Circumstances surrounding Kalat’s accession to Pakistan are even more murkier as compared to that of Kashmir to India. Similarly, Pakhtunkhwa’s referendum was boycotted by the province’s most popular political party and their tallest leader because of exclusion of “Independence” option. Still Pakistan only won it by a slight majority of 50.1%. Did it make the exercise legal ? Sure. But was it moral or ethical ? Decide for yourself.

Like I said before, Is hamam mein dono nange hain, no point in arguing who is carrying more dirt !

Now I am out of this thread, before I get banned

When the referendum in NWFP was held the country was run by the Brits (therefore they decided the bits and pieces of the referendum), Congress was ruling the province, the khudai khidmatgars boycotted the elections as there was no option for independence. The result of the elections was in favour of Pakistan. If the Khudai khidmatgars were so popular why havent they been able to muster popular support in elections in the province, as far as I know ANP (previously NAP) is currently ruling the province for the first time since independence. As far as Balochistan is concerned, the whole province except Kalat state joined Pakistan. Some people raise doubts about the circumstances in which Kalat acceded to Pakistan.
