CPEC: A Key Opportunity For Socio Economic Development of Balochistan

Imagine how ridiculous that sounds, when someone, who is born under the shadow of luxuries, lived there all his life in the ‘Glare of Money’, ignoring the fact that there are many living around his kingdom depending upon his mercy that he' nor his forefather ever spare. The life of common people in their surrounding was nothing but utter slavery; forget about asking for the rights with strong courage, they never even dare to beg these Sardari-Kings, ever.

Yes, that’s right; I am talking about the Sardars and Nawabs of Balochistan who are ruling poor Baloch since the time of independence but even after decades of rule they could not provide the basic facilities to their people. Saying that would be more appropriate that these rulers did not let their people have healthy life style; schools to hospitals, government to private sectors, roads to sewage system, in short nothing had been done that could help the common man in Balochistan.

                Beside taking share from budget these Sardars and Nawabs also used to take share of billions of rupees from ‘gas-wells’ in Balochistan BUT where all that money has gone, no one knows, not even government of Balochistan. Even a common man can tell you that why there was no development done during the period these Sardars have ruled Balochistan. I wonder why Balochistan government never had any check and balance on these elected Sardars sitting in the assembly; anyways it is a different debate that may not be relevant to my the topic; so let’s just get back to REAL issue of today: CPEC (China-Pakistan Economic Corridor).

                Couple of days back I scanned through a blog that was trying to create confusion by putting up so many misleading questions on CPEC (China-Pakistan Economic Corridor). In my views, these types of questions should not go un-noticed as it can easily distract common populace. So, here I am putting forward fact shed to all those questions one by one:

-          Multi-billion dollar economic corridor deal between Pakistan and China is aimed at colonizing the Balochistan province, and must be resisted.

Interesting, someone like grandson of Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti is talking about colonization in Balochistan? Especially when something really reassuring is going to happen for poor’s living in Balochistan? What these Nawabzadaz have done for people of Balochistan? Clean water? No; Good roads? No; Health and educational sectors? No; electricity and gas? No, nothing. Now ‘Mr. Perfect’ sitting in comfortable couch in Switzerland with dozen of pretty faces around him declaring a billion dollar project as ‘colonizing the Balochistan province’? wow that’s some REAL sincerity with the poor people of Balochistan?

-          Balochistan remains Pakistan’s poorest and least populous province.

Who is responsible for this? of course all those Nawabs and Sardars who had been elected by the people of Balochistan. Just for Mr. Brahamdagh Bugti’s information, let me take you back to the history for a while as he might have forgotten his forefather’s dodgy past; The Provincial Assembly of Balochistan was constituted under a Presidential order in 1972. The foundation of the present Assembly building was laid in 1973 by the Governor Mohammed Akbar Khan Bugti, from that time and till now ONLY Sardars and Nawabs are controlling Balochistan Assembly. If they haven’t done their job right, would that be fault of someone living in Punjab or Gilgit-Baltistan?

-          Rebel groups have waged a separatist insurgency in the province for decades, complaining that the central government in Islamabad and the richer Punjab province unfairly exploit their resources.

-          So finally they are admitting that the insurgents in Balochistan who are involved in anti-state activities in the name of so called ‘Narazgi’ (Anger) are just playing Naraz-Baloch card for Balochistan resources? Everything is in Balochistan, Sardars and Nawabs are controlling it then what this ‘Narazgi’ has to do with other provinces? It’s ‘I’ start putting blame on ‘my’ brother in-law’s wife for ‘my’ dirty kitchen instead of asking my wife to keep it clean; sorry for this example but that’s exactly how these RAW sponsored rebels are talking since decades..

-          Islamabad reacted to the insurgency by launching a military operation.

-          Brahamdagh Bugti, leader of the Baloch Republican Party living in exile in Switzerland, and grandson of slain nationalist leader Akbar Bugti, talks about the separatists’ stance on the Pakistani-Chinese deal.

So those who are fighting with heavy weapons and heavy explosives should be left free for roaming around in the Urban Areas of Balochistan? They should be set-free to bomb trains, damage public property and gas pipelines just because they are ‘angry’? Imagine how un-professional that sounds. Militants are angry on government and killing innocents in Balochistan’s markets, bus stops, railway stations and even using hand grenades on houses where innocent women and children live; should government of Pakistan let these militants do all that crap just because they are ‘ANGRY’? Are you even in your senses Mr. Bugti?

