Balochis Raise Star And The Crescent Despite Terrorist Warnings

PESHAWAR, Pakistan—The BLA terrorists supported by foreign powers in Afghanistan have forced patriotic Pakistani Balochis to remove Pakistan’s flag in some areas of southwestern Pakistan.  The terrorists of Akbar Bugti and his Kabul-based grandson Brahamdagh threaten the people of elimination if they wave the Pakistani flag on the nation’s 62^nd Independence Day.  But patriotic Pakistanis in Balochistan are waving the Green and the Crescent despite BLA threats to their lives.  This is slap from the people of Balochistan on the face of these terrorists

The national flag flies on a laborer’s handcart, as he transports fruit to the market in Quetta, the provincial capital of Balochistan, where separatist groups have waged a bloody insurgency in recent years.  Pakistan celebrates its 62^nd Independence Day on August 14 (Friday) with traditional zeal and fervor.  (APP)

Quaid-e-Azam’s Words Live On, Not Brahamdagh Bugti’s

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—“Pakistan is in sight and Balochistan will be a part of it,” said Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah’s on May 20, 1947, three months before Pakistan’s independence from Britain.

“Pakistan’s strength lies in unity, whatever the cost of our bread and butter, we share it.”  That is how the Baloch express their love to people of the twin cities.

The Baloch are strong patriots of Pakistan. They remember the June 29, 1947 brief of the Assistant Governor-General on referendum, which said:

“Shahi Jirga met with elected members of Quetta Municipality … The present members voted unanimously for Pakistan.”

The elders in Pakistan’s Balochistan stress that is how a British-occupied Balochistan with British-appointed tribal sardars became free and chose to be a part of Pakistan.  In March 1948 the Khan of Kalat, Ahmad Yar Khan and his confederate chiefs, acceded to Independent Pakistan.

This federation of Pakistan shall stay forever despite foreign intrigues.
Quaid-e-Azam is not with us today but his words live on.

Balochistan is Pakistani soil and will remain so.  We will not let the enemy make use of the imbecilities of the previous Pakistani quasi-democratic governments. The enemies of Pakistan, the Indians and those who are supporting them, have revived Soviet-era terror groups in the area for the consummation of their despicable designs.

The enemies are using the same tactic as the British imperialists did in the past by retaining tribal chiefs and paying them.  Does any one of you Pakistanis believe that the major powers around Pakistan and the self-styled champions of democracy will like to see Pakistan strengthen its economy and defense in the global village?

Never.

The Indian-backed Harbyar Marri is conspiring to declare the independence of Balochistan on 11 August 2009 and anti-Pakistan countries are planning to publicly accepting it.  The propaganda is on its peak.  We warn these elements to stay away from our homeland.

We are also watching our government in this case.  If it fails to defend Pakistan’s interests, Pakistanis will rise for the protection of Pakistan.
