, at state level rulers talking about
unified efforts to tackle the terrorism, on the other, all
Pakistan media is engaged in a malicious campaign against
America, where hardly an affective program is aired, in which
America is not depicted as the biggest Satan in Sketches, songs,
and dramas.
In short,
America and its allies are hardly being spared in their
campaign, but the most dangerous point here is that in this
storming propaganda what is emerging out of it, is that once
again Islam being used, this famous sentence is widely being
used in the media war; "conspiracy is being hatched against
Islam". In this ardent campaign, as if a public opinion is being
created to pave the way of a war between Islam, Christianity,
Judaism and Hinduism, which could be much more lethal for world
community then the Al Qaeda and Talban, in the shape of a will
organized power.
To say
less, it seems that an unnecessary and meaningless hue and cry
about Baloch and Balochistan is being created as a part of a
wider campaign where it gives a cover to their 'real intention'
to turn the entire region into a hell for America and its
allies.
Apart from
all these shenanigans, Balochistan package is nothing more than
a jugular box used to get the trained political monkeys of the
establishment play deception act. But Baloch nation has
abandoned the habit of paying any attention to such a package a
long time ago. They are struggling for their survival, for even
a slightest moment, Baloch are not oblivious of the fact that
jugulars are playing sophisticated tricks to trap them in.
It is not
hard to see how biased Islamabad has become in devising this
Balochistan package towards Baloch, which has not only been
rejected by those who are engaged in different level of
struggle for freedom from Iran and Pakistan, but also by those
political parties who have not yet abandoned parliamentary
politics. Every sentence of this package is implying that Baloch
are enslaved by dominant prejudiced Pakistani state. Each and
every point of this aforementioned package is a box filled with
deception. Had they taken into confidence anyone, then why prime
minister and president had to release a press statement that
they had taken all into confidence?
According
to BNF spokesperson, no political prisoner has been released of
the front, except Shafique Baloch. Then what was the necessity
of resorting to bluffing in parliament, that "all Baloch missing
persons will reach their home from today"? Let alone the
thousand missing persons, those who have been taken notice of by
prime minister himself have not yet reached their homes. Even
worst, after the statement of the prime minister, BSO's ex vice
chairman Sangat Sana and Gaffar Langu along with their friends
became the added victims packed up by state agencies. In
addition, the martyrdom of 10 BRP innocent workers and almost 25
other injured Baloch in Dera Bugti area are worthy to be
mentioned here.
Surpassing
all limits of meanness, in the cover of withdrawing the
fabricated cases against the workers of BNF, all the cases of
criminals have been withdrawn, hired by the government salaried
politicians and chieftains.
It must
not be forgotten that all political parties in BNF (Balochistan
National Front) have constantly demanded that if there are cases
against the missing persons, then it is the moral obligation of
the government to produce them before the courts. If proven, of
course, should be punished.
Similarly
regarding the military operation in Balochistan, all tricks of
Machiavellian are deployed in broad daylight. The Persian saying
that "what happens if an ass comes and a cow goes" is fully
justified if said about the announcement of the deployment of
the Frontier Corps in the place of regular army in Balochistan.
These are the two most sensitive crises which have turned
Balochistan into an erupting volcano. If the irresponsible
attitude of the government towards these sensitive issues is as
such, than it is not hard to imagine what rulars would do with
other issues.
In short,
no improvement is going to take place in Balochistan situation
by this package; however, here rises the question, eventually
there comes a result out of this situation, but what kind of a
result would emerge?
We believe
that Pakistan has to pay a heavy price for the ridiculous jokes,
Islamabad used to play with Balochistan. As usual, This
Balochistan package is designed to cater to salaried privileged
class and ridicule Baloch nation.
Naturally,
the people who have been taken in by the government statement
would start believing those who have been saying all along, that
this package is a jugular box filled with deception.
As
consequences, this package, designed to weaken Baloch
resistance, would backfire and Baloch youths in a greater number
join the resistance movement. There should be no doubt about
these facts that the majority would join the ranks of Sarmachars
(freedom Fighters) and those who were vacillating so far, would
throw their weight behind the pro independent parties and help
them to hold successful rallies and protests in cities. It spurs
the freedom movement in entire Balochistan to new heights and
increases their power of resistance in cities and mountains, and
the government grip loosens eventually. The Government stance
and the arguments about Balochistan to remain within Pakistan
not only would be rendered ineffective, but would rather
intensify the unacceptability of Pakistani state.
The
parties, which are So far bogged in the marsh of opportunism,
demanding that three or four subject, should remain with
federation and the remaining should be conferred to provinces,
not only would be unable to justify their stance, but also would
remain silent.
In the
event of intensification of the resistance movement, Pakistani
forces, out of sheer desperation, would commit such heinous
crimes, thereby the hatred increases against Pakistan. It would
urge Baloch liberalists within Balochistan and Karachi to close
their ranks and draw new strategies. The leadership leaving in
abroad, particularly Khair Beyar Marri would have to intensify
his activities. His bold and candid speeches, about independent
Balochistan in different international forums, have made him a
popular leader. Now it is the call of the hour for all political
parties in Baloch National Front to jointly persuade him into
accepting the job of representing the Baloch nation in abroad.
And at the same time it is his job to form a five or seven
member's team, so that it could substantially present Baloch
national case for freedom in the international forums in the
event of the possible intensity of Pakistan's volatile
situation.
Meanwhile,
it is highly possible that BHRC based in London, would get its
acts together in a proper manner and disassociate itself from
the parties who are bogged in the marsh of opportunistic
Pakistani parliamentary politics, demanding the right to self
determination, (according to the current situation it is a
hypocratic slogan). And it is hoped that it categorically
reminds the world about the violation of Baloch human rights and
that Baloch on both sides of the border living a slavish life.
Along with Eastern Balochistan, pro independent parties in
western Balochistan, particularly Baloch Raaji Zrombresht and
Baloch Liberation Organization would also get more active,
because, nowadays Raaji Zrombrsht leaders are ardently
participating in all those programs and seminars where Baloch
national Leader Hair Beyar Marri participates. Thus, it is how
the government joke (the rights package) would serve as a wake
up call for all hibernating Baloch on both sides of the border
to rise on occasion.
The virus
of this package is not so potent; one might fear that it would
kill off Baloch national movement. But its not so, the virus
that can not kill would surly fortified the defensive system of
the host body.
It is
highly possible that Pakistan's some of those problems would get
exacerbated and go beyond the control of the government, which
were once Pakistan's own making invented to detract the public
attention from bigger problems. During all this while the state
establishment would be able to avail itself from two fronts;
first, in the cover of the chaotic situation, it would allow the
Talban's selected leadership to elapse into save heaven. And on
the other side it would succeed in creating loyalty for
extremists and hatred for other religions, which would
eventually help exhaust American and its ally's patient about
Pakistan. It would be an unexpected surprise for Pakistan.
While on the other side, during all this while, the sure footed
Baloch national struggle would be moving towards its destination
with rather confidence, and the world community would regard
Baloch nation as a potent power to bring relative peace in the
region.
