Pakistan has deployed thousands of Para-military, military and other so called security forces in different region in Balochistan in the name of restoring law and order situation and for the protection of what they call “National Installations”. These are Baluchistan’s National Installations not Pakistan’s, so who has invited Pakistan to come and protect them? Protecting them from whom?
The feelings of people in Balochistan about the deployment of army are totally different they believe the army is there to strengthen the hold on Balochistan land, to further the occupation. Reports from the ground suggest that the Para-military and army are arresting anyone who wears a Balochi Dress. Young Baloch men are being humiliated by the army in the middle of roads in public. Several young men even complained that they were stop and asked to speak Punjabi. The forces there know that Punjabi is not the language of Balochistan but why would they still ask our young men to speak it?
According to a BBC Urdu people from most areas in Balochistan have boycotted by Pakistani flag and students have refused to sing the Pakistani National anthem. Perhaps that is why this year the government and Pakistani army has decided to celebrate the 14 August in a different way “
The Balochistan Provincial Capitol City of Quetta was sprucing up for some of the most tumultuous Independence Day celebrations, ever on 14th Aug.
“The entire City would be lit up with bright lights, and prizes would be distributed among the best, with heavy cash prize of Rs.20, 000 for the top, Rs.15000 for second and Rs.10, 000 for third position holders. A grand display of fireworks would be held on the day, with even mountaintops being decorated with visible colored lights”.
