Indian Intervention in Balochistan Proved

Although Pakistan's civil and military leadership has repeatedly stated that Indian secret agency, RAW supports separatism in the province of Balochistan, and its evidence will be shown to the western countries at the right occasion, yet Indian intervention in Balochistan is not confined to verbal statements, it has in fact proved in light of the following developments.

In the recent past, the Institute of Defence Studies and Analysis (IDSA), New Delhi organised a seminar titled: South Asia 2020 in connection with Balochistan. In their speeches, various scholars and thinktanks maligned Pakistan in one or the other way.


Besides the seminar, on November 5, 2009 a secret conference titled: Pakistan is Problem in Balochistan was organised by the Observer Research Foundation (ORF) in New Delhi. It was headed by the former secretary of RAW and Indian former chief of army staff. In that conference, high ranking selective officials, journalists and three Baloch leaders, namely, Dr Wahid Baloch, Khan of Kalat and Munir Mengal participated.

The speech of Dr. Wahid Baloch, General Secretary of the American Friends Balohistan (AFOB) is of special attention. He distorted the history by pointing out that in 1948, Balochistan was forcibly occupied by Pakistani armed forces because Nawab of Kalat had refused to abide by the demands of Muhammad Ali Jinah. 

It is well-known fact that the partition of India was made on the basis of religious demographics that led to the creation of Pakistan. The people of Balochistan, overwhelmingly voted to join Pakistan in a referendum that was held on June 30, 1947. The Indian Independence Act, 1947 allowed the independent states to join either India or Pakistan. The Khan of Kalat acceded to Pakistan on March 27, 1948 as a result of the free will of the Muslims of the province. 

While vocally raising false allegations in line of the Indian conspiracy against the federation Pakistan, Dr. Wahid Baloch explained, Balochistan still remains under the occupation of Pakistan and the international community should interfere in preventing atrocities on the Baloch people, being committed by Pak Army and ISI. Dr. Wahid also indicated his misperceptions that several Baloch leaders, engineers and doctors were kidnapped, torture and killed ruthlessly through Pakistan's state terrorism. 

In fact, the secret conference organised by the Indian officials itself and participation of the Baloch leaders including anti-Pakistan elements proves that Indian RAW is behind all the events like hostage-takings, sectarian violence, targeted killings of the high profile leaders and other subversive acts being committed in Balochistan. Besides, people of Balochistan enjoy equal rights and opportunities like the people of other provinces of Pakistan. Meanwhile, on Dec 12, 2009, the signing ceremony of the National Finance Commission (NFC) Award was held in the port city of Gwadar. In this regard, Punjab province has shown much flexibility as a good gesture of sacrifice especially for Balochistan. So it is wrong to say that Balochistan is under occupation.

While favouring the Sardari system (Fedual lords), Dr. Wahid maintained that Balochistan is a tribal society which follows the directions of their tribal chiefs. In this way, he not only justified support for the Baloch Sardars but also for Khan of Kalat as they have been leading separatism in the province. As a matter of fact, the unrest actually started in Balochistan when various projects were undertaken by the previous government to develop the backward regions of the province. The sole aim was to eliminate frustration among the people by providing infrastructure and employment opportunities. The Baloch Sardars who had been backed by India and other external powers started opposing all the developmental projects. These Sardars who were running their own private jails and farrari camps resisted the government plans as they did not want to give up the old system of feudal lords. It was Pak Army which occupied private jails and farrari camps and thus set free several innocent people.

Dr. Wahid accused in the sense of foreign propaganda campaign against Islamabad that Quetta Shura and Taliban leaders have taken shelter in the capital of Balochistan with the help of Pakistan. 

In reality, Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) which has been fighting for secession of the province get logistic support from India, while another CIA and Indian-supported separatist group, Jundollah (God's soldiers) is also working against the cordial relationship of Pakistan with China and Iran. In the past few years, their militants with the cooperation of foreign agents kidnapped and killed many Chinese and Iranian nationals in Pakistan, while committing other subversive acts in the province. 

While impressing New Delhi, Wahid Baloch said, We are a secular nation and not Islamist or extremist our secular culture is under attack by Pakistan and Iran for which we needs your help. He requested, We also need your help for newly established council of Balochistan so that we can established its offices all over the world.

