Steps towards Independence

Pakistani state well known for terrorism, violence and cruelty. This is all because they never learn from their past, what so ever they did with east Pakistan now Bangladesh is continued in south Pakistan “Balochistan”.

People of Balochistan doesn’t have reach on basic necessities of life, more than half of Balochistan doesn’t get 2 times food, no clean water to drink, the natural gas which they own have reached 1200 kilometers far to Islamabad but still Baloch woman burn wood for their survival. Literacy rate the lowest in province as compared to other provinces of Pakistan and not even half of Punjab.

Baloch are always thought to be traitors of Pakistani state and they are behaved like foreigners, and neither Balochs feel proud to call themselves Pakistani. Balochistan was forcefully occupied by Pakistani establishment in 1948 since then Balochistan has been burning. They have suffered four military operations and 5th one continued. Many Baloch leaders have been martyred and the others are on exile. Those who are killed outnumber, but still nearly five thousand are missing and more then thousand bullet riddled bodies have been recovered from different parts of Balochistan.

Baloch leadership has always been trying to gain their independence back, and some asked for autocracy in Pakistan, but the situation of Balochistan reached on point of no return when Baloch veteran leader Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti was martyred in a military operation in 2006 in Musharaf era. The martyrdom of Bugti proved that Pakistani state never keep their word, they can commit any sin if it’s against their interest.

The good luck of Bangladesh was that they became an independent state in one military operation but Balochistan has beard 5 full-fledged military operation and suffering, Bengalis were lucky that they got Bangladesh to go, but Balochs are not safe in their own Balochistan, they were having a great fate that there leadership was safe and Baloch leader are martyred, abducted or exiled. There fortune was honorable because they ruled their state and Baloch land is ruled by establishment.

The Baloch steps towards independence have been taken sixty three years before and have continued their journey towards independence, the way may be harsh, the path may be difficult to cross, but now it seems that they are close to their destiny.
