@enu: Long Live Baluchistan
@Mental Bhugti
According to your logic, Punjab and sind should their water, use it and then sell the remaining to baluchistan on international prices. KPK should stop the electricity first use it and remaining should be sold to Baluchistan on international price.
In India, there is noo one tribe that can oppress the other.In that case, UP should have oppressed the whole of India?.Sikkim has the same rights as Goa as the same rights as UP-In fact-In India-the smaller states outperform the larger states in all indices of living, and here we see that Punjab(Scythian Migrants calling themselves Punjabi and adopting the language), oppressing the poorest people in their country.Its a simple concept called "Ethics", something Arab Followers seem to lack, but at the end of the day, Pagans(The Oldest People) on the planet are wrong, you know better, right?.
Just drone these lawless anti state elements.
The cause of this explosion was a gas leak. Sorry to have spoilt the party of the Baluch dissidents commenting on this article from their comfortable exile.
By the way what are the security agencies doing. We spend about 30% of our budget on them. I guess we should be spending more (?!)
our country is at the mercy of talibans and baloch liberation armies. further we see criminal elements getting stronger as ever.and what we are doing is collecting dead bodies and giving compensations. action with iron hand is the only option left.
And Pakistan wants India to depend on this kind of gas lines to supply power to our industrial sector. You guys can hardly protect the lines running through your sovereign territory and you believe the extremists in your midst will allow export of gas to India using these same lines. You have way too much faith invested in God.
The final balochistan war is well underway.. there are women marchers walking across the country for news of their missing loved ones, there are rebels blowing up pipes sucking out what is theirs, separatists fighting the annexers, and withered old men calling out to the international community for help who after having spent their lives for their land have given up on pakistan ever changing its ways.
Hello bangladesh 2. My well wishes to the Baloch. From a Punjabi.
Punjab should stop consuming gas meant for Balochistan or else these incidents will keep happening. Today Punjab is developed at the expense of Baluchistan. We don't have electricity in most of our areas while Punjab enjoys almost all areas with electric connections. Punjabi army is literally ruling Baluchistan with severe human rights violations occurring against our youth.
waisay hee gas nahee hai
It's sad that balochistan doesn't have electricity in most of its areas. Why does the Pakistani government doesn't understand that first gas must be for balochistan for generating electricity the remaining gas if any should be sold to Punjab at international price. Baluchistan is the poorest province of Pakistan because our natural resources are looted away by the state of Pakistan in the name of development of Punjab.