Dr. Wahid read out a message of Balochs to the audience, appealing the Indian government to take a bold step in order to stand up against the tyranny and state terrorism of Pakistan inside Balochistan. He also appealed to the Indian high officials to raise the question of Balochistan on all international forums and the UN bodies. Concluding his anti-Pakistan speech, Wahid Baloch pointed out that the ultimate goal of Baloch struggle was to seek a greater Balochistan comprising territory on either side of the Goldsmith line in Pakistan as well as Iran.

Indian officials and RAW ex-officers in connivance with the participating Baloch leaders and friends also decided to continue the process and to establish some new organization which they decided before conducting the next meeting. Besides, Khan of Kalat expressed similar thoughts like Dr Wahid, indicating that the meeting has been a source of good interaction with the Indians, and they will use every source so as to get support for their struggle of independence.

Indian involvement in Balochistan plot could also be judged from the fact the Munir Mengal who repeated the thoughts of Dr. Wahid in the meeting held with the faculty of IDSA which assured him that India fully backs Baloch struggle and will definitely undertake necessary steps for making the same a success. It also pledged that all future activities of Baloch movement like guidance and help will be coordinated by a US team under the sponsorship of IDSA. Besides Munir Mengal also gave a presentation at ORF in which he also misinterpreted the economic aspects of Gwader Port as a threat to international community, opposing proposed China's naval base at Gwader. 

America which signed a nuclear deal with India in 2008, intends to make India a mini-super power of Asia by containing China and destablising Pakistan as well as Iran. Balochistan where China has invested billion of dollars to develop Gwadar seaport irritates both Washington and New Delhi.

Nevertheless, finally, Dr Wahid, Munir Mengal and Khalat remarked that their visit was very successful. They also met Indian deputy minister and other officials who told them that this is ever first meeting of its kind and things will further improve by the next such meeting. They also assured to the Baloch leaders that Baloch movement has not gain the momentum so far as expected, therefore, they could not support them openly, however, covert support will continue. While encouraging Baloch ledears to continue their struggle with full zeal and enthusiasm, the Indian officials paid 25000 dollars to each Baloch leader, assuring them more positive response by the next secret meeting to be held in February 2010.

Meanwhile on November 21, 2009, with the consent of the Baloch national leader Mir Hyrbyair Marri, Laurie Deamer who is active member of the Independence American Friends of Balochistan read out the resolution in the first international conference at the Nation Press Club in Washington DC. The resolution also raised same allegations in connection with Pak Army and state terrorism by implicating Islamabad and Tehran, emphasizing the necessity of an independent Balochistan. 

Nonetheless, while taking the breaking of Pakistan as inevitable and in the interests of the international community, especially the Baloch people and the United States, the conference called upon the US government and its affiliated departments to talk directly with Baloch independence, sending American leaders in Balochistan and abroad.

No doubt that after these conferences and secret meetings among the Indian officials, foreign agents and Baloch leaders, particularly Indian intervention in Balochistan has been proved.

AFGHANISTAN: World rejects India’s Taliban stand

A one-day international conference on Afghanistan rejected India’s argument that there were no degrees of Talibanism. British  Prime Minister Gordon Brown, hosting the conference with Afghan President Hamid Karzai and UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, announced in his opening address the establishment of a $500 million ‘trust fund’ to buy “peace and integration” with warriors who are engaged in violence for economic rather than ideological reasons. A whopping $140 million has been pledged already for this year.
During his pre-conference discussion with the British foreign secretary David Miliband, external affairs minister S M Krishna had specifically said, “There should be no distinction between a good Taliban and a bad Taliban.” But this clearly fell on deaf ears. It was also unclear whether remnants of Afghanistan’ s Northern Alliance, once cultivated by India, would be accommodated in any way. There was also no reference to the erstwhile foreign minister, Abdullah Abdullah, who put up a spirited fight in the first round of the recent controversial presidential election and exposed fraud before withdrawing from the contest.
Krishna was allocated a seat in the second of three rows of attendees at the conference which in itself reflected India’s peripheral role in Afghan affairs in the eyes of the international community. This, despite India being the biggest regional aid-giver to Afghanistan, with a commitment of $1.3 million. Earlier in the week, Turkey, an ally of Pakistan, did not even bother to invite India to a confabulation on Afghanistan.
Krishna was among more than 70 foreign ministers and officials of international organisations who attended the convention at the 185-year-old Lancaster House, a coveted venue for summits and high level interactions.
Pakistan supports a differentiation between Taliban segments, including being generally soft towards the Afghan Taliban, which was sponsored by the Pakistani Army’s Inter-Services Intelligence. In an interview to a British daily on Thursday, foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi claimed: “Pakistan is perhaps better placed than any other country in the world to support Afghan reintegration and reconciliation. ”
As a goodwill gesture, the conference was preceded by a lifting of United Nations sanctions on five leaders of the obscurantist Taliban regime, which was ousted by armed forces led by the United States after the 9/11 attack on New York by the Afghanistan- based Al Qaida. Among the beneficiaries is a former foreign minister Wakil Ahmad Muttawakil.
However, Brown warned, “But those insurgents who refuse to accept the conditions for reintegration, we have no choice but to pursue them militarily.” It is widely believed that hardcore elements among the extremists will not accept the amnesty.
In keeping with United States President Barack Obama’s plan to start withdrawing American troops in a little over 18 months, Brown also declared that to fill the breach the strength of the Afghan army would be increased to 134,000 by October of this year and to 171,600 by October 2011. Corresponding enlargements would also occur in respect of the Afghan police. The template for Afghanistan is similar to the one utilised in Iraq, that of handover of responsibilities province by province to national security forces.

