Barahamdagh Bugti, leader of the Baloch Republican Party (BRP), said Pakistan is depicting an illusionary picture of Balochistan to the outer world. While talking to Online, BRP leader said this on a telephone line directly from Switzerland on Tuesday. Denying the thanks-giving statements of Interior Minister Rehman Malik to Afghan Government, Bugti said that the camps along the Afghan border were of the refugees who had fled from Balochistan to save themselves from the barbarous Pakistan government policies. Baloch people left their homeland to get a sigh of serenity but conspiracies against them were still in practice. Human rights violations were in full swing in Balochistan and reports of several organisations and Amnesty International clarified that violations were in full bloom, he said. He added that Frontier Corps and Secret agencies were throwing mutilated dead bodies of the Baloch politicians and that State was working on the rule of ‘kill and throw’ in the province. He further said more than three hundred mutilated dead bodies had been thrown from 2010 onwards and that the government was using the latest weaponry against the Baloch people, which had been provided to them by the US during war against terror. He believed that foreign elements like India or other forces were no where in Pakistan and that such statements were baseless. If India or some foreign forces had been working in Pakistan then the Baloch nation would have had been living in a free atmosphere, he added. The present state of affairs was nonetheless different from 1972 when Bengalis were being killed, he added. He claimed children and women were not safe from the state agencies’ savagery acts and that his sister and niece had been murdered brutally in Karachi. Baloch people were living under immense pressure as state agencies were continuously trying to crush Baloch Movement of Freedom but it would not be that easy to keep them at bay, he iterated. He acknowledged that the presentation of Balochistan Resolution in US Congress and said that resistance in Balochistan had started from the very first day and that it was not a new issue. Political and religious factions were in serious trouble, as they didn’t have any soft corner for Baloch people, he claimed. They were trying to get hold of the precious minerals of Balochistan he asserted. Commenting further he said that if Pakistan wanted to give complete autonomy to Baloch people then BRP was ready to have meetings with the government. Baloch people would talk about freedom only, he stressed. Puppet Baloch government was being used to lower the temper of the angry politicians, especially Nawab Zulfiqar Ali Magsi and Nawab Aslam Raisani who were working for government’s benefits he claimed. He further said, “We want them to sit with us leaving personal grudges and advantages aside with honest hearts work for freedom.”
