Pakistan, the Smokescreen of Punjab Where Nukes and Terrorists Are Exported!

Against the backdrop of a possible Indian intervention in Balochistan, Gen Raheel Sharif sent a clear message of threat to a number of audiences, saying “We are aware of our enemies, know their tactics and to spoil their designs we would go beyond even the last limit”, hinting the use of nuke against “enemies”.

But Before this, recently, Pak-based Jihadi terrorist, Hafiz Saeed, the chief of  Jamaat-ud-Dawah, directly conveyed Pakistan’s message to India and US in which he threatened both countries of dire consequences “if it continued to show aggression against Pakistan and let US aircraft to use its airbase, Islamabad would not hesitate to use nuclear bombs if New Delhi attacks”.

With the bogy of nuclear threat and Jihadi proxy wars Pakistan has hardly left a stone unturned in its nefarious designs to trouble India, Afghanistan, the US and NATO members. Pakistan has hijacked the peace and prosperity of the region with proxy wars just for the sake of Punjab's interests.

But in response to what is deterring India and America to take on Pakistan for a meaningful engagement against its supports to insurgents and terrorist attacks in India and Kabul is widely believed to be the paranoid of nuke threat that Pakistan possesses.

After the Modi’s historic speech at the ramparts of Red Port, in which Balochistan was mentioned, the question of Balochistan independence widely spiraled in Indian media that unnerved Punjabi establishment! And it quickly gained popular support from every section of Indian political society. Given the general public opinion in Indian social media regarding the support to Balochistan freedom movement, we can say so far so good! But Baloch intelligentsia is of the opinion that Baloch leadership must be taken on board with a holistic approach!

Now, before saying anything on Pakistani nuke threat, it is necessary to know that in fact, it is Punjab that is solely micro-managing entire Pakistani state affairs right from the Beginning through its armed forces, as Punjab is the Serbian character of the compressed chamber of so-called Pakistani federation.

The biggest question here is that: can the Punjabi Generals be stupid enough to risk its cities to be the targets of Indian nukes that Punjab rulers developed with looted natural resources of Baloch?  Now the point is that we Baloch didn’t have any enmity with India, it means our villages and hamlets cannot be the legitimate targets of Indian nukes! Thanks to Punjab-led Pakistani containment policy, Baloch didn’t build Dubai like skyscrapers in Balochistan.

However, In case sanity betrayed Punjab’s intelligentsia, India then can redefine its nuke doctrine along that line of above facts. That means India would have to train its nukes at Punjab’s major cities as prime targets in order to neutralize Pakistan nuclear threat; as it is a well-known fact that Taliban and Nukes together are Punjab’s strategic assets. Regarding the nukes, here I would like quote one of my close friends who often says that “the razor is in the hand of monkey”. It must be taken away from it before it is too late. It means the security screws must be tightened around Punjabi military establishment.

Why we insist that Pakistan is the smokescreen of Punjab? The two headed beast of Punjabi ultra-nationalism never allowed this unformatted country to become a genuine federal state. Punjabis apparently never formed a nationalist party in the name of Punjab interest; yet reclusively, they’re extremely ultra-nationalists regarding their hold over Pakistani state affairs and that ultra-nationalism is shrouded in the garb of Pakistani nation! They don’t trust other nationalities except themselves. Yet the Islam is the shield they use to draw legitimacy for the smokescreen of Punjab, called Pakistan. The same Islam is also used on the peripheries of Pakistan’s so-called ideological and geopolitical boundaries.

What are Punjab’s interests in case Pakistan broke into pieces? It would be the biggest loser! From Sindh It loses the access to Karachi commercial port for export and import. From KPK it loses the free hydroelectricity. From Balochistan it loses the natural gas that is running through the veins of its cities like blood and other precious mineral resources, including uranium and gold, besides military geostrategic depth. In return, what other provinces get from Punjab under its dominance? The answer is: they get nothing except death and destruction!

As the world knows that it is Punjabi dominated Pakistan’s army that has been calling the shots all along in all state affairs internally and externally! But the question is that what is the composition of Pakistan army?

According to Stephen P. Cohen (“The Idea of Pakistan”, Oxford University Press), around 70% of the army officers are from Punjab, 14% from former NWFP, 9% from Sindh, 3% from Baluchistan and 1.3% from Azad Kashmir. According to Cohen the ratio of Punjabi in the senior ranks has increased to more than 80%.

Now this Punjabi dominated army is engaged in a sinister war against humanity in Balochistan with blanket impunity committing Baloch genocide thereby contravening Geneva Convention. What is more, it is now no more a traditional army; it is now a jihadist army targeting Baloch, Afghan and Indian civilians. It is the moral obligation of civilized world to defang Punjab army threats by stripping off its nuclear arsenals.