The idea of Injustice

Amit Sengupta Delhi
When the Best Bakery judgement first arrived in the form of scathing observations by the Justices of the Supreme Court, in an acidic, perverse and claustrophobic scenario when Narendra Modi was behaving as a Hindutva God reincarnated and the BJP-led regime had lost the last remains of both humanism and morality, Supreme Court lawyer Colin Gonsalves told this reporter that this was "Indian judiciary's finest day". This was when the Constitution and justice system was turned meaningless in Gujarat after the 2002 state-sponsored carnage, and Modi and his organised machinery of xenophobes went about, first, ethnic-cleansing like the Nazis had done in Germany and Europe, and then, pumping their chests in megalomaniac glorification. We will repeat this "successful experiment" across the nation, warned VHP hate machine Praveen Togadia. That is the time when the Supreme Court's observations arrived, and it spread a wave of relief within the huge populace of battered, pluralist and secular Indians, who seemed to have lost all hope in the justice system. That is the relief we are chasing in this 'idea of injustice', looking for no miracle, but, basically, the hard reality of justice, from visible despair and bad faith to the essence of universal goodness and rationality. Every word in this cover story is stretching this threshold of disbelief, desperately seeking the wisdom of a constitutional democracy, subverted by those who are extracting the final juices of democracy, with abject insensitivity and brutality.
We are in the here and now of a rapidly-changing society where aspirations are rising so high that even the most condemned and exiled would not accept injustice lying down. To say that we are a superpower with 10 per cent GDP growth makes no sense to the two lakh undertrials whom the law minister wants to 'free' from their abject unfreedoms. It also makes no sense to those 77 per cent Indians who live on Rs 20 a day. Not even to those tribals, just about six per cent of the population, who are being dismantled by armed and corporate force, their bare bodies, magical folk narratives, and pristine ecology, being devastated by the big business of insatiable greed, backed by the Indian State and its gigantic armed machinery. If the brutalised nation and its survivors of carnages come first, then you don't have to wait for 25 years for the first chargesheet against Sajjan Kumar. And why should the friends and family of Ruchika trudge through infinite Kafkasque corridors of injustice and torture to seek justice with enlightened candles after 17 long years, while a big cop smirks for all the cameras? Why? Who will give back millions of Ruchikas their right to happiness and peace, to be a free citizen without fear or prejudice, in the largest democracy? http://www.hardnewsmedia.com/2010/02/3437

Lunchtime Vid: The Story of Blackwater's Youngest Victim

Nine-year-old Ali Kinani became Blackwater's youngest victim in September 2007 when Blackwater mercenaries at Baghdad's Nissour Square opened fire on unarmed civilians, killing 17. Ali Kinani's family are the only victims to turn down Blackwater's settlement offer, reportedly $100,000 per victim, and they have sued Blackwater. The Nation's Jeremy Scahill tells their story in a detailed article, which he and filmmaker Richard Rowley have adapted into a short documentary:


The struggles of the Kinanis, who hate Blackwater but retain surprisingly sunny faith in the American legal system, bring a human chapter to the long book of charges against Blackwater. The shadowy private security company has drawn fire for its closeness to the CIA, its secret operations in Pakistan, and its alleged bribes to Iraqi officials. Could the tragedy of the Kinanis' loss, or perhaps their lawsuit in North Carolina, push Blackwater past the tipping point?

