February 24, 2011

ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Rehman Malik on Thursday claimed that a new conspiracy is being hatched in Afghanistan to deteriorate law and order situation in the province of Balochistan.

Addressing the National Assembly's (NA) session, Malik said directions are being initiated from Afghanistan to propel these conspiracies.

He said he would take up the issue with the Afghan president and to share the information of Pakistan’s intelligence agencies on the five-man task force with the Afghan officials.

The interior minister said the issue of international forces creating unrest in Balochistan has been taken to the international community several times.

He also pointed out that Bramdagh Bugti, a leader of Baloch Republican Party fled to Switzerland to seek political asylum due to the government’s efforts.

So far he was accusing only India with secret evidence, now he accuses "International forces". The world would like to know who they are, suspense is killing. Balochistan people are saying that it is PAK army creating problem, and Kayani was addressing them last week that PAK army will go back to barracks, soon. One more conspiracy, why not?

If pakistan cant handle balochistan,cant run a stable government,cant live without intervention of army in its internal affairs why it was formed out of india?? why cant it come back to table and merge back to india.

Modasar | 13 years ago | Reply What is the difference between Balochistan and Afghanistan? NOTHING they are both backward destoryed land by its own people and pakistan should have done better to balochistan because it is our land but whoever came in power they never help them or create any industry in balochistan to help its people but they grapped all money and goto West and settle there and left their country to destory either it was Bhutto family,Zardar,Nawaz,Musharraf they all did the same...who is next?? We miss Jinnah!!!

Lal Shahbaz | 13 years ago | Reply Its about time pakistan brings the evidence for the world to see, that is if there is any evidence. Pakistan's favorite time pass is to blame its neighbors, thats all it can do

TightDhoti | 13 years ago | Reply Where is the infamous evidence that you were going to share?

inderjit sahota | 13 years ago | Reply There was a bollywood movie in the `70s,called roti,kapdda aur makan. It was true then as it is now. It is no use blaming others,Mailk and his ilk are too blind even to see this. Introduce,internal democracy and promote on ability. Give a people a voice. People of south asia are doomed because the bhuttos ,the ghandis, and others think they have a right to rule,perhaps they should cast an eye to west asia

anil | 13 years ago | Reply Excellent, now Pakistan should realize what it feels like meddling in other's affairs. Remember Jammu & Kashmir/ Indian Punjab and Afghanistan. But something tells me that Pakistanis will never realize their follies and blame it all on conspiracy (accross the border of course)

J Oberoi | 13 years ago | Reply What happened to India? Why has Rehman Malik stopped blaming India for the trouble brewing in Balochistan? It was obvious that he was fabricating stories as a way of retaliating against India's allegations on Pakistan over the Mumbai attacks.

Khalid Rahim | 13 years ago | Reply Dear Malik Sahib, We have been hearing you since you took the charge of National Security of threats from Afghanistan against Baluchistan, but what have you done to prevent this disaster! Have you ever crossed a rushing stream with stepping stones, if so, then you would know the difference between stumbling blocks and stepping stones and how to use them.

Aamir | 13 years ago | Reply Too little too late. Baluchistan is was and being neglected and no efforts are being made in right spirit to resolve their issues. We should be ready for further breakup of beloved country since current rulers are too slow on all matters.

Ding-Dong | 13 years ago | Reply What goes around, comes around. Pakistan looked at Afghanistan as their own backyard and did all sorts of insidious things there. Now the Afghans are doing the same to Pakistan. Moral of the story: Mind your own business.
