Re: Burning of Pakistani flag and dafacing Quaid-e-Azam’s portrait
Well, I believe that what Bugti got (intentional or unintentional), he deserved every bit of it.
As regarding claims that government targeted him is bull-****. If government targeted him, then there would have been no casualties amongst commandos? Army pinpointed the hideout thus after pinpointing, they could have easily destroyed that from above without even landing or entering the hideout that caused all the casualties amongst government side. So, losses amongst commandos is proof that government wanted to arrest Bugti and did not wanted to kill him. Regardless, what happened is what Bugti deserved.
Was Bugti fighting for the right of Balochs? Obviously not as tribal leaders like Bugti were obstacle in the development and their purpose of fighting was to keep balochistan underdeveloped. It is obvious as they were peaceful with government before start of present massive development in Balochistan but when development started, they took up arms against the government. Thus, their going to war with government was nothing to do with Balochistan’s rights but was to do with keeping Balochistan under developed.
** Government had choice of making these tribal leaders happy by giving them power and money and stopping all development work in Balochistan or take their challenge and keep development work in Balochistan. So much investment and development work has never happened in Balochistan before Musharaf (just because all were appeasing these pathetic sardars and not caring about the people).**
The scare mongering drama-bazi of these sardars that development would make them minority in their province is bull-****. There are more Balochs living outside Balochistan (especially Sindh but also in Punjab) then in Balochistan. Obviously, if development creates jobs and would increase population due to inter provincial migration towards balochistan, government of Balochistan could easily bring law to give preferences to Baloch from all over Pakistan in government jobs (many of whom are educated and well qualified too).
** Problem with these sardars are three (if not more, like pigheadedness, evilness and barbarism) that led them to take up arms against the government** (actually taking up arms was just for sake of blackmailing government to back down from development work in Balochistan):
One: Stopping promotion of education and development in their areas: Education would make people (people of the tribe) think, realize their human and citizen rights, and start demanding justice not from sardars but from state even against sardars. Development in Balochistan would give opportunity to tribe people finding jobs (outside the influence of sardar) and thus reduce influence of sardars over their tribe, as jobs elsewhere would stop dependence (at the moment, only source) for their livelihood on sardars (like Bugti).
Two: Desiring financial status co: Along with trying to educate and develop Balochistan, government is also trying to reduce (or stop) money they pay to sardars to look after their area and people (though sardars use that money not for benefit of people but to raise private army, pay their loyal and increase their influence over the people by atrocities, murder or whatever).
Three: Preservation of their power over their area and tribe: Government is also trying to change the status of the areas from taking it away from the governance of sardars and bringing it under the governance of the state (so that laws Pakistan could be implemented all over Balochistan). That is to make all of Balochistan from B areas to A areas (at present only 5 percent is A areas, 95 percent B areas). It is challenge to sardars as their criminal activities and atrocities over their own tribe will finish, rather they will also have to follow laws even in their own triabal land, as anyone can take them to court on breaking the law.
As for those saying that he should not have got killed should also justify what they are saying.
Bugti decided to challenge the state with arms. He and his men started shooting and killing law enforcers, innocent citizens, properties of individuals and provincial infrastructure.
Is that OK? If I take up arms in any country against the official forces of that country, what would happen to me?
Under what law the people in law enforcement should spare him while Bugti was killing them and killing innocent Balochs (citizens), destroying properties and infrastructure of Balochistan?
If any person (individual or tribal), be they leaders or individuals from Punjab, Sindh, Sarhad, Tribal Areas or Balochistan, take up arms and declares war against the state, killing people in the army, people of law enforcement and ordinary citizen, they should be eliminated. How can anyone (on this forum or anywhere) justify what Bugti was doing in Balochistan and saying that Government should not have tried to kill him?
It is donkey brain to think that a person take up arms, start killing others too and then expect that others should not shoot him.
Bugti was neither freedom fighter nor he was fighting for the rights of the people. He was pathetic tribal leader who was trying to blackmail government into submission by using his army of mercenaries so that he can do atrocities over his people who were/are equal citizen of Pakistan and in theory had same rights over all part of Pakistan what he had.
[Note: Freedom fighters get killed (get shaheed) fighting for a cause (if that really exists, like in Kashmir, Palestine etc) and many are proud of that. No one even say that freedom fighters should kill but should not get killed (only idiots would say that). We only hope that freedom fighters sacrifices do not go wasted. As for Bugti, he was just a hooligan and got killed for no good cause that people should be proud of him and thus grieve on his death]
Politicians are shedding tears on his death, as most (including those in government) are similar to him and are worried because they are seeing bleak future for their privileged rights in Pakistan. Many are scared of seeing education, developments, and impartial justice system in Pakistan. No politicians, especially those that have tribal and wadera background (including those in government) wants to see changes in Pakistan prevailing situation (situation that exists at present) as they are having a nice time suppressing people of Pakistan (mostly people living under their protection and control, be they haris, kisans or tirbes).
Thus, it is no surprise that politicians from opposition and treasury, both sides, showed grief over the death of Bugti. These parasites, both in government and opposition, deserve same fate what Bugti got. Though it is unfortunate that it is difficult even for a person like Musharaf (as Pakistan elites, be they in army, politic, businesses, academics, journalists, bureaucracy, judiciary etc, are full of these people and to alienate all is impossible for anyone, especially when majority of Pakistanis are uneducated and have tribal mentality).
