I have zero sympathy for traitors like Akbar Bugti who took advantage of every benefit that came from the state of Pakistan - from Governorships to modern amenities but all these sardars kept their people like slaves just like their ancestors did.
I can understand frustrations of unemployed Baloch youth, people cheated by land mafia or Balochistan not getting due royalties, gas connections etc.
But taking up arms with aim of creating another Bangladesh is not justified. Poverty and injustice exists all across Pakistan and these SArdars and their foreign masters need to be exterminated with extreme prejudice.
Good riddance!
Its not a matter of sympathy, but of pragmatism. The death of any Pakistani citizen is nothing to be satisfied over.
If you can not bring someone like Bugti back in to the political process, someone who has sat in the company of nuwabzada nasrullah & PML & PPP, MQM, etc, how can you bring a militant sardaar into it who has never known national prominence ?
If there is something to be learnt from East Pakistan is that you cant solve problems by killing people. Even if they are irreconcilable, you would rather render them politically impotent instead of murdering them.
I doubt the underprivileged youth you have sympathy for would be thrilled at Bhugtis death, instead it has provided a focal point for the release of angst accumulated over the years. Just like the Rape of the lady doctor proved to be a catalyst. It has to be a carrot and a stick policy.
I blame Mush for mishandling the situation.
