Re: Bugti is my hero: says ex Corp Commander
A powerful sign of the mood of the average Baloch now..
dude is no avg baloch first of all.
secondly, what a man, all this storng convictions and all tpok a backseat for so long, why was that.
or is he an opportuistic person who sees that the mood in political circles is different and maybe he can also ride the coat tails of the current events.
All it is , is a powerful sign of ..people's pursuit of power.
Why don’t they conduct an operation in Sindh? Why don’t they launch an operation in Punjab? Why is there no need for a military operation in NWFP? Why Balochistan each time?” the general asked.
must have been asleep at the wheel when two operations were launched in karachi. oh wait..the dude served as DG of rangers, does he not read history. what are his sentiments about the operations in karachi, he must have been in military then as well.
He said that President General Pervez Musharraf had planned to kill Nawab Bugti much earlier. But he had warned the president of the dire consequences of such an act. Gen Musharraf did not like the advice and consequently fired him from the governorship, he said.
“As a corps commander, I was General Musharraf’s darling. But when I resisted his plans of launching an operation in Balochistan as the Balochistan governor, he suddenly turned against me. By then, he thought it was not safe to keep a Baloch as the governor,” he said.
sounds like a scorned ex gf :)
Gen Baloch rejected the impression that the Baloch sardars were the main obstacle to Balochistan’s development. He pointed out that of the 16 MNAs from Balochistan, there was only one sardar, Yar Mohammad Rind, and out of more than 50 members of the Balochistan Assembly, there is only one sardar, Chief Minister Jam Mohammad Yousaf.
“The rest of them come from the middle class. It is the government itself supporting the sardars. The old sardari system has totally collapsed in Balochistan now. It is nonexistent. Sardars no longer enjoy extreme powers or possess their own armies. They are all democrats,” he said.
well maybe neo-sardars then, but come on man. The dude is dellusional.
but this type of talk may just get him teh vote from the avg jahil baloch, and support from the sardar, and sardar types. the educated population of balochistan would probably have to pick between a few bad options.
