Express February 03, 2011

QUETTA: Balochistan High Court has issued notices on Thursday to provincial government on application of Shahzain Bugti and his brother Gohram Bugti against restriction imposed on their movement.

Shahzain and his brother have challenged the imposition of restriction by the Balochistan home department under article five of Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance (MPO). Their movement has been restricted to Quetta only under the MPO.

Balochistan High Court, Justice Ghulam Mustafa Mengal after preliminary hearing issued notices to the provincial Government for February 7 for filing their reply.

The court has also directed the government and the police for filing a written explanation for not allowing the family members of Shahzain to go to Dera Bugti.

Earlier, Bugti had been arrested when paramilitary troops recovered a huge quantity of arms and ammunition from his possession. After his release, he announced holding a long march for the rehabilitation of the people of Dera Bugti who were displaced during a military operation.

Shahzain had announced his decision to begin the long march at Dera Bugti after he was released from a Quetta jail. His aim is to seek the rehabilitation of Bugti tribesmen who were forced to leave Dera Bugti during the military operation against the late Nawab Akbar Bugti by the then president Pervez Musharraf.

nehal | 13 years ago | Reply @Lal Shahbaz: Dear brother.....you are supporting the products of a leader bugti who used to brag that he killed a man at the age of 12 years and use to bed wives of those whom he considered opponents.As far as Brahdagh bugti is considered soon you will hear wither he is assasinated or extradited from switzerland.As far as bodies of youth which are dumped on roads are concerned,they all are not learned scholars, but bandits or secret agents of bugti

Haris Khoso | 13 years ago | Reply Salaam, I Hope everything just goes Right for My Baloch Brothers & other Muslim Brothers Aameen. The Problem is We See things with Our Perspective, if I,m a Major I have My own way of Judging the Matter & a General has His Own Perspective. I can Never Judge & feel the Matter like a General Until I Become One, what that means is that We try to see & make Decisions on someone's Matter without knowing the Pure Reality ( not the One Heard ) & without evening Possessing the Knowledge of how to go about it. Its Easy to Hear & See that Army took Control of the Wealth of Balochistan from So & So Tribe, & declared this Wealth as being of Complete Pakistani, & We become Happy & say Of-Course it is, that is because Army hasn't Captured Our Property & By Allah When it Will We,l come to know How the Others were feeling. Most of Us dont have Sardari Nizaam & We know the Fact that they r Bilinear's most of Us Get Jealous & when knowing that they still need more We get more bothered by this thinking, & start saying so & so about them. If the Oil is Found in Ur territory No One's Father is the Owner, Except the Owner & it is His will what to Do with the Wealth, Period.... Allah Knows best wether Balochistan is or Isn't Part of Pakistan, We haven't seen any Documents otherwise so to Proof. & If it Was or it Isn't Army & Pak Gov should Sit & Talk with Actual Baloch Leaders ( not the Puppets ) & as Pak Gov has done alot with Baloch Brothers it should talk to them in a Manner that makes them Feel that Army / Pak Gov is Guilty on the Behalf of those people who did Wrong & should Come in Terms with the Baloch leaders except Balochistan leaving Pakistan, other than that ( The Property Belongs to Baloch & U giver Us a Package instead of Pak Gov giving them a Package ) it can Work out only When U give Real Respect. I,m a Baloch & live in Karachi & Love all Muslim Brothers but Definitely My Baloch Brother a More Near to Me but Natural.

Lal Shahbaz | 13 years ago | Reply @ nehal Wow havent you got the best plan ? Hahaha and i just love how he says that we should make a national federation of scientists and Geologists to exploit, note "Exploit" the mineral reserve, I guess he was'nt planning on using that particular term but it was just a slip, and hence giving us an Insight on his true agenda, And Im not even going to acknowledge his suggestion about a strong navy to protect Makran Coast ???? And that also for valid reasons ? This guy is good man like seriously good, I gotta give it to him for trying to act all like a normal average Joe and propagating the Army of Bakers and Estate Agents (According to one Indian General) actual aim. Zero tolerance has been the way from the very beginning, Hit us with something much harder I say. You kidnap our Energetic, Robust, Learned youth and dump their bullet riddled bodies on the roads. And as for Brahamdagh Bugti.... sorry mate he has reached Switzerland and already met with Kofi Annan and very soon Balochistan's issue will be high lighted and be given a platform for the whole world top know the Horrific Human Rights Abuses the Baloch nation suffers. Very soon pakistans actual Ugly, distorted and Horrific face will be revealed for the whole world to spit upon.

nehal | 13 years ago | Reply i urge the pak nation and media because i cannot make the politicians of pakistan understand this that the best way to handle balochistan solution is to 1)make a strong navy so that makran coast should be protected for valid reasons. 2)Make a national federation of scientists and geologists to exploit baloch mineral reserves.Give the local area people most share of the profits from reserve,pak Millitary should allocate a battalion or platoon to assist the local levies to protect the reserves.Police force should be given more freedom. 3)Zero tolerance should be maintained against any attatcks on police,army or migrants especially against baloch insurgents. 4)Joint working group with defence secretaries of iran and pakistan should be made as quickly as possible to chalk out ways of eliminating seperatism that has been financed and supported by enemies of both countries. 5)Federal govt. should increase the reservation of baloch students in national institutions. 6)Special task force should be launched by ISI to kill or capture Brahmdagh Bugti who has openly accepted the genocide of punjabis, sindhis and pakhtoons.
