Denial of Truth and Molding the facts are first hand tools by Fascist elements in Baluchistan

Before going through my post please read or download the report by Human Rights Watch from there website : http://www.hrw.org/node/94788 (both English and Urdu versions are available and will take some quotes from it here, but you must read it completely ) Also read the statements from these blogs:

Pakistan: Balochistan Militants Killing Teachers | Human Rights Watch www.hrw.org
First of all the same people who are demanding the report of HRW, was calling them and international community to interfere in Baluchistan but when the report is being presented they have denied it Transformed teachers to spies? Interesting isn't it? let me quote the bios of the teachers from that Report  http://www.hrw.org/node/94788 here:
 Education Personnel Killed January 2008 to October 2010 
A survey of press accounts conducted by Human Rights Watch combined with our own field investigations indicate that at least 22 educational personnel were killed from January 2008 to October 2010. This survey included any education personnel killed even when it was unclear from the reporting who the perpetrator was, or what the motive was behind selection of the target. Whatever the ultimate motive for the killing, such attacks on teachers have a major impact on educators in the province, and thus on providing quality education to the province’s children and youth. The security situation in Balochistan severely impaired Human Rights Watch’s ability to individually investigate each attack. However, when we were able to identify and interview family members, close acquaintances, or eyewitnesses in these cases, their accounts were consistent with the press reporting. To accommodate security concerns of interviewees, we
are not able to indicate all cases that we verified with interviews. The same security-related factors that limited Human Rights Watch’s research may have also affected the ability of journalists to fully document the killings. As a result, the following list of teachers who have been killed is unlikely to be complete, especially in harder-to-reach cases
outside urban areas. The cases below appear in reverse chronological order.

Abdul Jalil
On May 25, 2010, Abdul Jalil, a retired teacher, was shot by unidentified armed men riding on a motorcycle after he collected his pension from a bank in Mastung. An eight-year-old boy, believed to be a bystander, was also hit and died
A retired teacher who hardly lives on pension, how can he become a spy? It was just a target killing on the bases of racisum for fascisum ideology of Free Balochistan

Nazima Talib
On April 27, 2010, two masked men on a motorcycle gunned down Nazima Talib, an assistant professor at Balochistan University, when she was travelling from the university by auto rickshaw (motorcycle taxi) on Sariab road in Quetta. The university closed for a three day mourning period Media reported the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was retaliation for the killing of two Baloch women in Quetta and Pasni, and the torture of female political workers in Mand and Tump,
--> I personally know her she was my teacher as well I have written a detail post about her here:

 Fazal Bari
On March 22, 2010, Fazal Bari, principal of Tameer-e-Nau High school in Quetta, was traveling to school when gunmen on a motorcycle fired on his car, killing him and wounding his driver. The BLA claimed responsibility for the killing Bari’s body was taken to the Civil Hospital in Quetta. Many students from his school congregated outside the hospital and began protesting their teacher’s death and the government’s failure to stop it. Police used tear gas to disperse the students and charged at them with batons. Media reported that the police detained three students.The school’s administration closed the school for several days to protest and mourn his death, amidst demands from administration and staff that the government guarantee their security. A close friend of Bari’s told Human Rights Watch that the teacher “loved teaching and for decades he remained associated with this profession. He wanted to stay in Quetta
and continue teaching.”
--> He was a excellent person and a backbone of intermediate and secondary education in Balochistan, on the basis of racisum and to break the already backward educational system in Balochistan they killed him, Was he doing a spy work ?


Shafiq Ahmed
On October 26, 2009, armed men on motorcycles shot and killed Balochistan’s Education Minister, Shafiq Ahmed, a Quetta native, while he was outside his home. A relative was also injured in the attack. The BLUF claimed responsibility. Educational institutions in the province were closed for three days of mourning following the attack. 
--> The main reason behind his killing was that he knows the target killers and he was going to tell the public about them, In his killing provisional government who is supporting covertly to these Black Souls of Balochistan is involved.


Safdar Kayani
On April 22, 2008, Safdar Kayani, pro-vice Chancellor (provost) at the University of Balochistan, was killed when two gunmen on a motorbike opened fire as he came out of his home in Green Town on Sariab Road in Quetta for a routine evening walk. The BLA claimed responsibility. BLA spokesman Beebargh Baloch said that Kayani was targeted because he worked for the intelligence agencies and that it had warned Kayani against involvement in
student activities. Kayani had been at Balochistan University since 1979.
--> He and his family are so simple and white colored people who couldn’t even harm a child even that child abuses them? Isn’t it hypocracy by that indian agent or Bramdagh bugti (both names have similar meanings)


Above facts are just few from the report by HRW, now the bodies are being found in Baluchistan and the Black Souls (Sarmachar’s) are propagating for innocence, state terrorism etc. in their blog and replies for this HRW report that they killed those teachers as considering them spies for Baloch Nation, OK if you say it is ok to kill spies but when in retaliation state is washing out your target killers who are mostly drunk people as usual you are claiming them innocent people and making them symbol of Fascism? Propagating for state terrorism ? isn’t it hypocrisy or you don’t know how to fight a war? I’m saying war because they consider themselves in so called war which is usually fought between nations and countries not like such a low level racism based insurgency who is purely run by their master india the devil.

Similarly a lot has been written on an innocent woman being tortured and kept as a sex slave in the torture cells of Pakistan Army. A fairy tale legend “Zarina Marri” emerging out of the propaganda campaign being sponsored by RAW and few Pakistani brethren who are mistaken that they are somehow serving the cause of Balochi people.

