Balochistan crisis & its resolution!

Re: Nawaz vows to resolve Balochistan issue

@snowy_winter

People who don’t live in Balochistan have no idea about the facts and are merely passing their opinions as facts sitting thousands of miles away. Here are the hard cold facts:

I am not a Baloch myself, but some of my close relatives have relations to Baloch’s (Bugti’s), and they have been driven off from their lands. Many have been killed over the past few years. Most of them have been disillusioned with the concept of Pakistan, it depends upon us whether we consider that as a threat to the stability of the country or not.

1. Balochistan’s budget has been increased almost 300% in the past few years. If the Baloch bureaucrats and politicians don’t spend it on Balochistan, its their problem.

Well if you read Hamood ur Rehman Commission this was the same thing Pakistan Army used to think about Bangladesh (East Pakistan), and they couldn’t figure out why they wanted to get free when Pakistan was spending so much on ‘poor Bengalis’. Now Bangladesh is much better than ‘rich Pakistan’. Anyways the slogans of independence cant be bought by money or subjugating the local people.

Getting training, weapons and money from CIA and RAW, some Baloch groups started butchering non-balochs including punjabis and urdu-speaking people. These were innocent doctors, lawyers, professors. Word on the street was that kill a punjabi and get cash from RAW. Rates had been fixed. This was not about deprivation of Baloch rights, but pure and simply genocide. They killed around 5000-10,000 non-balochs during the last 5 years with complete support and backing from the Baloch politicians, sardars and bureaucrats.

Pakistan army has never given a proof to anyone about the involvement of RAW and CIA in the Balochistan issue. I can see ths mistakes of our military establishment which has pushed the Baloch’s to the brink.

3. Whenever people from the federal capital or other parts of the country wanted to do talks, these balochs sardars simply spat on ground and said we will gain independence.

The army has never tried to reconcile with these people. The last serious effort was when Shujaat tried to open a dialogue with them but Musharraf foiled that by killing Bugti. Even now on one side the government is presenting Aghaz e Huqqooq package, but their people are still being picked up and their dead bodies turning up in various areas of Balochistan.

4. While killing Akbar Bugti was obviously bad thing, but just to give you an idea of how these baloch sardars keep their people, visit dera bugti which he ruled for decades. It is the most stinking, backward place with private prisons and animals living better than humans. These sardars don’t let development to be done in their areas as they are against awareness. Ataullah and co staged bitter protests against the Karachi-Quetta highway, which bye the way they currently use to loot the passenger buses.

I agree with you that these sardars also have a role to play in keeping the area backward, but no serious effort has been taken by any government as well. The funds and jobs given to the baloch has been minuscule which used to cause a lot of resentment in the people. Most of the people who work in Balochistan are from other provinces.

5. Balochistan comprises of a very large number of pushtuns (probably more than 40%) and while the pushtuns initially supported the Balochs, their lives have been ruined due to the destruction caused by Baloch rebels. Balochs have almost no stake in agriculture or business and the constant blowing up of electricity pylons has ruined the crops and trees of the pushtun belt. All the visitors to Balochistan from other parts of country has dried up leaving the pushtun businesses in dust. The situation in Quetta is that every competent doctor, lawyer, teacher has left and people are becoming miserable because they now have to get treated by Bloan Medical Collage fail “local” doctors. You really have to see these guys.

I agree with you but this happens in any place where there is insurgency. What I know is violence breed violence. Unless the military establishment understands we will see this vicious cycle go on and on. The situation of Quetta has been partly affected by the Baloch’s, what about taleban influence there? the killing of Hazara’s for instance has also been carried out by Baloch’s?

6. Nawaz Sharif is the biggest manafiq in the history of Pakistan. He is just giving these statements to get a few votes. He sat on his fat butt when punjabis and urdu-speaking were being butchered in Balochistan. If he loves the Baloch so much, then he should send his sons to live for some time in Balochistan and enjoy the “hospitality”. It is very easy to keep yourself and your family away from harm’s way and pass judgements on the punjabis whose families have been killed by these Balochs.

Well anyone who plays a role in ending this conflict is a good thing, even if its NS or anyone. During any conflict people will be killed and thats what happened in Balochistan, as the Punjabi equated to traitors (Punjabi spies) in the eyes of the people living there. This happened in Bangladesh as well, there are a lot of similarities between Bangladesh and Balochistan and that’s what we need to be vary of.

7. Ataullah has his tail between his legs because pakistan army has broken the backbone of these foreign backed terrorist baloch groups and NOW they want peace talk. Peace has been restored in Balochistan (relatively speaking). I mean at least now people can move about in Quetta without getting killed or kidnapped. The head of the snake must be crushed and then you will see these same rebels begging even more.

What’s your solution to the problem? Kill all the Baloch terrorists? By the way most of the ordinary Baloch people have been disillusioned from the concept of Pakistan and they think that Pakistan does not care for them. NATO with the backing of all the first world countries couldn’t finish off the insurgency in Afghanistan and now they want to talk to taleban. IRA, Spanish Basque Party have renounced violence through negotiations.

8. A large majority of Balochs are peace loving people and these terrorist, CIA and RAW backed hindu balochs don’t represent even 5% of Balochistan.

This is also your personal feeling, when you cant have Pakistan independence day functions in Balochistan schools freely now. That tells you that something’s wrong.

At the end of the day the solution will be through dialogue whether we like it or not, and if Ata ullah Mengal (who the Baloch’s revere) wants to play a role in its end I think the military and the government should take the opportunity to end the crisis once for all.

Here are some tweets from moderate Baloch elements who have been a part of parliament:

The only development Balochistan has witnessed during Musharraf regime is 62% increase of police stations to suppress moderate elements.
