Army operation in Marri and Bugti area of Balochistan 86 killed 100’s wounded

Please visit this blog for more information and latest news on the Pakistan Army operations in Balochistan

Musharraf promoted the Rapist Army Captain to humiliate Balochistan!

According a Jang, Pakistan's leading newspaper, Army is attempting to humiliate Balochistan and its people by promoting the army captain who raped the Lady Doctor Dr. Shazia Khalid at Sui Gas plant in Balochistan.

Instead of punishing the rapist, President Pervez Musharraf promoted the culprit and sent an uncompromising response: tanks, helicopters and an extra 4,500 soldiers to guard the Sui installation. Earlier, he warned on television, "they [Baloch tribesmen] will not know what hit them". But the guerrilla attacks have escalated, propelling a long-ignored province into the headlines and threatening civil war.

The Bugti leader, Nawab Akbar Bugti, says the question of Dr Shazia's rape comes first. "As long as the perpetrators of this heinous crime are not dealt with, there can be no talks," he said.

Pakistan Army currently providing just 4 Helis to help quake victims in Kashmir but is using 24 helicopters to attack its own Bloch countrymen!!

According to an unanmed diploamtic source in Belgium, Paksitan Army has recently attacked Blochistan with more than 2 dozen helicopters including the latest Amrican cobras and a few Mirage fighter planes, raining missiles, bombs and bullets on the scared bloch families with women and children.

Army does not care for either Pakistan or Muslim world, but only aims to perpetuate itself. The same Army that never won a war against an external enemy is at its lethal best when attacking its own innocent citizens. That explains why PA did not spare even 5 helis to save quake victims but can bring fighterplans and dozens of helis to kill innocent.

Pakistan's Mega-Genocide -- A Docudrama

There are a number of International, bangladeshi, Indian (After all they were involved too in a very partisan manner) and even pakistan sources, that accept that betweenone and three million Bangla Muslims and Muslims were killed be West pakistani in their effort to suppress the freedom movement.

Pakistan can not become a great nation, unless its leadership acknowledges, repents and vows never to repeat the 1971 Genocide.

Excerpt from another blog:

Leading up to 1971, East Pakistan had been working politically and nonviolently toward independence from West Pakistan, almost a thousand miles away. It was on the verge of success after Pakistan’s 1969 national election, when the Bengali Awami League gained an absolute majority in the national legislature.However, the ruling generals of Pakistan were absolutely opposed to East Pakistan gaining independence, so in 1971 General Agha Mohammed Yahya Khan, the self appointed president of Pakistan and commander-in chief of the army and his top generals, prepared a careful and systematic military operation against East Pakistan.

They planned to murder that country’s Bengali intellectual, cultural, and political elite. To reiterate what is hard to believe, at the highest level of this regime, the rulers planned, prepared, and executed the cold-blooded murder of the best and brightest Bengalis in East Pakistan, and murdered indiscriminately many of its Hindus, driving the rest into India. This despicable and cutthroat plan was outright genocide.

Balochistan, a Bangladesh in the making??

http://www.tribuneindia.com/2005/20051230/world.htm#2

Balochistan, a Bangladesh in the making by Rajeev SharmaOn December 14, Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf visited Balochistan in his capacity as chief of the armed forces of Pakistan. The two places he visited — the capital of Balochistan, Quetta, and the oil and gas-rich Baloch-dominated township, Kohlu — made news for the wrong reasons. At both these places, assassination attempts were made on him.

Soon after the General’s visit, the Pakistan military forces launched yet another massive operation in Balochistan, targeted at the Marri tribes, who are up in arms against the denial of basic civic amenities even five decades after Pakistan was born. Helicopter gun ships and jet fighters are pounding what Islamabad terms as rebel positions in the area. There is a virtual blackout of news. Unofficial reports put the death toll at over 200. Reports speak of food shortages, spread of diseases, and non- supply of water and electricity in the ‘operations’ zone. Pakistan’s Interior Minister Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpo declared on December 27 that the government would not relent.

This is the fourth outbreak of violence, officially called rebellion, since the creation of Pakistan in 1947. Phrases like “national movement”, “azadi” and “injustice” are being liberally used by Baloch people. There are frequent references to the similarities between present-day Balochistan and pre-liberation Bangladesh. “Warnings from a Baloch leader similar to what my fellow Bengali journalists gave me in the late sixties of the situation in then East Pakistan now keep reverberating in my ears”, Shamsul Hasan wrote in ‘The Nation’ on December 23, 2005.

Are Balochs and Shias not Muslim??