• The tale of Mr Munir Mengal’s arrest and torture by Military Intelligence/ Army had been reported by media during his detention in 2006/07/08. However, re-emergence of said issue after a lapse of 10 months of his release from prison, at the time when Pakistan is already a target of Indian propaganda campaign (on acct of 26/11), is astonishing/ intriguing. Mr Munir Mengal has added spice to his tale alleging that a Baloch woman was offered as sex slave for reasons best known to him. The concocted story has attracted the attention of international media and human rights activists as expected. The whole affair appears to be a malicious campaign to malign the image of Pakistan and its Army/ intelligence agencies in particular.
• Allegation of using Zarina Marri as sex slave was first published by RSF web site on 11 Dec 2008. Same news was published on AHRC website on 12 Jan 2009. Subsequently various newspapers published the news each time with additional allegations without mentioning any source or credible evidence.
• Mr. Munir Mengal at present is apparently in France from where he is uploading articles on a free Web News Portal “NowPublic.com”. According to the website details, he is member of the said portal since Dec 2008 and has posted 4 venomous articles only after 3 Jan 2009 on various issues aimed at maligning Pakistan and Pakistan Army.
• Dr Shazia’s case which sparked the insurgency and counter military operation, occurred on 5/6 Jan 2006. Arrest of a school teacher by Law Enforcement Agencies prior to militancy and Operations by Law Enforcement Agencies is least likely.

DICHOTOMIES / QUESTIONS ARISING FROM THE STORY
• The sole source of information is Munir Mengal. No correspondent/ agency have bothered to counter check the details from other sources. The name of RSF’s reporter who claimed to have conducted an interview has not been revealed.
• The record of visitors of Khuzdar Jail does not have any entry to the effect that any ICRC representative met Mr Munir Mengal. Though a team of ICRC was granted permission to visit Khuzdar/ Mach and Loralai Jails from 30 Jul to 11 Aug 07, no record exist about the said visit to Khuzdar Jail. However, the record of Mach Jail contains entry of Mr Andrew’s visit which is irrelevant.
• According to the RSF report she is referred as a 23 years old school teacher from Kohlu, arrested by Law Enforcement Agencies in late 2005 and shifted to Karachi for use as sex slave by some Military Intelligence setup. Whereas as employees record of EDO Education Kohlu, no woman namely Zarina Marri ever existed in the area as school teacher.
• According to local Marri tribesmen in Kohlu, using name of a Marri woman is part of propaganda to humiliate Marri Clan. Some Marris’ are of the opinion the issue has been raised as a conspiracy to create unrest and insurgency in relatively calm and peaceful Marri areas and derail reconciliation process with Khair Buksh Marri.
• If at all she was arrested by FC or some intelligence agency, why she was shifted to Karachi for alleged use as sex slave? It is not only illogical but absurd as well.
• Mr. Munir Mengal has also made contradictory statements regarding his encounter with Zarina Marri:-
o He initially claims that the girl was thrown naked in the cell.
o Later (after few sentences) he states that when the Subedar returned and found them sitting apart, he torn their clothes.
• Marri Itehad has not conceded to Zarina Marri’s conspiracy and has announced that it is trying to find out the credentials of the said woman and her parents.
• On 4th Aug 07, he was handed over to Khuzdar Police. Very next day, representatives of ICRC visited Khuzdar Jail and investigated the torture inflicted on Munir Mengal which is a surprising coincidence. ICRC representative Andrew Bartles-Smith’s credentials are also doubtful. He is a UK national settled in Nepal.
• He was detained in Khuzdar Jail for just eleven days. During this short time, he claims to have been visited several times by human rights activists while nobody met him in Quetta jail for almost six months.
• The initial news regarding detention and ill treatment of Mr. Munir Mengal was broken by RSF on 11 Dec 2008. The Daily Times broke the news in Pakistan with its edition edited on 11 Dec and published on 12 Dec i.e. with in few hours.
• The exaggerated version of said report was re-published by AHRC with a gap of 32 days on the AHRC website on 12 Jan 2009 without indicating any source for additional details. This dichotomy was also pointed out by Asma Jehangir ‘Chair Person HRCP’.
• Mr. Munir Mengal never had any article to his credit till 3 Jan 2009; to accredit him as a journalists’ status. However; since that date he has written 4 articles within two weeks, which may not be easy to digest and points to sponsorship. More so the spectrum and range of issues discussed in the articles is also pro Indian.
• The inclusion of following subsidiary themes in four articles attributed to Munir Mengal on the website “nowpublic.com” appearing after 3 Jan have strange similarity with Indian propaganda campaign against Pakistan. These propaganda themes are, ‘Islamic fundamentalism/ extremism’, Pak support for Taliban/ Al-Qaida, ‘Pak nuclear bomb threat to Christian and Jewish world’ and Anti Hindu sentiment.
• These coincidences suggest possible Indian involvement in propagating this issue —-
o The emergence of this scandal with in two weeks of Mumbai blast amidst threats from Indian leaders.
o Daily times which broke the news simultaneously along with RSF is well known for Indian sponsorship.
o AHRC which has taken up the issue has dubious credentials (leaning) and same has been alleged by HRCP’s Asma Jehangir.
o The similarity of views of Munir Mengal and Indian Propaganda Campaign.
• The activities of Mr. Andrew Bartles-Smith the much mentioned ICRC representative who allegedly visited Munir Mengal several times have neither been confirmed/ refuted by ICRC. Also, ICRC news and reports on the web do not have any mention of the said visits or disclosures.
• The credentials of RSF are also questionable as the site has never raised allegations against Indians in such a blunt manner in case of mishandling/ detention/ missing journalists e.g. Rehmat Ullah Indian Occupied Kashmir (published Daily Rehmat) and Maqbool Sahil are such cases in pt.
• The credibility of AHRC reports on Pakistan is also doubtful as three out of its ten members of advisory board are Indians, while one of the directors is also Indian with few others having Indian origin/ Hindus. Amongst the Indians Mr. B. R. P. Bhasker: Reputed Journalist and a Trustee of Vigil India Movement, India is of dubious credentials and suspected to have initiated/ sponsored said story on AHRC forum.
• The picture of Zarina Marri, uploaded on http://www.Gwank.org/ is also fake. The picture very clearly bears the name “Arash Khan” which is duly marked on the picture. It is suspected that the picture has been retrieved from some other site and subsequently uploaded as Zarina Marri.
• Why the initial Missing list of Marri ladies at “Baloch Voice” website never bore Zarina Marri’s name. However, in the recently updated list of 872 missing Balochis, three ladies ref at serial 74, 75 and 76 bear Shah Gul as father whereas their family names are different i.e Alia Khan, Maria Shah, and Zarina Marri. Surprisingly other two sisters of Zarina Marri are missing since 10 Oct 2006, whereas Zarina Marri is missing since 10 Oct 2005 i.e a yr prior, exactly on the same date, which clearly speaks of fabrications and falsehood of the concocted tale.

