Pakistan is passing through an era consists of political instability, economic collapse, internal disturbances, foreign invasions and institutional imbalances. The state is in chaotic situation. The overall state of country is in deep despair and disarray. The situation demands to form a unity to redress the affairs of crippling state. The all political and military leadership has huge burden in their shoulders to prevent the state from total anarchy and despotism.
The growing unrest in Balochistan has created serious bottlenecks for the country. Balochistan constituents half of Pakistan and if it is taken out of equation the state would soon fall into its footings. Pakistan might have survived the separation of Bengal but it wont afford the break up of Balochistan from federation. Its a rich province full of natural resources i.e Gas, Gold, Platinum, coal, copper and one of the longest coastal belt.
The history is evident that Balochs have been always mistreated, killed , kidnapped and targeted on fearful perception of being them disloyal and rebellion. Had any lesson taken from history of our former British masters who maintained that Balochs should always be treated with utmost respect then situation wont have reached at existing levels.
Balochistan has faced innumerable military operations since independence. The loyal sons in likes of Nauroz, asad mengal, Nawab Akbar Bugti, and countless people have been murdered on false accounts and promises. One can't negate the reaction of Balochs in return because if you send weapons you wont be given roses in return. The Balochs have assumed the role of warriors and they are in mountains to fight for their cause and by doing this the endless war of bloodshed and insurgency has actually taken its course. Once peaceful Balochistan is surrounded with unholy war of wants and interests.
The waging military operation isn't optimal solution to solve the otherwise political issues. the growing unrest since martyrdom of Nawab Akbar has influenced the international players to intervene and accumulate their vested interests against Pakistan. Balochs on other hand are considering the external help as blessing in disguise and are pushing themselves forward near to point of no return. Its irresponsibility of Government to feel the velocity of deepening crisis in making and take meaningful actions to avoid another East Pakistan.
The distrust between establishment and Balochs have compounded and widened with passage of the time and it might not be easy to bring the wounded tigers on table talks. However, if Pakistan can talk to Terrorist Talibans and enemy India then why not the doors of diplomacy should be opened for the Baloch brothers who are fighting on reactionary grounds.
The political leadership should have powers and mandate to listen the grievances and pinpoint the practical solutions if at all we are serious to save our country from further deterioration and degradation. We will have to adopt brinkmanship approach and concede all rightful demands of Balochs to avoid further disaster. it wont be easy ride to convince the dishearted Balochs but its our collective responsibility to fasten the art of diplomacy and make something out of hopelessness and sorrows.
I would maintain that constitutional guarantees, complete autonomy, De-militarization and total acknowledgement of their rights could be some conclusive steps to revive the lost love. But if we continue our denial and keep using the force i am afraid our offshore enemies are ready to balkanize our motherland.
