The Final Nail in Balochistan’s Enemies Coffin

By: Aasef Chauhdry

Almost five years back an article under the title ‘A Discreet Conflict’ written by one Matt McCullough was published in an online journal ‘The Majallah’. It would have been comparatively a sensible article, written by any western writer, had few queries been answered logically. For example, without having any love lost for the armed forces and much talked ISI, one is always astonished that why only these two organisations which are supposed to look after the state’s interest are always blamed and targeted and why not the discreet  and fake stakeholders like the Americans, Russians, Indians and some of the European countries aren’t blamed, who have a visible nefarious agenda? The American, Russian and above all the Indians interest and concern in the region are well known especially when the American ambassador visits Quetta unannounced in late 2014. So, why to blame these two forces without any concrete proof and not to doubt even those who are manipulating the game? Strangely, the Independence Day had been celebrated by handful insurgents as Black Day, for a couple of years and so called Baloch rebels happily killed their countrymen Punjabis and trusted friend China’s technical experts, while the Americans and the other western high profile dignitaries were roaming freely in the province and were not touched even?

However the things have changed a lot now, especially after the arrest of Indian serving navy officer and RAW’s active agent commander Kulbhushun, the myth about Balochistan liberation and the BLA is broken. Amazingly the nationalists displayed anger, for the deprivation, against the Punjabis and the armed forces who are the major contributors for the development in the province but those Sardars who sucked the Poor’s blood and kept them uneducated for decades, are still regarded as heroes? Can anyone deny that the Army has constructed the maximum roads, schools and hospitals in the Province? Will any Sardar claim that the light and gas in the province is his achievement? Fully agreed that there is 30 percent unemployment and 75 percent illiteracy but can the so-called Nationalists show some character and courage to admit that this all is certainly not because of their Sardars, like Bugti, Mari and Mengal? Sadly, they will not because these Sardars with the help of their Masters have been pulling the strings of these puppets popularly known as The Nationalists.

As the writer aptly said that, “the Balochistan is important to US interests beyond pumping gas and blocking Iran and China from doing the same”, so very simple and easy to understand that who is calling the shots in Balochistan? This drama of Balochistan liberation is now witnessing almost the drop scene as the cunning stakeholders are gradually surfacing with the real motives. It is now an open secret that all this game was planned against CPEC and depriving Pakistan of economic growth. Although on Iran front apparently the Indians and Americans succeeded in forming a temporary alliance, however, the most significant development is the return of the natives and reverting to the religion of patriotism by those who were totally disoriented.

One such case is of Dr. Wahid Baloch President of Baloch Council of North America (BCNA) who confessed few years back that Balochistan is an integral part of Pakistan and will remain as such and the ordinary Baloch cannot be misguided by the fancy slogans of Azadi, chanted by Nawabs, Sardars and their sons. In a historic statement made by Dr. Wahid, he asked the Baloch youths to shun the so called “war of independence” and focus on their education and not be misguided or brainwashed by these Nawabs and Sardars and their sons who are enjoying luxury life by themselves in Europe and are on payroll of foreign powers.

His appeal did magic and it really worked which was a great setback for the RAW and her handful misguided miscreants who badly lost the standing. They tried to go into hiding but the patriotic Baloch people with the help of the armed forces made their lives miserable and forced them to surrender or meet their fate.  As it was expected from the biased and Indian influenced Western press, the analysts called it an abrupt twist because they were not willing give credit to the conscience awakening of Dr. Wahid Baloch who finally realized his mistake. He ultimately found this disloyalty more like committing a suicide and an effort to bag deliberate insult and humiliation. That’s why he asked the Baloch leaders to shun the militancy and negative politics of hate and bigot and come to the negotiating table for a positive, productive and meaningful dialogue to end this so called “war of independence” and adopt a more realistic approach that can benefit the Baloch people and improve their lives. The sane Baloch majority realized and strongly believed in getting the issues resolved while remaining within the peripheries of the state.

The return of the nationalists to main political and patriotic stream is a cool breeze wave and it’s believed that the more birds of the same flock will soon come out of the hallucination and will join their countrymen as it has happened few weeks back. No doubt it’s a great but healthy change and soon the malicious anti-Pakistan designs of the alien intelligence agencies will die their own disgraceful death.Every patriotic Pakistani firmly believes that the motherland is going through a tough time and it is the responsibility of every Pakistani generally and every Baloch categorically to demonstrate a positive, more responsible and realistic attitude to help solve the Balochistan’s problems. It’s high time that Baloch Diaspora leaders and activists should stop playing in the foreign hands and unconditionally move forward for a positive and constructive dialogue that can help resolve Balochistan’s problems peacefully. The subjugated and oft-neglected people of Balochistan have suffered at the hands of consecutive federal governments that remained unmindful to the genuine needs of the Baloch. It is time to write a new chapter in Balochistan’s history, treating it astutely in accordance with the hope of its people. The CPEC project and Gwadar port is definitely going to play a very positive and constructive role in the life of a common Baloch which our enemy certainly can’t digest.