New Chapter in Baluchistan Game -- Abducted Balochs and dead Bodies found in Baluchistan.

Considering the fact that there are lots of missing balochs and we have seen in newspaper and other media, bodies are being surfaced in different areas of Baluchistan, mostly have recived bullets from behind and message on their back. Terrifying events take place in our country. Unless we are in some way directly affected, we tend to ignore them. The secret world of death and torture lies deep below the gaze of most of us. The of the discovery of 21 bodies since July this year, all apparently belonging to nationalists, in various cities in Balochistan is chilling. They had all died in identical fashion: a bullet piercing their skulls, hands tied behind the back and torture marks on the bodies. The style of execution brings back memories of other similar, and equally sinister, deaths. That of journalist Hayatullah Khan, whose body was found in the North Waziristan town of Mir Ali in 2006, was one such victim. The agency theory holds common among many Baloch.We may never know the whole truth. But perception is in some ways more important than reality. The belief that state agencies are responsible will only aggravate the deep anger that runs through Balochistan and is directed against the federation. The government needs to take urgent note of the situation. While its Balochistan package specifically speaks of discovering the whereabouts of missing people in the province, today more continue to vanish within it. 
“The foreign element, especially the element there in Afghanistan,

“In order to stop target killings there must be target killing of those who are killing innocent people,” the CCPO said, adding they would send bodies to those who were sending bodies of security personnel and civilians.” Remember these words by Shabbir Sheikh on May 6, 2010. When he made that statement followed by the IG of FC : India and Afghanistan are supporting an insurgency in Balochistan, trying to bolster the leadership of separatists fighting the government, chief of the Frontier Corps (FC) paramilitary force in Balochistan said, 14 Bharati "Consulates" are RAW terror centers spreading sabotage across the border in Pakistan. ‘Increasing Indian influence in Afghanistan is likely to exacerbate regional tensions and encourage Pakistani countermeasures in Afghanistan or India.’ (Gen Stanley McChrystal). “A lot of evidence of Indian involvement through Afghanistan is there, supporting the separatist movement,” Major General Salim Nawaz, inspector general of the FC in Balochistan, said. General Nawaz said the separatists were not very strong as they did not have enough foot soldiers or a proper command-and-control structure.

it was said that in Balochistan the people either feared the FC (Frontier Corps) or Allah !! Jokes aside this meant that the FC being a force governed by law of jungle fired without restraint , killed without remorse and operated above all laws. It was common that the FC killed civilians and buried them unreported, as many other government functionaries do in Baluchistan! FC is divided into two types of corps i.e Internal Security (IS) and Anti-Smuggling. Although initially a border force in Baluchistan , FC Corps were raised in all parts of Baluchistan’s interior and borders after 1947 and by 1985 nearly district of Baluchistan had an FC Corps ! The FC was nearly 90 % if not 95 % Pashtun although Punjabi recruitment has been reportedly increased lately! It was traditionally more active in border areas while its IS corps were not employed in active policing!
“Personals from FC had reportedly complained that they have caught lots of terrorists and target killers but they are being released either by the phone calls of Black sheep sitting in provisional and federal governments or by the slow and corrupt process of current judicial system. “

After each killing of innocent civilians or FC, soul less sarmachars of BLA and other fascist organizations in Baluchistan were chanting for the deaths of FC or even armless civilians on the bases of racisum. In such conditions FC adopted it’s traditional style of extra judicial encounter  to abduct and kill, the above statement of CCPO Shabir Shiekh became into reality. Although I do not support such measures to curb terrorism in Baluchistan because it is being projected in wrong sense. The propagandist of these Target Killing Movements over the internet or on ground now trying to project the bodies of these target killers (90%) as innocent people while the same people were the slogan chanters on the killings of Pakistanis either they were balochs or non-balochs, civilians or non-civilians. Many of these propagandist are not even balochs but being installed by our foreign elements or joined by the dead movement of Jeya Sindh or Sindhdesh. 

“If you proclaim that you are at war with Pakistan (just a propaganda by some fascists) than why you pledge now, when your terrorists are being killed as they were killing innocents?”


“A tit for Tat” reply by FC has sharply decreased the target killings in Baluchistan because most of these killers are being targeted and thrown into open areas of Baluchistan to spread fear. But it is not the proper solution because these culprits back by chankeya ideology feed by india are now threatening balochs. They are now projecting their vision towards the killing of Balochs now. So why will this benefit them? Because the killings of balochs even by them will be projected by them as killing by Pakistan Army or FC. So they will get double points by projecting that every baloch is being prosecuted in Baluchistan by FC as even they have killed them. The John Solenkey case and killing of those 3 Balochs were just a test drive to play such card on broader level.

