ââ¬ËBugti did nothing for Balochistan upliftââ¬â¢
ISLAMABAD:
Senator Muhabat Khan Marri on Sunday said Nawab Akbar Bugti did nothing for the development of Balochistan and the people of his tribe.
Talking to a TV channel, he said Akbar Bugti served on high government positions such as governor in the past, but he did nothing for the betterment of the Baloch people.
He kept promoting his own interests while in power, he said, adding Akbar Bugti was against the development of the area and also opposed setting up of educational institutions.
He said Akbar Bugti was well aware of the fact that people after getting education would raise voice against his brutal activities. Muhabat Khan recalled that Akbar Bugti kidnapped people who wanted to contest elections against him.
Responding to a question, he said common Balochis are against the Sardari system in the area, adding people of Balochistan want peace, progress, development, employment and education in their province.
Also, prominent tribal leader Tariq Massori Bugti on Sunday said people of Dera Bugti have announced to observe salvation ceremonies for three days on getting rid of a ââ¬Ëcruel personalityââ¬â¢ like Akbar Bugti.
People of Dera Bugti came out of their houses after receiving news of Akbar Bugtiââ¬â¢s death and expressed their feelings at the end of a man involved in crimes against humanity, he said while talking to a TV channel.
On Sunday morning, people in Dera Bugti distributed sweets and exchanged greetings as they got rid of a person who had made their lives miserable for a long time.
Setting aside his noble position, Akbar Bugti left his native area and resorted to violence and reportedly killed innocent people and personnel of security forces, Massori said.
And, Bugti tribe leader Humadan Bugti on Sunday said death of Akbar Bugti has brought a sigh of relief for the people of Dera Bugti as the chapter of inhuman activities has ended.
Talking to a TV channel, he said some leaders are condemning this incident just to gain political benefits, adding all political leaders are well aware of anti-government and anti-people activities of Akbar Bugti.
Separately, chief of Kalpar Bugti tribe Jalal Kalpar Bugti on Sunday said the people of Balochistan are relieved with the death of Akbar Bugti.
Talking to a private TV channel, he said Akbar Bugti committed atrocities even on his own people during the last eight years. He was against acquiring of education by the local people. Even the people could not live with their own choice owing to the fear of Akbar Bugti.
Jalal Kalpar said Akbar Bugti had made thousands of people homeless and put many others in his private jails.
He said Akbar Bugti was a terrorist. He was not loyal to his own tribe and the people were now happy of getting liberation from his cruelty.
Meanwhile, Jamiat Ahle Hadith Pakistan through various resolutions vehemently condemned the killing of Nawab Akbar Bugti besides asking the regime to stop maltreating of Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan and witch-hunt of Hafiz Muhammad Saeed.
The religious party at the All Pakistan Ulema convention held here at its Lawrence road Secretariat said that the murder of a political leader (Akbar Bugti) by the state would have serious repercussions on national politics and hatred would prevail among the Balochi people.
The leaders, through a resolution, called upon the government to abandon its policy of victimising opposition leaders and withdraw false cases instituted against them. The convention said adequate measures should be taken to ensure peace in Karachi, arrest killers of religious leaders and award them exemplary punishments.
They demanded interim government for holding next general elections and asked for return of exiled leaders. They were of the opinion that Hudood Ordinance should not be abolished rather amendments be made after seeking opinions from real Ulemas. The convention called for immediate halt to the army operation in Waziristan and Balochistan.
