Baluchi wrath on Modi seems a contrived act

It is the president’s turn to speak on the occasion of the Republic Day, and as India’s best-known finance minister, Pranab Mukherjee would probably hold a torch light on the dark tunnel of ‘demonetisation’. From foreign-policy perspective, though, it should have been Prime Minister Narendra Modi to deliver the Republic Day address.
Would Modi have repeated the stirring speech on August 15 he made from the ramparts of the Red Fort last Independence Day when he had voiced empathy with the aspirations of the separatist groups of the Baluchistan province of Pakistan?
The Baluchi separatists are reportedly restive. The Hindu newspaper reported with Delhi dateline that an activist of Baloch Republican Party (BRP), residual group that champions independent Baluchistan, Azizullah Bugti has hit out that Modi is not following up on his words. AB alleged:

• We were expecting diplomatic support at the international level. But unfortunately there had been no further development from the Indian side. We are facing difficulties like military operations, abductions and killings of Baloch civilians, but the movement is continuing. It’s for India to decide whether to raise our issue or not. But we can’t remain silent.

What explains AB’s wrath? Apparently, GOI is parrying his boss, BRP supremo Branhumdagh Bugti’s plea to seek political asylum in India. Why is GOI keeping BB cool his heels? One possible explanation could be that there is no one in South Block to take a decision. Or, PMO, which is wont to making surgical strikes, is waiting for an auspicious moment to render a blow at Pakistan. At any rate, the buck stops at Modi’s desk.
Of course, it is a momentous decision even for Modi, considering India’s historic role in vivisecting Pakistan 45 years ago. The repercussions will be grave for India-Pakistan relations. To be sure, the international community will also sit up and take note. Thus, it seems a classic case of ‘Modimania’ in our foreign policies – saying and acting provocatively for optical effect but lacking kinetic.
The BRP is a spent force and the insurgency in Baluchistan is on the wane. Ask K.P.S. Gill what happens when an insurgency shows attrition. The State takes out the meat grinder. It’s awful to watch, but that’s how most failed insurgencies end. To be sure, Pakistan’s comfort level is rising palpably, as is evident from the open taunt by the army’s Southern Command chief Gen. Amir Riaz on Wednesday inviting India to join the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and “share the fruits of future development by shelving anti-Pakistan activities and subversion.”
Commenting on Lt. Gen. Riaz’s taunting remark, a leading Chinese pundit noted Wednesday in Global Times,

• Pakistanis by and large don’t want India to be part of the CPEC, or they believe, if India hopes to join, it must try to improve bilateral ties first. China believes that India should be part of the project and actively persuade Pakistan to accept it… The CPEC is not only a bilateral cooperation, but also a multilateral project in the long-run… So it’s open and inclusive… But if any country wants to label Pakistan as “supporting terrorism” and discredit the country, then China and other countries who uphold justice will oppose such behaviour strongly.

The pundit then gave the following assessment:

• Pakistani government and military have same goal. Both want to build up the CPEC and promote Pakistan’s national power. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is especially eager to make some concrete achievements during his term. Thus, the period before 2018 is a strategic opportunity for CPEC construction. The Pakistani military has put a lot of effort into the CPEC, and its efforts are crucial to opening it to traffic. Now, Sharif’s new appointment as army chief, General Qamar Javed Bajwa, has succeeded General Raheel Sharif smoothly. We hope this smooth transition in military leaders will promote further unity between the government and military, enhance the efficiency of CPEC construction, and speed up (CPEC) construction.