See this interview of Banok Baloch. She can give interview to Indians but not to any Muslim country’s media. So you have to understand from where they are adopting ideology and support. No Muslims can go to such country who slaughter Muslims on daily bases such as India or Israel. But to shadow the Kashmir cause and stop the development of Pakistan through Baluchistan and blocking the China to reach Indian Ocean via Gwadar. India is fully working against Pakistan in Baluchistan by supporting such elements.


Some Points from above link;
1> Firstly I would like to make this clear that our struggle is not a religious struggle; Baluchistan does not have a religious movement. Our struggle is based on pure nationalism. By Neglecting religion as in secular countries state and religion are different matters, but in Islam it is not. So by accepting above core point divide a Islamic country on the bases of race or new word “Nationalism”

2>Pakistan, which seized our (Baloch nation’s) freedom on 27 march 1948 using military aggression.Pre written text from india to falsefy Kashmir with Baluchistan and fool the world and new generation, confuse them that Baluchistan and Kashmir is same, While in reality true Kashmir Freedom Movement is not only for Pakistan but on the bases of Two Nation Theory which India is trying to omit it in Baluchistan and elsewhere in india as well as Kashmir

3> Baloch women are employing every possible political mean used in liberation movements, and the false cases upon them in the anti terrorist courts of Pakistan indicate the threat they pose on Pakistan’s occupation of Baluchistan. I’m also a Baloch women go to Kalat, Khuzdar, Mastung and rural areas of Baluchistan, A Woman can’t even go to another house on Rikshaw? So how many are being employed with her? Even those girls who are in Government Colleges always accompanied by men; false information to the world through indian media by indian agent.

4> We are arming our nation’s daughters with ideology and a thinking pattern, that ideology leads them to face every odd in the struggle. You are arming the armature minds with fascism written in new delhi and leaving your future generations a dark future and for current just Isolation. Instead of educating them you are making Baluchistan’s educational institution as madrasas of your fascist ideology than you blame Pakistan that it is not providing standard of education in Baluchistan. Isn’t it not hypocrisy?

And many other pre written statements by this atheist nationalist to propagate herself as Fatima Jinnah :P but with what? Arms, Socialist, Nationalist Ideologies backed by racism and neglecting the ground facts? And most of all pay comes from India !!


Now coming back to the Provisional Government of Baluchistan (Black Sheep of Pakistan) Since clinching the top executive slot of the province in April 2008, this is the first-ever public statement of Raisani wherein he has openly expressed his grudge against a subsidiary of omnipotent Pakistan Army. The chief minister has categorically stated that the provincial government is unable to rein in the powerful paramilitary force which he added has led to exacerbation of already complicated situation in the province. Alluding to the Frontier Corps, he blamed the force for sabotaging the reconciliation process in Baluchistan and urged the federal government to discourage all such forces in Baluchistan which are bent on disrupting peace in the province. He said the federal government had made a commitment to put the Frontier Corps under the provincial government’s command in its latest package announced for Baluchistan, but lamented that no progress has so far been made in this regard. He denounced the Centre for what he called its apathetic attitude towards the aggravating situation in Baluchistan and warned Islamabad not to call him to account if the situation goes out of control in the province.

Rewind your memories about MQM(Mutahida) and MQM(Haqiqi) Division and their ruthless encounters in Karachi in 90s so it is being repeated in Baluchistan as well in 2010 onwards. 

A new group identifying itself Baloch Musallah Defai Tanzeem (Baloch Armed Defence Organization) claimed the responsibility for firing on BSO (Azad) rally in Khuzdar. A man, Mazan Baloch, who called himself as spokesman for the organization made a telephone call to Khuzdar press club warning all the Baloch students and political parties to give a wide berth to BSO (Azad) and not to participate in its rallies and other programs. He also threatened to take ten lives in reaction if the militant group Baloch Liberation Army kills a single Baloch. Expressing his reaction to this claim from an unknown location via satellite phone, a spokesman for Baloch Liberation Movement, another militant outfit, Zorin Baloch affirmed that this new organization has been formed under the aegis of Frontier Corps and intelligence agencies to combat the Baloch armed struggle for their rights. He claimed those involved in firing on the rally have been identified and threatened that they would soon face a fate worse than death.

Fascism has openly conveyed this message to all Balochs in Balochistan to join them or they will even try to prosecute them as well, this is the same technique which being adopted by them from another terrorist fiction operating in NWFP ie Tehrike e Taliban Pakistan (TTP). They did the same forcefully joining request to all people in NWFP such as Swat or wazaristan to join or you will be dead. The same masters of both TTP and BLA that is RAW is applying the same technique in Baluchistan now. 

While BLA guns down Baloch Journalist in Khuzdar in past week. A former president of Khuzdar Press Club and a senior journalist belonging to a news agency was gunned down by unidentified persons on Sunday afternoon in Khuzdar district. Some unknown attackers opened indiscriminate fire on Mohammad Khan Sasoli, a former president of Khuzdar Press Club and a correspondent of Independent News of Pakistan (INP) and Daily Aaj Kal, near Faisal Hotel in Khuzdar District on Sunday afternoon when he was driving along with his family. He died on the spot when his rammed into a shop as he failed to control it due to bullet injuries. Two persons were injured in the incident. Chief Minister Balochistan Nawab Mohammad Aslam Raisani has condemned the target killing of Faiz Mohammad Sasoli and ordered the health department in Khuzdar district to provide necessary medical treatment to the injured people of the incident. No group has accepted responsibility for the murder even though it appeared to be a case of target killing. Previously, another journalist working with Daily Azadi, Haji Wasi Ahmed, had also been killed in Khuzdar. Faiz is the third journalist from Pakistan’s restive southwestern Balochistan province to be killed during the ongoing armed conflict. Dr. Chishti Mujahid, a journalist working with Weekly Akhbar-e-Jahan, had also been killed in Quetta two years ago for which the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) had accepted responsibility. According to locals Faiz had been receiving threats from certain quarters in the past and he had been targeted twice but he had survived the attacks . A text message issued by “Freelance News”, a network that caters to SMS news of Baloch nationalist groups, termed Faiz Sasoli as a ring leader of Baloch Defense Armed Group (BDAG), which has been operating against Baloch Students Organisation (BSO-Azad) and Balochistan National Party-Mengal. “