-          The Baloch separatist demand a share of the financial benefits and doesn’t allow China and the Punjab to use Balochistan for their benefits.

   
Government of Pakistan is giving all finances to elected members in Balochistan assembly. If militants are un-happy with that they should come through proper channel. Take part in elections, get elected, sit in assembly and talk like a ‘human’ if they are really seeking for ‘human rights’.

-          Some Baloch leaders have also complained that Islamabad deliberately changed the corridor route in favor of the Punjab, avoiding Balochistan’s key cities.

Mr. Brahamdagh Bugti now there are three arteries running in CPEC covering all the provinces of Pakistan. Stop lying from a cozy living room of Switzerland. Three CPEC routes – western, central and eastern alignments – were under consideration. Although the government insisted on building the western alignment in the first phase. The western route starts from Gwadar and passes through Turbat, Panjgur, Nag, Basima, Sorab, Qalat, Quetta, Qilla Saifullah and Zhob in Balochistan to reach Dera Ismail Khan in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and then heading to Hassan Abdal before reaching Islamabad.

-          There will be massive human rights abuses in Balochistan because of this deal.
A business deal that can help not only improve infrastructure of Balochistan but also can provide massive job opportunities for engineers, labors, architectures and businessmen community in particularly  for only Balochistan people. This megaproject is a massive investment plan that will transform Balochistan into a huge regional economic hub, in the region.

-          Isn’t there terrorism in the Punjab, in Karachi, and in other parts of Pakistan? But are there people attacked by helicopters like the residents of Balochistan?

I can present hundreds of examples in response to this illogical statement. Pakistan has been put in state of war and military action can be taken any time ANYWHERE needed depending upon how critical the intensity of  situation is, even in the heart of Islamabad someone challenging writ of the government and threatening/harassing civilians with weapons in their hands, government has not spare them no matter what. Lal-Masjid is the BIGGEST example, were they Baloch? No; they were only doing illegal activities and disturbing ‘law and order situation’ just like militants are doing in Balochistan. Government is dealing all terrorists equally; doesn’t matter if they are living in FATA or Loralai.

-          Everyone knows how the lawmakers get elected to Balochistan’s provincial assembly.
This argument is quite interesting. Brahamdagh’s grandfather had been part of the Balochistan assembly and remained as governor of the province, by lifting such points isn’t he actually leaving BIG question mark on the ‘era’ when his grandfather was part of the elected government’?

-          CPEC would not bring any prosperity to people of Balochistan.

I wonder what makes Mr. Brahamdagh feels that this development project will not bring any prosperity to people of Balochistan. He nor his forefathers or any other Sardar in Balochistan could bring such type of mega projects for the Socio economic development of Balochistan (except Gwadar project which was also completed in General Mushraf’s era).

-          Some clerical jobs? We don’t want to be the gatekeepers of gas pipelines; we demand a fair share of the wealth for our province.

This again leave question mark on all those Sardars and Nawabs who never took interest in education sector of Balochistan. When you provide no educational facilities to people of this province how these people can get job of some engineer?  After ruling decades you people have not done nothing for poor Baloch, children of Sardars and Nawabs are completing studies in Oxford university but a common Baloch living in the deserts of Balochistan doesn’t even have a proper school in Balochistan. Baloch are having 6 percent quota in civil superior services of Pakistan & Balochistan public service commission is only for the people of Balochistan which offers merit & quota based jobs to Baloch people.

                If Sardars have been ruling Baloch people then it is their responsibility to provide basic facilities to Baloch citizen that includes clean water, better health and educational facilities, schools and hospitals, buildings roads and power supplies along with proper sewerage system. BUT nothing has been done so far, since past decade government of Pakistan is building school, colleges and universities in Balochistan with the help of Pakistan Army. Many small projects are already under process and CPEC (China-Pakistan Economic corridor) is above all those projects. These development projects are ray of hope to end Sardari and Nawabi colonization in Balochistan, for them which is very hard to digest.

                I, as a responsible citizen of Pakistan, urge all these Sardars and Nawabs to eradicate this self-exiled life and instead of seeking for political asylum in Switzerland and England ‘return to Pakistan’ and do something good for Baloch what their forefather could never do.