The gangs of Jihadists that Pakistan army created in Balochistan and other parts of Pakistan are getting 70 billion annually as rewards to help contain Baloch and Pashtuns under abject poverty and provide legitimacy to Pakistan’s illegal existence in Balochistan and KPK since Zia era! Punjabi generals exploit religious sentiments in the name of holy wars as Jihad and use the religious fanatics for its nefarious designs in Afghanistan and India.

Almost every region of this globe, one way or another, has been affected by Punjabi led Pakistani terrorism. Holistically, it is the responsibility of all responsible nations to stop Punjabi generals from committing war crimes in Balochistan and its Jihadi wars in India and Afghanistan.

Empathically, we want the international community to understand the fact that Pakistan is committing Baloch genocide just because Baloch want to liberate their homeland from Pakistani occupation. Current Baloch leadership is extremely aware of the politics of the bargaining chip in the regional conflicts. Baloch don’t want to be a part of that, rather, they want to be a real partner in peace and prosperity as enjoyed by other nations of the world.

The secular Baloch have a logical case to present before international community for consideration. Baloch lost their sovereignty to British-backed Pakistani aggression in 1948.  We believe, if Balochistan, as a secular and democratic nation, was helped to regain its sovereignty, would be the antithesis of the universal concept of Jihadism of Islam and would radiate secular and democratic values in the region.

Afghan-Indian Relationship - Pakistan’s Jealousy!

By Archen Baloch

Balochistan - Today is Ramadan in many parts of Muslim world and all Muslims are supposed to be fasting including Pakistani Muslim. In Islamic teaching fasting doesn’t mean only abstaining from taking food and drinking water, but one has also to be as pious as a new born infant baby while fasting. By God decree he must also not tell a lie! But things in Pakistan are quite different. 

A top trending hashtag, #ProsperousBalochistan, is currently under way in Pakistani social media, in which everybody assumed it as a golden opportunity to excel in lying largely reflective of Pakistani state narratives with keywords, like #Gwadar, #CPEC #RAW #China #India #Balochi, #Afghan etc.

So what is the urge of launching such a diversionary campaign in social media against Baloch freedom struggle with a ridiculous hashtag of #ProsperousBalochistan in the first day of holy month Ramadan?

World knows how much Balochistan is prosperous but the fact is that Salma Dam project in Afghanistan has hit the nail on the head perfectly and gave a new impetus to Afghan-India relationship beyond Pakistan’s imaginations.

One of the tweets is extremely interesting: “#ProsperousBalochistan but enemies are not able to digest”. The poster in Urdu reads: “Pakistani army has started building 100 dams in Balochistan. That is why India has become Jealous”. “Baharat ko Merchen Kaese Nalagen. 

Reactionary to the core, Pakistan regards Indian and Afghan friendship as a nexus webbed around Balochistan freedom movement to destabilize Pakistan and the $290-million Salma Dam project’s inauguration on Saturday by Narendera Modi and Ashraf Gani has added fuel to Pakistani Jealousy all the more.

Balochistan freedom struggle is an indigenous movement. To Pakistani rulers especially Pujabi army, it is an insurgency incited by RAW to counterweight Kashmiri separatist movement. Ultra nationalistic whim of Punjabi domination never allowed Pakistan to become a true democratic state with devolved power bases. Baloch leadership on many occasions resigned to false hope that Pakistan one day may become a viable state that respects democracy. But alas, it never materialized! Rather, it adopted a Baloch Containment Policy that rendered Baloch to abject poverty.

finally, gauging Pakistani prosperous Balochistan let us seek help from somewhere else. Since Pakistan does not allow International media enter Balochistan and assess Pakistani brutalities and its Baloch Containment Policy to abject poverty, therefore, Baloch do not have any option other than to request #NASA to help them photograph entire Balochistan's landscape through powerful telescopes and find out that how many Californian skyscrapers, villas, commercial building, factories, universities, colleges, hotels or hospitals Pakistan has built in Balochistan since its occupation in 1948!   

                                                     

Irresponsible Pakistan! the Dirty Tactical Nuclear Bombs and its Hostility towards Afghanistan and India!

By Archen Baloch

It is extremely concerning that Pakistan is engaged in an impervious program of making portable tactical dirty Bomb for possible wars against its adversaries. Given Pakistan’s track record of broken promises to external and internal obligations, and above all, its nuclear know-how proliferation to maverick rogue states such as Iran, Libya and North Korea, anything sort of dirty can be expected of it when it comes to Punjab interests.  What is more, IS with billions of dollars as a potential client has already expressed its clear intention to buy nukes from Pakistani army officers.