Chief minister Raisani’s reproaching of the Frontier Corps has taken aback not only the military and paramilitary top brass, but also the Baloch nationalist parties and seasoned observers and analysts. It is because the chief minister himself had requisitioned the paramilitary troops to assist the civil administration in maintaining peace in many districts of the province including Quetta, Khuzdar, Gwadar, Lasbella, Kalat, Bolan, Hurnai, Loralai and Killa Abdullah and now he himself is blaming the same force for running a parallel government in the province. A latest requisition in this regard was submitted to the Inspector General of the Frontier Corps only two days after the chief minister’s statement in which the force’s assistance had been sought for restoring peace in Jaffarabad district where an armed clash between the supporters of Mir Aali Bugti and Shahzain Bugt – the two grandsons of late Nawab Mohammad Akbar Khan Bugti – was going on for the last few days over the possession of some land which has rendered several people killed and many others injured. The request was honoured on Thursday, January 22, and FC troops were immediately deployed in the affected area which brought about an end to the week-long gun battle. In return for its peace keeping services, the present provincial administration has so far paid a sum of Rs189 millions to the Frontier Corps while another hundreds of millions are yet to be paid to them.

Now, if the chief minister really considers the Frontier Corps a thorn in his flesh then why is he calling in the same force to different parts of the province in the name of maintaining peace and thereby paying it a huge amount in return for its services by narrowing down uplift schemes meant for welfare of the impoverished people? What are the reasons barring him from recalling the Frontier Corps troops to their barracks once peace is maintained in the disturbed areas? Amazingly, instead of wielding his prerogative power to call back the paramilitary troops from various districts in Baluchistan, the chief minister is blaming the force for bypassing the provincial government and is showing his eagerness to have its command in his hands for which he has also been making demand from the Prime Minister for quite long time to make the Frontier Corps accountable to him instead of the federal government. If Raisani’s demand was met by the federal government what would be the guarantee that the force would not be used, like the police and levies, by the provincial government to crush its political opponents? Moreover, once, such practice starts in Baluchistan then it would, indeed, spill over into other provinces as well and the same demand would also be made by other provincial governments to put their respective paramilitary forces under their command which, thereby, would destroy the entire paramilitary structure in the country which Pakistan can not afford at least at this critical juncture of history when it is confronting sore threats from its eastern and western borders.

The entire nation is evident as to what is happening with police force in Pakistan. Is not it being used by the sitting incumbents against their political rivals? Moreover, Pakistan’s history shows that Army has always been the most powerful force in the country which have never accepted the supremacy of civilian rulers and have always proved them superior by driving the sitting governments according to their own will and volition. Given this mindset of the military, it is almost impossible that Raisani’s dream to have Frontier Corps strings in his hands would ever be materialized. So, this demand of the Balochistan chief minister is entirely irrational and injudicious.

Even Osama Bin Laden has family but having a family does not state that one of their family member is not a Terrorist because he has a family. Many youngsters in Baloch families specially attached to nationalism (based upon socialism/atheism/racism) are being brought up under the umbrella of hate towards Pakistan. So the young balochs of ages (15-25) who have less maturity just started bluntly following these fascist agendas similarly like TTP who brainwashed or forced many youngsters to become suicide bombers. Although technique and grounds are different for both BLA and TTP but they have common masters and there school of thought. So don’t just go for some pics and videos posted by these elements always think around the circle. “Baluchistan is not Kashmir”. Many balochs living happily in Pakistan and we should come in front of these hijackers of our nation “Baloch” and integrate us into the current system. We should think to change the current corrupt system instead of burning our own home.

The reality of “Fake struggle of Free(Fascist) Baluchistan”

A leader is known from his deeds, outlooks, leadership qualities and speeches or statements he/she made. Quaid e Azam and Dr. Allama Iqbal is well known for these qualities not only in our country but beyond our borders, and in today’s era we can see such qualities in hurriyat leader of Indian Occupied Kashmir, Mr. Syed Ali Shah Gillani. Such leaders who has grip on politics, have love for themselves in the hearts of enemies or followers; can only lead a true freedom struggle.
Dose Bramdagh Bugti or any other Black Souls in Baluchistan have guts like above mentioned leaders? Their deeds can only remind us the past phrase of “mir sadiq or mir qasim” or in present “Just paid terrorists and racists”
In today’s Baluchistan, the foreign funded fake liberation movement is being run on the bases of terrorism and racism by some thugs, who are born with the silver spoon as sons of sardars (tribal chiefs) in Baluchistan such as Balach Marri, Bramdagh Bugti, Harbiyar Marri, etc. If you go through their past & present life style you will never get any good quality of leadership instead of private militia runners.

Baluchistan is attached with Iran as well as with landlocked Afghanistan with which it shares 1200 km border and single crossing point at Chaman. About 8-12000 people cross the border daily and 3-4000 vehicles cross Chaman checkpoint daily. Balochistan has huge quantities of natural gas and unexplored oil reserves. It is the largest province covering 48% of Pakistan territory. However, its population accounts for only 5% of total population of Pakistan. It is divided into Baloch, Brahvi, Pathans, Hazaras, settlers and Mekranis living along Mekran coast. Population of settlers is more than others; they have contributed a lot in development of province. There are several Baloch nationalist parties with differing agendas but all are secular. There is no single party that represents Baloch voice or any worthwhile leader who can galvanize the people. There are 70 exploitative tribal Sardars that control the destiny of their respective tribes with an iron hand and have deliberately kept the people backward. Of the 70, Sardars of Bugti, Marri and Mengal are most influential and troublemakers and each maintains private militia. Bugtis and Marris were on warpath till as late as 2005.