Let’s not blur the lines between Activism and Terrorism

Taking lead from the current trend in the country, LUMS – Lahore University of Management Sciences’s Professor invited the so-called human rights activist Mr. Abdul Qadeer Reki, commonly known amongst the masses as “Mama Qadeer” in the seminar held in Islamabad on 9^th April, 2015. Other members in the panel included Mir Mohammad Ali Talpur, Aasim Sajjad Akhtar, Sajjad Changezi, editor of “Daily Times” Rashid Rahman, and Farzana Majeed. Mama Qadeer, who is himself chairman of VMBP (Voice for Baloch Missing Persons) claims that his son, Jalil Reki was killed by the agencies of Pakistan, and has since surmounted much popularity and support from the separatist and anti-state groups of the country. As a matter of fact, Jalil Reki was not killed by the agencies; instead he was killed in one of the fights between Baloch tribes’ coalition Amann Lashkar and BRA ( Balochistan Republic Army) .

Jalil was a member of BRP (Balochistan Republic Party), a separatist organization who claimed responsibility for the bombing and destruction of the country’s national heritage site, Ziarat Residency in Quetta, besides being a part of other illegal and terrorist involvements.

Similarly, Mama Qadeer’s own past is quite disreputable. Qadeer used to work in UBL (United Bank Limited) in Quetta. He was fired by UBL, due to his fraudulence activities. Henceforth, Mama Qadeer has been involved in speaking out against the law-enforcing agencies of the country. He claims that Pakistan’s military is behind the killing of numerous innocent people, termed as ‘Missing Persons’ by the VMBP organization. These missing persons in reality are trained insurgents, specially trained in specific places of Afghanistan and India to fuel cross-border terrorism in Pakistan.

With such a colorful background and anti-Pakistan motives, the government did right to cancel Mama Qadeer’s seminar. However, there has been much frenzy about the topic, most of which was created in support of Mama Qadeer. Interestingly, the cancellation of 9^th April’s event is being termed as an anti-Balochistan move, ironically, for a person who even though calls himself a Balochi but does not believe in Balochistan being a part of Pakistan!

How is then silencing him because of his potent anti-state? Balochistan is a land laden with history of patriots, sacrifices, injustices even and for a past few years a nexus for geo-political turmoil. Balochis, a vast majority of them, are patriotic people, whose ancestors envisioned a united Pakistan, full of opportunities for the region’s youth. However, many of the region’s landlords have made sure to give the province a fate which is otherwise. It is important to be noted that such separatist and terrorist organizations do NOT represent the sentiments of Balochs. Whoever does wrong must be brought to justice, but thankfully, the nation’s people are not so naïve so as to believe every so-called human rights activist who spews negativity against the country’s very own guardians and upholders of justice as the culprits behind the terrorist war of the country, when the facts, documented incidents and proofs all say so otherwise. Sorry Mr. Qadeer but you can’t fool the nation’s youth any more, at least not all of them, because there is a difference between activism and championing terrorism, and you, with your own personal history, affiliations and financing, side with the latter! In the end i am utterly amazed by such an unwise and unpatriotic initiative by LUMS (Lahore University of Management Sciences). Such a blunder was never expected from an educational institute of such stature and repute.  

Khuzdar, The City Of Opportunities

It was Friday the 13th of March 2015, when in the evening after having a tiring but amazing day in university with friends, I begin chatting with my cousin in Karachi. While sitting in my peaceful living room,I was telling her about various educational programs being offered by Balochistan University of Engineering and Technology in Khuzdar. In the middle of conversation, she showed me a piece of writing, written by someone I had never heard before. Whatever was written in that article was hard to believe for a person like me, who actually belonged to Khuzdar. I began a little investigation and came across many things. I even contacted few journalists and tried to figure out things, the more I studied, the more my curiosity increased. After completing my research, I have so many things to share with all those who believe in the crap written.

