Bitter words: Mengal says Balochistan ‘turned into graveyard’ – The Express Tribune

Balochistan National Party-Mengal President Sardar Akhtar Mengal on Tuesday expressed grave concerns over the security situation in Balochistan as he called the province a ‘graveyard’.

“Balochistan has become a graveyard as the situation has gone from bad to worst over the past few years. There are grave diggers and mourners as far as I can see. I do not see a single happy person in my province,” Mengal said in a statement.

“I view the rulers in the province as grave diggers…they are not interested in political issues of the province. They are busy in digging more graves,” the former chief minister added.

He said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had also forgotten the promises he made when he was sitting in opposition benches.

“The rulers have always suppressed the peaceful struggle of the Baloch people and never gave peace a chance. On the other hand, the government is deeply interested in negotiations with the Taliban.”

Mengal said Balochistan had always been treated as an occupied territory and Baloch people were treated as traitors, adding that the Balochistan government was only trying to control the natural resources of the province.

Mengal, who remained in self-exile for four years, said that the Balochistan chief minister has himself admitted that there are a number of places in the province where there is no writ of the government.

“What could be worse than the kidnapping of the deputy commissioner and assistant commissioner? I do not see any improvement in Balochistan,” he added.

He might look a bit harmless now, but as time goes by, people like him will gain popularity.

The Sneaky enemy is hiding behind this crime, because directly the enemy is not able to face the real men Army.

It's a well-known fact that when the people become more and more alienated from the government, they'll turn to radicalized beliefs in hope that they'll solve their problems.
Knowing the names of all the tribes won't help you decide how to handle Balochistan, my friend.

 

[Hiptullha]

So what took your real men army so long to pound terrorists??

Combating an insurgency is SO easy, isn't it? Especially when the terrorists are being assisted by the people.

Accession to Pakistan 1948
Balochi nationalists support the claim that the ruler of the Khan of Kalat, Mir Ahmad Yar Khan, was coerced by Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the first governor-general of Pakistan, to sign the document of accession. Critics dispute such claims as unrealistic and contrary to popular support for Jinnah, as the Khan of Kalat ruled even after Jinnah's death with the support of the government. However, the Khan was not an absolute monarch; he was required to act under the provisions of the Rawaj (Kalat's constitution).

The incorporation of the Khanate resulted in a few anti-Pakistani rallies and meetings in certain areas of the Khanate. To subdue anti-Pakistani sentiment, the Army of Pakistan was placed on alert. The Government of Pakistan decided to take complete control of the administration of the Khanate of Kalat on April 15, [1948. The Agent to the Governor General (A.G.G.) in Kalat conveyed Jinnah's orders that the Khanate would revert to its previous status as it had existed under British rule. In April 1948, several political leaders from Kalat, including Mohammad Amin Khosa and Abdul Samad Achakzai, were arrested. The pro-Congress Anjuman-i-Watan Party, headed by Samad Achakzai, was declared unlawful.

Balochistan is the largest province and one of the four provinces of Pakistan.The British Empire on October 1, as paramount power in the region reached a security agreement with the princely state of Kalat which was ruled by the Khan of Kalat 1887 but the kingdom retained its sovereignty in all other respects.In 1947, when Pakistan became independent, Pakistan signed a standstill agreement with the state of Kalat (a land-locked state surrounded by Pakistani territory and covering 23% of the territory of the current province of Balochistan) which recognized its autonomy and sovereignty, subject to future negotiation of the relationship. However, both houses of the Kalat parliament had asserted independence in 1947 and the Khan subsequently acknowledged that he had no right to accede to Pakistan's demand for annexation which he said he had only done under the threat of military force. Since then, a number of separatist groups in the province have engaged in an armed struggle against the Pakistani government; the first was led by Prince Karim Khan in 1948, and later by Nawab Nowroz Khan in 1968. These tribal uprisings were limited in scope, a more serious insurgency was led by the Marri and Mengal tribes between 1973 and 1977. All these groups fought for the existence of a "Greater Balochistan" — a single independent state ruled under tribal jirgas (a tribal system of government) and comprising the historical Balochistan region,found within Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan. In 2005 there was another struggle to achieve these aims, in 2006, Nawab Akbar Bugti was killed during a military operation, the man they blamed for the violence. Although Bugti had been proclaimed an offender by former president Pervez Musharraf he has become a hero for separatists.However,he is accused of devouring federal funds for the development of the province,as well as gas royalties,and was also accused of operating unauthorized jails and dungeons in his territory.

Dear friend u need to understand why only Mangals and Bugties (only a part of that tribes) complain, secondly Baloch tribes are living in southern Punjab and in Sindh in a sizeable population they do not have any complain being marginalized by GOP.

If there are some elements who feels that they are being alienated its because they refused to be the part of the system. They were provided their chances repeatedly in the past, and I can bet they will have there chances again in the future as well.

I agree that the Balochis partly share the blame in what's happening to their region. Their mistrust of the state has become a serious hurdle in development but it's the responsibility of the government to make sure that steps are taken to regain the trust of the Balochis.

Yeah its not so easy,ny comment was for him and not you.

Doesn't matter who it's directed towards. Combating an insurgency isn't a walk in a park. The army isn't simply fighting terrorists, they're fighting an ideology.
