The dysfunctional policies

By Sobdar Baluch

It is an established and undeniable fact that Pakistan was created by breaking United India in the name of religion, its religious fanatic entities provoked and incited Hindu-Muslim hatred and crafted the bogus two nations theory.  The flawed two nation theory was exposed when the Bengali Muslim revolted against Punjabi hegemony in Pakistan and eventually fought and gained independence in 1971. After laying the foundation of Pakistan on lies and deceit, its army and establishment started to terrorise its neighbours and the first victim of Pakistan was the Baloch nation whose free and sovereign country was invaded by Pakistan 27 March 1948.

Pakistan continues to terrorise and blackmail the world more aggressively. It stole the nuclear blueprints form the Netherlands in Europe and after successfully testing its nuclear weapons Pakistan exported to its nuclear know-how to Iran, Libya and North Korea. The Pakistan state its army and intelligence services continue to interfere, infiltrate and coordinated terrorist activities in Afghanistan and India. Most of the international terrorism-related incidents have also been directly or indirectly linked to Pakistan since past many years. Pakistan played double games with the international community in name of terrorism and also managed to keep Punjab a blind spot for the world to conceal its factories of terrorism (religious seminaries) and indoctrinations campuses in Lahore and Rawalpindi.

Pakistani army and ISI are hugely investing to accommodate the religious extremist groups and using them as strategic assets to use them as blackmailing chips against USA and rest of the international community. Pakistan army, ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence) and MI (Military Intelligence) have also penetrated in the secular and liberal population of occupied Balochistan with the intention to radicalise the Baloch Youth. Its army-backed religious groups flooded Quetta the capital city of occupied Balochistan with hate literature to promote its Jihadist ideology against USA, NATO, India, Israel and Afghanistan.

ISI funded Madrasas, Mullahs and religious parties also made death squads with the blessings of military and intelligence services to counter ongoing Baloch Liberation Movement, such groups and their member have licenses and passes to carry automatic and sophisticated weapons and roam freely to distribute literature leaflets, pamphlets. They also face no difficulty in delivering violent speeches issuing edicts against Western nations, India and Afghanistan. They also preach hatred and violence against Baloch patriots and Baloch freedom fighters that are defending Baloch borders and fighting Pakistan’s army from past 72 years.

Like, the Al Shams and Al Bader religious terrorist groups that were created by Pakistan army to counter the liberation struggle of Bengali people, the current death squad of Pakistan army label the Baloch freedom fighters of being agents of CIA, RAW, NDS and MOSSAD to justify their terrorism against Baloch struggle. The Baloch and as well the rest of the world know that these allegations against Baloch freedom struggle are baseless because if the Baloch had any external support or India, America, Israel and Afghanistan had supported Baloch struggle, Pakistan would not have continued its ongoing barbarism in Balochistan.  Baloch people have repeatedly warned the regional and international powers of Pakistan’s cunningness and deceitfulness but all to no avail so far.

Balochistan has vast reserves of natural resources and is one of the richest lands in the world but its people have been systematically kept backward and uneducated so that they cannot know about their right including their right to freedom.  Balochistan has trillions of dollars worth untapped resources including OIL, GAS, GOLD, IRON, URANIUM, and precious minerals but Iran, Pakistan and China are stealing these resources against the will and consent of Baloch nation in the name of development.

The mega exploitation project so-called CPEC is not being built to benefit the Baloch but it is for the benefit of China and Punjab. China wants to have a stronghold in Central and South East Asia and Punjab wants money so both have decided to fulfil their lust and greed on the virgin land of Balochistan. China also has strategic interests such as it want to build two naval bases in Balochistan’s coast and ‘a Chinese city’ for 5,00,000 Chinese nationals at a cost of $150 million in Gwadar as part of so-called China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.

In short, the CPEC is not for the prosperity, development and eradication of poverty in Balochistan but it’s designed by the military and establishment of Pakistan and China to counter and weaken India, USA and the Gulf state. The Baloch nation strongly opposes this exploitative evil design and are adamant to resist it to man.

Baloch people have been widely voicing their grave concerns about China-Pakistan nexus and urging the world to help the Baloch to stop China-Pakistan joint atrocities in Balochistan. The Free Balochistan Movement headed by Baloch patriot leader, Hyrbyair Marri, has been at the forefront to expose Chin-Pakistan expansionist design in the region. The FBM has organised several successful protest, marches and sit-in vigils against China and urged the Chinese people to ask its government to quit Balochistan.

Afghanistan, Balochistan, Bangladesh and India have been equally victims of Pakistani state terrorism since the division of India and creation of Pakistan. It is high time that the aforementioned nations, the Gulf States, the leadership of the West including the USA and Europe and Japan review their dysfunctional policies of trying to appease China, Pakistan and Iran. The leader of the world’s civilised nations should contact the pro-freedom Baloch leaders abroad to establish friendly relations and cooperation with the Baloch freedom struggle. An independent Balochistan is the need of the hour and a central point to build bridges between Central and South Asia with the West and Gulf states.

An Independent Balochistan is the only feasible option to counter China, Iran and Pakistan’s expansionist designs, stop Pakistani state terrorism against Afghanistan, India and NATO forces in Afghanistan and to counter Iranian proxy wars in the Middle East. The economy of Iran and Pakistan is already rapidly falling and the two fanatic states are on their knee. An independent natural resource-rich Balochistan would have two deep sea ports – port of Gwadar and port of Chabahar – the best trade links from Central and South Asia to rest of the world.
