BALOCHISTAN-NEED FOR A CONSOLIDATED APPROACH

A.H AMIN

All roads lead to Rome.The Baloch need to have a constitutional cum pragmatic approach with the armed
struggle option open in the long run.

Firstly a need to liaise with anti mlitary junta forces in parliament aimed at activating Article Six against any
military usurper .This is a hard hitting mechanism which will hit the soft underbelly of the military junta.

Then take a stand on Gwadar declaring all allottments of land to non Balochistan domicile holders in Gwadar
illegal.Gwadar is the core issue for the delicate demographic balance in Balochistan will be turned against the
Baloch once non Baloch influx in a fully developed Gwadar starts.This again can be fone at Balochistan
Provincial assembly level and at National Assembly/Senate level.This will be a brilliant constitutional thrust .
More hard hitting than any rocket fired on a military usurper which is a sheer waste of money.From what we
saw of the man , he is not worth half the price of an obsolete 107 mm inaccurate rocket carried on an ancient
donkey of Jhal Magsi Jam or Jamali breed.

Third take a stand for a new constitutional formula like the West Pakistanis demanded against East Pakistan in
1954-55. A North-South 50-50 % Constitutional parity with Punjab-NWFP as North and Sindh-Balochistan as
South.This would balance the Pakistani Federation which is constitutionally lopsided against smaller
provinces since 1971.

Fourth ally with the Sindhi nationalists increasing the Baloch weight in the parliament.The Pashtuns are now
closer to Punjab than earlier and are junior Punjabis in their approach and by virtue of their strength in army civil
service and the bureaucracy.

Fifth initiate publications from USA and Europe which highlight atrocitise committed by law enforcement
agencies in Balochistan.

Lastly wait for the right time in history.As an ex soldier I have a sixth sense that USA will go for a change of
posture and Musharraf will be remembered as the man who did to Indo Pak Muslims what another man did in
1757 . My idea is that Pakistan will one day be on the US target list like Iraq and Iran.Its logical.Seen in a
straegic context Pakistan is the root of all evils for USA .my only concern is that the Americans are too naieve.
They lack strategic finnesse and their approach is very cheap and commercial.

If Pakistan is being sold by its so called guardians why have a Federation .Life goes on !
