QUETTA:


President of the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) Asma Jehangir said Balochistan’s situation has been deteriorating since the day security forces were given authority to make decisions for the province.


Addressing members of the Balochistan High Court Bar, Jahangir said Balochistan is in a relatively more dangerous position as compared to other provinces because international forces can strategically benefit from its geographical position. “Divisions have been created amongst people as sectarian killings, recoveries of mutilated bodies and target killing of Punjabi speaking people, frequently take place,” she said.

She was of the view that if Balochistan’s problems were not addressed on an immediate basis, the province will turn into an ideal piece of land for international forces to play their dirty game.

When you dont want to accept realties then you blame others, because your strategic asset are in afghanistan, you take pride in nuclear bomb, you love your army and ISI then you think everbody in world is against you, you never understood who is your asset who needs your love, who needs to be proud of, you never made your people strong, never thought your youth is strategic asset, never thought your asset lies inside the country your people are your pride, now you blame others for your mistakes.

Balochistan | 12 years ago | Reply Balochistan is almost at the point of no return with recovery of 100s of mutilated and tortured bodies of Baloch youth and elders and severe human rights violation by the intelligence and army make it further difficult to find out a political solution. APC today is rejected by NP and BNP of Balochistan. Furthermore blame game would neither benefit anyone nor hide the facts so please stop blaming foreign hands as its solely your fault. Let me make it clear to our Shia brothers that secular Baloch have never indulge in religious extremism, if Shias are being killed near Mastung that doesn't prove that killers are Baloch in anyway. We want the army to take strong action against these killers rather than torturing and killing innocent Baloch students.
