Pakistan is disintegrating
By Justice Markandey Katju
Pakistan, that fake, artificial entity (I refuse to call it a country),
created by a British swindle in 1947 on the basis of the bogus two-nation theory, is
disintegrating, as was inevitable.
After secession of Bangladesh, Balochistan will be the next region to secede from Pakistan.
This secession is not yet complete, but the process has begun, and is
gaining momentum daily. Mentally the Balochs have already seceded en masse from
Pakistan, because for decades terrible atrocities were committed on them by the
Pakistan army, which brutally beat, murdered or 'disappeared' hundreds of
thousands of Balochs.
Balochistan is rich in natural resources like gold, gas, oil, copper
etc. These should have been used for the welfare of Balochs, but instead they
were taken away by ravenous Punjabi businessmen, who behaved like wolves, while
the Balochs were kept in abject poverty. And now these resources have been
handed over by the Pakistan govt to the Chinese vultures.
No wonder that the Balochs, who have created the Balochistan Liberation
Army, are up in arms.
Even Baloch women, led by Mahrang Baloch have risen up in revolt, and they are out on the streets holding massive demonstrations.
Long live the Baloch people !
Long live the Balochistan Liberation Army !
Long live Mahrang Baloch and the brave women of Balochistan !
