Balochistan: A Twelve year minor student of ninth class abducted allegedly by Pakistani agencies

Quetta: Students strongly protested against the abduction of a ninth grade student by unknown armed kidnappers, in Balochistan’s provincial capital, Quetta. The protectors alleged that the Pakistani secret agencies were behind this heinous crime of abducting a minor student.

Abdul Nabi, a twelve year ninth grade student of Kalli Sheikh Khan High School, was kidnapped on Tuesday’s morning while his driver was taking him to school.

According to the details told by Abdur Rahim, his driver, a Prado blocked their road on railway track, in Moosa Colony, armed people came out of the car, blind folded Adbur Rahim and the time Abdur Rahim untied his eyes, the Kidnappers had already taken the boy away and had disappeared.

Soon the news of the abduction of the minor Baloch boy reached to every ear in the city. Upon hearing the disturbing news Baloch Students and family members of Abdul Nabi protested in front of Quetta press club, and strongly criticized the provincial government and demanded immediate release of Abdul Nabi.

Meanwhile Abdul Nabi’s elder brother Dur Muhammed demanded the Chief Minister and Governor of Balochistan to make every effort to make sure the immediate release young Abdul Nabi.

Students from different schools in Quetta boycotted the classes and a student of Sendemen School warned of burning his course books if Abudl Nabi was not released within 24 hours. Students said that provincial government has failed to control the illegal abductions of Baloch students and teachers by the secret agencies and the people are kidnapped for the core crime of being Baloch.

Police has registered a case against unknown abductors but no arrests have been made so far. Also the police have failed to recover the abducted minor Baloch student. Though D.I.G. Quetta Shahid Nizam Durrani shurged off questioning that “why would secret agencies of Pakistan kidnap a child”. There must be any other reasons behind this incident as Abdul Nabi’s father is a contractor as well as a member of Muslim League, he added. The D.I.G. however said that the Police was looking into the incident and very soon they will apprehend the real culprits.

FACTS: Whether this minor student has been abducted by the intelligences or not but some facts in this regard should be considered; Pakistani intelligence agencies have been involved in abducting not only children but also elderly men and women, whose whereabouts are still unknown. Only, last month two – four years old sons of Mr Malook Marri were abducted by the personal of Intelligence agencies and were release after 48 hours only after intense pressure from Baloch community and local elders. An eighteen year old member of BSO – azaad Afzal sher Baloch has also been abducted by the intelligence agencies of Pakistan. Afzal Sher baloch is still missing.

Mine kills five FC soldiers, hurts four in Balochistan

QUETTA: A landmine killed five paramilitary soldiers and wounded four others in the Marwar area of Balochistan province on Thursday, security officials said.

The blast happened in a hilly area home to dozens of coalfields, about 30 kilometers east of Quetta, the provincial capital. ‘Our vehicle hit a mine, killing five soldiers and injuring four others,’ a Frontier Corps (FC) official told AFP on condition of anonymity.

‘The vehicle was returning to Quetta after delivering food supplies to soldiers stationed in the area,’ he said. One of the injured is in a serious condition, he added.

The injured security officials have been shifted to Quetta for medical treatment.

However, soon after the incident senior security officers reached the area to probe into the incident. They also cordoned off the area to investigate the incident.

So far no group has claimed responsibility but officials believe that Baloch militant groups could be behind the planting of the landmines.

Taliban; helplessness, the punishment of the bad deeds or golden egg laying chicken for Pakistan?