As a victim of Pakistan’s belligerence, Afghan nation has every reason to be concerned for its security regarding Pakistan’s irresponsible nuclear program which is now a permanent danger to regional and  international peace, given the IS presence in the region.

If Pakistani drug smugglers can get their drugs across Europe and America without being detected than providing courier to small tactical and dirty nuclear bombs across continents isn’t a big issue for Pakistan’s crafty secret agency, ISI.

On 28th May 1998 Pakistan carried nuclear tests on Baloch soil without the consent of Baloch people. 17 years have passed since then, but Pakistan never allowed any independent international environmental organization to visit the test site and assess the radioactive level in the Chagai Mountain where people are suffering from different types of radioactive related diseases. That test site of Chaig is very close to Afghan border. As a signatory of NPT and a responsible member nation of UN, Afghanistan has an obligation to play its national role against nuclear race in South Asia!

Afghanistan’s geostrategic position is highly tempting for negative forces such as ISIS and Taliban currently active in some of the rogue countries of South Asia and the Middle East.  Given the violence of the geopolitics of the region and Pakistan’s tilt towards Iran under Chinese leadership, it is highly likely that Pakistan once again would resume the dirty work of nuclear proliferation – this time around not just the technology of centrifuges, but the ready-made portable small tactical bombs to Iran under the carpet.

Afghanistan as a signatory of NPT has an obligation to urge the international community to register Pakistan into Security Council’s bad book for nuclear proliferation crimes it has committed in flagrant breach of international laws on different accounts. Firstly, Pakistan carried out nuclear tests in Balochistan against the will of Baloch people, despite the vehement protest of Baloch leadership against the tests and Baloch became the first victims of Pakistani nuclear tests.  Secondly, Pakistan, itself a rogue country, has committed the crime of nuclear proliferation to rogue nations, like Iran, Libya, and N. Korea. Thirdly, Pakistan has sheltered international terrorist organizations and their leaders in utter violation of Security Council’s resolutions.  Fourthly, Pakistan is involved in proxy wars against India and Afghanistan with ample evidences enough to qualify Pakistan for international economic sanctions.

The International community must not be taken in by the notion that if Pakistan disintegrated, its WMD would fall into the hands of religious extremist forces. Pakistan’s nuclear weapons aren’t heirless; they solely belong to Punjab, as entire Pakistan is micromanaged by her politicians and generals.  And the WMD and Jihadi forces together are Punjab’s strategic assets.

It must be reminded that world community didn’t bother to bail out Soviet Union when it was near to collapse, though, in terms of WMD possession, it had the largest stockpile of nukes at that time. Punjab must be held responsible for any mishaps to these weapons. All screws of nuke responsibilities around Punjab must be tightened.

Pakistan is anything but a state, it is a smokescreen of Punjab where everything is sold, from fake degrees to nuclear weapons, from Jihad to opium drug; you just name it.

The International community should not treat Pakistan as a holistic state entity; rather, it should be looked upon as a bunch of contrasting elements. As all its components are centrifugal, compressed into an entity called Pakistan by ultra-nationalist Punjabi generals serving their own national interests at the cost of peace and integrity of other nations under its domination.

Finally, Pakistan as an irresponsible state must be forced to surrender its nuclear weapons to international custody as it has forfeited its right to be regarded as a viable member state of United States.

Balochistan: Baloch mother dies of delivery complication as military didn’t allow her for treatment

ZARREN BUG – A young Baloch mother died of maternal complications after the Pakistan army did not let her pass a military check post to go for treatment in Turbat town of Balochistan Tuesday last week.

According to detail 18-year-old pregnant Moona Assa died a tragic death at her home on early hours of Tuesday last week as result of delivery complication when Pakistan Army at Zarren Bug check post didn’t allow her and other members of her family to go to Turbat city to seek maternal Clinic care.

The unfortunate Moona was to travel 120 km to reach to Turbat city from her village Dasht Hor to seek medical care in a private hospital because she was suffering from a premature membranes rupture.

The family member contacted by this ascribe said they pleaded with Pakistan army at Zarren Bug check-post for tow hours that they be allowed to seek medical care but the army adamantly did not allow them to pass through check post and the delivery complication worsened.

Ms Moona and her family was forced to returned back to their village, Dasht Hor, which lacks medical facilities. She died shortly after reaching home.

On the morning of 6, January, 2005 women from different villages of Dasht sub district gathered at Zarren Bug check post and demanded that Pakistan army must remove its check posts from Dasht areas.

One protester on condition of anonymity said, “This check post has already cost us life of two innocent souls and it is creating further complications for people of the area. We demand from the military to immediately left this official embargo around Zarren Bug.”

It is worth mentioning here that within 120km vicinity of sub-district Dasht, Kech, there is no maternity clinical facility to help ease the birth complications.
