Re: Nawab Akbar Bugti Killed (MERGED)
I’m not talking just about wealthy Punjabis but of everyone, Punjabi or not, who simply think that if it doesn’t affect them, it’s not their problem or just “chlata hai” attitude towards what army does. Clearly, if 90% of Sindh were to oppose the army, the rulers wouldn’t even budge, but if 90% of Punjab did the same, we would see results.
As for joing army to change things, it’s hard to change a system like the army since once you join you become part of it because of the orders you have to follow. I actually know someone who used to be an MQM member and then joined the army and is doing well. He has become part of the system.
nstar, why are you ready to give up on Pakistan before even trying to fix the situation?
What is more important to you, Musharaf’s ego or Pakistan’s integrity?
Army’s hold on power or Pakistan’s integrity?
Centralized power in Islamabad or Pakistan’s integrity?
Why in the rush to break up Pakistan, when there are so many options before us? Have you read the parliamentary report on Balochistan? Why is it not being followed?
If the government can make peace with Taliban in Waziristan, why couldn’t it have done the same with Akabr Bugti?
Why is granting provinces the power they deserve so much worse then breaking up Pakistan? Is giving Balochis the power to do what they want with gas revenue so much worse then threatening Pakistan’s unity?