Successive governments are equally guilty of keeping the province under developed since they appeased Sardars instead of uplifting the province. Economic deprivation and political victimization led to Marri-Mengal led insurgency in 1970s; now again the Baloch are up in arms against the government. Contrary to Baloch inhabited areas which are restive, the Pashtun belt is peaceful since Pathans are relatively more educated, they are religious minded and are involved in business. They have kept the militants of Waziristan and Taliban at bay. Mekran belt was also peaceful but of late has become restless. Neither Pashtuns nor Hazaras share the idea of separation for they know that they would be biggest losers in independent Baluchistan ruled by Atheist and Socialist ideological Black Souls.


Baluchistan has remained under developed because of lack of interest of federal and provincial leaders. Power has remained in the hands of Baloch Sardars who have pursued anti-people policies and have worst record of human rights violations.. Leading a regal life they have kept their people illiterate and in abject poverty. While in power they did little for the development of Baluchistan.. Governed by medieval tribal system, cases of burying women alive and throwing women suspected of adultery to dogs in the name of honor have occurred. Ratio of population (5%) viz. area 48% of Pakistan and that too scattered, lack of education and infrastructure are other reasons for its backwardness. In order to remove the sense of deprivation of people of Baluchistan, Gen Musharraf led regime allocated huge funds for the province and sanctioned several mega projects. When it was decided to speed up work on Gwadar Port along the Mekran Coast off Balochistan with the assistance of China in 2002, it worried Washington, Delhi and Baloch Sardars. Commissioning of Gwadar with the help of China and allowing China to gain entry in Indian Ocean as a competitor to challenge the commercial and military monopoly of India and USA was unacceptable to both. Gwadar serving as the energy corridor to Central Asia, Gulf States and China has the potential to upturn the economic fortunes of Pakistan. Economically and militarily strong Pakistan with nuclear teeth is undesirable to both USA and India since it does not fit into the overall scheme of things. Award of minerals and diamond rich Saindak project to China became another eyesore for USA. Proposed Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline became yet another irritant. Exploitative Baloch Sardars saw development works as a threat to their Sardari system.



Propelled by lurking apprehensions, the CIA and FBI in connivance with dissident Sardars girded up their loins and commenced their work in real earnest to fail the projects. They began to cultivate quislings in interior Balochistan from January 2002 onwards. US think tanks were activated to keep pace with clandestine operations. Stories of balkanization of Pakistan and maps of truncated Pakistan in which Balochistan is shown as a separate entity were circulated.


Nawab Akbar Bugti was picked up to lead the planned separatist movement. He was in bad books of other Baloch Sardars because he was seen as an establishment man. Nawab Akbar Bugti was induced to work towards making Balochistan independent through armed insurgency. He was promised huge funds, arms, ammunition, explosives and wherewithal for training of terrorists to conduct insurgency initially in rural Balochistan and later extended towards urban areas. An advanced insurgency infrastructure complete with printed material in Urdu and English, audio and video tapes and propaganda in local dialects was prepared inside Afghanistan and smuggled to Balochistan. People were instigated on the themes of extreme economic deprivation, political victimization and thievery of their natural resources. After raising hue and cry over development of Gwadar Port and other mega projects in 2004, Nawab Bugti picked up arms in January 2005. By that time he had received huge stocks of weapons of all hues and cash from his mentors and was in good position to inflame Dera Bugti. according to the Human Development Index, is the worst in Pakistan, even though the late Akbar Bugti served at various times as the interior minister of Pakistan and chief minister and governor of Balochistan. While BRA fights for the liberation of Balochistan, presumably on the basis of Baloch rights, Dera Bugti lives in the 12th century. The Bugti patriarch was not prepared to grant equal rights even to other Bugtis.


Since Mir Aali Bugti has been made the head of Bugti tribe and Talal Bugti is supportive of him and Shahzan Bugti son of Talal is planning to return from abroad to Dera Bugti, Brahamdagh’s men are targeting followers of Aali and Talal and other pro-government officials to regain control of Dera Bugti. Baloch nationalist parties are helping in spreading sense of deprivation and alienation among Baloch but BNP and NP have paid no heed to advice of Brahamdagh of giving up parliamentary politics.

Apart from his feud with Marris, he had eliminated his cousins and relatives and forcibly occupied their lands. CIA played a key role in bringing a thaw in their strained relations and bringing them on a single platform. Baloch nationalist parties too were gradually won over to tie the knot with rebellious elements. Nawab Bugti developed contacts with Afghanistan’s RAM, RAW, CIA, FBI and MI-6 to ensure continued supply of arms, ammunition, communication system, funds, and establishment of training camps. Recruits mostly from Bugti, Marri and Mengal tribes were paid $220 monthly salary and imparted training by Indian trainers in 58 training camps located within the triangle of Barkhan-Sibi-Kashmore in interior Balochistan.


