Re: Gwadar Port: redeeming a pledge of socio-economic uplift

Pakap:

FIRST of all, this article is outdated by almost two years.

SECOND, Gwadar project itself is not expected to higher a very high percentage of Gwadaris! It’s what the Gwadaris will reap after their hometown becomes an International Hub for trade and commerce through the South Asian area. It’ll be a gold mine then it might even come to the standard where other big cities in Pakistan are today.

THIRD, I’ve come to realize now why the Gwadar project isnt liked by balochi. It has very little to do with economics, since economically, gwadar project is balochi wet-dream-come-true since its a government paid expansion and invetment in their business-dead reigion. The reason why baloch dont want the Gwadar project is because of their unreasonable dislike of Punjabis. Thats pretty damn awful for me to hear, because as a Punjabi, I’ve never thought badly of balochis because they are also Pakistanis. I dont know maybe the Punjabis of 70s deserved this hate or maybe some sardar had a bad time with a Punjabi so freaking what!? I think Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz is sincerely doing his best to improve condition in balochistan and that more than enough justifies Punjabs consideration and concern for balochi. Pres. Mush. just sent back home 200 + balochi who had been exiled by their very own beloved armed rebels the bugti. I dont know why you guys are so hateful/ maybe its jahalat or sardar influence.

Anyway, Id love to see a more prosperous, educated and reasonable Baloch as an integral part of Pakistan. I can only wish for balochis to share my sentiments.

Excellent points. :k:
