Anti
Pakistan forces had targeted Baluchistan since long ago. Sabotaging passengers
trains, attacking state especially defense installations, blasting natural gas
transmission lines in order to create trouble for public as well as economy of
the country. Some forces outside Pakistan attempt to prove all these terrorist
activities as activities of separatists fighting for the independence of the
Baluchistan and elements involved in such activities are emotional elements of
Baloch youth who have been forced to take up arms for quickly achieving their
aim (separation).
The
question arises whether Baluchistan is being ignored and denied of its rights
or there are some other elements active behind the scene that are making
propaganda to disguise terrorists as separatists in order to misguide
international community. In order to understand this phenomenon I would like to
quote few lines from the book of Syed Abdul Mali, “The Twin Era of Pakistan:
Democracy and Dictatorship” published in 1992 from New York in which writer has
attempted to draw the canvass of Independent Baluchistan in 2006;
“Who would have
believed that Baluchistan, once the least-populated and poorest province of
unified Pakistan, would become independent and the richest oil-producing country
after Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. From Pasni to Gwadar is a duty free
international port, as Hong Kong in the Far East. It has become the busiest
business and trading centre in the near
Middle East. Everywhere you see tall buildings touching the sky and many more
are being built. It has become a centre of learning as well. Big universities
and colleges are going up. Quetta university is built entirely on the American
standard. The vice-chancellor of the university is an American born Balochi
scholar. The Dean of the faculty of science is a British scientist who is a
noble prize winner”
In this book of more than 400
pages like other books consisting of anti-Pakistan propaganda writer had
attempted to blame Punjab, Punjabi Bureaucracy and Punjabi army and the example of Eastern
Pakistan was quoted as well that Punjab forced Bengalis to get separated from
Pakistan. When the book was written there was no armed militant group in
Baluchistan then why writer did wrote such a book of fiction while he has
expertise in Accounts or Economics. After reading the book one understands that
why writer has concluded after comparing
democracy and dictatorship in Pakistan in the form of separation of
Baluchistan. Is not this a part of the chain of conspiracies to weaken Pakistan
which are being faced not only by people of Baluchistan but by all Pakistanis in
the form of terrorism? The only difference is that in one place Pakistanis are
being killed in the name of imposition of Islam, on the other in the name of
Sectarian disputes in the form of suicide bomb blasts, being targeted after
checking identity documents, being killed by sabotage of trains etc. no matter
what the target are only Pakistanis and the real target of killers is Pakistan.
One may consider the
murder of 20 Laborers in Turbat, all those who were killed by these terrorists
belonged to poor families who were forced to work hard away from their homes in
order to make the both ends meet. In such a situation one feels pity over those
elements who try to hide and support these terrorists by naming them as “Angry
Baloch”; moreover, this also negates the propaganda that only Baluchistan has
been left undeveloped; if this is so then laborers from Sind and Punjab would
not have been working in Turbat, they might have earned enough from their own
districts of Punjab and Sind. This shows that it is not the Federation that is
responsible for the under development but the exploitative system that has
taken whole country into its clutches. Another point of importance is that
those who were murdered by terrorists belonged to Baloch race. As long as these
militants are concerned they are not “Angry Baloch” but terrorists.
The killing of 13
murderers responsible for murder of laborers just in 24 hours, shows that now
terrorists playing with the blood of the innocent Pakistanis will have no
hideout in Pakistan. Terrorists and their foreign perpetrators should learn
from the short time of search and hunt down of terrorists that Pakistan is
neither ready to bear wounds nor external conspiracies will be tolerated anymore.
Although in the past
our rulers have been reluctant to point out the supporters of terrorists; due
to the trade ties or other interests’ international community also did not
raise the voice in the way it was required. On 15th April in the way
General Raheel Sharif visited Quetta, took briefing of search operation against
terrorists and gave warning to anti-Pakistan elements this is the voice of the
nation. This is the first time that Army Chief has directly addressed the
anti-Pakistan elements attacking integrity of Pakistan and warned them to stop
their activities…