Each camp housed 300-500 terrorists. Massive stocks of sophisticated arms, ammunition and explosives were built up via routes from Helmand-Muslim Bagh, Shahgarh-Kishingarh-Kashmore, and Zahidan. Once his force got fully armed and trained, Nawab Bugti stiffened his attitude and started demanding greater share of gas royalty. He then locked horns with the government on Dr. Shazia’s rape case in January 2005 and tried to politicise it on grounds of Baloch honour. He made this into an excuse to trigger insurgency in Dera Bugti. He shunned conciliatory efforts and pursued path of militancy. Dissident Sardars guided by their new mentors started to portray development works negatively asserting that people from other provinces were reaping benefits at their cost. They propagated that Balochis were denied the fruits of mega projects while non-Balochis were getting jobs and contracts. In concert with Khair Bux Marri, Sardar Attaullah Mengal and Akhtar Mengal and four nationalist parties, Bugti used blackmailing tactics to force the government to abandon mega projects. He had been drawing huge benefits from the PPL in Sui but had kept his area and the people uneducated and impoverished.As long as he pocketed gas royalty and retained control over jobs of Balochis in Sui gas plant, no voice was raised for the suffering of poor. He drew Rs 20000 monthly salary for each worker but gave the worker only Rs 3000. No sooner he was deprived of privileges he raised his voice for the rights of Baloch. Like Marri and Mengal Sardars, he had maintained a powerful private militia and built dungeons to keep his people terrorised.Kalpar and Mastouri sub-tribes of Bugti were forcibly evicted in 1997 since they dared to challenge his despotism. They were brought back once Nawab Bugti and his militia fled from Dera Bugti in 2006.


Effects of insurgency spread to Sui and Kahan and also contaminated other parts of Balochistan. Trains, gas pipelines, grid stations, telephone exchanges and Frontier Constabulary posts became major targets of bomb blasts and rocket fire. Some Chinese were also kidnapped. Akbar Bugti continued to defy writ of the government and wanted peace on his terms. Two defunct organisations, Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) and Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) that had gone into oblivion after the fall of its mentor USSR was revived with the help of Kremlin and RAW and placed under the influence of dissident Baloch Sardars. Human Rights Organisation, NGOs, western world including USA and India lent support to Bugti led terrorists and described counter actions by law enforcers as violation of human rights. They took no notice of BLA taking credit for all acts of terror.


"This policy was in total contrast to the one adopted in FATA where the Army was constantly prodded to do more."


Death of Nawab Bugti in August 2006 and destruction of most Farari camps caused a huge setback to the insurgents and their patrons but the void was soon filled by Balach Marri and later by 28 year old Brahamdagh Bugti grandson of Nawab Bugti. Although intensity of insurgency scaled down to an extent that entire responsibility of security was taken over by Frontier Corps, police and levies, however insurrection continued to fester because of extensive foreign meddling. Nawab Bugti was turned into a hero and his death anniversary celebrated each year to whip up Baloch nationalism. Brahamdagh stationed in Kandahar is being provided all sorts of assistance by foreign agencies to keep Balochistan messy. Random acts of sabotage against gas pipelines, power transmissions, military convoys and target killings of Hazaras and Punjabis are continuing. Settlers, particularly teachers and professors are easy and soft targets since they are unarmed and offer no resistance.Government of Balochistan in exile was established by militants in April 2005 with its HQ in Jerusalem. A short military operation had to be launched in troubled areas of interior Balochistan in 2006 which destroyed more than fifty terrorist camps and forced Bugti to flee to a hideout in inaccessible mountains. He died in the cave in which he was hiding due to artillery shelling. He was eulogized as a leader of Baloch who had died fighting for their cause and was turned into a hero. Insurgency which was confined to Dera Bugti-Sui-Kahan spread far and wide and enveloped settled areas of Mekran, Sarawan and Jhalawan Divisions. Apart from frequent attacks on gas pipelines, grid stations, power transmissions, security check posts and military convoys, kidnapping and target killings of settlers and Hazaras are on the increase.


Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), initially created by KGB in 1980s was resurrected and the mantle given to Balach Marri. After his death in Afghanistan in 2007, Brahamdagh Bugti took over. BLA was headquartered at Kandahar with the active assistance of RAW and CIA. Brahamdagh has been spitting poison against Pakistan and is actively pursuing path of independence of Balochistan. He is involved in a series of kidnappings, targeted killings, sabotage and attacks on forces and installations in different parts of the province. He has threatened to kill all non-Baloch in Balochistan. Some other terrorist outfits like Baloch Republican Army (BRA), Baloch Republican Party (BRP) and Baloch Liberation United Front (BLUF) have also cropped up. In reality, only BLA is operating while others are phony. All four names have been coined by RAW and fed to Brahamdagh for propagation to give an impression to the world that the separatist movement in Balochistan is wide based. BLA doesn't represent aggrieved Baloch people and has a very narrow support base amongst disgruntled elements. These shadowy outfits proudly accept responsibility of criminal acts. Since none of the Baloch nationalist parties took part in February 2008 elections, they have veered towards the separatists. Provincial government comprising mostly of Sardars from PPP and PML-Q, is out of sync with people of the province. Misled Baloch youth belonging to various tribes has become assertive and violent. If you look at the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), led by Hyrbiar Marri, son of Khair Bakhsh Marri. Educated, like most scions of the sardars (while the common Baloch remains pathetically uneducated), he is based in London. It was his group that took responsibility, among other terrorist acts, for killing the innocent Punjabi labourers.


Baloch Legal Fund (BLF) has address originating from Washington DC. It is ironic that champions of global anti-terrorism who promptly ban any religious outfit on slightest suspicion and freeze its funds have closed their eyes to BLF. Likewise, Brahamdagh and his team based in Kandahar indulging in covert operations in Balochistan are being patronized by RAW, Mossad, MI-6 and CIA. Indian Consulates in Zahidan, Mazar-e-Sharif, Jalalabad and Kandahar bordering Balochistan are providing all forms of support to the insurgents with full connivance of USA. Arrest of Gazin Marri in Dubai in March 2006 for channeling funds to BLA from Dubai proved Indian connection. Anti-state activities of London based Mir Suleiman Dawood; Khan of Kalat is an open secret. He has been holding international rallies and carrying out propaganda that Balochistan had been forcibly annexed by Pakistan. In an interview with Indian Daily he said the Gilani-Manmohan declaration in Sharm-el Sheikh helped in highlighting Baloch issue internationally and would pave way for international intervention in Balochistan. British government has neither taken any action against him nor extradited him to Pakistan. Likewise, Harbayar Marri based in UK was caught indulging in covert operations against Pakistan. He was arrested but later on released.


