RAPE OF BALUCHISTAN

NON-POLITICAL POLITICS.

RAPE OF BALUCHISTAN.

Khurshidalam44@hotmail.com Dated: London.

Baluchistan problem is no more the internal problem of Pakistan. The credit of internalising this issue goes to that “mind set” that rules Pakistan for the last 64 years. Baloch must be grateful to the rulers of Pakistan.

Today if it is a sub- committee in US congress tomorrow it may be the general assembly of UNO. As Mr Jamil Bugti and Akhtar Mengal said, without chewing words that there is no one to dialogue with. They have been invaded by army 5 times in the name of ideology of Pakistan and integrity of Non-Islamic, Islamic Republic of Pakistan. The two sacred cows has given free hand to the establishment of Pakistan, to crush any one who challenges the sanctity of this Dogma.

Dogma is always never negotiable. The dialogue is out.

There is wide gulf between Pakistan ruling class mentality and the aspiration of Baloch people. Baloch people are asking for human and national dignity and sanctity. The Pakistani rulers are dishing out political bribes in the form of political packages and provincial autonomy.

Some of the so-called die heart Pakistani intellectual attributes the miseries of a common Baloch to the Sardari system in Baluchistan. And advise the Baloch to shun Sardari and opt for Pakistan tailored Choudhrahat. What a treatment?

The gap in the perception is so wide that there seems no common ground to start meaningful dialogue. The Baloch nation deeply distrusts the Pakistani mental make up. They cannot be blamed for it.

The killing of the leading people of Baloch nation has shattered their confidence. They have a deep-rooted feeling that the nothing can stop the rabid elephant of Pakistan establishment when they come at rampage. They are the elephants of Porous crushing its own people. The constitution is a piece of paper to them.

Mr Fahad Husain was at real pains to know in “Agar” with the host to reach to the root cause but failed. This is the only sensible program started by ARY very recently.

It is inconceivable that the establishment does not know the real demand but they consider it contrary to the spirit to the ideology of Pakistan. The sacred cow cannot be touched at any cost. The only Baloch leader who supported the Pakistan was killed at the age of eighty by a surrogate General of Pakistan establishment, described by the daily Guardian, the dollar washed son of American Imperialism. He feels proud to confess it in every speech.

Neither the establishment nor the “Free Judiciary” is ready to take a So Moto action to sooth down the hurt aspirations of Baloch nation. The attitude speaks louder than intentions. Pakistani real rulers have never displayed their attitude to reflect their intentions.

There was only one occasion when Baloch entered as a nation in Pakistan’s politics in 1970 and had a land slide electoral victory in Baluchistan when they were all in NAP.

The dismissal of NAP government followed by the military invasion and the subsequent brutalities like the enucleating the eyes of the son of Sardar Mengal by a Pakistani colonel and to show to his father while he was admitted in Jinnah Hospital.

Gen Zia promised on oath that the culprit would be brought to justice. Like his entire oaths including the one he took in holy Kaaba were never fulfilled. He was a crook of the first order and a sectarian fundamentalist, supported by American to be used in Afghanistan and was killed by Americans after Ojhri Incidence.

It is very simple that the human dignity is a forerunner to national dignity. On regional level it is the basis of true federation and global level it is inter nationalism. It was negation of these rules that divided Pakistan and disintegrated a super power, USSR. Pakistan establishment is under oath not to learn from history nor care for the constitutions. So Moto actions are taken for personal gains.

Our rulers must accept the spirit of national and individual dignity. All other promises, packages, constitutional or extra constitutional favours come as a part and parcel with it. In Pakistan constitutional guarantee has been flouted several times after the constitution was made in 1973. The irony is that both, the generals and jurists flouted the constitution. In a country like Pakistan how can any body be trusted? Where the Jurists like clergy invent “ Nazria Zaroorat” and the general execute it according to their wish.

Pakistan mental make up needs land not people it was the reason of the creation of Bangla Dash, it will be the root cause of greater Baluchistan and so on. Pakistan is suffering from auto rejection phenomenon there is no point to put blames others. Unless this silly idea of integration of four nations in to one is abandoned nothing can save Pakistan.

Our rulers are shut to logic and have micro cephalic approach to the history of the world. They have no vision because they have no courage to acquire it. They are opportunists, myopic, political dwarfs and historical orphans. They want to divert the establish history by their impulses and personal whims and every time mutilate and brutalised themselves. They are amnesic lot. They forget the past and not used to learn from the history.

I had the opportunity to have extremely closed relations with Baloch leadership. I owe them I have been their student and a younger. They sincerely tried in 1972 to join the main stream but they were thoroughly disappointed and rejected. I have heard Sher Mohammad Mari (known as Sherof) telling Faiz Ahmad Faiz and I quote,” Faiz sb. I am a human. I have no food and no dignity. I don’t need one without the other. Please try to understand us.”

On another occasion when Late Ajmal Khattak told me to become a good doctor to serve my poor people, Nawab Khair Bakhsh chiselled in and said I am yet to see some one who is a doctor first and human being later. Earn human dignity first then serve your people dignifiedly.

I know my shortcomings as a writer but I hope I have explained quite clearly the feelings, aspirations and demands of Baloch and the inability or refusal of Pakistani rulers to understand them.

We the smaller nations are natural allies. The biggest triumph of Mr Bhutto was to break this alliance forgetting that he also belongs to a smaller nation. He paid for it.

While the federal constitution is being framed at this very moment the Jurists have offered their shoulder to the establishment. How can we be made to believe that those who have the power will not fire the bullet? How we can be made to believe that the power has shifted from GHQ to Parliament house.

Let me conclude with the famous statement of Air Martial Asghar Khan that Bangla Desh came in to existence when Lathies were raised in Lahore and bullets were fired in Dacca.

Now it is up to Fahad and Ghauri to learn from these small quotations. It is not important that Sui gas is all over Pakistan but not in Sui but it is not only denial of rights but also denial of dignity. It was further insulting by Kashif Abbasi to tell them that the Nawabs of Baluchistan are dictators. But if we accept this accusation what is the moral ground for Pakistani rulers to take the responsibility to liberate them from slavery.
