abdullah kayani | 14 years ago | Reply i think so the ppl of balochistan should be educated as well it is the government responsibiity .we should help them in education as much as we can ......lets not forget that punjabis were illiterate to 50 years back but they kept on trying and provided bst education to ther children..the govt will have to do alot in education .....giving few jobs in army will not help balochistan grow the same as other provinces r growing up..a proper strategy is required

saeed ahmad | 14 years ago | Reply This is a welcome move and deeply appreciable... One only wishes that provincial and federal gvernmstns also take concrete steps to ensure the prosperity and progress at grassroots levels in Baluchistan. Baloch are a courageous, honest and upright citizens of this country. They deserve better treatment at the hands of state.

Pakistani | 14 years ago | Reply @ Dahag the Bharati Baluchistan is the integral part of Pakistan and it is unseperable. You better work for the development of your country instead saying stupid rants about Baluchistan province. @ Rehan the supposed Baluchi Bro if you are a baluchi. Let me make one thing clear. Baluchistan is the integral part and province of Pakistan and this irrevocable. Baluchistan isn't going any where so accept the reality and join us to fight and work for the development of this country and your province if you are Baluchi. By the way among these 4000 recruits a huge number belongs to Baloch Pakistanis. The parade was lead by Kamran Megal a Baloch Pakistani. So accept the reality and stop making stupid guesses. @Pak Army Great Pak Army. We are indeed proud of you.

Engr. Nasir Jamal | 14 years ago | Reply People from other provinces must also been given their due share in the Army. It should not be limited to Balochistan only.

Ghazain Baloch | 14 years ago | Reply That is wonderful,More balochs should join Pakistan army. we balochs love this country to death and only 'few' are hell bent in stealing harmony of Pakistan and sadly these 'few' happen to be from BLA or are religious fanatics like Taliban. Pakistan zindabad

Pakistani born in Europe.... | 14 years ago | Reply Wht r u ppl talking about. You are a traitor talking about Baloch army BLA and all that. Either you are Pakistani And you love Pakistan or you are a traitor who has fallen into the trap of the american agenda. Dividig Pakistan into ethnic sections and then controll all. Its because of people like you that pakistan is where it is today. You are just like the elite politicians in government today. Same method of thinking. Think of Pakistan not yourselves! And Love Pakistan!!!

mairaj | 14 years ago | Reply anti pak baloch, im balochi and extremely happy. Yes, there is anger but its not to the level or ever will be to that of kashmiris in india, if there are balochs who want independence its in thousands and not in millions. I blame our provincial govt for not doing enough, seriously, punjab and karachi in pakiland didnt start off with anything but raced ahead. Lets educate our people first instead of relying on feudal lorda--which is very rampant in balochistan--for everything!

faraz | 14 years ago | Reply I wish he had done this in 1948

dahag | 14 years ago | Reply pakistan trying to make fool the world by doing such tactics and showing Pashtoon, Hazara, panjabi and other people who might joined Pakistan army but Baloch did and will not join pakistan army. if any baloch want to join army then baloch have its own army in the shape of BLA, BLF, BRA. Baloch whose country is occupied by pakistan how can join the pakistan army in this time when the entire nation is fighting with paki for their freedom......?????