Brahamdagh doesn’t hold Governor Nawab Zulfiqar Magsi and chief minister Raisani in high esteem. He objects to their receiving salary from Islamabad but has no compunction in getting paid by foreign agencies and dancing to their tunes. While BLA represent Marri tribe, Baloch Republican Army (BRA) represents Bugtis. Lashkar-e-Balochistan is an armed group of Mengal tribe while Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) represents many Baloch tribes. The year 2009 has seen talk of separation gaining currency. Schools in Baloch inhabited regions have been asked not to sing national anthem or to hoist Pakistan flag. The Baloch youth and women in particular are being brainwashed and hatred against Punjab and the Army inculcated in their minds. Dissident Baloch leaders are projecting their separatist movement as liberation movement and are seeking UN intervention to help them gain independence. They have appealed to international community to help the Baloch in getting rid of Pakistan.BLA kidnapped over 20 policemen from Naseerabad District in August and later killed them. It justifies target killings of non-locals as a reaction of Baloch against excesses of Punjabi Army. One of the Baloch writers cribbed in his write up that Baloch were not carrying out enough target killings and provoked them to intensify the killing spree and expand it to Punjab. Attacks on security forces are also continuing. Counter actions by law enforcers are dubbed as military operation and massacre of Baloch by Punjab Army.

"Their propaganda is picked up by the western media for further propagation despite the fact that the Army has not fired a single bullet since August 2006."

Harbayar Marri and Gazan Marri, two sons of Nawab Khair Bakhsh Marri are in exile in London. One of them has married Brahamdagh’s sister in an effort to forge Marri-Bugti confederacy. Khan of Kalat Mir Sulaiman Daud too is in London. All three are indulging in anti-state activities and claim that Balochistan movement has gained international popularity. They are patronized by MI-6 and British government. Daud formed Independent Balochistan Council on 11 August. None of mutinous Baloch leaders have any objection to the presence of US military in Balochistan and heavy involvement of RAW in acts of subversion. Harbayar and his likes say that they do not mind Americans stealing natural resources of Balochistan or enslaving them. Deployment of large number of UK-US troops in Helmand Province also doesn’t bother them but they do mind the presence of Punjabi Army on their soil which according to them has enslaved them and is obliterating Baloch identity.

"They have succeeded in putting a hold on construction of military cantonments in interior Balochistan not realizing that these are an excellent means for development and prosperity of backward areas."

As a policy, all mysterious killings are promptly pasted on the agencies. There are credible reports that target killings and killing of Baloch leaders are being done by RAW agents and Blackwater members to provoke both sides and create anarchic conditions in the province. Peaceful Mekran coastal belt has also been made turbulent. Till recent, Al-Qaeda’s entire leadership was placed in FATA by USA. All of a sudden, Taliban Shura including Mullah Omar has been located in Quetta and marked as high priority target for drone attacks.

“Currently when the cleanup of target killers is under process due to corrupt government and judiciary in Balochistan, These Black Souls are propagating that innocents are being killed by Pakistan but they were proudly announcing their own target killings in Past. Is it not a hypocrite attitude of them? or we should understand that it is the duty of paid agents”

Several RAW agents have been caught red handed indulging in sabotage and subversion in Balochistan. Export of terrorism from Afghan soil into Balochistan and FATA and Swat was brought to the notice of USA, Afghanistan and India several times but none has ever heeded to our complaints. Balochistan cauldron will continue to fester as long as we tolerate intrusion of foreign agencies and treat our enemies as friends. Anti-social and anti-state elements must be punished and efforts made for repatriation of Brahamdagh. This development when seen in context with launching of military operation in Helmand province in July aimed at pushing out Afghan Taliban across the border are part of the design to ignite Pashtun belt which is presently peaceful. It appears that after the fall of Swat front and containment of Waziristan, focus of the schemers in Kabul is shifting towards Balochistan. India is keen to play Balochistan card to force Pakistan to forget about Kashmir. The messy situation in Balochistan requires emergent actions and deft handling to clear the mess. In addition to early announcement of socio-politico-economic package backed by media campaign to help remove grievances and misgivings of people of Balochistan and to win their support, use of air bases by US military in Balochistan must be discontinued and supply routes blocked. These measures would render anti-state elements and foreign agents like fish out of water.


In order to exert pressure on USA and India, both trying to jeopardize the very existence of Pakistan, we instead of remaining in the hunt for foreign aid and docilely accepting their immoral conditions should forthrightly seek early withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan, extradition of Brahamdagh, Harbayar, Gazin and Daud, closure of Indian consulates in Afghanistan, stoppage of Indo-Afghan cross border terrorism into Pakistan as well as drone attacks, termination of Pakistan army and ISI bashing and putting an end to US meddlesome role in our internal affairs. Our participation in war on terror and logistic supply to US-Nato troops should be made conditional to these genuine demands. Now that the ground has begun to slip from under the feet of US troops in Afghanistan, it would be relatively easier to have these demands fulfilled.

Balochistan in general and the Baloch in particular need to get their rights. But negotiations must be within the federal framework. Equally, the Baloch must realise the irony of fighting for their rights while living in a stultifying tribal system. Many want their children to be educated. There are cases of fighters secretly sending their boys to enroll in the army-funded education programme. They must not be disappointed.