            Before I come to the actual point, I would like to ask you to imagine the height of anger and frustration if you plan something for fifteen years and then that hard work goes wasted? Due to my quest as a student, I acquired some information and came to know about Operation Blue Tulsi, which was exposed by Pakistani media in 2009. Since then its planners are fuming with anger and frustration as it broke the back bone of their greater plan. A plan that is even greater then it smells to an average mind like yours and mine,as it is spread from North Waziristan to FATA, Karachi to Lahore and Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa to Balochistan. 90 out of 100 attempts of defaming the security forces and establishment got miserably failed; frustration turned into never ending revenge with sand slipping out of their dirty hands with failed cards to play around.

            When all on ground attempts of creating chaos begun to fail and rate of success stayed constantly below 2 to 3 percent only, one thing could help the enemy and that was “PROPAGANDA”. Just to make you understand the power of propaganda, I would like to quote an example here, the example of “Jakob the Liar”. A poor but clever Jewish shopkeeper, who was caught out in curfew during World War II and sent to Nazi concentration camp in Poland, where Hitler used to torture and kill Jews. Jakob begin to cook imaginary stories regarding a radio hidden in his cell and news bulletins about Allied advances against the Nazis. Jakob told prisoners that they should remain hopeful as the army of Hitler is facing savage beating in the battlefield. These lies brought humor and life among the disheartened ghetto inhabitants. Later, when prison officials discovered about Jakob’s stories and his radio news bulletins, a search operation was conducted that revealed that there was no radio found in his cell. The propaganda of Jakob succeeded, even after he was caught and killed by Germans. His propaganda did the job that no one could do at that time. The Jews still consider Jakob as a hero and believe that the Germans were liars.

            The reason why I quoted this example is to tell my readers that the same method has been applied in Pakistan since decades, where even after getting failed time, our enemy is not going on back-foot, and the reason is that the enemies within our ranks are playing the key role for their foreign masters intentionally or unintentionally. Stories of lies and deceptions are everywhere on the name of freedom of speech or journalism or whatever you may name it. They will tell you stories but will never come up with proof or even the identity of their sources is dubious. On one hand they openly accuse security forces and on the other hands claim that identity of sources cannot be disclosed due to life threats. They can tell you that they were kidnapped by security forces but then they escaped after few months. Did captors show them their identities after kidnapping? Is it possible that someone who kidnaps you, tells you that he is working for someone whom you are against and actually he (the kidnapper himself) is also against that group or specific person? Why the enemies kill your relatives instead of killing you directly? How come you are still alive? This is because they want you to defame the establishment otherwise your loved ones would have to pay the price with their blood.

            It is obvious that the writer has written the story from the angle of Baloch separatists by maligning the establishment and the people who are siding with the state. There must be some kind of real investigative journalism to find out the truth about him. Who knows that this report might be a complete fabrication of his mind because anyone can fabricate stories like these claiming to have come from anonymous sources? According to my research even if his kidnapping story is true, It’s a known fact that different groups of kidnappers who work under the orders of foreign masters tell their hostages that they are in custody of state agencies, to make them believe that state is responsible for all these atrocities. There is no way to know if he was kidnapped by Mengal or someone opposed to Mengal to malign him. Similarly, there is no way to know if the people killed were killed by one group or the other to malign each other.

            At the end of the day, the benefits of this title “Khuzdar, the city of padlocks” seems to remove all the checkpoints of law enforcement agencies, so that the foreign elements involved in terrorism do not have to face much trouble in transporting weapons into these areas? I do not consider the writer to be a true journalist, rather an novice one, who has left so many question unanswered even after writing lengthy paragraphs.

Balochistan - The Ground Realities!

A lot of has been said about the situation in Balochistan by the so-called "Pakistani media", most of which are complete lies. If you really want to understand about what's happening in Pakistan, TURN OFF YOUR TV!

Turn Off The News Channels

These instruments of misinformation have confused the common Pakistani to such an extent, that we can't even think for ourselves anymore. News channels always force opinions onto us, instead of giving us the facts. Shouldn't it be up to us? Who is Hamid Mir to tell us what we should think? What credibility does he even have? The media in Pakistan has crossed all boundaries imaginable - the term "journalism ethics" is absent in the vocabulary of most in our media. If you really want to know what's happening in Pakistan, here's a few things you can do:

a) GO THERE AND FIND OUT! If you have never been to Balochistan in your life, who the are you to discuss it? If you have never met a Baloch in your life, who are you to discuss their rights? 

b) READ! Newspapers, blogs, whatever - when you read about an event it's always a thousand times better than having some idiot like Hamid Mir brainwash you with lies. When you read about a situation or event, it's much easier to differentiate between facts and bias. You can easily go research online about that event or situation in particular, instead of listening to con artists on TV.

