Clouds of yet another military operation loom over Balochistan


Quetta: local sources and media reports from Balochistan suggest that Pakistani military is preparing for yet another military offensive in different regions in Balochistan. Baluchistan’s National news paper Daily Tawar reported that a large number of Pakistani FC has been deployed in Mand and started patrolling in the area. The According to Daily Tawar there is a sense of harassment among the residents. The FC has started the random stop and search policy in which is creating many difficulties for the residents especially women and children.

On the other hand BRp’s (Baloch Republican party) spokesman Mr. Sher Mohammad Bugti has said that there is no truth in the government of Baluchistan’s statements about the denial of military operation. He said that currently many member of his party are missing and recently the Pakistani security forces raided the house of Professor Naila Qadri, during the raid they misbehaved with respected Baloch women and children. Similarly BRP workers are being targeted by paid agents of ISI and the Pakistani intelligence agencies. Many member of BRP have been killed in Sindh in the last few days only.


He further stated that there was no difference between Musharraf and Zardari period of the governments. PPP is repeating the policies of Musharraf. He said it was the PPP era when we got the decomposed bodies of our leaders and activist, it was the PPP period when two Bugti Baloch were burnt alive in Dera Bugti. He reiterated that Baloch struggle for freedom will continue and Baloch national liberation struggle cannot be weaken by such heinous tactics of the government and their agents.

There are reports that FC has raided an area in New kahan (Marri camp) and arrested several people. The report further said that the Pakistani security persons have lowered the Baluchistan flag from Marri Jirga Hall (Where local elders would come together and hear the peoples’ problem and would settle the disputes - if any).

BSO Azaad’s website Sagaar.org has published the following report which also gives the indications of another possible military operation’s preparations in Balochistan.

"The civilized world should observe and take notice of the Baloch genocide and looting of Baloch resources, appealed the representatives of Kohlu Zone B.S.O. (Azad). They mentioned that in nearby areas of Baghao, rankni and Dera Bugti, preparations of a major army offensive are taking place. Another mass murder of innocent Baloch in these areas can be predicted by the major military movements in the area. They further said that these operations, mass murders and abductions of innocent Balochs cannot block the struggle for freedom as the Baloch Nation has now been totally aware and conscious and for the fight of survival and to save their identity Baloch are ready to sacrifice their lives as Shaheed Javed Akhter did, and we appeal the peace loving people in this world to come and witness by themselves the mass murder of Baloch and the looting of Baloch resources".

It may be notice that earlier the governor Balochistan Zulfiqar Magsi has rejected any possibility of military operation in Balochistan but the above reports suggest otherwise.
