The mourning of
hibernating consciences…

There is a saying in Balochi
“Doost Pa Doosta Soogi Nabet
Pedawaren Kaare Nakant”
meaning if a friend cannot
express his compassion in
the time of condolence, he
should not cheer up dancing
in happiness which could
increase the intensity of
one’s sorrow.
Every true person aware of
the violence and genocide
in Balochistan is sadden
except those Baloch leaders
who are in power or awaiting
to be in power aren’t
bothered about it. The
demand of being in power has
snatched their human soul
and emptied them internally.
Perhaps for such people it
is said “They are already
dead but they just don’t
stink!”. But for an ordinary
Baloch, Balochistan is
exactly like the ‘aim’ of
Socrates student who wanted
to know the meaning of ‘aim’
so his master takes him to a
pond to make him understand
the meaning of ‘aim’. The
master asks him to step into
water, once they reach a
deep point the master grabs
his hair and starts to drown
him. With in a few seconds
the student starts having
difficulty in breathing.
Feeling the death closely he
struggles to get out but the
master holds him tight. Here
comes a moment when the
student uses his entire
energy in getting out and
succeed. After feeling a bit
better he asks his master
‘What have you done?!’ so
master replies ‘I wanted to
make you understand the
meaning of ‘aim’, the
feeling in demand of
survival could not be
expressed by words and nor
anyone can feel it anytime.
When all other wishes in the
world are no more and one
and only wish is left, that
particular wish is called
‘aim’.
Today Baloch nation is
finding itself drowning.
Iran and Pakistan have the
will of chaining their feet
and drowning them and Baloch
nation is uniting its all
energy for the only aim of
its survival.
In such, the strength of
intensity in Baloch nation
in breaking these chains of
slavery and in reaction the
conspiracies against it are
of the same strength. Baloch
nation is aware of the price
and toughness of its
decision. It is ready to
face any attack from the
enemy but in such tough time
it is badly hurt when its
own people like its enemy
attack them with the similar
intensity hatred wise.
After reading the statements
of two Baloch political
personalities in the same
week, ones feelings are hurt
deeply. Chief Minister Aslam
Raisani said the
intelligence agencies should
not be accused for the
missing persons and the
missing persons had
deliberately gone
underground to malign the
intelligence agencies. On
the second statement Haasil
Bizenjo being a Baloch
informs the Indians that
there isn’t any freedom
movement in Balochistan in
fact Balochs are fighting
for their right under
Pakistan’s frame work.
Before commenting on such
criminal statements of these
leaders we would like to say
that hundred people like
Rehman Malik using all their
forces cannot harm Baloch
national struggle such hard
as one of these statements
given by such Baloch
politicians could do.
We will not debate on Mir
Haasil Bezinjo’s statement
because such misguiding
statements were debated in
many of our articles but we
would just say that these
people whenever talking
about their rights in
Pakistan’s framework can
repeat talking thousand
times it is their democratic
right, but keeping in mind
the respect of the
sacrifices of numerous
martyrs, at least they
should say those are freedom
seekers. Presenting Baloch
struggle in such ways show
that the people sacrificing
their lives and these
political personalities have
the same agenda. And those
in the mountains are under
these personalities so
whenever their demands are
met these personalities will
call them back from
mountains and everything
will be all right whereas in
reality nothing is so. Such
statements are dangerous to
national struggles because
these could lead
misunderstanding in the
world about Baloch national
struggle and rather than a
concrete demand many useless
debates take place which
obviously go in the favor of
the enemy.
Chief Minister’s statement
about missing persons not
being in the custody of the
intelligence
agencies
is such a lie that strongly
annoys. Being in power has
closed the eyes of such
people or if 2 and a half
years back when these people
were not in power and
intelligence agencies were
kidnapping people in
Balochistan and releasing
one or two after numerous
tortures and when these
people used to tell their
stories (of being tortured)
these gentlemen used to
strictly condemn (the
intelligence agencies) for
it. But today since they are
in power they are unable to
see the killings of their
brothers and the rapes of
their sisters by the
intelligence agencies.
We cannot figure out each
word of this statement being
a knife cutting Jalil Reki,
Iqbal Baloch, Dr. Deen Mohd,
Zakir Majeed, Asghar
Bangulzai and thousands of
other missing persons
relatives hearts but we
could figure out that after
this statement no other mask
is left to be revealed on
Aslam Raisani. Those people
will be ashamed today who
used to say that particular
person is an honest person
but establishment has forced
him to give such heart
breaking statements like
“Baloch missing persons have
deliberately gone
underground”. In this view
another statement from a
political alliance pass
through which stated
soreness that it is not far
that tomorrow this gentleman
might say that Martyr Ghulam
Mohammad and his colleagues
committed suicide, Rasool
Baksh Mengal with a sharp
blade cut his chest and back
writing ’Hail Pakistan’ and
’Down to Baloch and BLA’. Dr
Allah Nizar beat and chained
himself up. The worker of
Education Ministry in Mand,
Sattar Baloch decorated his
body with cigarette burn
marks.
The list is very long so
lets leave it by just
mentioning Shafi Baloch’s
case who was in custody for
15-20 days and was later on
in condition of half dead
thrown near a street corner.
He said that they were
hanged upside down naked and
one bearded Punjabi soldier
used to urinate on the faces
of Baloch prisoners singing
‘Hail Hail Pakistan!’ and
then give them electric
shocks on the same urinated
wet faces. Along these
tortures such threats were
also given to them that
after their release if they
open their mouth and try to
tell anyone how they were
treated, they shall be
killed.
Rather than giving such
statement that Baloch
missing persons have
deliberately gone
underground, Chief Minister
could have attempted moral
courage by saying
‘Intelligence Agencies own
imposed government is active
in Balochistan and We are
helpless‘. This truth is
painful but would not have
been an example of such
carelessness.
Conclusion:
Perhaps for some people
Chief Minister’s this
statement might have been a
shocking one but for us it
wasn’t anything new. We have
been saying this before that
all those who think that
Aslam Raisani, Zardari or
Nawaz Sharif are honest to
Baloch, are in mistake. In
fact these people who think
so are opportunists and are
wondering if they are going
to take Raisani’s place
after him. Such people in
the name of nationalism are
sitting in the markets
trading nation and
nationalism.
In reality any ruler in
Islamabad and any government
in Baluchistan (under
Pakistani rule) being Chief
Minister Aslam Raisani or
Jamali, Mengal or Zehri,
Achakzai or Darzadag,
Sarmastani
or Hazara everyone will now
or then speak Pakistan’s
accent and the state policy
is that all the nations by
force or by greed should be
made Pakistanis and all the
present coast and resources
should be under the
occupation of the state, no
one should be able to claim
its right in any condition.
Those who are unaware of it
are the most ignorant people
of the world and those who
are aware of this and still
are insisting to go to
parliament with any excuse,
we can only pray for such
people that they are advised
to get rid of such nation
enmity.
