KALAT, Balochistan – An eminent scholar from the United States, Dr. Malek Towghi made the following statement after the recent terrorist attacks in India by the Pakistani-supported Islamic groups:
The only way for Indians to live in peace is to break up Pakistan and dismantle this ‘terrorist structure’ called ‘Pakistan’. Without doing so there is no way that these terrorists will stop.
They have taken this oath as a religious duty to convert the whole of India into an Islamic state. They will not rest as they think it is their religious duty. They will go underground, group and re-group and re-appear and will continue with the help, support and training from Pakistan’s spy agency, Inter-services Intelligence (I.S.I.) to continue their Jihad against the people of India and Afghanistan.
India needs to take ‘BOLD STEPS’ and do what the State of Israel is doing against Hizbollah in Lebanon – to bomb Pakistan, Islamabad airport and Punjab. This is the only way to have peace.
Talking ‘peace with Pakistan’ is like talking to the walls, wasting times and cheating yourself and the Indian people. For India, It is time to take ‘BOLD STEPS’.
Who is this guy? If he is Pakistani, then the Pakistan government should request his extradition and have him charged with treason. These kinds of inflaming sentiments are what create havoc and riots in both countries.
No one is disputing his right of freedom of speech, but it should be responsible. Freedom of speech exists in Pakistan as well but I don't believe any country will tolerate such sentiments no matter where the person is.. whether in the country or not especially if he is trying to incite people. If he doesn't like Pakistan as is then perhaps he should denounce his Pakistani nationality. Dividing countries is not useful.
Another option would be to represent the Balochis in government so that they have representation and a voice. Staying in exile and then shouting about what should be done is absolte cowardess. He will let the poor Balochi people living in Pakistan suffer while he is safe wherever he is.
Do you believe in self-determination? If they want to be free, they have the God given right to be free. We have stolen from them since 1947. Does that not even shame you one bit? Even many Israelis will grudgingly admit their treatment of Palestinians is wrong.
schine, most people in Balochistan don’t and have never considered themselves as Pakistanis and they likely never will. There are only two realistic options:

2) Ethnically cleanse Balochistan of Balochis
Well, you've certainly given me some food for thought. I wouldn't go for either of the above options if I were in power. Sorry I don't know the complete story about the problems with Balochis and why they hate Pakistan but let's say they did become independent, would they be able to run their affairs to sustain themselves and be recognized in the world as a player? Or would it become like for instance Afghanistan - completely ruled by tribes. Or perhaps the ex USSR countries like Kazikistan and Uzbekistan? They are suffering economically.
We stole their freedom? or was it that they were included as part and parcel of the freedom granted to other provinces? What was their contribution in Pakistan movement? Lets forget about that. Baluchistan is a province of Pakistan, as much as Pakistani government to be blamed of not cleansing sardari, chaudhari, wadera system so are the sardars/nawabs of Baluchistan. Their own oppression is far more worse than current oppression by Pakistani government (now don’t take it as my approval of Pakistani govt. oppression).
Grant them the autonomy? of what kind, just as Sind/Punjab/NWFP? or something like Kashmir?
If Baluchistan becomes an independent state, do you seriously think there lives will improve drastically? Will a common baluchi get rich in 10-20 years? will he become free of their sardars/nawabs’ oppression in 20-30 years?

The Baloch people are the ultimate victims of these fools. Both the PAkistani govt. and the Landlords exploit and supress these poor people. The fact of the matter is that granting Balochistan will only futher enrich the nawabs and leave ordinary Balochis with little chance of future advancement. Any Balochi who plans to further his\her livlihood does so by removing themselves from the tribal system, the landlords have no incentive to break their current hedgemony.
what a dumbass. India is not Israel and Pakistan isn’t Gaza or Labenon. I have never been more proud of Pakistan becase they have a real army and can deter any attack from India. The indians can blame Pakistan all they want, but they can’t do jack and this is the reality. Pakistan is in constant war with al qaeda, taliban, militants and as a result have been a victim of terrorism on numerous occassions, with all that I can’t comprehend why Indians are turning a blind eye towards Pakistan.
It is very unfortunate what happened in Mumbai and my prayers are with the families and I hope whoever has commited this crime should be punished to the full extent.
Captain, you should take a look at the instrument of accession of the Kalat state to Pakistan and the rights stipulated in that document. Those rights were taken away, but legalities aside, we have looked the other way when these sardars were killing their own people but now all of a sudden when these sardars are going against government policies, we have become champions of the people against the sardars. Is it any wonder that the Balochs are skeptical of our intensions? As for Pakistan movement, that’s my point, they didn’t care for it either way and only the Khan of Kalat and Jamali tribe I think agreed to join Pakistan and that too if they retained their sovereign rights. It’s not like the Balochi people were given the option to vote for Pakistan. But that’s all part of history as you say, and it’s what has happened since 1947 that is so damning.
For your second point, I don’t know what kind of autonomy, but I’m sure we can find out if we listen to the popular Baloch parties. As for independence, most of the parties are not as king for that, and it does not matter what kind of state they will if independent. Freedom is a concept that goes far beyond economic incentives. If they fail as an independent or even an autonomous state, the blame will lie on them, not anyone else. The problem is that so far they haven’t been given a chance to succeed or fail on their own.
The title is misleading. Let's change it to 'Lord Bugti, champion of human rights in Balochistan, and his comrades currently drinking Vodka and reminiscing about commie era in his cave, ask Hindustan through their Blogspot emissaries living in Europe and America, to break up Pakistan'.
Technicalities about the title aside, I don't think Indians are that foolish. They have literate people among them, and can comprehend Pakistan's Space Threshold of Nuclear Doctrine. Indian army, with its massive resources can break or nuke Pakistan, but they wouldn't be able to celebrate their victory for the next few decades.
India needs to take ‘BOLD STEPS’ and do what the State of Israel is doing against Hizbollah in Lebanon – to bomb Pakistan, Islamabad airport and Punjab. This is the only way to have peace.
Did this guy just wake up from coma??
Does he not know india has tried already and got their a@@ kicked bay pakistan.
Pkistan destroyed india's air force so if some here can level the cities here its pakistan.
He has freedom of speech so he can say "Death to Pakistan".
I have freedom of speech as well and i say " Laanat on that sardar and other people who find no problem with him using such words against my country".
This is complete fiction. But its interesting to ask is why would anyone think India is in favor of breaking up Pakistan?
It would just create a number of small unstable muslim states at Indias borders that are prone to Islamic fundamentalism and would likely be a constant source of problems. At least right now they have someone they can hold responsible when something goes wrong in India...

Gee, just yesterday I was reading that about 600 or so "fighters" trained in Afghanarchistan surrenedered. Bugti's days are numbered. This dude is a psychopath on the lines of those 007 villains who've got the designs on the rest of the world. Just another reason we need folks like Musharraf to take care of 'em!
