First of all IOK is a globally recognized disputed territory not it's internal matter. Having control doesn't mean that it is their territory. Even Omar Abdullah also says Paksitan is a party in Kashmir issue.
On the other hand let's talk about these killings. Who is going to prove that these guys were killed by Pakistani forces and not by BLA terrorists themselves. Weren't several Baloch activists were killed by BLA in the past. Isn't it true that several Baloch are afraid to go in Balochistan because of the fear that they might get killed by BLA.
And talking about human rights what about the rights of those poor non balochis by these terrorists. When Amenesty International is going to issue a report about them. Or just because they were killed by non religious "secular" BLA they don't have any human rights.
Got to agree with Patriot being leftist doesn't mean you always behave like Najam Sethi all the time.
And Balochistan is not BD and this is not 1971. Get out of nostalgia. I always wonder why this so called liberation movement dies in the areas like Chamalang, rekodiq, Sandek etc etc. Why govt installations aren't bombed in those areas. If you know about Balochistan, I also know about Balochistan. And deep down their heart BLA activists also know the time has changed. This is not 1971.
Nostalgia about 71..
It was opinions similar to yours that gave the nation its greatest shock.
Back then too, it seemed all ok to people and the problem was isolated to the Professors of Dhaka and a few border areas.
The difference is that the Baloch have no assistance from any neighbor.
The problem does stop in those areas since Tribal rivalries come into play.
There is no condition similar to BD yet.. and cant be either.. since Balochistan is surrounded on all sides with countries as such uninterested in supporting the cause(limited as it may be in your view). So even a widespread insurgency wont achieve much.. except hostile lands for the rest of Pakistan. And the natural resources in that province will have to be constantly guarded from attacks.. (as they are now). What is better.. a friendly people where you can move and live amongst amicably.. or a place where like today you move in constant fear of kidnapping.
But the idea of sitting around and depending on policing actions for such elements is idiotic.. pardon my french.
If the swat debacle has given any lesson is that when injustice exists people will look to any deluded fool for help.. and crown him a hero.
A Slam bam thank you maam approach needs to be coupled with a development drive.. so that even those elements aligned with the BLA and its cohorts feel its better being a Pakistani first than a Baloch.
The ranks and file of all these organization will crumple if the men that they are composed of are offered better alternatives.. something the PA should be lauded for trying..
the hardcore elements will keep trying... but when they cant offer anything better than the government.. they will die out.
Had the Bangladeshi separatist elements been without popular support ..in the
ancient times of 71 would have gone differently. And btw, the whole prehistoric event of 71 started after the Bengali intellectuals started publicly asking for a way out.
Its started in Balochistan now...take a drive down the coastal highway.. then make a trip to quetta.. and talk to the people.
and does anyone remember from historical records that have gathered dust the killings of non-Bengali elements in Bangladesh..?
deja vu?.. albeit without the catalyst that was India..
I better start reading Mr Najam Sethi if he and I think so alike.
