Balochistan is an integral part
of Pakistan with a history of supporting Resolution of Pakistan-1940, which
envisaged creation of a separate homeland for Muslim majority areas of
sub-continent India. No doubt Baloch leaders and people of Balochistan played a
very vital role in creation of Pakistan and ultimately succeeded under the able
leadership / guidance of Quaid-e-Azam
Muhammad Ali Jinnah and achieved Pakistan as an independent state.
Unfortunately there have been
certain dissident elements that not only opposed the idea of two nation theory
– the fundamental ideological base for creation of Pakistan – but also left no
stone unturned in polluting the minds of innocent Baloch youth by distorting
the history of Balochistan’s accession to Pakistan. In reality before the
independence of Pakistan the territories now consolidated into the province of
Balochistan did not constitute a
settled province?
As regards the deteriorating
situation of Balochistan and the missing persons, everyone knows that Balochistan
Liberation Army (BLA), Baloch Salvation Front (BSF) and their affiliated
outfits including another group, Jundollah (God’s soldiers) which have been
fighting for secession of the province gets logistic support from American CIA
and Indian RAW—these militants kidnapped and killed many innocent people and
the security personnel in the province. They also massacred many persons
through suicide attacks, bomb blasts, targeted killings and sectarian violence.
Therefore, they are responsible for dumped bodies and extrajudicial killings in
the province. On a number of occasions, these insurgent groups claimed
responsibility for their subversive acts. A majority of the disappeared
individuals are also in the detention centers (Farrari Camps) which are being run
by foreign-assisted Baloch feudal lords (Sardars) who want to continue old
system of feudalism in the province so as to maintain their status, prestige
and influence at the cost of people of the province.
No doubt, Baloch leaders and
people of Balochistan played a vital role in creation of Pakistan, and
ultimately succeeded under the able leadership and guidance of Quaid-e-Azam
Muhammad Ali Jinnah in achieving Pakistan as an independent state. As a matter
of fact, Balochistan is an integral part of Pakistan with a history of
supporting Resolution of Pakistan-1940, which envisaged creation of a separate
homeland for Muslim majority areas of the Sub-continent, as the Baloch had
strongly opposed plan of the united India.
Our own intellectuals must
indicate that insurgency of 1948 which started by Shehzada Abdul Karim of Kakat
never took off, because it was not supported by other realist Baloch leaders,
and it was based on misguided thoughts suggested by few Indian Congress
leaders. The aim was to destabilize Pakistan by creating militancy in
Balochistan.
The Miscreants playing in the
hands of the foreign forces are using all brutal and inhuman techniques to
suppress and frighten the people of Balochistan; to create misunderstandings
between the people of Balochistan and the law enforcement agencies of Pakistan.
They mercilessly slaughter the innocent people of Balochistan and throw away
their deformed dead bodies in deserted areas where wild animals tear these
bodies apart. All this is done to add more agony to the already distressed
families. And more painful is the fact that the blame of this atrocity is
shifted to the Law Enforcement Agencies. The brave people of Balochistan are
very well aware of this heinous conspiracy. They are as much devoted, sincere and
patriotic as other Pakistanis are and they are not ready to surrender before
the brutal designs of the miscreants.
Baloch Sub Nationalists (BSN)
distort history of accession of Kalat with Pakistan and give reference of
insurgency (1948) by brother of KoK whereas the document of accession of State
of Kalat with Pakistan was signed by KoK himself as legitimate ruler of State
of Kalat. Baloch Salvation Front has called for a shutter down strike in
Balochistan on 27th March to observe it as Black Day. Since it is the date of
legal accession of State of Kalat with Pakistan, therefore, the strike call is
based on negative contemplation and wicked designs to pollute the minds of
Baloch youth. The same needs to be countered giving true perspective of history
and denouncing the dissidents for distorting the facts in order to advance
their vested interests. However, the government of Pakistan must realize the
painful situation which the people of Balochistan have been facing since long.
They really need more care, more attention and more kindness from their
government and their fellow countrymen.
