Mole in Nehru’s Ministry & Baloch Bugti’s Murder

Is Balochistan another Bangladesh? Is Bond of Religion stronger than bond of Patriotism? Oh! Our brothers all Khans! Come on! Aamir, Salman, Shahrukh Fardeen Saif Ali! Aao mil kar gayen “Vandematram”

Akbar Khan Bugti 'Tiger of Balochistan' 79-year-old with arthritis Sardar of more than 200,000 Bugti tribesmen now became Martyr of Baloch nationalism like Nauroz Khan before him. 96 year old Nauroz Khan himself died in Kholu prison in 1964, becoming another Baluch martyr.
Aao mil kar jhume naache gayen “Vandmatram”
In 1971, at the height of the Bangladesh war, processions were taken out in Quetta in favour of independence for Balochistan. Slogans were raised praising Indira Gandhi and surprisingly, General Jagjit Singh Arora, who was perceived as the liberator of Bangladesh. The first revolt in the 1970s was ruthlessly put down by the Pakistani army led by General Tikka Khan, who earned the nickname of 'Butcher of Balochistan'.

Secular Muslim who don’t want to sing ‘Vandematram’ and India’s Hindu Deputy Ambassador at London who inaugurated the exhibition of MF Hussain’s nude paintings should learn the patriotic verdict of Actor Phiroze Khan which he gave in Pakistan.

Oh! Our brothers all Khans! Come on! Aamir, Salman, Shahrukh Fardeen Saif Ali Khan! Please aao mil kar jhume naache; Aazadi ke liye jo kurban huye unki jara yaad karen, Kaput naheen Saput banen; Kheton mein hariyali naachi gagan mein jhume badal ... haath me de ke haath woh gayen “Vandematram”

Sindhi, Baloch and Pashtun are India’s Genuine Friends
Jinnah fulfilled his demand of the Partition of India on the basis of his two-nation theory that the Hindus and the Muslims could not live together in the same nation. Jinnah's two-nation theory was supported by the Punjabi, Bengali and Sindhi Muslims, but not by the Pashtuns and the Balochs. The Pashtuns led by Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan, who came to be known as the Frontier Gandhi, and the Balochs led by their tribal sardars, strongly opposed the policies of Jinnah and supported Gandhi.

While the Balochs and the Pashtuns opposed the creation of Pakistan, the Sindhis supported it and their leader the late G M Syed was a co-sponsor of the famous Lahore Resolution, calling for the creation of Pakistan. Even he got disillusioned by the post-1947 evolution of Pakistan as a nation dominated by the Punjabi Muslims. Before his death in the 1990s, he admitted that he had committed a Himalayan blunder by co-sponsoring the Lahore Resolution.

Sindhi, Baloch and Pashtun nationalists are constitute the only genuine friends of India in Pakistani civil society.

Who was mole in Nehru’s Ministry?
Please remember March 1946 and the incidents of after that. Khan of Kalat deputed Samad Khan — a member of the AICC — to plead Kalat’s case with the Congress leadership. But Pt.Nehru and Maulana Azad could not help him. Then, an AIR broadcast of March 27, 1948, reported a press conference by V.P. Menon, Secretary in the Ministry of States. It said Menon revealed that the Khan of Kalat was pressing India to accept Kalat’s accession, but that India would have nothing to do with it. The Khan was upset by this. He reportedly told Jinnah to begin negotiations for Kalat’s treaty with Pakistan. The Cabinet minutes of that meeting, as well as Nehru’s reply to a question on March 30, 1948, made clear that Menon was misquoted. But the damage had already been done.

Nehru acted against India’s Interest
Pt. Nehru acted on the advice of Sheikh Abullah against the interest of India to accept ceasefire on the winning stage and thus PoK came in the picture. Shoina Gandhi should participate in public debate on Gandhi and Gandhism. Leader should be known by his work instead of name.

The Balochs had stood by Mahatma Gandhi and the Congress Party during the independence struggle against the British. They had opposed the partition of India and the creation of Pakistan. If India had to be partitioned, they would have preferred an independent Balochistan. The Balochs were the closest to Gandhi's heart.