This irresponsible behaviour from the Pakistani media has led us to the situation we are in today. These so called journalists sit in there comfortable Islamabad or Karachi studios and are told what to say. I bet most of them have never stepped foot outside these cities! If so, who are they to discuss national issues? Pakistani media as lost all its credibility and shouldn't be taken seriously at all. If you want to find out what's happening in Balochistan, get up, go online, research and FIND OUT YOURSELF! Whatever conclusion you come to at the end, at least YOU made that decision yourself! 

Balochistan - The Reality & What The Media Refuses To Tell You!

Balochistan isn't going anywhere - the common Baloch is like any other Pakistani. He or she is sick and tired of corruption in the Federal and Provincial governments and wants more autonomy. Wanting more autonomy should not be confused with situations in Indian Occupied Kashmir or Indian Occupied Assam where the people are rebelling against the Indian Government and want to form a separate nation. The situation in Balochistan is no different than in any other province in Pakistan - everyone is fed up with this government! So what makes Balochistan so different then? There has been a deliberate information war started by the likes of SAFMA (South Asian Free Media Association) in Pakistan to create this hue and cry about Pakistan breaking up. Nothing could be farther from the truth...stay firm and stay united - this country is not going anywhere! If this country wanted to break up, it would have done so a VERY long time ago.

Baluchistan forms:

- 42% of Pakistan's total area

- 04% of Pakistan's total population (roughly 8 million)

Out of these 8 million, 5 million are Pashtuns, Brahwis, Makranis, Punjabis and Sindhis who have no desire whatsoever to separate from Pakistan. Within the Baloch population, a massive majority are in favour of Pakistan and are proud nationalists. The "separatists" are just a few thousand misguided men from only 4 districts out of the 30 districts of the province. These include the likes of Hyberyar Marri and Brahmadagh Bugti who are being aided from the United States to wage a war against Pakistan. The reality is, even within the Bugti and Marri tribe, there are thousands of youth who are great patriots of Pakistan and understand the sick game which is being played. 

Nawab Akbar Bugti

Nawab Akbar Bugti exiled his own Raheja, Kalpar and Messori sub-tribes into Multan and Dera Ghazi Khan for 15 years. During that period, he took over the lands of Sui and Dera Bugti. He persecuted his own Baloch people and killed his own family members for demanding rights. Hospitals, schools and roads were commonly destroyed by this man - a man who himself had an Oxford education. This is where Army intervened in 2004 to protect the Bugti Tribe from the crimes of Akbar Bugti and helped the Kalpar, Messori and Raheja Bugtis return to their native lands. Upon this, Akbar Bugti began to wage war against Pakistan where he was then chased into the surrounding hills and committed suicide. Yes, Akbar Bugti committed suicide and was NOT killed by the Army. 

Mir Ahmadan Bugti

Today, the Dera Bugti MNA is Mir Ahmadan Bugti, a patriotic Raheja Baloch. He was the first cousin of Akbar Bugti, who was exiled with over a 100,000 Baloch by Akbar Bugti. The Army brought him back and has been elected MNA by the entire Bugti tribe. He defends Pakistan against the terrorists of Brahmadagh Bugti, who are funded by the United States. You commonly hear the interviews of Brahmadagh Bugti in this SAFMA controlled media but you never hear the voice of Mir Ahmadan Bugti. Why is that have you ever wondered? This is how media manipulates the truth. Go and ask Mir Ahmadan Bugti about the truth of Bugtis being against Pakistan and he will tell you quite a different story - most Baloch stand by Pakistan, but they DO not support this government at all. 

Army vs Media

Had the Pakistan Army not attacked the TTP & BLA terrorists (same people with different uniforms) the country would have been completely destroyed by now. This is why you see all this fake propaganda against the "missing persons" and Army atrocities against the Baloch. In reality, the FC and Pakistan Army are defending Pakistan against CIA backed insurgencies. The media wants to continually brainwash you into hating the military, so when the real time comes to support the Army, none of you will. This is how psychological warfare works!