Clearly, PMO did not anticipate such a denouement to the great game on India’s north-western borders. Modi is understandably taking time to decide. What does India stand to gain out of hosting BB? After all, India will be entering into a Faustian deal with a ‘burnt out case’.
But then, how come AB spoke? How come he dared to criticise Modi, while also, conceivably, enjoying Indian hospitality. To my mind, we’re witnessing a pantomime. Gen. Riaz probably touched a raw nerve of some top security czar in Delhi by boasting that Pakistan’s won the great game. Now, will AB’s hot words frighten the GHQ in Rawalpindi that India still retains a ‘Baluch card’?
Oh, there’s no end to these shenanigans that spy agencies keep playing to entertain themselves at the tax payers’ expense. The rational thing to do is to ‘blacklist’ AB (and his boss BB as well) for badmouthing our PM. The Sri Lanka experience should have taught us that such unwanted pests could harbor predatorial instincts.

well, one has to let the world know about the poor people of Balochistan who have been deprived of their rights. I hope sensible Pakistanis respect their love for independence.

The so called card was played when the insurgency was breathing it's last and the exiled so called leaders ( read prostitutes and slaves) were simply looking for somebody to pay the bills for their luxury. On the ground its barely breathing as since 2007 over 40000 baluchis have been inducted into the armed forces and the FC and with thousands in cadet schools just waiting to be graduated. The people hate these BLA or BRA or rubbish terrorists as they have suffered greatly from their hands and see then truly as to what they are which is terrorists fighting for their sardars. This is why they also have inter rivalries with each other. The cause they fight for is not freedom but control for their sardar sitting in Germany doing his ten man max campaign.

With development slowly happening and the wheels of a Democratic process in place, Baluchistan is finally seeing some level of prosperity ( although a lot more is required). Infact the greatest threat to Baluchistan is not these exiled sardars looking for a pay master or the terrorists on ground but the greatest threat are the ISIS aka TTP jamat ul ahrar which use the 1100 km afpak border.


The idea of a separated Baluchistan is a dead one.

you know the core of the argument? While, like all citizens of a country you assert your right to balochistan, you completely ignore the fact that there has been zero benefits that balochistan had had. Does India have an insurgency in Kashmir- yes. But India has taken a lot of care to pour in billions in development and railways, airports and universities to demonstrate proof of advantage. I'm guessing that argument is not going to last whether India intervenes in the baloch issue or not.

 

[Hassan Guy]

Pakistan vs Balochistan? This sounds oddly familiar..........

 

[Kompromat]

BB, once in India will join the long list of fools who became our enemies and ended up choaking on their own blood.

I beleive that India did not really want to break Baluchistan from Pakistan. Because, what is the grantee that Baluchistan will turn into another Syria, Afghanistan or anything. Rather a stable Pakistan is good for us. Rather i believe, it is easy to deal with educated/developed part of Pakistan like Eastern province than the Western part.BD was a different story. It was physically thousands mile away from Pakistan. Irrespective of India gets involved or not, BD was waiting to be sepated one day or the other. India is just trying to irritate Pakistan by having Baluch issue to counter Kashmir.

Rather than spending money on Kashmir recklessly on the mainstream politician on Kashmir, who has zero credibility on ground, India should talk to the students, lawers, different institution of Kashmir. There is absolutely no value in pandering the PDP and NC who are just middle man with having no value on ground. We have to create a disruption in the way Kashmir issue is just dealth with. It is a good thing Modi has done, that he stick to the stand that he will not entertain in talking with Hurriyat or people who are agitating on the road this year. Kashmir people should bring something constructive on the table if they really want a solution to be accepted by GoI. Violence is not the answer to the issue for last 70 years.

Try again next time. You failed miserably this time.

Mate, for moment trust me that i am not to troll here for Baluch issue. Baluch is an problem for Pakistan for sure. It is a different question of how much India is really capable of or is interested to exploit the situation to trouble Pakistan.
If i understand correctly, India is simply using Baluch issue as a diplomatic tool to check mate Pakistan. But staergically, Baluchistan as an independent nation can be more disastrous that the current United Pakistan. So i really do not see, India is either interested or capable of making Baluchistan as independent nation.

Ahaan then how about assam .

One thing you can do is beg from India as you have already done some desperate attempts since last 70 years...
Khalistan to dur hi rakho..

Yawns .. Sun bhai Kashmir say CPEC ka route bana rey hain aja bomb kar day ..

Finally a sane Indian. lol
