Govt wants complete control of Baloch resources: Bugti
QUETTA, Dec 8 (Online): Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti, veteran Baloch nationalist and head of Jamhoori Watan Party has
declared that the government was preparing for a full scale military operation in Balochistan to have a complete control
of Baloch resources.
He stated this while talking to a group of journalists on telephone from the town of Dera Bugti on Thursday. He said that
the government and its ministers were making press statements that operation was going on against the terrorists,
dacoits and Farari (rebels) camps, but in fact it were all to cover the already launched military operations in different
areas of Balochistan. Bugti said that operation was already going on in the province in bits and pieces, but now the
government was making preparation for a full scale major one. He said that the on-going actions of para military forces
in Naushki, Kharan, Mustung, Mungochar and other parts of Balochistan was the series of this chain.
Nawab Bugti said that some 300 workers and activists Baloch parties and tribes of different tribes were arrested recently
while some 200 persons were arrested in the past who were languishing in torture cells. He said that these all efforts
were to eliminate workers and their political leadership and discourage the Baloch population in general so that they
could give up their national struggle for their rights and to have control over their own resources.
He said that in fact the purpose of grand operation and on-going small operation was to further firm Islamabad’s hold on
the resources of Baloch and eliminate the resistance, the people and the political parties were offering against its vested
interests. He said that the government’s loot and plunder of natural resources continued in Dera Bugti while plans were
there to do that in Kohlu and Gwadar. He said that Gwadar was planned to be made an international modern port with all
facilities and obviously like past Baloch would not get any thing from the revenue of the port and other projects. He said
that contrary to that they would be deprived of their land and be converted into minority by a mass influx of outsiders who
would permanently upset the demography of Balochistan thereby turning them into minority on our own homeland.
To a question, Baloch veteran nationalist said that the already existed gulf and mistrust between Islamabad and Baloch
people was widening day by day with the aggressive designs and actions of government and every body could
understand the repercussion and results of these actions.
When asked about the prevailing situation in Dera Bugti, the JWP leader said that there was build up of huge forces with
heavy weapons in the town and obviously it was not for any prosperity and development, but for operation. He said that
such preparations were made in March last and at that time the government and its ministers also kept harping that no
operation would be launched, but what happened later.
He said that his house were attacked with artillery shells and rockets and other modern weapons. He said that over 600
different kind shells were lobbed on different parts of his house guest room and sitting area and on Hindu Mohallah. He
said that over 60 people including 33 Hindus were martyred in the shelling. He said that heavy deployment of Rangers
was made in Dera Bugti district on the provincial border with Sindh and in some actions 50 to 60 innocent tribesmen
were arrested.
He said that FC officials and civil district officer threatened the Hindu community that the previous incident (of March, 17)
did not teach them any lesson and they should leave the area to save their lives as such incident could also happen in
future. He said that some Hindu families after official threats had also migrated from the district.
While commenting the claim of federal interior minister about the presence of Farari (rebel) camps, Nawab Akbar Bugti
said that the federal minister also identified one of these camps in the area of another federal minister belonging to
official PML in Shoran of district Bolan. He said now it was yet to be seen whether any action was to be taken against that
camp in the area of federal minister or not. He said that the government claimed that these Farari camps had the
patronage of Baloch nationalists, but if the statement of federal interior minister was correct than the Farari camp
established in the area government party’s federal minister, must have been set with his consent.
About a group arrested by Lahore police on the charges of bomb explosions, the JWP leader said that he got to know
through media that the people who were involved in the blasts in Punjab were purely Punjabis otherwise in past Baloch
were held responsible for such actions. He said that if the pure Punjabis started joining Baloch Liberation Army over the
decades long injustices, than it was happy augury as a common Punjabi started thinking in deep in this regard.
Otherwise, he declared, it was a government trick to harm Baloch cause.