Pakistan's president Asif Ali Zardari after coming in power took the beggar's pot and started begging in the name of funds. The United States and other friend countries refused politely saying 'Pardon us old beggar!' As Pakistan is suffering from very poor financial conditions, its rulers tried different dialects to earn money i.e. in the name of Islam and neighborhood hoping to get any capital from Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and China. It had a clear attitude towards Europe and US i.e. begging along blackmailing (which still exists) that if the West doesn’t help Pakistan, Islamic extremists might spread worse disaster in their countries. We (Pakistan) are fighting West's war etc etc. But this is very untrue. The following war and the Taliban both have become very important to Pakistan. Pakistan cannot save the world from the ongoing war or from Taliban and neither it wants to do so because from the beginning of Afghan war till today, Pakistan has been wasting money (like a rich man's careless son) without caring about where it is coming from. It seems Pakistan is suffering from the burden of millions of Afghan refugees but Pakistani rulers know very well how to cash this burden and what the real price of it is. If billions of dollars from the US and the West wouldn’t fly to Pakistan its economical condition would have never let it become a nuclear power.
Afghanistan is on war from last 31 years whereas regardless peace in Pakistan nothing was achieved. There was no difference between the so-called democracy and the martial law. No difference was felt in citizen's life nor did the economy of the country get a bit stronger. To get funds on behalf of Afghan war and country's own debts, political statements and false console were used. Every day is not Sunday, the world at last became fed up of helping Pakistan whereas the result was opposite of expectations being nightmares and worse. Pakistani state is toward its decline and Taliban who were fighting in different forms(under Pakistan's supervision) against the Soviet Union has strengthened its roots in Pakistan along with Al-Qaeda. Mega corruption, political destabilization, anarchy, economical crisis and religious extremism are the main promoters of Terrorism in Pakistan.
Pakistan's dual definition about Taliban;
In Pakistan there is a concept of Pakistani Taliban and other Taliban which the US, West and India had repeatedly told the world about. Perhaps this was the reason media started to report (in the beginning of Swat operation) that on one hand military operation is going on in Swat whereas on the other hand clear and safe places are left for Taliban to run away. Innocent people are going to be used to show the effects of operation as positive. US and West are going to cheers on this situation, while on the other hand the real people (Pakistan provided leadership of Taliban) are going to succeed in running away. Some of these (Pakistani) Taliban are given the duty of violating the situation in the state of Baluchistan in order to get the ongoing genocide certificate to kill Pro-liberation Baloch in the name of Taliban and deceive the civilized world making them spectators.
It is necessary for Pakistani rulers to make sure that a part of Taliban remains safe which can be used to provoke hatred against India. Peace, stabilization and Indian influence in Afghanistan is never tolerated in Pakistan. It can be said satisfactorily that having peace in Afghanistan democratic wise India is imagined to be its best partner rather than Pakistan.
It is much easy for the economically stabilized and the secular India to strengthen its roots in Afghanistan. There has been never found any animosity against India in Afghanistan nor its leadership or people had any hatred against it. Whereas, Pakistan's popularity among Afghanis remained negative. A large number of Afghanis still blame Pakistan for all the annihilations occurred in their country. Therefore, Pakistan still needs Taliban activities and strict motives in Afghanistan, Kashmir and India itself. Promoting the debate of Talibanisation is necessary for Pakistani establishment's own security as well as to let Pashtoon divided. In today's modern age, religious extremism is the only slogan which has diverted the Pashtoons from national freedom struggle and stuck them in religious war. Hence today Pashtoons are unaware of their national freedom from Pakistan; they are fighting a war worth freedom and demanding religious law implementation (sharia). Pakistan is very aware and never wants Pashtoons to be liberated from the craze of religion (which is a butter giving cow for Pakistan). This is the slogan which has made Pashtoons from both side of the border busy in its own genocide due to which Pakistan in between is enjoying reliefs and funds.
Regular interference of Pakistan in Afghanistan easily concludes that Pakistan is never in favor of a well-developed and peaceful Afghanistan which is a threat to its own geographical security. In case of a developed and peaceful Afghanistan, Pashtoons in Pakistan being a well developed nation (among neighbors) having a large number of educated and skilled people who are going to be the first preference in Afghanistan's development, can at any point realize that partition of Pashtoons was under the conspiracy of the British and rather than living with the Punjabis and other nations it should join its own historical country where along with Islam its own history, own language and own culture is still present. In the present situation, Pashtoons can be compared with a horse who reveals its energy on the judgment day and after realizing it bewails on its simplicity that in spite being so energetic it had been misused even by infants. Pakistani leadership is well aware of this energy and knows that if Pashtoons decide their separation from Pakistan and will to join their historical country, it will be impossible for Pakistan to keep Pashtoon with it anymore. Well developed Afghanistan will remain a threat to Pakistan's geography until a solution is found for the above mentioned chance.
These are the basic reasons preventing Pakistan to eliminate Taliban and the world is not ready to trust Pakistan's intensions. But, let us analyze this question (regardless to our thoughts and analysis); Military operation in Swat and Tribal areas will succeed or not?
In this regard we see Pakistani military operation failed in all means because they lack the support of locals and overall Pashtoon nation. This fact can be realized that when a nation's almost 3 million people have been displaced from their happy homes and the particular nation is still in the favor of the military operation. Regardless restrictions on media, the reports reaching from the affected areas are both against Pakistan and Taliban but if locals are asked to appoint one single enemy they will surely select Pakistani forces rather than Taliban (Pashtoon) to be much responsible for all disaster because the sin of Drone attacks is also counted in Pakistani forces and Taliban sins which has the willingness of Islamabad that can be a reason of incensement in Pakistani state sins. (Punjab's bombardment of Carpet Bombs over Pakistani Pashtoon and locals is not included in the debate)
Punjab and Sind's expression of hatredness against the Pashtoon refugees has been the fuel in the fire. Both Punjab and Sind had expressed straight to the point that they are unhappy with the arrivals of the Pashtoon refugees in fact they are protesting against it which is not a big deal but this act might force the Pashtoons to think that if Punjab and Sind can settle their own displaced people anywhere they want saying we all are Pakistanis and anyone can settle anywhere it doesn’t matters but the real fact of this Pakistanism appears when refugees of any other province turn toward them and they start screaming in fear of turning into minority but when this situation comes on other nations specially Baloch, they are named narrow minded and foreign agents.
Government or non-governmental related Pashtoon nationalists and religious forces will stand against the hatredness of Punjab and Sind against the Pashtoon which will strengthen the acute of the voices raised against the military operation increasing the public pressure causing suspension of military operation or reducing its intensity. This will allow Taliban to transfer its war from its homeland to the bigger cities of Punjab and Sind and emerge with new intensity, new experience and new tactics of disaster. Time will decide their then slogan. These are the punishments of the bad deeds of Pakistani leaders which will counter their selves first. These are the biggest threat to Pakistan establishment and the world today is finding a solution for this. These include the Islamic Nuclear Weapons, drugs, and religious extremists. This is the reason world's biggest assassins IMF and the World Bank hold the sword on the hanging head of the Pakistani state in order to permanently get rid of the begging slogans 'In the name of poor's', 'in the name of terrorism'.