There was a time when Jinnah could not set foot in the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) and Balochistan because of the strong local support to Gandhi and opposition to him

Chanaky needed
As his predecessors, Musharraf empowered Punjabis and the Mohajirs to marginalize the Sindhi, Baloch and Pashtun nationalist. Now Nawaz Sharif a Punjabi former PM of Pakistan is also against his enemy number one.
Musharraf and other Pakistani leaders come to India; they do not hesitate to interact with the Kashmiri Hurriyat leaders and others, whom they look upon as the objective allies of Pakistan in the Indian civil society. Why do our leaders, during their visits to Pakistan, fight shy of similarly interacting with our objective allies in the Pakistani society?

I.K.Gujral, L.K.Advani, Manomohan Singh and so many political guns were born the places which are now in Pakistna. But they are behind Musharraf in ‘Kootneti’. We don’t want only External Affair Minister we also want ‘Chanakyas’.

India always remained ‘Mook darshak’ towards Afghan, Baluch and Pakhtunistan. Balochistan] is ideally located for any military incursion into Iran," Iran and US both want India’s help. Now it depends on India how it may be able to bargain. Since 1980s, Balochistan served as a key staging area for the anti-Soviet resistance in Afghanistan. Islamabad aided the Islamization of Balochistan partly to quell Baloch separatism as the mullahs politically marginalized the nationalists. Today, the provincial government is still ruled by a coalition of hard-line religious parties that allegedly still support the Taliban - forcing the Army to beef up of Talibanization presence there now.

These days, Baloch nationalists want more control over resources and more jobs. The Sui gas plant has been a sore point, as Balochistan was the last area to get the gas being sent across the country. Nationalists now want a greater share of revenues.

Another target for militants is the coastal city of Gwadar, where a major port is under construction.

US and Chinese Military presence is also threat for them.

Is Balochistan another Bangladesh?

Exiled former Pakistan Premier Nawaz Sharif said that killing of Baloch tribal leader Nawab Akbar Bugti in an Army operation is an attack on Pakistan's unity. Recalling the remarks made by President Pervez Musharraf that Baloch tribal leaders will be hit so hard that they will not know what hit them; Sharif said "today Musharraf has demonstrated it." "I feel sad that the weapons we acquired for protection of the defence and security of the country are being used against our own people from Waziristan to Balochistan." Sharif also reminded that "such operations resulted in formation of Bangladesh" in 1971. "Now, Musharraf has started the same kind of operations," he said,
Both the Vietnam war in its final stages and the Afghan conflict clearly proved that a conventional armed force cannot be defeated by guerrilla fighters alone. So Dream of Baloclh and Pakhtoons would be turn in reality by the help of others as mentioned above.
Balochistan is not Bangladesh at present.

Is Bond of Religion stronger than bond of Patriotism?
As a matter of record, Geelani of Hurriyat got a lease of life when he was treated for cancer in Mumbai's Tata Memorial Centre (at the Indian taxpayers expense) a few years ago. That he continues to spew venom at India and Indians speaks volumes of his character.

A resurgence of ethnic nationalism is a reminder of the fragility of this close US ally and nuclear power. Pakistan became a separate Muslim state after the British quit the Indian subcontinent in 1947. But the bonds of religion have not eliminated ethnic tensions in the country, which has seen violent separatist movements among its Pashtuns, Balochs, and Sindhis - as well as a successful bid by Bengalis to carve out an independent Bangladesh

How Baloch may be free from Musharra’s dictorial prison?

Bugti said: "I have been a Baloch for several centuries. I have been a Muslim for 1400 years. I have been a Pakistani for just over fifty." Some sucidical advised Mush to crush the Baloch leaders, which includes three prominent Sardars, Bugti, Khair Bux Marri and Ataullah Mengal. He had been attempting to get all Baloch nationalist parties under one umbrella. Of late, he had been in the limelight during the ongoing anti Mush regime resistance. The importance of the Baloch Nationalism, its origin and development as a case study cannot be ignored. The Baloch, after all, represent more than ten million people dispersed throughout Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan and Gulf States.

Balochistan spreads over 135,000 square miles but is home to only 6 million people. It borders Iran and Afghanistan, giving the territory strategic importance to both Pakistan and the US, which has been turning up the heat on Iran. But it is not less important for India. It is more important for us than US.

They should draw inspiration from the Bangladesh struggle for independence and unite not only among themselves, but also with the Sindhi nationalists, the Shias of Gilgit and Baltistan and the people of the POK, who had seen how the Pakistan Army treated them as an expendable commodity after the recent quake in order to achieve their common objectives. Their strength will be in their unity. Disunity will be fatal.