BLA vs BRA

There is a massive infighting between the BRA (Balochistan Republican Army) and BLA (Balochistan Liberation Army). Both groups regularly kill each other for weapons, money and lands. Many times it's one or the other who kill each other and they both at the end blame the Army. Many have gone to Afghanistan for CIA training and their families register them as missing persons - this is how the media manipulates and twists the truth. This is all part of the war against the Pakistan Army.

What Do The Americans Want? 

The Americans essentially want to create a post on the Gulf to tackle not only Afghanistan, but China, Pakistan and Iran as well. The recent resolution in the US Congress has encouraged exiled separatists to encourage the CIA for a Libyan style invasion, but that won't happen as long Pakistan has NATO by it's testicles. The US do not have the resources, weapons or courage in making a landing at Gwadar or at any point along the Makran coastline. 

What Do The Balochis Want? 

The Baloch are not happy - there is no question or doubt in anyone's mind that they have been the most unfairly treated people in Pakistan. The CIA did not create all these problems, we did - the CIA has now only been recently exploiting the situation. The Balochis want there fair share - there lands are amongst Pakistan's most richest in terms of oil, gas and minerals yet the Baloch people do not get any royalties for it. Today, Balochistan should be amongst all other provinces in developmental indicators but it's not. Why? There are many reasons - the first has been our corrupt and horrible governments which have ignored Balochistan for decades. Quite literally there are still parts of the Balochstan with NO gas - this is quite sad because most if not all of the gas in Pakistan comes from Balochistan! There is no question that Central government needs to take the complaints of the Baloch people seriously. It's quite obvious they are upset, and the longer you ignore there cries for help, the more serious this issue will become! The second has been how the Sardar's have prevented any development from occurring in the province - for them any sign of education is a threat to there power. The longer the average Baloch is uneducated, the more powerful the Sardar gets as he can manipulate and control the common people. Once again, the Government failed in stopping these people - all of the problems in Balochistan (and the rest of Pakistan for that matter) arise from corruption - the more corrupt leaders we elect and support, the more we destroy our own country.

Balochistan is not East Pakistan

This common perception fueled by the media that the situation in Baluchistan is like East Pakistan - wrong. East Pakistan may have left Pakistan, but in reality Bhutto did not want it anymore. It was not in the interest of West Pakistan to hold a wing thousands of kilometers away, surrounded by an enemy with 45% of it's landmass at or below sea level. East Pakistan was quite frankly a disaster waiting to happen. Balochistan is within Pakistan - it's not surrounded by an enemy and it's quite clear the people of Balochistan are upset at this government, and not Pakistan. One could argue the same thing for East Pakistan - in fact, many prior to 1971 were calling for East Pakistan to become an autonomous state within Pakistan. It would legally be still apart of Pakistan, but would control it's own affairs like language, health, education while Pakistan would provide military and diplomatic support. Also many Baloch are in power throughout Pakistan today, from the Governor to Chief Minister to Ministers, all are Baloch in the government. The President of Pakistan is also a Baluch. Farooq Leghari was a Baluch also. Mazari was the Prime Minister and was a Baluch also. Jamali was the PM and was a Baluch also. Baluchi Pakistanis from Baluchistan have reached the highest offices of this country. If Baluchistan has not seen received developments, it's because of those people like Akbar Bugti who refuse to allow the common Baloch to rise. It's not the fault of the Army or the ISI that development is not occurring - when terrorists from the BLA destroy schools, hospitals and kidnap construction workers, how do you expect any development to occur? The whole country is suffering today, not just Baluchistan. 

How To Resolve The Issue --- VOTE!

The resolution is simple - THIS GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO GO. As long as these American stooges are in power, nothing will change. Regardless of what part of the country you are in, there is one common consensus - THIS GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO GO NOW! You can do this very easily, by voting in the next election. The situation in Balochistan needs to be looked at thoroughly and fairly. Yes the Baloch people have been unfairly represented and treated over the years - many of the resources in Balochistan are unfairly distributed within the country and a serious resolution should be made so the people of Balochistan benefit from the development, instead of corrupt politicians. This situation is no different than in any other province today.

Stop believing the garbage the media is feeding you - they are mouthpieces of the United States! Turn off that garbage and if you ever want to know the reality of any situation, GO THERE YOURSELF and find out. Stop letting the media tell you how you should think!
