Nowadays reports of
under detention killings of Baloch youths received from
different parts of Balochistan are highly disturbing, these
report are promptly confirmed because of easy availability
of electronic media and mostly believed in general public,
because, given the volatile situation of Balochistan,
anything is possible. But international media is not being
allowed to inter Balochistan for assessing the grave
situation what is going on in that part of world and the
Journalists related to local media are high targets of
Pakistani state sponsored terrorism.
Baloch armed
guerillas forces have now increased their attacks on
Pakistani occupying forces across Balochistan. In response,
the frustrated ultra-nationalist Punjabi generals and
bureaucrats have now adopted a counter strategy of
abduction- kill and dump of soft targets. This is to prevent
the energetic part of Baloch society, the youths from
joining the Baloch national movement. And being more
sinister, the teachers, students and Journalists are also
its prime targets to deprive Baloch society of its literati.
The president of
Khuzdaar Press Club, Mohamd Khan Sasoli, has been gunned
down in the close vicinity of his house by unknown
motorcyclists, when he was returning back home after
finishing his duty from Press Club. The 36 years old
Journalist was a father of a son. It is noteworthy here to
mention that Mohmad khan is the first Journalist became the
victim of target killing after the under detention
tormented killing of Lala Hameed, a Journalist was based
in Gwader city, who was found dead with marks of tortures on
his body in a deserted place along with his friend Ismail.
Yesterday, tortured
bodies of five missing persons were found in desolate areas
of different districts and cities, from Mand town Raziq
Lateef, from Khuzdaar city Ibrahim Husni and Noora Baloch,
from Tump district town Yousif Baloch, and from Karachi city
Saifulla Bugti. And yesterday, as I was writing this article
I received a call from a reliable source that said tortured
body Huda e Rahim a political worker from Quetta, his body
was found in a deserted area on Quetta-Taftan road with a
notice in his pocket which read “Bangulzai was a friend of
Ali Sher Kurd and belong to BLA. He has received his
punishment and others like him will also meet the same fate”
claimed by a previously unknown organization, “Mujahdeen
Balochistan”. It has been observed that Baloch resistant
forces are targeting Pakistani army and its installations.
Yet the state
sponsored terrorist organizations, Lashker e Jangvie, a much
closed affiliate of Talban, lashaker e Taeyaba and Al-Qaida
from Jumiet e Ulmae Islam side, is said to be involved in
the target killing of teachers, journalists and political
workers in Balochistan at the behest of Pakistani state
agencies and Punjabi army.
Baloch Musaleh Defie
Tanzeem, a pocket organization of Pakistani political
establishment, tasked with the responsibility of
particularly targeting those Baloch Journalists and
political workers, who are outspoken of Pakistani state
policies regarding the Baloch national question in the
historical perspective.
Pakistani state has
changed the commander of its occupying forces in Balochistan.
Gen Salim Nawaz, a Punjabi ex corps commander of FC in
Balochistan, who, under the command of Gen Musharraf had
carried out the genocide of Baloch youths and martyred Nawab
Akber Bugti, has been replaced by a Pashtun mercenary
general from Khaiber Pashtunkhowa province , Gen
Ubaidullah Khan khatak, to head Frontier Corps and continue
the legacy of its Punjabi master. Now he has taken the
charge of Baloch genocide “as a Pashtun” under the command
of Punjabi Gen Ashfaq Kayani
The sole object of
changing the command of FC from a Punjabi to a Pashtun
mercenary is to exonerate Punjab of its crime ridden record
of genocide of Baloch nation, and shifting the blame on a
Pashtun military General, whereby Punjabi dominated
Pakistani state could justify its use of force against
Baloch public in the name of restoring the state writ in the
“so called Balochistan province” and implying that
Pakistan is a country where all are equally represented.
It was the Khuzdar
Cantonment where the Pushtoon mercenary General of Punjab
made its first visit when he was appointed as the corps
commander of FC in Balochistan. Where he met Mengal and
Zehri sardars and then he went to Chaman as a guest of
Mahmmod Achakzai, where on record he announced the induction
of Pashtuns in Pak army from Pashtun dominated areas of
Balochistan, he also said that as Khuzdaar and Quetta
districts are with us, other remaining districts cannot make
any trouble for us. It is noteworthy to mention here that
the land on which the Khuzdar Cantonment is established
belong to Zehri and Mengal brothers. It is more than 20
thousand acres land leased to Punjabi military by Mengal and
Zehri brothers.
But Baloch
resistance has ripped through the order of the tribal
societies. Powerful tribes have been reduced into fraternity
groups by resistance movement. The recent attacks on two
high profile government officials by Baloch resistance
forces show that Baloch society is fully controlled by
Sarmachars (the freedom fighters). The CM and Governor are
chieftains of their respective tribes, But unable to seek
their revenge on Baloch resistance movement as it has broken
all barrier of tribalism. Baloch Sarmachars, the freedom
fighters, have now totally changed the landscape of
resistance.
Pakistani state writ
in Baluchistan’s social life is totally eroded, except the
military cantonments and garrisons, where only Punjabi
military personnel and with Pushton mercenary armed men are
living. They are totally alienated from Baloch society, they
have been rendered as estrange objects in Balochistan by
Baloch nationalist forces.
Pakistani army
personnel without heavy columns of armed vehicles cannot
enter into Baluchistan’s cities and towns. The constant
resistance of 10 years has worn the morale of Pakistan army
across Balochistan. Its armed men are suffering from mental
illnesses.
Apart from Armed
resistance, in general society, people have now refused to
pay utility bill, which is costing Pakistan billions of
rupees. Without the presence of helicopters and tanks it is
utterly an impossible task for Punjab army to make sure that
Baloch natural gas is flowing into Punjab’s cities and
factories from already depleted Gas fields of Balochistan.
Baloch students have
refused to be taught Pakistan Study text books in schools,
colleges and universities. Reciting Pakistani national
anthem in all education institutions and schools in
Balochistan is a sin. Pakistani flag can be seen hoisted
only on its cantonments and military camps. In place of
Pakistani flag, azad Balochistan flag is flying on all
schools, colleges, shops and homes across Balochistan.
All provincial and
national assembly members from Balochistan have now bought
homes in Islamabad and want to leave Balochistan forever,
because, they are isolated from Baloch society of general
public. They are now called pariah in Baloch society for
reasons that they have done nothing for Baloch national
struggle for freedom. Instead they are believed to be the
collaborators of enemy. Civil courts in Balochistan are
deserted, as Baloch have abandoned the hope that their day
to day social grievances would be redressed Pakistani
courts. All courts in Balochistan are now engaged only with
false cases framed against Baloch youths by occupying
Punjabi military establishment as a measure of preventing
them from the participation of freedom struggle.
However, Pakistani
military is putting all blame of Baloch insurgency on India,
Afghanistan and Russia; and particularly India is its prime
target of the whole blame. But to defend themselves from
Pakistani blames, it’s appropriate for neighboring
countries, particularly for India to send the members of
its civil societies to check if there is any Indian
involvement in fomenting insurgency in Balochistan or not?
