QUETTA: Around 121 insurgent training camps were operating in Balochistan and 30 in Afghanistan, which are contributing to unrest in the province, Inspector-General (IG) Frontier Corps (FC) Major General Ubaidullah Khan told the media on Saturday.
Addressing a press conference in Quetta, Khan claimed that the camps are being operated by Harbiyar Marri, Brahamdag Bugti, Allah Nazar and Javed Mengal, and are running concerted campaigns to defame state institutions.
Brahamdagh Bugti is the leader of Balochistan Republican Party (BRP) and Harbiyar Marri of Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) – both are accused of fueling insurgency in the violence plagued province.
Khan added that if the government tries its hard, these camps can be eliminated.
The FC and other security agencies though too have been blamed for some of the violence in the province. The IG was summoned by the Supreme Court recently to explain the role of FC in the case of missing persons.

Now, explain it in the Court Mr IGFC.

And why does he not say all this infront of the CJ infront of whom he is refusing to appear?

I knew it!
This is a big conspiracy to destabilize Pakistan by Baloch sardars paid by Afghan backstabbers who are paid by Indian pagan agents who are paid by American CIA spies who are paid by Israeli yahoodi Zionists.
The Jews were behind it all along. If anyone can disprove what I said I will shave off my beard and promise to stop disparaging Veena Malik on all articles on ET.

We ought to blame no one but our own myopic leadership for the mess and the creation of faultlines by alienating the People of Balochistan.

“are running concerted campaigns to defame state institutions.”
Right from the ISPR handbook.

Bollywood movies were found in one of the camps. That proves the Indian RAW hand in it.

No matter how many camps these terrorists have in the end they will fail.
On a side note, notice this indian troll Imran Con is always one of the first people to leave his trolling comments no matter what time of the day, I mean even as a Pakistani myself I’m not as obsessed with my country as these indian trolls are obsessed with Pakistan.

Why not CJ takes notice on these camps and their supporters who are responsible for unrest in Baluchistan.
Recommend
MR. CJ! Here is IG-FC you had summoned, and look he is alive and well. Its just a mere fact that he was too busy in state affairs that he was not able to appear before you. and excuse me sir. “Afghanistan creating unrest??? what we have been doing in Afghanistan for past several years? Planting trees?
@Batman! This is an open forum. and I think comments from every where are welcomed here(I think thats the case Mr. Moderator) and one another thing, not only indians but the whole world have now become obsessed with Pakistan, due to our deeds and our past lies.

Gen khattak is talking like DG ISI with all the info available even from across the border,,time to save his face before he is summoned in the APEX court of CJ.
can anyone ask him,,what all measures he has taken for controlling the deteriorating law and order situation in the city,,okay give him a margin that quetta city is bigger than liyari in karachi,,,what he got when his own DIG was targeted with wife killed????what did he do to save even his own men?????all the answers will be just bluffing the people coz nothing has been and will be done by these stage actors…..

Eliminate all those who even think of damaging Pakistan by any means. That’s the only remedy. No talks with traitors.

@point blank, no, I don’t even visit a single indian website let alone troll there.

If this smarty knows the exact number of camps , then surely he must know their location. If so ans instead of doing a press conference he should do his real job. Go and shut down theses camps and stop being a drama queen.

IG FC has discovered these 160camps. Good Luck. The same old story we had in East Pakistan. What happened at the end is no secret too. By then There was little bit sympathy, Pakisgtan enjoyed. Today no one is on her side.
Recommend
This is the first time a senior person in Law Enforcement Agency is admitting to the presence of these “factories” that mass-produce terrorists.
Next logical step would be to shut them down.
But are the Pakistani Armed Forces willing & capable to wipe out this self-created decease? I don’t think they are neither willing nor capable because the rogue elements in ISI treat them as assets to create problems in India, Afghanistan and in Pakistan itself!

mr chief justice will take action , let him finish the business of destroying PPP ,the Indian American Jewish state sponsored foreign political party

@Zaid Hamid: you forgot to mention it is a conspiracy against pakistan by Starbucks , KFC, and McDonalds – it is because of people like you that Pakistan is the laughing stock of the world

This does not come as a shock, Balochistan has become a whole different terrain in the last decade or so. The land is now part of the same terrorist quagmire as FATA & Afghanistan.
Recommend
Then why are you sitting there so complacently ,,,
Take action !!!
Recommend
Why he is not appearing before the CJ & take action against the camps operating in Bolochistan? This should be properly investigated by GOB & if found incompetent, he should be dismissed.
Recommend
Now let’s hear about the number of training camps in FATA run by strategic “Assets” of the state!
Recommend
Did he count them correctly ? He says 121 insurgent camps in Baluchistan. how did he count them ?
Recommend
There are lessons in this for India. We in India should wait to see what Pakistan will do with the camps in Afghanistan. If Pakistan succeeds in shutting them down, we in India should do exactly the same thing to shut down terrorist training camps in Pakistan and POK.
As for the Indian obsession with Pakistan, readers may like to take another look at an editorial in The Express Tribune. It was called “Language of hate”, May 29, 2012. The following is an extract from it: “Pakistan’s obsession with India is tearing apart the basic fabric of the former’s society, leading to a self-destructive phase.”
Recommend
IG FC should present these facts to the Chief Justice. And Pak authorities should take the matter up with the NATO and the Afghan authorities. Pak should tell NATO that this is happening under their supervision. My guess is that NATO and Karzai are using these terrorists as a bargaining chip so that Pak can be coerced into attacking N. Wazirstan. Pakistan is becoming a perfect scapegoat for the mess in Afghanistan. At the same time, Pak needs to realize that Taliban are also their real enemies.
Recommend
@ V.C. Bhutani. Pakistan is not a Afghanistan. Our armed forces are capable of defending ourselves. If you try to intervene, we will teach you a lesson. You should remember that we shot down two of your planes within minutes of them entering our airspace in 1999.
Also, I assure you that Indian Occupied Kashmir will also rise up against you if you do something that stupid.
Recommend
I Wonder if he believes that people are going to believe him?. when he can sit in the SC, watch the CCTV footage of his men kidnapping people in broad daylight, taking then away in FC’s vehicles and he had the guts to deny it outright.Recommend
Pakistanis will never learn. How India penetrated in East Pakistan,how they trained Mukibahni in west Bengal camps. In the end gave them full Indian military power to defeat and surrender .Now they have started new agenda to disintegrate Pakistan through Balochistan.Most of the missing people you will find in the training camps of Afghanistan.
Only action Pakistan can do is lease the Dossai planes to China let them make base for the largest air and missile base to Keep India under Check.Recommend
nice: the shoe is on the other foot !

And when FC does take action against these camps, it is once again the flip-flop liberals who spread the propaganda that innocent people are being killed or missing persons is a result of state oppression. Due to lack of military action in Balochistan, we have this situation today.

@Salman:
If these ‘insurgent camps’ are created by India, they should be as forcefully destroyed ! All of us Indians would support such action.
Actually India is Pakistan’s only genuine friend. We, including myself, have deep affection for Pakistanis. We fully agree with your ex-PM sahib Nawaz Sharif, a real Statesman, who said Pakistan should stop considring India as its enemy.
Hope there are more Statesmen like him in Pakistan to bring us together.
But for that, Pakistanis should elect him again as their PM so that he clips all unconstitutional powers of your Armed Forces, which no one gave them but which they just usurped!
Wake up, Salmansahib. Learn to spot your friends!Recommend