Indian malevolent intentions

Shah Waseem


This refers to the news report that “India to disfavor NATO forces exit” in war ravaged Afghanistan at a multilateral conference which was held on Thursday in London on the matter of Afghanistan.  This shows and exposes the malevolent, malicious, mala-fide and nefarious intent of Indian leadership and its policy towards Afghanistan, as it wants to use it as its bastion to spread the trouble in Pakistan.

There is already enough of evidence which has proven it beyond any doubt that Indian agency RAW and Israel’s Mossad nexus have developed vicious interests in the pell-mell and commotion in Afghanistan to pursue their heinous agenda, camouflaged under the ‘peace and developmental works’, which has brought death and misery to the Afghan people. After all what is the objective of spending more than US dollar 1.3 billion, when over 70% of Indian population is reeling under abject poverty.
It is the occupation of Afghanistan and the disruptive role of RAW which has caused extreme turbulence in Pakistan with its spillback effects on Afghanistan. India has made deep inroads in all spheres of life in Afghanistan with the active help of Israel as it wants to spread its hegemony and increase its military presence to be able to encircle Pakistan and spread its influence in central Asian states. Already India according to reports has established an airbase in Tajikistan which became operational in 2007 and where many Indian MiG-31 bombers are parked. Farkhor base gives IAF option to strike Pakistan from the rear. India would therefore not like to lose these strategic benefits and in consonance with Israel, which has huge influence over Washington would keep advising USA to convert Afghanistan into a permanent military base, which will have serious repercussions on the security and future of South Asia.
Already it has been a confirmed report by an American institution that Indian intelligence agency RAW is funding and supporting terrorists to keep pot boiling in Afghanistan so that Pakistan remains busy in bloody conflicts along its Afghan border which has now spread deep inside its territory making situation worse, Delhi wants to exploit the conditions in its favour and by spreading the propaganda of safety of Pakistan’s nukes.
Accordingly India and Israel are running their dirty business on the future of poor Afghanis even by fake incidents so as to justify NATO troops presence there,  Anderson Cooper of CNN showed video of snipers (Mossad or Israeli soldiers) killing American soldiers in Iraq. Many Afghan soldiers have been trained by Blackwater to kill US soldiers while conducting joint operations, with a purpose to enrage US troops so that slaughter continues. That is why Delhi is getting stomach cramps when any rational talk of quitting Afghanistan by foreign troops comes which will usher an era of peace and prosperity in the region. Here under the garb of peace and developmental works India is doing great injustice to Afghanistan and ultimately to herself as great and conscious Afghanis will never forgive India’s dubious role in fomenting trouble there, with already by it’s intransigence and belligerence turned South Asia into a nuclear hotspot by vituperating Kashmiri peoples national sentiments and by keeping Kashmir dispute lingering.

