National Party’s Malik Baloch nominated as Balochistan CM

[Devil Soul]

National Party (NP) president Dr Abdul Malik Baloch was nominated as the chief minister of Balochistan on Saturday, reported Express News.

Earlier, the Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party, Awami National Party and NP had thrown their weight behind Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) for the formation of the new provincial government.
Dr Baloch had also said that the new chief minister should be from the PML-N.

Baloch had further revealed that his party had tried to form an electoral alliance with Sardar Akhtar Mengal’s Balochistan National Party-Mengal but it couldn’t materialise. Mengal has rejected the election results while doubting the whole electoral process which, he alleges, was fixed by the ‘establishment’.

Analysis

The decision is being considered a positive step towards normalising the situation in Balochistan, a province plagued by sectarianism, terrorism and an insurgency that’s been continuing for more than 12 years now.

The need of the hour for Balochistan is a non-controversial, unarmed and middle class Baloch leader to win the ‘hearts and minds’ of the people – and Dr. Baloch is considered to enjoy all these qualities.

The move to nominate Dr. Baloch as CM is also considered positive because hypothetically, the PML-N could even form the provincial government in Balochistan without the support of NP and PkMAP – since other evergreen politicians were ready to extend their support to the party.

Dr. Baloch will not be able to abridge the existing gulf between the Baloch people and Islamabad overnight. However, being a political worker, he understands the complexities and sensitivities of politics and insurgency in Balochistan. The NP chief can play the role of a firefighter to bring an end to unrest in the volatile province.

Dr.Baloch can also convince the ruling PML-N to take confidence-building measures to restore the lost confidence of the people of Balochistan. As promised by his party, the recovery of missing persons and ‘kill and dump’ operations must be stopped. Internally displaced Marri and Bugti tribesmen must be rehabilitated without wasting any time.

What is hoped of Dr. Baloch is that he is able to strengthen the middle class Baloch community and perhaps weaken the grip of strong tribal chieftains.
