Pakistan condemns U.S. over meddling in Balochistan - Tehran Times

Pakistan has condemned the United States over its interference in the country’s southwestern Balochistan province, and summoned Washington’s envoy in Islamabad over a recent U.S. Congress hearing.

Pakistan’s foreign ministry on Monday summoned U.S. Chargé d'Affaires Richard Hoagland and expressed its extreme displeasure over a U.S. Congressional hearing last week that reportedly discussed alleged human rights abuses in Balochistan, Dawn reported.

"The charge d'affairs was informed that this was unacceptable as it amounted to interference in the internal affairs of the country," a foreign ministry statement said.

Since 2004 Western-backed separatist militants affiliated with ultra-nationalist Balochi parties have been waging a low-intensity insurgency against Islamabad. Some Western countries have accused Pakistan of committing human rights violations in the province.

Meanwhile, the Pakistani parliament adopted a resolution, which condemned a sub-committee hearing in the U.S. Congress, saying the U.S. has absolutely no jurisdiction to discuss the country’s internal affairs.

The resolution, tabled by Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan from the main opposition Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz party in the National Assembly, was unanimously passed.

The resolution stated that “the house rigorously condemns and does not accept the hearing by the U.S. Congress and considers any such attempt an open intervention in state’s sovereignty and its internal affairs.”

"American interference in Pakistan's internal affairs is unacceptable," the resolution said.

Give the Balochs a fair share of the wealth Pujabistan.

The point being; it's an internal affair, America should stick out of it, they have their own problems that they should focus on.

HINT: OWS :HINT.

I found these in the comments of Michael Hughes article:

Baloch problem has been made by Baloch themselves. They are a primitive tribal society where a commoner and especially women have no rights. Therefore, when 3 or 4 Baloch women were buried alive, whole of Pakistan was up in protest. However, a Baloch tribal leader had the audacity to tell us that it is a Baloch tradition and no one has any right to criticize them.

PAKISTAN: Five women buried alive, allegedly by the brother of a minister

It is normal for Baloch tribal leaders not to let Government build schools in their areas for they don't want their 'slaves' to get education.

The murdered Baloch leader Akbar Bugti killed his first human at the age of 12 and boasted about it in his memoirs.

Baloch are a minority in Balochistan province. The Pushtoons in the western-most belt and the nomadic Brahvis form a majority.

Three bigger tribes of Baloch have been historical rivals, none accepting each others' domination.

If Balochistan earns its freedom today, Pushtoons will break off from it tomorrow, Brahvis day after tomorrow, coastal region of Mekran (with ties to Oman) the day after that, leaving the 3 bigger Baloch tribes into war with each other.

Balochistan has been ruled by Balochs since the creation of Pakistan. Two Commanders in Chief of the Pakistan Army and two Prime Ministers of Pakistan were from Balochistan.

The only solution to this problem is to abolish slavery, i.e. the Sardari System in Balochistan which is keeping the Baloch citizens oppressed and spread education among the population among the people of Balochistan to give them awareness. Pak Army is already establishing educational premises under it's guard to provide education to the youngsters from the oppressed communities and the Sardars can not accept the power grabbed from their hands, so, they are trying to stop that in any way possible (even using the violence and performing false flag operations).

Wrong. It's the Baloch and the Army who put themselves in to this situation.
