Very true but correct me if im wrong, did nt Bugti take up weapons and become a active part of the insurgency?
I am sure he did it because of no option, and a little "push" from those "based" in Afghanistan.
Bugti was just another thug who thought nothing of squandering balochistans wealth and allowing his people to live such a poor existence. He was a cruel man and anyone who suffered under him, would probably be happy to see what goes around comes around.
When you get past the political theory of how we should bring people back into the political process you have to remember that Bugti started pointing the gun at Pakistan ans became a threat to it. If you were a soldier in that situation what would you do?
He became a traitor. There are many traitors of different forms in Pakistan but when one turns on the state violently theres only got to be one response.
Its easy to talk of political prcoesses when the gun is not at your head!
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.