Mach Jail- Deputy Superintendent’s Barbaric torture on Baloch Prisoners

Quetta: According to Daily Tawar [Balochistan’s National newspaper] and the family members of a prisoner Mir Maluk Marri Baloch the Deputy Jail superintendent named Tariq Mehmood tortures the Baloch prisoners in Mach Jail on racial grounds, using all the possible ways of mental and physical torture. Above all he is not allowing the family members to visit the prisoners inside because he fears that his inhuman and illegal actions will be exposed if the prisoners tell the visitors of the critical conditions of themselves and the torture at the hands of the superintendent.

According to the family members of Maluk Baloch the last time they were allowed to visit Maluk Marri he complained about the Jail administration and their racial behaviour toward Baloch prisoners, The family members have said that Maluk was beaten in front of them and dragged away from them while he was explaining the conditions he is facing inside. The family members and Maluk Baloch were abused on racial basis and were threatened of dire consequences if they leaked out the "inside story".

It should also be taken in consideration that similar kind of behaviour of the Deputy Superintendent was also exposed by Baloch Republican Party previously, which said that Dr. Aaqil Bugti Baloch and his friends are facing severe torture in Mach Jail and the cause behind this is the prejudice the Jail officials have about the Baloch, they believe Baloch to be American and Indian agents trying to destabilize the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, this kind of prejudices prevail throughout Pakistani Armed forces.

Mach Jail is an "official" place to keep the "Baloch" prisoners keeping aside the underground torture cells of Pakistan Army which cross the figure of 150 throughout Pakistan, and majority of the victims of these torture cells are Sons, Daughters, Children, and older people of Baloch Nation, being tortured for the core reason of being a Baloch and asking for the birth right of Independence.

All the political parties of Baloch working for the Independence of Balochistan and humanity recorded their consent for the torture victims around the world, particularly with the torture being carried out with Maluk and Aaqil Baloch in Mach Jail.

Baloch Students Organization (Azad) Mach zone in a press release stated that it seems hard to convince the human rights activists around the world that Baloch are human beings as well, they have rights as well but hope should always accompany every person working for humanitarian causes around the world and Baloch nation would not halt its freedom movement due to such tortures rather our believe in our cause gets stronger as we keep on hearing the barbarism of the occupiers of Balochistan.