The latest news is that the intelligence agencies have unearthed a plot by Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and Sipah Sahaba to use suicide bombers to kill Shia members of the legislative council of the Northern Areas.

It is clear that preparations are being made for another bout of sectarian attacks. On Monday, a Sunni cleric from Multan was gunned down in Karachi to avenge the murder of a Shia cleric in Balochistan a day earlier.

The entire country has become linked in a network of terrorism which now boasts Al Qaeda-style suicide-bombing. If you look at the map of the country, the territories under challenge comprise the Northern Areas, the North and South Waziristan Agencies in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and all of Balochistan, the largest province comprising 40 percent of Pakistan’s territory.

One can easily say that half of Pakistan is in the grip of people whose way of life is violence. And who is responsible for this if not the government which has been unable to tackle the problems that give rise to this violence?

The biggest mess is in Gilgit, the administrative centre of the Northern Areas. And the mess dates back to the army’s decision to deploy an extremist anti-Shia Lashkar-e-Tayba during the Kargil Operation of 1999 in tandem with regular troops.

Army was also not able to prevent the target-killing of prominent Shia leaders, which enlisted the sectarian emotion of the entire community in the country.

Honour Killing Continue Unabated - Perverted religion

http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2005%5C12%5C30%5Cstory_30-12-2005_pg7_45

MULTAN: Nazir Ahmed appears calm and unrepentant as he recounts how he slit the throats of his three young daughters and their 25-year old stepsister to salvage his family’s “honour” - a crime that shocked Pakistan.

The 40-year old laborer, speaking to The Associated Press in police detention as he was being shifted to jail, confessed to just one regret - that he didn’t murder the stepsister’s alleged lover too.

I can't believe it is part of true Islam. but I can't understand why honour killing is most prevalent in those who professes to be the true followers of Islam.

Want to be in Pakistan Cricket Team - Convert to muslim

The trends are very clear: Yunus Youhana (Christian( became a muslim, Dinesh Kaneria (Hindu) Changed his name to Danish(a muslim name).

Rumours that he converted to boost his chances of becoming captain refuse to go away. Many in Pakistan’s Christian community feel that a non-Muslim would never become captain of the national team and the player’s conversion was more of a career rather than personal decision.

Christians in Pak demand security of churches

Christians in Pak demand security of churches - 01 Jan 2006

Islamabad: The Christian community in Pakistan has demanded the federal government to provide security to the churches and other religious places belonging to the minority community following increased harassment by fanatics.

Leaders of the Christian community appealed to Pakistan President General Parvez Musharraf, and Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz to take concrete steps for the security of the community members and especially the holy places so that they could perform their religious rituals with peace.

They said that the situation had come to such a pass that many did not step out of their homes and go to the churches for prayers due to fear of attacks, reports The Nation. As such the federal government should try to ensure the safety and security of the members of the Christian community. “Most of the people stay at home and avoid going to churches for prayers due to fear of attacks,” said a community leader, adding that on the occasion of Christmas celebrations in Taxila, some miscreants tried to put explosive material at Christian Hospital Chapel.

Pak Hindu girls 'converted' to Islam -Hasan Mansoor

An alarming trend — of Muslims kidnapping Pakistani Hindu girls and forcing them to convert to Islam

Recently, at least 19 such abduction cases have occurred in Karachi alone, while several others have been reported in the media.

Sanao Menghwar, a Hindu resident of Karachi’s Punjab Colony, is a traumatised man; all three of his daughters —Aishwarya, Reena and Reema — have been kidnapped and forced to convert to Islam.In the police complaint that he filed at the behest of the Panchayat after two days of futile searching for his daughters, he stated that when he and his wife returned home from work, they discovered their daughters had gone missing.The police arrested three Muslim youths in connection with the crime, who were later granted bail by a court because they’re minors. Menghwar’s daughters continue to remain missing. “Kidnapping Hindu girls like this has become a normal practice.

The girls are then forced to sign stamp papers stating that they’ve become Muslims,” says Laljee Menghwar, a member of the Hindu Panchayat in Karachi. According to him, the Pakistani government needs to examine and put a stop to the social oppression of religious minorities in the country. “Hindus here are too frightened to vent their anger — they fear victimisation. But we have now decided to go public with these cases and demand justice,” Laljee says.

Their cause has found support in the Pakistani Christian community, who carried out a demonstration with them in Karachi, protesting against this crime.Similarly startling incidents have occurred in several districts of Sindh and evoked identical responses. At least six Hindu girls met this fate a few months ago in Jacobabad (a tribal area heavily inhabited by Hindus) and Larkana districts.