Indian Terror Interests

By Dr. Abdul Ruff Colachal

Innocent India has a hidden terror face that deliberately sends out conflicting signals to the world to mislead it for India's own future advantages. India has been literally dying for a seat in the notorious security council of UN to pursue its illegal interests across the globe. The nucelarism deal was to affect that urge with US support on payment basis. Once inside the terrorist United Nations Security Council , the terror Indian can dictate terms to all its neighbors in South Asia as a “great power”. The poor people of South Asia have very little time, before our citizens are sacrificed as cannon fodder on the altar of Imperialism & Zionism. The only way is to "expose the politics of terror". The Mumbai 26 11 false flag terror attack was not only an attack on India, but on all of South Asia. Another false flag terror attack will be used by the pro-US Indian elite to mobilize hundreds of thousands of youth to go to war in Afghanistan, maybe even Pakistan & Iran. Indian soldiers have been used in the past by the British Colonial power to fight their wars across the world, especially in Middle East & North Africa. Once more the US Empire seeks to use our People.
Mumbai 26 11 too was staged by the Indian agencies and Israeli Lobby working in India under US directions. Mumbai Nov26 had the signature of western-trained operatives: commandos arrival quietly by dinghy to shore, quickly mobilizing to urban terrain, navigating & communicating with high-tech sys is a specific skill taught by Navy elite to Marines,South Asian struggle against Imperialism & Zionism is the need of the hour. A South Asia free of the US European & Israeli Imperialists is the need of the hour & is our patriotic calling. It is clear that the US, or rather Obama, cannot win the war in Afghanistan, even stabilize the land & thus they are increasingly desperate. The only country that can provide them with the human power in the region is India. The US war, is not humanity war. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization Axis evils seek to make it everyone’s war & for that they will stage false-flag terror attacks. Without terrorisms not capitalism, colonialism and imperialism canto survive.
India, unlike Pakistan  has vast “resources”, including stolen, to its terror credit and these are used freely to advance its interests. Signaling undercurrent and simmering tensions in the India Pakistan relations following the IPL row and a rise in ceasefire violations, Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Qureshi and his Indian counterpart Krishna and will be attending the London conference on Afghanistan on January 28, but will not have a separate bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the conference. This is very rare and unusual in the context of Indo Pak relations and reflects the prevailing discord between the two neighbours..India is unable to answer the query form Islamabad about real culprits of Mumbai and Lahore terror activities and would  hold separate meetings with its terror partners in Islamic world US terror secretary of State Hillary Clinton, British Foreign Terror Secretary Miliband and Australian Foreign Minister Smith on its future role in Afghanistan. Of late, both USA and UK are in praise for India for the “special resources” it offers to them. The West is also urging China to take a “keen interest”, “share” the “burden” and get involved in the building up of Afghanistan. China just ignores them as international bluffers.
Today the USA and UK are trumpeting about a terror attack in India, preferably a serial attack. This gives the hint that India is already ready with a terror project, possible a joint venture with USA and UK “India faces the real prospect of another major terrorist attack by Pakistan-based terrorist organizations in the near future. In recent days, the matter of the Military & strategic involvement of the Indian forces in terrorism and Afghanistan is getting all the more clearer. The strategic objective that propelled the Mumbai 26 11 false flag terror attack was to prepare the consensus amongst the Indian people, whereby the notorious pro US Israel political elite, would be free to deploy terror Military into the war theatre in Afghanistan.
In the last few days, there have been high profile visits from both Richard Holbrooke  & US terror minister Secretary, Robert Gates, accompanied by shrill warnings from 'Western Sources' of another terror attack that was imminent. General James Jones, who is the National Security Advisor to Obama, has stated in the US Congress that the Al Qaeda is barely a hundred in number. This statement was never reported in the corporate media. Just imagine, a 100,000 US troops to flush out less than a 100 Al Qaeda. The US India elites say India can be a net provider of security in the Indian Ocean & beyond   making valuable contributions to stability operations across the globe. One of the great successes in recent years has been the increase in the number & complexity of joint training exercises between terror militaries.
The leading hawkish “US assets” in Indian strategic fields keep pressing for the deployment of Indian troops into the Afghan war. The terror instinct has got fresh impetus after Obama sent fresh US terrorists to Afghanistan recently. One of known US agents in Indian terror military establishment K Subrahmanyam does mirror the hawkish inclinations of a section of the Indian elite & was one of the main writers that created the consensual manipulation that lead to the finalization of the Indo US Nuclear Deal, which was less about the energy component & was basically a military-strategic alliance.
US led NATO uses Indian economic and regional clout would like to promote it as  the chief agent in South Asia, in stead of Pakistan which collects money for killing Muslims while India does it for them free of cost. In order to divert the world attention from its secret terror plans, India asks Pakistan to “guarantee” against any future terror attacks in India. This is a slap on India’s own face. First, Indian military and intelligence outfits are incapable to checking the terror attacks and, two, Pakistan or for that matter any other neighbor can offer that guarantee when Indian big wings engineer terrorist plans and execute them by efficiently using the agents. How can Pakistan monitor the terror plans taking lace inside India which has now close knit terror ties with Zionist and other fascist regimes, like USA, UK? For example, can Pakistan control the Hindu terrorist activities around the Indian dams like at Bhakra Nangal on Punjab-Himachal border?
Indian media celebrate the failures of its neighbors to foolishly ignoring the Indian doctrines and hidden agendas hatched in New Delhi from time to time- very effectively shielded by its newly acquired strategic partners USA apart fro UK and Russia. It is possible that the intelligence establishment is not doing the needful to inform the regimes of the Indian designs. Indian external maneuvering capabilities and its capacity to malign Pakistan as a cover to advance its terror and subversive techniques are generally not taken as seriously as they do deserve even by Pakistan which thinks USA and UK, their strategic terror leaders from the cultured west, would not let India outsmart Pakistan, their regional terror ally in killing Muslims.

India thinks once Pakistan is borught under its control like the USA has done, the rest of the region, especially Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal, would learn to behave well, while Kashmiri Muslims would automatically shut their freedom cries.
